"They look so much more clumsy than I thought they would while taking off! It's awesome to see their beauty up close and in high definition, great music choice + commentary too.",
"Was my first thought too. Was kinda laughing at the first moth, dude really benefitted from ground effect, probably could have used it a bit longer. They look so fucking soft too, shame they're so small. Imagine petting a moth the size of a large rodent or something with all that fuzz.",
"Q. Do you know why moths fly with their legs apart?\n\n​\n\nA. Have you seen the size of mothballs!",
"They're so beautiful! And so FLUFFY"

"Fuck I forgot he was Fenton! I only remember him from Reno 911 before Community.",
"the honda episode is so brilliant. i can't tell if honda actually paid them to do it, or if they're actually making fun of ad placements in tv shows.... hahahahaha.",
"Oh man! I was cracking up from start to finish. How had I never heard of this before?",
"It was very short-lived",
"Honda probably did want to do a sponsorship, but then they decided to Wayne's World it and tongue-in-cheek the sponsorship.",
"Same! I wanna see what other messages he has xD",
"Oof",
"I feel like winning an Oscar is proper recognition.",
"Yahoo has a streaming app now?",
"Yeah, I actually really enjoyed a lot of the Subway and Honda stuff too. They worked it into the show in a way that didn't feel forced somehow. Love when Abed gives up the fist bump for \"eat fresh\" when no one else will. The way he does it makes me laugh for some reason.",
"Honda definitely paid to get featured in the episode. Subway did this a few times too.",
"Yeah, I remembered, always be grateful to them for giving us season 6. Poor bastards paid the ultimate price for us.\n\nEdit: I actually made a Twitter account just to help save the show, so you guys are all welcome, because it clearly worked. I had 47 followers, so I was kind of a big deal.",
"Not now, no.",
"I’ve never watched community but that was pretty great!",
"Without Honda Yahoo wasn't able to afford the show from what I understood. When it \"aired\" every episode had a pre and post ad for Honda. Season 6 was a Yahoo series sponsored by Honda.",
"It was for writing tho - I think he is underappreciated as a comic actor.",
"yeah, I think this car brand is much more popular in Europe, although it's weird you didn't even hear about it",
"Oh cool. I didn't realize it was him in either of these!",
"I also enjoyed the Subway product placement in Chuck. They went over-the-top, \"is this real or satire\" with it as well.",
"Abed is usually incredibly sweet, but this scene shows that he can be a real dick sometimes. Sometimes it's hard not to be a dick. Especially to the Dean.",
"It existed just long enough to give us a 6th season and then died an extremely predictable death. I mean seriously, a Yahoo streaming service? That was just doomed to fail.",
"Right, but buying a show after 6 years and continuing its production doesn't really qualify as a \"Yahoo Original\"",
"They went under after picking it up because they absolutely didn't have the money for it - and all for the definitively worst season of that show.",
"Original just means \"produced exclusively for\" in this context. It's like how Black Mirror and Trailer Park Boys are \"Netflix Originals\" but started on another TV network.",
"Sweet? How about Evil Abed? Always lurking, always ready to destroy.",
"I expected it to be funny but it was even better than I imagined.\nJim Rash is a national treasure, the episode where they film a new commercial is one of the best and he kills it. Best actor on the show.",
"More like his character in Mythic Quest. I love it.",
"subway agreed to be the villain for a season",
"Check out \"The way, way back\"",
"I recently binged watch community",
"I didn't (never watched the show)",
"Advertisements are obnoxious no matter what, but if you make it obnoxious in a funny way, it comes across better.\n\nI don't know if the Hawaii 5-0 writers are actually talentless hacks, but these [ham fisted ads](https://youtu.be/xqWpJKzVRN0) surely suggest the possibility.",
"That scene between Frankie and The Dean is one of my favorite from the whole series.",
"“So stupid” makes me giggle every time",
"*Hard* disagree. Season six was up and down but had some of the best moments in the series. Season four is the worst by far. I didn't know that Harmon had been removed, so I wondered why the writing had declined so drastically.",
"I’ll never forget my first time seeing the pay day rap. I was somehow simultaneously stunned and laughing like a maniac. His whole presence on community was brilliant and he seems like such a genuinely nice person too",
"Fire the marketing team doling out the \"helpful Honda person\" algorithmic performances of philanthropy in contained settings to paid actors. This actually makes me want a Honda.",
"Even the Honda episode was great, but I think it was the Dean who *really* sold it and made it as good as it was.",
"Honda. What the hell are we doing?",
"> Sometimes it's hard not to be a dick. Especially to the Dean.\n\nHe loves it tho",
"If you liked that, you'll LOVE the actual show.",
"I remember watching Community and Abed \"randomly\" was wearing a T-shirt of a game I worked on. For a second I was excited that Pudi might be a fan but then I remembered how TV (and game publishing) works. For a second I shared a nice \"meta\" moment with Abed, though.",
"A couple of things here. Abed is on such a different wavelength than everyone else that, from his perspective, he is neither being a dick nor being sweet. He is simply being who he is, which is someone that is completely unable to read social cues and whose interests are, well, out there. I have no idea why you think it would be so easy to be a dick to the dean, he would be exasperating yes, but his quirky enthusiasm should not invite cruelty.",
"You should watch community. The two characters in the commercial are fantastic, but neither are my favorite character on the show. Watch it, find your own favorite character, maybe it will be Abed or the Dean, maybe someone else, but if you liked the commercial you will love the show.",
"Netflix sticks \"Netflix Original\" on things it buys from other countries too, even when Netflix had nothing to do with the production. \"Exclusive\" would be a less misleading term.",
"Outside the US, you can watch decidedly-not-Netflix-original TV series like *Riverdale*.",
"You can watch Riverdale on Netflix in the US.",
"The background music reminds me of Life is Strange.",
"Had",
"Great show. This clip is a small taste, Troy and Abed in the Moooorning is worth it alone. Take a gander and try to listen to the Dean's full script. Some of his best lines are mumbled under his breath.",
"One of the best scenes ever ever\n\nhttps://youtu.be/PngPQluO1jI",
"The damn Dean rap lol\n\nhttps://youtu.be/qvzE64A28NI\n\nAlmost better live\n\nhttps://youtu.be/qezfFx9kT38",
"...the Honda Civic is one of the highest-selling sedans of all time in the US.",
"It's on Hulu if you wanna watch it cause I don't think yahoo screen is a thing any more",
"That has nothing to do with what they're saying. They're saying Netflix slaps Netflix original on anything even when it isnt. \nRiverdale is CW but international it says Netflix original, but it isn't",
"i thought this was hilarious",
"Yeah nobody knows about Honda in the states... Just make some of the best selling cars, motorcycles, outboards, and small engine equipment.",
"Yes, this was what I was trying to say.",
"K.",
"I just got a civic and my favourite food place is subway... WTF",
"I looked at the title and spent waaaaay too long wondering who tf Dean Pelton was. \"I don't recall there being anyone called Dean in the show? Is that the actors name?\"",
"Honda definitely paid them. Just like Subway did.",
"It's on Hulu, Netflix and Amazon but only Amazon has the first D&D episode.",
"Say what?! I knew it was on prime but didn't know they didn't pull the D&D episode! Holy shit you made my day.",
"I think this was part of the episode about astroturfing.",
"To all the people giving downvotes, his joke refers to op’s statement of “not knowing this existed”.",
"Same here. Trying to figure out how I’ve never seen this.",
"I almost laughed to the point of throwing up when I saw that for the first time. I had to watch it again because I didn't catch all of it the first time, it's so good",
"I was with you up until “Grindalle”",
"/r/woosh",
"Wait what, why was the D&D episode pulled to begin with?\n\n\n:edit: Ah, Google says it was the blackface. Probably should have realized.",
"uhhh at least somebody",
"He is also an Oscar nominated screenwriter",
"to be fair, the joke would've probably communicated better if he said Japan, as it's a Japan brand.",
"This would've been a great scene in the show even if it was with Jeff, or someone else.",
"Check out Gillian Jacob’s reaction at the very end. She’s *just* about to crack before they cut away.",
"yeah, but the joke relies on public communication and we know how bad is the state of it in the state",
"Engage the highly response breaks!",
"god I love this show",
"He's so great on Mike Tyson mysteries.",
"Shoutout to Joel McHale for recording horizontal like a civilized person.",
"More like \"blackface\". It just kinda got included when that was all the buzz and lots of other episodes from others shows were pulled. But it didn't really make sense",
"Can maybe you or someone explain further for me please?",
"You just contradicted yourself in your own comment",
"Never gets old. Never.",
"“Bing it”… words that have been uttered by literally no one ever",
"That may have been incredibly clever on your part…",
"Oscar *winning* screenwriter.",
"They all did that shit though. Bones shilled endlessly for Toyota for the entire second half of the series.",
"yahoo was only involved for season 6 so it was probably roll up marketing for the last season.",
"Sure, I’ll bite lol. \n\nOP stated that they “never knew this existed” talking about the commercial itself. \nMichchaal played dumb and pretended that the thing OP “never knew existed” was in fact Honda as a whole and not simply the commercial. \n\nWhen I originally saw this Michcaal had a -25 on his joke. A few people completely missed the fact that is was a joke and seemingly became offended that someone may have possibly thought that they didn’t know what Honda was. \nIf you genuinely wanted a further explanation, there it is. If you were joking and baiting me into an unnecessary explanation, you got me lol.",
"Holy shit, I thought the Bones car product placement was bad",
"Their best sponsored episode was the kfc episode for sure.",
"And kfc",
"Thanks. I couldn’t remember if he won or not",
">his quirky enthusiasm should not invite cruelty\n\nYet it would",
"Not a dick. Real. Abed doesn't kiss ass, or react spitefully. Even sarcasm is an effort for Abed. He's the realest, most honest character put forth by show biz.",
"Happy cake day",
"“We hate each other… do you not know that?”",
"I think Britta was about to break character near the end.",
"hahaha yeah, she accidentally looked into the camera",
"It's just the darn cutest look out of her right there. Glad they kept it.",
"I wish I could go back to not having watched Community just so I could experience it for the first time. It's amazing. You have to watch it.",
"Abed takes breaking the 4th wall to a beyond quantum level.",
"How so?",
"Welcome to Yahoo screen! Sorry it’s hard to watch this when it releases, but look how quickly our ads load!",
"I have not laughed this hard in a while!\n\nI'm so glad op posted since I've never seen it either",
"Life is a South Park episode.\n\nWho is making all these decisions and for who? I feel like they are \"protecting\" a made up group of people, or some extreme nutjob cases that nobody should listen to.",
"Agreed.\n\nIt can also work if it’s subtle and fits with the already established setting and characters. For example, Coors has product placement in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but it fits perfectly because they own/work in a bar. I think the name Coors is only mentioned once in the series, and [it’s only because it makes the joke](https://youtu.be/d423_cD1XMQ).",
"It’s a shame it was pulled, because the main plot of the episode revolves around bullying and depression and does so in a meaningful way. It’s also a really funny episode.\n\nChang painting himself black to be more accurate to the elf character and it is pointed out as inappropriate several times by other characters. It’s similar to Robert Downey Jr. portraying a black character in Tropic Thunder. Both characters were doing it to be “more authentic”, and both characters were chastised by other characters for doing so regardless of the intent.\n\nI’m not sure if making this specific thing completely off-limits is productive. So much of conflict in comedy is based on a character doing something wrong and another character confronting them about it, and this gives the audience the opportunity to reflect and discuss the situation.",
"Yeah I re watched it and the episode was more powerful than I remember. They could edit out changs character in that episode so easily too. He's the first one out and is only on screen for not even a minute total. Very few characters even acknowledge or talk to him. So I think they should at least do that, but then yeah you miss out on what topics the show can tackle, like you were saying in your last paragraph",
"Pfft. Stephen chow was doing it [way back in 1999 in King of Comedy](https://youtu.be/B1MAUxpKaV8?t=5132). Although I guess that's the only film he did it in.",
"Oh my God the live rap, now I love him even more. Thank you for this! \nDefinitely one of the best scenes of the show, as well!",
"We’re gonna get that movie!",
"[So stupid](https://youtu.be/PngPQluO1jI)",
"It does have to do with what they are saying. It might have nothing to do with what they meant.",
"No. It really has nothing to do with what they're saying. They aren't asking where they can watch Riverdale",
"u/VoiceofKane never even asked a question. I understand that they didn't mean what they said, but they did say what they said. How about you not worry about defending someone other than you I replied to? I'm certain that they are quite capable.",
"But they did mean what they said.. You just don't understand what they said and then said something totally irrelevant",
"I don't feel like educating you at the moment. Do you have any experience in formal logic? If so, put your argument in at least standard form and I will respond. If not, you can either do some reading or wait until I feel like helping you understand.",
"Wtf are you even saying now?",
"Bunch of shows do that kinda stuff. 30 rock has a few. There's one where Liz says something like I'm switching to Verizon, the fastest best network in the country. Then looks at the camera and says can we have our money now?",
"How am I just discovering more Community content?",
"Where's Troy!?!?! But still one of the best commercials that I've seen in a while...",
"“If you get this wrong, I’m segregating the school.”",
"This wasn't from the show. It's an ad.",
"I had to pause because I laughed so hard after he said that.",
"Discovering a piece of Community I've never seen before. It's like Christmas, but in a car commercial! :)"

"Could you please tell me why it takes a long time? To my ignorant eye, you would just delete the original audio and add some natural sounds, seems pretty easy to me (but I have exactly zero knowledge of sound editing, so I don't mean this question in a demeaning way).",
"No offense taken!\n\nThe thing that takes the most time is finding those natural sounds. They have to roughly match the texture and movement of the things happening on screen.\n\nFor instance, if you search for 'footstep sound effect' you get everything from 'high heels clacking on hardwood floor' to 'hiking boots on snow' and everything inbetween. Finding sounds that could pass as barefoot on sand/gravel takes a while. \n\nBut the work is not done there. Our ears can pick up a remarkably big amount of detail. The dancers are moving in sync, so we notice when the footsteps are not. And it gets even trickier: you cannot use the same sound effect for too many different footsteps, because we as listeners can tell when a certain sound effect is being reused frequently (it starts to sound unnatural). \n\nSo I had to chop up roughly 20 individual footstep sounds, layer them so it sounds like a group and place them to points in the video where it corresponds to the motion. After that it's a lot of messing with volumes and adding basic effects to make more realistic (things like reverb or equalizers).\n\nSo while some things like the lions roar were easy, footsteps and human motion are just a pain in the ass to synchronize. It's a fun process though!"

"This kind of shopping road is called a *shotengai*, named after the kind of trade association that tends to develop them, from ancient times. A group of merchants at intersecting roads would band together, collectively manage the road cleaning and fire control, eventually stringing fabric shades across the road for the comfort of shoppers and protecting the wares. These became canopies as buildings became more modern, able to withstand all weather instead of being stowed for stormy winds.",
"For regular people yes, but for trademen it's probably more about being able to drive their cars in to wherever they're called to. Some streets really are super narrow, and there's no guarantee of parking spots, and parking in front of a customer's house might only be possible if you have one of the tiny vans or trucks.\n\nEvery time I've had to call a plumber/electrician/locksmith they've been in tiny vans/trucks and they park outside my home, which is a street that's just wide enough that they can park and another car can squeeze by."

"Watch for waspes. Its hot today, so drink plenty of water.",
"I wish he wouldn't film himself while driving. \nThere's a time and a place for that, and behind the wheel is not one of them.",
"Saw this [murder hornet nest removal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29bgJqpao6g&ab_channel=HornetsRemoval) the other day. Fascinating stuff, can only imagine what he's saying in japanese.\n\nedit: chinese",
"looked a LOT like wild bees and not at all like yellowjackets \\*(I've seen)",
"What kind of house is this? It has empty walls with out insulation, not only that but the area he cut into in the beginning is like canvas, the knife slides right through and the paint over the patch has been blended to match. Something is fishy here.",
"Those looked like yellow jackets to me, and that Def wasn't honeycomb he was taking out of the wall...",
"i thought it was cause the wasps chewed through the drywall or something when they made their nest or something. what i'm curious is why he dusted them after he cut the hole in the wall.",
"I didnt say honeybees. \n\ntheir abdomens were too long for yellow jackets, and yellow jackets arent fuzzy. Also zero bright yellow.",
"Yeah, [it looks like they actually can](https://happyhomequest.com/wasps-eat-through-drywall/)! With that said, I am not sure if they would do something like what we see here and completely strip it from the inside of the wall leaving the paint untouched. It is shocking to see what they are capable of getting through though so it is entirely possible.",
"This is definitely a bad trend, I think people go out of their way to do it to look \"down to earth\" or something on their Youtube Videos.",
"well i did notice later in the video you can see insulation and drywall in other areas. maybe the guy is just lucky and they haven't busted through the paint yet.",
"Hi",
"Plenty of houses without insulation depending on age, climate, and how thoroughly they've been remodeled.\n\nI wouldn't be at all surprised if my house (70 years old, Califoria) lacked insulation, though I haven't had a reason to open up any of the exterior walls yet.",
"My guess is either the wasps ate the insulation/used it in the nest or they selected that spot because there was no insulation there filling the void thus meaning it was a more perfect fit for them. An aside you can see insulation later in the video in the other area he opens so it's not like the house doesn't have it rather the bees just choose to be where it isn't.",
"That first bottle is pretty genius.",
"Chinese*",
"God that noise is... Chilling",
"I would be so afraid of those first 7-8 wasps that got out before he started vaccuuming coming back and stinging me when I got back to my house",
"And why the fuck wouldn’t he start vacuuming from the beginning….. not the brightest maybe. And yeah the video blog while driving screams numnuts",
"My only questions are ...\n\nWhat about the hole outside?\n\nWhat about the two new holes inside?",
"Why were there so many Queens?",
"Did I see it right that there are grey and yellow wasps? Is that common?",
"That's what I thought too.",
"They grey ones have the pesticide dust on them.",
"I'd worry about getting a hole in that suit and it filling up with hornets.",
"After watching this I binged a dozen more videos. In one of them a British cameraman is getting a briefing and he's told to be careful of the visor, because that's how they crawl in sometimes.",
"They go start new nests at a certain time of the year",
"Also, pretty cool how he attaches a streamer to a hornet to find the nest.",
"Usually I get this right, I may have confused this video with another. After seeing this I went down a rabbithole and watched a few more hours of them.",
"Ohhhh",
"I can't believe he took that suit off while still on site, sitting right next to the nest. I mean, yeah, it looks clean, but what about slow Bob, who likes to take his time getting back to the nest? What if his fat stinger shows up?\n\nNah. Suit's not off until I'm way off site.",
"You bing?",
"He has a ton of great wasp removal videos. Yeah he’s not the best exterminator, but I really like his personality and his removals are far more entertaining than others.",

"holy fuck i never realized how huge they were!",
"Its crazy, In another video, you can see him putting a tracking streamer on one with his bare hands, no suit. Just grabs hornet and slips a little thread noose over its abdomen.",
"Waspes are definitely the J’s of the animal kingdom",
"That’s fair. Can’t expect a lot out of dale gribble",
"Hey 👖",
"One day my niece was walking down our front sidewalk and suddenly just loses her shit, screaming, crying, etc.; She had 3 or 4 wasp bites on her. After some investigation we find out there is a wasp nest under one of the sidewalk tiles. Every time you stepped on the tile the corner would dig into the wasp nest and hell would break loose.\n\nMy brother an I sit down and discuss the options:\n\n1. Get a professional - fuck that, we aren't paying for that shit. \n2. Burn it with fire - good plan, but it's the fall season so that can get out of control pretty quickly. \n3. Leave it and avoid it, because it would provide endless entertainment - delivery people, family members, mailmen - it would be *top notch* fail army (though this was before all that \"fail\" stuff on the internet otherwise we would have absolutely bought a door bell camera and done this)\n\nOption 4: With no protection, *I* will lift up the sidewalk tile, my brother will stand by with a hose, and I will take a rake to the nest and it's game over for the wasps right?\n\nFirst part of the plan goes well. I lift up the tile... a couple of wasps fly out. I slam the rake down, give it one or two drags... uh, maybe 15, 20 wasps flying around; my brother sprays them down with the hose... all good.\n\nThen I hit the heart of the nest and 100s, 1000s, possibly millions of those bastards fly out - and they were really, REALLY, pissed off. Then, it was just absolute chaos. I start swinging the rake around to fend them off, my brother is a considerable way back, so he decides that he wants no part of this shit, drops the hose and runs away (thanks brother for doing me a solid). 5 mins later, after multiple stings I get back in the house and all I hear is fucking laughing. Uncontrollable, on the floor, laughing. Both my brothers laughing at me.\n\nPro tip: get a professional.",
"I'd go home, put the house up for sale, and then take the suit off after I moved in to the next place.",
"Vacuumed out a nest in a light fixture once and I was shocked how well it worked and how satisfying it was.",
"Oh god, this totally happened to me. Except it wasn’t just a random piece of wall, the bees literally crawled out of my bathroom lights and appliances. Literally bees crawling out of lights and walls. I killed so many bees that day. So many bees.",
"Looks like a sideways bottle of lotion.",
"Pro Tip: Wait for evening and wasps to snooze, shoot some lighter fluid in the hole, light it, wait with hose, after nest and wasps turn into ash, spray water into hole. *You never lift the slab and rake the nest.*",
"My suggestion for the guy is to spend a bit more time editing the audio - to pull down the volume while the vacuum is running and put it back to normal while he's talking",
"see: option 2",
"Not his job",
"He should probably attach a big funnel to the end of the vacuum and place the funnel on the hole so he doesn't have to stand there and vacuum every single one, maybe even attach it to the wall so he can just go away for abit",
"The video is reversed. What you're watching is actually the installation of the newest eco-friendly home insulation technology where you blow lives wasps into your walls to fill the voids. The wasp nests serve as baffles to stop air flow much like traditional insulation and the body heat of the mass of live wasps actually heats the pockets of air trapped between them. It's completely natural and free of harmful chemicals and dangerous fine particles. The only downside is that the walls of your home are literally stuffed with live wasps."

"Yeah I bet that tastes exactly the same…",
"\"Slice it and you get crispy vegan bacon\".\n\nNo, you get mushroom.",
"A step in the right direction",
"Yeah, that comment kind of bugged me too. A mushroom is a much more complex life form.",
"Long overdue.",
"you can't turn mushrooms into bacon",
"So, what you're saying is, I can get my next phone packed in hickory flavored styrofoam, and packed in a box with potato starch peanuts. We're getting dangerously close to a complete meal.",
"Who cares, as long as it tastes good?",
"Meat will probably become too expensive to buy in your lifetime.",
"I’m on the packing material fence.",
"That is some seriously over cooked bacon!",
"You mean its more complex than a pig?",
"Well eating processed red meat isn't good for you so the lack of nitrates alone is worth it regardless if it has lower calories or fat content overall\n\nBut also yes saturated fat = bad cholesterol and is definitely bad for you lol\n\nMisinformation around fats was when people were thought low fat diets were the solution to weight loss when it's just the overall calories in versus calories out that really matters",
"Every pepsi and cola person on the planet.",
"Ye better enjoy it while we can",
"Eh I doubt it really does taste perfect but I'd still eat it\n\nLove my occasional full Irish breakfasts with rashers, sausages etc but have started to eat vegetarian pudding which has actually been fairly good",
"Or prepare yourself for some changes",
"Fair enough, didn't realise the link between saturated fats and LDL was starting to be actually disputed.\n\nMost of the studies say to replace saturated fats with polyunsaturated instead of calories\n\nSo while it's debatable if there's a link, still definitely better off eating mushroom than bacon",
"Vegan/Vegetarian meat doesn't taste the same, but it does taste good. When I cook at home I prefer to get vegan burgers because the meat at the supermarket is pretty crappy. They taste really good and are often a bit cheaper than the regular beef burger patties.",
"Is this like Quorn? My vegetarian roomy used to eat it alot years ago, and honestly it didn't taste bad at all.",
"Blue Apron's gonna go out of business.",
"the people who want actual bacon...",
"why \"or\"? and how do i prepare myself?\n\ni eat meat right now and feel fully prepared to not eat meat, since it doesnt require any preparation lmao",
"Yes",
"The amount of hate here is so weird. I love meat, but I'm excited by the more sustainable and healthier options coming to market. Vegan diets are undoubtedly better for you, and better for the planet, but vegan foods have to taste as good or better than meat before I or many others will eat them with any regularity. I just love meat, though I've noticed that now that I eat more well cooked veggies I'm eating less meat.",
"More complex than a pinto bean. I mean, it’s a complex, an organization. Stretching to call it vegan. I don’t as an omnivore.",
"That’s a slippery slope to cannibalism thinking.",
"Try it for a week",
"How close does it have to be to real bacon to justify everything that goes into producing real bacon.\n\nI'm not vegan, not even vegetarian but I don't understand this refusal to acknowledge vegan substitutes.\n\nVegan bacon, a mushroom based subsitiute that mimics much of the flavour, texture and nutritional content of bacon.\n\nNAH IT'S MUSHROOM DON'T CALL IT BACON.",
"i have... not hard at all, tbh not even a conscious decision i just dont eat meat some weeks.\n\ndont understand why people need to religiously decide on a strict diet, even if im trying to cut back on something, i dont get why i have to vow not to ever touch it again",
"Cannibals are people who ate ass once and kept going.",
"Sounds like the beginning of an Orbits chewing gum commercial.",
"If you could have a tasty bacon alternative that doesn't exploit the planet and its resources, why would you care?",
"The problem with marketing alternatives, is to not market them as meat alternatives or bacon substitute because everyone who tries the product with a set flavour in mind of what to expect.\n\nVegan, plant based food, mushroom strips.",
"> Vegan diets are undoubtedly better for you\n\nwrong",
"Lol, why? because the government will restrict it?",
"Yeah not necessarily. The diet is so open ended you could be super healthy or very unhealthy. Although I firmly believe the healthiest of vegan diets are healthier than the healthiest omnivore diet.",
"Problem is that many people won't try it if you call it something unfamiliar. I would totally eat bacon flavoured mushroom strips, but I would probably not look at them in the first place with that name. \n\nI think the styrofoam packing alternative may be pretty great. I hate getting a big box with styrofoam. It is a pain to throw out and being able to just chuck it into my compost pile would be amazing.",
"That is the funny thing with meat substitutes. I like veggie burgers, but not when they are trying to be meat. There are many good food which fill the role of meat (protein with that dense chewing feeling), but they are not meat and don't try to be. I have hopes for lab grown meat, but having other options is good too. I think very few people would be upset with even more food options.",
"If being a \"complex\" or an \"organization\" disqualifies something from being vegan then vegans are gonna run out of edible options pretty fast.",
"or they will shift what they ship",
"They'll just ship the entrees. The box is your appetizer now!",
"Eating meat with every meal is a marketing-fueled modern invention. \"Beef, it's whats for dinner\" has convinced an entire generation that this is healthy and normal and they will get extremely defensive when told otherwise. Not even a vegetarian myself, but the insane reaction to reducing meat consumption is definitely pushing me that direction.",
"Wait hold up it takes a week to make a set of that packaging?\n\nI thought they would have a big batch of mushroom that they'd harvest and compress into a few molds, but instead they're growing the packaging directly into the molds over a week? That doesn't sound very scalable at all.\n\nAnd I wonder how much of that packaging is still made of wood chips. Like if you just glue wood chips together do you get similar properties?",
"I agree but on the other side are people who assert that \"a vegan diet is undeniably healthier\". They are flip sides of the same bad coin.",
"Only if you buy it within 30 days of it leaving the factory in China. If you buy it after then you get your next phone packed in some goopy compost!\n\nEDIT: I don't actually know what happens after the 30 days and hope that this isn't an actual issue that would stop this from becoming more popular. But they would need the product to last longer for it to become more useful.",
"“We can’t comment on the flavour. But the mybacon is definitely healthier than traditional bacon.”\nOk. So is sawdust.",
"Ain’t called “long pig” for no reason!",
"It tastes phenomenal, “by chloe” in nyc uses it.",
"Most foods are healthy in moderation. An awful lot of Americans don't properly moderate their fat consumption.",
"And fund subsidies for green solutions.",
"It seems like a good idea, but:\n* Packaging takes a week to grow\n* Begins to degrade in just 30 days\n\nThis leaves a very small window for product to be packaged and shipped to the final destination. It would not be feasible in any shipping (as in container ship) solutions and would only be viable for airfreight, truck, train. It also means that it would not be suitable for bricks & mortar locations. It would need to either:\n* Delivered direct from manufacturer to end user, or\n* Be used as supplementary packaging for retail stores along side traditional styrofoam packaging (think one big carton with this and a handful of small inner cartons each having little to no packaging requirement)\n\nIs the mushroom still alive? Is there a risk for pests to feed off of it, therefore shipping pest species around the world?\n\nWhat are the quarantine requirements for the material around the world? Is it able to even be shipped to every country?",
"They just start sending sauce which soaks into the packaging by the time it arrives to you.",
">instead they're growing the packaging directly into the molds over a week? That doesn't sound very scalable at all.\n\nI mean you could have like 3 sets of different molds and just be continually growing those sets.",
"Yeh. Obviously this is just a marketing video but this company seems to genuinely be trying to make the world a better place.",
"Sure but that sounds very slow, your throughput would be directly correlated to how many molds you have. And each mold takes up warehouse space, so you'd need racks and racks of molds in some temperature controlled environment and all the workers to move and manage that.\n\nThat's opposed to using a single mold and just pressing into it the fungus over and over in a machine that can pump out a thousand a day.\n\nBut then I got to ask, if you're going to do that why use fungus at all, recycled paper products already can do what this fungus does.",
"It's cool. I hate mushrooms for various reasons but I have to admit it's cool. \n\nI don't think I heard directly, but it says it decomposes in 30 days. Does that mean there is no shelf life? Or does it decompose after it's opened somehow?",
"Packaging like that is shelf stable. the mushroom is usually flash frozen and effectively dead. The thirty days refers to it in a landfill environment were the inactive spores would be exposed to rain and other bacteria which would get work breaking it down.",
"Next you'll tell us that peanut butter should be made with milk!",
"\"We can't confirm the flavor (of the fake bacon)\". Thanks guys, really useful info there.",
"The vegans eat leather lol",
"Bringo.",
"If the alternative tastes the same then I agree with you. All alternatives I tried so far (a lot) could never match the real taste/feeling of real meat. If they catch up I would definitely change over to non-meat products.",
"You're right that it isn't bacon. It's vegan bacon. It has an adjective on the front that tells you it's not the real thing. They use the word bacon because it's intentionally trying to imitate bacon and makes it easy for people with vegan diets to know this is something they can use in place of bacon.\n\nIts the same as calling it imitation bacon or fake bacon. I don't understand why you can't have a modifier in front a word and use it, like soy milk.",
"I am not a bleeding heart tree hugger... but even I can see that single use plastics and styrofoams are killing the planet. I would not be against any gov't telling companies that plastic packaging and styrofoams will be (largely) banned in 10 years so they better invest in alternatives like this and figure it out.\n\nI can see plastics may be needed still for some specific uses (certain chemicals or food preservation on the shelf to some extent) but this can be replaced with Glass to large extent to greatly reduce their use.",
"More complex than a pinto bean? Why pinto beans? This comment is so stupid I don't even know where to begin man. Mushrooms are fungi not animals and aren't sentient so there is no stretching here.",
">The average person still uses 75 foam coffee cups per year\n\nWhat? Where can you even still get coffee in a styrofoam cup?",
"They said vegan bacon. Vegan bacon is a type of plant-based food that attempts to imitate the taste and texture of bacon. Having a definition doesn't mean shit.",
"So who cares what processes foods go through I guess just name them what they are made out of. It's not bacon, it's Pig! French fries? What is that? It's clearly just potatoes.\n\nThis bullshit name policing of vegan products is so fucking stupid. If you don't like it, don't buy it. It being named after the food it's trying to imitate effects you in absolutely no fucking way.",
"Then buy actual bacon dumb fuck.",
"...They aren't. This shit doesn't even taste like styrofoam.",
"I'm not a vegan, but I have been minimizing my meat consumption using veggie based alternatives. Some of my favorites are cashew ice cream, impossible/beyond burgers, certain vegan cheeses aren't bad, and Rebbl chocolate \"milk\". I get thinking vegans are douchebags, or people that eat excessive meat are douchebags, but in all honesty the vegan stuff is good for the planet. Why not try some of it for yourself and find out.",
"You can turn anything into bacon, if you can get a pig to eat it.",
"I don't think anyones a douchebag; just don't say vegan diets are \"undoubtable better for you\". I know what bean burgers and soy products taste like... not switching over for some negligible difference to environment.",
"Some vegans eat very unhealthy and are overweight. I've known a vegan person who didn't even like vegetables and just are a ton of carbs",
"You are right, but you can't grow recycled paper, more advancements will come as this field develops that will make it more and more viable as a manufacturing process just like everything that came before it.",
"But that is one mold, so you would be waiting a week for a single piece of packaging. In that same time your box company has produced thousands of boxes with a single machine.",
"Vegan diets are known to be low in B vitamins, iron, calcium, zinc, and protein. So much so it's advised to monitor your intake of them and take supplements.\n\nVegan diets aren't 'undoubtedly better for you'. They bring their own problems. A balanced diet is always going to be better over anything overly restrictive.",
"What is it with vegan and vegetarian foods trying to mimic meat based food products?\n\nVegetarian and vegan food can be delicious on its own. Stop trying to make it something it's not and ending up with something entirely inferior to the product its trying to emulate, poorly.",
"Poultry and especially fish, sure. Pork/beef aren't very valuable nutritionally and are essentially worse versions of poultry or fish.",
"You don't know what you're talking about",
"Nope",
"You know what also tastes great? Vegetable stew. That way you don’t have to fool your brain with a veggie burger at a quarter of the price",
"I'm only guessing here, but I would think they mean if you compost it, it will be dissolved in a month. Like actually put it in a compost pile, where it's getting rained on and sunlight. If it's just sitting in a packing container I don't think it's just going to dissolve. Like if you took a brown dry leaf off the ground and sat it on your table. It would probably sit there a year, and not decompose further until you throw it out.",
"My apologies - if you're an alien who needs 10x more sodium and cholesterol than human beings, pork and beef are great alternatives to fish.",
"You'd need a hell of a lot more than 3. But it doesn't sound like it requires special conditions, so instead of a factory you could just have a massive warehouse with millions of them growing on the shelf.\n\nYou'd need a fuck-ton of molds though, if you could find something other than plastic for the molds that'd be ideal. Glass is infinitely recyclable but probably too energy intensive to process.",
"It's helpful for people who didn't grow up vegetarian/vegan and want to adopt the diet. All the things you already eat or know how to cook, rather than learning all new recipes or learning what is a good substitute straight away, you can easily identify a replacement for it in the store. Like if I want to make spaghetti bolognese, I can go and buy the thing that's labelled vegan mince without any thought.\n\nOr if you live in a mixed household, it can make it easier for someone else to cook for you.\n\nAlso I'd be willing to bet most vegans don't deny that animal products taste great, so it's worth persuing ways to imitate those flavours even if many of the products miss the mark currently.\n\nI agree vegan dishes can be delicious on their own and that many of the substitute products have been subpar so far.",
"Not sure where you got the sodium part. Cholesterol = bad is 20 year old myth at this point.",
"I don’t know much about mushrooms but I had the idea that they didn’t provide much nutricionaly",
"This.\n\nI'm not a vegetarian, but my girlfriend is. She isn't vegan, but the meals we make at home are.\n\nSeitan, jackfruit, tempeh, and tofu (ugh, i hate it) are good protein substitutes for meat and (especially seitan) can be similar in both taste and experience.\n\nFaux meat like impossible or the others are NOT BETTER FOR YOU. its highly processed wish fuck tons of shitty oils and preservatives.\n\nIf youre looking to cut meat out of your diet, dont try to do it with faux meat, find a different form of protein that can hold the flavors youre looking for. otherwise its uncanny valley eating.",
">the healthiest of vegan diets are healthier than the healthiest omnivore diet.\n\nwrong",
"Maybe the molds could be stacked on top of one another so they could do 100 per stack and then have 10k stacks to make a million a week.\n\nThings like cheese, although a more expensive product are made over weeks so it's not unheard off.",
"As an omnivore, living with a vegetarian, and cooking vegan at home, no.\n\nFaux meats can serve a purpose, but I am yet to find an impossible or even improbable burger that i can palate. Black bean burgers? ive found several that i acually enjoy because it adds something to the dish.\n\nIve found over the last 7 years of living with a vegetarian that the things that pretend to be meat rather than what they are are unhealthier, distracting and just fucking weird feeling/tasting sometimes.\n\n\nTo me, its like cutting pork real thin and calling it turkey... yeah, it kinda looks like it, and with enough mustard, you really cant taste it, but nah thats not what it is.",
"What are you saying no to?",
"Nah.",
"Someone above mentioned it will begin the 30 day decomposing when put in a landfill and introduced to rain, bacteria etc to break it down. While just in a box on a shelf sounds like it should hold fine",
"> Vegan diets are undoubtedly better for you,\n\nThan what? Most people would benefit from going on any regulated diet at all. And where that is concerned, as long as you are hitting all your macros and getting your essential vitamins and minerals, it doesn't really matter whether you're eating a vegan diet or a diet with meat in it. For weight it's a matter of caloric balance either way as well. In most balanced nonvegan diets, you get lots of veggies anyway. With vegan diets you have to supplement, with a nonvegan diet most people would still benefit from a supplement.\n\nThe lesson is: be sure to eat your vegetables and take your vitamins. You can eat meat too if you want but be sure to eat your veggies. \n\nIt doesn't matter which trend you are on, as long as you are getting your nutrients, past that it's a matter of taste.",
"That's fine. A balanced nonvegan diet should also usually include lots of veggies. Diets are not vegan vs carnivore. 99% of \"non vegans\" are omnivores.\n\nIn most normal diets you aren't eating a shitload of meat, and you're usually going to be eating a lot of veggies. Your diet should not be largely composed of meats either way, that's not a vegan vs nonvegan thing.",
"Fakon",
"Did they just dip vegan bacon into real egg yoke?",
"Gee I dunno maybe it's because bacon is like goddamn crack cocaine for millions of people, but it's terrible for the environment, so we're trying to figure out a way to save our bacon by subbing our bacon?\n\nI can't say they've been very successful so far, but that seems like a really good reason to try.",
"I actually don't like this for a different reason. Vegan food can stand on its own. The various \"milk\" substitutes, for example. Rice milk, almond milk, et cetera, those are good by themselves, they ought not be seen primarily as milk substitutes. Now, it's understandable that we come up with names for things that remind us of the thing, and rice drink is cloudy white, so \"milk\" is an obvious first choice. But as with \"vegan bacon\", that also may contribute to the view that they are mere substitutes for the \"real thing\". Imagine if we called tofu, which is already viewed by a lot of people as a worse alternative to meat, \"vegan meat\"; I think this would not improve the situation one bit.",
"And imagine if they make it trippy",
"This is some meme level reasoning.",
"It sounds really time sensitive with the packaging taking a week to make, then breaking down in 30 days. What if the thing your selling/shipping sits in a warehouse for a month or longer? Or gets stuck in some courier's warehouse?",
"They can produce them in parallel though, they don't have to do each box sequentially. 1 from start to finish could take the same time as 1000 from start to finish, with enough warehouse space and enough molds.",
"It won't do it all right away, but it's a start.",
"The reason your cardboard box shipment takes 3 weeks is because they have a limited capacity they can produce within a shift/day. They schedule you in. It probably takes 1 day to produce all the cardboard that your company needs.\n\nNow, it's not going to correlate to another week until the shipment comes in. We're talking several weeks of time, because there are other customers waiting for their shipment as well.\n\nBut your point of ordering earlier stands, the buyer will figure out that it will take X weeks to get the shipment and will order accordingly.\n\nThe manufacturer here is really the one who has a problem with the long lead time to complete the production process.",
"Hey I know the scientist they talk to at about one minute. We went to college together, and he got this job right out of college. Weird to see him here.",
"Topic at hand aside. \n\nWe almost have the same username and our accounts are both 7yrs old. Internet doppelgänger",
"The problem is that each mold has to grow for over a week. Imagine producing millions of these a year. Each one taking up space for over a week. That's a big issue and very costly",
"> Vegan diets are undoubtedly better for you\n\nThis has been proven again and again to be non-sense. A very well thought out and expensive vegan diet can be as healthy and balanced as a regular one. But in no way is being vegan generally healthier. People just can't get over the fucking correlation of vegans being more mindful of their diet in general",
"The hate on styrofoam is undeserved. It's biodegradable and it's compressibility makes it take up far less landfill space than other materials. I had a lot of styrofoam packaging waste in my shop, and I used a plastic filling cabinet and mealworms to get rid of it. Was surprisingly simple.",
"This thread is full of people talking out of their asses and trying to poke holes despite not knowing what they're talking about. Why is everyone on this website so obsessed with competing to have the most pedantic \"gotcha\" possible. It drives me fucking insane.",
"Takes a hell of a lot longer than 2 weeks to grow a forest. Our even just a few trees to pulp or chips.",
"They don't provide much, if you only look at calories.",
"Have you tried Impossible Burger? I generally agree with you, but it's legitimately as good as beef to me (and yes, I've had beef recently).",
"Bully for you. So don't call it bacon. But to be succinct, \"vegan bacon\" is what everyone else will call it and we'll know that means a plant/fungi-based bacon substitute.",
"Cannibalism would be undoubtedly more environmentally friendly though, every meal you'd remove a whole carbon footprint!",
"It's a bizarre thing to care about. I wonder if there's similar pendantry surrounding turkey bacon or beef bacon.",
"Lots of people hunt for cheap gotcha's in pretty much everything. \nHeck, it seems to be one of the basic parts of populism",
"I understand the sentiment. As a new food item it's fine. But since people compare it to the real thing it seems worse than it is.\n\nHowever, I think people are still more likely to buy \"Bacon Substitute\" than \"Bacon Flavored Mushroom Strips\".",
"That's a bit unfair. There's definitely demand for plastic products.\n\nBut it's also definitely the case that corps don't give a shit and use whatever is cheapest.\n\nWe could probably solve this by just taxing plastic manufacturing (which may be what you were talking about). That drives up the cost of plastic to include the environmental costs and the free market will naturally gravitate towards cheaper options.",
"Wouldn't that be like calling a bear a \"furry human\" though?",
"> proven\n\nProof then please?",
"No shit if you eat vegan candy all day it's going to be worse. That was clearly not my point. Nice strawman.",
"The main issue is that a much smaller factory can put out potentially let's say 50,000 styrofoam packages a day, while the mushroom one would need to have 1,050,000 molds to be able to reproduce that same output. It's just not scalable.",
"I didn't say anything about a vegan diet being worse even once. So, nice strawman. \n\nSaying \"vegan diets are undoubtedly better for you\" doesn't mean anything. The diet being vegan or not doesn't mean anything. Most healthy diets, including non vegan diets, include vegetables. They just also don't omit meat or dairy. What are you saying they are healthier than?\n\nThat's all I was pointing out.",
"In the video it said that it provided as much protein as real bacon. That can’t be right, right?",
"That can't be right. Do you have a timestamp for where you heard that?",
"4:20",
"> I thought they would have a big batch of mushroom that they'd harvest and compress into a few molds, but instead they're growing the packaging directly into the molds over a week? \n\nIt would still take a week to grow the same amount of mushroom. And compressing doesn't sound like a good idea, it would require more material.",
"The biggest killer in many countries is heart disease, which a plant-based diet *heavily* counteracts. I wouldn't say *cures*, obviously.",
"Nutritional facts of the [product](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e0a563eb6185c7ec8c41287/t/60c22cf46822fa482e3ff560/1623338228149/MyBacon-Nutrition-Facts.png) they're talking about vs. [regular bacon](https://www.eatthismuch.com/food/nutrition/bacon,1797/). Sounds like someone got it wrong, even if we're being generous. Still, you don't really eat mushrooms for their protein content.",
"The packing material is what had me watching but also where I was disappointed. The week thing and even needing a plastic mold isn't the end of the world especially if they were producing the same mold over and over and over and over. What disappointed me was when I saw the amount of manual labor it took. It has a long way to go to be cost effective like that.",
"So it isn’t a meat substitute at all. More like an empty snack",
"Just because a worm can eat styrofoam in [small quantities](https://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-092915.html) over time does not make it biodegradable. \n\nStyrofoam is [non-biodegradable](https://www.sej.org/publications/backgrounders/styrofoam-facts-why-you-may-want-bring-your-own-cup) and [non-recyclable](http://blogs.colgate.edu/sustainability/2011/11/10/styrofoam-why-it-is-harmful-alternatives/) material.",
"Yep, looks like you're correct about that being \"not true in a very technical sense.\" As your first link points out, the worms eat it and then waste it \"as *biodegraded* fragments.\" My oversimplification of this complex technical issue is a minefield for discussion in a web forum on the internet.",
"It's just stupid to call it meat or bacon. It's mushroom. You are not selling paper and calling it phone.",
"To me that's like complaining that a \"file folder\" on your computer isn't **actually** a file folder, despite it being functionally the same idea.\n\nI've never seen vegan options sold as \"meat\" but I think calling it \"vegan bacon\" is fine because bacon is really a style of of the food. Bacon is really just pig meat in a certain format, so making something imitate bacon is fine to call itself vegan bacon because it's functionally the same for the vegans eating it. The same way there exists imitation bacon bits. Should they instead be called \"simulated smoky flavoured salad item\"? I think imitation bacon bits is fine, because *again* it's functionally the same thing to the people eating it. Nobody is buying fake bacon bits and complaining, so I think it's silly to complain here.",
"The wood chips are a waste product. Trees need to be pruned or removed all the time. The wood gets chipped and repurposed rather than just letting it rot. There are power plants that burn wood chips for energy.",
"So don’t eat mushrooms, I don’t know what to tell you.",
"Thanks, I didn't catch that piece of information from the video.\n\nDo you know anything about my other two queries:\n* Border control/quarantine issues with organic matter\n* Pest control. Preferably something without the need to use copious amounts of methyl-bromide to kill off any pests since that has a damaging effect on the ozone layer.",

