You actually have to be an expert to be dubious of this?
If yes, what kind of expert?
The kind of expert Waffle House hires or feeds:
among roughly two dozen workers and regulars interviewed this week at Rome’s three Waffle House locations, none said they were aware of anyone traveling to the 24-hour restaurants by paranormal means,
Reporter: "Hello, I'm from the New York Times, and I'd like to ask whether you're aware of anyone who has teleported to this Waffle House?"
Waffle House employee: Thinking "there are some real weirdos who come in here". "Uh, no."
This statement looks like it came from a redacted document from FBC headquarters. What in the Remedyverse is this?
Strangely after teleporting I always wake up with a headache and memory loss.
And for some reason it's always right after twenty beers
I haven't teleported since this one time where I immediately got lost and had to ask a dragon for a ride home. I woke up naked on my neighbor's porch with a tattered ribbon of red silk tied around my penis.
It's terrible what the aliens do to people after they scoop them up and before they teleport them back to Earth. There's probes and prodding and general dubious medical practices. That's probably what causes it. I've heard they use certain solvents to pacify people first though, so you might fail a breath test when you first return.
Who are the teleportation experts?
First, who the fuck is an expert on teleporting to Waffle House?
Second, why the fuck are the experts "dubious" instead of incredulous or openly condescending? JFC, c'mon experts, do better!
I thought the use of "dubious" was hilarious. It's quite an understatement, like, "Yeah, that may not have happened," avoiding calling him a liar directly, but conveying that it's extremely unlikely.
The sad thing here is the real underpinning: Guy had a fugue, which can be super alarming, and rather than contact his doctor or a doctor or, you know, even asking an AI, he decided he teleported and then decided to go public with that info. Now I hope someone talks to him. Transient fugue states can be normal and harmless but this can be a sign of something more serious, like epilepsy or brain changes. But also please someone fire him quickly.
So... going with the bit here...
At what point does the SCP Foundation step in?
Because to me, this sounds like either a cousin or variant of SCP - 7819.
... Its Keter class... people are not supposed to know about this.
…When mentally ill people are put in charge of the nation’s government…
We must assemble an panel of experts to discuss on the evening news. Both sides have legitimacy that must be explored. The segment must end inconclusively leaving it to you, the viewer, to decide on if the head of FEMA was teleported for a Waffle House against his will or if he was blackout drunk.
"Experts are dubious" ok that's sorta funny, but it's too bad this is such a serious position being held by a blackout Christian drunk.
No we’re not doing “experts are dubious.”
We’re at “society is sick of this shit go away asshole,” and have been for some time now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understatement
Understatement is an expression of lesser strength than what the speaker or writer actually means or than what is normally expected. It is the opposite of embellishment or exaggeration, and is used for emphasis, irony, hedging, or humor.
Understatement also merges the comic with the ironic, as in Mark Twain's comment, "The report of my death was an exaggeration."
Your average American is not intelligent enough to decipher the clever wordsmithing of the average journalist.
In an age where sensationalistic headlines are the norm, an understated headline can seem to lend credibility to the absurd.
This is not a problem, though. I enjoy eating popcorn and watching the world burn.
I'm going to guess this was at 2am in the morning after a night of drinking at the local strip club. He just found himself at a table hungover, with a coffee and a plate of greasy bacon and eggs, wondering how he'd got there. Must have been a UFO portal. Couldn't possibly have been a drunken blackout. No, siree.
Teleporting to a WH? Easy breezy. No problem whatsoever. It’s the teleportation outta there that I have some difficulty with.
Gregg Phillips, who is in charge of responding to fires and floods, says...
Well, I feel safe in knowing that my life and property is in secure and competent hands 🫤
Don't they have mental health screening for employees at FEMA? Maybe it is time to take care of this person.
I'm dubious, does that make me an expert? Can I start getting the expert checks?
Experts are dubious that he teleported to Waffle House. CNN investigation reveals it was really an IHOP.
Generally speaking, wtf?!
Oh, come on. It's late at night, you're really craving some mouthwatering chicken-fried steak and syrup-drenched waffle. You find yourself falling deeper and deeper into the mental image, and then suddenly you feel the world twisting around you and a sharp dropping sensation and, bam, there you are, in a booth at Waffle House. We've all been there, at one point or another.
No, but admitting you you're an alcoholic is lame, whats cool is developing a cover story and the believing in it so hard that you genuinely believe, and espouse, for years, that a supernatural phenomenon has occured, and this this is really super serious guys come on why don't you believe me?!?!?!
I felt like I teleported the first time I smoked weed, but I know that I didn't literally teleport.
I wonder if he having some sort of seizures. I saw an episode of scrubs were it was non apparent when it was happening but they regain consciousness and are confused.
NYT is dubious too if with all their resources this is the editorial choices they make...and the standard they set...
I think we should take it seriously. He clearly has Dissociative Identity Disorder. He needs to be hospitalized for his own well-being until we sort it all out.
