"Is this the voice over fr? Just brutal",
"Yeah, the dubs in Squid Game were really bad lmao",
"this is kung pow level of dubbing",
"The voice acting is indeed sub par, but they also try to match the lips of what is being said in Korean to English words. That has to be pretty difficult to get even somewhat close while still retaining the general message. \n\nIt would probably be better to hire good voice actors and then just dub a more accurate translation regardless of their lips syncing up."

"I love psych",
"Love how much he added to the script with his pauses and reactions.",
"Interesting. It would be interesting to see other actors too. I wonder how much of Sean was influenced Roday. His portrayal there isn’t quite the same as in the show but there are definite vibes.",

"Believe it or not - that’s called good acting.",

"https://youtu.be/iFa_w2mOHWk \n1 minute 56 seconds in",
"Yeah it's basically word for word from the pilot, but obviously the show wound up much more polished.",
"Yes, because people say it [incorrectly](https://forvo.com/word/plethora/#en). Feel free to look in pretty much any dictionary (doesn't matter if it's BrE or AmE or AusE) and you'll see that the correct way is only that one.",
"/r/wooooosh",
"Nah it's fine, I like to inform people. You know it and I know it and now hopefully other people in here will know it too (especially non native English speakers). As a non-native English speaker I appreciate when I stumble upon random tidbits and trivia about language so I can learn from them. I don't particularly mind the downvotes since it's not like they do much. Maybe my original post was a bit too tone deaf (lack of sleep and random throwaway comments do that to me unfortunately) so I apologize about that, but it's not the end of the world either.",
"FYI you can just right click the vid and go 'copy URL at current time' or add \"&t=1m56s\" to the URL like this:\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFa\\_w2mOHWk&t=1m56s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFa_w2mOHWk&t=1m56s)",

"Please enlighten me. I mean genuinely. I have no idea what this show is or anything about it. I just heard the word \"plethora\" pronounced incorrectly and pointed that out.",

"Someone added a link above; https://youtu.be/iFa_w2mOHWk?t=104",
"1st off, I’d recommend watching at least the first two episodes to see if you’d like it.\n\n2nd- the gag is that the main character, Shawn, is constantly saying incorrect things and someone (usually his partner, Bruton Gaster) will call him out on it. His response is always, “I’ve heard it both ways”. They actually did a musical and have a song called ‘I’ve heard it both ways’.",
"I think you mean \"or yes\"",
"One of the main character’s bits is that he mispronounces words or misphrases idioms, then his partner corrects him, and he says “I’ve heard it both ways,” just so you know.",
"Last year, he changed back to his birth surname (Rodriguez) and kept his stage name of Roday as a middle name. His name now is James Roday Rodriguez. [Here is the story of why he made that decision.](https://www.newsweek.com/james-roday-rodriguez-name-change-1518066)",
"It's shockingly close to a scene in the pilot. The timing in the filmed pilot is better, because he and Dule Hill were really good together. But this character is essentially what you see onscreen - speech patterns, mannerisms, even the inflection on particular lines.\n\nAs I understand it, it's pretty rare for an actor to show up at an audition with the character essentially fully-formed and screen ready like this.",

"https://youtu.be/iFa_w2mOHWk?t=104",
"Cool fact.\nI liked his unexpected follow up chest clap.",
"This show is a great example of a show that could have gone terribly wrong with different casting. James and Dule, as well as the rest of the cast, were so perfectly cast that they made the show what it is.",
"Still the best show ever made",
"Psych is easily one of my all-time favorite TV show runs.",

"Don't you go Ed Lover on me!",
"I suppose this is funny when you love Psych because to me that I haven't seen the show, it's cringy.",
"Literally. They were producers and most of the iconic stuff were things they came up with off the camera between scenes.",
"It's supposed to be.",
"His audition was at a 7. He brought it down to a 3 for the actual show.",
"That's a really enlightening story. Sad that he had to hide his real name because he was either too diverse or not diverse enough.",
"The energy and personality that Shawn and Gus give off is so unique and specific and hilarious\n\nlove the show so much",
"Man, I can't imagine how hard it is to give a performance like that with the script reader just saying the lines. Its like hes reacting to a whole different person",
"Loved this show. Would not be the same without him or Dule. They really nailed guy friendship in this show. Antagonistic yet very warm and loving. Cmon son!",

"I believe you mean MC Clap Yo Handz",
"I've heard it both ways.",

"It took me forever to realize that kid was the dad in The Haunting Of Hill House",
"Deeper, then?",
"Is that Starburns?",
"Comedic timing seems so simple but it's so hard not to fly through the beats when you've memorized the joke. Even here he's at least getting reactions, I can't imagine how awkward it feels when you've recited the same joke in the table read then for multiple takes while filming to the point where you're saying it to no laughs or smiles.",
"Aka Brutal Hustler",
"The is my favorite show. I love the comedy style, the Chemistry of James and Dule, the dynam,ic of their characters, and I love all the obscure 80s references.",
"And with a new movie coming out next month! (On Peacock, meaning few will see it, but still.)",
"I kinda wish they’d do an online real world What If short where we get to see his interpretation and Glenn Howerton.\n\nI would love to see the Golden God try the Implication on the Benatar",

"I….can’t say…can’t reveal…my identity…but let’s just say…just comment…that I…am an old captain…an old soul…always going…boldly going…where no man…has gone before.",
"No, this is what a good audition looks like. Faaaaar too many look absolutely nothing like this. It’s a horrible, soul-crushing process for more than just the acting side of the table.",
"Oh my gosh! Christopher Walken?!?!",
"Where can I watch this show legally? It's 164 GB to download.",
"Dule being on Psych and West Wing with only a 6 week gap between the end of WW and start of Psych is insane to think about. He crushed it for 15 straight years on 2 absolutely beloved shows with very distinct styles. That’s some Kelsey Grammar level television prowess.",
"I mean it’s on prime video if you don’t want to pay you can make a new Amazon account with a new email and binge it all in a month.",
"Dule is wildly talented. I don’t think he gets enough credit or recognition for his acting range.",

"You live an exciting life, my friend.",
"I’ve heard it both ways",
"No laugh track in Psych. God, thinking of that show with a laugh track is just.... please no",
"It's also free on Peacock",
"I have no idea what that is. Ah, streaming.",
"It's NBC's streaming platform.",
"Take a look at nearly every Jewish actor and comedian. Jon Stewart for example.",

"MC Clap Yo Handz",
"I know, obviously Psych fanboys got angry and used the internet mace to punish.",
"The laughing was annoying.",
"Let's not forget Monk, such a great show with so much heart that probably paved the way for Psych to ever happen heh",
"That was aweomse lol :D",
"He did write and or cowrite many episodes. he directed some episodes as well. And on set he had the chance from the creators to improv often."

"Uncle Roger had 1 funny video, the BBC Food fried rice video. That’s it.",
"I liked the bubble tea one, and the one where he helps a friend run her shop.\n\nThere were a couple others that were fun too, but I also enjoy cooking so i'm somewhat biased."

"You say you're gonna kill someone , noone cares.\nYou say you would blow someone else and everybody loses their minds.",
"If I recall correctly, this guy claimed he was gonna shoot up his school, and then end his own life. He gave a date for when he was gonna commit the schoolshooting (just said a random day in the month) and it appeared to be a saturday... \n\nThis whole thing was so absurd. He went to jail for, what, 10 years? God damn dude.",
"This video is a precise example why you should never, ever, try to represent yourself in court.",
"Well spoken. If only one of the things said is the truth, this was a travesty of justice.",
"Before 9/11 people threatened each other all the time and no one ever really took it seriously.",
"My bad - he said he would level his school - but did also refer to school shootings. It may be a mixture of both. \n\n​\n\nAnd yeah... poor guy got 6 years. Have a watch, it's really powerful. \n\nhttps://www.pcgamer.com/au/man-jailed-6-years-for-threats-made-in-runescape-finally-released/",

"This is not my experience with fake id's. There were about 20 kids in my grade with fake IDs. Maybe it helps we were from a rich white town but no one got in trouble even when caught with them. The cops just basically took the ID and said \"oh you.\"",
"Chucklefuck was given the opportunity to make a statement in allocution, declined it, then tried to interrupt the sentencing judge. \n\nSentencing hearings occur after a conviction, so where is he coming from with these claims of accusations that were never previously leveled? If the sentencing was based on facts not in evidence, that would also have come up in the appeal he lost. \n\nNone of this holds together.",

"Can’t take someone with that shirt seriously",
"You probably never did endless boring speeches like that dude, which saved you from a longer sentence.",
"I can see how he got such a long sentence. There's a lot of damning evidence here.\n\nPrevious girlfriends that testified that he was obsessed with Columbine and had drawn up plans for how to attack the school. A game on his computer called \"Super Columbine Massacre RPG\". Documents detailing how to make explosives. And thrown on top of that is a history of drug addiction and trouble at school.\n\nEven if this was all just a huge misunderstanding and he was just an edgy troubled kid, he made it real easy for them to see him as the next Columbine waiting to happen.",

Punishment was deserved, but six years was overkill. That’s my entire point. I never justified what I said or did, it was wrong and I paid a price. The price was simply too heavy for what I did given the evidence. My story is a tale of caution not one of “give me attention.” \n\nBut you guys will think what you want.

"You were handling a business dispute in an illegal trade. While not justified, you had a reason for doing what you did, and the courts didn't care about you or your potential victim because you were both criminals in their eyes.\n\nThis guy was planning a mass-casualty event against children.

"so...maybe read some of the *other* comments? lol",
"I had no idea what was going on until you made a comment to me. I don't usually go back and check threads and there was like 4 comments when I made mine, all saying this was an injustice.\n\nPlus, the dude himself is now in the thread saying it's all bullshit, which could be the case - can you say for sure? Our justice system is a for profit jail system that puts away innocent people all the time, or gives crazy sentences for non-violent crimes. There is literally no way to know what is really going on.\n\nSix years is pretty long for a \"threat\" with no weapons on hand, and sounds like maybe more of a psychological issues more than a criminal issue. Seems pretty young too (to me at least), especially if six years ago. He's now a convicted felon for making a young dumb mistake. Is this Minority Report now? \n\nIt's not that he shouldn't have faced some kind of intervention or punishment, but again, I see crazy threats in video games all the time. Enough that all I can do is mute and not worry about it. I'm not trying to excuse him, but it seems like this might have gone a little far. Also, I see about his girlfriends testifying, so I watched another video on that quickly and there is some shady shit going on there. She was fucking one of the kids of the prosecutor and they were going to charge her with child pornography or some shit. \n\nSo, again, I don't know what to think.",

Poor judgement? Probably guilty. Is this an issue for a psychiatrist or truly criminal. \n\nSince when does reddit love the justice system? We think it's fair and handles cases well now? I'm just wondering if it's correct to be sent to jail for 6 years for basically being an edgy dumbass.",

Google searches, no matter how vile is not illegal - nor should it be. \n\nIf I were searching \"What does human meat taste like?\" or \"How do I prepare human meat?\" or \"How do I dissect a person?\" after telling someone in a game, \"I'm going to eat you alive!\" should I be convicted? Does this mean I'm going to murder and eat someone? Or just curiosity? Just being morbid? It may be vile or perverse (vore), but it doesn't mean I would act on it. \n\nThere's a real slippery slope here, but people don't seem to like this guy, so it's all OK, I guess.",

So, yes, the burden of proof is on you, GaylordRetardson.",
"The people here judging you for shit they know nothing about are exactly what caused this horrible situation in the first place. Uninformed people believing whatever they're fed by the first google result and instantly choosing that's the side they're going to take. I've heard your story about a year ago on a podcast and decided to dig into it a little deeper and agree 100% with everything you adressed in this video. Weren't we all edgy teenagers at some point? I'm not excusing it but it's just something that doesn't reflect who you really are or turn out to be. Don't let these people get to you and keep doing what you do. \n\nP.s. when everyone talked over you when you mentioned Red Rising Trilogy on the podcast really sucked. Would've loved that topic!",
"> \n> There's a real slippery slope here, but people don't seem to like this guy, so it's all OK, I guess.\n\n\nI'm on the fence about this guy. There's a lot of \"corroborating\" evidence, based on browser history, saved items on his computer, and testimonials from other people. I do not know enough about the precise nature of who he threatened or why to know how credible any of it is, however.\n\nTo answer your question, the difference lies in if your online threat was detailed, specific, and actionable. If you yelled on call of duty \"I'ma kill you asshole!\" that's one thing. If you yelled \"I'ma go to John Smith High school, where you go to class, and blow up your class using a c4 package built into a backpack that I will leave under your desk!\" and then you had a whole bunch of stuff on your computer detailing how to enact that exact plan, or other people outside of your COD match heard you discussing or planning the attack, then that is a specific threat and is actionable in most legal situations.\n\nIt's all about the scope, and I don't know enough to judge. What I DO know is he's complaining at his sentencing judge, NOT whoever convicted him. That implies he himself is not fighting whether or not he's guilty, merely how severe a punishment is required.",
"I have no idea what you did and I'm certainly not going to watch a 25 minute video or even spend ten seconds googling you. However, what I will do is judge you harshly for the Blink 182 shirt and that hunk of garbage in the background that Marshall tried passing off as an amplifier. I'm riding a totally different high horse over here pal.",
"Gaylord u ain't retardson",
"The case was about establishing whether the threat he made was credible or not.\n\nIf you say you're going to shoot up your school and they find documents on your computer about columbine and making bombs, that's pretty fucking admissible.\n\nNot so much the drugs and school issues, but it's evidence of character or something I guess.",
"I don't really have anything to add except I totally agree with you. I'm not really down with throwing people in prison for years when there really isn't any victims in the case.",
"The part about instructions on how to make a sawnoff shotgun is hilarious because that isn't something that requires instructions.",
"Columbine was before 9/11. After that, things got weird.",
"Yeah, that was the beginning of things tightening up. My school turned into some Squid Game shit almost overnight.",
"I mean I can buy a switch that converts a Glock to select fire but that doesn't mean ordering it isn't going to result in some dudes from HSI, ATF or any number of other 3 letter agencies paying me a visit.",
"Seriously, I didn’t post this and it’s about me and usually Reddit isn’t this toxic and judgmental. People are in here crying about all kinds of shit when they only now heard of this case that’s been going on for over nine years. They googled my name, read two sentences of a government motion, made their minds up about me, and flocked to talk shit as if I made this video for their own entertainment. \n\nI don’t feel the need to defend myself on Reddit when everything everyone is bitching about is allllll explained on my channel, but clearly these people don’t want to actually do any research or hear any other side of the story besides *one* government *motion* which doesn’t have to contain fact at all. \n\nI have 40k subs on YouTube, this Reddit thread isn’t the first people to Google my name, it’s just that typically young people are a bit more understanding. \n\n\nJudge away and downvote and call me a psychopath or whatever all you guys want. I have a successful Twitch channel and do alright on YouTube and I have a beautiful family that I support from it. Nothing else really matters to me, though it is unfortunate to see so many sensitive pussies in my own age group. What I said was wrong and punishment was deserved, I never denied that - but my sentence was overkill. The only people who disagree have never done a single night in jail, let alone six years like I did.",
"He said what he said",

"Ahah thanks for the links, never seen this one. I was cracking up at the office.",
"Is Andy thinner than Conan?",
"I was hoping the tooting tots were going to play a song titled \" we will miss your mug\"",
"> Therefore I believe that most of these Conan posts are actually pushed by the Conan socials team\n\nConan's talk show went off the air in June of this year, so anything posted after that point isn't really going to help the show...",
"Is no one going to mention the comb over?",
"To be fair they do specifically mention that this skit is the definition of “not for everyone”.\n\nI loved it. Total absurdist humor that outstays it’s welcome, which then *becomes* the joke.",
"I'm not American either but I absolutely love Conan. He just seems like such a great person and he is so quick with his jokes, he's smart, respectful, etc. \n\nI really got into him through his podcast though. I believe that's where he is at his best. Also his schtick with his associate producer Jordan Schlansky (mp?) never gets old.",
"I watched Conan from 99 till his last episode, I can say with 100% conviction, Andre Du Buchet killed this show. The tone and quality of skits once Stack left was such a drop off they never had a chance. Losing Deon Cole didnt help either.",
"Conan videos from the past 3 years are such lesser quality than the previous 2 decades. He had such good writers up until 2018ish, and after that it was a burning house.",
"What are you doing outside of the Blue Jays sub?",
"We're always planning ahead Mr. O'Brien.",
"Good lord, that was hilarious hahahaha thank you",
"How tf is this a behind the scenes, this is just a react video that is somehow even less effort than a twitch streamers react content",
"Conan is, surprisingly, a certified chonky.",
"[Here is the original sketch](https://youtu.be/Ya4RNdZtPow) if anyone wants to watch it without the pop-up reaction shots.",
"I got lost and I can't find my way back!",
"Does COnan have a basketball under his shirt?",
"\nHow many Larrys have to die on his show before Conan finally does the right thing?",
"For the demographic that Reddit skews, Conan is the go-to talk show. And he recently stopped doing his talkshow after 20+ years, makes sense you'd see him more often in recent months as people reminisce. \n\nThe Daily Show has a talk show-esque setup but it's content is more politically driven. Americans are constantly bombarded by political discourse on live tv like it's some TV show drama, being able to sit back and watch some slapstick comedy with little to no political discussion is a breath of fresh air for a lot of people, myself included.",
"They literally talk about the decisions made behind the scenes, the way they built props, their process of creating that and other sketches.",
"I don't know why you're being downvoted, but I agree. The old writers were gold, they did random stuff, but it didn't take itself seriously, so it worked. \n\nThis skit actually shows what went wrong: They take a funny and random idea, but milk it to death, drag it out for way too long. Also, Du Buchet and the other modern writers are bad actors. McCann, Stack and Blitz already made you laugh when you looked at them.",
"Correct, im not worried bout downvotes tho, id rather just say the truth. I love Conan, I think tv is better when Conans on his game.\n\nI think conans just a really nice normal person and he wasnt willing to fire his friends (the current writters) and the easiest way to fix the issue was leave the tbs show and make the hbo one with a new crew, thats my theory.",
"Conan is a chonky boy. Andy did lose a lot of weight over the years though.",
"The whole concept of a joke that goes on for too long that eventually circles back around to being funny again is a really difficult thing to pull off. Everybody has a different threshold for when it finally hits that sweet spot and for some people that point just never comes, so skits like this are always divisive.\n\nFor me though, I really appreciate that Conan’s show did stuff like this. My reaction was basically the same as Andy’s from that recorded segment at the end. It’s really the audacity that holds the skit together. It’s the difference between enjoying being rickrolled and being annoyed by it. You kinda have to enjoy being trolled a little bit.",
"Love this and never seen it. Thanks OP!",
"pandemic baby",
"That makes no sense. What's the difference between ending a show and not bringing along a certain writer or writer(s) and firing them from the TBS show? It's the same thing to the affected writers.",
"I think its just a nicer way of doing it, especially with how I would only assume they are friends to an extent. I dont think its the only or even main reason he moved shows but I imagine it was a large incentive.",
"I was almost peeing myself laughing during the Viking burial song. I can't believe I never saw that one before.",
"The last six minutes are behind the scenes, the first six minutes are react",
"This is the most Eric Andre that Conan has ever been.",
"Hey!! Everyone is super dooper mean to Andy... c'mon!! That sad fuck cant defend his sad bloated carcass to save his limp life.. jerks, ugh",
"The sort of weird, random shit that would happen in sketches was also why I started watching Conan. Even as a kid I was really into that style of humor",
"Merriam Webster defines \"behind the scenes\" as...\n\n\"revealing or reporting the hidden workings\"\n\nPretty sure they are reporting the hidden workings of why and how that sketch came to be..."