"😂",
"Now I know what to do if I ever meet rowan Atkinson",
"I just love how elegant he talks the entire time. If you enjoy this you should watch the one with Daniel Radcliffe talking about being too polite with rude fans.",
"It's funny that Rowan Atkinson is probably one of the funniest and smartest people in British comedy but he is best known for work that doesn't give the notion of just how smart his comedy can be.",
"I remember being amazed when I first found out he has a Masters in Electrical Engineering. He's definitely a treasure.",
"Just look how well he acts out the part of the other guy. I doubt that guy had perfect comedic timing like he does.",
"He should have called in after the show and asked who that guy was impersonating him.",
"For someone who never speaks in his movies, he is literally one of the most well-spoken people I’ve ever heard",
"Few comedians are skilled in physical comedy as well as more cerebral witty comedy. He was the rare talent that was a master of both.",
"> doesn't give the notion of just how smart his comedy can be.\n\nNot sure whether I agree considering he was able to extract and express the essence of basic comedy in such a manner, which to this day stays **universally** popular without any alterations to the source material.\n\nIt's still a brilliant achievement to bring something \"simple\" to as close to perfection as he did.",
"It's like when Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest. He got third place.",
"Haha I remember hearing about that",
"I've always felt it takes a quite a lot of intelligence to play stupid well. No one plays stupid like Monty Python, and they're all incredibly well educated guys. Dumb and Dumber is another great example, Carrey is obviously a comedic genius, and it took an equally brilliant dramatic actor to have a chance playing opposite him. After Thor Ragnarok I realized Anthony Hopkins could have been a comedy god in another timeline.",
"To be fair, he does look alot like Mr. Bean",
"He isnt dead yet or is he?",
"I absolutely love Rowan Atkinson's voice and manner of speaking. He needs to be the next narrator like Morgan Freeman.",
"I absolutely love that man",
"Probably ask him what it's like to crash an ultra fast, ultra expensive car, twice.\n\nYep, Rowan managed to crash a Mclaren F1 twice.",
"No, but Reddit is talking about him...",

"Is this the one?\nhttps://youtu.be/fzJFs-gy3XY",
"That's the one",
"Honestly, Mr. Bean is absolutely brilliant physical comedy. Imagine anyone else successfully making a mostly silent character that could have near universal global appeal",
"A Masters in Electrical Engineering **from Oxford**",
"Or when Michael Caine called into a radio show doing a Michael Caine impression contest... and lost.",
"You can say \"ass\" on British television but not \"twat\"?",
"Are they famous for their electrical engineers?",
"Quite funny, he is great! Too bad they FUCKED IT UP with the canned laughter",
"They are famous for being possibly the best University in the country, definitely top 2 with Cambridge.",
"I didn't say they were top in engineering. It's just an incredible achievement.",
"Did the canned laughter drown out the massive audience?",
"Yeah but if someone says they have a Masters in Engineering from Harvard, you'd still understand that that is a great achievement. You wouldn't scoff at them and laugh about how there are 4-5 better schools for engineering",

"I'm an American. In 1986 I was 16 and my brother was studying in London.\n\nI was fortunate enough to visit him, and never been to London, or anywhere International, before. I was an avid BBC fan watched Monty Python, Doctor Who, The Young Ones, Black Adder, Blakes 7, Fawlty Towers, and many other shows on local PBS stations. \n\nI get off the plane, he takes me to his college, which was in central London and it had a pub on campus. This was kind of novel to me, since we don't normally see many colleges in America that have a pub in the middle of the school (or at least the ones I knew), and being 16 I could order beer legally without being carded was exciting to me.\n\nSo I saunter up to the bar and the bartender is the spitting image of Rowan Atkinson. However, at the time I didn't know Rowan's name - I just knew the guy from the TV show The Black Adder & Mr. Bean. I look at him and say, \"Hey, has anyone told you that you look like the Black Adder?\"\n\nHe pauses. Looks at me.

"> To arrive at the heart of the matter. Some think this late nineteenth-century term comes from Cockney rhyming slang for hard facts. Another possible and perhaps more likely source is the American general store, where a countertop was marked with brass tacks at one-yard intervals for measuring cloth, and “getting to brass tacks” meant measuring precisely. Still another theory is that in upholstered furniture, brass tacks were used to secure the undermost cloth, and to reupholster properly one had to strip the furniture to that layer.\n\nThat's all good and all, but it's the next part that really gets to down to the nitty-gritty of the brass tacks:\n\n> A mid-twentieth-century American synonym is to get down to the nitty-gritty, alluding to the detailed (nitty) and perhaps unpleasant (gritty) facts of the case. It was borrowed from black English, where it signified the ***anus and alluded to picking body lice (nits) from that body part***. This association had been largely forgotten by the time the term was popularized by the 1964 hit song “The Nitty Gritty” by Shirley Ellis.\n\nhttps://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/brass+tacks",

"He is so proud of his baby.",
"This was really, really cool",
"Regular Christmas \n\n\n\\>Saved",
"TIL there was such a thing as a tetris in the game Tetris. Still no idea what it is, nor what burning a line means but interesting.",
"Tetris = 4 lines at once (the max possible)",
"This guy should be coming up with names for vape flavours",
"Burning a line means only clearing 1,2, or 3 lines as opposed to the maximum of 4. Ideally, clearing 4 lines at once (known as a “Tetris”) is what you’d want to do as often as possible. Anyone is free to correct me if I’m mistaken.",
"Half way through, I just skipped to the last couple min to see where it ended up. I remeber watching my grandmother playing doctor mario when I was a kid, and she was like a fucking bot. It was awe inspiring cause I sucked at tetras and Dr Mario. And man, this old lady was just slaying it. I still have memories of this 30 years later.",
"No, you're quoting things right. There's some very edge reasons that you want less than a tetris for score shenanigans in the NES Tetris specifically, and more generally for ease of survival in any of the Tetris games that don't have insurance for an endless game.\n\nBut you want as many four line clears as you can get.",

"I am amazed at how stable NES Tetris is, to just power through so far past what anyone would have debugged. And it sounds like the final crash is just a processor failing on such large calculations.",

I'm sad her hands and mind can't play now because I think it would be nice for her to have.",
"He should be... It beat tetris",
"Is this really perfect Tetris? It seems to make suboptimal burns due to not knowing if an I piece is incoming, but surely that's determinable by simulating the RNG sequence.

"Space invaders is built on the bug. The space guys arent meant to be moving slowly. The fast speed when there is a few left is the default space. It only moves slow at the start because the processor is lagging.",

"And with your username, your comment is rather amusing",
"I've been a CTWC fan the past 4-5 years now and and always in awe by the various techniques that these player come up with. Such techniques makes the \"Kill Screen\" playable now. Mostly for 60 seconds or less. But, as the players get more efficient and used to the end game, one must wonder what the possibilities are as far as scoring.\n\nSaw this about a week ago, this was mind blowing. Its crazy to see how the game can still operate way beyond what a human can \"currently\" do. It reminds me of the documentary \"King of Kong\" where a game is played so successfully and efficiently that its at the mercy o the in-game memory/RAM.\n\nIt would be amazing to see people get to that level someday.",
"Black Pink in you area!",
"I was dying at \"mexico according to Hollywood\"",
"I couldn't stop grinning!",
"Likely a math error from an under/overflow.\n\nThe number 235 plugged into whatever formula tetris uses to determine the length of the level probably causes a number in the equation to get too high or low, wrapping it around to a number that should never be used in the formula.\n\nWhy 235? No idea, we'd need the formula to know and Idk it.",
"excellent. Now AI can play chess, go, and tetris.\n\nWould prefer them to do tax returns and the laundry, but, whatever.",

We can force close the emulator before it consumes itself and the rest of the world with it because it's run within a container.\n\nShould you ever allow it to run unattended however it will get to the internet where it will attempt to stack and clear everything.",
"TIL I've hit the \"kill screen\" a few times on Tetris. Once I cross 140 I just play for lines and not points anymore.",
"Yeah but the NES has less computing power than a fridge these days.",
"It's because of how it saves the level and does the math to determine the lines.\n\nGoogling led me to a comment a year ago from u/Le_Martian :\n>tldr: binary is dumb \nThe game stores the last 2 digits of the line counter in BCD (binary-coded decimal), which basically means every 4 bits in binary are converted into one decimal digit. The first digit is just a normal byte though, which can go up to 255, but if you could get to 25600 lines, it would wrap around to 0. So for example, 2190 lines is stored as 00010101(21) 1001(9)0000(0). \nWhen the game determines whether to increment the level, it increments the line counter, then checks if the last digit is 0. If you clear multiple lines at once, it repeats this once for every line you clear. If the last digit is 0, it then shifts the line counter 4 bits to the right, which is basically like dividing by 10. It takes the last 8 bits of this number and subtracts it from the level counter. If the result is less than 0, it increments the level. So 2190 lines would become 01011001 \nOne problem with this is that the level is stored as a normal binary number, while the lines are stored as a bcd number, which means its essentially comparing a decimal number (lines) to a hexadecimal number (level). This is why when you start on level 10 or higher, you transition at the wrong number of lines. (also if the game didn't check if the last digit of the line counter was a zero before incrementing the level, then the game would transition from level 9 straight to level 16.) \nThe other problem is that the result of the subtraction is stored as a single signed byte, which can be between -128 and 127. If the number is more than 127 it becomes negative, and if it's less than -128 it becomes positive. Once you get to level 160, the result of the subtraction is positive, but it's greater than 128, so the game still reads it as negative. \nOn level 219, it's supposed to transition at 2200 lines. the lines counter is stored as: 00010110 00000000. Shift 4 bits to the right and take the last 8 bits, and you get 01100000. The level 219 is stored as 11011011. When you subtract these, you get 01111011, which the game reads as 123. This is obviously not less than 0, so the level doesn't change. It's not until 3000 lines when 11011011-11100000 is less than 0 and the level changes.",
"He sounds like a commentator during the Olympics.",
"It's not \"AI\", it's a program and there's logic. Just like every frickin other program",
"It's crazy that the limit for the AI is the stability of the game.",
"Besides the word blerns, the rest of that sentence was complete gibberish",
"We used to call a lot of things AI before maching learning was a thing. I don't think it's wrong to call it an AI.",
"as a programmer myself, i don't understand how code just starts reading into the sprite sheet just because it runs out of space to count numbers. that is something that must be coded into the game. i think someone thought the score might keep going and so they did it. it's not random. when i was a kid and i played tetris dx on the gameboy, i wondered what would happen if i got a higher score than the space available in the box, i did. the score simple broke the graphics of the box and moved over one space. for this tetris game to start using letters is definitely a feature. so is the sprite sheet thing. it's not random. it begs the question of whether the changing colors themselves was also a feature or not. anyone that understands this in a more technical way want to chime in?",
"A proper emulator would work with the same framerate/input limitations as the actual game.",
"Generally you would tap on the d pad to move the blocks. \n\nHyper tapping was the next evolution, which is as it sounds tapping very quickly, hitting certain frames to move the blocks faster. \n\nRolling is when you use your hand in a rolling motion to hit the controller into your thumb. When proficient it is faster than hyper tapping.",

And \"machine learning\" is nothing more that data that can change iteratively, which isn't new either. \n\nThe only difference is the processing is faster, and sometimes more complex, and the amount of data that can be reasonably stored and manipulated has become larger. But that's it. In the video he describes the algorithms the Stack Rabbit program uses. It will try to wait for \"long bars\" but when the blocks have gotten high, it will use a different branch condition to allow it to lower the stack to await the next long bar. He describes it as \"being scared\" but that's just an anthropomorphic description for what is a programmed algorithm.\n\nNow the army of marketers has joined the tech bros in calling everything AI, so it will be a while,before sanity can return, if ever. Sometimes misnomers become permanent, like the way we call non-autonomous tiny helicopters \"drones\" even though the essential nature of a drone is that it should act without needing direct control.

"> Dealing with large integers is fiddly on an 8-bit machine\n\nYeah, because you have to break it into multiple pieces. Breaking it into *more* pieces isn't going to help matters (plus the complexity added by not being able to rely on integer overflow). And it gets even more complex unless you've been able to earmark position 0 on your sprite sheet.\n\n> Easier to just store in that format, implement one lot of fiddliness (handling score increments) and display it directly.\n\nI disagree completely. Much easier to store and calculate on it in a reasonable, standardized format, then confine the weirdness of decimal numbers to as small a part of the program entirely. Implementing modulus operations for multibyte numbers in order to do the conversion will be a pain, but not as much as implementing however many math operations I need to do my score calculations on base 10 numbers.",

"Why are you insulting him, man?",
"The NES is a very primitive platform - it doesn't have the ability to simply draw text like you're used to a modern platform doing. To print out even a simple number, he programmer has to must programmatically print out the sprites needed to represent the number.\n\nIn this implementation (for the score in tetris), the score looks as though it's stored as 7 numbers, each one representing a different digit in the score display, and the game logic handles overflow as you'd expect for the lower 6 digits (e,g, adding +1 to a score of 9 updates the 1s digit to 0 and the tens digit to 1). In the case of the millions digit, the programmers just let it overflow, assuming that no player would ever pass a score of 9 million. The UI doesn't have room to display an 8th digit anyways, presumably for the same reason.",

"That lady demonic quoting lady was surprisingly normal looking.",
"The last few years have made me exceptionally sad for my country.",
"Idk about that. I think there are more stupid people now than there were 60 years ago. And that's because of the gradual failing of our public education system, especially in rural areas of the US. That and the \"pride\" of ignorance that's somehow seeped into our culture. That somehow it's bad to be intellectual, and insulting to point out when someone doesn't have a good understanding of something.",

It becomes divisive. If we want a country that can function again, on a societal level, we have to reevaluate the information we all consume. This is me reevaluating. Anti-vaxxers are people, but need some education, to be blunt. I think just having that opinion of them, changes the way I think about them.

The chance also grows exponentially with the duration of active infection.\n\nAnd, guess what the unvaccinated who get infected have more of, for longer?

If you drive down main street in half the small towns in this country you'll find boarded up shops and run down buildings. That's why I say \"blatantly obvious\" because as someone who grew up in small towns like this you can literally see the decay. As for the \"most people\" comment? Well, even a basic understanding of [income inequality in America](https://inequality.org/facts/income-inequality/#income-inequality) will prove that point, but the truth is you don't even need that to feel that something is wrong with this country.

Therefore, it appears that yet again you've been the intellectually lazy one as you don't seem to have enough of the picture to see how these things are interconnected. \n\nNow, having said that, I can see from your wording that you bit off more than you can chew and are trying to exit the interaction, so let's get meta (to step beyond this conversation) for a moment before you go.

"OK. You are clearly the higher intelligence here, so I'll ask you this: if you send the bloody teachers home who is going to teach the kids?\n\nWe aren't changing an entire system. We are wearing masks indoors. Sending home all teachers with comorbidities is a much bigger change than wearing masks inside, but that is your solution? Did you have a bang on the head before you wrote that?\n\nAnd no, I don't know that kids pose no risk. As I said, the CDC has a whole section on it. When the concussion passes go read it.",

Because I have and believe me shitting on them only makes things worse, another example of the same mindset is religiosity and religious homophobia. I once spent a lot of time speaking with religious people about these issues, and when I was angry and spiteful they only felt more justified in their viewpoints, but when I was calm, showed compassion and related with them before gently leading them through proper reasoning I was actually able to change a lot of minds if not at least get them to reconsider their thinking, that's just human nature.",

"A ride in a care is not way safer. If you're in the highest risk category for covid, there are about 8 other more likely ways to die. And the chances are, you've already got one of the things listed in those 8. \n\nhttps://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/preventable-death-overview/odds-of-dying/\n\nPeople not getting the shot doesn't make them stupid or selfish. What's stupid is to think the shot will help you if you already live an unhealthy lifestyle. Being overweight, smoking or lacking continuous physical exercise will keep you in a high risk category, with or without the vaccine. Everybody wants a one stop fix, when in reality you need to make personal changes.",
"If you send home the at-risk teachers, you should only be losing a small fraction of them. If they're so at risk, teaching children, with the constant transmission of viruses, is not the profession for them. If teachers have had their shot, they should have nothing to worry about. If they haven't they've accepted the risk of the virus.\n\nChildren do not pose a significant risk of catching or dying from covid. It's never been a thing. You have about the same chance of being struck by lightning than a healthy child has of dying from covid. For the same reason you don't wear lightning protective clothing, is the same reason it's unnecessary to make children wear masks.",

It's why confederate sympathies have leaked out of their historical boundaries and into rural regions aroind the nation.",

"If you watch more of their stuff (and do! All covers, but lots of fun!) you'll spot her immediately. She exaggerates everything more than the others, including her mouth movements (makes her mouth look unusually wide). It's clear they have all had some mime training; took me a while to realize that some of their more jerky movements were just them and not video tricks...I think that is why they have the swirly thing on the kick drum, so you can see that there are no changes to the speed. Green hair though, she is always a bit....extra :D",
"As far as I understand, their Halloween specials are recorded at lower speed, and played sped up, so their movements become jerkier. I think the effect is more extreme in some of their earlier videos, but I'm not sure. I wish someone would document this.",

"Wait so you mean that THIS TIMELINE might actually be the one where we get flying cars??¿??? Add stabilizer software to it and call it a night.",
"I can't imagine the efficiency of those blades is amazing.",
"https://www.cyclotech.at/",
"For those who want more technical info,please consider this video.\n\n[https://youtu.be/96DKtu9DFow](https://youtu.be/96DKtu9DFow)",
"Save your brain and eardrums and just move right on by. If you’re curious what it is, Google it. \n\nBut this video is trash fucking fire. Save yourselves.",
"Flying cars will never happen. Failure modes alone guarantee it.",
"When do you ever get efficiency from a proof of concept?\n\nRotor size to vehicle body ratio looks pretty impressive though. At least it looks a bit safer than a quad copter bike",
"Flying cars exist. They’re called airplanes.",
"how loud is it?",
"I'm moreso speaking to the fundamental concept of small blades in a wheel vs a typical prop.",
"Interesting design. It’s amazing that they can control the blade direction within a single revolution.",
"Looking at their specs, the vehicle weighs 83kg with each rotor putting out 253N (maximum lift of ~100kg). So I guess they could maybe put a small dog on it and it'll barely take off.",
"The machine is quiet but the techno it generates can be deafening.",
"That music, like, really, like, made this, like, totally, like boring video of, like, some like car that like floats or something?! like could you, like even go to Coachella and, like float over people or, like would all the old guys toupees fly off with the sand? like I would be, like so pissed if, like all that sand was, like stuck to my spray on tan. Like, gross.",
"Do you suppose they're tough enough to withstand a bird impact? The first thing I thought of is, if just one of those blades fails in flight, that whole thing goes plummeting out of control to the ground in an instant, and it'll never be high enough for a vehicle parachute to deploy ala Cirrus.",
"I think the goal is to be safer than a quad copter but I am pretty sure the same thing will happen to your hand. Maybe the effective kill radius is reduced.",
"Let's see your designs and creations then.",
"Interesting concept. Would they get more lift and thrust by making the blades longer? Would they lose any efficiency by putting a cage around them to protect from bird strike? Is any one of them brave enough to sit on it for the next indoor test flight?",
"Right? Licensing/training, failure rates, weaponization, opportunity for criminal enterprise... there's a dozen really compelling reasons to keep flying vehicles out of the hands of the average joe. Pick one.",
"> Add stabilizer software to it and call it a night\n\nThis thing is a mechanical nightmare.\n\nMultirotors (like quadcopters, the typical drone) are bonehead simple: electric motor connected to a propeller. They can still fail, but there's less *to* fail. You deal with potential failure by adding more props. A hexacopter can still fly if it loses one motor, and land if it loses two (if you lose power completely, you're fucked).\n\nA single rotor craft (aka helicopter) is much more mechanically complex, because the pitch of the blades must change dynamically, but helicopters can actually *glide* ([autorotate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorotation)) in the case of power failure.\n\nCyclocopter blades have to dynamically change their pitch, like a helicopter (but for different reasons), so you've got the mechanical complexity of a helicopter *times 4*, or more if you want to survive a motor/prop failure, with none of the ability to glide.\n\nThis company claims that \"cyclocopter technology combines the main benefits of rotorcraft and fixed-wing concepts\", but it's more the opposite, combing all the disadvantages -- it has the mechanical complexity of a helicopter, without the ability to autorotate in the case of power failure, doesn't have the efficiency or ability to glide of a plane, will crash on a single motor failure like a quadcopter, etc.\n\nThe main advantages seem to be that the thrusters are more compact than multirotor props and that it can potentially have better stability/performance than typical multirotors (dynamic changing blade pitch means you can change thrust vector instantly, which is why helicopters can do [shit like this](https://youtu.be/7VDdHJDQn3Y?t=63)).",
"I don't think this concept will ever get off the ground",
"You could say all the same thing about cars.",
"That's a flying bus.",
"Remindme! 1000 years",
"I was wondering what would happen if a rotor failed in flight.\n\nGiven its layout it'd go from a rectangle with all weight inside the border providing downwards thrust to a triangle with a chunk of weight sitting outside the border..",
"good thing they had that music so we know it's *cool* and *important*",
"Helicopters.",
"Simple fix: Fully automated. No human interaction allowed.",
"Supposedly those rotors only weight 10kg, but yeah that would still throw off thrust. I think quadcopters have similar failure redundancy where you turn off or reverse thrust the opposite corner to balance.\n\nThis vehicle might have an advantage because each rotor can provide horizontal thrust without pitching the vehicle.",
"My thought too. That rotor design looks awfully similar to an air-raid siren.",
"A cool concept but maybe tone down on the epic music. Made the whole video unbearable to watch.",
"Probably not, I bet each of those blades are less than 1lb of carbon fiber and they're spinning at like 3000rpm. Even a sparrow would probably do some decent damage.\n\nThat said, I feel like a vehicle like this would never go as fast as a plane, even a small light aircraft. Maybe airstrikes would be less likely.",
"Step one delete the techno music. \n\n\n\nSee I'm all ready ahead of these clowns.",
"Probably just a giant proof of concept for the next gen novelty RC copters.\n\nThey're already using modern materials to minimize weight and maximize strength. With so much complexity it's unlikely they would find suitable materials to scale this up any bigger without hitting material strength limits.\n\nWould make more sense to shrink the concept and double down on the toy industry.",
"\"Simple\"",
"Another ground effect bait for sweet VC cash.",
"What could possibly go wrong.",
"Why tho?",
"No we won't. Flying cars are and will always be a fantasy.",
"Nah, diesel powered biplanes are the future of aviation.\n\nIf we can somehow burn more fuel and carry less weight, that'd be the way to go. Also, make new aircraft heavy as shit and so accident prone that crashing is considered a good landing.",
"It uses an adjustable eccentrically mounted cam. It's inspired by how the swashplate works on a helicopter.",
"That's a flying quad bike.",
".",
"Hell, flying this near anywhere with loose gravel might be a problem. If its carbon fiber and it smackes into a loose piece of flint, it'll prob break something.",
"Cool design. Also plz kill the guy who choose that obnoxious background music.",
"If you want a flying car put wheels on an helicopter.",
"Simple to put a flamethrower on that fucker. LETS RIDE BOYS!!!!",
"Not to mention the simple economics of \"Why build a flying car, when aircraft already work fine?\". Trying to build something that's a car AND aircraft is just dumb, you don't need both in 99% of situations, and it would not only be a huge waste to drive a car 99% of the time that *could* fly, but you also really don't want people who already drive, flying.",
"Agreed. There's a good reason aircraft don't use that type of rotor/engine lol. Now, that type of engine/rotor might be better for weight, quicker to go from full forward to full-reverse, or have slight benefits and don't need the benefits of actual propellers/rotors like in aircraft (safety, redundancy, weight-lift ratio, controllability, etc). Maybe it'll work well for a drone or something, but I don't see that ever being approved for any type of human use aside from a few rich people renting/buying it.",
"Yes. \n\nNo information. Dramatic music. No explanation of the applications of this technology or what they are looking to replace.\n\nIt’s a highly complex rotor, clearly it’s taken a lot of work, I just don’t see what they are trying to do here.",
"And the simplest.\n\nEnergy efficiency. And thus cost efficiency. Easier to let the ground handle upwards acceleration for you than to multiply the energy you need several fold to make your own, in addition to moving laterally.\n\nSame reason why so many other forms of air travel haven't replaced conventional subsonic airliners. They're just the most efficient.",
"Definately not. Currently many aircraft jet engine blades are carbon fiber like the GE90 and GEnx. Even THOSE (much thicker and built to higher tolerances) had to be steel tipped (iirc) to handle bird strikes. This thing would shred apart in seconds, then the unbalanced weight would cause the rest of that rotor to shred even more, causing more damage to the rest of the vehicle. Plus no backup ability to land either (parachute, gliding, autorotate), this thing's definitely a fun toy for rich people, but not much more.\n\nMan, I've see so many of these \"personal future-vehicle\" try to rewrite human transportation, without realizing the amount of training, rise in cost for fuel, infrastructure and safety issues these things usually have.",
"> I was wondering what would happen if a rotor failed in flight.\n\nIt would plummet to the ground. It cannot glide, it cannot operate sans a rotor being powered, and it can't get high enough to effectively use a parachute. It's a safety nightmare.",
"There is truly nothing worse than bombastic music with very little drama to go with it.",
"That system are alrdy used in marine propellers. The main benefit there is the omnidirectional propulsion as it's not very easy to steer a single direction propeller in water with water resistance and all. Wonder what the benefit of this would be in air travel over a helicopter or a quadcoptor.",
"Someone break out the Mythbusters chicken cannon... let's get to testing.",
"Are you ready to get chopped to fucking pieces by a drunk driver in a flying car?",
"Pretty much what I was thinking ☠️",
"Agree... unwatchable.",
"So no flight surfaces or auto rotate capability? That means this is essentially limited as a uav? In that case what advantage does it have over a quad copter?",
"With how fast those blades probably have to spin and having 4 of those, they had to find a way to drown all the noise they make.",
"WHAT ?!!",
"Fake. You can see the string.",
"Looks interesting, but that music is straight up too loud and dogshit.",
"God awful music.",
"Do you promise it won't have more shitty over the top music? \n\nThe original video is the first YT vid I can ever remember muting just so I can bear to watch it.",
"very very loud flying cars? I'll take it! \n\nHarley riders are gonna cry so much when they find out they're not the most obnoxious noise in the neighborhood anymore.",
"This music is super lame.",
"ever heard about protection? a simple two layer protection will easyly do the job. it does not even have to be thick",
"Failure modes and concentration of idiots on this planet. Imagine every other fuckwit you meet in traffic flying over populated area. It's a disaster waiting to happen.",
"We won't and we shouldn't. They are terribly energy inefficient, just like planes are but they are subsidized, and require significantly higher skill ceiling to operate. People don't know how to use roundabouts and yet you expect them to navigate over populated areas in all kinds of weather conditions and not to look at their phone constantly. It's better this way.",
"Same for quadcopters or helicopters though. But tbh I can’t see this being used for anything beyond drones, it seems so inefficient aerodynamically.",
"Nope. Helicopters can autorotate if they lose engine power. It's technically safer than gliding an aircraft. There's a decent bit of redundancy built into aircraft for a reason.",
"I think most of the problems with vehicle AI is the roads, the signage and ground conditions..and we are getting a lot closer there. If you think of flying cars, they wouldn't have to keep to a single 3 metre lane, as long as we had good control planning, they'd never have to take into account other vehicles or the randomness of human drivers..there would be no signs obscured by snow or leaves, no pedestrians or cyclists. No lorries to be confused with the sky. Flying car AI should be simple compared to road driving, as long as there was centralised control which planned all routes to avoid other vehicles by height etc. After that it would be quite simple collision avoidance",
"Isn't carbon fiber supposed to be very tough?\n\nAlso, why not encase the sides and net the inlet of these blades?",
"That’s not music, it’s just the sound of their revolutionary rotors!",
"> Isn't carbon fiber supposed to be very tough?\n\nNo, it isn't. Toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing. Toughness requires a balance of strength and ductility. Carbon fibre is high strength, but very low ductility. It just tends to shatter instead of deforming plastically.",
"The question is what kind of protection you can add that won't adversely affect airflow",
"It might bring an advantage in light transitional vehicles, as it should be a little better at high speed efficiency.... but yeah, not the greatest and is also does not have the mechanical simplicity of multi rotor concepts.",
"Can it even fly outside a sealed room?",
"The problem with AI is simply the amount of factors it needs to take into consideration, nothing else. Ask anyone who actually works on AI or machine learning. It's simple to make a (still not a \"true\" AI) program that chooses between a few options.\n\nWhen a computer has to make decisions in a dynamic environment with thousands of factors at the same time, it's simply complicated. Not to mention we're not even close to what an AI actually is, compared to what we have no which is a simple (comparatively) program that just awards points based on the \"right\" answer. We're nowhere near close to having actual \"thinking\" AI or programs, currently they still only do exactly what we program them to (or mis-program lol).\n\nActual, true AI is still ages away. You can make a program that drives cars perfectly fine, just put it on rails and take away all other motorists. Anything else requires an exponential more amount of programming, testing, and research.",
"Carbon fiber is *strong*, but usually isn't *tough*\n\nStrength is the ability to handle a maximum load and carbon fiber composites are phenomenal at that. Toughness is the ability to absorb load *beyond* maximum strength; for example, most metals will bend when overloaded before eventually breaking. When overloaded some toughness is used up to set a new maximum strength (usually through a process called work hardening)\n\nCarbon fiber composites have very little margins between max load and complete failure. They're like glass in that way - fine, until suddenly they're not.",
"I'd assume that if this progressed, those blades could be encased almost all the way around. They would only need to be open at the bottom / back? Or perhaps the casing could rotate independently...I don't really know what lateral propulsion this thing would have...",
"The footage is sped up, that thing is barely able to lift itself, much less a person.",
"Roads are the most expensive assets that nations own. You could save a bundle on roads if everyone was flying.",
"Reread your own comment. “It cannot operate missing a rotor” can a helicopter autorotate missing a rotor?",
"Where did I say \"missing a rotor?\".\n\nI specifically said helicopters can auto-rotate with engine failure. Also would like to see where all these helicopter rotors are flying off, in reality that almost never happens. Would be akin to losing a wing or two in an airplane; no matter what you do it's critical.\n\nIf you're stuck on me typing \"missing rotor\" two comments ago, I fixed it, as I was speaking on engine failure, not the physical detachment of rotors, which again almost never happens.",
"Oh but they do occasionally ..\n\nhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.mspro.2014.06.119",
"Always easier to argue with someone if you don't care what they said. I'm not disagreeing with you on the definition of AI. My point was almost like..\"You can make a program that drives cars perfectly fine, just put it on rails and take away all other motorists\" could be almost a recipe for autonomous (OK I won't use the term AI) flying vehicles. The central journey planner puts them on rails basically away from other traffic. Many of the hard parts of progressing autonomous road vehicle don't exist in the 3D plane",
"The music? Unnecessarily loud.",
"Let's compain about music more. Because you guys dont have enough first world problems. JFC.\n\nYou could click the mute button instead of typing whatever bullshit comes to mind next time.",
"is it? you need airflow from above, but the chances are pretty low that you will catch bird from that direction. you can also have a protection in front of it that leaves enough room for airflow.",
"Yes, considering I literally stated that. Again, it's extremely rare and no vehicle could handle that level of failure. What's the point again?",
"You just repeat the same thing.\n\nThe point is idiots arent going to get near the controls. Basically you get in flying car, program a destination which is uploaded to a central controller which plots a safe route away from other vehicles. Vehicle uses GPS to stay on route. Only really basic collision avoidance, route calculation in case of dropped communications and safe landing are needed in the vehicle. \n\nThat way you wouldn't need to worry about pedestrians, other drivers, cyclists, obscured signs and road markings, road conditions, other traffic, staying in lane, cameras mistaken identification..and a lot of other things that make autonomous road vehicles such a hard task. \n\nAnd yeah, you are right, not true AI..but it doesn't have to be.",
"It’s a magnus effect or rotating wing craft, instead of a wing pushing through air and creating lift many small wings are rotated quickly to give the same effect with much finer control and directional change capabilities \n\nhttps://youtu.be/eJtNe59VVj8",
"Nothing a screen couldn't solve",
"Here's a great video of a cycloidal rotor done at the RC scale with explanation of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoVmejDsMrM&",
"I turned my volume down first, then all the way off.",
"I have bad news for you...",
"Yes!! As kids me and my friends watched the Jetsons, and truly believed we would have flying cars in our lifetimes. Perhaps, on a small scale I will live to see it.",
"Relax with the music. Jesus Christ, you aren't making a Cyberpunk 2077 loading screen.",
"If you lose one of those spinner things, you die. Right? So not only is it NOT redundant, but is 1/4th as redundant. Or am I missing something?",
"Is no one going to mention the obvious cable that is pulling it up? WAKE UP SHEEPLE!",
"Why not stick some shields on the top to direct all that omnidirectional air?? Or shields that move to direct.",
"Someone’s gonna need to create a Starwars Landspeeder skin for that and quickly.",
"Cool, but its just fans, right? Are these drum shaped fans more efficient than other types?",
"I could see drones using this tech, air ambulances maybe",
"Cars are on the ground and can't fly bombs past checkpoints.",
"Thanks for the link- very interesting!",
"Until someone goes manual, straps a couple hundred kilos of C4 onto one and flies past checkpoints/barricades and obliterates an embassy.\n\nGranted, none of this is less possible with a plane or a helicopter... but 'flying cars' with availability much higher than other aircraft compounds this.",
"This has potential if they find a way to keep the noise level down.",
"Also cut off the first 45 seconds if you’re not going to explain anything, thanks.",
"Now throw some birds at it.",
"It looks like there is more mechanical stress with this which would shorten the life of the vehicle. The blade tilt changes with every revolution which is a lot of tilt changes. It looks like something that would wear out.",
"Cool tech--horrible music. What is this, a Transformers 10 trailer?",
"A helicopter rotor blade also changes it's tilt on each rotation. \n\nI'm not saying that you're incorrect in guessing that it would shorten the life of the vehicle, just that it's not unique to this technology.",
"And the award for least appropriate music goes to…",
"Yeah nothing screams 'stupid gimmick that wont actually pan out' more than stupid over the top dubstep. \n\nI mean this could very well be a great invention but that choice of music is used by every company who has half a product and is trying to drum up hype to get investors' money to run off with.",
"Watch out guys, Big Helicopter has already infiltrated the thread.",
"Hearing damage after a five minute trip. No way to reduce the decibel levels of that blade system. This is a failed idea, the developers/investors should cut their losses and stop wasting their money now.",
"And there is stuff like those scholars who made a 4 prop drone that could loose 2 props and still fly without spin control, and 3 props and still fly except without tilt control.",
"The wadsworth constant also applies.",
"You need to design and create things to critique a video made for, I'm guessing more than just people who design and create things, to watch? I'll be damned.\n\nNo wonder everyone gets mad at me in the pornhub comments! I need to have sex, before I can critique theirs! You just blew my mind! The second thing I've blown in the last ten minutes. The first needed a tissue, will this need a tissue as well?",
"Lol all the people in the background when it's flying are wearing industrial ear protection",
"2021: EVERYTHING NEEDS MUSIC",
"That music *tried* to sound more epic than the trailers for Moonfall, The Eternals and other. It was not enjoyable.",
"Woo, isn't this guy supposed to be a millionaire?",
"The cable attached to top doesnt scream \"free flight\". More \"first tethered flight\". But it seems most these companies doing tesla type bs marketing.",
"As a seasoned video editor myself, fuck whoever did this!",
"That's true, but they're also much smaller and lighter than helicopter blades.",
"This video is the equivalent of that guy on Tinder who talks up a big game and all the amazing stuff he’s gonna do to you to make you orgasm all night and then he cums before he unclips your bra.",
"The music is really annoying and don't really understand why they have it... until I realized that the thing is very loud that no one can get near it without ear protection. So the music is there so the noise that thing makes isn't too obvious. And a major flaw.",
"Cool tech, shite video. Soundtrack was unbearable.",

