"I wonder if the shockwave would rumble them palm trees so fast",
"A fanfic of what?",
"[A disaster film produced by Toho and GMA Pictures, starring Max Collins and Yasmien Kurdi, and released as part of the 46th Metro Manila Film Festival.](https://godzillafanon.fandom.com/wiki/Justice_for_Love:_End_of_the_World)",
"Cool",
"Mad props to the sound designer too!",
"That first short is LA, right? SF doesn't look like that.",
"Only two movie clips were used here, *Deep Impact* and *Terminator Genisys*. No LA scene or shot was used here.",
"Yeah, that first shot is definitely LA. There’s no place flat enough in SF to get that wide of a shot of downtown unless you’re on the water in the bay and the skyline/buildings don’t match anything in SF. Even the Transamerica Pyramid that’s destroyed in the next shot is missing.",
"Shock waves do propagate faster through the ground, but that was almost instant, so yeah probably too fast.",
"That looks like it is from Dolores Park.\n\nedit: and the skyline is the old skyline from before 2000. The skyline has really changed over the years. Since OP says the only clips that were used come from Deep Impact and Terminator Genisys, that clip must come from Deep Impact in 1998 as the skyline matches that.",
"definitely",
"So I just watched Start Trek VI last night where they used the original Praxis effect, so when I saw this all I could think of was that. It always amuses me when I see it in special effects. Yes, I am that Trek nerd. :D[https://handwiki.org/wiki/Praxis\\_effect](https://handwiki.org/wiki/Praxis_effect)",
"That is a very satisfying level of destruction. The flying fire truck was a little \"Independence Day\" but the bridge warping was an excellent touch.",
"Damn that looks just like my recurring dream about the end of the world except the bridge was full of people in agony, screaming to be killed/put out of their misery. No joke.",
"SF totally looks like that, from Dolores Park (pic: https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/12/11/36/19437502/3/rawImage.jpg)",
"We get it, you vape.",
"I feel like a lot of other films would have stretched this out to make it more dramatic. Making each scene so quick feels more realistic, though i have no idea if that's actually any more accurate.",
"That link has no information on it haha",
"The very first paragraph talks about what the Praxis effect is.\n\n The Praxis effect (also known as the Praxis explosion or Praxis ring)\n is a special effect sometimes used in science fiction films and other visual \n media. The effect is most commonly seen following the\n explosion of a large object in space—a ring or disc of matter or \n energy expanding out from the destroyed object. It is named after the \n explosion of the fictional Klingon moon Praxis at the start of the \n 1991 science fiction film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.",
"Your link has a backslash after \"Praxis\" which causes it to lead to an empty page",
"I don't see that backslash and the link works fine for me, weird.",
"[This should be a working link?] (https://handwiki.org/wiki/Praxis_effect)",
"link not working also has a blackslash.",
"That's so bizarre, on my screen that is the exact same link.",
"Just threw an edit on the comment and link, no backslash. I hit delete a bunch of times in case? I have no idea how that is on there for you.",
"Dolores*",
"If I have to watch the golden gate bridge destroyed one more time...",
"These fucking gender reveals, man.",
"Yo wrf!? I have family there, jerk.",
"It looks very cool as for fan project",
"The financial district finally got the cleaning it needed.",
"It's a shit effect, sorry trekkie, fax.",
"I’m surprised no one commented that this is the opening scene of Terminator Genisys. Different Sound mix, and good job, but all that destruction is from that film\n\nhttps://youtu.be/8Z-HyfHtNc4\n\nEdit: just watched it again, and same sound mix. I’m not entirely sure what happened here? I think they just took the scene",
"It's not a fan project, it's just a splice of Deep Impact and Terminator: Genisys",
"There is nothing original in this at all, it's just a splice of Deep Impact and Terminator: Genisys"

"Thank you for reminding me of this channel. Watched this full video, thanks.",
"Isn't this guy a prolific sexual predator/sex tourist?",
"What exactly did he do that was wrong that isn't just him traveling around having sex with random girls?",
"https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldAndBaldrDossier/comments/judnlm/is_bald_bankrupt_really_a_sex_tourist_and_a/\n\nThe videos are undeniably interesting. The man seems to have a very sketchy past though",
"Holy fuck that guy is a grade A creep",
"Pretty sure this guy is still cancelled",
"Bald and morally bankrupt",
"Not arguing his past or morality, but 3.16 million youtube subscribers doesn't seem very cancelled to me.",
"Dudes shady as fuck , but he’s the only one at least that I know of doing these obscure east Europe and Asia towns videos I find very interesting",
"Nope. Just stories based on stories based on nothing.",
"That whole thing feels like a hit piece. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with traveling around trying to pick up girls.",
"Damn, was just going to ask--can anyone recommend a similar channel with a non-creeper host?",
"No one is saying there is anything wrong with traveling around the world trying to pick up girls.",
"Okay most of that post is just trying to establish a link between someone named vorkuta. Okay even if we say they are the same person the negatives I see in this post is that he had a rape charge against him that was acquitted and he’s a bad man for traveling around and lying about his income etc to sleep with women. That post is way too long to read fully with him going back and forth trying to establish a link, if there’s something I missed that he did tell me.",
"imagine using the term \"cancelled\" unironically outside of twitter",
"Everybody that gets canceled still has their core fans. That's another reason I hate the whining about it. Chris Brown hasn't had to get a 9 to 5. Kevin Spacey is making movies again.",
"It looks like a lot of the supporting links have been taken down with some kind of DMCA/legal requests but there are multiple references to him bragging about using rohypnol to get women into bed. That is very different than just lying about income to get women into bed.",
"This sounds really funny coming from a sock puppet.",
"Not sure where you're getting that idea from but feel free to expound on it. You think my account is fake/automated or something like that?",
"Sock puppet."

"It's like looking at the npcs in a dystopian video game.",
"So much sadness and despair.",
"So many zombies with nice sneakers.",
"I blame Nick Foles",
"Fentanyl flooding the streets, it's easier than ever to produce high grade sedatives in pill form at a cheap cost because of how little fentanyl goes for. An individual can buy a pill press that can produce thousands of pills an hour off of a small brick of fentanyl, you just can't keep up with that type of smuggling & production.",
"... and untreated mental issues.",
"Maybe do something to help? Just taking video for karma harvesting isn’t solving the problem. You want it changed, engage with local social services like food banks and recovery organizations. Especially now. They need extra help.",
"The US has it's problems with mental health, addiction, social programs to help those in need, etc...but there is literally a massive labor shortage and some of the lowest unemployment numbers in a long time. There is not a lack of opportunity.",
"This is the country that wants to teach the rest of the world how to run their societies.",
"The first cause is always a housing shortage. It is not like there are vacant homes in Philly these people could be occupying even if they had a stable modest income job.\n\nAnd contrary to popular belief most often people start self medicating after becoming homeless, not before.",
"Do you think no other country has a problem with mental issues? Why is this only happening in America?",
"What have you done to draw attention to the issue? Walking through, sharing the experience and posting it on a huge social platform creates awareness and likely action from others.",
"It is a cause, but one that is significantly overstated.\n\nFor most mental issues are a side effect of being homeless, not the other way around.",
"This video got over 7million views. It worth more to spread awareness than what you think. Great to say go help volunteer but the real problem only gets fixed if the government makes the changes and that requires people to be informed and aware.",
"Building homes for them if the single most effective solution.\n\nFor most homeless social services offer a significantly lower return on dollar invested than simply getting them stable housing.",
"Do you have a source for that? I've always been under the impression that mental issues are a major reason for homelessness. I'd be happy to be corrected.",
"So you’ve been moved to action watching this video?? Maybe it was the link to a social service site the OP added at the end? Oh wait…",
"It happens in plenty of other countries. Walk around Naples next time you’re on holiday in Italy. \n\nAmerica just has the money to fix it, y’all just w o n t.",
"What would fix it, if it was simply a case of spending money?",
"Money for social services, give each of them a home, a case manager/social worker to look after them while they kick their addictions and get treated for mental/physical illnesses.",
"That completely depends on which state you live in, even then most of those jobs that are available are hardly paying that well. Yes restaurants are desperate for workers right now and are paying above the norm but I guarantee that won’t last once Covid is under control. It’s very difficult for many in the US to even come close to affording a house versus 50 years ago when you compare the cost of housing against the average salary/wage. The minimum wage needs a massive bump because the cost of living has shot up too. It’s definitely not like the movies anymore. A lot of people don’t have a ton of options. Most can’t afford university which means a lot of the better paying jobs are instantly off the table for you and if you don’t want to work a shitty job with shitty hours and shitty pay while trying to manage your growing debts then your final option is the military. It’s not really the land of opportunity when most of the decent opportunities are not accessible to most average Americans.",
"Agreed! There are good examples in the US, Canada, and the EU proving this.",
"Dude calls them “zombies”. I don’t think he’s really interested in helping the helpless. If he was, where is the call to action with links to social services to help? Fuck man, he doesn’t even add a “Call your congressman at…” to the video. Just karma harvesting.",
"Not in Philadelphia. Too many hands in too many pockets, take a look at the school system - it's like the old joke with the cops finding $50k-$35k-$8k at a drug dealer's house.",
"Sure, this is an ideal scenario. Hence me complaining about how you won’t despite having the money to fix it. Because of culture, corruption etc",
"Or maybe out of 7 million views there are some people that will be motivated to help at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. Or maybe it'll inspire people to follow politics and vote in elections. \n\n\nThe only way people see this stuff is in person or by video.. and personally I'm not flying to philly anytime soon. Stop being a keyboard social justice warrior.",
"Legalize boarding homes again, outlawing them basically made the far inferior shelter. Construct/buy apartments for family grants.",
"Exactly what will the republicans do to fix homelessness/poverty exactly? Except maybe lower the taxes on the rich, ship more jobs overseas and shut down some abortion clinics? Lol democrats are useless but republicans are evil. How you think that this is even a red v blue issue is sad. Neither party gives a shit about you. They only care about the green.",
"Your use of “keyboard SWJ” tells me everything I need to know. You are absolutely right. You are never going to reach out and help the needy.",
"Housing shortages is a misnomer I would even say. I would bet there are plenty of vacant/unused plots that are laying idle. More than likely because the rents/cost price out literally everyone, being used to store money away or a few other factors that benefit the parasitic capitalists.",

"I knew /u/gossubullo Was also /u/surreburres Can you imagine how fragile a snowflake they have to be?",
"Is this an issue with actual policy? For example, in UK there are some homeless and generally it is because they aren't allowed to take drugs in the hostels or places where they are able to stay. So policy is actually right, it's that some people are so addicted they don't cooperate or take longer to try getting off it. Usually there are programmes to help do this - is it similar in US?",

"I saw some documentary about this on TV in my country where a guy went and interviewed homeless people and the people trying to help in different states in the USA. They've got lots ands lots of programs to help people out. Usually you have to be drug free though but there are \"wethouses\" where people can live and drink and be on drugs. There's also a lot of volunteers that really do their best to help out. Spending their own money to try and help out. Don't see that much where I am from. I think it has something to do with their strong religious beliefs and social culture. That your neighbour is you kinda thinking, treat everyone kindly. And it does a huge difference and a lot of people recover from addiction and poverty thanks to these organizations and some even become volunteers themselves when they're ok. It just takes time and for some it's not enough. Some have just hit rock bottom with no will, hope or even possibility to ever recover. And let's not forget the U.S.A. is VERY big with a shitton of people and basically the states are their own countries with their own laws and style. So it varies greatly.",

It destroys the quality of life for residents, increases petty crime and sometimes serious crime like assaults and rape, and becomes hell on earth for the drug-addicted homeless people that live there.\n\nThese cities may have admirable intentions and I don't doubt they think they are helping, but they ended up creating literal versions of hamsterdam from The Wire.\n\nGood intentions =!= good outcomes.",

">how do I make it happen?\n\nIf you're actually curious on the \"business\" aspect of it, I have a buddy who runs stuff like that on different websites, automated accounts that respond/spam and stuff. First he had to figure out which site he wanted to use, and did a fuckton of research/learning on programming/scripting in general, and learning all the specific things he'd need to know to get the program to interact with the website and work correctly.\n\nHe then had to develop scripts to auto-generate account creation and bot-behavior on those accounts. Again, a lot of learning, making mistakes and learning from that. Eventually he had a basic program that would do what I mentioned earlier. Took awhile learning even more and improving the program to work better, faster, with more options/functions. Eventually he got it working how he wanted, and was comfortable with the speed/effectiveness of the program.\n\nThis part I'm a bit fuzzy on, but basically he found people who were able to help connect him to resources allowing him to sell stuff, 1000 likes/thumbs up for example, or thumbs downing stuff/voting down stuff for example, but really whatever a normal account can do that someone might want.\n\nThis is what he told me, at least, and what I remember off-hand, though I probably am forgetting or fucking something up. Either way, that's the very basic idea. Learn to program, learn what you need to know for the specific website/s. Write a program that does all that shit. Find people who will pay for it. Simple idea, pretty complicated to actually do, and I don't think it's even something anyone who *does* know programming should expect to do easily, as finding people to buy is the difficult part, according to my buddy. He got lucky and met the right person by chance, but who knows if someone's google-fu is strong enough.\n\nAll in all, if anyone actually wanted to seriously do that, it'd take them ages from the ground up. More than likely multiple years, since they'd have to learn so many specific skills, and the amount they'd have to know simply would take a lot of time, it's not really something someone who doesn't already have experience scripting/programming should expect to take up, unless they *really* want to learn that stuff anyway.",

"I've posted this comment explaining the situation [the last couple times](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/mpe2nb/a_quick_walkthrough_kensington_ave_philadelphia/gu9yr88/) one of these videos got posted\n\nFor people who are actually interested in how this developed rather than flogging a particular political horse\n\nKensington is a neighborhood in North Philadelphia. It's located not too far from the major highway I-95, and is also well-served by public transit via the Market-Frankford Line (commonly called the El, the elevated train above this street)\n\nIt was originally a neighborhood inhabited by Eastern European immigrants, who worked in garment factories, making things like stockings and hats - the textile industry was a key part of Philadelphia's industrial economy\n\nThe textile industry was one of the earliest hit with deindustrialization - factories moved to the cheaper and non-unionized American South, and then overseas, and Kensington was hit very hard by this de-industrialization. White Flight wasn't *as* bad here as in many other cities - Port Richmond, a neighborhood right next to this, is still largely white working class - but much of the white population fled and were replaced by Black migrants from the Jim Crow south, as well as hispanic immigrants\n\nBy the 60s the area had a large number of abandoned buildings, and the drug problem began then. First heroin in the 60s, then meth in the 70s, then crack and cocaine in the 80s and 90s. The neighborhood became a bit of a drug \"emporium\" because of its location - it's right near major highways and train routes, so it was a common place for people from outside of Philadelphia itself to go buy drugs. And all of the abandoned buildings created ideal places for people to squat in and do drugs\n\nBut though the area was awash in drugs and drug addicts, the abandoned buildings paradoxically helped keep the problems less visible. Large drug/homeless camps were established in abandoned lots and other marginal space - drug addicts and the homeless congregated there\n\nThe current situation in Kensington is caused by two things - fentanyl and cleanup efforts\n\n1. I probably don't need to elaborate too much here, but the opioid epidemic and the influx of cheap fentanyl from China has turned the existing drug issue into an epidemic. Kensington is the place where you can get the most potent heroin on the east coast, for the cheapest price. It's a place that draws in drug addicts, keeps them ensnared, and kills them via overdoses. And it's the most potent of its kind in the country\n2. Paradoxically, cleanup efforts pushed the problem from being somewhat invisible to being out in the open. In general, both the City of Philadelphia, and real estate money, have made an effort to buy up and restore/rebuild many buildings in the area. Kensington has excellent transit access to Center City, and is very close to the hottest real estate market in the city, the neighborhoods of Fishtown and Northern Liberties. Many of the buildings and abandoned lots that served as drug squats and homeless camps were bought up and torn down or restored, with the hopes that in a few years, Kensington will be the next hot real estate market in the city\n3. The proximate problem that led to the current crisis was the clearing of a number of homeless camps, particularly the biggest one in the city, El Campamento which was established in the CSX railroad cut to the West of Kensington. After mounting complaints from neighbors and community leaders, CSX and the city finally cleared out the homeless camp. They were able to get some people housed and/or in treatment, but many addicts refused treatment/housing, and the drug problem will always create more homeless addicts. But now these homeless addicts didn't have an established camp to go to, so instead they just started living close to the drugs - right under the El on Kensington Ave, which is what you're seeing in this video. Basically, cleanup efforts pushed the homeless addicts out of camps where they were mostly out of sight, and into streets where they were very visible\n\nThe problem is really bad, as you can see, but there's no obvious thing for the city to do. A charity tried to set up a safe injection site nearby, but both the Trump administration and locals blocked it from being established. The city's homeless infrastructure isn't really equipped to handle the numbers of people here - and even if it had the money, most of the homeless are addicts and will refuse to live in homeless housing that requires sobriety. Kensington is going to remain a convenient place to buy drugs no matter what thanks to its great transit links. And the opioid epidemic will continue to produce new addicts that will be ensnared by places like Kensington\n\nSome articles:\n\nhttps://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/kensington-opioid-crisis-history-philly-heroin-20180123.html\n\nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/10/magazine/kensington-heroin-opioid-philadelphia.html\n\nhttps://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/citizen-of-the-week-charito-morales/",

I believe they are posted disingenuously in order to build animosity towards urban living and “liberal leadership”. Of course I hate that this reality exists, it’s just obvious when you jump into the comments that these videos are poverty porn.",

You're always going to have a criminal element in an area where a contraband item is sold and no one wants to live in a place with junkies wondering the street. \n\nThere's probably side-effects to this policy I'm proposing that I'm not foreseeing, but at least it would be different. What we have right now isn't working.",
"But the bigger issue is, people just don't care. I mean, sure, they say they care, but are they willing to make sacrifices to solve this problem? Probably not.",
"Ew, what the point of even having slaves if we're just going to give them everything they earned, right?",
"Ooo, ooo, see if they have bananas too. I love me some banana!",
"I see you are as well.\n\nExpensive apartments will decrease the price if enough densification occurs. I'm well into the 5%. There were no 'expensive apartments' for me, so I rented single family shitty homes, until I could buy one.\n\nIt's not like hard earners will stop coming if you don't build 'luxury apartments'. We are coming anyways, and we will buy 'cheap homes' and take that housing stock away from \"those that most need it\".\n\nThe vacancy rate is extremely low; it is rare for housing stock to sit empty (last I saw, in the single digits of housing stock available, at least in the Bay Area), and it would be even more rare if supply was skyrocketing."

"This clip made me want to smoke some weed and binge watch some Jerry Springer",
"Birds are dying",
"I know it’s been like… 25 years or so, but when I hear the word “emo” I still think of [this](https://www.90sfashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/am-i-emo.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp/ngcb8) first.",
"Yungblud feels like he wouldn't have been out of place on 00s Kerrang.",
"Ugh...Makes me remember my band days!!!!!! Firehouses and Church basements. \n\nDamn....it felt so \"emo\" at the time. Look back now and they were wonderful times. Great \"scene\", with a great and supportive culture. Kids being kids.\n\nWholesome at its core.",
"In the late 90's emo kids just went to shows wearing black frame glasses and cardigans. I liked them better.",
"On the plus side, they are all voters, in their 40s, and their kids are making their grandkids now.",
"Great time capsule. I like how they had to break things down early for viewers by letting them know if you're over 25 this is probably new to you and emo stands for \"emotional hardcore\".",
"Nothing will ever fully prepare you for [emo rap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV8N44HzfBQ).",
"Now it looks more hipster than anything",
"I hate that I know this reference",
"Peak emo was like 06-08, by then “scene kids” had really taken over.",
"Good times",
"We are living in Jerry Springer’s show now.",
"Bruh...that news segment has some serious bangers. Escape the Fate, Underoath, and MCR. \\m/",
"Late 90s emo was for sure the proto-hipster.\n\nBut also it’s kind of a sad cultural signifier that the general idea of a “hipster” hasn’t changed in like 20 years",
"I never wore girl pants or makeup and was more preppy skater kid but I was at every concert or local show throwing girls up to crowd surf and moshing. I’m 33 now and my wife and I would still fly to diff states to see our fav bands. I feel like the music was so much better then and everything today tries too hard to imitate it.",
"You now I never knew that Emo was short for anything until now.",
"You weren't Emo for the feel of it. You were emo for the girls.",
"Would it shock you to know that back then, people in their 30s felt that those bands were cheap imitations of the bands they grew up with too. It’s just a cycle",
"Why you gotta do me like that",
"That’s alt rock",
"you mean devolved",
"Lmaooo I’m sorry I just noticed this a lot growing up. Like even by the time I was 16 my friends were already like “the music on the radio these days is such trash it’s nothing like when I was growing up” I was like bro you’re still growing up, we’re only in high school lmao. It’s like everyone hits a certain age where nostalgia becomes set in stone and anything that comes after that period seems worse even though it isn’t worse, it’s just different",
"What was your band's name? Did you ever play First Unitarian in Philly?",
"Those dang emo kids and their discmans!!!",
"You know the person that did the sound was a total scene kid.",
"When I was a teenager, Emo didn't just mean \"emotional hardcore\" music, so I'm not sure why they just talk about that here. Dashboard Confessional, Reggie and the Full Effect, Hot Rod Circuit... all were 'emo'",
"I was expecting way more pearl clutching. \n\nThe writer seemed to actually respect the musical history and fans.",
"Dear Diary,\n\nMood: Apathetic",
"I don’t remember any conflicts between emo/goth/metalheads, I had friends in each category and never had issues other than, “Gross, put this CD in”. Was this conflict nation wide or very regional?",
"36, can confirm. I still listen to the same emo or HC music at the gym then wander back home to remote government account management job where I stuff down all those emotions and pretend to feel nothing when I go through my drawer of old band shirts when life was easier.",
"yeah its kind of funny going back to that scene. i have a lot of love for the emo movement. i still go back to Finch and Saosin quite a bit at the age of 34",
"Because somehow everyone forgot that emo and pop punk were not the same thing.",
"\"Oh you like emo? Tell me every song by Sunny Day Real Estate!\"",
"Time is a flat circle.",
"Ha! Ok. This got me. Have an upvote.",
"Not so much Philly but the levittown area. Sacred grounds for example. Some places in Jersey Mercer county area. 🙌",
"I mean, Paramore's sound is still giving hits to people like Olivia Rodrigo and Willow Smith so...",
"> I feel like the music was so much better then and everything today tries too hard to imitate it.\n\nsays every generation ever",
"Heck yeah, former NJ scene kid here! Philly shows were the best!",
"ZOMG",
"I never knew the difference.",
"I reckon maybe we’re about the same age? When I was a teen emo meant dashboard and reggie and juliana theory and all that, but really Sunny Day Real Estate and Blood Brothers and Cursive (I’m not really an expert) were kind of the genre pioneers? Can definitely hear the hardcore there.",
"The sun goes down, and so does she",
"I don't know why but when I think of emo kids, I think of Gaia Online",
"The only thing I hated about the emo/hardcore culture back in the day was hardcore dancing. \n\nWhen some kid throws a wild punch or kick that knocks your lights out at warped tour to the point that you're bleeding out of your mouth and you have to argue with the security guy for 20 minutes about how you're not starting fights, it's just the idiots in the pit flailing wildly, it kinda got shitty.\n\nAlso when some guy kicks your friend in the face and refuses to apologize to her because she shouldn't be standing next to the pit if she doesn't want to get hit, I kinda just hated that shit.",
"I MISS THESE DAYS",
"Now, if you’re over 25 you probably were one.",
"The early days of YouTube. Turned out though the birds are dying emo girl was just a character. Along with the Ohio emo guy. For those too young to remember, this was the stuff that would top YouTube “most viewed” charts",
"It helps that it’s from Fox 11 LA and the epicenter for this music was happening miles from their studios. \n\nThis video was my coming of age. I was at these shows. It was a time to be alive. Chain Reaction. Showcase. Glasshouse. Every other shitty venue that died.",
"Yes, nation wide conflict! Thousands died, hundred's of thousands more got butt hurt.",
"My mother could never remember the word emo and would always end up calling them ewoks.",
"Yeah i was actually looking forward to some out of touch insanity. This was just an informative summary of a music scene. \n\nDamn them and their passable journalism",
"I think that was/is called violet dancing and on the concerts i was in the last 12 years you tried that shit and got kicked in the butt especially when you actually hit someone. \nBut i was never on concerts that attracted the Emo or Hardcore guys/girls",
"Mind you this was 2006ish for me, all the kids were about this where I was at. And I even knew a guy who took karate lessons to kick and punch with proper form. But yeah I'm sure that's fully out of fashion by now.",
"Dafuck. \n\n\nIs still a thing for some people its not happening often on the concerts i go to (mostly Black, Trash and Death) but when it happens this person gets into problems fast.",
"Wow you can really see the blatant manipulation in Fox News is reporting even back then.",
"I'm getting old enough where I start putting all people who get righteously indignant about music genre distinctions into one big category.\n\nAnd yes... I did the same thing",
"That's why the alt-right kids all became angry incels. They never discovered that anyone can get laid if you go to the right (left) parties.",
"What is going on with those pick up lines. 0-60 real quick haha",
"Yoooo didn't know they had church basement shows in other areas! I used to go all the time to a church basement in a town near me, for punk rock shows! Awesome introduction to the music scene. We also used to go to metal shows that were at a church, they'd take out the pews but the band would play up on the stage which was pretty cool. That and a nearby civic center. I miss those days!",
"Link?",
"This is the news manipulating the masses to find reasons to hate each other. Divide and conquer is a real thing.",

"Haha I just had a huge flashback from reading this.",
"Oh, so were talk about what you want to talk about now? Ya sure, go on.",
"I feel like it's a regional thing. I'm in the mid Atlantic right now and I was watching some youtube footage about nightlife in the mountain west where I used to live and I saw all these bearded, beanie wearing plaid hipsters going to dive bars on fixie bikes, and it was really weird to me. It was definitely recent footage because there were people wearing face masks and stuff. There's almost zero hipsters in the place where I live now (DC) compared to where I used to live a few years ago (SLC UT)",
"Just take me back to those days. I still listen to underoath and Thursday",

"Emo = anything punk fans hated and deemed too close to their own subculture. It meant nothing. \n\nNu metal = anything metal fans hated and deemed too close to their own subculture. It meant nothing.",
"This…\n\nThis is worse than almost anything I could’ve imagined.",
"> this\n\nIt was odd in my high school. Emo and Punk kinda got along. It was even kinda accepted that Emo came from Hardcore the same way Goth came from Mettle. \n\nThough perhaps that was just New Jersey with Thursday and My Chemical Romance being local bands of that era.",
"Could get laid at either parties, one just had predominantly more land whale, std, boy looking girls.",

"i have a bad feeling the gameplay on these isn't going to hold up great.",
"The physics and mechanics will be modern.",
"Yeah but mission structure has evolved. It's been a while since I played those games specifically but games from that era have quite tedious fetch quests.",
"Are we buying this? I’m tempted… cause I love me some San Andreas, but maybe I can satisfy that by dusting off my PS2.",
"I feel like Rockstar and Bethesda have become experts at recycling",
"How about you buy it if you want to, and I'll buy it if I want to, and we don't base purchases we like on other people?",
"Woah, that's way too radical an idea for reddit.",
"Invest in risky new IP or dust off and repaint an old one for guaranteed nostalgia dollars? I once heard a line that sums it up: \"People don't like new. People like things they like already.\"\n\n\nSadly, we all seem to fall for it so why would they change.",
"If the original music isn't there, I am not buying this.",
"just looks like an enb preset.",
"No PC versions of Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories? Boooo!",
"Gameplay was wonky in these games even back in the day. Only back then the open world was so insanely cool that you didn’t care. Now the open world is not that cool anymore, so yeah this will be purely for nostalgia",
"I remember when I first got a PS2 and Vice City and seeing the opening scene and being disappointed that the characters still didn’t have proper hands! The fingers were glued together in this C-position. If this remake has a HD version of those cup hands, i’m out.",
"Only releasing on Rockstar's dogshit launcher. Boooo",
"Surprised I like the look. Feels like a stylized cartoon rather than just an upscale.",
"Just don't buy it unless it releases on steam. That's my plan.",
"fett dryg",
"So, did they get the original licensed music? That would make a big difference for Vice City.",
"> quite tedious fetch quests.\n\nBut those quests are saved by the fact you get to listen to awesome tunes. However idk what the music rights are gonna be like for these so if a lot of music get nixed it's gonna be a pass from me.",
"The \"original\" clips look darker than I remember. Some of those old-version shots of Vice City look downright strange given it was supposed to be a big and bright rendition of Miami. The \"new\" version looks more like what I recall.\n\nMan, this makes me want to reinstall and give my old copy a whirl.",
"That's a great point. If the radio stations are different, especially Vice City, that would be upsetting.",
"I wouldn't say anyone is falling for it. They are fans of a thing, and want to continue playing the thing on their current media systems. That's not so weird, it's not that different than buying your favorite movie in the latest format. Can't say I blame either company. People do like new things, but just as often they don't. But Bethesda and Rockstar *know* that millions of people (who are now older with more disposable income) love these games.\n\nHaving said that, I can still play all three easily with their legacy version. There's no good reason for me to get this.",
"Yeah, perhaps \"fall for it\" was rather uncharitable. I love playing old games as much as anyone, I'm not being duped. I just wish they *also* invest in some new IP.",
"Me, too. I would hope people would strongly consider whether they can just play the version they already have rather than the ~~new shiny thing~~ new version.",
"Ya, I could take or leave the stations from 3, I mostly listened to Risefm for rave music or Chatterbox. But Vice City and San Andreas the music was so good it was practically a selling about for me. One of the reasons I never stuck with IV or V was the lack of music I wanted to listen to in game.",
"Doesn't it still launch their launcher if you got it on steam?",
"yeah but you get to at least mostly hide it away, like Origin or the other terrible launchers. If they want to fight steam, fine. At least make your launcher not gawdy and annoying though",
"Only people better than them are Disney at living off old IP",
"Booooo!",
"Woah woah, can't let you guys have any fun unless we're making money!",
"thats all you could possibly justify paying money for at this point",
"Without the music it isn't GTA.",
"Doubt it.",
"I agree",
"Those tedious quests are Rockstar's bread and butter. GTA 5 was no exception.\n\n Haven't gotten around to RDR2 yet, but I suspect there's very little in terms of freedom of approach or emergent/dynamic gameplay.\n\n Rockstar seriously need to up their game in that regard. Probanly won't though, because they'll make a tonne of money regardless.",
"Josie's on a vacation far awayyyyyyy",
"Driving away after a bank robbery, firing an uzi out the window at the cops chasing me, in the rain, with A Flock of Seagulls \"I Ran\" blasting on the radio is one of my favorite memories growing up.",
"I don't get why there would be such an obstacle. Music copyright holders want to license their music out and make money on it. Pay them. And don't negotiate idiotic contracts that require you to remove music from games people already bought via automatic asshole updates.",
"The original music yeah\n\nI hope they didn't patch out stuff. They have more than enough money to secure rights\n\nI just need all the vice City soundtrack",
"Victims of success",
"I wouldn't buy it for the sole fact that they went after modders and threatening them with litigation for basically doing (for free) what Rockstar is now going to charge you money for: Updating old GTA games into a slightly less older game engine. \n\nReal scummy considering they were working on the project for years, probably way before the idea was even a twinkle in the eye of a greedy take-two exec."

"Aside from singing, what are the doing? At first I thought they were digging, but",
"I was going to ask the same thing. It looks like they're spreading something out over the road. Maybe spreading out fresh gravel to repair the road surface? Or redistributing the material that's already there, like some manual version of [a grader](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E94vwC6iIpc)?\n\nDirt roads need that done to them every now and then to fix potholes and ruts, maybe that's it.",

"Maybe it's just staged for the shot and they don't do much besides swinging shovels.",
"They're a lot better at singing than they are at digging",
"Looks very theatrical.",
"My impression was this is a recreation. The main point is presenting the songs. The tools and setting provides context. This is especially apparent in the last scene, where they throw stone picks into the grassy ground. And they do so in sync and alternating with the singing, so it's part of the rhythm and song, so an important part of it and presenting it.",
"Those are old school prison clothes and it looks like a prison work gang. Now a days it's that bright orange uniform.

Why on earth do I want to know this much intimate and personal information about this person?\n\nI realize I'm in the minority, but this is just how I feel. Why would you ever willingly divulge this much of your personal life? Go on Dr. Phil or something, lol. Sorry, I'm being an asshole. I'll leave now.",
"America.",
"Could be any number of reasons. A few things I can think of: catharsis, a cautionary tale, to share their genuine self. When someone experiences a life threatening situation, doesn't feel supported, and feels alone, it's not surprising for that person to put themselves out there. From one perspective it's compassion from strangers. From another it's assurance that humanity isn't quite as cold as their experience showed them. We all need love. No person is an island.",
"It wasn't Gus. She said \"number of years ago\". I can't imagine she still has that man in her life.",
"The timeline adds up for it to be him sadly... He posted on his Instagram back in 2018 a photo of her in the hospital and said that she had been having some tough medical issues. Also, she and Gus broke up about a month ago.",
">why would you ever willing divulge this much of your personal life? Go on Dr. Phil or something\n\nSo is it just posting it on the *internet* you have an issue with? Your criticism doesn’t make sense here. Why are you suggesting someone go *divulge their personal life* on a TV show after you’ve just moralized them about posting it on the internet? \n\nI think (and this is because you’re stupid) that you feel as if this video has in some way invaded your personal space or sanctuary. That this woman has personally walked up to you and dropped this video directly into your lap. That is the perspective this comment sounds like it was written from, along with the suggestion that she take her video to a place that you haven’t psychologically “laid claim” to. \n\nSmoothbrain.

"Does anyone wonder what the motive of this video is? I get the weird vibe that it’s some form of lowkey propaganda using a hired voice actor. \n\nIt’s very well put together and informative, but it doesn’t seem very objective. It seems like it has a point or ulterior motive that I don’t know enough about India to put my finger on, but I can feel it’s presence. \n\nIt’s also the channel’s only video. Why does this feel so weird?",
"umm.. nothing like that. Maybe it sounds so because it is the story of an incredibly passionate man mad enough to work without salary or benefits for 25 years?\n\nIt is the only video because this channel was started just now with this as the first video. Rest assured more are coming soon.\n\nThis is actually my second channel as I wanted to focus on videos relating to India. This is my first channel by the same name - [https://www.youtube.com/c/Humtog/](https://www.youtube.com/c/Humtog/)\n\nAnd yes, it is a hired voice actor just like all my videos... because my voice is not good..."

