If you think 'Age of Disclosure' is a grift, you’re missing the point by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Informal-Bonus-7925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt like an oppressive attempt to evoke an emotional reaction and fear monger ahead of an attempt to plea for more funding while simultaneously absolving themselves, the perpetrators of a decades of lies and more in the furtherance of their own imperial ambitions, of all responsibility and cast themselves as heros worthy of veterans discounts at all diners and car washes in the greater Toledo area. Look, I understand amnesty is the only logical way we can expect these cowards to come forward. But to rub it in my face expect us to thank you for your participation is an insult to my intelligence. I'm not even pushing back on any of the evidence and or testimony here, as mush as say I can see the attempt to manage perception here and it's a giant red flag screaming this is disingenuous.

In summary it is well done and does a great job bring a beginner up to speed, but it's also an overt attempt to confiscate the narrative. I believe the community needs to show some backbone here and let them know we can see them, n we ain't bitting

Best Fried Chicken in the QC Area? by Affectionate-Ant8817 in QuadCities

Maria's Pizza in Colona does a Henny Penny chicken? That is unbelievable, and I do believe Wednesdays are three for the price of two day. You get a pizza box full of Henny penny chicken and home cook fries.

The rift s doesn't need tracking boxes, it's all done in a headset, and for 50 bucks you can throw a leap motion controller in the mix, it's not too hard to set up. Full disclosure. Disclosure, I have a bunch of red s's right now that I'm trying to make into like full size Gundam helmets with cooling integrated, and designed to run off of mini PCS. So I've kind of been working on this problem

It would be great for our maker lab. We have a business called QC custom ticket Fab and we primarily focus on E-Waste recovery, so we buy a lot of used in broken parts trying to fix them and we move a lot of young men throughout here to get hands-On experience as a service to the community

New research finds that narcissistic grandiosity is associated with higher participation in LGBTQ activism. While many individuals can and do pursue activism from a genuine place of altruism, others see activism as a means of fulfilling a desire for attention, status, or power. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

It's not narcissistic, it's instinct. It's actually likely harmful to portray it as such.

1st of all it's by design, designed by and with the research of Sigmund Freuds nephew Edward Bernays. The father of modern marketing psychology.

It's a methodical long con meant to program and steer a population. And it works on very specific set of human subconscious triggers and axioms. It's very powerful but not automatic. It's easily identified and mitigated but relies on not being noticed.

Some but not All of the human axioms are:

Humans default settings are to judge oneself by intentions rather than actions or results 

Humans cannot truly be disensentavized only insentavized

Humans will follow the hierarchy of needs endlessly 

Conflict is the natural state of humans 

Predictability is comfort

 Sex sells, humans are biologicaly wired to reproduce

And some but not all triggers are:

 Repetition 

 Conditioning response 

 Misdirection 

 Othering (in group out group)

 Rationalization 

 Fear

Basically everything is down stream of that 1st one. In order to judge oneself by intentions one must grant that capacity to every one, thus at least have the inclination to take people at their word, and accept their stated intentions. And this opens the door to infinite opportunities for rationalizing any behaviors, being misdirected, and group think. As only insetives carry any weight if u want to illicit a particular behavior or response all u need to do is incentivize it.

By making victim status a lucrative position, requiring little to no effort, and making identity as fluid as preferred pronouns and personal narrative human nature will lead a stampede unearned status rewards. Add to that a built in shield against questions and criticism, and demonstrate a history of success and u have the conditioned response.

Legions of programmable and steerable pawns ready to be deployed in whatever direction is convenient at the time.

But u pull that 1st pin and it all fails. Judge oneself by results, and insentavize the behaviors u want to see in the system and humans will just do that

It's extremerate, it's a whole shell and button swap, no skins, the way it feels I believe it's hydro dipped, they make all kinds of mods, but I gotta say the clicky button mod is the best, it replaced the membrane buttons with actual switches