"Who sponsors these projects? There has to be absolutely zero return",
"> complex rotor\n\nYou´re gonna cry if you see a how a Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey works!",
"Most the videos I've seen on these seem to imply they are quieter but less energy efficient. I see pilots also always talking about 1/4 engine failure resulting in them crashing but I don't know if I see a massive difference on that compared to a normal helicopter if they use electric motors powered by a central gas powered turbine. Brushless Electrical motors operating in spec have incredible reliability.\n\nAlso not a ground effect vehicle either. Small time RC guys have made versions of this and got hundreds of feet of altitude.",
"If an airplane engine fails, under ideal conditions you can glide to a safe landing. If a helicopter engine fails, you've got autorotation. If this thing fails, you fall from the sky to your death.",
"This thing is never going to get made beyond some crappy prototypes.",
"In a helicopter, you auto-rotate to safely land upon engine failure. This seems like you're simply fucked if anything goes wrong with power or the \"wing\" system.",
"Why does that seem even MORE dangerous and scary to me then propellers? I'm just imagining every lathe accident i've ever seen where a loose bit of hair or clothing means instant death.",
"On the other hand, obstacles near a landing / takeoff area aren't going to be nearly the same issue as they are with a helicopter. Most of the helicopter crashes I see, they're because some power line or whatever gets swiped by the blades.",
"Here try this one. Plus the technology featured in this one is way more practical.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/XeSfvt9zFz0",
"Great, now we have more sophisticated flying mince grinders...",
"It's hoverboard scam, to get investors interested.",
"True, but that's more human error than any malfunctions. I'll stick with copters over this thing.",
"Imagine a TikTok version...",
"Nice proof of concept, cool technology, horrible video.",
"The OP posted another video that explained the system a little more, but it looks to me like anything that impeded air flow in any direction would absolutely destroy the loft & thrust of the blades. So I don’t think you could put anything, even a grill, around them. Maybe if you made them a lot larger to compensate for the lost efficiency.",
"Likewise with this design you could easily deploy a parachute, which isn't easy with helicopters due to the blades",
"It looks to me like those fans produce not just the lift, but all of the thrust to maneuver. So you really couldn’t impede the airflow in any direction without severely hampering the operation.",
"can you please also tell me the next shares to buy for massive profit and the lotto numbers / super bowl winners for the next 10 years in advance? because you can clearly see into the future",
"Its a common misconception that helicopters drop out of the sky upon an engine-out. Helicopters, just like fixed wing aircraft, can use their potential energy from their altitude to spin the rotors and execute a maneuver called autorotation to perform a safe landing. \n\n\nThis form of rotor can't generate any meaningful lift on power loss",
"This just seems unstable as fuck.",
"What’s the name of the type of fan/blade/wheel rotor thingy? I’ve never seen that before, I’d be curious to see where else it could be used.\n\nNm, had to read more of the comments: cyclorotor",
"and supported on both sides, that is a massive advantage, though maybe not enough to be practical",
"So basically existing drones but worse and with shitty music? How much did you have to pay to get this on the front page of r/videos?",
"needs work on stability. If it cannot maintain its place 100% it is, well I was going to say going no where but you get the gist.",
"of course you can. the only real danger is when a bird comes from in front of the vehicle so this is the only direction that has to be protected. all other direction can stay unprotected. the only directions you need to keep free are down and to the back but there is no danger of birdimpact and because of the airflow these areas are additionnally protected.",
"*OSHA has entered the chat*",
"it's 2021, use google to find information",
"Oh, so shielding one side and thus making the the airflow over the blades different from that direction won’t interfere. Got it. Makes you wonder why they haven’t done just that, then, if for no other reason than damn, those spinning rotors look dangerous! Perhaps it’s because it doesn’t work that way.",
"Sweet, sweet VC capital.",
"it is obvious that you have no clue what you are talking about. every jetengine has got a casing and the designers have to plan the airflow. in the 60ies and 70ies the created hoverrotors that have been surrounded by casings. you have no point and only discuss, because you are unable to admit that you are wrong.",
"There was a cut in filming right before it lifted off the ground. Even if the physics of this are correct, it makes me immediately suspicious of the quality of this vehicle.",
"That's interesting, hadn't heard about that. The more you know. Makes sense air moving through the blade would rotate the blades based on the pitch of the blade. I just never would have guessed it was a useful amount of lift.",
"Didn't they get the memo? Promos now all need to have some popular 80s/90s song cover that's all slow and dramatic. I can't believe they're still using the Inception BWARM.",
"Tail rotor on an R22 is about 3400RPM",
"Kind of curious about what niche this technology is trying to fill.",
"Dafuq with the music",
"This is the case for most of these small compact eVTOL aircraft. auto-rotation requires large propellers, with at least collective control. All quad/octo copter configurations of these eVTOL aircraft have no safety in case of motor failure, other than a parachute.\n\nThere are quite a few nice tilt-wing eVTOL designs, which would allow to land like a plane.",
"You would see a ton more helicopter crashes if it wasn't for auto-rotation -- unpowered glides. People assume helicopters turn into bricks when the power fails, but they are actually surprisingly safe after losing power.\n\nThis thing though... This looks like a brick without power.",

"Imagine how different this reddit comment section would look if this was being developed by Elon Musk though.",
"I don't think you grasp the concept of exponential technological increase.",
">\tin the 60ies and 70ies the created hoverrotors that have been surrounded by casings\n\nYou’re right! How could I forget about those, I literally see them hovering around ever day! Oh wait, no I don’t. Because they don’t work for shit. That’s why those little quadcopter toys, helicopters, and prop planes don’t shield their props, it impedes the airflow too much. But I’m sure regulators won’t have any problem with these whirring, exposed blenders sticking out of all four corners of this thing. \n\nAnd the fact that you’re comparing jet engines to this contraption tell me we don’t need to debate any further. Sorry you got sucked into this, are you an early investor about to lose all his money, or just another fanboy who bought off on a promo video about how this innovative company is going to throw all the rules of physics out the window?",
"I guess it is more compact than a standard drone equivalent. Could be useful for troop transport too, but it'd need additional capability. \n\nAs for an ambulance replacement... eeeehhh idk. Maybe for shock trauma medevac, but a lot of cases will still benefit from ground transport... unless they are automated flight and doors can be locked.\n\nMentally unstable patients are not chosen for medevac right now if it can be avoided, and thats for good reason.",

"I'm familiar with autorotating, I didn't realize it was that frequent, though. Is there something about this design that disallows it to autorotate as well? Is the required spin too fast, something about the aerodynamics, or...?",
"mmm good point - shame as it *looks* cool. Someone get an AMA with these guys to answer these questions...",
"The blades have a lot less mass and won’t be able to hold enough energy to transfer it back into downforce. \n\n(Am not a helicopter expert)",
"So I went a little down the rabbit hole with this, and found a couple of things:\n\n* When they ramp up to human-carrying sizes, they're prototyping a hybrid, combining those spinner blades and a classic helicopter blade ([link](https://evtol.news/CycloTech-compound-helicopter)). They state it will be able to autorotate.\n* It will have redundancy in their motors, and the fail rate of too many motors + rotors to lead to a crash will *supposedly* be less than a helicopter failing and the pilot being unable to successfully autorotate down.\n* As others have said, a parachute is more viable here than it is with a classic helicopter design.\n\nAt this point, I'm at a cautious \"wait and see\" status. It looks promising, but plenty of sales pitches do before it's in practice.",
"Wait they do? I knew they could change tilt, but I thought all of the blades were linked somehow and they all changed simultaneously for different lift values. \n\nWhy do they change each rotation? That’s kinda neat",
"Knowing something will fail isnt the same as knowing what will succeed. For example, scams like solar roadways or magic rebreathers or capturing water from humidity as a solution for water shortages all can never work just by design.",
"We've had flying cars. Every year or so some other joker puts out a video for one. But they're never going to be commercially viable, because we're dumb stupid panicky morons that can't even handle 2-axis travel without killing ourselves by the thousands each year, and now we'd be expected to be pilots?\n\nTo say nothing of aircraft, even small ones, requiring a decent amount of space for liftoff and landing. And none of these models even THINK about bad weather or emergency situations.",
"Until you realize this means exponential increases in the need for air traffic control, insurance, training, law enforcement, fueling, maintenance facilities, inspection....I can keep going.",
"Better video explaining the tech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96DKtu9DFow",
"They have already happened, we call them helicopters.",
"And can barely manage to stay stable in one direction. Imagine dealing with stupid hairless monkeys leaning over the side, fucking with their phones, or throwing things at their little sister in the back seat.",
"Yeah it's really cool. They change on each rotation so that the helicopter can manoeuvre. Say the helicopter is in a hover and it wants to move forward. The pilot moves a control called the cyclic which increases the angle of the blades when they're at the back of the helicopter*, creating more lift only at the back. This tilts the helicopter forward and it starts moving forward. This can be done in any direction by moving the blades at any part of their cycle (hence cyclic). \n\nIf the helicopter wants to go straight up, the pilot uses a control called the collective, which increases the angle and therefore the lift on all the blades at the same time (collectively), just as you're describing. This makes the helicopter go straight up.\n\nThere are some great videos of a cyclic in action on YouTube. I'll see if I can find a good one later and let you know if I do.\n\n*due to gyroscopic precession and other things it's more complicated than this.",
"Yes but the helicopter blades are cursed",
"Yes, because making predictions based on evidence is witchcraft.",
"As someone who works with wood chippers, those blades fucking terrify me. Look just like the teeth on a Vermeer.",
"I have a memory of seeing something like this in an old Popular Mechanics or Popular Science magazine from back in the 1950s 0r 1960s.",
"Oh lol I always thought the entire rotating group kinda tilted in the direction needed 😂 your way makes more sense",
"https://youtu.be/z1mGeyYzanc\n\nThis one is pretty good.",
"I would venture that the weak link in the design is the conrods and the points where they attach. Very fine instruments attached with slim attach points rotating at very high RPM, any slop or slack at all will be compounded pretty drastically, and slop/slack can be introduced over time. I'm just hypothesizing in fairness, but you could imagine what happens to the whole system if you lose a single conrod.",
"Seems like it needs a lot more power and significantly more moving parts, just for the sake of using vertical movement on the blades. I don't see any point.",
"You can literally see it won't work by design. The rotors look absurdly heavy and ridiculously complex to maintain. Even if it had NASA's budget and engineers I doubt this will go anywhere, they'll just come to the conclusion that it's far too inefficient for continued development beyond a cool proof of concept.",
"well. tough, shits flying. can always wait for material science to advance composite materials and redesign rotors to further ease of maintenance. one redditor screaming \"it looks like shit and you should feel bad for desinging that\" is not gonna advance humanity in the slightest. \n\nthose guys in OPs video do",
"This is cool and all but what happens during a power failure to one of the blades? In both helicopters and airplanes a pilot can safely land the plane without engine power. Do these things just fall out of the sky if a bird gets sucked into one of the blades?",
"Dude, it's flying 2 feet off the ground in a closed spaced with a wire attached to it from the ceiling. \n\nYou should watch [this guy](https://www.youtube.com/c/MustardChannel/videos), he goes over failed aviation projects. There are projects that have made far more progress than CycloTech in terms of flying higher and faster, and with bigger backings, and yet they get cancelled for similar reasons - shit's too heavy or too costly to maintain. The Cyclotech has dead end written all over it.",
"that looks very interesting thank you for the recommendation!",
"from now on i will call you mother, because my mother also has got no clue but tries to discuss about things with stupid arguments. first of all, a lot of drones have got shielded rotors. i got one here at home. so it does not impede the airflow in the directions that are relevant, earth is not flat and the moonlanding is not a hoax. second: lots of planes have got vectorized airflow. the f35 has got an engineouttake you can turn 90 degrees to make it vtol. this does not impede the airflow. it is all a question of engineering, but this is something that is impossible for you to understand, because it is obvious that you instead of listening to your math and science teachers have only watched spongebob videos on your smartphone.\n\noh, and btw.\n\n>And the fact that you’re comparing jet engines to this contraption\n\nthis shows that you are not even able to read correctly. it was only about the casing and the airflow inside the jetengine, not the jetengine itself. find a sixyearold who can explain it to you. bye mother.",
"Keep coping.",
"Not only that but the blades themselves at cruising rpm carry an immense amount of kinetic energy. So even after losing engine power those rotors keep on spinning for a couple of minutes, gradually slowing down. Now if you change the pitch of the blades you can start trading potential gravitational energy (by going down) for kinetic energy. \n\nThe air rushing through your blades in the other direction speeds up the RPM again. Then when you get close to the ground you can trade in the other direction again, lose RPM but gain some altitude.\n\nAnd this is why a helicopter, as long as it has some altitude and some RPM in it's blades can do a very safe and controlled landing.\n\nIn fact these emergency helicopter landings have better survival stats then fixed wing who always need to find a proper emergency landing strip and even then they usually come in with to little or to much speed and a lot less control then if the engine is still running. \n\nA helicopter can just go straight at a controlled descent rate, putting more and more rpm in it's blades. Then slow the descent down, even gain a little altitude again and put er down easy peasy. \n\nHowever there is a helicopter dead cone. If you are either not going fast enough or not have enough altitude, autorotation will not save you. It's called the [helicopter height–velocity diagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_height%E2%80%93velocity_diagram). This is why a proper take off for a heli is to gain enough forward speed first before going up.",
"These fall into general air taxi R&D (and patents). Refer to the Advanced Air Mobility work at [NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/aam) and the [FAA](https://www.faa.gov/uas/advanced_operations/urban_air_mobility/). It's expected we'll see widespread use of drones and air taxis in the future, so companies are building out designs and plans for this to capture future marketshare. Some of these designs are not immediately practical, but most industries plan to have solid state batteries in 2030. At that point electric VTOL will be relatively cheap to run. The hub networks must be built and the regulation must be in place before that point.",
"It's hypothetically possible.. but color me skeptical. There are a lot of factors that go into making helicopters passively safe. For example, the mechanical link between the main rotor and the tail rotor is required. \n\nThe test in this video does not impress me in the slightest. Take this up to 5k feet, cut the power, and land it. Then I'll take it seriously.",
"Oh okay thanks! That’s really interesting.",
"R22 have a delta-hinge on the tail rotor, which causes pitch to change as it rotates. Here's a video that explains it.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYGvZ5XCwV0",
"They'll market it as a people mover for hype but it's more likely to be adopted for niche drone use if it provides any substantial benefit.",
"It looks like 4 air raid sirens attached to a frame.Are they going for loudest flying object?",
"If it's not wood burning, is it even worth having?",
"Well that’s nifty.",
"Steam powah!",
"Neat, but I fail to see any practical uses for it",
"I've never seen this kind of rotor before despite it apparently being around for a long time. That's really cool.",
"I bet it's loud af.",
"*To whomever made this video.*\nPlease do know that music is also a form of communication. May be the technology shown in this video is revolutionary. But the intent is miscommunicated with the choice of music giving the sense of overemphasizing something.\n\nIn my humble opinion what makes a great promo that could make people excited for what you want to show are\n\n- A good choice of visuals\n- A good choice of words (written/vocal)\n- A good choice of music\n- A good choice of length and timing\n\nGood luck for the next one :)",
"That's more along the lines I was thinking, but I guess we'll see... or never see it again. lol",
"Hey they need to lure military funding somehow and epic combat music is the way to go.",
"Sweet, they put tabletop tower fans on a bike frame.",
"That's the music you hear during a video game the moment your stealth infiltration plans go up in smoke.",
"Anybody else notice that sneaky cut between the spin-up and lift-off?",
"You're going to need a minimum clearance with the floor then. Otherwise there would be no time to deploy the parachute. The cyclotech needs to be high enough that if it fails you can bale out and then deploy chute. Otherwise you deploy chute and you'll still be going fast and possibly die.",
"Scale these down, put them on a skateboard, and we have finally achieved a potentially deadly version of Back to the Future.",
"Cool tech but please no, we JUST started moving towards quieter vehicles via electrification. The last thing I want is a bunch of rich folks flying above in these stupid loud things.",
"So i had to look up why this thing is so special. Basicly is it gives you the control of a quad copter but without some of the limitations. All 4 rotors are driven at a constant speed by 1 powerplant and the rotors have elaborate variable pitch blades it can vary the thrust vector of each rotor through 180°\n\nSo with a multirotor craft all of their control authority comes from varying the speed of the rotors independently. So your stuck with electric motors because nothing else gives fine enough control.\n\nThis creates a scalability problem as you get bigger you need a bigger heavier motor for each rotor.\nBigger heavyer batteries to rin them. And as your rotors get bigger their is more rotational inertia so ya cant vary the speed as effectivly. The net result is your big quad is sluggish and short ranged.\n\nWith this system you can have one motor be it a turboshaft or a electric running all 4 rotors and still have them vector independently and get some od the same fine control. As a bonus with wings attached this could transition to and from horizontal flight without needing to add another prop and you get thrust reversal.",
"\nSure if relying on a drogue chute to deploy a larger one… it takes some distance to fully deploy. People use this method when jumping out of planes because it’s simply cheaper. But:\n\nWith compressed gas cans you can make a nearly instant balloon (like an airbag but with helium) to slow a fall or deploy a chute much more quickly.",
"> solar roadways \n\nThat's solar *freaking* roadways to you!",
"I guess you could go for that. If anyone would be buying this contraption they would likely have the money for the extra expense of the compressed gas chute. They could probably even develop a device that makes an instant balloon around a person like the compressed gas helmets but on a larger scale.",
"Another thing they could do: simply include more motor/rotors for redundancy. If one goes out & you have six evenly spaced it should be able to compensate.",
"Just blast the music even louder to loose hearing beforehand.",
"\"Daily commute\". Get the fuck out of here. Fuck that I don't want a bunch of these noisy ass low flying things just fly over my house. Especially if they are in every Dick and Janes driveway. They ain't gonna do a pre flight check every morning when they are late to work. \n\nMight as well kill all the birds because you'll have to have a Falcon Handler every hundred yards, because the sparrow will destroy the turbine. Then even if you had a falcon handler eventually the Ravens are gonna stand for it and fuck their shit up.",
"I can answer that question for you, they are trying to make a helicopter except it is way more dangerous and will crash if any of the 4 rotors go out and can't autorotation in the event of engine failure. Basically this is a fools errand.",
"Ahaha that's epic!",
"I see a lot of mangled arms in the future.",
"Awesome!",
"It's worse, \"air taxi\" companies have managed to secure funding from the government (not US). It's such a fraud",
"Most of these craft are so light they can use parachutes like a lot of modern small fixed wing aircraft.",
"because personal, safe transport already exists, it's called helicopter and already you can't take off and land wherever you please. Helicopters aren't competing for medium distance travel for anyone except tossers and millionaires\n\nThey are building a nicer helicopter.\n\nIt's like I'm selling you that the future of homeownership is better bunkers. Sure, it's a good concept, but people already don't want to live in bunkers",
"> And cheaper,\n\nmaybe. All promises for now. Also I haven't had the pleasure of listening to any of these and calling them \"less noisy\" than a helicopter. Electric manned flight remains a challenge, to say nothing of battery range. Most of them openly admit that current battery tech isn't capable of powering these machines, and count on future tech to save them. All in all I support their futuristic and inventive ideas but I'd rather see ambitious VCs back this kind of project than my tax dollar",
"Alright maybe the noise is a clear plus for these. I'm still not sold on the Idea of them, but I don't have to be.",
"If those blades hit the ground it would probably take off!"

"The most interesting thing about Alex Jones, in my opinion, is the massive difference between where he is currently and his earliest work in his career. AJ was initially striving towards being a real whistleblower, not the stay-at-home armchair activist kind of conspiracy theorists who infest the internet and risk nothing, the kind who actually risk everything and really put a spotlight onto shady business.\n\nThe thing that initially got him famous was his infiltration of Bohemian Grove to film a super weird ceremony in which a human being appears to be ritualistically sacrificed and murdered, which involved the attendance of a lot of very big names in government and business at the time. He then proceeded to confront them about it and even got some of the most bizarre live television interviews I've ever seen with old rich white dudes telling him off for \"violating the sanctity of the ceremony\" and other ridiculous things. His career continued like that for almost a full year before he decided to settle down into a studio and join the arm-chair-activist conspiracy theorists.\n\nDon't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to promote Alex Jones in the least, I don't think what he does is healthy for anyone other than his sponsors, but I do think it's actually really creepy how quickly his career turned 180 and stopped being about actual whistleblower work and how quickly it devolved from evidence based reporting into the hellscape of hearsay and conjecture that is the world of conspiracy theory.",

The reason one might want to solve so early is to lock in earnings, as spinning results in an increase is the probabilty that one might lose a turn, go bankrupt, or fail to guess correctly.

"If only the trains in the UK would bloody show up on time",
"The voice of a generation, guys an actual social genius.",
"Or at all",
"I love what this guy does: https://youtu.be/3e-kYxskc10",
"David Mitchell is basic Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes at this point and yet it’s kind of awesome and I’m absolutely on board with it",
"100% victim to the \"pretend you've forgotten something\" pantomime when in reality I'm just stupid and am walking the wrong way.\n\nThrow hands up in the air, shake my head whilst rubbing my forehead pensively as I'm doing an about face to walk completely the opposite way because I literally forgot where I was going.",
"We do it as a way of communicating with strangers. In his train example, he's signaling that his missing the train is bad, but not so bad that he needs assistance. \nWith the phone, it's signaling that he's turning around because of a personal reason, not because he spotted the danger or some other reasons those around him need to be concerned with.\n\nWe're social animals, and we're wired to communicate. We cry and yell when in distress so others can be aware of it, and we're also wired to be concerned when we see someone in distress.",
"Poor guy looks like he's had a horrible string of bad luck lol",
"When I'm running for a train I mime looking at my watch. I don't even wear watches.",
"I see people do this all the time and it's always seemed odd to me and just obvious, but I guess there's actually a reason. I personally just swear in my head a bit for being late and take a seat and wait for the next bus or whatever.",
"On my way to work on the street just outside my house. Realize I forgot my work lunch at home.\n\n2 options:\n\n1) Just turn around, go back inside and get my lunch.\n\n2) Stop, lift up my phone, pretend it says something incredibly worrisome, go back inside and get my lunch.",
"It's not putting on a play, it's actually being frustrated, and looking for empathy. I guess the truth just isn't as funny.",
"\"oh dear god, I hope its all of us\"",
"Anyone know if psychopaths do this or not?",
"These videos are about ten years old, too. I get the impression that he's actually mellowed somewhat in his forties and has leaned away a little from the \"irritable know-it-all\" persona that defined his *Peep Show* era.",
"Good point.",
"Apart from the social aspect, there's also the venting/coping aspect: You've expected one thing and got another one. Doing these mimes, or just cursing loudly or doing other gestures are ways to make an surprisingly unpleasant situation a little less unpleasant. It's easier to do something than just silently accept your fate.",
"*Butter the toast. Eat the toast. Shit the toast. God, life's relentless.*",
"I just don't want to look suspicious, especially when there is a woman alone nearby.",
"How can someone be so attuned to social behaviours yet so socially awkward at the same time? A paradox of a man.",
"Nah let it rest. It had a good run. Nobody wants to watch a show about two 50 year olds living together.",
"What's the context lf this clip, though? Were they filming for a GV show/movie and he just happened to ruin the take?",
"The fear of humiliation and banishment from the tribe outweighs the fear of death.",
"People simply really do care what others think about them. So when they do something potentially embarrassing in public, the first instinct is to try to play it off.",
"Ever since I first saw this posted here two years ago I stopped patting my pockets before turning around whenever I forget something.",
"They were filming the lady trying to pantomime missing the train only for the guy to turn up and show everyone how it should be done.",
"The one time you'll be glad the trains are late is when you're also late.",
"Or as I call it, the Megabus experience.",
"Saw someone the other day walk past a pile of stinking rubbish, then just put one finger under their nose and tut.\n\nBro it's rubbish it stinks, we all know it stinks, there's no need to signal to passers by that you're appalled by the smell of rubbish. One finger doesn't block the smell, it's a pure social signal to say \"I do not enjoy the smell of rubbish\"",
"Well I'm not a psychopath, but I do have asperger's syndrome and I don't do these things. Most of the time I pay no attention to other people around me or really care what they might think of things.",
"Laughing is a lot like this. When you read something you find genuinely amusing on the internet you *may* laugh out loud, but you probably don't. Often just a little snort of air out your nose is all you do. Laughing is much more natural when other people are around.",
"I just do it and then remember this video and wish I hadn't done it.",
"oh my god I never knew that, that's hilarious",
"Laughter evolved the same way. When something bad, or just unexpected happened, people far away would hear it, and then need to decide if they should come running or not. Laughter was a way for a witness to signal that the sudden occurrence wasn't a bad thing to people who didn't witness it. It's why we laugh when we're caught off guard, but not by something scary. Or when we laugh at a slapstick comedy, because we know no one's actually getting hurt. It's why sudden revelations in comedy are funny, because they're completely unexpected, but entirely harmless.",
"What would you have done before having a phone?",
"The Odd Couple enters the chat.",
"Love David Mitchell, and this is entertaining, but it seems like an odd repost to suddenly be on the front page again. Did something happen?",
"Something I do when there is a store or resultant I wanna go to and I see it's closed I pretend that I didn't really wanna go in, I was just passing by and noticed it was closed. I really wanted to go the place next to it lmao\n\n\"Time and effort into these little dumb shows design to tell people who aren't looking and wouldn't care if they did things they already know\"\n\naint that the truth.",
"Looking at a piece of clothing in a store and then reading the price tag...so you pretend to see how it looks on you instead of just leaving it there.",
"Yeah I don't want people to think I'm a dickhead who doesn't know where he's going!",
"Delivery driver here. I will do this in my truck if I make a wrong turn. Even on a quiet side street with no one watching I still find myself huffing and tossing my hands up in exasperation.",
"I think about this kind of shit all the time. I heard on Radiolab long ago that some primates make laughter type sounds when they are play fighting but not when actually fighting. It's a way to communicate \"this isn't dangerous\".",
"I just realized that's probably why it feels so good to laugh. It's a relief. Our central nervous system calms down when we laugh or hear laughter. Wow.",
"I don't do that. I might be a psychopath.",
"Put your hand behind your earlobe and turn your ear to the sky like you're getting a message from god.",
"My experience with them is that they have so much shame they can't begin to process it. I think that embarrassment would just be another piece of shame thrown on top of the heap. Unprocessible",
"Sorry it's a joke but I do find it funny that in the video of the guy missing the train there is a lady also apparently running to catch her train.",
"You've raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!",
"I Feel for this guy",
"Start frantically search through my pockets and then turn around.",
"It’s amazing how much Elijah Wood looks like James McAvoy.",
"Like, just two randos trying to film a funny clip?",
"I can't relate to a single thing he said. Missed a train? Sigh and go find a place to sit. Forgot the phone? Do exactly as he described in the first \"unobserved\" example, although I would check my jeans pockets first because more other than not it's actually right there.",
"Andy Rooney at 50.",
"I'd feel incredibly silly if I didn't pat my pockets thinking I forgot the phone only to come back home and realize it was there all along. Happens a lot to me that I have to double check because I simply can't feel whether the thin light smartphone is even in my pocket, and usually turns out it's there all along and I just got so used to its weight and feeling that my mind filtered it out.",
"Same here. I just stop and wait. Never occurred to me to act or anything",
"A doctor I used to work with did this as a polite way of silently saying \"Cool story, but I have a schedule here\".\n\nThe fact that he never wore a watch made it a bit amusing, but we all knew the social gesture.",
"> and there were a lot of school children on the bus, so the bus drove slower than usual\n\nThat's some fucking nonsense tho",
"I don't pat my pockets out of some need to send a social signal. I pat my pockets because that is where I keep my phone and I can't be sure if I've forgotten it without checking. So a quick pat, which usually indicates I haven't forgotten my phone, and then I can either turn around or continue on.",
"He calls both reactions to missing a train “acting”, as if there’s no truly authentic way to react to missing a train.",
"\"helvette! jävlar!\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\nbasically \"fuck! goddamnit!\". literally \"hell! devils!\". it's swedish btw.",
"It sounds like helvete, and jævla/Jävlar, it does mean hell and devil. Not sure if that's swedish, norwegian, or danish in the video.",
"I think this has interesting interplay with both religious upbringings and the concept of a judgmental, omniscient god as well as with upbringings in a surveillance state.",
"That's how you know its a 1st world country, here in Mexico the driver would go even faster and skip a couple of red lights, I've jumped out of a slow moving bus a couple of times for this exact reason",
"I do this, but just in case a cute girl is looking, because that's how pathetic I am",
"I do even more, because that's what people do",
"Try using the MTA.",
">It's a way to communicate \"this isn't dangerous\".\n\nMaybe that's why a character like the Joker seems so terrifying and deranged, subverting what's supposed to be an all-clear signal.",
"racist",
"I don't do that either and I somehow get pissed if people act like it's the end of the world. Someone please explain why I feel like that.",
"I used to go on walking straight on, even if I knew I've forgotten something, because I was ashamed somebody would think I'm crazy for suddenly turning around.\n\nNow, I don't do that anymore. Instead I ralish in the opportunity to kind of be a martyr in the name of reality as opposed to social norms. Like - when somebody sees me turning around they will think I'm stupid, like all great great minds are misunderstood by the masses that only try to conform to their norms without reason.\n\nI don't know if that's better.",
"chad",
"*thumps GPS because clearly it is the culprit here*",
"In a first world country a school bus driver is not picking up random adults and giving them rides, like at all and if it is a public bus the driver is not changing driving behavior in any noticeable way.\n\nI feel much better now",
"…because you are a psychopath, duh!\n\nDo psychopaths not read or something?",
"Gotta know the rules to proper break them",

"There are so many better walks to do in Toronto with the variety of neighborhoods and diversity in this city, why this one?",
"similar, when i was in 9th grade (uhhhh....im 40 now ... if that helps) we had a yearly art class bus trip to toronto where they would drop us off downtown and we were supposed to goto some museums but instead we went to the arcades, big slice and bought some (awful) fake ids.\n\neven at the time of the trip i thought \"is this a safe and good idea?\". i doubt they'd allow it now adays.",

"I'm no expert on color grading or cinematography., but dabble in video a bit. It's hard to explain in really simple terms. Cameras are capturing light through a (usually) spherical lens onto film or a digital sensor. It's not a perfect recreation of reality to start with, and it's never going to be the same as your eye. So the common approach is to use the camera to give you hyper realism, by deciding what subject to shoot and how to frame them, as well as how to light them and process the footage. This requires understanding your lighting setup, frame rate, and how to frame things on screen. Movies and TV shows often have a lot of care put into this, even when it is not obvious. But you see way less of that in reality TV or local news stuff, so it has a really different feel. Like they just captured it and started broadcasting it out. Which is how this looks, like it was just slapped together. Most may not be informed enough to articulate it, but the absence of the craft can be immediately apparent to even the average consumer.",

There are a lot of different kind of lenses and they tend to get quite expensive when we get to making feature films. Attached to the lens is the camera, which does have some impact but these days it is not an excuse anymore; a lot of movies are shot with quite modest cameras, specially when it comes to action scenes. 1000$ will get you a DSLR that can do \"hollywood\" quality when combined with the right operator..

