    This kind of meme is disheartening seeing on Lemmy, that’s supposed to be full of open minded people. And I write that as someone who saw a real UFO in 1990 in Greece, together with others. The tech in 1990 was not there for the US to create a silent, gravity-defying, appearing and disappearing in-front-of-our-eyes vehicle. So this meme, AND the comments from the other lemmy posts in the last 2 days about the recent ufo events are rather insulting to me. The phenomenon is real.

    Edit: Also, I don’t understand the downvotes! You downvote anything you find going against your grain? My experience is my experience and it’s equally as valid!

    The only way we’re going to solve the climate crisis is through bloodshed (in Minecraft), I guarantee it. There’s too much money in it for anyone to willingly give up their golden goose. However, most people don’t want to kill each other and most people especially don’t want to be the first person to pull the trigger, because those people rarely live to see the fruits of their labor (in Minecraft). As such, might as well pretend there’s a potential alternative that doesn’t involve murdering people (in Minecraft).

      When more areas become unlivable due to temperature or rising sea levels, and more harvests start failing due to extreme weather, shit will get real fast.

        They’ve already started using razor wire traps in the Rio Grande to murder refugees fleeing the tropics.

        Clock is ticking until they deploy landmines.

            There are already instances of sheriffs deputizing citizens to help “police the border.”

            Now the psychos who couldn’t actually get a job doing this shit are allowed to do it for free.

    I like the interpretation that the UFO news is the equivalent of casual Friday for Congress. Everyone gets to wear silly hats and play pretend for a few hours, it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.

        Well sure, but the Pentagon can get as much money as it wants whenever it wants. There’s no need to make up shit about aliums.

        This is just for fun.

    The problem is there seems to be a group of career Military bureaucrats and private contractors who are working on something they are not willing to share with Congress and diverting budget money to fund their little side project.

    Maybe it’s aliens? I have my doubts, but whatever is happening is outside the law and needs to be rooted out. These people were not elected and don’t get to decide what Congress can and cannot have access to.
