May I plug my community? !The_Heinlein_Society@lemmy.world would love more conversation. No current politics allowed :)

Not who you’re replying to, but definitely. I manage several Instagram accounts that aren’t my personal accounts and the algorithm feeds me things I’d expect in my personal while I’m in one of the others. One of them I’m only logged into so it’s not as much, but the other is attached to me more because I created it, I guess, and even though I’ve curated a much different following list, and do entirely different things on that account, it still shows me more personal things.

You seem to be saying that you don’t believe anyone saw it? I’m telling you how crowded it is around the pentagon at the time the plane hit. Late morning rush hour at that spot is packed with cars, and the area is surrounded by mid-rise offices and apartments. It’s impossible that nobody saw it happen. Yeah, I can say I know a guy, but he was traumatized by what he saw. I worked in Crystal City at the time, that day was hell. Just getting out of there took over four hours.

Don’t you think there would have been a lot of pushback from witnesses if the government actually said it wasn’t a plane? Don’t you think there would be actual witnesses coming forward to say that it wasn’t a plane if it really wasn’t? And where did the people on the plane who were killed go? They just disappear?

You assuming there was a mountain of video evidence. Not my word, all those people who saw it happen.

My boss, along with thousands of other people, was in his car commuting between VA and DC on the 14th street bridge. The plane went right over that bridge to crash into the pentagon. Thousands of cars on the surface streets around the pentagon. Thousands of people in the mid-rise buildings in Crystal City and surrounding areas saw the plane. Everyone driving that morning saw the plane. You cannot discount a plane when so many actually saw it, just because you didn’t.

I have only just now gotten the notification for your response. I have to think that’s our answer.

There are three posts I made, maybe it’s not federating? I’m not sure how all that works across instances.

Aw, thanks :)

Awesome, glad to see you here!

I came here from being pretty heavily involved in Reddit. The only thing keeping me there is r/heinlein, I want to keep it going.

You probably know most of us on the society’s board from back then. The Heinlein Forum has many of us, and I even have a little group for those of us who were afh friends back then. If you’re on facebook leave a comment on a post on the Heinlein Society’s page mentioning this and I’ll find you. (Most recent post is better)

lol no, but I do know the name. My username is the same it’s been since alt.fan.heinlein if you remember that. :)

I agree with you about TNG and DS9 completely. SNW is the best music since the earlier movies, IMO. I love it.

Working to rid yourself of those biases is absolutely good and worth it. I commend you.
