Was Jesus Christ the first life coach, influencer? Second question, how did he support himself when he didn’t charge for his teachings? As far as I know, he wasn’t doing any affiliate programs or being paid by a platform.

Everyone knows where we get the words "cathartic" and "runcible" from, but where does the word "sockdolager" come from?

Everyone knows we get the word "cathartic" from the 13th century when the Cathars were stamped out and un-societized for being decent people, and that we get the word "brutal" from Brutus, the guy who stabbed Caesar 115 times in the senate and who loved anchovies and Garum. We all know we got the word "runcible" from cows and spoon-wielding planetary bodies.

But where does the word "sockdolager" come from?

In the 80s, all TV shows tried to give in each episode, a life lesson. Were you a despicable and piece of shit human being before watching those shows and thanks to those lessons, you are a decent person now?

Did Edward the Confessor really promise the throne to William the Bastard?

What do you think? Did he just make this up to have some legitimacy or do you think Edward really liked him and made this promise?
