  • It’s funny, I think you’re very wrong about aliens, but you’ve actually picked a perfect example. The US government encouraged alien beliefs to ensure that anyone who saw secret tests would assume aliens and not experimental aircraft or radio experiments. And then even if someone didn’t say such things they’d be lumped in with those beliefs. It created a lot of noise and created an environment where they could deny something completely different from what they were doing.

    The elites harvesting adrenochrome from children in a massive shadow world government as a part of pagan rituals is ridiculous and easy to dismiss in a way that "a wealthy power broker connected a lot of the worst and most powerful people in the world by acting as a drug hookup and pimp specializing in children and the ability to engage in violence. And even better they couod mske it partisan, and claim that one of the most involved people was the solution if given the power of a fascist dictator.

    Honestly we need operating systems to be regulated to have the freedom to install any app you want without the company’s permission. Maybe not all of them, but any provided with a general computation device such as a computer or smartphone, and the freedom to replace operating systems on any device that isn’t highly specialized with immediate safety concerns (stuff like insulin pump systems and cars)





  • Depends on where you are. Houston? Good luck lol. But NYC, DC, Portland, Seattle, and others are fine for walking in the city. The problem is either weather (DC is fucking miserable to walk in in the summer 30+°C and 100% humidity) or you hit a point outside the city where it turns to stroads. Also if you aren’t used to walking much it’ll wreck you.

    A trip to DC when I was a young adult changed my view on urbanism and my own health by making me walk and take the train everywhere and demonstrating how out of shape I was








  • They’re definitely rare, far more rare than many of the similar things to them like their opposite (chimerism where multiple sets of DNA but one person) or fraternal twins. But there’s a lot of people and identical twins have advantages for child acting especially but acting in general. Then consider that likelihood of identical twins is a genetic trait and getting a break in acting is much easier if you have family in the industry.

    Long story short, it’s rare enough that even if you know several twins you may not know any identicals, but common enough that it’s not weird for random actors to have an identical twin. It’s typically just a lucky thing though and they rarely cast around it except for children (labor laws)