"TL:DW\n\n\"Apple puts apple products in Apple TV shows\"\n\n\"Apple does not give unlikeable characters apple products\"",
"just a FYI to anybody who clicked the comments before the video. They spoil the movie \"Knives out\" in this to explain how Apple lets others use their iPhones in films/TV.\n\n\nI also can't believe the comments I got from this. Y'all are a bunch of buffoons. In no way does the video notify you it will contain spoilers for the movie until less than 5 seconds beforehand. Just wanted to give a heads up for those who hadn't seen it yet.",
"Im not sure how effective that product placement is for Apple since you have to be deep into their eco-system to watch Ted Lasso and The Morning Show: You have to have an Apple TV / phone/ tablet /Mac *and* also subscribe to their streaming service",
"Does this guy do the voice overs for [Audit the Audit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEitSm1KsiA&ab_channel=AudittheAudit)? They sounds exactly the same, wonder if they do youtube voice over full time?",

"I would argue that it's more about keeping their existing customers with Apple, given the trend of releasing a new phone every year and other products every 2+ years, especially if there is a new feature showcased of the newest version of a device.",
"I was thinking this, Ted lasso might be the most realistic show on tv right now because it shows how much time people mess around on their phones and how they use them",
"You're a dick for absolutely no reason",

"I think so, too!",
"I agree, they are so over exposed I don't even think about it anymore.",
"I definitely noticed it in Ted Lasso because I can’t imagine him having the latest and greatest iPhone model. He would be the type still rocking an iPhone 6.",
"I think a video like this is Apple's wet dream. They would like nothing more than for you to actually notice their products when you're watching their shows.",
"lool that knives out spoiler was so out of left field. fucking assholes lmao",
"Who said I hadn't seen it?",
"Even so. The notion that you should watch, or even just be aware of every movie that you could possibly enjoy in the few months of their release is just laughable.",
"Yeah the last time this was posted it was specifically related to that movie, too",
"You don't need a single apple device to subscribe to their streaming service. I get it through my parents, and not a single person in my immediate family owns an apple product.",
"It was ridiculously distracting seeing the gratuitous iPhone shots in Ted Lasso. They'd go so far as to work in random scenes that had nothing to do with the show so they could showcase it - 'Hang on Ted, I just have to check a text a received from a friend on my IPHONE'... \n\n\\*\\*Ding! - Oh it's a text from my friend asking what kind of pie I want ON MY IPHONE - LOOK AT IT'",
"_ominous detective music intensifies_\n\nOh, and then they go ahead and tell me who the bad guy is in Knives Out, which I had been meaning to watch...",

"Joshua Joyce in Transformers makes \"the pill\" (Beats speaker) with transformium - the stuff made from dead Transformers.\n\nIt's not about whether they're \"likeable\". It's whether they're **professional**/successful.",

"I just wanted to say \"subliminal advertising\".",
"Weren’t they just giving a subjective opinion? You can assume they meant “in their opinion”",
"It sucked. Stupid boring garbage. How popular it is is not my concern. Who the hell vomits when they lie? It's so freaking dumb. Supposed murder mystery, which tells you who did it half way through!

"They weren’t though",
"It's an Apple backed show on their own service though, they're not going to show *any* competing products in it, or any of for that matter. I've only watched Ted Lasso, but everyone uses iPhones/Macs in it.",
"Daniel Craig's character reminded me of a similar TV Detective from the 70s.",
"It feels a lot different when Apple puts product placement in their own shows than when a company like Sony does it. I see iPhones & iPads all over the place anyway. But when you're watching a movie and every character has a Sony Vaio laptop, it feels really weird, forced, and unnatural.",
"Also universal acclaim from critics doesn’t mean it’s an objectively good movie; just look at last Jedi.",
"Do people actually notice this shit in movies? I've never noticed nor even cared what type of device someone is using in a movie.",
"[Wayne’s World did it best](https://youtu.be/8lgLYGBbDNs)",
"Yeah but that’s still no excuse to spoil a movie without warning like that.\n\nI sometimes watch movies that are 5-10 years old, and I don’t like feeling rushed to watch something just in case someone will spoil the whole movie for me just because.",
"I Don't subscribe to apple TV.",
"Soon we'll just have 30 minute long commercials that have plots.",
"Well, someone fucked up. The money in the diagram at 0:35 is going the wrong way.\n\nI mean, don't get me wrong, I would love for Apple to pay me to buy movies.",
"Ted Lasso is not likable. Mission failed",
"I guess some do, but I certainly don't.",
"That's fine. But you also can't expect the rest of humanity to comply by those rules.",
"Also needlessly spoiling major plot point of Knives Out 🤷♂️",
"Thanks for ruining Knives Out for people you dickhead video maker.",
"This isn't even a: \"Let's discuss Knives Out video specifically!\" - this was about Apple products and placement in TV shows and then spoils the entire surprise of the movie.\n\nGee its not like you could have gone: \"and some bad guys in some movies don't use iPhones such as Knives out\" instead of: \"the main villain in Knives Out with their name and photo on screen\". or \"spoilers for Knives Out\" or \"in several high rated films - see description for more details\"\n\nIf you were watching Squid Game and were in a convo and had a friend just join in and go: \"Oh hey I haven't watched it yet\" do you go: \"Well FUCK YOU here is everyone who died!\" - either talk about something else or talk about it later. Not pretend they don't exist and blab on. \n\nIn this instance it really wasn't that hard to be courteous. There were a lot of ways to talk about the movie and product placement and this one was by far pretty blatant and callous.\n\nIf we were talking about a Knives Out analysis video that's a clearly different matter.",
"You absolutely can. Giving spoiler warnings is the easiest fucking thing in the world. It's either laziness or disregard for other people's feelings to suddenly spoil things like that.",
"I've watched hundreds of hours of Audit the Audit. It's not him.",
"Why though. \n\nI don't use a case but as far as I know I haven't been up to any dodgy shit. Even though I say so myself.",
"Advocating spoilers and proudly proclaiming they have an iphone. How much douchier can you get?",
"In the second Kingsman movie both Julianne Moore's antagonist and Bruce Greenwood's questionable president use Macbooks, and this came just after I'd told who I was watching it: \"bAd GuYs CaN't UsE aPpLe PrOdUcTs\"",

"Bit of different anecdotal perspective… \n \nI’ve worked on a few shows (not fictional shows, FWIW) that have Apple sponsorship and they are one of the easiest brands going around. We get no direction, they basically say “we’ll give everyone iPads, if they use them on screen that’s great, if not that’s fine”. It’s like they just back in their gear as being easy enough to use that it will just get on screen organically. I think they also want to avoid forcing boomers to use something they’re not comfortable with, as that’s never a good look.",

It's a fun movie, but it's no Agatha Christie mystery.",

In fact, there's an enormous and rapidly growing library of film that's getting harder and harder to find and watch, specifically **because** of the convenience you're talking about. A concerningly small number of private gate-keepers more or less arbitrarily decide which films are available to see, and they're increasingly sunsetting older films, in huge numbers. If it keeps going like this, it won't be long before anything that wasn't an Oscar winner (or at least a contender) will be something you can read about, but have a great deal of trouble actually seeing, if you can at all.",

"Thanks for the laugh. Needed that.",
"Yup, just ruined it for me. Now I have to try to forget it the best I can.",
"That is not a legal power that Apple has. The language you're quoting is only **literally** true for those productions that Apple has some say over, and otherwise is pop-journo shorthand for \"Apple gets a big sadsies if other people don't do what they want.\" In practice, it means that Apple won't **pay** for the placement, and if they get miffed enough at the usage, they'll threaten not to be friends with that same director / producer / company / whatever in the future.\n\nIn theory, Apple could try suing if they wanted to try to claim that some given placement actually hurt them somehow. But it would almost certainly get laughed out of court. \"You hurt our feelings\" is an extremely weak tort.\n\nAs a counter example of how actually grown-up companies handle this, the fancy shit that James Bond villains have is free advertising for those companies, and they love it. No one is going to **not** buy a Jaguar C-X75 because they saw Mr. Hinx drive one in *Spectre*.\n\nIn a way, Apple brought this on themselves. Decades of infantilising, image-based marketing has turned a huge proportion of their current and potential customers into socially hyper-sensitive pudding-heads who really think that anyone else gives a shit what phone they have. People like that really might worry about being associated with some movie villain, because that's the sort of thing that awkward, pre-pubescent dorks worry about.",
"lol \n\nCause on r/Subnautica, you have to post whether or not your post *contains* spoilers. I was looking for help and my request did not contain spoilers. \n\nFYI- they post rules for each sub, if you read them you won't embarrass yourself. ;)",
"I think it’s a bit different for video games because those are often huge time and skill commitments to see the full story. Knives out is a 2 hour movie. If you haven’t sat down one night to watch it after 2 years then it’s obviously not very important to you to see it.",

"Despite its major flaws it definitely was still light years better than Rise of Skywalker",
"Never seen it but I thought Looper was alright. Perhaps Lucasfilm did him dirty with TLJ, I certainly don’t blame him as much as I did when it came at but man I have never loathed a movie anywhere near as close. Didn’t even see the last one though from what I have seen read heard it seems like they somehow made it even worse. Perhaps I’m too hard on Johnson, looking at what’s going on outside the films it might be a much larger problem with Lucasfilm itself. I worry about the Obi Wan show, I have zero faith in the franchise at this point.",

"Man, I really should have finished Die Hard. That's quite the twist.",
"Agreed. I strongly disliked the second one, and the third one more so.",

"Come on knives out was released 2 years ago. At what point can we stop worrying about spoilers for a movie or show thats more than 2 years old. If you haven’t watched it by now you probably don’t care enough to hear spoilers to begin with.",
"Is that something from season 2? I watched all of season 1 without noticing anything g like this, and I usually notice product placement",

"I agree by who he is before moving to England, but I could also see his high-profile job providing him with a modern phone.",
"Same with See!!!",
"Might have to give Brick a view sometime, if it’s on a streaming service",
"It’s unwatchable when you realise it\n\n\nCurb your enthusiasm also is an Apple ad sometimes",
"I don't mind product placement if it is unobtrusive and makes sense. \n\nThe most annoying ones are when you are watching a cop procedural, and the one detective has to use their off-duty car because their car is in the shop. It happens to be a minivan, and the one detective is telling the other that his car's navigation system is nice... oh watch this, I can use blue tooth while driving! Time to visit the crime scene.\n\nThe most egregious of these, was an A&E TV show, _The Glades_. Not only was the above example there, but there were several scenes where a car's logo in the background was brought into full focus, while it was in the background with everything around it properly out of focus.",

"“Just Bing it!”",
"And we think you’re gonna love it.",
"Is that the Audit The Audit guy narrating?",
"Yeah. In this video they mention that an Apple product is shown 34 times. I think that is extremely normal. People are constantly on their phones/computers, and are constantly listening to music. I think showing that people are constantly using their devices is very normal. I think other shows are weird for showing that people live in a world where people aren't constantly using their phones.\n\nThe thing that stands out about Apple TV shows is that it is always Apple products, and no other products. (and also how they don't put their phones in cases)",
"Fuck apple",
"Cheeky bastards",
"For transparency on any product placement show, in the end credits it should be shown which products were placed and how much money was transferred. And faulure to do so should come with a fine.",
"I feel like somebody.....IS TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING!",
"Not all products that show up in films and tv shows are there because of product placement. Like JC Penny in Stranger Things and the wall of detergents in Kramer vs. Kramer, many are there for realism and authenticity. Secondly, placing someone's cellphone (while in use) in or near the center of the shot while the character is using it or staring at it is critical in medium to closeup shots to communicate what the character is doing and to draw focus to the character's face. Given that iPhones from the back look essentially identical to other phones and that the audience is more invested in the character's face, that would be both useless as product placement and a silly thing to feel the need to \"demand.\" Which brings us to all of those Ted Lasso shots of apple products in various scenes. Again, to be useful, product placement needs to be both highly recognizable and prominent in the shot. The audience will not pick up on the fact that your character is eating a Snickers bar if all that is visible is the wrapping on a table while all of the attention is focused elsewhere. The same goes for a sleek, silver laptop that may or may not have a smallish, plain white logo visible on the back of the clamshell design off on one side of the shot while all of the action is on the other side fo the screen. Whether it's demanded by Apple in the contract or not, that's not effective product placement because the audience won't even notice it. You might as well be saying all the furniture is Ikea. No one is paying attention to it and if the audience starts paying attention to those kinds of details instead of the action and dialogue, [that show is in trouble](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMm0DLg8CE&t=55s). Lastly, \"facetime\" as a generic noun/verb for video calling is like saying \"google something\" as a generic web search. It's not product placement anymore. It's just how people talk.",
"This video might as well have been sponsored by said company",
"I didn’t start breaking bad until it was streaming and managed to avoid any spoilers from any plot elements. The secret was never telling anyone and literally walking away from any conversation that started mentioning it. \n\nThis would have frustrated me I think.",
"I have problems with that schematic, it shows money flowing from Apple to the consumer. What?",
"To be fair, if you’re paying any attention at all while watching the movie, you’ll know who the villain is in literally the first scene he’s in. Doesn’t take away from enjoying the rest of the movie, though, so knowing that fact shouldn’t ruin the overall experience.",
"Lol",
"People over-emphasize \"proven\" concepts and take them far beyond their effective scope. Corporations tend to be especially vulnerable to this because bureaucracy hates fuzzy discretion, and would rather have nice clean flow charts of what to do in every situation. If something was successful, then ramping it up will always be approved. \n\nI fully agree. Sometimes corporations can become so influential that their algorithmic view of reality infects society. For example, decades of strict policy of coddling asshole customers in the service industry has produced a bunch of entitled people who cause far more damage than the revenue they bring. If the behavior wasn't trained, they wouldn't be so shocked and confused when some independent store tells them to fuck off and never come back. Corporate marketing campaigns hammered \"you are important to us\" so hard for so long, that consumers started believing *they* actually were as people, not just their wallet.",
"Giving a spoiler warning continues to be the easiest fucking thing in the world.",
"Lol great",
"our lives are becoming one big advertisement. hooray dystopia",
"So I can tell who is the killer in a mystery by whether they used an iphone?",
"Totally inscrutable control gestures and no buttons or labels? This checks out.",
"Yeah, there's so many films to watch nowadays that 2 years is hardly a fair cut-off, plus it's so unbelievably easy to just give a spoiler warning.",
"No sry I didn’t have time to read them I needed to get back to watching every movie and tv show I’m remotely interested in. No time for breaks.",
">Well when does it stop? \n\nWhen you learn to give a warning because you aren't a cunt.",
"More of a comment on the fact he said television and not movies.",
"Fwiw, that doesn't really ruin the movie. You know he's a dick from his first scene and he isn't really the 'ultimate bad guy', just one of five in a shitty family.",
"Have you seen it? Dude isn't really the bad guy, the whole family is, he's just the most obvious dickhead among them.",
"Hardly spoiled. That movie is great and knowing one character is a dickhead does nothing. It's almost a lie to call him the main bad guy.",
"lol nice knives out spoiler. fucking asshole lmao.",
"Clarissa from Clarissa Explains it All gets the treasured trophy vault and the dude that played her neighbor Fergie started a band called MSI that all the incels love.",
"Yes but so is pretty much every star wars movie\n\nEven Attack of the Clones, previously my worst ranked Star Wars, is better than Rise of Skywalker.\n\nbtw official rankings 5 > 4 >> 6 = 7 > 1 > 3 = 8 >> 2 > 9",
"I thought it actually weakened his point because plenty of unlikeable characters in that movie have Iphones (which he even shows in the video), they just aren't the main villain.",
"Kevin spacey is the bad guy",
"Unlikeable =/= antagonist",
"So how would an unlikable character using an apple product be positive when the claim is that an antagonist wouldn't (in Apples opinion)?",
"I don't work for Apple how would I know? I'm just giving you the facts about what an unlikeable person is versus an antagonist.",
"Wow, this will ruin any mystery where the one character doesn't use an iPhone, but all other characters do.",
"*\"You wanna buy some DeAtH sTiCkS?\"*",
"I hope Apple is taking notes.",
"Do actors even care when the script says “I’m gonna FaceTime him”? Is it all just a cash grab? Everything? Always?",
"You know how Jesus Christ got crucified and died Friday? Yeah, that dude ain't dead."

"Brilliant. Thank you for posting.",
"This is the kind of broadcasting I would watch. Unscripted, brutally honest and self aware.\n\nSure it doesn't go as planned, but that's still good.",
"Just in case it isn't clear they're both in on the joke here.",
"If you go to Other Discussions it seems no one gets this but /r/BritishTV. It's not even that subtle or dry.",
"To be fair this part of Ayoade's brand of humor is really hard to \"get\" if you aren't used to it.\n\nHe blurs the line between sincerity and irony more than any other comedian I know of. \nTo top it all off, his punchlines/reliefs here are quite subtle, and you have to pay attention to catch it.\n\nYou and I are used to it, we know he's got his own style of taking the piss. He's like... hyper-british.",
"I think it's more that people seem to think he is 'calling out' Guru-Murthy when he is just having fun with the format and Guru-Murthy is playing along. There is a self-awareness of the absurdity of the whole thing between them and they're playing with it.",
"Everyone in this video is having a good time. I feel that you cannot invite Richard Ayoade into a free-form televised discussion without expecting that somewhere it is going to go off the rails. You may sit down with the best of intentions, but ultimately it is going someplace unconventional and entertaining. \n\nWhich is part of the reason why people quite like Richard Ayoade.",
"Yeah, I hate when I see this has been reposted here and people don't get that Krishnan is in on and helps enable the joke.",
"Richard is so fucking quick but Krishnan picks up everything he lays down. Great performance from both parties. \n\nI called this 'Snatching the Wheel' when I was working in TV news—when the interviewee won't let you steer the conversation. Anyone else and this would've been embarrassing, but Krishnan is a fucking ninja. Just leans right into it.",
"\"Don't thank me. I've done nothing for you.\" \n\nHow I'll end all of my interactions from now on.",
"It's a bit disingenuous to say he was \"called out\" for his \"dishonest interview\". They both just acknowledge that British broadcasting laws dont allow him to explicitly endorse a piece of media",
"Op I really feel like your title shows that you've missed the point of what Krishnan and Richard are talking about. \n\nAs Krishnan say early on in that clip, because of British broadcasting rules they cant just have a piece promoting a book, film, album or whatever. By broadcasting law (by Ofcom regs) there has to be a conversation about an aspect of the film, book, album or whatever thats related to society in some aspect to avoid just promoting a piece of media. \n\nWhat Richard is calling out is that its all a bit of a charade and hes making a joke about how offended Tarrantino got at having to play the charade when interviewing for British news. There was nothing dishonest about the Tarantino interview and anyone who think there was clearly doesnt understand broadcasting laws in this country.",
"Classic Ayoade.",
"You don't see it often because there aren't many journalists as sharp as Krishnan. Even less with the humility to let someone subvert the seriousness of their show and and join them in the process.",
"Was the mentioning that he's half Nigerian and half Norwegian then following it up with \"Do you feel a strong sense of being a role model for...British *Norwegians*?\" not a dead give away?",
"Whoosh",
"What's weird is that OP seems to be from the UK as well, so it's genuinely odd that basic British ribbing appears to have \"whooshed\" over them.\n\nBut, yes, posts like these are just as annoying as people watching old *Buzzcocks* episodes thinking that their favorite celebrities are *actually* being disrespected as opposed to it just being... well, banter?",
"And in your situation it will still be true!",
"I love that in one stream of thought Richard went from being pro Norwegian immigration to thinking it needs to be stopped. And the bit about them looking to him for policy decision was also pretty funny to come up with on the fly and so smoothly. Props to Krishnan for playing a good straight man here.",
"Although I doubt Preston was in on it",
"I feel a bit silly. I’ve seen the interview with Tarantino. I (like the OP seems to) got the impression that Murthy wasn’t in on this joke. Could you maybe explain a bit what I’m missing?",
"He’s still out there, walking away into infinity.",
"That and a lot of people who come on the show to promote something will just give a generic, uncontroversial answer to whatever random serious question they might be asked.",
"Ayoade doesn’t call out Krishnan Guru-Murthy in any manner whatsoever. \n\nInstead Ayoade is just making an interesting commentary on the general facade of movie interviews. Which is that they’re a promotion campaign for those involved in creating the film. Guru-Murthy agrees. The end. \n\nOP obviously upset by the original interview between Guru-Murthy and Tarantino and watched this trying to warp it into their own narrative. Probably because they’re not a particularly clever individual capable of understanding wider conversations surrounding topics. \n\nAlso, nothing about Guru-Murthy’s original interview with Tarantino was ‘dishonest’. He asked straightforward, probing questions that Tarantino didn’t wish to answer, because he was there to promote his movie, not talk about concepts such as recurring violence in his art. \n\nOP. Grow a brain.",
"That quote is going on my tombstone.",
"I can only guess his rationale was that Nigerian heritage (British Nigerians) are quite common.\n\nNorwegian heritage (British Norwegians) are less common.\n\n*Edit*\n\nI'm like... Double whooshed",
"I enjoy Tarantino movies well enough but he really is a boor, he's way up his own ass about the quality of his films.\n\nHe's talented, but not *that* talented and it rubs me the wrong way.",
"> being disrespected as opposed to it just being... well, banter?\n\nPhill Jupitus, who has been a team captain on the show since its inception in 1996, revealed in his book published this summer that he almost quit the show in 2008 due to Amstell's verbal attacks on guests. He said: \"It struck me with Simon that people were being booked especially to have the piss taken out of them in a very overt fashion. Mark Lamarr didn't book people to rag on them, it was just in the flow of the show that people suddenly went a bit weird and Mark could turn on them. It became something else with Simon and started to get a bit wearing.\"\n\nhttps://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/news/394/noel_fielding_simon_amstell_ruined_buzccocks/\n\n\nI'm sure most of it was banter but some of it went above that.",
"I SHOULD HAVE CLING FILMED THEM!",
"were there people who thought Krishnan was at fault for the Tarentino interview getting so tense? I thought it Tarentino was clearly the jerk.",
"I'm an American, so maybe I don't have the full picture, but it seems to me that at least maybe in terms of celebrities, or potential role models like him, there's many more white guys that are or may as well be part Norwegian. Again, this is as an American, but I expect Nigerians to be a much more marginalized group than Norwegians.\n\nI expected him to say British Nigerians, but he subverted that by instead saying British Norwegians. Hence the joke.",
"> is in on and helps enable the joke.\n\nI am finding this a common problem with a lot of people on reddit the last few years. Not just this video, but this conversation technique seems to be lost on people anymore. \n\nThere is a mindset of \"I set them up and you knock them out of the park\" that seems to be dead or dying in younger audiences. They assume the joke maker is the only person who gets it and the other person is getting insulted, when it fact they enabled the scenario on purpose.\n\nIt requires possessing a certain charity in conversational skills that allows you to be comfortable with not being the primary center of attention and taking all the jokes for yourself. Doing this makes other people feel good about themselves and allows them to be the spotlight. It is a common technique of interviewers to do these sort of things to make their guest the highlight of attention.\n\nI suppose when people are not belly laughing the entire time, it comes across as too subtle for people to read between the lines and people assume the other person is not doing it on purpose? Whatever the case may be this manner of dialogue seems to be a fading artform since people are less charitable conversationally and don't understand the nuances of why you would even do that.",
"I am particularly curious about Tarantino framing himself as THE reason slavery is discussed. \n\nAnd then talks about \"I am here to sell my movie\"\n\nhttps://youtu.be/GrsJDy8VjZk",
"That depends... can we count the Danelaw and a few centuries of Viking harassment and settlement? Or does \"Norwegian\" only count if it's after 1905? \n\nThe US has \"Italian-Americans\" who haven't had an ancestor actually from Italy for over a century. But that feels like it's cheating.",
"Agreed",
"I thought it was quite funny from both of them. There’s no malice there, just some awkwardness that Ayoade is just, him.",
"Fact is you can't just go on UK news even outside of the BBC and just do a promotion.\n\nNews in the UK is obliged to inform and educate.\n\nYes they get people In who are promoting their stuff, and that is always obvious but there has to be a Conversation around that.\n\nIf Tarantino didn't want to do that and didn't want to face what we're really softball devil advocate questions anyway then she shouldn't have signed up to it.\n\nIMO he just left looking like a childish dick. It could have been completely unapologetic for the violence in his flims and that would have been fine, expected even.\n\nInstead he threw he toys out the pram because the actual journalist didn't suck the millionaires cock like some entertainment 'jornalist' whose access requires having people like Tarantino liking him.\n\nStill like his movies, even with the weird foot stuff.\n\n\nContext for people who haven't seen it below.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/GrsJDy8VjZk",
"Yea, it seems it is a dig at Tarantino at worst. Perhaps a dig at the whole system in general. But someone comes on, wanting an advert for their work, knows they can't, then gets mad when it's not overtly an advert. \n \nPerhaps the dig in general is - regulations against adverts make sense, else we sell out to the highest bidder yet again. Yet we try to skirt the rules as best possible, and end up with a thinly veiled advert. \n \nPerhaps the answer is Tarantino, Ayoade get no advert time?",
"If you want to dance with Richard Ayoade you had better be quick on your feet... I would not want to be doing that interview! At least not without some coffee first.\n\nEdit: apparently a lot of coffee-haters here, I guess it makes sense, most people who watch The Beeb presumably favor tea.",
"Tarantino wasn't in on the joke. That was an interview gone wrong due to the clash of styles of a British News Program and the light entertainment movie interview.\n\nBoth of them are in on this joke because both of them are clearly embracing the oddity of the format. Guru-Murthy is laughing, lying up questions whilst Ayoade is also making it intentionally awkward.",
"oh my god, maybe he's not even Irish",
"Yeah sorry I know the Tarantino interview wasn’t a joke. I just got the impression that Ayoade was making fun of how badly Murthy handled the Tarantino interview rather than them both making fun of the interview process. But I guess I misread their chemistry.",
"I guess there’s a lot of context that I’m not understanding",
"I don't recall thanking you.",
"Ah ok.\n\nWell, there are a number of giveaways. The most obvious is that it's too awkward. They're both making it far drier than it needs to be which suggests it's intentional, Ayoade would not be this much of a dick and Guru-Murthy would adapt his questioning to get it back on track. \n\nAlso, there is the thing where you says are you a role model for British Norwegians which is clearly a joke.",
"RDJ's interview was a mess too. Whoever is in charge of prepping these people really suck at their jobs. RDJ was visibly upset and even walked out because he didn't know he would be asked about his history.",
"Isn't this Krishan guy the same dude who pissed off RDJ in an interview by drudging up shitty parts of his past?",
"\"Any publicity is good publicity.\"\n\nI'm not familiar with the laws, but it seems like they can't do the bit you see on Late Shows at the end where they hold up the book and say \"it's on store shelves now go buy it\".\n\nThat doesn't mean they can't say \"hey <author>, you recently wrote a book about a hitman, how do you as the author feel about gun violence or gun reform or recent gun related events?\"",
"What a self-important child.",
"tbh I don't understand why their publicists book 'proper' British news programmes for interviews, they're going to be asked more serious things. I don't think C4 were right in asking him about his history though. \n\nI do think they were right to ask Tarantino about violence though as it was a topic in the British media at the time and a news show had an interview with someone whose films embrace a stylistic form of violence. It's too obvious a thing to ask.",
"I think it's more amusement at how it blew up rather than a dig at Tarantino. They clearly understand why he was upset but also why the situation happened.",
"True. Probably because I’ve done nothing for you.",
"I recognize this dude as the guy that bombed the Robert Downey Jr interview",
"Yeah, there's definitely wayyyyy more Nigerian descended people in the UK than Norwegians, but yeah that was probably the joke.",
"Love how Ayoade is doing the opposite of \"Yes, and\"..\"No, but\"",
"Such a smart ass, I love him",
"Well if you know him then you know what kind of interview you're in for, he's hilarious and very dead pan",
"Fuckin' hell. I think you might benefit from reevaluating what you want from life.",
">They assume the joke maker is the only person who gets it and the other person is getting insulted\n\nYou're talking about the generation that catapulted Logan Paul to superstardom. Are you *really* surprised that anything beyond super basic, crass humor goes right over their heads?",
"wtf is the tone of this interview? is that guy a professional interviewer? \n\nthat was so very odd.",
"Damn you really pulled the \"social experiment\" line.",
"Looks like he's done well for himself now that Won Ton isn't on his ass all the time.",
"Yes but in fairness RDJ comes over as a cool fun guy, it could be forgiven to assume he would handle it with charm like anything else. Krishnan forgot he was a human being with a difficult history who was probably tired of being interviewed and travelling. \n\nHe was in the wrong but I understand if he didn’t do it on purpose and was just used to being a journalist news wanker.",
">Richard Ayoade\n\nHe is so quick and so funny. I loved him confusing the hell out of Mel B (scary spice) on \"Big Fat Quiz\"\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ITWKtTYlEI&t=68s",
"I don't know much about him but of what I have seen, he doesn't seem particularly popular with any celebrity when doing interviews. Kinda odd when they are just talking movies to cause such a big stirr.",
"> There is a mindset of \"I set them up and you knock them out of the park\" that seems to be dead or dying in younger audiences.\n\nMan, my best friend and I do this for each other all the time. Specifically say or ask something knowing the other one can find the perfect, pithy retort that'll have us both laughing hysterically.",
"\nYou can see this in so many comment threads on Reddit. \n\nSomeone will say something really clever, with an implied punchline, without actually saying it because it would be too “on the nose”\n\nThen the next commenter will just comment the obviously implied punchline, and that comment will be upvoted and awarded to the moon. \n\nI see this so much on Reddit and I’m always like “the other commenter did all the legwork of this joke you theif!”",
"How do you know the interviewer was in on the joke?",
"i mean, couldn't the interviewer just ask some softball questions about his motivations for writing the book etc.?",
"No. Not really. Also Ayoade wouldnt answer such mundane questions.",
"Why couldn't he? It's not like the interview HAS to center around his politics or his ethnicity.",
"Bazinga.",
"It's like watching the Green Room with Paul Provenza, when you have a bunch of comedians in a room they work together to make bits even better... \n\nOr watching any of the British panel shows, or 8 out of 10 cats, etc. \n\nThose are still very popular, but not with a certain type of crowd.",
"When you are trying to promote a book but can't actually promote it because of BBC rules.",
"But it has to be a subject that is newsworthy, also Channel 4 News is public owned and has a remit that is has to be 'to be a disruptive, innovative force in UK broadcasting.'",
"Why isn't it newsworthy that a famous actor wrote a book?",
"A massive repost... but its soooo good!",
"I don't really like giving money to anyone that doesn't take a large amount of pride in their own work. Certainly doesn't mean that pride has to be justified though. I think what is remarkable about Tarantino is how consistent he has been with the quality of his output. He doesn't make the absolute best movies but they're all at least good. In that context, when you put him up next to Robert Zemeckis Tarantino seems like a saint. \n\nI also think Tarantino has some kind of diagnosed personality disorder that exacerbates his abrasive personality.",
"Yay, a couple of old boys verbally sparring on national TV for their own amusement. How jolly. I'm glad Richard seems as bored of it as we all are but you STILL CASHED THE CHEQUE RICHARD. Urgh.",
"Because its not in the public interest. Celebrities aren't newsworthy. \n\n I think you're just going to have to accept that in the UK there is a governing body called Ofcom who have lots of power but actually use it really well. TV news cant be politically biased, news has to be in the in the public interest (celebrities arent in the public interest), you cant slide in advertisements, but you can mention your book or film or whatever in the context of a larger issue.",
"I usually reply with \"thatsthejoke.jpg\". I think most people get it after that.",
"Because the UpVote isn't a reward, it's a way for the reader to feel included.",
"https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-48784837\n\nHow do you explain articles like this then? Or do written articles not adhere to the same standards?",
"That's because it doesn't really translate well into text.",
"Yeah Ofcom is tv news only, i thought I made that clear? I said 'TV news' multiple times........Our press is notoriously biased, we have very right wing and vert left wind newspapers. Internet news isnt really subject to any rules accept for just trying to be truthful and that. None of them come under the rules for tv news. \n\nRather than trying to prove me wrong or whatever why dont you just look into Ofcom? \n\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofcom\n\nhttps://www.ofcom.org.uk/",
">There is a mindset of \"I set them up and you knock them out of the park\" that seems to be dead or dying in younger audiences. They assume the joke maker is the only person who gets it and the other person is getting insulted, when it fact they enabled the scenario on purpose.\n\nI cannot possibly claim to be a part of the \"younger audience\" and, to me, no part of Guru-Murthy's behaviour at any point in this interview strikes me as him being intentionally complicit in any part of the funnies.\n\nTo me Guru-Murthy pretty clearly was hoping to break down Ayoade's barrier of chaos and humour in order to get *some* serious answers.\n\nGuru-Murthy was taken for a wild, wild ride. One he was not prepared nor hoping for, but still probably enjoyed to a large extent. That's how this looks to me, at least.",

"I think you're missing a large part of the context surrounding those rules\n\n* You can promote your book or film on a talk show, or the radio, or in a newspaper. This clip is specially from a NEWS show on TV. Our TV news is required to be more circumspect in what, and how, they broadcast. This is because the news carries weight and there's a big difference between talk show host plugging a product and trusted news reader. \n\n* Again, they can express political views and mock politicians and higher classes on any other media product. The only real restriction is for broadcast news. For the reasons above\n\n* The BBC is slightly different because they are paid for by the public, not advertisers. Therefore they can't endorse a product as they should not be getting paid by private companies. They are a not for profit public service held to a higher standard. The same way you wouldn't expect a police officer or doctor to be advertising a product. They are in a position of trust and this comes with responsibilities and limitations. \n\n* Also being a Lord is a title, like Judge, Prime Minister, or Colonel. A Lord is a sitting politician in our system of government and so comes with a certain respect. The same as we'd treat someone with the title of \"President\" with respect. \n\n* You can obviously discuss pending trials and ongoing investigations, what do you think our newspapers spend so much time reporting on otherwise? The things you can't do are you can't go claiming someone is absolutely guilty or innocent, you can't identify children or vulnerable people involved, and other similar facts. One reason is to prevent prejudicing the jury. How can someone have a fair trial if the jury all read they're guilty on the front page of the newspaper on their way in?! The other reason is self explanatory. \n\n* I'm not going to quibbel the libel laws as they are a bit of a mess\n\nWe have a huge issue with governmental overreach in some areas, but I do not see the issue with what you've outlined above",
"I like to see that and usually give the benefit of the doubt to whoever set it up or the architect of the joke if you will because they have forseen the nature of the conversation and graciously given the gift of being the funny one to the next person which is difficult to do in a dopamine driven world.\n\nIt also allows someone else to not only say the “correct punchline” because we all recognize it when we see it but sometimes, sometimes there’s the 1% that can make it REALLY funny and that spawns comedy.",

"> they can't promote his book, can't promote a movie, if they mention a product or brand they need a disclaimer and to mention alternate products.\n\nYea on the BBC, because it's state funded. It's literally called the British Broadcast Corporation and it's funded through the tv license.\n\n> They can't express certain political opinions, not even wild ones, just fairly mainstream ones.\n\nThey can and do express a lot of them. They regularly had the BNP on, which is about as right wing as British politics has gone in the past 50 years. But they can't be seen to be promoting one side or favouring one side, because as state funded broadcasters, their job isn't to try to convince the public, it's to provide fair and neutral coverage for the people to decide for themselves - even if they do it horribly sometimes. The BBC aren't funded to go on tv and try and flog watchers with books or political beliefs.\n\nThe BBC is considered one of the staples of quality news around the world for this very reason, where as you have things like CNN, Fox News, Al Jazeera, RT constantly being caught in controversy because they often have very clear and obvious biases.\n\n> When they refer to a story on crime, they literally cannot discuss anything where there's a pending trial or ongoing investigation or case, meaning major news stories can be silenced totally for years.\n\nThat's not really true, otherwise you wouldn't know about it to complain about it. There's obvious reasons why the news wouldn't be able to comment on very sensitive cases or investigations.\n\nAll of this sounds like good things.\n\nIf you don't like any of it, you can literally change the channel for most of the things you consider issues.\n\n> censorship and government control\n\nAgain, not really.

