        hydrophobia isn’t fear of water.

        Yes, it is.

        Classically exhibited as a symptom of rabies, which is probably what you’re thinking.

        words do not decompose that way.

        Yes, they do.

          hydrophobia isn’t fear of water.

          Yes, it is.

          Oh, jesus christ. 98% of the time, “hydrophobia” does not refer to fear of water.

          words do not decompose that way.

          Yes, they do.

          Oh, jesus aitch fucking christ. No, they do not. You cannot divine the meaning of a word you’ve never seen before by breaking it down into sub-word units of meaning. That’s just not how the English language works. You can get some hints, but you cannot definitively know what a word means, and darn you for making me say something that basic and obvious out loud.

            Words used in medical terminology (Like many areas of science) were made using specific latin roots for a reason you numpty, and the reason why is so the definition is clear and set, and there won’t be some idiot insisting a word means something it doesn’t.

            Take hypoglycemia for example. Hypo: Low Glyc: Sugar -emia: In blood.

            Just try to divine what hypoglycemia could POSSIBLY mean given that information. It’s a bit more than a fucking hint.

            Dermatitis? Derma: Skin -itis: Inflammation. Sweet JESUS what ever could dermatitis mean?!?!?

            Next you’re going to tell me pericarditis, containing the roots Peri (Around) Card (Heart, Cardio) -itis (inflammation) means inflammation around the heart! Insanity!

            So what ever in WORLD could a medical condition named HYDROPHOBIA ever mean?

              Well you are both assholes for being so onbnoxious to eaxh other but both have valid points. You missed addressing phobia upstairs, which all contradict you.

              Hydrophobia usually refers to a material which repels water.

            Oh, jesus christ. 98% of the time, “hydrophobia” does not refer to fear of water.

            Perhaps true. What would you call somebody who was afraid of water, though?

            You cannot divine the meaning of a word you’ve never seen before by breaking it down into sub-word units of meaning.

            You absolutely can for many, many words.

            Not all words, of course. And some words, like hydrophobic, gain additional meanings over time.

            you cannot definitively know what a word means

            Sure, but this is a new standard that you seem have come up with in your rage.

              He’s probably referring to hydrophobicity in chemicals. Where the molecule is repelled by water. It’s often called hydrophobia as well.

              It’s a bad example for a bad argument.

                Yeah I guess this is more likely than rabies, though rabies is also referred to as hydrophobia.

                I’ve heard of materials being referred to as “hydrophobic” but never heard the discussion around that property as “hydrophobia.”

                It’s a bad example for a bad argument.

                Yes.

                It’s a great example, what do you mean?

                They are literally pushing back water with their bonds and are fully phobic of it.

    Snoop continued, “I didn’t come here for this shit! I just came to watch the goddamn movie!” He added, “Fuck me, I’m scared to go to the movies. They’re throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for.”

    Sounds like a “You” problem, Snoop.

      Snoop said that his grandson asked him, “Papa Snoop, how did she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!”

      This is the part that gets me. Its really not that complicated.

      If a kid is old enough to ask this then you can tell them “oh a doctor can make you pregnant with an operation”.

        forreal, people have such low opinion of what kids can understand (because they think kids have all their own same biases automatically)

        My partner teaches preschool, sometimes the kids ask her if she’s a boy. She says she used to be but she’s a girl now, the kids say “ohhh” and immediately move on. It only ever gets weird and confusing for the kids when the parents feel the need to argue that point.

      he sounds like a 55 year old white woman. putting his head in the sand, cause that sure gonna make everything go away that he doesnt agree with.

      just seen his new video clip yesterday, and its 100% ai generated. looks like he is rather selective about the new world.

    Disappointing but he won’t be the last rapper who expresses conservative views. Rap as a genre tends towards having materialistic and conservative lyrics so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised.

      It’s mixed. There’s the two major sides of that coin that I would split the style into and one is hyper materialistic and sexualized while the other is full of political commentary and sometimes even talks about mental health problems among other things. Like, while I’m sure you can find examples of both from any one artist there’s for sure a stark difference between Snoop here and A Tribe Called Quest.

      My parents had to explain “lesbians” to me because I didn’t know the word

      The concept of women living each other was just implicit

      It’s even more pathetic because the context was apparently Lightyear, where a lesbian couple has a kid, and the typical MAGA boomer reaction: “How do I explain that!?” Uh, people adopt, Snoop. Like, that’s always been a thing…

        Besides snoop being dumb, surrogacy is a thing.

        The fact is, its like a 2 minute convo where you just lay out the facts. Its only difficult if youre trying to indoctrinate your children or you hate talking to them.

    It’s easier to explain how a lesbian couple can give birth to a baby than it is to explain how an invisible man in the sky made someone pregnant 2000 years ago, but it didn’t stop snoop from becoming a born again Christian.
