"Lovelly!",
"Salt lick!",
"Whats with it looking like its missing loads of hair? I'm guessing its shedding/growing its winter coat?",
"Yeah. I've been told it was shedding.",
"sure, be a deer, emerge from the woods and lick hikers, everything is peachy. be a grown man, emerge from the woods to lick hikers, get arrested.",
"This deer is gonna get killed. I'm guessing it was raised by humans to be acting so abnormally.",
"That is really bizarre behavior",
"I live in northern Canada and the deer and elk lick the roads for the salt thats put on them during the winter.\n\nI am guessing this guy was pretty sweaty. You can see the deer trying to get to more places to get more of the sweaty salt.",
"Probably wasting disease: https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/cwd-animals.html",
"CWD (chronic wasting disease, for the uninformed) is my first thought whenever I see cervids acting out of character. She doesn't appear to have any other symptoms, such as disorientation/stumbling/shaking or the like. She looks like she knows exactly what she's doing.\n\nHard to say, but this girl looks more like she's just familiar with people and knows they're salty. Could have been a baby that was rehabbed/raised by humans and released back into the wild, which is fairly common when a lone or injured fawn is found in populated areas. I would still err on the side of caution, as the jury's still out on whether or not CWD affects humans.\n\nEither way, CWD or not, I'd douse my skin with industrial cleaners if a wild animal licked me.",
"I agree, she looks a bit on the slender side but much too perky. I'd definitely still err on the side of caution, and also would never let a deer lick me or get near me in the first place",
"Have you tried going into the woods and licking deer to see if you still get arrested? \n\nMaybe that's the key.",
"Some other theories in this thread, but I suspect this deer was fed and raised by a human from a young age, they can become domesticated quite easily. \n\nPeople can't stand to see a fawn go hungry away if it lost it's mother (roadkill, hunting, w/e), and they make lots of noise if they get hungry without their mother. Sometimes deer mothers leave their fawns in places they think are safe and go off for hours, and during that time the fawns remain in place, and can be interfered with or fed by humans. \n\nI met a domesticated buck when I was a kid. When the deer got older he wanted to fight with his antlers, and what used to be cute and controllable became unwieldly and dangerous, but eventually was just killed by a hunter or something, for sure.",
"Might be the salt, if they need it they are drawn to it...\n\nN.S",
"I'm *pretty* sure prions can't be spread through casual contact. As long as you don't eat its brain you should be fine.",
"No, I think authorities should arrest the deer.",
"Like I said, there's no scientific concensus yet on pretty much any of the communication properties of the disease; that being said, from what I understand (and I am no expert on CWD), there's general suspicion among the experts that CWD is spread between cervidae via bodily fluids. At the very least, these specific prions spread extraordinarily quickly compared to other specimens, which indicates another transmission vector than just consumption. \n\nFrom the CDC:\n\n>Scientists believe CWD proteins (prions) likely spread between animals through body fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine, either through direct contact or indirectly through environmental contamination of soil, food or water. Once introduced into an area or farm, the CWD protein is contagious within deer and elk populations and can spread quickly. Experts believe CWD prions can remain in the environment for a long time, so other animals can contract CWD from the environment even after an infected deer or elk has died.\n\nThis doesn't really cover cervid -> human transmission, but, hey, can't be too careful when it comes to death proteins. Hopefully the science surrounding the disease becomes a little more concrete in the near future.",
"This is so much better than my encounters with wild deer, usually they emerge from the forest and nearly get hit by my truck.",
"Yeah there's a doe that hangs out at my moms farm and kind of blends in. One of those sheep is not quite like the others.",
"Stop fucking with wild animals. It’s not a Disney movie, and you’re not a princess.",
"I can't say I've ever had one lick me, but I've had wild deer come up and eat out of my hand while camping in Colorado. For whatever that's worth.",
"This is usually a sign the deer has CWD and should be killed ASAP.",
"Nah, any deer with CWD needs to be killed.",
"Well in Bambi the mother is killed by a hunter so IRL is exactly like a Disney movie. Deer season for rifles just opened up here in Louisiana and I'm excited to get out there and get some to fill up my deep freezer. I will *never* harvest a doe if she is with her fawn though.",
"It's not unheard of. My dad fell asleep on a sitting up against a tree while deer hunting to be awoken by a deer licking his face. Other hunters have also run into licking deers. Advantage though as I've never heard of a hunter taking advantage of a licking deer.",
"Reddit has awakened my fear of rabies time and time again. No way I'm ever letting a wild animal get so close to me like that."

"Doesn't his popularity say more about us, the audience?",
"> “Chris Pratt bad”.\n\nWhat did I miss? Did he do a wrongthink?",
"He's not just \"Christian\"; he is vocally part of an anti lgbtq activist church and is a trump supporter. That'll pretty much do it for most people.",
">anti lgbtq church is unnecessary alliteration \n\n\n?? What exactly do you think alliteration means? Quoted you so you can't edit your bizarre response lol."

"You're upset",
"Tbf it wasn't that funny, you just seemed upset. Fyi I'm from neither country so projection would make no sense",
"Not entirely accurate but close. Not everything that comes from UK is nice and calm, they know how to over hype things too...",
"Mate. Chill. It's a simple joke.",
"I feel like that new 'Universe' documentary series by Brian Cox was way overdramatic and a bit yankified.",
"Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares has to qualify as the best example of the contrast between the two. The UK one is relatively calm and there is a bit more content as he tries to 'turn around the kitchen' and the owners he deals with are more down to earth. The US one is wild with crazy owners, much more drama and so many quick edits with dramatic music. \n\nThey're both largely contrived for television but the U.K one is more interesting if you want to see a brief idea of the behind the scenes of a restaurant whereas the US one is much more fun if you want to see an owner who serves raw chicken or fights with customers e.t.c.\n\nAlthough the U.K isn't immune to the over the top programming either. It's just the more successful ones tend to be a bit calmer.",
"I'm genuinely curious. What are some examples of American nature documentaries that fit this stereotype?",
"Nah, American documentaries just take British documentaries and dub in Sigourney Weaver.",
"I'm not sure I would call Kitchen Nightmares a \"documentary\"...even the term \"reality\" TV seems a little generous",
"72 Dangerous Animals on Netflix should have you covered. Apparently it’s American/Australian made, but it’s the first thing that comes to mind. I’ll edit if I can remember the others I’ve seen that are similar.",
"pretty much everything on animal planet/discover/history channel these days.",
"\"Needs more waterphone\" \n \n- Murica",
"That was pretty good",
"Anything the “History channel” has made in the past 15 years.",
"Thumbnail BatChest",
"Morgan freeman and march of penguins begs to differ.",
"[This one goes way back.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCpKp73kJtI&ab_channel=strangewildernessuk)",
"March of the Penguins is a French documentary.",
"It's a little disingenuous to call that a \"nature documentary\".",
"i like the aussie version better",
"lmao",
"More like PBS vs YouTube.",
"River Monsters is a British production, sold to US channels via ITV who pay for it to be produced. Icon Films based in Bristol, England are the people who make it.\n\nhttps://iconfilms.co.uk/productions/rivers-monsters/",
"Advantage: USA",
"The word \"reality\" in \"reality TV\" is doing the same kind of heavy lifting that \"news\" is in \"Fox News.\"",
"Check out the BBC's *Saving Lives at Sea*, it's basically an hour of content with some bit of human background thrown in. Similar American helicopter-rescue shows are 22 minutes of show composed of about 5 different clips shown over and over again.\n\nAlso helps that some quaint little English country town with a lifeguard station attached to a pub or a Welsh holiday village named like Grmblygruffy'd On the Sea is about a thousand times more interesting and likeable to watch than some dumbass Florida bro beach or gross Alaskan meth village.",
"Not seen this so much with nature documentaries but it's definitely true of anything to do with astronomy or cosmology. The US documentaries seem to revolve around cheap-looing CG, endless \"awe-inspiring\" background music and a narrator who thinks he's recording the trailer for a Marvel movie. And when I've watched them, I actually feel like I know less about the subject than before. Sort of like trying to read Asimov's Foundation by watching the TV show.",
"Don't think we don't hate it too, it gets old quick but then you forget and don't even notice it.",
"Will PMmeYourNoodz buy a gift for his aunt?",
"Animal Planet was designed for kids though.",
"hahahaha I feel that is close, but the american would have babbled about nothing for 5-55 more minutes, if you tube weed and plant videos are anything go by.",
"BatChest",
"Does anyone know any good nat docs that are a bit more sciency? I like Planet Earth, but it feels like it's main goal is to showcase pretty animals, I'd like to learn something more detailed!",
"I stopped watching the American version when the an episode's subplot was that the owners kept putting off their marriage for the restaurant, so Gordon put together a surprise wedding for them. US reality TV is the worst.",
"[Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMuUcoDySpU) was a BBC documentary narrated by Attenborough, which was re-edited (as shown in this trailer) and the narration replaced by Oprah Winfrey in order to appeal to American audiences.\n\n\nThey replaced *Attenborough*.",
"Hahaha I thought the same exact thing. Hecking love nature.",
"The UK version is the best by far. The US version is garbage \\*sad metal noise\\*",
">Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares has to qualify as the best example of the contrast between the two\n\nThis is not a documentary. \n\n​\n\n​\n\nThe UK mostly produces utter shit.",
"You are such a superior human being than everyone else. Feel better?",
"Zero that aren't on youtube.",
"You stupid cunt, you're comparing reality TV to BBC nature documentaries. You are a vile nationalist piece of shit. Also both are BRITISH you stupid cunt.",
"Is that why the US has much higher rates of cancer survival."

"Crops grow especially well when the atmosphere is contaminated and unbreathable, and the sun's rays no longer bathe the surface in light.\n\nGreat job, Gohmert Pyle.",
"Were those experts random Facebook posts?",
"Unbreathable from Co2? \n\nhttps://www.livescience.com/44330-jurassic-dinosaur-carbon-dioxide.html",

"Real smooth brained energy here.",
"For those of you who don't know, this was the politician whose proposed solution to global warming was [\"Why don't we just take the Earth, AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!?!?\"](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/557558-gohmert-asks-if-federal-agencies-can-change-earth-or-moons-orbits-to-fight?=)",
"Actually, it does show that evolution allows for wild swings in Co2. \n\nEarth Abides.",
"unfortunately these types can’t be reasoned with.",
"Gomer Pyle irl",
"When the climate goes wild, animals can go somewhere else, or die, and it'll be no big deal. We can't pick up our farms and cities and put them somewhere else, and dying is a poor option to be stuck with.",
"Louie Gohmert's purpose when speaking in Congress is to ensure that every conversation about anything important is immediately made as stupid and absurd as possible. It's an intentional tactic by the far right to make things they dislike look trivial, to make government look incompetent, and to distract from their actual goals.",
"So your overall point is that all humanity could die off, as well as all animal and plant life, but that's OK because it might or might not come back again in some other form, millions of years from now?\n\nWell ok then...",
"Why will humanity end in roughly 100 years?\n\n.... this.\n\nPeople like this would kill every single human being on the planet just to make their life more luxurious. Let that sink in.",

"The problem with this is it isn't some kind of Sophie's Choice situation. It isn't like combatting global warming will cause us to enter an Ice Age. It is a stupid argument to make.",
"In an institution that also includes Marjorie Green who decries the use of secret Jewish space lasers and Lauren Boebert who doesn't always know which state she represents, Gohmert stands stands apart as the dumbest person in Congress.",
"[https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/](https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/)\n\nSo, yeah, this is nothing new for Earth. Animals, plants, even humans and their predecessors have adapted to climate change cycles for millions of years.",
"[https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/](https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/)\n\nClimate cycles are nothing new for Earth. Earth has been cycling from one extreme to another for millions of years. Plants, animals (including humans) have not all died off. \n\nAdapt or die is the rule of thumb around here on this planet.\n\nWe are currently IN an Ice Age cycle. This cycle is outside of human control or capacity to change.",
"Ahh, a climate change denier. Got it. Should have guessed based on the initial reply. Bye!",
"What's new is mega cities and a farming infrastructure that are completely dependent on a stable, predictable weather pattern, which we're about to lose for at least the next few hundred years. The hunter-gatherer tribes of the future will do well by comparison, but modern civilization is boned.",
"So, by posting links that show climate change, I am in denial about climate change?\n\nWut?",
">This cycle is outside of human control or capacity to change.",
"It's really not anything new. The Little Ice age affected crops, farming and mega cities of the day. FWIW, in the Little Ice age the farming practices were much less robust than today.\n\nEven though the population was smaller, the dependence on fairly primitive farming practices made for a much more fragile population.",
"'This cycle'\n\nNot every cycle. \n\nRIF\n\nClimate is not a single cycle issue.",
"Things are accelerating, so it will be sooner. I don't agree it will be every single human, just large scale extinction and suffering.",
"\"The crop growing season is longer\"\n\n\"Yeah, but with perpetual drought we can't grow anything anyway, and even if we could, the annual super storms would wipe us out.\"",
">Democrats are the majority and can't even motivate enough unity to get control of our government and elect consistently effective politicians.\n\nDemocrats won the majority and are trying to push through policies that have >70% support. In a democracy/republic this should be enough. The US is a very outdated and undemocratic government. What we are seeing now is those cracks start to become gaping holes. \n\nDemocrats should be blamed for acting more like Republicans (80s/90s/00s), but the reality is that conservatives are actively trying to destroy this fragile democracy.",
"Agreed! My only point is that the majority (dems) are obstructed by a minority (gop), at least in part, because the dems have much less unity and grit as their opposition. While republicans are content to be almost unilaterally motivated by hatred of people not in their tribe, we're more prone to mini-tribalisms and petty differences that ultimately derail much of the discussion. If we fought for progress the way they fight for regress things might be a little different.",
">because the dems have much less unity and grit as their opposition.\n\nI don't think it is grit, it is because doing something is harder than not doing anything. Especially when conservatives have all the incentives to not do anything.\n\n> If we fought for progress the way they fight for regress things might be a little different.\n\nI still think it is systemic, and not because of lack of wanting to legislate. And we can't fight the way conservatives fight because we don't want to make a broadcast propaganda network and intentionally mislead followers.",
"That's going a bit far, Louie Gohmert is a Christian. I'm sure he would spare the other wealthy white right wing Christians.",
"Can barely hear him as he spouts nonsense from the pocket of big oil.",
"Bs no politics. Mods allow left leaning bs constantly including SNL, John Stewart, Bill Maher, Stephen colbert",
"But also more time for bugs to grow.",
"Did you read that? The whole site is about farming in games. Not in real life. Did you just google \"mini ice age farming\" and that was like the 14th hit so we wouldn't see it at the top of our own searches?\n\nedit: this one article is about farming in the mini ice age, but why would I trust some random non-scientific article on a page that has mostly gaming farm tips?",
"And of course it will first take its toll entirely on those already the most vulnerable and who have the smallest carbon footprint."

Louie Gohmert "Climate Genius": I’ve read where experts have said if you’ve got a choice between the temperature getting slightly warmer or slightly colder, you want warmer because if it’s getting slightly colder that means there’s less time for crops to grow

"My favorite part each year is how many curious adult neighbors wander down to try it out. Shoutout to the lady who set up a lawn chair out front.",
"That is amazing",
"I love the last kid \"I always have to do this every year\". Sounds like they are fun neighbors lol",
"Thank you! We try. ;)",
"Very cool",
"Thanks!",
"I want to see a how to video on that one. How do you do that?",
"Brilliant trick!!!",
"A decently decorated scary house near us had the best scare this year.\n\nWhen you rang the doorbell, a woman dressed in all white with black eye makeup ran from the kitchen with candy at you. (Exorcist 3 jumpscare [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH8ynu0jRvY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH8ynu0jRvY))\n\nMy kid jumped but didn't get it obviously. He said \"Why did that lady run so fast?\"\n\nI am still haunted by it ha.",
"I made it. It's done with a basic understanding of microcontrollers, specifically the Arduino Uno, which I wired to a cheap doorbell receiver. When it senses a ring, the Uno begins a sequece of turning on or off different power strips by controlling a power relay board. Can be done for about 50 bucks, not including speakers, tools and decorations.",
"I hope you don't surprise any epileptic people!",
"It's really awesome good job! Where did you get the sound effects from? Particularly the doorbell one is so perfect!",
"i remember going into these contraptions as a kid in the 90s. Times never change. As an adult though, I wouldn't scare the little 5-6 year olds. They are too cute. Little Finn from adventure time and winnie the pooh. I would feel bad lol.",
"this looks like something my best friend and i did back in high school. we had his younger brother go mix in with a group of trick-or-treaters and make sure he was in front when he rung the bell. then we shut all the lights off and turned on a strobe light. we had werewolf and skull masks on and we threw open the door and grabbed his brother and dragged him inside as he \"resisted\" then slammed the door shut and made pounding and screaming. then we opened it with him on the floor. the kids were usually halfway down the block by then. if it wasn't in the early 90s and we could have streamed it, we totally would have. it was hilarious.",
"Thanks! There are a handful of sounds I used but the majority I got from freesound.org. you could use the free audio editing software Audacity to put it all together.",
"Whoa! That's nuts. I don't know if I have the acting skills to pull that off.",
"please teach me how!!!",
"It could still be less because of COVID. We had easily 75-80 kids come through our house! Agree that trunk or treat is definitely getting huge, though.",
"It's cool but I feel like it goes on just a bit too long after the initial lights out before the next jump.\n\nBiggest issue is you'll get other kids seeing the scare as they approach unless you don't get many trick or treaters.",
"Why don't I have this in my life???",
"I've heard that from some people, it can be tough to go all out when trick or treating sometimes is only for an hour, or the weather is bad. Trunk or treating is pretty popular it seems. Dont lose hope!",
"If it makes you feel any better I ran out of candy halfway through my town’s trick or treat this year because there were so many kids.",
"On the other side, my neighborhood was jam-packed with trick or treaters this year. We had 5 large bags, ran out within an hour, started coming around 545ish, didn’t stop until 9pm, and I had to run to Walmart and grab boxes of chips and cookies just to compensate. Hell my kid even handed out candy canes while I ran down to the store. \n\nOwned this house for 4 years, been in this neighborhood since 2005. Can’t say I’ve ever seen it that busy. Even *adults* were coming by.",
"The tent has a zipper door which helps, but next year we're thinking someone can stand outside and let groups in one at a time. There was loud music playing outside to mask the sound design a bit too.",
"I explained a bit in a different comment (I made this) but take a weekend and learn how to control relays with an Arduino microcontroller and you'll be mostly there!",
"LOL you stopped the timer until that kid came back in",
"That’s my favorite part!",
"Boohoo on you",
"I thought the same until this year in my area! I haven't seen a Halloween this busy since I was a kid and I nearly cried.",
"Hope you don't have stairs up to your front door. The amount of screaming running children must be fairly high.\n\nI love it, btw.",
"Thank you! No stairs. That would have been a hell of a scene!",
"You all go all out over there, eh.",
"Passing out candy the normal way sounds incredibly boring.",
"r/nextfuckingevel would love this!"

