You’re probably right, I’m browsing with iOS safari and no ad-block
No ad-block? Well that's surprising.
Thank you for encouraging me to install an ad blocker for iOS. Now I can read that article ;)

#22Unrelated to the content, anyone else having trouble reading this article? After three reloads from what seems to be way too many interactive ads, the page crashed entirely. I got about one paragraph in before this: https://postimg.cc/2qQ3qPjy

#23If you find this stuff interesting, I recommend watching Cryptozoo[1]. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's definitely a more interesting film than whatever latest Marvel release happens to be making the rounds.

Not a coincidence. Either you share the same lawyer or the same psychiatrist... "Facebook recommended that this psychiatrist's patients friend each other" https://splinternews.com/facebook-recommended-that-this-psyc...
Wait, if that's true its not impossible to perform targeted search to find out who is under psychiatric treatment... that's not ideal, to say the least
It's what led me to uninstall their app, and ultimately to basically stop using their website bec the desktop version is impossible to use and the mobile version is also kinda annoying. the result is I don't use it.

#25I like this stuff because I think things like Ancient Aliens are the Subgenius and Discordianism of our time. The genius of it is that it is a note for note send up of ideologies of every kind, literally, the logic of an idea, where when you project it on something, the reflection doesn't illuminate the object so much as reinforce the underlying idea itself as a lens.

#28I have always been fascinated by these kinds of things. Cryptozoology, UFOs, Occult...wish I could have the resources to pursuit them scientifically. X-Files is still my top-3 TV show but it's quite a bit cliché after 30 years.

Yeah exactly. I rewatched the series a couple of months ago, still very good.