"Higher bandwidth doesn't require better SNR... Every signal in any range of frequencies functions better with higher SNR, but it's not like being 30db off the noise floor gives you twice as much bandwidth as 27db. You can't change the rate of phase changes, and the measurement of phase by the receiver, by having a higher SNR.\n\nI'm not sure what \"directional\" means, but directivity is the ability to shape a beam. A tighter beamwidth gives you a stronger signal in a smaller area, but again... Nothing to do with data transmission outside of the fact that higher frequency beams naturally have smaller beamwidths. And collecting area, which is just another way of saying antenna gain, is only going to help your SNR, not your bandwidth.\n\nIridium Next is a satellite constellation that still operates in L-Band. The only antennas you'll see are on the actual satellite itself because ground terminals and phones are still the primary chassis. If you have a link that shows otherwise I'd love to see it.",

Sort of like a crappy toy included with kids cereal. The toy isn’t worth buying alone, but incentivizes kids to get like Lucky Charms over Apple Jacks. Over time, American theaters largely dropped the double feature, but the term has remained as a descriptor for poorly financed schlock that often winds up in the bargain bin section of Walmart movies.",

"Underrated movie, it’s a classic to me.",
"What was that thread on r/askreddit several weeks ago about movies that were parodies, self aware, and amazing in their own right?",
"It's almost like Office Space, but it has a smaller subset of the population that knows the inner workings of fandom. That said, this movie would have done better coming out in this day and age, kids and young adults totally get fandom these days.",

"Stop using this word.\n\nIt's not underrated, it's quoted all the time, it is loved by everyone. It was a box office success, critics liked it, it got plenty awards. It was voted as 7th best Star Trek movie by Star Trek fans.\n\nPatrick Stewart said \"\\[...\\]Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said \"You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.\" And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did \\[...\\]\".\n\nIt is many things, but it is not and never was underrated.\n\nEvery film older than 3 years someone mentions here is \"underrated\" now as if this word is going to be outlawed next year and has to be used as much as possible until then.",

"Best Star Trek movie along with Master and Commander.",
"My biggest issue with this scene though is that it's scraping on the main body of the ship... like how can that happen if there's a \"wing\" that sticks way out from there? The wing should have been sheared off before it could scrape the body.",
"Sam Rockwell had a small support role in this movie and honestly made it all the more hilarious.\n\nWhile everyone is just sort of rolling with the situation, his character of Guy is the voice of common sense and self-awareness.\n\n\"HEY!

"So - it's not like a car on a road, it's more like a ship in a dock. Different physics, so that's one factor. Another is that if you look at the 'ship bay' on either side the middle is the most narrow passage with more room above and below. The last being that the wings and engine are below the nose of the ship, and the nose is angled which could leave enough room that the sides of the ship would be clear of the scraping.\n\nUnderstand, it's not perfect logic and leaves room for error, but think it gives enough flexibility to be plausible.",
"IMO this movie is like “The Princess Bride” of the 1990s. It’s *that* level of enjoyable, quotable, and rewatchable.",
"It works because it takes the premise of the original but just adds a twist. The movie is basically “what if the cast of Star Trek were suddenly thrust into the actual sci fi scenario with aliens who thought they weren’t actors?”\n\nGod-awful parodies like Meet the Spartans are like “ok it’s 300 but they’re all stupid and horny and gross and we’ll just reference pop culture a lot.” So all the jokes are immature and none of the significance of the source material remains.",

"Ha! It's strange, I often think of Master and Commander as Star Trek set in the past. They're totally unrelated and yet have that familiar feel. I think it's because M&C didn't shy away from exploration being an important part of the movie, as well as the appealing leadership styles of both captains. You could easily take the plot of M&C and plug it into Star Trek.",

"Look at 1:59. The shape of the hanger and the wings are visible, angling upwards, ending almost at the same height as the cockpit, which you can see at 2:12. There's no way the nose is hitting before the wings. At 2:39 you can see the nose scraping and you can see where the wing starts on the other side.

"Great film - Alan Rickman at his best, Tim Allen (almost) fresh off of Home Improvement, it was a great allegory for Hollywood and some of Tims fame in general. Star Trek too.\n\nMy favourite ancedote about the film is the following, from Patrick Stewart\n\n>I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant.\n\n> No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans. \n\nhttps://www.snopes.com/fact-check/patrick-stewart-on-galaxy-quest/",

I think we went through a few movies of him not enjoying them, while I still thought, \"Ok, I just made bad choices, everyone has different tastes.\"\n\n\nIt finally clicked after showing him Blade Runner (Director's Cut), and him telling me it was one of the worst movie he's ever seen, that I finally got it.",

"How is it the nose of the ship scrapes the side of the space dock but the \"wings\" do not get ripped off?",
"While I like the humor in this scene, I always thought they could have done \\*exactly\\* the same joke without the illogical contradictory geometry, by just having the engine nacelle be the part that scrapes the side instead of the nose being the part that scrapes the side. It would be the exact same joke, but without the weird violation of geometry that always sort of takes me out of the scene.",
"Sounds like a truly fun job. An intern was working for us, back around 97, proposed we open a new line of business doing computer animations.

">That Never Needs To Be Charged\n\ntheres no way this isnt clickbait/misleading as hell",
"Seems way too unique to get major adoption. Does make me wonder why we don't slap solar panels on hybrids though. Just to supplement the battery a bit more.",
"Every ev car should have solar panels it's like built in power back up support. I know it's tiny amount of solar power but the more they add it, the more solar tech will get improved.",
"It's a neat car but \"never needs to be charged\" is a little misleading. If it sits in the sun all day and you drive less than 40 miles per day then it will never need to be charged. That's also assuming you are getting the maximum efficiency from the panels on the car. I'm gonna guess that the 40 miles is an absolute best case scenario and 30 is probably closer to what you can expect. This is speculation of course but the manufacturer is most likely using the best case scenario they have on record for their numbers.\n\nI suppose if you live in a downtown area then that's not unheard of. If you live outside the city and commute to the city to work like a lot of people do, then you will probably exceed the 40 miles.\n\nI think this is for people that have a lot of disposable income and want to add another weird/cool toy to their collection and won't make it past a few thousand sales.",
"I think some do have some panels to help charge the internal battery used to power the car's electronics.",
"I wonder how hard it is to replace a flat.",
"It would be great for my family. We live in a small town, wife's office is 3 blocks away, but works from home my commute is 6 miles round trip, our kids schools are all with 2 miles.",
"Yup. Vastly, *vastly* more efficient to just put solar panels on the roof of your garage. Or, and maybe I'm crazy here, have an actual solar power plant and have people just charge off of the grid.\n\nMore efficient at every level, from generation, to storage, to weight and energy economy for the car.",
"Yeah, a small panel to prevent a completely dead battery is a great idea, but economies and efficiencies of scale just ensure that it's *always* more effective to have a solar plant somewhere and just charge off the grid, than to try to have the car run off a very tiny, very inefficient solar panel, and make the car heavier and less efficient by making it carry it.",
"That's actually super respectable. Don't think in terms of how many days it takes to charge the dead battery with solar.\n\nMy daily commute is only about 10 miles round trip. I know many people have way longer commutes, but I can't speak for them. To account for any other driving I might do lets go crazy and double that. 20 miles a day. But that's only 5 days a week. So 100 miles weekly. Even if I'm only getting 20 miles a day of charge, I'm still under my 140 mile weekly budget.\n\nBut lets say we're really sub-optimal. I'm only getting 10 miles of charge a day. I'd be losing 30 miles of charge a week. But if the battery has 1000 miles of charge on it then it will hold out for about 8 months. So I just have to plug it in once every few months to keep it topped off and I'm golden.",
"I don't have a garage. Plugging a car in daily is just not an option for me. But I do have a sunny parking lot.",
"It has three wheels deliberately to be classified as a motorcycle, to avoid all the safety regulations for cars. Looks like a death trap to me.",
"The problem is that the surface area of a car is just too small for this to be a big factor unless you also make the car super efficient (weight, aerodynamic etc).\n\nYou can estimate this. A car is appox 5x2m so \\~10m\\^2 surface (which is optimistic due to there also being windows etc.). The solar constant (amount of energy in sunlight per area) is about 1.3kW/m\\^2 and solar cells are maybe 20% efficient. So under optimal conditions you get about 2.6kW of charging. Which would only apply if the sun is prefectly positioned. Lets make the probably still very optimistic assumption that you get 1kW average over 12h.\n\nEVs have 50-100kWh batteries so you get like 12-24% of a charge per day if you live in a super sunny place that has no weather and make all the optimistic assumptions above. I wouldn't be surprised if the real value is 5% or less.\n\nIn a lot of places with meh weather I wouldn't be surprised if the extra weight you'd incur with solar panels would end up being a net loss most of the time.\n\nAs other people said. Just put the panels in a place that offers more area and is better positioned such as a roof.",
"> Vastly, vastly more efficient to just put solar panels on the roof of your garage.\n\nThat doesn't do you any good if your parked at a campsite, or at work, or the sport stadium. Solar panels don't weigh anything, so coating an electric vehicle with them makes a lot of sense.",

"Ya just can't have a garage or covered parking.",
"Those things probably come of pretty damn easily and it probably gives you more access than working inside a wheelwell would. My thinking is that they're hinged either at the front or the back of the wheel and held in place with a cotter pin or something like that.\n\nEdit: I just looked at the video again, probably not hinged. It's probably a cotter pin at the front and back and it lifts off.\n\nThe one in the back is probably a bit more trouble.",

"I'm biased, because I've got a preorder for this car...but it's a honeycomb composite body and has tested WAY above industry standards for safety, and especially roof crush strength.",
"Our main vehicle is driven about twice a week, and just to do errands. Never far. Our daughter drives about 20 miles a day. We really don't do much driving. I think we put less than 1,000 miles on the car in the last year.",
"The issue with this, even with smaller cars, is that solar is remarkably inefficient when pushing a regular-shaped car. Aptera designed a super-aerodynamic, light car, and so the solar makes more sense.",
"I think this is fine, and the title just needs a little more qualification. It's entirely possible some people wouldn't need to charge, while other would. I'm all for using more solar, because while electric vehicles like Telsa are great, they still need power, which could easily be a waste producing power plant.\n\nI always wondered. Why not put some small \"windmills\" on these cars? Is it not worth the drag? Why not try to input every little bit of power you can? Why can't it charge from its movement. I'm sure this has all been thought of, but I'd like to talk to an engineer to find out the issues.",
"I also wouldn't want to drive it in heavy wind conditions. It would end up in a ditch in no time. \n\nCool concept, but not very practical in real life. \n \nAs to solar charging a car: a car covered in solar panels would only realistically charge the car battery a few percent a day.",

"What's up with Leno's pronunciation? It sounds like his tongue is permanently swollen or something",

"Even a small amount of recharging seems beneficial to me. Unless the weight of the solar panels costs you more mileage than you gain from recharging.\n\nIn a hybrid a little recharging means the engine doesn't have to run quite as often. Saving you gas mileage and cutting pollution.\n\nIn an electric it might cut down on how often you have to plug the thing in. And the electricity is definitely clean. Not coming from coal plants or whatever.",

"> The second law of thermodynamics states that in a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems never decreases. Another form of the statement is that heat does not spontaneously pass from a colder body to a warmer body. \n\nWhen you put a windmill on a car. The energy you'd gain from the windmill would be less than the energy it took to turn the windmill.",
"All I know is, one time I went to the doctor after I rolled a joint and he just yelled at me, saying \"you can't smoke that in here!\"",
"I figured as much, but I wasn't sure if this was still the case with another power source actually moving the car. Obviously you couldn't have a windmill care, but I thought that solar was the initial source, this would just be extra power.",

"Wow, the Aptera is still around? They were trying to get their vehicle mass produced 10 years ago and then they sort of fell out of the public eye.

"I'm still skeptical not that I know any better, I'd like to hear from someone who knows solar panels/physics tell me if the numbers sound exaggerated or feasible.\n\nI *want* to believe, but so many times over the years we've seen charlatans solar snake oil.",
"Speaking of Elon, it looked like the Dash/Steering/Screen we're pulled right out of a Model 3, and when they passed over the back, it looked like a Tesla charge port on it.\n\nI wonder if there's any relation there.",
"They were not for a while. They reincorporated two years ago after winding down.",
">average american commute is 31 miles a day\n\nNo, it isn't and yes it is. The problem with that number is that it is an average and not median, it does not have any information about distribution but is just pure mean. Most have less than that but there are a sizable portion that have +50miles. They skew the averages heavily. You have 9 people with 10 miles and one with 100.... the average is 19 miles, which is nowhere close to what the majority of the commuters have. Median would of course be 10miles. I looked at one state, randomly: South Dakota has median of 9.6 and average of 16.6. \n\nHalf of people have 30 minutes or more. 10% have less than 10 minutes. So.. in this case electric vehicles, like this, would cover the needs for half of the people. It would be extremely stupid to plan for just the average and then apply those rules universally. What is worrying is that overall commute distance have increased, without any changes in planning, like increasing public transportation.",
"All electric cars are stupid, i can't use this to take my family of five and a boat trailer to Lake Tahoe from NYC.",
"EE here and based on the things i see without watching the video... just about feasible but you do require full sunlight, and hours of time. Leaving it outside while you work... it'll probably does not need to top up the charge every now and then from the grid. But that means we are not moving fast.... If the commute has highway speeds, it won't be enough. It is not magnitudes of order off but i have my doubts too, a lot depends on the terrain and conditions, how fast for how long we need to move. \n\n\nedit: ok, 700w worth of panels, they say that at direct sunlight, full day and it is 40 miles range. Sounds feasible, it has to be thought more as a trickle charger that makes it more convenient to use but is not by any means fully solar panel charging.",
"would have been super embarrassing if something fell off. I am surprised they used the clip though.",
"I do wish mine had a towing rating though. The id.5 is looking good for that. I'd like to be able to tow a boat to a lake; it's almost here.",
"We are nearing the threshold where EVs of different type are more fitting to the variety of needs. They are already there for city commuters but not yet for longer distances. But.. there is hope, Li-S batteries quite recently saw another breakthrough, 1000 charging cycles. Their energy density is 2-4 times more than Li-Ion (per weight) and they don't require cobalt or nickel. The only real hurdle was the charging cycle and anode/cathode deterioration but adding sugar solved the latter, and since that was the limit for charging cycles... yeah... i know.. sounds too simple of a solution. But who thinks of adding saccharine to something like batteries.\n\nI bought a Ebike this summer and i absolutely love it. Range is reasonably about 10 miles, not because of batteries they last easily up to 30-40 even with a smallish battery.. It is about being exposed to elements and road conditions, path availability, time constraints etc. You arrive at your destination refreshed, not sweaty but like you had leisurely walked a mile or two. Except there is no stress on your joints, and you roll half the time. So like walking a mile and sitting down on a comfy bar chair every 20 seconds. Even in headwind it is just light exercise, could not recommend it more. Of course, local bike infra matters, i am from Finland, i'm showered with lots of good options (but also rain... lots of rain but that is just a case of dressing properly, \"there is no bad weather, there are only wrong kind of clothes\" is the local saying).",
"I'm on top of the tech. The problem is only part energy density. The other part is how fast you can add energy. If you get 4x the energy density but it takes 4 hours to charge with a super charger, people are still going to have issues.",
"Less of a problem for most, because if you are going to need a full charge you most likely have planned for the trip and have thought about the time it takes for charging. You don't make 1000 mile trips out of whim. Higher energy density also means less batteries overall, less weight and more efficiency.\n\nEVs and trip planning will be tied together for a quite a long time but at least it is right way around, longest distance require most planning and not so that you have to plan for <100miles roundtrip, which can easily happen. Li-S are bigger in volume, which would suggest that when replacing Li-Ion to existing frames you can maybe double the range.\n\nI would not count out hybrid batteries, with fast charging primary and long lasting secondary. And no, i'm not including super capacitors, i don't think those will ever be a solution. Electrostatic is so different realm from electrochemistry.",
"> super capacitors, i don't think those will ever be a solution\nAgreed there",
"Just some highlights copy and pasted from the SEC filing on 4/27/21 showing why you may not want to believe/invest in aptera just yet:\n\n“We have 12 full-time employees and 10 part-time employees. We do not currently have any pension, annuity, profit sharing, or similar employee benefit plans, although we may choose to adopt such plans in the future.”\n\nChris anthony only has a bachelors in business \n\nFambro only has a bachelors in electrical engineering \n\nSEC auditor has issued a “growing concern” opinion.\n\n“We do not yet have any prototypes and do not have a final design, a manufacturing facility or manufacturing processes.”\n\nThe success of the company will greatly depend on the skills, connections and experiences of the executives, Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro. The company has not entered into employment agreements with any of the aforementioned executives.\n\nThe company has relied upon consultants, engineers and others and intends to rely on these parties for technological and manufacturing expertise.\n\nAccordingly the company’s net loss was $4,188,983 for the 2020 Fiscal Year and $224,487 for the 2019 Fiscal Year.\n\nThe company has enough capital to last for the next 24 months. We anticipate that we will need at least $10,000,000 to reach the vehicle production stage",
"Yup, so it's really just an electric vehicle like any other. The solar part is pretty much just a gimmick. You can only get 40 miles a day on sunny days."

"Xanthan gum is nuts, it takes an absurdly small amount to turn thousands of pounds of liquid into barely pumpable goop. I believe Methyl cellulose is what they use in Japan, it's a bit more slippery and washes off much easier (gum can be a bitch to clean)\n\nMy initial reaction to his mixture was that the more solids the better and if the goal is to increase solids xanthan gum isnt exactly dense. Xanthan increases the volume which will help conducting the salt and keeping the stream more solid but a small amount of soy lecithin and maybe a bit of maltodextrin would create a more stable flowing mix with higher solids. It would also be more sticky.\n\nThe problem with that is then youd have to worry about the temp as im not sure if it would remain a liquid at room temp unless you got the ratio right. I wish he disclosed more info about his mix and im really tempted to see if i can compare salt water/xanthan gum combos until i get the most conductive version and then compare it to a version with higher solids....It's an interesting concept \n\n\nEdit: \nI was trying to figure out how much xantham gum would actually effect the solids and got this:\n\n\"The increase of viscosity with increasing xanthan gum concentration has been attributed to intermolecular interaction or entanglement that increases the effective macromolecule dimensions and molecular weight\"\n\nSo it would seem to me that it depends on the mixture that the xantham gum is added to. I'm not sure how the solids would compare to something more complex mixed otherwise, or if adding the xantham gum to a more complex mixture would result in a bigger increase in effect due to the atoms at play. That's way beyond me, but I can do practical test and find out solids difference at the very least so ill start with that",
"cum",
"I questioned the use of xantham as well, although my thoughts were on increasing the solids to help with conductivity, xantham creates volume for sure but he only added a very little amount of actual solids to the mixture and gave up a lot of his flow as a consequence. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nA more complex mixture should in theory increase flow rate (his mixture will capture air pockets as well and can foam up) while also having a higher solids count. Im also fairly certain we could increase stream integrity in this fashion as well. The problem would mainly be in if his air system could pump it at range because the new liquid would be heavier and therefore need to be pushed much harder in order to maintain a good stream at distance. \n\n\nI have very little electrical experience so im not sure if making the liquid stickier would help disperse the shock across a person, his mixture should actually act similar to water on impact so a lot of it would splash away on impact \n\n\nI don't know anything about nozzles and flow rates outside of industrial pumps but this entire concept is doable and can have a lot of improvements if a government actually had the interest. I'm gonna bring it up at work though and see if i can get some good nozzle info, although my industries nozzles generally disperse liquid rather than stream it. I already decided in another comment chain to experiment with the liquid combo this weekend.",
"Just write a novel and get it over with already lol",
"Can someone explain why he needed two streams of water? I missed if he explained that in the video",

"That’s fine, I don’t like it myself.",
"I am sure there were some things they didn't want people to try replicating on that show and were proven as \"myths\" or not shown at all.",
"Electricity is not like a bullet from a gun... It needs to create a loop type-of-thing to be most effective. It can still discharge against the earth or something very large without creating this loop, but you would lose all the energy. I think you want to maintain a small loop for the electricity to have a circuit. Basically, I think it's due to the nature of how electricity works... highlighted by the scene where everyone is standing on plates and he \"completes the circuit\" to the earth and everyone gets shocked.\n\nI am not an electrician FYI... I just think I might be correct and wanted to give you my \"guesstimate\" answer since no one seems to be responding yet.",
"the only other thing i have to add is, i know in cooking you can use methycellulose to make noodles out of something liquid based like chicken stock. i'm guessing that's at a very high concentration though. i dont know how it behaves at a lower mix usage.\n\ni have used very small amounts of xanthan and guar gum to thicken a gravy in a very nice way. but i never tested the cohesion of the liquid that it created.",

"Amazing. Oregon is absolutely beautiful. \n\nI have lived in about 15 states and worked in 30 or so and a few different countries and Oregon is my favorite place to be. I grew up in the midwest and moved out west and just love it. \n\nYou can be by Portland and within 1.5 hours, you can be in some of the most beautiful hiking, sitting on a beach, mountain climbing, drinking some of the best pinot noir in the world, drinking some of the best beer at hundreds of brewers, drink amazing coffee, ski/snowboard. You can go clamming for razor clams and make the best damn clam chowder. \n\nThe summer of Oregon is just perfect, no rain, 70s-80s and nice and cool for hiking. The museum of science is amazing, the rose garden is absolutely massive, the japanese garden is great. Just going down the roads, there are hundreds of trees. Looks beautiful right now with the fall colors. Uwajimaya is the best Japanese grocery store in the country. There are hundreds of different activities each that have great communities. Rockhounding clubs, dance clubs, sports clubs, drama, hiking, etc. If you have problems in your 20-30s making friends, there is always something going on. \n\nThere are a lot of problems in Oregon and Portland like any place, but the benefits of the area are just so massive.",

"Fascinating",
"What is it Spock?",
"Blessings be upon you for time-stamping this.",
"The asiago nebula Captain",
"May the force be with you.",
"Sulu, set phasers to “slice and dice” ahead warp factor 5.",
"The baby bel at the end is excellent",
"What about density? How does the machine produce a slice of the exact weight for different types of cheese?",
"I assume this device is intended to be used with half-wheels of cheese as the maximum starting amount? This of course depends on the shape of the blade. If it cuts the full length of the platform then you need half-wheels to start. If it only cuts to the middle of the platform, then you can start with a full wheel.\n\nMy understanding is that you start with a half-wheel (or full wheel, see above) and place it against the middle of the blade/in the middle of the platform. You put in the original mass of that half-wheel (or full wheel, see above) on the left, then lift the blade.\n\nWhen you move the lever on the right, it will rotate the cutting platform enough so that when you lower the blade it will shave off that amount of cheese from the wheel. How much that second lever rotates the platform depends on the original mass the first lever is set to.\n\nThe major problem I see is that I believe this means you need to remember the original weight of the starting wheel/half-wheel.\n\nBrilliant device. Probably has some very interesting gear-work underneath.",
"I think it's based on the idea that the cheese is round and it rotates a number of degrees to that represents the correct ratio based on the original weight. So if you put a pound on and set it to cut 1/4 pound it would rotate 90 degrees. If you put a two pound circle of cheese you adjust the original weight slider which probably changes a gear ration so that it would only rotate 45 degrees.",
"I need this.",
"Oh. Thanks, fhatsy actually really clever!",
"Did I just watch a man cut cheese? Yes. Yes I did.",
"The creativity of analog machines is always amazing",
"If you watch the _other_ 40 minutes of the video you can see it's just a few levers underneath, but their length, attachment points, and pivot points are what governs how much the wheel turns based on their position.\n\nHonestly I wouldn't have believed that it does what it does without the demonstration.",
"If you watch the _other_ 40 minutes of the video you can see it's just a few levers underneath, but their length, attachment points, and pivot points are what governs how much the wheel turns based on their position.\n\nHonestly I wouldn't have believed that it does what it does without the demonstration.",
"This should be on QI",
"I definitely did not watch the full video, just the part it was linked from (and apparently not even to the end because I would have known it was a blade to the centre). Even simpler than I thought it was.\n\nI honestly must have zoned out from the multiple things I'm doing because I would not have made that comment if I knew the video had so much in it.",
"Cobalt bits for drilling the stainless without coolant?\n\nedit: Stainless steel self-tempers if you heat it - thus the need for coolant (evaporated milk is pretty good at this). You will struggle to drill through it using normal drill bits once it's been heat cycled.\n\nThus the question if he was using cobalt or some other material that remains sharp and hard enough to drill hardened stainless, or maybe just very fresh regular bits.",
"It’s essentially an analog mechanical computer (hence IBM). They made [significantly more complex](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwf5mAlI7Ug) versions",
"The cutter cuts one radius so you can start with a full wheel.",
"Blessed are the cheese ~~makers~~ cutters.",
"Dear god how much cheese do you have ?",
"He’s a man who likes to live dangerously",
"Evidently. That unguarded circular saw cutting beyond its depth had me nervous even though he obviously retained enough hands to finish the video.",
"Doesn't need to. Its input is the weight of the original full cheese wheel. A wheel is 360 degrees so instead of density it needs ounces/degree. Then the weight is a function of the device knowing how many degrees to turn for a certain weight. The density and radius are unnecessary.",
"Is there even a remote chance that those blades could slide down uncontrolled and cause injury ??\nI just got anxious every time he moved the blade up and put his hands on the wooden platform.",
"I should get one of these.",
"OK, I'm confused. The placard on the machine clearly says [\"INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES\" and \"1801\"](https://i.imgur.com/LILOJSG.png), yet the wikipedia page says International Business Machines was founded in the [1900s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM), with the seeds coming at the earliest from [the late 1800s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM).\n\nSo.. same company? Another company with the same name lost to history?",
"If you line your cheese wheel up right. You could have the starting cut go down, into the cheese.\n\nThen raise it, measure out your 8 ounces (or whatever), and do the next cut.\n\nIf the wheel is perfectly in the middle, then you'll be fine.",
"I have one cheese. But with this machine I could make a lot more.",
"1801 is the model number. This model was made after 1900 when IBM acquired the company that made them\n\nhttp://www.379136154956493191.com/ibm-cheese-slicer.html",
"Oh they’re real. And they’re fantastic",
"I apparently wasn't paying attention to the video so I didn't see the whole device shown. Only the levers. Yup, can definitely do a whole wheel with the radius cut.",
"It seems I stopped watching before the end, or got distracted by something else I was doing. Which is surprising. You didn't link the video with much time left in it.",
"Wow this is from before that scum company made the holocaust be able to happen with their punch card system.",
"Redditors generally have short attention spans.",
"True. I'm playing a game and watching a TV show at the same time as I'm going through Reddit. It's giving me a goldfish's attention span.",
"This is the best thing I've watched in a very long time. I loved this, thanks for sharing.",
"Are you kidding? Watching the restoration is like the foreplay to the climax you just witnessed.",
"It's 1901 in a fancy font.",
"Everything is based upon original weight (whatever the standard is in the industry for original weight - full or half wheel). So you really can start with any size wheel. I.e. even if industry standard was 90 degree wheels, you could still build a machine like this. \n \nAll this device is doing is rotating through a proportional angle. So if you bring a 4 kg full wheel, and want 1 kg, it rotates 90 degrees. If the industry standard was half wheels only (for whatever reason), then if you punch in original weight 4 kg, and want 1 kg, then it could rotate 45 degrees. Either machine would be built under the same design principals, the proportions would merely change to match industry standards. \n \nI'm guessing industry standard is full wheels, so the proportions mechanically calculated are relative to 360 degrees. And this is the same reason why the thickness of the cheese doesn't matter. Again, just proportional rotation splits any thickness cheese proportionally.",

"Straight Outta Compton came out in '88.\n\nRapping about crime was popular long before this Act.",
"Yes, but gangsta rap was not mainstream during this time, ~~far from it.~~ it was just a subgenre that had some popularity but was not what hip hop was all about*. Now gangsta rap is the dominant subgenre of hip hop, which is problematic. \n\n**Edit:** This is also what Dr. Tricia Rose says, who is a professor at Brown University, who literally studies (and writes books on) hip hop.",
"You are entirely incorrect. Gansta rap was very popular during the late 80s and early 90s, it is not near as popular now as it was then.",
"You need to check the Billboard Hot 100 as your source of information. Songs like The Message and Fight the Power and Run DMC songs were dominant (in hip hop) in the 80s and early 90s. \n\nEdit: And you can get an idea of what songs are the hottest today through tiktok trends (if you don't want to look at Billboard). Most of the hip hop songs are gangsta rap",

"Tom MacDonald sucks.",
"You really think gangsta rap only became a thing in 1996?",
"They were, but so were groups like NWA, 2 Live Crew, Ice T, Schoolly D, etc. Hip Hop has always had a multitude of themes, including conscious, irreverent, revolutionary, and gangsta, just to name a few.\n\nThe fact is, almost all of the major milestones of gangsta rap, including, but not limited to, Straight Outta Compton, The Chronic, Doggystyle, Music to Drive By, etc., were released and HUGELY successful/popular (i.e. multi-platinum) well before 1996.\n\nThe theory put forward in this video is flawed. \n\n\n(edit: some spelling)",

" The telecommunications act might have allowed for consolidation amoungst radio stations, but it didn't say a damn thing about record labels.",
"As someone else said, “Straight Outta Compton” came out in 1988. Tupac and Biggie were biggest in the early 90s, when gangsta rap was the biggest genre in the mainstream. Snoop Dog, Ice-T, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube. All of these guys were gangsta rap and mainstream in the mid-to late 80s. Late 90s and onward, rap got more political. Gangsta rap had fallen out of style and became more about bling and blending with R&B. Gangsta rap stopped being mainstream by the mid 2000s. So if Suge Knight and Sean Puffy Combs wanted to make money off of throwing black people under the bus, they didn’t do a very good job.",
">You're the one bitching about Tom and missing the point of the reply\n\nNo I got the point. I'm just saying he sucks lol. Why are you mad?\n\n>I wouldn't be happy which is why I suggested you get a hug, you seem to need one.\n\nNah I get plenty of hugs. Doesn't change the fact that Tom MacDonald is a bad rapper with bad opinions lol.",
"ur making it seem like the story of gangsta and violence isnt the reality of millions of people. hip hop is an outlet for expression it just happens that the people who make hip hop are also subject to growing up in a violent environment. fuck u want them to do rap about ponys and rainbows",
"Do you have a specific extract? Because your argument sounds ridiculous, the apex of gangsta rap was 1996, if anything other more pop-friendly forms of rap became popular in the late 90s, though gangsta rap was still popular until the mid-2000s",
"What are these popular hiphop songs on Tiktok? Kanye? Drake? juice Wrld and emo-rap?",
"I remember when this type of comment would post Immortal Technique as “real hiphop”, then cringy Hopsin, and now it’s degenerated to this.",
"Lmao did someone insult your favorite rapper with their opinion?",
"The other major flaw in this theory is that it's not like conscious rap went away or anything. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill could arguably be called the best selling conscious rap album of all time, and it came out in '98. Groups/artists like Outkast, Tribe, Blackstarr, etc. had some of their biggest hits well after '96. And let's not act like Kendrick and Cole aren't two of the biggest acts in Hip Hop right now.",

"I dunno, man. Lyrics like \"I won't kneel for them I stand for the flag\" or whatever, and \"cancel culture has more power than the first amendment\" sounds like he's pretty against social change. Or rather, you know, you're right. Regression certainly counts as change.\n\nEdit: Reading the rest of your comments, you should know if you're going to post about rappers, you're going to get opinions about them. If you can't handle them, maybe you just shouldn't post? It's not winter yet, snowflake. Get out of here.",

"This makes Insane Clown Posse sound like Beethoven. Delete this shit.",
"> This is also what Dr. Tricia Rose says, who is a professor at Brown University, who literally studies (and writes books on) hip hop.\n\nAnyone who buys those books should get their money back then - because none of that shit is right.\n\nAlso, anyone using the term \"gangsta rap\" in 2021 assuredly doesn't know anything about hip hop.",
"You're talking a load of shit",
"and the government tried to erase it from existence. when that failed and they found out that hip hop was beyond what they could contain, they destroyed it from the inside.",
"I can't tell if this is real, or a shitty SNL sketch making fun of an alternate universe Riff Raff.",
"that shit wasn't even \"gangsta rap\" at that time, it was just rap. that label did not come from within the community. pretty much everything you hear on the radio now is gangsta rap.",
"This just isn't true and the video barely points it out. Everything it says is some old man \"back in my day\" bullshit opinion towards modern hip hop. You know this has happened every generation since forever right? Let people have their music, damn.",

Amerikkka's Most Wanted was released in '90. The Chronic was released in '92. Me Against the World was released in '95. Ready to Die was released in '94.\n\nThese albums were huge and widely influential, regardless of what your irrelevant Billboard top 100 Hits chart and your (apparently ignorant) professor says.",
"All of gansta rap was NWA. After them, it was all just pretending.",
"make shit music whining about how hard it is to be white? that isn't new.",
"you are so mad",
"NWA wasn't only rapping about crime. They were anti-police and had a lot of social messages, with a lot of great lyricism. \n\nThe point is that, over time, popular hip hop became more about crime with less focus on art or social change. Possibly in direct relation to this act being passed and/or large music conglomerates pushing it in that direction.",
"oh this fucking video again",
"[Here's the thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/pmjmv7/wtf_happened_to_hip_hop_short_indie_documentary/) from the last time this whack video was posted",
"wrong",
"In her book, Tricia does say that the \"gangsta rap\" pre-1996 was not as bad as what's out there today, and kind of romanticizes it, even claiming that Tupac would be considered a conscious rapper today. I haven't read the whole thing but I did skim through the first bits.",
"Pretty sure the crime aspect is actually part of the social aspect, and it was actually to the contrary. If I understand correctly, most large record labels wanted hip hop to stay as clean as possible so that it could be on the radio and it could sell to a wider audience.\n\nI guess I thought they would alienate certain audiences if the crime and violence was emphasized too much in the music.",
"Totally fabricated bullshit.",
"If you say so lol",
"Hip Hop, the most dominant cultural movement of the last half century, has been \"destroyed from the inside\"?...\n\nHip Hop is far too strong and broad of a of a culture to be manipulated by any government. All four elements (I'm aware of the 5th) are a global phenomenon, with multiple amalgamations and regional variations.\n\nPeople always act like, if not from some nefarious actors, Hip Hop would have retained some fabled purity that it supposedly had between Kool Herc and Fear of a Black Planet, but that's not how culture works. Hip Hop had change and experimentation baked into its DNA from the start, so it was inevitable that it was going to grow and expand beyond the boundaries of any one person or group's perception of what \"real hip hop\" is. Some of those evolutions may be less artistic or socially beneficial than some would like, but others have continued to progress the art, and have led to it becoming an intrinsic part of almost every contemporary culture on the planet..",
"telecommunications act thru deregulation helped consolidate information sources and create the monopoly we see today in news where a handful of corporations own all programming.",
">NWA wasn't only rapping about crime. They were anti-police and had a lot of social messages, with a lot of great lyricism. \n\nAlthough you're right, they *did* rap about crime as well, lol. I love NWA, don't get me wrong.\n\n>The point is that, over time, popular hip hop became more about crime with less focus on art or social change. Possibly in direct relation to this act being passed and/or large music conglomerates pushing it in that direction.\n\nI think a lot of it has to do with the insulation rappers have nowadays from the social issues plaguing other poor black people, unlike a lot of the rappers from back in the day. Being rich is a much larger deciding factor on socioeconomic condition than race, and so they take on the \"fuck you, I've got mine\" mentality once they hit it big. Given that they can more than provide for their friends and family, I don't think they have much empathy for the affected groups at large. Plus, these issues are covered in many other forms of media to an extent unlike ever before, which takes pressure off musicians to do so.",
"This doesn't pass any sort of fact check let alone basic common knowledge for people over the age of 10. Hip hop is as strong as ever culturally and is not exactly all about crime. And crime is social and political, but clearly that can not be applied to every marketing attempt. There are just as much if not more mainstream political takes now.\n\n Wu Tang is seriously forever.",
"Lol, wtf.\n\nOnly someone not alive in the 90s would believe this",
"The whole thesis of this video is going to become 'reddit wisdom' and parroted in every tangentially related thread. More redditors read it and will repost it again and again. And then it will be true.",
"Jesus, Clinton was a disaster of a president.",
"There have been both rap songs about crime and political rap songs since the inception of rap, and the two are heavily intertwined. You can cherry pick examples all day and say \"this song is about crime\" and \"this song is more political\" but the fact is rap has consistently tackled a diverse range of topics from love, to politics, to comedy, to anything you can think of over the decades. Honestly though NWA has to be one of the worst examples you could come up with for saying rap has become less political over time seeing as how they popularized the Gangsta Rap genre.",
"Hip Hop changed because it went mainstream and you sell more records to white kids in the suburbs with lyrics about thongs and sex then you will with an album about the struggles of urban poverty[.](https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/pmjmv7/wtf_happened_to_hip_hop_short_indie_documentary/hcicu7l/)",