"My father died at 31, and was an investigator after going through Special Ops. Talk about a brotherhood. These guys took care of my family and are some of the toughest and most intelligent people you will ever meet. All of his brothers are now in their 60's and every one of them extremely successful.",
"I would love to do this.",
"So much of this is obviously dumb and unnecessary. \n\nYou don't need to torture recruits like this, to make them good. Other countries don't do it, and routinely create better fighting forces (albeit much smaller budgets, which limits efficacy in an actual battle)..\n\nLike what the fuck use is a dead hang until your arms are about to fall off? When is a recruit likely to use that in the field? \n\nA better use of that time would be to have them yomp in full kit through mud for 30km or something. AKA, a situation they might be put into and have to endure. \n\nWhat use is dragging a recruit by your neck across sand? Has that ever happened in the history of combat? \n\nSurely a better form of training would be how far you can fireman carry a recruit..",
"Hashbrowns",
"I don’t think Smith will make it 😂",
">What use is dragging a recruit by your neck across sand? Has that ever happened in the history of combat? \n\n\nSo your buddy has his legs blown off and you are being shot at. you gonna leave him there? \n\n\nI'm not going to pretend I even have an inkling about what they do or why they do it, but I am sure as shit you don't have a leg to stand on in criticizing it from behind your keyboard.",
"They're taught how to shoot lasers out of their eyes!?",
"I think by any metric the US produces some of the best elite soldiers in the world. I don't know how you consider yourself a better expert than the people training literally the best of the best.",
"Reporting this for politics. \n\nI guess recruiters gotta post on /r/videos to try and get volunteers lol",
"Mentally strong over psychically strong. You don't have to pull yourself up on this bar, just hang there. Having a stronger mental power will keep you on that bar longer than someone without it. \n\nThese guys right here are the Air Control for their squadron. So they have to be mentally tough and smart and have the ability to do things while being drained. \n\nNow who the fuck knows why they are dragging them like that, could be because while being shot at and you need to drag someone who has loss the use of their legs, crawling with him holding your neck would most likely be the safest way.",
"i imagine normally dragging them works better since the legless dude is prob passed out or not able to keep a grip like this. It really is just a weighted sled drag while trying to make it seem like it has utility.",
"Its all about mental assessment and conditioning.",
"A lot of it is \"eyeroll worthy\" or cringe compilation BUT these guys have the mental fortitude of the best champions we know of in history or sports. Most of the advice or words of wisdom we hear or repeat speak to \"never quitting\" the idea is much better understood when you can see someone really be tenacious and you think \"how the hell is this guy still going?\"\n\nDavid Goggins? I think is a former spec forces and he speaks to this and says something like \"when you're ready to quit you are only about 40% of the way there\"",
"This entire comment just shows how little you know about this entire thing. \n\nVery little of this is about physical training. These guys are already about as fit as anyone could be, and most of these training courses actually make guys physically weaker through attrition, wear & tear, and lack of needed calories. \n\nWhat has been constantly proven time and time again is that what is needed to succeed in the shit is not physical stamina, but mental stamina. Knowing how hard you can push your body and having the will to succeed is not only more important, but much harder to select for. These courses serve both purposes; They select out the guys who can't do it, and reinforce the confidence and will for those who do. \n\nIn addition, the most important part of this kind of training is having these guys trained to be mentally sound and clear-headed in the heat of combat and at peak physical stress. That's why they have him recite his code while hanging, with his men also in physical stress. These guys are AFSOC trainees, which means a lot of them will have Combat Controller abilities. That's calling in accurate air strikes under fire. You really, really do not want that guy to be mentally out of it when he's calling in air-strikes near you. People are not born with that ability, they need to be pushed to the limit, tested, then pushed again, and tested again over and over so that it is second-nature when it counts.\n\nYou're right that a lot of it is dumb if you're coming at it from your perspective, but it is absolutely necessary to produce men who can do what is needed. In all likelihood these guys will never have to do half the shit done in training, but the ones who pass know that they CAN do this shit, and will not break when it matters most. \n\nThe people who build, run, and maintain these courses are not sadists, nor are they idiots. They know EXACTLY why they are doing these things. It all has a purpose, and is constantly being refined. This is not cross-fit, it's combat training.",
">\tand routinely create better fighting forces\n\nYeah that’s about where you lost any credibility",
">So much of this is obviously dumb and unnecessary. \n\nIt isn't.\n\n>You don't need to torture recruits like this, to make them good\n\nThese aren't \"recruits\", these are special forces candidates.\n\n>Like what the fuck use is a dead hang until your arms are about to fall off? When is a recruit likely to use that in the field? \n\nYou should probably look into what special forces do and the kind of people it requires.\n\n>Surely a better form of training would be how far you can fireman carry a recruit..\n\n*whew* good thing they've already done all that stuff during their regular military training.\n\nSpecial Forces training is about weeding out the normal people from the malleable testosterone (and probably rampant drug) fueled psychopaths that the government can use as executors of foreign policy.",
"They didn't show the \"learn how to massacre civilians and get away with executing other American soldiers\" part.",
"yay for jingoism, i guess",
"Came here for this",
"Those are called war crimes and only politicians are allowed to do those.",
">Those are called war crimes and only politicians are allowed to do those.\n\nWeird because special forces do them all the time.",
"These Things We Do, That Others May Live",
"Source on them doing war crimes and not having the book thrown at them?",
"You should probably pay better attention to what the Special Forces Bros actually say instead of just getting all turgid to the idea of being a Bad Ass Operator.\n\nWhy?\n\nBecause being given a pass to operate with impunity is part of being \"elite\".\n\nLike in Wardak where the US was getting so much heat for abuses (including murdering villagers) that they agreed to remove their presence there, despite them protesting directly to Hamid Karazi that they should be untouchable. No charges. Well, not to any Americans.\n\nOr that time when the actual commander of the Navy SEALS publicly announced his teams needed to be disciplined following story after story of human rights abuses- the same man who gifted his men with tomahawks who across a number of cases used those to execute surrendered soldiers? No charges there of course. The same guy who actually tried to have one of his men charged with murder- but was instead pardoned by the President? Oh yeah that guy, he then tweeted all the names and locations of the special forces members that \"ratted him out\".\n\nThat same commander also later fired a number of senior officers and their special forces teams were sent home after leaks about rampant sexual abuse. No charges .\n\nOr the time they rolled up on some people traveling to a party and proceeded to murder children and mutilate the bodies of the dead.\n\nOr of Medal of Honor winner Britt Slabinski who openly encouraged the mutilation of bodies and spoke readily to taking no prisoners.\n\nOr perhaps you might look into the joyous practice of \"canoeing\", which is the hobby of blowing open dead bodies heads.\n\nOr there were very open criticisms like that of Richard Smethers who quite openly protested the mutilations, extrajudicial killings and other crimes of his unit mates. Nothing happened. He got sent back to the US though.\n\nWhat about the famous Captain Phillips story? Turns out some of the special forces involved shot the pirates without orders and then proceeded to take the stolen money for themselves. Didn't see that in the movie.\n\nAnd that's just off the top of my head.",
"People **do** commit war crimes. The difference here is that they aren't being trained to do so nor told to do so. \n \nPeople also do get dishonorably discharged and/or court martialed. \n\nPentagon has also launched (2021) an entire U.S Special Forces wide investigation into war crimes. \n \nIt's not like it is condoned or encouraged. It happens, but people also get the book for it.",
">The difference here is that they aren't being trained to do so nor told to do so. \n\nother than the situations where I just said they were.\n\n>People also do get dishonorably discharged and/or court martialed. \n\n\nother than the situations I already brought up.\n\n>Pentagon has also launched (2021) an entire U.S Special Forces wide investigation into war crimes. \n\nand why did they do that?\n\nprobably because people were finding out that special forces were acting with impunity to murder, rape, extort.\n\n>It's not like it is condoned or encouraged. \n\n\nexcept other than when it is.\n\n\n\n>It happens, but people also get the book for it.\n\nexcept for the circumstances I already mentioned, among many others",
">*other than the situations where I just said they were.* \n \n Yes. Cops also commit crimes. That doesn't mean cops are trained to commit crimes. \n \n>*other than the situations I already brought up.* \n \nNot in the situations that you didn't, because they were court martialled. \n\n>*and why did they do that? \n \nBecause war crimes are crimes and crimes are illegal. \n \n>*except for the circumstances I already mentioned, among many others \n \nExcept for the circumstances that you didn't mention.

"Oh LPL talking about how easy it is to do something absolutely no thief does, picking locks. Is he trying to shill products and convince people they need pick resistant locks?",
"Why don't thieves pick locks?",
"Nah he's trying to convince thieves that they should up their game.",
"Because a rock is easier, or just a good boot to your door.",
"Learn a skill? Why? There are battery powered angle grinders.",
"Isn't that loud?",
"Most thieves focus on speed above all else. In and out as fast as possible, and leaving the scene of the crime before anyone calls the police.\n\nLockpicking is slow, it's not *very* slow mind you, but it still takes 10-15 seconds even if you are a world class locksmith. You have to first approach the door, then look at what brand the lock is, then bring up the specific pick for this type of lock, then line it up and shimmy the pins as needed. All the while, any neighbors looking outside their window will see a strange man trying to pick open their neighbor's door.\n\nCompare that to a crowbar, which can crack open a door in about as much time as it takes you to turn a doorknob. Same goes for an angle grinder on a padlock, or just breaking a window in a house. It doesn't matter if you make more noise or not, the thief doesn't plan to stick around long enough for the police to arrive. Also, thieves target empty places, not occupied buildings. So the noise of a breaking a window is irrelevant since no one is home to hear it. All they care about is getting inside as fast as possible because every single second they are standing outside the house is a second they are visible to neighbors, people across the street, etc.",
"Really seems more like an ad for his lockpick tool.\n\nKinda disappointed tbh, there are plenty of Masterlocks (or various cheap Chinese brands) that you can literally *open with your bare hands.*Mocking one of those for being the same as the \"Not a Lock\" makes sense, because anyone can open it without any tools. \n\nBut saying Masterlocks are not locks because if you **buy this product** you can open it! Well, that's just a really sleazy marketing gimmick.\n\nMight as well have titled the video, \"MASTERLOCK *HATES* THIS ONE WEIRD TOOL (that I sell)!!\"",
"I love how the LPL is calling out lazy lock manufacturers. Not everyone is as good as he is picking locks but still there is no excuse for making shitty products.",
"If you're in and out in 30 seconds what does it matter?",
"I see.",
"Guess I got spoiled by living in a building with a doorman.",
"Well if you ever buy a house don't buy pick resistant locks, use that money to reinforce your door jam and windows.",
"> Really seems more like an ad for his lockpick tool.\n\nThat's like half his videos these days.\n\nLike, LPL obviously knows there is a difference between that Master Lock and the \"Not a Lock\". 99% of people who approach both locks are going to be able to open the \"Not a Lock\", but not going to be able to get through the Master Lock. \n\nAll locksmiths know that locks first and foremost as a deterrent. He's downplaying this for \"shock value\" (ie- \"OMG, can you believe this lock is as easy to open as a fake lock?!?!?!) as well as plugging his lock-picking products. He's a sell-out, which, hey, more power to ya. But his viewers should realize that too.",
"You may already know this, but it’s jamb, not jam.",
"Oops my bad.",
"Also that masterlock looks like it’s designed to be mounted onto a wall. It always bugs me that LPL doesn’t even attempt to recreate real world conditions.",
"I agree that he's 100% marketing his lockpicking tools but there are other reasons somebody may want to covertly access something without others finding out besides thievery.",
">Masterlock should sue NOT A Lock for stealing their products.\n\noof",
"> just a good boot to your door.\n\nIt still amazes me how Americans are completely incapable of even thinking about how to build a door you can't just easily kicked in. Locks, doors and hinges that actually work is akin to superstitious belief to Americans. \n \nOne of my favourites is \"You can't build a door that opens outwards because then you can just pop the pins out of the hinges and the door comes right off.\" \n \nIn my country you wouldn't even need hinges in the first place to lock the door securely, and even with hinges there is no way to pop any pin from a hinge because proper hinges don't work that way. \n \nThen again, you still use cheques.",
"Wow. Has Reddit turned on LPL?",
"Why did that tool with all the same height pin pushers work so easily?",
"It’s day two of No Nut November, they’re getting antsy and snippy",
"It's just the evolution of a youtuber. Have a account as a hobby, find out your brand, quit your real job, sell yourself out to maximize earning potential.",
"I guess the plan is to do it when you believe no one is home.",
"It’s called a comb, and it pushes the pins that are normally in contact with the key (key pins) all the way to the shear point. It only works if the lock has enough space behind the pins to push them that far. A well-designed lock wouldn’t have that much space, so it wouldn’t be susceptible to that attack.",
"Americans are only concerned about whether it *looks* more secure than their neighbor’s door.",
"The comb would work just as quickly if the lock were anywhere else. Wherever you’re using it you’d still have to be able to get the key in.",
"The fact remains though that LPL tests never attempt to recreate real world conditions.",
"In Finland we would be so jealous of your fancy American lock that we would pay 100 euros just so you can't have a lock at all.",
"Seem like a kinda broken way to design a lock.",
"In high school I had a combination lock that was broken and so ‘functioned’ like the Not A Lock. I used it for my sports gym locker and loved not having to worry about entering the combo, though with people around I faked entering one when necessary to keep up the illusion.",
"Locks are deterrents. Sorry lock picking lawyer, but this is a stupid argument and you know it. To someone with the right tools and know-how, a lock means nothing. Ask a locksmith. Is it great that the masterlock can be combed open? Absolutely not. But is it fair to compare a product designed to not be a lock against a lock that requires combing and knowing how to use a comb? That's completely stupid.\n\nAnd then using that time to sell your own brand of comb? Come on, man.",
"What if I put it on my toast?",
"It's a cheap way to make a lock, Masterlock does not care how good of a lock it is, just that you buy it. The vast majority of people who buy locks do not know what would make a good lock or a garbage one like this.",
"Oh yeah I bet LPL is getting that big lock pick money. I bet he's making megabucks with his $$$ lock picking merch. \n\n\nSeriously though, it's worth pointing out, if some guy on youtube can pick a lock trivially and he even has a store where you can pick the lock too, then it's not a secure lock.",
"...reinforce a window?",
"I'm not going to defend the comparison between not-a-lock and a poor quality lock, but overlifting attacks shouldn't work on a \"10/10 security rated\" cylinder. \n\nThese comb picks are really cheap, easy to get hold of and trivial to use.\n\nSo yeah, the video is somewhat clickbaity, but not worth the reddit outrage.",
"Also, almost nobody knows how to pick locks. A child could open it if you taught them? I could learn french if you taught it to me.",
"Turns out making the same videos over and over again is way easier than writing briefs for 60 hours a week.",
"He has in the past. Look into his hotel lock videos. Apparently Ms. LPL hates when they travel because he constantly looks at ways to by-pass his locks.\n\nHe's done hotel safes as well.",
"My takeaway was that master lock’s 10/10 security rating is just silly nonsense",
"> if some guy on youtube\n\nThat also happens to pretty much be a professional lockpick...\n\n> he even has a store where you can pick the lock too\n\nA device made for lockpicking can pick a lock!?!",
"It likely wouldn't taste too good, and you may hurt a tooth.",
"\\*laugh track*",
"Yup, you can put on bars or even film that doesn't allow it to shatter.",
"Bars on windows is not reinforcing them. It's putting bars on windows. Security film doesn't do much unless you also apply caulk needed to hold the window in place. Then you have to worry about the construction of the window it self, then the frame. Most business that have a lot to loose don't do this, and I know of no residential unit that would goto this extreme.",
"Absolutely bars reinforce Windows, bad guy takes one look at the bars and he won't even bother to break the glass, seems pretty strong to me. And the company I worked for put window film on non stop for both commercial and residential. Seems like you couldn't be more wrong, don't assume because you don't have cash other people don't.",
"God forbid this dude takes a few steps at no inconvenience to the viewer to maximize his returns on a project he's spent literally years building. \n\nIf you're upset that he's showcasing his own product, get fucked.",
"1. Bars on windows is not reinforcing them. It's putting bars on windows.\n\n2. And the company I worked for put window film on non stop for both commercial and residential\n* and you have never heard of the caulk that goes with this film? read some manuals.",
"I thought the not a locks was for cosplay and fetish role playing?",
"1. I don't care to argue semantics.\n2. Yup, are you quoting me or saying something? You literally just said \"and I know of no residential unit that would go to this extreme\" so make up your mind before you start yapping.\n3. Yup they put the caulking on their explosion resistant film, they put it on their security film as well, wtf is your point? You seem to not know wtf you're talking about.",
"Here starts the downfall.\n\n​\n\n\"With a special tool you can buy from my website it's almost as easy as yanking on a lock!\"\n\n​\n\nI appreciate wanted more secure locks but he sells tools for pretty decent locks as well.",
"I'm surprised about that too. He has always made great content. People around here need to chill.",
"This guy steals",
"Are you me? I also did that on my gym locker at work until covid hit.",
"It's a comb pick. It's hardly the most complicated device in the world. You can get a set delivered to your door from amazon for less than $10.",
"i sense the dark side on him",
"I still enjoy his videos but seeing him trying to sell his stuff almost every video is getting tiresome."

"I hope the small film creator gets the attention they deserve",
"X2",
"Great short film. Not sure how material there really is to adapt for a full-feature though.",
"How spooky is this, does it have jump scares? I wanna know before I click",
"Reminds me of that Blair Witch video game with the tree spirits",
"Not sure this has enough for a feature film. I loved It Follows...but this felt...kinda lame? There was no payoff...just a kid running from noises until the last second of the short. Even then the 'ghoul' wasn't that imaginative. I'm not a fan of CGI \"ghouls\" though...they rarely if ever look frightening.",
"I don't get it; *Light's Out* was based on a horror short, but the short presented a cute gimmick: The monster can't go/be in well lit areas.\n\nIt's been done before, but it was neat.\n\nWhere's the gimmick in this short? It reads as a series of cliche's;\n\n- The dog running off and yelping\n\n- The phone rings, but there's just heavy breathing on the other end\n\n- The flashlight dies at the worst possible time (somehow three times)\n\n- She just happens to approach Jack from the creepiest angle, and he just stands there with his back turned.\n\nThese aren't just \"done before\", they're damn tired. There's no narrative here, no gimmick.. \n\nWhat is the short contributing? \n\nWhat will the movie be? Even *more* prolonged scenes of people's backs in the woods??",
"Seems like the same formula that's been done countless times before. Nothing innately horrifying, unlike the It Follows premise, which I still think is one of the best horror films ever made.",
"I guess the \"gimmick\" is a movie more focused on spooky sounds? I agree, that's not very novel. Another feature also seemed to be hearing the baddie through the tv/phone, but that's not really something new. It seems like the feature film will be pretty loosely connected if that's all they're working off of.",
"just one long nothing and then a jumpscare at the end",
"What he deserves is for everyone to know how he fucked his crew over on this shoot. \n\nThe \"director\" promised his crew food, short days and a fun shoot. When the crew got there, there was no food, for 2 days, in a remote mountain location with no access. The talents mom had to share a totinos pizza meant for her daughter to split between 3 people as she felt sorry for them. 18 hour days in the cold, with an egotistical, all about me director who manipulates and uses people for his own profit. The DP had to pay people out of his own pocket to compensate for fuel and food they bought while leaving since the director somehow \"ran out of money\" before everyone got there. \n\nThen to top it all off, despite multiple attempts to convince him to do the right thing, he wouldn't even give his crew credit. Until they edited the Imdb page, he lied and had himself listed as DP, ect. Only his name was there despite working off the backs of 5 others. \n\nEgotistical, almost sociopathic, highly manipulative and yeah, all his shorts are so formulaic, its almost insulting. I hope Legendary does their research before greenlighting anything.\n\nToo bad people can't do the right thing and be kind to others. Never mind the manipulations and lies. \n\nBurn your crew and it tends to come back to haunt you.",
"JC really?!?!?",
"Ok, everybody RAVED over It Follows but I watched it and was not impressed. I felt absolutely nothing the entire time. Not suspense, not intrigue, not fear, nothing. What the hell am I missing? Why is it \"one of the best\"?",
"Doesn't need much, just needs the monster and then flesh it out like this one\nhttps://youtu.be/lykiTPUbtgs\n\nAnd a movie that had the same premise\nhttps://youtu.be/nD8KtgWozeM\n\nThe scene before I posted had the exact lights on and lights off in the staff rec room and the monster disappeared and appeared again in that scene",
"I thought the director's second film, **Under the Silver Lake**, was outstanding.",
"its creepy and dread-inducing really with a fucking great soundtrack by disasterpeace. plus some interesting creative choices if you look for them",
"That's what happens when you watch things everyone hypes up. I came into the film not knowing anything about it and loved it.",
"See I just didn't feel any dread and I don't remember the sound track. The only horror films I remember the soundtracks to are john carpenter's lol. What were the creative choices I missed?",
"Yeah I should have known better. The premise sounded boring to me but people were so hype about it I thought I should give it a shot.",
"I watched it alone and at night. I might just not be receptive. I don't understand what you meant by \"destruction of your ego- or your security blanket, to make your very existence feel unsettled.\" I tried to look up cosmic horror and got redirected to Lovecraftian horror, which I like but I guess doesn't frighten me?",
">Once this illusion breaks down even slightly, we're met with the semi-conscious realisation that we actually truly know nothing, and our entire conscious experience is that of delusion.\n\nOh I have anxiety and have this constantly in the back of my mind. LOL I'm starting to think the movie just wasn't scarier than the shit my brain whispers to me every day.\n\n>Then you have this entity which is ever changing, you never see it's true form, with unexplained intentions, never knowing when it could just walk through your bedroom door and destroy you, always out there coming right for you.\n\nSee to me, it was just a sexually transmitted curse. And they told us the rules of how it worked so I wasn't particularly thrown off. The form it takes is based on the people around the cursed. Original form is basically irrelevant. In my mind I was like they should make an app to track who has it. It can walk the current cursed person through what happened and monitor if that person dies and notify the next people on the list. \n\nThere are real horrors and thoughts that haunt me and follow me and I have no idea when or if they will come to me. Real things that you can't just build an app and fuck a person to fix. So I guess that's why I'm disappointed in the movie. Ultimately the horror plays by too many rules to give me dread.\n\nEdit: Oh shit I just realized my ability to be frightened by the movie might be tempered by my OCD. The whole doing specific things to ward off other things is just an everyday thing for me lol. And for waay less concrete stuff than a ghost you can shoot. I wonder if other people with OCD were also unimpressed.",
"The Lights Out short didn't really present that gimmick, that was something the full film did. It was a fair interpretation of the scene where the monster disappeared when she turned on the light though.",
"That sounds terrible! What is your source, or did you work on this film?\n\nI'm not in the film industry, but if that is true, it doesn't seem like many people would want to work with him.",
"We'll just say I was there. His entire crew refused to have anything to do with him after that. He is still brought up routinely as how people who don't deserve the spotlight often get it through manipulation lies and often being downright mean in the case of James Cameron ect.\n\nBut every time we see mention of JT we feel the record needs to be set straight. Unfortunately the guy is so self absorbed he refuses to acknowledge any of this. Check his Instagram and you'll see, it's all about him. Nothing but him talking about him, pictures of him... All him.\n\nJulian is a text book narcissist. Alex, his partner seemed less so, but Juilians true colors were clearly evident.",
"Either it's not your thing, or you weren't in the right mood for it.\n\nThere are some movies I watched in the wrong conditions or mindset, couldn't get into them, and only appreciated them years later."