It's a lot less common in American comedy for the comedian to degrade *himself*, so the idea that Krishnan is helping Ayoade bag on him is harder to identify.",

"The main context is that TV interviews on UK news shows are not supposed to simply be advertisements for a new product. However, since many people watch the news and the news is supposed to be trustworthy, getting a segment on a news show is something many publicists want for their products.\n\nSo there's a give and take, if you come on a UK news show to do a publicity spot, you are going on a serious show about serious topics. If you've made a work about a serious topic, great, you'll get questions about that and be fine (if you made a documentary about the war in Iraq, you'll get asked questions about Iraq). But if you've made a piece of straightforward entertainment, there's no news in that, so you are going to get asked questions about yourself, and if you are a controversial figure, you should expect questions about those controversies, which you may not want to answer.\n\nOf course if you're *not* a controversial figure, that's not an option either, so you'll get some softball mix of questions that could look approximately like newsworthy content. Instead, Guru-Murthy asks if Ayoade sees himself as a role model for British *Norwegians*, because it highlights that its always the same interview, basically--everyone who's watched an interview with a black celebrity (in the UK at least) has heard this interview before: \"Do you see yourself as a role model for the black community?\" \"should there be more black people in films?\" It's when you hear it with \"Norwegian\" instead of \"Black\" you realise how silly and banal the questions are.",

So much so that they outright refuse to innovate or even iterate their way of doing things. It leaves them years, if not decades, behind the curve. \n\nEventually, they will be left scratching their heads while their industry dies around them. Shaking their fists in the air, blaming millennials and whatever else they can think up to take responsibility off of their shoulders. Never realizing that they are Blockbuster Video, in 2004 or whenever, who was offered a chance to buy Netflix for a few million dollars. If I'm not mistaken, Blockbuster laughed at them. Whoever sat on the board during that time should be legally forbidden from ever holding a job in business again.\n\nThe second you get complacent in a major company like that, you might as well start selling your shares. Number two WILL gobble up every scrap you don't put in your mouth, and eventually, if the scraps are big enough, they'll end up stronger than you are. So utilizing a way of doing business from the goddamned turn of the 20th century is a wonderful way to leave a whole meal out for the competition.\n\nNot that I'm complaining.

"> Not strictly a panel show - kind of a hybrid - but the US version of Taskmaster was just a disaster. Wrong \"taskmaster\", wrong contestants. The appeal of the original (and every other international version I've watched like NZ, and Norway) is the constants' willingness to make fools of themselves. The comedians they picked for the US version were just too competitive.\n\nThis is generally the problem when it comes to all American attempts at panel shows, I feel. The British ones have more of a sense of camaraderie where everyone on the show is working together for the sake of the jokes. They let themselves be the target of a joke, work to set-up a punchline for someone else, and there really isn't any one-upmanship. The American versions always feel like everyone is trying to make sure they're the funniest and telling the best jokes. It's less cooperative and, instead, everyone out for themselves.\n\nHaving thought about it in the past, my conclusion was that the issue is what type of comedians they go for in these shows. England is obviously a much smaller country, therefore basically every comedian knows everyone else to some degree. It's probably just not as competitive by nature. America, on the other hand, is much bigger, and not only had a lot of different comedy scenes (LA, NY, Chicago, etc.) but also more styles of comedy to specialize in. You can try your hand at stand-up, join an improv troupe, or become part of a sketch comedy team.\n\nThe problem is these shows always go after the stand-ups when they should be going after the improv and sketch people. Stand-up in America is extremely competitive and cutthroat. You're constantly vying for venues and timeslots. Improv/sketch people, however, are more used to collaborating and elevating others' jokes. Instead of people like Lisa Lampanelli, D. L. Hughley, Ron Funches, etc., they should've gotten people like Jason Mantzoukas, Lauren Lapkus, Paul F. Thompkins, etc. - ie comedians that are used to working as part of a team rather than by themselves.",

"Eh, Lamarr could go too far as well. A family friend was on the show and said Lamarr was a proper cunt to him the whole time, it wasn't just edgy banter",
"Ya exactly, I'm not a huge fan of Krishnan but all this comes down to the fact that Americans are so used to celebrities having interviews be a proxy to advertise whatever shit the celebrity is trying to sell that whenever an interviewer asks a difficult or unflattering question, they just see it as some form of attack or gotcha journalism. You can see this even better in Shapiro's interview with the BBC, you can just see that he feels so caught off guard and attacked by the journalist simply asking him questions on controversial statements that he'd made that he ended the interview early. \n\nLiterally the only purpose interviews serve in the US is to sell the viewers some product. Their PR people will tell the interviewer exactly which type of topics are allowed to be talked about, they will often even give the interviewer topics to talk about, and the interviewee will have all the prepared responses they need, it is essentially all theatre. The whole purpose of this is to make the celebrity appear more charismatic and so that it appears that the topics being talked about are coming about naturally so that they're more convincing. Advertising works best when people aren't aware that they're being advertised to, and that's why celebrity interviews are so common in the US. \n\nSo whenever an interviewer \"randomly\" brings up a story about a celebrity getting themselves into an \"embarrassing\" situation which makes them seem endearing or impressive or whatever, it seems natural and convivial, but really all it is is highly rehearsed, contrived bullshit made to make people buy stuff, that's all.",

"The US The Office is great after season 1. Precisely because they actually decided to spend the time re-implementing it in US culture. The Inbetweeners, Peep Show, Red Dwarf, etc, all failed spectacularly because they just tried to copy paste it, instead of actually spending time changing it to fit US culture. Similarly look at House of Card, again it worked (at least the first few seasons) because they rebuilt it using US culture.\n\nI'd suggest giving The Office another chance, and just starting at season 2. I can still see why you might not like it, but it's very different to the UK version. They changed the characters to be more American, changed the office culture to be more American, and plenty of other tweaks. Really leaving just behind the core concept.\n\nHad they done this for the other shows I think they might have even been a success (although I think that'd be very difficult to do with Red Dwarf). I think a US Peep Show could have been brilliant had they actually spend the time rebuilding it from the core concept.",
"i recently have become addicted to task master. If there was ever a british style panel show that was ripe for a US remake it was this. Though, it would have to be on some kind of streaming service.

"Everything you've said above is correct, save the \"highly rehearsed part. \n\nBut it's not entirely as ruthlessly plotted anymore and somewhat just a function of inertia. A lot of things like film contracts will spell out the promotional obligations as actual required duties. Most fans don't understand that leasing a sidewalk star on the walk of fame is also a budgeted and paid for thing, it's not some municipal honor that just happens to magically confer in the middle of a film's PR junket. The organization selling the lease and the film buying it both have no interest in being transparent about what is happening because that would devalue it for both of them.",
"It isn't and it is also the case that simple promotion of media does happen as well, particularly on the BBC News (far more the other networks) since Ofcom aren't actually that hot on keeping them in particular within the rules.\n\nYou'll often see movie promotion etc, particularly if it's a movie filmed in the UK. Doesn't need social context, recent example would be their promotion of the new Bond movie.\n\n\nEither way, it doesn't belong on the news and is quite obviously just something they do to fill time/to bump another story off the running.

"> It kind of is\n\nNo, it's not.\n\n> you have people like James O'Brien had to leave the BBC to be allowed to criticize Brexit and Trump while someone can wander on and talk about hating all foreigners and no one cares.\n\nLmao more bullshit. Yes of course you have to leave if you want to openly criticize a whole political movement rather than be impartial, because again, state funded. Why is this so crazy to you?\n\nWhen do they allow people to \"wander on and talk about hating all foreigners\"? This is some actual fucking nonsense that doesn't happen, and you have to gall to say this and then later on talk about dog whistles. There are certainly right wing politicans that have been allowed to discuss their stance, as they should be allowed, along with everyone else in the political spectrum, the difference is it's not someone who works for the BBC, their job is to foster discussion and at times lightly moderate, not to dictate what politics the country is allowed to hear. Look at when the leader of the BNP was put onto Question Time.\n\n> It was studied by Cardiff University over 5 years and the found Right Wing viewpoints outweighed left wing ones 2:1\n\nThere are lots of studies that argue either way. It's insane to think there isn't going to be a bias, even if you look at BBC staff hires there's a bias for left wing, even to the point of hiring leaders of left wing politics into top positions.\n\nIf you actually read that study you'd also see that there are other years where the same was true for the opposite, Labour vs Conservative, but let's leave that out because it doesn't fit in your argument.\n\nThe point is their job is to be as impartial as possible, 'as possible' being the key phrase.\n\n> It's even just super super obvious from someone from the outside, the positions on your main stream news look like a more openly racist version of Fox, like Fox without the need for Dog whistles.\n\nIt's so obvious you can't put it into words?\n\nBBC more openly racist than Fox News. Lmao now I've heard it all. The only comparable to Fox News that we have is probably the Daily Mail/The Sun, which is low hanging fruit and isn't blasted across your tv screen - which is what we're actually talking about.\n\nYou've yet to make a single argument for left wing politics being 'silenced'. So far all you've given me is reference to a study that found a right-wing bias in the BBC, despite also showing a left-wing bias in other years, and your anecdotal (wrong) observation that our media is \"more opently racist than Fox\". Jeesh, yea I can't help you there buddy, your head is in the clouds.\n\nYou latched onto advertisements and not being able to flog books, and then pivoted to \"RACIST\" because you were that hurt that people didn't crowd around your opinion of a virtuous Canadian media landscape (which it's definitely not). Talk about a wild fuckin ride. If they could write a bot to show off the critical discussion skills of the average redditor, I think you'd be pretty close to what they spat out.",
"Because in Canada we have state funded news too and it doesn't work like that, people don't have to remain 'impartial 'to lie to people, That's psychotic.\n\nYou seriously have no idea how brutally right wing and racist your media is while muzzling all dissent of authority.\n\nIt's insane Britain has become this fallen mirror of America.",
"Bonus bit of Hagrid at the end there.",
"How much for some drawings?",
"Had anyone never said, \"pray tell\" in a genuine way? I don't think they have.",
"Wow, after all these comments I thought it was going to be genuinely a rude interview. Actually he asked very respectfully, explained multiple times you don't have to answer, etc. How bizarre to me that people are up in and about this."

"well, I would also like this very much. \n\nTo me the most surprising thing is that he eat standing up in his kitchen. I was expecting a fuzzy shot of a table full of family and friends joined around a shared dinner with smooth jazz in the background.",
"It's not raw and you know it. \n\nWhy are people so hyperbolic about the doneness of meat? Just say you don't like rare beef. It's so easy.",
"That's not even rare that's medium rare. If you have really high-quality lean beef it's much better cooked this way. A cheaper fattier cut would be pretty terrible medium-rare of course.",

"Then don’t call well-done beef, “overdone” or “burned” or “dried out”. I hear that every time I order well-done. And it’s none of those.",
"I mean I don't...but ok.\n\nSounds like you've had some bad personal experiences you are projecting onto an internet stranger.",
"Yes, I was commenting on how I feel. I didn’t say it was true. As a matter of fact, my comment was remarking that I *feel* like the only person who doesn’t like beef that way.",
"I just find rare beef tasteless and rubbery. That’s just me it seems.",
"Likewise from you. Calling rare beef “raw” seems to have really touched a nerve.",
"Nah you were just wrong.",
"We didn't. You did and also called this raw out of nowhere which, by definition, it is not.\n\nYou're just flipping out at both ends at enemies you've invented.",

"I've never felt so nostalgic for something that is so dissimilar from my own life. It calmed me so",
"I loved everything about this whole video. I need 1000 more similar to it.",
"Sounds like you're eating the wrong beef rare.",
"i made one (well actually my dad did) a month ago and the bottom was SOGGY and the meat was overdone",
"I’ve had some pretty expensive beef in a restaurant. And under peer pressure from friends, ordered it medium rare. It was pretty disappointing.",
"Fancy sausage roll.",
"Looks like you’re going to have to change your username now. R.I.P. Inoffensive_Account.",
"Well, I was never offended.",
"Medium rare?. Lol it's still mooing. The 2nd layer pastry isn't even cooked. Soon as I saw him put it in the oven and not go into the process of cooking that thicc welly, I knew it would be undercooked. I highly doubt its a 72hour cook, I'd say 1-2hours on a low heat even still that would of cooked the pastry... clickbait title.",
"This was the perfect combination of the voiceless narration of Primitive Technology and the food from Binging with Babish (which I know Alvin has done videos for). And now I need to go eat.",
"That’s perfect for when you are going to be hungry in a few days!",
"I'm not going to downvote or call you names or anything like some of the other commentators here... but honestly calling medium rare meat \"raw\" just because its still a pink is like saying a carrot isn't fully cooked until it is black all the way through. Things change colors and texture as they cook. Meat happens to retain some redness bbecause it is...red. \n\n\nNot liking rare/medium-rare is your right. No one can tell you your tastes are wrong. But acting like medium rare is the same as knawing into the freshly butchered body of a cow is just silly.",
"Preferred filet mignon to what?",
"nope, that may be true for something like hamburgers but with steak and stuff it makes it juicier to dry brine it for a time. It is a good way to add flavor and juiciness. Try it, it does make a difference. It draws out the moisture mainly from the outside because I believe the density of the meat aka the muscle is dense enough where it won't draw out the moisture from the inside but just the outside. So when you cook it, there isn't as much moisture on the outside which leads it to an easier sear on the outside therefore allowing you to have a crispier sear on the outside while still maintaining a rarer steak on the inside. IN SUMMARY lol, you get a quicker, crispier and easier sear on the outside while maintaining a tender juicy inside that is easier to keep a medium rare/rare inside.",
"No that's bullshit. If you have a massive chunk of meat salt it heavily for as long as possible (even the night before if you can) before cooking. It takes a while for salt to penetrate into anything. It does not ruin the protein or make it dry.",
"The Wellington is RAWWWWWW",
"Why not just use a food processor if you're going to mince everything?",
"Sponsored by Saran Wrap I'm guessing?",
"Am i the only person who finds this stuff wayyyy too pretentious to watch through?",
"I think he’s saying he prefers to cook a piece of fillet steak in a skillet with butter etc than browning an entire fillet and cooking it in the oven within pastry.",
"Probably still better than this one. His meat was still raw, and the inner pasty wasn't even cooked.",
"> Tenderloin flavor\n\nWhile everyone is entitled to their own opinion, wtf you talking about? Tenderloin is the least flavourful cut of beef, no fat, no flavour.",
">knawing into the freshly butchered body of a cow is just silly.\n\n\nAlbeit absolutely delicious if you hammer it paper thin, season it, and serve it with some toast slices, capers, and red onion.",
"Yeah I'm with you, filet is easily the most underwhelming cut of steak there is. Super tender but the flavor is just not there.",
"Is it the Wellington? He has other videos where he does cookies and cake too. It’s just a dude making videos about something he enjoys. Don’t be a hater.",
"Beef wellington uses beef tenderloin (when you cut beef tenderloin into steak filets it’s called filet mignon steaks… same exact meat).\n\nI prefer the taste of filet mignon steaks over even the best beef Wellington. There is just something to the breading that detracts from the amazing taste of the steak by itself. \n\nThen again I absolutely love steak so I know it’s a bias.",
"J. Kenji López-Alt has a whole section in his book about this. Essentially it boiled down to salt it either right before it goes on the heat, or an hour or more beforehand. If you do it from like an hour inwards the salt pulls out moisture from the steak and makes it harder to sear.",
"For entertainment reasons I can understand why he makes these videos, but you really don't need 72hrs to make a good wellington.",
"If you think filet mignon is “flavorless” you’ve haven’t been eating top grade filet mignon. Beef Wellington wouldn’t even be a popular dish if it was flavorless, the tenderloin is the main attraction.\n\nSince you’re mostly talking about fat content (and tenderloin is lean) You can get fattier filet mignon (like Wagyu tenderloin) and enhance that taste factor even further. You do not even need to spend that much to get a great tenderloin steak though. Good meat is expensive though so don’t cheap out if you want something good.\n\nRegardless the main appeal of filet mignon is the mouth feel. It’s the most soft meat on the cow. Hence the tender in tenderloin. Tough shoe leather meat even when it tastes great is not an appealing experience. It can be cheaper though, since it’s easier to get low tier fatty steak for cheap. To me it’s everything combined that makes the experience of a good meal.",
"I thought this was a pretty widely known fact but apparently not. I’ll take a nice marbled ribeye over a filet mignon any day.",
"The perfect song at the beginning of his videos[Ji-eun's Sunset by City Girl](https://youtu.be/Ej_onDLqCPA)",
"> You can get fattier filet mignon (like Wagyu tenderloin) and enhance that taste factor even further.\n\nSo in the cases where chance you dont have $[1400](https://www.costco.ca/japanese-beef-wagyu-a5-tenderloin-4.6-kg-\\(10.2-lb\\)--.product.100732007.html), to burn its flavourless.\n\n>Regardless the main appeal of filet mignon is the mouth feel\n\nSo yeah, its flavourless.",
"Has nothing on my week long spag bol",
"I was curios about this dish. I looked up Gordan Ramseys restaurant and found that this dish can be had for $99 at his places. It serves two and comes with salad and red wine.\n\nThat sounds almost reasonable.",
"That was so beautiful, and peaceful. Art. And also made me think of Hannibal (tv show)",
"Yolandi Visser aged fast.",
"Lies. The video was only 15 minutes long",
"Bro he did some other video making a 192 hour brownie or some dumb shit. \n\nSlow cooking is great for tougher cuts of meat because it breaks down the connective tissues and collagen well. You don’t suddenly get to apply that thought process to every other recipe and make it better.",
"Love the cooking, editing and most things about his videos. The click bait titles put me off so much. Call me crazy but I refuse to support someone that does that.",
"So you agree that tenderloin will be less flavorful then other cuts from the same cow?\n\nJust because tenderloin is soft doesn't mean others aren't either. If you're gonna try and say that buying top grade filet is required for flavor, then you should try top grade cuts of new york or rib eye since you must be buying shit quality of those cuts if they're tough like leather. Same reasoning right",
"It’s all for the clicks but it just comes across as very frustrating, try-hard and inauthentic which is a shame for all the reasons you’ve stated.",
"This is pure art!",
"\\>infuses bourbon in butter for a day \n\\>infuses coffee beans in cream for 2 days \n\\>makes cake batter and lets it rest for a day. \n\\>bakes it \n\\>makes a chocolate mousse \n\\>assembles cake, rests it for a day, freezes it \n\\>decorates cake then serves it \n\n\\>end of the video: \"yeah, this could be made much faster but I just like taking my time because it's so chill & relaxing\"\n\nClickbait, sure, but it is, at least, some bona-fide languid decadence and not just /r/stupidfood style garbage excessiveness. ¯\\\\\\_(ツ)\\_/¯",
"Are you really this bored in life you gotta troll people over a steak?\n\nThat’s “A5” grade Wagyu the highest grade possible and 10 pounds of it. A5 is wholly unnecessary unless you’re buying it just to say you did that. Why would you buy 10 pouch of that anyway are you hosting a party for the royals?\n\nYou can buy really good tenderloin for 40-50 bucks for 1 pound (2 great steaks) and it would taste phenomenal. Wagyu is a rare treat and you can buy just a couple steaks for a lot cheaper, like 100-120 you don’t need to shell out a grand especially since you are clearly not saving money in bulk.\n\nHowever, Wagyu is expensive for all cuts of meat not just Tenderloin so what’s your point anyway? Just to troll me and pretend like you’re making a competent point which remains to be seen? If you were linking that to pretend like you know something about beef, that’s not even as expensive as Wagyu gets, Olive Wagyu is the most expensive and they do not export it. It can cost as much as 300-450 per “per single steak” depending on what cut you get.",
"I mean I can understand preference, to each their own, but it doesn't *change* the taste of the tenderloin per se. \n\nThat said, tenderloin is one of the blandest pieces of beef you can eat, you are literally paying for tenderness. Just about any other piece of steak has more flavour."

"Whenever I've played home poker games there was always a rule that the person to the left of the shuffler had to cut the deck in half to their choosing. I'd never realised why, but now see that it circumvents the tactic shown in the video.",
"It circumvents the tactic, but there are hundreds of ways of \"beating\" the cut (put out back in order after the cut with some kind of \"move\"). Guy in the video is a very nice guy, who could certainly do several of the moves to get past the cut. I am very much into all of this, the \"hobby\" and I would be suspicious af playing in any game where I didn't know the people (especially for any kind of real money)\n\n&#x200B;\n\n\"put your trust in god, but always cut the cards\" :)",
"If I cut the deck and the person moves the cards around with a move after, I'm asking for another re-shuffel and cut. Also if you cut and square up the deck, it'd be very difficult / impossible to find the spot to reverse that cut",
"Interesting",
"There are many many ways to do just that. Many ways, The point is you wouldn’t see the person moving cards around, it would just “happen” as far as the other players know. You’d be amazed at what’s possible",
"I think it is kinda like how there's 100 ways to defeat most residential door locks, but just having a lock prevents almost everyone from attempting",
"I agree, I guess I’m talking about a series of things involving the cut",
"Always ways around",
"Around what? Honestly curious what you mean",
"Around rules - it’s more a general comment like technically you have to do something but almost always ways round to stack deck in your favour both literally and metaphorically",
"I’ve been to poker tournaments where they allow players to call out, at any time, for some number of cards to be removed. \n\nLike while betting is going on, someone just says “toss the top card” or “take two cards off the top” and those cards are just dealt off to the side and never revealed. The point being you are constantly screwing up the order of cards being dealt and preventing anyone from cheating by knowing the order of the cards.",
"Really? In hold ‘em? Regardless, the initial round of betting? So all cards are dealt to the hand (before flop, up card etc) and then anyone in the hand can just request a few cards taken out? Always off the top? Does it have a “name”, in terms of something like “cut” or whatever?\n\nTbh, this is all kind of a hobby for me and I’ve never heard of that, and all different procedures are a big thing as well",
"Could you elaborate on one of the hundred ways where someone who didn't shuffle randomly cuts the deck and the cards are still stacked?",
"So you mean a deck that is stacked, and somehow still intact after the cut? I will have to watch what he says but I assume he is talking about one of the many ways to \"reverse\" the cut, with the hands or some kind of mark on the cards. You would be amazed at all of the different passes or \"hops\" that are out there in use"

"I never heard of them till this post nor had I heard of \"astroturfing\" before so that's a new word for my collection.",
"I'll give it to him, it's catchy",
"To repeat the same phrase over and over, same beat, same lame \"hook\" isn't music, it's a noise mosaic that any \"fears, hopes and dreams\" get swallowed up in and aren't communicated to anyone. This guys \"music\" shows how shallow his feelings are."

"From the YouTube comments\n\n>I'm six inches into this box and all I'm feeling is air",
"100 nits brightness. So their optics technology is probably dimming things. This same display can be created brute force with MicroLED (2-3 million nits) and metalenses (to direct the light at specific angles) fabricated over each subpixel. It just requires an absurd amount of processing power. I see they're using GPUs and FPGAs to calculate and control the lightfield, so very similar processing bottlenecks as expected. A MicroLED/metalens/FPGA approach would be ungodly expensive right now, but it would look straight out of sci-fi. Only a few companies have access to foundries to produce such displays though.\n\nAlso they limited the viewing angle to 100 degrees. I wonder what angular difference is between pixels. I see numbers like 2.5 billion pixels. At 1080p I'd guess that would be around 35 images in the horizontal and 35 vertical if evenly divided between horizontal/vertical. So 3 degrees between image? That would be a really smooth transition depending on your distance.\n\nedit: https://venturebeat.com/2021/10/07/light-field-lab-shows-off-solidlight-high-res-holographic-display/\n\n> Each submodule, or brick, is 16K by 10K pixels. The brick’s display surface is six inches by four inches.\n\n> By putting 15 of those holograms bricks together, the company can assemble a 28-inch holographic display that can project images in front of it. It can push 2.5 billion pixels to the generated holographic object and scale it to any size that fits within the 28-inch display space.\n\nImpressive.",
"Awesome. Now figure out how to do recordings that can be displayed this way. I'm ready for holofilms.",
"I imagine the real problem is the hardware needed for playback",
"host is hot",
"This is not a new 'concept'. The difference is it is in RGB colour. In the 70's I went to a hologram exhibition in central London, (around the time Lazerium was showing.). One of the exhibits was a real, physical object - a broken wine glass (base, stem and part of the, still attatched, bowl) affixed to the wall.\n\nFrom certain angles you saw, only a broken glass, from other angles you saw the complete glass, but the restored part *was* 3D, and appeared as 'there' as the actual glass remnant. The colour of the 'restored' bowl was bluish, but it really appeared to be a solid object.\n\nThere were, also, Roman swords and other 'floating' things like forks, but the overall colour was red.\n\nThere was even an animated person who moveed and talked as you moved past and around the white light, curved surface. Great days. :D",
"Neato. Still not a true [hologram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography).",
"**[Holography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography)** \n \n >Holography is a technique that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later re-constructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images, but it also has a wide range of other applications. In principle, it is possible to make a hologram for any type of wave. A hologram is made by superimposing a second wavefront (normally called the reference beam) on the wavefront of interest, thereby generating an interference pattern which is recorded on a physical medium.\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)",
"Love the name",
"That demo throws up a red flag for me. \n\nThey keep saying that you can view it from multiple angles, but that demo is set up to stop viewing the user from viewing the hologram from most angles. \n\nThe way that demo is set up now, the angles are so limited you could easily just use a screen to get the same effect (unless shoving your hand through the hologram is the only effect you're going for). In fact, high end screens can get you 180 degrees viewing angle and the way this hologram set in so far into the display you're technically not even getting a full 180 degrees. For holograms to be holograms the way we think of them in sci-fi we NEED to be able to walk around and see them from all angles. \n\nI will optimistically reserve full judgment (and full excitement) when they show a hologram projected in mid air and you can fully walk around it. Maybe if they get that Samsung cash money the R&D can take it further.",

The phrase from this video \"Why are you gay?\" became such a meme because it's exactly that kind of ignorance that is easily remedied in the western world (and for other reasons on more homophobic sides of the internet). \n\nWhile it's not a queer person (or other minority's job) to educate someone on their existence, pretty much all of the people I've met are more than willing to answer questions or at least tolerate someone who is trying in good faith. \n\nThere are just different rules when you're a broadcaster on a famous platform where you have the resources to avoid simple mistakes and are able to more elegantly ask questions to allow someone to explain, describe, and talk.",
"That’s generally because in most cases. The person asking those questions *is* bullying or the person being asked the questions is used to be bullied and/or beaten. So hostility is naturally perceived by them.\n\nIf you ask questions with genuine curiosity, and compassion. You will always be received well. However, I also think someone genuinely curious and compassionate would do the slightest bit of research online to understand the basics before confronting someone directly first.",

"Yeah, I can see that. It’s important to act respectfully when talking about sensitive issues. People should be encouraged to do research on topics they are genuinely interested in. I think part of the problem is that a lot of the people who do come off as bullying are probably people who aren’t invested enough to actually research the topic, and would prefer that the information be fed to them from someone so they don’t have to do the extra work of research. Then again, I guess we should expect that people asking questions are naive to the facts.",

"I know quite a few queer people, non-binary and questioning folks and this really hasn’t been my experience at all. I ask probing questions all the time and get honest answers.

I don’t have an agenda to push, I’m not trying to catch them in a verbal trap or argue with their identity. If I challenge them or argue, I make it clear that *I want to understand and I take you seriously.*\n\nThe truth is that a lot of “questions” that straight/cis people ask aren’t really about getting answers. They’re about pushing a hostile agenda or provoking a response. And marginalized people *need* to be quick to shut that down because those conversations are designed to hurt them.

A homosexual probably is given little fucks about in a tribe full of horny straight men looking for females since they aren't rivals",
"This guy needs Gay 101. Seems very confused.",
"That seems extremely simplified. I would say that tribes who are constantly in conflict with other tribes need to be fierce and warlike, and therefore effeminate behaviour would be frowned upon by the men. But this is all silly conjecture. My point is that it's easy to point out the flaws of the colonisers, but it's also easy to forget that a lot of the places that they colonized were pretty barbaric in some ways, and this is largely forgotten. Like in India, before the British came, the custom was that when a man died, he would be burned on a pyre, and his widow had to burn to death in the pyre. I suspect that the world was full of these types of barbaric traditions before the Europeans came, but that they all got forgotten about and swept under the carpet afterwards. There is probably a semi-legitimate reason that Western Europe considered itself enlightened and superior compared to the rest of the world. Obviously it varied from place to place, and obviously Western Europe was full of variation, and they had lots of their own things that are considered barbaric today. And obviously they were only too happy to consider themselves the superior and special ones compared to the rest of the world (which is what basically every culture does at some point), but I suspect that there was at least a grain of truth to it and that the general well-being improved after European influence, overall.",
"That ending is what got me.",
"Homosexuality occurs naturally among humans, it's illogical to assume said humans are also completely intolerant to it. And not all homosexuals act feminine. Furthermore, tribes were quite small. A homosexual would probably not leave the tribe looking for a mate, but instead stay there with relatives among who'm they grew up and hunted with. It's not like humans to suddenly deside that feminine behaviour among males is bad, they probably weren't even aware of such concepts and gave little thought to slightly deviating male behaviour. It's only when religion based rules, or cultural principles start developing that humans suddenly start viewing certain things as immoral.\n\nHumans by default ascribe whatever they observe as amoral unless it's an obvious threat to their own welbeing or that of the tribe(Murder, stealing, hostility). Sure some tribes could've developed a set of rules that demonize feminine behaviour among males, but it's not fhe default.",
"Tbh I find both of our positions to be overly simplistic and unconvincing. The reality of the world, and moreso in ancient times, is that societies vary hugely across areas and across time.\n\n\n\nThe Spartans were extremely macho and conservative, but the men had sex with little boys. The Romans thought it was ok to fuck a guy but that it was shameful to be fucked by a guy. What is considered gay is unclear, and attitudes would have been constantly changing. \n\n\n\nIn a society where you need to be tough, it's inevitable that being tough and strong and enjoying combat would be encouraged in the boys, and in tribal situations, where producing the most children (and therefore warriors) is hugely desirable, not marrying or producing no children would be disdained. However, there is a huge amount of variety across cultures and within cultures across time.\n\n\n\nJust because something is natural, doesn't mean that it's accepted. It also doesn't mean that it's rejected. \n\n\n\nThere would be no sudden realization. The tribe would either be tough and warlike, or would be killed by one that was. \n\n\n\nEvery culture has religion and rules. They are usually based on things that are beneficial for the group/society. Christianity and Islam brought in a more centralised aspect, but there was probably a lot of overlap. I don't know why you imagine that the Africans lived in peaceful tribes singing kumbaya before outsiders showed up",
"The pastor even starts eating some of the vegetables he brought in. Holy hell that killed me. \n\nBut yeah, when I just saw the clips I thought the host was being an asshole, but turns out, he was actually trying to understand. He even calls Pepe \"a young man\" and uses the \"he\" pronoun when talking to the pastor.",
"He is a man. He is in a heterosexual relationship with a woman.",
"Yup, this is Uganda and the fact they got a FtM trans person on TV for a real interview is ultra-progressive. The interviewer, as funny as it is to us, was only asking the questions the audience wants to ask.\n\nentire interview: https://youtu.be/liRvscK5vPc\n\nNote how long she spends explaining things like gay, lesbian, bi.\nIt's not talked about, and this was pretty awesome."

