I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.
My city has a local company that rents storage units and they have entirely too many locations relative to the population of our city such that I believe they’re a criminal enterprise. I believe they construct so many new buildings for money laundering purposes and to facilitate human trafficking and drug running out of them.
Breaking news, I just googled them and one of the owners was convicted in his 20s of trying to sell poached falcons to Saudi Arabian royalty. The plot thickens.
Look around for donkeys.
Forgers and tricksters often have mixed the falcon meat with donkey meat (cheaper, because easier to catch), at a ratio 1:1, that is, one falcon, one donkey.
trying to sell poached falcons
Is one of the owners RFK Jr?
Let me know when the movie comes out.
I would like to see Tulsa King walk in there with a water bottle and confront that guy.
We have a computer repair shop in my town that does not do computer repair. Ask them if they can fix something, the answer is always “we don’t do that.” Even simple shit like screen repair on cell phones, which they have signs on their windows saying they do. “We don’t do that.” My landlord owns the local radio station, he says they’ve tried to get them to do computer repair for them. “we don’t do that.” Factory I worked out tried them. “We don’t do that” Friend needed keyboard repaired on laptop. “We don’t do that” I’m so convinced at this point that whenever I meet a local business owner I ask them who they use for any computer repair, and it’s always the same answer as to why they don’t use this one place, that’s a big store, in the only strip mall in town. They only have one dude in the store, who’s constantly got some right wing radio or YouTuber on. There’s no other employees, no reasonable way they’re affording the outrageous rent for such prime real estate. There aren’t many businesses in this town, and almost all of them use someone from the bigger city 35 minutes away
On top of all of that, there used to be a Mexican grocery store in town (in the same parking lot, in fact) that never actually sold any food, and would always say they were closed if you walked in. They got shut down because they were apparently part of a group that was bringing in undocumented workers. The dude who owns the computer repair place is the cousin of the guy who owned the Mexican grocery store.
What always confuses me is why don’t they hire a few people that actually do repair and take the business? It seems like a simple way to keep the locals from getting suspicious.
In my Town Where i grew up there was such a store that hired someone to do the actual work. That went well, they hired more people, made money, expanded and stopped doing their illegal enterprise.
Its a money laundering operation for sure.
There used to be a very similar shop near me that was actually just a front for selling cannabis.
Not mine, but there is a certain compelling logic to this: https://bruces.medium.com/the-mysterious-visit-of-mr-babbage-by-bruce-sterling-2017-7c941028c4d8
tl;dr - accepted history is that Charles Babbage designed a series of mechanical computers in the mid 1800s, and the underlying theory behind them would go on to influence work a century later when the technology had caught up to the idea, but they were never built. There are a bunch of coincidences and unexplained meetings that suggest that maybe he sold his plans to Italy who then built one of his designs in secret. This is also supported by modern attempts to build a computer from his plans - there was 1 measurement wrong across tens of thousands of parts, and it worked perfectly. Babbage was a skilled engineer but to get all that correct, on the first go, entirely from theory is maybe a bit much
It might have just been botted, dead internet theory is more dead internet fact these days.
Insurance companies randomly deny claims just to see if you’ll fight it. If you don’t, they’ll know they can deny more if your claims in the future. This is illegal, but if it’s a “bug” in the software or “AI” than they get away with it. Actually it’s harder with AI since people are more skeptical and have already caught them doing it. However this may be due to the AI being trained on the intentionally buggy software.
I believe this based off my limited interactions with insurance companies. I was in a car crash that was 100% caused by the idiot who was fucking with their phone instead of looking at what they were crashing into. Their insurance company tried to stick me with months of rental fees from when my car was being repaired. I eventually filed a complaint with my state insurance commissioner and told their insurance company what’s up, they got right on it after that. Literally, that same day they had multiple people contacting me to say we’re all good now and apologizing about the misunderstanding.
Credit card companies do the same thing. They know the poors can’t afford to fight them. They do probe tests occasionally to see what the peasants will do.
Employers do this with time clock theft. It’s the #1 thieved thing
They actually do use software to find deniable claims that would theoretically have to be reviewed by a doctor. The doctor pulls up a while page of to be denied claims and theoretically gives them the legally required review all at once in the 30 seconds before he hits the button. There is no reason NOT to feed propensity to accept fake denial into the equation. You could even white wash it by presuming that prior denials that stuck were indication of bad claims and assert you are measuring their proclivity for filing wasteful claims.
In 2016, there were a bunch of creepy/killer clown sightings. At least in America it made the news pretty regularly. My conspiracy theory was that it started purely as Guerilla Marketing for the 2017 IT adaptation.
Some US states that keep enacting highly unpopular anti-trans, anti-woke, sexist, racist legislation are doing it in an effort to get left-aligned people to move away and not consider going there, with the goal of skewing elections in their favor.
That’s why your electoral college is such a mess. IMO.
“We oppress minorities to scare them away” is hardly a novel tactic
It might be one of the oldest type of conspiracy, that humans created when societies started to be a thing.
How is this a conspiracy, the whole red neck stereotype of “We don’t like your kind around here” shows how this has been part of common knowledge for a long time.
I’m not saying it’s obviously true, I’m saying I thought this was a popular belief.
It would be more compelling if some US states weren’t also openly and unabashedly engaged in active voter suppression.
That covid hijacks people’s brains with a parasite that makes them act like it doesn’t exist or isn’t a big deal if it does.
I don’t actually think it’s true, it’s just that if it were, nothing would be different.
That all of Tom Cruise’s movies ( and by extension any media created by ppl of the church) are propaganda for the church of scientology.