"1. Nestle is awful.\n\n2. Formula is NOT AWFUL. It's not going to lead to malnourished babies. You can't tell the difference between a formula baby and a breastfed baby.\n\nSTORY TIME, copied and pasted from a previous time I wrote this:\n\nMy wife and I had taken a doctor-recommended parenting class before our daughter was born, and one thing this class said many, many times was “throw out all your formula so you’re not even tempted to use it.” So we did. When my daughter was born, she cried like crazy. My wife breastfed her as much as she could, but she couldn’t produce much…. 30 minutes of pumping would yield half an ounce. Our daughter’s weight in the first two weeks went from 8.5 lbs to 8 to 7.5 to 7. Not only that, but her height was in the 95th percentile, her head size was 99th percentile, so a lot of that weight was in things other than fat reserves. Her BMI went from 70th percentile to 6th percentile.\n\nMy wife regularly went back to the woman who taught the parenting class, because she was a breastfeeding consultant, and the woman kept saying the same things: “NEVER use formula, Your latch isn’t great, massage your boob like THIS, Your daughter needs a frenotomy, DO NOT USE FORMULA”. Per the recommendation of our teacher we started co-sleeping with the baby, so she could breastfeed all night long (which increases the chance of SIDS by 50%) We got her a frenotomy (cutting the membranes on her upper and lower lips and under her tongue for a cool $3500) to improve her latch.\n\nAfter the frenotomy, for five weeks, we had to massage the cut membranes five times a day to prevent them from re-growing. Every time she would scream and howl in pain, and there’s nothing more heartbreaking than doing that to a baby. 5 weeks times 5 times a day means we had to do that 175 times. We called it Super Fun Happy Baby Torture Time and i want to die just thinking about all the pain we caused our daughter. Oh, and our daughter’s latch didn’t improve.\n\nAt 8 weeks, she was 11 pounds. We were all completely sleep deprived, our daughter was still waking up every two hours. We had just finished our last week of Super Fun Happy Baby Torture Time. My wife still was having trouble feeding the baby. She went back to the teacher again, who sent her home with two bottles of pills that were something like $150 each. One bottle was thistle in pill form, the other was something homeopathic. My wife is a doctor. She’s really, really smart, and, under normal circumstances would never be caught dead buying an herbal or homeopathic remedy. .I had the largest fight I’ve ever had with my wife that night, because that’s when it all clicked for me.\n\nOur teacher had used a combination of authority, guilt, appeal to emotion, brainwashing, sleep deprivation, and peer pressure to get us to starve and torture our baby for two whole months. In retrospect it seems crazy but at the time we didn’t know better. This woman was recommended to us by multiple doctors for chrissakes… a large chunk of the greater Worcester Mass area goes to this woman.\n\nAfter our fight we took our daughter to the pediatrician for her two month checkup. Our pediatrician said what we already knew… our daughter wasn’t gaining enough weight. We asked about formula. She replied: “Do you know how to tell the difference between a breastfed and formula-fed baby?” I said “No”. She said “Me neither” That night I gave my daughter 4 ounces of formula. She sucked it down in about a minute. I gave her another 4 ounces, and she ate that too. She then fell asleep, and slept for ELEVEN HOURS. This was the first time she slept more than two hours. We kept checking on her constantly because we were terrified she was dead. Her weight shot up to 19lbs by the time she was 4 months, and now she’s a normal, happy child. I still feel awful about those first 8 weeks.",

"I'm not denying that beat milk is better. But.... Can you tell the difference between a formula and breast milk fed baby? No. Breastfeeding is also a huge burden on the mother. Stop acting like formula is awful. It has its place, and it doesn't deserve the bad rep it gets in first world countries",

Nike *is* making these things in sweatshops, and the conditions aren't good, etc. etc. The small redeeming factor here is that the living conditions in the countries these products are being manufactured in is rising thanks in part to the offshored manufacturing. This isn't to excuse the labor conditions or that children are doing the work, but this is a more complicated issue than you're making it out to be.\n4. Tesla is an issue in a similar way to Nestle here I suppose, but Tesla does not have the reach and impact that Nestle does.\n5. Facebook is pretty evil yes but not nearly Nestle level evil. China is using the algorithm with Facebook's tacit permission but China is the one perpetrating the evil and would do so regardless. Don't forget that they have many other tools at their disposal, you're making it sound like Facebook is the reason China can perpetrate these evils.\n\nThen the piece de resistance, you reduce the Nestle problem to \"buying city water and bottling it\". Did you even watch the video? Nestle's actions are equivalent to infanticide and direct child slavery. They're aware of it and instead of addressing it, they pour ridiculous amounts of money into marketing to get around it.",

Daughter was born 3 months prem and just never took to the nipple), then you should always choose breast.\n\nIf you don't though/can't for whatever reason, then formula is an excellent substitute.\n\nThe issue is that Nestle (particularly Nestle, but other companies too) spend millions of dollars on disinformation campaigns to convince women in developing countries that formula is massively better/preferable to breast. \n\nThe end result of this is lots of women who can't afford formula making terrible sacrifices to get it (i.e. not eating properly themselves), as well as making it with unsafe water, and - worst of all so far as baby's health goes - diluting it down to the nth degree (because they can't afford the stuff), so their babies end up malnourished tf, even though mother had a perfectly good supply of \"free milk\" when she could afford to feed herself properly.\n\nNestle are scum.",
"So, no. You have followed an advice from an asshole. But, in my opinion, you are mistaken about using formula or not being the same.\n\nMy wife breastfed our child for 2 years. It was tough, but our kid DIDN'T want formula. But her collefrom work forced the formula on their kids. In the end, our kid got 4 or 5 fevers, all after 6 months until 4 years. Her colleagues all went down with bronchiolitis near the 3red month.\n\nIt's not evidence, just like your case, but it's proven that, WHEN POSSIBLE, breastfeeding is better.",
"Family practice doctor here. Sadly but not surprisingly enough, this is a really common situation. Yes, we try to avoid formula in order to give breastfeeding every chance, but for fuck's sake, sometimes there's just no alternative.\n\nSad fact that will make you feel awful: I have cut many frenotomies on infants with ankyloglossia. At 3 weeks of age, the only tool needed for this is a glove and a pair of sharp iris scissors. Done in office, I believe this bills insurance for about $50. You must have gone for the needlessly expensive and invasive LASER OPTION! I have never mandated anything like your Super Fun Happy Baby Torture Time, and this is in fact the first time I've ever heard of needing to massage those poor recently cut tissues. I've never heard of or seen a frenulum growing back following this procedure. If SFHBTT was necessary following these, I'm certain Dr. Baines or Asada or Linden or Johnston or any of the other docs I trained with would have mentioned it.\n\nANYWAY... thanks for sharing. Hope you've got a happy healthy kid there.",
"Women experience enough bullying, trauma, and pressure after birth as is. People like the consultant in your story prey on that extremely stressful time to make it even worse.\n\nImagine being told the only acceptable way to feed your baby is with breastmilk, anything else is fake, malnutrition, and will ruin your child's chances in life. Now imagine being unable to produce enough breast milk. \n\nIn that highly emotional situation it's very easy to come to the conclusion that you must be a terrible mother who can't even feed your child. The pressure is manufactured and absolutely insane, and a major contributor to postpartum depression and PTSD.\n\nI agree Nestlé is fucking evil, and pushing formula in places where the water is tainted, to mothers who can breastfeed is evil. But formula is absolutely not way worse, it is not neglecting or malnourishing your child, and this video oh so casually acting like it is is contributing to a climate that is absolutely horrible for new mothers. \n\nI know that's not the creator's intention, but especially with video essays, which use a lot of style and technical flourishes to make themselves seem more scientific and truthful, it's really important to monitor what you're putting out there and be absolutely sure it's not wrong or harmful.",

"Probably more important is the price. Breastfeeding is as cheap as can be. Tricking third world women into not breastfeeding and buying formula instead is fucked up.",
"They gave multiple weeks of formula. A marketing idea would be maybe a week, but they chose to do multiple weeks expecting the women to not breastfeed at that time(they market the formula as healthier than mothers milk due to environmental factors). Not breastfeeding for weeks causes many, not all, but a LOT of women's milk to dry up. This was definitely deliberate, why would a multi billion dollar company, heavily invested in baby products, not know that this would happen? Either unbelievably evil or insanely negligent, both horrible as this led to the already poor people to either pay more for clean water plus formula or let their newborns starve. In the lightest, most optimistic view, it was not purposeful, but once these reports came in they choose to keep doing it and not help the people they essentially fucked over/killed. This is just as evil to me.",

Really, the postwar consensus between 1945 and 1995 was more of an outlier, and what we're experiencing now is a reversion to mean.\n\nAnd, I guess you're right in so far as there's a broader set of inputs into political discourse than there was in the three-channel network TV news era, but reading about the Civil War and Antebellum eras, and the early 20th Century which followed it, there was plenty of marginal discourse and radical ideologies. But back then, the political system was *manifestly* more corrupt, so people like the Wobblies weren't going to get their foot in the door.\n\nWashington's Farewell Address is mostly an appeal to the voters to be wary of factionalism, so that tells you that self-motivated politicians stoking ideological arguments has been with our country more or less since it was founded.",
"lntelligent people tend to underestimate their intelligence and less intelligent people tend to overestimate their intelligence… i.e. Dunning-Kruger",
"Wait, the left extremists are pro corporations now? Also judges and government? I dunno about that one.",
"Tell my wife I said ... hello.",
"I mean, it depends on the comedian. Humans are better at sensing honesty than people imagine.\n\nNot everything can just be excused as \"just a joke\".",
"I disagree pretty hardcore. I don't really understand why people think they promote thinking when the last scene of every episode is them vicariously telling the audience what their opinion is on the topic for each episode.",
"That response is driven by an awareness that most “ideologies” people espouse are reductive, self-serving in some way, and get hypocritically weaponized. When people get overly serious about ideological issues is often when they stop being fun to be around. \n\nSetting aside the juvenile streak, I would describe South Park’s morality as: \n\nA) having enough detachment to view all debates and actions critically, dispassionately, and with nuance (everyone should try to have this)\n\nB) a Bernie-bro sort of aggressive conviction that those who are actually underprivileged and lack resources should be more protected, while many who are not underprivileged are full of shit and try to create narratives of adversity for themselves (or for others) to masquerade as victims or as virtuous. \n\nC) if nothing else, they definitely value good humor and using it to help themselves and others exist in a fucked-up world.",
"Can’t help but think (of all things) of a lyric from Wicked;\n\n*”There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities, so we act as though they don’t exist.”*",
"I will preface this by saying that I agree with the left on these issues almost completely, but to act like they're undeniably correct is arrogance of the highest order.\n\nAbortion is a tricky situation, as most people (or at least voters) who are against it see themselves as protecting those that can't protect themselves. From a purely rational standpoint, that embryo will some day be an adult without any external intervention (in broad stokes, obviously miscarriage happens), so they see Abortion as equivalent to murder. It makes a certain degree of sense from that perspective, and thus there isn't a fundamentally \"right\" answer. \n\nLGBTQ+ rights are also tricky. It's already illegal to discriminate against them in any meaningful way, and actually past the point that many would consider tyrannical (i.e.My private business HAS to serve people that I don't personally like?). The issues that you tend to see now are more interpersonal, with the exception typically falling around how to deal with trans people in social settings. Writing legislation around less than %1 of the population doesn't make much sense in general, and when you consider the underlying nature of gender dysphoria it becomes very muddy indeed.\n\nHealthcare as a right makes good sense, obviously, but it's also an undeniable fact that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry has created roughly 44% of the innovations in the last century. Now, I'm not saying that this will stay the case in the future, nor am I saying that it justifies the disgusting healthcare system currently in place. I'm saying that there's an argument to be made against completely tearing down the old way. Namely, it's worked for quite a while.\n\nTL;DR shit is complicated, and none of us are as smart as we think.",
"They also famously love the police",
"I didn't say that it didn't exist in the past. \n \nBut you weren't bombarded with it like you do today. \n \nYou didn't have 24/7 everywhere access to everything, to millions of people who shared the same nut ideas as you. You weren't connected all the time. You had mostly off periods from social network (which only existed through actual interactions). \nYou didn't just shared some unknown person idea to other millions of people in a stroke of a keyboard. If you read something or see something on TV, it was from real people who you knew for the most part (even in press). \n \nSo how media is accessing us is completely different. You can't escape it, you actually yearn for it more now. \n \nSo we are way more easily manipulated and way more easily accessible to those who want to put more on our mind, easier to access our fear and more ideas that are their own.",
"Gotta love it when people who get paid millions of dollars to give their opinions get triggered when someone gives their opinion on a random social media site.",
"How about the extremism of forcing peaceful people to do your will? That's what governments do, and yet few people think it's extremist.",
">You can't escape it.\n\nSure you can, just swipe past it. The deal is that people *won't*, they can't seem to help themselves. In a digital economy where every click is revenue, there is an incentive to just write stuff with no other goal than to provoke people. But I'm somewhat skeptical that it's actually succeeding at manipulating people, quite the reverse. The backfire effect is real, and I honestly believe that the incessant focus on political hysteria is desensitizing people to it. Sure, it feels great if what you're getting in your feed panders to your pre-existing biases, but if it doesn't, people tune it out.",
"ahh the ol \"both sides are equally bad\" narrative.\n\nIt's not true, i dont find perpetuating this myth funny.",
"Yeah, but John Cleese is also brilliant.",
"It's like when all the religions got together to condemn Charlie Abdo's conduct instead of denouncing the murderous and violent insanity done in the name of one of the iron-aged fever fantasies.",
"Specifically because conservative comedy in America has, in recent years, existed solely to push a message and he used as a weapon against the late night talk show hosts that made fun of them.",
"> The deal is that people won't, they can't seem to help themselves. \n \nJust to remind you, you are also in a social media site that shows you posts based on what it thinks you would like. \n \nEveryone is on some social media. Even if you think you aren't, you are. From reddit to facebook to google groups to linkedin to some technical site you frequently go on etc. \n \nYou can't \"just swipe past it\", unless you live in a cave with no reception, in which case, you aren't really here as well. \n \n> But I'm somewhat skeptical that it's actually succeeding at manipulating people \n \n*cough* you are here aren't you? \nRedding is right now as you read this, is monetizing on you. And it showed you on this post in your list, because it knows you read these types of posts.",
"So what if I'm here? My opinions are not being altered by what I read. Just because content foments argument does not mean it foments *change*. It's just like Cleese said: If you're a person who is very angry and resentful, and looking for someone to blame, you can find it. The only difference is that now there's a medium where you can express that anger and resentment, whereas twenty-five years ago, it was much harder.\n\nBottom line, stupid opinions are not contagious. The stupidity was in us all along.",
"Ahh, you're one of those \"there's only 2-sides-ists\" I've heard about!",
"?",
"!",
"> My opinions are not being altered by what I read.\n\nYour opinions do change, even if you are not willing to admit it to yourself. They might strengthen in their validity, they might shake a bit. You might change maybe to total truth. \nSaying they don't change, is 100% denial. \n \n> If you're a person who is very angry and resentful, and looking for someone to blame, you can find it. \n \nAnd you are doing exactly that here. \nYou don't think it changed you, so you argue you are not changed. You want to argue you are not changed. You need to prove it. \nExactly what he said, but you are on that list of people who need to argue. \n \n> Bottom line, stupid opinions are not contagious. The stupidity was in us all along. \n \nBut you wouldn't act on that stupidity before, as it was harder to meet similar people. Now it is much harder, so you can all be stupid together, and be even more stupid than before, and drag other people with you.",
">Your opinions do change, even if you are not willing to admit it to yourself.\n\nSure, my opinions change. My opinions change based on *reason*, not sophistry. You know, things like facts, evidence, and rational argument. Which is not what you're doing, FWIW. What you're doing is exhorting an assertion, which is not bolstered by evidence.\n\n>You need to prove it.\n\nI don't need to prove anything. If you assert something without evidence, like you're doing now, then I can deny it without evidence. I'm saying people aren't sheep, and you're saying they are, so **YOU** go ahead and show me **PROOF** that reading a Reddit post I don't believe is going to change my mind. Good luck with that.",
"> My opinions change based on reason, not sophistry.\n\nAnd mostly, you don't know that. You base religious and political ideas based on facts gave to you by sources you feel are creditable, who might or might not shape those facts just a bit to sway you to this area of thinking or another. \nThinking you are immune base on \"reason\" is so condescending and completely naive. \n \n> If you assert something without evidence \n \nThe crap load of studies showing all the evidence you need, are overwhelming. \nThis is not about one reddit post. This is about being drawn and being shown what it is suggested you do.",

"One of the best tv show",
"You can’t be like this, man. We’ve outgrown the laugh track, and I also agree that comedies are better without it, but that doesn’t mean a show can’t be good it it has one. Otherwise all of the absolute classics from the 90s and before are just not good anymore? Nah, they still own.",

"I live in the states and watched it as it was airing. Your point?",
"My point is the show needs more recognition and it’s underrated HERE. It’s probably a hit in the UK. Are you saying all your peers know The IT Crowd? no its rare to find someone who knows it!",
"No, you don't. You don't do what you *can*. You do what's convenient to you, exactly the same as me. \n\nIf you were doing what you *can* you wouldn't be able to communicate with me right now because you wouldn't incentivise the massive industries that are actually killing the planet by giving them your money. \n\nI'm sorry you were raised by people who taught you cosmetic gestures are meaningful.",
"I've installed solar panels and a mini-turbine. Any extra energy is bought off me and put into the grid or if extra is required I am on a green only plan that uses green only sources for energy to provide the wattage I require.\n\nPlease, try again to justify your littering.",
"Ah yes those green energy sources that were magically imagined into existence by the chinese elves. Not produced in such a way that their total energy output before they expire will never be justified by the amount of pollution created manufacturing them. \n\nI don't need to justify anything to hypocrites. I haven't tried to justify anything to you because you are as shitty as I am, I'm just open about it while you try desperately to fight off the cognitive dissonance.",
"I think the whole thing is a damp squid",
"Alright, I see there's nothing of value left to gleam here..\n\nKeep littering champ.",
"The Eastern European boyfriend that Fran gets in Black Books was a bit like that too. Quite a long piece (B-plot of an entire episode).",
"Yeah it never feels good to have your hypocrisy laid out in front of you. You just need to accept unless you kill yourself you're going to be killing the environment. Not saying which you should do but there are *a lot* of people and you don't really seem special. I mean, if you really care like you say you do...\n\nWill do. Keep making those cosmetic and completely ineffective gestures for social credit big guy.",
"Lol, sure you do Chachi. Sure you do.\n\nI'm sure you probably fantasize about acting tough like that, probably since someone did it to you. Sounds like something your mom's boyfriend Doug did to you once, then he probably made fun of you when you started crying. Ever since then it's what you think a tough guy does. Shit, you probably even started smoking just so you could be tough like Doug. So yeah, you fantasize about doing it... but you would never actually blow cigarette smoke directly in someone's face, because deep down you're still the weak little bitch Doug always knew you were, and you know that you'd probably get your face punched in because, for all your bluster, you've never actually been in a real fight.\n\nSo tell us again how much you love being a useless asshole. We're all impressed. Except for Doug. He'll never respect you",
"This is one of my favorite scenes in this show!",
"A good 60-70% of my peers have seen at least the first season and have dropped quotes.",
"Cool wish I could relate",
"Man, I loved Black Books so much. What a great show.",
"Wow this is incredibly pathetic. Imagine taking the time to write all that and actually feeling proud enough to submit it. Tragic.",
"Lol, Doug was right. You really are a wannabe bully. Go blow smoke somewhere else.\n\nedit: you're also a hypocrite, since you spent an hour arguing about what you do with your butts. Tragic.",
"Your the type of person who makes people want to ban smokers from every where. I'd wage that I during the day you meet an ass hole in the morning and at night.",
"-How are you?\n\n-I'm disabled.",
"Take a look at this twats comment history. Dude is a fucking loon. It reads as he was born and out a 1000 years to late. Granted even then they still would have exiled him cause he's an asshole.",
"Katherine was *so* much fun on Taskmaster, too.",
"So this was how I sounded on the early 00s when I said I didn’t want anything to do with anything from before the 90s, huh. \n\nTalk about “cringe”",
"LAUGH TRACK INTENSIFIES.",
"What was he doing to get throat cancer?",
"Good thing theres a frontloaded laugh track so I know not to waste my time on this",

"They tried, filmed a pilot with that guy from community. It was...not funny at all.",
"FIRE exclamation mark... FIRE exclamation mark...",
"Countdown!",
"Looking forward to hearing from you!",
"Nice",
"As a disabled person, the line \"Im disabled...\" Is still excruciatingly funny from this episode. \n\nAble bodied people can be so strange around disability. They capture that weirdness from both directions as Roy is panicking over being perceived as disabled. While the staff give him the condescending knitted brow of \"oh isn't he so brave for being out\".\n\nIt's a fairly pitch perfect joke about how weird people are around disability, something I see first hand all the time.",
"It's a great gag within the show. Particularly being British and trooping around grim city-scapes in winter, it can feel pretty soviet and grim. There are some towns/cities I can't go to now without thinking about this scene.\n\nEquating work life with pretty much a soviet gulag is harsh joke, but a wonderful example of black humour. And a joke which somehow really rings true!",
"Yeah I am acutely aware of moments, such as in this clip, where I might smile slightly at a wry observation, but in no world would anyone guffaw like on the track. It feels false and desperate in a way that is pushed upon the production in the edit. Back in the 90s it was already a hack contrivance for sticoms. That said, sitcoms make a ton of money, and isn't that what really matters?"

