Not right away. I have grown to have a healthy caution towards new things when it comes to what i put in my body. I would give it maybe 5 years or so. Enough time for them to do some multi-year studies on any potential health effects. Im not just gonna take some companies word that these meats are what they say they are.
I have no problem with the idea of lab grown meat on its own i just don't trust companies to do it right.
Do you absolutely require linux? If so something like a older microsoft surface would be best probably. Where its a full computer x86 based and has a detatchable keyboard, or a 2-in-1 that folds the keyboard back. Downside with this is worse battery life, and itll be a bit bulkier.
If what you want is just a tablet that does not spy on you id actually reccomend just getting a pixel tablet and putting graphene OS on it. Its a custom android ROM that strips a lot out and sandboxes things to give you more control over the device while still being based on android and bringing the advantages that has (battery life, mobile optimization, etc). Down side is you dont get the full Linux OS youd want.
I find that when people talk about Aliens they tend to think about them as this monolith. If the purpose of coming here was a humanitarian mission i doubt their military is involved. Something akin to the Red Cross would be organizing it. The Red Cross doesnt have a bunch of military technology. If a bunch of people with swords came at them theyd be in danger. Its not the same as the Marine Corps for example. Who have advanced weapons and body armor on while on missions and air support.
Its very likely they arent even allowed to bring high-tech weapons into this solar system the same way you wouldn't be allowed to bring an AK-47 onto North Sentinel Island.
So assuming that they have the tech they need with them is a bit of a stretch IMO. And who knows how long it would take for them to relay whats going on back to the government, request military support, and get that tech sent out here.
If there really are Aliens here its very likely some Humanitarian Org that is using out of date donated tech thats legally prohibited from having certain things for fear theyd accidentally give it to us. Im sure their military could easily disable every nuke on this planet, but is it so easy for their Red Cross? That im not so sure about.
As for if theyd be used to this sort of thing they may not be. Theres a good chance if this is a species thats more type 2 rather than type 3 and say they've explored a quarter of our galaxy that them being around to witness an intelligent species taking its first steps into space has only happened a couple times at most. Its a very small window of time and most more primitive species in the star systems they control probably arent near that window yet.
To fight for what is right is to understand that your enemy is not some incorporeal evil, but simply misguided fools commiting evil acts by chance. While we cant let our empathy make us weak; We also cant allow ourselves to be consumed by a hatred for the fools we fight.
Personally if its something i cant block ads on i simply dont watch. Something that can be kinda hard to block ads on for example is twitch.tv which i used to never use until i realized i could use an alternate player and not get ads. And for tv and movies i pirate everything.
Of course? How are u blaming a kid for not having a costume? Most of them are probably poor and their parents didnt get them one. And even if the kid didnt want to you gotta think why wouldnt they want to? Is it because that child is "lame" or is it because that child hasnt been given an opportunity to feel comfortable expressing themselves?
because we are nothing but a prop to them. If it were politically expedient theyd genocide us too
you can probably just force it to play and itll have some glitches or something. I googled it there are programs that repair video files. If u have a partially downloaded one.
I have a lot of dietary restrictions to make it better. A bit of constipation is actually a huge improvement for me as ive been to the ER multiple times because i was emptying my entire digestive tract and literally passing out from the pain. I have some significant intolerance's too like gluten(could be Oligosaccharides idk), and eggs which restrict me a lot in what i can have. FODMAP is a bit complicated because its like a grouping of different things and some of them i have no problem with, or are actually beneficial while others do mess me up. Like Sugar Alcohols like Xylitol actually help i have a really expensive gum thats pure xylitol and it helps to keep my digestion normal. Altho too much can be a problem. Its really complicated and weird. Like one thing ive figured out recently is if i take NSAIDs for a couple days it triggers a really bad episode. So i try to avoid them in general now but if i had to i just would not use them for too long.
Its very unlikely the world "ends" imo. Much more likely we see a massive depopulation event and lose 80% or so of our population. As long as there are places that preserve our knowledge tho we will recover eventually.
They already have an emo bisexual boy now all they need is a weirdly calm and super powered gay boy to complete the process! We need to go to DEFCON 1!