"I would’ve asked if that also had someone to assist wiping my ass too.",
"My first job wanted me to skip high school to work early shifts.",
"I got my first COVID shot, and felt like absolute dogshit the next day. I texted my manager to see if my absence would be covered if I called out. She texted back saying she didn't know. So, I hauled my ass in, and worked.\n\nShe came up to me the day after, and said that *it would've been covered*. Like, cool. Thanks for the memo.",
"This happens in entry level corporate positions too",
"If nothing else at least they where accommodating lol.",
"no one else was concerned about the massive tangle on that phone cable?",
"Its accurate for a wal mart manager office lol",
"This is so true. I had a torn meniscus and the cartilage had flipped up into the knee joint locking my knee so I couldn't bend my knee. I had to go in for surgery but it was going to be two days before I could get in. I called work and told them I wouldn't be in and would need time off after the surgery. The tried to tell me I had to come in and it wasn't an excuse not to come in. I was stunned and replied with \"I can't walk, I don't care what you say I will not be in\".\n\nIt was a massive wake up call just to how little they valued me so I started applying for jobs after the surgery and left soon after.",
"I'm getting surgery on Monday and I will be out for 2 weeks. My boss just told me today after I had requested off weeks ago, \"I didn't realize so many people had already requested off that week.\" Ok? So what, surgery is not an option, nor can I really choose when it happens.",
"I thought this was \"Crap on Apple\" day on /r/videos, so I was confused by the video for a while.",
"Just for that week?",
"I'm not 100% sure on that, my mom has to tell them that I wouldn't be in for the foreseeable future. \n\n I ended up coming back worked for about a month and was fired for getting a chair and sitting down while operating the drive thru window on the back shift.. I was the only one working and he was spending his nights watching the security cameras apparently.",
"This guy has so many quality skits. \n\nAnd there's so much truth in them... Too much sometimes. We gotta fix this shit.",
"I have the best supervisor I've ever had right now. He doesn't give me any shit about having to call in for my daughter or being sick. Zero. \n\nAnd you know what effect that has? I rarely call in unless it is absolutely necessary. Because I don't want to take advantage of his kindness. I've had attendance issues at other jobs... But not this one for this reason.",
"Lol can’t be too comfortable now!",
"Got hit by a car (minor scratches) told my supervisor what should I do? They gave me two options: come back to the site or continue working. I chose to stay (it was good payments) but upon going back to my site, the operations manager emailed me after work about the equipment damage. I explained to them I was in an accident and they suspended me indefinitely for not following SOP EVEN THOUGH MY SUPERVISOR SAID IT WAS OK TO CONTINUE WORKING!!! Unless you own the business, you are expandable, simple as that. Fucking love the fact that workers have power right now but it’s slowly losing its influence because inflation is a bitch AND bills and shit.",
"I work for a major corporation. We get 4 days of sick time per year, after that it's vacation time. Unfortunately this type of shit is everywhere. And it's getting worse, when I first started it was unlimited sick time.",
"I fell down a flight of stairs and ended up with a sprained ankle. I called my boss and told her I could still come in but I couldn't wear my work shoe and I would need a chair. She got pissed and said \"don't bother\" and I got written up. Even tho I was trying to work around my injury, it was too much of an inconvenience.",
"This is very true for a lot of jobs unfortunately, you just have to move on to a different job. I worked at a small \"family company\" that worked me to fucking death, so much so that I considered a career change. But after switching to a different company in the same trade I couldn't be happier.\n\nI know it's not always possible especially for kids just out of highschool or college goers working part time but if you have a valuable skill then I promise you there are companies that will value your skill more than the one you're at now. Hell my company will even allow me to tell a customer to fuck off (in much politer words) when they're being too demanding and overstepping their bounds.",
"Unfortunately its only when a worker acquires special skills that are hard to replace does the company even try to keep them.",
"I've been having pain from having my wisdom teeth coming in for a month now and have repeatedly told my boss of my upcoming oral surgery. Now that it's next week they want me to reschedule or come in after the surgery. AFTER THE SURGERY. I'M HAVING ALL FOUR PULLED OUT, I CAN'T COME IN AFTER THE SURGERY. Management somehow forgets about human decency sometimes.",
"I had a coworker get fired for getting injured, going to the Doctor, and reporting it to the ministry. \n\"We prefer to handle injuries internationally so they don't raise our insurance.\"",
"I caught valley fever earlier this year and I ended up getting pneumonia from it. I told my manager about it and his response was “you can still work though, right?” My dumbass kept working until things got to the point where I was having trouble catching my breath I was coughing so much (I work from home). Eventually, I decided to take one day off from work to rest. That one day of rest helped a lot with my recovery.",
"This is why when my work gave me 6hours pto to get my shot i took a damn 1 and 30mins trip to get mine back in april right on fucking april first. Best part is 3weeks later got another perfect excused 3hours because i had to go back to the same place. Granted yeah coulda flubbed it but i got a nice break from work and a dope ass 3hr drive break paid, ate pizza and jammed the fuck out high as hell on the back roads.",
"I got west nile while working at a hospital. Department head was like so 24 hour bug then your back right? You are the only one that knows how to draw labs from the cancer wing so we need you back.",
"Got me irritated.",
"And they wonder why they can't find employees.",
"\"A gunshot wound is not gonna stop us being a family\".\n\nLOL, this line is gold.",
"Worked for a family owned and operated company in tech support. The stress of the job got to me and I broke out in shingles. I called in and asked for the day off to go to the doctor. Was told that shingles in my 20's was not a valid enough reason to not come in. Went in, cried in my office chair before being told to go to a doctor. Came back with a note to take a couple days off. Was fired for \"not being part of the family\"",
"You ain't working if you ain't standing. Now get up and start working FASTER. Don't care for them broken ankles of yours, they'll heal as you work. \n\n\n/s \n(apologies for any flashbacks I may have caused 😭)",
"Called FMLA",
"i sprained my ankle i could have called in sick and work would find a way somehow but it was holiday shift which meant not only would i miss out on pay but also the extra pay and i was getting that extra cash.\n\nthe good thing was work could accommodate me and i just did the work where you just sit all day.",
"Love and Marriage~\n\nLove and Marriage~\n\nThey go together like a\n\nHorse and Carriage!\n\nThis, I tell ya' brother:\n\nYou can't have one without the\n\nOther~!",
"Real question is why people don't throw that we're a family shit back in their face - like if we're a family why aren't they doing more to help me put a roof over my head and food in my mouth?",
"Sprained my ankle and came in with a doctor's note saying to rest. I offered too work anyway, manager rolled her eyes and said I can't now, you already gave me the note. Nothing about oh hope you get well soon etc.",
"I don't worry about shit like this. My employers don't play this game. Why?\n\nBecause I'm union. And you should be, too. Fuck the propaganda that's told you unions are bad. Unions are why you're *supposed* to only work a 40 hour week. Unions are why you're *supposed* to get overtime if you do more than that. Unions are why you're *supposed* to be protected from employers who mistreat you. Unions are why safety regs are *supposed* to be followed.\n\nWhoever is employing you doesn't give a shit about you. So fuck them. Unionize. Take a collective stance. Take back your rights. Earn a fair wage and be treated with respect. \n\nBecause each an every one of you DESERVE that.",
"The way he said \"you think that's gonna heal up today? Cause we're gonna need your help\" took me waaaay back. Nailed it. Fuck. I do not miss that.",
"Jobs and corporations are not some sentient entity controlling our lives. It's just people. No kings or queens, no overlords. Most of it is people like you and me. \n\nThe manager/staffing planner is tired of everyone's shit. They hear so many obvious lies on a daily basis which in turn causes their empathy rot away. \n\nEven if the staffing planner has full understanding/empathy resentment will build over time, because the cancer patient being 50% randomly on sick leave will cause problems for everyone else at work. They understand, they feel empathy and they also feel resentment.",
"I think this is illegal in the U.S.",
"Time to unionise and eat the rich",
"Because unfortunately it’s a cutthroat world and if you don’t do the job someone else will\n\nLmao, getting downvoted for simply speaking the truth? Ok",
"Ok Quark",
"Good shit. Nice to feel respected, isn’t it",
"Yeah employers don’t give a fuck about you. And it’s made even worse when they push bullshit like “family” or being “all in”. I’m losing my job because the company I work for lost their contract with the facility I work in. However, we’re being hired on by the facility, directly, and they offered me $0.50 less than I’m currently making. I told them I just wanted to make when I’m making now, and they agreed to match. What they don’t know is that I originally told them I make $1/hour more than I actually do because I expected this to happen.",
"This hits home too well. Was working at a place and had one of the worst 2 months of my life, both of my grandparents died within a few days of eachother (they raised me), the stress caused me to have severe internal bleeding to the point of being hospitalized and getting blood put into me for 3 days straight (they never found the bleed and just sent me home), then on my literal birthday I got violently ill but still came back the day after my birthday so I wouldn't miss anymore work....Guess who got fired the day after their birthday?",
"Look at the state of that chord LOL",
"Fuck them. Your health comes first. I’ve just had the same operation you had but my knee wasn’t locked from the torn meniscus. It would just go every few months and put me in pain for a week or so (which I had to take off work as I couldn’t put any weight on it). Finally got private insurance through work and got it sorted (the NHS are brilliant though it’s just that with covid non emergency stuff just hasn’t been dealt with). I’m in the UK and work for a private hospital so got it done at work. The department I work on is short staffed but my sick note is for 4 weeks. I don’t give a shit what happens at work when I’m not there. That’s the managers problem and it’s their job to manage it. Another 2 weeks off in my pyjamas. Woop woop!",
"I hope you are healing ok. You will feel much better in the long run. Workplaces should account for loss of staff because of annual leave, illness or unforeseen absents. It's madness that the whole place will fall over if 1 staff member can't come in.",
"Thanks. It feels a bit weird at the moment like the muscles around it are tired so my walking pattern isn’t back to normal yet but I’m glad it’s done. It is daft that workplaces and managers don’t account for people being off/not hiring staff. It’s fine when everyone is in but as soon as 1 person is off then shit hits the fan.",
"While this guy might be joking, the world isn't. I had laser surgery on both eyes & my call centre boss expected me to come back to work (using a computer) the same day. She was not happy when I told her I'd be having at least the entire day of the procedure off, and possibly the next too. I eventually walked out on that job.",
"Obviously because your definition of “family” is different from their definition of “family.”\n\nYour definition might be “a tight unit that always helps each other no matter what”\n\nTheir definition might be “people who see each other all the time and have the same boss”",
"He’s an amazing actor\n\nSo skilled, to the point of realism",
"When did they claim to?",
"My first boss was like that (ice cream place). He and his wife wouldn't help a damn thing, but he'd watch his cameras at home (hi-tech back then) and call us and yell if he saw anyone not actively working. Didn't matter if there was no customers, you already cleaned everything, etc. \"If you have time to lean you have time to clean\" was his motto. So you ended up just cleaning the same tables over and over... What a grade a douchebag he was.",
"/r/antiwork",
"The comments in here are heart breaking. Because this is normalised and it shouldn't be. \n\nWhen someone is ill or needs surgery at my work in the UK we move heaven and earth to provide cover, make sure they are ok..empathy first, paperwork last. Different types of leave that are statutory, others that are manager led. But the loyalty and productivity we have is off the charts.",
"One of my close friends, who was also a coworker was murdered. The very next day I had to go to work a shift that she would normally be on. Needless to say moral was low and our productivity was low. The next day I go in and my boss starts laying into me about how everything wasn't perfect for the morning shift.\n\n When I mentioned the low moral and difficulty we were all going through trying to process our grief my boss completely blew me of. Her quote word for word was \"we all liked her, it's very sad. But that's no excuse to slack off at work. People die, get over it\". I knew she was a heartless bitch, but still I couldn't believe she would actually say this. Luckily she did get punished when I reported her. But only because I reported her to the client we work for instead of our own HR.",
"maybe they should take a demotion if the pay grade is too hard, they sit on their ass all day and complain about managing people at every job, theyre all selfish assholes who gaslight and scapegoat.",
"You guys don’t have paid sick leave in the US?",
"Things is, working this kind of job will probably make you a jaded asshole if you stay for too. The people who hate what they become quit and the sociopaths stay. \n\nIt's similar thing with law enforcement. Many people have reported that they couldn't continue being a cop, because of the way they started to see people.",
"you act like every supervisor is managing teenagers fresh out of highschool and that cops only respond to calls in the ghetto and get shot at everyday.\n\nyour white and black perspective is how i know you'd be a horrible supervisor, nobody cares about how you're jaded when everywhere people are covering 8 different positions because every place is working us to the point of exhaustion on skeleton crews, god forbid i lie when i call off though.",
"\"Brunt, FCA.\"",
"Honestly the walkie with no back cover is the cherry on top",
"Interesting combination of lack of empathy and obliviousness to how employees are being treated so they have to resort to lying to you.",
"I gave my old job my class schedule in college for them to schedule me around. I had a class from 2-3:15.\n\nThey scheduled me to stop working at 2 and come back at 3:15. When I told them that I can't teleport, they said I should just skip the class then. \n\nMy manager said that whenever he had a conflict between work and school he always chose work.\n\nWell that's why you're still working middle management at Lowe's, Rick.",
"Interesting, the person calling planning managers \"gaslighters and scapegoats\" is accusing someone else of having a black and white perspective.\n\n(side note: I don't work with managing stuff. I'm a warehouse worker. )",
"i've only had a few good supervisors over the years and they're always stressed to no ends because they value their workers respect over making quotas or defending policies that make no sense all the time.\n\nEvery single place with bureacratic managment follows the same path, skeleton crews, shitty supervisors and new departments of people who quit every 3 months. when all these places value bad ethics, it isn't a biased perspective to assume theyre all gas lighters and scapegoats.",
"Probably. Doesn't matter though. Labor laws are unenforced and irrelevant in the US work force. It's illegal to take overtime pay from one week and move it to the next week if you didn't work over 40 hours that next week to steal overtime pay from you during your 2 week pay/work period. Did that stop my old company from doing just that to their 300+ employees? Nope. No it did not. I've got 32 years of additional stories like this. Labor laws are enforced with about the same level of scrutiny as the cops who took my police report (when my house was broken into and car stolen with me having camera evidence of who did it) and shoved it up their asses",
"*\"At store 511 we are a family\"*",
"Unless you own the business OR you just happen to be the only person within 1000 miles who is qualified to repair incredibly niche and irreplaceable 60 year old machinery that keeps their business running",
"So you basically agree with me. Only the jaded people stick around in a job where you get shit on by everyone above you and everyone below you.",
"I just wanna say the acting in this video is so god damn on point. The speech patterns and little mannerisms in the boss is literally perfect.",
"why you think supervisors all require respect is beyond me, the job attracts manipulators and selfish people. You must've not worked in very many places.",
"America (work culture) is a living nightmare.",
"Thank you for the reminder to work on my resume today. I very much dislike my job like this",
"I remember a few years ago I slipped a fell between a trailer and a loading dock. Hurt myself pretty fuckin bad. \n\nWent to a clinic the next day and they examined me for about 15 seconds and told me I just had a bad bruise and I can go back to work, just put some ice on it or something. \n\nAbout three weeks later I was still experiencing piercing excruciating pain in my lower back while performing certain movements, as well muscle spasms. Work let me go back to the clinic again. This time they took an X-ray and told me I have a lumbar sprain. Take it easy and put some heat on it. \n\nA couple days later the clinic called me and said that the chief radiologist looked at my file and thinks I should come in for a CAT scan. So I went back a couple days later when they could get me in for an appointment, and I found out I had fractured the transverse processes of three of my lumbar vertebrae. \n\nAt that point it had already been four weeks, and the heal time for this injury is six weeks, so there wasn't much they could do for me. It's almost over now, just keep on going to work. \n\nNo big deal, I just went to work six days a week for six weeks with three broken bones in my back, because my employer didn't give enough of a shit about me to want to pay for an X-ray in the first place. Keep in mind that falling down into a loading dock and hurting your back is literally the single most common injury that truck drivers suffer. No big deal though, nobody was concerned about it in the least. \n\nAnyways I'm a pretty fuckin disgruntled blue collar motherfucker at this point. The concept of \"employer\" to me is a grey area between \"mortal enemy\" and \"the hand that feeds me.\" Basically every injury I've ever had in my life has been work-related.",
"My ass is at 4.5 points because the assholes don't take doctors notes and I didn't have any pto :/",
"\"We're a family, sometimes we all have to rope in and put in extra hours 🥰🥰😚😚\"\n\n\"Can I take a week off to go on a nice holiday and recharge my batteries?\"\n\n\"Wtf no lol we need you, fuck your psychological break from work\"",
"People with that attitude of \"undercutting\" their colleagues is what perpetuates such toxic work environments. If everyone stood up for themselves and treated work as a transaction - I work this many hours for this much money and you can't guilt-trip me into anything else and you can't manipulate me, employers would start treating their staff better.",
"That kind of organization requires unionization or something similar; that doesn’t exist in my field. And it has nothing to do with undercutting colleagues; I never interact with other professionals in my field when applying for jobs.",
"No it just requires people to wake up and realise they're being exploited. You don't need a union for that. Obviously, it will never happen because there's always those that want to step on others heads to get higher up but you don't need any formal organisation to establish a healthy employer/employee relationship.",
"I think we’re talking about two completely different things, but I’m not sure. I’m talking about applying for jobs in my field and getting paid a fraction of what a similarly skilled worker would’ve made before the 70s when outsourcing fucked our economy.",
"Same. I work for a great bunch of people. They look after me and I don’t hesitate to go above and beyond for them. \n\nRecently took Paternity Leave (It’s 2 weeks at ‘statutory pay’) and they gave me 2 weeks extra off on top, and paid full pay for the whole 4 weeks. Boss said, “family is the most important thing”. Got to love them.",
"True, but then employees don't really care about their employers profit margins either.\n\nHealthy employees are good, as are employers that are not insolvent.",
".........do they have a store that ISN'T wheelchair accessible...?",
"I was lucky enough to see the other side.\n\nCrashed my moped when I had a bar job and hurt my leg pretty bad. Nothing broken or bleeding but it was tough to walk around.\n\nTurned up for work three hours later and explained what happened to my boss, dude gave me four days paid vacation even though I was on an hourly contract and had only worked there 2 months.\n\nOnly decent boss I’ve ever had though.",
"Not so hasty, let him give you a pedicure first.",
"> Federal law does not require sick leave. \n> \n> \\- U.S. Department of Labor\n\nThere is no federal law requiring time off in the United States.

"I know this sounds bad but job market is really good right now. Even if you have to keep this job for now, as soon as you can try to find a job where they at least care if you live or die.",
"I was once hospitalized for food poisoning, on iv and fluids, it was bad. My manager still wanted me to come in. \n\nSo I did. \n\nBut all I could do was sit by the garbage and heave, trying to keep a fever down, and to not poop myself with diarrhea. \n\nI served food. Customers said I looked pale. They turned away. \n\nMy manager asked me why I came in.",
"I hate how every sentence is repeated 3 times",
"Fuck you Rick",
"Remember people HR don’t give a fuck about you they only they are the narcs and moles for the company. Never EVER trust any HR especially the larger corporations, I learned that the hard way. Their fake smiles and “free donuts and pizza” parties are a cover for how much they will fuck you in the ass when you complain about management bullying and abuse."

"Thanks, couldn't watch on Prime without an account.",
"I love so much about how this adaptation looks so far. I love how Moirane is being shown as the lead to start, I love how they are not immediately showing everyone who The Dragon Reborn is. \n\nI have such high hopes for this show. Fans of the books and anyone interested in the show should take the time to read the GQ article that just came out about it. It really shows that the show-runners here are trying to make a great and honest adaptation of this incredible series. \n\nhttps://www.gq.com/story/inside-amazons-wheel-of-time/amp",
"So is the first season based on the \"new spring\" prequel novel? And then they bring it all the way to the start of Eye of the world before the end of the season?",
"Supposedly the first season is going to mostly be Eye of the World, but I've heard there may be some bits of the second and third book as well and maybe a bit of New Spring for backstory. They can't make 14 seasons since the cast can't take a 15 year hiatus, and they'd be far too old by the end, so it will be condensed.",
"> 20 years ago the last Dragon was reborn, we don't know where or to whom.\n\n\"On the slopes of Dragonmount shall he be born,...\" — Karaethon Cycle.\n\nI feel like they're going to ruin the series by over dramatizing the start in the Two Rivers.",
"If I remember correctly, and it’s been a decade since I read it, but isn’t the first 3rd of the book almost exclusively about Rand, Perrin and Mat? I haven’t seen them anywhere in the trailer which is what has me worried. (Though, I am commenting on this without having watched this video. I’ll watch it after I post the comment).\n\nEven later in the book when they separate, the focus is still exclusively on Rand.\n\nEdit: ok, just watched. Though it wasn’t said out loud, I’m assuming the three males are Rand, Mat and Perrin.\n\nI’m still super excited for this series. But the lore of the Dragon Reborn is deeeeep. I hope they can do it justice. Especially explaining why he is so special with the ability to draw on the male half of the One Power.",
"All three of them are in all of the trailers that have come out so far. Rand is the tall red-haired one that has been featured prominently. Most of the focus has been on Moirane but they're there. Check the cast list and you'll recognize them if you rewatch the promos.",
"Hopefully the character development and particularly the depiction of female characters is not faithful at all because Jordan's writing was like something out of the 1950s.\n\nedit: \n\nFor anyone curious about what I mean: https://mythcreants.com/blog/six-sexist-themes-from-the-early-wheel-of-time-books/",
"It’s Rand.",
"Ehh, his portrayals are certainly flawed in moments, and could be better overall, but those moments are usually written from the perspective of characters who are flawed by design, and under-developed in their world view. I would never call him a shining example of female characterization but I also don't think it's nearly as problematic as many people make it out to be. It's a very progressive series in many ways, written by someone with clearly good intentions and somewhat flawed execution.",
"If anything it isn't criticized enough, as Robert Jordan has the most negatively stereotyped female characters of any fantasy series that I have ever read. Whether they're powerful or insignificant, Jordan wrote all of them to have essentially the same personality where they vacillated between berating the male characters or swooning over them. I came away from the series intensely curious about what real life females he interacted with to create such a one dimensional caricature of how women act.",
"Did any one see Lan? Other than that one shot of the guy looking away from the camera with the sword on his hip I couldnt tell who he was. I am guessing the frame at :07 seconds is Rand, Perrin and Mat in that order, but maybe its Rand, Mat and Perrin. I need to watch it to judge it fairly, but the casting is a bit strange from first look compared to what I pictured from reading the books.",
"They look a bit older than I feel they were in the beginning of the book series, it seems they are age 20 but even though its been a long time since I read Eye of the World I feel like they started younger than that in the books, like 16-17 years old. The main thing is they look older than 20 already in this trailer. I dont think it particularly matters, I mean GoT aged every character up like 5-7 or more years and pulled it off. Ned stark is supposed to be like 35 years old and obviously sean bean is older than 50 in GoT, but he is all I picture when I think of ned stark, even in the books.\n\nOh yea rand was 6'6\", i wonder if they are going to do a reverse hugh jackman wolverine and go with someone who is not a giant to play his character.",
"They definitely are older. Moirane says in this video the Dragon was born 20 years ago, so that places most of the characters right around or over 20.",
"You mean Lews Therin Telamon the kinslayer?",
"\"They ate a meal of bread and meat and cheese.\" \n\nThats like half of the series right there. I am a huge fan but its the truth.",
"Jordan wasnt an expert writer to begin with, it looks like the only other things he wrote before WoT were conan the barbarian stories, all things considered I think he did pretty good",
"Well like I said I certainly agree it's a major flaw, and I agree with your points. I don't think it's worse than a lot of it's contemporaries, especially in fantasy which sadly has that issue all too often. So many fantasy series (Name of the Wind always comes to mind) are guilty of being way too male centered and just using females as a plot device. From what I've seen the show will address that and will be better in that aspect.",
"I've heard very good things about the books, and this does look like its of decent quality. I'll for sure check it out since I have Prime for other reasons (mostly for The Expanse and The Boys) and I suspect I will enjoy it as well.\n\nHowever I've seen this compared often to Game of Thrones, and one thing I want to say is that the costume design is *no where close* to Game of Thrones. The outfits in this look a little too 'hollywood', and too clean. I saw a still of a bunch of guys in white armor, and not only did their outfits look way too modern and clean and perfect, but they all also had very modern hairstyles that wouldn't be possible in medieval times.\n\nAgain, not really a deal breaker, but it stood out to me when compared to Game of Thrones, which, despite it's later flaws, really did have exceptionally good costume design.",
"i completely agree. I read the first 5 books a million years ago and I still remember thinking Jordan didn't really know any women besides maybe his mother and a sister. David Eddings was the same.",
"the books are standard Fantasy. They were the ones that finally convinced me all Fantasy novels are the same and I quit the genre altogether. They're at the better end of the scale at least.",
"Without spoiling too much, Wheel of time isn't exactly Medieval as it looks at first glance it is rather somewhat Post-apocalyptic to a degree. 1000s of years ago There was a futuristic age more advanced than ours, that came to end When the bore or the Dark one's prison was accidentally drilled. As the line from the trailer indicates \"In the last age the Dark one was trapped by the Last Dragon at the cost of almost everything.\" Not going into spoiler territory but yeah a Major theme of the Show is the cyclical nature of time represented by the Wheel turning. Hope this explains why some of the customs have a retro-futuristic look to them or Maybe more resonance or victorian in design. Funnily enough, the Author was Nortiously famous for long detailed descriptions of dresses and clothing the characters wear. \n\n\nAlso to your point of it being compared to Game of Thrones, Their's actually Interesting connections between Game of Thrones and Wheel of time. George R. R. Martin is a big fan of the series and Close friend with Robert Joran the author. So their actually Several references to the wheel of time series in GoT GRRM also wrote fanfic about Wheel of time on his blog. I think he also thanked Robert Jordan for helping GOT's first book reach the fantasy audience by providing him with a Cover quote and Review. Wot in many ways set many of the standards and precedent for Modern fantasy. Before WoT it was mostly just Lotr clones, type quest fantasy with clearcut good and bad side with no shades of grey. So I'm very excited for what many called the \"Unadaptable series\" to finally be properly made. Hope you live and enjoy it too.",
"Just pirate",
"Y’all I just don’t know. I. Don’t. Know. This has Eragon written all over it. If I weren’t a fan of the book I’d say that was stupid AF. I am a fan of the books and they’re rushing the shit out of this and it’s just not gunna work. No way. It’s goin down. For real.",
"| I feel like they’re going to ruin the series by:\n\nTrying to do this to begin with.",
"That wasn't really my general experience. I agree his female characters tended to be one dimensional, and particularly the primary female leads were all similar characters, but there were a lot of female characters in the book and they didn't all share this same common trait. They were all relatively mono dimensional, but not identical to each other.\n\nMeanwhile the three male leads were similarly pretty one dimensional. Rand, Matt, Perrin, Lan, Thom all basically had one or two descriptive features each.\n\nI don't know, I just think his characters were shallow, regardless of gender",
"Agreed, they’re schlock.",
"A lot of people use that excuse as a defense but it's really not true. Rand, Mat, and Perrin can't be confused with one another as they each have distinct personalities whereas the female characters (*with some notable exceptions like Moiraine*) do the same things and act the same way to the point that if you removed the names from the descriptions you would not be able to say which female character it was describing. \n\nIt's pretty blatant through every aspect of Jordan's writing, to the point that women master the One Power by surrendering to it while men master it by dominating it. I'm generally not one to look for gender politics in books, as I prefer the escapism to get away from real life issues, but it was so pervasive and so blatant that it kept annoying me.",
"If you read those books and came out thinking Elayne, Egwene, and Nynaeve all had the same personality then i don't know what to say. \n\nI'd say the problem is with you, not Robert Jordan.",
"You're a fan so you're going to pretend that I'm wrong, but *many* people have made this complaint about the series and provided voluminous evidence to argue the point.",
"I agree the gender politics about dominating vs surrendering is there. I think we are making the same point. His portrayal of men as dominating is just as cringey as his portrayal of women as surrendering. His take on gender streotypes and character is clumsey across the board.",
"Game of thrones is a much darker series, and leans heavily into grittiness. WoT arguably has a more complex world, but is a brighter and more \"high fantasy\" setting. If you loved everything about GoT, it is questionable if WoT will be your thing.\n\nI have read the WoT series 3-4 times, which is a stupid amount of reading. I struggled after a few books of GoT because I started to get the impression Martin was leaning to hard into the gimmick of having the worst possible thing happen to every character, all the time. Only my personal take.\n\nWoT has its own issues in writing (a huge understatement in some people's opinion), but they didn't wear on me for the first few books.",
"I really wish I could disagree. Even trimming out a bunch of the silly stuff in the series it would still be a massively expensive, high production, 5 season minimum to have a chance of doing the series justice. First season would have to hit like GoT to even have a chance. Not enough gratuitous and shocking sex to hook the public into the characters and story.",
"Nyneave is a great and unique character.",
"They mean the trailer, no need to pirate, this post is literally the trailer",
"hopefully Moiraine doesn't get side tracked looking for collectables or XP grinding",
"i'm really excited for this. the wheel of time series is FUCKING DENSE and god damn massive. so i've never really taken the plunge to reading it. so having it in a tv show format is perfect for me!",
"Something I really like about the WoT series is that it answers a question I've had about high fantasy settings for a while. If magic is so pervasive, why do people still live with medieval-level tools? Why are there stonecutters, millers etc.? Why don't they use magic a lot more, for construction for example? Well, in that futuristic age, the people in WoT _did_.",
"I'd say this is just a terrible trailer. I know it's supposed to introduce people into the show but it does what a lot of bad shows/movies do it assumes the audience is dumb. It's literally telling you everything like you would a child.",
"Game of Thrones is darker in that it's way more explicit about what happens but Wheel of Time ain't exactly for kids eithers. In fact terrible things happen in WoT but it mentions it briefly and moves on.",
"I don't know anything about it and it felt like such a massive fantasy dump, I thought it was a parody of fantasy tropes. It's hard to take it serious atm.",
"Even the music was similar.",
">I started to get the impression Martin was leaning to hard into the gimmick of having the worst possible thing happen to every character, all the time\n\nSometimes it feels like that, but I think it has more to do with him being a natural cynic and trying to write a story that's \"realistic\" in his mind. Most authors will avoid subjects like rape and child murder but these things happened in the middle ages all the time, and still happen pretty frequently today. GRRM doesn't really give his characters plot armor or exceptional luck so sadly you see a lot of terrible shit happening to people that don't deserve it, just like real life.",
"get hypeeee!",
"We are definitely not making the same point. While all of Jordan's characters are simplistic, the male depictions are not problematic or demeaning yet the female depictions are.",
"You're welcome to say what is demeaning or problematic to you. But other people get to say what is demeaning or problematic to them. As a guy I find the stereotype that men should dominate and fight rather problematic.\n\nI guess my thought that we were making the same was more about how we share a point of view about our genders being stereotypes so long as we can accept each other's views as valid.",
"It is not even remotely close to saying that women should be submissive and if you genuinely do not realize how your attempts to equate them are completely tone deaf, then I encourage you to read about the effects of stereotyped sexism in media along with specifically how women have complained about the depiction of female characters in the Wheel of Time.",
"I think you're equating my criticism of his portrayal of male stereotypes with dismissing his stereotyping of women. I'm not, and I'm sorry if I'm coming across that way. \n\nI do think it is important to recognize harm that male stereotypes do to men. You may feel the surrendering stereotype is more harmful to women and I respect that. I think it is harmful, I'm not saying one is more or less. Only identifying that these patriarchical ideas hurt people both genders even if the specific boxes they put them in are different",
"[This](https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/E9puSJlVkAkHTJ7.jpg) might help. Only complaint I have is that Perrin is taller than Rand, but realistically I understand it might be hard to find a guy who is physically huge and intimidating without also being tall.",
"Look for the Winespring Inn teaser. Lan announces himself.",
"With the White Armor knights... that's their thing. Perfection. They are SUPPOSED to look immaculate, especially compared to the rabble around them. \n\nAlso, this is NOT Medieval era. The clothing and hairstyles (even skin color) will be VERY diverse in this world and this has a reason and purpose in the books. \n\nNot too much of a spoiler considering Moiraine said it in the trailer... and it makes sense when you think on it: >!The Dark One almost destroyed the world once... consider this show to be Post-Apocalyptic, just thousands of years later instead of a few years later like most Post-Apocalyptic shows like Walking Dead. So this would explain your modern hairstyles...!<\n\nI don't know how quickly the show will demonstrate this fact compared to the books though, so I hid it with a spoiler tag just in case. Not a show ruining spoiler... but I figure be safe just in case people get mad at me revealing info.",
"As someone who has no investment in the books, this looks visually uninspiring. Other than the cloaked monster with the sharp teeth this show looks like something I would just pass by on the CW."

The second time it was only the chemical smell, no fart smell at all, and if you didn't know they were farts then yeah the first thought would've been a chemical leak. So I can believe the story. The second time also resulted in appendectomy. Worst pains I've had in my life.",

"It was a full blank fired with a squib round stuck in the barrel. Squibs happen when there is a primer but no (or very little) powder in the casing. The undercharged bullet doesn' have nearly enough energy and gets stuck in the barrel. If you were to fire a live round with a bullet stuck in the barrel, the force is so great that the gun essentially blows up in your hand. The force of the gun blowing up and the sheard metal causes massive injury to the shooter and possibly those around them. If you were to fire a fully loaded blank with a bullet stuck in the barrel, its very likely the bullet exits the barrel with somewhere between 50 to 80% of its original velocity, *especially if the original powder from live ammunition was used to make the blank.*",

Movies take into no consideration of bullet penetration of anything, ammo count, suppressors, actual sound of from firing supersonic vs subsonic. Amazing that Hollywood is in the US and US has so many guns easily accessible and yet nobody in Hollywood seems to have ever handled a gun or let alone shot from one. It is kinda like medieval movies screw up all the battlescenes with their nonsensical weapon & armor choices as if it is just all purely random and put to together by an idiot.\n\nAs it stands now, realism has very little to do with movie business.",

"Imma jump in here with zero knowledge of actor and actress firearm protocol in movie scenes, but I will interject with common firearm safety. Regardless of what anyone told you about a gun just handed to you, the first thing you do is keep it pointed away from others and empty the ammo(drop the clip, open the cylinder, clear the chamber, etc). You ensure the weapon is free of ammunition. Then proceed from that knowledge of an empty gun. Why don't all the actors/actresses do this in these types of scenes? They could visually see the prop ammo loaded as needed per scene. I don't understand why this isn't already standard.",

For a revolver I am not sure, but probably with a mirror, a fiber optic device, or just run a rod through it. The reason you never look down the front of the barrel is that you never want to establish that in your mind as something that can be done, you want the habit established where that's something you never do so then you'd never screw up and do it without thinking.\n\nOnce at a range I used to go through this idiot ruined his barrel because he had a squib fire (like a misfire, but the bullet moves into the barrel) didn't check the barrel then fired another round. This same guy also once had a hang fire and instead of waiting like you should he took the bullet out by hand and it went off with him holding it.

