He described Frame Game as “a project ... |

| I find trying to make friends drives me crazy. I've been in this virtual autistic peer group before and I have no idea what to say, I can't remember people's names, and I drooped out of the group more than a year ago. A lot depends on how such a group is run. Ideally, the leader/facilitator should ... |

| It's always been hard for me to separate "social skills" from "masking". For a while I tried to learn social skills until I could talk to someone for a couple minutes and (I like to think) sound almost normal. But I didn't enjoy these conversations and I didn't feel like I was c... |

| Oh yeah, so Neil DeGasbag Tyson, the man who can talk for 14 minutes and say absolutely nothing and is the Establishment's ultimate mascot, said it happen, so that's also proof-positive right there. No, the mere fact that he "said it happen" is not in and of itself "proof-positive&qu... |

| The deployment of reflectors isn't a good argument to use against Moon Landing deniers; the soviets did the same with unmanned moon landings. Depends what kind of Moon landing denier, I guess. Some deny only that the crewed missions got there, while others deny all Moon landings by any human-create... |

| I would say though stuff like the Moon Landing I never seriously started to question until I saw just what a joke everything to do with Covid and the Vaccine was and just how fully and completely this was orchestrated. So for you it started with COVID conspiracy theories, which have never seemed cr... |

| Is this babble the work of some crazy chat bot? Maybe, but quite possibly not, alas. For many decades, there has been a thriving subculture of "conspiracy theorists" who believe in all sorts of wacky conspiracies. As far as I can tell, that subculture has grown steadily during the past fe... |

| I think honestly the bigger question though is why someone like me who used to NEVER question something like the Moon Landing back in a year like 2004 or 2005 or so and never even thought about this, now nearly-instinctively doubts and questions everything about Western "science".... I've... |

| In the 4th article though, the "proof" is that no one can question the Moon Landing, because then it's related to Anti-Covid, Anti-Vax, Donald Trump, and the slippery slope of this.... Is this like the modern Catholic Church and Spanish Inquisition ? Indeed, as I wrote in a subsequent edi... |
