  Computers Possessing Humans and Our Perception  We live in an age where reliance on computers, machines, and artificial intelligence is becoming stronger and more commonplace, inescapable to the point that society would cease to function as we know it without these things. As we progress on into the future there is every indication that this artificial intelligence will continue to evolve to the point that they equal us and perhaps even surpass us. Far from strictly the realm of science fiction, this is almost a certainty at the rate we are progressing, and it is at the stage now where we are learning that we are perhaps unprepared for what we will encounter in this hazy, unexplored domain lying before us. At least one group of researchers has realized that we are approaching a time when we will be faced with advanced AI in a realistic human form, and they have gone about testing how we will deal with this through a bizarre series of experiments in which computers basically ...

Your dog is not a service dog

  Your dog is not a service dog Vent I'm so damn tired of seeing dogs that are CLEARLY not service dogs in the airport and on airplanes. You disrespect the entire service dog industry and those that need them every time you bring them. You let them take a crap in the hallways, bark at people, and let them have a taught leads. You disrespect every other person you are forcing this situation on. I write this as we pull back from the gate and I'm listening once again to a lap dog freaking the f out because, "I just couldn't leave my baby. It's easy if you just say he's a service dog." We all love our dogs. You and yours are NOT special. Due to the misinformation regarding emotional support animals, service dogs, and therapy dogs, we have provided a brief summary of the role and rights afforded to each type of animal. Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) ESAs are animals prescribed by a medical professional to support a patient with a disability. They are only re...

  Humanoids 1: Recent Additions to the Rosales Database Posted: 24 Apr 2021 10:00 AM PDT Thanks to  Albert S. Rosales  for providing the newest humanoid updates from his ever-expanding database: Location: Tarzali, Queensland, Australia Date: 2016 Time: various A local woman says that her family was tormented by Yowies after they had moved into their new home and that, at one point, she saw a mysterious entity lurking alongside the creatures. According to Jackie Liversidge, it all began when they rented a cottage in the town of Tarzali, and immediately felt like something was amiss. The first sign of strangeness, Liversidge said, was when someone or something began throwing rocks onto the roof of the home. Shortly thereafter, her son was outside at night and heard “a very loud demonic animal growl”. The family subsequently spent the next few months in a state of unease as they felt as if they were being watched by an unseen observer and often heard the sound of someth...

  Phantoms and Monsters 'Pig-Like Humanoid' Observed Feeding on Deer Carcass in Upstate NY Posted: 21 Apr 2021 03:25 PM PDT   A witness in upstate New York noticed a dead deer along a well-traveled trail. Later, he came back and observed a 'pig-like humanoid' feeding on the carcass! What was this beast? I just found this on social media. The witness seems very sincere: "I live in upstate New York near a relatively high traffic hiking trail that runs alongside a stream for a portion. In mid March 2021 I noticed a dead deer near the stream––pretty common in our area, especially in winter. Went for a walk yesterday evening and I passed where the deer was and saw something that’s been really messing with me since. Something was crouched over the dead deer. It looked like a pig but large, the size of a grown man, with loose, sagging skin. Its whole face was kind of sagging and leaking out of its nose and eyes. I’ve worked with livestock before so I know what pigs look l...
