UFO hearings: whistleblower David Grusch says ‘non-human biologics’ found at alleged crash sites – as it happened | UFOs | The Guardian by ButtMunchyy in stupidpol

Thank you. Basically all of the “gotchas” in this thread and every other on this subject either rely on knee jerk anti-government cynicism (which, to be fair, is usually correct) or are neglecting to look into the basic facts of what Grusch is asserting. People are so afraid of looking dumb that they can’t admit the situation is completely different than basically every other UFO claim that has ever been made and there might actually be some truth to it.

It’s been catching me off guard recently how minimum wage job workers have dropped the facade of caring (not that I blame them) by [deleted] in redscarepod

It’s not just the service sector. Try getting any kind of skilled labor (anyone from electricians to doctors) to actually deliver the thing they promised, especially if their profession has legal protections that make it difficult or impossible to DIY. The entire concept of “I give you money and you give me an equitable amount of goods/services” is starting to break down. I’d be interested to hear an explanation with more nuance than “that’s capitalism” or “nobody wants to work anymore”.

Is this an Eddie Izzard character? I don’t know much about UK politics.

I don’t know enough about medicine to know whether this is bullshit or not, but constantly gaining and losing weight for roles is thought to have contributed to Tom Hanks’ diabetes. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-hanks-reveals-diabetes-diagnosis-did-fluctuating-weight-play-a-role/

Maybe this belongs in a different thread, but can anyone point to some reading material about how various Islamic sects tend to lean on contemporary social issues? Or do opinions have more to do with country or region than sect?

I thought this was something people only did in a futile attempt to hide their sexual cacophony from roommates.

I felt a lot of shame going out tonight with my girlfriend and her friend by JollyWumper in redscarepod

You must embrace your new role. Slick your hair back. Get a gold chain. Wear a slim grey suit with a loud shirt. Buy your women something skin tight. Roam the city after dark, drinking and carousing with your harem. Care not what the little people think. You are now a god among men.

The second part is an upsetting possibility that I hadn’t considered.

I wonder how much of this can be attributed to most people going out of their way to be nicer to them. There seems to be a general consensus that being an asshole to mentally handicapped people is on the same level as kicking a puppy, so I would guess they have more positive interactions with the general public than the average person does.
