You mix a ton of wasabi into the soy sauce. Artificial non-problem solved!

Until someone hacks your brain, or just puts a keyboard in front of you and lets the chip do its thing without your consent.

A solid 8 or 9 months beyond acceptable, but the only time it's too late to stop arming genocidal regimes is after their goal is complete.

In fact, increasing Earth's albedo by pumping certain types of chemicals into the higher layers of the atmosphere has been proposed as a possible geoengineering solution that could slow down global warming.

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire project was architected as a way to completely sidestep regulatory approval and test geoengineering theories before climate change really starts to pop. Elon and his fellow plutocrats are undoubtedly sociopathic enough to do that.

Don't forget the hundreds of billions that global capitalism funneled into China by "outsourcing" absolutely everything they possibly could over the last 30-40 years — devaluing developed world labour markets and environmental regulations, and winding back the clock to an unregulated slave labour market is what made it so attractive.

With 700 million bots conducting marketing and psychological warfare ops it is!

This would actually make a huge amount of sense. Your brain literally chemically rewires during puberty, so I imagine there's also varying degrees of memory pruning based on frequency of access and interrelatedness.

I had a fine childhood. Nothing I would consider abnormal in a traumatic or negative sense, and the fidelity of my memories have always been limited. Some brains just aren't designed to hold onto the past ... which is quite comical because I the things I do remember, I remember strongly; even when they're essentially irrelevant. Oh well.

Intercepting the shipment, lining the interior of with some explosive (some putty that could hug all open space, or swapping out the batteries with custom ones that are half filled, etc), then wiring up a microchip that triggers when a specific code of 1's & 0's is received, or perhaps audio signal.

We're talking about a state secret police here. There is no law or order. There is no "democracy". They have billions of dollars in funding, and a mandate to do whatever they want with essentially zero consequences.

What I find most concerning is that a large number of people/journalists considered it plausible to blow up a (edit: stock standard) pager remotely via some hack or zero day.

The war crimes are expected.

When there are zero consequences for war crimes, the "rules based" law and order we virtue signal is completely meaningless.

He has now agreed to forfeit the money along with various aircraft parts.

Oh look. Another example that we live in capitalist plutocracy's masquerading as democracy™️... Imagine trafficking drugs and the only consequence being forfeiture of the proceeds and inventory.

Non violent drug offense? Life in prison! Violating sanctions and assisting a hostile enemy? Oopsie whoopsie!