"I think this film is better than **Wages of Fear**. But the main reason it failed was its title. The audience was expecting a follow-up to director William Friedkin's **The Exorcist**.",
"Yeah totally, Sorcerer has very little to do with the main events in the film",
"Well, it's the name of the main truck transporting the nitro.",
"That's true but a truck transporting nitro is not what people think when they read the title Sorcerer",
"Exactly my original point.",
"William Friedkin's remake of Wages of Fear that he made, as the story goes, because he discovered Tangerine Dream too late to use them for the musical score to The Exorcist, and really wanted to do a movie they could score. \n\nThough the Mike Oldfield music in The Exorcist is excellent.",
"The bridge scene still gives me chills every time. \n\nWhen i rewatch it, I really love how some parts are just devoid of any background music. I don't know if was a product of the time or they really wanted to show that these guys are isolated and there is just nothing to make any noise around them. It's eerie!",
"Just from the trailer, I can guess it should've been called \n\nCodename: Sorcerer \n\nProject: Sorcerer \n\nSomething like that.",
"Is this the remake or is it the other?",
"How many people died in that \"controlled\" explosion?",
"This looks incredible.. definitely giving it a watch. Thanks OP!",
"Big shout for the music of Tangerine Dream. Haven't heard this in years.",
"That and it released at the same time as a movie that did quite well called Star Wars......\n\nCinemas with multiple screens were showing Star Wars on every one because they were selling out of tickets so fast.",
"TD are the best! Been revisiting horror classics and was happy to see they did the score for Scanners too.",
"Yes, it's a remake of Wages of Fear by Henri-Georges Clouzot.",
"Wages of Fear is soooo much better than Sorcerer.",
"Yeah, but IIRC the word is not uttered a single time by any human.",
"\"Sorcerer\" should not be part of the title at all.",
"Maybe you wouldn't expect a movie about dudes driving trucks full of dynamite through the jungle to be a masterpiece, but you'd be wrong.\n\nThis movie is absolutely riveting.",
"So the whole Bill Burr truck transport storyline in Mando was based on this film.",
"You're the worst kind of person.",
"Sorcerer is a remake of Wages of Fear. Friedkin was inspired to make the film when he discovered Tangerine Dream and wanted to collaborate with them. \n\nEven as a run on sentence is easy to understand with a little reading comprehension.",
"So ... nothing to do with Sorcery, as in magical sorcery?",
"heard they were doing a 4k remaster but that was a while ago now.",
"It was a church.",
"Why?",
"It's a pretty good movie, but it hasn't aged super well. Also, [Tangerine Dream recently did a thing in a studio and it was magical](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-F_kjnDu40). \n\nAs a side note if you like Tangerine Dream, you'll love [John Carpenter's stuff too....yes that John Carpenter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyNuWCjc-bg)",
"Because it's nothing more than a name painted on the side of a truck.\n\nThe characters didn't name the truck. They never refer to it by any name. No one ever says it. It just happened to be the name painted on the side of the truck that is given to the characters. The camera barely lingers on the word for more than few seconds.\n\nThere are two trucks. The other truck has a name too, but it is equally irrelevant and never spoken.\n\nIf no one told you the title of the movie, it's likely you would not remember the name of either truck when the credits roll. It's just not important.",
"Uhh, where's the actual sorcery?",
"It still holds up, seriously, watch this film! I was lucky enough to see a 35mm print and I was at the edge of my seat the entire time.",
"[What am I to believe?](https://i.imgur.com/FsJVmIz.png)",
"I honestly think they were married to the idea because they were trying to follow a title pattern with \"The Exorcist\". Creative on paper but also incredibly stupid",
"That's not a run-on sentence... it is a complex sentence. Know the difference.",
"One of the greatest films of all times. Never experienced consistent mounting tension in a film quite like Sorcerer.",
"That explosion at 1:21!",
"I'm going to be real, I don't think it aged well. The first act is SLOW. Like super slow and in the end mostly pointless...sure it introduces the characters in each vignette, but it took a long time to get to Porvenir with the first act. While it is typical late 70s/early 80s story telling, I don't think this part aged well and honestly most people look at it through rose tinted glasses.\n\nWhen we hit Act 2, in Porvenir, it starts to pick up, but again, it takes a while to get rolling. It's a slow burn and honestly could have been cut down to about 15 minutes. The typical slow burn tropes are rolled out, and not to spoil things, but the \"twist\" that happens in this act you can see from a mile away. It's meant to be a surprise, but it's not and honestly, it would have been better to NOT have the twist as it kind of kills part of the stress in Act 3.\n\nAct 3 is by far the best part of the movie and this is why people love it. This has actually aged ok, but there are some tropes that get trotted out that will immediately date it. There is a bit of a surprise here and honestly, you can feel the stress. However, it doesn't totally make up for the short comings of the first two acts. It honestly makes two of the characters journey's fairly pointless, especially given how one of them \"completes\" the journey. \n\nThis dovetails into Act 4/the Epilog. I know the movie is about the futility of life and karma, and the politics/frustrations of Central America at the time, but the end was a great twist in the 70s, but now it's something that isn't a surprise and even expected, given the rest of the themes. \n\nThe acting is top notch and the score is fantastic though.",
"Wow, I actually mentioned Wages of Fear in a comment earlier today. I had no idea there was a remake. I will definitely have to watch this.",
"Hmm... and you are calling someone an asshole.\n\nAre you familiar with the concept of projection?",
"Hold on, is that fucking BRON!? At 1:47",
"Watched it recently and so gooood! Thanks qt for telling me about it!",
"Looks similar but I'm pretty sure that's the dude from Jaws."

"Lawd why I’m bout to cry at 4:48 in tha mornin?!?",
"That was a blast of feels. Wow.",
"As a father of a son that spent his first 50 days of life in the NICU weighing just 3lbs, I can honestly say, there's absolutely nothing I'd let stand in the way of him smiling and flying. Sometimes it takes awhile for parents to understand this but sometimes parents are humbled from the very beginning. He's nearly 2 now and just by looking at him and interacting with him, you'd never know how much he's overcome.\n\nThis was a great short and pulled on the heart strings for sure but it would've been even stronger if it at the end, it showed the people's perception of him and he wasn't actually flying but just pretending to. Either way, I'm gonna hug my son so hard when I get home.",
"Please elaborate on why this reminds you of your kid? \n\nI am genuinely curious. It’s a beautiful animation though 🙂",
"Not OP but the video kind of demonstrates some struggles for a parent of a child with autism. The parent spends so much time and energy worrying about what others think instead of just letting the kid be different. The dad loves the kid but doesn't want people judging him. At the end he embraces what makes the child different from everyone else and they're both happier for it.",
"While my child is not autistic, he does have ADHD. The rocks in the backpack remind me of how we have to drug the poor boy before he goes off to school everyday. He reminds me very little of the boy I know when he's medicated but there's not a suitable alternative for us aside from medication. I wish I could just let him float but he can't keep up with his peer or not become a distraction to the class without the meds. It sucks.",
"I expected \"who's chopping onions in here?\" and instead I got that [spring-loaded, giant hand, thing from that Jackass movie](https://youtu.be/QNY6kfLMwYU?t=121), full of chopped onions to the face",
"As a father period, this got me right in the feels. It's the reminder that we can lose our cool on our children and expect them to conform, but sometimes we need to embrace and understand. Our children are not us, they are their own person, and we need to embrace and support. It's better than shutting them down and forcing conformity. I love my kiddos, and it's hard to not get angry at them. I see myself as the man yelling at his son and I've seen my kiddos have that look of disappointment and sadness plus tears. It hits right in the guilt. The happiness afterwards is where we eventually get, but it takes time. This was a great short.",
"I don't know if this will be any comfort to you, but I'm an ADHD person who grew up unmedicated and while I managed to muddle through most of school, my self esteem was in tatters. I couldn't understand why I couldn't just *do* things other people could do. I struggled with depression and anxiety, I self harmed, I lashed out at people I cared about, I had an eating disorder, I felt I had no place in the world. For a while I even self-medicated with drugs. \n\n \nTaking medication was a choice I made for myself when things finally got too much for me, and it was life changing. \n \nI am still me - I'm creative, I talk too much, I am way too sensitive to noise, textures and lights, I have about a billion different interests and I get *so* excited about new things. And new people especially. But I can also stay awake in meetings. I can pay my bills. I can be a good girlfriend. I can go weeks without having an emotional meltdown over nothing. \n \nSo, even though no two ADHD people will ever be exactly the same, I hope that medication means your boy will never have to struggle as hard as I did. Maybe medication will allow him to breeze through some of the things that would have otherwise been a big hurdle for him - which means he'll have more time and headspace and energy to focus on the things that make him float :)",
"Damn, I didn't even think about the rocks as a metaphor for medication. Good call. You'd think it was obvious but I just attributed it as a way to \"normalize\" him by weighing him down so he wouldn't fly around. So much deeper.",
"As someone with ADHD, this was EXACTLY what I thought of at that scene. \n\nIt was the perfect way to visualize how it felt being on meds back in middle school. Like I could almost feel all the things I used to think of as \"fun\" drain out of me. Once the Ritalin/Adderall kicked in I ONLY wanted to do school work. \n\nOnce the school work was over the drugs were still there, and I would get frustrated to tears because I WANTED to do something fun, but nothing seemed fun anymore. My friends would come over and ask if I wanted to ride bikes to the baseball field which I used to love, but when on the meds it just seemed pointless. My mind KNEW it was fun and that I liked it, but just didn't want to do it at that time. \n\nI felt like my personality was being weighed down in trade for being better at school. \n\nNot to mention the insecurity it creates. Who am I without the drug? The meds make you feel like you're using your full learning potential but at the cost of your personality. But everyone wants to be smart right? How can I call myself intelligent if I need a medication to do it? Charisma has always been my specialty, am I willing to take that away to focus more on studies and jobs? Why cut away at my personality to appease a job?\n\nSuch an odd concept to wrestle with as a kid. 32 now and still think about it a lot. Haven't taken meds in years but sometimes I really think about trying it out again and finishing up college, or laser focusing on a hobby.",
"I'm confused, are you saying that floating or flying shouldn't portray autism because it's a positive thing and autism isn't?",
"Can I ask what med you ended up using? I was thinking about getting back on meds after not taking them for the past 17 or so years, but I only remember there being 2 options when I was a kid which was Ritalin and Adderall. Are you on either of those or have they had and changes in options?",
"> I don't know if this will be any comfort to you\n\nIt is actually, thank you for taking the time to reply :)",
"I'm in the UK so we don't get Adderall here, but I started off on Ritalin and eventually changed to Vyvanse (called Elvanse in the UK) which you can get in the US and I've heard it's better than Adderall from my American friends. \n \nRitalin definitely helped but it gave me a very anxious energy - like I could do the things I needed to do, but I felt like I was doing them out of a sense of urgency. I became very snappy with people who interrupted me when I was focussed and I would get quiet and withdrawn when they wore off on an evening. \n\n \nVyvanse feels calmer - I do the things I need to do because I feel happy to do them. And when they wear off, I am just normal ADHD me again (which is a blessing and a curse lol).",
"I hear you. His charisma is one of the things I miss most. He's such a witty little smart ass and I love it. His teachers do not.",
"Thanks so much! I think I'm gonna ask my doctor about looking into it. \n\nI had used both Ritalin and Adderall growing up and they definitely worked on getting you to laser focus on something, but at a massive cost. I'll look into the one you mentioned!",
"Thank you for posting this. I'm on the Autism spectrum, my wife has ADHD, my oldest has both ADHD and is on the autism spectrum and my youngest is also on the spectrum. My middle child somehow as far as we can tell is 'normal' and struggles with all of us. I'm not medicated and never really have been. I'm not sure I would be able to do the things I do if I were. I've only recently been diagnosed (in my 40s) and it explained a lot about the struggles I had as a teen and in my early 20s.\n\nIt's always a challenge trying to figure out what to do.",
"The song “[No Happy Birthday” by Hayden](https://youtu.be/l15FCKvcAxs) is about his autistic son. I’m a father without autistic sons, and I can barely make it through these 4 minutes. \n\nHayden is a brilliant singer and songwriter, but the only song his son ever wanted to hear him play was Happy Birthday. It’s what inspired the song.",
"same, not even a dad but I'm a mess now",
"I think You’re missing the point on several levvels.\n\nSaying that autism is a kind of brain damage is at the very best very presuptious and at Worst factually wrong and offensive. Many (but not all) people on the spectrum have skills and abilities far surpassing their peers, which doesn’t fit well with the claim of brain damage.\n\nAlso assuming that the ability to float/fly in a world where nobody else can do it is also quite an assumption. I can think of many ways this would not be a good thing.\n\nFinally you’re just pain old missing the point. The person who wrote the film has an autistic son and try to illustrate the issues and challenges of having a child that doesn’t fit in or is able to completely conform to a neuro-typical world.",
"Absolutely bawled my eyes out at that. My eldest has Asperger's and I've been in some horrible situations with people staring, judging, commenting on how we should teach him some manners, so that hit really hard. I'm waiting for an autism assessment for myself now, in my 30s...I have some similar difficulties to him, and we've struggled with each other a lot. We bond closely over cycling, STEM, books, all sorts of interesting stuff though. He's pretty geeky, and it's nice to have someone to geek out with."

"They were doing ok... then all star happened.\n\nAll their passion and love of performing died because that song harrassed them for a decade straight. \"Who cares about that other shit, play all star!\" Over and over.\n\nBetween health problems and the loss of drive, this is whqt it looks like when a band is coasting for a paycheck with no fucks left to give. It's the curse of one hit wonders, and it's why, usually, bands who get one hits without a strong prior background will flounder.",
"Yup. Band hates all star and it basically killed their drive.\n\nMost one hit wonder bands die off because their hit kills their drive. No strong back catalogue means everyone just demands that one song, so nothing new can take hold. Eventually they get sick of it, lose their energy, and new songs suffer for it. This means more reuqests for the hit, and when that hit dies, so does the band.\n\nSmash mouth to a T.",

"His retirement was just announced. I wouldn’t wish his life on anyone. It is rather tragic (lost a son to cancer)",
"All Star was their biggest, but they certainly had other hits across several albums:\n\n* Walkin on the Sun\n* I'm a Believer\n* Can't get enough of you baby\n\nBack during those years they were huge, but they simply faded as most bands eventually do. Maybe it was success, lack of motivation, alcohol/drugs, interpersonal issues. Who knows. Personally, I suspect 9/11. Crazy idea, but all of their hits came out before then. Once that happened, absolutely no one was interested in that kind of happy, retro-pop vibe. I think most, if not all, of the late 90's really early 2000's pop bands just kinda took a step back after that.\n\n9/11 killed Smash Mouth, too.",

"Rick Astley broke the curse.",
"Oh ffs",
"I saw MGMT in like 2009 and they ended their set after like twenty minutes and played hacky sack in the parking lot. No enthusiasm for them. Not a one hit wonder band, but arguably a one hit album band.\n\nEdit: I meant to say \"there was no enthusiasm in them\"",
"Unsure why you're being downvoted. It absolutely was from what I saw. Idk.",
"Note 2 of the 3 other hits you mentioned are covers...",
"if everyone is wasted does anyone care?",
"I’m a believer doesn’t count. It wasn’t their song, it was written by Neil Diamond and performed by the monkeys, they just did a cover.",
"Funny you call them a meme band when the bulk of their popularity was before meme was even a thing.",
"Same difference. Replace one song wih an album, still kills. They can't make anything new and everything before feels like shit when they see how much love the album got.",
"And that leads to excessive drinking (*during* the show no less) and threatening to kill audience members? Weird, someone should update WebMD.",
"Yes and no. It was a farily big hit, but no one hit wonder. It took 2 decades for it to become the meme it was, and by then the one hit curse was long past its ability to hurt him.",
"I dont see the problem here, this is the *good* kind of disaster.",
"Smersh Merth.",
"2/3 covers, one of which popped off right behind all star (thanks shrek).\n\nThey got one extra hit in, but then it was all all star. It wouldn't go away, and I would say that 9/11 theory is pretty good. The main problem is that all star survived, so now they're stuck in that retro pop vibe and can't get out. Still a prison of a song, unfortunately.",
"MGMT is a special case. Their first album was literally recorded as a joke. They were looking to record the most inane, meaningless pop-songs they could. Like, it was supposed to be a caricature... but it turned into a worldwide pop hit instead, which in a way proved their point... but also meant they now needed to tour for it and play these songs seriously.",

"Do you have a source on that? I happened to be around for the making of that album and my understanding was the poppier material was written when they were extremely young, as in 13 or so. I got to listen to multiple demos of Kids that were recorded in the years before the actual album.",

"I think this was the joke, and this is just my opinion. Their first album was meant to be derivative, but better than anyone else in that genre. And then bands come out and copy them. Total conjecture lol",
"I remember a while back there was footage of another chaotic show. Someone threw bread at the singer or something and he got super pissed off and was threatening to beat the guy's ass but the band was playing the intro to All Star the entire time as he was losing his shit and those two things combined just made it into one of the best things ever captured on camera.\n\nFound it! skip to about 30-40 seconds in https://youtu.be/m001XNiwQzw?t=40",

"You telling me they made [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6HXS11l4sw) as a joke ?",
"Like I said in another reply.\n\n2 were covers which doesn't give anywhere near thesatisfaction of getting your own work recognized.\n\n1 died out relatively quickly, especially when shrek boosted all stars and the believer cover to meme status even back in 2001.\n\nAll star was the only unique song they had that was a long term success, and it was constantly jammed down their throat for the past 2 decades.",
"yep. and after this video made the rounds the singer announced his retirement because thats what it took for him to realize hes washed up.",
"For real:\n\nJohnny Cash doing Hurt, UB40s version of Red Red Wine, Clapton's I Shot the Sheriff is the one that charted IIRC...",
"same lead singer who talked shit about covid and had a concert where a bunch of people got sick? same guy who has been off the fucking rails for ages now and is a massive douche?\n\ngood riddance to this band.",

"Hmm, you might be on to something. I was just thinking the other day how it seems pop culture hasn't had the same kind of fundamental change in the last 20 years that you see in previous decades. I mean, the 80s were *way* different in tone and style than the 70s, which were different than the 60s, which were different than the 40s, and so on back to pre-Victorian era where things broaden out again. But other than advances in the internet (social media, Web 2.0, smart phones) 2021 doesn't really look and feel all that different than, say, 2006. Or maybe it's just because I'm 50 now and not at \"ground zero\" of pop culture anymore?

The reason you get drunk is because you overwhelm your liver with alcohol, and so the alcohol ends up in your blood and brain - 12 beers at once is obviously going to get you more drunk than 12 beers over the span of 4 hours, and that's because you're giving your liver more time to process the alcohol, so it doesn't get as overwhelmed, so you get less drunk.\n\nBread works the same way.

