In most cities of any appreciable size we do have paid forces, it's rural areas and very small cities that generally have volunteer forces. I agree though that they should all be compensated, they sure as hell deserve a salary for their work more than I do mine

I only ever had one job with a business casual dress code. Never again.

That feels like a pretty big false equivalency. There's a huge consumer demand for cocaine, that's the whole reason cartels exist.

No consumer wants behavior driven marketing, it's forced on them for the benefit of companies. If ads were outlawed right now, I doubt you'd find any communities online trying to get bootleg ads working on their machine lol

Yeah I feel like this is one of those things that you'll only ever do once lol

Pretty sure it'd still be vegetarian, just not Vegan then right? At least how I generally have heard it defined, vegetarians are OK with eating food made from animal byproducts (though it's preferable to avoid) and only vegans refuse to consume anything with any animal byproducts

Except those "dumb people" vote, and the people they vote for are the ones that determine which projects get funding and which don't. I'd rather NASA continue to get funding for real science than getting all their funding funneled into investigating "tinfoil stuff". NASA isn't an autonomous organization, they ultimately can only do work on what congress gives them money to do

I'd imagine that any person who says that UAPs aren't real, isn't aware of the actual definition of UAP. for which, frankly, I blame conspiracy theorists for conflating the term "UAP" with "aliens" just like they did with UFO

Idk who you think you're speaking for, but I don't think it's as many people as you think lol.

Besides an electron app you don't use and no app are literally the same thing, so why choose nothing?

NASA already made official statements acknowledging that there are uaps all over the world, they are now saying that they don't have evidence that it's aliens.

Yes, of course UAPs are real, it literally just means "stuff in the sky that we don't know for certain what it is", what it doesn't mean is "aliens", hence NASAs statement

they have not said it's not real we have passed that point.

Again, they said UAPs are real (which again, duh), not that aliens are real

I don't think most people would say that UAPs shouldn't be investigated. Look how much people freaked out over the Chinese spy balloon incident. The dismissal comes when people start to make baseless insinuations about extra terrestrial origin.

And FWIW, we absolutely do investigate UAPs (and by "we" I mean the government), again, it's just in the context of "is this a foreign spy platform" not "is this a flying saucer".
