    All this negative news about trump everywhere makes me nervous. Don't forget how confident everyone was when Hillary ran. Most, including myself, didn't think trump stood a chance.

    Kamala hasn't won yet. It's still close. And trump has an unswayable cult behind him that see all this negativity as fuel to vote even harder.

    Dont get complacent or overconfident. trump could still win.

    I'm skeptical that the kinds of people that would be swayed to vote for Kamala solely due to Taylor Swifts endorsement, are the kinds of people who see breaking news on NBC.

    It's not breaking news, which was my OP LOL. She could probably have the intended effect on tik tok and Twitter.

    But still, I don't really care, if it gets more votes against trump I'm all for it.

    It ain't breaking news though LOL. Putin launching a nuke is breaking news.

    People jump on the bandwagon of "social media and smartphones are the problem". Most people are sockpuppets, and just repeat this without thought.

    If you mean indirectly, then maybe.

    I think the problem is late stage capitalism, the increase in exploitation and cheating just to get money, and the real and encroaching fear of fascism or fascism-lite.

    Inflation is increasing. Cost of living, housing, food and essentials are rising. Overtime culture is on the rise. Why would I be happy when the outlook for most of us is shit? I have to work long hours just to survive and there's no escape. Buy a house, go into debt for 30 years with the knowledge that the bank is getting massive amounts of free money in the form of interest, and they provide no service other than allowing you to pay an overpriced principal over thirty fucking years.

    Work until I'm 67? What's the point? It's time to die at that point as ill be too old and who gives a shit anyway. I'm supposed to be appreciative of my 3 weeks PTO per year, that's when I can go have fun and enjoy life, after that back to working unpaid overtime for a billionaire investor or CEO or whatever.

    Maybe social media and smartphones are helping the young see how shit and hopeless our society is. Unless you can figure out how to be a celebrity, or an investor, or a landlord/landowner, you're stuck working a shit job until you're old and life is gone. Why the shit fuck would people be happy and want to have kids?

    many Gambian villagers see girls who are not cut as unclean, and unreligious. These girls often become social outcasts. No man will marry them

    And then there was the sexual desire of women who still had clitorises, which many people in Bakadaji thought was a huge problem...Cutting girls prevented them from cheating on their husbands.

    Religion/superstition is a cancer that needs to be eradicated.

    foreign leaders treated Trump like a "chump" and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego.

    Flattery and pomp from leaders like Xi, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Russian president Vladimir V. Putin seem to have been all that was required to get in Trump’s good graces

    Under no circumstances should this imbecile be allowed to be president, of anything, ever.

    I am very much pro-disclosure. However, Mick West has some convincing arguments about how Elizondo got many of the technical details wrong regarding the most well known UAP videos. This, West argues, brings all other claims Elizondo makes into question. Personally I would like to see Elizondos response to Wests recent criticism.

    Hypothetical explanation of the physics/technology of how the UFOs move the way they do, and how they could traverse vast distances instantaneously. The speaker also tells about his experience aboard a submarine. Apparently submariners detect "fast movers" often. They log the data but mostly ignore it, but won't discuss it publicly. If true, the navy probably have lots of data that could be very interesting that the public doesn't know about. Not disclosure related but I thought this talk was interesting and he's a good speaker, for anyone that has 90mins to burn.

    This DLC is absolutely amazing. Might even be better than the base game. That being said, Jori is killing me. I can't barely get him down to 50%. Using my mimic tear of course. Without giving too much info on my build, most bosses so far haven't been bad. Renalla was hardest so far but only took 5-10 tries. I want this last map and must get through Jori to get it. Harder than malenia imo. I'm over leveled- in the 450s. NG+3 or 4. Any recommendations on Jori?? Help! I'm on XSX. EDIT: > Harder than malenia imo I'm an idiot.

    UK’s top UFO expert shares one major fallout from finding aliens metro.co.uk

    > The discovery of alien life could turbocharge religious division and hatred, the UK’s leading UFO expert has warned. I think this idea is pretty legitimate. People in first world societies, with generally decent minimal education, will mostly be ok, maybe. We forget that a majority of the 8 billion people on the planet live in 3rd world conditions, significantly less or no education, and lots of severe religious indoctrination. There are still countries that execute people for apostasy. We're not certain it would be all bad, but it's not a topic to dismiss. The possibility of societal disruption due to real disclosure resulting in any disruption to say, the economy, for whatever reasons, could be a reason the powers that be don't want to disclose. Maybe the risk is too great in their view. Just speculating obviously.

    Saw this on reddit. I still remain kind of skeptical but think all this is really interesting. His comment that he has conversations where they're all saying the public "can't handle" whatever it is, is something I think about a lot. With my cynacism i feel that we, the public, kind of are just cattle to the elites and super wealthy. Our purpose is to work and to buy stuff, which is the foundation to their wealth and power. Much better to keep us as dumb and ignorant as possible. Such a huge portion of the public is obsessed with celebrity gossip, sports, religious nonsense, etc. A full disclosure that intelligent alien species exist and are here, would either be painful and debilitating to a large portion of people (fundamentalist religious people, the world over), or change other people to start thinking at a higher level other than just celebrity and sports shit, or how to get money to buy the next new gadget or token of status. If people start thinking, we've been being lied to by those in power, what else is there? Why does Kim Kardashian deserve to be a billionaire, when millions of children die of starvation every year? Why does someone have to work 40hrs a week in a factory doing manual labor that could be easily automated by AI or robotics (because it's cheaper for the human to do it), etc., etc. My comment might be tangent from the UFO topic, but it's what I think of why they don't want to disclose, or at least a possibility.
