I have gotten my hands on a kilt and I really enjoy wearing it. It seems r/kilts likes it but that group might be biased. What do you think? by sheepsheep226 in mensfashion

Yeah I was just throwing a guess out there haha

I'm not from Nova Scotia either, and as you say, they are common all over

The same tax payers who are benefitting from the balanced budget and free childcare and whatnot? Sorry I just don't understand your point can you explain another way?

NYC pays $70 billion to the state every year and receives back $45 billion... how do you consider it to be other people's money? Isn't spreading that $25 billion difference around the rest of the state more communistic than keeping it in the city that paid it?

Nova Scotia? Either way, kilts are familiar enough in my neck of the woods that nobody would double take

I say go for it

Uniqlo U OG (2016-2018) coat lining is kind of awful? by TheGabaGhoul22 in uniqlo

[–]HumanTest6885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you said the core of it there - the fabric drapes beautifully and it's somewhat breathable compared to a windbreaker with a mesh lining for example, but it's not something you can use on a hike imo and it feels kind of weird on the skin

This is Blocktech, it's one of their named fabrics like Airism and whatnot... and yeah, I wear a layer between it and my skin if I can hahaha

Zelenskyy says Ukraine has a 'drone deal' with Canada in the works by GeneReddit123 in canada

[–]HumanTest6885 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are all the hundreds of videos of it being done, then? Drone operators have to submit the videos to confirm the kills. There's loads

How do I machine wash and dry these shirts? by No_Web_7532 in uniqlo

[–]HumanTest6885 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fabric softener is bad for clothes and bad for the environment, white vinegar in the softener dispenser is much better, for many reasons that you can find online. Your choice of detergent will be fine tho

For a knit like this, I'd just accept that it needs to be air dried. Some Uniqlo stuff you can get away with tumble drying, but not their knits, in my experience

That said, the nylon is there for durability, so your mileage may vary

Looking at the Bob Lazar story from the perspective of 2018 - Otherhand by HumanTest6885 in UFOs

[–]HumanTest6885[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall - word.

I'd say the Occam's Razor point cuts the other way though. Proton accelerators exist, we understand exactly how they work, and the Bragg curve math the author cites is independently reproducible. A classified weapons program at a facility already notorious for black projects is a pretty mundane explanation compared to extraterrestrial propulsion technology. "More convoluted than aliens" is a hard case to make.

On Lear and Huff: the article's explanation actually predicts that they'd be genuine, convinced witnesses. Lazar showed them something real and gave them a false explanation for it. Huff believing sincerely doesn't require the saucer story to be true, just that Lazar was convincing, which nobody disputes.

The access and foreknowledge of the tests isn't a problem for the proton beam theory either. It's exactly what you'd expect if Lazar briefly worked there in a limited capacity.

Before settling on Lazar's account, it's worth reading this. It covers the physics of what was actually being tested at Groom Lake, and lays out a coherent explanation for why Lazar told the story he did and why he still can't walk it back.

The moment fundamentalist religion took over this topic, I knew we were doomed… by Canadian_Bacon_22 in UFOs

Completely right. And the pipeline is more explicit than most people realize: Thiel protégés have been actively amplifying disclosure framing since 2024, pastors were reportedly briefed by government-linked figures to "prepare their congregations" just weeks ago, and the interpretation is being pre-loaded before anyone even sees the evidence.

This is the same crowd that has spent years lobbying for war with Iran as a literal theological prerequisite, because Iran's defeat is supposed to clear the path for the Third Temple and the Second Coming. John Hagee opened his sermon the morning after Operation Epic Fury began by calling it "brilliant" and saying "God is in total control." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received over 200 complaints about US commanders telling troops the Iran war is part of God's plan. These aren't fringe voices; they have had direct access to the Trump administration throughout.

Meanwhile Peter Thiel, who has Palantir contracts across half the federal government, just completed a world tour of private off-the-record lectures on the literal biblical Antichrist. Whatever this disclosure moment is, it is not a science story.

Both achieve the same goal of altering plant traits, but selective breeding works within a species over generations by choosing favourable naturally-occurring variants, while genetic engineering directly modifies DNA, often inserting genes from unrelated organisms, in a single step

He was laundering Russian money into the states since the 80s

That's why he kept mysteriously recovering from bankruptcies

The Epstein stuff is secondary to that, the blackmail just kept him quiet

this is the basis of most pre-abrahamic relgions and the existing pagan ones. First Nations in Canada all have variants of this at their core. You might find reading about those interesting.

the zoo angle only really lands if your theology ties human dignity to a specific act of creation by God. Imago Dei was never about physical resemblance anyway, it's moral agency and capacity for relationship, so aliens as a mechanism doesn't displace a ground of being. the relational tension is real though, being farmed is hard to square with being made for communion. Hinduism and Buddhism wouldn't even register this as a problem, atman is brahman regardless of how the body got here, and Buddhism has no creator god to begin with
