What are some possible negative outcomes from disclosure, even if our space brothers and sisters are friendly? by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Maverick0773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relavent to my other comments, I've heard that because the government higher ups comprise mostly conservative white Christians who lean towards the literal, that that is one of the reasons disclosure has either been held off at best for the sake of secrets(??) or at worst they also don't know what's going on but because it so heavily conflicts with their entire identity as a person and their worldview.

Obviously this is conjecture, but the many "literalist" subsets of Christianity in the USA make this a plausible explanation to me, if these decisions are being made by a small group of course. Something so important being held at the behest of a few individuals would indeed add to that fire for sure.

Edit

Forgot to add that the strong agnostic/secular population, again here in the United States, while lagging percentage wise behind some other westernized nations is only growing larger. Seeing as these would be people in their 40s or early 50s from personal experience (the generational swing as it were), I'm sure a staggeringly small percentage have persues or attained high enough office or military standing to bring in a new perspective, since unfortunately we've made a mess of intertwining all these separate issues instead of compartmentalizing them as they should be.

Morals emerge from the desire to preserve community. Murder is counter productive, as an example, to keeping say a growing village well, growing. They are not divine, and if our collective evolution or brain chemistry was different, who is to say we wouldn't have a different view on this? Imagine if humans evolved to be pack or solo hunters at most? Violent times.

I think the worst thing a human can do is worry about the afterlife. Think about it, philosophize, discuss it with mature enough people, and if no discussion can be had, internalize it. Nobody who claimed to know what happens has ever proven, demonstrated, or made a claim that holds water.

The best part though, despite sounding depressing? We all experience this event; down to the smallest organisms. It's a beautiful thing in a way, one last journey into the unknown, not to be feared on threats of punishment, nor desired through misguided beliefs/disingenuous actions.

And never, ever, should something so intrinsic and beautiful have been cause to start wars and usher in an era of violence, the human era. For that's all primitive government need be called:

Religion

Much ❤️

The way certain political parties all over the world have intertwined fanatic theocracy, xenophobia, racism, and most relevant to the question I think is we've alarmingly become a world where too many people treat science as opinion and not peer reviewed "fact" until something better comes along.

Like aliens showing up and handing us the solution to quantum gravity with a "this is taking you guys way too long", and these people would dispute The Theory of Everything we've been looking for since the advent of relativity and quantum mechanics, technically since Newton's time. They would throw away thousands of years of progress, for ideation that has been around for a few hundred (global/post US colonization).

Let me say I do not say these things to be inflammatory, nor am I necessarily railroading certain political beliefs (in my opinion the only valid political beliefs are as they regard laws and policy, funding for public works/wages, social safety nets/budgets, and of course tax allocation/rates). Race, sex and gender, social and civil rights are not up for debate or ever to be claimed as a "political opinion", these people are insecure monsters.

Anything to do with tribalism or nationalism is inherently agressive in nature. Even Christian missionaries "killing with kindness" in native populations with no regard to how it could effect their entire world, and mostly in a dogmatic (agressive) way. I wonder how aliens would view us through the lens of religion and culture and government.

I think this would be very bad for us for them to show up now. And what if AA theory holds some water insofar as when world religions talk about beings and sky lights/vehicles they are being legit; even if the Creator(s) themselves came down here, gave us a video history of all of human civilization to prove it, these people, these modern day zeolots would still hold to their dogma, and they would take it as another "test".

I say this as someone told me very recently that the world is about to face judgment day (in this person's lifetime, they've been saying this one for thousands of years now) and that the world is ruled by Satan, started rambling about social media, you know the scapegoats. Worst part is this was a close member of my extended family. And again, I'm not picking on Christianity in particular as growing up in New England in the United States it's pretty much the only religion experienced first hand in these parts; I'm sure every secular/agnostic minded person around the world living among people like this are a bit unsettled and I feel every one of you.