Well, I think they’re all funded by his husband Miscaviage.
Explain how Cocktail and The Firm are pro-cult.
Those were Pre-Cult.
Not mine, but the one where Michael Jackson is the love child of Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson caught my attention when someone posted it to reddit.
Ok I just read the whole thing and it is very compelling.
Michael Jackson had a crush on Diana Ross and lived with her for a year as a kid. He called her the love that got away. Diana Ross was well known to Clive Davis, who is currently being looked at as the man who taught Diddy how to have Diddy parties. I have long thought MJ was groomed if not molested by Diana - and his dad, Joe, would lock him in rooms with girls after shows as a kid, so clearly he had no one to keep him safe from that dynamic.
https://thedetailchannel.medium.com/michael-jackson-diana-ross-their-untold-love-story-a09d3dcefc1d
In 1983, Michael Jackson once said in an interview, ‘Diana Ross is everything you could wish for, I love her. I hope she marries me. She always tells me her most private secrets. That’s the kind of relationship we have. It goes on forever’.
Later on, during the shoot Diana was apparently overheard talking to some girlfriends of hers and said to one of them, “well, I’ll tell you one thing, Michael definitely isn’t gay.” When this assistant asked Michael if anything had happened between them, Michael said, “you’d have to ask her that,” and when he asked Diana, she told him he needed to ask Michael.
The special also included a mini interview between the two where they flirted and called each other sexyMichael moved in with Diana.
Michael used to tease his brothers, call her his ‘girlfriend’ and wouldn’t let anyone near her.
the stargate movie/show is “plausible deniability” soft disclosure of the real thing. they “hang a lantern” on this fact with the wormhole xtreme gag in the show.
There really is a base under Cheyanne mountain and the US gov does indeed have a program that was named Stargate too :)
Along the same lines, the X-Files was saturated with silly stuff and some real shit just to muddy the waters. X-Files producer had FBI and military advisors. But that’s not the real conspiracy. The producer actually had a secret whistleblower advisor who was ex NSA who fed him real world storylines about dodgy shit the US govt was doing. Any time that they tried to censor the show, the producers were like “It’s ok, the liaisons said to run it.”
makes you think
Scientology isn’t a religion or a cult-like one - at least not for the top tier.
It’s a doomsday cult disguised as a religion to be a tax dodge. Scientology has Gold Base and Trementina base among others, all bunkers. The famous people get money, tax free, donated to their “church”, and is used to fund doomsday bunkers.
This is common knowledge to anyone who is not an idiot. But I applaud your foresight, and effort.
When windows has updated and needs to restart it purposefully gets a bit slower/buggy to make people restart the PC.
I think something similar happens to phone’s autocorrect features.
I completely believe this. If I let my Surface Pro go too long the facial recognition will stop working and the little white light at the top will not turn off. The only fix is to reboot and let it finish updating.
If there is a pending update Windows will allocate ~2 GiB additional RAM
Are you making a joke or is this a known thing?
This is my experience but I have never seen it mentioned anywhere.
After Apple admitted they purposely slow their older tech to encourage people to buy newer versions, Im absolutely on this crazy train that there’s definitely a command to make things slower.
every programming language got something to slow your programm down on purpose (it has legitimate use cases) in rust that would be
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs_f32(0.025))
The removal of The Fairness Doctrine was a deliberate psyop of The Monied Elite to dumb down the general populace of the US to accept Capitalist propaganda and rule. Well, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s fact. Then we were bombarded by blatant capitalist propaganda for 50 years. But, but, the worst aim was to condition the general populace to casual cruelty as entertainment.
Witness how Congress has degenerated into The Jerry Springer Show and Judge Judy. And half of the populace think it’s funny, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Republican politicians daily lie their asses off, and there are no consequences. An entitled, malignant narcissistic psychopath is worshipped as a demigod. Congregations who watch Fox every night are literally telling their preachers/priests/pastors that Jesus is a woke pussy. That’s not opinion, it’s a fact.
I recall reading that Goering and Goebbels both stated that a lie that is repeated enough times becomes truth in the zeitgeist. This country is in big trouble, and I think the Heritage and Federalist stacked SCOTUS is going to appoint Trump King due to an avalanche of upcoming election lawsuits.
This country was established by rich men who didn’t want to pay taxes. But, some good things came from it. That you could speak to power without the fear of retribution. That a religious entity could not punish you arbitrarily on a whim. That the rich could not pass on their wealth and power to scions without penalty. That this country would not be ruled by a blatant aristocracy and monarchy.
I will not live in a Trump Theocratic Oligarchy. I’m an old man, with no wife and no kids. Do what you have to do, and leave if you can. The writing is on the wall. I don’t know how much more you need to see and know to wise up, but it’s here, right in your face.
Whoever downvoted this is a weak willed, submissive, sycophantic, obsequious bitch.
Also, fuck Putin.
Keep sucking that authority root, tankie weaklings.
complains about capitalist propaganda correctly identifies the ruling class proceeds to screech about evil tankies
Yeah. I don’t get the tankie angle here tbh
If anything it would be bootlickers injured from their dear daddies being called for being parasites IMHO
Music artists get paid to change their album titles.
Katy Perry released Prism to drown out Snowden’s revelations about the NSA Prism program
I got another one (that’s pretty much a fact) in order to get facial recognision, fingerprint sensors, etc working you have to login with your ms/apple/google acc, on windows 7 you didn’t have to… now why would you need an online connection to setup a piece of physikal hardware with local sofyware??? It’s pretty simple: apple, google and microsoft know your face, your fingerprint, your voice, your location, etc
