  • Deep state? No one in the “Deep State” wanted any of that. The “Deep State” is all the bureaucrats that tell political appointees “no, we can’t because of this law from the 70’s that says it’s illegal…” All the federal employees getting laid off in DC are part of that “Deep State” - you really think someone that processes HR vouchers for AmeriCorps is also running psyops in their spare time?

    The original Q stuff was most likely a 4Chan/8Kun prank that just spiraled into pure insanity and had no reason to slow down or stop. It’s fairly well accepted that Ron Watkins and his dad started it or were close to those who did, and once it built up momentum, just ran with it. It’s not hard to get people, especially conspiracy-prone folks to see patterns in anything once you prime them. It’s literally the basis of how Trump got elected, you give them enough info for the pareidolia to fill in the gaps for them. How many people of that same caliber fly flags where they make a well-known fat gun-hater into a ripped guy holding a gun? Same mechanic. These people are also very prone to getting scammed as well due to the same cognitive shortcoming. Someone gives them dogshit info on an obvious scam and if the right virtue signaling is there, their bias-confirming lizard brain will do anything to belong and donate money or buy Trump-branded BS like the “Trump Card” scam.








  • The first time I ever had a meatball sub was at this small local deli. i was maybe 12, and it blew my mind how good it was. Consistently amazing for years. The first time I had a Subway meatball sub, I was sure that had messed up, it was so bad.

    But they hadn’t, it was I who had messed up eating at Subway.

    And yes, turkey can hit if done well. It’s just rarely done well.

    Fair point - these were 2 separate thoughts. First, Big Brother is the face scowling down at us all, right out of the book. Second, that the US is right now a surveillance state and this is one of the more visible aspects of the virtue signaling and telling people to love the Great Leader.

    Came to say this. The Apollo missions are forks of ICBMs.

    We should instead show a picture of Robert Goddard next to his 1926 LO2-fuel rocket and then man on the moon and say “These two images are only 43 years apart.” It’s objectively more impressive because within an average lifetime at any point in history, we went from rockets as fireworks and weapons to landing on the moon. But it also requires people to know who Robert Goddard is and what he invented.
