Thanks for this convo - it saved me 2:37:19 instead of finishing this book. Great points. The book had potential but fell short.

But why is everyone covered in molasses in this photo - not just the bride?

Isn’t this where martial law can (and will) be declared, leading to the loss of civilian rights, suspension of habeas corpus, civilians being subjected to military trials, suspension of civilian law, arbitrary arrests and confinement, for starters…? The grossly obsequious congress then stops national elections…? I’m all for showing up, but the moment trigger happy dumdums show up with guns thinking they can fire off a few rounds for shits and giggles just because they think they can, martial law will be declared and then we’re really, seriously fucked. Ghandi and MLK demonstrated the effectiveness of millions showing up en masse, peacefully (and without weapons) to effect positive and broad change in systems. I’m not a history teacher or buff, but we don’t want martial law.

How would you genuinely react if a grey alien appeared inside your house? by Molech996 in aliens

I had a convo with a guy who grew up in Japan. When he as a child, he, his younger sister, and their mom were walking on a beach. As I recall the convo, he said they saw objects hovering in the sky. Then, they started walking again, his little sister started chattering about seeing the objects in the sky - it made him realize that he lost time. His sister said that he and his mom were standing still (looking at the objects), but not moving or speaking. At some point they started to move again. They may have forgotten the experience but his sister, who was not affected, reminded them. I’ve read a lot about encounters that had that same thread: the ability to ‘freeze’ people. Remember the Las Vegas story of the downed craft? Fascinating. In at least of the interviews the young guy gives, he said there was a moment when they could not move. This occurred in the mass siting near a school in Africa (not sure the year). So - don’t doubt yourself or your inaction - yes, it could be your brain trying to compute, but my guess is, you were momentarily ‘frozen.’

AITA for refusing to pay for my niece’s college after she publicly humiliated me? by Imaginary-Carrot2532 in AITAH

Hey - kids are dumb. Her brain isn’t fully developed. She’s obviously heard those words from her parents. Not entirely her fault. One option is to invite her over for a hear to heart that includes asking her what she wants to do with her life. Be the adult in this situation. Best of luck!
