  • I haven’t listened to Knowledge Fight for a while because I’m watching my own mental health a bit, but ol AJ has never sounded actually happy for more than an episode or two. Hatred like they have sounds like they sleep well, but they’re fucking miserable too. J.K. Rowling could shut up and just enjoy being rich, but she still has to find someone to hate and hurt. You wouldn’t really hear about a happy person.



  • Since Chiropractic medicine was invented in America by a spiritualist quack, I would say trying to use the same name for valid medical practices in another country is the mistake of whoever decided that was ok to do. It’s like saying yes, wizardry is bullshit in America, but in many other countries it’s a valid form of pharmacology. Just call it the valid term that has regulations.



  • Actors make movies and thats it.

    That’s the thing, if that’s all they did a little opinion difference wouldn’t matter. I also wouldn’t care. That’s not what they do though, they use their money and fame harm others. He went on Glenn Beck to support his 9/12 movement, was outspoken about being anti-lgbt, and donated money to those causes. Similar to JK Rowling, who some say to just ignore, then she also started donating her wealth to bigoted causes as well.

    Assuming rich and famous people’s opinions can’t cause actual harm is just ignorance.




  • ? I have no clue what gender you are, and it doesn’t really matter with my point? I just showed proof that the people being mocked are using the daddy thing themselves, and my Alex Jones example is a prime example of toxic patriarchy, so I’m not sure why you would think I would say it’s separate. Tucker is also a toxic misogynist, and I’m sure some of his jests were a combination of the sexual meaning too. I just said not everyone who uses yes daddy as an insult is doing it in a sexual manner.


  • Yes daddy isn’t always meant to be sexual. It’s something they literally said themselves, like "Daddy’s home!” and “Daddy Don!” at a rally. See https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/24/tucker-carlson-trump-rally-spanking

    In this case we mean it more like childlike belief that your “daddy” is always right and a big strong hero who can’t lose. Usually people grow out of it, but a lot of the right don’t seemed to have matured in this way. People like Alex Jones also associates the “daddy” as his rightful place as a ruler of a household, and has gone into rants during the pandemic because some vaccine commercial dared to suggest the children might understand something better than “daddy” and may teach “daddy” something.

    Atheists use the term in a similar way when they say “sky daddy.” Do you also think that just means a sexual submission kink?



  • It can tell us when traffic is backed up on a route. I of course know my work route by memory, including 5-6 route changes I could take. Though, why would I take those changes unless I know ahead of time I needed to? Using navigation can tell us problems on the route, whether or not we can go around effectively, or whether or not we should just let someone expecting us earlier how late well probably be.



  • Isn’t the story of a majority of Monster Hunter games preservation? When certain monsters start destroying the balance of a biome, that’s when we’re supposed to take them out. You of course hunt multiple times because it’s a game, but story wise you’re only killing what needs to be killed to preserve balance and continued existence of all the monsters, often hampering an invasive species or a specific infection etc.


  • I’m not defending Christianity, but the actual defense of pork is that Jesus had made pork clean, in a vision to Peter where the analogy was that Jesus also made non Jewish people clean, since mixing with them was also forbidden. So less accident, more amendment.

    They would also claim (from my experience in a cult anyway) that the old laws were necessary at the time they were given, but by the time Jesus came he could revise them as they were more ready.

    If we look at it from a secular viewpoint, badly cooked pork probably caused a bunch of illness to was banned, and by the time Jesus supposedly existed people had learned to cook it more safely.




  • It’s more a comment on the current American interpretation of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There’s no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).
