One minute you find an incredibly insightful thread.

The next minute, the replies are full of arguments, bots, and people trying to go viral.

Do you think X is still a good place for meaningful discussions, or has engagement become more important than conversation?

Last night (well technically tonight but it’s now past 12 AM) my wife and I had an experience that we genuinely can’t explain, and I’m curious if anyone has seen something similar.

About a month ago, I was scrolling twitter and saw clip a woman on a podcast saying that if you go outside at night with an open mind and simply ask to see “them,” strange lights or orbs may appear. I thought it sounded interesting but honestly wrote it off as very unlikely.
Fast forward to last night. Around 10:00 p.m. in North Carolina, I decided to try it just out of curiosity.

After about 30 seconds of looking at the sky, I noticed what looked like stars beginning to move. At first I assumed my eyes were playing tricks on me because I had been staring for a while. But then one became two, then three. They weren’t twinkling like stars, and they weren’t blinking like airplanes. They looked like steady white points of light.
What really caught my attention was how they moved. The best comparison I can make is that they moved like insects or almost like fish? But way up in the sky and constantly illuminated. They drifted smoothly back and forth, changed direction, and seemed to move around one another. Occasionally another light would appear, fly through the area, and then continue on. They didn’t move like airplanes or satellites in a straight line. They looked almost… alive.

I thought maybe I was imagining it, so I immediately called my wife outside. She is the biggest skeptic I know when it comes to UFOs or anything paranormal. I didn’t tell her what to expect I just asked her to watch and then said out loud “I wish to see you.”

Within a short time, the same lights appeared again.
She watched them moving the same way I had. At first she wondered if they were airplanes, but after watching for a bit she said they couldn’t be because there were no blinking navigation lights, they were far too high to appear that way, and their movements didn’t resemble normal aircraft. Not even drones moved like this. She was completely dumbfounded.

After the lights disappeared, an actual airplane flew overhead with the familiar blinking red and white lights, and the difference was obvious. It was much lower than the lights we saw also.

Another thing that stood out was that these lights didn’t fly off over the horizon like a plane does. They simply seemed to fade or vanish where they were.
Afterward I went inside, called my brother-in-law and a friend because I was honestly pretty shaken up, grabbed my phone hoping to record it, and went back outside. I tried asking again, but nothing appeared. Even after putting my phone away and trying a second time, they never came back.
I’m not claiming this was aliens. But I know now without a doubt we are not alone.

I know I probably sound crazy but all that matters to me is that we know what we saw. I’m just looking to find out if anyone else has experienced something similar especially the “firefly-like” movement or star-like lights after asking aloud to see them.
Has anyone here witnessed anything like this or found a conventional explanation that fits?

I interpret this as “oh crap, we built a bunch of random data-centers that we have no use for now, let’s sell all this surplus compute” 😂

META is up. CRWV is getting hammered.

Meta is desperately trying to do anything it can to be in the AI business, but should have stayed in their lane the whole time. You’re just a social media company bro.

How do yall deal with them messing with your technology? They keep making it so I can’t talk to real people. They’re stopping me from renting an apartment.

I am struggling with this, I am a data analyst in the U.S government.

During my time here, working in "interests of national security" I have never felt the need to break my NDA and risk everything before, until now.

I have in my possession undeniable proof we are not alone, documents, photos, video etc. I also have schematics for "Advanced propulsion systems" as well as "Advanced weapon systems". If I post them, my life is over there is no doubt about that. I am a multinational - I have both American and British citizenship and have debated fleeing with my wife to the U.K with this information before posting it. The total size of the data I have currently is 1.3TB of sensitive information.

One such document pertains to our current moon ambitions and why we really sent astronauts on a orbit around the moon.

I have no doubt this information would sell for millions to the wrong people, however it is not my intention.

I could post the videos and documents to YouTube or Telegram.

My question is, if you were me - what would you do? Would you sell this information? Would you make it public and suffer the consequences? Or should I make it public and try and run? Live off grid in a non extradition country? - funds would be an issue after a few months.

This account Is "borrowed" and is not able to be linked to me or my family in anyway, I am using multiple VPNs on both my device and router. This account is disposable, I may post again from another.

There is a hidden code in this message. LLAP.

This is my first side project. I personally wanted somewhere I could chat(text-only) with strangers worldwide whenever i was bored without pressure of 1:1 or video. Mostly out of nostalgia from the old internet. So I built boredpeoplechat.com, an anonymous chat with one room globally. Free forever, no signup, no ads, and no pressure.

Not looking to build a business, but it'd be really cool to build some place where you can always go back and meet random strangers online.

Come and say hi 👋!