Basic gun safety dictates that he be sure of what he is holding. Hollywood’s habit of actors lazily relying on someone else for this basic safety does not excuse them. ANY INDIVIDUAL that handle a gun should only do so if they understand its function and can competently insure its safety. There is no excuse for mishandling a firearm.",

The weapons had stand-ins and nobody except for the stunt coordinator, the props master, and the actor handling the guns in the scene could even touch the weapons. I believe because of the Brandon Lee incident, each gun had a sort of stopper that when all the way through the barrel to show it was empty.\n\nThis movie didn't use blanks. Nothing was ever loaded in to the guns but they were treated as though they were loaded. Everything would come to a screeching halt once guns had to come out on set and everyone was dead silent during the safety demonstration.\n\nIt was really great and I'm glad those two dudes took safety so seriously.",

"I've still never understood why people need to point the gun **right at someone** in a movie unless the camera angle is behind the barrel. We settle for entertainment punches that don't even land...no audience will ever notice that a gun was 2 degrees off to the left or right from any other angle. The primary rule of gun safety still applies. Don't ever point a gun at something you don't intend to destroy. Hard and fast. And if you need that down the barrel scene, use a replica without even the capability to hold real bullets, and then green screen the real one or whatever, but god damn people are stupid is the point. Your movie doesn't need to be so accurate that you point your prop guns at someone's center mass. Just fucking stupid.",

I know the rule about never pointing. It's a movie. It's fake. You're pretending, and you HAVE to point the object at someone as a part of your job.

The CRNA said it was one of the bloodiest operating rooms he’s ever seen.",
"Born as something else, but always been how they identify.

That’s a pretty small percentage too.",
"\"A pop and no kick\"\n\nI went to Army basic training in 2008. SSG DeBourbon gave us the class on \"pop and no kick\".

Sleep deprived height-of-the-surge-waiver-laden basic trainees can learn this shit but Alec fucking Baldwin, who, by the way, is the executive producer of this film that union crew had already walked off of, didn't know how to clear a fucking gun handed to him by a non-union 24 year old intern? \n\nFuck all of these people. You know how many negligent discharges it would've taken me to literally be fired from active duty in the Army? 1. This movie had 3 in one day. And then a 4th the next day, and the bullet hit 2 people. \n\nThis is honestly just negligent homicide.",
"It really is just basic fucking respect. And tell me, what percentage does get to dictate the rules for that 2%? I’m not gender fluid or trans but I know that I don’t get to dictate the rules for other people who aren’t hurting anyone. And you sure as shit don’t either. I may not understand it, I may even mess up, but damn, it’s really not hard to make an effort.",

"damn, that is one of the most heartbreaking things I've watched in a while.",
"Had they check the weapon after and before firing Brandon Lee would of still been alive and Alec Baldwin crew member. Military that was number one rule check re check in basic training always act like it's still capable to kill you",
"Anyone know the actor the pulled the trigger? Was an just an extra that was playing a henchman or an actual cast member? The Crow was big back in the day and if Lee didn’t die the franchise would’ve been huge. Sadly all the Crow films after were garbage.",
"Sounds to me like this is more of a Solved Mystery",
"You missed out. Retelling stories is what made childhood fun. Horror movies were much scarier than the real thing, urban legends spread like wildfire.",
"Like I tried to say, if there's a strict process created to do that leaves the rounds easier identified it because you can't buy them, that seems fine to me. The video seemed to describe that it just was done mostly unplanned because someone forgot to buy them, it's the lack of responsible planning and process that I was shocked at.",
"Everyone seems to want to \"pin the blame\" on a single person.\n\nThe reality is: *multiple* people fucked up, and made reckless decisions without proper regard for safety. *Multiple* people should be charged and convicted.\n\nAnd I'm somewhat including Alec Baldwin. I understand that the current practice in movies is to not allow the actors to examine the weapons, for some \"reduced liability\" bullshit. If you handle a gun, it is your responsibility to make sure that it's safe (or pointed in a safe direction) before getting your finger anywhere near the trigger, or before handing it to someone else. If you don't know how to tell that it's safe, you need to ask an expert to show you that it is.",

"I actually liked Rapid Fire. I thought it was a fun action movie and pretty underrated in my opinion. I had read that there were even plans for a sequel.",
"I’m referring to black people in the US specifically. \n\nAnd I don’t think it is. I’m asking a relatively equivalent question about minorities and rules. Go ahead and deflect instead of answering the question though.\n\nRegardless, just say you’re transphobic and fuck off. I’m done with you.",
"Actually I do too, in a 90s sort of way. The action was top notch. The plot, not so much.",
"I think you misread my post. The **camera crew** were union, not the armorer checking the guns. The union **camera crew** walked off set due to gun safety issues (3 \"cold guns\" discharging). The crew they were replaced with were not union, meaning union protections for workplace safety were no longer required. This new crew also did not know of the 3 previous \"accidental\" discharges. \n\nThe same armorer is responsible for all 4 \"accidental\" discharge incidents. FWIW, i don't think she was union either.",

"Lol, and I'm a squid with a yamaka. You're a broke bitch.",
"Naa.... it's pretty fucking obvious that the projectile must be located somewhere \"down-barrel\" from the energy supply. \n\nThat's just basic common sense--assuming there's no second shooter on the grassy knoll who just happened to perfectly time his shot with the actual blank.",

"You open the action and look up through the chamber. It is best done holding it up to a light or bright sky so you can see light coming down the barrel.

"Just your normal every day dude with a wooden UFO. Nothing sketchy about that. Took off in the 90s sounded like. Must have been some trip. I think that guy might go on a lot of trips.",
"I feel as if he has been on a couple extended trips. He was the nicest guy though. We were on our way back from a trip, I usually try and find roadside attractions and this popped up. I ended up googling the guy and he is known for hanging out with prostitutes and at one point he ran from mayor. Really weird. \n\nSo when you walked around upstairs you could feel the whole top shifting. It's pretty damn high up. Let's not forget the multitude of way you could be electrocuted. It was indeed sketchy. \n\nJust thought I would share.\n\nEdit: I never thought to share the video before. I made it just to show a couple friends. It was never meant for mass consumption.",
"> he is known for hanging out with prostitutes and at one point he ran from mayor\n\nSo a normal politician it would seem",
"Oh man all those outlets and power strips lol and was that an A/C up there? Bravo to you man for going all the way up there haha",

"North Carolina? I swear this is exactly like a place I passed In South Carolina. What is going on in the Carolinas?",
"This is in Bowman SC, Op has wrong state.",

"Dude were you barefoot in there??",
"Lol. No I had on flip flops. I promise I had no idea what I was getting into.",
"Nobody was home when I came through here last year. Would loved to have talked to the guy, but just being around the thing was awesome enough. Highly recommended if you're in the area!",
"It was quite the surprise that's for sure. He was outside doing stuff when we pulled up. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. It was a pretty awesome."

"His nose looks like a stubby pens and balls",
"It’s a great scene. It’s not anywhere close to the best scene. And picking the best scene would be insanely difficult.",
"The actors are doing a great job. And the writing is indeed strong. But the message itself is really questionable. The West Wing for all it's praise used strongly written monologues to cosign many abhorrent neoconservative policies. Look at many of the politicians and journalists that were influenced by the show, look at their support for some of the current forever wars and it's hard not to think that this brilliantly written show was a net negative to the world.",
"That scene from \"Two Cathedrals\" has gotta be in the top two.",
"Cruciatus in Crucem. Eas in Crucem.",
"The scene where he [curses at God in Latin](https://youtu.be/fYcMk3AJKLk), or the scene where he's [talking to a ghost](https://youtu.be/wPsFN4r6lfA), or right at the end with \"Brothers in Arms\" playing?\n\n(Those last two run together. But annoyingly I couldn't find the whole \"Brothers in Arms\" scene on YouTube.)",
"> The West Wing for all it's praise used strongly written monologues to cosign many abhorrent neoconservative policies.\n\nThat word... I do not think it means what you think it means.",
"Apparently Aaron Sorkin doesn't realize that the English slaughtered their prisoners at Agincourt.",
"Well shit. I can’t disagree with that!!!\n\nCaesar’s wife must be beyond reproach. She was just going to check out her new car. Didn’t even get the tow package.",
"I love you both for geeking out on The West Wing with me.",
"I used to love The West Wing and The Newsroom, but revisiting they just feel.... hollow? Like Sorkin writes the monologues first and then just works characters, situations, plots, etc. around them instead of writing solid stories and letting monologues come naturally. Also the politics are often... not great.",
"he's actually a terrible writer when you slow it down and look at it. terribly sexist and racist, and his politics are so right wing. the chicago seven was so bad, the actual news coverage is more interesting. i highly recommend the west wing thing podcast, its screenwriters who are progressives analyzing the show.",
"Ohh I might have to check that out!",
"I was thinking of the first one, but yeah, it's hard to pick a 'best scene' out of that episode alone. It's like one long best scene.",
"My favorite part of the \"Brothers in Arms\" sequence? The President not taking his coat from Charlie, and Charlie then removing his own coat in solidarity. Solid.",
">The President not taking his coat from Charlie, and Charlie then removing his own coat in solidarity. Solid.\n\nThat was a fantastic example of literary character building. And they don't beat you over the head with it - it was a small, outwardly-inconsequential thing that perfectly jived with and built on Charlie, as a character. Brilliant.",
"Probably not, I wrote it super tired but hopefully you get my intention?",
"As a Brit the West Wing watches almost like a satire of American exceptionalism and nationalism. However it's very obviously completely sincere.",
"100% disagree that he’s a terrible writer, but it’s completely subjective. His monologues first approach is his style and it provides very interesting viewpoints that many other stories don’t approach (or not into that depth). Sure characters don’t actually sound like that, but that’s style. His stories are always solid though. He’s one the few writers that completely elevates stories via his writings. He’s taken a boring courtroom movie and turned into an edge of your seat exciting ride. He took the creation of a tech company and turned into a deep look of value of friendship. He took episodic political show and made it a debate on ethics and perspective."

"Pretty sure you don't have to be a professional singer to judge whether or not you think a singer is not very good. He's most definitely way above average but he's also most definitely way below great. It's subjective but opinions on singing are pretty universal to a degree so it's a safe bet to say he's only just pretty good.",

In the case of helping people less fortunate individuals want to feel like they're helping people live a better life but the perception I and many others have for the homeless is that they rather live out in the streets then live the type of life we live as far as holding down a job and staying off drugs. From a very early age I was told by my mom to not give money to the homeless because they'll just spend it on beer or drugs. Although my mom is from Mexico so maybe things are different there but I don't know. I just know If I really wanted to make a difference my dollar would be best spent somewhere else.

"I think you’re probably a little biased. They sound alright for the most part. He has a unique sound, which fits old time rock and roll really well, but doesn’t seem to be a great singer. I could be wrong, but he tends to miss the notes a bit too, when he tries to sing more melodically.\n\nThat being said he does seem talented, and have a unique voice. But he might have done better focusing on styles that suited his vocal style, and maybe Spanish songs so it didn’t sound like he was mumbling. RIP to the guy who clearly had a lot of passion.",
"How does this story specifically prove that?\n\nActually, the dude went back to being busking (doesn’t mention if he was homeless again in the title) even after winning the competition, so wouldn’t that mean entertainment value has no bearing on help he receives?",

"> Stop trying so hard lmfao\n\nYou should take the same advice.",
"Honestly, to me he's just got an \"old-timey\" voice and poor pronunciation. I don't know if it's because his English is bad, or what, but it really just ruins the songs for me.",

"Not bad...",
">then going on tour seems like a pretty damn solid plan. It's hardly putting the money \"in a slot machine.\" It didn't work out\n\nAre you listening to yourself, lol. It was literally putting in a slot machine hoping the tour worked. And it didn't. If it is hardly. \"gambling\" why is he back on the streets.\n\n>50 grand in dollars. That is not enough to guarantee no more being homeless\n\nLol. \n\n1 touch grass, 50k is more than enough to garuntee you stop being homeless and 2, 1 mil isn't actually the amount he won.",
"No, I am not listening to myself. Are you reading any of this? When someone wins a national singing contest, organizing a tour afterward is a pretty normal idea. It is in no way akin to putting money in a slot machine where the odds are against you. Obviously it didn't work, nothing is guaranteed, that doesn't make it the same as gambling. I'm really shocked this isn't obvious to you.\n\nAs for the amount he won, I don't know, I'm not from Mexico, I didn't see the show, haven't heard of this guy. All I'm really saying is that going on tour after winning a music competition is a very normal idea. He must have tried to work with some shady people, or maybe he misjudged his fame and booked venues that were too big, I don't know. It's just not some crazy idea though.",
"I just see most stories with a homeless person being helped out is usually due to the person having a talent that is used for views on youtube or to be put on a show like Ellen or something."

"For as good as Martin Freeman is, the short is the better one to watch because the core concept is something that really only has a limited amount of traction and works way better spread over 7 minutes than it does spread over 1hr 45m.\n\nWith the film they added a whole bunch of extra stuff which understandably they needed to do but the end result really downplayed the greatness of the fathers plan in the short because the infection takes so much longer to take hold giving him way more time to think and get the kid to safety. The father in the short has almost no time to think and comes up with the carrot and stick method on the fly.",

Kanye was a top 5 rapper in sales all time and practically got cancelled for supporting Trump (not doing as he is told as a black person). Now a black rapper has the #1 downloaded song on iTunes while he is supporting Trump. There’s a whole MAGA rap movement with black and white rappers. \n\nLiberals and the left overplayed their hands with cancel culture and this ridiculously oppressive transsexual movement where idiots are protesting a comedian who has made fun of every race and group and no one cried until now. People associate cancel culture with the left. It is getting so old listening to these cry babies that can’t take a joke. People used to make race based jokes all of the time and no one cried. White people, black people, all people are tired of the political correctness and crying and the perception is it’s all from the left. \n\nMost working class black people who can’t afford to move to suburbia yet don’t want police defunded. They see these idiot wealthy white liberals on TV talking about defunding the police in neighborhoods where black children are murdered daily. It’s insane. These white people don’t live there. They think they know what’s best for black people like they can’t speak for themselves. \n\nIf you don’t see the culture shift you aren’t paying attention. And honestly I believe most people aren’t. The change coming is going to blow your mind. Trust me. People like Candace Owens is mocked right now (again for not doing as she is told as a black person) but there seems to be a new Candace popping up every day. \n\nhttps://www.amnews.com/2020/02/17/black-voters-are-leaving-democratic-party/",

Or Hermain “I am free and am not wearing a mask” (Shit I died of Covid) Cane?\n\nCancel culture… another right wing cry baby slogan for people putting money where they purchase. Cry me a river that you lose your job for being a dumb ass. Remember what momma use to say? “If you don’t have anything nice to say then shit the fuck up” but no, your people love to scream and get loud and then cry when the hammer drops…\n“I got canceled” pussy.",

"Haha, go back to your safe place /r/conservative. Must be nice to have an echo chamber that won’t call your bullshit “Kanye” proof.",
"Keep digging for the most extreme examples. That’s called missing the forest from the trees. 😂 don’t look at the 12% black vote for Trump in 2020. Don’t look at the largest amount of new registered Republicans ever. Just keep talking about the MyPillow guy. It’ll be productive. 😂",

"Nah, I am on the dumber side of things. Proof is I still try to engage with idiots thinking they are the Governor of Pa or something in their moms basement. The smarter ones clue in faster that it is futile.",
"Fuck you punk ass POS. You are a self hating anti American commie low life scum. We don't disagree on the issues. Your a please of shit.",

"Are they including the annual carbon cycle in the calcs .... deducting that from stored carbon and then concluding that the mature forests sequester more carbon?\n\nI dont get it... that doesnt make any sense to me. The carbon in mature forests is stored... past tense. The annual photosynthetic capture will be greater in mature forests... but the annual respiration release will be correspondingly greater too.\n\nThe difference is the body of the plants; so surely capture goes through a bell shaped curve?\n\nI would like to see what they were doing to the soils such that respiration>photosynthesis in the new growth areas. Every ecology except dessert somehow manages to build soils!",
"What I got from the video was the amount of soil that is open to the atmosphere but I'm not sure what you mean by past tense in mature forests, mature forests might not be the right wording, older might be be better.\n\n>“Even though on an individual leaf scale their productivity might be declining slightly, they just have so many more leaves that the net effect is that they’re able to fix more carbon in total than a small tree,” said Stephenson, a scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey’s Western Ecological Research Center in Three Rivers, Calif.\n\nhttps://www.pacificforest.org/ee-old-trees-store-more-carbon-more-quickly-than-younger-trees/#:~:text=A%20separate%20study%20in%20the%20New%20Phytologist%20last,allow%20for%20pollen%20to%20disperse%20over%20greater%20distances.\n\nA soil that is covered means less die off of the organisms in it during the seasons and a hundred ton tree might absorb a smaller percentage but overall the tonnage would be higher than a twenty ton tree.",
"By past tense i mean the carbon is sequestered already in the lignin of the body of the tree. You fell that mature tree, you still have that lignin (wood) and a new tree can be planted in its place.\n\nThe quote about leafs seems to confirm my suspicion: \"...they just have so many more leaves that the net effect is that they’re able to fix more carbon in total than a small tree...\". What?! leaves are irrelevant on climatic timescales... they grow, drop and are metabolised on a near annual basis. Its the lignin that counts... used in construction or left in a mature tree it can last hundreds or thousands of years. Mature trees do not add lignin at the same growing ones do unless managed through pollarding etc.\n\nSoil is not naturally \"open to the atmosphere\"... even in grasslands where trees cant grow. If they are comparing carbon release from undisturbed forest floor to ploughed/bare soil prepared like modern agriculture then this a false comparison... an answer looking for which they found a question.\n\nYour second two bits double down on the leaf mass as being \"stored\" or something the tree might \"absorb\". This is the point which i think is way off: leaves last at most a handful of years, most drop annually, and are metabolised almost immediately. \n\nIf im missunderstanding it hinges on this: Why is leaf mass relevant to carbon sequestration long term?",
"> By past tense i mean the carbon is sequestered already in the lignin of the body of the tree. You fell that mature tree, you still have that lignin (wood) and a new tree can be planted in its place.\n\nA new tree of 2kg can put on a 100% of it's body weight whereas a 100 ton tree can put on 10% and still absorb more carbon.\n\nI don't understand your point about suspicion, it comes down to area that can absorb carbon, the more of it the more can be absorbed.\n\nThe more mass that can utilise radiation to turn carbon from the atmosphere into carbon stored in the tree and the point is which tree's, you somehow think they are annuals not evergreens like pine or something like the Amazon, not sure where you got that \"most\" are annuals?\n\n20 year forestry that get's logged emits a huge amount from the soil that old growth never would, all the carbon that is absorbed is lost, this is the problem with forestry as a green product that doesn't ;ast more than a couple of decades.",
"\"A new tree of 2kg can put on a 100% of it's body weight whereas a 100 ton tree can put on 10% and still absorb more carbon.\" ...\n\n\"The more mass that can utilise radiation\"...\n\nIts not mass that utilises radiation... its surface area, a few mm deep. That big tree takes up more surface area. If it were more smaller trees or plants with the same surface are the photosynthesis would be (very roughly) the same. The proportion of growth given to woody growth will be higher in smaller trees.\n\nAll the soil should be covered with something green and photosynthesising... it certainly would be in a clearing made by a fallen tree in a forest: undergrowth would go crazy until seedling trees popped through it in sucession.\n\nEvergreen tree does not mean leaves last forever. Handful of years at most. Somewhere like the amazon they decompose in days when they fall in warm humid conditions. Somewhere like boreal forests they take longer... because the temperatures are so low. Growth is correspondingly slow. However, walk through an evergreen pine forest and tell me what you see on the ground... ..pine needles. \nSo i guess i remain skeptical, because this failed to answer the question posed at the end of my last comment.\n\nYour last c sums it up: the comparison appears to between mature forests including the leaf mass, against *commercial logging plantations. (*side point is you need to balance impact of other building materials against this)\n\nAnd the conclusion being drawn is that old growth forests sequester more than new. I think thats playing fast and loose with the term sequester, and equating extractive farming to 'new forest'.\n\n\"all the carbon that is absorbed is lost...\" no, it isnt. Its in the body of the tree... the loss from the soil is relative to the techniques we use. Please understand im not advocating logging of old growth forest.\n\nTimber lasts a very long time if you keep it dry... much more than a couple of decades.",
">Its not mass that utilises radiation... its surface area, a few mm deep.\n\nAre you talking soil carbon or carbon above the ground * one large tree that is 100 feet tall in one space is going to have more surface area than three or four young tree's ten feet tall in the same area as they have to be spaced out to compensate for future growth.\n\nI don't think you are understanding the point.\n\nSoil carbon is going to be better contained when it has coverage, young tree's are going to have more space between them and less overall coverage of the ground.\n\nEvergreens do mean ever green, it's not like a loss completely, you seem to be trying to find reasons to explain your position rather than taking the video at its face value of leaving old growth forests alone and you aren't covering soil carbon loss.\n\nI'm just not sure what it is that you are confused about as far as the video is concerned, larger tree's absorb more carbon and leave more in the soil, it's not fast and loose with anything.",
"You said \"mass\" was leading to more utilisation of radiation, and i pointed out that its surface area doing photosynthesis.\n\nYou can plant trees close together and thin them: closer they are the smaller each one ultimately gets... but the system exploits all the sunlight it can.\n\nI agreed with you that soil should never be exposed... which is why clearfelling in commercial logging operations is a stupid comparison to lable 'new growth forest'.\n\nEvergreens remain green but each individual leaf drops on the regular and goes through the carbon cycle.\n\nSo my point is that counting leaf mass as 'sequestered' is rubbish... once the canopy is full you can fell trees... and logging operations are not a reasonable comparison (thats a factory farmed monoculture crop).\n\nI didnt take the research at face value because it appears to disregard the carbon cycle beyond *one year*.\n\nEdit: really i was hoping someone might point out what ive missed: surely rate of increase in weight of carbon stored in lignin is the key metric.",
"Planting tree's closer to together or thinning branches isn't going to increase the mass (or surface area's) of the leaves, a 2kg tree is going to have a lot less surface area of leaf than a 100kg tree.\n\nAn evergreen is still continuously absorbing carbon into the mass of the tree and the ground, how it this disregarding the carbon cycle, as your edit says and what I have been trying to explain to you a 100kg tree doesn't need to absorb the same percentage of carbon to be more effective.\n\n\"So my point is that counting leaf mass as 'sequestered' is rubbish\" You're the one that said it was sequestered, past tense....\"The carbon in mature forests is stored... past tense\" that's not true if they are still living but the tonnage of carbon is higher, I'm not sure what you are thinking here.\n\nWho is doing this? They or myself aren't..\n\nThe reality is forestry, which does clear cut is cutting down tree's, the point was clear felling and replanting might not be the way to go.\n\nhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-01/cutting-down-trees-can-help-save-climate-in-forest-industry-math\n\n* Maybe the 100 kg part is the confusing part of what I am saying because I'm confused on your thinking, maybe if it were 1000kg and the comparison was it took five years for 50 tree's to reach 20kg's, the one tree that doesn't get logged is still going to absorb more carbon, saying we can just replant and old growth still gets logged seems to ignore so much.",
"Look mass isnt surface area: yes a big tree is bigger... but you can have more smaller trees... and the undergrowth explodes too: im concerned with what is greatest rate of photosynthesis creating >woody lignin< type growth (branches, specifically not leaves).\n\nBecause the evergreen refers to leaves: leaves last one year and at most 5 and are then metabolised in one to few years. In Boreal forest grow slow and tropical forests they rot fast. They cycle quickly in the carbon cycle so my point is still *why is leaf mass relevant to carbon capture.\n\nI went looking for the paper, but all i can find is editorials like the one you found: there are lots and they all have same text and i cant find the paper in nature.\n\nThe editorials say that the older a tree get the faster they put on weight, which supports the videos statement... but i think they are including the significant mass of the leaf growth each year (if so i think thats a mistake from a sequestration perspective), and i think the comparison they are making is to a clear felled logging operation (if so thats not a reasonable comparison to understand young vs old due to factory farming practices).\n\nI want to read the methodology to understand. \"Who is doing this? They or myself aren't..\" can you confirm that because thats what i think they are doing but couldnt find the actual paper.\n\n\"The reality is forestry, which does clear cut is cutting down tree's, the point was clear felling and replanting might not be the way to go.\" If they must use a logging operation as a comparison they have to include the stored dry mass of the lumber produced and deduct the carbon emmissions needed to produce equivalent material not made by photosynthesis.\n\nIf a single large tree goes from 1000kg to 1100kg in a year (not including leaf mass)... but in a similar year twenty new trees in the same area can go from 0-100kg (of wood) we have 'sequestered' the same amount of carbon. You may have also felled that big tree to do so and youve 'banked', in lumber, 1000kg.\n\nA year later you still have the 1000kg lumber... and the twenty new trees go from 100-300kg. Maybey next year we thin them... etc. \n\nI need to see the methodology: my understanding was that tree growth (of the woody body of the tree) was fastest for the first 15-50 years (species and climate varies this widely)... and then the rate steadily declines.",
"It's not what I meant, the mass is directly correlated to the surface area though, it's not rocket science that a taller* wider * tree is going to be able to collect more light.\n\nThe carbon on a covered forest floor isn't all lost to the atmosphere, you are ignoring what open ground means and I think you are making assumptions about what they think, I don't know why you are caught up on leaf mass, as a percentage of a 1000kg tree how much do you think it is?\n\n\nYes as I said they may grow faster but what are you defining as speed, 100% mass for a 1kg tree is not the same as 10% for a 1000 kg tree and these were just examples to explain it to you, are you defining height, a fast tree could grow 3 feet a year, a slow one 1 foot a year, a high strocking rate is going to half the %, these people have 3% as a growth rate.\n\nhttp://forestresearchgroup.com/Newsletters/V2No3.pdf\n\nAt the moment I'm still confused on the issue you have if you can't do your own research I can't explain it any clearer to you.\n\n> my understanding was that tree growth (of the woody body of the tree) was fastest for the first 15-50 years (species and climate varies this widely)... and then the rate steadily declines.\n\nYes this is true and what I have been saying all along but you might be talking height not mass.\n\nhttps://extension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/SP748.pdf",
"\"It's not what I meant, the mass is directly correlated to the surface area though, it's not rocket science that a taller* wider * tree is going to be able to collect more light.\"\n\nIm sure it is but its not linear. Once the canopy is closed all the light is being put to use if thats one big tree or twenty small ones.\n\n\"The carbon on a covered forest floor isn't all lost to the atmosphere, you are ignoring what open ground means and I think you are making assumptions about what they think, I don't know why you are caught up on leaf mass, as a percentage of a 1000kg tree how much do you think it is?\"\n\nThey are measuring the carbon being released from the forest floor and including that in the calculations. Im talking about leaf mass as that is also being included and thats wrong. As the total of a mature tree i doubt leaf mass is significant, but as a percentage of the carbon fixed by a tree each year its more significant and (i suspect) more so with mature trees.\n\n\"Yes as I said they may grow faster but what are you defining as speed, 100% mass for a 1kg tree is not the same as 10% for a 1000 kg tree and these were just examples to explain it to you, are you defining height, a fast tree could grow 3 feet a year, a slow one 1 foot a year, a high strocking rate is going to half the %, these people have 3% as a growth rate.\"\n\nI gave you absolute weight in my thought experiment. I didnt mention height or define it. I stated plainly that its the mass of carbon fixed as lignin in woody growth that i think is the metric to measure, total weight per m2 not per tree. But we are doubling down on the comparison to commercial logging operations here.\n\nYour forestry pdf talks in those terms, mass per acre per year (not age of individual trees). It doesnt talk about forestry rate of carbon capture.\n\n\"At the moment I'm still confused on the issue you have if you can't do your own research I can't explain it any clearer to you.\"\n\nUnfortunately you havnt explained it at all. You repeat that a bigger tree does more, i repeat that woody growth slows down and more small trees will quickly overtake one big tree and intercept the same radiation once canopies close. I went looking for the paper the vid and all the editorials refer to, to check the methodology... its not in nature. I cant find it searching under the reasearchers name or the institute.\n\nI think they are including leaf mass in the annual carbon sequestered when they shouldnt (when talking about climate). I think they are comparing to commercial logging operations, not new growth forest. I dont think they then offset the timber as \"sequestered\"... do need to see their methods.\n\nI guess you couldnt find the actual paper either."

"I like the line “to get my hands cleaned of what feeds you” a lot",
"In the sun, in the sun",
"Sounds like a slowed down Mudhoney song.\n\nWhich is the Nirvana sound, so good job, I guess.",
"this is good, but i prefer to hear \"drown out the sun\". A.I & Art are coming together wonderfully lately.",
"That was....actually pretty good",
"AI generated lyrics performed by a sub par cover band",
"A no name highschool band could take this right to the local ballroom on battle the bands night and dominate. Scary how good ai is getting. \n\nPeople said it couldnt replace artists but here we are. \n\nScary.",
"I’m sorry what?! Lol",
"I have the feeling like \"AI generated\" in this case means \"the lyrics were AI generated and someone wrote a song around it\".\n\nIf the entire song is actually generated by an AI somehow, I'd love some actual sources for this.",
"Yeah the youtube video doesn't explain it at all. If it just made the lyrics, sure that's neat. If it composed the entire song around it that's a lot more impressive.",
"The dystopian future I predict is one where all media is created like this, we all know it sucks, but we are powerless to consume anything else because media companies just churn this out and saturate the world with it.",
"Can an AI create a killer Nirvana song? \n\n*Can you?*",
"Lyrics were generated, but thats it. Everything else was produced by artists around those lyrics.",
"You are right, that's even better! I will hear your version from now on.",
"I picked up on this too. /u/Bosco_is_a_prick isn't crazy (As indicated by the controversial tag next to the upvotes). I ended up listening to Manson for part of the morning to figure out exactly why.\n\nI think it's the chorus and overarching song structure that sounds Mansonlike. His typical style is to stretch short, simple lyrics into longer vocal melodies (which is something I usually consider a pretty novice move) with pretty severe repetition. Cobain wasn't *that* sloppy with it, but I think most people will admit that Nirvana wasn't groundbreaking due to their complexity - it was their style. In that sense I agree that it sounds more Mason-y in parts.\n\nModern Manson seems to very obviously stretch every idea he has into something mass-producible; mediocre or otherwise. Most of his recent albums are full of songs based around one catchy (and often cheesy/edgy) sounding hook. I'd imagine that being limited to the AI generated lyrics resulted in the same effect in the finished product here. \"Hey, this is pretty sick. Let's make a whole-ass song around it.\"\n\nThat being said, my favorite part of this song is the chorus since it's tapping into the same sort of algorithmic hook generation that Mason leans on so heavily. It's juvenile in my opinion, but it works. Junk food. It's not something to appreciate for its complexity, but rather its accessibility.\n\nOtherwise, the tone of the guitar plucking and rhythms are more obviously Nirvana (not to mention the vocalist's efforts). People who take the song at face value will hear Nirvana and people picking up on the structure of the song itself will probably hear (post 2009) Manson.",
"It sounds nothing like Manson in the least.",
"Best case it did the lyrics, the song, and the voice from sampling Kurt's voice. That would be insanely impressive.",
"The song has too much structure to be fully generated by some ML routine. There's a concept of chorus and repetition of lyrics to match, which makes me think the music is all human written and performed.\n\nIf anything at all, I'm pretty sure it's just the voice that could be \"AI\" generated, but again, there is song structure, so the lyrics aren't machine generated. It's probably just an automatically assembled string of voice clips strung together to produce whatever words/sounds it was fed for the lyrics, but based/trained on voice samples of Kurt. So pretty much a Deepfake for voice, or whatever they're calling it now.",
"I'm not saying the song sounds like Manson. What it sounds like is a Nirvana-influenced cover stretched over the skeletal structure of a Manson song, like a skin.",
"I can see the lyrics being generated. There's quite some things happening recently in AI text generation, including AIs that are surprisingly good at replicating the structure of texts. I can totally see one recreating the structure of a song.\n\nBut yeah, the rest is probably man made.",
"It really doesn’t.",
"haha, my reaction too. I'd like to think that Kurt would have a laugh at this.",
"https://youtu.be/05bGPiyM4jg?t=109",
"Oh wow. The singing was so bad I thought for sure it was the AI doing the voice.\n\nThanks for the heads up.",
"If that's the case then you can literally say that about ANY music that stretches out simple lyrics into longer vocal melodies that follow a basic verse chorus verse structure. Which, like, is the skeletal structure of almost all of the music basically. Shit, all these comments are basically a Shakespeare play when you get down to it",
"(most) trap music in a nutshell",
"Try \"Warship my Wreck\" from Pale Emperor.",
"At least 99% of currently claimed \"AI\" isn't what people think it is. \n\nWhat marketers and tech fetishists say or believe is intelligence is just programmed algorithms doing what programmed algorithms and data have done for 50 years. The computer is slightly faster, and the data source is larger, and it taps into other algorithms, but that's not new. \n\nThen when the data is copied and modified, they like to call that \"machine learning\". \n\nMy parents wrote AI's that could somehow know the temperature in international Celsius units just from the Fahrenheit unit. It was uncannily intelligents. They just didn't know to market it that way. \n\nVideo has been upscaled for decades, but now every video upscaler is AI/ML? Sure it is...",
"\"AI\" is a buzzword, but \"machine learning\" is a specific thing that, while not new, has been used for pretty mind-boggling things in recent years.\n\nBut, yes, by definition, everything a computer does is just an \"algorithm\".",
"It's not mind boggling to me. It's just more bytes.",
"Well, you should be able to see the difference between an algorithm that goes from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and an algorithm that can write a fairly convincing text from a random prompt, then.",
"Yea,the AI popped out the lyrics and the rough melody and they got an actual band to perform it",
"Pretty sure that only the lyrics are AI generated. The singer is clearly a real person mimicking Kurt's voice.",
"Lyrics and the rough melody. A real band was brought into sing and clean it up.",
"Covered by Silverchair..",
"Seeing the difference is easy. Understand that they're the same requires knowledge of how they work.",
"Man, this seems like such a \"I'm very smart\" way to say that computers are all ones and zeroes in the end. Well, yeah, they are.\n\nAnd movies are just pictures on a screen with some audio. So what's the difference between Citizen Kane and The Room? Let's mock all people that are impressed by one but not by the other, those silly people who do not understand that movies are all the same!",
"No, but you sound like what a dumb person thinks a smart person would sound like. \n\nTo understand doesn't require much, just experience doing actual nose-down programming and data handling, plus objectivity that keeps one from being a fetishist. Those two things would enable you to see this.\n\nLets switch the analogy to some low achiever who enlisted in the army. He's watched countless movies and thinks individual soldiers save the world in a flash of action and gunfire. Recruiting posters and incessant messaging tells him he's on a mission, he's making the world free, he's crushing terrorism and creating democracy. He's a patriot, he's a liberator, he's a hero. In objective reality, he's sleeping on dirt, eating shit, getting paid nothing, and his main duties involving digging and cleaning latrines for no purpose other than his commanders know it keeps people like him busy. At that point, if he allows himself to become objective and see that the actual existence is latrine cleaning, not world saving, his self worth is gone, so he doesn't. At the same time, the structures above, they don't want to admit what they're doing is kind of grotty and pointless, so they cling to the \"we're saving democracy\" mindset. And all the citizens who view it choose that same more inspirational and happy but far less true narrative.\n\nIt's that same mentality that's making \"AI\" the fraudulent buzzword of this decade. \n\nNever mind that video upscaling isn't exactly new or novel, it's just being run on slightly more computers than before using more pixels and more time to guess the replacement pixels. Or that an algorithm to semi-randomly assemble words is still just an algorithm. The people working on it want to think they're superheroes, so they tell themselves that. The companies they work for are happy with going along because you don't have to pay as much to motivate them. And the uninformed consumers love thinking that a garden variety program is actually some feat of alchemy. It's a mutually agreed upon fantasy. \n\nIt's why commercials for the Geek Squad imply that a reincarnated Albert Einstein is going to be disassembling your SSD and resoldering a surface mounted component to bring your laptop back to life, when the reality is a sweaty kid will look for two seconds and say \"someone let the smoke out\" and point you to the corner of the store to buy a new laptop. The kid wants to think he's a genius, the store wants you think he's a genius, and after you spent money on him, you prefer to think you gave money to a genius, not that you were dumb enough to give money to someone who knows even less than you do.\n\nWe see it in media, with the recent willful delusion about UFO's, or stories of foreign autocrats claiming 18 hole-in-one golf shots in a row. None of it's real, but everyone prefers the notion of \"what if it were real?\" And so they go with that. Critical thought is suppressed.\n\nThe fact you went to tell yourself Citizen Kane and The Room are not the same thing: films made of a series of projected photographs, and that you'd rather believe one is a magic AI/ML creation and the other isn't? That's pseudo-intellect at work.\n\nIf you wanted to say this video upscaler program is neat, then fine. And I can say my parent's temperature program was neat for its time too. But I wouldn't have the hubris or marketing corruption to say their program was AI, even though it did literally artificially mimic a temperature conversion that an intelligent person could do. We knew it was a program, following an algorithm, taking in data as input, referring to a second data source of how to what the best coefficient would be, and outputting data.",
"I genuinely cannot parse your last paragraph.\n\nAnyways, the point is that machine learning can be a complex beast that does some very interesting things in a *very* different way than a simple algorithm that converts numbers into different numbers. Acknowledging that does not mean you are not smart enough to understand computers.\n\nGenuine question: Do you know how machine learning actually works? And I don't mean in an abstract sense. Do you know what a neural network is? Have you heard of layers, backpropagation, weights, the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning? \n\nBecause it sounds like you have a *very* basic understanding of programming and think that \"machine learning\" is just \"writing algorithms\" with a fancier name.",

