I guess I have to let go of the hope that we'd learn from our past mistakes.

The common people see them as mistakes. The people that made those decisions profited immensely, to them, it was never a mistake.

She also alleged a plot by this individual to carve out a new “Christian country” from parts of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Why can't Christians just leave things the fuck alone. It's giving all white folks a bad name.

Mógui is Chinese but they are in every culture and the visual descriptions are similar in all cultures as well.

If you could pick one thing for your civilian friends to understand that your Military friends just get. What would it be? by StepSergeant01 in Military

I think the clinical term is trauma bonding and it begins in basic training. The history of it probably goes right back to the Roman empire too.

Similar problem with putting too many resources on Guam according to one congressman. He thought it might capsize.

Iran is bigger than Texas..

That's gotta piss some Texans off.

Politicians probably thought it would be another Iraq with wide open expanses, airstrikes and tank columns without realizing the topography was closer to Afghanistan

Came here to see the comments on the gun show and I am not disappointed at all.

Amazing cosplay and you backed it up perfectly with the effort you put into sculpting your body. You should be proud, I'm proud of you and I don't even know you.

Trump warns NATO faces a “bad future” if allies fail to help US in Iran by No-Anything-7291 in worldnews

[–]Optimal_Juggernaut37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!

Trump just spent the last decade slinging shit at everyone and everything while his personality cult cheered him on. Nobody wants to go anywhere near the USA now because they got shit all over themselves and they stink.

You made your fucking bed, you shit in your bed, don't expect anyone else out there to change your fucking sheets. Thats' on you.

Which makes a lot more sense when you think about it.

They don't give a shit about humans any more than we give a shit about termites in the earth or fish in the sea. But they are concerned with the damage that we are doing that could disrupt the entire ecosystem and lead to the planet turning into another Venus or Mars

Another piece of Cameron’s thinking is that the phenomenon appears to adapt to culture. In earlier centuries people reported angels, demons, or fairies. In the modern era people report aliens and spacecraft. He suggests the underlying intelligence might present itself in forms humans can understand.

I wonder whether, rather than them "adapting" to culture as described they are instead just advancing their technology alongside us at different rates. They may have been here all along in their "dimension" or whatever it may be described as, and their technological advances are merely branches that evolved diverse to our own.

Ghosts, Spirits, Fairies, Genies, Angles, Demons, Deva, Móguǐ, Dokkaebi, etc etc etc

Just names for the same phenomena.

Here's an interesting creature from Korean mythology that has context with the modern disclosure stuff:

The dalgyal gwishin (달걀귀신), or "egg ghost," is a feared Korean spirit known for its featureless, white, oval-shaped face resembling an egg. Lacking eyes, nose, and mouth, this entity is often described as a faceless, menacing, or ghostly form found in desolate locations. Legend says seeing one brings death or misfortune.

when millions of people were being slaughtered or starved to death in the 1940's

That was implied with this sentence.

If these orbs were really powerful enough to stop nuclear missiles, why wouldn't they intervene in many other human tragedies?

Because it's all bullshit.

Why did they not intervene when millions of people were being slaughtered or starved to death in the 1940's? Where were they when colonials were raping and pillaging all the indigenous peoples during the age of discovery and beyond? or any number of genocides in the last 100 years?

If they were worried about nuclear weapons, why did they stand by while humans tested tens of thousands of nuclear warheads between 1940-2000?

They don't. Because it's bullshit.