But then there are interviews from the same time with Lennon and Harrison saying they just wrote/recorded Beatles songs as they normally did for that album and didn’t pay any mind to Paul’s concept, outside of the album cover. But plenty of critics still write about “Sgt Pepper’s” as if it was an in-character album because Paul said so in some old interviews.",

Why would he do the exact same thing after but put his hand low instead of high? Why would he be gesturing normally throughout the conversation, but take two small breaks to throw up Nazi salutes before going right back to gesturing normally? It seems like a pretty huge reach.",

Audio console hire = $300. Backline hire = $700. Accomodation = $150pp (8x150 = $1200). Crew @ $500/day and $250/travel day = $2250 ($750x3) Thats $7050 bare bones minimum and you haven’t even accounted for booking agents fees (take off 10% leaving $9000) manager fee (conservatively let’s also say 10% which is on the lower end leaving $8000) potentially record label fee, but probably not for these guys so let’s leave that out. \nSo on the lowest no frills tour of a band at this level you’ve already spent $9050 before walking on stage for a gig you had to fly to interstate. That leaves $950 for the band, or $237 each. \nOf course you can save here and there especially if on a bus for multiple shows, but a lot of the acts I work for can’t afford to go on stage for less than $50k and still will only make $5k themselves. \nWhen you hear a band got paid $1,000,000 for a show, a lot of the time they manage to use most of that to make the show worth that much.",

"Once more, both Sturgis rallies in the past 2 years were commonly accepted to have been a superspreader event. To continue to debate that fact is unproductive. I closely follow medical journalism and there is no ambiguity in that regard.\n\nhttps://search.medscape.com/search/?q=sturgis\n\n> Meade County has the second-sharpest increase in COVID-19 cases in the U.S. compared to two weeks ago, according to The New York Times tracker. The county is reporting a 1,540% increase in cases.\n\nNow, regarding BLM:\n\n> That’s because there’s no way of knowing who were at these protests. \n\nThe effect of a rally or protest is quantified by comparing the positivity rate and case count in affected counties before, and after. Whether or not people's info was collected is immaterial. So I really think there's faulty logic behind that statement of yours. If there was a substantial effect, the numbers would be there, but they simply are not.\n\nIt is noble to try and use logic to determine the truth, and in many cases that's the right thing to do. I just think that kind of thinking is greatly flawed when it comes to medical information, the logical fallacy I think you committed above as an example (no offense), and we should stick to articles published by experts instead of trying to be experts ourselves. Anti-vaxxers, for instance, operate out of skepticism of information, not acceptance of information. And I don't think their incessant skepticism is serving this country well.",

"No food will ever make you digest alcohol faster. Alcohol is nearly always prioritised for digestion in the small intestine. The only way to affect the speed of digestion is to delay it’s entry into the small intestine from the stomach, and the only way to do that is by filling the stomach with other stuff. \n\nDoesn’t matter how much fat or sugar is in the intestine, if ethanol is there, your body will try its best to absorb it first. That’s why the treatment for consuming methanol is drinking ethanol. Methanol is really toxic to us, but our body prioritises ethanol for digestion so if you drink enough of it, the methanol will pass through undigested.",

"First, I'm so glad your nephew got the treatment he needed. That's awesome and I hope he's doing well now, along with the rest of the family. \n\nHowever, it isn't bullshit. Or at least, the evidence you're using isn't a true basis to call it that. There's some factor about your nephew's care that you're unaware of. What that is, I can't say, but people go bankrupt over much lesser treatments, and paying to get people into experimental treatments can be pricey, or going out of network to the best hospitals/doctors. Hundreds of thousands or literally millions of dollars. Maybe your nephew's care was covered by charity donations, or the hospital's charity program if the parents' income was low enough. And a child won't go without insurance in the US. If a child is admitted they'll be enrolled into medical assistance/CHIP if the parents' aren't terribly well off. If they are well off, they'll be given options for insurance with one of the hospital's case managers. Also, different funding streams exist around different medical conditions which can help with payments. For instance, the national Ryan White funding which provides monetary assistance for people living with HIV. Some similar funds may exist for certain cancers, especially when in children. OHSU is also a research hospital, so may have had an enrollment with free or discounted treatment as thanks for being part of a study group. \n\nCombine that with the fact that a lot of artists aren't rolling in as much money as some believe, either, so, an expensive lifestyle built up over time, a sudden large expense (or several large expenses), payments being missed, debts accruing, focus not being given to things that aren't the medical emergency in front of you...it's really easy to have a decently hefty fortune come toppling down in the face of the disgusting empire that is the US healthcare system. Plus we don't know what their contracts were like (or at least I don't), so maybe they had shitty terms on their earlier contracts when they were more popular (like what happened to Taylor Swift, TLC, etc.) which led to them not having very much money at all. \n\nSo, yeah, maybe it's bullshit, but your nephew's treatment not breaking his family financially isn't good evidence for that.",

"This is crazy to see. I saw smash mouth a county fair like 3 years ago and it went great. They played maybe an hour-long set, and I remember thinking that they were doing a pretty energetic show considering how long they've been touring the same material. My friends and I were into it, the crowd was into it, and the whole set was pretty tight in terms of both mixing and performance. To see steve do a show this embarrassing >5 years later is shocking for me, and I hope he gets help.",
"I saw them about 5 years ago, and it was a shitshow then. Sound was terrible, and when he tried to step to the front of the stage, massive feedback. You could tell he was extremely frustrated and he walked off the stage after about 35 minutes.\n\nThe band played on for about 5 more minutes and then it was over. \n\nNo opening act or anyone else playing. If I had to pay for those tickets I would have been pissed off.",

(In other words, I’m not a doctor, so take this for what Google is worth.).

Vision problems, gait problems, slurred speech, confusion, and DTs are among the symptoms.",
"I drink two 19.2 ounce ipas beers every night, sometimes more, I can take a night or two off but I always end up buying some the next day. Shits hard, I never realized how much of a bitch alcohol can be after trying many other drugs. \n\nNever hurts to try and cut back.",

"OP, you really going to make a post like this and make fun of him? You are not funny at all. No one ever gets over their child dying of an illness, plus theres the fact he was also diagnosed with one. This post is just in pure poor taste. He retired due to declining health. Fuck the girl who made this video and fuck OP for posting this.",

"I went out to a dive bar in Savanah just as the vaccines came out. There was some cover band who's objective was to pump people up, have a good time, get free drinks, and hook up. There was a lot of pent up energy and everyone in this bar was just going nuts. All ages, races, backgrounds just turning the fuck up. I was out with my 66 year old dad and he was not even closest to the oldest drunk person lol. It was a rainy night and even though smoking is illegal indoors in Georgia now or whatever the place had a solid haze even though the front of the bar was open. \n\nOkay now that the scene is set I move on to the band. I shit you not, they played Mr. Brightside every twenty minutes. And everyone went nuts every single time. They would finish it and people would start chanting for it again lol. I ran into the bassist while taking a piss and asked him if he hated playing it so much and he was like \"fuck no! Everyone loves it and we just want everyone to have a great fucking night\"\n\nCover bands, well good ones anyway, don't care so much about the art. They care about fuckin good music and having a great time. The original artists get all caught up in the art and frustrated when the gereral population doesn't feel the same way.

"Metallica are consummate professional performers and their music is almost timeless. Most of these bands that hate their music hate it because it’s a flash in the bottle or it’s the song they made being angsty and fans turned into something popular. It doesn’t stay with the times and they know it.\n\nImagine performing master of puppets versus ooohhhh idk let’s say….can’t touch this. One is a sad gimmick. \n\nIt also helps that Metallica has enough songs they could play a different show every time they performed at it would never be the same.",

"Well I appreciate you're response. That's why I phrased my comment mostly as a series of questions. I'm just giving some andicdotal evidence...im ignorant to how it all works honestly...I know there are varying circumstances...\n\nall I know is that I pay about 500 dollars a month for some pretty decent health insurance that would cover cancer treatment...idk...its hard for me to have sympathy for someone who was basically a millionar who didn't insure his family? All I'm saying is that I personally know many people who have had cancer and got treatment and it didn't bankrupt them. They have all been middle or lower class people who either have or don't have health insurance. Take that for what you will...\n\nAgain I really appreciate your kind response and not flamming me over my anecdotal talking points...I wasn't necessarily trying to prove a point I was just trying to give my \"common sense\" point of view.",

I was on fucking beta blockers in my late 20s for fucks sake. That's what old fucks take who have too high of a blood pressure and heart rate. Mine was consistently at 110-130 BPM and my BP was like 140/110 all the time. I upped my own medication just to keep it down more. My triglycerides were **so high** my blood had to be couriered to downtown Phoenix. I was drinking a fucking handle of vodka a day. My liver results are great now. Lungs will get there eventually.

If they tour a lot? I dunno). At least they get to play music for decent sized crowds and get treated somewhat well compared to less popular bands and acts.

Imagine how lame you'd be if you happened to be born with a dick and people actually held you to normal standards.",
"My comment history is full of me roasting carnists. Yours is full of picking fights and throwing tantrums over women and rainbow blankets (lol). \n\nDon’t you know ‘incel’ means involuntary celibate. I presumed from your activity in ‘men’s rights’ subreddits, hatred of women & overall miserable nature you were an incel. \n\nDoes being vegan make me an incel? \n\nHmmmm.",
"carnists lmao. \n\n>Hint; it’s when a woman dares to speak, show her face or make a joke\n\nthis is the equivalent of the stupid shit incels bitch about. idk what the word is for the female version of incel. dumb bitch? an average millennial female? take your pick.",
"You went to see a band called \"Smash Mouth\". What did you expect?",
"I mean at least you’re aware of your intake, many people don’t seem to see anything wrong with having beer every night or seem to think it’s bad… like I know how bad addiction can get and also know fully well how bad alcohol is when over used, but I still go and buy beer anyway.",
"I dont take think having a drink nightly is bad. I think having TOO many is bad",
"The point was that you don't know what someone else is dealing with. Anxiolytics may allow someone with more severe anxiety to discuss it normally while someone with less severe anxiety that doesn't receive the same benefit from medication may be inhibited to a greater degree despite having less.\n\nBesides, if you know what anxiety or other chronic disorders are, to the extent that they are known, then you know you don't control it. Regardless of how well you deal with it, they are always disruptive and your whole point is based around you thinking you know what someone is dealing with when even the latest medicine doesn't fully understand.\n\nYou are just proving my original point.",
"Maybe when I start throwing Nazi salutes and threatening to kill your family, then you have a point. Until then, the only point you have is the one at the top of your head.",
"That seemed hilariously unsafe. What the fuck was his plan if someone like me, 6’4 and muscular stepped out of the crowd?\n\nI’m not one for fighting, but I would have probably went up there pissed off for him wasting peoples time and threatening them.",
"Oh for sure. For me my problem is that I’ll buy my two tall beers and then sometimes finish them early and want another beer, that’s the main problem for me. If I’m out with friends getting dinner or something, I can manage to have one beer (I’ll actually pick a light one and literally will get like 8 ounces of a 5% beer if I drove. But if I didn’t drive and have a DD I’ll drink like I normally do)\n\n If I’m home and winding down for the night it’s very easy to just keep cracking em open though. I’ve never had a drink in the morning, maybe once while camping, and I hate day drinking. But for me I know for sure that this won’t get better if I keep slipping up and buying more beer. I’d love to just go down to one of these a night and then see how I feel.",
"So this article shows that his son got sick and died. That’s it. I mean a tragedy, but I don’t see the point you are making that the child’s death and his other problems are directly attributed to the US healthcare system…\n\nI mean, it does have serious problems, but depending on where you are in the US and what kind of provider/insurance you have, you can get incredibly good healthcare. I know I do, and I’m not even middle class.\n\nIs there something else that went on? Or are you just shoehorning a political point.",
"Its not that the fans don’t care about the music, its that the fans only care about one 3minute piece of music. Other than truly great artists most musicians have one song that gets a lot more of a reaction that everything else they’ve made. Ever get a song stuck in your head for a couple days and it basically gives you a headache? Well thats what happens to these bands except when you try to play new music people keep yelling at you to play your hit. The artist ends up gaining a big ego for being successful but also is incredibly insecure, wondering if their one hit was a fluke.\n\nI don’t think these artists have fuck you money, as its kind of a bad look to tour when you are old, but who knows maybe they feel insignificant and bored as they got older and just tour to relive their glory days.\n\nI’ll never really understand greed though. Like how there are massive moviestars with more than 100mil like aston kutcher doing advertisements for cheetos… You’d think you’d see these people shift their career to doing fun stuff and acting for free in low budget indies or something like that for the sake of art.",
"To be fair, losing a child at any age is unimaginably painful.",
"[🎶 and they don't stop coming 🎶](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Iqr0L4bUms)",
"True. I guess I should have also added that it took a large financial toll on him as well due to medical costs. I feel for the guy and a lot of people are using this opportunity to share stories making light of his addiction. Walk a mile in his shoes and see how you come out.",
"I didn't know about that but that's no reason for this kind of behaviour. At the very least, be sober when you're performing. He could have easily been like this 99% of the time and as long as he too the actual performance and signing etc. serious, he still could have gotten away with it. \n\n\nNot to mention, the dude was doing concerts at the height of the pandemic when there still wasn't a vaccine and was openly mocking the whole situation with the pandemic. You'd think losing someone precious to you would make you care a bit more about trying to protect others, especially when it was so easy to do so.",
"Damn, I've watched family members and friends destroy their entire lives with substance abuse problems. \n\nIt's sad to see some of these comments here. Unlike some people, I don't have anything funny or clever to say about this. I hope he gets help. If you need help, look for it. If you know anyone who's living rough like this, talk to them.",
"Call it the Slip and fail",
"Anyone else get the vibe that this dude might do something gruesome in like 5-10 years? Some serious mental issues there",
"I wouldn't include live and let die on there. The original being a Bond song and still a popular classic rock song makes it stand out from the rest of the list. I'd say a bit on hurt too, but the cash version is definitely 100 times more popular.",
"How in the fuck is bare minimum deterministic reasoning \"incel shit\"? You just throwing out random buzzwords? Just gonna write away anyone who does wrong as vaguely \"evil\", saying it was their conscious choice, never asking *why* they'd chose to do \"evil\", because then things might get just the littlest bit too complex for your morale reasoning and you'd have to throw the baby killing Nat Turners of the world some rational perspective?\n\n>You're not owed acceptance. You're not owed absolution.\n\nGreat, never said nor implied that, still not relevant to the objectivity of determinism and the irrationality of puritan morality that ideas of justice and empathy are based on in the modern Western world.\n\nYou're seething over implications you're making yourself you cur. Guess it's a misfortune more than anything that you've been conditioned to subscribe to ideas that are convenient to vindictive kneejerk ideas of justice and \"sound nice\", doubly so a tragedy that people like you dictate the nonexistant criminal reform in my country.",

Bryant, who was already well-known as a singer, led Save Our Children, a homophobic campaigning group which successfully overturned legal protections for LGBT+ people in Dade County, Florida. Bryant had declared about homosexuality: \"I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.\" After being pied, Bryant burst into tears and began praying. Bryant was also brand ambassador for Florida orange juice, which then became subjected to a mass boycott campaign. Gay bars replaced screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice cocktails) with \"Anita Bryants\" – made with vodka and apple juice, with the profits donated to the campaign. Bryant's lucrative orange contract subsequently lapsed and her marriage failed, which caused her to be ostracised by some Christian fundamentalists who did not approve of her divorce. Later in life, Bryant's homophobic views softened, and she stated she was \"more inclined to say live and let live\". In 1998, Dade County reintroduced legal protections for LGBT+ people, and efforts by Christian groups to overturn them failed.",

"> On this day, 14 October 1977, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was \"pied\" in the face by Tom Higgins, a gay rights activist. Bryant, who was already well-known as a singer, led Save Our Children, a homophobic campaigning group which successfully overturned legal protections for LGBT+ people in Dade County, Florida. Bryant had declared about homosexuality: \"I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.\" After being pied, Bryant burst into tears and began praying. Bryant was also brand ambassador for Florida orange juice, which then became subjected to a mass boycott campaign. Gay bars replaced screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice cocktails) with \"Anita Bryants\" – made with vodka and apple juice, with the profits donated to the campaign. Bryant's lucrative orange contract subsequently lapsed and her marriage failed, which caused her to be ostracised by some Christian fundamentalists who did not approve of her divorce. Later in life, Bryant's homophobic views softened, and she stated she was \"more inclined to say live and let live\". In 1998, Dade County reintroduced legal protections for LGBT+ people, and efforts by Christian groups to overturn them failed.",

Funny, at 54 years old this is the first time I’ve referred to myself, a white male, as part of a minority group. I guess because I’ve always been able to hide who I am I’ve felt that I really wasn’t even though I am. Blacks, women, overtly effeminate gays or “queens” (the type of gay person or non binary you can spot at a glance) they don’t have that luxury. And while we all are in it together to some degree, I’ve always felt that some of us had it better. I can dress in a T shirt and jeans and walk down the road looking like a regular person and nobody would know. In fact it’s usually the biggest compliment that straight people who are older or not really outside of their circle at all would say to me - “if I didn’t know you were gay I never would have known” as if it’s high praise that I’m one of the masculine ones. Personally I’m not attracted to the effeminate gays so I kind of wish we all were masculine on a personal level. But I do appreciate that everyone can be whomever they want to be within reason. \n\nI do remember that being a young teenager when aids first came out scared the crap out of me. What scared me more was seeing a national fight on tv and learning that our wonderful actor president mr Reagan didn’t care enough about us to do anything and that in fact most of the country seemed quite happy to blame it as a punishment for fay sex. Which seemed more than horrible behavior to me and which was really knocked dead by young Ryan White. Back Then Michale Jackson was hugely popular. Is plastic surgery was a little bit concerning I think at the time but it hadn’t gotten to the point where he was a laughing stock yet. (To me that never bothered me, he’s a musical genius who fed half a continent w his own money, who else does that?). MJ and his entourage (Liz Taylor, Princess Dianna, A few others, did some things between them to stop people from running from those poor dying men who had no hope. \nI say all this because when this pandemic started we pulled out all the stops to get medication and a plan. We may have a lot of idiots who think various things about the vaccines and alternative treatments, sometimes for animals, that they seem to find will work better than a vaccine. We weren’t offered even a pathway toward that. We did get I believe 2 medical labs working on medicines, one in. The IS and one in France. But when adjusted for inflation the difference between the amount of resources put into AIDS research compared to COVID-19 is, I’m certain, astronomical. They wanted everyone to die. It took a bunch of old dying gay men to get up out of their beds and fight for their lives, which they lost anyway, so that others might have a chance. The quilting project, the stand up NY activist group, etc. \n\nOk I’m\nNow aware I’ve rambled for an excessive amount of time. Due to the nature of the topic I’ll leave the reply up.

You grow up thinking to be a heterosexual male you must look and act a certain way, or else you're gay and that's bad.\n\nSo some homophobes see a man dresses up in women's clothing that upsets them as they see it as some kind of assault on what they know about their own heterosexuality. \n\nThis isn't something I made out of thin air just Google the psychology of homophobia. \n\n\nI know there's other cultural and religious reasons dude.",

I'm talking about looking back at the way in which during present day people bury their heads and start to chant prayers for the souls of gay people, or wish a fiery burning eternity upon them. I'm talking about the preachers saying the lord is protecting them from the virus, right up until the last nail is being pounded into their coffin, while ignoring every safety precaution along the way. Or the people paying money to televangelists who claim this misfortune is all because they aren't donating enough money. \n\nI don't know how you can't look back on that with a bit of regret for the species, even present day lol.",

"Well, fortunately reality doesn't really care about your opinion about it. It's \"rare\" in most species because most species are far from use genetically. There's millions and millions of species, and that compromises bacteria, insects, fishes, who reproduce differently than we do. So that's why it's \"rare\" in that sense. In species that are close to, that mate as we do, mammals, birds, it's not rare. It's quite common, and no it's not just in captivity.

