Lord help any of you who get the stomach bug that's going around. This is awful.

There are a lot of things going around work including Covid. Shitty time of the year

I’m a huge Sydney Sweeney fan even though I have no clue what tv show/movie she’s in.

I saw her in White Lotus. She’s okay.

All of the questionable street food has my immune system in perfect balance, thank you very much.

I got food poisoning at least four times over there. My insides are adamantium now.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I have been here at urgent care for almost two hours.

Sue them for false advertising...

On that same stomach note...pretty certain I got hep A in Mexico from street food but most likely this suspect buffet my gf brought me to....stomach was never the same.

 

[Cody Webster]

Y'all have terrible immune systems.

That was the first time I've been sick in probably 10 years

Paul Verhoeven Says ‘Young Sinner’ to Start Production This Year, an “Erotic Thriller” Set in D.C. — World of Reel

Paul Verhoeven released his excellent “Benedetta” in 2021, but the 85-year-old filmmaker isn’t slowing down. His impressive filmography, which includes “RoboCop,” “Total Recall,” “Starship Troopers” “Basic Instinct” and “Elle,” will be adding another project very soon.

Holy shit. This is actually happening? And it’s written by Ed Neumeier?!

This article is garbage. Basically hand waives away every unexplainable incident as "some secret government project." Kirkpatrick is being paid to discredit Grusch and all of the other evidence.

Yeah it's complete BS....

 

[Jack Straw]

Personally, I find it a little hard to believe that aliens capable of interstellar space travel, something that would require technology we probably can't even imagine, would employ this technology to travel at least 25 trillion miles (the distance to the nearest star but most likely if they're out there... and I think they are... they're farther than that) to our primitive little world only to crash in the desert in New Mexico.

Call me a skeptic.

Kirkpatrick is a clown that has been caught in multiple lies already. Some of his words may be true, but he's got disinfo agent written all over him.

This is healthy skepticism, but only accounts for that specific scenario. Many believe whatever these crafts are have been here for centuries, millennia, or even way longer. It's a tough subject to read/talk about because it's been proven that disinformation runs rampant throughout. I honestly doubt we'll ever get the actual truth, whether "disclosure" happens or not. Something wacky is in the skies, but anyone who says they know the truth is full of shit.

Subsititue "flying around over cornfields in Nebraska" if you prefer. The specific scenario doesn't matter.

By scenario I mean ETs traveling from another planet. That's one of many theories that are out there. I could go on but I know you aren't interested at all anyway so I won't bore you.

I'm actually very interested in extraterrestrial life. I used to participate in the SETI@home project. Like I said, I'm sure they're out there somewhere. I'm equally sure they're not here. But no point in arguing, we all come at it from our own POV.

Edit: Oh, and I work for NASA. So it's kinda sorta almost but not really my job.

I knew you were a NASA guy, the SETI stuff is pretty cool. I'm not trying to argue at all, I just like to have discussions about this stuff and hear all sides. It's something that's interested me since I was a kid and it seems like things are coming to a head the last couple years.

I was there because I hurt my lower back. Got a shot and some meds. There was hardly anyone there. The doc who saw me didn’t send my meds in after he told me they did. Had to call them and question it.

Have you come across Unit 731 yet?

The kind of awful thing with that is the benefits it did provide to mankind after the fact. Data that, nobody with any sort of conscience would want to obtain.

That's the insane part. WWI was the most horrific thing I've ever seen. people's entire job was to go to barbed wire with sheers and get two or three cuts in before they died and they knew that was their job. it was suicide and they knew it.

Couldn't imagine anything worse than that. And then you get WW2 which was somehow astronomically worse

Warfare is pretty much brutal, no matter the time/place.

Man is not nice to his fellow man.

Some of the more vocal people on the topic indicate that they think they aren't necessarily crashes in some cases. They refer to them as Donations, that some of the unmanned versions had been put down on purpose to share the technology or whatever. Grusch indicated at one point that some may have been shot down also. IDK sounds a bit convenient to me.

Also in terms of travel, it depends on the theory that you are referring to....some think they are from another dimension right here and not necessarily extra terrestrial.

What has happened to the Pentagon’s former UFO hunter?

Why would a former Pentagon official continue a long tradition of obfuscation and distortion about the enduring mystery of UFOs?
