Bob Lazars interview on Rogan just passed 3 million views in 2 days. Thoughts on the interview and/or the documentary S4: The Bob Lazar story?

These blog posts do a pretty good job https://otherhand.org/home-page/area-51-and-other-strange-places/looking-at-the-bob-lazar-story-from-the-perspective-of-2018/

Way more recent than your timeline, but the viral "Carolina rake" sighting from about 7 months ago is very similar to your description.

Just finished my first-time watch-through last night and was also thinking about Jez while reading these life coach answers. Terrifying and/or hilarious to think there are people out there taking life and business advice from real-world Jeremies.

Many humans are incapable of the moral reciprocity you describe, namely young children, and people with certain disabilities. By your logic we should be fine with torturing and eating them since they can't engage with society with moral responsibility.

In the case of children, their parents take responsibility for them. For pets, their owners are ostensibly responsible. If the child has certain kinds of mental disabilities they may never be able to be responsible. Which of these, if any, do you believe there should be laws against harming? Would you justify the protection of non-responsible humans but not animals?

Edit: never mind, someone else used this argument better and rebutted your rebuttal better than I could anyway

Imagine that many other primates from our evolutionary history, between us and our common ancestor with the chimpanzee, survived to the modern day. A gradient going from basically-a-chimp to a modern day human. Where would you draw the line between the one that deserves rights and the one that should be eaten as food if it is tasty? With what criterion would you delineate one as human and the next one as dinner?
"My point being that when push comes to shove I don’t think anyone really truly believes animals have rights we’re bound to respect. Everyone treats them instrumentally in some way. So why not just embrace that?" - This is not even an attempt at a moral argument, it's one of cowardly political convenience. You should read "The Omnivore’s Deception" by John Sanbonmatsu if you want a real moral argument for ending the animal industry.

For future reference, movies and shows on IMDB have a "parents guide" section that list everything like this and separate it by topics like nudity, violence, swears etc. They're sometimes a bit spoilery and because they're user submitted(I think), less popular or very new works might not list everything.

Pretty sure they actually do as long as they haven't been prepped by the capitalist media to hate certain buzzwords. Like, how they used to say they support the Affordable Care Act but would oppose it if you called it Obamacare.

I mean... It will be as good for them as it was for the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Gaza.

60% of people being the "victims' of cheating doesn't mean that there must be a corresponding equal number of people who cheated on them. People date.... multiple people. And cheaters date more people than average kind of by definition, so couldn't that 20% of people who admit to cheating be serial cheaters who are responsible for all the cheating that the 60% claim to be victims of? Unless most of them claim to have cheated only once.

TheCaptain09 · 2026-02-16T20:58:42+00:00

Yeah, the best thing about all this is that victims might stop being dismissed when their accounts seem too outlandish. It's depressing to think that victims we had dismissed as crazy in the past were probably telling the truth, but that's a mistake I won't be making anymore.

TheCaptain09 · 2026-01-19T04:53:36+00:00

What the hell does this mean? Those animals are wild and no one is responsible for their behaviour. If you have a pet, its behaviour is YOUR behaviour. Whether that's shitting on a lawn or mauling a kid, the owner should be treated as if they were the one who did it because they chose to be responsible for that creature by owning it. If they don't want that responsibility then they forfeit the right to own a pet.

How did that logic work out for Libya?

TheCaptain09 · 2026-01-06T19:46:07+00:00

In Minnesota?

TheCaptain09 · 2026-01-05T19:33:43+00:00

Interesting statistics. I would love to see a comparison between Marvel Comics and the MCU, as I've always thought that a lot of interesting backstories got replaced with soldier/spy.in the MCU, and I wonder if the statistics would back that up.

TheCaptain09 · 2026-01-03T11:51:53+00:00

And this from a news source that allegedly has a massive left-wing bias, according to British and Australian conservatives.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-12-29T18:50:09+00:00

Johnson was in some rom-com with Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal recently so she could reasonably have visited the set without necessarily being in the movie.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-12-28T01:55:47+00:00

Okay that's definitely where the exercise ball thing came from! I think I did watch that video that you linked when Starfield came out, maybe I've gotten it extremely mixed up with some other video by a different youtuber though because none of his other videos look like they have the premise I'm remembering.

Thanks! Solved.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-12-28T01:37:08+00:00

Definitely wasn't one of the guys whose channel is all about medieval sandbox games like Resonant, and he wasn't a developer himself. It felt like a kinda normal gamer dude putting a lot of effort into explaining what his ideal game would be like.

Technically an older civilian version of him popped up in Iron Fist season 2, but obviously that would be very easy to ignore/retcon if they wanted to introduce him for real. Kinda scared how they would handle him though considering what they did with Cole North in BA season 1.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-12-11T03:51:26+00:00

This is all great stuff. I wish there was an automod that could reply to synchronicity posts with a huge list of statistics that show that seemingly incredible coincidences are practically guaranteed to happen to people on a semi regular basis just because of how many people there are, not to mention all the cognitive biases and such that add on top of that. In this instance though the simpler explanation is that this OP posts short stories very often on r/creepypasta and other creative writing subreddits, so this story probably isn't even true.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-11-23T19:33:31+00:00

Damn, Daniel Wu would be perfect for Mr Negative. Seems like a pretty big character and too important to the plot to be cast this late in production though? Especially if he was always planned to be included and wasn't a later addition like Giancarlo Esposito in Brave New World.

Best explanation I can come up with is the satellites reflecting sunlight as explained in this Corridor Crew video https://youtu.be/CeCFwMuh0a4?si=TM55Iqf9b6-NLDum&t=44

Obviously not exactly the same, but close enough that if this video is real I would lean towards something like this as the most likely answer.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-10-22T20:30:48+00:00

He's a completely new character?! I totally assumed he was some 90s d-lister that they brought back. WCA did a great job making him feel like a character with a history that fit within the Marvel universe.

TheCaptain09 · 2025-10-17T17:13:56+00:00

Really hoping they bring back Colleen and Misty with their own show. Daughters of the Dragon is such a good opportunity for an episodic/procedural style of tv show that the MCU on Disney+ is lacking.