"Can we just appreciate how much better their hairstyles were compared to the 80s in the west?",
"Citypop is great, but just to be clear, the song in this video is just 80s Jpop, not citypop.",
">There is no unified consensus among scholars regarding the definition of city pop. In Japan, the tag simply referred to music that projected an \"urban\" feel and whose target demographic was urbanites. Many of the artists did not embrace the Japanese influences of their predecessors, and instead, largely drew from American soft rock, boogie, and funk. Some examples may also feature tropical flourishes or elements taken from disco, jazz fusion, Okinawan, Latin and Caribbean music. Singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, who was among the genre's pioneers and most successful artists, is sometimes called the \"king\" of city pop.",
"Yeah, I'm aware, and I understand the trying to define music genres is a fool's errand... but if the link posted is citypop, then tons of 80s jpop music could be considered citypop. I'm just trying to help BarksAtStupid with their future searches, bc searching for citypop is going to get you mostly artists like Tatsuro Yamashita, Mariya Takeuchi, Omega Tribe, Hiroshi Sato, etc. whereas you'd rarely see Yoko Oginome come up.",
"City Pop is making a nice comeback right now. As someone that grew up with it in the early 90’s it makes me very happy. I always felt it never got a fair shake.\n\nThis song isn’t city pop though.",

"Awesome, I’d love more videos of common idioms & their origins.",
"Very cool!",
"Those dead doornails at the bottom of the door are crooked.",
"what is it about the aesthetic of this video that is so satisfying?",
"I would say it’s not a video of some guy standing there talking, but someone slowly and silky smooth talking about nailing wood while showing how it’s done so you don’t have to visualize it.",
"I had no idea about this technique for securing a nail. Very interesting and useful.",
"I feel I should've already known this as a 25y carpenter veteran lol......\n\n🤷♂️ now I do",
"Insightful and straight to the point. I liks that.",
"Thanks this was a cool video to stumble across.",
"Before you burn your house to collect it's nails, know that they will need to be annealed before they can be used again.",
"His voice",
"The narrators totally neutral voice is like if a dictionary could talk, no emotional investment so you can just enjoy learning a quick fact without anything else involved, just like looking up something in a dictionary.",
"His voice is the opposite of all those fake overly enthusiastic narration voices you typically get on YouTube. I love it.",
"wouldn't burning the house down and having the nails slowly cool over the course of a couple days as the embers die down be about as close to a perfect annealing as you could hope for?",
"For a tl;dw - nails from older times were used differently than modern nails. For some applications you just use them normally, but for **door nails** you sharply bend them over and hammer them into an adjacent piece of wood. Nails were valuable back in the day because they were hand-made...to the point of recovering nails when/wherever you could. This sharp bend means the \"door nail\" cannot be removed, un-bent, reused. It's a \"dead nail\".",
"In my experience, they've always bent.",
"Lol damn people need tl;dw's for 2 minute videos now?",
"stop burning down houses",
"This guy needs to start a YouTube channel where he just reads refrigerator manuals.",
"It's an effective way of closing the gap between boards that are being joined for wider panels like tabletops or doors or even boats. The term is called Clinching (sometimes Clenching), and works really well. Often a separate piece of iron is used to clench while driving the nail in one operation. https://youtu.be/240NwYVCnew check at 4:00",
"I kept on reading Dead Ass in the title.\n\nThen I looked up all the slang definitions of Dead Ass, trying to figure out how this was a Dead Ass Nail.\n\nOnly to realize, when I started typing this comment, that it said \"Dead As\"",
"Proabably because of the lack of audio or something like that. Or exceptionally lazy.",
"Must have been a conspiracy by big nails to make people buy more nails.",
"Well sometimes people can't watch the video. I've been sitting in the waiting room with no headphones many times wondering what the video said.",
"I agree. I learned 2 things at once, from 2 sensory stimuli and got a double dose of feel-good brain-syrups. Very satisfied.",
"What should be pointed out is the nails used are cut nails as opposed to wire nails.",
"So, why they did it is so people don't run around stealing their nails?",
"/r/mildlyinteresting",
"It took 15 seconds to read that summary. That's 8x faster than watching the video.",
"As long as beating a dead horse has nothing to do with animal husbandry.",

"I was actually wondering about this expression just the other day - now I know!",
"You’re dead as a doornail now smalls",
"If this was a 10 episode series I probably would have watched it all tonight",
"Because dead nailing made the joint much stronger, as the nail is \"hooked\" into the wood",
"but nails!\n\nWith lack of raw materials and laborers, it MIGHT be cheaper to burn the houses down to get nails.",
"Good stuff but why *door* nail? Based on the expression then it seems nails in a door were most often to be dead-nailed, so then that's what I'd like and explanation for.",
"Took him longer to write than to watch",
"I'd love to hear him read New York Times wedding announcements. Just his monotonous voice saying all that uselessly flowery language.",
"And the more you know star flies over",
"One thing Jeffery Epstein is not!",
"Now do dumber than a bag of hammers",
"It's funny how there are so many idioms people use without knowing their true origins. \n\nI've never stopped to think where the expression came from. If someone asked me what it meant, I have no idea what I would've said or what I would've assumed the origin was.",
"That was awesome.",
"Reminds me of Joe Pera",
"Are nails not capable of being melted down and re-forged into newer nails?",
"Pure speculation: it may be cause it's a common sight for dead nails? \n\nWhile the technique may be used elsewhere, this might be the most visible application.",
"Neigh, tis mearly rule of thumb /s",
"Because they are annealed. \n\nAnnealing (heating then cooling slowly) softens steel. Quenching (heating then cooling quickly) hardens. Tempering (heating, but not as much) Brings some softness back so it is not too hard and brittle.",
"As long as animal husbandry has nothing to do with wedlock.",
"and also that skin of your teeth has nothing to do with dentistry.",
"Its the nat sound and sound editing. Makes you feel like you are there, just hanging out, listening to him talk while while he pounds some doornails.\n\nYou will see (hear) this a lot in good news packages.",
"If only he'd told us to like and subscribe. Then the video would really be perfect.",
"kick the bucket refers to farmers hanging themselves from the rafters of their barns...they would stand on a bucket and then kick it out from under themself with a noose around their neck \n\n'waiting for the other shoe to drop' dates back to immigrants living in tenement housing at the turn of the century with paper thin walls, where they would hear the person living about them taking their shoes off after coming back from work",
"Gets straight to the damn point without a bunch of aimless waffling or requests to Like and Subscribe.",
"Dashner Restorations, Pocket83, and Mathias Wandel seem very similar to me. You might enjoy their videos",
"He really hit it out of the park with this video. His other videos lean towards other subjects and styles but this one has all the fluff cut out, has the aesthetics, and keeps interest high.",
"I really enjoyed that.",
"Whats up guys so today we're gonna talk about the phrase dead a door nail. but first i wanna talk to you about raid shadow legends. [ad] now back to the video, and make sure you SMASH that like button, hit the subscribe button and ring the bell.",
"Last 20 years changed that.",
"That was really informative.",
"Huh. That's interesting. Thanks.",
"Informative! But sheesh, get a pair of pliers.",
"Wow, I did not know that I needed to know this!",
"Reminds me of Binging with Babish. Calm soothing voice, explaining some interesting process to you, without any fluff or the ADHD nonsense that a lot of youtubers use to keep your attention.",
"The Dickensian fame to which he's referring:\n\n>...Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. \n> \n>Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.\n\n\\- *A Christmas Carol*, 1843",
"This is an awesome way to introduce yourself to the internet.",
"Watch the (9 hour!) series, [The Story of English](http://www.infocobuild.com/books-and-films/social-science/the-story-of-english.html). It's a bit dated (1986), but it's amazing.\n\nThere's a whole section (I can't remember what episode) on naval idioms. Because the English empire was made possible in large parts by it's seafaring traditions, the English language is full of idioms that originated from sailing. Some are obvious (three sheets to the wind) and others not at all (a square meal).",
"This shit is what the internet promised. Great video 👍",
"That would make me as happy as a clam at high tide!",
"Also speculating, but doors experience a lot of impacts and vibration. If you didn't dead-nail, the nails would probably vibrate loose.",
"This is really fucking interesting, no joke",
"The cost is in work of forging, not the raw material.",
"I think it is both because the door boards are not being nailed to something, so the nail penetrates the far side of the work (unlike most other uses of nails), but also because the clinching the nail makes it impossible to remove the nail from the outside to gain entry, which is also unique to doors.",
"> kick the bucket refers to farmers hanging themselves from the rafters of their barns...they would stand on a bucket and then kick it out from under themself with a noose around their neck\n\nThis is one of those things I've literally never thought about beyond just the saying, but having it explained it makes perfect sense now thanks!",
"You do not bend the nail across the grain. You bend the nail with the grain. That way instead of looking like yours do with the nail on top of the wood, if you bend with the grain the nail will embed itself into the wood. Made many doors with my dad. I remember the first time him giving me shit for bending the nail over the grain instead of with it. It will look much better if you bend those nails 90d off what you did. You don't use a pair of plyers. you hit it at an angle so the nail bends over instead of coming out. Never ever used plyers and never had a nail pop on the other side.",
"Just a guess here, but doors move and are slammed shut. A wall for example is a fixed object, most of the stresses it experience are static. But the dynamic stresses the door experience would back nails right out. That's why we see screws in places like this in modern applications.",
"This might be one of the most interesting pieces of useless information I have ever learned. I can't wait to share it.",
"They are. But 150+ years ago that look a skilled craftsman to do and a lot of specialized tools most people didn't have.",
"I like this",
"This is like the \"you suck at cooking\" guy, but in a garage, and a slight Canadian accent.\n\nSauce: https://youtu.be/pnlNqAmCCgw",
"Funny that even then the meaning of the saying was lost.",
"~~Nailed It.~~ Nail Dead.",
"And as long as having sex with a horse has nothing to do with beastiality. \n\nI honestly never understood the idiom of \"I'm so hungry I could fuck a horse,\" like how does that make sense? Why would you not fuck a human? Why not just eat if you are hungry?\n\nMaybe I am missing the point. To be fair, I don't understand symbolism and am viciously incoherent in nearly every capacity. Maybe it's a motif I guess or parallelogram of some kind.",
"Why did I always think it was \"dead as a doorknob\" lol",
"Also wood rots, and old houses sometimes need to be either abandoned or torn down and rebuilt. \n\nThere are still very old houses/small buildings (built in the middle ages old) that are still around.\n\nBut I'm sure that if you were a famer who inherited a house in really bad shape it might be worth it to take out all the wood that you can, then burn the rest to the ground and rebuild with the reclaimed lumber, nails, etc.",
"It's \"eat a horse\" SMH... and not that kind of eating... Lol",
"Dead as a doornail as one might say",
"No discount codes for Blue Chew, Better Help or Manscape Lawnmower 5000",
"i wish more youtube was like this",
"This is awesome, thank you!",
"Lol.",
"I read an article once that the burning of the houses for the nails was a bit of a myth or at least extremely rare. I believe the origin was in New England, settlers would come for a short term lumber job and send wood back to England, and since they didn't live there long, they built poorly constructed shacks to live in. When they left America, a few might have burned the shack for the nail scrap. \n\nThe people in charge thought that was short sided and bad for business, it would be better to keep the houses for the next group, so they made a law that said, no burning houses for nails. \n\nThe point is, it was not a super common practice, and I'm not even sure if it was effective. Some guys did it, and some boss said \"don't do that again\" on paper.",

"The rule of thumb was always the creepiest to me as people use it all the time.\n\nThat you can beat your wife with a stick as long as it’s smaller than your thumb. Of course the origin is muddy; bud damn.",
"Is it wrong that I hear this in the voice of a Muppet? I think Gonzo.",
"Thank you for not being the type of person to play videos with the sound on in a waiting room.",
"To be fair, \"Eat\" in Japan can be slang for \"Fuck\"",
"I'm really smart and know for certain whether or not you're joking, but my idiot friend doesnt, and he wanted to add:\n\nAre you mixing \"so hungry I could eat a horse\" together with \"screw the pooch\"? Because I'm pretty sure/really hoping that \"screw the pooch\" is the only bestiality-based idiom we have in English\n\nEdit: LPT if you don't want to learn any more cool beastiality terms, don't ask questions about them online",
"That housing sounds like my apartment complex!",
"I never thought I'd see such a boring topic made into such an interesting video narrated by such a boring voice.",
"Technically it does. Husbandry traditionally means the care of a household (extends to crops and livestock), which in a patriarchal society would be done by a man. Ergo husband.\n\nAnd Wife is a modern spelling of the Old English Wif, which means woman. Many Romance languages do not use wife, but use their form of woman. So a husband would be \"my man\" and wife would be \"my woman\".",

"> kick the bucket refers to farmers hanging themselves from the rafters of their barns...they would stand on a bucket and then kick it out from under themself with a noose around their neck\n\nIt *could* refer to that, but it's not clear so I wouldn't say it's definitive.\n\nThe Oxford English Dictionary thinks this is more likely: [An archaic use of bucket was a beam from which a pig is hung by its feet prior to being slaughtered, and to kick the bucket originally signified the pig's death throes. The OED finds this a more plausible theory.](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kick_the_bucket)\n\nI'm inclined to agree with them.

"**[Rule of thumb](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb)** \n \n >Rule of thumb is an approximate method for doing something, based on practical experience rather than theory. This usage of the phrase can be traced back to the seventeenth century and has been associated with various trades where quantities were measured by comparison to the width or length of a thumb. A modern folk etymology holds that the phrase is derived from the maximum width of a stick allowed for wife-beating under English common law, but no such law ever existed. This belief may have originated in a rumored statement by eighteenth-century judge Sir Francis Buller that a man may beat his wife with a stick no wider than his thumb.\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)",

Bending those cold may have introduced stress fractures -- not enough for the dead nail not to hold the door together (which is why strap hinges extended across all the boards of the door) but enough that unbending that nail (cold) would likely break it. \n\nHowever, if the door was burned to recover the nails (unlikely, as doors represented a lot of work and the entire door could be reused as such) the nails would then be normalized so, in principal, could be reused. But any stress fractures incurred during the original bending would remain unless the nails were taken up to welding temperatures (\\~2300 F ?) and reforged -- a process simply not worth the time and effort.\n\nI rather suspect that door nails were called dead simply because they could not be pulled, as could a nail driven straight.

If you think it was morally horrific I have to ask you to consider this- \n\nWhat is better, killing 250,000--300,000 civilians and soldiers mostly in an instant with an Atomic Bomb, or killing Millions with bombs bullets and knives?

He also gave them his youngest daughter, Filianore, promising he would come for her. As long as Filianore sleeps, the Ringed City will remain pristine.\n\nWhat occurred between then and the first fading of the Flame is not exactly clear, and the final fate of the Pygmy is uncertain, as he is no longer featured in history after those events mentioned.\n\nAccording to Kaathe, the Primordial Serpent, the Pygmy had foreseen the Age of Dark at the end of the Age of Fire. Fearing the Dark and Humanity, Gwyn sacrificed himself to rekindle the First Flame and forcibly began a new Age of Fire.\n\nBy the time of Dark Souls, the Furtive Pygmy is all but forgotten by the world, though some are still aware of their origins. In Dark Souls II, the group known as the Pilgrims of Dark appear to worship a Dark Lord of some sort, though it is never stated if this refers to the Furtive Pygmy.\n\nWhile the First Flame can be linked, the amount of time each Link gives to an Age of Fire is unknown; this is partially the reason that Lothric refused to participate: the Age of Dark being inevitable.

This is a one tool operation. It's faster, easier, and more precise that way than with the stupid adjustable wrenches.\n\nWhile we're at it - I've removed nails that were bent into staples like this - you do it with two claw hammers. One is positioned with the claw against the bent-over part of the nail, and then you strike the head of that hammer with the other hammer. This will drive the claw of the prying hammer under the bent-over nail, and with a quick crank you can extract the tip. You can bend it straight enough using the technique I described in the prior paragraph for it to be pulled out from the other side.\n\nLastly, this has every hallmark of a false etymology.

Period.\n\n1st bomb was dropped August 6th the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima\n\nOn August 9th the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki \n\nJapan surrendered August 15th\n\n>. . . the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is, indeed, incalculable, taking the toll of many innocent lives. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization.Such being the case, how are we to save the millions of our subjects, or to atone ourselves before the hallowed spirits of our imperial ancestors? This is the reason why we have ordered the acceptance of the provisions of the joint declaration of the powers\n\nBefore the 9th there were no plans to accept the unconditional surrender,, the 10th, 12th, 13th and 14th passed without the acceptance of the cabinet to allow surrender....To say it was about \"Saving face\" is crazy, It was only after there was *an attempted COUP* that was successfully defended against by forces loyal to the Emperor that the surviving ministers signed the agreement to convene the meeting where the Emperor took control back from the military and drafted the surrender announcement, if not for those bombs that never would have happened.\n\nIf not for the Atomic bombings there is absolutely 0 chance the Japanese were going to surrender without massive and horrifying casualties from an amphibious landing and land invasion of the home islands. \n\nLiterally 100s of Japanese officials and ministers were executed for wanting to and attempting to influence accepting surrender\n\nThere is absolutely 0 evidence that Japan was willing to accept the terms and surrender before those bombs were dropped, 0, if you have some please drop it into the conversation, their talking to the Russians wasn't \"suing for peace\" it was them asking the Russians to talk to the US about offering more lenient surrender terms and complaining, they were barely even official talks, and frankly, there was no reason to offer more lenient terms, unconditional surrender or gtfo, otherwise you left Japan with its power structure in place and its ill gotten territory secured....unacceptable terms given the situation imo.",

"Dave Ramsey is a fraud and a grade A A-hole.",
"Dave Ramsey cares more about money than human life. He can go fuck himself.\n\n> In December 2020, a complaint was filed with the Franklin health department alleging that caterers hired for the Ramsey Solutions Christmas party at its company headquarters were **instructed not to wear masks or gloves while serving**, which the company later confirmed to the local NBC affiliate. Ramsey Solutions responded that there was no truth to the complaint. The company had drawn attention earlier in the pandemic for remaining open after employees tested positive for the virus, for ignoring recommendations to avoid large gatherings, and for hosting a July business conference after the Marriott hotel cancelled citing safety concerns.\n\n>On his radio show and in staff meetings, **Ramsey railed against face coverings and other COVID-19 precautions, calling them \"a sign of fear\"**. On his March 2, 2020 show, he mocked concerned ticket holders for his upcoming live events, calling anyone who wanted a refund a \"wuss\" and insisting that he would be attending the upcoming \"Live Like No One Else\" cruise “by my freaking self” if necessary.\n\nfrom [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Ramsey#COVID-19_response)",

"That's a lot of tubing. GE and other companies have been investing a lot into 3d printing to drop the part counts. [Back in 2017 they went from 855 parts to 12](https://www.ge.com/news/reports/mad-props-3d-printed-airplane-engine-will-run-year). Recently they [\"combined more than 300 engine parts into just seven 3D-printed components\"](https://www.ge.com/additive/stories/3d-printed-jet-engine-meet-team-young-engineers-brought-3d-printing-inside-ge9x-worlds-largest). That technology keeps advancing with tooling to allow engineers to tackle problems in drastically new ways.\n\nYou can see how many CNCs and various equipment they're using with all their alloys. As 3d printing combines parts and integrates all the tubing into the body there will be a time when they'll grind up large components for the resources and just 3d print new ones. Same transition is already happening with rocket engines.",

