moth

worse than not knowing if the person stalking you is waiting outside your window for you to fall asleep, so that they can come inside and rape and kill you? they aren’t just made aware of the stalker being near, the police and probation officer are as well so that they can contact the victim and assist.

in the US, the cops would dismiss the victim and let her be murdered.

no, that treaty only covered nuclear weapons. it’s a poorly kept secret that the US, Russia, and China all have weaponized satellites, the US is just the first to admit to it. there was even a proposal around the turn of the century to put 20ft tungsten rods on satellites for precision kinetic strikes, since that wouldn’t violate the treaty. they called them “rods from god”. I’m guessing that since we know about it, they didn’t actually do it. probably because of the logistics of getting such heavy projectiles into orbit.

we also know of weapons tests that Russia has done for anti-satelite space-based platforms. presumably they are capable of shooting down NATO communication and GPS satellites if a war ever breaks out.

this is the intended purpose of the AUR. it was never promised to be high quality or secure code, which is why there are warnings against using it if that is your concern. moth wonders why you complain about something you were told you must accept when using the AUR.

less people smoke and drink. drug use also peaked in the 90s, and has been steadily declining since.

if moth sees someone stealing, no moth did not

don’t snipe at people 'cause they understand society better than you do. that’s exactly why you should be taking notes instead of talking back.
