  • In the example of 9/11, there were MOUNTAINS of video footage, news articles, and documents stored in a large array of community archives that started as community efforts to find Osama Bin Laden and as it dawned on all of us, slowly morphed into trying to put together a solid fully documented and supported narrative of what actually occurred on that day.

    Community leaders disappeared under mysterious circumstances and then all of those digital archives disappeared.

    People who were in those communities and helped to compile those archives saw it with their own 2 eyes and remember what was discovered.

    People who were not in those communities don’t believe they ever existed.

    Edit: Looking at these comments, its just precious.

    Question “If the government is hiding information, how did you guys have this information.”

    “I am older than you, or was more aware than you, and I saw the information before the government hid it and turned a historical record into a conspiracy theory.”

    “ANOTHER PERSON CONVENIENTLY SAYING THERE WAS INFORMATION AND NOW THERE ISN’T!!! DON’T LISTEN!!!”

    Basically the prompt is “explain to me what makes a conspiracy theory”, and the comments are saying “IT’S A CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!” in response to people sharing what makes a conspiracy theory…




  • Shit man. 15 years ago, I worked at Home Depot as a cashier and answered to a Head Cashier who had failed to get into police academy for 5 years running.

    When that asshat wasn’t in the store, life was good. We did our job, we found non-confrontational ways to send scammers packing.

    When asshat was in store, it was always some big dramatic deal.

    The second he got a whiff of someone trying to pass a bad check, or use a credit card balance transfer check like it was a regular check, or do a “but I have store credit!” scam, the only answer was to stall the person until the cops arrived.

    2 separate times, this asshat caused a gun to be drawn on me because I was expressly forbidden from letting the person leave, “just stall them!”, while he hid behind a wall on the line with police.

    How times have changed.

    Sorry OP, sounds like your corporation didn’t like your 20 years of merit raises and just wanted an excuse for you to be gone.

    Fuck em. You’ll make it through this.


  • My “from scratch” cooking journey started with hand mixed pizza dough, whole milk transmuted into ricotta, fresh veg… store bought mozzarella and a marinara made from canned tomatoes and dried seasonings.

    Made calzones/strombolis once a week for months.

    Highly recommend it.

    High levels of “from scratch” pride, overall simple, super interesting and educating, and mid-low difficulty level, once you have a pizza stone and know how to use corn meal correctly.
