There is an experiment in Russia that has been breeding foxes for over 50 years now. The goal is to understand how domestication changes an the physiology of an animal. They breed the foxes that show the most tame and docile behaviors towards humans in an effort to recreate the process of changing wolves to dogs.

On the flip side, they also breed the foxes that are most aggressive and hostile towards people. One day they will get too powerful and get loose...

While I'm not an expert in this area, it is also possible their cyber campaigns specifically target improperly defended industries. Attacking a target is much easier than defending one, that is true in every field and most industries don't take their cyber security very seriously. A cyber attack that is funded and sponsored by a large state like Russia is sure to find many victims. Most industries are easy targets because they have thousands of people who are not trained in to defend against even the most basic of cyber attacks.

And of course only the successful attacks make the news, the unsuccessful one are never reported.

This is a pretty interesting video that shows how using leaked personal data like emails and passwords can be used to track down a specific person even when they're trying to hide themselves online.

Political anarchy is not inherently against rules. Anarchy does not mean that everything is on fire and everyone steals from others and do whatever they want, that's just a common misconception.

Also it's only 3 pretty basic rules, nothing particularly crazy about them

How long could you expect the color to hold? I'm assuming it fades over time?

Ah well it would appear I should have read the original comment with a little more attention

Also many of these "vigilantes" are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. This is a popular subgenre of hate-porn on YouTube that gets a lot of attention. I wouldn't trust anyone who does this for clout and attention to put in the work that is needed to ensure that they get the right person since you can just about fake any evidence on a YouTube video. This is the equivalent of giving a homeless person thousands of dollars and putting it on YouTube for views.

I never played Majora's mask but damn do I love his character design. He's probably one of the most iconic Zelda characters and he only appears in one game, that's how cool he his

One of my favorite questions to answer; what's the difference between a country, a state, and a nation. All 3 terms are used interchangeably but actually do have very specific meanings.

A country is the geographical region that includes the territories and borders of a state or nation.

A state is the governing body that operates and exerts administrative control over a territory or nation.

A nation is much more complicated and not as clear cut but in essence is the people who occupy a country or state. The bonds that create a nation can be different depending on who you ask and be a global world spanning bond like a religion or language or something small scale and local, like a sports team or a neighborhood block.

Hope that helps

Right, like the main character, who is a scientist, is just playing a videogame most of the time. And he literally sees a countdown timer that no one else sees but the urgency to save himself just doesn't exist for some reason.
