You're probably not the first person to ask the question of "but what about parents taking pictures of their naked kids in a pool", I'm sure they plan on having some way of dealing with it if anything to lighten their wo

If anyone's read the full proposal, does it specify what types of communication they want to monitor? It seems unlikely that providers like Google and Meta are just going to turn off their E2E encryption and let the EU plug in their ca

#2 and #3.1 are quite specific to the US, afaik those don't really apply here in Europe. So it would be interesting to see a similar study done over here or indeed any other part of the world. #1 - don't have a say in this as a pa

2CB is a very easy one in low doses. Lots of laughter and grinning and mild enhancement of colours.

In which of the two books did you read this and do you happen to remember what the drug was? There were some other gems like (if I'm not mistaken) someone's heart stopping after a massive hit of something exotic. I want to say DMT

It's probably safe to say a multitude of Western countries are passing all kinds of information to Ukraine through various back channels. As long as it's all plausibly deniable. With operations in the Middle East now basically &qu

What do you think it is about Belgium (a small country but by no means homogenous) that makes it more carcinogous than Italy? In the 40 years that I've lived here I've only know one or two cases of young people getting cancer. Som
