lol Didn't some of the released hostages say Israel killed some of them due to their indiscriminate bombing of civilians?

This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.

Overall I think the conversation needs to shift away from "Americans are divided" and instead be shifted towards "The rich are dividing the working class for their personal benefit". They're destroying the planet too. The rich need to be made responsible for what they are doing and suffer the consequences.

I'm tired of hearing about him too but unfortunately Tesla and Twitter are high profile companies. When they are in the news, he is unfortunately associated.

Do Republicans stand for anything besides rolling back progress? They never present any new legislation other than rolling back protections for non-white, non-rich, non-christian, non-males.

Everyone went to Threads to take a look at the brand new thing, but now everyone has seen the new thing they're gone.

And they can't delete their account without deleting their Instagram while also sending their phone's data, including health data, to Meta.

I have my opinions on DeSantis but can we not with the circlejerk images with no sources?

Also fuck DeSantis. Def a fascist.

Apple doesn't give a shit. Any time a corporation "cares" it's for money-making potential only. Starbucks abandoned Pride as soon as it could have affected their profit margins.

I bring this up because it seems to once again be gaining traction in the zeitgeist: I cannot comprehend why UFO hunters put so much time and effort into trying to force governments to "reveal the truth about extraterrestrial contact", but I also cannot fathom how they think aliens even have a chance of successfully contacting us in-person in the first place.

a) Why does anyone believe extraterrestrials would be able to track us down at all? Space is BIG.
b) If aliens knew we existed in the first place, please explain the math of how they'd get here. Even taking Star Trek logic into account and considering warp drive as a possibility, when considering relativity, Newton's third law and the mathematics of achieving the right conditions of either for deep space travel, warp drive still seems implausible.
c) In the mathematically improbable situation where intelligent life did manage to get here, why would they be tiptoeing around in the background for seemingly 80 or so years when they are clearly technologically superior to us and nothing humanity has available to itself could remotely stop them? It seems silly to imagine these incredible lifeforms getting here and then having an "oops we crash landed" event.
d) Lastly, governments successfully covering up such an event(s) for decades is a fairy tale. Governments playing around with flight and stealth technology for the last 100 years? Yeah that seems likely.

Do I think intelligent life exists? Absolutely. Is there a chance those beings have contacted or reached us? 99.9999999% no. Is it fun to speculate about the possibilities and portray those possibilities in stories? Of course. Should people be spending time and money forming organizations to "force the government to tell the truth", thereby wasting everyone else's time and resources and ultimately being drains on society? Absolutely not. I don't get it.

It's really so sad and frustrating for those under the age of 45. Millennials were raised during a time of prosperity and possibilities, only to find out it was all a sham by the selfish, stupid and mostly older generations. Now Millennials, Gen Z and Gen A will reap the outcomes of all that while those who caused it will die off before things get even worse. I harbor no resent towards Gen X, but their refusal to fight the tide certainly didn't help.

unless you put in the ultimate cheat code of having R as your party initial.

Sucks that Republicans are so hellbent on forming a christo-fascist authoritarian regime with the only goal being to pump money into corporations and the wealthy.

Ah yes, it's a Wednesday and rightwingers have checks notes found something else that threatens their fragile egos.
