Sorry, but in my book, nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies random violence. Your justification of it sickens me and I'm surprised that you got so upvoted. I've been on the breaking point from things that were happening inside my own home as a kid, but I never took it on my little brother, or other kids. Instead, I was taking it against the actual aggressor (my father), even if it resulted in more beatings and hairline broken jaws, and put the knife, or the gun on my head. So, yes, I've been through some shit myself. But I protected my brother and my mother as much as I could. Doing random violence, as you described it, against people who might have their own cross to bear is not justified. EVER.

And yes. They CAN act against Bezos, Musk, and the board of Exxon. They can easily find where these people are, paparazzis certainly can. Every second day we have pictures of Bezos with his darling gf. Get organized so the locals can take it against him when he visits somewhere. But you don't act against your fellow citizen who is also a victim of oppression and climate change, or destroy classic works of art. What kind of BS is that??

I will start by saying that I dislike most of what History channel is putting out there (e.g. Ancient Aliens), and I always had a dislike for the nearly laughable claims of the Skinwalker ranch books (e.g. the dino-beaver!).

However, now that the Ranch is under new management, some new things have come forward that make more sense than the outlandish old claims. So one evening I was bored and started watching the Secret of the Skinwalker Ranch on Hulu.

In the 4 seasons (3 on Hulu, and the new 4th one I purchased, since I don't have cable), quite some extraordinary things have been shared: compasses not working, constant equipment failures, UAPs in the sky the moment experiments were done, directed radiation, time dilation, and invisible anomalies hanging in the air (one at ~30 ft, and one at ~10000ft) that they measured their effects on.

For me, the two most interesting things they've found are these:

  • A system of tunnels under the ground, that go all the way in the mesa/plateau. When trying to dig to them, the drill goes through the ground like butter, but when arriving at one of the tunnel, it can't penetrate it. When the drill is removed, its teeth are not eaten out, as you would expect from a hard substance. It's as if it's a spongy force field, rather than diamonds...

  • At the suspending anomaly, they tried to put telescopes to lock into a star, so when the star would pass behind the anomaly, they would see if light is bend or not (that would indicate something cloaked). Well, when they did that (s3, e4) the telescope would lose its database the moment that it would turn towards the anomaly. These telescopes were not internet connected, so whatever was going on, it was affecting its EPROM chips. When manually turning the telescope away, the software would work again. In more than one occasion the experiments were interfered with, and the phenomena would get more aggressive when new experiments were to be done.

Now, I know what you're thinking. It's a reality show. And these are usually scripted. But I dare say, not in this case. The new owner of the Ranch is hellbent to find otherworld creatures (for his own reasons, some of them religious), and he's serious about it. The rest of the cast there is serious when interviewed outside of the show. When a debunker from NYPost visited them and asked to camp alone on the property, they were genuinely extremely concerned about him, and he had a health waiver signed.

Travis Taylor PhD, their main scientist in the project, who is also part of the Pentagon UAP task force, is adamant that whatever we see on the show, is real. Not only that, but History Channel had to remove some happenings, because they were too disturbing. E.g. Taylor was hit by radiation, got radiation burns and was sick for a week (peeing brown), losing hair, while no one next to him did when it happened (directed beam?). In other occasions he was throwing up and feeling bad right prior to an experiment, but when he entered a Faraday cage, the problems were disappearing. The moment he was coming out of it, he was sick again.

A camera crew member quit over those things.

So I'd like to ask the community here to give a second look at the show, at least seasons 2-4 (first one was a bit boring as a season). I think that there's something going on there for sure. And unfortunately, the show is all we are gonna get, because I don't see them publishing any peer reviewed research papers, since the show seems to have a US intelligence component to it behind the scenes, and its findings will be kept under lock and key (as it happened with Bigelow).

If I had to make my own guess, I'd say that we're looking at 4th dimensional objects being embedded in and out of the mesa there. We can see their effects with instrumentation, but not directly with our eyes. There are many abductee reports that they reported that they were escorted into bases deep on Earth, were tests performed on them. I think that the Ranch is one of these alien bases (and if there's one, it means that there are others too elsewhere).

I don't buy the main theory by Travis Taylor that this is a natural wormhole (in fact, I'd call that theory of his to be disinformation). The phenomenon there has intelligence and it interacts every time there's experiments to be done. That feels like an alien base to me, that has security measures. All the ghosts, skin walkers, and dino-beavers(!) that were reported in the past, they're probably just AI-driven security measures that interact with the consciousness of the surrounding people, to keep them at bay. Up until Bigelow, these things were passing as real things because ppl believed in them, but now under the new regime at the Ranch, where they are more straight and narrow with their science, NONE of the monster things are happening. Instead, we see direct interference with their experimentation, and direct attacks on the principal scientist. The phenomenon itself had to adapt.

There is interoperability between PixelFed and Mastodon for sure. I often get a lot of likes from there, rather than PixelFed itself.

My favorite is PixelFed. I'm an artist, so Instagram was important for me, but for a few years now it's absolutely terrible (no reach at all with their special algorithms). PixelFed fixes all that, it replicates the feeling of IG as it was 8-10 years ago: chronological feed, tag-based, no extraneous features. I'm really enjoying it, as I can finally grow again my followship as an artist: https://pixelfed.org/

Is it on f-droid? I don't have google play store, I run a totally degoogled phone.

I grew up very poor in Greece, and my mom used to give us a slice of bread that had poured white sugar on it, and... olive oil. It was many years later that I realized that these were deconstructed donuts.

I always use the subscription feed, in fact, my custom homepage has a link to specifically that page. However, my husband didn't even notice that there was such an option and only uses the recommended feed (we talked about it recently). I personally can't stand recommendation engines. These have destroyed my art business in social media platforms. I need chronological.

I don't like infinite scrolling. It's resource heavy after a while.

[-] eugenia@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I have two personas. One with a google phone with FB (to talk to my mom to Greece), and a macbook. And another with a de-googled Murena eOS phone and Linux laptop. One of these two personas will die once I move to Greece next year. I don't mind not being able to talk to friends on FB or IG. If they want to find me, there's email, or they can join federated social media. I won't miss them.

Dark themes are not as readable for me.

Maybe some bigger subreddits are dying, but the UFOs and Experiencers subreddits are as active as ever, if not more. I guess these remain big there because these subjects are very censored in other social media (e.g. youtube) and never show up in search results (they show only videos from tv news). Reddit also censors them (e.g. some posts that contain more info than usual), but you can still see these posts when you go to these subreddits directly.

I've had a number of weird things happening in my life: I saw a UFO in the early 1990s, then I had an abduction experience in 2000, and at the age of 40, the lucid dreams started where I had a continuous interaction with these entities until 2018 (that's when we had a fallout!). I wrote about it in more detail in another sublem (link in my history). I'm curious if you have a similar story, or other paranormal story to share?

Love PixelFed, I just like chronological and tag based systems. This way every user gets an equal opportunity to be seen. Unlike what's happening with recommendation systems, where only a few super stars are pushed by the algorithms. If anyone like traditional illustrations, here's my profile: https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/495699973550816234

XMPP was better known as Jabber back in the day, and most of us used Pidgin to connect to it. I used it for about 10 years or so.