"> I genuinely cannot parse your last paragraph.\n\nTake it word by word, and then sentence by sentence. It's pretty easy to understand, and you're not that dumb. So this is probably just another case of you fraudulently complaining about things.\n\n\n\n> Anyways, the point is that machine learning can be a complex beast that does some very interesting things \n\nJust as a fact matter, it's not a beast. It's a collection of algorithms and data. Complex? Sure. Let's subjectively say it's complex. But let's not falsely anthropomorphize. That's the lie that's got you in the hole you're in.\n\n\n> in a very different way than a simple algorithm that converts numbers into different numbers. Acknowledging that does not mean you are not smart enough to understand computers.\n\nYes, it's a \"complex\" set of algorithms that turns numbers into numbers. Huuuuuuuuge difference. Or not.\n\n\n> Genuine question: Do you know how machine learning actually works? \n\nGenuine answer: you're a liar with your \"genuine\" question. The fact you think it's miraculous magic is a giveaway that you don't understand how it works. To you, it *is* magic. Your kind saw an early gramophone thought a wizard shrunk people and hid them inside the cabinet. My kind knew how it worked.\n\nFor some of us, we see a car navigating streets, we know how it's an evolution of code and data, and its ancestors are Pinky and Inky navigating a maze. We know that when that autopilot car hits the brakes, it's a more complex extension of code that turned Pinky and Inky blue and made them run away instead of chase. Feel feel to be a hype fetishist, and I'll feel free to call out bullshit.\n\n> Because it sounds like you have a very basic understanding of programming and think that \"machine learning\" is just \"writing algorithms\" with a fancier name. \n\nAnd it sounds like you are a fetishist fanboy who get super pissy when someone pops your fantasy bubble. It sounds like you don't even understand how algorithms can interact with and change data and you're Dwight thinking the Dunder Mifflin mainframe has come alive to torment him.",
"You’re braindead.",
"Man, I haven't thought about Silverchair in a long while, but I can see it.",
"> Just as a fact matter, it's not a beast. It's a collection of algorithms and data.\n\nOh boy thank you for pointing that out. Until now I thought \"machine learning\" was a literal beast that lives in the woods giving us all this data.\n\nNext you're telling me \"the cloud\" is not actually floating in the air holding my emails!\n\n> Yes, it's a \"complex\" set of algorithms that turns numbers into numbers. Huuuuuuuuge difference.\n\nYes. Huge difference.\n\nBut hey, if you think that your fancy algorithm turning Celsius into Fahrenheit is basically the same as, say, an entire operating system like Windows 10, be my guest. It's all just numbers and algorithms, right?\n\nThe one and only difference is the marketing! Otherwise your C->F algorithm would have totally gotten you millions of dollars by now!\n\nAlso, my birdhouse is basically the same as a St. Peter's Church. It's just a bunch of wood stacked on top of each other, really. The rest is just marketing.\n\n> The fact you think it's miraculous magic is a giveaway that you don't understand how it works. To you, it is magic. \n\nI quite literally understand how it works down to the individual bytes. Unlike you. Machine learning is literally the opposite of magic to me.\n\nI mean you don't even seem to understand that machine learning - unlike your average algorithms - write their algorithms themselves. That's the \"machine learning\" part of machine learning, y'know?\n\nYou seem to think that people literally write the algorithms for automatically generated texts by hand, which is just hilarious.",

"Keep fetishizing Windows 10 as \"AI\". You're just proving my point.",

"You clearly are clueless in these subjects, and your whininess is the hallmark of your self doubt. Trotting out the juvenile \"very smart\" insult is invariably done by people like you who are crippled with insecurity.",
"So we both accuse each other of having no clue about the subject at hand.\n\nWouldn't the most obvious way to go about this be talking about the actual subject, then? I mean I know you're not gonna do that, but it's kinda interesting that you could beat me with your wealth of knowledge on the subject, and yet you don't, right?\n\nMeanwhile, I am more than happy to talk in-depth about programming, algorithms and machine learning here.",
"When someone introduces themselves to me by instigating a false attack and acting like a complete asshole, I treat them as they've chosen to be treated. Add to that your loud and proud ignorance of the core subjects, and you've earned less than zero respect.",
"The funny thing is that I felt a bit bad about the early insult, because hey, there was a chance that you just worded your statement awkwardly and meant something perfectly reasonable. And if you would have just kept it at (correctly!) complaining about \"AI\" being used as a buzzword with little meaning other than marketing, you would have been just fine.\n\nBut you've really disqualified yourself once we started to actually talk about the subject at hand. I genuinely invite you to read up on machine learning. Wikipedia is a good start. Without all the marketing fluff, it's a fascinating subject, and there's a lot for you to learn.",
"I've learned that when someone like you comes out of the gate as a roaring asshole, then doubles down with loud and proud ignorance, they've shown you what they are. You won't change. You can't. You're uneducated, dishonest, and insecure.",
"At this point I'm just here to see how long you keep those insults up.\n\nI bet you that you don't even know what I'm ignorant about by now. I do agree with you about this whole \"AI\" thing after all, so what am I even wrong about?",
"If you can muster up a genuine apology and be a nice person for a sufficient period of time, then I'll believe you regret being an asshole and that you've changed and are ready to learn.",
"Eh. I'm sorry I brought up the \"I am very smart\" insult at a time when I wasn't 100% sure about that being correct yet. Everything that came after was just a response to your insults.",
"Thus proving the soundness of my policy on people who announce up front that they're an asshole.",
"> It's not mind boggling to me. It's just more bytes.\n\nThat was your original statement. It is a pretty dumb *and* arrogant statement on multiple levels. A statement like that doesn't deserve any respect, and yet my original response was fairly respectful.",
"I tried dumbing it down to your level but it turns out you're one very uneducated asshole. Maybe a puppet show would work.",
"No, you weren't. We both know that. I continue to get and continue to agree with your original point. It's just all that followed that turned out to be pretty dumb and arrogant.\n\nBut man, I would pay for a puppet show done by you explaining how machine learning works. That would be hilarious.",

"Humanity is incorporating technology both mechanical and electronic into our daily life and how we interact with the world. Eyeglasses, bicycles, smart phones, vehicles. The world of the short has seen millions or billions of years of this process, until the distinction is gone. Machines give birth to machines, organisms live within the mechanical constructs of other organisms. As a consequence, every living thing is a tool. Every animal is a mechanism for performing a step in what was once an endless back and forth between the biological and the technological, but through evolution, the two have become one.\n\nI'm not sure I understood fully. Is the planet Earth, far in the future, and the sphere was replaying some saved genetic memory? Why then are there still existing humans? Or was it a different planet, that once had a species start making tools, just like we did, and the ending is the woman's revelation at Humanity's future?",
"If Liquid Television were still around, this would be a perfect candidate for that show.",
"Great take.\n\nIs like that man in the seed only job was to pull the level and call for the real seed.",
"I think the ending was a short lived hallucination of Earth. Those two had been trapped on the planet for so long with no means of actual escape. So that sequence of events through the entire thing was the only type of escape they could make.",
"maybe they're re-living their own memories, in a quemichally enhanced way. \n\nI mean, I agree: initially I thought it was a connection with their planet (Earth, for example), but then I realized the woman sees herself as part of the scene. \n\nSo maybe they just go through all this biological Rube Goldberg and all this hassle because it's worth to relive an instant of home",
"My take is that the natural order is the only way life can sustain. The consumerism and pollution of today couldn't float humanity, and so natural life reclaimed the earth. Humanity persisted, yet the humans still had this yearning for cities, order, and compartmentalism. So the two in this animation had this almost druggy like journey to get their hit of a life that once was, and that can't avoid but want.",
"that planet is stuck in a time loop. No other way theyd figure out how to do all that by trial and error.",
"I love it but also keep thinking this part doesn't make sense:\n\n>We need to throw a blorg ball near the ablo cave so the piko dust wakes up the porger, which pees on the bingbing, so the bilbo shrooms can sprout. In one of those bilbo shrooms is the grablo, we need to wake him up so that he can give us a grubgrub ball. We then need to take that grubgrub ball to the nearby lake, sprinkle some water on it so it inflates into a brugbrug ball, which I can stab and then it opens and I can put bragtos seeds in and throw it in, which causes a flopus fish to beach itself, so I can cut it open and get into its organs and pull the intestine lever and manipulate these intricate controls so it pukes out flummus slime, so we can feed the flummus slime to a 2-legged bingo, so it gets poisoned and its butt bursts which decloaks the electroray, which is going to poop out a blue wompus ball, which when we shove our heads inside, there's a blorg ball that will let us have really vivid visions of being back home.\n\nHow did they figure this rube-goldberg situation out in the first place?",
"Agreed. Groundhog day in space."

"[Part I is here](https://youtu.be/b_V-VJQT6pM). Thanks for checking it out.",
"I remember this 😢",
"Wow, you’re the interface person? Wiiiild. Stoked to watch.",
"Dude I love your work, I've viewed everything you've made start to finish. Keep it up.",
"I binged your videos for like 2+ hours the night I discovered them. I was giggling like a school girl. Keep up the great work!",
"Incredible stuff as always, Umami.",
"Bro. \n\nB R O. \n\nmy buddy and I fucking LOVE this series. Bummed to know it's over but man, oh MAN did we love it. Well done!",
"HOLY HELL HI\n\n\nFirst and foremost your art has been a huge centering piece in my life.\n\nTHANK YOU.",
"Hi! That makes me really happy to hear. :)",
"Wow. Lovely",
"It's like 11am and I'm super high right now and this is blowing my mind. Well done I am absolutely loving this and will watch it again immediately after when my gf gets home later hahaha this is incredible!!",
"Could not wait to show my friends Part 1 when it came out. The atmosphere, the music, the whole thing amazing. Can't wait to watch this with my buddies. Thanks for the work!",
"Legend",
"I've been a patron for a long time, love this series. I watch it with my siblings, thanks for giving us something to watch together and talk about!\n\nAny idea what's next for you?",
"Oh jeez, you finished it? Welp, time for me to catch up.\n\nI'm an animation student, by any chance, could I ask about your process? What software do you use?",
"Fascinating and gorgeous - Thank you for that!\n:D<3=",
"I've been watching your videos for years! They're awesome. Love your Ronald McDonald video!",
"Lol I'm subbed to you I think",
"This is such a great series. The music alone was soooo good.",
"Absolutely one of the best and most original shows I have ever seen. I have been watching this series for a long time. I would LOVE to see this series redone with a multi-million dollar budget.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n\\*if some one ever gives you millions of dollars please do a shot-by-shot remake with no change to the editing thank you in advance",
"I’ve been watching your stuff since YT recommended it to me!\n\nReally like your style, hope to see what you’ll make next!",
"I didn't really get into part1. Good music though.",
"I'm afraid to watch this",
"holy shit I love these. gonna watch the entire thing again later. you fucking rule umami",
"[It's ok BB](https://i.imgur.com/BpeoWBr.jpg).",
"Of course you can. I'm using Photoshop with a plugin called Animator's Toolbar Pro, and I composite the files in After Effects. Some of the 3D stuff was done in Cinema4D, which also works with AE very easily.",
"My plan is to focus on self contained shorts for a while... maybe a year, make a music album... After then, it will be more clear what I want to do next. I don't want to jump into a big commitment right away, just completing this series was kind of stressful on it's own.",
"God I love this show! I recently got your coronawave vinyl and have been disturbing the neighbours!",
"Big fan even have some of your posters much love from ~~Chechnya~~ Czechia",
"I love your stuff. The music and the mood thats created. There's nothing like it.",
"Absolutely love this series, the style is very unique, like surreal meets synthwave, but not as contrived as that may sound. I make music, and recently have been working on some disjunct and dissonant electronic stuff, and this was very inspirational. Keep up the good work!",

"A friend of mine recently came over for a 420 sesh and we watched it in its entirety. Incredibly surreal and I loved it all!",
"I absolutely love this. The clown is spot on for creepy yet lovable. Comforting in an odd way. Thanks for a peek inside your creative mind. Great music too.",
"I've just discovered this, what the actual fuck, this is brilliant, a masterpiece. holy guacamole man, your talent is out of this world.",
"Oh my god.\nLiterally started rewatching interface yesterday, so excited!!\n\nAbsolutely love your work!",
"Huh, interesting, I personally would never use PS to animate, but maybe I should check out that plugin.\n\nWould it at all be possible to see your storyboards and pre production stuff? I'm a sucker for behind the scenes stuff. But if that's a big no go zone, no hard feelings!",
"Holy shit is it really you umami? Your work is incredible and style is one of a kind! Been a fan for a long time!",
"Check out his livestreams on his Youtube. They're 2-3 hours of him drawing, animating, and compositing scenes.",
"+1",
"Your art style is so wonderfully gritty and grungy, in the absolute best way. I found you through your Campbell's chicken noodle soup video, only to discover a delightfully creepy master of animating.\n\nI hope you take a good rest before you jump back into it, because you absolutely deserve it.",
"...how have I not noticed the livestreams..???",
"I remember that first video. You deserve all the success and recognition and joy from your art that I know you deserve.\n\nIt started with such a great character, and you did it so well.\n\nMy wife and i fucking love your crying Ronald video btw.",
"Very cool man! Getting some William Kentridge vibes, even though I know they're completely different processes. Was the low resolution/pixelized style an intentional choice or a happy accident?",
"Oh wow. You're the Interface guy? Just love your work, and was exposed it thanks to Nexpo. So cool to hear from the man himself!",
"Super excited to check this out. Loved Part I. \nCan I ask what you took inspiration from and what research you've done, when writing and animating?",
"Both sad and glad to know it's over.\n\nI think I learned of you from Nexpo",
"Wow. I remember Interface and just thinking \"WTF , this is glorious!\" \n\nGreat work",
"I have no idea what I just stumbled upon here... wow, this looks like something else. Well done.",
"It’s so strange I remember when you posted at the beginning I think and it feels like yesterday.",
"How weird is it that the first part showed up on my YouTube a few weeks ago and it's been haunting my daydreams ever since",
"What a ride! Thank you for your awesome work!!",
"This whole series have new a The maxx vibe and really enjoyed it thoroughly",
"Been watching since part 10, such great work. The animation, writing, and music are top tier.",
"Been subbed to your channel ever since the Thomas the nuclear bomb video. Congratulations on completing your series.",
"Umami is also a biblical angel enjoyer? I'm not surprised, but I am definitely glad <3",
"When I started the series it was really spontaneous and didn't research much of anything. I did look up some details on the Philadelphia urban legend though. Later when I decided to incorporate paintings into the series I did more research to make sure they aligned with the message/story, but sometimes I also allowed the research from the paintings to guide the story.\n\nAnimation wise I was really inspired by Ghost in a Shell and Miyazaki, King of the Hill, and other Youtubers, Pilotredsun, David Firth among others.",
"It was intentional, because I wanted a rasterized animation style that wasn't going to be too resource intensive on the computer. I wasn't a fan of flash style animation, and was also inspired by other Youtubers who were drawing in a MS paint style online.",
"I do have a short thing coming out on the 30th, but yes after that I'm planning to just take a break, or at least reduce the hours for a while. Thank you :)",
"Thank you :)",
"I actually don't have any storyboards... essentially I would just draw a shot how I wanted it, and if it was good I would use that as the base for the animation. This is the advantage of doing most of the work myself, but if there was a team of animators I would have to make proper storyboards.",
"Congratulations on getting out part 2! \n\n\nI honestly think this series is true art. The story, characters, art and music are all S tier.",
"thank you interface guy. your work is very cool.",
"I love your work! I’ve been subbed for years!",
"Love the content that you put out! Nexpo did a video a few years back and ever since then I’ve been hooked. Thank you for the creativity you put in the world",
"Wild much???\n\nThat thing had an ass at the end, haha\n\nGreat job op, quite intriguing. Any particular point you were attempting to bring across?",
"Always love your work. I’ve been watching for years and it always stays interesting. Consistently gives off an eerie, oddly nostalgic feeling that’s unsettling but comforting at the same time. Thanks for putting this out man.",
"Love the animation, but gotta say the music was the best part. Well done",
"Interface is one of my favorite series on Youtube that I have no easy route to recommend to people. I feel like you either find this (or it finds you), or you just weren't meant for it. \n\nExcited to get on that third pressing of the OST.",
"Oh part II, this is awesome, thanks Umami!\n\nFor those not in the know: This series is like injecting yourself with pure artistic inspiration. No really, your brain will be glowing after you finish watching this.",
"I’ve watched it since you started. I’m glad I was alive to see such beauty and artificial thought put into what you did here.",
"Should be somewhat soon, they told me they'll be ready in November :)\n\nThank you!",
"Were any of these segments aired on Adultswim or on the adultswim website/chats?\n\nI feel like I've seen it there.",
"I did some commissions for them a few years ago featuring Mischief (the pink noodle guy), but nothing from this series.",
"Shit man you’re Umami! Love your work!",
"You should really try playing with photoshop. Virtually all of the most-talented animators use it for cel animation.",
"That's a surprise to me, I always hear that it's toonboom! I've been using ps for 10+ years, but everyone in the industry I've talked to has told me to use toonboom for animation",
"Umami you fucking rule.",
"Interface was my introduction to online webseries, I even bought one of your shirts! Thanks for everything you do :))",
"It really depends on what you’re trying to do. For cartoons you see on TV, Toonboom is the way to go. For the more artsy cel character animation commonly used in advertising, photoshop is unbeatable.",
"I'm a huge fan of your work. The music and the storytelling style just leave me in awe. It can't be compared to anything. Do you have any inspiration?",
"I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon and say how unique and creative your work is. The world gets a little bit better with people like you in it. Thank you for making this!!",
"I know what I'm watching before bed tonight",
"What's the advantage of using photop for animation over illustrator?",
"Thank you soda :)",
"So many things... but I'll just say my favourite film director is Michael Mann and I think his work influenced me the most.",
"Yeaaah I really enjoyed those.\n\nThe IT like one with the sewer drain and one about a bowling lane/bowling ball.",
"Thank you! :)",
"Illustrator doesn’t have a timeline built in, so actual animation is basically impossible with illustrator alone. Designs from illustrator are often brought into programs like after effects to animate. Photoshop has everything built in: the design tools + a timeline/keyframe system to animate those designs",
"Man, I’m teaching myself animation right now using AE and was looking at plugins, mostly TimeLord. But now I’m looking at photoshop thanks to this, you’re A Legend for pulling this off",
"I'm a big fan. Will you be making a frog version of Mischief?",
"I've been following your channel since the McDrivin' (not sure of its real name) series. Watching your progression has been a joy.\n\nMcFelon really stuck with me.",
"As a machinist who grew up in an industry where people refused to share knowledge, I think what you did here is awesome! We all become better at our craft when we share with one another. Big ups yourself!",
"Awesome thanks!",
"Photoshop can be nice if you prefer raster over vector drawing, and there are is a lot brush versatility that some other animation software doesn't have. Although in my experience photoshop can be pretty cumbersome to animate with even with that plugin.",
"If it wasn't for the hundreds of youtube tutorials I would have been totally lost over the years, so I agree with you on that!",
"Just remember to check your colour space and frame rate on every blank canvas, because if you do work and they're set wrong it can be a pain to fix. There are a few other Photoshop animators out there, just search it on google for some tips. I highly recommend the toolbar plugin though, and another one called Rostrum by the same developer. (it bakes the png sequence into a photoshop video that saves space)",
"Possibly 2022 :)",
"Awesome! I love my Mischief bird! As do my cats...",
"Reminds me of Spawn",
"I remember watching part one a couple years ago. This is great, gonna rewatch part one to catch up",
"Oh shit, I love Interface man, great work!\n\nLooks like I oughta go finish it",
"Nice, I’ve been waiting to binge this. Wasn’t expecting to be reminded by the man himself.",
"What a coincidence. I was scavenging my saved posts yesterday looking for something unrelated and saw part 1 in there from 2017 and reminded myself to watch it. Guess I save this one too….and watch it in 4 years.",
"Your use of color is really unique. It doesn’t seem like your color choices should work, but they somehow do. Many of these frames would look great as paintings.",
"It's hilarious how many new Replica Studios users these videos sent us when you used the AI voices. It really helped us when we were starting, though is a WTF moment when we show new hires.",
"Yo love these videos when I see them on off air",
"You've really done amazing work, thank you u-m-a-m-i",
"I watched part 1 over a year ago, I think. I was looking for it recently and couldn't find it because I forgot the name. So glad this was posted! \n\nYou capture what my dreamscape is like!",
"This may genuinely be **the** most haunting and beautiful piece of animation work I’ve ever seen.\n\nI will be showing this to every single person I know. And it will be up there with It’s Such a Beautiful Day as one of my favorite pieces of media ever introduced to me. Bravo.",
"Thank you Dave :)",
"Ahaha, that is amazing. \"One of the prominent uses of this technology, is this... green guy, who... got stuck in a chimney. And he's rude.\"\n\nCheers",
"👍😉👍",
"I’m having a hard time finding where his recorded livestreams are. They don’t appear to be on his YouTube.",

"Maoism is/was more insane than most people know. Like, Mao ordered farmers to plant seeds clumped together *so that they would instill a spirit of community*. It fucked their crops up but people couldn't question it.",
"Wasn't exactly Mao who came up with it. It was a Soviet agronomist named Lysenko, whose methods were too stupid even for Soviet agriculture after the period of Stalin. He advocated actively against genetics and another of the methods he advocated for was planting seeds up to six feet under the ground so they would grow strong roots.

For in these slammers was bound the strength and power to govern each race. But they were all of the deceived. For another slammer was made. \n\nIn the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the dark lord Sauron forged in secret a master slammer. To control all others, and into this slammer he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his to dominate all pogs. One slammer to rule them all.",

"I wish this guy did 10 minute videos, or a second channel with abbreviated versions of these.",
"I like the long format myself. I'm sure there are shorter, punchier \"Top 10 Facts You WEREN'T TOLD about early photographs!!\" that come in at about 5 minutes, but TC is for the deep dive, man.",
"I said I would prefer a shorter version, not a dumbed down one. Maybe theres a deep dive video explaining the difference somewhere.",
"I admit, I was being taciturn and a bit shady, but I don't actually think that popular, snappily-edited videos are necessarily dumber. Some of them are I suppose, but most just deliberately leave out technical details that would be boring to someone who just wanted the broad strokes. Technology Connections will dive in pretty deep, and talk a lot about the technology and (go figure) its connections to history and other innovations.",
"Now that's a good reply, and I agree with you."

"What in the fuck. No way that isn’t scripted. Imagine being that insecure.",
"You know at least four incels will take this seriously, start 'acting sigma' and eventually get the shit knocked out of them.",
"This dude apparently was a Marine corps veteran and had some severe emotional issues after his discharge. He committed suicide last year",
"*sigmacide",
"What?",
"I can't stand Gordon Ramsey but this dude makes him look very likable and reasonable in comparison",
"Sigmas are popular, successful, highly independent and self-reliant men.\n\nThis guy was a damaged, alpha veteran.\n\nWhere did sigma come from when referring to him?\n\nIt doesn't fit his personality at all?",
"Sigma is a made up concept, not a real subset of humanity. So are alpha and beta unless you make the definition very specific, then another demographic grouping will always be more effective to use.\n\n'Tango males are socially refined, educated and charismatic men who are good at dancing...' It's just vague, unscientific bullshit for people who want to feel special. It's no different than speaking in tongues or reading horoscopes or bloodtypes... shit like that.",
"Ah, so Sigma doesn't actually exist.\n\nWhy is OP using sigma (even if it doesn't exist) to label behaviour that it doesn't define? (even if it doesn't really exist)?\n\nDoes he actually mean alpha but has got it wrong?",
"Alpha doesn't exist either... but I don't care about the meme, I care about your apparent belief in the nonsensical subject of it.",
"believe?\n\nin a meme?\n\nI just noticed an incorrect assertion an tried to understand it.\n\nI always thought that the leader of an animal hierarchy was labelled the alpha.\n\nNo biggie dude. Don't mind me.\n\nYou can get back to jerking it into your sock.",
"> Sigmas are popular, successful, highly independent and self-reliant men. \n\nMade-up nonsense akin to horoscopes, which you stated as if it were fact. Find a peer-reviewed study proving any of these hierarchies in humans... You won't have an easy time, and will have to grasp at poorly-vetted social sciences to do so. There aren't even any standing (still supported) articles on this for wolves or many other animals we once used this model for.\n\n> believe?\n\n> in a meme?\n\nBelieve, in the subject of a meme... which is what I said before you went into le cuckboi mode, apparently...? Reading can be fun, but reading the entire sentence is crucial.\n\nStay in school, kid. It gets better, especially if you stop spreading bullshit ideas and move out of the basement and into reality.",

"Time traveling wizard. That’s amazing. Congrats! Her smile and sense of awe is wonderful. \nNow start thinking about how you’re gonna raise the bar for first anniversary gift! :-)",
"That is so cute!",
"Nah. The story alone will let him coast to at least the 5th anniversary.",
"God I know! Will start scheming",
"this was cooler than I anticipated. already immortalized. happiness forever to you both",
"Thank you very much! She realized afterwards why I picked a specific outfit for her (and I) wear… the artist needed our outfits a week in advance. It was not pleasant wearing flip flops!",
"What the F David Blaine!!",
"Thank you for reminding me of [that classic](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/224468-what-the-eff-david-blaine)!",
"Recognised Portsmouth immediately when the video started. Love seeing it pop up on Reddit",
"The first anniversary is supposed to be the 'paper' one, I say go to a convention in papercraft armor. My wife and I ate off paper plates and watched Mythbusters though, so you do you.",
"/r/mademesmile",
"Just curious, is she Canadian? That accent sounds Canadian to me.",
"Yeah! Love this city!",
"Massachusetts actually… but she’s been here for two years and studying dialect, so it’s basically American mixed with English… so Canadian makes sense!",
"With the look on her face that's a fucking knockout my dude. Good job.",
"Great job! That must not have been easy to arrange but what a cool thing to have done. The moment forever immortalised in the mural.",
"It turned out far better than I could have hoped or anticipated ☺️",
"This is insanely intimate and personal... why are you sharing this here?",
"Are all comments so far just glossing over that she didn't even get it? or am I just out of the loop? What's a countess and a jeweler have to do with anything???",
"Congratulations, a proposal to the right person is the hardest thing in the world to do, even if you know theyll say yes.",
"Maybe he doesn't have Facebook",
"What does that have to do with anything?",
"I don't really understand your argument for why he shouldn't?",
"I hate that everyone on here just wants to \"argue\".\n\n>This is insanely intimate and personal... why are you sharing this here?\n\nThings that intimate and personal should not be on here or any social media IMO\n\nDont take my word for it. Its at 62% voting after 13 hours posted. Even made front page of a large sub reddit. You people should learn that not everything needs to be shared. This is one of those things.",
"Can you explain how you arranged this?",
"Since we're being frank, you know what I think? I think you're the toxic element here. You come into a post where someone has decided to share a positive moment from their life and you try (and fail, you still haven't given any kind of reasoning) to find a reason to shame them for it.",
"You know what I think? Nothing of you. \n\nThe guy is so ensconced in love and on the greatest moment of his life... he runs to virtue signal a personal and intimate part in his lifeline with a bunch of strangers online... but gotcha. Mr toxic here you dunce.",
"He's the one virtue signaling? My friend. Self awareness is a drink you need a nice tall glass of.",
"How is saying \"dont post your personal shit\" online virtue signaling? It used to be commom sense.",
"Oh come of it you know exactly what you're doing. You're (attempting to) shame them in a display of how moral and righteous and apparently against people sharing happy moments you are.",
"Woah.. you dont get to tell me what I am doing. I stated very clearly twice my question. You also have pointed out twice that I have yet to respond to your \"demand\" which is what it is. That your thing? Try and bully people on here?\n\nYou have made multiple insults, bs insinuatuons and then insist on lecturing me on your nonsense opinion. You woulda been better off minding yourself but coming from someone imploring people to share their most intimate moments online for some form of validation... that would be expected. Carry on please little one.",
"Said the pot.",
"The proposal was personal and intimate, that I’ve saved for just her and I. I’m I see your point and considered it while posting. I just wanted to share a positive moment that might make some people smile… it didn’t for others and that’s ok. \n\nI wasn’t doing it for karma or something. It made some people happy and that made my happiness feel shared. I apologize if it made you upset- I do appreciate your point though.",
"I’ve been in touch with the artist for about a month: I knew I wanted to propose on the shore and found a quiet spot that also didn’t have anyone painted on the map yet. Once he painted it, I asked the next day! Had to do it soon because she walks by it every day.",
"Immediately previous we had been discussing her ring and the jeweler who helped design it… honestly I tease her about “is that the jeweler?” She was just flabbergasted and it was her mouth catching up to her brain.\n\nThe Countess is the name of our cat, who I also had painted up there.",
"Thanks for the explanation. It was a beautiful gesture",
"This was awesome man"

"I see Joel I just click.",
"Joel, a great man",
"So he wants to win friends by not making friends while making friends?",
"feels like he animated this sketch because the animated videos get more clicks.\n\nThat's the only reason i can think that its animated",
"He has said that’s the case. Can you blame him?",
"Yeah probably, he's mentioned in previous videos how that is exactly what he does. He's also riffed on people who only watch his animated content before.",
"Every time I see this I think of poor Marshall.\n\nHis kind sweet spirit ... never again ...",
"Cant blame him at all. Just interesting how people view him as 'the funny animation guy' so that's what he has to do to every video now, even if the format doesn't exactly work for the content.",
"Though in this case it allowed him to use backdrops from Friends (the apartment and coffee shop) which may be more effective than doing it with green screen. So not completely pointless.",
"I honestly thought this went on too long.",
"Not completely. But i feel though the animation was actually distracting in the case of this sketch.",
"[\"I'm not here to make friends\" supercut](https://youtu.be/w536Alnon24)",
"Uh, i think you're on the wrong set buddy, we're not here to meet your mother.",
"Personally, I'm here to make friends. Not like \"friends\" friends, but y'know, \"friends.\"",
"Every time he murders a YouTuber for saying that... it cracks me up. Love Joel, and I love his live action skits too. I went on a bender after his first animated one blew up.",
"You see animated thumbnail - oh cool it’s Joel’s stuff I like that.\n\nYou see generic thumbnail of two people - I sleep.",
"I have no idea what the point of this was, but I thought it was hilarious.",
"Love this haha",
"Are behind-the-scenes reality shows of other shows a thing or was the entire concept invented just to set up the \"make friends\" joke? (I'm OOTL)",
"His beautiful eyes.... so sad.",
"Joel's Haver's content is mostly improvised, so I'm sure it was just the case of oh hey I just thought of the stupidest joke. Ok let's film it!\n\nAnd as always, that weird awkwardness just meshes in perfectly with great comedic effect.\n\nAnyway, there's no point lol",
"I dont think thats a fair statement. Out of his last 20 videos, only 4 are animated.",
"Yeah this was the Joel Haver equivalent to a 90’s/2000’s movie based on an SNL sketch.",
"There are behind-the-scenes documentaries about the making of films and TV shows, but not usually in the \"competitive reality show\" mold. This video is just as much a riff on shows like Survivor as it is on Friends (in fact, the latter is solely so they could make the joke based on the show's name).",
"Oh Marshall… no…",
"I think it was about 20 seconds too long. It should have been a Short.",
"This describes every Joel Haver video I've ever seen. Funny at first but goes on longer than it should have. The animation doesn't add anything either but it's his shtick.",
"Nice.",
"Ahhh, alright, thank you.",
"Wow! They really wasted that much time to make a bad joke",
"Or that he can animate the Friends set in the background instead of building a replica for moneys",
"Well there's that, and how else do you get on the set of Friends?",
"look at this guy.. wanting less Joel Haver",
"his lanky kong vid is an all time great",
"Cheaper than making sets for these sketches.",
"reminder to check out his live action stuff as well. the humour is similar, and the dude is currently going around 'visiting' other youtubers in his van.",
"it wasn't really a fair or an unfair statement. just an opinion.",
"This dude is just a joy, his humor is wonderful.",
"What? But most of his videos are not animated.",
"Never committed any crime",
"\"Marshall, oh no, they want shady, I'm chopped liver\"",
"Every reality show has someone saying I'm not here to make friends. So someone on a reality show about making the show friends saying it leads to this",
"Joel is hit or miss for me. That \"Adventure awaits\" stuff was good enough to keep me subscribed though, just in case that kind of magic is captured again.",
"Wait there was a show called White Rapper???",
"solid bit",
"I really feel like without the animation, the timing and humor doesn't have the same feel. His stuff is good but the animation really is what makes it stand out.",
"Also, he'd either need a David Schwimmer lookalike for the first scene, or the actual David Schwimmer.\n\nWhich is dangerous. I heard he tried to eat the other Friends.",
"What software did OP use to create this effect?",
"> His stuff is good but the animation really is what makes it stand out.\n\nCareful, this is the kind of statement that could get you strangled with an electrical cord.",
"> so that's what he has to do to every video now\n\nHe has plenty of non-animation videos...",
"The Flavor Flav part was the best.",
"I didn’t know that. I only ever see the animated ones on here.",

