Proton is a good fit, and skiff.com may fit the bill as well.

I’m not sure why you’re downvoted. It’s China. If they can do it, you know they are. But the question is whether they can. I imagine cloning sheep and small monkeys are much easier than cloning humans.

Dunno, you’re the one that insinuated the nothing bit.

Keep in mind, many of these people are untrained and unverified and may have no clue what they’re doing and make your situation worse.

Sure. Done. Welcome to the United States of China.

To add the opposite of this, cats do cover up their feces in the wild very well, and housecats will in a litterbox too instinctually. To hide their scent so they don’t get eaten.

It’s all about needs. Humans became the top of the food chain and stopped needing as much, so we started doing other things. Also in the wild if there’s wind then there won’t be as much on things, dust really only starts to gather once walls are built (or in caves I suppose.)

While I agree with the rest of your comment, and Comey waiting until after the election to let certain things be known is fucked, but this isn’t any federal organization in the US, this is basically a memo from a bunch of legal and civil groups worldwide saying ‘we think Biden is enabling genocide’ or at least didn’t prevent it. Aside from that…

Operation paperclip wasn’t a ‘lets go get some of the hardest hardcore Nazis we can because Nazis, fuck yeah!’, it was because they were some of the best minds in engineering, science, and technology. This was right after the US had shown the world the bomb. So they had focused their energy on making a megaweapon, and next was likely seeing what else they could achieve with the knowledge gained from it, with new minds. Propulsion, time travel, advanced small weaponry, gravity manipulation, It’s not often you get to go steal over a thousand of the best minds from a very intelligent now-former superpower. I’m sure it was a free-for-all of ideas with them being mostly not workable, and many came to fruition and were used to advance other technologies, and some we’re keeping secret for when we really need them. I don’t speak on this with authority, only common sense.

There were over 1,600 people taken in OP paperclip. Many, but not all, were former members and some former leaders of the Nazi party.

The first rule of Black Comedy Film Club is you don’t talk about Black Comedy Film Club.

Let Russia take Ukraine and have a decade to learn from their mistakes and rebuild. The flyers dropped over the United States of USSR and United Kingdom of USSR will be cut out in the shape of a tiger. Putin will chuckle.

Dropping aid to Ukraine is the worst possible move we can make.

Progozhin had a literal army protecting him. It still took over a month and the first opportunity was to plant a bomb under the wing of his private jet.

Putin will use as much propaganda and (made up) blackmail as he needs, and if that doesn’t work, he’ll make sure he does something to be able to lock him up, just like he did to Navalny.

You can only make so many martyrs before anyone with a conscience is willing to become one as well.

It’s a well known phenomena that some people just don’t get high their first time(s). I knew a guy since high school and years after that was basically immune to it. People gave him huge vape bags and massive doses of edibles and it never had an effect. Never saw the guy forget a single word. Then apparently at some point it did, because he smokes now.

There are also people who are terrible at metabolizing gummies. I’m not one of them. Give me 2mg and I’m good. Give me 20mg and I’m curled up in the fetal position in bed waiting for the visions and monsters in my head to go away.

Ah yes, the infamous Elgin VPN outproxies. Where almost all traffic from anyone employed and using the internet overseas is filtered through.

If you’re truly interested in our cyber warfare capabilities around that time and where they were stationed, I’d start with this primer.

Then if you’re still interested, I’d read our 2025-2040 initiatives.

Assuming you aren’t one of the many bots infesting Lemmy…

Do your ““obvious statements”” come with actual research to back them up?

Yes the US uses bots but it’s mainly real people doing the job of downvoting antI-US (or pro-US depending on the sub) posts. Chinese people don’t use tiktok, they use Douyin, so this would be like reddit itself suppressing those posts, which may be happening but again, did you do the research?

Saying something is not research.

I had the funny mental image of some intern at Parks Canada getting ahold of the Amazon account and putting in an order for 20,000 salt cubes for $27 each when they have literal metric truckloads of it already at bulk prices.

Or, the people who fund global terrorist groups are well-connected and able to fund a global proxy network of company owners who are completely unconnected to them, and they are smart enough never to communicate this information in a technological manner.

Cyber capabilities don’t help if the adversary is 7 degrees of separation away and doesn’t use technology to transmit the information.

It’s not just the freshness but the trees/breed, growing conditions, etc. But I just stick to Adderall.

If you act towards everyone else how you act towards your siblings (or parents if you’re an only child) and they don’t take you to meet up and play often with other homeschooled kids, then yes you’re going to be weird.

It’s a very accurate stereotype. Have you ever seen an unsocialized dog around other dogs who have been properly socialized? And it takes so many more years to learn human socialization.

Interestingly this is measurable. I have a garmin watch and whenever children are close for 15 mins, I get a relaxation reminder telling me to do breathing exercises. So this mental defect manifests itself physically.

A stress response is a stress response. When you’re feeling that fight/flight response, it’s not just in your brain. Maybe you have a bit of a mind/body/heart disconnect - I realized I did many years ago in therapy when I was upset about something and he asked where I felt it and I asked what he meant. I’ve worked on it since, paying attention to whether I feel a tightness in my throat, stomach, chest, butterflies, etc. It’s helped me notice patterns I didn’t before.
