Maybe one extra world: They lied maliciously.

Also, they did so repeatedly, over a very long time and while it must have been fully apparent with insider knowledge that this setup cannot work.

Than you live in a better place than me. Well done to you and your community :)

are almost ~~certainly being donated to homeless shelters~~ being thrown away and people who are taking some are persecuted... and hog farmers

fixed that for you :)

Yep :)

We have suffered for millions of years under mosquitos are they are likely the biggest killer of humans in history. Maybe us evolving big brains and developing genetic engineering is an evolutionary necessity?

Or as Harbinger said: “We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.”

Well, this was a life-changing comment.

The more technology pervades society the more pronounced this will get. The sheer helplessness of people when faced with problems that seem trivial to some is scary. Especially when you see people losing final theses or critical work related data because they never learned about backups.

Add to that tech companies trying to hide the concept of a file system, and it seems like this is by design to sell more shit.

Cut to the Battle of the Morannon, but it's not an army of Gondor but just an endless stream of Agent Smiths bumrushing the Orcs with Kung Fu.

Academic writing can be used as a smoke screen to mask bullshit, or to express ideas concisely. But this can happen in all communication.

Another important function is that communicating in this style shows you know "how thingsa re done". It functions as an implicit screening for wierdos, but comes at the expense of keeping people wit hgood ideas but an unadapted writing style out of the field.

If they can plant explosives they can 100% tap into the circuit or maybe reprogram the board. The CIA is known to be able to do this to specific devices by plucking them from the mail. Mossad could likely do their own production run and ship that to Hezbollah.

There are videos capturing lots of explosions going off simulataneously. Since pagers already can recieve messages and these devices were deeply infiltrated, they likely added a special trigger message to set them off. THis could also allow other scenarios, like only setting off one (for whatever reason).

Society has to acknowledge that half of its members are of below average intelligence. And we need a way to handle the lowest tenth, since they are a danger to themselves and others.