"I mean, it really seems like she is romanticizing it and really ignoring the many quality rap bands that formed and released work post '96.",
"I was listening to rap and hip hop in the late 80s through the 90’s. You’re looking at the world through revisionist glasses if you think hip hop was mostly about art and social change until 1996.",
"This is a weak claim, gangster rap started before this. Nobody forced Tupac to pretend to be a bad ass and fight with other rappers.",
"I didn't pick NWA as an example. The person above me was using them to refute the OP (as an example of rapping about crime that was popular before 1996). \n\nMy counterpoint was that NWA actually had a lot of poetic elements and social messages in their work. And that sets them apart from all the hacks they inspired who only went for the crime angle.\n\nThen the corporate-owned record industry helped push those hacks, because they realized that rapping about crime sells. \n\nEspecially with all of the controversy and commentary in the mainstream media, which was providing free PR.",
"that’s just what sold albums more easily",
"The popularity existed in early 90s for sure (even a handful of groups in late 80s). It was a tested and known factor for success. They also knew that kind of music sold to a wide range of audiences. Movies also reflected this interest at the time. It's why so many mafia movies got popular during that time.\n\nThe conglomerate likely just leaned into the theme since they know that is where the money is.\n\nIf an argument was to made that large money moved society in this direction than it is further reaching that just hiphop.",
"SNL had an animated segment that only aired once about media conglomerates because capitalists were triggered by it. [https://youtu.be/nh6Hf5\\_ZYPI](https://youtu.be/nh6Hf5_ZYPI)",
"Yeah, wtf is this title. I love when people try to whitewash rap history.",
"Oh fuck off",
"Fucking weird ass conspiracy but ok",
"Big L.",
"I see. I wasn't trying to downplay some of the political elements of NWA, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to say that the popularity of crime themed hip hop has eclipsed other themes, or that it's separated from the political. First of all every music movement in history has had its hacks, there were plenty of hacky artists who didn't care about their message in the 90s and there are plenty of hacky artists now. Secondly crime themed songs have been popular for a long time going back all the way to medieval murder ballads. While I don't have any data to back this up it does seem that violence centered songs saw a rise in popularity in the latter half of the 20th century but that's not exclusive to rap. It was part of a larger countercultural movement that has its roots in the 60s and included various rock genres, reggae, and even country, and was caused by loosening restrictions on speech and the continuing ease of recording and distribution. The reason it seems like there are more \"crime songs\" today is because there are, as there is more music altogether. This especially goes for rap as it's been the fastest growing genre for a while and is now the most popular. \nEven so this rhetoric against new hip hop as brain dead or crime encouraging is the same stuff older generations have been saying about new music for over a century, going back to at least jazz. It's true that stuff has gotten more explicit as censorship has waned but that doesn't make it any less artful. I guarantee in 10-15 years when the generation who grew up on new rap starts having kids this stuff will be as uncontroversial as \"I Shot The Sheriff\" or all the druggy Beatles songs and they'll all complain about whatever the new artists are doing.\nAlso this is more a shot at the video but I think they're really putting the cart before the horse by saying white executives lead to watered down music, instead of white, aka mainstream, audiences. I think this is supported by the fact that arguably the most \"distilled\" type of rap (\"mumble rap\" and trap) gained huge popularity largely through independent artists and distribution online (not to say that those genres are any less worthy of respect). Overall if there was more demand for explicitly political music we would see more of it, but the truth is that political music will always be hampered by the amount of people who agree with those politics. And that's not to say that there is no demand as there are hugely popular political rappers. Eminem, 2pac, Kanye, and Kendrick are all extremely popular and explicitly political whether you agree with their views or not. The difference is Public Enemy appeared when rap was a fringe newly born genre with a cohesive subculture, and as it's gotten mainstreamized so has the music. \nAlso I just wanted to say I like your username.",
"Hard agree just based on the video Tricia Rose and Jerry Kroth seem like out of touch people nit-picking songs to support their argument that rap is worse today. However I will say gangsta rap is most certainly a genre, albeit one that has not been popular for a very long time and commonly misattributed to any songs that have guns or drugs.",

"You're not implying that the Wu was \"gangsta rap\" are you?",

"What you are saying doesn't make any sense. Yes it's gangsta rap...\n\nDoes ghost not talk about selling drugs in any of his verses?",
">Does ghost not talk about selling drugs in any of his verses?\n\nThen I guess by that measure Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, Slick Rick, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and The Beastie Boys were all gangsta rappers, too?\n\nThere's no denying elements of the genre were present in their music (not all the artists) but Wu-Tang was so much more. I think you might need to actually go back and listen to the Wu-Tang albums, especially all the solos and reevaluate that opinion.",
"> There's no denying elements of the genre were present in their music (not all the artists) but Wu-Tang was so much more. I think you might need to actually go back and listen to the Wu-Tang albums, especially all the solos and reevaluate that opinion.\n\nNo. It's gangsta rap. You are just a stuck up hipster. I've listened plenty wutang.\n\n> It's so much more.\n\nLol dude cringe as fuck. You can say that about pretty much anyone ever who's done gangsta rap, maybe now you understand how stupid that is.",
"Fair. But the Mom and Pops in Hip Hop never went away. Stones Throw, TDE, Strange, Bomb, Duck Down, Rap-A-Lot, etc. They continued to play a prominent role in Hip Hop up to today.",
"First of all, the term \"gangsta rap\" was coined by the media not the groups themselves. That aside, there are many artists/groups which fall under this genre that were quintessential examples of it. Ice- T, NWA, Geto Boys, UGK, Compton's Most Wanted, Spice 1, Above the Law, Kool G Rap, MGJ and 8-Ball, Mobb Deep and I could go on.\n\nThe Wu-Tang clan as a whole aren't the same as the above. Can you make a case for Raek and early Ghost? Sure. But what about *Supreme Clientele, Liquid Swords, Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, Tical, Uncontrolled Substance*, etc? Were those all gangsta rap albums?\n\nAnyway, your actual argument can be reduced to the very petulant, \"You're stupid!\"\n\nIf you'd like to make a substantive argument as to how ALL of the Wu-Tang Clan's songs and albums can be classified as gangsta rap, let me know.",
"I heard an interview with a music critic Kelefa Sanneh, who argues that what defined gansta rap was it's hyper-masculinity, profanity, and aggressiveness. That is to say, gansta rap didn't go anywhere; hip hop *became* gansta rap because it just swallowed the genre.",
"> Anyway, your actual argument can be reduced to the very petulant, \"You're stupid!\"\n\nYeah and it's a good claim. Because what you are arguing is extremely stupid. You are a hiphop hipster. Instead of common sense you go way off the deep end. It's not that complicated. Wutang is gangsta rap... Wow.\n\nAnd again just next level stupid to argue that because every single wutang project possibly can't be classified as gangsta rap that somehow that wouldn't be what they are musically.\n\nIt's gangsta rap according to anyone with a shred of common sense. Only a hiphop hipster like you would argue othwerswise.",
"I have no idea what type of Wikipedia historian shit you think you’re on, but Wu is 100% gangsta rap. Let’s talk reality instead of semantics: Every album you cited is top to bottom packed with verses about THE lifestyle, and that’s all that makes gangsta rap what it is. \n\nAnd no, it was not “coined by the media” it was coined by dudes who wanted to fucking rap about being a gangsta. The only thing the media ran with or established was the implication that it was poorer quality music, which you seem to be weirdly perpetuating now, by implying that Wu Tang grew past it or some shit.",
"Damn.\n\nSo a new form of artistic expression started to gain popularity, then got bought out by large businesses?\n\nAnd those businesses did market research and found that, if they selected artists that had more mainstream appeal, the more attention grabbing aesthetics of sex and violence, they would be able to increase their audience and make more money?\n\nGod! That's a pretty crazy chain of events that's 100% exclusive to hip hop.",
"They also had a dance track on Straight Outta Compton. Just sayin'.",
"Someone definitely did not listen to rap in the early 90s when everyone was trying to be a wannabe NWA and Ice-T. Funny enough, it was music labels pushing for it. Remember when MC Hammer just became Hammer in order to seem more like a thug. What's more hilarious is that Hammer was a gangsta and supposedly had a hit put out on 3rd Bass.",
"This is so false…",
"they are still there in the background, im just saying that they don't really drive the culture anymore.",
"Truth",
"The most commonly used word in rap music today is the most problematic and conflict-creating word in the english language. Makes you think."

"The entire point of the mass effect trilogy was building a series around the concept of making choices matter more then ever before. Never before had individuals decisions carried over through multiple games. Not only were you supposed to think about how what you were doing would effect the game you were playing but future installments as well. When mass effect 1 released this was its main selling point. It made you agnonize over every choice wondering what the repercussions might be years later. That was such a great thing in a video game.\n\nSo no matter how you slice it, ending the series by removing all real choice and not taking into account any of the players decisions throughout the series was a complete joke. I truly dont understand anyone who likes the ending unless they jumped into the series years later or started with 2 or maybe even 3. \n\nDid you save the rachni queen? Did you cure the genophage? Did you destroy a planet full of life to slow the reapers invasion? Did you reconcile the quarians and geth? Who did you sacrifice who did you save?

It’s a flamboyant sex-obsessed 60’s era British spy Bond parody with wacky catch phrases who travels through time. But it worked. Looking back, Austin Powers is a lightening in a bottle series that has most thanks owed to Mike Meyers for making his insanely unique character so likable. No one in their right mind could have been pitched the idea in the 90’s and thought “Yeah this is definitely going to be burned into Hollywood pop culture for decades to come.” \n\nYou don’t really see any films anymore that revolve entirely around a wacky character that a talented comedian created like Austin Powers, Waynes World, Joe Dirt, Water Boy, Ladies Man, etc.",

"If it was simply \"hey, look how things were versus how they are now!\" that would be fine. However, Kensington, the female lead, is a terrible character who gets walked all over for the sake of a joke. Austin cheats and they break up. But this woman is written as nothing more than a punchline, so she forgives him since he's from a different era. In the 90s, being old and racist, or old and sexist was largely accepted with an eye roll. It was a short hand that was accepted that just hasn't held up. She is a professional who is expected to be competent except never demonstrates it. There is no explanation for what she sees in Austin besides him being the main character.\n\nA giant portion of the humor in the movie comes down to \"look at this person and what they sound like! It's a midget! It's a really fat person!\" and there is no more depth than that to the joke. These were funny in the 90s. It's not any more.",

"The discussions around Mass Effect are some of my favorites. There are the usual problems of stratospheric expectations meeting some aspect of reality that are common enough - Cyberpunk 2077 is a recentish example of that - but ME goes a bit further and delves into questions of theme and authorial intent.\n\nTo your point, the first game made no bones about the fact that your choices would have consequences. And yet by the second game, the results of our choices were relegated to mere window dressing. Regardless of the council living or dying - and who sits on it - it still makes the same choices to do nothing and deny, squandering the reprieve bought at a staggering price. Spare a seedy gangster and he'll have a line or two at the galaxies shittiest bar. Save a species or not and it doesn't even show up that I can recall. That's expectations meeting reality. And yet the first game still made the argument.\n\nHere's the thing, though: it made that argument *in its advertisements* rather than in the game. Your first mission has some redshirt getting killed in a cutscene. Nothing you can do will stop it from happening. Your character is marked for promotion to Spectre, and nothing you do will save your observation offer nor make the slightest change to your eventual elevation to that position. Before that you are merely a Naval Commander - someone qualified to captain a lesser ship or act as executive officer on a larger one. You are part of a deterministic system with little actual agency. And once freed from those shackles, you still report to the Council, it's only into a wider cage where the bars aren't quite so obvious. The game's seeming antagonist, meanwhile, is a creature trapped by unhappy choices which, by the end of the game, we come to realize is a lie. He's not trying to find the best choice in a galaxy of bad, he's merely rationalizing what he's doing after Sovereign made the choice for him.\n\nThe second game is much the same. You have some latitude, but are still quite clearly in a cage - and this time it's just as obvious who holds the leash. By the end of the DLC, we're well acquainted with indoctrination - that way the Reapers manage to steal free will and co-opt it to their own ends. And by the end of the game, all the time you bought the Galaxy has run out and no one has done anything of consequence to help. Shepherd is free to row against the current however they might wish, but the narrative carries them to the same place *regardless*.\n\nExpectations meeting reality versus authorial intent mean that we necessarily have to ask: did the game *intend* to give you more agency only to fall short because reality wouldn't cooperate, or is the river metaphor the intention? The Reapers have guided countless species down the same river before the game, and each of them was no doubt certain that they were masters of their fate. The villains in the game are characters who were robbed of their capacity to choose. Even the Reapers qualify for that one: they are doing exactly what they were told to do. There is no malice or special intention there beyond fulfilling their function. \n\nAll of this comes up against the game's ending - something made more complicated by the fact that ME3 managed to have a number of them along the way. If we suppose that the last example that came months after all of the fan backlash, and if we suppose that the star child would have been better received had the events of Leviathan and From the Ashes been in the base game experience that *everyone* had, there is still the fact that you have three choices. *All* of the other choices along the way are just paddling against the current. Saved a few notable species and all you have to show for it is having enough military power to somehow prevent the annihilation of Sol. No matter what you do, you still end up with those three choices.\n\nThis is, of course, where indoctrination theory comes in. There is no particular reason to suppose that Shepherd is exceptional in their ability to resist indoctrination. We've seen first hand how someone can be indoctrinated and never notice. And there is some credibility to that: after all, everything you do plays right into the Reaper plan to get the crucible to the Citadel. In spite of all of the spanners you've tossed into the works, the Reapers have you exactly where they want you. Is that intention or reality?\n\nSuppose, for a moment, that the ending is what was intended. That the game did, in fact, want to explore the concept of agency and it's limits. If we are shown again and again that our choices do not really matter in the grand view of the universe in spite of everyone telling us otherwise, then what is the argument being made if not some variation of *nothing matters in the long run*? Indoctrination theory was popular back when ME3 was new, but I would argue that it doesn't fit. It isn't because Shepherd is immune, but that if the goal is to fool the player about the limits of their agency, giving that power to a quite literal deus ex machina isn't useful. Even the Greek Gods were bound by fate, so no matter how obnoxious Hera was to Hercules, Hercules was still going to end up a god. You don't need indoctrination theory to explain things either when the subtler and simpler explanation works: Reapers have guided every citadel species to the start of the series. The grand system that is advanced organic life in the Milky Way is bigger than any one man. It is the work of thousands of years.\n\nIf there is a theme about choice in the series, it is in that metaphor: paddle with the current or against it, the river carries you to the same place regardless.",

"The only option there ever was was destroy.\n\nIt's pretty weird that Shepard can trust anything that star child says.

Hope you guys do better than we did.\" It's also not really a defeat ending but a belated victory. So instead of all of the decisions of the three games comes down to: leave a message on the answering machine and the next cycle will take care of it.",

"RIP Vern Troyer",
"Doesnt really work that way. Yes there was some resolutions but the vast majority of the decisions revolved around the ultimate conflict with the reapers. The multi colored but really same ending makes them all pointless. Why agonize over the morality of the genophage and the potential future threat of the krogan when it doesnt matter. Nothing will fhange the outcome. Why bother proving against all odds that sentient AI and biological life actually can coexist only for ghost boy to tell you in the end that \"sike ai and biological life have to merge because its the only real way\"\n\nSorry but no. I dont buy the \"3 really is an end just ignore the actual end\" point of view. Happy that some people can still enjoy the games at least though. 1 and 2 and 98% of 3 really dont deserve to be completely punished or forgotten just because of some head writer and project leads need to stroke their own ego.",
"Not really, no. You can go back and look if you want, but before the game came out people were begging that ME3 wouldn't be \"hey guys there's this really cool Deus Ex Machina we found on Mars that can kill the Reapers!\", and that's exactly what the entire story was. It had the best combat of the series but it was still mediocre at the time and is just a joke by modern standards. Story wise it was shit top to bottom.",
"What Saren wanted was submission. To bow and scrape to the Reapers so that they would be spared. As for Control, just because a villain has a goal doesn't mean that goal is wrong. TIM needed to be fought and stopped because his means, and the ends he would've pursued with the power of the Reapers, were abominable. A Paragon Shepard taking the Control option enables galactic peace and freedom. ~~Renegade on the other hand is the actual worst possible ending for the galaxy.~~",

"Don't get me wrong, I love a dive into the meaning of film but I feel a lot of this is a big reach, a lot of comedy films are written without deep subtext and Austin Powers clearly is one. It simply mocks the spy genre whilst letting Mike Myers showcase his loveable talent for goof. I really don't see it being a scathing review of British Empire hubris.",

"Obviously nobody would have predicted that he would still be an icon 24 years later, but I don't see why \"making fun of james bond\" is a stretch for a movie. Kingsman takes itself a bit more seriously than Austin Powers, but that's another trilogy with the same rough \"spy movies are pretty dumb, huh?\" idea.\n\nAnd of course Austin Powers has the geopolitical commentary that made it especially popular in the US.",
"You're entitled to your opinion but i dont share it. The game was pretty good up until that horrible ending (still thought 2 was the best though). But there was plenty of things I liked story wise.",
">but nobody made a \"Rambo was fucking ridiculous, what were we thinking?\" movie.\n\nIf you haven't seen Hot Shots or Hot Shots Part Deux, highly recommend. Both have some quality Lloyd Bridges performances.\n\nAlso the Weird Al movie UHF also parodies Rambo in at least one scene.",
"Just to pick one example from your post, the decision you made for the Krogan affects everything for the Krogan. Just because it doesn’t directly affect the Reaper fight is, I think, a narrow view of what “matters.” (though I believe it actually does impact the Reaper fight, in that IIRC Wrex will discover you fucked him over and ding your combat readiness; nevertheless, it’s irrelevant to my argument).",

"I think with the advent of social media and the internet its hard for a movie to hold the cultural zeitgeist for as long as some of those other movies did",

"That's what I've been saying for years. Having a massive big budget AAA game like that with the level of animation and voice acting involved have enough branching endings to reflect all the myriad choices you've made would've been an absolute nightmare. The choices you made _did_ matter, but on a much smaller scale. They affect the people you actually made decisions related to, and their stories change because of what you did when they intersected yours.",
"It definitely follows the Joseph Campbell heroes journey.",
"Saving Rannoch by uniting the Geth and Quarians before sitting on the edge of a cliff with Tali as she marvels at the home world she never thought she’d get to see with her own eyes, is hands down one of the most rewarding video game endings of all time\n\nAnd it wasn’t even an ending",
"Oh no all the choices you made across the entire trilogy only completely mattered 99.9% of the way through the game, lets ignore that and cry about the 0.1% that EA & Bioware had to to cater to the fact that not everyone who owned ME3 played the entire trilogy. Not to mention they have to setup for a sequel because there's zero chance they let the ME IP die.\n\nCrying about the ME3 ending is about the stupidest gaming related hill to die on.",
"Yeah. and wierd al playing rambo in UHF. \n\nOP saying 'bond went away for several years' is wrong. 3/4 flicks Brosnan was in came out the same years as each austin powers movie, roughly two years apart each. \n\nit took 4 years for casino royale to come out after the last brosnan film, but it took 6 years for goldeneye to roll out after the dalton movies.",
"Thank you OP, thank you.",
"Yeah I would call quarians gypsies but the batarians are more like the stereotype of eastern Europe and Russia. They hate everyone, are blunt and rude and their appearance usually signals something illegal and violent is going to happen",

"Have you ever seen the Rambo movies you're using as examples in this argument? *First Blood* is about PTSD and the treatment of American Vietnam vets when they returned back to the states. The violence in the movie is between Rambo and the Washington State Police. It isn't really \"rah rah\" American jingoism, and the degree to which its sequels were had already been parodied in plenty of other American media before *Austin Powers* came out.",

"How does it effect the reaper fight when you get the same multiple choice ending no matter what you did through the course of the entire 3 games? You're really not understanding my point at all. You can spend 0 time considering literally anything you do at all and the game will always end the exact same multicolored way. That's not the way it was meant to be. Yes some choices had resolutions but absolutely nothing effects the MAIN plot line of the game. Plenty of games make you make decisions that resolve them selves and have no effect on the ending. Pretty much every single game works like that besides games that you know actually have multiple endings unlike mass effect. What was supposed to make the series special was your choices from 1 having the potential to change the end of a trilogy years later. What if saving the rachni queen meant enough soldiers to defeat the reapers but immediately resulted in a war afterwards that the rachni won because the battle with the reapers left everyone unable to resist a second time? Killing the queen might have seemed morally wrong but ultimately turned out to be the right thing to do. Curing the genophage might lead to another war with the krogan but you might need them as well. What if destroying that planet to close the gate actually effected the end of the game? What if reconciling the geth with the quarians led to them turning the tide against the reapers and keeping them as enemies would mean you needed more allies to win the fight? There's many ways your choices could have actually mattered beyond just \"in my head canon i imagine they do\".",

"I kind of assumed it would just be the MAKO parking bit for 20 minutes.",
"Kai Leng is the worst character Bioware has ever created. Cerberus was nothing but batshit insane for the entirety of ME3.\n\nThe plot threads pulled in from ME1, namely the Genophage and the Quarian/Geth war, are the good bits of ME3. Everything else is mostly rubbish.",
"They are all spoofs on the classic detective/spy mystery character. That genre is one of the most common literary and film tropes.",
"And yet the only option that doesn't result in the death of humanity (or at least earth) is the Blue option as it is the only one that leaves the relays in existence. An earth as badly destroyed as we see it in ME3 can't support itself much less the hundreds of thousands of humans and aliens on ships involved in the final battle.",
"Honestly this is edited extremely well. I'm impressed and love it!",
"This is amazing, im so happy this exists.",
"Well, to be fair, mike myers is not an incredible actor. That’s why the film is funny. He’s a James Bond secret agent womanizer played by one of the most irritating and homely men in Hollywood. That’s partially what makes the satire so entertaining. \n\nGo watch “I married an axe murderer.” He plays the exact same character as Austin powers, but the context isn’t done in satire and so it really is just kind of grating. Then you have a [2 minute scene of gold](https://youtu.be/TPMS6tGOACo) with mike myers as his own Scottish father screaming about conspiracies.",
"Roll the tape!\n\n(Powers does, indeed, take the Swedish-made, penis enlarger pump.)",
"I'll have you know….….",
"Nah. If you actually look at the main plots of ME2 and 3 again from a critical perspective, the terrible ending was obvious in retrospect. But honestly the ending was nowhere near as bad as everything to do with Cerberus IMO (starting with ME2 which retconned them in a bizarre fashion). \n\nMost of the side/companion stuff was excellent as was the same as ME2, and that's the main stuff that people refer to when they say ME2 and 3 are great from a story perspective. But not the main quests. Like are you gonna tell me that Kai Leng was \"great\"? You fight Cerberus for the majority of the main quest because they're hostile for no coherent reason and have billions of bodies and resources to throw at you, rather than the Reapers. \n\nThe only reason Cerberus exists in the way that it does is so EA could spend loads on a big-name actor who gets all the cool menacing cinematic shots for the marketing. Cerberus's existence muddies the entire intended story as it started in ME1.",

"This needs to be nominated for an Oscar.",
"I mean the actual extended ending is sorta like a Fallout-style slide show, but there's no narration over what the slides mean, and they don't show every detail of all the characters etc, just what happens in the broad strokes depending on what colour you pick.",
"Is that more prevalent there?",
"You're literally crying right now about people having a different opinion then you on mass effect 3. Good try though.\n\nAlso please tell me how they were catering to people who didn't play the entire trilogy? That's like if in indian jones 3 it ended with him hopping into a flying car and going back to his home planet of signar 9. \"they're just catering to people who didnt watch the first 2 and wont know what's going on anyways!\" lol brilliant argument. Mass effect was a trilogy built on their concept of making the first series of games that would have your choices matter from one game to the next as opposed to what is the game industry standard of the studios picking a canon ending before making the next game in a series. No 99.9% of what you did didn't even come close to mattering. Also their terrible ending wasn't the difference between whether or not there could be sequels. \n\nI mean I had a lot of debates with people back when mass effect 3 first dropped and this was fresh. I heard a lot of bad arguments and stupid shit, but I think I can safely say your comment is officially the stupidest shit i ever read in defense of the ending of 3. Congratulations. It's right up there with \"you're just mad it didn't have a happy ending!\"",

Because of the ending to 3 I will never replay them, so the only thing I have to go on is how I felt at the time and what I do remember. I liked all 3 games right up until the end of 3. 2 was my favorite mostly because of how much choice you had in its ending (if only they learned from that for 3).

Every time Kai Leng is in a scene, everyone suddenly acts dumb because he's absurdly overpowered because the writer needs to manufacture some drama. But I digress, it's a good thing that you don't remember him. \n\nBut time can really give you rose-tinted glasses because you'll forget most of the bad stuff but remember the good parts. \n\nThe ME3 ending discussion reminds me of the Game of Thrones TV series discussion. Fans of the show seem to have forgotten how well-written the first couple of seasons were in comparison to the later seasons, because it's been so long. So they say \"GoT was great until the last season\" when really the rot was showing pretty clearly with season 5 if you go back and watch it again. And that rot became blindingly obvious by the time they got to the final season, which is why even the most casual viewers noticed. \n\nBut of course most casual players/viewers aren't going to do that, and that's fine, not everyone's a story buff, or remembers every detail. It just irks me when people say \"x was great until the end\" when x had problems well before the end. IDK, maybe I can say all this in hindsight because I knew the ending would be terrible playing the trilogy anyways.",

"I think the last few seasons of GoT were bad. It was obvious once they ran out of book material they were completely lost but they were still surpassed by just how awful the last season was, so it's only natural it gets more focus. As for mass effect I think the same is true. I have no doubt if I replayed them I'd find more things i didn't like but ultimately if the ending of 3 delivered they'd be nothing more then a few complaints in an otherwise favored game series of mine. A few bad characters and plot lines don't really have the same negative effect as completely ruining the entire trilogy with an epically terrible ending. Its a really good analogy with game of thrones, one i've used my self in the past because the same is true for me there.

"So, this is a \"how long do you have\" type of situation. Earth and Mars are devastated from the war and the final confrontation with the Reapers takes place in Eath's solar system. Moreover, we know from the other two games that there isn't much in the local cluster (places reachable from Earth without the Mass Effect Relay), so there's little chance of being able to get supplies in time to just keep everyone fed.\n\nWe also know some basics about timeline. Destroying the [Alpha Relay](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Alpha_Relay) delayed The Reapers by months. Nevertheless, this implies that--even with their far advanced very advanced FTL capability--it was faster to just move directly than to simply build a replacement and then use that. It isn't certain that the reaper's non-relay-based FTL is vastly superior to whatever the Citadel races had, but it is certainly no worse.\n\nOf course, we could chalk this all up to [sci fi writers having no sense of scale](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale).",

We would either need:\n\n\n* A society where you can afford to pay a personal Dungeon Master team to intelligently weave in your unpredictable choices.\n* A dramatic improvement in new kinds of artificial intelligence capable of doing the same for cheap.\n* Restricting the game to one where *everybody's* a minor playable-character just doing their own thing and co-reacting to one-another. Unfortunately that makes it hard for any single person to really have a wish fulfillment fantasy. \n\nTo me, many of the most successful games have not focused so much on narrative agency but on *tactical* choice.\n\nFor example, Deus Ex. You can't decide to simply ignore the evil conspiracy and run off to become a florist, but they're a huge number of options and permutations for getting the job done.",

However, if a faction turned out to be capable, then they could be distracted by the rumors of a Crucible and focus on building it in stead of fighting the Reapers. \n\nAnd thus, Renegade ending. The galaxy is split and each race stands and falls alone.

He’s self-aware of the inferiority and is conservatively pushing back on it. That doesn’t negate anything you said, Connery (and especially Moore) Bond films are all about ‘keeping the British end up’ without a hint of irony.\n\nAlso, while more politically, Britain was a high point of pop culture in the 60s. The Beatles and other British Invasion groups kickstarted their whole era. So it only makes sense that Austin Powers is from, and represents, that swinging London period.",

"> nobody made a \"Rambo was fucking ridiculous, what were we thinking?\" movie.\n\nIsn't that *Hot Shots*? \n\n> implying that the UK hasn't been culturally relevant to the world since the \"Swinging 60s.\" \n\nOk, so if I recall correctly, during the 70s a huge chunk of the whole glam and punk music scene was from the UK. Then in the 80s another huge part of the whole synthpop and all of that also was from the UK. And when Austin Powers came out in the 90s the second british invasion was still huge with britpop like Oasis and Blur, to just pop with The Spice Girls, or alt rock with Garbage, etc etc. \n\nSo I think they were still quite relevant, and I don't see that point at all. \n\nI've heard the whole *\"Austin Powers killed James Bond\"* take before, but I just don't buy it. While the Austin Powers movies were coming out, the whole Brosnan Bond movies were as well and they were huge. Up to *Die Another Day*, which probably suffered from being too over the top and CGI, similarly to how the Star Wars prequel trilogy fared, in a post-9/11 where that was mostly reserved for superhero movies. Instead I feel it had more to do with Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer, as well as the shift to movies like The Dark Knight in a gritty post-9/11 zeitgeist more than Austin Powers itself. \n\nUnfortunately they seemed to have overcorrect with the Craig films, the same way that DC did in contrast to Marvel. And lost some of the charm along the way. It might have been interesting to see what it would have been if they had gone in a more popcorn fantastical direction instead.

"> How would any of those choices change whether or not the reapers are defeated or destroy all life in the galaxy yet again?\n\nI had *hoped* Mass Effect 3 would be a game-length version of ME2's suicide mission. Where decisions you made throughout the series created a handful of different branches in the story and there was one or two \"optimal\" paths to get a \"happy\" ending.\n\nI think Bioware's poor job explaining the different endings really didn't help. Even the extended cut endings are terribly vague. Not in any of the 4 endings is there a concrete vision for what the future of that universe looks like. IMO, 'Destroy' is the only one that actually makes any sense and even that one lacks a lot of clarity. Control and Synthesis are even worse though with talk of \"creating a future with limitless possibilities\" and \"transcending mortality itself\".\n\nCompare the way ME3 ended to [the 8 minute exposition dump](https://youtu.be/FBQJSz1ZYJ8?t=1826) at the end of Fallout: New Vegas. It explains the consequences of your actions and their post-game impact on the characters you meet, factions you work with, and locations you visit. Your get to feel like your choices really made an impact on the world.\n\nAt the very least tell me what happens to the characters that I care about... does Shepard actually die? In the \"perfect\" ending you see him/her take a breath while trapped under a pile of rubble. How does Liara deal with that, especially after already losing Shepard once. What does Garrus doe after the war is over? What happens to Joker and EDI, especially if I picked Destroy.\n\nHow do they feel about ShepReaper in the Control ending? Do they ever get to talk with ShepReaper or does it not work that way? You would think that ShepReaper would find a way to reach out and say \"hey guys, it's me... kinda\".\n\nHow does Synthesis even work - can Tali finally take off her enviro-suit? Are Joker's legs 'normal'? Does Mordin's sacrifice even matter or would the Krogan still have to deal with the Genophage? How does the crew of the Normandy feel about being part Synthetic?\n\nIn the end, it all felt so hollow and it still makes very little sense to me.",

"I think the point is that it's an arguement about the grand scheme of human life, society, and politics.\n\nDestroy is pure chaos. It ruins most of the galaxy to defeat the current apex creatures. It leaves most of the galaxy in ruins due to the nature of synthetics being destroyed. And it also doesn't answer the catalysts long term concern that organic life will eventually be wiped out by synthetics. Assuming that concern is actually absolutely valid and that pure organic and pure synthetic life can't coexist forever lest one of them destroys the other, the destroy ending ultimately results in synthetics wiping out organics somewhere down the line. It essentially ruins the galaxy, and kicks the can down the road, not because it's the best option, but because it fulfills Shep's personal vendetta at the cost of basically everything. Is one person's revenge more important than the future of all organic kind? No.\n\nControl is essentially the \"perfect dictator\" problem. A dictator, whether good or evil, is still a dictator. If a bad person has absolute control, like the Illusive Man would have, the galaxy would be forever under this proverbial boot. A paragon Shep taking control is marginally better, but ultimately you're still handing control to one individual, creating a dictatorship. A good aligned one? Maybe so. Some people actually view this as a option. Take a look at religion. They rely heavily on the idea of one benevolent overseer who creates order in the world. Or take a look at The Expanse's Winston Duarte character, he essentially believes himself to be truly benevolent and worthy of ruling all of humanity. There are a lot of people who subscribe to the \"God Emperor of Mankind\" idea of one pure individual ruler who is fair and righteous. Take a look at Trumpism or Nazism. Trump is just another big daddy who his supporters believe is fair and decent and going to save the country because he's got it all figured out. But regardless of whether or not the dictator is in fact good or evil, is largely irrelevant. The point here is that *some* people will never accept a dictatorship, even a benevolent one, as the \"best outcome\" of human civilization. Whether that dictator makes the best decisions or not, that means the people under this ruler are never truly free.\n\nSo the synthesis option is essentially the \"Democracy\" option. Humanity and all other races including synthetics come to a perfect understanding and symbiosis with one another, a conglomerate of ideas and beliefs and movements all working to one singular goal with no single entity leading the pack. It's a group project, and everything is perfectly in sync and on board with the same philosophy of Democracy, togetherness, wholeness, personal freedom as well as duty towards society as a whole. There is no \"King\". But everyone is still moving in the same direction because everyone understands one another.\n\nSo really, control vs synthesis is an arguement about what is better? A perfect democracy, or a perfect benevolent dictatorship?",
"Honestly I think the ending was great, just poorly executed in the original design because it simply didn't explain what the fuck was going on, left tons of loose ends and was unsatisfying.\n\nI don't have a problem with the over-all concept of the ending, just the execution.\n\nThe extended cut was good.\n\nI never expected the reapers to be defeated by anything other than a Deus Ex Machina/McGuffin situation.\n\nEven if they'd gone with the original concept of Reapers destroying organic life to avoid entropy due to mass effects relation to dark matter the ending would still have likely been the same.",

"> So no matter how you slice it, ending the series by removing all real choice and not taking into account any of the players decisions throughout the series was a complete joke. I truly dont understand anyone who likes the ending unless they jumped into the series years later or started with 2 or maybe even 3. \n\nBro I don't get what the fuck you're talking about.\n\nJust because your choices didn't impact the final, final ending doesn't mean your choices didn't matter.\n\nYou're acting like all that matters is the ending, and not the journey.\n\nAnd I find this line of thinking silly as fuck.\n\nIf you didn't save the Rachni Queen, no matter what ending you pick you still genocided an entire species. If you *saved* the Rachni queen, her soldiers helped save countless people in the war with the Reapers.\n\nDid you cure the genophage or doom the Krogan? Regardless of which final ending you pick, you either ruined their civilization forever or saved them. After the red/blue/green ending, the Krogan are either going to die out or survive based on your choices.\n\n>Did you reconcile the quarians and geth?\n\nSame with the Rachni queen and the Krogan. Your final ending *doesnt* matter. Because whether you saved the geth/quarians doesn't change. Lets say you let the quarians die and saved the Geth. Did you choose control? Doesn't matter, quarians are still dead. Did you choose destroy? Doesn't matter, quarians are still dead. Did you choose synthesis? Doesn't matter, quarians are still dead.\n\nYour final choices in those situations are the *endings* for those races and those peoples.\n\nAnd if you save the Geth and the Quarians think about how this impacts the ending. If you saved the Quarians and Geth, choosing the destroy ending would literally *undo* the work you did saving the Geth in the first place. If you just let the Geth die, then you probably wouldn't care if you chose the destroy ending because who cares if Synthetics die? You already chose to genocide the largest group of synthetics outside the reapers anyways.\n\nAnd if you save the Geth and the Quarians, their work during the battle with the Reapers saves countless lives. How the galaxy will look *after Shep is gone* is entirely dependent on the choices you made before. If you let the Geth die, the Quarians are left barely rebuilding their society and no fucking help to anyone in the Galactic Civilzation that comes after the final ending. If you saved them both, then the Geth and Quarians are going to be integral to the rebuilding that will happen after Shep's death.\n\nIt all matters a lot. What did you want? A thousand different soldiers walking up and shaking Sheps hand going \"Hey man if you had let the Geth die I wouldn't have survived the war. Thanks to you, my wife daughter and future grandchildren all get to live.\" No, that would be stupid as shit. So the ending implies that the choices you made impacted what happened after the ending. Whether civilization thrived or floundered after Shep's death. Whether individual races were still around to partake in that thriving or floundering.\n\nLike what exactly did you expect? Did you expect every single choice throughout the *entire* three game series to heavily impact a bazillion different endings you could get? \"Omg, I punched Khalisah al-Jilani during every interview and that specific interaction didn't impact whether or not I defeated the Reapers!\" Like bruh, have you ever written a story in your fucking life?\n\nLike seriously?

Adam Driver's acting was phenomenal in that film and really sold the character's motivations... only for it to all get thrown away again with \"Emperor Palpatine is back... somehow.\"",

It was always going to be Deus-Ex Machina.\n\nIt took entire fleets and a hell of a lot of luck to take down ONE exposed Reaper, and only because it was desperate to call in its buddies and thought itself invincible. \n\nAt least we got the Tuchanka arc out of ME3, but most of the rest of it is so poorly thought-out.",

It's also fun to note how the XXX movie series kinda picked up from there for a while.\n\nI've always thought that the Daniel Craig Bond films are better films, but worse Bonds. \n\nThen again, there's more of a market for the gritty ones than the slightly campy, OTT ones these days.

You could invest literally hours of gameplay to build 'Civil Defense' stats through various quests, or completely skip them.\n\nRegardless of what you choose to do to help them, at the end all I see is the population on the Citadel piled in mounds looking like all their juices were squeezed out of them. \n\nI assume that includes the reporters, ambassadors, shop keepers, refugees, nightclub guests - everyone Shepard meets (including the new content in the added DLC), even Commander Bailey. Except for Aria. She's in a quantum state between the Citadel and Omega. Citadel Aria probably got juiced, but Omega Aria is still kicking ass.",

They were huge, but unmemorable at best and aged incredibly poorly at worst. *Goldeneye* is best remembered for its video game, *The World is Not Enough* best not remembered at all. \n\nSay what you will about Daniel Craig and his Bond era, but *Skyfall* is probably one of the top-tier Bond movies period, IMO.\n\n(I'd also say *Spectre* is among the worst, with *Quantum* getting a bit of a pass because of the writer's strike.

