if you really want to talk to a young earth creationist (I don't know why you would)

To teach, of course. And I echo everything you said.

BEEP BOOP I am a robot can't detect a joke.

Brainwashing is a perfect word to use here since that's exactly what's happening.

...with a better word than "brainwashing?" Since that already means something that does not match the contents of the article.

When you feel lousy for "two or three days"? That's a cold. That's not the flu. You are not some ubermensch who can fight off the flu in a few days.

Uh, no. Fruit sugar is glucose.

In the mean time, why can't people simply enjoy a film, without trying to pick apart ever millisecond?

A lot of the energy drinks are sugar free, and Red Bull does have a sugar free variety. I really don't understand why you wouldn't want sugar in an energy drink. It's like 1 or 2 cans a day max anyway, and you're so hyper when you're on it, it's not like you won't burn off the calories anyway.

Oh my goodness I'm freaking out and waving my hands like a schoolgirl right now.

But seriously, the Web of Fear is one of my favorite classic Doctor Who episodes, despite the fact that the only available version is almost entirely an audio reconstruction with still-photograph accompaniment. Notably, this episode is where the much beloved stiff-upper-lip character Lethbridge-Stewart is first introduced. He is of course instantly recognizable even as part of an audio-only soundtrack.

As much as I enjoyed the 3rd (Jon Pertwee) and 4th (Tom Baker) Doctors, like everyone else, I'd go so far as to say that many of the 1st (William Hartnell) and 2nd (Patrick Troughton) Doctors' episodes were some of the most interesting and entertaining of the entire series, just as many of the most original and memorable episodes of Star Trek and TNG came during their first and second seasons. The more I watch the older episodes of Doctor Who the more I appreciate what they accomplished, especially in the context of the fact that the series started out in 1963 in seriously grainy black and white as basically a televised live-action play. So finding more old episodes is a big thing for me. I love 'em.

I'm also one of those weirdos who thinks the most recent few seasons of the show are boot-licking, Doctor-worshiping, ultra-melodramatic, vomit-inducing crap that caused Doctor Who to go from one of my favorite shows of all time to something I cannot physically stomach watching anymore. But I digress.

Hooray for more classic Doctor Who!

If I recall correctly from the previous Dr. Who story on here, the episodes fall to the public domain 50 years after their production (so 2016-2019 for these episodes). So BBC is capitalizing on the last few years when they can make money off these. Yes, I'm disappointed too but not the least bit shocked.

I find stimulants only wind me up, they do nothing for improving problem solving or working though logic. Fruit sugar is the best brain fuel - eat an apple, peach, pear, raisins, etc. Of course, the phony stimulant companies don't want you to know it's that simple or inexpensive.
