I had two middle aged coworkers the other day talking about how it was staged. I should have showed them both this today. But I didn't want to engage lol.
Yeah it'd be a waste of your time and energy.
I had two friends recently suddenly drop into the conspiracist nutball rabbit hole, and I really don't have much enthusiasm to see them anymore. Last time I saw them they grilled me on the moon landings, and absolutely nothing I said meant anything to them. If I hesitated even for a second when answering one of their "accusations" they took it as proof that I'm the one who doesn't know what they're talking about – couldn't be that I was trying to think of a way of explaining something to people who clearly aren't familiar with the subject at all beyond whatever idiotic conspiracy garbage they've consumed.
The ability of god damn morons to gaslight the intelligent... ahh.... I am sadly familiar with it.
@dactylotheca @agentshags I can't believe people still think we didn't land on the moon It's amazing because of the evidence that shows we did and somebody Evans that shows we didn't is pretty outlandish
