22 Conspiracies That Were Proven To Be Real, As Shared By Folks Online

Yeah most tech is purposely designed to only work for 2 yrs

Food for thought, there's a bulb that's been burning for 120+ years. They don't make 'em like they used to because there's money to be had. https://www.centennialbulb.org/

I see down votes on people explaining that Moore's Law is about obsolescence and I do believe in some part but Apple does support their devices longer than any smartphone company. You cannot support apps for too long on older phones as their processors and ram get what I would call "Worn" and slow down like having an older car today. Apple slowing the phones down to was nothing important because people want the stuff to work like it's brand new and Apple did what was needed to keep the device living longer. If you think all companies do this is a little crazy but there are companies who actually don't.

I rarely buy Apple. . After spending years with Narcissists of all sorts. I'm really not into higher brands, best of the best, ect. Tired of shallow people and I don't want BS technology to show off to other's to help my own insecurities. You can have a good phone without it being an Apple. I'm a cheap a** that loves saving money and letting it grow for emergencies and stressful situations. I'd rather log into my bank account and be like ... Yeah.. that's better then a $1000 phone. And also I don't want to give certain companies my money (support).

I honestly can’t say the same about the iPads, though. My first iPad survived for a whole 8 years before I got a replacement on Christmas 2019 (thank goodness, because I had to spend it in hospital, with suspicious signs of early covid). I’m more surprised about their charger life, though. The one my sister bought me; I kept it for so long that it was splitting open & leaking this blue sticky substance everywhere it touched, unless I wrapped tissue & tape around it ... yet it was STILL functioning! You might be wondering why I didn’t just change it, but we struggle with money that much, we legit couldn’t afford a decent replacement; & the ones we could afford (“Juice” chargers) would only charge if I kept my iPad turned off whilst charging & it would take an hour to charge 5% of the battery! I switched back to my badly-frayed Apple charger & it still charged the same as it always did. I now insist on buying the Apple charger cable if mine won’t work. Whatever works best, right? 😅🤷‍♀️

I watched Leah Rimini(?) Documentary on leaving Scientology, it's scary what they will do to people who leave the cult.

Dangerous and corrupt "CHURCH."

Like most cults, Scientology has reached saturation point. They have over-invested worldwide in excessively expensive centres. The influx of rich celebrities that were funding them has dwindled away after a lot of bad publicity and revealing documentaries. Their numbers are shrinking. Their "lesser" followers have tired of being used for free labour and being horrifically abused. So basically there's Miscavige, Cruise and not much else left. The entire church will have completely collapsed within 20 years.

I worked for a Psychiatrist who counseled those who left Scientology. Soon Scientologists were taking our trash & replacing it with bags of labeless bottles & cans. Turns out they were spying on us to see if we had anything involving my employer in our trash. When i left that job, Scientologists hired a Private Detective to find me. First he went to my apartment, then to my parent's house, then to my employer. I wasn't at any of those places, but a neighbor got his plate number. A buddy who was a cop gave me the investigator's address, telling his chief he needed it for an accident report. I called the investigator at his house & he was surprised to know I knew where he lived. I told him since he let Scientologists know where I lived, it was fair play. He met me at a steakhouse & offered to buy me dinner , & wanted me to slander the doctor I'd worked for. I said no, reminded him that I'm a US Navy & US Army Veteran and told him to leave my family alone because I knew where he lived.

This is true for many religions. Reason #544 why religion should be abolished.

Is that a conspiracy theory? I thought that was just a well known fact?

Don't forget the slew of doctors at the time who refused to tell their patients that smoking could kill them, because THEY didn't want to quit smoking.

My mom, a statistician at a cancer research center, had a boss who testified before 2 senate committees in the early 60s. First one, he presented data showing the correlation between smoking and lung cancer. The team also discovered through data the effects of second hand smoke. This was when people smoked everywhere, indoors and out. At the time, big tobacco knew and donated huge amounts of money to congressional and senate members. Interestingly, after his testimony, federal funding to the department was cut. But they kept working. The next time he testified was to show the effects of radiation from X-rays. At time x-rays threw much larger amounts of radiation off. Because of research from data is why you wear a lead apron at the dentist’s. Yes, other scientific groups around the globe were studying the same things but this happened in my youth and is how I learned firsthand how my country’s politics silences truth. In the land of the free, USA.

It's called lobbying and it should be illegal. Our government is for sale if you have the money. It's why we don't have universal health care like most civilized countries. Politicians get top shelf health insurance with the job and the insurance companies contribute billions to keep us from getting free care. Outlaw lobbying and make politicians pay for their own health care and watch how fast things change. We'd have universal health care within a year.

Karen Silkwood.

Not quite free. Her conservatorship has been hiven to someone she trusts rather than her father. She is technically still classified as unable to make her own decisions. I have a friend in a wheelchair who requires a nurse for daily cleanings but has been able to get out of her conservatorship, so there is NO reason Brittany should be in one Edit: Apparently there has been some fresh news about the conservatorship fully ending, and I hope its true. Im not even a Brittany fan and I am digusted by how long its taking to finish all the court stuff.

Huh. Kinda gives me a new perspective on the "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" guy.

I always figured there was a sexist angle to this. If Britney had been male, there would have been no conservatorship. Look at how effed up so many male musicians/performers are and they don't have a conservatorship...

Why do people care about this? The whole reason she got put in the conservatorship was because she had a very public mental break down. Couple failed marriages, shaving her head in public, and reckless endangerment of her child. Everyone keeps making the argument that those things were a response to the conservatorship, a means of "exerting control where she can!" but no....they were the cause. The important thing to remember is that none of her "fans" know one iota about her. That people have gained the ability to manipulate outcomes simply by being obnoxiously confident about their ignorant assumption is horrifying to me.

Thank god we don't have that sort of crap system in Australia.

And the police were astonished! "How can that be? We didn't know anything about it! We can assure you that we're very thorough in our investigations!"

This doesn't even mention the best/worst parts. One, the cops didn't care because not only were the victims gay but most were also immigrants/refugees. One family didn't report the man missing because they thought he was in hiding because his claim was denied and he was due to be deported. Second, the police had gotten the killer in custody but let him go because they felt he didn't fit the type to be a serial killer, because he was too old. Racism and homophobia with some ageism thrown on for good measure.

The serial killer's name is "B.M.", who is "now considered one of Canada's most prolific serial killers who heinously took the lives of eight men." Police believe they caught him just before he was going to kill his 9th victim... who was handcuffed to the bed, gagged and had a bag over his head when they found him.