She put on a public face of \"I love these people and I just want them to get help\" but her actually aim was to remove prohibitions against gay discrimination and oust gays and their supporters from society.\n\nThe reason the old Testament preaches to kill people for their sins so often is simply: it doesn't divide a people. It unites them, because they've purged the \"other\".\n\nShe also got divorced, which was against her Christian fundamentalist beliefs and her own church turned on her for it. Couldn't stand the idea of gay marriage existing and yet she failed to keep her own marriage afloat which I'm sure is shocking to nobody. She was shunned from church events which at that point were her whole career since her singing career was already dead and she was left in financial ruin.\n\nShe was also a tax cheat and the govt went after her for tax evasion which the Bible don't look too fondly on either (lying + the Bible is pretty clear you ought to pay your taxes unless you're being unjustly taxed, say if somebody tries to tax God's chosen people for living on the promised land).",

"There is something unsettling about watching someone smash over $1,000 worth of LEGO together like that.",
"$650 if they were purchased in the US at retail value. \n\n[The Porsche](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/porsche-911-gt3-rs-42056) has since been retired and [The Bugatti](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/bugatti-chiron-42083) is expected to be discontinued at the end of this year.",
"Ti's like they forgto gravity in the simulation, right? ti feels like pieces are not pulled down or the G is lower",
"It predicts the bigger pieces quite well, but the small ones that fly off are way off.",
"that's what I thought. They umm predict it will break up and kinda generally what direction things will go but I could have done that without a computer. . .",
"You could have predicted that the two front wheels would fall off while the rear wheels stayed on?\n\nHuh.\n\nHow?",
"The general progression of the crash. Sure it got the wheels right but the model was just as likely to get things wrong as right.",
"So you're saying that the model was just lucky on the things it got right?\n\nBut also that you could have predicted the same things correctly that the model just got lucky on?",
"This is quite close to textbook definition of chaos, where small changes in initial conditions leads to great difference in final results.",
"No, I am saying a model that gets so many things wrong is useless. Unless you had the actual impact to compare to, you would have no idea which things it got right or wrong. The model got some stuff right probably not by chance but it's usefulness is zero.",
"I strongly disagree about the uselessness of this model. The entire point of this video is to show that it is fairly accurate, not that it is 100% accurate.\n\nI bet you that the entire company's purpose is to create models that are nearly impossible to predict correctly. With those kinds of models it is a gigantic difference whether it is 40% accurate or 50% accurate.\n\nAnd this model is incredibly accurate if you consider that it models thousands of tiny parts interacting with each other, and it got things exactly right like which wheel falls off by how much, and where various very important parts fail.\n\nThat is exactly the thing that is interesting in these models. It doesn't matter for almost all applications here whether a tiny screw flies off to the left or to the right.",
"The problem I think is that the collision is quite a chaotic process. Small variations near the beginning can produce larger effects later on, so even if you did the same collision twice in real life, they're unlikely to be exactly the same. What if you did the real collision, say, 10,000 times and calculated the probabilities of the pieces moving in certain directions? It would be interesting to see how the pieces within the simulation then match up to those probabilities.",
"Yeah, you're right. It's pretty much impossible to get the initial conditions with a precision to exactly predict the outcome. If the video didn't almost claim that the simulation can \"predict the future\", I wouldn't have commented.",
"Well yeah if you make a water simulation the drops will be way off too. Because the tiny things in such simulations are almost impossible to predict. Even if you would make this crash twice in RL, the tiny pieces would be scattered very differently why the big parts would scatter in similar directions.",
"when you are crashing at a velocity that nearly everything comes apart it's pretty easy to achieve a high degree of accuracy that a part comes off. Predicting how it comes off and in what direction if flies is where the only really useful accuracy is when it's that catastrophic. And this model has low success in predicting that. \n\nGo to 1:51 and look at the \"important parts\" they are nothing even close between simulation and reality.\n\nGo to 2:01 the yellow car is in a totally different state and the blue car is rotated very differently\n\n2:12 the top of the yellow car totally failed in reality but prediction has it mostly together. Same with the rear top of the blue car\n\n2:14 in simulation the blue car is tail up, in reality it buckled and is middle up. \n\nI will admit SUPER SUPER early in collision it seems to be close but, also that early it is very hard to tell and much of the randomness has not progressed.",
"Well I'm sure the company who made this video will go out of business any day now, given how inaccurate and useless their models are.",
"It's slowmotion, slowed down. Gravity is 9.8 meters per second per second, which means if you drop an item from stationary, after one second it will be traveling at the speed 9.8 meters per second. \n\nThat is much too slow to have an impact on the small pieces that shoot off screen in <0.1 second after the crash in real time.",
"So. Kinda. But not really.",
"I think its more unsettling that some injection molded plastic that likely cost a couple dollars is being sold for $1000.",
"There is a 0% chance either of those Lego sets costed a couple dollars to make.\n\nEven less if you factor in related costs like labor, boxes, marketing, and storefront rental.",
"Economies of scale my dude. When all is said and done, ignoring all the bullshit they spend on the marketing, the material costs of the pieces themselves is trivial.",
"The material cost is not the significant factor in the cost calculation lol. This is like balking at a painting being expensive because the cost of the paint was like $10. Injection moulding machines are fucking expensive, and the moulds themselves are also really expensive. Like, 10K for a single one. They're wear items as well and will need to be replaced every 500K or so cycles, maybe less if you consider Lego's insanely tight tolerances.\n\nMaking the pieces might be trivial, but sorting them, bagging them, designing the kits, transporting the kits, and the POS contact with the end user are significant expenses. On top of this, Lego's quality control is second to none in the toy business, and rivals that of critical areas like in the medical and aviation fields. This tolerance is also fucking expensive.",
"LS-DYNA is the same software used to perform crash dynamics analysis for most of the cars we drive, along with a few other explicit FEA packages. It takes a lot of work to get good correlation for a model, but the results have saved probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives in auto accidents over the years. This is a pretty cool example of what the software can do for those less familiar with the structure of an actual car.",
"The designers that design these sets are also really fuckin clever. The labor in terms of design is probably significant, at the very least.",
"I don't have to be able to fly to say jumping off a cliff is a bad idea. \n\n\nPoint is, I can't predict chaos because chaos is by definition impossible to predict. A simulation will never be able to accurately predict miniscule details in a chaotic system. I don't have to be able to make the prediction perfectly to identify that the simulation wasn't perfect either.",
"Those sets of Legos would probably hold their value really well, even opened, if you kept them complete.",
"It predicted they would smash into each other, up next can it predict a bouncing ball?",
"The FPS does not affect the angle of which flying pieces should move. Check both real and 3d and you might note the is no curvature of flying parts but in the real thing there is. \n\nBeing in slowmo it's easier to note the stragiht line 3d objects fly away compared to the actual video",
"Package that up on Steam and sell it to me, now, please.",
"> On top of this, Lego's quality control is second to none in the toy business\n\nBetter not look at some of their recent models then because things that are supposed to be the same color aren't anymore. And you've always had scratched pieces as well as inexplicable variations in surface finish. \n\nSome of the other brick manufacturers have arguably surpassed them in terms of quality in recent times, especially in areas like printed parts.",
"I need a cheater plug in like this for Unreal Engine. I want to make bricks separate like this from impacts or weapons but have no clue where to start yet. I imagine this is a very heavy processing render and not a real time simulation right?",
"jesus, legos are just expensive af\n\nworst part is that when you walk into the lego store they dont have any \"standard\" lego sets. like just a bucket of a bunch of the basic pieces.\n\nits all licensed, specific, expensive as hell sets. i just wanna build my own shit i dont want to build hogwarts ffs\n\nanyone know some chinese knockoff i can buy thats just a lot of standard pieces?",
"To be honest, I don't see many pieces in the real video showing curvature. Maybe you're seeing something I'm not. At any rate, it doesn't really make sense from a technical standpoint to neglect gravity, it doesn't change the FEA complexity by much at all.",
"Dude I literally just googled \"generic lego set\". The classic generic sets appear immediately online. Did you even look?",
"I wonder if the simulation can predict Lego Bugatti vs [Lepin Bugatti](https://www.reddit.com/r/lepin/comments/8x2v1q/bugatti_chiron_lepin_20086/) crash",
"Ok, I dropped some legos off of an envelope, now what?",
"nice",
"Finite element analysis FEA is used here. The computing duration depend on the number and size of elements a well as numerical stability conditions (material properties, contact modeling,...)\n\nIn explicit simulation, you compute the next frame from the previous one . Each frame most be close enough to the previous one, in order to get a stable result.\n\nHence, this types of simulations are not in real time :(\n\nThe keywords here, if you are looking for more information: FEA, explicit analysis, LS-Dyna.",
"> anyone know some chinese knockoff i can buy thats just a lot of standard pieces?\n\nThere are lots of brands for Lego-compatible bricks, because Lego's patent has enden:\n\nQ-bricks has lots of boxes with different bricks: https://www.q-bricks.org/en/shop-en/brick-box\n\nWange has also some mixed brick boxes: https://www.steingemachtes.de/wange-58231-designer-bausteine-box-mit-625-teilen/58231\n\nThe best brick quality are as far as I've heard: Cobi, CaDa and maybe MegaConstrux and Qman",
"It's my impression. In the 3d version I see parts moving away way higher and more scattered and weightless (despite the crash speed and inertia) and in the real video there are less parts moving away and not that fast. The 3d version reminds me of the many representation of impacts of objects in space",
"Awesome! Thanks so much. The terminology is my greatest weakness while understanding the elements involved in the 3D digital space. I really appreciate your response.",
"Im not sure what kits you’re referencing, but ive purchased a couple dozen kits over the past 3 years or so and had only one problem that Lego fixed as quickly as they could.",
"They've had severe problems with the consistency of mutiple colors recently. For example the [Lamborghini Sian](http://imgur.com/gallery/hO5iJ6n) or basically any set with a variety of white bricks. They do make an effort to correct the obvious faults, but their manufacturing quality/consistency and QA is definitely decreasing.",
"Ah, I forgot the color variation issue. I have a Sian sitting on my shelf behind me and to be honest it isn't really that bad in person. Another one I know that has the same problem is the fiat, which is a little more noticeable in person. \n\nI was more referencing the structural quality of the bricks, I've never seen a poorly shot piece or a piece shot from a die that was noticeably worn. Another strong area they have is piece disbursement accuracy. Again, I haven't had a single issue with piece counts in my kits.",
"> Ah, I forgot the color variation issue. I have a Sian sitting on my shelf behind me and to be honest it isn't really that bad in person.\n\nFor the price they charge I would expect nothing short of perfect quality.\n\n>I was more referencing the structural quality of the bricks, I've never seen a poorly shot piece or a piece shot from a die that was noticeably worn.\n\nStructurally they are good, but in terms of surface finish they are not consistent either. You have pieces with mirror finishes (and scratches) and others that are completely dull or with some unintentional pattern from the molding process as well as spots from where the plastic was injected into the mold with varying sizes even among the same brick type."

"All those guys almost definitely started on a Walmart skateboard… and they probably skated the shit out of it, and loved every minute.",
"None of them would be skating if they started on a Walmart skateboard. They would have tried it out for a few days, never made literally any progress whatsoever because the boards are so godawful, and gave up because they think it's impossible.\n\nThere's a big difference between beginner equipment and garbage. These are garbage",
"There’s no way I would buy a proper skateboard for a 4 to 6 year old. If they enjoyed it, I would buy them something better. Most parents would do the same.\n\nWalmart is great to allow your young kid to experience a new sport for less than $20.",

"Walmart boards got a lot worse for a while. They’re coming back around now but from about 2014-2019 the Walmart boards were absolutely unusable . They wouldn’t roll more than three or four feet per push, had plastic trucks that would break after one Ollie attempt, and weren’t even the right shape to do tricks anyway. \n\nA few months ago I skate a Walmart board that my friend had got as his first board in around the 2010 and it was totally usable, not great but I could skate it down the street and heelflip it and tre flip it with out it breaking. About 5 years ago I broke a brand new Walmart board just trying to Ollie. \n\nLike I said they’ve gotten better recently but for literally years Walmart was selling board that actually just didn’t work. \n\nA lot of Walmart board apologist are thinking about the Walmart boards from the late 90s to early 2010s that were actually usable. I learned ollies one of those old Walmart but for a long time the boards they sold literally wouldn’t withstand one Ollie."

"Not denying religion has been a driving force behind a lot of great things at all; just pointing out that you need to pray to someone or something, which makes it a form of directed meditation; if you can have a secular version which isn’t explicitly directed at a deity then logically that exists as the superset. \n\nYou can pray to whichever deity you want, but you can’t pray to nobody or nothing.

Honestly, I would recommend watching the films anyway cos 2/3 are good fun too.\n\nThe whole lot is a bit of a mashup in terms of tonality.\n \nSkip the first film, they went for a pure horror/creepy vibe and it didn't really work. The 2nd is really fun, but expect a more silly/comedy horror, great to get drunk with friends watching that. 'tis basically a re-edit of the 1st one with more funny bits. (There's a whole backstory to that, Red Letter Media do a good coverage of it if you give a shit.) Definitely check out the 3rd though, Army of Darkness is a pretty classic campy comedy cheese horror/thriller kinda thing. I personally love it. There's two versions of the ending, it's only the last like 2 minutes, but one of them (and the superior imo,) is the version where Ash of the Dead continues from. It'll be obvious which one I mean when you see it.",

I had to keep them separated. a really nice family called and wanted him if I couldn't find the owners, but after seeing it a few times I called them back and told them \"no I'm sorry this dog will most likely maul your dog or you\" and after that I took him to the pound and it sucks, but it was the right thing to do. Not all pits are like that. If you didn't ignore that another guy is mauling us. We would be a lot safer, because you're saying it's okay and allowing it to continue. At least give us a heads up and don't put him around us. If you knew and ignored it you're really the one who allowed it to happen. He's a dumb animal, hes not in control his behavior, he has something wrong with him. But you don't, right?",
"Ok. So. What do you want me to do? Would you feel better if I prefaced my comment by saying \"he is definitely guilty of sexual assault and the courts that acquitted his charges are wrong\"?",
"He seems like such an asshole...",
"Yes, it is recent history and there is nothing wrong with it. Had you seen it? I had not."

"Boomer humor.",
"Ut oh. Reddit really isn't going to like this one.",
"Can you expand on that? Anything specific in the video that is blatantly wrong? This video is the most accurate representation of this topic on how extremism coming from either side are really just shaking hands.",
"you are stupid",
"they are obviously playing it up for the comedy, and doesn't address the reality of the situation.",
"He didn't actually have a good reply, he just wanted to shit on something that offends him. He probably didn't even watch the whole thing.",
"Shocked this whole reply wasn’t in all caps.",
"Yeah it's mostly all blatantly wrong, like \"roll back discrimination laws so we can hire based on race again\" is not a thing that anybody wants, that's just a blatant lie to suggest that \"woke\" people want to do that insane thing",
"It's like when you say Progressives and Conservatives have a lot in common. They absolutely hate that. Different paths but same conclusions.",
"What do you think affirmative action is?\n\nThe only difference is the ones they intend to discriminate against.",
"Well, first of all, only one of those characters represents an extreme version of their side's position.\nWhat I mean by that is,The extreme side of the right *are* objectively, demonstrably racists. It's no coincidence that the extreme conservative side has always aligned itself with the racists and white supremacists. And vice versa. Every. Single. Time.\n\n It's just lazy boomer humor that's preaching to the choir. More grist for the professional victim's circle jerk. The fact the same lame conservative talking points (struggling to use \"woke\" as an insult and \"they call everyone they disagree with racist!\") are trotted out yet again should be a dead giveaway.",
"Affirmative action is a different thing that \"rolling back discrimination laws\"\n\nLike maybe if you strip away all nuance and specifics for comedic purposes, they might seem similar, but it's pretty shitty comedy that has to do that. Because if you've distorted it past the point of any semblance of truth, you're not speaking to truth to power anymore, you're just speaking made up shit",
"I envy your innocence.",
"Your reading comprehension is severely crippled.",
"There's covert racism (woke) and overt racism (\"right wing\" racists). The only difference between the 2 is how they represent their extreme crazy ideas. They are still spouting the same absolute garbage and they are still causing a ruckus rooted in extremely flawed logic fueled by childish emotions that they can't keep in check.",
"Username checks out",
"Oh wait I forgot how Joe Biden had \"bring back lynchings, but for white people lmao\" in the platform, I guess I should have remembered that and been less naively innocently stupid",
"I didn't say you're stupid",
"This video has been all over the internet for [a while now](https://old.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEv373c7wSRg). It keeps getting deleted from this subreddit for being political.\n\nIt also is just a collection of strawman arguments. You get dumber and less informed by watching this.",
"At least you got to feel superior even though you’re wrong",
"It was naive of me to assume that Joe Biden didn't want to put all the white people into a big blender and blend them though",
"Sounds like you're wrestling with some childish emotions you can't keep in check. The video is dumb and pandering to the right-wing circle-jerk that only the \"woke\" side is wrong. \n\n\"First they try to force us to be woke! Then they call us racists when we won't bend!\"\n\nSee how this narrative paints only one side as the villain? Or do I have to dumb it down further for you? Because honestly, your boring me.",
"I'm not gonna lie, I got confused about who was saying what because it was hard to tell the difference",
"California literally just tried to do that. \nhttps://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_16,_Repeal_Proposition_209_Affirmative_Action_Amendment_(2020)",
"lolwut. How the hell did you come up with that?\n\nThey are both obviously terrible positions to hold.\n\nBut I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you think anything criticizing the left *must* be in support of the right.",
"This very accurately calls out the **extreme** sides here. If you're expecting a well thought-out discussion that goes through the nitty gritty then I'm not sure what to tell you, or why you expected that? \n\nIt does however very accurately outline the childish and flawed logic fueled by emotion that gets presented from both sides of the **extreme**.\n\nAn extreme POV on a complicated topic is often illogical which is what this video is calling out. People who fall into either camp are saying stupid shit (due to their childish emotions they can't control) but don't understand that they're actually agreeing with eachother on the stupid shit they're saying.\n\nThe ideas themselves aren't the focal point here, it's the fact that their stupid ideas are actually the same.",
"Affirmative action isn't the same as \"rolling back discrimination laws.\"",
"Yes, please dumb it down a few notches. I'm having trouble understanding...",
"Ok boomer",
"You got sand in your vagina again?",
"Yes",
"Well, according to Californian's its exactly that. Which is why it didn't pass. You sound like every racist I've met, \"It's not racist, its different because...\"",
"See, that's the problem; every single point brought up here has a lot of nuance and needs a lot of context to be appropriately brought up. When you remove something from all context, of course they look the same.\n\nFor example: At some point, both Hitler and 1940 anti-fascists both thought that killing Hitler was a good idea. **SAME THING!** Antifascists are literally Hitler. That's the level of discourse going on here. It's actively bad.",
"Give it some time, he might eventually clue in that this video (and myself) are criticizing both extreme sides.\n\nAlthough something tells me he's already triggered that inner 5 year old temper tantrum and he won't understand, defaulting to nonsensical accusations because the safeplay on reddit is **always** assume the other person who doesn't agree with you is a **right wing neo nazi**.\n\nRight?",
"No thanks. Wallow in your willful ignorance. I'm done with you, stupid.",
"r/fragilewhiteredditor",
"Damn, I was hoping to be educated today. I'm now sitting down as you dropped your mic and put me in my place. I am impressed.\n\nedit: Here, contact your family they're wondering where you are:\n\n/r/teenagers",
"Many other states and federal law allow state institutions to consider minority status in certain decisions. California bans it specifically, in addition to other parts of the state constitution which ban racial discrimination. The proposition would have changed this part of the constitution so that the state institutions could (like in many other states) use race or sex or other protected class in some considerations, like college admissions or in weighting minority- or women-owned businesses higher when awarding state contracts. Quotas and outright discrimination would still be banned.",

