  • 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.


  • 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 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.



  • Yeah actually. A lot of laws get shitcanned into irrelevance due to being worded like shit on everything from the local to federal levels. That’s not even getting into conflicts with pre-existing well worded laws or the constitution as a whole.

    If it’s worded badly enough it may even just be thrown out on first test due to being vague and too widely applicable. Just for example I drive a 2001 Toyota Tacoma it has an operating system because it’s got an ECU, how the actual fuck would that interact with this law? Obviously the corporate answer is to force me to get a new car but the actual practical answer is that that isn’t viable, so it’s more likely the courts just gut an entire section of the law with one case. Keep up the gutting and sooner or later it’ll end up defunct.



  • Maybe it’s because of my understanding of history but I’d consider Iraq to be Western. It was more or less linked in with Europe going back to the bronze age much like how North Africa was. Frankly speaking the only reason it is usually separated is because of the great Schism and then the crusades which caused much of Europe to consider it as other.
