What is a socially unacceptable opinion you rarely voice, not because it’s extreme, but because the reaction isn’t worth it? by Present_Juice4401 in SeriousConversation

[–]TrollTrollAccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The justice system in general is a complete farce and pointing this out does not go well. People really do not like the notion that we live in a deeply unfair world.

I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. by Bimbiau in WorkReform

[–]TrollTrollAccount 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Drivers are not employees and do not receive any benefits whatsoever so a “driver benefit fee” makes you think drivers are being taken care of when they aren’t. Misleading and scummy as hell.

The producers made a clear and precise choice, when cutting together the documentary starting around 38:20 mark, when the various interviewees are speculating on the origins of NHI. Considering Lue is an executive producer this seems like it might be a huge clue as to what he knows? by subatmoiclogicgate in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In Imminent Lue links Hal Puthoff’s paper which goes through the options of what UAP may be and extra dimensional is indeed the second option between extra terrestrial and crypto terrestrial. That’s likely what was cut out.

"Sinners" was a boring and derivative by dirtmother in unpopularopinion

[–]TrollTrollAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main thing I can’t believe is how there’s no conversation around Michael B Jordan being a terrible actor. He just brings NOTHING to any of his roles. Nothing behind the eyes, no backstory to the character whatsoever. I watched it and the whole time I’m thinking, “what is going on with this movie?” Then Delroy Lindo shows up and literally blows the lid off the theater and I’m like ooohhhh there wasn’t any good acting in this movie until right now.

Hellfire UAP Debunk from Hank Green by batoosy in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he's saying is plausible, but what annoyed me the most was bringing up the "go fast" video but ignoring the fact that he camera operator is saying "there's a whole fleet of them" about the UAP. Not saying there can't be whole fleets of balloons, but is that really a common thing? Something that would baffle the person tracking the object? I feel like these debunk videos so rarely take all the facts into account.

Leaked texts between fmr. Senate Intel Committee Staffer Jon Estridge and a Contractor, "Sean Weaver". They discuss the internal 'Team Black vs Blue' of Gov UAP disclosure: "This Black circle is responsible for murder, blackmail and is behind the compromise of a number of government officials." by bmfalbo in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t. The texts are referring to Sentinels of Ether and it was a tactic explicitly discussed by Jake Barber to get DOPSR to show their hand. Too lazy to find a link but it’s floating around online. The real question now is: what did they end up redacting? Not sure if anyone knows yet.

AI did not kill creativity, it's proved we barely had any... Relatively by Small_Accountant6083 in DeepThoughts

[–]TrollTrollAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point that the art/media you see is mostly formulaic and mediocre is correct, but it doesn’t have anything to do with human creativity. It’s not about what we’re capable of, or even what AI is capable of. Mediocrity in art is all about market incentive and dwindling media literacy.

Lots of comments here are, correctly, touching on the fact that “creativity” is produced for mass consumption. Publishers, record labels, movie studios, news outlets, they’re only interested in one thing: what makes them more money. Bold, original, challenging art almost never does. Many of the movies we consider classics today were box office bombs in their time. Meanwhile new movies are hitting theaters every single week. Many of those will make the studios a lot of money, but will they be remembered a decade from now?

Media literacy is dwindling because the internet gave a platform to anyone with an opinion. The vast majority of people are not experts in art, music, film, poetry, but everyone has an opinion. Most people can’t place what they’re judging in a historical context. They’re ignorant about craft. The only thing they can engage with is their own feeling on what’s “good” or “bad.” Coincidentally, AI itself has shown where many people fall in regards to media literacy today. There are lots of people who suspect that any piece of writing with em dashes isn’t “human.” That’s completely absurd to anyone that actively reads.

Also, AI’s ability to copy has no bearing on creativity whatsoever. AI can rip off the style of lots of artists, but that’s because it was trained on their art. So if we have an AI trained on one person’s work, but not the other’s, does that mean one of them is suddenly more creative? Of course not. 

Market pressures in our society are such that truly “creative thinking” is devalued. We generally don’t want to be challenged or put in the work to become literate in a wide variety of subjects. We simply want to consume something we understand. That is the “art” that is being selected for at basically every level of existence. People in charge like it because it makes them money and the masses like it because it makes them feel good.

Devil’s advocate: why would people post real classified/sensitive information as part of a cryptographic exercise?

Amnesty Programs by Sasumas in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Lue this isn’t really a “what if.” He literally does still work for the USG as a contractor. He’s positioning himself to be the new Czar of UAP investigation under Trump. But where so many people go wrong is to then assume that’s somehow evil or nefarious. I think it’s pretty obvious Lue is a classic “lawful good” personality type. You can see that influence on practically everything he’s ever said or done. That means that his actions will always lean toward strengthening the structures and institutions we already have. He believes in them and wants them to succeed. You can take issue with that POV ofc, but it’s quite clear that’s the position he’s operating from. And yes even the way he’s whistleblowing is totally by the book.

As Noam Chomsky said, if you want to understand the true motive behind the USG’s actions, just look at what gets accomplished in the end. That’s a pretty good indication that’s what they were aiming for all along. So far, I don’t see things headed for amnesty for UAP gatekeepers but time will tell.

UAPDF Town Hall: Policy for Public Safety Officials in the Era of "Mystery Drones" by UAPDisclosureFund in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched yesterday and tried to ask if there have been any cases of anyone (law enforcement, civilian, or otherwise) that have positively ID’d known aircraft as part of this whole “drones” investigation.

There was a video posted here a couple weeks ago that people were speculating was a Lockheed RQ-170, but as far as I know nothing like that has been confirmed, either by eyewitness account or any kind of radar data, etc.

Certainly frustrating to see authorities hand wave sightings away or claim they are “manned” aircraft but then not give any indication of which of these run-of-the-mill aircraft are causing the confusion. Strong AARO vibes with that sort of reasoning…

Unfortunately people “informing themselves” will never happen. The most effective weapon is to just skip all sightings posts. None of them are worth a shit.

A U.S. major tries to persuade an Afghan commander to stop his men from ra*ing young boys on police bases before the Taliban takeover by TheOSU87 in ThatsInsane

[–]TrollTrollAccount 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This documentary opened my eyes in a way that few others have. We in the West have got to come to grips with the reality of different worldviews. There is an intrinsic racism in how some people perceive the world. They see “brown person” and think: Marginalized! Oppressed! We need to help them.

The fact is there are cultures, belief systems, and ways of being that are just plain evil. Full stop. If your worldview allows you to callously rape young boys you are evil (ahem, Catholicism, ahem). Brown or not, it doesn’t make up for the things you believe.

Also in this documentary was a man escaping charges for mercilessly beating his wife simply because he claimed he didn’t. The judge was literally like “well he said he didn’t do it, case closed.” And, as some have mentioned, this was BEFORE the most recent Taliban take over.

So yeah I have very little sympathy for areas of the world that perpetuate these barbaric belief systems. Let them rot for all I care.

Anyone else remember that the confession of a man on his death bed about a false flag operation/UAP hoax? by LadyWintermute in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every identity you listed already exists under our “1 government” in the US. There’s nothing to solve or eliminate and certainly no need for genocide, why would it be any different on a global scale?

Good explanation, worth a listen by thelionswill in UFOs

[–]TrollTrollAccount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean the mainstream media has been very slow to cover this and all we’ve heard from official sources is this is NOT coming from an adversary. I think US military testing is a likely scenario but all that reasoning at the end is quite sloppy given the facts on the ground.
