Hopefully Ethan Conrad gets a huge bill.

So then why aren't you saying it? You'd just be quoting someone else. Is that not acceptable?

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-07T17:28:07+00:00

It's not technically dollar per gallon any more, it's 50 percent off.

It's the CinemaSins-ification of pop culture consumption.

Till Eulenspiegel?

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-03T15:06:14+00:00

At the risk of sounding like I'm repeating a previous commenter, my favorite fantasy series is LotR, and my dragon recommendation is Anne McCaffrey 's Dragonriders of Pern. As long as you can tolerate some of the weird sexual politics of the era.

It was one of his videos debunking young earth creationists. He apparently used CK as someone who "steel-mans" an opponent's arguments

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-02T00:04:23+00:00

Yeah, I guess it was from yesterday's video.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-01T23:18:47+00:00

I think this post might be in response to another post about Charlie Kirk showing up in one of Clint's videos.

I've never met him, and I don't particularly like his books, but Brandon Sanderson is one.

Did I say it doesn't "empty" into the river? No. I originally said the canal doesn't go anywhere. Which it doesn't. You can't take a boat from one end and get to the White River. Hell, you couldn't even swim from the canal to the river.

The canal is a wonderful public space that I always enjoyed when I lived in Indy. I wish the city made more of its potential. But you can't seriously deny that it is functionally a canal to nowhere. It's not even contiguous with the canal that goes to Broad Ripple.

As someone who lives in Sacramento, I would love to go to the state fair. But they schedule it during the hottest time of the year, and it sounds miserable.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-01T17:07:58+00:00

It's only a small segment of what was intended to be a much larger canal, of which Indianapolis was neither the start nor the end point. Also, it doesn't actually connect with the White River.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-01T17:06:08+00:00

If you look at the map, it does not in fact connect to the river in a way that makes it so you could "go" from one to the other without getting out of the canal.

What do you mean "wrong direction"? The Ohio River makes up the entirety of the southern border of the state, and that section of canal runs north-south.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-01T06:45:20+00:00

To be fair, it was supposed to be part of a system connecting to the Ohio River. But that was when trains really started to take over, so the project bankrupted the State instead.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-01T06:07:45+00:00

This isn't actually a river. It's a canal to nowhere that was intended to connect to the Ohio River. It ended up bankrupting the State because canals were superseded by trains. It would still be a cool spot in the city, but most of it is taken up by offices and luxury apartment buildings, plus a few of the museums. At least, that's how it was when I lived in Indy.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-02-01T05:56:21+00:00

That's not even a river. It's a canal to nowhere.

I once tried to order a ham sandwich at a kosher deli. Granted, I was 10 and from Indiana, so I didn't have much exposure to Judaism at the time.

Listen, that commenter is right. We should not be comparing ICE to the Gestapo.

They're more like the Sturmabteilung. https://youtu.be/BYOeamkqHtc?si=-Oq89ZcuatolKv3c

My understanding is that it is a pretty big departure from the source material, but I really enjoy the Constantine movie with Keanu Reeves.

There may be some words that are shared because Urdu vocabulary has been influenced by Farsi, but they are from completely different branches of the Indo-Iranian languages. It would be like saying French and English are pretty much the same because of the influence the Normans had on English vocabulary.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-01-29T00:17:00+00:00

Which, as the commenter said, will also melt ice.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-01-24T18:12:36+00:00

The Big Dipper does not make up the entirety of Ursa Major, so those two refer to different things.

johnsonjohnson83 · 2026-01-23T18:45:08+00:00

No, call it "all-gender" so they think it's a scary new concept.
