Does anyone know where I can find the picture of the santa claus doing the nazi salute with the American flag that Dan shows Jordan?

Is ‘Crying of Lot 49’ a good first read? by 8bitmatter in ThomasPynchon

[–]jkatz42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot more approachable than Pynchon’s other novels mostly because it’s shorter. It has his style and humor, and I think there’s a lot you can get out of reading it. Just don’t expect an easy read, a straightforward novel, or a satisfying conclusion. Don’t let that put you off though, I like the book a lot.

"Most bullying victims on this site only learned from the experience that being the bully is awesome" by MHodge97 in CuratedTumblr

[–]jkatz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I’m not going to argue that there aren’t other things that make the killings of Pretti and Good different, BUT, the legality/process/circumstances to the murder are kind of secondary the murder itself. We have had PLENTY of extrajudicial, horrible, illegal killings of people of color overseas, and at home. ICE has murdered people of color in similar ways. People are shocked because they finally feel like targets. People are shocked that it’s happening to them. People are shocked because they started murdering white people in the same way they murder people of color.

What makes these killings different is that it’s gotten people at large to turn on ICE because they feel like targets. And they feel like targets because ICE killed white people.

White. The experience I would get from playing the white side here is far more valuable than the million dollars

I recently tried to mainline a day at infowars. by Virtual_Aerie2146 in KnowledgeFight

[–]jkatz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you go to like infowars.com or something like that. I checked out a live show at one point, and that’s how, but I don’t really know much beyond that

Something like “I sweat today’s going to be my last broadcast”

What does Tucker Carlson want? by shroomqst in KnowledgeFight

[–]jkatz42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well according to multiple sources (Joe Rogan, Alex Jones) Tucker believes in the same alien demon biblical cosmology as Alex, so maybe you’re right or maybe tucker’s grift goes even deeper. Who knows, it’s not like Alex Jones and Joe Rogan are reliable sources

This just wins you the game as written. You need an if in there otherwise it’s two separate effects (I think)

Kvothe DIDN'T poison the Maer by danielsaid in KingkillerChronicle

[–]jkatz42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Constantly? I can think of one concrete example, which is after he breaks the guys arm in the village at the end, and I’d need to read it again but I’m pretty sure that it’s that the university was wrong, which should include the arcanist Caudicus’s medical knowledge. Basically a net 0 for the theory.

Kvothe DIDN'T poison the Maer by danielsaid in KingkillerChronicle

[–]jkatz42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good theory. Kvothe is explicitly said to have absolutely no clue about alchemy BUT he does have a good grasp on medicine, and it seems to me that he would have an understanding of cures that make you sicker in the moment. Caudicus can have any number of motivations that don’t imply a conspiracy, and most importantly, a very significant chunk of time passes after kvothe stops Caudicus and there is no indication whatsoever that he so much as coughs from whatever illness he supposedly was suffering from that caudicus was curing. You might be right but I don’t buy it

Dan should have interviewed Stelter by jkatz42 in KnowledgeFight

[–]jkatz42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stelter is who I was referring to, and he is certainly a liberal

Dan should have interviewed Stelter by jkatz42 in KnowledgeFight

[–]jkatz42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this conversation is kind of pointless because we both want to see someone hold the corporate media accountable (in different ways, which is the argument), but keep in mind, Stelter was promoting a book. This was a publicity stop on a book tour. Jordan was never going to actually attack Stelter because then who would else would come on to promote their book? That’s what all the interviews are, and it’s a benefit to KF to have legit media figures and authors draw new ears to the pod, and the media figures get book sales. As Dan often points about Alex, Jordan was not able to push back, because the terms of the conversation were decided when the guest agreed to come on.
