And they’re only allowed to age 2 years during shooting.

Not to hate because we’re still enjoying it, but does anyone else feel like the show generally fails to capture this kind of feeling from the comic? I feel like the comic does a great job of pointing out the sheer absurdity of so much human activity, while the show seems to be more of a generic sitcom with strangely-dictating aliens instead of humans.

Rudy has gained huge amounts in the shadows that we have not ever heard about. His accounts in Lichtenstein and the Caymans are probably pretty fat and happy these days, and not even RICO can touch that. I wouldn’t count on this being anything other than more distraction.

Yes, streams of piss-soaked garbage content such as Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. They and their fans are braindead morons that are driving the dumbing-down effect that they themselves want to complain about.

EDIT: Also given Levi’s controversial opinions, which he readily claims he has lifted directly from aforementioned podcasters, we should probably be concerned as to what he considers “garbage.”

Strong argument in favor of bringing back CRTs.

He actually put in effort to pack the court in favor of the Republicans. Of course he wants a ROI.

80 to 340 tons is a significant range. Sounds more like they’re trying to build hype than they actually know.

You know, I do wonder what the map of cell phone and camera sales would look like overlaid onto this…

Huh. I have not modified my kbin in any way, shape, or form, just opened the desktop site on Firefox. I was assuming you needed scripts to make it more user-friendly, honestly, but it seems alright.

As long as it’s free to the public, I’m here for it. They’re a government agency, if they try to make this a paid subscription, we need to revolt immediately.

EDIT: I found it! It’s on the bottom right and not actually a part of the thumbnail. Thank you for your assistance.

Well, I posted a fun write up here in the comments about why this is cool and what we should really expect from this. Spent like an hour and a half on it, since I’ve been following this topic closely. Thanks for apparently losing it in transit, kbin.

Takeaway, now that I’m bitter and don’t want to try and recreate it:

What’s new:

Grusch and the others using a new whistleblower hotline. The military has released videos it claims are of unknown technology, and are doubling down that the videos are real. Matt Gaetz, putting politics cautiously aside, just stated on official record that he directly saw evidence of UAPs that has been hidden by the government. This means people that actually have something to lose are coming forward and making extraordinary claims.

The truth:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and all whistleblowers involved readily admit they only have hearsay to bring the table. None of them witnessed any real evidence first-hand in a substantial fashion. Grusch claims he knows a number of specific names and places, but he’s not telling. Nothing else has been confirmed.

What we can hope for:

Let’s see them aliens already.

What we should hope for:

Investigations into the trillions of dollars “lost” by the Pentagon. Some accountability would be fantastic.

What we will probably get:

[REDACTED]

Cool that such striking testimonies were entered into official record. Future investigations should continue to be interesting, and it’s always good to see bipartisan support anywhere in congress. UFOs/UAPs are a fun topic, even if there are still likely terrestrial explanations such as adversarial weapons we don’t know about.

Stargate yes, Star Trek no.

I’m pretty pissed they tied UAP declassification in with this agenda garbage. The one thing that was both interesting and bipartisan, and they had to shit it up.

This was made back before Jared was found out, when the Taco Bell dog was still alive. Luckily those were unrelated.

I browse on desktop, therefore at this point in time, I use kbin. All other UIs I’ve found in the fediverse are pretty bad by comparison. Way too much garbage on the screen on most of them, and lemmy.world has an auto-updating scroll that you can’t disable that I suspect is also a memory leak.
