Reply to How come rappers can get away with saying the most outrageous shit about women, but the second some indie acoustic pop whatever artist says something like “don’t be a slut” it’s considered the fall of western Fucking civilization? by [deleted]

People did criticize rap for that stuff for a long time, but the loudest voices that did were more conservative/religious types. Modern critics don't want to align or associate their brand of criticism with that type of social critic.

Reply to comment by jason_abacabb in TIL "A Christmas Story" was initially overlooked and only became a classic after Ted Turner purchased the rights and began airing it yearly on cable TV. by habalushy

There were a couple attempts at sequels. The best was the one from this year with a lot of the original actors - A Christmas Story Christmas. Wasn't a perfect movie, but as others have pointed out was much better than to be expected. Thought the 2nd half was particularly good.

He definitely makes too many leaps, like constantly. The whole "Let's talk about Atlantis" moment made me cringe during the series. There is some valid evidence of interesting things from longer ago than the 6000 years currently accepted.

You're really framing this in a strawman way. He does at times suggest that leap, but he more often is pointing out valid evidence of structures that go against the modern timeline of progress and is saying the current timeline is incorrect. Gobekli Tepe and the megalithic templea at Malta are both worth studying much more and in my eyes are strong evidence to reconsider the timeline of human technological capability.
