Not when it's about sitewide policies. (Like reddit banning "Luigi" etc)

There is definitely a point where it's beneficial to have a rest and continue learning and/or write the exam the next day in a well-rested state.

Was also going to write that. Best perk there is. It saves money and time for both me and the company.

Doing good feels good. Our brains are wired for cooperation. I think most evil people are miserable.

Dashcams are legally controversial in Germany. Generally the common opinion is that they're only allowed if they quickly delete all recorded data and only save it if there was an actual accident.

The problem with a bodycam is that while it's allowed to film in public, it's not allowed to film specific people without their permission. So it would be fine to film a busy street without focusing on any people in particular, but going into a store with your bodycam where it would film your interaction with the cashier would be illegal.

No, as that would be illegal in many situations in my country. I also don't want cameras pointed at me constantly, so I don't do that to other people either.

Evil is not held back by scruples or moral boundaries. Evil people will do whatever they need to to succeed. That includes manipulating people, something which today's technology facilitates. Add to that the fact that for many people in developed countries, life is slowly getting worse instead of improving over the last few years. The frustration over that can easily be turned into hate against minorities, foreigners etc.
