And hopefully more research can prove it.ah, the typical 'should've kept on reading', my apologies. I wish them well, hope they get funding to spread it. And hopefully more research can prove it.

X08 LinkWhat is the special compound? Does it just appear when you apply electric current to our saliva? might as well chew on a battery :O ?As the bristles bend against your teeth, a special piezoelectric material inside them produces a mild electrical current. This current reacts with your saliva to create compounds that actively destroy bacterial cell membranes while you clean.

Alas, just Starcraft for now as a working title I guess.I thought it was going to be named Starcraft: Dominion, since they kept mentioning that in the trailer.

But that constant pressure to 'be of service to the economy'- is a tough cookie to crack for sure.
As far as my influence goes it's mostly just voting for left wing ideologies and hope for the best. I'm on the fence about becoming politically active or become part of an action group, taking matters into your own hands etc.
As for the rest of my days I spend them in online worlds where I can feel helpful to those without asking for a favor in return.
Giving is the greatest thing we can do in life. Pay it forward. To see people paying only themselves and selling others on the idea that only if they do as them will lead them to happiness is using money as a religion.

What irks me is that people so easily forego their rights for minor gains. Concretely, this means that I've slowly gained the inability to see the value in work at all. Most of us will gladly waste away hours for a meaningless company doing barely anything to better humanity, all under the guise of having to cover costs of living.
This to me is just another form of slavery. You not being paid what you are valued for is the premise and theory behind capitalism but I cannot see myself working for any company that doesn't align with anything that won't benefit humanity in the long run.
Selling electronics? They're all produced in China, convince me otherwise. Cheap furniture or interior? Hardly contributes to a livable, sustainable future.
We are blindly churning out so much CO2 so someone can have a slightly different experience. It's obscene.
So where do I draw the line? Fairly early on.

In both scenarios I feel they will decline, but one is swift (they need war to fuel their inner oppression) and the other is the one we've seen before where there are talks and money being poured into the country, demilitarization and then after a few years of a hopeful future they'll do a rug pull and blame SK for being untrustworthy again.

I'm curious as I'd be possibly interested in a solution that works for me. I'd be looking at devices (mainly a robot vacuum cleaner) that are able to operate without a mandatory internet connection that send over data to a datacenter to collect your information without your explicit knowledge (nearly everyone just clicks 'accept' when reading the ToS after purchase).

Slapping a 'Misinformation'-label onto something could be seen as a sign to skip whatever that person has to say.

People are undervalued for all the labor we put into things and it's been going the way of the slow boiling frog since the end of WW2. The concentration of wealth in the hands of the few is a crime against humanity and the exploitation that comes with is downright humiliating to everyone who defends it.
He's already jumped ship before he got the boot. Typical. Golden parachute and gets to live a life in luxury while having been dishonest to his wife who's been part of his whole career and walked into a honeypot situation and also happened to have the second affair.