"Well good thing CA isn't one of those states. Any type of discrimination is bad. Im sorry you are in that pile of people that believe some is OK.",
"You know it's a comedy video, right? These are things called... jokes.",
"I mean, just because a massive entity like Reddit with compromised mods take down valid posts doesn't mean the posts themselves are wrong.\n\nAlso, explain how any of those videos are alt-right...at all? None of them are. They are exposing the huge hypocrisy that exists amongst the left wing. You can certainly go through my post history and amalgamate a list of posts and label it as alt-right...that absolutely is following the Reddit Rulebook of labeling someone alt-right/racist/homophobe etc when threatened with an opposing opinion.",
"I would have to agree. The respondent above is clearly one of those who likes to get butthurt over people not agreeing with his narrow minded approach to life. \n\nIt's sad but this \"offended\" generation thats so \"woke\" are actually more closed off. Everyone must bend over to accommodate me but I refuse to accept any other standpoint. Puberty will be tough for Some, I expect to see a rise in helmet sales.",
"Oh the crusader privilege to be young, have no children and own no property. Lol. You'll start to see how funny this video is when you grow up and realize all your rhetoric is so silly - when you enter the real world and have something real at stake.",
"\"Agree with me or you're...... White!\"",
"Based on your Hitler statement above I don't think it's the video who needs context mate...",
"Further proof conservatives are not funny and don't understand what they are talking about.",
"Uh, what? I'm 52. Been married, happily 29 years. Have a grown son. Own two homes and two cars. None of which have anything to do with being able to stiff out horseshit at 100 yards. This video is horseshit.",
"Hahahahahaha well said. The \"woke\" generation ...that can't even attempt to accept that their very narrow minded, oh well done Johnny you didn't win but you tried so here's a prize for you as well mindset will for sure get things done, didn't you know?",
"Would you like to speak to his manager Karen?",
"Ummmm.... no... you're not. Nice try.",
"Did you just assume their gender? Get outta here you bigot",
"You mean like that time they passed the farm subsidies thing that was based on skin color. Courts shot that down.",
"Many? There's like...2.[I see NYU listed a lot](https://reason.com/2020/08/24/black-nyu-students-segregated-housing-race/), but they're not. Find me an **actual university website**, not federalist.com, that offers housing exclusively based on race. [There is a pretty unused one](https://www.calstatela.edu/housing/themed-living-communities) at CalState, one at [Western Washington University](https://housing.wwu.edu/black-affinity-housing#faq), and that's it.",
"I enjoyed the video. Interesting seeing the response to it here!",
"There is no irony\n\nJust a lack of context and nuance....which is something conservatives seem to love.",
"Wow your'e onto him",
"No. If that's the way you understand life you are very very unprepared. To say we now need laws to put another group of people ahead is discrimination wrapped up in a bow to make it more palatable for quasi liberals is creating another problem from a preexisting one. Best man or woman for the job. Plain and simple. Your point of view is as narrow minded as the laws you're arguing against. Time to grow up snowflake.",
"I know these are nuanced issues and this video oversimplifies, but it's pretty funny and I find the broader point pretty good.",
"Thanks, this comment caused me to grow up. Am now a snowman, no longer a snowflake",
"It's all steps in the same direction. Like I said, the difference now is who they intend to discriminate against by removing anti-discrimination laws. And passing mandated discrimination like affirmative action.",
"I wouldnt find it funny if it mocked me either.",
"If they're steps in the same direction, why do real life racists oppose affirmative action rather than support it?",
"No you're an idiot, arguing anything based on race is stupid, saying anti left is pro right just proves you have deep seated racist tendencies you're trying desperately to hide. It's as plain as day to anyone with any sense. Guess what both sides are wrong, the only right is being pro people, pro freedom and pro understanding and accepting. Let that sink in and ask yourself how \"woke\" you actually are.",
"Why would white racists support discrimination against themselves?",
"imo it stops being joke not when its a disingenuous refutation of progressive ideals, which it is, but when it elevates racism to being on the same level as 'wokeness' which it does.",
"I'm not woke anymore, I'm an aged, grown up snowman since your last reply",
"But if they're steps in the same direction, surely they would support it, though, right? Like if affirmative action really did mean 'rolling back discrimination laws so we can hire based on race again' as the video says, well then racists would support that, as the video claims they would. But they don't. So the video is lying in one way or another, right",
"You don't even need to sort by controversial.",
"So here's a thing I've seen a fair bit recently: complaints about white people \"invading historically <insert ethnicity> neighborhoods.\" So...a couple of things.\n\nOne, I'm old enough to remember when it was a news item that a black family moved into some all-white small town. They tried to play it up like it was some great progress against racism.\n\nTwo, those neighborhoods are historically ethnic because of past racism. Why should we strive to maintain that?",
"E N L I G H T E N E D C E N T R I S M",
"I'd say the point is that when you take \"woke\" to its extremes, you come full circle back to racism.\n\nTake the \"I think we should remove hiring restrictions so you can hire based on race\" argument. There are people who really do want to be able to prioritize hiring minorities. But do we really think the end result would be more minorities getting jobs?\n\nPeople tend to trust people who look like them. It's unconscious tribalism rather than overt racism. Now, let's review who has the money, power, and control of the vast majority of hiring decisions in America. If we stop holding people accountable for their hiring practices, they won't pay attention to their demographics and a whole of of businesses will turn go fully white without anyone trying to make it happen.",
"Can you be any more obtuse?\n\n\"Steps in the same direction\" because it's legalized discrimination. It's just not in the way one side would want it.\n\nThe video is not wrong in saying there are wokesters who support racial discrimination and removing laws that prevent it. The whole point was to highlight legitimately racist rhetoric shared by both sides.",
"see: Gentrification. Then reread your comment and realise both sides arent the same",
"Just because you are butthurt about the joke doesn't suddenly make it not a joke. If you don't like the joke, downvote and move on. The world isn't going to cater to your progressive ideals 24/7.\n\nI consider myself pretty liberal and I didn't for one second think they were legitimately comparing racism with 'wokeness' in a serious manner. You wanna know why? Because it is a < 2 minute video obviously just poking fun at the fact that some 'wokeness' goes too far, not some grand political call to action to bring back racism.",
"The cultural appropriation narrative is the one that really gets me.\n\nIt's a stigma against white people engaging in other people's cultures. This stigma also existed back in the times of colonialism. And the result was western culture being spread at the expense of other cultures. \n\nAnd that's happening again today. We are actively encouraging people in other cultures to emulate white people, while actively discouraging any spread of other cultures. Western movies play around the world. The merchandise is sold around the world. This merchandise is being actively being marketed around the world.\n\nAny child from any culture is encouraged by the Disney marketing machine to dress up as Elsa from Frozen. It is actively discouraged for anyone to dress up as Moana, because that would be cultural appropriation. They had to remove any Moana costumes from the shelves because we can't take the risk of a white kid dressing up as a polynesian kid. But the Elsa costumes are still there on the shelves and any child can wear those costumes.\n\nSo the end result is girls from around the world being taught to dress and behave like a white girl, because there's no problem with that. \n\nWhite people are simply easier to market because there's no controversy in promoting white people's culture to everyone around the world. Promoting any other culture is considered cultural appropriation, and it's too controversial, so it just isn't happening. \n\nThe end result of this cultural appropriation narrative ends up being very similar to colonialism. Oh well, at least people who are definitely not racist don't have to be disturbed by seeing white people doing non-white people things. So that makes the decimations of other cultures worth it, I guess?",
"And just as often liberals love to hide behind.\n\nAnd of course the roles easily flip based on convenience.",
"I'm not trying to justify it. I think it's dumb. I'm against you calling 2/5000 \"many\".",
"I just not going to give something a free pass because \"its a joke.\" People say the most heinous shit under the guise of just joking around.\n\nI'm not 'butthurt', I just think its a load of dishonest garbage and I think its important to point that out because this is exactly the sort of thing that has been normalizing and pushing people farther and farther right.",
"You absolutely are butthurt. 99% of people watched this video, had a laugh, didn’t become racist because it was a joke, and moved on. \n\nYou came in and started crying about how this is damaging your precious ideology. It’s the definition of being butthurt. You are upset that a video like this got posted because you don’t find it funny at all because you think the idea being presented should be taken as a legitimate political stance.\n\nNobody else thinks it’s really important to point out anything because they understood the joke.",
"I wrote and deleted about six responses before I settled on just saying this: just because someone invented a fancy word for white people doing it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. If you think there's actually a problem, explain the problem rather than pointing at a contentious term and calling it good.",
"Lmao like your original comment, I can't be sure exactly how it relates to what you were trying to criticize. \n\nIf you're gonna come at someone, you'll have to do better than that."

"Madtv was amazing, there’s no way they could capture that energy again",
"I saw this referenced in a clip the other day of Artie on Howard stern for the first time. Norm brings Artie out and introduces him to Howard and this sketch is referenced.",
"How did Artie outlive Norm",
"I think it was the cancer.",
"Also not with the cancel culture nowadays. Look at Dave Chapelle",
"They're proving his point.",
"Hasn't he had like five successful standup specials on Netflix from the past few years? Doesn't seem like a great example of cancel culture having negatively impacting someone. If anything, outraged Twitter users seem to be really helping him with his comeback.",

">Dave Chapelle cares that they've been trying to get his stuff pulled since the first special\n\nNo, he cares that they don't like his jokes. He's deeply offended at that notion that someone thinks he's a bad person.",
"Netflix is paying him millions. He gets top billing. His shows pull in crazy numbers. Dave Chapelle is one of the most successful comedians out right now and this is decades after his peak. Dave is fine. His ego is fine. Whether or not Twitter and reddit like his jokes means absolutely nothing to him. Millions do and they support him.",
"Yep, same here. Loved Mad Tv, but completely forgot about this skit.",
"> His ego is fine\n\nIt's not though.",
"I love a lot of Mad TV, but yeah, this was a weak sketch.",
"Norm would have appreciated this joke.",
"Most of it was terrible but every now and then they struck gold.",
"i have a lot of love for the people on the show, but the show always seemed to make the most obvious, least surprising, thus least funny jokes.",
">Dave Chappelle cares a whole lot.\n\nOr, just spitballing here, he's a comedian and it would be fucking crazy of him to not address an ongoing feud like that? One that his fans clearly are entertained by? \n\n&#x200B;\n\nAlso unrelated aside, though sometimes jokes came off as so ignorant it was difficult to take his whole \"what does that *MEAN?\"* shticks seriously, I thought the way he ended it was as good as it could've been.

">No, he cares that they don't like his jokes. He's deeply offended at that notion that someone thinks he's a bad person.\n\nChief, those are two totally different things. One thing I can absolutely guarantee is you do not become a comedian if you can't handle people not liking your jokes. He likely performed tons and tons of jokes that completely bombed when building the hour. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nAlso, who wouldn't be offended by the notion someone thinks you're a bad person?

">What's crazy? It wasn't good material, it wasn't original, it's not a subject he has special expertise or perspective on.\n\nWhether or not the material was good is entirely subjective. It's comedy, and his style is intentionally abrasive and always has been. The fact you think it's bad is irrelevant given it's so plainly obvious many others think otherwise. \n\n>it's not a subject he has special expertise or perspective on\n\nNeither are necessary for comedy to be funny, which imo is the sole purpose of standup, to be funny. Not be \"society's truthtellers,\" to make people go haha and have a good time. He did that, obviously, so the argument it's \"bad comedy\" is a pretty fucking difficult one for me to accept. \n\n>There are any number of subjects Dave could focus on.\n\nOkay, but that's irrelevant. It make audience haha. That's all it's meant to do. Dave likes to get all real now, and I think it's entertaining because he's a weird guy with a weird way of seeing things, or so I think. You don't, fine. \n\nThe argument that what he said was offensive I can understand, but the idea comics need to 'stay in their lane' is laughable",
">Neither are necessary for comedy to be funny,\n\nIt's necessary for it to be \"crazy\" for him to not make it the focus of his special.",
"Fair enough, but you'd think being hated very publicly by a community hundreds of thousands strong is something to bring up. After his last special it was certainly the elephant in the room, and that's plenty enough reason to dedicate a chunk of the hour on it. But whatever, you didn't like it, I did, tbh I don't think it really matters",

Just put trigger warnings before the piece of media. They did that with some disney cartoons prior to 2020.... which got removed/edited after George Floyd was killed.\n\nSigh.... No wonder the whole \"those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it\" seems more and more relevant every day. And it's not the governments gaslighting us. I hate to say it, but it could totally be a slipper slope situation. We're, in general, are so addicted to outrage nowadays.\n\nRemember when everyone use to get angry about schools/states/countries banning books? Good times.",

"Backstory time:\n\nThis dance by Brigham Young University’s Cosmo the Cougar and the Cougarettes is from a few years ago (when dabbing was hot). \n\nThe guy inside the Cosmo suit came out as gay after graduation and took a lot of flack from the Mormon church that sponsors BYU. At BYU you have to be celibate and not draw any attention to yourself if you’re LGBTQ+. While draconian, this is an improvement from a time in recent history when electro-shock therapy was the cure of choice at BYU. \n\nSo, love the dancers but not the school/church."

"The amazing thing is that, if companies in developing countries paid a living wage, the price would go up but not nearly as much as people think. But if would also make it less economically viable to ship your products halfway around the world (sometimes multiple times over). It would incentivize manufacturing to return to a more local level, bring those (now higher paying) manufacturing jobs back to developed countries, and make sure people earn enough to actually afford the higher prices.\n\nBut businesses make too much money exploiting developing nations with labor condition on par with late 1800's America (child labor, total corporate control of the local economy, absolute neglect for worker health and safety standards, etc).",

"This was in the period often called the long peace, and it was also a period of astounding and well organized pacifist movements. Though there was certainly belligerence in the years to come, I disagree with the blanket statement that people were hungry for war. \n\nFurthermore, hundreds of thousands of French civilians died in WWI, and the horrors of the war were certainly apparent to every family and every village across the country. \n\nBy WWII, France was anything but belligerent and pro-war, in fact the very opposite is true.",

"> The weirder thing is they also talk like that outside of work.\n\nI am sure it's *weird* but it's sensical if you think about it for a bit. When you're exposed to different accents and begin to take them on yourself, while it can be to a degree, it's often not a totally conscious act so when you try to talk in your previous accent (or likely, try to talk \"without an accent\") the impact of having formed new speech habits will still likely be present and you won't sound exactly as you did.\n\nI personally believe that when you take this further and very much intentionally practice changing your inflection, as you would if you were trying to become a reporter/working in the position, two things happen that might make this kind of \"code-switching\" even harder than simply trying to talk \"without an accent\". \n\nFor one, when you've been really practicing an intentional voice I think that the habits are more strictly formed, you're training yourself out of speaking in any other way as opposed to just accidentally picking a new way of speaking up. \n\nSecondly, you may not actually want to code-switch. You've likely spent a lot of time and effort learning this new inflection and during that time you've likely become aware that when you do code-switch, it can take some practice to get back into the right voice. So if \"turning it off\" is going to make turning it back on harder tomorrow at work, you might be hesitant to turn it off. Especially if your spouse also shares your position and won't think you're weird for it/is doing it too. Not everyone is going to feel this way of course so this reason won't apply to all of the people that talk like this (and many of them do code-switch), but it could explain part of why your siblings don't.",

His body language shows that his skill ceiling is way higher than that of these tricks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he legitimately didn’t think he’s missed that trick in years. \n\nAnd the perfect out is baked into the story if he eats shit. He bails, gets up, and says “well it looks like I’ll be out here on Monday for some lessons”. \n\nAnd if he hits his head then you can’t really be embarrassed while you’re unconscious.",

"There are two stances in skateboarding, ‘regular’ and ‘goofy’ (there’s actually three but ‘mongo’ one is weird and not important now). If you use your right foot to push and pop while jumping, you’re regular. If you use your left, you’re goofy. \n\nYou would usually use your back foot to pop your board while jumping, but you can also use your front foot. It’s harder to do this cause you are essentially jumping back while going forward. \n\nIf you switch stances, that’s called ‘switch’ and it’s harder cause it’s weird and you use your ‘wrong’ foot to pop. \n\nWhen you switch from your preferred stance and use your front foot to pop, that’s ‘fakie’. If you’re in your regular stance and use your front pop, that’s ‘nollie’. Nollie tricks are harder than fakie because of the whole wrong foot thing. \n\n\nIf you watch this clip, he switched his stance with a powerslide and shuffled his feet to the front of the board while approaching the quarter pipe making it a fakie. He ascended and then stalled on top of the quarter pipe using the nose of his board, which is called a nosestall. Based on his stance and feet position, he was in a fakie, which makes this a fakie nosestall. \n\nAlso, quarter pipe is a literally a quarter of a full pipe, but I got a feeling you might now this one already.\n\nEDIT: it’s actually a fakie tail stall cause nose and tail of the board are relative to your stance, not direction of your board.",

"Vocal fry is a completely natural part of human speech that exists in many languages. \n\nThere are languages in which frying the word and not frying the word actually changes its meaning. \n\nThe fry does not damage your vocal chords any more than regular speech. \n\nVocal fry is often picked up better in microphones that can handle a lower register, hence why you hear it on NPR or radio broadcasts in which the speaker is using state of the art tech, but not as much on a cell phone. The same person might appear to have no fry in their normal speaking voice, but put them in front of a radio and you can hear it. \n\nThe trend of people harassing anyone with vocal fry in the US is due to its negative perception and association with actresses like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. Not everyone who uses fry is a girl, nor are they ditsy. In fact, most men have some element of vocal fry but are not criticised for it since it's \"sexy\" where as women with fry are \"dumb\". Robert Downey Jr. And Benedict Cumberbatch have lots of instances of fry in their roles in marvel movies, but never once have I heard them criticised for it. \n\nIn short, criticism in vocal fry is rooted in sexist, classist biases and people need to educate themselves before making stupid remarks about it.",

"You're the one that doesn't seem to understand why people are more concerned with the safety of children than a man's ability to empathize with parents protecting their kids.\n\nI'm not trying to personally attack you, but you take offense to me making an analogy with a dog? I'm using that as an example of something representing an unknown danger, not implying that single men lick their own assholes.\n\nYou are insisting on making it about you and your feelings while I've just tried explaining why it isn't about your or my feelings.\n\nEspecially when the scenario in question can be easily resolved by introducing yourself to parents and explaining your goals and motives, and then simply accepting and respecting if people aren't comfortable with their kids hanging out with strange adults.\n\nYou think the guy in this news story never had parents question him, or at least look at him with some caution before meeting and getting to know him? But he probably felt strongly that it was about the kids and not him, and so took no offense if or when parents would act protective.\n\nWe all have to deal with stereotypes that aren't necessarily fair. But if you, specifically, feel that it is offensive that parents tend to be suspicious of random strangers trying to hang out with their kids, then maybe kids just aren't the best avenue for you to do something selfless for your community.