It doesn't fucking exist. And some might argue that life doesn't even afford this.\n\nI am aware of this. But the discussion is not about the possibility of true agency in a video game - that's expectations meeting some flavor of reality after all - and is instead on what the game seems to have to say about choice. Often people suppose that one of the game's big ideas and themes is about choice. I'm merely arguing that when it does address this in a narrative sense - and not because the game lacked the infinite manpower to allow for greater player latitude - that it argues something different. It isn't that choices matter or that they don't but rather that all choices lead down the same kind of path.",

Maybe you solved everything forever, or maybe you eliminated the only chance to fix anything.\n\nWhat about Control? If ever I was to believe in Indoctrination theory, this would be the ending for that. Turning the Reapers into your earn personal army doesn't really fix anything. The galaxy just needs to fear YOU next.\n\nAnd Synthesis. The weird one. The one that feels most \"classic scifi\" to me, if you ever read Clarke or Aasimov or the like.

">\"the final final ending\"\n\nThat's a cute way of saying the actual end of the game. An entire trilogy that was based on making choices matter more then they ever did before ending with none of your choices effecting the Actual end of the game is utterly ridiculous.\n\n>You're acting like all that matters is the ending, and not the journey.\n\nActually no, im acting like the ending is an important part of the journey because it is. Why should any game movie or show have an ending if all that matters is the journey amirite?\n\n>And I find this line of thinking silly as fuck.\n\nSums up how i feel about pretty much everything you just said.\n\n>Your final ending doesnt matter. Because whether you saved the geth/quarians doesn't change. Lets say you let the quarians die and saved the Geth. Did you choose control? Doesn't matter, quarians are still dead. Did you choose destroy? Doesn't matter, quarians are still dead. Did you choose synthesis? Doesn't matter, quarians are still dead.\n\nThanks for proving my point. None of the choices you make matter because they all lead to the same multi choice ending no matter what. It didn't have to be that way.\n\n>And if you save the Geth and the Quarians, their work during the battle with the Reapers saves countless lives. How the galaxy will look after Shep is gone is entirely dependent on the choices you made before. If you let the Geth die, the Quarians are left barely rebuilding their society and no fucking help to anyone in the Galactic Civilzation that comes after the final ending. If you saved them both, then the Geth and Quarians are going to be integral to the rebuilding that will happen after Shep's death.\n\nYou get the same multi colored ending no matter what you choose... Again, nothing you did matters. Destroy the geth or not and you're still going to get all the same choices. Cool story that in your head canon the geth go on to do something or not after the game is over. In reality they could have made that choice actually effect the actual game.\n\n>Like what exactly did you expect? Did you expect every single choice throughout the entire three game series to heavily impact a bazillion different endings you could get?\n\nI expected the game to actually have different endings based on the choices you made as opposed to just offering a multi color choice that is exactly the same ending with different colored explosions. Crazy I know, maybe one day thousands of years from now the technology will be invented so that games can actually have different endings. Lol you're a clown. It's really not that hard to have made several major important plot points change the ending in different ways. \n\n>Like seriously? What a stupid fucking take on the ending.\n\nGlad you summed up your own comment so I don't have to.\n\n>you're just petulant and angry about the thing because you let the internet rile you up rather than actually think critically about it.\n\nLol thats rich coming from someone so obviously butthurt that someone else doesn't like the same video game ending that they did.",

"> That's a cute way of saying the actual end of the game. An entire trilogy that was based on making choices matter more then they ever did before ending with none of your choices effecting the Actual end of the game is utterly ridiculous.\n\nWhat the fuck are you talking about? Your choices *do* effect the ending of the game. If you cured the genophage the Krogan rebuild after the Reaper threat is defeated. If you didn't cure the genophage the Krogran fall into ruin and in-fighting all over again and never get over their war-like ways, *unless* you chose the synthesis ending. \n\nIf you killed the Quarians and saved the Geth, then the entire idea of the \"destroy\" ending completely kills the Geth whom you specifically saved.\n\nThe fact that the Catalyst didn't fucking spell it out for your smooth brain doesn't change the implication of the endings.\n\n>None of the choices you make matter because they all lead to the same multi choice ending no matter what. It didn't have to be that way.\n\nBut they do matter. If you don't have enough military might to complete the Crucible you only get the destroy option which is the worst possible ending outside shooting the Catalyst. If you had enough military might to partially complete the Crucible you have an option to control the reapers. Still not the best ending, but marginally better than the destroy option. And if you have absolute military might you completed the Crucible and had the option to use it's full potential to synthesis all life in the galaxy.\n\nAnd your choices impacted the *ending* because what happens *after Shep dies* is also part of the ending.\n\nYou're acting like your actions not effecting the situation in the room with the Catalyst is all that matters. You're saying that you specifically wanted every single choice to impact if and how you defeated the Reaper threat. \"Omg, I punched the reporter three times in all the games, why isn't that choice directly correlated to how I defeated the Reapers! This game sucks.\" Give me a fucking break.\n\nWhat happens in the Catalyst room and how you defeat the Reapers is not the entire fucking ending. The ending is the result that happens after the Reaper threat is destroyed. If you saved the Geth and the Quarians they both are around to help society rebuild. If you only save the Quarians and destroy the Geth then the Quarians do fuck-all to help society rebuild. The results of that specific choice are laid out for you.\n\nWhat *you* are bitching about is that every single major decision didn't impact *how/if you defeated the Reapers.* But every decision did add up to whether or not you were able to utilize the full power of the Crucible or not. And your decisions *did* effect how society was rebuilt and shaped *after* the Reapers were gone. The fact that you don't *like* this reality doesn't mean your choices didn't matter. They mattered for all kinds of reasons. Like if the Crucible was completed, and how society rebuilds, and if those races/species are around to take part in the galaxy that comes after the Reapers. That literally means *those choices impacted the ending.* They just didn't impact the *part of the ending* you would prefer. That doesn't mean it didn't impact the ending.\n\nBut defeating the Reapers isn't the *end*. The end is everything that happens after the Reapers are defeated or controlled.\n\n>Actually no, im acting like the ending is an important part of the journey because it is.\n\nNo, you're acting like the ending is the only thing that matters at all. Which is fucking stupid.\n\n>None of the choices you make matter because they all lead to the same multi choice ending no matter what.\n\nActually they don't lead to the same ending. The Catalyst room is not the only part of the ending. There is quite a bit of stuff that comes after that moment in fact.\n\nIf you saved the Geth and killed the Quarians, then after the Reapers are defeated the Quarians dont' magically come back to life. They are still gone and genocided as a species. So yes, whether or not you killed the Quarians or Geth changes your ending.\n\nIf you killed the Quarians, saved the Geth, then chose destroy, you destroyed the Geth and they and the Quarians are gone for good. If you saved the Geth and the Quarians and chose the Synthesis option, they help all of society rebuild after the Reapers are gone. That is a huge fucking implication for the ending of the series.\n\n>Destroy the geth or not and you're still going to get all the same choices.\n\nUhh you may or may not even have the Synthesis or Control endings for one. And even if you did, keeping the Geth has huge implications for the destroy ending.\n\nSo you're just patently wrong.\n\nAgain, you are conflating with \"the last choice of the game\" with \"the ending of the series.\"\n\nYou are saying your choices =/= impact the ending. Which is wrong. What you are actually complaining about is that your choices =/= impact the final decision of the game, which is *also* wrong since your war strength determines whether or not the crucible is fully completed and able to destroy, control, or synthesis the Reapers **or** only partially completed and is only able to destroy the Reapers. So you're wrong on both accounts.\n\n>It's really not that hard to have made several major important plot points change the ending in different ways. \n\nFeel free to make a better game and get back to me when you've done it.\n\n>Lol thats rich coming from someone so obviously butthurt that someone else doesn't like the same video game ending that they did.\n\nI don't care whether or not you liked it. I do care whether or not your reasons given for not liking it actually make sense.\n\nIf all you've got is stupid reasons, I'm going to call them stupid reasons.\n\nYou can say \"I would have preferred a different ending.\" and that would be fine. But saying \"Your choices didn't matter\" is patently false. You could say \"Your choices should have given you 50 different optional endings with all kinds of branching paths based on the various choices you made.\" and that would be a fair assessment, but that still doesn't mean the same thing as \"Your choices didn't matter.\"\n\nSo yeah.

"> What the fuck are you talking about? Your choices do effect the ending of the game.\n\nNo matter what you do, you will always be presented with the same multi choice ending from a Deus ex machina. That's not my idea of choices effecting the ending. What you mean is, your choices sometimes get a quick footnote mention after you pick one of your multi colored options.\n\n>But they do matter. If you don't have enough military might to complete the Crucible you only get the destroy option which is the worst possible ending outside shooting the Catalyst.\n\nYou get enough war assets to unlock all 3 endings simply by playing the games and DLCs. Regardless of the choices you make. So even when you make choices that lose you potential war assets you will still have enough just from playing enough content. Once again your choices don't matter. No matter what you did or did not do in any of the previous 2 games you can always get enough might to get all ending choices if you just spend enough time grinding.\n\n> But every decision did add up to whether or not you were able to utilize the full power of the Crucible or not.\n\nSimply false.\n\n>You're acting like your actions not effecting the situation in the room with the Catalyst is all that matters.\n\nClearly you don't understand even a little bit. The catalyst ending its self is the problem. They wrote an ending that introduces a deus ex machina at the final minute to give you a multi choice ending that completely ignores literally everything you did in the entirety of the 3 games (minus some mini game grinding). I don't want what you did to matter in the room with him, i want him and that shitty ending to not exist at all. The choices you made while playing the 3 games should lead to either victory or defeat against the reapers and there could be several variations of each of those outcomes them selves good or bad based on your choices. That's what i mean when i say your choices dont matter. Not that you never see or can imagine a resolution to any decision you made. I've read your response to me and some of your other comments and you seem to be under the delusion that games are incapable of having actual branching narratives based on choices and actual real different endings. They aren't. The choices arent either \"go live real life!\" or a game with a shitty ending that ignores everything you did. There's a world in between those 2 extremes.\n\nAlso I love that almost everything you talk about is from the extended cut of the ending. The ending that wouldn't exist without the people who hated the ending and complained enough for Bioware to at least do something extra. The original multi colored endings were like a 2 minute cutscene where virtually nothing had any kind of resolution. Were you out there screetching at everyone who didn't like that masterful ending as well?\n\n>No, you're acting like the ending is the only thing that matters at all. Which is fucking stupid.\n\nActually no, im acting like the ending is an important part of the journey because it is.\n\n>Again, you are conflating with \"the last choice of the game\" with \"the ending of the series.\"\n\nActually no im conflating the actual ending of the series with the actual ending of the series.\n\n>Feel free to make a better game and get back to me when you've done it.\n\n I'll have what ever opinion I damn well please on a product a company wants me to buy lmao thanks for the laugh though.\n\n>If all you've got is stupid reasons, I'm going to call them stupid reasons.

You're literal only argument is on the technicality of the war meter locking out 2 choices. Clearly not what I meant when I said your choices don't matter. Good try though. You can do anything in all 3 games and simply grind the war meter and get all 3 options. Wow what an amazing and impressive reflection of your choices. But obviously since your argument is so terrible I don't blame you for desperately grasping for straws like that. \n\n>So yeah.

"This is very weird to read. It's like a thoughtful and well written essay describing a parallel universe similar to ours but not quite the same.\n\nTo put it more bluntly, your point would be interesting and insightful if many of the facts supporting it weren't entirely made up. \n\nJust the idea that Austin Powers killed Bond films for a few years is quite hard to justify. The highest grossing Bond film ever came out the same year that the Austin Powers series was winding down with its distinctly less well received third installment. There then followed a 4 year gap before the series rebooted with a new Bond.\n\nThat's quite a normal gap for the Bond franchise, and happened only because Brosnan decided to retire against studio wishes. The years during and immediately after the Austin Powers franchise released are some of the most lucrative and successful in the history of the Bond franchise. If anything, Austin Powers' existence and success is a *reflection* of just how culturally ascendant the idea of James Bond was at that time, not a sign of its decline. \n\nIn terms of the direction of the films shifting as a response to Austin Powers, the backlash against a goofy swinging 60s Bond had already happened... more than a decade before Austin Powers released, when Timothy Dalton took the series in a far darker direction. Austin Powers is a spoof of the Roger Moore Bond, an approach to the character that had been thoroughly dead for a long time already. Basically nothing about the character was lifted from more recent films.\n\nMike Myers may have killed a few of the repeated gags from the Bond franchise by beating them to death, but the whole \"Austin Powers killed James Bond for a while\" thing is completely blown out of proportion by people taking a few Daniel Craig interviews out of context and running with it. If Austin Powers killed James Bond, nobody bothered to tell Pierce Brosnan while he was in the middle of making several of the most successful Bond films ever.",

"I gave up drinking when I started taking my anxiety medication. My doc and the pharmacist both recommended that I not drink so I just went with it. To be fair, I wasn't a big drinker anyways, but I did like beer. I would consume at restaurants, tour breweries on vacation, stuff like that. But I didn't like, drink every night or even most nights.\n\nI have a history of alcoholism in my family so I grew up being wary of drinking, or going to crazy. When I was in the US Navy, that was probably the peak of my drinking. When you've been out to sea for seventy days, a nice cold beer and a buzz was always welcomed. I totally get what he's saying about the weird \"what do I do\" situation though. People are always shocked when I goto a party or out to eat with friends and they ask why I don't drink. Its so pervasive in our culture, that when you don't do it, people are curious.",
"Great point about avoiding the hangover vs avoiding drinking altogether. That is the same boat I am in. And I like that I can make exceptions for weekend trips with friends where everyone is drinking, because I'd rather be on the same schedule as everyone during the trip to maximize the bonding. But in my regular home life, I'm done with going out just to go out and agree that the time gained as a result is well worth it. Thanks for sharing!",
"Thanks for sharing man. I’ve stopped off/on in the past and I def identify with a lot of what you’ve called out here.\n\nI think some other benefits are just feeling *lighter* even after a few days. Like you aren’t physically less heavy, but you just feel less…draggy? \n\nAlso my dick got hard in the middle of the day for like no reason like I was 20. That was wild.",
"Apparently he is talking about casual drinking, not alcoholism.",
"Thank you for watching! Yeah I never even thought about the time gain before but as soon as I stopped I was like omg. Figuring out how to have exceptions and enjoy them is awesome. I’m far from in a place and may never be where I think I can go back to it, but congrats!",
"It’s a tricky like to draw. Agreed though. I would not say I was an alcoholic but I would say it was pretty abusive drinking. The words we use end up carrying so much weight that it almost feels risky to try and attach something to it. Basically I would feel the desire and need to drink every weekend, and would, and in my case it was a big big net negative on my life.",
"I hear you. Yeah I don’t know what it is like to be an alcoholic as I don’t think I was. Sorry if this was misleading.",
"Do you drink because you wake up numb, or do you wake up numb because you drink?",
"A lot of my friends have been going sober for alcoholism and a lot more are going sober just for the reasons you describe.\n\nI hung out with my friend that was an alcoholic and really enjoyed being at a party with him with both of us sober. Since then I've cut back on my drinking in the ways you've described and find myself saving so much money and having so much more time on days off feeling better too.\n\nThanks for sharing. I hope being sober for the reasons you describe continues to be more popular. \n\nWhen I do share that I've basically stopped drinking people ask if I had an alcohol problem and it's kind of hard to explain without seeming holier than thou.",
"Exactly this. I used to have a problem and felt numb. A few weeks off and you start getting that free and clear happy spring in your step feeling like when you were a teenager. \n\nThe hurdle for me was that I felt like such shit that I was waiting all day just to drink again and feel good at night/evening. It's a vicious cycle.\n\nIf you talk to heroin addicts they hate dope and the lifestyle but they get dope sick if they don't use. Again a vicious cycle.\n\nSame thing with sugar/carbs. If you eat sugar and carbs you have a sugar crash and then you get insanely hungry and the easiest thing to grab and eat is more sugar/carbs.\n\nBreaking free of the cycles feels like you woke up from the Matrix."

After 2.5+ years of not drinking here are what for me were undoubtedly the worst and best parts of not drinking at first. Hope for anyone considering giving up booze the video can be somewhat helpful.

"What you're seeing here is a group of people who see themselves as the main character of the universe, and everybody outside them only exists as characters and plot points to their life.\n\nLike if the earth were flat and NASA did try to convince us it was round, realistically literally any other country would push back on that. But other countries dont exist when youre the main character. They cant comprehend that NASA is just an organization with a bunch of scientists and engineers who were born and grew up and lived lives and have families, no theyre somehow all characters in an organization dedicated to tricking the main character that the world is round for...control I guess?\n\nIts also what explains their obsession with Hollywood. Those celebrities are the most visible people with wealth, so those are the *only* rich and powerful and somehow they must now be the ones who control everything. They completely ignore the actual people with power, like upper executives of military contractors, banking/finance folks, and government actors. They dont know them by name so they dont exist and dont have power. This is why they'll throw hatred towards Tom Hanks, as if he has any actual power, while ignoring Bob Iger who straight up controls like a quarter of all film/TV media in the country. Its like that Chris Rock joke, Shaq is rich, the guy who signs Shaq's checks is wealthy. These dumbfucks cant comprehend the existence of the guy that signs Shaqs checks.\n\nHere with coronavirus, it only exists in relation to them. When they didnt know anyone whod gotten it, it was a hoax, even though thousands of people were dying in Europe a day, because those arent *really* people to them. And now the vaccine is here, thats also some form of control. For what purpose? Doesnt matter. Because the people doing the controlling are not people, not in the way that you and I would understand, theyre just characters with intentions that only exist in relation to the main character.",

I got it as soon as I could and going in for my booster in a couple weeks.* \n\nI trust scientist that work for big pharmaceutical companies given that their entire life's work and cumulative knowledge makes them them the best people on the planet to develop vaccines. \n\nI trust the peer reviewed research and clinical teams who also have not only the same high threshold of experience and ethical standards, but also have the liability of being responsible for giving the \"OK\" for human use.\n\nOnce a pharmaceutical treatment leaves that threshold and becomes a product, then we start to see a lot of massive problems with oversight and ethical practice.\n\nUnfettered opiate prescriptions have without question ruined millions of lives. This is largely due to lobbying and how it is legal to essentially bribe medical professionals to push an Rx.\n\nWhen these issues compound it breeds for an ever increasing distrust of not only pharma, but also the government at large. A few studies have been done recently that indicate (in descending order) general distrust in government, unfettered access to social media, and lack of education are the three primary pillars of why people are advocating against the vaccine.\n\nIt is completely natural and I think it's mostly-good that people are skeptical of \"big pharma\". However their line of reasoning and inability to critically navigate the media landscape means they are now throwing the baby out with the bathwater.",

Without actually misrepresenting himself.\n\n Since a lot of time people at events like this can view media in a negative light/with hostility.\n\nHis whole thing is centered around getting people to talk openly and in their own words and also really hilarious edits for contrast without pushing his own opinion into the discussion.",

A lot of people generally distrust *science* as a vague concept without realising that most scientists are just people with keen interests in their field and a desire to help develop new technologies/treatments/etc.\n\nOne thing a scientist friend of mine always points out is how much they get paid. Like, it's not bad money, but it's nothing to write home about. Most people smart enough to be researchers could make more money doing something else. The fact that they're not kind of proves they've not been corrupted by the system or whatever because that usually has some actual reward.",

Just last vid Andrew asked Tom’s son Chet Hanks : \n\nA: “(Unkown Question) Presumably: is the Illuminati real?”\n\nC: “Define Illuminati”\n\nA: “A elite cabal of child sex traffickers who control the global banking system”\n\nC: “No”\n\nThat entire vid was a light hearted mockery/exploration of Chet, but then the closing clip comes and I don’t know whether to read into it or not. I find it funny that we so openly mock the lady who claimed that the elite are drinking babies blood when just last vid Andrew asked Chet a very similar question. Again I think the lady is 95% crazy but she may be pointing in a general right direction that Andrew doesn’t fundamentally disagree with, same goes for the people who claim that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional",

"Ok first off\n\nThe \"Slippery slope\" argument is a logical fallacy, it doesnt mean anything. Seat belts dont mean we are going to end up in concentration camps, and anyone that makes such a claim as this (slipper slope) should be dismissed. You asserting \"oh x means y which will end up with z\" is just a lie. We've had seatbelts for 60 years and we still arent in concentration camps. Im not even entertaining this non logic.\n\nVaccine mandates happened in the past and they will happen in the future. They were not unconstitutional then and they wont be now. Its really that simple.\n\nSaying republicans are only 95% crazy is basically the problem. Republicans only want mentally unstable people to vote for them now, and they are attempting to create as many mentally unstable people as possible; by peddling conspiracy theories like baby blood drinking democrat vampires.\n\nThe fact that you can even sit there and go \"huh maybe these nutjobs have a point\" is part of the problem. Pushing conspiracy theories and mental instability is morally wrong. As far as Im concerned, thats what Republicans are doing. Its not ok.",

"I agree with the idea that your rights only extend to the area of which you are harming others, at that point your personal rights/freedoms are forfeited. I am happy the government is mandating the vaccine and am outraged of all the anti-science anti-vac that has killed more Americans than 9/11 by far. I have lost family who spent months in agony slowly fading away on a ventilator.\n\nHere is a CNN article with a quote\nhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/08/25/opinions/unvaccinated-cant-use-constitutional-rights-excuse-hamilton-offit/index.html\n\n“The government may prohibit otherwise constitutionally protected conduct to save the lives of others.”\n\nThis ones directly from the Supreme Court:\n“the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand.\" \n\nA mother and child’s right to life and to not die from covid over-rules your right to not get the vaccine. For the final time I am vaccinated, and support/encourage everyone to get vaccinated. That being said a vaccine mandate does encroach on your constitution rights, even if it is to protect others constitutional rights. I don’t believe that the vaccine mandate is unconstitutional, in my last sentence I used that wording to say it’s what the people in the video believe, who again I think are 95% batshit crazy and where their initial thought takes them is corrupted and a danger to society, however they are not completely 100% wrong with the direction. If you want to go into more specifics let’s focus on California. I like what California did 1000x more than the likes of Florida/Texas however during this pandemic they did go overboard and cross the line a couple of times. But I’m on the other side of America so maybe I can give give a personal reference. At the very beginning of the pandemic the national guard was deployed in Rhode Island and they prevented American citizens from crossing state lines. They set up military road blocks and did not let anyone through. Again, I would rather too much than to little but from my perspective there were a couple times where a line was crossed. \n\nI’m not a smart philosophy / debate guy but if you want to get into fallacy’s let’s do it. When it comes to the ‘Slippery Slope’, it is either a fallacy or not depending on the ‘warrant’ whatever the fuck that means. Basically “this type of argument is sometimes used as a form of fearmongering in which the probable consequences of a given action are exaggerated in an attempt to scare the audience, although, differentiation is necessary, since, in other cases, it might be demonstrable that the small step will likely lead to an effect.” \n\nJust cause I said slippery slope doesn’t make it a fallacy even though it’s a common tactic by the republicans. Do you think Biden wanting public access to everyone’s private banking accounts over $600 is a slippery slope or would you claim that to be a fallacy as well?\n\nRepublicans don’t care how fucked or immoral those who vote for them are and will say almost anything to get re-elected. This doesn’t automagically make the democrats “good”. The right are indulging qAnon bullshit to destabilize the conversation and enrage/engage their voter base. They let Trump control them and almost successfully pulled off a coup because they didn’t want their voter base to turn on them. \n\nBut let’s focus on these baby blood drinking Democrat vampires. Again 95% bullshit, with the man not so subtlety trying to pin it on the Jewish population. That line of thinking is a danger to society and has caused unimaginable suffering in recent times. I don’t support where these people are taking their initial ideas to, however let me end this by asking you a question: “Do you believe there exists a elite cabal of child sex traffickers who control the global banking system”\n\nAnd if your answer is no, asking questions like that is part of the problem let me give you one more\n\n“Did Jefferey Epstein kill himself?”\n\n\n\n\nI like this saying from princess mononoke: “To see with eyes unclouded by hate”. I feel that our hatred for trump, justifiably so, has also blinded us. Not all trump supporters are batshit crazy or racist. A lot of them are apart of the middle/lower class and have seen their quality of live decrease over the generations as select few have accumulated more wealth than ever before in history. They feel that there government harms them more than it helps them. A lot of them also wouldn’t give a single fuck if they made the lives of everyone else around them significantly worse as long as they could provide a better future for themselves and their families. I won’t put a moral judgment on that. I don’t know how to fix this at all, but unless you suggest we split the country in two literal parts and have the left go on the west side and the right on the east, than if we want to be one nation again under the same roof I think compassion is required and trying to understand the other side instead of dismissing them as evil incarnate should be encouraged.

Republicans bad, democrats good. Just because the republicans are bad doesn’t not make the democrats good. Now if the democrats were neutral I would agree with your point. However I can very much say and back up the fact that the democrats are also a treasonous terrorist producing organization. Hillary never met a war she didn’t like and the clintons most likely have had people assassinated. The email shit was a bullshit charade but there are many legitimate reasons for hating the democrats just as much as you hate the republicans. A large reason why trump won is because of how hated Hillary was, many people voted against her not for trump. In the same sentiment many people voted against trump not for Biden in the most recent election. I am fearful that the republicans will turn us into a fascist state and this next election is going to be dreadful, if trump (a insurrectionist) wins I would be scared for my country and question whether it is my duty to take up arms to defend my home. I hate the Republican Party. I hate a lot of the Democratic Party. I hate trump. That hate should not be equally applied to ALL the people who support him. The supporters/voters are blinded by hate for the democrats who they believe to be a treasonous terrorist producing organization, I wish to show them compassion and try to reveal that the people they support do not care for them and are abusing/using them as puppets for their own agendas.\n\nA parallel example would be a black person refusing the vaccine in America. I would say they are misguided and causing harm to their community but I wouldn’t blame them for it, I wouldn’t hate them for it, and I definitely wouldn’t wish death upon them.

Until it comes time to take up arms and fight I’m trying to solve this peacefully with love, as stupid as that sounds \n\nDo you think the democrats are good? If the democrats do evil should I take it out on their supporters the same way you do to the right? As someone who has spent countless hours trying to sway trumpists in America with no success (I have gotten those who claim trump does no wrong to admit some faults but no further than that). What do I do when I get them to acknowledge some of the republicans faults but then they come at me and say well yeah the republicans aren’t perfect but here’s a list of all the shitty evil things the democrats did which is why I would rather support the right than the left. What do I do then? Most of what the republicans criticize about the democrats is bullshit, as they are just trying to protect there own way of life with no regard for the rest of humanity. However, there’s the 5% in there that they aren’t wrong about and we need to acknowledge they are right with that 5% to get them to give up the 95% that is complete and utter bullshit. \n\nI just want to say that I really appreciate this conversation. As I wrote the above paragraph I felt like a fool, not even believing in my own words as I typed them. At what point do you disregard the small parts were they are not wrong and just say fuck you, you are a fascist. I don’t know. But half of the people and my country are whatever that is. In my small hometown with many middle/lower class that worry about the future of their immediate family above the needs of the rest of the world, more than half support trump. In my work of construction, it’s easily more than 75%. My biological father killed himself, but I was lucky enough for a man to adopt me, marry my mother, and raise me as his own. This is who I consider to be my dad. He supports trump because he believes that trump provides a more secure future for his family (in part meaning me) than the democrats would. He initially voted for trump out of complete hatred for Hillary, not necessarily out of support for trump. He knew of trumps past and the things he did and he didn’t support all of those things, but he believed that Hillary’s ledger was definitively worse. Then he sees almost all of the left ostracize him, ridicule him, call him racist, fascist, and even cut contact with him. His uncle stopped talking to his father because his father supported trump. He is now radicalized. He genuinely believes that they stole the election from trump and that there is no way that many people voted for Biden. I haven’t talked to him since the Arizona audits were finalized because I don’t know what to do if he still maintains that the election was stolen. Every time I would disprove his current theory he would say well now they are investigating this. I’m afraid he’ll take the bait of trumps recent stall tactic lawsuit and genuinely believes it to be the truth. You’ve made me reflect that my current line of thought was peace and love until the next election and simply do my duty to try and convince as many Americans as possible into what I believe is right. Then if he wins again, a line would be crossed that we can’t return from and I would stop being empathic and call it what it is as you do. But at that point it would probably be too late and the war lost, so now I sit here feeling a fool that my plan would result in a no win situation leaving everything else up to luck. But I’m conflicted because I also believe that your way of viewing and acting just furthers the divide and causes the situation to get worse \n\nAnother thing that I would appreciate your take on because I respect your opinion. If In 2024, trump wins the primaries and it is trump vs biden… how can I bring myself to vote for Biden knowing that he fully supports Israel’s crusade against Palestine. I spent hours watching the conflict in live time, it’s our taxpayer money that is funding those missiles killing innocent children. I loved people like Andrew Yang for his views on automation in the work force and the dire importance of environmental protection, he also split from the democrats and started the “Foward Party” just recently even if it may hurt us by splitting the vote. But even someone like him who I agree with 95% of the time, When he was running for election of NYC with a large Jewish population he gave no support to Palestine and said Isreal had every right to do all that they did and did nothing wrong, not a single war crime. I get that trump moved the embassy and would likely be even worse for Palestine but if I cave to the idea of voting for the lesser of the two evils than I am a hypocrite who is doing the same thing that many of the trumpists did to justify there vote",

Its only ever you that has mentioned evil in this comment chain, try ctrl+f. 4 results, all in your comments. Weird that you think im calling people evil though. Very telling indeed.\n\nIf a political party and its supporters attempt to overthrow democracy that isn't evil. Its just fascism.\n\nIf a political party attempts to sweep their coup attempt under the rug, that isn't evil. Its just fascism.\n\nIf a political party attempts to destroy the country they claim to love, thats not evil. Its just fascism.\n\nAgain, im not engaing in your both sides logical fallacy. The democrats didnt attempt a coup, and im not entertaining any comparison between the two parties.\n\n1 is fascist, the other is not.\n\nPlease leave any generalisations about evil or good at the Republican party door. They aren't welcome here. We deal in facts.\n\n> However, there’s the 5% in there that they aren’t wrong about and we need to acknowledge they are right with that 5% to get them to give up the 95% that is complete and utter bullshit.\n\nYou disregard their \"5%\" (more like 0.00005%) and call them what they are. I dont think you actually understand what fascisms entire aim is. They are not interested in the 0.000005% of times they are right. To Republicans, they are fighting evil. Democrats are the evil. I assume you understand what \"Good faith\" means and how a political system based on consensus cannot work when one side does not engage in good faith. The fact that you see how much worse the republicans are than democrats, yet still want to acknowledge that they have 1 point in a trillion; really is shocking too me. You have never engaged with a Republican I can only assume. Words are meaningless to them. If you call out legitimate fascism in the republican party, they will say anything the democrats do is fascist.\n\nYou see thats the problem. You and I believe in the power of words. Republicans do not. They believe they are fundamentally good, and democrats are fundamentally evil. Thats all that matters. I assume youve watched the video?

"I don’t know, specifically to these political videos, I know there framed as mocking the subject but I don’t think that’s Andrew’s intent, I just think that that’s our reaction. It puts a mirror up to us and we see what we want. \n\nThis is Andrew talking about it in a interview\nhttps://youtu.be/Y-pDV-PDWYY\n\n“It’s more just a great confusion. About who the other is, who the enemy is.. this like mosaic of hero’s and villains that we’ve been assigned isn’t necessarily real. I have my own opinions about different stuff but I don’t think we’re living in this like us verse the enemy thing that everyone thinks is going on. I’m not saying you shouldn’t care, I think everyone should be engaged in political issues. But if you turn off your phone and like turn off your tv and you just live your life, getting by, just staying safe and doing your thing.. how bad are things really? And I know things are bad for different kinds of people … (goes on to talk a bit about media) … there is some hateful terrible people out there and I have my personal opinions about where most of those people sit on the political spectrum obviously but at the same time it’s like Im worrying about a time where we move to a point where there gap can’t be bridged, like closed”\n\nI don’t think he thinks of these people as bad. When the person asked him if him attending the Jan 6 Coup Attempt made him bad, I believe he sincerely responded that it didn’t make him a bad person. It would make sense based on the quote that he thinks most of the hateful terrible people sit on the right side, and he doesn’t outright say it because he doesn’t wish to offend or turn off the people he’s interviewing and be labeled a leftist. But ending on questioning the French guy with that cut right on the answer. I think thats intentional, same with how the last interview had the closing scene than cut to Andrew and Chet talking about a cabal of child sex traffickers controlling a global banking system. We all went apeshit on Reddit over Epstein’s murder, how his murderer entered a public government office, and who set the hit on Epstein. Who would Epstein of ratted on to better his remaining days that now remains a secret to society. I think the question that Andrew asked Chet was along the lines of “Does the Illuminati exist?”. Chets answer was not no, he asked Andrew to define it, I think that is important. Now Andrew’s definition wasn’t correct he missed the mark in a similar way the crazy’s miss the mark but that doesn’t mean there not a kernel of truth there, I found it interesting. Maybe he believes the evil people with the money do hide under the guise of the left, and all these attacks on the right are justified because the right is full of idiot bad guys but it’s just a mosaic of villains we have been assigned not the real deal. A misdirect to keep our attention away from where the real terrible is, where the smart bad guys are hiding. He doesn’t say it directly because one it goes against the main audience beliefs, and two there is no proof as of yet. I think when he asked Chet that question he was being serious, not mocking. Now I have nothing to stand on and this could all be bullshit but it was the feeling I got in my gut from the editing and cut, and putting together pieces from interviews like what I posted above, I don’t know though. I can agree that I’m reaching here with nothing substantial, I just wanted to share a feeling in my gut\n\nTo finalize it’s not that they are not hateful. They are, but as Andrew said “most people are not hateful regardless of what they believe.

"You're adorable if you think cops give a shit about this lol\n\nIt's actually way more effective to post this on social media like Facebook and hope his friends out him. Cops don't give a shit unless it hits the news \n\nMy parents use to manage a medical building, even as a kid on we were forced to go to the building and do janitorial duties, empty the bins, sweep the floor, vacuum the carpets, etc., the area. There was two breaks in that happened in a span of a year, not much of value to steal just people being ass holes and making a mess. Patient files scattered all over the floor, hundreds of documents tossed up in the air like 52 card pick up only nothing was picked up.\n\nI remember that because they called us in to help clean up, the doctor on the first floor was emotional. My dad spent good money for a surveillance system and this was early to mid 2000s. One of those old fashion CRT tv with a vhs tape recording where every 48 hours you'd have to flip it to keep it rolling.\n\nSure enough one day as usual we went there and found the place was in shambles, same bullshit, files all over the place but as a young kid I was ecstatic because now we have evidence right? Surely this sucker is about to get fucked. Clear as day, we see this asshole with a baseball cap with a crowbar breaking through the main entrance, running around room after room and eventually leaving. \n\nParents filed a police report, I was too excited couldn't sleep that night like this guys gonna pay. That female doctor on the first floor just broke down and cried like how in earth did her place get ransacked three fucking times. I remember bugging my mom like did the police catch the guy yet? We kept calling the officer that was assigned to the case but always the same answer, we're on it but our hands are tied at the moment type shit until eventually I lost hope.\n\nWe are taught as kids how police are going to serve you and get all the bad guys but that doesn't happen 99/100 times.

"I didn't downvote you. I don't downvote anyone. It's just silly to make a broad general statement about how \"adorable\" it is for someone to say \"hopefully this was given to police and they find this guy.\" If police have evidence of a crime handed to them, they will pursue it. If you just go to a cop and say \"hey, someone stole my bike\" and you don't have any information outside of that, yeah they probably won't solve that case. If you hand them a video of a guy stealing a bike and the guy is clearly visible in the video, they will likely be able to find the guy... especially if, like in this case, the guy has a criminal record and is already in their system. \n\nOn one hand people say the police do way too much over-policing and the system is set up to fill private prisons and people get hemmed up on charges just to fill arrest quotas etc. Then, usually the same people who believe this, will also say \"the police won't even bother arresting people who steal your bike even if it's on camera! They'll only arrest someone if it hits the news!\"",
">If police have evidence of a crime handed to them, they will pursue it. \n\nThat's my point, they won't pursue unless it hits social media, it's just how the world operates in the grand scheme of things. I watched my friends backyard get broken into, cops came in walked around for 5 minutes and left without any paper work. \n\nIt's naive to think otherwise, I'm not trying to be a debbie downer that's just what happens. Seriously, did you think honestly think some cop would have went through their \"database\" to catch this criminal? Was there going to be a lead detective on facebook trying to match the still shots of the guys photos and somehow catch him?\n\nI'm just being real. They don't have the time nor care for little things. It's probably more annoyance they posted this on Reddit so someone has to do paperwork about it.

