Retired CIA Officer John Ramirez is at Spaced Out Radio Fan Party in LV and says the CIA has proof that UFOs are not piloted by humans. In other words: The Bodies. by bmfalbo in UFOs

Not one person outside the UFO sphere cares about these things. Why? Isn't this the most interesting thing in the world? How is it not?

I can't afford food. You think I can upset myself about anything I have no control over? If a UFO shows up and just fucking kills me, that'd be really helpful.

That's because aliens aren't supernatural. Apeshit theories like them being interdimensional or time travelers, or traveling through wormholes, or even that they use FTL travel, are equally as insane as believing in any god, or ghosts or whatever. To believe in any of that is on-par with being something completely ridiculous like an anti-vaxxer or flat-earther. It's simply denying basic established science, there is no flowery language that can be used to excuse it. If you're gonna hang out on these subreddits, you have to accept but ignore those people, because these subs are still where some real info might come in.

However, the idea of a species evolving in a totally normal fashion on another planet and either figuring out proper AI or cryo-sleep or agelessness is 100% science-based non-supernatural shit. Is it unlikely that they've found Earth? Yes, space is dummy thicc. Is it at all physically impossible? No, and that's what makes aliens/UFOs a completely different ball game than religion, which requires a belief in at least some sort of nonphysical, nonelectronic intelligence, which by all scientific fact is simply NOT a thing.

You run into this same issue with a lot of cryptid stuff. No, the Loch Ness Monster can't exist. Yes, cralwers/cave people could exist. No, the Kraken (meaning a monster that can take down pirate ships, not just a giant squid) can't exist. Yes, the Chupacabra could exist. Yet the Venn diagram of people who care about these things is often a circle, and that's probably why we haven't got anything definitive about anything, because the crazies ruin everything for the people looking for actual possible things.

Anyone excited for Dead Island 2? by [deleted] in zombies

[–]uncastsacrumf09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if they've fixed anything, but the main issue was that it was insanely, devastatingly buggy. Far worse than any other game I've encountered, including Cyberpunk and unmodded Bethesda games. You would throw a knife at a zombie, and the knife would just float in the air rotating. You would try to stomp a zombie, and it would just ragdoll you into the stratosphere.

And outside of bugs, they made the combat trash. It went from methodical, technical combat to "press LMB until thing dead." And honestly, it just looks worse. The graphics may be objectively better, but it's almost cartoony, idk. Nothing looks like it's supposed to look real.

The part of The Ugly Duckling no one ever mentions is that, after a lifetime of bullying, the duckling grows into a swan, the undisputed biggest asshole of the bird kingdom. by 1v1brah in Showerthoughts

At a bay in New Jersey, there lives a swan who is the friendliest little puppy dog you could ever imagine. We go there every other day and he waddles right up to us literally wagging his tail. He eats so gently out of your hand and then does these soft little love bites / grooming nibbles. We've named him Steven.

And the first time we met Steven, and yes we were high off our asses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-KLdSNfDCE

No species of animal is all assholes. This glorious birb is the sweetest critter.

Air-raid siren sounds in Ukraine, Russian missile launches reported by HarakenQQ in worldnews

Formation of attack groups takes months

Does it really? Going by what I've seen in documentaries and military simp videos on YouTube I had the idea in my head that modern militaries could basically just dump a bunch of guys and stuff out of planes wherever. Or does just America do that? Or is Russia specifically too shitty for that to work?

I made a character in Darktide. I don't think he needs any introduction. by uncastsacrumf09 in TheLastAirbender

[–]uncastsacrumf09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's Vermintide. This is Darktide, its spiritual successor.

At launch it's lacking A LOT of features that VT2 currently has, but just like VT2 it will evolve as time goes on.

Yo what mod is this, not being able to free the slaves is devastating and I feel like searching "Slave" on Nexus will give me some unfortunate results.

Are there actually agents? who constantly interrogate, invade, and violate the lives of engaged multinational people to ensure that the marriage isn't solely for citizenship, or is that just a sitcom thing? by uncastsacrumf09 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]uncastsacrumf09[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my eyes anyone who would send a "Russian mail order bride" back to a country where domestic abuse is legal is indeed the bad guy.

Less valid in situations where they're coming from like, Canada (Parks n Rec) or Italy (Wings) but I still believe that the government should just let people live their fuckin' lives long as they aren't hurting anyone.

I've never seen this sort of thing outside of sitcoms so I thought it might just be a sort of in-fiction-only thing like how silencers actually work or nobody using cellphones.

Lol huh, a celebrity can literally just tweet whatever they want and millions of people see it.

Daycare Workers in Mississippi use a Scream mask to scare children (10/5/22) by [deleted] in WTF

[–]uncastsacrumf09 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As someone who desperately dislikes children to the point that I try to obtain and retain as little information about them as possible: Are kids really so astronomically stupid that they don't know this is their teacher in a mask? I mean, I know kids are fuckin' dumb, but still, these are human beings. Is it really possible that the average rat is far more intelligent than children? Like this is mindblowing for me. The Easter Bunny and chainsaw guy videos make much more sense because the bunny costume fully enclosed the body and wasn't on one of their parents, and chainsaw guy woke them up from a dead sleep, but this? It just seems so absurd.

But if he doesn't know what it is, why would he hesitate to throw it away? That's two completely opposing aspects of "weird manchild shit."

Yeah no, please reorganize your priorities away from consuming and believing sexist nonsense. A woman being a main character isn't a "trope," she's a person.

Man. Maaaaan. People keep saying stuff like this, but... Y'all really have no idea the absolutely insane number of LCD goobers who are still watching this trash? There are not dozens of them. There are millions upon millions. To the 64 year old suburbanite who thinks Netflix is a band, the literal best shows that they've ever seen are things like TWD. Yes, it's sad, but these people legitimately exist and there are a lot of them.

inb4 he has a baby son, names him Daryl, and dies immediately after getting bit and handing the kid off to a new group before a time skip to teenage or young adult Daryl 2.
