    You don’t understand how awful it is to have studied both physics and history. Everything is so horribly misrepresented everywhere all the time. I’m losing it

      Psych background, it’s bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the “you only use 10% of the brain” crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.

      I’ve got a chemistry degree and I do reenactment and how average people lived throughout history is a big hobby of mine.

      Media hurts me so much.

      I mean for history half of Wikipedia is garbage western liberal based narratives. Movies are at least wrong for entertainment.

      Wikipedia is usually pretty good for math and science at least. So there is that. And then movies are just wrong to a comical degree. The good will hunting hallway proof still annoys me.
