Hopefully this is like “squid game” “bumfights” with enough folks watching to make sure everything is on the up and up.

Good thinking laddie.

Preparation is key here. Given a heads up and prep time, I’d go for it full stop.

The rule of three (human male, optimum health)

3 min sans air before brain damage/death 3 hrs in hostile environments before body succumbing 3 days without water before severe damage/death 3 weeks without food before death

A million dollars will buy you the best anti psychotic drugs you can buy ( and the legal ones will be less)

Do it like Senku (Dr stone) and his multi processor brain. He calculated his entombment to the second for 3,500 years. True he’s a anime badass, but I could pull off 2 days using my internal clock. I hope.

If it was done at that moment, no. BUT if I KNEW that in advance, I’d could prep myself for that ( and even if I had doubts there’s a MILLION reasons to go thru with it) and some old school perseverance will win the day

Got one better… take this choad and Money Monster Jim Cramer, shove them in a industrial washing machine with a few dozen bowling balls and put it on ‘gentle cycle’. A few hours kissing Bakelite might give these two what they surely lack, empathy for the suffering of others

Hope he catches a flying mallet to his brainpan

I guess someone got uncomfortably close to him and told him in no uncertain words what would/could happen to him and no amount of €€€ would protect him if he didn’t cut it out

The only virus out here is the worms squirming around Elmo’s fat head. Treat your daughter like shiat, she’ll hate you for it. Don’t blame the world. Blame the image in the mirror

I’m reading this in Vin Diesel’s voice

There’s no going back from this. This was a state sponsored killing (well deserved) but now the masks have been ripped away. There will NEVER be any official relationship from any democratic government with Russia under it’s current leadership. Any business should look at the smoldering wreckage and think twice

All that means is that Wagner has infiltrated the Russian military… while pooty might get lucky and get a few knuckleheads, trust and believe the hardcore of the hardcore have gone to ground and are dead set on putting Vlad’s head on a pike

The ultimate translator. Being able to read and send data to a human brain directly bypassing external sensory organs… The creation of a Neural/cyber interface will be a double edged sword. While it means that a lot of data can be input directly into the brain, it will also mean data (memories) (possibly) can be read and/or manipulated… Nobel and Oppenheimer would have nothing on those who could pull this off.

Lock these guys up in a room and have them watch “the Road” “the last of us” for a few weeks and have them absorb the kind of world they are bringing about to pass. Better yet drop them off in a war zone and let them feel first hand what mob rule is like

You don’t have to catch all the rats, just make a ‘example’ of the ones you can catch. Ranchers spread the bones and skins of wolves and coyotes around their herds grazing areas to give pause any who would think they would get a meal scott free

There was a reason that in some conflicts you don’t let anyone walk away, cause embers buried deep can simmer for generations and pop out and burn you alive

Stochastic terror 101: feed intel to useful idiots, hoping to have them do your dirty work while pleading plausible deniability. The minute someone buys it from this nonsense the hammer needs to come down HARD.

You beat me to the music for Bebop Big O and hellsing. I would go back a decade or two and use “Blood on the Moon” from the “City Hunter” anime soundtrack (wicked smooth jazz instrumental which screams 80’s)
