Same here, check out this clip from him posting this same thing in other groups:

"I remember once, on the come down, my buddy had me hit his weed vape pen. I’d never mixed LSD and weed before. Fuck, I got lost in Shanghai for 5 hours trying to walk home."

This sounds like that kid in the 9th grade that wants everyone to think he's cool so he tells those crazy stories but all of the detail and terminology are just a little off.

Reply to Is nuclear war more likely after Russia’s suspension of the New START treaty? The nation has spurned a major arms-control agreement, pushing nuclear powers toward a worrying lack of regulation, says non-proliferation researcher. by filosoful

The following submission statement was provided by /u/filosoful:

The world has lurched a step closer to the prospect of nuclear war, say researchers, after Russia declared last month that it would suspend its participation in its last major nuclear-arms treaty with the United States.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement will formally end inspections under an agreement known as the New START treaty (Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms).

The inspection programme had allowed scientists on both sides to verify that the other was complying with the agreement. The move comes amid soaring tensions between Russia and the West over the war in Ukraine.

New START limits Russia and the United States to 1,550 strategic warheads each, but has been facing challenges for years. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a pause in weapons inspections, and they have not restarted since Russia invaded Ukraine last year.

US US government officials said in January that Russia was in violation of the treaty because it would not allow inspections to resume. However, Russia’s official suspension of the inspections is another blow to international efforts to control nuclear weapons, say experts, who worry that the world’s largest nuclear powers will not be subject to any arms-control obligations once New START expires in three years — or even sooner.

I don’t know what it’s like now with cameras pointing every direction and their social ranking system but while I was there we could be a group of underage kids and get into nightclubs. I’ve been so fucked up there that I was walking through the streets like a QWOP character and nothing happened.

I’m sure there are people they make an example out of sometimes.

Is it really that unbelievable? I mean, i don’t care what you believe. But this is pretty light in the whole range of what’s possible in the world. Think about it, people take drugs with friends, no matter who they work for. And what I shared isn’t conspiracy level shit, we all know the tech companies do this, and this is just the flavor of the month, which just so happens to come from China.

And wouldn’t it just be a little more fun to be less cynical?

Reply to comment by volci in A group of researchers has achieved a breakthrough in secure communications by developing an algorithm that conceals sensitive information so effectively that it is impossible to detect that anything has been hidden by thebelsnickle1991

Nail on the head here. Where is their evidence. Also "perfectly secure" isn't a thing and if it's undetectable then the tool you use to pull the data out of your image wouldn't see it to pull it out.

Also to break stego down a bit here is an example. Let's say I have a picture called Ducky.jpg that is exactly 100Mb in size. If I use traditional stego and hide a message in that image it will change it's size to let's say 101Mbs. Now, if this new technique makes it undetectable by also altering the size by removing blank space like compression does but I only the exact amount then we could get our file down to 100Mb. However, if you hashed both images, our nor all ducky.jpg and our ducky.jpg with our stego message inside, even tho they are the same size their hashes will be different.

What am I missing here fellow nerds?
