Why is the website like this? Why does everyone want to make claims of an astrophysicist without bothering to study to become one? Why do they want me to take their words seriously they haven't proven themselves to be a serious person? What do they expect me to do? Listen and argue with every retard who wants to give their ill-informed hot take?
