Oh, and mark my words -- as soon as the copyfraud lobby starts losing the debate around #Article11 and #Article13, they *will* take out the big guns: child pornography and terrorism.
When (not "if"!) that happens, remember: I called it!
woohoo!!! axial tilt ftw!!!

"Peopleβs egos get bigger after meditation and yoga, says a new study

sometimes true. it's one thing to understand that "self" is just a transient and malleable definition behind which lies an ineffable will. it's another to completely divest one's psyche of any such self-conception. I'd go so far as to say that it's impossible without becoming a waste of breath. but we can learn to not get hung up on it, to laugh, release expectations/judgments, etc, with practice.

Unfortunately, you can't vote the rascals out, because you never voted them in, in the first place.

ps. I know this is not necessarily representative of every usa citizen who may read this post. but gods damnit, if that's the reality that average citizens accept as true, then president dwayne elizondo mountain dew herbert camacho is right around the corner. ffs, trump is nearly that, and I'm ashamed to say, I prefer him to killary if only because he's slightly less transparently a psychotic mass murderer, and his antics have a bit more entertainment value.
every time I watch the `history` channel or other supposedly non-fiction 'murican tv show, I want to punch myself in the face. no wonder the usa is so utterly fucked. if that's the idea of history and science that people accept as true, the political landscape is a no brainer. 'murica!! freedumb!!! jerry springer for president!!! or maybe vermin supreme would have a shot if he was actually serious and not acting...

'We will take this fight to plenary and still hope to #SaveYourInternet'
'Some are blaming the EU for the vote for #UploadFilters and #LinkTax, but donβt be fooled: Anti-EU politicians like #ENF voted in favour of both articles! Without them, the Link Tax would have been rejected. Now help me #FixCopyright in the plenary vote in July'
infografic about who voted what about to follow.
laws can only function as long there is no mass disobedience and solidarity towards those being punished.
#Article13 #EU #ICE
BREAKING: The EU JURI committee has passed #Article13. This requires sites to filter all submissions against a database of copyrighted worksβcreating a #CensorshipMachine that puts thousands of daily activities and millions of Internet users at the mercy of algorithmic filters.
BREAKING: The EU Parliament's JURI committee has approved #Article11. This #LinkTax will hurt those who use the Internet for sharing, punish projects like Wikipedia, and βposes a significant threat to an informed and literate society," according to the research community.
on a related note, the big-ag / biotech industry tends to promote a lot of false narratives concerning plant nutrients. the general ignorance of decision makers makes them highly subject to this spurious propaganda.
a good example is "golden rice". it's a solution to a problem that wouldn't exist were it not for government/corporate anti-competitive subsidization of rice production instead of much heartier and nutrient rich millets which are culturally traditional.
about the effects of increased COβ. it's common to do this in greenhouses to increase yield by weight.
"Across the different types of rice, they observed average decreases of 10 percent in protein, 8 percent in iron and 5 percent in zinc. Four important B vitamins decreased between 13 and 30 percent. The research was recently published in Science Advances. Higher carbon dioxide is not just affecting rice. There's evidence that the scope of this is much bigger. "
Of course it's extremely easy to say, "The heck with it. I'm just going to adapt myself to the structures of power and authority and do the best I can within them." Sure, you can do that. But that's not acting like a decent person.