"Lol. They didn't have to look very far to find him. \n\n\"Townsend was in custody at the Lane County Jail after a previous arrest on unrelated charges. He was subsequently charged with Theft in the Second Degree, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, and Harassment.\"",
"My point is that it doesn’t need to hit social media. If someone gave this same exact video to the police and it was never posted online they’d still close the case because it’s an easy arrest. It’s a prior offender on film stealing a bike with his face right on camera. Police aren’t going to pass up an opportunity for an easy arrest. \n\nThe only time they don’t care/ignore something like this is if there is no evidence to hand them. If you report a bike stolen and don’t know who took it or have any video then, yeah, they won’t bring in the detectives to comb the neighborhood looking for a bike. Theyll get a description of your bike and tell the patrol officers “keep an eye out for a bike that looks like this” and if an officer happens to spot someone riding a bike matching that description they’ll stop the person and talk to them but they won’t have a special investigation unit solely on the case. They prioritize crimes by severity. If, however, your bike is stolen and you know who took it or can show them a video of the person stealing it they will take up that case and they will close it. It’s an easy/low effort win for them. It doesn’t require a video going viral or national news to get the cops to arrest a guy you have on camera committing a theft.",
"I think the commenter above is saying the thief is an idiot for risking his life for a BMX bike. The scooter guy rode safely enough given then circumstances",
"Man you clearly don't work in law enforcement so stop talking as if you know what happens. I went through this shit.\n\nI'm talking fucking facts. My parents brought a VHS with video recording, face pictures clear as day and nothing happened. Nothing. It's just how life operates, it's not high priority ever. Car thefts are a dime a dozen, there is enough surveillance in today's world you can get enough pictures of people doing it but it's another wash down the drain and let insurance deal with it. My uncle has had two Lexus RX350 stolen this past year. Cops literally told my uncle to deal with it through insurance.\n\nStop. Seriously, it's naive. I wish cops could all have the time devoted for the community but they don't and even if they did, running around finding Waldo isn't viable. Don't you think Mark Rober the glitterbomb guy should have sent every one of those people that stole his fake packages to jail? He made that device because people were stealing his packages, why didn't he alert the authorities?\n\nHe had on camera footage of people robbing him and had to take it upon himself to do something. Imagine if you could rob someone with millions of followers and still cops won't do shit, what happens when the average Joe gets his/her Amazon package stolen? It's fucking futile if you still don't get my point, this isn't CSI, you think cops are going to scan for fingerprints too when you report a crime?",
"Fight like the crow...fight milk",
"Sounds like you're surrounded by dumb fuck cops or you live in an area with a million murders a day so they refuse to arrest people even when they can identify them. I've had my car broken into, gave the cops the footage my front yard security cameras captured and the police had the guy arrested within the week. It did not go on the news or on the internet. I just called the cops, they came to my house and took a report, they took the video and they recognized the guy and arrested him. It's naive to think \"cops didn't solve my case therefor no cop will ever give a shit about a theft unless it's world wild news or gets millions of views online!\" Cops don't want to be called every day for thefts. If somebody is a thief they are going to steal more than once. \n\nIf police can identify the guy they are going to want to arrest him so they aren't called nonstop about it. They have to respond to a call and write a report regardless.. so it's not like they save themselves time by letting thieves go free. Or do the cops in your area refuse to even come if you call to report a crime? Maybe I'm just around the only cops in the country that do their jobs?",

"Projection is strong with this one",
"Yo man there are obviously cases that get solved but what is your argument right now? Do you honestly think every single crime committed is solved or some shit? \n\nI just don't get how people cannot fathom this point, majority of crime does not get solved, theft is probably the lowest tier of fucks given. \n\n[Police Employment, Officers Per Capita Rates for U.S. Cities](https://www.governing.com/archive/police-officers-per-capita-rates-employment-for-city-departments.html)\n\nI'm Canadian btw but here's a brief example, New York states 42.3 officers, we'll use the 60 total employees to help your case, that's also the largest officers to civilian ratio the others are 20-30 per 10k.\n\nSo roughly for 10,000 civilians, there are ~60 employees to deal with their concerns. That's 60 employees not working 24/7 so maybe even less so 40~ at a time.\n\nNot 10, 000 are going to be dickheads and commit crime but how about let's say 1% of them are dickheads, maybe you live in a shittier neighbourhood and theres 2% of dickheads out of 10,000. \n\nCan you say 40 cops can deal with 200 dickheads if they even could devote their time and patience to each person?",
"It had a break line by the looks of it?",
"I know people that cruise weirder places like bars for Birds!",
"Awesome! We call him Crow \"I just want the bike back\" Man!",
"I never said every single crime committed is solved. I said it's not incredibly naive to think if you give the police a fuckin video of a guy committing a crime that they could solve that case. And, as I linked you, the data shows that 48% of stolen bikes are recovered by police. So it's not even a long shot. Half the time a bike is stolen, the police recover it. And you said cops basically don't even care about stolen cars... they just say \"let the insurance handle it\" and brush it off. Then I linked data from California Highway Patrol showing that over 95% of stolen automobiles are recovered by police. So it seems like you had some bad experiences with police and in turn you think the police never do anything. It's not that I think police solve every crime.. it's that your idea of how much crime they actually solve is incredibly far off.",

"What a powerful story, and an amazing experience for better or worse. We could all use a bit less talking and a bit more of that listening.",
"I agree. Somehow, I related fully when he started talking about \"movie friends\".\n\nI've shared this one a couple times over the years elsewhere. It's weird how it makes me feel. It seems to feel different too, for those that have been there. A little more solemn, as you can tell where it ends right as it's beginning to start.",
"I'm in a situation where I talk to others who are suicidal all the time. Hell, it's been something I've thought about on several occasions. One thing that's very true is that you need to talk to talk to someone, and someone in your situation. Someone who can truly empathize. \n\nLife sucks and is horrible at times, but this is our only shot. There's no heaven or hell. You're dead and you're gone from this world forever. You are a unique person that someone out there cares about. You are the only you. How can we waste that? It slaps in the face of the universe. The creation of you took billions of years of evolution. You are more rare than a diamond. \n\nI'll always recommend something to someone who feels suicidle at all. If you can (this is hard now with COVID), take some toys to a cancer ward for children if there is a children's hosptial in your city. Learn and talk to them. Talk to the nurses. I've been lucky enough to do this, and without fail, each child I interacted with wanted to live, with very little fear in their eyes. They'll tell you what they want to be when they grow up. They are strong and full will. It really gave me perspective and hope. Not all of those children were going to recover, but they didn't care. Their smiles could power a city. \n\nThis kind of perspective doesn't work with everyone, but their will be SOME kind of trigger for them. Something someone can reach, which is why talking is so important. \n\nI believe if the poor girl in the story would have called earlier, he might have saved her. It also showed that there are people who can care about you. This guy was a stranger, but her death affected him profoundly. You're not alone in this world, though it may feel like it. I don't anyone I'm typing to know, but I want you to live. I care that you live. \n\n> The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a United States-based suicide prevention network of over 160 crisis centers that provides 24/7 service via a toll-free hotline with the number 1-800-273-8255. It is available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress",
"As someone who has struggled with suicidal ideation and also volunteers for a crisis/suicide text line, this really moved me. He was able to capture the joy, pain, struggle, and intangible elements of these kinds of situations very well. I'm definitely going to save and share this video. Thanks for posting.",

"It's worth remembering that it wasn't always like this. Cars were dominant in the Netherlands during the 1970s. Cities were designed around the car.

And even if the government was over promoting Uyghur culture (which they are), you'd accuse them of tokenism. \n\nHow pure and untouched must the culture be for it to be free of genocide accusations? Or do you think that Islamic Fundamentalism is something that is important to the Uyghurs, more than anything else?",

Plus if there happens to be a culturally significant spot that is important to China's government in some way, you can just kiss it goodbye.",
"> So what's all this reporting I hear of a cultural genocide?\n\nManufactured consent. This has been a topic since 2017 (the same time the US started a Trade War with China), and so far nothing of substance has come to light. I doubt you even knew what a Uyghur was before John Oliver talked about them. Most recently we have a guy dressed up in a Chinese police uniform (with a typo) spilling the beans to CNN and the Uyghur Tribunal. All the most damning 'evidence' comes from sketchy sources. Everything else is hearsay and some spooky pictures of fences with Chinese writing on them. \n\n> Videos of blacksites in Dubai\n\nWhat videos? \n\n> Do you think western media got everything wrong about...\n\nYes, and not for the first time. \n\n> the plight of **the Uyghurs?**\n\n'The Uyghurs' are not a monolith. You can find Uyghurs in every level of Chinese, and especially Xinjiang, society. They are in the police, they are in government, they are in the civil service, and nearly every 'concentration camp' is staffed by Uyghurs. On the other side there are Uyghurs in ISIS, and one even recently blew up a Shia mosque in Kabul. Syria estimates about 5000 Uyghurs are fighting in ISIS. Xinjiang is poor (as seen in the video) and a massive breeding ground for ethnic tensions and radical Islamism. And plenty more Uyghurs are secular and don't want to live in an Islamic East Turkistan. If the government doesn't get more involved in the welfare of the Uyghurs, then someone else will.\n\nSo the Uyghur's plight is that their region is poor, violent, and as a result, gets a high security presence (which I witnessed first hand).\n\n> Why does every country except from China think there's a genocide happening?\n\nI thought you said it was a cultural genocide? The countries kicking up the biggest stink about it are the ones currently supporting a real, quantifiable genocide in Israel and Yemen. And even they haven't come to the conclusion that there's a genocide, nor a 'cultural genocide' in Xinjiang (word has lost all meaning at this stage).\n\nI've seen how much pressure Uyghurs are under. I've been to XJ, I work with Uyghurs in China, and they face racism just as you'd expect, and the race riots of 2009 were a tipping point, and something needed to be done. The re-education of Uyghurs deemed 'at risk' has no doubt hurt a lot of families, and since supporting separatist groups is illegal in China, anyone who went abroad a joined up with those groups, no matter their intentions, will be in trouble in their homeland. \n\nIf you think it's bad for them there, maybe go by what is known and don't just believe any sketchy dude who says CHINA BAD.",
">you think it's bad for them there, maybe go by what is known and don't just believe any sketchy dude who says CHINA BAD.\n\nThat's the weird part. It's not just a sketchy dude. All the reputed news organisations in US and UK, Al Jazeera. Obviously I would trust them.\n\nBut now that I think about it. I think you might have a good point. Cultural genocide was a word unheard of until the Uyghur issue. \n\n>On the other side there are Uyghurs in ISIS, and one even recently blew up a Shia mosque in Kabul. Syria estimates about 5000 Uyghurs are fighting in ISIS. Xinjiang is poor (as seen in the video) and a massive breeding ground for ethnic tensions and radical Islamism. And plenty more Uyghurs are secular and don't want to live in an Islamic East Turkistan. If the government doesn't get more involved in the welfare of the Uyghurs, then someone else will.\n\nI didn't know that. So the re-education camps are really attempts de-radicalize Uyghurs? Hmm that's a possibility. \n\n>This has been a topic since 2017 (the same time the US started a Trade War with China), and so far nothing of substance has come to light.\n\nHmm it makes sense. China is challenging their trade supremacy and hence the retaliation by Western countries. They fear being taken over in international trade by China. Countries will be much less likely to trade\n with a country that's supposedly committing genocide. \n\nI realise I'm a very naive person in the world of politics.",
"Fuck the CCP and that ugly whinny the Pooh look-a-like.",
"Trying to consolidate power from Uyghurs by excepting them from the one child policy. Makes sense.",
"The camps are for counter extremism, China has had a problem with Muslims crossing the border and joining Islamic extremist training camps. They've been working with Islamic majority countries with ways to reduce extremism and education and de-radicalisation programs are an effective method. They're trying to be inclusive by celebrating local culture and exemption of minority groups from one child policy. Of course, the West is waging an economic war with China, a war that requires public support in order to justify sanctions and unfair trade conditions, so they spin this all to make China sound as bad as possible. What you end up with is a lot of uncritical takes including comments on reddit helping the CIA and global financial hegemony of the USA by spamming \"china bad\" in every discussion thread, and calling anyone who disagrees a shill.",
"Not true, one child policy only applied to Han Chinese. They are conscious of ethnic and minority groups and cultures and preservation of these cultures. The problem they've had in the past with Tibetans is the CIA was providing support to [right wing Tibetans](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FB7fjRaXEAgr4Tv?format=jpg&name=large) in order to destabilise China, and Islamic extremists are providing support to right wing Uyghurs to destabilise China.",

"Yeah no, its estimated that as much as 1.5million Uyghurs and Kazakhs are detained in \"re-education\" camps, meanwhile the whole of ISIS at its peak was 80.000, the taliban during the takeover of Afghanistan numbered 75.000 to 150.000, meaning that china alone is detaining 90% of all terrorists in the world. \n\nI call bullshit, either china is getting more terrorists than the entire world combined and dealing with it without any problems whatsoever or they're locking up people based on their religion.\n\nI swear these people would be cheering on Hitler if he ditched the national part of his national socialism.",
"I mean, it's not like US government has ever lied about It's intentions. So I'm skeptical of both sides now.",
"Yeah. I watched the whole thing, but maybe 1/4 of the way I started noticing his weird speech patterns. I even thought for a moment that it was some advanced AI doing the narration lol. Great video though.",
"So the problem is the scale, if we look at similar things the US has done in the past the scale is what makes what china is doing currently atrocious. \n\nYou can be critical of both of course, you can relate the Uyghur cultural genocide that china is doing to what the US did to the Japanese citizens living in the US during WW2.\n\nFor example, during WW2 the US put 127.000 Japanese citizens in internment camps. Which we now say is a horrible thing they did, but now China is doing a thing that is 11x the size of what the US did and there are people saying it's not as bad. \n\nYou can't on one hand say the US did something horrible and the other hand say China is doing nothing wrong.",

Even democratically elected governments!! \n\nWhy does the US care about human rights??

There's too many examples of US government prioritising self interest over human rights. \n\nThis suggests that might be the case here as well. I'm gonna keep an open mind on this topic. I'm gonna assume US government has vested interests on this issue because that's how they've behaved in the past.",

I mean the uyghur Turkic script is on their money…certainly not behaviour consistent with a country trying to eradicate a culture",
"> The problem they've had in the past with Tibetans is the CIA was providing support to right wing Tibetans in order to destabilise China\n\nYour own link doesn't seem to really support this claim, it's just a report on political attitudes in Tibet and strongly implies that the majority of Tibetans wanted independence. do you have anything else to back it up?",
"Do you know how they came up with that estimation…? By interviewing 8 dissidents (who are all now under CIA NGO backed payroll). They asked those dissidents to estimate how many people in their local village are going to the re-education centers and then just used the % and applied it across the entire uyghur population. Not very scientific at all. \n\nThe point also is to stop the spread of extremist beliefs BEFORE they become terrorists. China has an issue with Wahhabism as it’s known as the intolerant and aggressive form of Islam (think taliban). China can’t have that if it’s trying to boost the economy in xinjiang",
"It's weird that you're so downvoted for a perfectly apt comment based on the video. \n\nAll, OP didn't give kudos for the action.

"Initially yes that's how it was calculated but what do you know, turns out that sampling is a good way to figure out how many people are sent to camps. Someone in the government itself has leaked that the numbers are accurate, turns out 12.3% of Uyghurs are targeted for \"re-education\" camps. That along with satellite imaging has shown they are building these camps at an incredible rate 1.1million m2 per year and i'm guessing they're not giving Uyghurs they're own private suites. \n\n[This](https://qz.com/1599393/how-researchers-estimate-1-million-uyghurs-are-detained-in-xinjiang/) is a good compilation of the information from various sources/agencies/journalists/human rights activists across the world, some of which in China itself.",

"So what you’re saying is “don’t believe the entire community of NGO’s, human rights organizations, activist groups, refugees/survivors, legal experts, photographers, and historians around the globe: believe me and the CCP”\n\nIt’s very telling that you’re trying so hard to defend a historically oppressive regime against the increasingly obvious evidence of the cultural genocide of a group of people. I’m an American and I certainly don’t feel the need to defend *my* countries genocidal history and current tendencies.\n\nWhat do you say to this:\n\n>By showing [intent](https://mobile.twitter.com/adrianzenz/status/1402308153891442691?s=19), Mr. Zenz bolsters the argument that China is committing genocide under the treaty definition. He quotes Chinese party official Liu Yilei as saying at a symposium last year that southern Xinjiang suffered from an “unbalanced population structure” and the proportion of Han Chinese there “is too low” compared with the Uyghurs. In another case, researcher Li Xiaoxia wrote in a 2017 paper that “controlling the growth rate of the ethnic minority” was necessary to assure “peace and stability in Xinjiang.” Mr. Zenz estimates that the difference between an expected natural birthrate and the lower one resulting from “heavy-handed government interference” is between 2.6 million and 4.5 million lives.\n\nEvidence keeps coming out, the CCP just keeps saying “nope, not doing that” with zero proof of their own, and we keep catching them in lies (see when CCP said they released the Uighurs from camps, while the rest of the world tracked the expansion of hundreds of camps at the same time)\n\nThis all just smacks of Holocaust denial type shit, and you strike me as an extremely sketchy character.",
"Really not that hard to look up. First result for \"CIA Tibet\":\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program\n\n>As stated by Palden Wangyal, a veteran guerrilla fighter, the rebels were directly paid by the Americans to attack Chinese government facilities and installations in Tibet: \n\n>>\"Our soldiers attacked Chinese trucks and seized some documents of the Chinese government. After that, the Americans increased our pay scale\".\n\n>Some CIA trainees ended up commanding an army of 2,000 resistance fighters dubbed the Chushi Gangdruk, or \"Four Rivers, Six Gorges\". These fighters were specialized in ambushing Chinese targets from elevated bases in the mountains of Nepal."

"What happens when one prop fails? I mean besides the obvious, what's done to prevent major accidents if catastrophic failure occurs?",
"If a two prop plane can land when one prop fails, I'm betting a 6 prop could deal with losing one. But, i had the same question.",
"Has anyone crossed a drone-style aircraft with an [autogyro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogyro)? No need for horizontal wings, and could reduce the number of tilt-rotors needed.",
"**[Autogyro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogyro)** \n \n >An autogyro (from Greek αὐτός and γύρος, \"self-turning\"), also known as a gyroplane or gyrocopter, is a type of rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift. Forward thrust is provided independently, by an engine-driven propeller. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing across the rotor disc to generate rotation, and the air flows upwards through the rotor disc rather than down. The autogyro was invented by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in an attempt to create an aircraft that could fly safely at low speeds.\n \n^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/videos/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)",
"Looks cool but what's the advantages of this over a helicopter?\n\nCost, range, speed, efficiency, size, safety?",
"Environment. Uses electricity not dead dinosaurs.",
"Believe it or not I somehow missed that fact lol",
"Not to undermine what they have done, but there is a reason why all videos of this vehicle are with music and without sound.\n\n6 high speed props, this thing must be loud...",
"Hey, two of those guys interviewed me before rejecting my application!\n\n;(",
"Kind of eliminates the possibility for vertical takeoff though, which seems to be a major checkbox for most up-and-coming flying EVs",
"It has 6 rotors. Assuming they have the software and layout of the actual rotors correct, they should be able to lose two engines/rotors and still be able to fly/be stable. No guarantee, hard to say without actually knowing the specifics of the machine, but this is how some quad+2-copters work. Obviously could be wrong, and depends on factors like weight capacity and such too.",
"That's why I was thinking a hybrid. The main rotors would be powered, but only for vertical flight. Transition to horizontal, and they are turned off, while maintaining lift through autorotation.",
"So cool! Would be super useful for short range flights like for coast guard or hospital transports.",
"Looked it up, apparently it's very very quiet \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itP8-3j2UZI\n\nI'm impressed",
"What I am finding really curious is that no one is taking zeppelin approach with electric vehicles. Technology has advanced a lot and having propellers just push you forward instead of generating lift means you could fly significantly longer.",
"*\"You're not gettin' the job-y\"*",
"I believe Airlander have switched to electric motors.",
"If it is realy true, then I'm also very impressed",
"they have standards.",
"That makes sense. Thanks",

"Electric Airplanes are a thing too. No reason to believe that VTOL will be a thing.",
"Zeppelin with solar cells would be really cool. But people dislike hydrogen airships ever since Hindenburg",
"I like the flip up mechanism for the front two props.",
"In the event of a total failure/freefall, does the pilot just stay in? Can't imagine trying to jump out with a parachute while trying to aerially navigate that spinning blade death trap.",
"Which is ridiculous since people still travel by boat even though the titanic happened. Or still fly in a jet airliner even though we lose like two a year",
"You can make electric helicopters and airplanes.\n\nIt just doesn't make sense to do so, because batteries weigh more per energy than oil-derived fuel. 50x as much.",
"Look up Aeroscraft if you want to see someone trying to bring back airships.",
"Yeah, but it's unreasonable. We have different materials today. Even though helium has lower lifting power it's completely inert so that can be used instead, etc. Sailing ships in the past frequently didn't return at all and yet transport and cruise ships are abundant today. There's very little logic behind all of that fear.",
"How about you have a big fan at the end of the runway blowing at the aircraft and then they can do vertical take offs. Maybe just run a wind turbine in reverse",
"Just install a whole [aircraft parachute](https://brsaerospace.com).",
"I would prefer an electric version of Carter Copters.\n\nhttp://carteraero.com/home2/\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JsHzw_UM94",
"Isn't helium way too expensive to use for zeppelins.",
"From what I've read it's not so much more expensive, but hydrogen provides far more lift per cubic meter.",
"Very interesting and clever design. It's a combination of few other lift mechanisms.",
"Could be. On that note: Vacuum balloons would have even more lift per cubic meter of gas, but then you need to stop it from implodimg with tons of steel.",
"Perhaps carbon fiber could be used for strong frame while remaining light.",
"frequently didn't return? I think that might be exaggerated, the whole invention of insurance and finance was created based on the expectation that ships would return.\nGenerally people with ships not good enough to go on long journeys die doing shot journeys."

Going from on a tense and claustrophobic nightmare to bright sunny blue skies, wide open spaces and not even a shred of horror. Like they released a clip demonstrating how tense and scary it would be and then they released.... That. \n\nI would have loved the game if it was called anything else. Even the bioshock connection is great, but like... I played bioshock for the fear and Infinite was just esoteric. Calling it a bioshock game led me to think it would have some amount of tension but it is as just a mystery adventure.\n\n\nEdit: For y'all downvoting me, guessing you never watched this clip. \n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Y_DSfjAdhlU \n\n\nI saw this and then they released what we got. So if your view of the world is so fragile that I can't like a game because of the expectations that company set then the problem is you. Not me.",

I haven't played the game in a while so I'm not sure how it holds up.\n\nIt is definitely the most linear of any Bioshock game though, but as a younger fan that hadn't actually played much of the original Bioshock when it came out that didn't bother me at all.\n\nEDIT: Infinite may or may not be considered the most linear of all 3 games (I actually never played Bioshock 2), but is more so than Bioshock 1 for sure.",
"Audio engineer here: It's definitely the raw audio with maybe some light eq-ing and a smidgen of reverb. The room actually doesn't sound all that great. Kinda working for the guitar, I suppose, but it's not doing the vocals any favors.",

"By far my favorite Bioshock game and one of my favorite games of all time. Utterly brilliant story that made me want to loop it over and over again to see all the little details. Bioshock 1 and 2, while great, all kind of get lost into a blur of underwater ‘everything looks the same’. I’ve played them multiple times as well and I straight up can’t remember any moments from them. But thinking back on Infinite, I can think of dozens of major key plot points and events that blew me away. 🤷🏻♂️",
"> he's been able to meet Paul McCartney too\n\nIt's Paul's favourite song.",

"I'm glad you said this because so many people don't know or believe that groups like the Beatles and the Stones heard TBB and either wanted to emulate them or were influenced by them. TBB is arguably a top three band of all time in terms of musicality, originality, and contributions to rock music in general.",
"Yeah! His Smiths covers are so good. His voice really does capture the Morrissey crooning tone! he has it down with mastery. Im so excited to go through all his covers. (his cover of there is a light that never goes out is pretty unreal in how close he sounds)",
"This guy has a beautiful voice. Go listen to his channel it’s really nice. Let’s boost Adam!",
"This is how I felt when I recently played it for the first time! I had heard only excellent things, and could see it being a marvel of graphics when it came out. \n\nBut now with tech obv coming along, the look wasn’t as impressive as it once was. The controls and gameplay of bioshock were what grabbed me in the originals, and I just found like I wasn’t really doing anything early on - like I was just supposed to appreciate the environment. I dunno id still like to go back to complete the trilogy at some point. But I put it down.",
"https://youtu.be/Y_DSfjAdhlU\n\nImagine if we got this version.\n\nI only watched this before the game came out, I avoided everything else to not get spoilers. I was quite disappointed when I actually played the game later on.",
"I think the time it came out was a major factor as well.\n\nStorytelling has come a LONG way in recent games, but I feel like Infinite's story was just... better than what else was out at the time. I'm not saying it's 100% perfect obviously, but this was an Xbox 360 game which had (what I thought was) a great story, good voice acting, an amazing aesthetic, and awesome graphics (again, for the time).\n\nI think that's really what carries the game, and it's gameplay isn't offensively bad or anything, just somewhat bland, so if you're the kind of person that's all-in on the story or setting or characters, the gameplay doesn't really bother you.",
"and a matter of fact",
"Thanks!",
"Great cover.\n\nI dunno who is into hardcore music, but God Only Knows is a story beat in the new concept EP from the band Knocked Loose. It absolutely rules. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/btnVxNJJm-E",

"It was my first and only bioshock game. It's still my favorite story from a game. I wish I could forget everything about it just to replay it again.",
"It's interesting because I grew up listening to 50s/60s pop music, and I absolutely loved the beach boys. I have no factual analysis, but I seriously feel like they don't get a fair shake(maybe I just wasn't alive to see their recognition) And I say that as a RABID Beatles fan.\n\nI also feel similarly about the Bee Gees, those guys are fucking off the hook.",
"So good. I took a video of a group of homeless men singing “Sloop John B” in Washington Square Park with my wife a day after I proposed. It was a great memory. Their songs have a way of sounding awesome in any format",
"i really liked this part of the game, so cool!!!!",
"Never forget Bill Paxton - RIP!",
"Yeah, didn’t the Beatles directly credit Pet Sounds as one of the biggest influences for Sgt Pepper? Like, they were so blown away by TBB’s originality that they were inspired to try new styles themselves?",
"RIP bill paxton",
"I think Eight Bit Music Theory did a breakdown of \"God Only Knows\" in that game. \n\nThe Beach Boys version is already really interesting from a music theory perspective-- as in people argue over what key it's in. \n\nAdapting it to sound distinctively like a barber shop song was a very cool achievement.",

"This song is used so well in Love Actually.",
"Brian Wilson? I though Albert Fink composed this in 1912.",
"The reverberations in the bathroom/shower \"self-harmonize,\" which makes vocals sound much better. Most vocal tracks in professionally-done music are processed to have a similar effect.",

"Exactly. TBB were very well known and appreciated by other musical artists around the world. Brian Wilson is an absolute musical genius.",
"I feel like I'm in a bizzaro thread. I've never heard of any sort of widespread dislike for Infinite. It has a 93% on Steam vs. Bioshock 1's 96%. The only one with a history of controversy from fans is Bioshock 2, which still has an 89% on Steam.\n\nIn fact, the biggest criticism I ever heard about 2 was that it was just more of the first game, and a lot of people wanted something different. Infinite went a different direction to widespread acclaim.",

"Cmon, Pet Sounds is always up there, on all time, album lists. They are pretty damn revered i’d say.",
"It was ok. Not praise worthy in anyway just meh",
"When the production is stripped down like this, with just a rhythm guitar, a very sweet vocal, and the right acoustics, you realize just how fundamentally great is this song. Wilson's work never ceases to amaze me.",

"He’s one of my best friends - I lived with him at university, and I know he’s appreciative of the nice comments!",
"Definitely!/ Even though the Bee Gees had a tonne of hits themselves, and wrote a tonne of hits for other people, I can't help but feel they are kind of underrated outside of those in the music industry itself. It's as if they are only remembered for Saturday Night Fever.",

"The Beach Boys and The Beatles were in sort of an escalating rivalry of creativity. And then The Beatles came out with Strawberry Fields Forever and Brian Wilson was like \"why even live\"",
"The Stones are basically a blues cover band.",
"I saw him about seven years ago at The Bridge School Benefit. His voice was pretty shot but he's an old man now. He still hit the piano keys well. \n\nI honestly was just impressed he got on a stage in front of 22,000 people considering his past mental health issues. [Here's a video of it.](https://youtu.be/izLRp_An0_s)",
"That's beautiful! Not the best acoustics though, anyone know if he records somewhere else?",
"Thanks so much man! My mate below just alerted me to this. Appreciate it and the fact that you knew my reddit name haha",
"How do pats!!!",
"If you talk to any serious music person, even if tbb isn't their exact cup of tea, they'll tell you how innovative and well done their songs are. If you're talking to some random person who only knows older bands by whether Target sells one of their t-shirts... Then you're gonna get a lot unimportant opinions.",
"I am only a casual fan of the Bee Gees but I can definitely appreciate that their musical style and writing was influential. Didn't they also write a bunch of hits for other people?",
"Ahh this is me! Thanks so much everyone! Reading these comments really makes my day 🙏❤️",
"I legit got goosebumps listening to this.",

"I worked at a 50s/60s/70s radio station in high school and my dad had a bootleg Beach Boys cassette that I listened to with him a lot. I'm 40 and i have a lot of friends who are convinced the Beatles are God. They don't even want to hear TBB. I feel like it takes a discerning ear to understand and appreciate TBB.",
"Honestly, I played Infinite before I played the original Bioshock and fucking *loved* it. Then when I played the original, I still enjoyed it, but actually preferred Infinite. I also called (most of) the twist in Bioshock, I somehow didn’t at all see the *real* twist in Infinite coming.",
"By critics. Most people under 50 dgaf about the beach boys unfortunately.",
"Back in the USSR is about as direct of an homage as you can get to The Beach Boys.",
"I appreciate the Beatles' enormous influence on rock music, certainly further reaching than TBB. Personally, I've never cried listening to the Beatles. I just never felt like their music was as complex as TBB (though as I got older, I realized their music was truly complex and often groundbreaking, but in different ways).",
"Anyone looking to learn more about The Beach Boys, and more specifically Brian Wilson, should check out Love & Mercy. Paul Dano as young BW, John Cusack as old BW. Really fantastic movie.",

Death Cab, Cake, the Raveonettes, Dandy Warhols, Flaming Lips...",

"As a smiths fan, Morrissey is a huge douchebag. From his politics to his personality, he seems like… a lot.",
"I realize that they gave credit and that Paul has spoken about it, but I don't think people outside of hardcore fans know that. The Beatles have endured in popular culture and TBB have not. People in their 20s have definitely heard of the Beatles and may even consider themselves big fans but that fandom just isn't there for TBB anymore. If people that age even know about TBB, they probably don't know how groundbreaking and influential they were.",

"Just a few minute perusal of Morrissey quotes:\n\nOn sexual harrassment victims: “If everything went well, and if it had given them a great career, they would not talk about it.”\n\nOn immigration: “Although I don’t have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears.”\n\nOn animal cruelty in China: “You can’t help but feel that the Chinese people are a sub-species.”\n\nOn Kevin Spacey: “As far as I know, he was in a bedroom with a 14-year-old. Kevin Spacey was 26, boy 14… When you are in somebody’s bedroom, you have to be aware of where that can lead to. That’s why it does not sound very credible to me. It seems to me that Spacey has been attacked unnecessarily.”\n\nOn an assassination attempt on Prince Charles: “I wish that Prince Charles had been shot. I think it would have made the world a more interesting place.”\n\nOn Band Aid: “Bob Geldof is a nauseating character. Band Aid was the most self-righteous platform ever in the history of popular music.”\n\nOn the failed assassination attempt of Margaret Thatcher: “The sorrow of the IRA Brighton bombing is that Thatcher escaped unscathed.”\n\nOn Beyoncé: “The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it’s not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It’s because of Beyoncé’s handbags.”\n\nOn vegetarianism: “[Eating meat] is really on the same moral level as child abuse. It’s the same thing. Animals are like children, they look to us for protection.”\n\nOn immigration (again): “England is a memory now. The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in.”\n\nOn reggae music: “The most racist music in the entire world… an absolute total glorification of black supremacy.”\n\nOn gender: “It’s hard to be a man. It’s made to be hard and I don’t know why. I think it’s easier to be a woman. The women’s movement has been so successful; the men’s movement has never been accepted. I think it’s not wanted.”\n\nOn black music: “I don’t have very cast iron opinions on black music other than black modern music which I detest. I detest Stevie Wonder. I think Diana Ross is awful. I hate all those records in the Top 40 – Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston. I think they’re vile in the extreme.”\n\nOn Brexit: “As for Brexit, the result was magnificent, but it is not accepted by the BBC or Sky News because they object to a public that cannot be hypnotised by BBC or Sky nonsense.”\n\nOn David and Victoria Beckham: “[They should be] dragged to the edge of the village and flogged.”\n\nOn the 2011 Norway massacre: “That is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Sh*t every day.”\n\nOn the Manchester attacks: “Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an ‘extremist’. An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?”",

"Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did",
"well done brother",
"The primary criticism I hear about Infinite (and I slightly agree) is that some of the combat sequences are far too long and the extreme level of violence contrasts with the tone and imagery of the rest of the game.",
"I've heard some fans complain about how it plays pretty differently from BioShock, and how it's an even bigger departure from the series' spiritual ancestor System Shock than BioShock was. That criticism generally get buried because Infinite, taken on its own, is an amazing game. Add in has some of the best storytelling of any game from the last few decades, and a lot of those complaints feel really nit-picky.\n\nAt some level, I get it. I would love to see a modern remake of System Shock 2. That doesn't mean we need to degrade an awesome game just because it wasn't something else.",

Inifinte while a fucking masterpiece feels more optimistic and creepy. Still Infinite is one of my top ten games, while the first two are really good, I feel it blew the other two out of the water with the story, music and atmosphere. The game play was much more action based which I enjoyed vs the linear \"go here, now back track 3 more times.\"",

"Really soured me on watching trailers and such, which still mostly holds. I've gotten to enjoy things more going in blind these days. Took me a while to learn to appreciate Infinite as it's own game rather than my expectations for it after loving the first two. The second is still my personal favorite, but I enjoy them all more now. Burial at Sea did a damn fine job as a look into Rapture as it was with the updated mechanics.

I'm 37, and I'm certain most of my contemporaries can name several albums AND songs from the Beatles, but would likely struggle to do more than one album from The Boys, and maybe a couple songs.\n\nAnd considering the two bands basically inspired each other to continue to make better, more different music, and push the limits of their creativity and production, the fact that the beach boys are held in a similar regard is kind of a bummer.",

"You probably didn't browse any forums where existing bioshock fans played infinite. 2 was okay in the sense that it was clearly a bioshock game, but the only \"new\" thing it *really* brought was big sisters.

