I live in Idaho, and the comments here are as ignorant as ever.

If you are trans/different/nonconservative in any way, let me say this very, very clearly:

THEY WANT YOU DEAD.

Not in prison, not a slave, not a member of society at all.

They want you DEAD.

Stop pussyfooting around this. Passing laws like this is merely a step towards their true goals. I am not being melodramatic, I cannot ring the warning bell hard enough after the conversations I have had with conservatives here. They are doing everything they can to slow-burn us into massacring our own people and even WANTING to think the best of these bad-faith psychos is bad FOR US ALL including THEM. They are essentially children that have been taught that having any moral code is weakness and that lying and cheating is strength. They do NOT have positive intentions and they ARE thinking about the long game. You will not convince them of anything using just words and arguments, not unless you find a way to put a LOT of money in their pockets, and you would have to first convince them that Trump didn’t already do exactly that.

Great shot! Is it me, or does it have an expression reminiscent of Chicken of Chickenthoughts?

Looks like a wasp pretending to be a fly, really. Might just be the Beedrill shape it kind of has.

Knowing the internet, I’ll get hate for this, but I did not care for the Orville. I’m a big fan of wonderment and adventure in Star Trek, with a healthy dose of exploration and philosophical consideration. In my experience, Orville spent all of its time on trying to be Star Trek: The Snark Generation and trying to make Seth MacFarlane look like a cool space captain. I think around the third or fourth time MacFarlane had said something incredibly offensive to the person he was meant to be diplomatically engaging with, but since he said it in his quick Family Guy aside voice it was apparently okay, that I got pretty tired of the show. It was way too much of a badly written ego trip for MacFarlane and not nearly enough science fiction fun. I was left feeling like the Orville was what would happen if Brian from Family Guy tried to write Star Trek, that it was more of mockery of science fiction than a positive addition, and I never went back.

In my further opinion, Lower Decks, meanwhile, is knocking it out of the park. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Strange Worlds as well, though I haven’t had opportunity to check it out yet.

For a moment, I thought this was a cryptid instance and briefly wondered what level of crazy believes that Bigfoot will put you in the ground if you don’t believe in him.

This one was definitely a LARP, most likely by the user Punjabi_Batman. Punjabi_Batman was unknown before and has been otherwise posting more and more hoaxes on the subreddit ever since. He is definitely an intentional hoaxer.

The 4chan UAP larper.

A fun read, even if it’s as substantial as smoke. The writer does his best to connect the dots of all the recent UAP news and sightings that have been happening. Still, his posts helped drive a fair bit of the engagement surrounding current events.

Coulthart asked him specifically about Kirkpatrick’s statements that there is “no credible evidence” for any extraterrestrial technology.

I just rewatched the relevant clip from the Coulthart interview. Grusch stated that he knew Kirkpatrick for 8+ years, before AARO. He stated specifically that he informed Kirkpatrick in attempt to draw attention, and that Kirkpatrick never followed up with him. He goes on to say that Kirkpatrick could have done all the same investigations that he, Grusch, had, but chose not to for whatever reason.

So not AARO generally, but Kirkpatrick specifically is who Grusch referred to.

No way to migrate posts and comments, is there? It’d be a shame to lose the little spark that was already here.
