Did I stutter? Protecting your family is protecting your family, now fetch the jumper cables and a lightning rod, we’ve got some identity theft to thwart.

I despise them as much as the next queer liberal but it isn’t just the vile boomers falling for this. Keep an eye on your grandparents, maybe sit down and explain the more common scams and tell them to call you if they get something weird. No banking info over phones, etc.

Season 3 - “Gamera”

It’s got everything you could want. Inexplicably awful children, space travel, a giant rocket powered turtle. My partner and I have been randomly shouting “Capsule!” at each other for many, many years because of that movie, confusing a great many family members in the process. Absolutely wonderful episode.

Yo but at least were getting another Guillaume David album! And a game or something idk…

We can’t do anything except shoot you down. What you want doesn’t exist, not because people are choosing not to create it but because they can’t create it. The ‘paranormal’ isn’t real. Anyone that believes it is is insane, and insane people are not known for their ability to tell compelling stories and hold cameras steadily, nor are they known to pursue and publish media invalidating their own delusions. If you want to see convincingly shot footage, watch the X-Files, it’s a beautiful show. But that’s the best you’re going to get. Because the content you crave does not exist.

In this thread you’ve implied repeatedly that you’re aware of the implausibility of paranormal phenomenon but you’re still going to watch:

“YouTube pranks, edited garbage, and an endless amount of inhumane content”

And if you’re just doing this for amusement, the Why Files does some pretty entertaining stuff reporting on ‘real’ (clarification: these are actual things people believe not just made up for their episode) conspiracies and paranormal events, I can enjoy them even as a skeptic. But if you’re doing this out of actual interest, belief or just to give both sides of the argument a fair shake, I really really really hope that you will take my advice and figure out if this is truly important, or if this is you self-harming out of stubbornness. Because I have been there and it’s really bad for you.

I really think you should reflect on the reason why there is absolutely zero evidence of paranormal phenomenon.

Schrödinger was criticizing the interpretation of quantum mechanics, Tesla generated way more garbage than he did innovations, the Drake equation is a novelty (and Drake repeatedly clarified that it was conjecture until we find any evidence of ETI), SETI is awesome.

Everything you just listed is an example of science investigating the tangible aspects of observed phenomenon.

but no one ever shows proof of anything they claim to be real.

Hmmmmm.

Haven’t been thrown out of enough ambulances.

Its amazing the number of problems in life that can be solved with a $2 harbor freight automatic punch. Speakers especially.

Plumbing. People seriously underestimate the damage a bad leak can do to a structure.

The problem there isn’t the use of the organs, but that they’re murdering someone to harvest the organs.

I’ll admit I’ve never fully understood the relationship between Iran and Lebanon. Naming opposed political parties “March 8” and “March 14” starts to feel like a direct attack on political science students, and it just goes downhill from there…

I appreciate the clarification, though I did intended to reference both groups with that statement (hence referencing acts by both groups). I probably shouldn’t have grouped them under the same name, I admit. It was 5:30am and summarizing the levantine geopolitical situation as it relates to US imperialism is tricky even after I’ve had my coffee…

Yeah alright, fair enough! Crummy that they don’t make that clearer.

At the risk of sounding like the bad sort of lib, Hezbollah hasn’t exactly been sitting around minding their own business for the past four years. I’m frankly stunned the US hasn’t rolled over them in response to the Jan drone attacks in Jordan, or their not-war with Israel (however justified those may have been). An escalation of just harsh language is deeply out of character, and while I hope it continues, the ball seems (surprisingly) to be squarely in Hezbollah’s court at the moment.

Nope they’re right about this one, see below
