It really comes down to decision making skills. True, adults still struggle with that.

But the younger they are the worse that ability is.

“Blamed Ukraine.” Ok so now we know it was a political assassination by the Kremlin.

With that out of the way, I get this feeling that typically it’s a bad idea to kill your military leaders. I don’t know how the military works in Russia, but given that an oligarch was able to march his PMC to Moscow with no opposition makes me wonder if the Kremlin has any capacity for reasoning over reaction.

Oh come on. I just want something, anything, that could be plausible being the context for whatever they do next.

Fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction?

That’s going to cause a lot of hospitals to close because they can’t maintain the security requirements to house it.

But that’s the point. Close hospitals, more people die.

Ok, what? When you were 20, how many 14 year olds did you interact with?

I can count exactly 1. It was my (ex) sister in law.

Americans aren’t anti-intellectual. We have a VERY high percentage that ARE.

The fascist portion of politics is staunchly anti-intellectual, but most of their supporters wouldn’t know what it looks like.

That’s… Wait. That’s the whole premise of all the games dammit.

Yeah, anyone seeing this as Putin doing jackshit is kidding themselves.

This is about having the US attack Europe. Or maybe just Ukraine. Who knows.

It doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the US is compromised, and Europe needs to be ready for that yesterday.

Not fully, but we know it requires a minimum amount of activity in the brains of vertabrates, and at least observable in some large invertebrates.

I’m vastly oversimplifying and I’m not an expert, but essentially all consciousness is, is an automatic processing state of all present stimulation in a creatures environment that allows it to react to new information in a probably survivable way, and allow it to react to it in the future with minor changes in the environment. Hence why you can scare an animal away from food while a threat is present, but you can’t scare away an insect.

It appears that the frequency of activity is related to the amount of information processed and held in memory. At a certain threshold of activity, most unfiltered stimulus is retained to form what we would call consciousness - in the form of maintaining sensory awareness and at least in humans, thought awareness. Below that threshold both short term and long term memory are impaired, and no response to stimulation occurs. Basic autonomic function is maintained, but severely impacted.

Agents have debated that the new phenomenon may or may not constitute a new designation. While some have reported the painting following them, the same agents will then later report nothing seems to occur. The agents who report a higher frequency of the painting following them also report a higher frequency of unexplained injury. The injuries can be attributed to cases of self harm, leading scientists to believe these SCP agents were predisposed to mental illness that was not caught during new agent screening.

Idk. Sometimes I wonder if psychosis is preferable to reality.

Looks like I found the motivation to finish assembling my CORE 1

What? God this whole damn thread is straight over my head

Well

I guess I’m gonna be that guy at Thanksgiving

Edit: I have no idea what that is, but it doesn’t do what I was thinking

And I just get shame for no sex at all.

Fuck this timeline. I’m out y’all.

You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

Mexico waffled nothing. They removed the signs. The statement of believe or not isnt consequential.

Rocks can’t think.

We made talking rocks. That’s worse.

You might be reading too much into that. The article stated Mexico’s naval personnel removed them as the personnel acted on the information they had. I would highly doubt they were going to go to great lengths to confirm the exact coordinates of the boarder.

Do I think that’s what the Americans were trying to do? Yes. But Mexico didn’t waffle it.

Software Engineer here: computers were a mistake.
