       | jerk though so its probably wrong and more related to stress like
       | the article hints at.

         | It's not that, although COVID has something to do with it.
         | Under lockdowns, most people were told not to go outside, so we
         | stayed put. Meanwhile, the Zetans were finally free to take the
         | skies, and improve their cloaking technology without billions
         | of people seeing them zoom across the stars. Now it's good
         | enough that they can hover a few feet above you, spreading
         | their rays. _That 's_ the cause of the memory and thinking
         | issues.

           | the affairs of Earth and its inhabitants both before and
           | after the Great War. They have appeared multiple times in the
           | Fallout series."

       | flood the media with BS. We were warned. It's cognitive warfare
       | in his perspective, he even clearly said as much. At least that's
       | a partial explanation.

       | I'm skeptical of the quality of this result. Self-diagnosis is a
       | poor measure of mental decline.
