You earned it with the paper perpetua.
Weirdly enough, in print class we learned there's a limit of 11-14 times pulp can be recyled, but no explanation as to why. I prefer it to be a mystery.

Dealing with almost every stupid American who has been indoctrinated from birth and thinks that action movies are documentaries...
I thought the Black Panthers were anti-semitic because of how Law & Order portrayed them...

Red pair, brown pair, and white pair (for the fellas

its not worth it to change the minds of those who activly don't want to know any other thing.

Me when some dumb MF says I’m wrong, when they clearly lack the mental capacity to understand the issue at hand:

Yes. I use this on people, and some of them react positively, but even those dont care all that much. They understand the reasoning but the answer is still "I dont care".
People are desensitized. It's been normalized so long. Slow boil type thing.

I have the stubbornness and autism required that even if I can't achieve anything I revel at the challenge. You are going to learn about the bronze age and how the ancients were just people who were culturally alien, like the Siberian peoples of the French. They didn't have super technology that we can't replicate, we just have better methods and are lazy, cheap, or don't want to invest into it.

I am (well, probably now 'was'. Birthdays suck) a young ex-church goer. I am young enough to bounce back and re-learn how the world works.
My mom is 56. She can't bounce back and learn a whole new world.
Congrats!
I was lucky enough to grow up with parents who let me figure things out on my own without trying to indoctrinate me. I had a very brief flirtation with religion in my teens (thanks to a girl) but grew out of it real fast.
I'm glad you managed to get out.

It annoys me that Dawkins spent so much time arguing with them.
Part of me worries that he legitimized then by arguing with them, another part rejoices that he made them look like the dumbfucks they are and hopefully others maybe on the fence took notice.

That's why you shouldn't talk with them, but rather the lurkers in the forum that might still have a chance.
I like to think that was my hope.

It kinda does look fake especially for then. But it also was unlike anything ever done before using technology basically at science fiction level for the 60s. It looks like fiction because it was so advanced for the time it was borderline science fiction. Still amazing evertime I think about it.
Also I do think its somewhat doctored. Nothing malicious you can achieve the same thing with a monitors built in settings, they just fucked with the contrast and some other shit to make it look not weird. Kinda like how Neptune is just kinda greyish blue and not a nice deep blue.

I assume you're talking about the "ancient alien" theorists. Are there actually some things that are "impossible" from our current knowledge of their tech tree? I always assumed it was just like "well I'm a lazy modern human and if I pushed these bricks up a ramp I would collapse" sort of thing.

I'm talking about ancient aliens, Graham Hancock, and general woo woo pseudo historian babble. Anyways most of the big mysteries at this point are a matter of specifics like we know how they did every step before and after step five but they didn't write down step five type shit. Either that or it's just weird artifacts that we just aren't precisely sure what they are let alone what they were used for, for example those weird Roman dodecahedrons.
But yeah most of these folks are pointing to shit like stone henge and going "we have no clue how they built these" even though we do know how they were built, for context stone henge was built using sleds, dirt ramps, and lots of manpower. Problem is we have the broad strokes for these but are missing specifics like did they water down the path the sleds went on, did they reuse the dire for other things nearby, or how much manpower did they use. Experimental archeology only gets you so far when you're working with what amounts to a multiple choice question with no mechanically wrong answers, we know the answer is 16 but the maths they used to get there are unknown.

When you realize the amount you have to teach them before they can even understand your point...

Just add semi colons and brackets, right?
No that's PHP.

But also, don't think you have to do all the work yourself. I think we very often underestimate the importance of being the one that simply plants the seed. Of course the difficulty is that usually we can't tell if said seed has actually been planted, so it feels like a waste of energy.
Sshush! You ate giving the tankies ideas!

You gotta switch their gears from defense ive/debate mode before they'll even consider what you have to say.
Even then you won't see the positive change in the moment. It'll come 2 years later while they're drying their hair and it all clicks
As an autistic individual who already has enough trouble with social interaction, asking me to dance around the fragile emotional state of someone being willfully ignorant might as well be the same as asking me to sprout wings and fly.
