In a lost in the wilderness survival situation you probably want to scout the lay of the land from where you are, then follow the valleys to the nearest water source, or coast, as settlements are usually by the water.

Unfortunately the technology will also be used for creating new weapons of war.

I believe there’s somewhat of an internal rift between The Guardian UK and The Guardian US with the US publication being more progressive on Trans issues.

…of course people in the US still shouldn’t talk to Journalists, as plenty of right-wing organisations pretend to be journalists in order to produce “gotcha” content and misinformation.

I mean, Vietnam is a Socialist Oriented Market Economy.

86% of Vietnamese people own their own homes, 70% are farmers because the government will allocate farm land to anyone who proves they can raise crops.

I get the joke, but of course in reality we all know there’s no way in hell Sisko is going to ask Picard for advice.

The entire Western world has zero moral standing, and it’s very odd how they all support Israel. It seems Israel is the boss, and that raises a lot of questions.

I suspect we’re risking an increase in terror attacks in the west and should they reference Israel, leaders will really have no defence. What Israel is doing and has done has nothing to do with democracy. It’s nothing less than a repeat of the wars of colonialism, just in a modern settling, and supporting it casts Western progress away from its colonial history to being highly questionable.

The western world is losing it’s legitimacy by supporting Israel like this, and it makes so little overt sense.

God literally watches all his children have sex, stay away from him, dude’s a major creep.

“It’s okay to resist capitalism on an iPhone. The feudal lord who owned the pitchforks the peasants killed him with probably observed the irony too.” -Ben Stiller

This is wishful thinking. It was made within a heteronormative society, and most characters who have love interests and relationship histories are hence straight.

Unless stated or shown it’s far more of a head cannon to assume a queer identity where none is suggested.

No media can fully escape the culture, period, and context it was created in.

Japanese toilets are now beyond western comprehension.

Wikileaks isn’t a journalistic publication. They’re a private intelligence agency… And when you work in that arena you have to understand the limits and players very well…

…and yes, intelligence agencies plan and conduct kidnappings and all sorts of resolution to problems. In the west, they do so with the parameters of defined laws and norms. Elsewhere people aren’t so protected.

P.S If Assange wanted to work in the media, or even create his own media company… He really should have, and could have. But that’s not the industry he chose. He chose to work in intelligence.

He would have had a lot more chance if he didn’t help in US election meddling.

…if you’re going to try to run your own private intelligence agency, you’d better be pretty smart about it.