Infinite was basically if you told a CoD development team \"what if American exceptionalism but all the hyperreligious people moved to a flying city before World War 1?\"\n\nThat's not to say it's bad, but it's *so* different from 1 and 2 in both gameplay and design that it wasn't loved on release by many existing bioshock fans.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/6L2kdpVNgnA\n\nAlso, as much as I dislike extra credits, back with Dan, they did some damn good analysis https://youtu.be/EzkS0mt3B50",

"I thought it was cheesy and kinda dumb. Like okay, they’re just covers of real songs in a different genre… what’s the point being made? Why are they even in this world? Just cuz it sounds interesting? To each their own I guess but it really took me out of the game",
"Most linear? What? Did you not play Bioshock 2?",
"Well... actually, I did not lol\n\nFrom my memory of Infinite, the whole game is quite literally \"go here. Do this\" so I assumed the direct sequel to Bioshock 1 was at least a little more open than that. But I guess it wasn't! Haha",
"I mean, he was right about Band Aid",
"That vibrato in your falsetto... DAMN. \nTHAT WAS BEAUTIFUL",
"Not to be a dick but… why are you just asserting that it’s “definitely the most linear Bioshock game” if you’ve never played 1 or 2 lmao\n\nNow that I think about it, Bioshock Infinite might even be less linear than the original Bioshock… you might want to edit your comment",

"I have played Bioshock 1, and I already edited my comment.\n\nMy memory may just be fucked but I don't really remember any open maps in Infinite, the entire thing seemed pretty linear.\n\nAlso I'm not claiming to be some authoritative figure on Bioshock, I was just offering my opinion to answer the OP's question. Feel free to provide your own top level comment with more accurate information.",

"uh well I mean its still amazing. Nobody else has every really done anything that sounds quite like pet sounds - and for good reason. Brian Wilson had like a 20 piece band made up of the most talented and experienced musicians in the music industry at the time. Nobody bothers to do that stuff any more. They use fake instruments which dont' sound the same.\n\nModern music just doesn't sound as good now that virtual instruments are so cheap everybody's using them instead of real musicians and the quality takes a big dip as a result imo.\n\nBrian wilson also had complete creative control unlike pretty much any major musician today. For the beach boys to have been as mainstream as they were, and to take the risks they took, is frankly crazy. The label spent nearly a quarter million dollars in today's money to produce good vibrations. The tonal shift is incredible. Just 1 year prior they had released barbara ann and help me rhonda and other songs which were pretty traditionally beach boy sounding, and then pet sounds comes out and it sounds much more like a phil spector record. And they were the *biggest* american band in the world at the time. The only bands period who were bigger than them were the beatles and *maybe* the rolling stones.\n\nI'm trying to think of a way to compare it to modern music, but there's just nobody as big as them who made such a shift as them. They changed the way music sounded. *Every* band changed how they sounded in late 66 and 67 to sound more like \"the california sound\". The beatles did sergean pepper the following year and the rolling stones did their satanic majesty's request. \n\nThat's what started the whole summer of love thing. Hell they coined the term \"vibrations\" in that context. Even gen z'ers use the term vibe which comes from the concept of energy aura's, which is what brian wilson's mom used to talk to him about. She told him dogs can pick up on bad vibrations. It wasn't a main stream concept at the time.\n\nI mean their influence is nuts.",
"What brand guitar are you playing there?",

"Your *That’s Entertainment* cover is fantastic. Been a longtime fan of that song. It’s the type of cover that actually forces you to hear the words and listen. So fantastic.",
"Your voice is terrific. Keep doing this because it is a pleasure to hear.",
"seconded! 🙌🏻",
"I agree with this person. You’re superb.",
"Yes, by doing an homage to Chuck Berry instead. That is indeed, no sarcasm, the most direct way to do an homage to the older Beach Boys material.",
"It's a game that never should have been a game, in my opinion. Trying to justify the gameplay via the story/world weakened the latter, and, overall, the gameplay really just felt like a chore. They were desperately inventing reasons for the main character to go through shooting galleries as they delivered exposition or foreshadowing.\n\nThen you had Elizabeth's incredibly-pared-down contribution to the gameplay, which stopped making sense every time she was pissed off at Booker.\n\nIf you completely removed every single gameplay-related criticism, there were certainly still nitpicks with how the multiverse theory was executed during the story, but *man* would it have been such a better piece of art.",
"Why does the video end before the song is over?",
"Holy shit dude, this gave me fucking [tingles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson). Your voice and guitar playing is *heavenly* Cheers!",

"Not at all man\n\n[Oldies 95.7](https://pandora.app.link/WjR01iEXukb)",
"Your truly talented my dude keep it up.",
"Probably because The Beach Boys never quite shook their sunny surfboarding image. Even when their songs got more complicated they always sounded pretty upbeat and pop. Bands like The Beatles and The Stones got very psychedelic, very sophisticated, and sometimes even a bit dark. They totally shook off their initial R&B sound and were hip right on through to the 70s. They grew with their audience while The Beach Boys kept the same schtick going their entire career.",
"Nah",
"Nah man, just a professional musician who teaches guitar on the side. Not bitter lol, what a strange reaction from you to go so personal. He doesn't need to show off, he just sounds amateur is all. Not his voice obviously, voice is fucking rock solid.",
"100%. Early Beach Boys albums dominate the first 5 year output of the Beatles and it’s not even close. Beach Boys had catchier pop songs, more lively, with more interesting compositions and unrivaled vocal harmonies, they generally feel more modern than Pauls old-timey grandma music that Lennon made fun of him for. Later career is debatable, but I would take Pet Sounds over Sgt Pepper any day, and SMiLE over any Beatles record period. Beach Boys still put out solid albums post Pet Sounds with Love You, Sunflower, Sunshine, Friends, and Holland. The shit Brian Wilson was able to conceptualize was more out there than what John and (especially) Paul were about to come up with. Seriously, listen to a SMiLE bootleg if you never have.",
"Much of their calories in sunflower seeds come from fatty acids. The seeds are especially rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid, which constitutes more 50% fatty acids in them. They are also good in mono-unsaturated oleic acid that helps lower LDL or \"bad cholesterol\" and increases HDL or \"good cholesterol\" in the blood. Research studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet which is rich in monounsaturated fats help to prevent coronary artery disease, and stroke by favoring healthy serum lipid profile.",
"Pls teach me to sing",
"I’m seeing him perform on Saturday!",
"Holy shit",
"The Beach Boys never shook their goofy surf sound even as their songs became more complex. They never evolved with their fans. They remained mostly square and radio friendly while most of the British invasion bands saw radical changes in their style and substance, with the Beatles leading the way in shaping an entire generation. Brian Wilson might have crafted some sophisticated tunes, but let's not pretend that The Beatles entire discography was made up of Paul's music hall numbers, (numbers which I've always felt were inspired, celebrating a style of music that was popular in the 20s and 30s. People loved it when Tom Waits returned to that era). \n\nThe Beatles mastered a far greater range of styles and genres, were able to unite both East and West, artsy and commercial. Sgt. Pepper rivals anything on Pet Sounds for complexity and creativity, and their later stripped down sound was a perfect contrast to the complex production they helped innovate.\n\nSmile is really good, but it wasn't released properly, and by the time the rest of the band were mature enough to keep pace with Brian, he lost his marbles. While The Beatles will always be remembered as the greatest band ever, and for having far more hits than misses in a very short period of time, the Beach Boys will mostly be remembered for being a pop surf and sand band, who later cemented their legacy with Kokomo, a bad cover of Wipe Out with The Fat Boys, and guest starring on Full House.",
"No. It’s raw. Honestly there are few pitchy notes. If it was edited, you’d expect him to have been careful to only edit in perfect deliveries.",
"Nobody gives a shit about them being on Full House lol. Jessie singing Forever doesn’t cement Beach Boys legacy. If your familiarity with Beach Boys is through references and songs placed in other mediums, that’s on you. To say they never grew out of the surf sound is kind of ridiculous, when SMiLE is as Americana as they come. Feel Flows is proto shoegaze, All I Wanna Do proto chill wave, the Love You album being proto new-wave. They were hugely influential to bands that mattered, not just to boomer dads who listen to boomer music.",

"Paul McCartney-like voice, love it.",
"Which makes Short'nin Bread the single greatest song of all time.",
"Dude this gave me goosebumps, I loved it",
"There's a great docuseries about music recording titled *Soundbreaking*, and one of the episodes really goes into production and mentions the rivalry between The Beatles and The Beach Boys, and later on Pink Floyd.\n\nHighly recommend for music people out there.",
"That’s my favorite cover ever of this song.",
"Very cool. Brought me back to watching the first season of “Big Love” on HBO",
"How is this not thoroughly, entirely, insanely flat?\n\nAm I way out of line? Sweet tapdancing crap, that's so flat. Not like 'doesn't have a lot of dynamic range', like 'you're trying to sing or play a note but you can't quite hit it, you're a semitone below and it burns us.'",
"Sublime",
"I adore your cover of Tears in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your music with us all!",
"Nice",

"Adam, could you do a retake with the full song?",
"Brilliant!",
"I agree with Paul. Stunning song, both lyrically and technically. It makes me cry ever time I hear it just because it's so frikking beautiful.",
"Surf backing vocals are not an homage to Chuck Berry. There's loads of homage to Chuck Berry in The Beatles, but USSR isn't an example.\n\nFor the record USSR was cowritten with Mike Love",
"I think it adds to the poignancy, it's a lullaby and childhood is short.",
"Why did you cut the video off at the end?",
"Believe it or not, [frog farting is actually quite lovely sounding](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ), much more so than croaking.",
"I like the Bee Gees' early stuff and their disco stuff, but Stayin' Alive is extremely overplayed by this point that I'd give to hear any of their other disco songs on the radio, which I think are better.\n\nBut I'll take Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons anyday. Were they as innovative or chameleon-like in their changing of genres? No, but they put out so many bangers through the '60s and '70s. I doubt they'll ever make a big comeback in popularity with the younger generation, but I can say I personally know quite a few people who grew up with the Four Seasons' music always playing in the background during their childhood.",
"\"Pet Sounds\" is in my top 5 favourite albums, but sometimes I end up thinking to myself, \"Well, the lyrics are good, but they aren't exceptional.\" But then I listen to it and I end up proving myself wrong. \"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times\" is, in my opinion, the peak of Brian Wilson's lyrics. It just feels so confessional in a way that a song from 1966 really hadn't felt.\n\nI often go back and forth over what my favourite song off the album is. But the fact that I keep coming back to \"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times\" has me lean towards that as my favourite on a flawless album.",
"Oh you’re probably right I could just listen to it forever",
"Are you me? Lol.",
"Okay you lost the thread here entirely friend. You don't have to be so personal it's really a bad look man. Commented when this had like 1000 votes it hadn't blown up yet. He got shared by BW, I'm aware my opinion doesn't mean anything lol. Not trying to tear him down lmfao the performer wasn't even the OP.\n\nI made $3000 in September playing bluegrass music so I'm doing something right. I'm not a hotshot but I've played with lots of my heroes and played a 1000 seat theater. You're obsessed with making this about my insecurities and I don't understand it because that's never what this was about. I saw a video, commented my opinion, you got extremely hurt for this guy and personal. You watched 50 seconds of my guitar playing in my bedroom and now know everything I can play. You're... interesting. \n\nSinger in the vid is great, I'm also great, no need to be so rude.",
"Again dude, his singing is really really phenomenal. He doesn't sound like an amateur, his guitar playing does though. It's like you're willfully misreading these to insert your own nonsense in here lol.",
"That’s a pretty epic “Actually…” lol",
"It’s definitely a special piece of work. I’ve had it on repeat for the past few days now and can’t get enough of it.",
"You've got tremendous talent. Guarantee you'll go far if you keep up the hard work.\n\nJust curious, are you an Elliott Smith fan? I'd love to see your take on one of his songs.",
"*Thinking about* Golden Slumbers can make me cry. It’s just so beautiful it makes me weep.",
"Same guy: https://youtu.be/g7MDkA7pnaI",
"Your vocals in this are superb. \n\nThis is a really hard song to cover well IMO. (Kind of like Hallelujah - it needs the right “feel”)\n\nAnd you nailed it! Nice job!!!",
"Given that the Beach Boys ripped off Chuck Berry and got caught out, I'd say there's a strong connection.\n\nMeanwhile, remind me who wrote and performed the song \"Back in the U.S.A.,\" which is the clearest titular and conceptual parallel to \"Back in the USSR.\"",
">Given that the Beach Boys ripped off Chuck Berry and got caught out, I'd say there's a strong connection.\n\nAnd who'd Chuck Berry \"rip off\". If you think of Surfin USA as a ripoff of Sweet Little 16, let me warn you:don't investigate hiphop. At all costs. You'll lose your mind!\n\nAs far as \"titular and conceptual parallel\", yuck. It's a pop song. No need to be so precious.\n\nAnd beyond all of this, Chuck owes his whole career to Bo Diddley, Hank Sr, and Robert Johnson, so isn't 'USSR' really just a ripoff of a Bach piece at the end of the day?",
"Yeah, who would have guessed in the lye 60s that Brian would be the last Wilson to survive. I’m really happy he’s still around and able to comment on his legacy as well as the new music that’s out there.",
"Well done man!! Great cover",
"Hey he just posted a full version [god only knows ](https://youtu.be/hXMN0RZeJa0)",
"While everything you wrote is a fact. You cant deny Beatles cultural impact and sales. Which quite frankly dwarfes Beach Boys. Now this doesnt mean much musically, but for the layman? Fuck yeah it matters. \n\nAt the end of the day, Beach Boys are still recognised en masse. Especially by those interested in music.",
"32/yo here. Honestly it's likely because some really weak beach boys songs are held in high regard, and it knocks down their more nuanced and really strong songs. I would bet anything that more people know Kokomo than Sloop John B (I don't need to guess, Kokomo has 3x the listens on spotify). I say this as someone who now likes the beach boys and hated them as a high school kid (because Kokomo sounds like if a good band did an ad for a travel agency)."

"Informative, but I always feel like a lot of these types of videos that compare zoning and housing and transportation in a country like Japan to the US/Canada just seem to gloss over the fact that Japan's population density *demands* this type of zoning. Japan has a population density of about 900 people per square mile. Compare that to the US, which is about 90 people per square mile. \n\nJapan is literally 10 times more dense in population than the US- of course the way they live will be different.\n\nEdit- Jesus, no where did I say that US/Canadian zoning was better. Read, people. I just said that Japan's population density *demands* zoning to be like this. They could not have zoning like in the US *even if they wanted it*.",
"Or is it the inverse? Did this type of zoning encourage the density that Japan now has?\n\nI'm not an urban planner and would be unable to tell you, but it would be an interesting topic",
"I'm not a fan of the way we do zoning in Canada. There is a 750-home development going in across the road from me. That's fine, althought the proposed plan was terrible. The neighbours hired experts and took the municipality+developer to court over it. One of the things we asked for was to zone it in such a way as to create a \"walkable\" neighbourhood. When our urban planning expert suggested adding a bit of retail to the mix, they were practically laughed out of the courtroom.\n\nHeaven forbid we build neighbourhoods where people don't have to drive somewhere to get a loaf of bread.",
"Just because you have the space for it, doesn't mean that suburban sprawl is right.",
"I didn't say it was... I'm saying there is a difference when you're dealing with 900 people psm vs 90 people psm. Japan couldn't have suburban sprawl even if they *wanted* it. Their population density *demands* this kind of zoning structure.",
"Looks like the US and Canada are the outliers here because most of Europe looks cose to Japan",
"Australia used to have a lot of “milk bars” with houses attached etc, but like US/Canada we have a looooot of space per capita, so we’ve gone more down that route sadly.",
"I like that he used Shin-Koiwa as an example: I stayed there for a month or two a few years back, and two blocks from where I was had a 7/11 across the road from a koi farm lol. I’ve seen pumpkin patches on normal streets in Okubo, and plenty of storefronts/restaurants in ground floor residential, but the koi farm was a new one.",
"There are way way better ways of doing zoning than we do in the suburbs in the United states. It's awful. I would give anything to see some more small towns with a strong main Street, but the corners at intersections instead of having houses have mixed commercial with the store on the bottom and apartment on top. A community is much stronger when you can walk to the end of your street to go to church, and then walk across that intersection to get brunch at a local restaurant, and then go pick out something at the bike shop across the street from that, where the families that on the shop and the restaurant live right at top their business and you know them.\n\nInstead we have towns with no main street, just an asphalt wasteland in front of a strip mall. All of the nice houses are together by themselves with huge lawns (which I'm not opposed to buying of themselves) but all the commerce is 15 to 20 minutes away in a different neighborhood that is filled with parking lot after parking lot after parking lot with big box stores in the middle, and hideous ugly and soul crushing public housing right next door for poor people to work there and serve the neighboring upper middle class.",
">Compare that to the US, which is about 90 people per square mile.\n\nDensity is not the main reason why the zoning in USA is as it is. Zoning in the USA was designed to segregate poor people from the middle class. Its goal was never to create good livable places. Or not \"good livable places\" in the modern sense but just as \"free of poor people\". And let's not talk about the racism that was also part of the design.\n\nAnyway, at this moment what the USA has to do is to change how does zoning to something that creates better and more sustainable lives for all citizens. And that is possible to do right now, and in some places is already happening.",
"There is an entire series much like this video on all the zoning sins of North America (US and Canada) that goes really deep into how pretty much everything we do in NA is why our cities and suburbs are so horrible to walk/bike in compared to a lot of the other parts of the world.",
"> Japan's population density demands this type of zoning. Japan has a population density of about 900 people per square mile.\n\nIn the context of our cities you have the relationship between population density and housing density backwards. If you allow housing density then population density will rise. \n\nOur cities are mostly low density residential BECAUSE of the low density zoning laws.",
"Check out the channel Not Just Bikes, if you haven't already, you'll enjoy it!",
"> I didn't say it was... I'm saying there is a difference when you're dealing with 900 people psm vs 90 people psm.\n\nBut this is not a chicken and an egg scenario, one is a clear consequence of the other, you have lower population density BECAUSE you build urban sprawl and car dependent suburbia!",
"Bro, I'm not comparing the population density of our cities, I'm comparing total national population to total square miles in the country. How you zone doesn't change this figure. There are simply way more people per square mile in Japan than in the US... because Japan is an island smaller than California and the US is the size of all of Western Europe.....",
"This, and the video explaining it, finally made me realize something that’s been bothering me for decades but couldn’t put my finger on. I’ve been to the US many times and visiting or driving through some cities after a while makes something just feel.. off. A feeling that isn’t there in the older cities. Now I know why. It’s, for example, driving through a commercial area and it’s just an endless wasteland of square blocks with almost identical buildings with shops. No personality, no character, no age. It becomes very claustrophobic the longer I stay.",
"Japan also does a first come first serve for addresses. So when you go around none of it makes sense. You can have 1800 for one building and 5253 for the building next to it. It’s nuts",
"This is why we are fucked in NA",
"The population density of an entire country is basically irrelevant.\n\nPeople don't commute from Wyoming to Louisiana or from Southern Nevada to the Upper Peninsula, they commute from Elizabeth NJ to Lower Manhattan, or from Skokie to the Loop, or from North Berkeley to the Financial District.",
"BagOnuts is correct. Sorry, but math.",
"The whole Latin America as well, haha.\n\nI mean, we don't \"look\" close to Japan, but the zoning thing is pretty similar.",
"So wait, that means that in a residential area, you would typically never find a shop of any kind? So something like \"let me quickly run to the shop to get some eggs\" is basically non-existent?",
"This IS the way it should be in America. People should live where they work. What’s more is a lot of times we come to the opposite problem (lately for ppl I know) .. having to get a place rezoned residential because a bank won’t finance it to buy as a house if too much of the space is like “garage” or whatever.",
"Mind sharing the name of the series?",

"urban sprawl with its dependence on car transporation and single-family housing is just one of those trends in NA that has outstayed its welcome. It made sense when land was cheap as chips and population was sparse, but now days its the complete opposite anywhere a coast. \n\nIn this regard, we should really be relaxing zoning laws and/or making more walk-only areas in cities like in Europe.",
"Houston: What's a zoning?",
"Yeah this is the first thing that sort of hit me about living in the city when I had a chance to move there for a job... Living in suburbia you can't really effectively do ANYTHING without a vehicle, to the point that just running out for something quick can be a chore... But in the city, everything is around the corner, you can get almost everything you need with a quick walk, rarely do you ever need to actually jump onto transit let alone a car...",
"As expected, my blog is referenced in the video's description. Sometimes I wonder to what extent my blog actually popularized Japanese zoning and if this \"typing into the void\" blog of mine actually had some impact on discussions on the matter in political and academic circles, even if it has had some policy effects at some places.",

"Much of US and Canada instituted \"euclidian zoning\" in the 20th century, separating land use, but also making them relatively far apart. Combine that with wide streets, highways, large single family housing lots. To walk somewhere that isn't another single family home nearby is a long journey.",

"In the Netherlands most housing zones / suburbs have a few shops incorporated at walking distance. Most larger suburbs are formed around a 'winkelcentrum' which not really translates to 'shopping mall' well because of the small scale. \n \nA typical *winkelcentrum* has one or two supermarkets, a bakery, a household goods store, a hair dresser, a *snackbar* (fast food focused on take away) and a few other small shops. All within walking distance of people's home - however people mostly take a bike there if they need a few things, the car if they really want to load up on groceries. \n \nA side effect is that we don't have those eyesore mega supermarkets like in the US and for example France, things are way more decentralized and liveable.",
"Especially the 'houses only, not a single shop in the suburb, drive everywhere' is very North American, yes.",
"> people are so resistant to retail near housing\n\nThey are? That's so odd. I've not been to the US, but why wouldn't you want a corner store, some restaurants, cafe etc nearby? Like it's a Saturday and you don't feel like cooking so you wander down to the Asian place. Or it's been a busy day and you get home late and go buy the cat food you forgot from the Späti.",
"My best guess is that it's a mix of A) people getting fixated on the vision of the \"ideal American suburban neighborhood\" with blocks of houses everywhere and everyone is nice to each other and such. IMO, people might be attached to the idea of it more than the actual thing. And B) with the death of more small businesses, national chains take over, and they can often be super dirty and just non pleasant to be around",
"Zoning indirectly relates to a lot of issues in society for us in the US. We tend to live far from where we work with an average commute of 26 minutes. This means that traffic is common with people going between work and homes at the start and end of the day. This commuting also takes away time people would normally use for preparing meals so they instead pick up food on the way home. With our car-centric design the creation of safe bike paths fell to the wayside. Because of single family zoning it's uncommon for people to walk out of their houses and down to a convenience store for fresh food. This results in a lot of bulk buying of processed foods. (Could be argued this isn't an issue though as people could just take multiple shopping trips, but it's not how a lot of people buy groceries). Due to the lack of walkability some people just aren't getting much of any exercise. It's not uncommon to find people that don't walk, run, or do any form of exercise after work or on the weekends. This leads to health issues that cost society. This isn't even getting into our housing issues.",
"Japan has a lot of mountainous, difficult to inhabit land.",
"Yup, older areas/towns are so much more appealing!!",

"Because if retail was near your house then that means people who work retail jobs and shoppers of, gasp, slightly different socio-economic status might be nearby too and we simply can't have that.",
"A lot of people in this thread are talking about wanting to have shops near where they live. I don’t get this at all. I will say that I am from north America and grew up in a rural area. But walking/biking to a grocery store just sounds awful, even if it is close. I just moved to a major city and everything being so close together is just awful. The houses and yards are tiny, everything is noisy, there are high rises right next to homes, attached homes are the norm, and everything is expensive. I would give anything to move back to a nice quite neighborhood. Have my home separate from where I work/shop is ideal to me.",
"The best thing is you can have a small neighbourhood bar.",
"I'd guess that they want to reduce traffic in the area.",
"Australia (at least in Melbourne) it's glaringly obvious where people have lived for ages vs new suburbs. I've lived inner west most my life in Melbourne, and there's always been plenty of walking distance shops available across the several suburbs I've lived in. At worst I've had to pull the bike out and it's only 5-10 minute trip. But the moment you go past Sunshine (maybe a little bit further), you start to see the areas where it was completely reliant on milk bars being the one and only thing as cars were becoming commonplace, and then beyond that you end up in new estate nightmares. Those remind me so much of my trips to the States. Yeah great you got a giant fucking lot of land, but there's literally nothing to do around you.\n\nMy partner and I share a single car these days, and we only pull it out of the garage once or twice a month at most. Yeah you might pay more in rent (nowhere near as much as you'd think), but I'd take that to live in a walkable town any day. The time it takes me to cycle to the city for work, the guys living out in the new developments are still only halfway down the underdeveloped highway that's backed up the whole way in. If I'm not feeling up to it, I can train in and be there in 5-10 minutes, while the best PT options these new developments have is a bus stop that's a car ride away.\n\nI know Victoria has recently put a lot of more onus on developers to make new estates liveable, but I'm yet to see much in the way of action. I'd rather rent inner-city my entire life than buy in a new development.",
"How is it intuitive beyond \"I need to go to this general area\" if there is nothing intuitive about how the numbers are assigned? \n\nLike, I understand that the block approach is great from pre-automobile times when knowing your travelable area was far more relevant (Can I feasibly go to this place in a day), but the lack of sequential numbers seems like it's just a bad approach at any point in time.\n\nI have a feeling there's another Asian country that does the block approach but then sequentially numbers the units in the block, but can't recall where it was.",
"The best way to reduce traffic is to design cities where you need to drive to get anything. Classic American logic.",
"The thing is, it's a self-perpetuating cycle. We built a buttload of suburban, cookie cutter homes with the baby boom. There was no plan for retail included, so commercial districts formed in pockets that you had to drive to. Americans got used to driving to the store instead of walking, so why not drive to a Wal-Mart instead of to a bunch of other destinations?",
"It's more about reducing through-traffic in a residential neighborhood I would imagine.",
"The entire point of having neighbourhood shops is that they're for residents of the neighbourhood and you walk to get there rather than drive to some big commercial strip.",
"Also Japan has to deal with the japanese stereotype.",
"I’m SE Melb born and bred, so I definitely hear you. Used to have a milk bar just down the road, but nowadays you gotta deal with the Monash carpark(pre-covid of course). And I just couldn’t imagine living in those cookie cutter developments: I remember when Cranbourne, Narre and Berwick were three seperate towns, not just a wave of urban sprawl lol.\n\nI moved east now, and being a little bit more affluent you can still have shopping strips that do ok. But even as a youngster I always wanted a flat/shopfront combo, moreso as I do videography/livestreaming for a job now",
"11m of our 25m population live in Melbourne and Sydney, so I can relate lol.",
"Walking to a shop is better for the environment, some would argue.",
"You mean the site where an untrained hack guesses at economic reasons for things to happen",
"WWII broke a lot of the US, we got complacent with being the only home of manufacturing after having so many other countries be flattened while we were isolated from the infrastructure damage.\n\nInstead of thinking \"this is temporary\" we just pretended it could last forever and built everything wrong.",
"honestly the car culture of america is what segregated americans. guess which people couldn't afford cars and guess where public transportation tends to end .... by the rich neighborhoods.",
"As a counterpoint, I grew up on a 100+ acre farm in NA and absolutely loved Japan when I visited. It was surprisingly *peaceful*, I believe because of the design being described in this video.\n\n>everything is noisy\n\nThe noisiest thing in cities tends to be the vehicles. If you live in a city that's designed for walkability (eg. by putting houses close to shops), it's actually quite pleasant to be out on the street. Check this out [Cities aren't Loud; Cars are Loud](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTV-wwszGw8)\n\nI can't address all of your dislike of cities, just wanted to point out that some of your dislikes are due to the way NA cities have been designed.",
"Houston does not have traditional zoning but does have lots of rules that prevent density, tell you what style your building can be, etc. it’s de facto zoning. \n\nhttps://kinder.rice.edu/2015/09/08/forget-what-youve-heard-houston-really-does-have-zoning-sort-of",
"You’re in luck, most of North America is low density and doesn’t allow retail near housing. But the government shouldn’t be banning either lifestyle. It’s absurd to me than major cities like Los Angles require a car to get around. If you are a movie executive you need to sit in traffic between two meetings across town? That’s just a waste of productivity.",
"Care to elaborate on what he's getting wrong, and your knowledge in the field to make such assessment?",
"> demands\n\nYou say that, like North American style zoning is preferable. Why is it just demand, and not that this may be a better approach to developping urban centres?",
"A large part of the reasons I am currently researching my options to possibly emigrate to the Netherlands",
"American here, just wanted to chime in and say you guys have an amazing city down there. Nowhere is perfect, but I think of my time there with fondness. I feel like I should add a gentle sarcastic ribbing here in homage to you witty fucks, but I'm coming up blank. So, I'll just sign off with an obligatory 'fuck Collingwood'.",
"Its insane in las vegas. They are building thousands of million dollar homes at lake las vegas which is like a 30+minute drive away from the strip. There is not a fucking thing near those houses other than a golf course. I don’t understand why a rich person would want to live there. The options for grocery stores and gas stations are all over 10miles away.\n\nIts so disgusting how reliant america has become on cars. Even with ubers existing people still seem to hold the idea that you are a weirdo if you don’t own a car that costs a years salary and then waste an hour commuting to your job.",
"We're getting better. My city has had a code for 4 years now requiring walkable environments. This summer they just won what will probably be the biggest legal challenge. I'm tickled.",
"Is that related to the number having a lucky connection?",
"It also kills small businesses in favor of big commercial ones imo. Since everyone just drives to retail areas, most would likely rather just drive to big commercial chains like Wal-Mart that has more choices than say a small mom and pop shot that may have a more limited selection of goods, but may have what you need. If that said small shop was in walking distance, then they can survive as people can just buy there as a matter of convenience if what they need to buy is already there. This also applies to small restaurants, bars etc... \n\nHere in Tokyo, when I don't feel like cooking I can go to a nearby local izakaya or a small food joint (e.g. ramen shop) and have a hearty meal without having to take a train to the city center, which isn't convenient when you just wanna get a quick snack at midnight or after a day's work.",
"I live in Tokyo but a bit farther from the city center (rent is cheaper, commute is covered by my company), and it's really nice to still have a supermarket and small restaurants in walking distance.\n\nYou don't have to buy stuff for a week's worth in bulk, no need to fret on what I'd want to get for the week and can buy stuff I want per day basis. I want some curry today? I buy the ingredients on my way home from work at the nearby supermarket from my apartment. Lazy to cook a meal today? I just go to the nearby bar / small mom and pop restaurant and eat out.",
"The amount of times someone mentions Japan on reddit is too damn high.",
"The reason American cities are so low-density in their urban cores is because of zoning, not the other way around.\n\nTaking a city like, for example, Los Angeles - if the zoning didn't require everything be spread out, the city itself would be significantly less spread out. The people who are on the urban periphery would take the opportunity to live closer if it was more affordable, which it would be if the land was used more intensely, increasing overall housing supply in the core areas.",
"Did you reply to the wrong comment? Appropriate zoning of resi and light commercial has nothing to do whether you number buildings sequentially in a block or street.",
"Americans are hardwired into idealizing a quiet and unobtrusive suburban neighborhood with their own house and lawn and nothing getting in the way of that. Cities have had a huge renaissance over the past 30 years, but many people are stuck in this mindset. Even some city residents are stuck in this mindset and fight any sort of new growth within their neighborhood.",
"You just have to know what order all the houses in that block were built in. It’s autobiographical...",
"We don't think that way in the US, though. You're 100% correct, but because of basically their entire life experience, people are stuck with the mindset that retail = traffic (not vehicle traffic). Because of how we've set things up, with commercial grouped together away from residential, and residential devoid of retail, the default associate is that retail areas are busy, noisy, and disruptive. They don't have a concept of neighborhood shops, because it's something they've never experienced. To understand the actual effects and convenience of something like that requires a complete change in thinking, because outside a select few cities in the northeast, it just doesn't exist.",
"It always blew my mind in Tokyo no one really knew the name of the street that their college or work was on and stuff like that (but knew exactly where it was and how to get there if course)",
"Hell there's decent meals even in all those nearby konbini",
"See now I believe you’ve been here for sure lol. That’s an esoteric enough cultural point that only someone who lived it would know. And I agree with you: for years my work has dragged me to Japan at least annually, and I think if not for Melbourne being such a great place to live I’d have said “fuck it” and pulled the trigger on a move over there",
"I lived there at a guest house for a year during my study aboard. It was such an amazing place. There was a curry restaurant ran by a local Indian family that I frequent at least once a week. \n\nMan, I miss living there.",
"Most of gang hits and gunfights I see on /r/publicfreakout are inside small stores. Said stores have armored shutters and steel bars on windows, and clerks dive on the floor when the guns come out in a well-rehearsed manner.\n\nPerhaps they don't want to give people from outside the neighborhood the reason to congregate near their homes and create trouble. The opposite to \"if you build it, they will come\".",
"Yep it was close enough to Tokyo to still be viable, but had a bit more of a chill vibe going on for sure. Place definitely left an impression",
"Japanese suburban and even highly urban areas are usually very quiet. US cities are abnormally noisy due to heavy traffic, etc. This is again a case of the US doing it wrong in a number of ways, and you extrapolating that experience by thinking the only thing a dense/urban area can be is like the US's. That's very much not the case.",
">The reason American cities are so low-density in their urban cores\n\nMy post is about high density zoning for low density populations. You may want to read it again.",
"The way I remember it, you'd have an address like 3 chome-3-1-12, Shinjuku, Tokyo. That would break down to:\n\n- 3 chome: third district in Shinjuku. You also see \"san-chome\", which is the same (san = 3). This caused me to get quite lost once looking for Nishi-Shinjuku before I realized \"Nishi\" is just \"west\". Some areas aren't broken into districts, or have special names themselves (like Kabukicho).\n- 3: 3rd planned block in the district\n- 1: 1st building on the block\n- 12: 12th suite/apartment in the building (not always specified)\n\nI only visited a couple major cities though, but once I learned what the address parts meant it made more sense. I struggled a lot trying to relate it to street names and numbers at first.",

"The shopping center near the station was awesome. Used to do most of my grocery shopping there.",
"Why is walking to a shop awful?",
"explore, lol. you bitch about your neighbors fence color from your strict HoA rules and then bitch even more about traffic on your commute to work. And you don't know of anything else because of car dependent zoning orchestrated by general motors at the government level.",

"That was fine when we were less than 50 million people.",
"American urban cores would have **high density populations** if the zoning permitted it.",
"As someone who lived next to the types of shops you're referring to for a decent chunk of time - nah, fuck that. You know what I don't miss? 6am garbage trucks emptying dumpsters outside of my windows on a daily basis and early morning delivery truck unloading.",
"He doesn't understand why Stroads happened.",
"Not in any European city I've been in. You'd never find a store/restaurant or a vending machine in a low-rise residential area anywhere in Sweden, where I live. didn't see anything like Japanese zoning in London, Paris, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, Milan either\n\nIt's a shame governments don't take more inspiration from what works in other countries. Japanese style zoning would really help with the housing crisis here in Sweden",
"look at history books why did we invest so much into interstate travel building roads and highways... \n\nlook at the neighborhood that have a sidewalk and those that don't \n\nhaving a car was seen as the most american thing to do.... remember how boomers would take a car trip to visit places...\n\nhttps://www.technologystories.org/driving-jim-crow/\n\nhttps://grist.org/transportation/racial-disparities-traffic-accidents-black-americans-covid/\n\n\"As road and highway development skyrocketed after World War II, the arterial highways of major metropolitan areas were designed to cut through low-income, Black, Latino, and Native communities. At the same time, those groups were less likely to own cars and more likely to need public transportation as a result of a large wealth gap. Although people of color became more likely to bear the brunt of automobile traffic and pollution, as pedestrians they were offered fewer safety protections: Federal automobile safety regulators fail to consider how likely specific cars are to kill a pedestrian in a collision. Vehicles in the U.S. are only required to meet crash safety standards to protect people inside the cars — not those that might find themselves in those vehicles’ paths.\"",
"The history of redlining and zoning laws begs to differ",
"I'm finally in an income bracket where I might be able to afford something ok/nice in Melbourne in the near future, so if y'all have any cute sisters lmk. I played eight man (union, so I'm not a bogan), could pass for one of those rugged kiwi chaps (I know aussie women prefer them...), and am passingly familiar with Harold Holt, if any of that helps.\n\nIn all seriousness, Japan is a blast. Where do you go up there for work?",
"While we can’t exactly rework all of America, one easy thing we could do is allow everyone who can work from home to do so. It’s annoying that some are dragging their feet on it. Driving everyday for at least an hour is so ridiculous.",
"Lol it’s always made me sad that union isn’t really a thing down here: if you like rugby in Melbourne, it’s usually the fucken Storm. To me though, league is the worst parts of gridiron and rugby put together. Union is so dynamic and fun to watch by comparison. Only other capital city I’d ever consider is Brisbane, but it is too humid for me and feels like a big country town lol.\n\nAnd I am living the Peter Pan dream: I attend TGS every year as a lot of my clients are JP game publishers. I have others too, but majority of our work comes from the games industry"

"I wrote allegedly because there was [TIL recently](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/org1rh/til_war_of_the_worlds_creating_a_nationwide_panic/) saying the story was overblown and that only 2% of radio audience listened to the broadcast. I still think that 2% of radio audience at that time is a lot. \n\nHere is the full video of [Orson talking on this topic.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VMbFnc0nTA) I have to admit I just want to listen to him talk. So i posted shorter version just in case others don't have the patience to watch the full thing",
"TIL [John Barrymore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barrymore) in the story who released his dogs, was actually grandfather to Drew Barrymore",
"A couple things: \n\n1) Each person voiced several characters, so the listener would have to completely miss that a bunch of characters sounded the same. \n\n2) Even if you thought it was a real emergency, your first instinct would be to dial in other stations and you'd find no one else was talking about it.\n\nThe broadcast certainly caused *some* disruption but I think people nowadays love to assume that people from the past were more gullible, when if fact we just can't imagine using a radio or haven't thought about some basic facts regarding the broadcast.",
"the story was spread by newspapers who saw radio as unjust competition.",
"The Barrymore's are one of (if not) the oldest acting families still going strong. John's *father* was the Patriarch. Shit's nuts.",
"that guy should do voice work.",
">I think people nowadays love to assume that people from the past were more gullible\n\nI've always thought a much better story to this effect is the 1833 Leonid meteor shower, which is often called \"the night the stars fell\" and is generally regarded as the most prolific meteor shower in recorded history. A really good meteor shower might produce around 100-150 meteors per hour, a really exceptional one maybe 500 or so. Estimates place the 1833 Leonid shower at around 150,000 meteors per hour at the peak of its intensity. One observer in Boston who was trying to tally them compared the number of meteors in the sky to the number of snowflakes in a snowstorm. Reportedly it was so intense that at points it was almost as bright at day, and many people came outside thinking it was the end of the world. Those reports may be apocryphal too, but it always struck me as a more plausible cause for doomsdaying than a radio broadcast.",
"The voice of the character \"Brain\" from \"Pinky and the Brain\" is basically an Orson Wells impression, and it's very good.",
"I mean people in the past believed some seriously gullible shit though so let's not pretend it came from nowhere.",

"Yeah the panic was wildly blown out of proportion.\n\nImagine something similar happened today. A facebook meme goes around telling people we're being invaded and it's realistic enough that some people buy it. \n\nThe next day, the news would be full of \"OMG Social Media Creates Massive Panic\", mostly based on interviews with the 4 craziest people who were dumb enough to believe.\n\nThat's basically what happened. It certainly tricked people and the anecdotes aren't wrong, but the idea that he created nationwide mass panic or that the masses were willing to immediately believe anything on the radio is just silly.",
"Like a giant transforming planet eater",
"That is crazy. I could sympathize with their alarm. Contrast that event to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake power outage when people called 911 on the milky way.",
"I read a book about Area 51 and the last chapter was some truly insane sounding shit. \n\nStalin apparently saw how badly the American public were scared shitless of this broadcast and it fascinated him. After WW2 the Soviet Union hired Josef Mengele where he perfected some weird deformity on children and they then sealed them in UFOs which crashed at Roswell. It was apparently Stalins warped and twisted attempt to create chaos and confusion in the US thanks to this War of the World broadcast. \n\nThe author of this book says she was told this by someone who worked at Area 51 and said there was a whole world of secrets being hidden there. \n\nThe book is called Area 51 by Anne Jacobsen and it drew a shitload of controversy because the entire thing is about the CIA Spyplane program, but then this last chapter throws it all out the window for this crazy sounding conspiracy she says she was apparently told. \n\nYou can Google all this if you want. It's crazy. I don't know much about this woman, but her book was well written, even if the last chapter is nuts.\n\nEdit: here's a link to this hair-raising conspiracy. \n\nhttps://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1124916/roswell-new-mexico-ufo-area-51-soviet-union-cold-war-aliens-alien-news",
"Please the world wasn’t even in color back then.",
"A couple things.\n\n1) it was 1938\n\n\n2) He makes the point at the end of saying that because the radio was new, people just believed anything that came out of it and they were poking fun of that. Even with such a crazy story, people really did still believe it, that's just how the culture was at the time. Exactly how people are with the internet now."