"Benefits: Ease of entry and baseline quality of code will likely go up\n\nDetriments: Fewer creative solutions, less job security and more risk of outsourcing, and any oversights or security flaws replicated across a wide variety of software",
"\\> inb4 inevitable \"programmer jobs are at risk\"\n\nThis alarm has been sounded anytime a tool that made programming easier came along for the last 20 years. The opposite has always been true. Github copilot will not make you understand the underlying concepts of the code that it auto completes, and therefore isn't much better than copying and pasting off stack overflow in terms of writing quality software.\n\nI've seen co workers struggle to write code, completely ignoring perfectly valid Github copilot suggestions simply because they did not understand the language or the feature they were working on properly.\n\nGithub copilot only makes your more efficient at what you know, it does not solve problems or code solutions for you.\n\nEDIT: This is not to say that programmer jobs aren't at risk from AI - they are, just not right now and probably not before AI can automate away almost every other job.",
"Yeah, any idiot can implement literally any algorithm. You just google it and there it is: copy, paste, done. It's pretty rare to be doing something literally no one has ever done before (and usually, if you are, you *shouldn't* be).\n\n\nThe trick is knowing when to select an algorithm in the first place, how to structure the code overall, understanding the runtime environment, and so on.",
">Yeah, any idiot can implement literally any algorithm.\n\nNo. I've tried to teach high school students how to program and maybe one in three could be a professional programmer. The others just don't have the abilities. At least that's my experience.",
"Yeah, I think I need to define my terms more specifically! In this case idiot = \"someone who considers themselves a programmer or has an interest in it\".",
"It's not even out of preview and this is the first pass. I think you are overestimating most developers capabilities. How many \"correct\" to write a basic web app, to connect to a database, parse json etc in any given language/framework are there really? You gotta understand that this training set is really only the 2nd or 3rd layer of a more complex AI solution. If this is where it stopped then I'd agree with your statement, but this is just the beginning and unfortunately your experience of this product and those like it in this stage is something very unique to this time in history. Where you sorta echo the old stable masters of Chicago watching the first few model Ts roll by and claiming boldly they would never replace a physical horse! What do you think they are doing with the data they collect around which purposed solution a programmer accepts?",
"Solving real world problems through programming is nowhere near the same problem set as getting from point A to B, I understand the metaphor but programming is a job that requires a significant amount of creative and abstract thought that current AI can only dream of. When it finally gets around to solving for those everyone is fucked, not just programmers.\n\n>How many \"correct\" to write a basic web app, to connect to a database, parse json etc in any given language/framework are there really\n\nMore than you and I can count, and therein lies the constraint that will keep AI not much more than another tool in a programmer's arsenal for the foreseeable future",
"I think you again under estimate how far (which honestly is not that many) iterations on how to correctly connect to a POSTSQL via Python for example, and chunk some data into some table(s). That is a not a hard concept, and for 95% of projects or work it will be done in series of similar patterns, and of those patterns some of them will be work the \"best\" (ie: based off raw performance, scalability, or combo of some set criteria) and that almost always should be what you use to perform that function. Ok next, let's parse a list.. same thing, calculate pi.. same thing.. do a look up.. same thing.... on and on. \n\n\nYou are making a big jump that all the \"best\" solutions or a sizable portion of them aren't knowable and that they are some witty jazz coding cooked up by some programmer on the spot, but I'm arguing there is a limit to how much that matters for the major of code written and produced. Most of it is boiler plate, and most of it is almost fully automatable in the next 5 - 10 years, certainly by the next 20. The machine also doesn't have the same limits on what you know, and as the training data increases, it will learn and in short order it will be very hard to come up with something the system hasn't seen before. \n\n\nHonestly, I know this is a hard pill to swallow but everyone keeps making these claims about how our special \"human flair\" will end up winning against the machines because we think out of the box not realizing that those sparks of genius are noted in the data and often times accounted for as the longer the system is trained, and as new data comes in.",
"I consider myself a somewhat good programmer but there are certainly algorithms I could not implement. Advanced math stuff gets hard, man",
"\\> Most of it is boiler plate, and most of it is almost fully automatable in the next 5 - 10 years, certainly by the next 20. \n\n\nI'm not saying that coding requires some witty jazz solutions, my point is that if if 80% of the code that goes into an app is boilerplate then the remaining 20% that isn't will require creative, case by case expertise. There are many, many ways to architecture and scale a serious web app. I agree everything, including software engineering is automatable given a large enough dataset and computing unit, it's just going to take a while - the timeframes you've given seem reasonable enough - and I think programming jobs are the last in line to be axed.",
"This is impressive by all means, but programming is also about maintaining code, fixing bugs, adding features, optimizing some aspect of code, sometimes rewriting chuck of program, specifically when you are in prototype phase, furthermore, in my perspective there is need to have understanding of a scope and what problems program tries to solve.",
"You've got to understand from the outside perspective. For years, people have felt shit on by programmers. Thousands of lost jobs. Wage slavery. And people look at programmers like gods, living their best lives, just overall winning. And whenever even a hint of jealousy, FOMO, or regret is seen, the reply? \"Learn 2 code\". \"Just go on Khan Academy\". But of course they're not going to learn to code.\n\nThey just want to hit back. They just want to see a fucking chink in the armor.",
"I was using this earlier today while messing around on some LeetCode problems.\n\nIf you let it, it basically gives you the answers outright.\n\nI mostly used it for filling out the annoying little helper functions that we've all had to write out a million times. Write the name, maybe a simple comment, and BAM an answer pops out that is 90% of the time correct.",
"this is nothing more than a glorified code snippet engine",
"To be perfectly clear : I’m not a programmer so Im using my gut feeling and very general observations in stating that I am surprised by a person who is a coder and is at the forefront of technology saying that in all certainty ‘programmer jobs are NOT at risk’.\nSure they are. Just like almost all jobs today. There are exceptions but every year there are fewer and fewer. In fact the very people whose jobs were displaced or made more automated for many years were saying just that : “This alarm has been sounded anytime a tool that made (fill in the blank) easier came along for the last 20 years” \nAgain, the main motivation here is money and in today’s economy a good coder can cost an arm and a leg. \nSurprisingly I think a brick-layer is less likely to be automated. No people at the keyboard, looking at the screen are safe. This or next time will different. It is simply a matter of time.",

"It's snippets and auto complete. He randomly put numbers into his dataset, then removed the number 9.\n\nHe then started testing some functions and first he searched for a value he knew existed in the dataset, then as he started to search for another value, the code suggested he search for 9.\n\nWas that dumb luck? Maybe. Maybe the engine was just choosing a random value or a recent value. But it looked to me like the engine was specifically suggesting unit testing values: values added and known to exist and values removed and known to not exist in the data set.\n\nBut that's pretty cool auto complete if it knows you are unit testing and suggests the correct corner cases.",
">Most of it is boiler plate\n\nTemplated projects - including things like creating CRUD services based on your models - have existed for a very long time. This is the next generation of that, and the cool thing is it allows for some granularity and discretion, but for the foreseeable future this will still just be a productivity tool. In very very simple cases, templating / boiler plating solutions already exist, and in all other cases, automation will not solve these problems until you get machines to understand business needs",
"Also, implementing trivial CRUD-Operations might not be a valid benchmark. I'd like to see how it fares in a more complex project.",
"> There are exceptions but every year there are fewer and fewer.\n\nSource? There's a widespread labor shortage in all fields.",
"This right here. Even if Copilot could be continuously used for 90% of a coding project during its lifetime there's an old saying that goes \"the last 10% takes 90% of the time\". This is where abstract, creative, and most importantly _critical_ thought comes in. And, since 90% done for a programming project typically does _not_ equate to \"done enough\" this very real gap will still be occupied by humans for the foreseeable future.",
"> To be perfectly clear : I’m not a programmer so Im using my gut feeling and very general observations in stating that I am surprised by a person who is a coder and is at the forefront of technology saying that in all certainty ‘programmer jobs are NOT at risk’.\n> Sure they are. Just like almost all jobs today. There are exceptions but every year there are fewer and fewer.\n\nThis is patently false. The hiring market for programmers is possibly the best it has ever been. The reasons for this are fairly clear too... an increasingly complex world where software solutions have increasing value in helping to solve an unlimited list of problems where there is money to be made.\n\nI say this as a senior programmer with over 20 years experience in the field, too. Copilot is neat and has a lot of potential as a tool but it itself is not a programmer. And as others have said, if AI technology in general evolves to where something like Copilot _is_ on par with a critical thinking human then orders of magnitude more jobs will have already been automated away before that.",
"You will still need a programmer to guide it. Programming problems are business problems of almost every type of business in the world right now. If you have an AI that can solve that, then everyone is fucked.\n\nI realize that you think that AI can go anywhere, but AI right now is very limited in what it can solve. Even the very well trained models can fuck up, and you will need a programmer to know if they fucked up, and much more work to know how they fucked up and fix it.\n\nAnd yes, almost every code we write has already been written. But how do you explain to the AI that you need this getPerson to only return people over the age of 18 if it's Tuesday? or stupid business requirements like that? you will need some kind of language to tell the AI what you want with your business rules, like some kind of programming language...\n\nand in 10-30 years, when the AI can read the user stories directly and get the business logic from there, who writes the stories? the client only knows vaguely what they want, they still need people to write it out, find edge cases, gray areas, etc. \n\nWe may not be writing the c# code, but we will still be doing the programming",
"Programmers are both smart enough and dumb enough to replace ourselves with AI.",
"I've been using the similar feature in the new Visual Studio preview version.\n\nIt's absolutely brilliant up until it isn't, then it's useless. Sometimes it saves you 90% of the typing you need to do, sometimes it sits there offering bonkers suggestions. It's absolutely fantastic where you would otherwise do a bunch of copy+pasting with small modifications, as it quickly recognises what you are doing.\n\nMy point is that the human + AI combination is extremely powerful, but the AI alone is a non-starter. It still needs a person to sort good suggestions from crap and guide it to the right solution. It also doesn't \"write code\" so much as spot patterns and continue them, if you don't know what you are doing it's not going to help at all.",
"Plus he described copying and pasting someone else's implementation. That's not implementing an algorithm anymore than downloading Visual Studio is writing an IDE.",
"In the Marvel movies is IronMan coding when he tells Jarvis to go change some parameters on some advanced suit build he is doing in the background? That's what you are arguing. The AI isn't going to need to be told how to do these things constantly, once it knows it it knows. Business will tell it what they want and it will be smart enough to make that happen. Yes, I'm implying that you programmers won't be special anymore and I understand that there will be highly specialized people who oversee how some of the specialized AI will be built but on a whole once its able to to direct it own coding everything else is pretty trivial in modern software design to be offloaded to normal business stake holder who will certainly be more programer-ish in thinking compared to now but not nearly as specialized themselves. \n\nI just don't think technically telling an advanced AI that you want to pull data our of a weather API is programing but maybe by the time all this takes place that will be indeed what that profession would be boiled down to. \n\n\nAlso 95% of business needs turn out to be the exact same shit from org to org, so to claim that that is where the true innovative programing happens is pretty suspect . Oh you need to pull some figures together, add in some external data from system X, and then create a dashboard/alert... GROUNDBREAKING! We as a society are already heavily moving towards a 4 day work week because automation has gotten so good and that's not even using AI. Blows me away that so many people think their business is doing something truly \"special\" that they aren't a target for this technology.",
"He added 9 to his list after 6, so it could have been just taking the next entry.",
"Figuring out what to do is like 50% of what I spend my time doing when coding. Then another 25% actually coding it and another 25% testing and verifying that it's doing what it's supposed to do. \n\nAm I worried that my job is at risk from AI? Absolutely not. I can see it making developers 25% faster at getting the tedious parts of their job done? Yessir and that future can't come soon enough.",
"I don't think you're wrong about this, but I do think you're oversimplifying. I can pull data from a weather api and put it into a chart right now without coding using Excel. 99% of business needs are currently being met with basic off the shelf stuff we don't even register anymore. Display drivers, your OS, excel and photoshop, wordpress, hubspot, salesforce CRM, ect... You don't need a developer for any of that stuff anymore so we should be running out of things for developers to do and no one should have to work right?\n\nExcept that's not how it works. We already made a model T, why would we need to keep making new cars? We already have a smartphone, why bother creating another one? \n\nMarketing automation didn't kill the marketing department. Sales automation didn't kill the sales department. IT automation similarly isn't going to kill the IT department.

Sure they are.\n\nIf software can really write software, it means it can improve itself as well. This is the [technological singularity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity) which means that we will have AI that will be vastly superior to our own intelligence. \n\nProgramming jobs will be the last to be automated be definition because once we are at that stage, EVERY job will be automated.\n\nI've been a developer for 20 years and this will eventually happen.

"\\*My opinion is unpopular therefore I'm the victim of a conspiracy\\*I think what's more likely is that the scenario you're describing is endgame AI, a fair while away into the future and still heavy speculation at that - definitely not the friendly github auto completion tool so many of us welcome in our arsenal.",
"What kind of scenario are you imagining where a PM can spit out some instructions to an AI and have it output a fully functioning product that isn’t endgame?\n“Give copilot a few more years, integrate it with web flow and you have almost no reason to hire engineers” except to smooth out rough edges, fix bugs, sort out deployment and infrastructure, scale them, instrument them, and continue solving the problems that won’t be be solvable by copilot + webflow.\n\nThe barrier for entry may drop but that means the ceiling will end up being higher. The need for solving abstract problems (which is what we really do, code will always just be a tool to do so) will stick around for a while.\n\nI for one welcome not having to style buttons and write CSS for much longer. I look forward to the days where GitHub copilot can spit out most of the code I need to implement a feature and dive in to tweak it, optimise it otherwise mold it to it’s business needs (not something PO’s are going to be doing anytime soon). The only thing this will do is accelerate product development and make the overall process much less of a pain in the ass than it currently is.",
"Yeah, I felt that CRUD was kind of cheating. I mean, Spring has all but eliminated code writing for CRUD operations years ago, it's so basic and repetitive.",
"And yours cancelled out by my 21 years of building enterprise systems for various federal agencies. And if you'd trust someone with \"basic HTML and Javascript\" to build out anything of import you deserve whatever you get.",
"That’s not 90% of my use cases, templates are going to get you started but they won’t solve your infrastructure problems as they arise.\n\nAs for Webflow, bugs arise when people try and integrate their HTML and implement functionality, plus the moment your use case deviates from what it or any eventual combination of it + copilot can offer you’re back to hiring a team of engineers again (and hey, that’s going to be the case for a *lot* of businesses). Sure there will always be solutions that attempt to simplify the building blocks of the most common, cookie cutter problems - Wix and Squarespace have been around for a while - but the need for specialised software is only going up, and none of the apps and platforms I’ve worked on have smacked of being remotely solvable by automation or abstraction anytime soon. At least until endgame AI kicks in and we can all kick back and descend into a hedonistic techno utopia.",
"I just want to see it make Half Life 3",
"That's what I noticed, and I'm willing to bet that's the case.",
"I didn't realize we were scoping the conversation to a narrow slice of the IT industry. Regardless, I hope that I never have to use any of your customers' applications, and that nothing truly important depends on them.",
"I'm open to the idea that there is a sea change coming, but the historical precedent has been that more and more higher level low/no code solutions have been brought to market, and developers (good ones) have only gotten more in demand. Maybe there's fewer \"code monkey\" type roles, but I suppose we can only wait and see.",
"Nearly all of that is available today, yet the job market for senior developers is still excellent across many industries.

Or, that there will still be a meaningful need for both creative solutions and for administering complex systems - requiring an engineer - for a long time yet.",
"The way he used it here, providing it no context and just taking every suggestion, yes absolutely.

"> If software can really write software, it means it can improve itself as well.\n\nI don't think that's necessarily true. One could, in theory, have a system that takes in a formalised specification for desired functionality and produces a program that implements that functionality. It wouldn't be capable of producing programs that solve arbitrary problems, but would be very capable of writing 90% of real-world software, much of which is very repetitive.\n\nSuch a system wouldn't have to be anywhere close to the singularity. \"Make a version of yourself that's 10% smarter\" would just be outside of the scope of things it can do. But \"make an Android app that looks like this visual mockup and implements a UI over this API according to standard best practices.\" might be feasible in 10 years. You'd want humans to check it over and validate it, but it might cut down on man-hours.",
"Yeah, my first thought was this would increase the number of amateur programmers, but then realized this is more of a tool for professionals and could potentially reduce the time spent on updates and new software.",

"I teach data structures and algorithms. One in three can't even do that.",
"This girl I was close with for a while in high school (way back, late 90's) was into programming and also into arguing with me, a lot. She was adamant that programming was a dead profession (remember, this was late 90's) and that AI would make programmer's jobs obsolete because sophisticated *enough* AI was just around the corner. She believed this so much that she dropped programming altogether and focused on database admin or something like that.\n\nI argued as best I could that AI (at the time and still today) are nowhere near where it needs to be in order to replace programmers and won't be for many decades, possibly longer. She thought I was an idiot for saying as much. 20 years later and the improvements in AI have been incremental. At this point it's just sophisticated statistical analysis and not much else. It's impressive, don't get me wrong but it's not true general AI, which is the level AI would need to be at in order to program effectively, not to mention the need to be able to take ambiguous \"human\" requirements and translate *that* into working code. That's hard enough for human programmers to do.",
">it will massively lower the barrier to entry\n\nGood. We want the people to be able to solve their problems on their own. (Good fucking luck debugging it through)",
"Not to mention full blown frameworks such as Swagger which are much more feature complete than \"copy and paste the most basic code which satisfies these interpreted requirements.\"",
"> To be perfectly clear : I’m not a programmer so Im using my gut feeling and very general observations in stating that I am surprised by a person who is a coder and is at the forefront of technology sa\n\nSo...let's be clear.\n\nWith absolutely no understanding of the topic at hand, and only your emotional and completely uninformed understanding of the topic, you're completely confident making sweeping predictions about things?",
"> Please tell me a single common use case where the combo i described wouldn't work.\n\nHow about any single piece of business logic that is dictated by human-driven requirements and contracts?\n\nI have literally never had a position where some inordinately important but completely asinine piece of logic had to be implemented because of *human* needs.\n\nAlternatively, how about anything that requires novel development?\n\nThese systems can't innovate, it's not how they work. They're statistical regurgitation engines that spit out the most likely vomit given your inputs.\n\nThe second you step off the beaten path into new territory, which you will inevitably do given any real time in any industry, a system like this is useless.\n\nIf at any point you've tried to find an answer to your questions on StackOverflow and failed, you've encountered the boundary conditions for the utility of these systems.\n\nThere will *always* be a need for humans in this equation. \n\nK8S didn't invent itself. No meaningfully important development will ever be done by machines until such a point as we have solved the problem of strong AI, and at that point, everything is out the window anyway.",
"My real comment is: this looks pretty cool.\n\nMy snarky comment would be: \"what are you doing, Dave?\"",
"You literally said:\n\n> AI like co-pilot v2 would be pretty much complete for 90% of uses.\n\nand then followed up with:\n\n> What's left? scaling? amazon + kubernetes templates + some optimization tech takes care of that.\n\n`\"90%\" + \"what's left\" == 100%` by my quick maths.\n\nWhat room is left for innovation in your (apparently) poorly-worded world of \"everything is covered\"?",

"If me expressing that your verbiage did not clearly communicate (by your own admission, since you said I didn't understand you) what you were trying to say is an ad hominem, then you're right, we're not gonna get anywhere.\n\nHave a good night.",
"> I don't think that's necessarily true.\n\nIt is because you need true AI to actually build software from scratch. It's a creative problem solving process.\n\n> But \"make an Android app that looks like this visual mockup and implements a UI over this API according to standard best practices.\" might be feasible in 10 years.\n\nAnd who is building the API? Because that's generally where the complexity lies. And even extremely simple mobile front-ends are nowhere near that simple as you're describing. \n\nAlso all throughout CS history when tools become better it didn't mean you needed fewer developers. It means that your developers would produce more functionality. You're not going to produce less because your competitor isn't producing less either.",
"Congrats, he deleted all of his comments in surrender.",
"> It is because you need true AI to actually build software from scratch. It's a creative problem solving process.\n\nRespectfully, I think that's a completely unfounded claim, and in fact we have counterexamples to it. There's a huge difference between an AI that's smart enough to build *arbitrary* software, and an AI that's smart enough to build *some* software. Solving the former problem would require an AGI, but the latter is approachable.\n\nTaking a stupidly simple case, you could argue that those template website-builders are software building software. There's no AI, and they're very limited, but somebody wrote some software which takes in a formal description of requirements and produces some output software. So software can build *some* software, it's just a very small \"some\".\n\nThese AI models are also building *some* software. They can *often* take a text comment and produce a function which implements it. That's *far* smaller in scale than building a whole application, but it *is* building *some* software.\n\nI think it's plausible that the size of \"some\" will continue growing, and that it will get to the level where it's capable of producing those medium-level repetitive applications that we've all built 100 versions of in our careers. Those app UIs and websites and API's that are just DB CRUD really don't have much creative problem-solving in them by the 100th time you do them, and very few problems would be novel to an AI that's seen 10,000,000 of them.\n\n> Also all throughout CS history when tools become better it didn't mean you needed fewer developers. It means that your developers would produce more functionality. You're not going to produce less because your competitor isn't producing less either.\n\nSure, I have no idea what this would do to the job market. I think there's a common category of not-very-good StackOverflow-based programmer who often only solves these simple problems and might find themselves under a bit of pressure, but highly-skilled software-engineers will remain in high demand. And actually that's a good thing, because we have too many shitty developers in the world producing shitty software.\n\nI don't think adding superfluous functionality to things to justify our existence would be good for the world, though.",
"Oh, yep, looks like they did.\n\nI'll never quite understand that behavior.",
"I totally did the \"wow this might replace programming jobs\", but after trying it, your analysis is spot on. You still have to read and error check the code it comes up with, and its often at least partially wrong.\n\nIt is still very impressive though, and I am leaving it on. Its really helped me \" think outside the box\" (which would have happened doing a stack exchange search too, but this is faster).",
"Which may be infinitely better than lurking *StackOverflow* all the time in search for an answer, in most cases. I am using Copilot now (I've been accepted today) and I am honestly blown away by its AI. \n\nJust tipe a comment like this one:\n\n // count saturdays before 2022-12-31\n\nand it gives you a nice solution:\n\n function countSatu() {\n $count = 0;\n $date = new DateTime('2022-12-31');\n while ($date->format('N') != 6) {\n $date->modify('+1 day');\n $count++;\n }\n return $count;\n }\n\n\nThis is a basic PHP example I randomly tested while replying here on Reddit, it's that easy.",
"Honestly what he's showing here isn't that impressive because all of this stuff has been done to death. There's a plethora of example project and tutorials that show exactly what you need to do implement these examples. Essentially what Copilot is doing here is guessing which code to copy paste, to be fair the guesses are good though. \n\nThe CRUD service is a poor example because in many cases you could just switch it out with a GraphQL service and then as a back-end developer you get to focus on the important stuff. And also CRUD services usually aren't all that complex. \n\nWhat would be interesting to know is how Copilot performance when you're implementing complex business logic in a service.",
"Wrong.\n\nIt actually understands the code it writes.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDNt07UePvk"

Programmer tries programming with GitHub Co-Pilot (an AI that auto generates code). He is surprised many times when the AI guesses the code he wants to write... Sometimes before he can say what he wants to write it.

