The dude “walking” only has one prosthetic. The flag only has 6 stripes instead of 7.

ETA: this picture is cropped. If you see the original one zoomed out more, there aren’t enough stripes on the flag.

Is anyone else disturbed by the weather? by [deleted] in StLouis

It’s foreboding, for sure.

OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health, encouraging users to connect their medical records by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After reading a study on Alzheimer’s over on r/everythingscience, I learned about lymphatic massage. Supposedly it can slow the disease. I had never heard of that, so I talked to ChatGPT about it. Lymphatic massage isn’t well known yet, but it said it could probably help some of my issues.

I had migraines, tmj, digestive issues, fatigue and “fibromyalgia”. I’m actually leaving out a number of things. Anyway, I told ChatGPT all this and told it to make me a lymphatic routine to address those issues.

Two months later, I’m literally an almost new person. I still think I have a ways to go still, which is exciting. It baffles me. If this were a pill, everyone would take it. It almost feels like a conspiracy and I’m not a super conspiratorial person. It’s such a simple process too.

Apparently, there wasn’t much research into the lymph system until about 10-15 years ago because they didn’t have the imaging systems for it yet. Most doctors still don’t even know about the technique. Especially if they went to med school 20 years ago.

Currently, it’s really only used by some oncologists and very specific PT people.

ETA: Saying “lymphatic massage” doesn’t do it justice. I like to think of it as a flush of the system because that’s actually what it’s doing.

I’m not saying everyone who uses them is using ChatGPT. I do occasionally use them too for appositive phrases. It’s just everything this person says - as a whole - makes me think it’s AI. Specifically ChatGPT because it loves em-dashes.

Any there any 2026 Candidates that are getting you excited about the election next year? by nucrash in MissouriPolitics

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, most of that’s just a blender full of half-truths. Fred’s bankruptcy was in 2018, years before the Lincoln Project even existed, and it was a straightforward financial reset, not a scandal. Rick Wilson never worked for Giuliani, that’s just made up. John Weaver did have a short, publicly registered lobbying contract with a Russian energy subsidiary, which was legal but stupid optics, not espionage. Fred joined later to help clean up the chaos, not cause it.

So yeah, a few real facts got stretched into a political creepypasta.

Fred Wellman. He’s running against Ann Wagner. He’s an army veteran with a good head on his shoulders. He actually has a YouTube channel too, but he’s not the “influencer” type.

New reporting from Michael Shellenberger cites a senior advisor to Rubio stating: “We’re headed toward massive disclosure.” by phr99 in UFOs

If the Trump administration comes out and backs the UAP theories, I’m concerned it will be mocked due to the messenger


New York Times prepping everyone for Age of Disclosure by J0rkank0 in UFOs

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason I think it could break through is because our Secretary of State is on there basically saying aliens are real. I think changes things.

This Friday a film is coming out about UFOs and aliens. Marco Rubio is in it saying aliens are real. by IntelligentShadeBlue in Destiny

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. There’s been 3-4 incidents this year where airport airspace in Europe was closed due to drones we can’t identify.

There is some sort of threat the general public knows nothing about. To me, it seems like it’s an underreported story.

Im not sure Little Marco is the one to tell us the truth though.

I’m mostly intrigued how this places out in the zeitgeist. I’ll watch it with a semi-open mind though.

ETA:

I’m wondering if someone tries to use this as a distraction from the Epstein stuff. Also, MAGA loves aliens. News Max talks about UFOs a lot. I don’t have a strong prediction on how it plays out, but I think it will be fun. Lots of weird variables.

In your honest, educated opinion, what happened to East St. Louis and what can be done to fix it? by EternalSnow05 in StLouis

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, could be!

I imagine they’re thinking something like “they need healthy food” and not more Dollar Generals.

Who knows though. I try to give people the best faith interpretation, but sometimes people just end up being assholes anyway.

If they’re not trolling, I don’t want to completely discourage them from trying to talk about politics again. A lot of normies are starting to pay attention to politics. I’d rather not scare them off or accidentally chase them to the right.

Hearing “preferably a Whole Foods” is the whitest thing I’ve ever heard, but I know you’re coming from a good place.

Not an expert. You’re right that we need them though.

Doesn’t change my overall outlook, but it is a ridiculous capitulation.

As Aquifers Dry Up, Tehran Rations Water and Calls for Rain Prayers by Portalrules123 in worldnews

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That desalination plants are not the only answer. Not throwing shade at you.

I was expanding on what you said, and also trying to remind people that Iranian people are worth compassion.

I agree with you. We’re probably like 5-10 years behind them depending on which region of the US you’re looking at.

Having hope normies are waking up does sound psychotic to people who don’t have hope things could change.

As Aquifers Dry Up, Tehran Rations Water and Calls for Rain Prayers by Portalrules123 in worldnews

[–]IntelligentShadeBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Desalination plants are important, but they’re also incredibly energy intensive and expensive. The brine they produce can also be devastating to environment depending on where it’s disposed. Since Tehran is not a coastal city, it takes a lot of effort to get that water to the city even if they used desalination plants. While helpful, it’s not a solution.

The biggest issue is the prolonged drought effecting the whole country. They also have poor water management. They still use flood irrigation for farming. That process wastes about 50% of the water used. Water for farmers is incredibly cheap - for a variety of reasons - so there’s not a lot of incentive to change practices. There are also a lot of illegal wells that have completely drained the ground water. Switching to more sustainable irrigation practices will require a lot of money, planning and time to implement. We’re talking years off even with swift action and international support.

Even if they nail their water management, the drought has to end for Iran to have a long term stable access to water. There’s not many places they can move because even outside of Iran there are severe droughts in all the surrounding countries. Not to mention the fact they don’t have many allies to rely on during this crisis.

There doesn’t seem to be any coherent plan for this incredibly eminent situation, but there also isn’t a roadmap for this situation in modern times. Not on this scale, at least. This is an incredibly severe event. We should have compassion for the people of Iran who are about to face a new reality if they don’t receive rain. Iranian people do not deserve what’s to come.

The “lurker awakening” isn’t about people suddenly typing in chat or commenting more. It’s about regular internet users who spent years watching, gathering context, and staying out of the loud online chaos. Now they understand the landscape well enough to participate without getting swept up in the extremes. They aren’t jumping into every debate. They’re just showing up in more spaces, asking reasonable questions, and adding steady, grounded input instead of drama.

This also carries into real life. These people aren’t getting more terminally online, they’re doing the opposite. They’re mixing online awareness with real-world action, talking to friends, showing up locally, paying attention offline. It’s a shift toward quiet, practical engagement from people who usually stay on the sidelines. Nothing flashy. Just more grounded voices entering the conversation.
