@parkermolloy As the great Twain put it, of course, 'Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.'

I think you vastly overestimate my ability to dunk entertainingly.
@parkermolloy Even if i've done my own research on how to dunk a basketball? 🤡
@parkermolloy I really appreciate this. It's a good article giving voice to a lot of frustration I've been feeling.
@parkermolloy I feel this HARD. You can’t logic with emotion because it’s so often irrational. Those crackpots are able to get away with spewing nonsense because they’re telling people what they want to hear, and it is extremely difficult to persuade people that they’ve been duped.
