FWIW, The Why Files does a great job of telling the story, then hitting some of the most wobbly points. If there's no direct evidence to fully debunk, they say that. Runs the full gambit of old school to really new stuff. Tons of fun, totally worth the time.

I manage to get my conspiracy theory fix out of History For Granite. I'd rate him maybe a 2.1 on the conspirometer, he's not an "Ancient aliens built the pyramids as landing platforms for their spacecraft" guy, he's more of a "Everybody says the bent pyramid was a failure, yet it has a completed temple complex, while the Red pyramid does not. Hmm. Why do they keep pushing this narrative?" kind of guy.

A few examples:

• One of his videos contains back to back shots of Zahi Hawas describing Scan Pyramids' finding of the entrance corridor void "Not a discovery" or "The most important discovery of the 21st century" depending on if he was involved in announcing it.
• Possibly in the same video, he accuses the Egyptian ministry of antiquities of maintaining the monuments more as tourist traps; the oogie boogie weirdos bring in more tourism revenue than scientists so guess who gets prioritized?
• He's got a whole video about how there are these outfits that will advertise advanced metrology of the pyramids, LIDAR scans or whatever, and then never publish the data.
• "Internal Ramp Theory." Look at how they treated that guy.

I have watched almost everything from this channel and always thought that they're pretty objective

What I'm reading:

• You want to be successful. When you get compared to your family members, you wish they were proud of you too, because you trust and value their opinion and want to contribute in a meaningful profession.

• You like being around people. You'd love to have the latest technology so you can not only participate in class, but also relate to the people around you.

• You're a responsible person. You want to avoid legal trouble and stick to following laws and social norms.

I don't have any advice, but I just wanted to point out the wonderful things I noticed about you, and I hope you find your path or some peace soon.

I wanted to comment because I've seen your comments and thought of you as a thoughtful commentator and I suspect we have similar political alignments.

My child is in an urban school district. For several school board administrations, the focus has been on equity prioritizing black and indigenous peoples. I agree with this. I think systemic racism has led to the deterioration of these communities resulting in a downward spiral that we, as a society, have to work hard and pull out of.

My child performed well enough to be invited to the alternative, accelerated program for highly gifted students. We decided noto send him as he was well integrated into his school, but his performance is an outlier in his cohort. For a number of reasons I won't go into, his current school is a language immersion school. It is unique because it was started by the language speaking community and has operated for several decades. It takes children from all over the district via lottery. It sounds like equity at first, but there's a limited number of people who can spare the time to send their kids to a school not in their district (bussing can help) and learn a language that isn't their primary one. This has helped him not be incredibly bored the entire school day.

His school is a mixture that leans towards the affluent. The language community that supports the program is a "model" minority and it attracts affluent people for the reasons stated above. The school performs well in testing and their funding reflects that. Unfortunately, this has led to the worst class room ratios in the entire district and high performing children are neglected because teachers need to make sure those not meeting the norm or need the help to meet the norm are getting that help. Giving these people that help is very important. Neglecting high performers deprives them of metacognative skills.

High performers need to accelerate and be challenged in a way that is different. Their brain solve problems weirdly, sometimes rigorously, sometimes with leaps that don't make sense to anyone but themselves. While my kid isn't in the top ten percent of the top one percent, these kids need special attention that our system can't provide.

All of this isn't to say you're wrong. I think parents perpetuate a system that lets them access the basic education that we all deserve and find perpetually underfunded.

Edibles in moderation, my friend. Stealth high helps me and my husband when my mom visits.

Just don't drive or do anything stupid like that while high.

It doesn't have to be conspiracy videos. It could be anime or porn, or anime porn, too.

I think the work of saving and preserving these files en-masse is important, but spamming on random threads isn't the way.

All it serves to do is detract from the original discussion for those this appeals to, and frustrates everyone else, watering down the very message you're trying to put out there.

This could be a post on many relevant Lemmy communities and probably do well on the majority of them, thus achieving that mission without polluting Lemmy with spam that adds nothing to the current conversation.
