This comes from Erich Von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods? - which had the “?” added much later - as well as Zechariah Sitchen’s works. They do purport to be nonfiction, but work as sci fi novels. Sitchin did not know Sumerian/cuneiform, and basically made up definitions and words that he claimed described alien space ships.

Graham Hancock and “Aliens meme guy” whose name I can’t be assed to spell haven’t really been using it as a religion, more just taking advantage of the History Channel.

We can trace this back to Reagan nixing fair reporting laws.

I have tens of thousands in student loans for a job that my state made illegal for trans people to have 2 years after I graduated lol

Now might be the time to put some protections in place for trans folks serving in the military - those bans are a little more recent and likely to return if someone happens to win office…

I was going to join the Navy to help pay for school, and then one day it was no longer legal 🤡

I live in Oklahoma. Often, I don’t even get to vote for a position, because the only candidate that runs is a Republican.

And having volunteered on several Dem campaigns, that’s because Oklahoman republicans are allowed to terrorize and harass Dems into not running at all.

Yeah - I’ve noticed Big Lots (similar kind of store) hasn’t been that much better than Walmart or whichever store the items first came from.

Clearance sales also seem to getting worse across the board. My Walmart puts dented cans and packages with missing stuff out for maybe $1-2 off at most.

The way that people react to safety guidelines like rebellious teenagers would be almost hilarious if it didn’t get them killed.

I see so many “rebel canners” that are proud that they do shit like dry canning, because the FDA tells them not to. It’s so cool to get botulism because you don’t like daddy government telling you what to do.

The mask bans seem to be that same kind of childish reaction - “you made us wear masks! We’re going to make you not wear masks!”

How many pot smokers do you think she sent to prison as a DA?

And all those teenage “super predators” that Joe, Jack and Bill sent to prison

Mates, makeup ain’t for y’all. You know how you spent eight hours messing with your .bashrc or rolling for counter strike skins or whatever weirdass hobby you have? You don’t do it because you are trying to attract women - you see your friends get into something cool and you get competitive with them. That’s what it is for the womenfolk. They get their nails did and do weird ass makeup looks because it’s a fun hobby. They know that you probably don’t care about the difference between coffin and ballerina nails. But their friends do, and they want to show off, because it’s fun.