"I was never refering to myself. I was referring to the way unaccompanied grown men are generally treated by society. You went on to confirm the reasons why I was correct while still, inexplicably, simultaneously personally insulting me like a condescending cunt.",
"I worked with kids for three years, never accused of being a predator. \n\nI think this is a you thing, and congrats on how skillfuly you can reinforce your own bias by reacting defensively to someone genuinely making an attempt at explaining something from a viewpoint not your own. \n\nHave a better life dude.",
"It's never happened to me either! Are you fucking stupid? How are you not getting this?",

Makes stink on this on Twitter.\n6. Teamviewer calls Linus, says they specifically targeted his system to no longer get the pop-ups. \n7.

A few years ago software companies realised they could do the same.

Forced obsolescence, where your MacBook or clothes start falling apart as your warranty ends is related to rent seeking, but at least in that situation they're still giving you new things they spent actual resources on.\n\nThis is the stuff that makes people leftists.

In the early 2000s bosses would be sitting with three year old versions of everything refusing to upgrade and so sending or receiving files was a nightmare because everyone working on a multi agency project was spread from Photoshop 4 to Photoshop 7 🤦🏻♂️ \n\nIf anyone thinks that €12 a month is expensive for Photoshop alone they are too young to remember that that fucker was €700 **BY ITSELF** with no updates or upgrades, ever. Next version comes out in a year? Another €500 for the upgrade license 😬\n\nI spend a steady, reliable, manageable, planable €600 a year on the Adobe software suite (sometimes €300 a year if they do special offers in November) but make back ~€60,000 for that investment. That is a 100x return on my money. \n\nOh, I also spend about two month's out of the year working in 3DS MAX/Vray so I pay €200 for that on their sub models instead of the €3500 the MAX license used to be. \n\nHere's the other biggest change that happened when Adobe went subscription : instead of holding back snazzy new features for the next big release, Adobe trial and then release new features right into existing versions.\n\nThe latest cool one is AI-driven subtitling which means I saved 4 hours this week writing captions for stupid assed social media videos but still got paid €200 for it 🤷♂️\n\nYeah if you're a student or casual then the Adobe suite is expensive, but you can go for one month at a time and there are student licenses.\n\nFor professionals working in multiple mediums Adobe can on one hand be total cunts about pushing updates and not fixing bugs, but on the other from a workflow and time saving perspective it's still a good deal, especially compared to the per-version pricing.",

"Eat a dick is a phrase you would use interchangeably with fuck off or pound sand. It’s got a nice ring to it, and is rather vulgar in imagery, so people like using it. But, it does have an implication that performing oral sex on a man is a filthy degenerate act, regardless of the gender of the performer. I’m just answering your question honestly, idc what phrases you use personally, but that’s why this phrase is not really all that great, and can be hurtful for gay people and women. It plays into the stereotype of only men who have sex with women are ok, women who have sex with men and men who have sex with men, not ok. #JustPuritanThings\nI’m personally more of the camp of responding unexpectedly positively towards any phrases that have micro aggression like this in it. My friends hit me with an eat a dick, I hit back with a alright whip it out m8.

I remember back when I was using them they tried to tell me I was using them for \"business\" and it was against their license agreement. \n\nWhy did they say I was using it for business? Because I tried to access my plex machine and my gaming machine, and there is no possible way someone could have more than 1 computer they ever need to access.\n\nOk. That's lame but I get it. So let me go to their site to see if there is some personal use paid plan I can buy. You know something very simple like 5-10$ a month for the service I'd pay for easily. It was a pretty nice program and being able to name connections was nice. \n\nOh look a SINGLE USER LICENSE is 25 fucking dollars a month and limits me to only 3 PCs.

It lacked some features, and the features it did have were clunky. Not to mention all the weird glitches I got on it. But it was free, and it let me name connections. \n\nAfter a while I just got fed up with it and just dived into RDP. Multi monitor Support.

My wife, on the other hand, loves to eat a dick, and I can recognize that for her, eating a dick (especially one attached to someone she loves) might be a fantastic experience.\n\nIt's not hateful at all to recognize that for the majority of men out there, eating a dick would be unpleasant. Some guys and girls are all about snacking on schlong 24/7, and I think that's awesome. Using unwanted fellatio to curse someone out isn't intended to make a statement about connoisseurs of cock, it's intended to make a statement about wishing the other party would engage in something they will probably hate.\n\nYes, it's immature and puerile. But so is accusing someone of misogyny/homophobia/exclusionary language over a commonly used insult used in a heated moment.\n\nNow, I wish you the best, and may you enjoy a nice penis in your mouth soon (but only if both of you are into that sort of thing).",

"RDP =/= Teamviewer in functionality or ease of setup.\n\n1. Their primary usecase for Teamviewer is to share a single windows session between multiple people. RDP doesn't do this rather it opens a new session for each user and if you login to the same session from two locations its boots the other session off.\n\n2. RDP isn't cross platform. They mention they need to remote in to android devices. The client is available on most platforms but not the server.\n\n3. They work from home a lot and while you can setup an RDP Gateway managing it without a dedicated sysadmin and a proper ad domain is a logistical and security nightmare.\n\nI use RDP every day and I much prefer it to Teamviewer but there are many use cases it doesn't cover well.\n\nEdit: Some clarifications regarding platforms",

Well Bama will be Bama... \n\nThe new law only granted exemption to someone producing like 50,000 barrels a year. Basically only Stone would meet that requirement.\n\nStone came back and wanted the law updated for smaller breweries. Alabama sad nah and Stone told them to fuck off.",

I saw your post history, and it's just kind of sad - even if it's a \"joke\". \n2. I'm not suggesting this is a **Best Security Practice^TM**. I said \"The better thing to do\".\n3. This is a case where an account is actually representing an organisation rather than an individual. Those actually exist, believe or not - and it genuinely does happen that the solution is some shared mobile phone in the office that those responsible for that account use. The second factor here is proving they are who they say they are - a representative of the organisation. If someone leaves for whatever reason, you revoke their ability to prove that. That might be by removing their SSH keys, their VPN access,closing their accounts, etc.\n\nSo we're clear here, *obviously* the better thing to do is that everyone has an account, and that everyone has a 2FA device. Honestly it was so obvious that I didn't think it needed to be said - but I guess people so smart as yourself really need it spelled out for you without any ambiguity, right?",

When you have a lot of money, earning more money becomes far less important. The increase in your quality of life decreases exponentially the more money you make.\n\nMaking lots of money doesn't guarantee you like your job.

There could be scenarios where you are fully authenticated but lack and rights so you still get rejected. \n\nIts that subtle difference between Authentication and Authorization that is easy to mess up",
"I agree, in most cases, but you also had to pay for each new version. So you’d drop some cash, sometimes a sizable a mount, and a year or two later your software is becoming obsolete.

The company tried to do a PR move and make Linus look like he just needed tech support. They tried to spin it. He smacked it down publicly, and even when they tried to really help him, he smacked that down publicly too and chastised them for helping him.

Possibly on site it support etc.\n\nI had lowest tier license, which was for 1-2 computers at the time (a few years ago) they wanted me to pay top tier license which was obscenely expensive and definitely didn't apply to our fit my use case. I don't believe I violated the terms, I wasn't on an enterprise network.\n\n\nEdit : actually, about a year before I had trouble with team viewer, I connected to a machine on a named or enterprise account.

"I Think you’re thinking of “enterprise” in the context of networking and hardware. Like using big huge switches and racks. It’s a tier of hardware, like saying “industrial”. \n\nThat’s probably not what they mean. In the context of a license, it means using something with a business. The whole point of enterprise licenses and home-use licenses is to charge people that are using it as a hobby less than people that are using it for business use. In this context it’s like saying “commercial license”, “business license” or “professional license”. Kind of like a student license, it’s more about the purpose you’re using it for than the hardware you’re running.",

"If you read the licensing agreement when you buy teamviewer licenses, like I did when purchasing 1200 of them, it clearly states you are buying x number of seats for x price and will receive x version. Upgrades will need to be paid. In my case, I paid for 1200 seats of teamviewer 11, and can only ever use teamviewer 11, because that is what I paid for under the terms of the agreement. If you want upgrade privileges you need to buy upgraded licenses, or with some companies you can pay “software maintenance”. Teamviewer licensing is pretty clear, but most people don’t read it or they wouldn’t bother buying it. Perpetual licensing means you perpetually own only the version you purchased unless otherwise expressed or implied within the licensing agreement.",
"I hate TeamViewer so much. Their software is good. Their pricing is outrageous.\n\nI had the free version (can't complain about that) when they told me I was using it for business and needed to pay. I wasn't using it for business. I had it on my work computer to help my mom and GF while I was at work (and those occasions were pretty rare). \n\nAll of a sudden I could not use it at all (worked for like 30 seconds then cut me off).\n\nSo, that time I figured I would just pay for a 1-month subscription to get it to work so I could fix my GFs computer. Except, while they advertise a monthly rate, they charge it by the year. So, just wanting to use it once cost me over $600 (over $50/month x12).\n\nFuck. Them.\n\nI deleted it from my system. Never going back.\n\nDid I say fuck them already? Hard to say it too much.",
"No. \"Enterprise Environment\" is a specific tier in SaaS that denotes more than XXX number of users where that variable is three digits for a reason. We're not talking about pay $5 for personal, $10 for business, we're talking pay $10 for business or $5000/yr for enterprise",
"Drink a bag of dicks.",
"*Blender has entered the chat*",
"Got 'em!\n\nMark it, Donny.",
"The problem with subscription is that no one wants to have software that updates all the time. Most people consider the old non CC versions more stable than CC. \n\nPeople weren’t buying photoshop if they didn’t have the money it was mostly companies that paid for it as it should be. Trying to squeeze every penny you can out of the poor workers trying to make creative stuff in their spare time is bullshit.",

I don't begrudge anyone their success but having someone there to support your broke ass for the first few years is almost a requirement these days.\n\nHell, even the internet's favorite game dev, Concerned Ape, had family and friends willing to support him while he was working on stardew valley (and just about maxed out credit cards apparently).",
"Was this sub supposed to cater to your preferences today or something?",
"My friend is a pro graphics designer. He has an Adobe subscription for a bunch of their products. He needed a certain version and a certain plug-in for that version. He contacted them and pleaded with them and they said there was no way it could be done. Then I told him just grab his older Macbook and I'll put a pirated older copy on there with the plug-in for when you need it. That's what we did. I told him be careful when he talks to Adobe (which he does a bit he's a power user and they use him in some promos and he tests out some features...) cuz if they find out they'll probably sue him and cancel all his shit.",

"I bought a perpetual license for $9.99 around 2010 and have been using Splashtop on five PC's to this day. Kinda shocked it still works, and they haven't found a way to get me to pay per year.",
"> Ideally you want to have separate accounts for everyone. That way you can also easily revoke access to it when a person leaves\n\nYeah but lots of web services are pay-per-seat, so saying get a different account for everyone is like saying \"just pay 10x as much for the product!\"",
"Technically yes, you should pay for a license for every user. It's part of your operating cost. If not, where is the cutoff point? Should companies with hundreds of people be allowed to buy only a single license for all their users?\n\nAnd if you only have a single installation, you could have the 2FA handled by a supervisor or IT. In most cases it's not that you have to verify on every log-on. Only when it's on a new device.",
"That sounds wrong, but I’ll take your word for it. \n\nAnd for what’s it’s worth, personal vs business is a spectrum. Some apps are free to a few hundred for personal and up to thousands for business, it’s not always $5/$10, you’re minimizing that scenario to make your point sound better, which is slightly dishonest.",
"I did state $5/$10 as an example but I’m not interested in argument to defend those numbers, or my use of them.\n\nThe case I was wanting to make is that the word “Enterprise” doesn’t just mean “Business” it means “Huge, (possibly) Multinational Corporation with Hundreds of Employees” and that Software as a Service (SaaS) typically charges astronomically larger rates when dealing with Enterprise customers.\n\nI have actually dealt with vendors that have quoted at least 2 orders of magnitude higher for Enterprise than “Medium Businesses”. If I recall correctly one particular vendor started the Enterprise tier at around 60+ employees.",
"As I said I’m happy to take your word for it. I can only speak generally. Only you know what your license included, assuming you read it.",

"Could not agree more… what a mesmerizing and majestic animal!",
"every time I see an owl flying at night its absolutely the most surreal thing because it seems like it defies the laws of physics. its so much slower than anything else in the air that size.",
"People don't realize how little of the owl's volume is actual owl. They're super puffy, and their feather configuration is particularly aerodynamic.",
"Reminds me of that time I had to relocate a baby bird at work. While not exactly the same thing, birds are confusingly light. Got the dude sitting on my finger and aside from the feets gripping, I basically couldn't tell the baby bird was even there. It must be similarly weird holding an owl, considering they're much bigger than most birds and probably much lighter as you said, at least size to weight ratio.",
"Nature rocks.",
"It's from an hour long documentary that's been sold and titled differently on different channels with localized narrators. Here, I think it's shown on PBS Nature! \n\nThe rest of the documentary is packed with incredible own info. \n\nOne thing for BTS fans is that there are various cheats done with all nature videos. For example, here, the feather disturbance shots are done by superimposing the bird flight over a shot of feathers that get moved to simulate the effect. Doesn't change the informational aspect, but it does allow the documentary to be filmed with a rational budget and schedule.",
"Owls have incredible hunting vision, they can spot a mouse from a couple thousand feet away.\n\nTheir hearing is also incredibly suited for hearing. They have dissimilar ears, which helps them sonically locate prey even when it can't be seen. They can pluck a mouse out from underneath hay, grass or even snow just by audio location only.",
"That's more than half the reason they are silent. They require significantly less effort to generate enough lift to fly the same exact distance. But I do kind of agree; the test should have been with them rising in elevation instead of decreasing."

"Eh, Tinder is just a tool.\n\nI don't put much stock in it and I certainly don't let it affect me.",
"Well this was a well-produced piece of completely opinionated garbage.",
"This video is full of nonsense.\n\nI took issue with one initial premise: that people lack agency. We are not slaves to cell phone apps, although we're often taught that we are. We choose to use dating apps, and we are not wrong to use to the resourses available to us to achieve what we want.\n\nI take a second issue with either notion that the media teaches us that being single is empowering or that tinder is helping dating for the better. Aren’t single people constantly bombarded with attitudes of suspicion about “if you’re still single by 30 there must be something wrong with you;” and aren’t couples, still to this day, constantly shamed for having met on dating apps? If you met your husband on tinder, did you tell your mom that, or did you say “a friend introduced us.”? Were you taught that being single was empowering? Did your parents encourage you to use tinder? I certainly never was. Our society devalues single people and shames those who use dating or hookup apps.\n\nThis person even sites, within their own video, evidence contrary to their alleged view. They cite at 9:42 a news report from CBS which attempts to shame users for using Tinder, even in the same video where they claim main stream media \\*supports\\* tinder use! And did anyone else clock that this entire video is actually made of up clips from other media? I guess it's inherently untrustworthy then...\n\nA third issue is that it actually \\*is\\* ok to be single and dating apps actually \\*do\\* help us find people to date or hookup with. This video is a part of those camps of mainstream media which continue to shame people for being single, and/or for using dating apps. It’s ok guys, it’s ok to be single, \\*and\\* it’s ok to want to find connection, and it’s ok to seek it out and by all means, use an app if you want to.\n\nA forth issue is the inherent slut shaming; I think this will be a controversial one but the video’s argument takes it for granted that anonymous sex or hookups are inherently wrong because there’s a lack of human connection. I invite you stay right where you are on this issue because it’s everyone’s personal right, but each consenting adult \\*does\\* have the right to enjoy as much or as little sex as they please. It’s a personal decision, and I oppose any shady institution that would slap a value judgement on a human being for having “too much” or “too little” sex. It’s not for others to decide what is considered a meaningful connection between human beings. Some people seek meaningful connection through numerous, fleeting connections with multiple people; everyone you encounter and spend time with is an experience that you can grow from. Still others prefer that connection to be with one person over a long period of time, cherishing the intimacy and bond that can only be shared with one other human being. I believe most of us do some of both or aren't really sure. It’s your right to make that decision for yourself and I support whatever decision you make. I oppose any position that describes anyone else as “cheap” because they stand on a different side.\n\nLastly, the person who made this video was disingenuous in their suggestion that we need to spend more time with others, in their assumption that each of us has equal opportunity to do so. Many people use dating apps because they have no avenue towards human connection otherwise. People meet in bars, but maybe you don’t like to go to bars or you don’t care for the people you meet in bars. Maybe you have a hobby that you'd love to share with someone, but your local area does not have a group dedicated to that hobby. Maybe you like to hike in the mountains but you live where it’s flat. You love to ski but live in Florida. Do you really mean to tell me that, after this whole argument on “tinder is bad,” your solution is “meet someone in real life instead!” Is this a joke? Are you kidding me? You think nobody thought of that? You had to make a whole video who's main point was \"guys I found the solution to being single, it's not tinder or dating apps, it's meeting someone in real life and falling in love!\" shove off, punk.",
"I don't think it was actually all that well-produced 😅 it was just clips and a voice-over",
"I just married my first ever tinder date so I know i’m biased but I actually think tinder gets too much shit. It seems very shallow but to me it’s actually incredibly efficient which is why I believe so many people these days have found lasting relationships from it. \n\nImagine going to a bar looking for a potential partner. Now deduct everybody there that’s in a relationship, now deduct everybody there that’s the wrong age category, now deduct everybody there that isn’t attracted to you or you them. How many are you left with and how many of them can you talk to in one night? \n\nThe whole basis of picking somebody purely on looks is just the pre-requisite which we all have in real life anyway. But it allows you to work through hundreds of potential partners in a day. A short conversation over phone, see if anything clicks. Then a date with no expectation for a second if things don’t gel. It’s so easy and quick. And provides such a good chance at finding somebody you actually could enter a relationship with.",

