*and cancerous (like the comments)

I have only had 2 vehicles so far in my life, but my Audi Q5 definitely takes the cake.

I never would've been able to afford one normally, but I was smart and took advantage of the covid lock down. Car dealers were considered essential businesses, and I decided it was the right time when I learned car sales were down over 40% across the US.

I was right, and they were desperate. If I had waited a few months, that car would have been completely unaffordable to me with how insane car prices got/still are.

My stance is still a hard fuck no to Threads entering the fediverse.

Edit: My reasoning can be read in my old comment here. It's all still applicable in regard to meta/Threads federating.

There's no logical reason to give them the benefit of the doubt or have unrealistically positive expectations given their overwhelmingly consistent track record.

The absolute worst artificial flavoring to me is banana Runts. Literally gag-inducing. Someone showed me banana vodka they said tasted like it and I wanted to puke just imagining it....

Damn, that is so similar..

Thanks for the TIL.

Kendall Almerico, an attorney for the brewery, disagreed.

“Our company is made up of 9,500 people that are white, Black, Hispanic,” Almerico said, referring to the number of shareholders. “We have gay couples, lesbian couples. We have every single — anything you can imagine — in this company. Just like the United States military does.”

That language use not only sounds like bogus justification for thinly veiled bigotry, but it sounds like a disjointed sentence trump would mutter..

This is what happens when you're an incompetent dictator/military whose only strategies are war crimes/genocide and throwing numbers into the meat grinder.

They try to take entrenched Ukrainain positions by throwing 100s at them to be slaughtered, hoping they will overrun them. If that fails, they try again! They literally have been sending their prison population to the front line to be meat shields for their infantry.

The fact that they have to supplement their infantry with prisoners tells you all you need to know about their incompetency and how dire their situation is.

This is why we need continued/more support for Ukraine. I want this to be over for them as soon as possible, but the US/NATO should see the strategic advantage of russia continuing to exhaust their resources and military/prison population being thrown into the meat grinder in Ukraine. The longer russia wages war with Ukraine, the more definitively impossible it becomes for them to invade any NATO nations.

I mean, let's be real.. it's already an impossibility for russia to wage war with the US or European NATO countries alone... But it doesn't make any strategic sense to stop supporting Ukraine in a fight against our greatest enemy, who continues to threaten their neighbors with invasion. Let them further erode their military, munitions, and resources. Then maybe they won't be able to commit/assist in genocides like they have in Syria.

The Republicans fighting aid bills for Ukraine are just traitors. It's in the world's best interest to support Ukraine.

Don't forget the brain drain once they officially declared war (special military operation) against Ukraine. There was a mass exodus of scholars and intellectuals not wanting to be trapped in russia.

The kind of person who overdoses on bovine/equus de-wormer?

I hate to be the one to make a useless comment, but that name...

Can't not think of a fusion of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Yeah it certainly takes a while to reduce the stigma in situations like this. This subject is so heavily and systematically stigmatized.

The Robertson Panel determined our government agencies should gaslight us on the subject to avoid mass hysteria that the Soviets could exploit to cause panic (think along the lines of The War of the Worlds radio broadcast panic).

It'll take years to make progress reducing the stigma, but scientists and both commercial and military pilots around the world are beginning to facilitate that shift by providing their testimonies.

Edit: nice username by the way.

I've assumed that it didn't get renewed seeing as how there hasn't been another season. such a shame.. Honestly surprised it wasn't more popular.

The metal from the rock in the Falcon Lake incident was a piece of scrap metal that was already on the rock when the alleged craft landed on it, and partially melted it into some cracks in the rock.

The scrap metal was definitely human scrap metal, nothing special. But it was partially melted into the rock and irradiated.

I also find it intriguing that the Falcon Lake craft was apparently very hot, whereas we have modern thermal readings indicating modern UAP are very cold. The UAP of the Nimitz Event is one such example.

Eh, I'm happy breaking through to a handful amid a hundred. I don't care about downvotes. To me, it's just a display of ignorance and avoidance here.

I've convinced a decent few people with that write-up so far. Went out of my way to use credible sources and stay away from alien/abduction claims. The witnesses directly quoted are all from within our military and government.

