Oh my god that sounds absolutely horrific.
It's worse because the offender was politically connected and there was nothing I could do about the situation at the time i regained recollection. The offender also had large resources to pay ex spooks to keep the situation normal (for him), and digging up dirt on me and my family.

More info please. What happened?
someone tried to kill me for exposing them raping my girlfriend and the doctors used experimental oxygenated blood to save my life. I got really drunk the night i was assaulted because of a related incident. During the incident with my gf, her ex and i were trying to locate her after a party (we were in another dorm and she called us on a cell, not hers) and she recollected she didn't know where she was, she was naked, and that some males were holding her close not letting her go. They would only give her clothes after a sexual act was performed. We tried locating her but we were too late. Afterword, I and the girlfriends ex tried pulling the call 'metadata' but it was deleted or i was not allowed to access it.
I have a higher likelihood of suffering a stroke in my 30s due to the fake blood injections.
My roommate was paid to keep watch while the offender tried to suffocate me. While transported to the hospital i lost consciousness for a long time. The hospital pretended like they had consent to inject me with the fake blood. The hospital covered up the rohypnol in my system. The nurse there assumed i tried to slip a gril a roofied drink and failed. The college buried the report, blaming it all on me. My parents were shamed. My girlfriend ended up dating the offender for 2 years due to violent threats on family. The offender got away with sexual assault against me (buck breaking). The offender stuck his dick up my ass so I wouldn't tell anyone of the event (i am male and it almost worked). The only reason I survived is that I pretended to die (thanks burn notice) only for the offender to realize he didn't want to kill anyone. I had a brown-out of the events for about 1.5 weeks after. This will be my greatest shame for the rest of my life not trying harder to prosecute the incident.

Medically there are policies in various countries that differ on the term 'dead' or 'clinically dead'. Various places have different standards of dead.
This has a huge effect on organ donation rates. For my medical emergency thank god I live in the US or my organs would have been donated already.
some places may have a policy for either 'respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest after x period' to be considered clinically dead. If I had been in one of those countries my organs would be in many different people's bodies.
I thank god every day that I was born in the US.
> 1. women very rarely make false claims of sexual assault, so we should believe their claims
This is a big fundamental mistake. Women are just as capable as men of lying.
The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" was established over centuries of very hard won experience of why this imperfect principle works better than all the others that have been tried.
How sad that the left of 2019 has forgotten this history and now needs to relearn it.
Politicizing domestic/civil legal issues is historically a failure and has huge blowback.

SmokeGS commented on US demands social media details from visa applicants bbc.com/news/world-us-can... · Posted by u/bkudria
I travelled to the US recently for the first time in 20 years or so. I had to apply for a Visa waiver (ESTA) and from memory they had a social media section that was flagged as "optional". I'm not big on social media and decided that my rarely used accounts would be of no use or interest to anyone. If I remember correctly though I did put my Github account on there (unless my memory is playing vicious tricks on me, yes Github was listed). Call me crazy but I decided that if the US government was interested in my C++ chess code, great!
I did gird my loins for a horribly unwelcoming experience at the airport (semi off topic but widely discussed here). At JFK it was actually super nice, but we were first off the plane and there was no queue to hit. We did take a side trip to Canada and had to enter the US again at O'Hare and that was a different story entirely. Seemingly a million planes arriving at once. Even miserable looking and bemused cabin crew queuing from here to eternity. When we finally got to the head of the queue(s) the over-worked, under manned staff were perfunctory but non unpleasant. I haven't seen anything as disorganised and shambolic in arrivals at a European airport ever, but maybe I've just been lucky.
oh fuck, that's so true. O'hare is almost murder on non-us citizens if that is their airport of entry.
Can't use my Nest lock to let guests into my house. I'm pretty sure their infrastructure is hosted in Google Cloud. So yeah... definitely some stuff lost.
holy shit lmao. I'm sorry that sucks.
I suspect the real business is done slightly in advance, if anything.
I believe you're correct
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (but disclaimer, I'm on vacation and so not much use to you!).
We're having what appears to be a serious networking outage. It's disrupting everything, including unfortunately the tooling we usually use to communicate across the company about outages.
There are backup plans, of course, but I wanted to at least come here to say: you're not crazy, nothing is lost (to those concerns downthread), but there is serious packet loss at the least. You'll have to wait for someone actually involved in the incident to say more.
>nothing is lost
except time
