My mom says I’m very important … so I’ll assume this was a state actor

But yeah, this is most likely. I changed my settings to lock faster with a longer pin

Yeah. Definitely setting that up now haha. They used my phone to call my contacts, so I don’t have their number

Yeah, but the calls were from my phone, so I think they would have to open it

Yeah. They were accessed while the phone was lost

Graphene has and emergency dialer, but you can’t call my contacts from it.

Fingerprint and pin code. They left the phone at a store nearby and I went to pick it up

Yeah. It was clearly good will. Even the banking, they probably didn’t realize the app was banking (foreign bank). Signal was Molly, so they honestly were personally confused since I run KISS Launcher.

The problem is that they used my phone to call my contacts.

I got ads for sexual assault therapy after I talked to my friend about my assault. I was livid. The audacity to try to make money off assault victims.

Use OnlyKey for master passwords

So look at the drug war, war on terrorism, money laundering sanctions, international tax evasion measures. The US and EU basically force the world to comply.

Imagine the EU and US are fully on board and say Australia decides no. What would happen to the Australian economy if they suddenly were barred from trading the dollar and euro. Australia is a big country and would be on the US/EU side. Imagine if Mexico or Croatia tried that. No chance.

Extreme? We did that to Russia during the Ukraine invasion.

This isn’t difficult. They just don’t care enough.

Simple physics demands that this use less energy.

E = mv^2/2.

Say cars are 10x the weight and drive 2x the speed of an electric bike. That’s 40x energy.

Additionally, bikes are more likely to have less erratic go/stop behavior, so even more efficient. For example, I’m much more careful to coast on a bike than a car because it’s my energy.

Why? This is a perfect opportunity to burn more of the forest without worrying about rain!

We will soon succeed in the extermination of one of the most destructive and violent species to exist on earth!

Advocates, largely driven by tribal activists along the Klamath River, have been pushing for these dams to be decommissioned for more than 20 years

I hope they are actively involved. Growing up, I was repeatedly taught how American indigenous people were much better with nature than we were. Then I was taught how we actively ignore their advice. Maybe it’s time to listen.

If they didn’t sell us back our water, what would we do?! Install pipes and do it cheaper without plastic?!?

But the suburbian dream

Sadly, big companies truly do not care. I was part of a net-zero project at my company (major polluter/CO2 emitter) and it is getting cut right now. I joined in hopes of helping fix it, but I simply can’t fight endless bureaucracy and rich people.

I can only speak for my project, but it’s not even just the CEO/board in my case. Mid-levels burned so much money that the project became completely infeasible (ie. negative return and scaling would make it worse).

It’s almost like people could just drink from cups…

Please don’t hurt me. I know it’s radical.

This I can get behind. It seems fallacious to believe that my choices don’t contribute to global warming, but equally wrong to believe that companies haven’t forced my hand.

This reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy, which I hadn’t considered before. This is an example when a major company absolutely forced me to make bad environmental decisions. Public transport was literally destroyed, forcing more cars on the road.

A while ago, I did a rough calculation that we could create floating islands from tying plastic bottles together. My calculation accounted for enough dirt for trees (several meters of dirt) and enough land to grow vegetables and such.

Accounting for food and housing needs, it was like 10k people from Europe’s plastic bottle waste for a year.

Personally, I think something like Netherlands dikes would work in many places.

Not sure how to deal with the heat though. Unfortunately heat is thermodynamically useless without a sink. Space is a bad sink. Deep ocean maybe.
