  Robert Galbraith Heath (May 9, 1915 – September 21, 1999) was an American psychiatrist.[1][2] He followed the theory of biological psychiatry, which holds that organic defects are the sole source of mental illness

  Indeed, he has been cited as the first, or one of the first, researcher(s) to have placed electrodes deep into the brains of living human patients.[15][1] It has been suggested that this work was financed in part by the government, particularly the CIA or U.S. military.[16][17][18]

  In 1972, he attempted using DBS to change a homosexual man to heterosexuality, which caused temporary arousal, but did not lead to long term change in attractions.[19] Heath also experimented with psychosurgery, the drug bulbocapnine to induce stupor, and LSD,[20][21][22] using African-American prisoners in the Louisiana State Penitentiary as experimental subjects.[23] He worked on schizophrenia patients, which he regarded as an illness with a physical basis.[24] Today Heath’s work is considered highly controversial and is only rarely used as reference material.

  Thst article has been taken down, i found it here

  metro.co.uk/…/dystopian-toilets-wont-give-loo-rol…

  i suspect because its shit journalism and a nothingburger, another look what i saw on instagram, i am a reporter

  the article alos suggests this is to stop people taking the piss so to speak with how much they take and use generally

  so while i don’t agree, yes i can imagine this, toilets need up keep, this is a way to manage it, there are plenty of places were you must pay to use a toilet, and there are plenty of out of order free toilets

  The stolen generation continues under other names, Indigenous familes are still regularly torn apart in the name of child protection, Grand Mothers Against Removals is a group that works to keep children in community, you can read some more about them here

  I’m not going to spend the time responding to every one of your points, but you might need to take a step back and think about you were so quick to ardently defend an imperialist settler colony

  p.s.

  something that is really irking me lately is the implication that the state banning racist hand gestures, and nazi flags is going to solve anything.

  Banning nazi symbols only means nazis now march under the australian flag, the australian flag was already a colonial symbol, it comes from a time when the state was explicitly white supremacist. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

  If you properly close a toilet seat/lid, everyone has to open it before using it, I don’t see what the big deal is

  Its possible to have back and forth conversation on a wikipedia user talk page, are they banning wikipedia too? The comments section on a news website? Desktop email clients and hotmail accounts?

  I can’t see a way where this doesn’t end up being used to restrict information from wider society. Even just banning kids from the internet, is restricting millions of people who deserve to be able to access the resources on the www
