Absolutely unnecessary to do to anyone, much less a 73 year old woman. Barbaric.
Some of her advisors this time around are literally on the board of "Friends of Socialist China" this time around, so expect China related freakouts in the coming months.
Interesting, I've always been of the belief that K doesn't have a ton of "real world" use cases beyond being a bit of fun. (Its therapeutic potential is likely done better by other substances subjectively) Never heard of it being used as a backup anesthesic.
Cops (and paramedics) should not have access to Ketamine. The last thing you want in a k hole is to be man handled. That shit will scar you for life if it doesn't kill you.
If you want to watch something really out there, give Angel's Egg a shot. It probably won't be the best thing you've ever seen, but you'll never forget it.
I'm not sure I that I want to replay the first's campaign again, but it would be nice to see what campaigns other people have come up with. I remember someone on here was running a tabletop campaign awhile back, but I don't know if it's still going.
I'm like 2 hours into Shadowrun: Hong Kong. I can't make heads or tails on it being good or not quite yet. It seems to have more Role playing elements out of the gate than Dragonfall, but I'm not liking the characters as much so far. Every character seems to be written as a wannabe tough guy thus far.
I have doubts about there being any.
I don't have the book checked out anymore, but once you get to the part about Ross ulbrecht, it's right around there. At bare minimum, you can force someone's identity. 0day exploits have also been given to the intelligence services first.
Signal is not secure, nor is Tor. Read "Surveillance Valley". That being said, you probably won't be visited by the cops over a buying a gram of something online.
I want to be hopeful about this, but Iraq tried doing something similar, and the US is still there.
I've been looking for a short version of "Surveillance Valley" to send to people, so thanks for this.
