The Dispossessed -
The classic tale of two planets torn apart by conflict and mistrust... and the man who risks everything to reunite them.

quote [ People at one time did not have the privilege of seeing a famous rapper debate a famous astrophysicist about whether the earth was flat. We are deprived no more.
Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., a Grammy-nominated rapper-singer better known as B.o.B, released a “diss track” on Monday aimed at the noted astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson after the two had argued on Twitter about the shape of the planet. ] Well, at least there isn't a risk to public health and the long term viability of human civilization like there is with the anti-vaxers or climate change deniers. Still, the fucking shape of the planet should be completely unambiguous. And for the life of me I can't even imagine what possible benefit there could even be to a global conspiracy to foist a round Earth model.

I just wasted 15 minutes of my life trying to see if there was some kind of consensus on this, but as far as I can tell, it's generally just one more thing "they" don't want you to know the truth about. Some claim a round Earth is an attempt to discredit religious scripture (where the Earth is described as flat, having corners, etc.), but a lot of it seems to be a baseline for brainwashing by an Illuminati/Freemasons/Reptilian-style outfit. They glom onto tactics used by spy agencies to trash reputations and then claim the same thing is being done about the shape of the Earth so further brainwashing about other "truths" can be done more easily. I mean, if they can convince you a flat Earth is round, they can convince you of anything, right? That's the best I can come up with. I would love to see one of these guys debate comic book fruit loop Neal Adams about his Expanding Earth conspiracy, which he even name-dropped in one of the most awful Batman comics ever, Batman: Odyssey. |

My best friend recently had an argument with his wife and in a fit of pique informed her that she was the queen of the Flat Earth Society. The worst part was when he had to explain to her what that meant.

He also believes that he is from a parallel universe which merged with our own after a series of rifts in the fabric of space time, because how else could you possibly explain him thinking that Vader said "Luke, I am your father" Instead of "No, I am your father"... and he's a holocaust denier.

Someone should ask him if he remembers "The Berenstain Bears" being spelled "Berenstein."

And does he remember Sinbad!, the quirky mr belevedre style sitcom starring the loveable comic Sinbad, who is a Genie?
no? |
