Last Tuesday was the single worst day for my tinfoil hat collection

I had this whole theory about cell towers and bird migration patterns that I was tracking on a map for 6 months. Then Tuesday morning I spilled coffee all over my notes because a helicopter was buzzing my house so low it shook the windows. Later I tried to check the FAA flight logs but my browser kept crashing every 5 minutes. A buddy at the corner store said he saw a van with no plates parked down the street watching me for 2 hours. Has anyone else had a day where the universe just fights back against you digging into stuff?

That pattern of small failures stacks up when you're close to finding something real.

Yeah but @wendy820 has a point about the helicopters and vans though. That part might just be normal city noise. The real thing I think you're on to is how the map keeps glitching at the same spots. That's not random bad luck, that's something else. You gotta separate what's just everyday stuff from what's actually a pattern worth chasing. I've seen people burn themselves out chasing every little thing and miss the big one right in front of them.

Honestly, it sounds like you might be overthinking a bad day. Coffee spills and browser crashes happen to everyone, man. A van with no plates could just be someone visiting a friend or a delivery driver who got lost. Helicopters fly over my house all the time for news or traffic reports, it doesn't mean someone's watching you. Maybe take a break from the map and see if the pattern stops feeling so personal.
