I recall that the movie attempts to fill this plot hole by saying that the aliens were leaving the planet but that the injured, sick, or otherwise weakened aliens were left behind. I think the one holding the boy in the final confrontation was perhaps the same one that lost a digit when the protagonist was using a knife to see it's reflection through the door gap when it was locked in a pantry.

I also recall the man in the car who was leaving that home with the pantry saying "btw we locked one of those things in the pantry, I think something was wrong with it. k bye"

I don't know how much of this I made up.

Wow I actually thought it said "gods."

It just put on its hide boots and walked away?

"Etm" is used the same way as "etc." It stands for "et merde" instead of "et cetera" which would mean "and shit" instead of "and others."

Maybe read it more as "and more other shit like this" when you see it at the end of a list of a bunch of shit.

Make Justin Long stand in the Mac Mansion while John Hodgeman stands outside the Public Community housing.

That's particular simulator game actually has you saving the world from some sort of Alien UFO time traveler conspiracy plot though doesn't it? It's not quite as mundane as some other simulator games like farming or truck driving sims.

do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn't be participating in this conversation right?

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

And my Lemmy app won't let me edit my typos so it's gonna be even harder to follow lol.

Just in pronunciation. Usually when you put the two O's next to each other is affects the pronunciation of the O sound, as it does in chose/choose.

But for some reason the double O in lose/loose does not change the pronunciation of the vowel at all. It instead affects the pronunciation of the S to sound either like an "unvoiced S sound" or a "voiced Z sound."

If I told you to pronounce "Loo" then we would all agree on what that would sound like, but if I told you to add a Z sound to the end of that "Loo" then you might say "hey you spelled lose wrong, it only has one O."

That's the exception to the rule that I was talking about. O sounds and OO sounds are pretty straightforward but they don't work the way you would expect in the words "lose/loose".

I don't know if my explanation makes any sense if you don't already understand what I'm talking about, but this is the reason so many people on the internet misspell the word "lose".

The spelling of "lose/loose" is the exception to the common rule that words like "chose/choose" follow.

You skipped the part where they absolutely do not value human life or care about the suffering of others. That explains the most why this is the easiest option for them to continue wielding their power without having to compromise on any ethical or moral value in their life.

You can't accurately (nor truthfully) look at from their point of view without adopting that specific part of their view.
