you can easily replicate that overview effect type thing by going somewhere quiet and dark at night and laying down and staring at the sky also take a dose or two of LSD first and also you might go a little crazy and get void madness

It would be neat if they could put a CIWS on a ship with a bunch of empty conex boxes and do tests like this. Unless they expect a different result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGoJl8Lr46g

That was a way I would center myself in Iraq. NODs and a moonless desert night is like staring into the waves during a storm- you realize quickly how tiny you are, and how indifferent the universe is.

I’ll never forget being just shy of my 13th birthday and being on a walk with my best friend and our dads near Bend, Oregon in 1997. I remember it as a moonless night, and the skies were just absolutely lit up with billions of stars. The comet Hale-Bopp was in the sky, and I’ll never forget my friend’s dad nudging me with his elbow and saying “Hey, look up at the comet. Do you see it?” I strained my eyes and he said again “Do you see it? About 40 people waving back?” Another priceless childhood memory punctuated by an extremely off-color dad joke.

On my third tour, as soon as we got to a location where it was feasible, I told everyone to spend a few minutes looking at the night sky. "We've seen the night sky, dude." "No, you haven't. You think you have. You won't believe how many shooting stars can go past in a minute. And I'd really prefer you do it on your time than the enemy's, so just do it." And you'd still catch dudes staring at the sky. You can't help it.

I mean, even if you're *charitable*, they were paying a 17-year old girl that lied about her age. Their response, *again being charitable*, was then to groom her until she became legal. https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1387929792331362305 The wild thing is The Daily Beast getting the texts when there were only two people on them. Pretty sure that the Beast either has direct access to Greenberg or someone with access to those texts in law enforcement or something: https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1387931001322676229

Comrade Blyatlov posted:"One conversation with POTUS and he can get this done and it all goes away." Yes! The texts are from Greenberg, who is in jail after getting charged with 33 counts by the feds. Stone's probably in the clear on this one, as he was only theoretically going to get paid to chase the pardon (legal - just can't buy a pardon yourself). Gaetz has a lot of poo poo to worry about because his hookup very clearly wrote a lot of poo poo down and is either singing to the feds or has very, very poor safeguards on his poo poo. I'd bet the former - Greenberg's obviously the big fish in this case, but he probably is trying to convince the feds that he could help bag them a Congressman.

The article makes it look like Gaetz refused to list a finger to help Greenberg even after Greenberg made it clear he hadn't flipped because he's holding out for a pardon. The highly tarnished silver lining of these people is that they seem constitutionally incapable of not grifting and throwing each other under the bus at all times.

Is he not an accessory after the fact?

like i'm no fancy big city lawyer or nothin, but i'm pretty sure that if someone approached you to say "heck yeah dude, my friend and i have been having sex with minors!! just need you to make it go away!" and you don't report it, you're now an accessory