"Here, you gahd damn tease \n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PugcxQYJGjs",
"Man does thing to increase income, news at 11.",
"Yeah the Friends set was a key part of the sketch. And replicating it is basically impossible.",
"I love the level of dedication put into this dad joke premise.",
"They 100% thought of this while high.",
"Will there be neckline?",
"The thing is: It’s just not very funny.",
"Not really, I mean I know he made that joke, but he really only really uses the animations when it’s necessary. If you scroll through his videos, he’s got far more live action videos, and the ones that are animated have plots that typically take place inside a video game or another fake place. \n\nIn this case, the Friends set doesn’t exist or isn’t easily accessible, but it’s a key part of the joke. So even though it takes place in “real life,” it still needed to be animated to incorporate the specific setting.",
"This is great example of a setup for a joke, enough time for the joke to play out and edging on being too long, but stops just short of that. Most other videos that have a single joke get stretched to like 6-7 minutes and they overstay the joke. This was a perfect timeframe.",
"EbSynth",
"muy chido el video",
"I thought it was, and judging by the amount upvotes, many others did as well. That's how comedy works, what's funny to one, may not be to another. Why do some Redditors struggle so hard with this concept?",
"I feel like this comment thinks it’s clever but it’s just a hook to get more upvotes.",
"No, he wants to win Friends by not making friends while making Friends. See the difference?",
"I'm honestly liking his \"killing other YouTubers\" series more than his animated videos. I was hoping he'd meet Gus, but Gus is going on tour.",

"Couldn’t get past the fake Ross voice",
"Yet most people on Reddit don't even know he mostly makes live-action shorts, which pull in a fraction of the views that his animated videos do.",
"You excited for the pee tweet? Shame he had to postpone it last time. I'm ready to see the pee tweet.",
"This feels like the SNL reality show parody they did a while ago. I think Chris Hemsworth was in one of them.",
"Check his channel, I'm pretty sure he posted something that was essentially a tutorial.",
"I can't believe how long it took for me to get the joke ... but once I did ...",
"Did you get run over before you finished typing that sentence?",
"It's insecurity. They want attention and the easiest way to do that is to air an opinion they know is \"controversial\" (in so much as most people in this thread are here because we liked the video) but they're not smart enough or articulate enough to discuss it constructively, just say \"not funny tho\". \n\nObviously most people who didn't find it funny just downvoted and/or moved on.",
"Holy shit that made me laugh so hard. “If anyone shoots anybody it’s gonna hurt, that doesn’t make you special”",
"Don't speak on all of his videos if you don't know what they are.",
"Opinions can be unfair. I'm of the opinion that you're being a dick. Fair?",
"No, it's called 'Matt-speak'.",
"The age of reality tv is not over though, tv through streaming just makes it easier to ignore what we don't want to watch. Reality TV is still massively popular.",
"You will be hard pressed to find anything more toxic and abrasive than reality tv.",
"They're on about the art style.",
"But sire.",
"Joel Haver? On my Reddit?",
"Yea for real. I've watched his other stuff before and know how he asked for people to watch it, but it doesn't hit the same for me. There was that one with the projector that I liked a lot though lol.",
"Honestly his live action shorts are pretty much the exact same, just without the filter.",
"Flavor of Love is by far the dopest reality tv show. It was consistently hilarious.",
"I'll check it out thanks.",
"That makes a lot of sense, never thought about the motivation behind it. I bite so many times too, I can't help myself I guess lol. Maybe your explanation will set me free.",
"I think the live stuff is equally funny, if not better. I think my personal favorite is the [interviewing for a job](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAr1dYAI-co&t). It's just so silly, and the fact that the interviewee's answers to the questions were completely ad-libbed makes it that much funnier IMO.",
"You mean the one we’re still in? Everything is a Makeover / Housewives / Extreme / Truckers show",
"His gaming stuff is so on point. [This one is my favorite](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSgrumHw-XA) and [this one trailing closely behind it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP468OEln4U).\n\nI hope he keeps doing videos with [Trent Lenkarski](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiAj9NhvUTfNaq4YwOHGEyA) who seems tremendously smaller by comparison to Joel. Their dynamic is fucking hilarious and they have amazing on-screen chemistry. I've rewatched so many videos that feature the two of them but I dunno, it feels like there's been a rift in their friendship ever since that time [Joel tried to kill Trent.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHH47xG1pDU) :(",
"That's what's so great about it. It's a dad joke, basically - and there's nothing wrong with that.",
"Made a whole video of a punchline. I can respect that.",
"How else would they set the theme if it wasn’t animated though? \n\nRecreate the set or just tell it in a different format?",
"[Tutorial confirmed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq_KOmXyVDo). Ebsynth is AI assisted rotoscoping, which saves a bitchload of time animating every frame by hand, but still takes a lot of time.",
"It's disgusting to see you all supporting a murderer. Get this guy's stuff out of here.",
"I would say that it sounds like you have a brittle spirit, if any of my comments were enough for you to qualify me as a dick.",
"im not a fan of his animation video. i like the live action ones much more",
"Thank you, that was great.",
"[I'm not proud of what I did.](https://youtu.be/LLnXRqsBl3k) is one of my favorites with Trent. His deadpan is so damn good.",
"Well I mean … he was such a filthy rat … he was just bested by the blade",
"“Why do we even have three chandeliers in here?.. it’s like a warehouse.”",
"Sounds like you're saying it's not fair that I called you a dick. Thanks for proving my point.",
"Awesome more Joel videos!",
"it was called \"The White Rapper Show\" and I'm ashamed to say I watched every episode.",
"Fuck you I didn't ask for your opinion. I didn't come to reddit to make friends.",
"They're debatably better since the subjects don't have to limit their movement. His animating process requires subjects to stand pretty still so as to not create lots of weird AI artefacting that is pretty noticeable in his animations, yet entirely unavoidable (unless the subjects don't move their body or face at all).\n\nPlus, his live-action cinematography is awesome.",
"\"TONY LAZUDO!? Tony- hahahaha\" so fucking good",
"The stiffness of the characters in the art is definitely part of the charm for me. His live action stuff is good too, but I really like the fantasy/science fiction stuff he's able to do with the animation.\n\nThe animation also sets it apart from the hundreds of other \"pretty funny\" comedy sketch YouTubers. I get why he's frustrated by it, but there's a reason his animated stuff garners more attention.",
"Just had my Joel cherry popped. \n\n5/7 would pop again!",
"What about the shrink Ray?",
"Have you seen [This](https://youtu.be/zF98NUj2Ez0)?",
"He's on a road trip in a van, sounded like at least one other guy was dubbed in; so it's possibly for easy collaboration.",
"Mm… no I think he finished the sentence and then got run over",
"Stammering",
"Eh...better in some regards, but the animation definitely has it's benefits over the live action. I personally love both, though. Joel has easily become one of my favorite Youtubers this past year or so.",
"I think you may be confusing them for the other guy who is saying every video Joel makes is animated.",
"Every one ends up safe and alive.",
"I literally didn’t speak about ANY of his videos, you mistook and downvoted the wrong guy for no reason.",
"That's a really stupid bit. And I'm not high enough for it to be funny stupid.",
"Never left his girlfriend in the hospital while getting drinks with the boys...as far as I know.",
"I think there's a big difference between reality TV still existing and their heyday in the 00s. In the 00s there was almost nothing else to watch. Reality TV took over pretty much every network, including the educational ones. Starting with shows like breaking bad, and madmen, prestige TV started to take us out of that time. Now we have far more options of what to watch and a lot of really well produced and written TV coming out pretty consistently. That did not use to be the case.",

In this case, it had none, because i didn't really care. I think if i had been trying to be a dick, i might have felt defensive or reactionary.

"As a person who only saw a few episodes because the show was stupid and I just had a crush on one of the blonde chicks (the famous one) and the black haired one, is that what the show was about?",
"Yeah, most of these shows began simultaneously. I think part of the pitch was we wanted a new kind of entertainment for the new millennium. In the UK Big Brother and a show called Castaway began in 2000. Pop Idol and Survivor began in 2001. They all just so happened to be popular because they involved \"normal\" people. Producers cracked a winning formula, so every channel used it and milked it dry, to the point of it becoming cheap, predictable and trashy.",

"This video is gold! Thanks for the link, I find it hard to hold it against the guy.",
"It's called code shifting.\n\nI grew up in a predominantly black inner city neighborhood. This still comes out in me 25 years later as an old white dude once in a while. And yes, it's quite cringey but you don't notice it until afterwards while you kick yourself.\n\nNot saying for sure this is what it is here, but it can be difficult moving from communicating from one culture to another while trying to \"fit in\".

You’d speak to 5 year olds the same way you speak to your mates and the same way you’d speak to a job interviewer? I doubt it.

"\"A great moment in civic compromise.\"",
">Goddammit, can't you see what he's done? He's legalized drugs!\n\nRIP Hampsterdam",
"WMD. We got the WDM",
"Yo Black tops. Pandemic… got that pandemic",
"This must be one of them contrapment things!",
"A wire scene that isn't the chess one, the fuck one, or the nailgun one? Nice.",
"You completely missed the point if you think it's as easy an explanation as that.",
"This is Baltimore, gentlemen. The Gods will not save you!",
"The solution is they don’t go as hard on the drugs I guess? I’m not sure I get it either",
"I know, right? I was preparing myself to read the insightful comments explaining the difference between Cadillac and Lexus.",
"Eh, yes and no. That's the point of the final scene in S03 when Bubbles and Bunny have their sole interaction. Bubs reminisces for a moment about how a dope fiend wouldn't have to worry about getting busted by the poh-leece in Hampsterdam. Colvin responds, \"Yeah, it was a good thing, wasn't it?\" And Bubbles' face changes and he says, \"Nah, I didn't mean that.\"\n\nThe point being that drugs are, as another character put it, \"A force of fucking nature.\" Even tolerance, or at the least an alternative to the militarized response of the Drug War, doesn't create a good outcome. Hampsterdam became its own hellscape in spite of the right intentions. And while it may have posed a solution of sorts when compared to mass incarceration, it was still a far cry from treatment and actually tackling the larger societal issues of addiction and poverty. Hampsterdam was ultimately a failed experiment because it didn't solve any of the ailments of the Baltimore drug game, it merely corralled them to a new centralized spot and, arguably, worsened and heightened them within those confines. Misery wasn't solved it was only relocated.\n\nMy two cents.",
"Thank you for speaking better than me. If op has the solution to police and drugs, we would love to hear it.",
"Yeah, that pandemic escaped Hamsterdam",
"Decriminalization is the solution.",
"Oh sorry, I meant that the captain is telling them to think of drugs as a lesser issue and to focus on real problems like murder and stuff so they don’t get put into dangerous situations for such trivial things",
"the most realistic part of this season is when all the rank & file cops get really mad about Colvin's decriminalization efforts because it means they can't beat up on the corner kids anymore.",
"Decriminalization and treatment infrastructure.",
"True. Good point. But that's a tactical analysis. That last scene I mentioned is meant to hammer home that Bunny missed the forest for the trees and it's the learned wisdom of a character like Bubbles that provides the perfect voice for that sentiment of ground level, lived horror.",

"Ri chea, ri chea",
"SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEiiiiIIiiiIEeeeeet-ah",
"Do feds still raid dispensaries?",
"No",
"I need to watch the wire again. It’s been long enough.",
"Apparently they raided medical dispensaries in Washington state this July so I'm not going to hold my breath. It needs to be at a Federal level and for more than just weed.",
"Small correction; Bubs doesn't say \"Nah, I didn't mean that\", he says \"Nah, I'm just saying\" (https://youtu.be/UBMZU0dJKZ8?t=248). It sounds less like \"I disagree that it was a good thing\" and more like \"regardless of whether it was a good thing, there's no point dwelling on it.\"",
"> and thinking that will solve most or all of the problems, much easier than expected \n\nI think anyone that brings up a suggestion, honestly does not mean it to be easy. We all know making changes like these aren't easy. No one asking to put in policy, or a change to system, doesn't go \"hey, if we do this, it's like an instant fix!\" \n\nBut decriminalization has worked. Other countries are making it work. The war on drugs made things a lot harder, and complicated. The work to undo all that damage is going to take years. And it's going to cost money. But it would be a long term investment versus what we have now.\n\n> i think everyone is making decriminalization, and thinking that will solve most or all of the problems, much easier than expected.\n\nWhat solution would you prefer over decriminalization?",
"Civic compromise? Sounds like a dumb ass law that isn’t worth enforcing",
"I'm surprised the Omar court scene with \"I got the gun, you got the briefcase...all in the game though\" doesn't get posted here more often.",
"\"MLK was assassinated, therefore the March on Washington was a huge waste of time.\"\n\nThis guy, probably",
"Decriminalization, treatment infrastructure, and a harm reduction approach.",
"Except that they made a point that they were able to reach people there and have addiction programs, clean needles, contraceptives, etc all to a very hard to reach population. It was better than the alternative.\n\nThe point you're making is what it really was before the priest guy visited and they were able to set up all those outreach people. \n\nIt was still fucked but it was already fucked plus more violence, fucking up innocent people's lives, and addicted people being even more marginalized and being lost through the cracks.\n\nAlso you have the quote wrong.",
"i’ve never seen this show but i may have to take the dive.",
"I hear that the WMD is “the bomb.”",
"... that's the whole point.",
"This scene (and this character) aren't until Season 4. But the writing is this smart all the way through. You'll know after an episode or two if it's for you.",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS6pE88Xg3s",
"So that's kind of it. This is one of my favorite scenes from the show but there's some context missing here. The major has grown tired of the way policing is being done. \n\nThe corner boys as they call them have replaced the guys on the corner drinking. Now they are selling drugs but not in very large numbers. Now like before with the alcohol the police couldn't just drive by and ignore it. So they're hitting these corners. Getting arrests and confiscating some drugs. Which looks great on stat sheets but overall isn't doing shit as the amounts they're confiscating are so low. It's so bad that a lot of resources went into an undercover buy where an officer was nearly shot and killed. For three small vials. \n\nSo the major is saying a \"paper bag\" is needed for this to. That way cops aren't wasting their time on the low level shit and not actually getting anywhere with fixing the issue. So that way they can do actual police work. Not just with murder and other forms of violence. Make connections with the community. Get a better idea on what's going on and whose involved that actually matters. It's the major trying to think of something new as the current way of doing things aren't working. \n\nThere's another great scene later in the season where the major lectures one of the main supporting characters as they're terrible at actual police work. How it's not necessarily his fault as he came through with the war on drugs. With how that ruined the job.",
"except he explicitly described how it was a problem for them to just not enforce it. it hurt their fee fees and they had to do something about it",
"Watch Season 1 for sure, and if its your thing, watch all the rest. Plot quality varies season to season, but the character plot and continuation is excellent.",
"nail gun",
"I tried to get into it, but the first few episodes of season 1 were rather slow, when does it pick up? Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood at the time IDK\n\nEdit: Gonna give it another chance",
"The Wire didn't properly hook me until about episode 9, now it's my joint favourite show ever made. So much rewatch value it's insane",
"Honestly I don't think the show ever \"picks up\". It's not meant to. If you're expecting Breaking Bad, you'll be disappointed. I think of it more of an essay of the struggles the lower and working class are forced to deal with. It's a fantastic show though.",
"The Wire is a slow burn altogether. Even the murders tend to be quick hits, not heart-pounding action scenes. You're watching to see how various characters act on both sides of the law as the police try to get proof together.\n\nOne of the themes of the show is that the names of the players change, but the game stays the same. So nothing earth-shaking happens. It's individual dramas inside a realistically-portrayed system.",
"Hardly ever comment but I feel obligated. My wife and I started watching it 2-3 months ago and have watched 1-2 episodes every night after work. We can hardly ever agree on something to watch but this show is honestly just great television and an amazing plot. Would highly recommend. Agree with other comments that it starts a little slow but it definitely picks up after 2-3 episodes if you stick with it (and it’s worth struggling through)",
"Because he's an \"Officer of the Law\" so despite his opinion he is still there to uphold it. It seems like they are highlighting this particular issue to show the disconnect between legislation and law enforcement. They essentially are forced to waste time dealing with blatant disregard for the law until the bag eliminated the notion that you can do whatever you damn well please. If you show compliance to the law in that particular manner it show you acknowledge it and respect the Officers enough not to waste their time. At least that's my takeaway, there's a moral dilemma with the whole \"just following orders\" mentality but thats a whole other conversation.",
"The show is like a beautiful game of chess. Sure the act of just moving pieces isnt exciting, but its about how those moves connect and build on each other. I didnt really get hooked until around halfway through the first season, and it only gets better. I truly believe its the greatest television show ever made",
"This is in season 3",
"huh? that’s not the nail gun scene. the nail gun scene is with snoop and the home depot guy.",
"i can’t believe people like you are allowed to vote.",
"Haha “we would lose our respect”\n\nNo one respects police… we’re afraid or hateful of you.",
"You're right. Officers of the Law definitely never selectively enforce other laws that don't hurt their fee fees. \nUsing a paper bag isn't respecting the officer. It's trying not to get hassled by someone who's feels like you living your life is disrespectful to him.",
"I can't believe these snowflakes get guns",
"this doesn’t make any sense",
"Wait what was the paper bag for drugs? Asking for a friend",
"oh I guess I was not clear, what I meant was that just like that omar court scene, I see the nail gun snoopy shopping scene posted regularly here.",
">!an area where people to sell and do drugs and police look the other way!<",
"ah. yes. that was not clear at all hahaha",
"I think just how quick the hits are is the most jarring. These characters you have grown to know and care about just... die.\n\nAnd then things just go on. Because that's the game. No one really matters to the game. And the show makes that point without saying a word just by how it handles death in the show.\n\nSuper interesting.",
"He made a deal with the dealers- and without the approval of higher ups.\n\nHe designated this one small zone for all of the drug deals to take place. And the police wouldn't hassle them. But if they dealt anywhere else in the city the police would come down on them with everything they have.\n\nIt's a really interesting experiment that this guy lead without any approval or permission. You'll have to watch if you want to see how it turns out or the details. It's too much to go through in anything less than a PHD thesis paper.",
"I'm not understanding, did he just tell the cops to look the other way for drug deals?",
"Yes but more than that the police designated a district in the city where drug dealing would go unpoliced. You sell there then no prosecution so that drug dealing wouldn't happen anywhere else in the city.\n\nIn the series, at that time, this was like a test and the upper police hierarchy weren't informed of it. It became what you would suspect. On one side all the drug and gang violence was contained to one district and crime across the wider city fell massively. On the other hand the drug district became an open air prison for those dying of addiction and the lifestyle for getting money to pay for it.",
"Ah, OK. My bad. I can never remember if the Hamsterdam plot is part of the City Hall season or the Schools season.",
"Thank you kindly, another strong case made for me to watch the show.",
"To be honest, if you can force yourself to the end of season 1, you'll know whether or not you're going to love it. The first season is particularly slow but as others said, it doesn't really ever change too much. But by the end of season 1 you'll know whether you're connecting with characters and the storyline to enjoy it.",
"Bunny’s other speech to Carver about not being shit as a police officer was great too",
"I highly recommend it. The show does an excellent job of showing inner city gang vs police and the complexity of lives on both of those sides of the law. \n\nThat \"paper bag\" situation comes quite a way into the series when it's clear there really is no way to properly deal with drug abuse and the underlying factors for it that take up almost all of police time.\n\nEdit: and thank you for the silver. Much appreciated :)",

"The dang bag teleports.",
"Methadone mile exists and Portugal's drug efforts are a more civilized version of what hamsterdam intended so it's not like there is no precedent. Wouldn't try it on fucking Baltimore though. The city is simply too poor.",

"It’s the greatest television show ever made.",
"It wasn't solely about the beating up part --- those were easy arrests that handily increased a cops stats. Picking up corner boys is a much easier gig than actual meaningful law enforcement.",
"Chess. Best analogy I’ve heard yet for the show. Very true.",
"We are talking about this particular clip of a TV show buddy, not real life and your \"fee fees\" about police.",
"Oh right, I forgot how this show is totally fiction and isn't based on real life at all. I forgot how they didn't have people who actually lived those stories advising on the script. I might have remembered something like that if it was the biggest thing on tv at the time. What a silly ass I am.",

"Nah the Simpsons draw inspiration from popular culture.\nNot sure exactly the origin but in old movies it’s a well known technique to do the close up zoom in a characters face with dramatic music. It’s a good way to convey shock for example.\n\nThe music from the dramatic chipmunk clip is from 1974 movie Young Frankenstein. I don’t think that had a close up zoom but it’s certainly not the only example of the kinda “DUN DUN DUUUN” music used for dramatic moments\n\nEdit: I just looked it up and apparently that musical device is called a sting and was first used on radio dramas. The music would be used during shocking moments. That carried over into movies.\n\nAlso remembered another Simpsons moment that used the similar device. [The shifty dog](https://youtu.be/T55ArHjeR1c)",

"Just pizza, no nachos!",
"Now no probably not, a few years back I can say for certain I could cause I used to on a Simi regular basis when I was an absolute trash person. Hard labour for work and a hardcore raider in wow (and the mentality that comes with it)meant it was a good day if I ate more than once a day and 20 minutes would have been the amount of time to take care of all your bio needs.\n\nI will say I am honestly kinda disgusted that it was so easy to do back then and wouldn't want to go back",

"totally doable under the right circumstances",

"I think you’re being very hard on yourself mate, you held a job and had a hobby! How many of us can say we eat healthy 🤷",
"See thats the thing it was the fact that I knew and held my self accountable for that, yes it can hurt some but honestly we need to understand that there are different answers to help different people. Coming to terms with that and accepting that I was living a terribly unhealthy life style and seeing what ramifications it had on my life is what helped me push beyond that. It was that very real very raw criticism of myself that lead to me wanting to fix it and since then I went from that to where I am now ( quick recap I dropped somewhere around 60lbs down to \\~220, physically fit enough to run 10k twice a week, I get to enjoy junk when I want it but know how to make good tasting reasonably healthy food on a regular basis I am no longer prediabetic went back to school and got a biomechanical engineering degree and in all regards actually liking life)"

"Awesome!",
"Many scientifically inclined people have probably seen some footage about the ITER fusion reactor being built in France in an international effort with most of the major countries of the world being involved. \n\n\nThe Wendelstein 7-x fusion device isn't a tokamak like ITER but instead a stellarator. \n\n\nThis video doesn't just explain the basics of the Wendelstein stellarator but also has amazing visuals.",
"What's with the creepy computer-generated voice-over?",
"this is sci-fi as foock.",
"This is the 3D animation I wanna learn how to make. [I've only made](https://youtu.be/kMCfZL9HgSk) sub-par animations like this though. Gotta step up my game.",
"Is it predicted they will actually be able to do this or is this just gunna be a huge waste of money, time, and resources?",
"It's not computer-generated",
"That's fuckin' badass.",
"Naw, they're just fucking around",
"Still researching. The ITER is supposed to be energy positive though once it's completed (but it won't yet produce electricity). We still have to do a LOT of research. As far as I know the Wendelstein 7-X is a essentially a research device to gather data (that's also why it has that many sensors) so that we might eventually be able to properly use fusion to generate electricity. It's a very complex field with a lot of hard problems, not only for theoretical physicists but also engineers, mathematicians etc..",
"Yes, you are an idiot",
"Weird, maybe it's just subtle differences in intonation, or compression used on the audio; it sounded like bitrate drops, similar to artifacts in neural networks trained to reproduce prolific voices. Youtube is now littered with infotainment videos with computer generated speech so I was thinking it was one of those... my bad.",
"Did they claim to know the temperature of the core of the sun? I feel like there is a lot we don't know about our sun.",
"This is pretty awesome research. I just wish people on the internet would stop pretending that fusion power is just around the corner and will solve all our problems, like, tomorrow.\n\nAs the video says, this entire hyper-complex thing is only there to be a proof of concept of a *part* of fusion power. We have so much more to go on this.",
"The things they are calculating and engineering to make tokamaks and stellarators are MUCH MUCH more difficult than calculating an estimate for the core temperature of the sun.\n\nWe have roughly known the core temperature of the sun for at least 70 years if not an entire century.\n\n\nThat's not anything new. Building up models to simulate the interior of the sun is far easier than almost anything they are doing for the fusion reactors currently being built. \n\nThe sun is mostly a giant ball of hydrogen. It's not exactly that complicated.",
"It's certainly not computer generated but I personally prefer the [German version and voice actor](https://youtu.be/24k3KqxtfqM) a LOT over the English one.",
"Yeah for example ITER has been in development for literally decades and in the active building process since 2007. The first plasma is supposed to be generated in 2025 and the first net positive fusion reaction is currently planned for the 2030s. \n\nEven if that works perfectly it will be decades till they will have engineered and built new reactors and it would take even longer to become widespread worldwide.",
"Galaxy class bagpipes.\n\nLawrence Livermore NL got close to ignition at the NIF in August.",
"I'm just learning Revit and that building exterior made me jealous",
"ITER has been going since the late 1980's. Many years ago it was corrupted into a construction cartel scheme. The 2025 first plasma is just latest of many postponements spanning decades. The most optimistic projection is for the next demo build to be by 2050, he even that would require a much different trajectory than current. \n\nLike you, I dislike the delusionary attitudes around things like this, and especially the nuclear power propaganda industry.",
"Thanks for the reply!",
"This is one of my favorite articles for anyone curious about these projects: [A Star in a Bottle](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/03/03/a-star-in-a-bottle)",
"Question, wouldn’t fusion have similar cost drawbacks to fission reactors? Namely, the upfront facility cost?",
"Scientists are amazing. That's why it's a little infuriating when people say \"I'm doing my own research\".",
"Well we still have a LOT of research to do but potentially it could generate a lot more energy while not having any kind of nuclear waste and also there is no risk of a meltdown accident. If there was a breach the reactions would simply stop.",
"Since there would be no need for a large containment structure for example it should be much cheaper.\n\nAlso, while producing solar energy thankfully has become dirt cheap, storing solar energy in large quantities to supply entire countries for a meanigful time isnt. Fission and fusion are clean energy that can work independently of external conditions.",
"It's missing a Turbo Encabulator.",
"ITER doing their Tokamak and Wendelstein is doing Stellarator. Both doing important work in furthering humanity knowledge in Fusion.",
"whats the difference mainly in these projects?",
"Lol coward",
"lol what?"

"I've always wanted Total War: Dune someone send this video to a person in power at Creative Assembly so they can have a clear outline of how much a Total War game in the Dune universe would rock.",
"It doesnt get really get to Arrakis until 11:50.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/EaDxLCKFvlE?t=710",
"Blows my mind that there's been two movies, a tv mini series, and interviews with Frank Herbert, and people still won't pronounce certain names from the books the way they're meant to be pronounced.",
"For example?\n\nI read the book back in 1990 and even my Dad and I argued about Fre-men",
"This is one of those times when reading the books would be a good idea. The story is much more complex and rich vs what a movie or even a tv series (God forbid) can cover.",
"Well the way he says Arrakis, I know he's British, but he pronounces everything else correctly so it's weird.",
"Books dont have pronunciation guides (usually) and the two movies pronounce quite a lot differently.",
"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that all the movies/tv series had the correct pronunciation, only that there have been some, and along with his interviews.",
"dune 2000 while you wait?",
"A crummy comment",
"He pronounced exactly how I pronounced it on my first time reading it, and how I've heard everyone else pronounce it. How do you suggest it's supposed to be pronounced? I'm curious.",
"Beware: Down into the dune Universe you shall go.\n\nGet the Dune encyclopedia and check out some awesome podcasts, it gets crazy detailed.",
"I love a series with some deep lore…. Really enjoyed the film and looking to dive into the books….. just as soon as “The Expanse” series concludes (final novel next month, final novella next spring)",
"I don't understand how FTL would work after the butlerian jihad. They had the engines from before, but presumably you also need some heavy tech to navigate at FTL which would be destroyed/outlawed. And you can't have Space Guild Navigators without melange. So how did FTL and specifically the discovery of Arrakis happen?",
"You could have covered a lot more than the current adaptation did though. \nEven Lynch managed to do it.",
"They used the FTL drives but without AI assistance or the Navigators there was a high, around 30%, failure rate where you'd hit a planet/black hole. So space travel still happened but it was very dangerous.",
"https://youtu.be/n9xhJrPXop4?t=79",
"Does it contain spoilers?",
"Just watched the movie last night and gotta say, as someone going in blind, it wasn't confusing. I think it did a great job explaining things but then again, I don't know what was left out",
"Not really. It kind of concludes where the film begins",
"I haven't found time to watch the new release yet, but I can guarantee A LOT was left out. Dune has Tolkien levels of worldbuilding, and there's just no way to fit all that lore in a single film.\n\ne for the downvoters: I'm not judging the movie. My point is just that these are stories with so much depth they'll never fit on screen. Doesn't mean you can't make a kick-ass adaptation. Jackson left volumes of lore out of LOTR, still one of the greatest series of films ever made. And from the reviews it sounds like Villeneuve has done Herbert justice.",
"I don't know, maybe I'm an idiot but that sounded the exact same as the British guy to me... I'm no pronunciation expert though.",
"1000%, a video game adaptation of this series is a must. I hope the movie is successful enough to encourage it.",
"Fair, but I was told to expect to be confused and I wasn't. So whatever was left was well done",
"He pronounces the second a as \"awh\". A-Raw-Kiss. That's wrong.",
"Still waiting on Alt-Shift-X to do a Dune series",
"I mean your comment just reads, I haven't watched the movie but let me tell you all my dislike for movie adaptions.\n\nLol okay",
"I think youre reading into it. All I said was that theres more in the books than you can fit in a movie, totally neutral about the quality of the movie itself. Its not really an opinion, just a fact of literally every adaptation. Maybe your just eager to sjoot down anything remotely negative, but I dont think its negative at all, just the nature of the mediums.",
"So A-Raw-Kiss is wrong, and it should be A-Rah-Kiss?\n\nI feel that could be shocked up to accent honestly."

