hehe, at least they were honest.
the last time that happened, they told the back of the plane with wry smiles "the first class bathroom is out of order " . trying to make all of us coach class laugh and feel good about themselves getting off the plane again .
I'm sure it was a wing they had to glue back on.
i'm slowly getting to this opinion too.
I'm trying to prove it out in my head why nations states owning bitcoin should put chills down our spines.
i'm to the point where i think it's because the bitcoin could become the elite broker chips where they divide the world between them.
The rest of the population would have CBDCs that have zero peg to bitcoin, and they will end up enslaved or fodder for kinetic wars. for the poker games the bitcoin-owning elite would continue playing
i feel like this man after watching this

i dislike venmo so much for that reason. i hope nostr won't Feel this way after a while. just dirty and invasive

i'm not sure whether to feel offended or appreciated but this "non-excellent" descriptor is making me laugh.
> genetics of these aliens is chinese/mongolian and irish/iberian, which is completely consistent with the claims of Apocalypse
what are the claims of Apocalypse?
so i read this "hair of the alien" book. It definitely sounded silly from the title but the author is well written. The stories themselves are "gripping" as a review said, and it's a page-turner but in a stomach-turning sort of way. I almost feel sorry for the author for having this affliction of needing to write about this topic but glad that someone empathetic to these experiencers exists. At some point I got nauseous and it feels like just reading the stories is a funhouse that's just not fun because none of it makes sense.
thankfully the stories near the end from China, Basque, and Ireland are less lurid and more along the lines of fairies and folktales which are easier to just dismiss. His overview is something along the lines of there's a race allowed to live on top of the ground (us) and below ground who are more powerful.
By the end, i just want to dismiss the whole thing as altered states of consciousness that humanity is susceptible to. the only physical evidence from all these stories collapses to 1 hair tested long ago and found to be unusual.
And then this morning I read this:
2:9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
I'm thinking "Yay Moab, you must have done something right. I hope this is me some day"... and then...
2:10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; 2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
and then in some more detail:
2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; 2:21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
you've convinced me not to cancel my $45 order
ok, cool my library has Hair of the Alien. I read a book recently that I couldn't put down. If i remember the title I'll add it. Oh yeah, it was called “The MANIAC” by Benjamín Labatut
the other one that was a fun listen while working was “The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack,”
they have declined by one ear
