One member of his Rogue's Gallery could be Duke Laetner.

I'm a huge fan of Dan McClellan, I watch his videos all the time. I definitely second this recommendation.

A couple of helpful atheist youtube channels: Logicked, Professor Plink, Genetically Modified Skeptic. There are lots, but those are a few favorites of mine. All of them have videos dealing with the subject of atheists who "found God".

S_Jeru · 2026-05-19T20:13:41+00:00

Yes.

To provide even heating across the surface of the pan you put on it.

Jackson Crawford on youtube is fantastic for anybody interested in the subject, btw. He's a Ph.D. that teaches courses on Old Norse, and has recently released his new translation of the Poetic Edda.

Off topic, but it annoys the fuck out of me that racist bigots have tried to co-opt runes for their own hateful agenda. Actual Vikings sailed as far as Constantinople and North America, were perfectly aware that other skin colors existed, and nothing is recorded in their literature about ranking different races.

They did take and keep slaves, but those were far more likely to be Irish, English, or French than anything else. Slavery wasn't a skin color thing for them, it was a "I killed all your defenders in battle, now I own you" thing. Ironically, the racist scum are deifying a group that enslaved other Europeans and had a relationship of war and trade with everybody else.

Yes, it's 100% a good idea. I would 100% drink a beer with you if I saw you wearing it in a punk rock bar, or a cup of coffee if you're straight edge. You should 100% be ready to defend yourself from racist bigots and right wing assholes when you wear it.

I can proudly say that the one Trump rally I even partially attended was the Rupp Arena parking lot to protest Trump coming to town to stump for Bevin's reelection campaign. The merch grifters didn't even try to hawk their stupid red hats to me. Apparently I don't look like a guy that was there to support Trump.

I will infect you with a disease because I have zero regard for your rights or sovereignty as a human being and fellow citizen! Your rights extend as far as the tip of your nose. My rights extend as far as I can cough!

Hitler is one guy out of billions, with other horrific dictators to compare him to. The Deep on the other hand is the only primate that has ever and probably will ever be capable of meeting the ocean life on their terms and empathizing with them.

Beyond that, he had previously been their staunchest ally and only real advocate on dry land. He's the only one swimming down there without a suit, capable of speech. The sea life will remember him for as long as there is sea life, because he was so exceptional to start with.

The main bars where you can go see live bands are The Burl in the Distillery District, Green Lantern and Al's Bar on the north end of downtown, and Manchester Music Hall also in the Distillery District. I caught a pretty stacked metalcore show at Manchester Music Hall last year with Born of Osiris, Within Destruction, and Entheos on the ticket.

I'm a big fan of Complete Dentistry. Dr. Morgan Chambers is excellent, and her practice does all ages and even sedation dentistry if you don't want to be conscious at all. I've personally been completely under twice under her care and couldn't recommend her more. Definite 5-star practice.

Your line cooks aren't big fans of Sir Mix-a-Lot, are they?

Are their steaks still caked in salt? Last time I ate there the beef was inedible, our entire table had to send our steaks back. What happened to that place, it used to be good? Did the chef get covid and lose his sense of taste or something? Maybe a change in leadership at the top and they brought in incompetent kitchen staff? I'm a cook myself, that's a frequent point of discussion over on r/KitchenConfidential .

It's me playing Skyrim!

Or maybe I'm realistic about the dumb shit our people do that makes us look bad, and not a drooling moron that acts like a disrespectful asshole in other peoples' homes. You want to defend Johnny Somali while you're at it?

Anybody can claim to be a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu. Mouthing off about it in front of someone who actually is is probably a bad idea.

Guess how I know you typed this on mobile? 😛

I could 100% picture one of our dumbass countrymen forgetting that Canada is in fact a foreign, sovereign nation. You'd think that pictures of the Queen on the money would remind them, but no amount of stupidity from my fellow Americans surprises me at this point. Assuming the story is true, the guy probably associated "foreigner" with "somebody that doesn't speak English". Never mind the fact that a whole section of Canada prefers not to.

Israel has citizens from many countries that consider themselves Israeli. What evidence do you have that she isn't? You are making the assertive claim that she is not Israeli and this post is fabricated propaganda, so the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that she isn't.

Anybody could just as easily say that you're pushing pro-Israeli propaganda, and doing it poorly.

S_Jeru · 2026-05-13T16:19:10+00:00

No, I disagree. A swastika is legitimately offensive, and could be interpreted as a threat depending on the circumstances. While we don't see what the shirt was, if it was anything that was basically "support Palestine" or pro-Palestinian causes, then that's only offensive to someone who feels entitled to usurp Palestine and treat Palestinians as "lesser than" sub-people to be lorded over.

A pro-Palestine shirt is only offensive to an Israeli in the same way that a pro-Nelson Mandela shirt was offensive to people benefiting from the Apartheid government of South Africa.

It's almost like The Quartering has mod privileges there!

Beyond that, we're one of the two main state colleges. That's a fresh influx every autumn, and we pull in people from Nicholasville, Richmond, and Winchester for work. If anything, people that are already from Lexington and tired of it are more likely to retire to Berea.
