What the US PornHub ‘ban’ is really about

It's a classic tactic, use a somewhat legitimate concern (Minors having access to pornography). And blow it far out of proportion, and use it as an excuse to crackdown on what you're really after. You will see people defending these bans because the "reasoning" they're being presented SEEMS rational, but unwittingly they're supporting a mass crackdown on their own rights.

[Update] I took two pills intead of one this morning

You'll almost certainly be alright, keep track of your status and call a nurse/teladoc to see if you need medical assistance. The most important thing is you stay calm and don't let your panic take over.

Here is some online information I found, I can't tell you how accurate it will be for you, but it seems that a max dosage is at least 70mg, and if I'm reading it correctly, that's for pediatric cases.

Indiana teachers battling right-wing bill to dissolve public school districts

My parents, who were both public school teachers, saw this coming well over a decade ago. They've seen the slow strangulation of the public school system as a basic inevitability ever since the Bush Admin. I'm not gonna go out of my way to defend the current schooling system as without issues, it's DEEPLY flawed, particularly in how funds are allocated and how it handles children with developmental disorders/neurodivergences. However, handing everything over to for-profit groups who will have no interest in promoting the public good over making ever greater profits, is NOT the answer. Watching this happen in my own state at the same time leaves me sick.

The results of post WWII women enterting the work force have really fucked over everybody.

You are not supposed to downvote "unpopular opinions" because you disagree with them folks. That is not how this sub is supposed to work. OP posted a legitimately unpopular opinion, tell him why he's wrong or upvote responses that disagree, don't downvote him.

For my two cents OP, I think you have a point about more time needing to be devoted to child rearing. But I disagree that it needs to be a specific parent. If you reduce both parents workload enough to let them balance life responsibilities that's actually BETTER than letting one parent take up all the slack. We require simply TOO much labor from EVERYONE, it's totally unnecessary and wasteful and it's part of what leads to our culture of burnout.

What would make for some good "chill" Mordor ambiance?

The lowest hanging fruit for recommending here is probably Summoning, that's about as close to a band who's entire concept is "Chill Mordor Ambiance". Alternatively, anything in the Atmospheric-Black Metal to Dungeon Synth pipeline, Ornatorpet, Paysage D'Hiver, or Old Sorcery. You might not find the screechy vocals to your taste, but it has unmatched Atmosphere.