"It took dating a European for me to see what a militaristic nation Australia is. \n\nIt’s a pity in a way that it’s such a big focus over other things, like medicine, science, Australian arts and culture, etc. Not even sport gets as many monuments.",
"Haha Roger that. Please elaborate.",
"Remembrance day is a WWI tradition, genius. \n\n11/11 mean anything to you?",
"Well, coming from Central Europe, she couldn’t believe there were cannons, bronze soldier statues, etc everywhere in cities. Every suburb seems to have one or more. \n\nThen there’s ceremonies, poppy badges, military flyovers etc at different times of the year. They doesn’t happen in her country at all. \n\nAt first I tried to explain why something was there (grief, pride, sacrifice, patriotism etc.). But after a question about the 60th thing I started to agree a bit… it’s definitely unusual.",
"So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed\n\nAnd they shipped us back home to Australia\n\nThe legless, the armless, the blind, the insane\n\nThose proud wounded heroes of Suvla\n\nAnd as our ship pulled into Circular Quay\n\nI looked at the place where me legs used to be\n\nAnd thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me\n\nTo grieve, to mourn, and to pity\n\nAnd the band played Waltzing Matilda\n\nAs they carried us down the gangway\n\nBut nobody cheered, they just stood and stared\n\nThen they turned all their faces away\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZqN1glz4JY",
"Nazi Germany famously fell in November of 1945. Of course the mainstream media covered this up and pretended it ended in April so as to not take attention away from Guy Fawkes celebrations",
"The UK has all of that, including fly overs of Spitfires and bombers. It's not really militaristic as it is remembering awful events in history and the sacrifices. They're just bits of history.\n\nAustralia would have a pretty good reason for being militaristic considering where it is in the world, but that's not the vibe I ever got.",
"The UK, US and Russia is next level of course, but Australia is up there.\n\n> Australia would have a pretty good reason for being militaristic considering where it is in the world.\n\nI’m not sure what that means? The only country that has invaded was Britain in the 1700s, I’m not sure France ever seriously considered it. There’s probably not many countries that are less likely to ever be invaded.",
"Lol. \n\nWorld War I itself was famously fought because the allies had a time machine, and could see they needed a warm up war to prepare for 1939. \n\nSo, in a way, Anzac Day was self defense, too.",
"Beat me to it, but I prefer Liam Clancy's version: https://youtu.be/PFCekeoSTwg",
"You don't seem to understand the politics of the region then. China is a very real and constant threat for Australia and it's sovereignty. \n\nI find it extremely interesting to know that your gf didn't get it considering the history of world war was centred in Europe and you'd be hard pressed to find a single county in Europe without monuments to their own wars.\n\nTldr talking out her ass bro",
"I’m living in Europe, what she says is 100% true. The horrors of war and nationalism make overt displays much more problematic. \n\nChina is not going to invade Australia, just as Japan had no actual plan to invade Australia. \n\nIn fact, considering its ~3,500 year history, I recently learnt that China is considered by historians as one of the least expansionist empires that have existed. It’s focus has nearly entirely been internal. Australia is very much not part of the few complex cases at its margins.",
"The next verse is even better imo:\n\nAnd now every April I sit on my porch\n\nAnd I watch the parade pass before me\n\nI see my old comrades, how proudly they march\n\nReliving their dreams of past glory\n\nI see the old men, all twisted and torn\n\nThe forgotten heroes of a forgotten war\n\nAnd the young people ask me, \"what are they Marching for?\"\n\nAnd I ask myself the same question",
"Watch out for those Mongolians, China.....",
"Doesn't France also do a fair bit of show, especially around Bastille day?",
"Great version, but not the best. \n\nThat goes to Ronnie Drew.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f433tMwsiAs",
"Yes, definitely. \n\nThere’s something that feels subtly different, though. \n\nYou see the marks of old WWI trenches, or plaques to deported citizens or murdered resistance members unexpectedly in Parisian streets. \n\nIt’s a touch more somber, slightly less victorious, affair.",
"I'll have to disagree with you there, Liam's version tops it for me. I'd love to have heard Luke Kelly give it a go.",
"They’re still some of the toughest folk in person I’ve ever met!",
"Lukes voice raises the hair on the back of your neck. One of the best voices ever.",
"> he horrors of war and nationalism make overt displays much more problematic. \n\nEurope has regular military parades and European live on America social media telling everyone they're the best people in the world. You are so far gone with nationalism you don't realise you're at the top.",
"America did shit in WWII. Showed up late. Aussies are the real deal.\n\nAmerikkka is the basis for Nazi Germany and the USA supported them during the war.\n\nThe UK and Europe DOMINATE the world because they are the best!\nSweden is the best! ESTONIA FUCKIGN RULES!!!! GO GERMANY TELL US HOW GREAT YOU ARE EVERY DAY NON-STOP! YOU CERTINALY AREN'T NAAZIS ANYMROE WHO THINK YOU'RE ABOVE ALL. NO WAY \n\nUp vote me I hate Amerikkkkkkkkkkkkka and love EUROPE!\n\nBERNIE SANDERS!",
"That’s what I’m saying. Especially since the 1990s John Howard years, we’re unfortunately near the top. \n\nAfter America, Russia and the UK, of course.\n\nEurope is lower than us, as there’s an added “never again” spirit mixed in to nationalism. And a pan-European identity that is equal to a national one (skiing in Switzerland, work in London, home in Paris, beach holidays in Spain, etc.)",
"No, Europe is then North Korea, China, Russia and then anglo nations. You know shit about nothing.\n\nhere you are claim Europeans are the greatest people on Earth while also calling OTHER PEOPLE nationalists. HAVE SOME FUCKING SELF AWARENESS NILS.",
"North Korea is a tiny, insignificant country. \n\nGet out of your US fear-based reality, and travel some more to see what I’m saying is accurate.",
"> North Korea is a tiny, insignificant country. \n\nLike most European nations, also VERY NATIONALISTIC.\n\n>Get out of your US fear-based reality,\n\nThis is a meaningless comment only a far gone nationalist would make.

"I presume a river used to flow under it",
"3 rivers flowing into a sinkhole together. Or a spring with 3 rivers flowing out of it.",
"A confluence of the River Welland and a tributary that have since been diverted.",
"[Wiki:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Bridge,_Crowland) The current bridge dates to the 14th century (built between 1360 and 1390) and replaced previous wooden bridges. The earliest known mention of the bridge is by King Æthelbald of Mercia in 716. In 943 it was mentioned in a charter of Eadred.\\[2\\] The bridge is now a scheduled monument and Grade I listed. \nThe bridge is predominantly built from Barnack stone, which was quarried about 10 miles to the west of Crowland, and presumably transported by boat on the Welland. \nThis bridge has three stairways that converge at the top. Originally it spanned the River Welland and a tributary that flowed through the town, although the rivers were re-routed in the mid-seventeenth century\\[3\\] and no longer flow anywhere near the bridge. The bridge was an unusual and economical solution to the crossing of two watercourses at their confluence, reducing the need for three separate bridges to a single structure with three abutments.",

"No you didn't, you just deflected. Just like you're doing now.\n\nWhy not just admit you're wrong? Are you just digging your heels in to protect your ego, or something? Nobody thinks Leslie Nielson is a bad actor or comedian, this is just a shitty clip to display any of his talents because it's just a prop gag, the entire gag is on the car.",
"OMG, I laughed 'til I cried. \n\nTo think that this man was for years a super-serious actor who worked in super-serious movies makes it all the funnier. \n\nNever too old to take another path.",
"Immortalized in our memories. Deserves it.",
"Probably hurts that with those sorts of jokes the actual pool of jokes is somewhat limited. Theres only so many ways words and phrases can be misinterpreted and language doesn't evolve fast enough for there to be a constant supply of new ones.\n\nI'm obviously not say that that pool has run dry or anything, but onces the most everyday of them are told theres going to be a lot that feel rehashed.",
"I wasn’t upset, just calling out your title. No need to be so defensive.",
"I was an extra in a Christmas movie with Leslie when I was 16. It was called Santa Who? He was so nice I remember him being so down to earth and was nice to everyone.",
"Throwing a bunch of loose change was a nice touch.",

">I don't think you'd be able to get away with any of that now.\n\nAh yes, now as in, Joe Rogan is the number one listened person in America. now.",
"Wrongfully Accused and Spy Hard. Loved both",
"I've never listened to Rogan. I've paid him even less attention since he decided that a rattle-brained ex-MMA fighter is a better doctor than those at the CDC. He's really that much of a dumbass, eh?\n\nThat being said, mainstream comedy movies have their people on a tighter leash than home-produced podcasts for people with learning disabilities."

It only really becomes an issue when you *need* to make the *best* choice because then you end up agonizing over the fear of making the wrong choice and still don't know if in the end you made the right choice. \n \nSetting perfection as your minimum ensures you will (probably) always fail."

We can also talk about how great his contributions to shipping and logistics are or his contributions to cloud computing that the vast majority of tech companies use or use a clone of.\n\nIf the fulfilment centers are so bad maybe they should quit. If you do a job that anyone can do and expect to make a great wage you should be prepared to do more hours.",

"50% chance this goes proper viral.\n\nTell your friend he's talented, for real. Wow.",
"Probably would, but a majority of it was using pre-existing assets and animations in a store, so it is very generic.\n\nThe idea on the other hand...\n\nEdit: Haters gonna hate the truth. But all animators use existing assets for client work since it reduces the labor time and budget. I am not saying anything other than that this is something with about 2 weeks of Unity/UE and Cinema 4D experience could crank out. Does it not make them a professional animator? No. Does this show off any professional animation skills? No. And I never mentioned anything about the Creative side of it. Creativity is a complete different thing, so yes, this can still be considered successful.",

"It's written by Bo Burnham but performed by Robert Burnham",

"Today is a good day :)",
"I honestly had no idea such a bad take existed. This belongs in a museum. Fine, I'll bite.\n\nAmazon has destroyed small businesses all over the world, not by being better at providing goods or services, but by operating at massive losses for so long that they drove other better business out of business. If you hate competition and fair playing fields, then yeah Jeff is killing it. There's plenty of other players and entities that deserve blame as well (I take aim particularly at the municipalities that continue to subsidize Amazon's operations in their cities), but unfortunately now we're in a situation where Amazon has a virtual monopoly on the sale of soooo many products and services, so that both consumers and employees of the company are screwed if they want to buy or work anywhere else. Many of the businesses that people who are unhappy at fulfillment centers would have gone to work at have been driven out of business by Amazon, so to suggest they should just go work elsewhere shows a fundamental lack of consideration in your opinion. All across this country, the little shops and business down main street are boarded up, while thousands of workers commute over to a barren area on the edge of town where a massive Amazon fulfillment center now sits.\n\nWith all the vertical integration accomplished and all competition removed from the marketplace, of course Jeff now horribly exploits the employees and engages in predatory sales tactics that even the most hardcore libertarians see the need to regulate. His \"contributions to business development and planning\" are illegal in most countries, and should be here as well. His \"contributions\" to shipping and logistics are only made possible by the monopoly that the company has. The company doesn't pay its fair share of taxes at any level, most notably dodging $2.3B in federal taxes last year and paying zero state and city taxes in most of the places they operate, yet *relies on government funded infrastructure for all of its business*. The company is bleeding our government and society dry in the name of Jeff amassing his billions. Amazon is a perfect example of unchecked capitalism resulting in a horrible negative impact to society.",

"Wow, interesting. I can't really think of a single song that is really even primarily funny. It's all just commentary. Which is great, but it isn't meant to be jokes. Like...I listened to the whole album, and \"If you smell burnt toast you be having a stroke, or you've overcooked your toast\" was the only thing that seemed joke-like to me.",
"Eh, I guess we just interpret the song differently. It's commentary, and there are definitely some jabs in there, but it clearly isn't meaning to mock this trend in general. Lines like \"is this heaven or just white woman's instagram\" don't really seem that hurtful.",

"Looks like the kind of thing the annoying kid in class would play ad nauseam \n thinking he's quirky and cool.",
"Just you saying \"take\" shows you care more about the optics of your \"take\" than if its factual or makes sense.\n\nThe first thing you said that doesn't make sense is that amazon is \"not better at providing goods or services\" then saying they are \"operating at massive losses\". Companies operate at losses when they reinvest or expand instead of focusing on creating profits for shareholders, [Amazon specifically has focused on relentless reinvestment and improvement since the 1990's](http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/97/97664/reports/Shareholderletter97.pdf), so how could it just be stagnating and not providing better goods (not sure what you mean by this aside from Amazon Basics or tech) or services (logistics, online services, advertising)? I'm curious what small businesses Amazon has destroyed too, almost all small businesses that operate where Amazon does can sell their own products on Amazon and take advantage of their delivery systems, feels like a win to me. You say they have a monopoly on the sale of products, but they don't sell anything other than tech that small businesses can't make and they don't discriminate over who can sell on their marketplace more than a brick and mortar store would.\n\nI'm happy you bought up fulfilment centers. There is no evidence that mistreatment at fulfilment centers, or any Amazon factory, is an endemic problem. Problems of mistreatment are incredibly localized to specific locations or bosses. If you just think that the hours of any fulfilment worker are too long, you need to get out more. Factory workers do longer hours to make money, thats the reality of having a job anyone can do with no training required, its the same at *every* packing factory and Amazon provides more benefits than smaller packing plants ever could including paid travel. [Amazon are even opening new healthcare clinics near its operations](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/workplace/amazon-care-to-launch-across-u-s-this-summer-offering-millions-of-individuals-and-families-immediate-access-to-high-quality-medical-care-and-advice-24-hours-a-day-365-days-a-year), thats actually amazing and innovative.\n\nYour next paragraph ejects bullshit at high RPM so i'll go point by point now.\n\n>His \"contributions to business development and planning\" are illegal in most countries\n\nNow this I really am confused at. DevOps is now used by almost every large company to make fast changes in basically any sector. Pretty much singlehandedly pioneered by Bezos and Amazon, now everyone uses it, and its great because we get changes to tech and products ridiculously quickly and efficiently now. What countries is it illegal in?\n\n>His \"contributions\" to shipping and logistics are only made possible by the monopoly that the company has\n\nI think this is trying to be a cynical spin of economies of scale? You must mean that being able to get a package from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world is a monopoly on shipping, but not really, other companies can use FedEX and UPS etc too just not as efficiently. Would your alternative be us having 2 companies that can each only deliver halfway across the world or something? The real reason Amazon is the only company with its level of reach is because it was there first, noone else took the risk of expanding so heavily across the world before Amazon did. I'm sure in a decade or so other companies will be able to offer similar logistics.\n\n>The company doesn't pay its fair share of taxes at any level\n\nAmazon have not dodged taxes, if by dodge you mean tax evasion. If by dodging you mean tax avoidance then sure, but small businesses can do that too, its the use of legal means to reduce tax payments which is spoiler alert legal. I feel like people like you miss the point of tax, its to pay for social projects not to punish companies for being too successful. We just had 4 years of a president that agreed with you that Amazon should pay more taxes but everyone who knows anything about economics disagreed because Amazon is such a huge boon to American society already we want to make sure to keep it. If you don't think Amazon doesn't pay its fair share of taxes you have a problem with government policy not Amazon.\n\nAmazon is a perfect example of a company taking huge risks in new technology and business frameworks to vastly improve the quality of life of everyone in the world, especially America. I like that because I live in America. Lets be nicer to Amazon :)",

"I personally found most of the songs funny. The joke is often a subversion of a typical genre of music (usually contemporary styles from the past couple years) which are juxtaposed with the mundane/negative experiences of lockdown. It’s that subversion that is the joke. For instance, “I feel like shit” is a parody of all of those kinda feel good party songs. The Jeff Bezos ones being a play on Kraftwerk and the matter-of-fact efficiency of how unethical Bezos is. Face Timing with my Mom is basically playing on a a sexy/sensual pop song style, obviously in sharp contrast to the actual subject matter. Sexting just feels like straight up joke after joke. \n\nThere’s some more introspective, downbeat songs but overall I’d definitely still call it a comedy.

Usually the Big Media/Hollywood elite/rich Jews rhetoric has a certain... discursive style, let's say, but so many of those comments read like the academically minded commenters I used to engage with back when blogs were big, so it feels like they're speaking \"my language\" but their meanings are reversed to the meanings I'm accustomed to. I have an anthropology degree so I find it fascinating! You know, at the academic level.\n\nAt the human level I'm just confused, and bemused that the conservative commenters think the essayist is a traitor for... not blindly foaming at the mouth about the evils of Big Left.",
"Yeah, let's forget about the shit ton of risk, work and effort You have to do to give these people's labour a meaning. Work in itself has no value if its meaningless. \n\nI admire people like Bezos, because most people would just sell everything and lie down until the rest of their lives after reaching the first 20 million or so. At least I would do that.",

"Sure, but if he had to build every model himself \nThen either animate by hand or build a home mocap setup \nThen build each environment from scratch \nCreate all the textures himself \nForego simulations and animate the movement of boxes by hand \n\n\nIt would take him forever and he probably wouldn't make this fun little 1 minute video \n\n\nJust because he has access to tools doesn't detract from the final product \n\n\nYou can give an idiot all the best tolls in the world but nothing would come from it \n\n\nKnowing how to put everything together artistically is 90% of it",

"It's miles better than tiktok",

"You know I'm something of an internet myself.",
"Truly amazing.",

"Yea so all the models and animations are premade by someone else. \n\nThis person took them all, placed them into scenes, and added some music.\n\nA lot of people are getting really angry at my comments, but I am not discounting the creativity with the video, just that it isn't something I would expect a \"Professional Animator\" to create since anyone with the creative idea could make it.",
"Agreed.",
"Oh I am not dissing the creativity of it, it was fine. But there is no need to mention that the person is a professional animator when it is something that most anyone can create themselves with existing assets.\n\nAs far as creativity goes, that is what is unique to this.",
"Again, never once have I seen it and I still can't see it, but that may be because I'm on the Reddit is Fun app. Either way, not exactly something I should be downvoted for but you do you, reddit.",
"Ok, Thanks, phew, close call\n\nThanks for outing this nameless impostor!\n\nWe almost enjoyed something for a second there",
"I have a rad project that pays well and I need a good after effects animator. Can you rec someone?!",
"Sure - check out Southern Shotty and Martin Klekner.",
"That is fine- but this is something anyone could create given the assets and creative direction.\n\nThe creative portion is wholly on him, which I can give credit for. But if you said, \"Professional Animator\" I would have expected some custom animations.",
"I didn't dismount the creativity in it, I only discounted the professional animations. They were pre-made.",
"I am a realist.\n\nThe creativity is there, but this work shows that they are as much of a music artist as they are an animator.",
"Creatively wise it was fine.\n\nAnimation-wise, it is not near a professional level, which the OP mentioned. It would be like me saying I am a professional chef, then going to Ruth's Chris and ordering a great meal.",
"If you said, \"My friend is a professional photographer and made this meme in his freetime.\" Then is the same meme photo used in other ones that they didn't take.\n\nWhy does them being a professional photographer have to do with making a meme?",
"I am not discrediting the effort or creativity. \n\nI am simply implying that you do not need to be a professional animator to make something like this. It is like me, going to 6 different restaurants and getting carry out to make the perfect meal. If I am a professional chef, why would I need to mention that I am a chef when I didn't cook anything?",
"Yea - we have a whole department that does this stuff. Send me a PM and we can chat.",
"This is symbolized by the frame of the shot widening as Bo sings about the dead mom, symbolizing the women opening up about her actual life and emotions, as opposed to incredibly narrow snippets of art.",

"Tik tok is a privacy nightmare. It has been labeled Spyware by security experts. \n \nBut go ahead, fuckstick, give it all away for some internet points.",
"Yeah we can even say pre-social media interent, because it such clear cut. Myspace maybe not even count though.",
"And Google is completely altruistic?\n\nLook I don’t even use TikTok. But people acting like Reddit is any different are just turning content platforms into another dumbass PlayStation vs Xbox tribalism debate.",
"I don't think you deserve downvotes, wasn't me. I have upvoted to restore the balance.",
"You're talking about social media sites, last time I checked, Google doesn't do social media anymore, and I'm not forced to use their ecosystem in any way. Reddit on the other hand doesn't even have my fucking email. I'm just a username on here.\n \nSo, I repeat, fuckstick, go nuts, keep simping for Xi's Spyware. But don't sit here and pretend you aren't a piece of shit for doing it.",

It's funny how that's what started my whole career. Creating MLGs when I was a teen gave me the passion and basic knowledge to learn by myself 3D and CGI, and nowadays I art direct and create cinematic trailers for AAA Games. All that to say OG youtube was freaking great! Sorry for writing this totally random comment, I'm quite nostalgic of that time.",
"This is super cool, thank you for sharing friend.",
"He is impressively employed. And as an animator currently in the games industry, I can relate to that",
"Is it okay if I masturbate to it?",
"There were literally hundreds, but if you can limit your searches by time period and article title then you can try to find the actual ratio for yourself if you're so inclined. \n\n\nJust remember that an effective hit piece has the goal of appearing to be objective, so if you narrow your definition of a \"hit piece\" too much, every good writer will easily dodge your criteria.",
"Any plans for the part 2 song?",
"By your vague definition there are literally hundreds of hit pieces against Biden, too.",
"Honestly any time people start talking about what songs from that special are brilliant I want to contribute another one but the truth is it’s just all of them",
"what's my definition? I'm literally just telling you to look for yourself, I'm not here to have an argument.",
"It can be the new internet if people just stop fucking around and just start fucking around again.",
"If you want to claim there are thousands of hit pieces, it's probably a good idea for you to be able to both provide a definition of what a hit piece is as well as provide a few examples of those thousands of hit pieces.\n\nIt's not my job to try and guess what your definition is and then go find these things that you claim exist.\n\nYou made the claim, so it's your job to support it.",

"That can't really work. Let's say society collapses after 1000 years, and a village is randomly founded at the place, on top of it. If there's \"just a little radiation\" coming, they won't notice a slight increase in prenatal death and mutations, or slightly increased rates of cancer in decades, much less will they suspect that it's because of there's some shit 400 meters underground causing it. If you let it leak enough to cause radiation poisoning that gives everyone rather acute symptoms, you're already going to far and will cause deaths by radiation, and avoiding that is the whole point.",

"I could learn about a person and grow to like and empathize with a person if I met them in person or if I watched a documentary about them. Odds are, the in-person visit would be more impactful.\n\nSame with a zoo vs. watching Planet Earth. It’s an apt analogy, friend. Not a dodge.",
"You want them to be in captivity (where they suffer) so you can empathise with them and therefore want to help them? Your logic is very flawed, and your sad use of \"friend\" doesn't mask how upset you are with it being called out, along with your petty downvotes.\n\nDo you think starving orphans should be put in glass cages so we can empathise with them and donate money to children's shelters?",
"I didn’t down vote, friend. Someone else must have thought your point was unnecessarily hostile, as well. Or you are just wrong. Or that you added more to it without noting the edit and put words in my mouth rather than just asking. And I’m most certainly not upset with “being called out.” People have differences of opinion and talk about them respectfully all the time. \n\nAs for my point, you and I have have formed impressions of one another from this brief, remote interaction. If we met in person, we’d likely have a much clearer sense of who the other is.\n\nEdit: I added the bit about your edit after I noticed you’d gone back and done it.\n\nEdit 2: holy crap, he edited again and apparently I now advocate for putting orphans in cages.

