@Anne23336wj You know who is also rooting for Dems? Every single other country on earth, except for Israel.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@BlakeLawless007 @KyleKulinski Oh, you mean like not having to worry about the soaring price of gas? Yeah, what a lame country.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@BigAbe1863 @KyleKulinski Yes, so in other words it's doing something smart to fix the problem. Meanwhile, we're now facing one of the biggest oil crises in a half-century here in the US and putting our head in the sand.

@ayeefkay @KyleKulinski What the heck does this have to do with the original post??

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@TheChrisCostin @BrightInsight6 @DrDavidMiano That post was one of the most innocent--and logical--statements that could be said about that site. You weren't saying it was built by aliens or Atlanteans...there should have been nothing controversial about it.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DeDunkingPast @BrightInsight6 Having tussled with Miano yesterday, I was absolutely shocked at just how deliberately obtuse, triggered, ultra-defensive and *constantly* projecting he was. It was exhausting, and it was over something pretty minor, to boot. What an ass.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 See what I mean? You *know* what I'm saying. This actually makes you look really bad, grasping for straws. Your own post you quoted talked about that question being used by pseudo-archeologists and that's why you're so upset when you see it. YOU told me as much.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 It's you who are trolling by pretending not to understand the English language. You *deliberately chose* to take the question literally so you could give your (IMO!) "cute", smarmy answer. But English is usually NOT taken so literally and you KNOW this.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 I already responded to that repost of your other post, try to keep up, eh?

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 I asked Gemini just now "what do we know of the people who originally built Teotihuacan?" and it answered "The exact identity and original language of the people who built Teotihuacan remain unknown because they left no decipherable written records". THAT'S what's being asked.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 And just what did you "teach" people with the smirky and totally unproductive answer "maybe the people who lived there...?"

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 Obviously we know *something* about them if they left behind buildings. The original poster obviously knows that, too. But you leaped on the least charitable interpretation of that line to make him look stupid. He really didn't say anything controversial if you read it logically.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 As a non-academic rube, I'm far more susceptible. You with your academic training should actually be more immune to this. But I will admit I only get into these 'debates' on X once every few months. You do it EVERY DAY.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 Ah yes, we do know who built it because "the people who were there" built it. Brilliant, sir.

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 2/2) As an academic, you can rise above all this but you *choose* not to. You like getting in the mud, admit it! You love being an edgelord warrior in the Great Pseudo-Archaeology Wars of 2026. As if one more cynical, mocking retort will get anyone to come over to your side, lol!

[Michael Topper @mtopper66]

@DrDavidMiano @JustPassingBy42 In other words, "debunking" is NOT the problem. Debunk away, my friend. It's in *how* you debunk. That you don't seem to be able to tell the difference is exactly the problem.
