The evidence I’d add to that is it seems to start in the middle of a section of clouds, and then slowly change the width of the disturbed area. If the line makes that hard 90 degree turn that OP mentioned, it could be the final descent pattern of a plane landing at an airport.

Yes. I worked for a city and was tasked with occasionally reading emails that had been reported. I got to read some interesting ones, but the one I’m talking about: The auto-theft detective was informing patrol officers about the setting up of the device I described. It would send an email when a vehicle’s license plate was scanned and was returned with a STOLEN result. The majority of the email was about how the officers should not mention the device and only say that they had received a tip about a stolen vehicle.

We aren’t talking about the permanent sorts of signs, like those described by @[email protected]

And there are plenty of hidden cameras as well. I know for a fact that many of the portable signs that display your speed and flash a warning if you’re over the limit are ALSO able to read license plates and immediately alert the police. They were using it to look for stolen vehicles when I became aware of the system, but that was 7 years ago and all it takes is a little tweak to suddenly have a record of every car passing by.

Dude, that’s not your partner, that’s a green anaconda!

Your idea of it is a hilarious (sort of) possible backstory to all of the thriller/horror movies where one person is ‘the only one who remembers X!’

I went with a friend to Vegas. He was going to one of those super-posh conferences for his line of work, and just casually wanted to split the hotel bill (because he’s cheap; the dude could afford to live in one of those hotels year round). At the end of the conference, all of his colleagues were throwing some party at the top of one of the hotels on the strip. He helped me through the security screen and we left the elevator. We went from a world of bright lights and gaudiness to dark passion and sultry beats where each seat at their reclined cushion alcoves was worth thousands of dollars. Prostitution may be illegal in Vegas, technically, but escorts that looked like world-famous supermodels (male and female, to be clear) were writhing across every lap at those recessed tables.

My friend got me to the balcony, where I got a picture of the entire strip at night. Then my friend casually mentioned that getting a drink would be about $1200 and we went back down to the normal floors for the free booze and $2 blackjack.

That’s wild. Was there even a good reason for him to call you? Like, was the IT thingie he needed for one of the machines they were using? And was there any followup to you telling the board member / doc that he should be focusing on other things?

They did a good job with the gradual changes, but I couldn’t watch it all the way through. The main cast is just too irritating to watch. If I wanted to watch (the equivalent of) children deal with an interesting premise in adult bodies, I would just go back to Big or 13 Going On 30.

I think you have it backwards. They remember their timeline, which doesn’t match the knowledge that everyone else around them has. A quick example is

I don’t know… it sounds like your comment could use a /s

It’s the scientific method! Trial by repetition!

Maybe it’s just me, but libertarians have always been a weird bunch, because there are some large gaps between those who fall under its banner. I’ve seen anarchist commune types as well as the ‘government better watch out because I’m the only owner of THIS land’ prickly sorts at the same event. It’s not so much that the ideals of libertarian thought have been taken into conservative realms, but that the sorts of libertarians who could align with the ‘conservative’ drive to make the government small and speak up loudly are now getting their moment in the spotlight.

They did? Try cleaning out better before the anal so the bedding doesn’t get messy.
