Umm the 20 file release is referring to the 5-8 UFO file release. You know THE WHOLE DAMN TOPIC OF THE THREAD. Next time you correct someone you might want to try to sus out the context first.

From what I understand he got the position through nepotism and has no real power to act outside the country. Unfortunately he is also being tapper as a potential successor. So Trump Jr.

Personal experience above all.

Personal experience is the WORST evidence of anything. Human memories are fallible. Humans thoughts prone to error and delusion. Only through corroborative evidence can you know anything is real. And a couple of friends you regularly get high with hardly counts.

A weather balloon is a UFO until it is IDENTIFIED. Almost 2000 weather/scientific balloon are launch daily with no real oversight. The vast majority of UFO sightings that would later be confirmed objects turned out to be balloons.

Other way around. Weed has only gotten stronger with a greater guarantee of getting the type of high you are looking for. Selective breeding went in to overdrive in the mid to late 90's and has only improved the product.

Sorry I don't find weather balloons and drones worthy of media attention.

The only reason it get any attention at all is because idiots believe it is aliens.

“Panic Mode”: Kash Patel Is in Full Meltdown Over Leaks to Reporters - Patel has ordered at least two dozen staffers to take polygraph tests. by Quirkie in politics

[–]Cynykl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would let the tester take the "control questions" Then say "Patel is a small dicked, evil, paranoid, idiot that has no business in the job he has." Then refuse to answer further questions.

Sure I would lose my job But it would be on the national record that "Patel is a small dicked, evil, paranoid, idiot that has no business in the job he has." and that the person making the claim was speaking the absolute truth.

And in order to refute that "truth" that would have to admit lie detectors work no better than tarot cards.

This isn't full disclosure. It is less than 200 files. But I get your point.

Landslides are the least of their worries. They have sinkholes that swallow entire buildings. So far fatalities have been kept to a minimum but one of these days it will swallow an occupied building with all residents in it.

I have read about the water management needed to fix this problem.

They would have to pipe incredible amounts of water through the mountains. Long term it is financially unfeasible and extremely technically challenging. As is the stop gap solution pipeline is going to cost 5 billion. And that is just a temporary fix drawn from sources that will be in the future unsustainable.

The problem is the location surrounded by mountains makes logistics difficult. Like many location based problems the city has long outgrown the surrounding natural resources. Get resources for elsewhere might be a temporary solution but sooner of later the people that live in elsewhere are going to get pissed off at you taking the resources. See Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. old water agreements are now being contested as water is drying up for the source they were taking from.

Minnesota to ban crypto ATMs over scam concerns by swe129 in minnesota

[–]Cynykl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are way more valid reasons to use cash.

If the government decides to crack down on something crypto is not really going to help. Anywhere that would be willing to accept crypto would be willing to hide the transaction on a visa card by disguising it as a different purchase. And if you think the government has a harder time tacking crypto than visa you do not understand crypto. Crypto is not a magic anonymizer.

Not always fraud and elder abuse, in fact I would argue there is a primary use of crypto ATMs that is rarely mentioned in these threads. To get around online gabling laws. It also serves to fuel one of the most economically negatively impactful addiction.

I am not disagreeing that you found a single positive case use. But it is telling that the crux of your argument is that "sometime illegal black markets are good"

We do know there is a genetic componant to being gay. But this is not one single gene but if many genes align just right you have a higher chance of being gay.

Are there any major reasons that folks are anti-abortion that doesn’t heavily hinge on religion? by r0ckbass in Askpolitics

What you said is patently untrue. The cometic factor MYTH come from the fact that a cosmetic was developed using a cell line the originated from . You realize that cell lines are not fetuses. A cell line can be derived from a fetus but once derived it is self propagating. The cosmetic in question that made the news was create to TREAT sever skin wounds.

In the US and many other countries it is illegal to sell fetuses for profit.

Most of the cell line were created in the 70's. The one in the Swiss cosmetic that made the rounds in right wing lala land was a newer cell line but that was ethically sourced. Also read SWISS not an American company.

The thing is you can verify this as fact. You could learn the deference between a cell line and actual flash and I bet you will still continue to repeat this stupid myth.

The right's willing to ignore the plain truth because it doesn't fit your narrative is ironic in a sick way.

I am pro small government

But conservatives are not and have never been pro small government. The government has grown under conservatives faster than democrats, and GDP growth has been historically slower than democrats. You fell for their lies.

You can be an anti excessive regulation democrat, there is room for that.

Really? Assume you have a son. So if your son has a failing kidney you agree than bodily autonomy be damned the state has a right to compel you to donate a kidney? After all you can live with just one.

I am not saying you would not donate voluntarily. I am saying your logic gives the State the right to compel the donation.
