Re: Geocaching???
Yes, except the indians left the arrowheads there on purpose and gave clues to people on where to find them.

I'd call it 'the one where imagination is used for fun instead of for giving probably false ideas about the past (because lol incomplete dataset) using intellectualism and nicheness as a way to get people to listen to you more to feed your own ego' also its socially acceptable to do so you get money Last edited by Cavernio; 04-7-2018 at 03:42 PM.. |

Re: Geocaching???
i dont see how trekking to a predefined location to find condoms in various states of use can be considered more fun and/or equivalently juvenile to refining our understanding of something like the expanse and depth of the mayan civilization
if you think misconceptions about previous civilizations negate the entire purpose of the field of archaeology and that attempting to understand the arc of human history is an exercise that exists only to feed ones own ego then really i dont know what to say other than you are as stupid as your defense of geocaching like holy shit the more i read your post the more i cant imagine how you can defend your own continued existence by your own logic if you cannot know everything in totality, if there is even a speck of doubt in any of your beliefs or understanding of anything, then your existence is an irresponsible abuse of the human mind masking ignorance with "nicheness" and you should just kill yourself like really there are a dozen alternative avenues of defense for doing something stupid and intellectually non-engaging but you managed to pick the one where you attack an important established academic field as being stupid, pointless, and fake what??? |

Re: Geocaching???
i can only hope when future archaeologists uncover the ancient pastime of geocaching they'll appropriately understand how fucking stupid it is

I wouldn't say it's a dumbed down version of archeology at all. In fact, they're pretty dissimilar. There's good reason why one is an adventurous (albeit simple) pastime and the other is an occupation and field of study. Archeology is hard work, with much research, surveying, searching, digging, and a lot of careful procedure that needs to be followed. All just to maybe find something. Then comes the task of studying the finds and piecing together their possible implications on human history, migration, culture, and so on. Geocaching as a whole is very different than that. If you've ever gone to a place for the purpose of hiking there, then you've already done the majority of the work involved in geocaching. All it does is take the fun of a hike in nature and add another layer of enjoyment by creating a special destination within your hike. It also helps make it memorable through the small trinkets and mementos you find, or through the notes that you leave. There's often really cool stuff, and dismissing it all as "condoms in various states" is only doing yourself a disservice.

Re: Geocaching???
She was responding to your own comment where you specifically mentioned archeology. If you're going to pretend to be so intellectually superior to people who do a harmless outdoor activity that you need to come into a thread and just vomit negativity everywhere, at least believe in your own posts enough to remember them. Or just get out of this thread because nobody cares about your opinion

Why knit a blanket when you could be a textile manufacturer? Why cook dinner when you could be an executive chef? Why play piano when you could be an orchestral pianist? Why make a youtube video when you could be an award-winning director? Why go geocaching when you could be an archaeologist? hobbies are hobbies and I don't even do this shit.

Re: Geocaching???
Can’t tell if Mina is trolling because he enjoys smashing arrows as a hobby but finds geocaching to be a a waste of time :thinking:

subjective definitions of "fun" is a valid defense of something i consider a stupid waste of time when i bring up archaeology as a comparative point, attacking archaeology by calling it just as stupid and pointless to the level of pernicious is fucking retarded it's almost like that was my point my god you people are dumb |

Re: Geocaching???
seriously everything i wrote went way over your head if your reading comprehension is so far below third grade level while people may care about your opinion you should refrain from giving it because it's worthless

I don't have any problem at all with your opinion. My problem is with your attitude and the way you talk to people and spread negativity for no reason. My point is that if something causes you enough anger that you feel the need to make the types of posts you made here, and you're not really adding anything productive to the conversation, maybe simply leaving the thread without saying anything is the better option. |

Re: Geocaching???
are you really sticking to this whole negative for no reason narrative you've constructed to validate your own irresponsible response
let me recap the thread for you, i mockingly drew comparisons between geocaching and archaeology because they are similar at face value, i find one to be a stupid waste of time, and the other to be an informative and insightful pursuit that people yes, do, devote their entire lives to in order for other people to benefit from their work in response to this, instead of saying, "dude its just for fun lol", instead of saying, "maybe you think this is a waste of time but i don't" instead of saying, "this doesnt require the same investment of time or energy as a serious field of academia so it's more appealing to people who do other things" cavernio's response is to claim that archaeology is a stupid farcical endeavor that exists solely for people to feed their own ego by trying to understand what can never be proven which is an idiotic defeatist and ridiculous mutation of bad faith whataboutism it is in fact the first display of directly hostile negativity in the thread and my response, while made with as you say "negative attitude" appropriately addressed the flawed logic of the post and pointed it out in response to my negativity, completely ignoring both the illogical response to my post as well as the negative nature of it, you attack me not on grounds of my argument but on grounds of my presentation ignoring the substance of my post so that you can defend someone against a person that you see as a threat because you like them more than me so you can sit there thinking about how you're so much better than me because you don't have to go around on the internet trying to prove your intellect like you accuse me of doing by willfully ignoring everything i say because you don't like me and feel just as smug about it as you like you can feel smug because intellectualism is elitism, because you enjoy stupid exercises that are too "outdoors" for nerds, you can dismiss what i say because any argument beyond "i'm right and you're wrong because you're mean and i'm not" is a pretentious farce and you can feel fucking great about it people like you are how trump gets elected Last edited by MinaciousGrace; 04-8-2018 at 12:25 PM.. |
