    You don’t understand how awful it is to have studied both physics and history. Everything is so horribly misrepresented everywhere all the time. I’m losing it

      Psych background, it’s bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the “you only use 10% of the brain” crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.

      Reminds me of the scene in Friends when Rachel looks Ross dead in the eye and says Jurassic Park could have happened and his entire brain goes into meltdown

      I’ve got a chemistry degree and I do reenactment and how average people lived throughout history is a big hobby of mine.

      Media hurts me so much.

      I mean for history half of Wikipedia is garbage western liberal based narratives. Movies are at least wrong for entertainment.

      Wikipedia is usually pretty good for math and science at least. So there is that. And then movies are just wrong to a comical degree. The good will hunting hallway proof still annoys me.

        Not what we were talking about, but okay. Are you sure you are not the one who’s suffering from narratives?

          Tankies never miss a good opportunity to bitch about liberals, even when it’s not relevant to the discussion at all whatsoever.

            What do communists hate more than anything? A decentralized system where the people consuming the product are the ones creating the product, and it’s all governed transparently by the people involved getting together and having councils about what’s going to happen.

            What do communists love? Putin and the way he operates the Russian government, internally and geopolitically.

            It’s just basic common sense, basically. Oh also they love calling people “bootlickers” if they don’t agree with any of the above. It’s all completely sensible.