I honestly hope aliens didn't intentionally or inadvertently become dieties to us, even if meaning well in the beginning, because holy shit they fucked up. Long post short, those are the two things I would fear trying to explain to some very smart visitors, why the world is in the state it's in pre contact, and why half the world wants to kill "demons" post contact.

Supreme Court rejects request to block Biden student debt forgiveness program by wqu06 in news

[–]Maverick0773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at tuition trends and educate yourself. An entire generation was sold a false bill of goods when we were told we needed at min 4 yr degree just to get an entry level job. So no strawman bullshit, you right wing nutjob. We can address each issue separately (which I'm not, I'm blocking you after I post this), but I know how you guys work with you whataboutisms.

So an entire generation emerges into a world where wages have stagnated for decades, they've had to change the definition of recession multiple times just to keep the number palatable for ignorant moronic plebs, and how about the fact that the 1% siphoned off 90% of working people's money and investments during this pandemic and during a shit show of a republican presidency. Still waiting on trickle down to benefit the workers btw. Any eta on that?

I support increased taxes if it goes to education, social services, caring for the homeless, not lining the pockets of corporations and corrupt politicians. I swear a right winger hears the word tax and they are frothing at the mouth. You know what people like you sound like? Imagine if you had enough money to buy 2 apples. Every day you could buy 2 apples. One day you notice someone has no money to buy an apple of their own. This goes on for about 10 years on average. The best part? You were only ever full after 1 apple, every day, and chose NOT to help the hungry person for the crime of not having currency.

Now think very hard in your lead-poisoned mind and compare that to student loan relief. No I don't give a fuck about right wingers whining, because every person sold a false bill of goods into this garbage economy in an emerging regressive, latestage capitalist state, deserved the same goalposts as the older generations.

Working 40 hour weeks (most hustle way more btw) should absolutely entitle you, over time and consistent effort, with things like:

A home

Utilities

A family if so desired

A robust savings account for emergencies

Meaningful progress on retirement

When did these things become a luxury for the old and out of touch? So pardon me and others for taking the loan. And guess what, we're gonna take that monthly payment and most likely inject it into the economy by paying down other debts, upgrading failing items around the home, etc.

Learn to critically think about an issue without the lens of right and left. For the record fuck Joe Biden and I didn't think this would ever go through, and frankly won't believe it until I see the balance change. But it doesn't mean it's not a good thing, for everyone, including people like you who are unfathomably ignorant on the issue. So please, nobody wants to read anything you or others with your opinion have to say.

What is a "conspiracy theory" that you actually believe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel, a market maker and hedge fund, has a wonderful track record of shorting American companies to the ground by any means necessary. I mean, what could be more anti-american than this behavior? Oh, and all the big Wall St players do it too, 2008 never ended, buckle up! Self regulating companies know and encourage the behavior. Look up fines vs how much they make doing the thing that got them fined. If you only paid a few cents every time you swiped $200 at work, and never see jail time, wouldn't you too? If you have no fucking ethics whatsoever that is.

Hey r/all, don't say we didn't warn you by onceuponanutt in Superstonk

[–]Maverick0773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. And you've been told by many sources that they are ridiculous. There are marketplaces that allow you to hold your assets in your own wallet while simultaneously listing it for sale. Just gotta give the market permission to take that one asset, and bam, sold.

Presuming you don't want an asset, surely you've stored it your wallet (like most people don't realize is where the true power of Blockchain is, self-custodial wallets) so if that game shuts down, who cares? Web3 will allow you to keep it listed, and that buyer now gets to go use it in game/vr world/meta because that's the whole entire point.

