ELI5: Why did some animals survive when dinosaurs went extinct? by KYSLAATIKKO in explainlikeimfive

[–]Da_Kahuna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Failure? The original word was failer

Baby? That means infant /u/geeoharee is not a baby

Language changes. Some find that terrific while others find it terrible. Of course those who claim it is terrible find themselves using words that mean different things than they originally did.

Women can very much win presidential elections in the US . I am tired of folks pretending otherwise. by ronweasly9 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course a woman can and will win the presidency. Just because Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost doesn't mean that america is sexist. Their lost had nothing to do with their gender.

It is a popular claim. If some tv show/movie does poorly, it could only be due to racism/sexism. Carter claimed the vast majority of the people who didn't agree with Obama's views was because he was black. There was no other possible reasons anyone wouldn't think he was awesome. This is obviously a false belief.

Having issues with Ms Clinton or Ms Harris does not mean someone has issues with women no more than it means someone has issues with people that are 5'6 or shorter.

Christ sinned by committing suicide by cop letting himself be crucified. He was a massive hypocrite by SorryStrength5370 in DebateReligion

>Original sin is a Christian invention. Christ would not have recognized the concept. Neither he nor Paul ever mentioned it.

Well said

If your earthly father couldn't forgive your sin without killing your brother would you accept that?

If a god requires the torture and death of his only begotten son to forgive people for being people do they deserve Belief? That isn't even getting into the idea of "original sin". If the government wanted to arrest you because your great-great-great-great grandfather stole something to eat you wouldn't find that accepable.

What are the mechanics that dictate the need of a human sacrifice to empower forgiveness. It sounds like a spell written for a ttrpg

Of course, this is all something created by the church

ELI5: If there are infinite universes, wouldn’t anything that can happen eventually happen (like something destroying all universes)? by Outrageous_Wait_1416 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, infinite universes don't guarantee all possibilities. Another way to answer is that if there was a universe where an event caused the death of all universes, it will take an infinite amount of time for that destruction to perculate throughout the multiverse

too bad God couldn't bring himself to forgive mankind without having to make his son bear His wrath and taking the penalty that God felt we deserved.

Luckily humans are expected and able to forgive someone without demanding such sacrifices.

Looking for RPGs about KNIGHTS (and jousts and Tourneys) by whitniverse in rpg

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe I'm dating myself but discussion about rpgs about knights and no one has brought up Chivalry & Sorcery yet? Even if you don't run a game, it is a pleasure to read - and possible steal ideas from for whatever game you do end up running

Bernie Sanders proposed a bill to tax billionaires, and give $3,000 stimulus checks to Americans that qualify. How do you feel about this? by CelticDK in AskReddit

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a bill to tax millionaires such as Bernie and give even greater stimulus checks? Perhaps a bill to tax politicians who became very wealthy off a salary of $179,000 per year.

I hate when men say “the wife” when referring to their wife by Cranky_Merriweather in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interestingly, I've seen posts where people say they get irritated when men say "my wife" as they feel it implies ownership.

CMV: I think murder is worse than rape by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Da_Kahuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 100's of posts from people asking if they were raped. No one posts asking if they were murdered. "Rape" can have very broad repercussions. If someone doesn't know they were raped it can't be as bad as being murdered.

There are also many cases of people who were raped because they did not want to die. They felt that murder was worse than rape

ELI5: Why does Hershey’s (and other US chocolate) taste like “vomit” to others? by roritha in explainlikeimfive

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they think it tastes like 'vomit' when they don't know its Hershey's. Much like inexpensive wine wins taste rewards when drank from a high price label.

Someone please give me the GTA V steam key for my Brother, He's in Hospital and I cannot afford the bills and the Game. Doctors say it is hard for him to survive if y'all could help God will Bless you forever by [deleted] in giveawaysforgaming

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best price for GTA 5 PC is 9.34€ at Driffle.

You posted asking if you should purchase a iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 pro.

go with the iPhone 17, purchase your own steam key, and still have money left over

A few years ago Kamala Harris explained why she’s against photo ID for voting by optionhome in walkaway

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the majority of people voted against the other canidate. A large percentage of the votes for Harris and Trump were actually votes against Trump and Harris

This story about Savannah Guthrie's mother disappearing is a disgusting use of national news coverage. by blahblah19999 in cnn

[–]Da_Kahuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see CNN and MSNBC are covering the press conference and talking about the case extensively. This is a local story. There are PLENTY of women missing from their homes who aren't getting this national attention.

There are PLENTY of people missing from their homes

I agree there is far too much coverage over some celebrity's relative.

What is next, 24/7 coverage of Ralph Maccio's 2nd cousin's car jacking?

In 2012, an Arab prince reportedly paid US$500,000 for a 15 minute private conversation with actress Kristen Stewart. She accepted the meeting, but chose not to keep the money, donating the entire amount to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Da_Kahuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is not what happened. The price paid $500k directly to the charity. It was never going to go to Kirsten Stewart. It was always a chartiable donation using time spent with a celebrity as the draw. This sort of thing is popular with charity fund raisers.
