I was so confused as a kid and made that face more times than I can count. I was very naive and had a strong believe that people around me (especially adults) were smart. As I grew older I realized how wrong I had been. I have learned to accept that it's just how it is, but I still make that face from time to time.

Hard reality 😔 At least some of us are not senseless.

A teenager once asked me if Mountain Dew killed sperm cells.

This was a pretty ubiquitous urban legend in the 90s. I think it was an accusation levied specifically at the Yellow #5 dye.

It also makes your testicles shrink

Well, dear God, thank goodness for that.

I used to drink about 200 ounces of diet mountain dew a day for something like 14 years, and I have massive fucking balls.

I would honestly hate to see what they would be like if they hadn't been shrunk a little bit.

And you try to point out the obvious, but they think you're stupid because you're not on their level.

It's a whole school of rhetorical attack ("debating"), master wielders will bullshit their way to the top ez.

I had a seventy five year old college educated former executive express bemused disdain that a documentary wouldn't tell the truth.

The documentary expressed an opinion of an event from a different point of view.

I'm not over it.
