OH MY GOODNESS ARE YOU PEOPLE FRIGGIN INSANE?

Seriously?? Your cable is out so you start a thread on ATS thinking it could be part of some wide conspiracy?

Your cable went out last week for 15 seconds and you decide to JOIN in on this thread?

You once heard of some guy from Texas having spotty cell phone reception so you felt obligated to chime in?


WHAT IS GOING ON HERE AT ATS????????????

Wasn't this an ACTUAL conspiracy website at one time? Now it is reduced to people who feel that every little thing that happpens to them is part of a bigger conspiracy or UFO landing?

Ok lets break it down, in the last month or so we've had:

Is your pet sick too?
Is your pet acting weird too?
Are you feeling tired too?
Are you depressed too?
Did your power go out too?
Is your cable out too?

and those are just off the top of my head and my memory sucks...

People, PLEASE for the love of all that is chocolaty and chunchy, try to deal with things in REALITY.

Everyone gets depressed, tired, lazy, feels malaise, lathargic.
Technology doesn't always work all the time, things happen, power goes out, lines are upgraded, channels go out, signals get lost...

It DOES NOT Mean you are part of a conspiracy or some big mothership is in the vacinity.

I am absolutley STUNNED by the retardedness of this thread and some of the participants. Many of whom just keep this thread at a current SEVEN pages just by saying "No, mines not out, I'll keep you posted".

WTF?

When I become the voice of reason, the world MUST be going insane!!
I CRY A LITTLE EACH DAY as I come to ATS.I mourn what we have lost here.
I can't even lurk anymore without getting pissed/depressed/dissapointed with my fellow man.

MOVE ON IT IS NOT A GOVERNMENT OR ALIEN PLOT TO CONTROL/HARM/MOLEST YOU

I don't usually buy into all this weird "conspiracy theory" stuff but......

Now that everybody is mentioning it, my cable carrier (Brighthouse in central California) went off at exactly 12:30am PDT Sunday morning. I know the time was exact because I have one of those radio-controlled atomic clocks. I noted the time because I was finally going to complain to the cable company. The last time the cable went out like that (about two months ago), it was off for about four to five hours. That's pretty annoying when you're in the middle of watching something.

I just thought it was odd that several other people have reported cable outages in different parts of the country occurring around that time too.

As well as our directv acting up and going goofy on and off...For one whole week no birds at all here in West Houston area...none..(everyday they are here as I have bird feeders) NO BIRDS...and our 2 dogs would go outside and look up at sky and act panic'd and run into the house...there was nothing in the sky that I could see... this was 2 weeks before Hurricane Ike...