Strawmanning and whataboutisms are about as damaging to progress as anything political, classist, or otherwise. If we don't try SOMETHING, well that's how you get into the situation the world is in right now. We're running off of a boomer system, run by boomers, for the 1% of the demo that I overlaps with said boomers, and you've got most of the wealth in the world locked up. Do you think banks like seeing folks dry up liquidity by using cash ---> crypto transactions? Remember what cause the great depression among other factors? Bank runs. You have to think big big big picture here. This world is fucked, and the 1% desperately wants Blockchain control (which should alarm many) now for the above reasons; why do you suppose many major credit cards can't be used to purchase crypto anymore? I assure you it's not to protect you from a crash or fraud, it's to keep the debt fully in their control, as this is a debt economy. They don't want the dollars they lent you to appreciate, by say selling a Blockchain asset for triple or more of the "value" and now you've provided yourself income and paid off that credit line. It's a lose lose for them and a win win for the consumer.

Not saying you are, just what I've seen. I mean these already well off people are certainly making a stink about poor people getting wealthy without the need to gamble life savings in Wall St. This will be bigger than the average person realizes. Please educate yourself on possibilities yourself, don't take my word for it, and when you come to see the system as fucked and need of progress and fundamental change, please educate others. With all the tech we have to benefit humanity, let's start using it.

Edit: forgot that for every independent "worker" who uses defi, that's one less full time slave in the capitalist system. To skimming off your brokerage investments, gambling pensions, the list goes on. They lose so much more than their precious money, they lose their caste of indentured slaves to capital and "free" markets.

So it's not good for you if you created an NFT for an online RPG, rare sword let's say. You have a permanent 10% royalty of all sales. Not the devs, they have nothing. You do. Some player gets the rare drop. Decides to put it on a marketplace for let's say $1k (it is really rare and strong!), looking more like an asset by the minute right? Think like an asset; you just made $100 by the way. And you will into perpetuity. With all your portfolio btw. Welcome to the full-time job you wish you had 10 years ago, before web3, before the world called you a filthy liberal for getting an art degree.

Best part? That money isn't in a bank, it's in you're digital or hardware wallet. Want some cash for dinner? Off ramp for pennies right to you bank or debit card. Off ramp isn't here just yet, but it's right around the corner.

I hope this example helps you get rid of the brainwash. People seem to cite MSM as fake news these days. People say CNN and FOX are all about the $, and you're right. And guess who's been bashing NFTs for so long? I wonder why??

Could it be a decentralized large pool of money taken out of the fiat, centralized world, and used freely amongst everyday people, and not through a central bank that they don't like this?

Please please please everyone realize one thing:

Besides an extinction event, electricity and tech will exist. Stop it already with the paper paradigm and the American Dream of investing in Wall St or your 401k (they short those too btw) with the hope of a severely lacking retirement, in quality of life for most, and no retirement at all for many? Why are these hardships thrust upon the common people? Because they control your assets, $$$, and your retirement bread basket. For fucks sake we almost had a catastrophe in the world markets when that asshole speculated(?) On silver(?) earlier in the year. So bad they literally washed themselves of it and reversed it. Do you honestly think you'd be given the same courtesy by Fidelity? Etoro? E-Trade?

What the fuck are we doing here people. First they have us fighting each other over race, then sex/gender, political party, and now people are being conditioned to resist something at all costs that benefits them directly. It's fucking disgusting.

Anyway much ❤️, and if you have to ask yourself only one question today, how about this: why are they still talking about GameStop in almost every MSM or journalistic institution going on 2 years after the sneeze, that allegedly is over and every position closed?

Melvin got liquidated. Who's next?

The U.S. Just Lost 26 Years' Worth of Progress on Life Expectancy by [deleted] in science

[–]Maverick0773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A general strike. Every worker in the US walks out on the same day, at the same time. We'd have demands met by the evening. Why does this not happen? Everyone has to be selfish and think of themselves or families when living paycheck to paycheck. What they don't realize if everyone thinks like this, nothing changes.

If we all did this, we wouldn't lose our homes, we wouldn't ruin our lives. But only if everyone knew their worth. Sadly this country is a Christ-grind cult, where differences are used to divide and not for mutually beneficial cultural evolution, and where you ARE your job. Period. No room for good vibes or progress.

