I’m convinced that a major factor is that these people are so incredibly basic and are coping. Any amount of real math or a day of physical labor would break these people and they’re not comfortable with that.
It’d be easy. Just tell them they were right about NASA being behind everything, but not in the way they thought. This whole time they’ve been working with the Annunaki to hide the truth until such a time the Annunaki think humans are ready for it. It is now that time and they’ve chosen a select few to be invited to Nibiru to learn, return, and provide the humans with the truth. Their lifetime wealth will be taken care of, of course, as payment for their year spent on Nibiru.
This is very similar to a plot point in the later Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. A civilization manages to convince all their hair stylists, project managers, telephone sanitization specialists, etc that the world is ending and that they’ve been selected as the elite to be the first on the colony ships leaving the planet.
The original post is correct tho. As for the one claiming they were christians… More or less. Nubia was christian at one point, but much later than when those pyramids were built, in the 5th century. Meroe was no longer their capital and they were then called the kingdom of Makuria.
You also can’t leave bad reviews if you return an item.
I bought an item that had issues, wanted to return it and the seller accused me of sending back in a different item. Once I got ebay involved I got them to approve the return, but like a day later I got a message from the seller that I assume he meant to send to someone else accusing them of trying to scam them as well. I almost wanted to eat the $40 so I could leave the bad review, but I know ebay would just remove it or something.
I had a fake item sent to me, reported to eBay to request a refund, got an immediate refund, seller asked to return the item. I said no, its fake I’ll bin it. Left negative feedback that the items are fake. eBay then removed the review and let the seller keep selling. At least he had one less item to sell and was out of pocket on postage
Kinda random, but: the first device capable of measuring the size of an object to a one millionth of an inch resolution was built in the 1840s. So this would have been old technology when Abe got his fax.
Then fred takes the mask of the ecto 1 and says it was old man cribbins the whole time. And the ghosts were just sheets on strings. And the gatekeeper was just elitist goth musicians.
This is probably one of the most egregious reasons that civil rights photos are in black and white in the textbooks despite color cameras having been a well-established thing by then. To make it seem like it was long ago when it was/is still quite recent. RedliningYour textbooks are made in Texas and the publishers therefore use Texan standards nearly everywhere…Educational material should not be made in red states.
Textbooks are likely to use pictures from photojournalists which were mostly black and white in the days of print media. It also likely makes it cheaper to print the textbooks.
And yet other pictures of famous people in these textbooks were/are in color. There is a visual discrepancy in presentation and it misleads the viewer (children in this case) in a way they may not even realize for years or decades after. Whether this particular discrepancy is purposeful or not it is problematic.
celebrities get portraits done, civil rights leaders have pictures taken of them by journalists as they do important things. most civil rights leaders didn’t get many professional portraits done, the textbooks use the pictures of them actually doing things. tough you may have a point that it would be good to include a color picture or two of them if they’re out there.
There are color photos out there, ain’t a hard thing to look up. Journalists were probably shooting in color even if they weren’t getting printed that way since the average person could have a color camera by that point in time.
You’re reading too much into it. Colour ink was still expensive back then up until the late '80s to '00s. Which is why coloured photos were uncommon before, especially in the 1960s.
And before anyone suggests it, professional historians strongly discourage colouring black and white photos. This could give false impression of what the actual colour of some objects, or the subject itself in the photo.
We rate this claim as partly false because it excludes context essential to understanding the difference in use between black-and-white and color photographs taken during that time period.
Although there is documented evidence of photo suppression during the civil rights movement, experts said the use of black-and-white over color photography was not part of it.
The post is misinformed and overlooks the fact that color photography was rare in the 1960’s due to its higher price, photojournalists’ need for quick turn-around, the sentiment of black-and-white photography being the “true” way of documentation and the challenges surrounding accurately depicting people of color with color film.
In addition to color being too expensive for textbooks, it was also too expensive for newspapers. And colour film was more expensive than black and white film. Since photos taken by photo journalists at the time were meant to be printed in newspapers in B&W, most photographers shot with B&W film even while the technology for colour photography existed.
the sentiment of black-and-white photography being the “true” way of documentation
Well… B&W does have better resolution, both back then and now. Notice how many photos from NASA probes are in B&W? It’s because to get color you either have to take three photos with filters on them and combine them together, which is what NASA does. Or have clusters of three different sensors in an array to pick up the different wavelengths, which is what most consumer cameras do. But that effectively cuts the resolution into a third of what it could be if you had sensors that simply detected light without caring about the wavelength.
Of course the way most cameras are constructed you don’t get any benefit from B&W in terms of resolution since the way the sensors are arrayed is optimized for colour. But NASA’s cameras allow for higher resolution B&W images (when they already know the colour of the thing they’re looking at and they want to see detail) and the filters are there when they need to figure out what colour something is.
If you want actually good deals don’t use Temu or Alibaba, use those amazon return/overstock bidding sites. Just the other day I got a 2-arm VESA mount for $3 and it works great. Thing id like 30 pounds of steel and normally costs a hundo brand new. Only problem was some missing screws that weren’t even necessary to the functioning of it.
