The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.

Actually, I think your take would have made more sense. It never sat well with me that scientists would resort to suicide because they found something they could not explain...yet.

No. The scientists do not figure out that things are being meddled with until much later. The scientist suicides, especially the daughter of the woman who invites the aliens, committed suicide because everything they knew about physics had been "proven incorrect". It was all a lie, but they didn't know that.

The Cyberdyne Systems Model 4 or CSM-4.

That dude on the bow wasn't having it. Never let go of the ship.

What a messed up situation.

I live in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming area. Here we only have two classes. Rich as fuck (including a ton of billionaires), and barely surviving. If you don't remove the outliers, this area would never receive any assistance for all those in need.

For this I look to my wife. She is someone who did not grow up with Star Wars so she has no bias or expectations. She also doesn't keep track of lore and "universes". I mean, unless we binge watch, she'll literally forget who main characters are. For her she either likes or dislikes a show on its own merits. Most Disney releases she has outright hated. Unexpectedly, she enjoyed " the one with the red sand" (The Last Jedi). My theory is that she had no hangups with all the lore breaks and such. Expectedly, she loves "baby Yoda", even if she can't remember anything else about the show (honestly, neither can I). I have not shown her Rouge One yet as I am waiting for Andor Season 2 before we binge it all.

CERN confirms ultra-rare particle transformation.

Three Body Problem:
Scientists commit suicide.

IRL:
Scientists get super stoked about "new physics".

I think that's enough reading the news for me for today.

...anyone sane...

May they have a happy and healthy child.

Me: "I am so tired of exaggerated and sensational headlines."

*reads article*

Me: "Well...fuck."

This is awful.

To be fair, it isn't far from the truth. A lot of people have insurance and think they are covered not knowing that flood insurance is separate.

I believe the kids say "based".

I can see a dragon also fitting the requirement for people that suffer from giraffophobia.

I can't set foot in LinkedIn. By virtue of having been in tech since 1997, my direct relations include a lot of C level execs from recognizable names. All I get the moment I log in is spam from sales people, recruiters, hustlers, etc. It is just desperate in there.

In what year was Reagan elected? I'll give you a tip, it was the same year the country started to get fucked.

Expect that "something" added to be a thing that makes the bill a non-starter. Something like 'no assistance to Ukraine' or 'passport required to vote' or 'federal abortion pill ban', etc.

Nope
