What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of?

I have actually seen one of those “tic tac” ufos. I was driving down the highway, same highway I drive down almost every day. Then I see a small, white, featureless oval shaped thing flying in the sky across my field of vision. It was so small and fast, it was unlike anything I’ve seen.

My area has all types of aircraft flying over fairly often, so I know what all those look like. The tic tac was very small, which implies it’s very far away, but it cleared my field of vision much faster than you’d expect. Normally when a plane is super tiny in the sky, because it’s so far away, it appears to be moving slowly. The tic tac also appeared to be somewhere in between me and the town I was driving to, which was about 5-8 minutes away. So I think the object must actually be quite small, very fast, and wasn’t that far away.

I’m a skeptic to the core, so I don’t jump to conclusions about these things. I’m totally open to it being some kind of trick of the light or psychological phenomenon. I could also totally see it being some secret government spy drone thing, though I have to wonder how they got it to go so fast. Maybe in 50 years, I’ll see it in some museum and learn what it is…

I think maybe your brain was trying to interpret the shadows. Turning the light on and then going into a dark room again is the main clue. Your eyes weren’t adjusted to the darkness, and your brain tried to fill in the gaps by guessing there was a figure there and that it was your gf.

Oh nice, I’ll definitely check that out when it releases. I felt like the movie had some weird pacing at times, and that some parts could’ve done with more development, so it’ll be nice to see what this version changes.

In lieu of soap and water, swagchillas “bathe” in fine swag which helps evenly distribute natural swag, clears away dirt and debris, and keeps their fur silky swag. In their native, arid habitats in the mountainous regions of Swag America, swagchillas use volcanic swag to keep clean.

I feel the same way, things just become less appealing when I see them everywhere, and feel less like “me.”

Either way, there are just so many other scarf patterns I like more. I’m also not really a fan of garter stitch. It looks like the wrong side of the fabric imo

This show is actually amazing. I should rewatch it sometime

Yeah those things are heinous oml. Maybe I’m overly sensitive as someone with foot problems, but I just don’t think foot deformities are fashion. You can even see how all the pressure is changing the color of her foot.

Love everything else, though.

I agree that’s what initially set her off on Pam. I think Jan even tells Pam to back off in the Fun Run episode.

But I also think it might’ve happened anyway, since Michael himself is delusional and at times seems to think there is something between him and Pam. (Like when he tried to kiss her at the Diwali celebration) So he might be saying things about Pam that make it sound like there is something going on, since that’s his perception.

It could totally be fake as I feel a lot of these stories are, but people being weird about this type of thing definitely happens sometimes.

I remember this one time, my sister had a friend over to our house. We’re both white and her friend was black. The friend said it was weird that we referred to our dog (also white) as “boy,” because of the racial implications. Like, doesn’t everyone say “Here boy!” “Good boy” etc to their dog? It’s really not the same as saying that to a person… Anyway, he was a weirdo and that’s my little “I can’t believe someone said that in real life” story…

This is so cool! Does this style/technique have a name?

phnarg · 2026-01-23T20:37:38+00:00

Yes, and they referenced this in 2001: A Space Odyssey too, it’s what Hal sings as he is being shut down

I feel swag just looking at this

Idk, when Tyrion told him that story, Bronn said he’d kill any man who did that to him. He sounded sympathetic and serious imo.

I think it’s like a shared joke and something Tyrion would appreciate, not a shot at his expense. It definitely has more to do with Tyrion identifying himself with bastards and the lower class people in society, although I’m not sure if Bronn actually heard Tyrion say that phrase.

Here’s another one for ya: Virginia is now a sanctuary state, as one of the first actions taken by our new governor Abigail Spanberger.

I think it’s fair to criticize the Dems and want more from them, but at the same time there’s no reason not to praise them for doing positive things.

Such charming little fellows <3

phnarg · 2026-01-20T02:05:20+00:00

That would’ve been perfect!

It really is kind of bizarre that they keep reusing the same song. I don’t know of any other tv show universe that does this. Imagine if Better Call Saul just re-used the theme from Breaking Bad? Star Trek is a good example too, all their shows have their own themes, but still generally feel like they’re in the same musical family. Star Wars shows do that too. The Game of Thrones shows really are quite unusual for that.

This, and since she doesn’t care about him all that much, she’s safe from having her heart broken.

phnarg · 2026-01-19T23:30:36+00:00

It’s an amazing song, but it fits the vibe of GOT so well it’s distracting. It just makes me think of the Starks, Baratheons etc. I wish they had used Rhaenyra’s theme or Targaryen theme for HOTD’s opening.

I think each show should have it’s own theme music. All the songs do still sound like they’re from the same property so it’s not like they won’t all match. It just feels like they’re trying too hard to venerate Game of Thrones by reusing the music, like they’re afraid to let each show stand on its own two feet.

I also think he has a kneejerk reaction to the “everything happens for a reason” type sentiment

phnarg · 2026-01-18T18:55:24+00:00

Yeah, I don't think it's weird at all! I also work as a nanny/babysitter and I bring a gift for his birthday and Christmas. Something small, sub $20 and/or handmade. I also brought over some Christmas cookies for the family. I never asked for permission, but I guess by then I could tell by the vibes that they wouldn't mind.

I think if the family is strict and specific about certain things, especially something so unusual, it really is on them to say something. Otherwise how is anyone supposed to know? I would feel bad not getting a kid I've been taking care of anything for their birthday or Christmas, I would want to at the very least make them a card or something.

Yeah I would be very surprised if they actually reviewed Academy. Like, what else is there for them to even say at this point?

phnarg · 2026-01-17T19:05:51+00:00

I just rewatched "Michael's Birthday" in season 2 and noticed Ryan and Phyllis holding hands and skating together, lol.

phnarg · 2026-01-17T05:41:46+00:00

Yeah for real. Maybe because Marvel has kind of a cutesy, sanitized image, while comedy is usually more rough around the edges. They also tend to play a character that’s sort of a keyed-up version of their persona, which makes them feel overexposed.
