I buy items from AliExpress all the time. Mostly electronics, but occasionally things like tessa tape, vehicle covers, motorcycle parts, and other random shit. Never had an issue.
It’s just endlessly quotable, on top of being an absolute delight to watch! I still sneak in a few phrases from the movie in daily life, such as “negative, I am a meat popsicle” and “Aziz, light!”
If UFOs are what it takes to distract idiots from obsessing about trannies and immigrants and whatever this week’s hysteria is then yeah I’m fuckin here for it let’s go
It’s getting a bit late to associate UFOs with idiots, honestly. Both the government and NASA have frontally admitted that there are things flying around that we can’t identify. The US just shot down 3 unidentified objects with F22’s a few months ago (and no, they were not balloons like the one everyone saw pictures of - no pictures were release of these other objects). Congress is moving forwards with new legislation to force disclosure of secret special access programs related to UFOs, after Grusch’s claims, and there will be public hearings soon.
I know the subject has been ridiculed for decades, but no one in congress who has clearance and has been briefed is laughing about it now.
I was going to comment about this too, glad that you decided to instead. Incredible things are happening with disclosure. The fact that Chuck Schumer’s bill includes language on definition of non-human intelligence is insane in and of itself. Insane as in, I never thought this would happen ever. Stuff I thought I’d only see in Sci Fi.
The physical and sensor evidence is available within special access programs, and at this point no one who as been following the subject doubts that. A lot of members of congress have been briefed on those programs, and they don’t doubt that there are non-human intelligences, be it aliens or time travellers or interdimensional beings or whatever they might be.
The thing is we both are going to get downvoted into oblivion. People who are not aware of the latest developments still see the term UFOs and think “loonies”. I am actually a bit scared that disclosure is finally upon us, and many people will have a hard time updating their worldviews.
Bro we have seen the latest developments, but we're not "scared" because we're not fucking idiots. It's not aliens. It's some dudes making shit up to make a name for themselves, some dipshit pilots misunderstanding what they're seeing, and fucking eejits like you making it into something it's not.
I rest my case. How will someone like you react when it ends up being officially recognized as something even weirder than “space aliens from Mars”, I don’t know.
And not me directly, but some years ago when my friend and I were both desperately seeking work, and running up against the “you need experience to get a job to gain experience” conundrum. His mentor told him to stop being so precious, and get a boring corporate job with a pension, maybe one that would pay his law school tuition. It wasn’t a thing yet, but wow, it would have been the perfect time to reply, “OK, Boomer.”
That’s like when they tell you to “pound the pavement” and ask to speak to the manager when you bring back your hard copy job application in person. It’s hard to even continue a conversation with someone who’s that out of touch.
If you have PS Plus, Cold War is one of the free games this month. While some people prefer the more classic style, definitely don’t sleep on this one. As a bonus, all the dlc content is free in the post-bo4 games.
Black ops 3 is also a great choice, just look into the dlc options before purchasing (it’s all good, just deciding on a bundle will save some money). The PC version also benefits from steam workshop support, there’s a lot of great original maps and even remakes of some classic ones.