"Good.",
"All reality is he'll just go to a parking area for a few hours and come back when they're gone. He won't get paid until he delivers his load",
"> delivers his load\n\n[hehehehehehe](https://c.tenor.com/Gbnib9PB0xUAAAAM/laughing-laugh.gif)",
"It's set up to be staffed 24/7 as far as I am aware",
"\"successfully convince\"? Seems like he was on their side",
"Oh yeah, the guy who was driving there for the explicit reason of delivering his freight to a location, but then opted not to because of people picketing, was totally not convinced of anything and indeed, he was planning to do that all along!\n\nYou people are fucking miserable.\n\nEDIT: Note that this person deleted their comment. Keep being obvious dropouts, Reddit. You do you better than anyone ever could.",
"Have you heard of the Teamsters? Freight and delivery is heavily unionized. Crossing picket lines to make deliveries is officially and explicitly against UPS policy, and I imagine lots of other delivery and freight companies have similar rules.\n\nEdit: PS: Username checks out.",
"Unlikely. Freight and delivery are heavily unionized, and in some cases the unions are powerful enough that shipping companies have official policies to not cross picket lines for deliveries.",
"Thanks to union contracts Teamster drivers have every right to, and are encouraged to honor the picket lines of other unions. This driver is almost certainly on the striking workers' side, and thanks to their own union will not get in trouble.",
"Yep. I use a lot of carriers (private & contract), and virtually all of them have policies that they won't cross picket lines. Need something delivered to a company that's on strike? Too bad!",
"I believe you missed what I was responding to pretty much completely. I was responding to people claiming that those who were picketing \"didn't do shit\" to have the trucker turn around.\n\nYou only backed up my point, not refuted it. *???*\n\nUsername checks out.",
"My fav lil jon deere song, *Turn Back A Truck*",
"What's on the truck and why don't they want it to cross? I'm not all up to speed on this situation, I know they're on strike because of the bum ass contract being offered and that's about it",
"It doesn’t matter what’s specifically on the truck, what matters is it hurts the company to not receive the delivery, which gives power to the strikers.",
"More like he wasnt about to unload all his shit by himself",
"So we agree that unions are good and inter-union solidarity is also good? Is that right? Personally I'm most impressed by how you handled such an obvious misunderstanding with boundless grace and good cheer.",
"ok so this is right outside one of their plants or something then?",
"Yeah, I’m not sure what building it is exactly but they would be striking outside their place of work, be that a distribution center or factory",
"I only recently learned that solidarity striking is ILLEGAL in America.\n\nLike how is the working class supposed to affect meaningful change?\n\nIs that why everyone is resigning?",
">Like how is the working class supposed to affect meaningful change?\n\n\nI have a feeling they aren't supposed to. What with capitalists calling all the shots in their country lol.",
"you can clearly see the driver do a double take, reads the signs, is convinced and blows his horn. he was convinced.",
"Yeah, looked like he just needed to get close enough and slow down enough to read the signs since the picketers were moving them so much",
"It would be nice if they were striking for something that brings social change, for example, right to repair. John Deere is notorious for this.",
"> \"Is that why everyone is resigning?\"\n\nThe \"Great Resignation\" dynamic that's happening across society is happening for a wide variety of diverse reasons. There's no \"1 cause\".",
"The general demands involve fair wages, improved retirement benefits, and workplace limitations like removing forced overtime. This is just as much social change as right to repair.",
"They specifically mention supporting John Deere on their website right now. https://teamster.org first thing you see when you scroll down.",
"this is way more important social change than the repairability of your gadgets.",
"Can we get some more concrete information on this and some links?\nhttps://labornotes.org/2008/10/sympathy-strikes-law-solidarity-legal\n\n\n\nThe taft-hartley act from 1947 you might be referencing allows businesses suing for damages if there is a no-strike clause and the NLRB tried to claim that no strike clauses also include sympathy strikes. But a 9th circuit court of appeals ruling in 1985 contends with that, see the link i posted below.\n\nhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1249874.html\n\n\nIt's also fair to note the US has gone through a lot with labor and in the past might have been bit the law was struck down.\n\n\nPretty sure it is not expressly illegal and depends on how your union contract is written.",
"Both are very important",
"It's frustrating for people to see social change as something they can take advantage of as a consumer, and not the betterment of those who make the products.",
"I mean, a big part of the right to repair fight is around the repairability of John Deer tractors and combines. They have them chipped such that you are forced to go to them for service essentially, which for some farmers means putting your huge piece of farming equipment on a flatbed trailer and towing it a day’s drive away, which logistically is really rough.",
"I wish I could join a union. I wish we had more of them.",
"The bright minds of Reddit are very easily triggered when told that they're wrong. It's really quite embarrassing to witness.\n\nI'm seeing you're being downvoted, too.\n\n\"He was not convinced wtf!\" \"Well actually, he was, because why el-\" \"REEEEEEEE NO HE WASN'T WTF SHUT THE FUCK UP REEEE\" \"...oh okay\"\n\nBest to not engage.",
"Haha yeah, drivers regularly drive to destinations to just turn around and get paid nothing.\n\nReddit is *actually* this fucking stupid. Holy shit.\n\nDon't bother continuing this conversation. You've already shown your hand as not being able to handle being wrong and it's really just embarrassing at this point.\n\nIf you can't grasp a very simple concept that people won't drive semi trucks just to \"stick it to the man\" or whatever it is you think happened here, then you really shouldn't be trying to debate.\n\nBye.",
"are you an actual person.",
"I’m probably gonna get flames for this but I don’t get it. Even though they’re on strike there’s others that have jobs to do. What’s the big deal about crossing a picket line?",
"What a question.",
"When we were on strike we didn't allow a single semi or delivery truck in to my plant. This is not a new tactic. Works great when they are trucks from out of country.",
"Same. I live in a pretty conservative area in my country.",
"Same. I work in a chronically anti-union field. Lots of dumbbass Libertarian (with a big L) types.",
"As others have pointed out, the driver is themselves part of a union, and by cooperating with another union both groups reinforce the rights and influence of working people.",
"right to repair is an important cause, but it sounds like the farmers need to organize and strike for it (in this particular case with the tractors). These are John Deere factory workers striking for higher wages and better working conditions, they're two separate fights",
"I was unaware of this. Learned something new today. My company has never told us anything about this but then again I haven't had to deliver to any customers having a strike either.",
"He wouldn't be doing that anyway",
"I’m thinking very very few would be outside of a traveling Deere tech location. Pretty much any farmer will buy within a service network and those networks have mobile techs that can do anything in the field apart from like a blown transmission or something.",
"This is an absolutely stupid thing to strike for, and even then its illegal to do so as well. I really don't think you understand how strikes work.",
"There is something about celebratory honks that makes me so happy",
"Do you actually think the customer receiving the delivery pays the driver? How do you think shipping works?\n\nEdit: Honestly I can't even tell if you're right or wrong or whatever, because all you're posting is really unnecessarily shitty nonsense. Learn to form a coherent thought.",
"Sure. :)",
"It’s what they refer to with the term “solidarity”. It doesn’t just apply to your specific Union. It’s all of them. You understand why someone is striking, and if you help their company you’re defeating their intended purpose.",
"Well I got an email from the union that I’m in talking about they don’t agree with vaccine mandates which says to me they’ll strike over this. If it happens I 500% plan on going to work regardless because why the fuck would you strike over the vaccine"

Trying to make something that's indistinguishable from the original, at scale but with a limited budget, while also having it be legal for commercial sale is where the real challenge comes in. \n\nIf you watch the videos on YouTube there are examples of this all over - milling the malic acid into the right consistency required a custom solution, because normal (affordable) ball mills are not food safe. At home maybe you don't care, just use a mortar and pestle for a tiny batch, or a toy rock polishing tumbler for a larger one, and it's good enough for you. Or you might even leave the malic acid powder in its existing coarse granularity, since you don't care that it won't perfectly match the original candy.

However when they need contractors to support those systems (you generally don't want to throw someone inexperience on a System handling Millions of the dollar of transactions), the pay can be pretty great.\n\nHowever the Unionized folks that were initially working on them were drastically underpaid (Think like 1 person who when they died, was replaced by 2 contractors getting paid easily 2.5X what they were). If they had just quit the company would have had to hire them back at a price they could have basically named as a contractor.\n\nI don't think there is really a way to be a Junior COBOL person, and soon all of these systems will get replaced as all the COBOL Devs die. But if you were a COBOL Dev from like 1970-2010 you probably had a pretty good run, and probably got to make a wad of cash in the last 90s with Y2K and then keep just contracting out after that.",
"Also a very good story teller as well.",
"They're tasty, but not terribly similar to the Altoids in my opinion.\n\nThe texture is not as rough, and the powder coating is more sandy than powdery like the originals. Lofty Pursuits literally made the effort of grinding their malic acid into a finer consistency in their version. They also don't have the textured surface that the originals do. And since they're larger, they have a lower ratio of surface to volume. The result is that they're just less sour overall. I also got their sour lime flavor (among a few others), which is more sour than their tangerine. I actually prefer them. And if I order from them again, I'll have to try their sour lemon ones too.",

"Yep, all the pixies trying to get into the port at once produces a three stooges type situation",
"job? I doubt they have a job. not a single dev job only has you doing one code",
"Or it could be like all those \"release this movie sequel\" online petitions where thousands and thousands of people sign up and all it does is serve as a free opinion poll for producers to discover that the audience isn't big enough to justify further production.",

"Vine was unable to monetize and ended up doing the 90's dot com crash thing. Tiktok is run by china as a large scale datamining operation.",
"I grew up at the appropriate time and never had them, now I want to; this is that.",
"I loved those things, but didn't they eat away at your tongue if you had too many too quickly? Considering I went through a tin almost immediately after I got it...",
"Exactly, Vine didn't just shut down for no reason, they couldn't monetize well, even with all the money investors and the like pumped into it. It was like Uber or something, meaning they were operating at a loss and hoping to eventually go from red to black, but they couldn't make it happen fast enough before the money ran out.\n\nI've seen people say, \"Why didn't they just inject ads into people's feeds?\" In the early and even mid '10s, ads weren't as prevalent in social media feeds as they are now. Also, Vines were only six seconds long, so not many advertisers wanted to spend a lot of money on six seconds of ad time every now and then. \"Influencers\" were just becoming a thing and weren't anywhere close to what they are now, so that wasn't really an option for revenue either. Even the Vine developers disliked ads in general, so that didn't help, and competitors like Facebook/Instagram implemented their own versions of short form videos.\n\nUnfortunately, Vine was way ahead of its time, and a combination of not wanting / being able to monetize through advertisements killed it in the end, and competitors like Facebook and not having China own and fund the whole operation didn't help.",

"Keep in mind this was 10 years ago. Ecommerce was just getting started then.",
"We spent the past day migrating to Shopify. We are making more, but before the crash we sold enough to take us as much as two week to make.",
"Our first e commerce site was live in 1989. There were no options for a non home spun one.",
"I'm an older millenial and remember eating these sours back in the mid aughts. They were great.",
"Only if you Ask Jeeves first.",
"Older millenial sounds like a boomer slang cause he still thinks he's hip.",

"They do! At least how I remember them tasting when I was 6. Not *exactly* it, but holy cow are they close. \n\nThis was the **one** discontinued food I was hoping one day would make a return, and Greg did an excellent job",
"Absolutely. Or just go with a cloud-based host that can scale up and down. You get a little more customization with a host running custom code for your site if you really enjoy the coding aspect. Running your own server in 2021 is kind of a crazy thing to do. It can even be reckless and dangerous to your customers if you're not up to date on modern server security.\n\nI'm a small business owner, and we started making a lot more money when I was able to let other people do things, even if I'm good at them. I can still tinker and mess with server and website stuff, but I'm not stalling the company by indulging my own interests where a core business function is concerned.",
"Guys been hosting websites for over 20 years, he even hosted a forum at one point.\n\nNot that he necessarily kept completely up with the times.. But he's certainly capable of learning what he needs to.",
"> The guy is a programmer as well?? Damn.\n\nAt one time he hosted the most popular yoyoforum on the net, and I believe he coded it (or at least maintained it)",
"> They sell them ...\n\nIts not like they are just repackaging altoids, these are 'home made'. they are going to have at least minor differences.",
"> Keep in mind this was 10 years ago. Ecommerce was just getting started then.\n\nThe guy we're talking about had a skill toy store for like.. 20 years or so",
"I don't think most people are going to just stick to ordering this one candy.. when you order from a place like this you would typically by multiple things at once. Greg will do fine even if altoids brings them back",
"Yeah but what about 70 in iowa vs 500 in the bay?",
"I bought some recently and there was not one bit of curiously strong about them. They ruined Altoids! (Original mint ones) and i hate them for it. \n\n#rant over.",
"Oh yes ads were a new concept in 2016. Vine died because Twitter was too focused on figuring out how to monetize Twitter.",
"Vine ended in 2017. Don’t give me that “ads” weren’t prevalent in social media. Yes there was less for sure, but Twitter didn’t even pretend to try to save it. They were too busy trying to save Twitter",
"Nice.",
"Gen X ended in 1980 so they are 41 or older. Gen X have always been the generation ahead of me.",
"I'm talking. Greg.",
"Thanks. I hope others noticed, but you are the first that has mentioned it. ... Well Johnny Mercer was mentioned but that was it.",
"Messed up the database. Seems that some timing on replies were timing and and then coming through from the processors. Messed up some indexing that was not protected well. I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what happened, and then went \"Why am I doing this? I'm moving to other code?\" and stopped trying to figure it out. Now I'm rebuilding the data for about 200 orders to actually process them by hand. The ones that came through at the end of the failure. Hardware was in the cloud, nothing to hurt, but I did not have the resources to expand.\n\nMind you I did get an e-mail the next morning offering more resources ... but I am done doing repairs to code at midnight. There will be stories about this I suspect on next Tuesdays Lofty Pursuits podcast.",
"To be fair, their branding may be problematic. Someone doesn't just think \"Hey, I need some mints\" and then piviot when they see Altoids in tangerine also. A catchy name and marketing could've made them more successful.",
">We think we are currently running +/- 16 business days to ship orders.\n\nI was one of the lucky ones that got my candy delivered 16 days before ordering.",
"Bless your heart.",
"Ok old person pretending to be young. Run along now boomer.",
"Purely financially, yeah that makes sense. With other aspects in mind (friends and family), I'd stay where I am",
"Data scientists *probably* know R and tsql as well though",
"it's not. Trump signed an illegal executive order for ByteDance to sell to an American company and they ignored it. It's as Chinese as ever.",
"Not everyone. I've never seen them before this remake.",
" That water pick about to really put in that overtime.",
"You say that like it’s … a bad thing? Sheeesh.",
"No, He's doing it for the greater good.",

"yeah, no. serious doubt.",
"its like 50 pieces per bag give or take a few",

The pull request has its own name and description which people will read, so the description you put in this new commit rarely actually gets read by anyone at all. When you complete the pull request and actually merge the update into the master branch (or whatever you're calling it), there are a few ways you can do it; you can 'squash' all the commits contained in the PR into a single commit which gets written into the commit history, or more likely, the commits remain unsquashed, and all get written into the commit history at once, in sequence. Suddenly that commit name nobody would ever read is now permanently in the commit history. ...but only rarely do people actually read through the commit history.\n\n...then again there are some things in here that are just plain dumb, and don't indicate the pattern described above."

I had to move out of the city after two months because some nice anonymous neighbor would slash my tires on the regular. I guess he didn't like having American cars parked on his street. It was a shitty introduction to TO. Not a pleasant experience living there, definitely not the best neighborhood, but it is a great city!"

"I think the reason why most people's first reaction is to laugh is because smash mouth has always been a meme band, nobody has taken them seriously since they debuted and people aren't about to start now. That being said I totally get what this guy's saying and I do think people are having that dialogue, it is sad.",
"5 years ago I would have laughed. Now that I'm sober its hard to watch. Steve is just a human being like the rest of us. I hope he gets the help he so obviously needs.",
"My girl showed it to me and I didn’t laugh . I was sad and bothered that he’s up there surrounded by band mates and they just let him do whatever he wants.",
"Oh fuck this dude and his \"educated\" takes on everything can't stand him",
"It's funny because he's an asshole. This is nothing new with him, his poor bandmates have been dealing with him for nearly 20 years. Being an asshole and being drunk don't necessarily go hand in hand. Being a complete toolbag has little to do with his alcoholism; It just helps to show who he really is. \nThat being said, I do wish he can receive the treatment he needs and the support from his close friends and family to help him through this difficult time. He's clearly a mess.",
"He's also an asshole. He has some serious addiction issues and I hope he gets clean, but let's not gloss over the fact that the guy is a turd.",
"It's because they're professionals. What can you do in that moment? Nuttin. Gotta roll with the punches when it's live. Fuck him, I feel so bad for his bandmates. It has to suck so hard to be put in that situation because ur frontman is a fucken mess.",
"I don’t know about his past videos. Never seen his content. \n\nThat said, he’s not wrong about this. Laughing at someone who is killing themself is pretty shitty. Dude probably needs to be in an addiction recovery program.",
"> nearly 20 years\n\nYou mean around the time his son died and he was in dire financial straits from it? Weird how that affects people.",
"You're right. These entirely unique life situations should allow for him to act like an asshole.\n\nOr\n\nI can sympathize with him and his personal life struggles, but also judge him for his inability to grow or change as a person.\n\nKinda like John Lennon. Had an absolutely horrendous childhood, very sad. Also total asshole.",
"Or\n\nWe can have empathy and understand why he's in such a situation and not find it funny. Asshole or not. I mean, most people seem to be assholes. You kind of come off as one, so there's that.",
">We can have empathy and understand why he's in such a situation and not find it funny. Asshole or not. I mean, most people seem to be assholes. You kind of come off as one, so there's that.\n\nAs a very empathetic person, my empathy dries up at the feet of unbridled behavior.\n\nAnd that's fair. You come across as a sensitive idiot but I'm sure that initial impressions are usually false.",
"By this logic I should reevaluate my perceptions of people like Hitler, Donald Trump and Bin Laden.\n\nWe just can't imagine what it must have been like to be in their shoes, we should show empathy and understanding, asshole or not.",
"Because clearly those three directly correlate to a guy who's having a tantrum on stage.",
"If only there were like... Ways to know how he's behaved for the last 20 years. Oh well 🤷♂️",
"Not even close to my point, but OK.",
">Not even close to my point, but OK.\n\nYou tried to show a lack of distinction between four assholes. Unfortunately, an asshole is an asshole. There are varying levels of assholishness, and varying reasons that would push people to be who they become.\n\nYou confuse my lack of empathy for fucking assholes as some sort of lack of understanding.\n\nI understand how life, in all its complexity can mould people into who they become. At what point do you specifically start holding people accountable for their actions? That point seems far away from the line I draw in the sand. I have sympathy for people who struggle. But not for those who create struggle and strife for others too.",
"There are assholes who have faced adversity, then there are psychopaths. You can't see the difference?",
"Still not the point guy. You're confusing being an asshole with being responsible for mass murder. Get a better argument.",
">Still not the point guy. You're confusing being an asshole with being responsible for mass murder. Get a better argument.\n\nI guess you can be a mass murderer and not an asshole. Okay?",
"Thicker than mud you are.",
">Get a better argument.\n\nYou're arguing semantics with me over a guy who has been documented to have; sexually harassed his fans, performed a Nazi salute on stage, and has generally proven to be difficult and narcissistic for the last two decades.\nNah. My stance is solid. You're defending an atrocious person.",

