Is it illegal to use certain drugs to remove memories?
No drugs remove memories. Hiding from your trauma isn’t sustainable. Find help. Process it. Accept it. It’s part of your story and cannot be ripped out like some chapters worth of pages torn from a book.

Bias in science (split from Evolution of religiosity)
The ironic thing is there's more bias coming from the OP about science than we're likely to find within science itself.

"Elementary my dear Watson."
The relevant point here IMO is enforcement. Congress writes laws. Judicial interprets laws. Executive executes laws. If the principle executive broke the law, and it's the executive branch which enforces laws, the principle can simply choose not to enforce. This is at the core of Trumps immunity argument, btw. Who watches the watchers, basically.

RICHARD DAWKINS ❤ CANCEL CULTURE (or not)
That’s all well and good lil’Gaga Gigi, but we can all acknowledge you’re trying to dismiss him and frame him as small and unworthy. You sound childish when you do, and it makes you easy to ignore as a petulant trollish waste of bandwidth (like I just did here to you)

Did those articles lead you to your conclusion, or did your conclusion lead you to those articles?

As evidenced right here in this thread, nobody is making that claim, so maybe this too is another example of:

Major breakthrough faster than light travel
If he’s moving faster than light then that’s not unreasonable

Are all kinds of vinegar more or less the same?

In a world where Pearl Jam gets played on the oldies station and episodes of Discovery and Picard are themselves already a few years old, ST Next Generation episodes ARE the older ones

Old house in Texas. Had a fly like this land on a bay window in the kitchen. Discovered quickly that day it was single pain glass when I smushed the fly with my now bleeding thumb. Taught myself that weekend how to glaze a new pane into a bay window. And squished the fly, so it was basically pure win.

The Man of Hate and Greed
It's hard to fathom the number of ways our world would be simply better if there were fewer NDAs preventing people from sharing their experiences and telling the truth.

Trump Guilty
Based on what we’re seeing, it depends more on who the felon is and whether they’re part of the governors in-group or out-group

To be frank, no, but I encourage you to keep trying.

Experience: Wig?
It’s difficult to find a properly fitting hat online. I’m sure a wig is even more difficult to find a properly fitting one online. You shouldn’t be shopping online for this item is my main recommendation. Your threads btw are absurd

12V Spotlight Flashing Slowly
I’m sure that would help, but snugging it up exactly as I mentioned works

12V Spotlight Flashing Slowly
My LEDs sometimes do this if the bulb isn’t fully seated. Maybe give it a sixteenth of a turn to ensure it’s fully in.

All over your post, too.

Human (and Animal) Same-Sex Attraction (I think this falls under psychology)
Nah, it’s due to your words and the way you describe others.

Experience: Wig?
No, but it’s hard enough buying a well fitting cap online. It’s always better to try a few on in the shop before deciding. A wig is sure to be 100x harder than a cap, too, and 1,000x more embarrassing if it doesn’t fit correctly. I’d say find another route or in-person shopping

Bias in science (split from Evolution of religiosity)
This looks like another example of you putting the cart before the horse and having a preconceived view or conclusion THEN seeking out and cherry picking data which seems to support it (instead of looking at the entire landscape of data and letting the data inform / alter your views).

Trump Guilty
It’s part of a broader global trend where individual values and principles get replaced with fear and simplistic answers to massively complex and existentially challenging questions. Monolithic bogeymen are easier than fluid dynamics The world is flatter and more interconnected than ever, and our collective daily experiences involve active war zones, rapidly spreading pandemics, Terminator style AI, and disastrous destructive climate change that is both worsening and driving drought and famine induced migration of whole swaths of the population. This is the threat and risk landscape in which we currently exist, one where the survival of our children and grandchildren is genuinely in question, and where for tens upon tens of millions even the availability of food to feed ourselves today is often uncertain. So, to overcome the natural human feelings of anxiety and fear this rightfully creates, many people turn to simple answers and, while it’s false, tend to find comfort in the authoritarian arms and words of hateful strongmen. We’re just apes with grocery stores and computers, basically, and the silver back quarterback still appeals to us more than the problem solving pencil geek. The right wing is rising on a current of fear, blaming “the other” to whip up frothy masses instead of driving solutions to the aforementioned disasters happening all around. It’s easier, and in a lot of ways we’re a mostly lazy species who prefers simplicity. I know I do.