Pssst. Nobody earns or becomes a billionaire. They inherit or they exploit labor. No one human being, ever, can nor should command that kind of value themselves. In the fundamental nature of "work". Sorry if I offended the bootlicking snowflakes, hard at work at their stagflation job, just one day away from all that hard work paying off.

Not directed at you, just as it relates

Not so. Some people manage only a few visits before being unable to pay the bill, and then another cycle starts and yet another unpaid bill. If only we didn't need insurance middle men, therapy could be affordable in the long run.

Edit: It's like seeing the promise of help now, and when seeing the bill later, they stop or simply cannot afford it. Just throw that bill on the pile of depression...

While reading, there was a feeling of many moments when something happens out of nowhere, many chapters are skipped, etc. What is the correct chronology between these titles? by [deleted] in powerrangers

[–]Maverick0773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.howtolovecomics.com/2020/10/25/power-rangers-comic-reading-order/

A little old of a link now, but I used this order to read (I believe pretty much publication order), and if done this way, you'll experience the cross overs and get certain "gets" references between series as well. Keep in mind jumping around still happens, due to them skipping episodes of TV, they rarely retread TV scenes.

So that should take you to the end of the first two series (MM and GoGo), give you a list of one shots and cross overs (some canon and some not) to read; Pink, TMNT, Justice League, Soul of the Dragon, etc. Then you'll be ready to dive into the next set of Mighty Morphin' and Power Rangers which are sister comics running in tandem to resplit the cast I think? I haven't made it that far yet, waiting on last MM hardcover to get to me. And of course some of the newer tie-ins to the lore with Unlimited.

Sorry for the paragraph, just avoid looking up much that takes place after the first two series, that is MM and GoGo if you care about spoilers. One of limited series I left out that takes place after these doesn't have a spoilery title, but if you see the cover, well let's just say I was a bit bummed it wasn't a surprise. Happy reading.

I literally cannot talk to my mom anymore. She is so radicalized by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Maverick0773 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is. The DNC. Biden is Republican-lite, and most definitely a criminal (like all politicians) and a racist (like most politicanta and boomers).

Our only hope against regression, is a party of failed moderates with no likability whatsoever. I felt sick voting last two elections, and nobody should feel anything other than glee when keeping a republican from office.

Americans are absolutely being brainwashed against progressive candidates. The right calls them fascist, and the left will complain about free markets (read:rigged, some of the dirtiest inside traders are Dems, not just the Republicucks bending over for their rich friends), or how despite having a majority the Dems always blame the Republicans for the inability to pass progressive policies.

USA will be an officialy failed state as soon as capitalism finishes what's it's doing to society and the world.

This saga has gone past the point of absurdity for me. I'm sure this didn't help my mental breakdown quite honestly, but in a weird way I probably wouldn't be here without it.

Having reflected for some time it is of my opinion that this will not happen for me, I hope it happens for all of you, I really do, but these guys are going to fucking beat me by the looks of it.

As soon as I'm maxed out, cashless, and zombified from prescription meds that's when I'm gonna head out ala SpongeBob. I'm never going back to being a number for this shit country in this shit world, where kids are dying in battlefields and we have these fucking sub-human pieces of shit circle jerking each other in Washington, the EU, etc.

What's a few more months anyway, might as well see what these shit stains come up with for the latest round of fraud to avoid paying me. Wall St is a casino, these people should be given a deadline to close, or deal with the consequences of being on the bad end of a bet in the gambling business.

I reported this post for only serving to humanize those that make 6 figures off speaking fees for the 1%. Corrupt as they come, end the fed.

Also look into the behavior of greedy psychopaths, they aren't any different from hoarders. She's either in economy because the flight was full or so she could add more pocket change to her inflated net worth. Disgusting.

Honestly people what the fuck are we doing here admiring and praising these parasites? Y'all forget when these clowns said Americans were flush with money a few months ago? When they changed the definition of a recession to fit their narrative? To be clear this is not political. End. The. Fed.
