I Work in Data Security. Is It a Problem That My Boss Believes in Lizard People?​

I mean, who doesn't. I've seen the videos. I've done my research. The Government doesn't want you to know about the Lizard People. Because reasons!

Ok, now I've read the question so you don't have to. I LOVE it: Basically this

"...the director frequently discusses bizarre ideas in a hushed, serious manner, as if revealing hidden truths: lizard people infiltrating the federal government, the Rothschilds as vampiric blood drinkers and J.F.K. Jr. secretly controlling Trump with plans for a 2024 comeback.

This individual is responsible for managing and securing the municipal data of a very affluent town.

[...]

When I’ve raised my concerns with both the mayor and the head of H.R., they’ve swiftly dismissed the issue and redirected the conversation."

Prove there aren't any Lizard People, amIrite?

Is he a Dingo Dinkleman cult follower?

 

[nakedfrog]

Well, depends on who you ask, some people (neo-Nazis and neo-Nazi enablers) have no issue with anti-semites being in decision-making roles.

It is widely held that part of our brains are often referred to as "lizard brains" 🦎 in reference to instinctive behavior.

Also, I must add some anecdotal experience....

Back in the mid 1980s I worked for a contract valet parking company. We worked closely with two guys who claimed to own the company as they made all the decisions and took all the cash we generated. Then one day we met the REAL owner. Very creepy old man being driven in old limo with a woman who was a half his age.

He took off his glasses to talk to me and I swear on my life he had pupils slanted lengthwise. I've told people about this over the years and most people just shrug it off.

In his defense he did not hiss. 😉

12 Million Americans Believe Lizard People Run Our Country

About 90 million Americans believe aliens exist. Some 66 million of us think aliens landed at Roswell in 1948. These are the things you learn when there's a lull in political news and pollsters get to ask whatever questions they want.

Hard to bvelieve that so many believe...

Yeah, being a "data professional" doesn't guarantee that you aren't a conspiracy-snorting crazy person, even if you manage to get through daily life.

I am a data analyst and work with others, including one who is "normal" in any way you can define....until one day he started in about covid vaccines and depopulation and Bill Gates and 5G. I was gobsmacked. It was the type of shit my relative would say off his meds (and sadly he has severe schizophrenia). I thought it was a joke but he managed to convince me that yes, he seriously believes garbage like that.

I met other people who were convinced that hospitals were empty during covid, that doctors were taking government money in some kind of scam. Tell that to my brother and others I know who were working overtime in area ICUs risking their lives, you simpleminded ignorant fucks.

Have encountered more-than-a-few people who came out with stuff like that. Often strikes me that "mental illness" is a very fuzzy concept.

Being unable or unwilling to think critically and limit oneself to factual observable reality?
Not sure we can or are prepared to declare the majority as mentally insane. Incompetent, yes. But abnormal?
Perhaps among humans, the thinking ones are abnormal. An exception that proves the rule.

Reason is not our primary modus operandi.
The use of it must be trained as a condition that is instilled into us. Made into a life value that we hold dear. Otherwise anything goes. Quite literally.

A person working in IT has "education", but the only requirement there was to parrot a set of instructions. Never was there a requirement for thinking.

 

[feralkid]

Well, that's because you're an idiot, Felix.

And therefore he has absolutely no logic skills.

Nor, perhaps has he heard of "Trick or Treat"?

Snake Sclera Eyes

Nobody can refuse such a spooky and real snake sclera lenses. Designed with a tiny vision and excellent color pattern, they can definitely fit your need and make your costume stand out!

Yes. Believe it or not I did think of that over the years therefore it's more of a curious recollection than something alarming that I saw almost 40 years ago.

To give a little more color, it was a hot summer day. And when I looked at his eyes and noticed the frog like pupils I had a good hard stare. They could have been injured or damaged or just contracting in an odd way because of the brightness but they were real at least as I can recall. I did not ask or mention them since he had the power to fire anyone on sight but he knew what I was looking at and did not care.

Other than his eyes he was as normal as anyone else if not a tad creepy in his late 70s burnt orange Town Car limo, disco shirt with gold chains and young girlfriend by his side.

But if you think this is interesting let me tell you when I saw UFOs not more than just a few months later in that same location! 😱 😱

How was your emotional state at that time? Were you engaged in a battle for meaning. When repressed feelings owing to stressful life situations come up they can produce panic attacks and activate hallucinatory psychic altered states. A little argot rye mold in the communal bakery can send a whole town into a mass psychosis.

Poor fool. When I first realized that the world was being controlled by lizard people, people cold and dead from inner self hate, I knew right away never to mention it to anybody because everyone to whom I could pass that information to was one of them. We must never leave the viper's nest alone or they will drag us back mercilessly.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought–
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
One lizard man groppled from the nest
Raptillions more before we rest.

Inside an older limo?

No, at the Stock Yards.

 

[WelshBloke]

I met other people who were convinced that hospitals were empty during covid, that doctors were taking government money in some kind of scam. Tell that to my brother and others I know who were working overtime in area ICUs risking their lives, you simpleminded ignorant fucks.

I had someone tell me that, literally an hour after I got back from working in a hospital during covid! Someone on youtube had said it so I must have been lying!

 

[Moonbeam]

Be nice. He can’t help himself. The capacity to come up with such bizarre associative connections is possible only for people afflicted with high IQ.

The ones that told me that were parents of a kid on my kid's soccer team. I held my temper and simply and flatly told them about my brother, and they did shrug and said something inane like "It's hard to know what to believe". They were a bit uncomfortable, and obviously they were being too polite to say either I was lying or my brother was some kind of fucking actor, so I let it go and just avoided them after that.

I can only imagine being on FB these days, where the crazies can merge with the trolls from mom's basement and masturbate to their conspiracies... I ditched it in 2016.

This is funny, not at you but in something I noticed back at the HD era launch.

Worked for DirecTV, so it was all 1080i, but the shift in clarity was apparent back then, all the 5 O'clock shadows on the men, and the wrinkles on the women. Ect, Ect. Then they figured out the filtering and softening so the pundits, or anyone up close to a camera didn't look so old.

Anyway, back then Dr Phil was in his prime, and I swear, every time his show would be put on the screen, that guy had demon eyes, maybe they were lizard IDK. but surely not normal. Weird ass pupils.

LoL, ok roast me, but look back into the 2010s and you'll see if it was at least 1080i quality.

I think the only thing that disproves "lizard" people (or any other type of alien presence quietly living amongst us) is that if one them eventually dies why aren't anomalous bodies with strange anatomies found in hospitals or by morticians? Surely one of them has to have been found somewhere in the world by now.

Im a science fiction fan and watch all versions of Star Trek. In one episode two humans are caught by a pre-warp civilization. They were there to retrieve lost technology. Since they did not want to contaminate the culture with proof of alien existence they confessed to being spies. Eventually they are discovered to have organs in the wrong place and iron based blood, which to that civ would be poisenous. They then claimed to be artifically created military prototype soldiers and were therefore sentenced to execution before being rescued.

It was a good episode:
