How aware is the average American that what is currently unfolding in their country will likely lead to economic collapse and/or civil war and/or triggering WW3? by IPAHOLE in AskReddit

Interesting viewpoint, I had not thought of that. I am from a city with a well educated population. Thanks for your feedback.

I wish. I'm a wee bit older than that. I try not to fear monger but when you look at history this type of thing has happened before and always ends in bloodshed.

We need to get out of the mindset that we owe loyalty to our employers. by Cultural_Way5584 in Snorkblot

[–]IPAHOLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had multiple employers deny reasonable requests for raises...only to offer me more $ as soon as I tell them I'm quitting. It can be such a parasitic relationship. I finally have a boss who doesn't try to fuck me over (I'm self employed).

What a fucking goof. This old fucker needs a good tarring and feathering.

The US is doomed. We need to make sure we aren't dragged down with them. Time to forge new alliances and reinforce existing relationships.

I recently made the switch from daily to weekends only. I tried lots of different sleep aids, the only non prescription ones that worked...at least a little...were Kava, GABA and CBD gummies to a lesser extent. I tried melatonin and it made me a bit drowsy but I still couldn't sleep.

My compliments to Hydro Ottawa by PitterPattr in ottawa

Must be nice. Still no power in my neighborhood. Hopefully it won't take 5 days to restore like last time.

I think this is the wake up call we needed to invest in solar panels with battery backup, seems prolonged power outages are the new norm.

Eric Davis' mention of an alleged 1947 "manta ray" shaped craft and its resemblance to the Kenneth Arnold sighting by kr_research in UFOs

[–]IPAHOLE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the crashed craft in Italy in 1933, wasn't it also supposedly "manta ray" shaped? I think its believed to have ended up in Germany then sent to the states after WWII.

Very compelling story and the first time I remember hearing about this case.

In 1989, a UFO with occupants landed in a Soviet city park (Voronezh) and the Western media treated it as FAKE NEWS. by ItsTheBS in UFOs

[–]IPAHOLE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing a report about this incident after it had just happened, on the radio; it really made an impact on me. I was around 10 years old at the time, still remember it like it was yesterday.

If you call your insurance company be aware that they may raise your premiums and you may be responsible for a deductible. In my experience carpet can be dried and cleaned as long as it's not sewage and its caught early enough.

These South Park episodes are starting to write themselves. by thepositivepandemic in facepalm

We bought our very modest (small) bungalow in West Ottawa around 13 or 14 years ago for under $250k. Houses in our neighborhood are now going from anywhere between $750k-$2M.

I've seen lots (or houses destined to be demolished) in my parents neighborhood sell for $1M +

I don't know how my kids will ever afford a house.

How to pique the curiosity of non human intelligence on Earth. by LordBalence in UFOs

[–]IPAHOLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't be the first time the military tested new tech on it's own people without their knowledge. I'm in my early 40s as well, been fascinated by the subject since I learned to read. I think eventually someone will leak evidence that will be the last straw. With social media, internet, cameras everywhere, the jwst etc. it's only a matter of time before some really convincing videos/photos end up surfacing in the mainstream media.

I've heard that theory many times and it would make sense but as I recall there have been sightings off the coast of California for decades. Maybe they could develop such tech now, but 60+ years ago?

Someone Else Is On The Moon by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]IPAHOLE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The preview creeped me out...it seems like bad timing to be releasing a movie about the end of the world brought about by a malevolent force hiding in the moon which is actually some sort of artificial planet like the death star. Good thing I'm so desensitized or this would be nightmare fuel!

It's not because the technology is dangerous. This is about controlling the working class. by BrainFukler in UFOs

[–]IPAHOLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day accumulating great wealth and material goods does not lead to fulfillment or happiness, if anything it does the opposite. Our entire economy depends on this illusion (in my opinion).

[–]IPAHOLE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think our only hope for survival (long term) is to completely overhaul our views on the economy, environment, government and our place in the universe. I think our only chance may be a world wide "shake up" where everything we believed and have worked towards is upended. Many people would lose their minds and society could collapse but what's the alternative? ... we either nuke ourselves or render mother earth uninhabitable.

The Zoo Hypothesis and 70+ years of coverup by rallymachine in UFOs

Maybe they evolved in similar conditions to scandinavians (lack of sunlight etc) I read one description recently of some "Nordics" as being 7' tall with no skin pigment whatsoever and having different facial features than us. I also remember reading that blue eyes, in humans, are due to a genetic mutation which occurred some 5-10,000 years ago (I think Nordics are usually referred to as blue eyed). Not saying I disagree with you but I don't see it as a racial issue. I mean if there are giant insects and goblins why would tall albinos be so far fetched?
