Weren't all of the people in Stargate just humans that were kidnapped and enslaved basically? So it's not like they were interfering with another species

These people are mentally stuck in junior high.

Pandemic was great for me. I was able to get my Master's degree online, which generally would have been looked down upon prior to the pandemic as not being a "real" degree or being as rigorous, but since everything was virtual, I was getting the exact same course material online as I was as the in person students. I quit my horrible job and I got a great remote job. The market was great at the time, so I managed to land a job where my company was headquartered in a very high cost of living area. They paid me the same salary as their other workers. Without the pandemic I never would have been considered. My husband's job became remote as well. He and I have become way closer during the pandemic and have lots of time to spend with our kids and dogs. I will never go back to working in an office every again. I have severe social anxiety and my job is located in a state that would take me 2 days to drive to, so I am not expected to come to the office ever, except for once a year there's a fun day where they go to do some kind of outdoor event. It's really been so great. I also hate wearing business clothes (don't even like putting on a bra), so I get to be comfortable. I see a lot of jobs offered are now hybrid or back to in person, and I refuse to respond to recruiters about any of those. I don't care if they are trying to go back to the old normal. The old normal sucked. I still wear a face mask every where I go, and I haven't had so much as a cold since early 2020. Three whole years without any sickness. And I just traveled out of town and sat in a plane full of people coughing all over. In "normal" times I would have just gotten sick right away and spent half my vacation fighting some weird bug I caught on the plane. In these times where I am super careful, wash my hands constantly and wear a mask when indoors, I don't get sick at all. It's amazing, I don't know why we don't keep doing it. Does everyone just like getting sick every flu season?

I also want public transportation to take drinkers off the road. That goes with wanting a safe neighborhood.
