Shotgun Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I know some of us are joking around here but really, it astonishes me that people still aren't willing to believe the Loch Ness Monster exists. There's documented evidence ffs. Take a look for yourself and tell me if you still aren't convinced. Loch Ness Monster - Proof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of weeks ago he sent me a video about Isaac Kappy which was full of a load of shite. I joined a couple of organised walking groups recently, to get myself off my backside and out for some exercise during/after the lockdown restrictions. On my latest jaunt, I got talking to a 40-ish year old Aussie who came up with the most outlandish Covid conspiracy I've heard yet. According to him, the FBI/CIA/MI6/Mossad etc discovered a huge terrorist plot. In order to foil it, they decided they had to put an immediate stop to all international travel. How to do this without causing world wide panic? Easy... invent a global pandemic! So there is actually no C-19, nobody has died. It's all a cover story to foil those pesky terrorists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an odd phenomenon to have seen a new lease of life in the last decade. That's another one that I think started as a joke and some morons take it seriously. Some of them probably treat it as a challenge to make a convincing argument for a theory they know to be ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it all spirals out of control I want nothing to do with it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally, but some hardcore believers hijacked it very quickly. Not sure where you'd put Milo on that spectrum, probably started off on the ironic side but when he saw the cash coming in from mugs decided to up the stakes.

Was it that jumping on a woman in the games industry who dumped her geek hero boyfriend thing that set him off? A part of me feels a smidgen sorry for him (not really) for the thing that kicked him off the alt right gravy train. A gay friend of mine told me how at a time he was having underage sex with his older cousin, the cousin said they'd have to stop in case his parents found out. He told his cousin that if it stopped he'd definitely tell his parents. Milo was having a ball with the right subverting the liberal consensus, and just forgot for a moment who he was talking too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Has anyone mentioned flat earthers yet? That's an odd phenomenon to have seen a new lease of life in the last decade.I’m sure I’ve posted this before but I used to work with a flat earther. I work for a large media company who use, er, satellites to broadcast. The office the guy worked, you could literally go and look at the screens monitoring signals etc. He would have seen them but wasn’t having it.He also believed that drinking tap water would make you gay and that the flu jab was a plot to kill the elderly. He also made boasts that were clearly untrue - he came up to work in Scotland for a week and claimed that he’d pulled the waitress from the restaurant across the road from his hotel, complete and total lies. He also once boasted to me about going to massage parlours and getting a happy ending, a strange thing to boast about.He had a very hot Ukrainian girlfriend, although every time she came out with him he would end up in an argument with her because she had been talking to other men, including his colleagues on a few occasions. A deeply strange man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ready quite a few articles by UFO nuts that debunk Lazar, so if his own side think (and prove) he was making it up it doesn't really matter if he remains steadfast or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I thought Hancock's hypothesis was that this civilisation hailed from the Antarctic landmass, and that they were wiped out due to the Earth's crust shifting and their home slipping under the southern Ice cap? I'm positive that's what he was arguing in 'Fingerprints' anyway. I don't necessarily think all 'conspiracy theories' exist on the same plane of implausibility. For example, I don't believe that Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi was either directly involved in the bombing of Pan-Am flight 103, or that whoever did plant the device was operating on the behalf of, and behest of the Libyan regime. That's the official story we're still fed though, so if my scepticism makes me a screaming delusional nutcase, so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per with most conspiracy theories you're game for taking one side of the story, while blindly ignoring anything else. In this case the commite said it was likely based on acoustic evidence, which was then heavily discredited. I've read a good bit on it, and came to the conclusion he'd done it on his own. There's some proper batshit logic that gets applied to "He cAnT HAvE doNe iT hiMSElf" including that a bloke who's grown up with rifles, including going through service can't have hit a target at less than 100 metres? Aye, settle down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
