Internet Joke Event - Why Crowd Of 500,000 Can't Storm Area 51 Across 26 Miles Of Desert

Robert Walker at Science 2.0 blogs - 20 hours ago
This is an internet joke event. Lots of people saying they will go just for the fun of it. Doesn't mean they will turn up, out of those 500,000 or more, it would be a surprise if 50 actually turn up.. Very very silly and not a serious threat to the base. These people are just going to run towards it in a crowd if anyone turns up, over 26 miles of hot desert and rough terrain with their hands trailing behind their backs. This is what they plan to do, a Naruto run (the bit at the end of this video about anime being illegal is a joke). read more

Communion of SE Asia

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
A natural political and economic counterweight to the bogeyman of CCP Chinese Hegomony which is presently a real and existential threat thanks to the ongoing existence of the hegemonic CCP is the already established State of India and what is a putative common wealth or political communion of SE Asia. Surprisingly such a communion of SE Asia would share amazing natural water based internal communication that makes it profoundly defensible as a political and imperial entity. The population is also similar to that of both India and China. Economically the elimination of povert... more »

How a PTSD expert developed a viable cure for heartbreak

This also explains why CBDs help PTSD as well. The drug softens the re building of the bad memory. Again this is good news and can be used to obviate all forms of psychological trauma. Most therapies working with the brain do turn out to be gentle and rather simple as well. This is both and very uncomplicated. It is also a thing that can be identified and done by the victim easily enough with or without a professional. After all you do need to still sit down and write out the pain producing narrative.

Yesterday, Trump finally said what he thought about the cryptocurrencies.
