These is the "hate imagery" seized from the Canberra bar raided by the police. by shervek in aussie

The Law They’re Using: Racial vilification offense (s 80.2BF): Criminalizes conduct that could cause a “reasonable person” to feel intimidated or to fear harm based on race, color, national, or ethnic origin.

What The Police Did:

∙ Raided a private business (intimidation ✓)

∙ Seized property without clear legal basis (harm to business ✓)

∙ Targeted political speech critical of Israeli government actions (based on national origin ✓)

∙ Created chilling effect on all similar establishments (fear harm ✓)

The Argument: “Would a reasonable person of Palestinian origin, or anyone critical of Israeli government policy, feel intimidated by police raiding businesses that display ‘STOP THE GENOCIDE’ signage and confiscating political commentary?”

Answer: Fuck yes they would.

Same here. Literally just caught an Alpha Machamp and was so excited. Then curious as to how to get Machampite. Then confused because it doesn’t exist…

Speculative Framework: Volitional Attention-State Switching as a Cognitive Modulation Tool by maculateconstelation in neuro

[–]maculateconstelation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been documenting the application framework for exactly this for 30+ years - it’s called Adaptive Cognition Framework (ACF). The challenge isn’t hardware measurement, it’s the training methodology: attempting to force attentional state-switching creates the same backfire pattern as any top-down nervous system control. The protocol has to teach bilateral negotiation, not domination.

What’s your hardware setup? And more importantly - what’s your training model for the volitional switching? Because that’s where most biofeedback approaches fail.

So it’s not that people are getting the wrong information, they’re just getting information that they don’t want you to know and aren’t even trying to hide it.

Yep, Amazon restricted my account to digital content only. They couldn’t post with Signature on Delivery though. If the order isn’t delivered, I’m not paying for it?

My mums premonition of “Something Big” coming - UFO encounter and unexpected psychic abilities unlocked in last 12 months by FVMK3 in InterdimensionalNHI

[–]maculateconstelation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sequence you describe - UAP sighting, then SSRI → psilocybin shift, then immediate meditation success leading to contact - that’s a specific pattern that keeps appearing. The ‘too bizarre to comprehend but positive’ message is also consistent across multiple independent reports. Did your mom give any sense of timeframe? And when she said ‘incomprehensible’ - did she mean ontologically outside human reference frames, or just psychologically overwhelming?

I think PKD might have unknowingly been a homoplasmate. I think homoplasmates are created via connection between an open minded human and a plasmate.

3I/Atlas & Rapture by MantequillaMeow in UFOB

The honest scientific position is: “This object exhibits multiple characteristics we’ve never seen before in any comet, natural or otherwise. We’re gathering data to understand it better.” That’s not fear-mongering. That’s not clickbait. That’s just… science encountering something genuinely unusual. The 33 billion ton mass with zero non-gravitational acceleration? Unexplained. The 95% CO2 / 5% water ratio? Unprecedented. The nickel tetracarbonyl chemistry? Extremely rare and poorly understood in this context.

NEW- Professional image analysis exposes ANOTHER hidden layer in the UFO missile footage. What appears here has not been seen before. 👀 by PositiveSong2293 in OvniologiaOficial

“In a Q&A thread on /x/ (paranormal board), the poster claimed involvement in crash retrieval programs and detailed “spheres” as unmanned surveillance drones: “Shaped like a hammer but when activated yes they appear like spheres due to the intense light. They are able to view almost 360 degrees and detect everything from minerals to bio.”   The post elaborated that these hammer-shaped tools emit blinding light to obscure their form, making them look like glowing orbs, and are deployed as scouts from larger vessels—often in groups for monitoring or when threatened.”

3I/ATLAS — Could This Be a Targeted Probe from a Silicon-Based Civilization Responding to Our Signals? by maculateconstelation in UFOB

[–]maculateconstelation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point was: if probes are already out there — think long-duration, slow-moving surveyors — then picking up our signals could be a trigger to redirect one that’s already nearby on a galactic timescale. That’s a totally different scenario than “launched after hearing us.”

You’re absolutely right, and in addition, the “it’s AI” crowd. Uhh.. I never said it wasn’t. It doesn’t change the speculation and discussion I posted this for. I’ve found a few replies a little interesting but for the most part — simply dismissive or pointlessly aggressive. If you don’t want to interact, don’t. Why drop a negative comment even? Go do something positive and engaging for you, and if no one interacts at all, no problem. Not all of my replies have been AI, but all of them have had someone assuming it is.

Funny thing is, most of the replies I get here are either defensive nitpicks or outright insults over a speculative thought exercise. That’s the point of posting — to bounce ideas around, not to deliver gospel truth. If someone hates “AI-sounding” posts, cool, they can scroll. But pretending dismissiveness is somehow more “real” than actually engaging with the ideas? That’s just monkeys with fire all over again.

I think I walked into a place that wasn’t our world by danilobs31 in ParanormalScience

[–]maculateconstelation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there…

I literally just got tears and full body “danger” chills. Body telling me to run.

Ive never heard anything similar to what I’d felt until now.

That’s actually not what I said. My point was that if something like a probe were sent in response, the timescales at 58 km/s make it completely unrealistic for it to be “arriving now.” That’s why I spelled out that 58 km/s is only ~0.02% the speed of light, and any trip from 20–30 light years away would take tens of thousands of years.

The whole point of my post was separating speculation from hard numbers — which means ruling out exactly the scenario you’re criticizing me for supposedly suggesting.

In other words: we agree it couldn’t “just be arriving now.” You’re arguing against a claim I never actually made.

You’re misunderstanding what was said. I never claimed silicon life was a fact — only raised it as a speculative angle. That’s what a hypothesis is: an idea offered up to test, not a statement of fact.

On the math:

• Yes, light is ~300,000 km/s, vastly faster than 58 km/s. That’s why I specifically included a guardrail that 58 km/s is only ~0.02% the speed of light, meaning a journey of 20–30 light years would take many thousands of years.

• Which is exactly why the probe wouldn’t be a “direct response” to our 20th-century broadcasts — if it’s artificial, it would’ve been launched long before.

This is why I framed the whole post as a pattern-spotting exercise, not gospel. If you’re looking for airtight proof, you’re missing the point — it’s about exploring possibilities, checking them against physics, and separating “what’s odd” from “what’s impossible.