"Insanity and entitlement breeding from believing everyone has to think as you do? Noice.",

"Here's some background on this. https://vancouversun.com/business/local-business/fairy-creek-appeal-court-reinstates-injunction-against-old-growth-logging-protesters and https://www.victoriabuzz.com/2021/10/rcmp-reinforce-temporary-injunction-at-fairy-creek/\n\n\nFrom what I gather, Canada told the logging company 'yup, its legal for you to operate here', and local people with indigenous backgrounds started blockading roads necessary for the logging operation. A judge passed an injunction against the protestors/blockaders. For people not familiar, an injunction is basically a judge's way of saying 'this specific action you are doing?, cut it out or we will arrest you'. So the injunction passed and RCMP started arresting people blockading the roads. This went on for a bit, until the injunction expired, and a judge decided to not reinstate it (citing that the RCMP had been acting poorly in enforcing it). This emboldened blockader/protestors, the logging company was stopped, and then some time early last month, an appeal court reinstated the injunction. \n\nSo essentially you have some locals who are like 'no cut down our trees', and a logging company that's like 'we wanna cut down our trees', so they go and ask the Law of the Land, 'can we cut down our trees?' and the LofT says 'yea you can cut down our trees'. Then the locals are saying 'nu uh, we'll fight you'. \n\nThe real fight though, of course, is changing the law of the land. And in any democracy, that means getting people to agree with you. So that's really what this video is about and why the piggybacking on the cop26 and environment stuff. Sadly the RCMP are the 'bad guys' here, when IMO they are just in a hard spot, doing the job they are commanded to by the current law.\n\nOddly, I can't find anything about fracking on this.",
"Pretty sure this one is about the Coastal Gas Link pipeline in northern BC.\n\nIn that case the Elected Counsel is on board, the majority hereditary chiefs are not, but they were all consulted.\n\nNeither really have anything to do with fracking.\n\n>Then the locals are saying 'nu uh, we'll fight you'.\n\nI wouldnt say thats what the \"locals\" are saying. One thing you missed is that the Logging company is like half owned by FN people and there is a revenue sharing agreement with the local band, who have actually requested that protestors leave:\n\n>The Pacheedaht First Nation’s elected leadership — and Frank Queesto Jones, the Hereditary Chief recognized by the Nation — have asked, several times, for the protesters to leave, saying the nation does not welcome or support unsolicited involvement or interference by others. ...\n\n> “For years we’ve been subject to colonial policy,” Huu-ay-aht Chief Robert Dennis tells The Narwhal. “Some outside force — mainly the federal government — comes onto our land and says ‘we’re going to take care of you and we’re going to do things better than you’ve been doing.’ ”\n\n> “Now I’m seeing some outside force saying, ‘oh you know what, we want to halt old-growth logging. And when we do that we want to halt the First Nations’ rights to harvest cedar for cultural purposes … we want to infringe on their Treaty Rights … I’m seeing systemic racism continuing. ‘You Indians don’t have the ability to carry yourselves, so we’re going to fight for you and we’re going to protect the old- growth whether you like it or not.’ That’s what they’re doing, that’s what they’re saying.”\n\n- https://thenarwhal.ca/pacheedaht-fairy-creek-bc-logging/",
"RCMP are a joke. Remember when they let that mass shooter run amok in NS? Or when they shot at that firehall full of people and drove off instead of assisting any potentially wounded? \n\nOh yeah that was the same day lol.\n\nEdit: Yeah, all those people that died that day are real thankful for the coverup and mindless lip service to the RCMP.",

"So is this actually native-owned land or not? I'm confused. In the US the natives have reservations. That's the land they (currently) own. There's no way in fuck a private company, a logging company or a gas company would just walk onto a reservation and not be met with force.

"Its more like between a democratically elected assembly, and self appointed bureaucrats whose position, responsibilities and powers are questionable.",
"> So is this actually native-owned land or not?\n\nIt is not reserve land, however recent court cases, like Delgamuukw v. British Columbia, give First Nations certain rights (Aboriginal Title) over their traditional lands. These include the right to us it for traditional activities, and be duly consulted for when projects occur on this land. However it does not grant them a veto over such projects.",
"And why do you think these people should be armed and allowed to threaten the federal government? You have no idea what’s happening here",

"No. I’m saying either give them the land or don’t. This provision that gives them rights to the land, but not ownership is too confusing.",

Grow up, and educate yourself so you don’t live a life of ignorance and stupidity when it comes to these matters.\n\nI love how out of touch with this situation you really are. My point was that another native group with elected legitimacy is disputing what this group is doing in the video.

While this is now happening.",
">The real fight though, of course, is changing the law of the land. And in any democracy, that means getting people to agree with you.\n\nOr a minority creating extreme opposition that cannot be ignored. Stonewall was an example of this.",

"All land is stolen if you go back far enough.",
"> if this is anything like the States, then Canada is probably violating established Treaties\n\nDefenders of the logging company and the RCMP often cite following the order of law as their main justification, but what if the original law(s) are racist, inhumane, and archaic? Another piece of context that many international audiences are missing is that Canada has been going through an initiative of reconciliation with indigenous peoples. I am a public servant and in the Canadian public service we go on and on about the importance of reconciliation and things like land acknowledgements. It just feels too hypocritical.",
"The fucking hypocrisy. We now have a whole spiel in front of our speeches about who's land we stole so now all of our colonial past is reconciled and ok now.",
"I guess they *did* kill them now and then, back when they (\"they\" being local Japanese daimyos) still had skirmishes and conflicts before the Meiji government built Japan into a modern nation-state.",

"What point are you trying to make here? I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to get at.",

The land has been fracked upstream in the Montney formation. Now they need to complete the pipeline to get the gas to the coast where it will be sold to East Asian countries.

"> And why would that be, because they're lazy alcoholic Indians? \n\nNo. I did not say they are \"lazy alcoholics\", do not put words in my mouth. It is because they're really miniscule populations on an international level and live in very small bits of land. They don't have the manpower to be a fully sovereign country with a functioning economy (think of how complex modern economies are, now imagine trying to do everything they do with only a handful thousands people), they'd also be entirely at the mercy of the Canadian state which encircles them in every direction. At best they'd exist the same way other microstates do: either as tax havens for foreign corporations or poor as dirt.\n\nAs Canadian citizens within Canada, they can actually influence the country from within and work towards protecting their interests via the Canadian state. Think of it like how Brexit has turned out to be a disaster for the UK; when they were inside the EU, they could actually have a say in how it was run and steer it in a particular direction, but now that they are outside of the EU they are treated as a third party and get absolutely shafted when it comes time to discuss things like fishing rights or trade negotiations. Fully independent Aboriginal nations would become third parties and get reduced to glorified vassalage by Canada, much like how small Caribbean or Pacific island nations are pretty much entirely dependent on the USA or Australia for anything.",

I'm invalidating YOUR point of view because you stubbornly refuse to see how biased it is, not the point of view of some indigenous people I've never interacted with. And you don't even directly speak for them, you are arguing a topic that you likely didn't discuss with them, with the belief that your interactions with them is enough for you to understand the entirety of their beliefs and ideas.\n\nIf you were yourself a FN I would keep an open mind, but you've implied multiple times that you aren't. You participating in some symbolic ceremonies and having some small talk with a few unrepresentative FN just puts us at equal footing in relations to indigenous peoples.\n\nYou defending someone saying that these people do not have the credibility or capacity to be considered nations shows your lack of judgement and lack of respect for their right to self-determination.",
"No, if I were a FN disagreeing with you, you would frame me as a clueless victim of society that doesn’t *really* know what I want, as evident from what you’ve said here.",
"We're resorting to *what ifs* when we realize we're clueless about a subject?",
"I’m putting less effort in to arguing with someone like you. \n\nWhere have I spoken on behalf of what First Nation people should do or want? I have not in this entire thread. I just called you out for it when you clearly did it right here. I can’t believe I have to go over this again you goldfish. You said:\n\n“They do not need that, and they do not want that. The western way of life got imposed on them through violent assimilation.“\n\nThat’s what you said in response to:\n\n“They don't have the manpower to be a fully sovereign country with a functioning economy (think of how complex modern economies are, now imagine trying to do everything they do with only a handful thousands people)”\n\nYou constantly misconstrue, make assumptions, and put words in people’s mouths. You said:“You defending someone saying that these people do not have the credibility or capacity to be considered nations…” \n\nFirst of all, I never once defended what he said, I only called you out for your actions above. Second, as quoted above, he did not say they don’t have the credibility required to be considered a nation. He mentioned a lack of manpower, AKA the logistics needed to maintain a modern economy. You add in the extra part about not respecting their right to self-determination. That’s a massive leap from not having logistics in order, to saying essentially I don’t believe they are worthy, about a topic *that I didn’t even defend*.\n\nThis is just cherry on top. You call me biased and then immediately follow up with “ If you were yourself a FN I would keep an open mind, but you've implied multiple times that you aren't.” So in summary, you assume, misconstrue, put words in others peoples mouths, and admit to closing your mind to an argument based on the race or identity of the person making the argument. You’re truly a waste of time to argue with, but at least I’ll end with the pleasure of burying you with your mistakes",
"My phrasing on a reddit comment was a bit off-putting, so that means you can play the self-righteous card? Your need to \"call me out\" when you simply misunderstood my point was really telling, and shows how dismissive you are of indigenous struggles. And by that I mean the indigenous people shown in the video, NOT the indigenous people who have reluctantly joined our society as fully-functioning model Canadian Citizens living in our good, obedient, white cities. If you do not see how these two groups of FN are very distinct, you are blind. (Before you again try to \"call me out\" on this questionable phrasing, most of this description is highly sarcastic. I'm pointing this out because I don't think you have the mental capability to understand sarcasm.)\n\nFN were here thousands of years before colonizers arrived, and had the capacity to self-sustain. So do countless other indigenous populations around the world. But now first nations can't be their own nations, because they are required to be enslaved to the modern globalized economy? That doesn't make any sense. Unless, maybe, their way of life was transformed through centuries of abuse, violence, and assimilation, which you refuse to accept as a reality of modern day First Nations. Of course they do not want to spend winters in the cold without modern equipment and resources, because we destroyed their collective knowledge and exploited their resources so that this option is no longer possible for them.\n\n18th century FN wanted the white man out of their territory, even though they were then richer than they ever were, because they knew that their way of life was in danger. Colonisers had no regard to sustainability. The indigenous philosophy was all about cycles, nature, respect, and it still is, although, again because of assimilation, very few individuals strongly hold these traditional beliefs.\n\nWhen I said that *they* do not want or need to participate in the modern hyperconsumerist society, I was obviously referring to people we see in this post and other \"insurgents\" who are actively voicing their discontent with federal intrusions and neo-colonialist policies, but your lack of basic political understanding got me off-track. \"Trudeau speaks for all Canadians\" what a fucking joke.\n\nWhen I called you out on your bullshit opinions, you accused me of invalidating FN's opinions. So if that doesn't insinuate that you speak on their behalf, I don't know what does. Your opinions are not \"FN opinions by proxy\", get your head out of your ass.\n\nYou say that you participated in some ceremonies with indigenous leaders, and had some discussions with some individuals, as if that makes your points more valid. Like, if a Yemenite spent Christmas in a Quebec household, his opinion on the Quebec sovereignty movement would still be pretty fucking irrelevant, don't you think? Just like yours.",
"Is this the same guy that murdered the dog?\n\nhttps://nationalpost.com/news/canada/deeply-i-apologize-b-c-chief-who-led-pipeline-protest-gets-probation-after-killing-neighbours-dog",
"> When I said that they do not want or need to participate in the modern hyperconsumerist society, I was obviously referring to people we see in this post and other \"**insurgents**\" who are *actively voicing their discontent* with federal intrusions\n\nThere you are again completely misconstruing what I have said. I was talking to a guy who said he literally wants an insurgency against the federal government, hence my use of the word insurgents. Here, you’re equating “people who are actively voicing their discontent with federal intrusions“, with my use of the word insurgents. Your outright manipulation and dishonesty is blatant, or are you stupid? Which is it?\n\n> \"Trudeau speaks for all Canadians\" what a fucking joke.\n\nAgain, as the leader of the nation, his words and actions reflect Canadians as a whole, since he is the elected leader. When he discusses matters with international leaders, he’s trying to represent our best interests as Canadians. You may think he’s doing a bad job, or not like him, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is Canada’s voice on the world stage. \n\n> You say that you participated in some ceremonies with indigenous leaders, and had some discussions with some individuals, **as if that makes your points more valid.**\n\nYou’re misconstruing the reason I brought that up. Again, stupidity, or dishonesty? I did not bring up my experiences with Indigenous people to make myself look valid or credible on the topic. **I brought it up because of your following comments** : \n\n> “You probably never interacted with individuals from first nations, so fuck right off with your imbecile assumptions.”\n\n> “You probably only interact with fully-integrated victims of assimilation, otherwise you would know that their traditional culture”\n\nDo you understand why that is an appropriate reason to bring up my experience with indigenous people in my life in order to point out you’re wrong. It wasn’t initiated by me to prove I know everything about their culture, but to defend myself against your wrong assumptions. Yet you misconstrue the two once again.\n\nKeep those two last quotes in mind for my next point. You said:\n\n> “**When I called you out on your bullshit opinions, you accused me of invalidating FN's opinions**. So if that doesn't insinuate that you speak on their behalf, I don't know what does. **Your opinions are not \"FN opinions by proxy\"**, get your head out of your ass.”\n\nHere you go again manipulating my points agaaaaiiiiiinnnnn, but this time you made it more obvious by altering my quote. I never said that my opinions are First Nations opinions by proxy. Here is the exchange and here is my full quote. \n\n> “ You probably only interact with fully-integrated victims of assimilation”\n\n> “ Unfortunately your experiences with FN were obviously with, like I said, fully-integrated victims of assimilation.”\n\n>You saying that (the 2 above quotes) in response to me pointing out that I speak with and have a lot of experience working with and listening to Indigenous people, is invalidating them by proxy **as a result of saying my source is flawed**.\n\nThere’s the important part you conveniently left out of the quote. You were criticizing the FN people I interact with by saying “**unfortunately** your experiences with FN were….*fully integrated victims of assimilation*” that sure sounds like you hold *their opinions* as less than other FN people’s opinions based on their involvement in Canadian \n\nJust to hammer this point home, here’s yet another quote from you invalidating the opinions of assimilated FN: \n\n> **You probably only interact with fully-integrated victims of assimilation, otherwise you would know that their traditional culture** has nothing to do with the exploitative nature of modern capitalistic economy.\n\nThere you are implying that if I only listened to the valid opinions of “traditional” FN, I would have actually learned something, but unfortunately I must only talk to “assimilated” FN, therefor I’m lacking proper knowledge.\n\nNow fuck off, I can’t handle any more of your bad faith arguments where you constantly put words in my mouth and assume the wrong things about what I’m saying.",
">I was talking to a guy who said he literally wants an insurgency against the federal government, hence my use of the word insurgents.\n\nI don't even remember ever seeing you mention this term, take your pills bro.",
"When you realize you’ve been wrong this whole time, resort to insults. Good job",
"Your first point is legit bat-shit crazy, you thinking that what I said referred to some of your random comments somewhere else in some way is straight up self-centered, delusional, and borderline psychopathic so I'm done.",
"I thought my argument where I referred to the other guy as calling for an insurgency was in the same thread as our conversation, and that you had seen it which is why you put quotations around it.\n\nBut if that’s not the case, that’s even worse that you would be ok calling them insurgents yourself. Do you support an open, violent rebellion against the federal government then?\n\nEither way, even if you scratch out my first point, I still have plenty of points where I show you putting words in my mouth, misquoting me, or generally trying to twist what I said to suit yourself",

"You’re such a pussy. You’re overwhelmed by all the solid points I made, and you can’t intelligently refute them. So instead you’re going to try to gaslight and say my initial point was crazy, and ignore the rest. Just take the L like a man and move on.\n\nYour attempt at gaslighting is a dumb move too. If you didn’t happen to see me calling them “insurgents” *in the same comment sections*, and you really did use that term out of the blue on your own, then **you’re in support of an open insurgency against the federal government**\n\nYou might want to rethink your strategy before you openly show support for a violent rebellion against the feds just in order to save face from getting owned😂",
"Unfortunately reddit comments won't fix you, seek help.",
"When your argument fails, stick to insults. Classic idiot move.",
"I'm not insulting you. I'm not \"taking the L\" either. This is not a fight, this is a discussion on a topic that we both hold close to our heart, but we both have misconceptions and flawed ideas. The goal is that we both win and grow and improve our perspectives.\n\n Your obsession on \"winning\", your self-centered idea that I stalk other comments of yours, and you general attitude genuinely worries me, and I don't think this conversation is healthy for you.",
"When I sent you a long response refuting many of your points, you insulted me instead of sticking to the argument. Now you’re still clinging on to your insult which doesn’t even make sense.\n\nYou used a very charged word like “insurgents” out of nowhere. I happened to use that word in the same comment section at around the same time. You put quotations around the word, like you had done previously when using my words against me. It’s not a stretch to think you had seen it, or possibly looked up my previous few comments, as many people do on Reddit when arguing. If you can’t see how that’s a reasonable chain of logic, you’re worse than I thought. \n\nBut you’re still clinging to that as a reason to call me a “psychopath”, “delusional”, and “bat shit crazy”. (Notice the use of quotations when using your words?)\n\nNow you’re also being a hypocrite. How is that not obvious to you? You say: \n\n“This is not a fight, this is a discussion on a topic that we both hold close to our heart, but we both have misconceptions and flawed ideas. **The goal is that we both win and grow and improve our perspectives.**”\n\nIf the goal is to both win and understand, then why would you insult me if I was mistaken about my first point? You should have claimed I was wrong and moved on to the next point. \n\nWhen you choose to insult to shut down the argument, you lost. \n\nI will no longer respond to you unless you go back and refute my other points in that comment. Until then, I can only assume you’re arguing in bad faith."

