A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (self.showerthoughts)

The Central Government (federal government) just passed a new data protection law, and has introduced new laws to replace the criminal justice laws (crimes, punishments, procedures, evidence, trials).

The data protection law gives way too much power to the Central Government, and they can basically exempt anyone and anything from the law.

The current criminal laws have slowly evolved with a lot of debate since the late 1800s. The new criminal laws seem rushed.

Tbf, that could be a summary for most countries of the planet right now.
