Aside from Starlink satellite strings, the other thing going on is a lot of people shooting video and not understanding how video works -- flying consumer drones through the wilderness and mistaking insects coming toward the lens for mystery objects, or forgetting that images are often highly processed and compressed before they show up on their screens.

It’s pretty funny that if you did this to scale it probably would work. Most local votes people have absolutely no fucking clue who the names are for many positions. If you simply were remembered as “that person who gave me a chocolate eclair” you’d probably win by landslide without ever doing any campaigning lmfao

Nobody should be laughing at the hypothesis that these craft are not from here.

We are so confident, yet we, just like everything else in the universe, are just floating out here. We aren't cloaked. We aren't special. We are one of many planets, with a very young race compared to most things here. It's not outside of reason to have an older, more tech savvy race having developed FTL travel and have come here. For all we know, a race could have had their '2022' 50,000 years ago.

Not sure I agree with the headline, but I also don't completely disagree. I think its from a non- human intelligence, but whether they are from outer space, or are from here, but dimensionally different, or if they are some race that lived here that is separate and secretive is anyone's guess. But I like to remind people that we have amazing capabilities and to even say that these things are unidentified is a huge, world shaking concession, considering the US and others have the ability to zoom into the pores of my skin from outer space.

  1. We have the most advanced aircraft in the world, with advance sensors and radar.

  2. We have complete coverage of the planet via satellites.

  3. We have space programs, rocket programs etc. that constantly scan and control airspace.

  4. We have commercial pilots, air force pilots, naval pilots, astronauts, politicians, generals and countless civilians that have gone on record to say that some of what we are seeing is more than likely not from a human nation, and have witnessed things that don't make sense under our current understanding of physics.

Probably depends on the context. The way I see it it works like this.

“You can have these pastries if you agree to vote for me” = Bribe

“Come to our campaign event, we will have snacks” = Not a Bribe

There seems to be a lot of other controversy around this campaign/candidate but buying coffee, tea, and six cinnamon rolls from the establishment hosting your event for the people coming to the event seems like an incredibly low threshold for bribery.

>I'm not aware that sesame-allergic people were having allergic reactions to these products in the past

They were. That's the point. Previously there could be sufficient sesame present due to contamination that wasn't listed on an ingredients statement. That's a big ol problem for those with sesame allergies. They're unable to tell from a label whether a product is safe. Now there is a way to tell. That's better.

Contamination is a very real and substantial threat to people with allergies. This isn't hypothetical. People died before we had these regs.

For someone with a serious sesame allergy this change opens up more options they can reliably safely consume. They no longer have to seek out niche producers who controlled for sesame. Now they can reliably read a label and know if there is a sesame risk or not.

This is not a cobra situation at all. Producers putting sesame in products to meet the new standard was an expected outcome, and an acceptable cost. The goal of better communication of allergens is achieved.

Worth noting that these changes take a million years to happen and there's a very long comment period. This isn't something that folks just decided. It's been in the works for like a decade and a half.

I'll stay calm here and kindly explain again. Him not knowing he had classified in his possession IS THE ISSUE. He was the VP and hit was his staff. He and / or his staff mishandling and improperly storing the classified is on Joe Biden. Not anyone else. It is his responsibility and he is responsible for his staff. His NEED TO KNOW is the reason that the classified was in his and / or his staff's possession. You being solely focused on the fact they reported it once found completely and willfully ignores the mishandling and incompetence on him and his staff's part that got the classified in these PRIVATE spaces in the first place. Thank you.