I believe most rational skeptics would be compelled to believe there is truth to UAP (not necessarily aliens..) if they read it. Problem is getting people to read it. Seriously feels like Don't Look Up.

To your AOC edit, the kind of thing I believe she is referring to are secret projects like USAF Project 1794 that could involve modern contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Ha! I appreciate it. I stay far away from abduction stories and stick with declassified documents and former military/DoD/Intelligence officials.

I ultimately believe UAP are real objects, but their origin is total speculation. Could be secret government tech. I personally can't rule out non-human intelligence, but there's no evidence of that. But there is evidence that UAP are real objects under intelligent control, possessing disruptive/breakthrough technology.

If you read the information in that link, there were crafts in our atmosphere beginning in 1947, which had capabilities that outperform our current (publicly disclosed) most advanced aircraft. The performance capabilities included speeds of thousands of miles per hour, 90-degree turns, instantaneous acceleration, and silent operation.

Many of these sightings around the world were accompanied by radar which confirmed the visual observations. Some have left detectable levels of radiation. All of this is cited in that link. Also in that link is the Nimitz Event, in which a UAP outperformed F/A-18F Superhornets and left the Top Gun pilots shaken.

I'm not stating this is technology from outside our planet. I'm not saying this can't be human technology. Look at Project 1794 in that link. That was the United States Airforce's secret contract to Avro Aircraft to build a literal 'flying saucer' powered by 6 Siddeley Viper turbo-jet engines.

It's important to note, however, that the aircraft from Project 1794 was not capable of the performance capabilities of the UAP/UFO that began being mass sighted around the world in 1947.

So either we have kept aircraft technology so far advanced that it outperforms modern declassified tech secret since 1947, or something else might be responsible.

Certainly not explicit evidence of intelligent life, but the UAP situation makes me wonder. I have compiled a tremendous amount of evidence supporting the claim that UAP/UFO are real intelligently controlled objects. Once again, because often people cannot separate the two, this does not prove aliens are real/that is not my argument.

The sources of information are all legitimate and you can verify them for yourself. I sourced the actual government documents from the National Archives. There's no debating the authenticity of the documents. I also included bipartisan quotes supporting the topic, including Schumer and AOC. There is also verified goverment footage of UAP.

For the people whose first instinct is to mislabel me as a crackpot and ignore the link: If you are so sure of yourself, I challenge you to read it and see if you think I'm crazy. You wouldn't say that about other pieces I write. I'm about to start my Master's in Clinical Counseling. I'm not some wild conspiracy theorist.

The amount of denial to the point where people won't even consider evaluating evidence feels like Don't Look Up.

Edit: This is an excerpt from my post for those who are so sure of themselves to consider:

I admit I had difficulty suspending my disbelief in the possibility of UAP, but there is an important example from history that ought to give the skeptic pause in unilaterally dismissing this subject before reading on. I'm referring to the discovery of handwashing, in which everyone originally rejected the antiseptic procedure and surgeons didn't even wash their hands prior to operation.

Despite his research, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand that may have been caused by the beating. [43]

Like Semmelweis' research, this subject is being discounted and rejected on the basis of preexisting beliefs; not lack of reasonable evidence or ability to to study UAP. And like Semmelweis, rational individuals and scientists studying this subject are being mislabeled as crackpots, and their research misconstrued to have to do with aliens, rather than the very real phenomenon at hand.

Are you directing this at me? If so, a swing and a miss.

I do not feel entitled to your organs. I feel that people ought to donate them, and that those who do not donate are inherently selfish.

Big difference. Be a decent human being and share your organs when you die, so that others can live. Let's use analogy so you can see how inherently selfish this is.

Suppose you have eaten until you're full and decide you don't want the rest. Since you have no more use for the food, you will throw it away in your garbage can at home.

But then you come across 3 or 4 other people who are starving to death, and your food makes the difference between life and death for them.

Do you feel morally compelled to stop and share this food, which has no more use for you? Do you feel like a piece of shit imaging driving past them to throw the food away in your garbage can?