"I got vaccinated back in late April and had my second shot of Pfizer I think around May 15th. I have covid right now. I don't feel like I'm dying. I can't taste or smell and a general cold feeling. That's really it.",
"Not feeling like you're dying is good. May I ask about what precautions you took prior to being infected, other than being vaccinated about five months ago? Like, were you going to restaurants and behaving pretty normally? And do you live in a low vaccination area?",
"Sounds like the vaccine is doing its job! Keeping you out of the hospital, keeping you from dying. COVID definitely sucks! I hope you get well soon!",
"No I don't go out to eat or anything. I work every night tho. I ended up catching it from someone who I don't believe is vaccinated.",
"I seriously don’t get why this is such a big issue, the vaccine is out for anyone who wants it. Whoever chooses to get vaccinated is protected, so what’s the problem? If you’re high risk then you absolutely should get it. I will say this though, now that the vaccine is fully approved they should remove covid related medical from what’s covered under your insurance. But the vaccine doesn’t protect anyone but yourself",
"> Whoever chooses to get vaccinated is protected\n\nWe're much *more* protected but the efficacy wanes, hence the need for boosters now. \n\n> But the vaccine doesn’t protect anyone but yourself\n\nThat's false. Does the polio vaccine protect no one but yourself? It doesn't also protect—indirectly—unvaccinated free-riders when enough people are vaccinated in a community?",
"Nah. Thanks though",
"Everyone entity is pushing the vaccine on us but no one is liable for your injuries.",
"The chance of being injured by Covid is far greater than the chance of being injured by a vaccine.",
"Why is no one taking responsibility for adverse reactions on a safe vaccine in your opinion?",
"The premise of your question is false. The conversation is over.",
"Yeah hard to argue for pushing a vaccine on people when the manufacturers don’t accept liability or no one else. \n\nHave a good day buddy.",
"No, it's not. When you get a polio vaccine, you have a risk from that which is far less than the risk from polio. Your body may be weird. So what? The maker of the polio vaccine should pay your medical bill in very rare instance where the polio vaccine causes harm?",
"We are not talking about a polio vaccine. The two aren’t even comparable. \n\nStay on topic.",
"We're talking about a vaccine maker being held to account for your body having an anomaly, actually. When you get a flu vaccine or hepatitis vaccine or polio vaccine or HPV vaccine and your body has a weird reaction, then it's on you like any other medical abnormality. The Covid vaccines have been tried and proven effective in tens of millions of people, if not hundreds of millions at this point.",
"No, it's up to the company with millions of dollars in government money coming their way for research and testing to ensure that all adverse reactions are identified and documented appropriately. If you get surprised by a side effect of any vaccine or medication, you can absolutely put that on the makers. It's not \"on you\" if they don't identify a side effect or potential for adverse reaction in their medical product. (For clarity, I am **not** saying that there are unknown side effects in this particular case, I am speaking about liability in general)"

"Jack links is nasty",
"He is comparing dry weight versus weight before it's dry. His 3lbs could've dried down to 1 lb. It's still a big savings to dry your own but he's also leaving out cost of other ingredients, materials, time and energy. I'm not saying it's a wash but just saying it's not as crazy as he makes it to be. I have a dehydrator and rarely make jerky, it takes planning and a couple days to make between marinating and drying. It's not often I want jerky but when I do it's already beyond the point of planning a couple days of making it. Would be ideal if I made it ahead if time and saved it but I don't have self control to keep jerky around the house, usually goes quick and you want to share with friends",
"He compared a wet steak's weight with the store-bought dry jerky. That's such a stupid comparison, given how he then tries to remove as much of that liquid weight as possible. How much did his final result come out to? Lastly: running a smoker for that long also costs a lot of money. All the spices he used cost a lot of money.\n\nCalling it a scam and then halfassing the argument like this is clickbaity as fuck.",
"Yeah, its the kinda thing you want to do if you know you're gonna have a bunch of friends over for a party or something.",
"Agreed. If it really was a huge scam, then what's stopping some random jerky company from charging half as much and completely disrupting the market? It doesn't happen because the price is competitive.",
"running a smoker for that long probably costs about a dollar or two",
"I mean if I had a +$800 grill, I'd be making more than just jerky.",
"Ya my $40 amazon dehydrator works just fine for this.",
"Agreed. I fucking love jerky, and have the same problem. Doesn't matter if you slap a 3lb box of it in front of me; it's disappearing. I decided to do the research since I figured the same thing, that I could save a lot of money making my own. Taking out the time investment, as you said it's not as large of an impact as you'd think.\n\nSmokers are kinda expensive, meat's kinda expensive and it takes time. All in all, as you said, you'll still save some money, but it's still a decent investment to get everything started and meat isn't cheap.",
"oven works fine too according to video.",
"It's like they have a protein based, red translucent gel they pump into molds until it sets.\n\nI for the life of me cannot imagine what they do to meat to get it like that, I know I can't replicate it at home, not that it's a goal, legitimately curious.",

"This. I saw this video of this guy fighting this other guy and he was using his fists the whole time.",
"Sounds like a line an old boxing coach uses over and over when teaching kids",
"I like watching Mike Tyson talk about boxing.",
"His fath can’t hit me*",
"Just look for muscle twitch and react. I got this.",
"*The Spanish Inquisition has entered chat*",
"I was kind of expecting an insane rant about how some other boxer was so shitty and he was gonna kill him in their upcoming bout and somehow \"his face can't hit me\" would be thrown in there, was pleasantly surprised.",
"That’s some Cus D’Amato wisdom right there",
"I also noticed he has a speech impediment. Hope making fun of it made you feel better about yourself.",
"Says the guy who bit off part of an ear.",
"“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!”",
"Crazy! But surely the entirety of the fist, right? Not just one edge or anything really wacky?",
"I wish Mike had about a decade more with Cus. Cus was his father, would've kept him on the right path, would've prevented the shit that the absolute Scum Bag, Don King, got Mike involved with.",
"He was just vibing",
"Man, this guy could have been the GOAT.... But surrounded himself with some really nasty people.",
"neither of them were edging. They weren't really worried about sexual stuff at the time.",
"pretty fucking ironic thing for tyson to say himself",
"Mike Tysons greatest strength wasn't his punch. That was great, but his true power was that he was coachable. He listened to his coaches and trainers. \n\n Then he started listening to Don King...",
"He’s the most deadly fighter to ever step into a boxing ring. The most feared. The GOAT conversation can be held elsewhere, but no one can deny the terror that was entering into the ring opposite Mike Tyson.",
"\"Mikey! You got the sheer punchitude to discombobulate any opponent in that ringely-dingely!\"\n\n\"Yeth thir, mithter Don thir! Now where's my Tiger?\"",
"Seriously?\n\nI have a stammer. People can't make fun of that either I suppose?",
"So true. Cue brought out the best in him, Don King brought out the worst in him.",
"what a great question",
"True. Holyfield was throwing hella headbutts.",
"Evander Holyfield's melon enters the chat.",
"What's the tldr on that? I'm not familiar",
"Why would they. What's the joke",
"how is that related to boxing?",
"sound easy but you have to consider the speed at witch a pro boxer throw punches, and he was someone who used bob and weave technique. \n\nif you see a twitch of a muscle you don't have the time to think to react, it has to be ingrained with countless hours of practice, so yeah telling you to watch for the twitch of the muscle will do nothing for you. \n\nalso some people look at the hips as mush punches start from there. but yeah it depends a lot on the fighter style",
"Sir, this is a Wendy's",
"Cus = heart-of-gold coach-from-Rocky type guy \nDon = actual multiple murderer",
"Basically King convinced tyson to fire his trainers, and he stole money from tyson, and other fighters.",
"Yeah I wasn’t serious. I’m not quite delusional enough to think could react with anywhere near the same speed as Mike. Hell, I lost half of the Uno Showdown games I just played with my kid.",
"No modern talkshow/latenight hosts can even come close to Dick Cavett.",
"No. Boxthing? Maybe.",
"I don't think anyone gets the real irony here. Mike Tyson's career ended when Evander Holyfield started headbutting Mike over and over again during a fight.",
"It's some sort of weird bot.",
"well even then, but that apparently doesn't draw ratings. He is a treasure, currently alive at 84 yo. Had to check.",
"Thanks for ruining it with the title",
"NECESSARRRRY",
"It would have been so awesome if Dick Cavett head-butted him right there.",
"Punch through the pain son.\n\nPunch through the pain…",
"Just wait for that [fight-or-flight feeling](https://youtu.be/9zp5lxmudRE) to kick in.",
"Came here to look for this. Frustrated Tyson so much he started biting.",
"I love that an entire generation thinks urine is sterile from that one joke. Life pro tip, urine is the waste filtered out by kidneys, no it is not sterile [link](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3957746/). It is not sterile in the bladder, it’s not sterile in the urethra, it’s not sterile anywhere. Old studies thought urine was sterile in the bladder but that has since been disproven with better analysis/detection methods. TheMoreYouKnowStar.gif",
"but you also won half. I believe in you. go fight Mike Tyson",
"Whatev. Bear Gryhlllys or whatev his name is drank it. Good to go. Take yer would be gif n shuv it",
"Yeah but poop is definitely sterile.",
"\"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.\"\n\nMike Tyson",
"Ha, a pretty good quote. Not as good as \"everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth\", but definitely one worth remembering.",
"I don't know anything about the sport. Is that legal?",
"That's a lobe blow",
"For real!?",
"Sir, this is a Wendy's",
"It's not",
"Should have hired Bob Loblaw",
"He also had a fantastic cartoon",
"Bob Loblaw?? Have you even read his law blog?",
"So if you square up against Mike Tyson going for a headbutt is your best shot since hes not watching your face!",
"That makes sense. The only time urine is sterile, is when it comes from the butt.",
"I feel like there’s a high chance that all I’d be doing is making my face go faster into his fist.",
"Oh yeah. Don King is a piece of shit even by notoriously lax boxing standards. He also (allegedly) snuck weights into his fighters' gloves, stole tons of money from them, gambled on his own fights, and, yes, was convicted of killing two people. He's the scum of the Earth.",
"I wonder how many more factoids there are that can trace their origin to a line from a movie.",
"Says you. Getting punched in the face is the only way I can even get off any more.",
"He still doesn't know who Jon Africa is.",
"How short is this host? Tyson is only 5'10\"",
"He probably wasn’t taking snow-bumps as of yet.",
"Except for the domestic violence, rape, and illegal hardcore drug use.",
"Yeah Mike Tyson is not smart enough to make up a line like that, he heard that millions of times I bet.",
"I can't even get it up without attaching my nuts to a car battery.",
"Holyfield enters the chat.",
"haha! Yeah.. pretty much!\n\nMike Tyson - \"His face wanted to hit my fist. So I let it\"",
"Mike took it easy on him, all things considered. Holyfield should just be glad Tyson didn't follow up on that promise to eat his kids. Iron Mike was merciful that day.",
"Yup, that was some dirty fighting they were letting Holyfield get away with there. I saw it broadcast live. \n\nFirst he head butted him on one eye. Tyson could barely see out of that eye after that. Then in the next round he was going for the other eye. The ref wasn't doing shit. Just giving it to Holyfield in the dirtiest way possible.\n\nIt's quite understandable why Tyson bit him.",
"Seriously. Imagine having so little self respect that you've just accepted that people are going to make fun of you.",
"Obviously not familiar with face to foot style.",
"Well yeah obviously.",
"Heavyweight champ at the age of 20, Won his first 19 fights by knockout, most in the first round.",
"F A C T S",
"Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist.",
"He skews younger",
"If you're a cop you have to tell me.",
"Intellectually he's quite dumb, but he's really self-aware and knows to listen to good advice. He passes the Dunning-Kruger test. He's very introspective, few people would make it through the horrible hand he was dealt the way he has.\n\nDude voices himself in a cartoon where half the joke is that he's stupid af and the other half is Norm MacDonald as a fucking pigeon. Mike Tyson irl got his boxing start beating someone up for killing a pigeon, and he actually takes care of thousands of pigeons as a hobby and agreed to do the cartoon only on the condition that it included pigeons. Please give him some respect.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC-V9gxqR9M",
"Dude, thanks for reminding me of this promo. Had to go rewatch it.",
"What about while it's stored in the balls?",
"His voice is amazing. If terms and conditions were read by Dick Cavett I might actually listen to them.",
"Read the court case years later written by a lawyer. It's an interesting story, about the prosecution and defense lawyers, the jury, and the details of what happened. \n\nhttps://www.indianapolismonthly.com/longform/down-for-the-count-lawyers-look-mike-tyson-rape-trial",
">*I love that an entire generation thinks urine is sterile from that one joke*\n\nI'm the generation that grew up with this movie and I don't even know what you're talking about. So I dunno how accurate your assessment is.",
"try dodging deez nutz!",
"But I get all my life lessons from comedies.\n\nAfter watching Billy Madison, I put shampoo on first. Then conditioner to make my hair silky and smoooooth.",
"Thanks for the late night 'snort into my gin and tonic'. Well done.",
"standing next to Cavett makes Tyson look so big when in fact he is only 5'10\" and is the shortest heavy weight champion of the modern era. That is why he mentions he is used to punching up because all his opponents were much taller than him",
"Note to self: If ever confronted by Mike Tyson, use face. He won't expect it.",
"I'm by no means any sort of pro athlete, but I do spar in taekwondo. I also watch shoulders and chest instead of face when sparring. I didn't consciously think this is why, but hearing him say it, that's true... Their face can't hit me",
"I can prove this his face can hit him",
"Well I wasn't expecting THAT.",
"I love the guys who love to talk shit over mayweathers last KO and how floyd did the guy dirty...its like..ugh, did you miss the tons of headbutts before and are we also going to skip over the fact the fight was back on AND floyd let him apologize twice already?",
"What joke are you talking about?",
"Do you want bites? 'Cause this is how you get bites.\n\nContext for the clueless downvoters: Holyfield used multiple illegal headbutts against Tyson but the ref didn't do jack shit about it so Tyson bit him.",
"Honestly Tyson doesn't come out as positive from any reading of that. \n\nHe raped a woman who didn't consent. Lawyers can argue about the law, but making sexual touches to a person who doesn't consent or who withdraws consent is rape or sexual assault. Implied consent and misunderstandings are not defenses to rape.\n\nSure the defense was mishandled by hiring a defense attorney with more experience with federal white collar crime, but it doesn't change the facts of the case. A woman denied consent and faced sexual injuries as a result of an encounter with the defendent.\n\nHis life since then could have been filled with counseling and personal transformation, and that's good, but it doesn't change the fact of what he did.",
"I can't stop laughing. Lol",
"well Mike is just flat out wrong here.\n\nmany people hit his fists with their faces",
"An immediate fear of getting hurt, sure I'll give it to Tyson or Liston. However, boxers are no strangers to getting punched, and even getting hit by a powerhouse isn't the most terrifying thing to a boxer (been boxing for over 20 years). IMO Prime Ali before his grueling bout with the US government was the most terrifying boxer in history. Ali inflicted his own kind of terror. The terror Ali instilled in his opponents was that no matter what they did hitting Ali was like trying to catch the wind and when they finally managed to get a hit in by some miracle, it did absolutely nothing. The hopelessness felt while having a torrential barrage of punches being thrown at you by a neigh invincible opponent could tear not only your body but your soul to shreds.",
"[necessary?](https://youtu.be/Xm7Bn36NdkA)",
"Instructions unclear, missing one ear now.",
"Seems like bait to scam desperate guys.",
"Tysons HBO special was great! \n\nI could not believe I pretty much watched a 90 min Tyson monolog without getting distracted!",
"His earliest fights are part difficult, part hilarious to watch.\n\nHe was just fighting journeyman guys who boxed as a hobby. One I remember was a Cole miner by trade. \n\nI know you have to start somewhere, but yikes for those guys.",
"I love watching people tell Mike Tyson about his speech impediment",
"Yeah, that's right. It's a really mean thing to make fun of and if you don't understand that I seriously doubt you have a strammer, or if you do it must be very mild.\n\nPeople who grow up having Every Single Person they meet think you're stupid because you can't talk right, they wouldn't be so casual about it.",
"Mike Tyson sounds like a crappy Mike Tyson impersonation.",
"Guarantee you'll be hitting his fist with your face. Easy win!",
"Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face.",
"Look at the post history ... sometimes it claims to a guy, other times claims to be woman. Weird scam whatever it is.",
"RIP Pigeon",
"Bullshit. Tyson was going low towards the end of his career himself. He bit a dudes ear off. He was rubbing heads before he met Hollyfield. In fact Hollyfield and his camp were stating before the fight of the ear bite \"we can fight tyson if he doesn't rub his head\" which is exactly what Tyson did.",
">The most feared.\n\nMost feared at that time, probably, but historically, I think George Foreman was probably the most intimidating to some of the best boxers ever.",
"I would put Foreman above Ali in terms of sheer intimidation/fear inducing.",
">that promise to eat his kids\n\nI believe that threat was made toward Lennox Lewis.",
"lol … Graham Norton is the GOAT, and far better than Cavett ever was. \n\nShit, Cavett isn’t even the best of prior generations. Jack Parr did it better (as did Letterman and Carson), arguably Howard Stern is up there with the best damn interviewers of all time, and Oprah is likely the most respected interviewer of her time. \n\nAnd shit, that isn’t even considering some of the more comedic hosts, like Craig Ferguson and Conan.\n\nlol … Cavett’s most well know interview for gods sake is likely his shit show interview with Richard Pryor. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/ySAu8_diHnw",
"Who had the bright idea to cut off the sides?",
"I haven't looked into it in a while, but I get the impression that hindsight has shown that his rape conviction was kinda mostly a bunch of horseshit.",
"Truth. He's very honest and grounded.",
"Dude, he didn’t rape her if that’s what you are referring to.",
"He was the GOAT. He was the most feared boxer of his time. \n\nWhat you mean to say is he could have been the GOAT for longer.",
"That’s hardly the source of the idea that urine is sterile. There’s also S3E16 of *House* where the main character says it’s sterile. There’s medical videos I found on google from 2016 that talk about extracting sterile urine from a catheter.",
"Well, if you need better detection methods then it is sterile enough.",
"Well, faces CAN bite off ears though...",
"Not knowing much about boxing, this comment interested me. I found [this on google](https://youtu.be/IOH2JBaZETg) for anyone else.",
"Tell that to Evander Holyfield.",
"Probably no question GOAT had he kept up his original Cus led dominance.",
"Dick Cavett is fantastic.",
"I heard a professor once say that urine is filtered blood and, while technically true, I fucking hate everything about that sentence.",
"Just checked my balls. Definately not sterile.",
"I like watching these interviews with boxers. Be it Ali or Tyson. They all have their own way about it.\n\nI always notice that the presenters never keep a high guard when they're fooling around. I'm not a boxer by any means, but I know to keep my guard up.\n\nTyson is right though. The shoulders and hips tell you more than the head. Head and eyes go everywhere, but your body needs a set to commit.",
"Hollyfield fought dirty AF, he was head butting Tyson.",
"I think OP was saying that pretty much everyone from their mid 20s to early 40s think this because they saw Dodgeball, not that it was the first time anyone ever said piss was good to drink.",
"Graham Norton? FFS. He barely interviews people, just plays games with them. I like Norton but he's not the best interviewer by a long way",
"It's weird to see Cavett and Tyson on screen at the same time, because my brain says \"Cavett = 1970s at the *latest\"* and \"Tyson 1990s at the earliest\". Weird how brains work.",
"What if my plan is to get punched in the mouth twice?",
"We go for \"sterile\" samples a lot in the vet field because we can't exactly ask a dog to step into the next room and fill a cup (at least not with reasonable expectations of success). Really what we're looking for is urine that is \"under no other influence than the environment present in the place where the infection might be.\" So urine straight from the bladder via catheter is less sterile than it is Uncontaminated.\n\nA different kind of \"clean.\"",
"Yes, its generally accepted that meeting Cus was the most impactful thing that ever happened to Tyson, followed only by Cus dying.",
"This made me look up how tall he is and I was surprised to learn he's only 5'10\". Would have thought he'd have a lot more than 3 inches on me. Can't imagine how deadly he'd be if he was 6'5\" or something.",
"It's mostly water so it works in a pinch and would be better than something with like parasites in it. But Bear also showed ways you can filter the water from your pee before you just piss into your mouth.",
"she lied about being raped before. i dont trust that woman. theres a good youtube video about the court case",
"\"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouf.\"",
"[“Suddenly I got hungry, and his head looked like a pie so I bit his ear”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0B2Qb5xuBgQ)",
"He wasn't even the greatest of his own era tho",
"A good interviewer gets the best out of his interviewee. Find me someone who gets more out of his guests.",
"I’ll be totally honest, I like Mike Tyson and I like watching his interviews and stuff, but I hate his podcast only because he talks over the guest so much that it’s borderline annoying. Like his interview with Wayne Brady where Wayne tried to talk about his past and Mike wouldn’t let him get a word in edgewise. It just irks the hell outta me when I see that in a podcast/show.",
"Don't know if this was a copypasta, but it was an interesting read.",
"Being taller would have likely hindered Tyson. By being shorter than many of his opponents, it meant that blocking body shots from Tyson required lowering their arms.\n\nIt also meant that punching for Tyson’s body meant punching downwards if you were a taller opponent, and his peek-a-boo style defense made frontal punches to the body very difficult from an elevated position since his arms and hands would be in the way (and you’re both wearing gloves- so punches don’t really slip through). \n\nIn many of his fights, he throws a couple of devastating body shots that cause his opponent to bring an arm down to protect themselves- only for him to land a shot to the head, which usually knocked them down or out. \n\nThe type of boxer Tyson had trouble with was tall guys who were also fast, who would throw jabs and keep their distance. Those kinds of boxers were also fast enough to maneuver around and try to throw a jab at Tyson from the sides. Being bigger wouldn’t have helped Tyson against those kind of fighters - in those kind of fights, it’s a matter of choosing the right moment to use energy to close the distance and attack. \n\nThe thing that would have made the difference for Tyson in my opinion is if Cus D’Amato had lived another 5 or 10 years..",
"I think Steveo tried that on one of the comedy central roasts and it didn't work out too well for him",
"Ha ha thats funny. Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist and a funny guy",
"Don King stomped a guy to death before working with Tyson",
"People also picked it up from Fight Club, and that came out in 99 \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-LwMHFJ7Hs",
"It’s so obvious it hurts a bit but actually never thought of that. Never engaged in a fight neither that must explain",
"RIP.",
">The type of boxer Tyson had trouble with was tall guys who were also fast, who would throw jabs and keep their distance. \n\nThat's exactly how Lennox Lewis took out David Tua back in the day.",
"For real, if every dumb person was as smart (or, at least, as *good*) as Mike Tyson, the world would be a better place.",
"Norton is great for getting human moments out of celebrities but that's not the same as interviewing where the focus is on information.",
"I haven't been beaten with jumper cables for *years*.",
"Brawled his way up from the boxcars, did he?",
"I am bleeding, making me the victor.",
"Boxing is purely and 100% punches, and only above the belt.",
"It’s not from one joke. Read the study abstract.\n\n>\twhile the majority of these (48/52 [92%]) were reported as no growth at 103 CFU/ml by the clinical microbiology laboratory using the standard urine culture protocol.\n\nWhen they plated a lot of urine, they were able to grow something, but at standard lab sizes, they didn’t find anything 92% of the time.\n\nEssentially, urine was thought sterile for a long time and treated as such by surgeons. It turns out there is a very small amount of contamination, so it’s not technically sterile, but it’s effectively sterile because the amount you need to grow anything is huge (compared to a bladder).",
"Totally felt like he was invoking Cus when he delivered that line.",
"Tap water isn't sterile. Bottled water isn't sterile. Lots of things that we put into our bodies aren't sterile.",
"But apparently, admitting that you're wrong and don't know everything is a sin nowadays.\n\nEveryone must know better than everyone else.",
"I didn’t even know he was sick",
"nowhere is safe :(",
"Dick Cavett is famously short, too.",
"Perhaps Mike or someone related to the show reads this and takes it as constructive feedback. Sometimes people do things without thinking about it.",
"Conversely, there was an interview where he wasn't saying much and told his co-host, \"hey ask him a question\". I forget the guest. But he seemed entranced by whatever the guest was talking about & he just wanted to listen.",
"That was my dad's advice on playing defence in hockey.",
"I was going to seriously answer this question with names like Howard Stern, Larry King or David Letterman.\n\nBut if the benchmark is *Graham Norton* then I would go with my little could Bradley. He's only 8 years old but a far better interviewer than Graham Norton.",
"Lemme tell you, even today, Mike Tyson may be average male height but he is huge. He's got incredibly broad shoulders and is barrel-chested.\n\nMost of the guys he fought were taller than he was but they were in the same weight class. \n\nHe wasn't crazy deadly because he could keep his distance, he was crazy deadly because he could *close* the distance.",
"They can be hit and miss. The episodes with Bill Burr and Mickey Ward are great and some of my favourite episodes.",
"Sounds like advice he got from Cus. If only it was Don King that bit the dust and not Cus all those years ago. Unfortunately, he's gone and Don is still alive. The day Don finally bites it will be a joyous occasion.",
"That was an interesting watch.",
"[Don't miss this bit near the end](https://youtu.be/IOH2JBaZETg?t=296)",
"After head butting him dozens of times.",
"Also eat lots of food and get fat so your muscle definitions don't telegraph your punches",
"So he should have been the greatest of all time of his time for a longer period of time. Got it.",
"He was a good fighter in an era of bad fighters.\n\nIt's like Tyson Fury - a bad fighter in an era of awful fighters.",
"Dick could make anything exciting sound like watching dead grass grow.",
"Stop looking at me, swan",
"He wasn't a great or even very good fighter. He was a good fighter in an era of bad fighters.",
"Diyick Cavyett is awful.",
"he shot a man to death too",
"My Master told me to make the opponent watch me. Of course, I wasn't trained for play fighting / show fighting.",
"Everyone's got a plan until they get punched by the face.",
"I think your best option is going for a run.",
"Ortiz deserved that 100%. The last headbutt attempt was so blatant it was insane, the dude was jumping",
"This doesn’t read as clear as you think it does",
"Why is one better than the other? Or more noteworthy?\n\nHe gets stuff out of his interviewees that no one else does. Real, human stories that matter to the celebs. And he gives a great show in doing it. \n\nWhy isn’t that a great interviewer? Because he isn’t “serious” when he does it?",
"Really harsh downvoting on a totally true statement, the rose tinted goggles with which a large number of redditors view Mike Tyson is incredible. His best win was an old and out of shape larry holmes followed by 2 x bruno (who could only see out of one eye for one of them) and Razor Ruddock. Hardly the resume of legend. Mike Tyson the myth is the greatest heavy of all time. Mike Tyson of reality is a top 20-30 heavyweight.",
">Why is one better than the other? \n\nNobody said one is better. I'm pointing out that they're different.",
"I think what made Foreman so terrifying was the way he kept the pressure on. He just grilled his opponents.",
"His face can't hit you indeed.",
"I never realized that that is why Tyson bit him. Makes a lot more sense.",
"Got it. \n\nI said he was a great interviewer. You seem to have spoken up in response to that, as if to correct me. But perhaps you are simply stating what type of interviewer he is?",
"Lol what a shitty and mean thing to say for no reason.",
"Boxers use fists. Headbutts are illegal.",
"No one did, man. 😔",
"\\*Time traveler taking notes:",
"I was going to say, Holyfield watched this clip and decided to headbutt instead of punch",
"Cus died before Tyson was even world champion",
"Most people missed Ortiz missing a blatant headbutt earlier in the very same round too. Like, mayweather even pointed it out to the ref like \"yo, did you see that???\".\n\nI was cheering so fucking loud when mayweather dropped his dirty ass.",
"its the dark arts, if the ref doesn't see it then boxers will do whatever they can to win",
"If you Tysons book he basically says the same thing unfortunately",
"... But his mouth can bite you, mike",
"Kind of surprising you don't see more blatent spam-advertising on Reddit comments now that you think of it. I know we get the underhanded stuff but not usually the \"BUY RUSSIAN VIAGRA .COM TODAY!\" or the \"im 14 and a rapper but im good check my profile\" or anything like that, that slips through on places like even YouTube",
"I don't know about that. Foreman was amazing, and was like fighting a brick wall. But Tyson was a monster. He'd take your fucking head off. I'd rather fight a hopeless battle than be decapitated.",
"And a pretty good OnlyFans.",
"What I'm trying to explain is that \"getting the best out\" is not an adequate description. A show like Norton's is after something significantly different than, for instance, the BBC. \nFurthermore, Graham Norton isn't, strictly speaking, an interviewer. An interview is generally a structured conversation where one person asks questions and the other answers them. Graham Norton is more about facilitating unstructured conversation. He does have some interview style questions to serve as conversation starters but once the conversation has begun, his role is to keep it flowing in a direction that will entertain the audience. \nThat's probably the critical difference. If you want to evaluate someone as an interviewer, you have to judge them on the ability to discover information via interview. Entertaining an audience is just as worthwhile a pursuit but it's not the same pursuit, even if you borrow elements from other formats to do it.",
"he had somewhat skinny calves and massive shoulders, lots of power for his size\n\ntyson fought a lot of taller opponents too, less muscle pound for pound",
">He just grilled his opponents.\n\n😠",
"Illegal, but if you duck and just \"happen to knock heads\" because your opponent was also ducking, it's hard for a ref to determine if it was an intentional headbutt.",
"watch the fight its crazy, Holyfield was so dirty Mike sells one of the headbutts to the ref and gestures like 'WTF do something' before biting",
"lol … none of what you said differentiates him from most other interviewers except that he interviews a crowd rather than an individual (but even Johnny would have 2-3 guests he would talk to at one time). \n\nYou seem intent to not consider him an interviewer yet you draw no real distinction between him and another late night interviewer.",
"I've explained myself well. It's your responsibility to listen.",
"TIL I've been training to fight Tyson for decades!",
"This might actually work. What jury is going to believe you smashed your own face into mike tyson's fist?",
"I'll use my nuts to your fist style.",
"> was a Cole miner \n\nWhat was the going rate for Coles at the time? Were they all hoping to hit a Nat King Cole vein and make it big?",
"The single scariest part of Mike Tyson is that you know he can go from totally calm like this to pummeling your skull into mush at the drop of a hat.\n\nIt's the same feeling as getting into the cage with someone's \"pet\" tiger. He could just be totally chill with you but he could also kill you in a heartbeat and there isn't a god damned thing anyone in the room could do about it if he wanted to.",
"I always up vote Kung Pow references",
"Yes. Police are on the way to your house as we speak.",
"How bizzah",
"I never look people in the eyes. I feel like this is why, I get more information by looking at other parts of your body.",
"The man gave up everything to be with his family and realized time was the only enemy. Like he said the only time you can punch time is when you punchin time card out of work.",
"It's also how he took out Tyson.",
"He gets them drunk.",
"I LIKE THE TASTE, seriously though could I drink it in an emergency situation?",
"Lobbing law bombs ™️",
"*oof*",
"Debatable but likely true. People who don’t even watch boxing are downvoting you with zero knowledge.",
"The way that guy makes a fist, his face is probably the best thing to hit people with.",
"There are rose tinted goggles and then there is ignoring the glaring and obvious that Tyson ended his career way early through his horrible actions. He was convicted and served his sentence and appears to be a changed man since then. \n\nPrior to that, he had the second fastest rise to champion in heavyweight boxing history. He is 7th for most opponents beaten in a title fight. He is tied for 6th in most opponents beaten during a single title reign, right behind Muhammad Ali. He is also 7th for most consecutive title defenses. \n\nHe still holds the record for youngest heavyweight champion. He was the first to hold the WBA, WBC, and IBF championships and is still the only to hold them all in succession. After he served his prison sentence, he came back and became the heavyweight champion again, one of about half a dozen to ever do so. \n\nIs he the greatest of all time? Not with the life choices that drastically limited his profession career. Having been upset by Buster Douglas would likely also preclude him from such consideration. But, perhaps top 20-30? \n\nYou might want to go back and reconsider the record books. Perhaps a solid argument could be made putting him outside the top 10, but I’d love to know the 20 or more boxers (and why) you’d put above him.",
"Then you have outsmarted Mike Tyson. Congratulations!",
"*He punches him right in his cock.*\n\nWasn’t expecting that.",
"Holyfield: Heyyy that’s pretty good",
"\"the only problem with this technique is you leave yourself open to getting your ear bit off\"\n\nAh, so there is a weakness.",
"The bite, it's spelled bite.",
"He was the most marketable at least",
"Careful, he has his own unexpected counter to headbutts.",
"any semi decent boxer beat tyson\n\nreally makes you think",
"I meant more that Don King was a murderer. I didn't know about that",
"Holy shit, he stomped one of his employees to death and only got 3 years. Wtf?",
"How the hell was that allowed? Were the promoters trying to job Mike or something?",
"I honestly don't know whether he did or not, in my mind.\n\nOn one hand, his trial was a shamble. The judge refused to allow his defense to introduce evidence that the woman involved had been accused of false rape allegations before, because of a law that protects rape victims from their sexual history being used against them (never minding this is more about her potential criminal history). They also refused to allow three defense witnesses.\n\nOn the other hand, Mike was not a stranger to hurting women. He abused Robin Givens when they were married, talked about how he wanted to beat her up when he saw her after their divorce, etc. And the accuser did go to the ER immediately after and by a credible physician was found to have \"evidence of having been raped\". I don't know what that means, or how you differentiate from, say, consensual rough sex.",
"It's iffy to this day. The trial was absolute horse shit, but on the other hand Tyson was no stranger to violence against women in those days. He's cleaned himself up a lot but freely admits he was pretty horrible back then. On the other hand, he maintains he was innocent of this charge and the accuser HAD been accused of false allegations prior to that.",
"Dick Cavett. Look up some of his other interviews on YT, he was a hell of a host.",
"his face can't hit me is up there with boards don't hit back now...",
"I think my point was that “urine is sterile” has been a belief for AGES. It’s not just from one line in some movie.",
"imagine you're across from him and now you can't avoid the fight and right then Your life doesn't flash before you, 'cause you're too f**in' scared to think - you just freeze and pull a stupid face whilst the whole time he's standing there looking for your shoulders to twitch so he can get out of the way of your punch and come back with a five brick fingered fist to your chin...SOLID!",
"I have not seen either of those. I’ll give it them a shot!",
"How in the tarnation does one piss* in their own mouth",
"isn t it the same guy? by the way they at some point wanted to rename a street to son king. it was the street were that shit went down",
"FUCK I knew that, but just now made the connection to the pigeon",
"Is there a clip of this?\n\nEdit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wOH3bEoRLw",
"Mine's a dell. I like Adele.",
"*[I didn't even know he was sick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_nmdbJI8rM)*",
"I'm not saying you won't make a mess but if you're a guy it's certainly doable. Just lie on your back and arc it.",
"we trained him wrong. as a joke. is that what mikes doing right now?",
"The perfect strategy...",
"It worked for the Fremen",
"You guys are fixated with rewriting history where the white coach was the savior. Lmao clowns",
"This convicted rapist again…",
"> It's quite understandable why Tyson bit him.\n\nHoly fuck I know nothing about the boxing world, sounds insane",
"Reach matters in boxing. Weight can be a factor in a real fight. I'm not a boxing expert so I don't know if height matters in it but it doesn't in a real fight.",
"He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy.",
"\"oi tyson THIS IS FOR WESTHAM\" *headbutt*",
"Wellbits a subjective measure but I was being as hyperbolic as thise that have his as the best of all time, 15-20 is more like it. But ill still down voted because people only know the myth, not the record, it has to be about who you fight and how, not just looking good for a couple of years in a weak era, totally over rated and mis remebered fighter, coulda woulda shoulda, but didn't.\n\nLewis, louis, ali, fraiser, foreman, marciano, langford, shavers, klitschko, klitschko, holmes, holyfield, johnson, patterson, dempsey, liston, bowe, quarry",
"Well weight and reach tend to go hand in hand with height. That's why I was thinking a taller version with the same proportions would be an even more hardcore version but people have made good arguments that his height lent him a style advantage.",
"The point is if I have to watch my opponent, I am concerned with what he will do. Make him be concerned with what I do. Give him no time to do anything - only react to me.",
"nah, different people \n\nthe shooting happened in 1954 and the stomping happened in 1967 \n\n\n\n\"King has been charged with killing two people in incidents 13 years apart. In 1954, King shot a man in the back after spotting him trying to rob one of his gambling houses; this incident was ruled a justifiable homicide.[3] In 1967, King was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for stomping one of his employees to death.[3][4] For this, he served three years and eleven months in prison.[5]\" \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_King",
"Yeah no the first sentence was great advice from your coach. What would your coach think of that second sentence?",
"What? Why?",
"He can make the world's most exciting event sound like dead grass growing. The bore factor is off the charts.",
"he also threw headbutts before that are not in the clip",
"Fair enough. To each their own. I think the man has an outstanding sense of humour.",
"I didn’t like the downvotes for you and thanks for the expansion. Tyson is tricky, as he succumbed to some pretty awful demons. The Klitschko brothers are an interesting one, as their domination, to me, had largely been a quiet time in heavyweight boxing. Much of that is meant on it not reaching more main stream media. Perhaps that is because non-Americans held it pretty decisively. \n\nI’ll not dispute your list, I grew up listening to Tyson’s rise and reign (and fall). Tyson does surpass a number of those on length of title, and has some amazing stats for his first few years. With all the speculation, I have a question: could Tyson have dominated when he did without those same struggles with demons that ruined his out of the ring life?",
"Then there is Frazier vs Ali, or Creed vs Balboa.",
"100%. The Reddit hivemind has decided that Tyson is a hero. I'm here to remind them he is not. :) Could not care less about karma...",
"I'm late, but yep.. It allowed a doctor to fix his crooked nose too.."
