  • So you agree words are real and spelling matters?

    I just find it odd such a basic blatant spelling mistake was made while this situation is unfolding and being astroturfed to hell.

    You wouldn’t think an astronomer would call themselves an astrologer by mistake – much higher chance someone selling fake pretty glass to tourists would say their crystals are good for astronomy.

    Since we’re on the subject of spelling things out, I’m questioning the authenticity of the guy who spelled it hobbiest. He may have just made a spelling mistake, we all do it, but 1.) currently heavily astroturfed subject 2.) hobbyists use the word a lot.








  • For me it’s the high-horse holier than thou attitude most of them seem to carry in online conversations. I know a fee vegans and they are mostly fine in person after the first few months of radicalization, but I imagine they just suppress it in person to maintain the acquaintanceship and then bitch in their vegan echo chambers about how “my co-worker who knows I’m vegan had the audacity to order a hamburger and eat it in front of me knowing I’m vegan, does he know he’s destroying the world with that Burger… AITA?”

    If you’re looking for scientific answers, good luck they, Inrhjnjbmost people stop worrying about micromanaging people after a few years of academia.


  • Besides the obvious like “correspondence@” and “oc_outreach@” I imagine if you looked at the LinkedIn profiles of the individually named people, most would be in intelligence.

    Certainly partly intelligence gathering, but some idiots may have been dumb enough to sign up using their FBI email.

    One of my favorite declassified intelligence stories

    https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0005517761.pdf

    *U.S. INTELLIGENCE OBTAINED 250-PAGE FILE ON THE ATTACK BY A UFO ON MILITARY UNIT IN SIBERIA. THE FILE CONTAINS NOT ONLY- MANY DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHS AND DRAWINGS, BUT ALSO TESTIMONIES BY ACTUAL PARTICIPANTS IN THE EVENTS. ONE OF THE CIA REPRESENTATIVES REFERRED TO THIS CASE AS HORRIFIC PICTURE OF REVENGE ON THE PART OF XTRATERRESTRIAL CREATURES, A PICTURE THAT MAKES ONE’S BLOOD ‘FREEZE. ACCORDING TO THE KGB MATERIALS, A QUITE LOW-FLYING SPACESHIP IN THE SHAPE OF SAUCER APPEARED ABOVE A MILITARY UNIT THAT WAS CONDUCTING ROUTINE TRAINING MANEUVERS. FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, SOMEBODY UNEXPECTEDLY LAUNCHED SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE AND HIT THE *UFO. IT FELL TO EARTH NOT FAR AWAY, AND FIVE SHORT HUMANOIDS WITH “LARGE HEADS AND LARGE BLACX EYES” EMERGED FROM IT. IT IS STATED IN THE TESTIMONIES BY THE two SOLDIERS WHO REMAINED ALIVE THAT, AFTER FREEING THEMSELVES FROM THE DEBRIS, THE ALIENS CAME CLOSE TOGETHER AND THEN "MERGED INTO SINGLE OBJECT THAT ACQUIRED A SPHERICAL SHAPE. O THAT OBJECT BEGAN TO BUZZ. AND HISS SHARPLY, AND THEN BECAME BRILLIANT WHITE. IN A FEW SECONDS, THE SPHERES GREW MUCH BIGGER AND EXPLODED BY FLARING UP WITH AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT LIGHT. AT THAT VERY INSTANT, 23 SOLDIERS WHO HAD WATCHED THE PHENOMENON TURNED INTO STONE POLES. ONLY TWO SOLDIERS WHO STOOD IN THE SHADE AND WERE LESS EXPOSED TO THE LUMINOUS EXPLOSION SURVIVED. THE KGB REPORT GOES ON TO SAY THAT THE REMAINS OF THE UFO AND THE “PETRIFIED SOLDIERS” WERE TRANSFERRED TO A SECRET SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTION NEAR MOSCOW. SPECIALISTS ASSUME THAT A SOURCE OF ENERGY THAT IS STILL TO EARTHLINGS INSTANTLY CHANGED THE STRUCTURE OF THE SOLDIERS’ LIVING ORGANISMS, KAVING TRANSFORMED IT INTO A SUBSTANCE WHOSE MOLECULAR COMPOSITION IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF LIMESTONE. A CIA REPRESENTATIVE STATED: "IF THE KGB FILE CORRESPONDS TO REALITY, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY MENACING CASE. THE ALIENS POSSESS SUCH WEAPONS AND TECHNOLOGY THAT GO BEYOND ALL OUR ASSUMPTIONS. THEY CAN STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES IF ATTACKED.



  • They use a mixture of both depending on suspect and observed operational security measures. It’s much easier to leave a phone on at home while you go meet up with your connection, and if you drive an older car and don’t take any WiFi enabled or Bluetooth-connected devices (sports watches, BT earbuds, hiking gear, satellite radio, etc) then a physical tracker can guarantee much better data.

    The nice thing about location-based data (not tower pings) is they don’t require a warrant, or even law-enforcement personnel. It’s open data on the free market. Great for dumb criminals.

    I’m available for security consulting. /s (^/s) Unfortunately most are more interested in convenience than privacy and security.