"Too late, I'm... I'M...TRIGGEREDD!!!",
"As someone who had an issue of not knowing when to stop drinking, I didn’t find it funny at all. Was definitely sad to see. Have never been a fan of Smash Mouth but their music still reminds me of my childhood so it was super sad",
"Everyone has struggles. It does not give you a free pass to be an asshole for most of your life and not expect someone to laugh when you act like a drunken idiot in front of a large crowd of people",
"They actually got pretty popular in Canada when \"walking on the sun\" came out and played a couple B side songs too and looked like they could run that into a career. \n\nBut then All Star came out and was full on meme song, even in the infancy of internet meme world when Youtube just started. I think every 5th page on YTMND had a wav file of all star memeing something.",
"As well you should.",
"Where are you getting this from? Everything I've heard about him is that he is super nice but has a serious alcohol problem",
"As someone in high school when Smash Mouth had their first big hit, they were not a meme band. I feel like Shrek memes have made people forget. The internet made them a meme band later.",
"Videos stretched just past the 10 minute mark tend to be garbage ramblings much of the time.",
"I mean I was pretty young I do remember it being a hit but like it still felt pretty memey.",
"Agreed. I read about Mental Health once: It's not your fault perhaps, but it is your responsibility.\n\nTrue with any disease or disorder.",
"Yes! Judge fairly, but hold them accountable i.e. judge.",
"Straight up, this dude has a problem. Years ago he came to Colorado, and played another outdoor festival, in which the identical type of thing happened (assuming this isn’t the same one). Some idiot vendor gave away free bread, and the drunk crowd started hurling it at him, AFTER he verbally abused people in the crowd. The bread thing though was hilarious. Not that it was being thrown at him, but because people were throwing BREAD! Ridiculous. \n\n\nI digress.\n“I’ll fucking kill your family?” WTF is that? Not okay whatsoever. Dude needs help. That kinda shit is far more unacceptable than being wasted at a show. \n\nWishing he finds what he needs.",
"Really stretching to make a 10 minute video on a 30 second TikTok.",
"I mean I'm not one to judge, but I've never really publicly threatened a guy and his family.",
"I have a huge history of alcoholism in my family. How it missed me, I'll never know. I drank a pretty decent amount during my time in the military and never once had a problem with it.\n\nMy mom has struggled since before I was born (and she was like barely 18 when I was born). Both her parents were raging alcoholics. Her mother, my grandma decided to get sober when I was announced and she was sober till the day she died. My dad's dad is sober but yeah, pretty bad too. Even my step mom's mom was a terrible drunk. I've discovered through my life that most people have no frame of reference when it comes to alcohol addiction. Its really easy to laugh at the drunk and think that, that person just got too tipsy or was having too much fun. They don't, they can't comprehend what alcoholism is. Its a double edged sword. I hate that many people just don't take it that serious, but I'm glad that they've never seen their parent completely wasted at 9 am, and blackout drunk with no other responsible adult around to help. Its really tragic.\n\nAddiction is a public health problem, not personal fault, or a criminal issue. But America in particular isn't ready to face that. We'd still rather just punish people and lock them away.",
">Everything I've heard about him is that he is super nice\n\nLol unless you're jewish apparently.",
"It's come to this now, where I'm commenting \n\\-on you commenting \n\\-on another person commenting \n\\-on someones tiktok who is commeting \n\\-on a bad performance from a mildly popular band with a popular song. \n\n\nWhat am I doing with my Saturdays.....",

The duo went in to her home immediately after her death and took expensive art pieces and literature - completely disregarded her own work (luckily that’s what we cared about so at least that part of her is with people who care).\n\nUltimately, they were unsuccessful in altering any will and the brunt of their greed came in taking and selling her valued, sentimental pieces… but I’ve come to learn that people will be absolutely blind by greed. . \n\nHaven’t really been able to talk about it with anyone as it’s a sore subject but was a profound experience in my life. I used to exchange poetry with her, such a brilliant woman. It would absolutely break her heart to see how her “family” acted.\n\nEdit: Grammar",

"All these thieves are so trashy it is unbelievable. My Dad has managed an assisted living property for years and I grew up there. Started working there, sweeping floors and taking out garbage bins when I was 14 years old. I have seen many, many, many, people pass away and saw all manner of ugliness come out in people I thought were good in probate but this is uniquely trashy and reprehensible.\n\nI remember our process every time a resident passed away and the family wasn't there or there wasn't any family we would carefully and discretely pack every single last thing into boxes and store them. Even the things that seem crazy to save, nail clippers, razors, magazines, etc. You never know what is going to be of comfort to folks, I have seen a family member go through their family member's belongs and only take the packages of microwave popcorn because they wanted to put it in their casket at the funeral, they remembered always eating it with them on New Years eve. \n\nI have done this process with my dad a 100 times. Never in all my times doing it would it even occur to me to take anything. It is so unthinkable as to be genuinely confusing to me and all the countless folks I worked with over the years would feel the same. This is a fairly distinct and unusual level of awfulness. Yes, we carefully packed envelopes of cash, we have packed rings and fancy watches, it would never even occur to me to look at the things closely or go through them let alone take them. \n\nWe still have a few boxes of stuff from someone who passed away in the mid 2000s in storage that I remember packing up. His daughter and him were estranged and she never came but it doesn't take much space and old age has a way of mellowing people so can't be sure she wont ever want it. Still email every couple of years to let her know it is still there and she has never said to toss it so it is still there. There could well be valuable stuff in there but to go through it or take it even more than a decade later wouldn't sit right with me. So to think of these people going through this man's things like Ebenezer Scrooge's bedsheets that same day is truly shocking. They all belong in jail and I hope they end up there.",

"Point still stands. There are folks out there that vote in a very specific way. It’s less a certain allegiance to a certain party and more a complete refusal to vote for the other party. It is a very coordinated and successful campaign by one party to demonize the other one as the harbingers of doom, and this campaign has been very successful. We always hear about how joy and happiness can cause a dopamine hit in our brains that we all enjoy, and will seek out again and again, but it’s also known that a certain type of hate, or “righteous anger”, basically a “hate boner”, can also cause this same type of response that people grow to kind of like. And also, it is a bit harder to reliably duplicate a strong happy response if you run a news organization/TV Channel, compared to the relative ease of producing the “hate” dopamine spike. That’s why we saw the shift in coverage from places like Fox News over the last 20 years. They’ve always been biased, but before they at least covered all the news no matter what. And it also explains the popularity of AM talk radio guys that entire shtick is sharing the total “craziness” of the people from a certain party who want to cancel Christmas, and Force your 3 year old son to take hormone therapy, want you to give up your home so it can become a safe space for immigrants who illegally entered the country while they take your job and wife. People get used to this response and endorphin spike, and seek it out, and grow to need it. The goal is not spreading the news, or recent events, or entertaining (it is partly to entertain as without it being entertaining it wouldn’t be successful), it is to influence and foster dependence and fear of the madness these people would enact if given the chance.\n\nIt really gives you a lot of coverage, especially for things like accusations of corruption. Cause, what it a little bit of corruption, when the other option, if you vote the corrupt person out of office, is Christmas ending and Christianity being banned and forced hormone therapy for children and 60 months Super late term abortions paid for by your taxes!\n\nWhen you can convince people that you are the less of 2 evils, and the other person is basically the living Antichrist, then people will put up with corruption, and lies.

"There’s a lot of different possibilities, including the fact that maybe this probate judge had her own place, her own house, and the woman and daughter that were here “roommates” were actually just staying with her. Maybe she woman who had the gun pointed at her had recently gone through a divorce, and left her husband and their house together, and was staying with her friends at her house, while she gets back on her feet.\n\nAnd, also, it can be lonely living alone. Especially at the age she is and older. As everyone gets married, and has kids, and lives, and work, making time to get together with friends can he tough, and doesn’t happen as often. So those who don’t have family nearby, or kids of their own, or a partner, and are living alone, could spend their day going to work during the day and then head home afterwards to be alone. Which is all fine and good, and I can easily happily do the solitary thing for long stretches, but it can get lonely at times. Especially like over the weekends, if you don’t have plans or hobbies to occupy big parts of the day. You just may go home after work on Friday, and there’s a chance you are alone, by yourself, in your big house, all the way up to Monday morning for work again.\n\nNow imagine if you have a job where you work remote, from home. If you have a decent supply of groceries, and necessary supplies, you could potentially have a week, or even a couple weeks, where you see interact with no other person, in person.\n\nSo, yeah, it is a big strange, and not the norm, but there are many many reasons where it makes sense. We didn’t even touch on the economics of it. While a probate judge should be making enough for her own place? But she could be saving up money for something. Or experiencing debt she needs to pay down because of divorce/mistakes/medical. Or she could very well be financially great, but her friend is having money issues, which would be very believable for a recently single mom of 1 without a college education. It’s well known the spike in housing prices, and the stagnation of wages, and how hard, if not impossible, to afford a 2 bedroom apartment (needed for a mom and teenage daughter) on a wage that is minimum wage or a couple dollars more than that.\n\nAnd if the mom/daughter is not able to afford their own place, even just for now, and obviously has a relationship with the judge, then maybe the judge says she can move in to the judges big house with a few empty rooms where she lives alone.\n\nSo yeah, many different purely innocent reasons.\n\nAnd lastly, fuck that judge.",

"It's wild how possessions and any amount of money turn friends and family into thugs so quickly. When my dad got sick he made a very basic Will and we all thought that's all we would need. Little did we know that his girlfriend would begin stealing before they came to get his body. He didn't have any money saved so the will was basically sell the house and split the cash equally between us kids and the GF. Vehicles were TOD'd as he saw fit. She started taking furniture and who knows what else when we weren't there.\n\nFast forward two years and grandma gets cancer and grandma has a nice big house and some money. When her husband was alive he set their will to screw over my dads side of the family and give literally everything to his biological daughters side. Grandpa was my dads step dad and had a daughter already when he married grandma. He was always kind with me and my brothers but he abused the absolute shit out of his wife, my dad and his brother, stole over 150k from him in the 80s by convincing him to sell his farm and somehow being the one who got the cash. When grandpa died grandma found out about the will and saw what would happen when she died. She reversed it and had it leave everything to my dad. When he died she changed it again to us kids. No one had any idea she did this until a few weeks before she decided to tell us a few weeks before she died, but she made us swear to not tell the other side of the family and wanted them to find out after. That side of the family was always money hungry but never went out of their way to spend time with her and that hurt her.\n\nWe were is a constant conversation with them in the weeks after her death and it started with \"Let's changed this\" and escalated to \"You changed this, you manipulated her\" to \"Do the right thing\". We were sent letters telling us that we were stealing \"their\" money and they didn't like it when I said it was HER money. She could have left it all to a women's shelter if she wanted to. I never wanted her money, I wanted her. I lost my mom when I was 13 and she became my second mom. Within a month that side of the family gave us an ultimatum. Give them half to fix things if we wanted to stay part of the family. It's nice having holidays with a small group of people now instead of a large manipulative family.",

It’s much less visible on the street and is manifested to the average person as a phantom “tax” on everything by making prices slightly higher overall across entire market categories.\n\nIt’s just a lot more up close and personal when a cop selectively enforces laws based on personal preference, but the costs to society of high level corruption is much greater. \n\nYou could even argue that low level corruption is more “democratic” because anyone can buy Jimbob coffee and donuts every Sunday and get preferential treatment, but if access to higher levels of corrupt advantage at the metro , state, and federal levels is limited to the elites.",

I run $1000 deduct because it’s cheaper and I can comfortably afford the deductible if it comes up, but a lot of people run $500 because it’s only a couple bucks more a month. Doing 3 tires on a $500 deduct doesn’t make sense, they’re only going to cover $100-$200 of the bill and your rates will go up.

Quoting that a GED is more stringent than a diploma and mentioning a personal flex being a personal embarrassment leads me to believe you took their comment as a person who graduated insulting someone who took their GED, when I don't think that was their intention at all.\n\nNote that I'm not weighing in on who is right or wrong here, or trying to take one side or another.

Telling someone to go get a GED before continuing an intellectual debate is not disparaging the credentials of those with GEDs vs High School Diplomas. In this context, it actually establishes a GED as a credible sign of education, if you're using it as a benchmark for participation in said debate. If you interpret that as me defending them, then I may not be being clear enough. I don't believe either of you are correct on this topic and, as in all things, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. \n\nIf you took my statement that you came across as a GED student defending their legitimacy as an insult, then that shows how you feel about GEDs yourself. I did not say that having a GED was bad, I stated that your aggressive defense of them when they weren't even being insulted made it appear as if you had a chip on your shoulder about them. A perfectly understandable response because many people do disparage a GED as a sign of the less intelligent. I am well aware that is untrue. \n\nBut go ahead and continue to insult the intelligence of anyone who disagrees with you, even if they haven't done the same to you. All I did was disagree with you on an interpretation of a statement, and point out your responses had been insulting and childish, but clearly that means I have a developmental disorder, invalidating anything I have to say.",

I never said they were right to do so, or that they weren't insulting you, just that you got defensive on behalf of the GED when it wasn't being insulted. \n\nHowever, dead horse and all that. You seem dead set to take everything as a personal attack, even from someone who hasn't once targeted you personally. The only negative thing I have said about you is the same I said about your argument partner. Your behavior in the thread was childish and insulting. Never have I questioned your intelligence, or insulted you directly. If you took anything I did say as an insult, it was not intended as so.

"There's a series of Mitchell and Webb skits that I call the \"It's all fine, right?\" skits.

Example: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXSRvQlALMA&ab\\_channel=5aruh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXSRvQlALMA&ab_channel=5aruh)\n\nEvery time I hear about this zorbing incident I think of those clips. You can just imagine these guys going to the operator and saying\n\nGuy: \"roll down a slope in a ball, cool cool. It's all fine right, like, you've done testing and stuff, it's all fine?\"\n\nOperator: \"yeah it's all fine\"\n\nGuy: \"so I won't get hurt?\"\n\nOperator: \"Really? That's good!\"\n\nGuy: \"What?\"\n\nOperator: \"Well, I mean, some people get a bit bruised, I imagine, but it's all fine\"\n\nGuy: \"So I just get in the ball?\"\n\nOperator: \"You're really doing it?!

"Thanks for keeping it civil. It is \"weak sauce\". And it does sound shady AF.",
"Such is the practice in Russian courts. You have the right to sue for damages, but you have to prove that those damages cost you the sum you are requesting. So the cases like getting $640,000 from a restaurant for a coffee that was too hot and caused burns are not feasible. Naturally, it's impossible to put a price tag on a life of a person so the things that got compensated in this case are probably the cost for transporting body home and organizing the funeral.",
"Came to post this. Sounded exactly like one of these.",
"I know it gets dragged up as the counter-example a lot, but the McDonalds Coffee incident was horrific.

"Then let's translate that to the US, if my partner would die at Action Park I wouldn't be happy with 30K.",
"In Russia? That's a Tuesday. Men's life expectancy is like 68 years",
"More than that, there had been 700 similar incidents that were just being covered up. McDonald's also contempted the court with lies and withholding evidence.",
"Oh dam, had no idea!",
"Sometimes when you Zorb into the abyss, the abyss Zorbs back into you.",
"So then what’s your point? McDonalds at the time had slightly colder coffee than most places? \n\nCould have just as easily said “coffee’s hot everywhere and burns you”",
"Well what you pointed out to me was new, obviously I can't change my previous comment? I went and watched a video which was more informative at the case, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCkL9UlmCOE&t=220s \n\nFeel free to give that a watch",

"Yeah, but how much is that in ass pennies? And much time would it take to process them?",
"Rodgers isn't making a distinction between brewing, storing and serving.\n\nBrewing - 180 to 190\nStoring - 180ish\nServing - 175 is\n\nMcDonald's was storing and serving coffee between 190 - 205"

"Can confirm. As far as my knowledge goes all Russian circus performers, ballet dancers, gymnasts retire at the age of 35. They do get compensated very well for that kind of lifestyle, they get to see the whole world, be in the pic physical condition and live one of the most exciting lives imaginable. Also good money, brand deals etc. \nRegarding the state of their joints they can ignore it till they old if they keep their muscle carcass in shape. My ex was a Europe medalist gymnast and her spine was already super fucked up at the age of 21, she had to train every single day otherwise it would collapse on her cause the only thing supporting it was her muscles.",
"Yeah, all of their shows in Vegas are incredible",
"the more closely i look at it, the more i realize that a lot of this was actually a lot safer than it looks, even the chair at the end had support wires on the top, as well as each pole being supported by a harness on the performers. also you can see each performer is using a cue to prepare for their jump. lots of little details but amazing overall."

"We have this in the UK too. Many people brush against it and only find out the problem when exposed to the sun.",
"Genesis has warned us of the Hogweed for quite some time: \n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSkgwCpuZwk",
"It is a problem in the whole of northern hemisphere.\n\nIts close relative Sosnowski's hogweed was cultivated in Stalins Russia. They wanted to use it as feed for cattle ~~but the milk was apparently horrible tasting~~ (edit: didn't find a citation for this), and no human can really handle it without protective gear.. but it grows real fast. Causes the same symptoms. Hogweeds can sprout from roots and its seeds can survive for years so it is extremely hard to get rid off once it takes hold. Quite insane plan to use a toxic plant in any kind of role in agriculture.\n\nHere, in Finland you have to report all sightings of both to the authorities, specially the Giant Hogweed as it is magnificent and attracts attention very easily.. and thus we get more people injured.",

"Joseph was a great innovator. Too bad none of his innovations weren't.",
"considering the reaction comes from the secreted oils of the plant and is similar to poison ivy, I though I'd share the definitive guide to removing it from your skin in case you get it on you:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyoDRHpQK0",
"That's amazing! I had the Genesis Live version as a kid (mixed & sung much better than the original it seems, IMHO):\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6lBom-k2-k\n\nI thought it was science fiction!",
"So, basically everyone is ok",
"Adam begat Cain who was agrarian",
"Hogweed here in North Vancouver gets huge signs around it at the city/district itself has special crews to come and remove it. Landscapers here have been advised to not risk it. Hogweed is no joke.",
"They should call it Vampire weed.",
"So what your saying gamers are immune since they never go outside or expose themselves to sunlight?",
"In the Netherlands it's mostly removed when possible, except around the rain tracks, nice natural barrier to stop people from going on the tracks.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThese things can grow HUGE. Like the size of a small tree, very scary.",
"Hogweed probably couldn't grow in the SE US. The kudzu would smother it.",
"I don't live in Canada, so I don't care",
"Did you know you can eat kudzu?",
"This appears to be a correct scenario.",
"Giant hogweed is just relentless. It grown incredibly quick. And because the leafs are so big it deprives everything else from sunlight. Nothing can compete with it.\n\nIn the summer they mow it several times but within two days you can see it sprouting back up.\n\nOne time I was dog walking with a long leash near a spot with hogweed. Some stuff must have gotten onto the leash because I got two blisters on the back of my hand exactly where I wrap the leash around my hand. The weird thing is this happened two day later. I washed my hands plenty of times between that.\nI walked through the stuff and got sap on me plenty of times, but I only got blisters maybe three times (I do wear long sleeves and pants). It's like sometimes that sap is harmless. Sheep eat it (only after all the tall grass has been eaten) and they don't seem to get burns either.\n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/jCxBJaY.jpg This is how it looks now. It dies back when it gets colder, but it will be back next summer.",
"You can eat Giant hogweed.",
"I use to get poison Ivy every year bad. Now I might get a small dot of it every once in awhile even though I was all up in it. No better feeling than blasting a poison Ivy rash with hot water in the shower though.",
"You're not talking right across either bridges to North Van are you? How far north till I have to be scared?"

"2 dollars? 1lb of ground beef is 3.95usd in the USA.",
"$2 spaghetti \n\n*per serving\n**will also require you to already have purchased about $30-$35 worth of ingredients.",
"insufferable he's become.",
"For funsies I tried to compare this to pre-prepared stuff at Walmart:\n\n* 1lb Spaghetti: $0.59*\n* 1x 24oz spaghetti sauce: $0.88\n* ~20 frozen meatballs: $1.39**\n\nTotal of $2.86 for the whole shebang. \nPer the video, this would be ~5 servings, so that's ~$0.57 per serving.\n\nSome parm will set you back another $0.50 - $1.00 depending on block vs pre grated.\n\nDisclaimers: \n\\* 1/4 of 4lb bulk pack \n\\** 1/8 of bulk sized bag of frozen meatballs. \nI realize this will be nowhere near as delicious! I was just curious, and shared my results.",
"Yeah, it's per serving. He uses a price of $3.19/lb in the video, and he makes 5 servings.",
"Interesting breakdown! Good info!"