"Fuck yeah! Gotta try that roux cocknutmilk thing. \n\nGood job on keeping it neatly edited and chill. Some of it was a bit harsh with the sound and bad lighting and shaky camera, but overall you have a \"vibe\" going on that is always good and relaxing and keeps me watching at least. \n \nAnd this is something simple that anybody can actually make with ease. \n\nGonna make this with slim zuchhinis, garlic, onion and carrots tomorrow. Probably some birdeyes for spice.",
"Thanks so much! The camera work and lighting are definitely subpar- my kitchen isn't well lit and I was using my iphone which is fine for when I've set it down somewhere, not so great when I need to hold it. I did have a lot of fun making it though, so maybe I'll improve over time. \n\n\nIf you end up making your own version, please let me know!! I'd love to hear how it comes out, especially if you add some heat! Cheers :)",
"Tip: you can pick up a \"squid mount\" and 2-3 led lights very cheaply and later invest in a camera with a proper lens and all that if you really want to make a go of it. \n\nJust read up on a few tips about lighting and framing and how to edit different angels and how to cut between different picture sizes and you are pretty much set. \n\n(English is not my first language so I can't be arsed to look up the actual professional terms, but you get the picture:)"

"is this idiot realy abusing the avalanche protection as a ramp?",
"Wish they listed the soundtrack",
"That was thoroughly entertaining. Dude flew out of those huge drops like they were nothing and that bit with the truck at the end was creative as hell.",
"i get what you mean, but this is super common in ski- and snowboard movies. It's hard to say hes abusing them considering they are made to hold back/slow/break up avalanches and can handily support a skiers weight. The weight is also less when distributed over snow.",
"as always, a single person will not do much harm, but he may influence others to do the same and this will raise maintenance costs. and what is most annoying is the fact that this is not necessary to make a good action movie.",

[Something like this](https://static2.thetravelimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/danger-signs-ski-resort-skiers.jpg) If it's in the middle of nowhere, then it's on you still and that is what the heli skiing company or snowmobile rental company will tell you too. You will foot the bill for any rescue efforts.",
"Any person that does this will get their pass pulled and likely not let back at that resort. They pull passes at big resorts for just going too fast. They also probably built nice smooth ramps up all those fences for the film.",
"Yeah, this is nicely put together but it's important to remember that it's basically just a highlight reel. None of this has any real-world continuity. The entrance to that cave, the cave itself, and the exit were almost certainly 3 different locations.",

They were on a flight to Belo Horizonte, which had to return, according to the company, due to bad weather conditions.\n\n> Accompanied by a five-month-old baby, they revolted with employees of the airline, demanding that they provide a hotel and food, so that the passengers could spend the night until they were able to travel the next day.\n\n> The images, which were reproduced on social networks, show when the passenger, screaming, demands that the company provide a hotel for the family. She starts slapping the window's protection board.\n\n> In desperation, the woman screams that she's going to call the police and starts hitting the protection plate harder. \"He's only five months old, it's not his fault,\" he said, pointing to his son.\n\n> Then, the man holds one of the pedestals that organize the lines and breaks the protection board of another window. He starts banging on the counter as the employees walk away. Acrylic boards for the service desk and a printer were broken.\n\n> \"Solve it! My boy isn't going to pay for it. I want someone working it out here now,\" her husband said, as he held the pedestal.\n\n> \"It took me 16 years to have my child, I spent R$ 50 thousand. If this boy gets sick, I swear I'll kill one by one. Put my child in a hotel,\" shouted the woman to the company's attendants, who did not disclose the names of those involved.\n\n> According to Gol, no one was hurt.\n\n> In cases of delayed or canceled flights, ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency) obliges the airline, even when it is not responsible for what happened, to provide communication (access to the internet and telephone) from one hour onwards.\n\n> When the delay exceeds two hours, companies are obliged to offer food; from four hours onwards, the passenger is entitled to receive accommodation or lodging.\n\n> In a statement, Gol reinforced that after take-off, flight G3-1324 (Guarulhos - Confins) had to return due to adverse weather conditions in Confins, in Greater Belo Horizonte.\n\n> The company says it offered the necessary support to all customers and accommodated passengers to continue their journey on flights scheduled for this Tuesday (2).\n\n> According to GRU Airport, the concessionaire that manages the São Paulo International Airport, in Guarulhos, the Military Police was called in and the passengers involved were taken to the Civil Police station to record the occurrence.",

The airline refused to give him accommodations for the night, effectively leaving him and his family on the street....in Sao fuckin Paulo. \n\nI don't view this outburst as a result of entitlement, in so much as it is desperation. Between this, and the clusterfuck with Southwest Airlines last month, all I'm learning is that we need stronger consumer protections laws for flying. If an Airline maroons you, they shouldn't be able to tell you to pound sand. They should legally be required to care for you until they get their shit sorted, and send you whever you were supposed to go to begin with. If we don't have this basic level of decency mandated, rage like this is only going to become more common.",
"WTF? They could have paid for their own hotel....in Sao fuckin Paulo. Or they could have just sat down and waited for the next flight like the rest of the passengers who didn't threaten to kill the airlines employees.",

Because under most airline contracts of carriages -- the legal agreements between you and the airlines -- weather is considered an \"Act of God\" and it basically means the carrier owes passengers nothing. \"They don't have to offer you accommodations, meals or hotel vouchers,\" he says. \"It's a giant loophole that the airline likes to fly through.\" [SOURCE](https://www.frommers.com/tips/airfare/5-things-airlines-wont-tell-you-about-weather-delays)",

"> Accompanied by a five-month-old baby, they revolted with employees of the airline, demanding that they provide a hotel and food, so that the passengers could spend the night until they were able to travel the next day.\n\n> The company says it offered the necessary support to all customers and accommodated passengers to continue their journey on flights scheduled for this Tuesday (2).\n\nThese seem contradictory. Were these people demanding a hotel and a chance to 'rest' despite a delay of less than 4 hours? Was the hotel not offered to them, despite the airline's statement? Despite the crazy antics, I don't know who's in the wrong here, because if the airline *was* trying to weasel out of providing lodging, then losing one's shit seems pretty appropriate, actually.",
"I'm not saying he didn't overreact, but to say to just get over it is absurd. That kind of attitude is how companies get away with treating people poorly .... \"don't worry. They'll just get over it like they always do\"",
"“Maybe if they were physically abused as children, they would have turned out better” is a fucking disgusting take.",
"Until you land yourself in the same position, and you do exactly the same",
"So they have to pay out of pocket for one night stay in Sao Paulo. Sure it is unfair and the airline sucks for weaseling out of their responsibility/promise. But does it justify losing emotional control and inviting yourself to a night in jail? Comments in this thread is pure insane.",
"Do you not know the back story?",
"For what it’s worth, I’m with you. Yeah I feel for the guy getting stuck in this situation with his five month old kid, but it’s not the fault of the workers behind the desk and it certainly didn’t give that nutjob the right to swing that thing around and threaten the workers. \n\nAirlines suck, but anyone defending what this guy did is part of the reason why people feel like they can get violent when they don’t get what they want/need. Both parties are in the wrong here",
"I think he overreacted. I have had to sleep in airports.",
"I could have sworn there were such protections in the US, but I can only find regulations pertaining to passengers removed from oversold flights. We definitely need something better than that...",
"Ugh something like that happened to me, but at DFW. I actually did convince them to give me a hotel room, finally go through the queue for a shuttle and got there at \\~1am. Found the shuttle wouldn't even start running again from hotel until 7am, when my new flight departed. So I snagged a returning shuttle and at that point TSA was closed so I was outside until \\~5am. Barely made it back for a job interview that I didn't get :\\\\",
"In accordance with another comment posted a couple threads down the customers were entitled to internet and phone access in the event of a 1 hour delay or more, a meal in the event of a 2 hour delay or more, and lodging in the event of a 4 hour delay or more…this was supposedly guaranteed by ANAC which I believe would supersede any airline/customer agreement that tried to diminish the accommodations they were required to offer the customer. So, in conclusion, airline bad.",
"Where are they going to pay for a hotel when everything is closed?",
"Staying at the airport isn't the problem. Sao Paulo is notoriously dangerous. Just because you are staying in the airport, if they don't kick you out, doesn't mean you are safe. This is a breach of promise that they were given and puts them in direct risk.",
"Except it can. If you throw a big enough stink, then people online will see the video after it goes viral, and after hearing both sides, maybe you come up on top. Either way making a big stink I troupes risk to the company they may want to avoid by placating you. Usually you should only do this as a last resort, but it looks like that was this guy's last resort. No other options",
"Bored? Unless things worked very differently over there... I can't understand why there is a problem getting a hotel room any time of the day.",
"If everything is closed what can the airline do?",
"Do passengers get those benefits regardless of the reason for the delay?\n\nBecause, if so, then the airline has no reason to blame the weather. If the airline is on the hook no matter the reason who cares what the reason is? Yet, they blame the weather every chance they get. The airlines do so because there is a financial incentive for them to do so.",
"Are you fucking stupid? Do you have any fucking clue how difficult it is to book a hotel room for the night, in the middle of the night?",
"Listen I'm not saying I condone this dudes actions. But I am saying that I get it.",
"Pay a fixed price to a hotel chain to try and keep a few select rooms open and ready incase they have to put a few people up? Ensure that they have accommodations AT the airport that can put a few people up that they control? Buy fucking Air mattresses and blankets and keep them in a closet and let them set it up in the event of an issue?\n\nLiterally anything beyond \"lol git fucked.\" Is better.",
"In the middle of the night? On short notice? Getting a hotel room is difficult.",
"We 100% need stronger consumer protection laws. I’m with you, I was ready to start judging these people thinking they were railing against a mask mandate but in reality it’s just frustration due to the airlines treating them like garbage. They deserve better. We deserve better.",
"https://www.anac.gov.br/en/passengers/flight-change-delay-and-cancellation\n\nSeems pretty damning…take note of the line that reads: Passengers needing special assistance and their companions will always be entitled to hotel booking, regardless of the requirement of an overnight stay at the airport.\n\nI do believe the 5 month old would fit the bill for a passenger needing special assistance.",
"Many airports have hotels near that are 24/7. It is kinda there business.",
"With your 5-month-old in a crime capital? Of-fucking-Course you haven't",
"Define: \"Passengers needing special assistance\"\n\nAs a legal matter. I do not think able parents with a baby counts.",
"Stop flying 🤷♀️",
"Not really. There are hotels that have deals with the surrounding FBOs and Airlines, and so they can serve thier customers 24/7. But hotels at airports aren't open always 24/7. Not to mention that doesn't help if there are not available rooms, which happens a SHITLOAD, then you have to call other hotels and try to get a room, but if the hotel is closed it's closed they won't answer the phone, regardless.",
"I don’t know man, that’d honestly be up to interpretation. Regardless, it’s greater than 4 hours and I do doubt they’re asking for a hotel without it being an overnight situation, where it is required that the airlines do provide a hotel for ALL customers. On the subject of “needing special assistance” families even on the shit US airlines with their shitty compensation rules are entitled to board before first class and business class in many cases if they have babies, so in Brazil it wouldn’t be too far fetched to assume new parents with a 5 month old would fit the bill for passengers requiring special assistance. https://www.tripsavvy.com/family-early-boarding-policies-3571868\n\nAdditionally, since you wanted it defined: https://www.anac.gov.br/en/passengers/accessibility mom just has to say she breastfeeds. Else, they would fit the bill of “people carrying young children”. It seems not every other country possesses the same draconian pro-business/anti-consumer regulations the US does, and I actually find it insane our bar is set below that of Brazils to be quite honest. This exchange has been eye opening for me, I realize why so many countries think of us as third world when contrasts like these exist between us and actual third world countries.",
"I've been stranded more then once, and always they've always got my back.\n\nWhether that be a hotel for the night or a couple meal tickets if I'm delayed a couple hours only. Three times they've lost (but found it a couple days later) my luggage, every time I get roughly 1000 bucks to spend on new clothes etc. This is from my insurance though, don't think the airlines are directly involved at all. I've even been so drunk that I missed the call and like 5 minutes after the plane takes off I go up to desk and ask what's up...Still got a free ticket to the next flight.\n\nEither this is something worked into the tickets sold here or it's because we have consumer protection laws the airlines need to follow(Norway). Prior to this video I thought it was illegal for them to not take care of you if it's their fault...",
"Most mentally sane traveler",
"Damn, that's pretty accurate with my experience with Newark. I've passed through there more then once and the TSA agents always seem to be talking shit together.\n\nThe function of the TSA is just false sense of security anyway and I imagine that most TSA agents know this after some time on the job.",
"Bud, I work on Aircraft. I am a Certified Airframe and Powerplant Technician. I've also been at the front desk making calls to hotel rooms, for people who's feces are richer than your entire home. I can tell you from EXPERIENCE, that getting a hotel, by yourself, in the middle of the night, in a city that you have no experience in, with potentially little to no funds, IS NIGH IMPOSSIBLE. \n\nYou can take your self righteous idiocy, and eat it, because all it's worth is what you shit out.",
"Yes, I am a certified Airframe and Powerplant technician, I work in the Airline industry, and have a good bit of experience in calling to get rooms for people at hotels, before I was certified. I know exactly how difficult it is to get a hotel room in the middle of the night. Let alone with little to no funds, in a city you do not know, that is also known for it's astonishing crime rate. \n\nYou people fucking amaze me \"They can just go outside and look for a hotel!\" Sure sure, go ahead, tell the very obviously out of their element couple with a 5 month old baby, to go WALK THE STREETS OF FUCKING SAO PAULO TO FIND A HOTEL!",
"You people fucking amaze me \"They can just go outside and look for a hotel!\" Sure sure, go ahead, tell the very obviously out of their element couple with a 5 month old baby, to go WALK THE STREETS OF FUCKING SAO PAULO TO FIND A HOTEL!\n\nEspecially when they likely, have little to no funds! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! I mean seriously.\n\nYou guys must love sucking the dick of a major corporation. \"Why don't the amazon workers just spend less time going to the bathroom?\"\n\nFucking classic, bullshit.",
"I wouldn't stoop to work at Boeing, though we did sell experimental aircraft to Airbus. \n\nI'm not bragging about calling expensive hotels. I am referencing calling hotels for people whose net worth is eclipsing hundreds of millions. Granted, most of them already have hotels and their stay setup (IF they stayed, many if they had business would fly in to start work, and fly out at the end of the day.). cBut, when you call a hotel, and they literally, don't pick up, or if they do it's full, it doesn't matter how much money you have.\n\n I am speaking in regards to these people, who likely DON'T have money, which just EXACERBATES the previous issues I laid out. \n\nWhat makes you think they were Brazilian? Because they spoke Portuguese? It's not like, literally millions of other people in the world who aren't Brazilian speak Portuguese. \n\nJust because you are comfortable in walking in a strange, different, violent city. Does not mean that others should.\n\nESPECIALLY, when they were given a promise by the airline.",
"Negative, airlines use shuttles all the time, and if they had a voucher for a free hotel, they would absolutely be offered a ride in the shuttle to the hotel. I thought you traveled? You should know this.",
"Call me the low key racist, and you are the one who just assumes people who have a dark completion and speak Portuguese are Brazilian?",
"Easy to get a hotel, for a couple with a 5 month old baby, with likely no money to spend on them, in the middle of the night, in an unknown city, to get a hotel? \n\nAre you just being purposefully obtuse, or are you so emotionally stunted that you cannot empathize with another person and see why that is such a ridiculous request?",
"They can just sleep in the airport, yall act like that's some kind of torture, or anything more than annoying and mildly uncomfortable.",
"Man my spanish is bad. I heard bring the police, then the lady screaming about how much something cost, and that she was mad about tomatoes.",

"I'm not your personal google.",
">'In cases of delayed or canceled flights, ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency) obliges the airline, even when it is not responsible for what happened, to provide communication (access to the internet and telephone) from one hour onwards.\n\n>When the delay exceeds two hours, companies are obliged to offer food; from four hours onwards, the passenger is entitled to receive accommodation or lodging.'\n\nCould have fooled me.",
"I have had to sleep in some gnarly places traveling big brain. The guy overreacted in a huge way. Sorry. I don't want him on my flight.",
"I'm not Backtracking, I've said this from the get go.",
"Sounds like you don't get out much.",
"With a 5 month old baby?",
"That's an unexpected expense they likely weren't planning for. That HURTS. Maybe you've never had to struggle in your life, but that doesn't make it ok to not empathize with someone who is.\n\nAnd yes. You people, idiots who can't seem to empathize even a little bit, and are too busy sucking off the big international airline corporation.",
"No you're not, you are taking your own expectations for difficulty, and assuming noone else might have a harder time or it might be more difficult.\n\nIf the family doesn't have the money for a hotel, and they were promised one, what are they supposed to do? They have a 5 month old baby, that takes extensive care and attention, and makes the couple themselves more vulnerable. Maybe you've never had to struggle in your life ever, but the feeling of desperation is intense. \n\nMaybe instead of berating a family who is clearly going through that, you should feel lucky you've never had to struggle for anything in your life.",
"You are the one who has never been out of the country.",
"So someone visiting a country and knows the local language, is automatically a denizen of that country? And European? Why is it Brazilian or European? There are other countries with significant populations that speak Portuguese that aren't Brazil. You are just assuming so much and berating these people for basically no reason.",

"Figured that I had made myself clear. \nI don't condone the guys actions. \n\nBut I understand them.",
"I've only asked you to consider others. I can see that you still have a lot of emotional growth to go, since you cannot be asked to even do that. \n\nThe fact that my point still eludes you is a testament to you unabashed ignorance and self imposed lack of empathy.\n\nYou should take a look in the mirror and really come to grips with what is going on with you as a person.",
"It's like a handful of people. I'll give you, it isn't just the couple though my intent was the couple was who were demanding a hotel.\n\nNot to mention that isn't the point. Let's go ahead and say, sure 180 people. Why would the airline promise 180 people they could provide lodging and food, if they can't?\n\n\"Oh but 180 is a lot of people.\" OK cool then don't promise 180 people that you will provide them a service you don't actually have! \n\nI mean seriously, I don't get why you are prostrating yourself, infront of this corporation.",
"The only person talking about backpedaling is you, whole your move from point to point. Not even considering what I've been saying this entire time.",
"Oh ok cool, so your experience in a foreign country is the baseline? \n\nIs that how important you think you are? \n\nJust because being in Spain or the UK \"Is like home\" to you, doesn't mean it is to other people, like fucking seriously.\n\nSo your saying nearly a quarter of all Portuguese speakers aren't Brazilian? So .\n\nAnd now your backpedaling, \"Oh shit better look up where other people speak Portuguese.\" Fucking pathetic.\n\nI've not said that Sao Paulo is the most violent city in the world, you are the only one who said that at all.",
"You are the person who is assuming dark skinned people who speak Portuguese are Brazilian. It doesn't even enter into your head that they might be visiting BECAUSE they speak Portuguese. \n\nAnd you call me the racist. \n\nI mean seriously. I'm the one trying to explain to you, to empathize with a couple who is out in a very difficult position, to take a step back and imagine what it's like for minute.\n\nBut the moment that you start to lose ground you throw up the race card. Absolutely pathetic.",
"You are the only one on a high horse, you start this conversation in the most CONDESCENDING, EGOTISTICAL, MEGALOMANIACIAL way possible. And you expect to get respect from me? How about you start to give some first.\n\n\nThe Airlines made a promise and didnt keep it, hence why this Family is losing thier shit. They ARE in a foreign country, they ARE in a city they've never been in, it IS in the middle of the night, they have a 5 month old baby, and we're promised, Room and food because of the Airline.\n\nBut instead of getting the accommodations they likely, both paid for in the ticket, and were promised, the airline hung them out to dry.\n\nAnd YOU are the one defending the airline, talking about how YOUVE never had trouble finding a hotel and THEY should just go find one.\n\nAnd you fucking say IM on a high horse.",
"Dude we see how you look through your post history. Just post the gorilla copypaste and stop projecting.",
"Can you point to a hotel that isn't 24/7 at the airport? You talk from authority but you have zero knowledge about the topic.",
"The fuck does my post history have to do with this?",
"Yes? I mean seriously, Doubletrees, many of them that I have seen close at 9 or 10pm, regardless of being near or on an airport. \n\nEspecially during Covid, many hotels are closing early. This should be common knowledge, that I am finding people to just NOT get.",
"Shouldn't? Sure, but DONT? You seriously going to sit there and tell me that NOONE has EVER flown around the world with a baby? You've never flown to visit family across the pond for Christmas or Thanksgiving? C'mon bud, the only one losing common sense right now is you.",
"I do believe you replied to the wrong comment my guy.",
"Are you so thick that the common grammatical concept of exaggeration is lost on you?",
"You still seem adamantly attached to this odd idea, that they are still Brazilian.\nSao Paulo IS dangerous, EVERY city in South America IS dangerous. Hell, nearly EVERY city is dangerous, with maybe the exception being Stockholm.\n\nI've never heard this before. I can infer it's meaning, but \"Running out of straws.\" Isn't one I've heard before.\n\nI'm painting these people as very exhausted, tired, couple, with a baby, who were promised a service, and then were not given that service. And being very angry and frustrated at that fact.",
"I want you to say to me with a straight face, that cities in South America are safe. \n\nAlso I didn't say that about South America, I even walked that back IN COMMENT, and just blanketed the entire planet. Great reading comprehension bud.",
"So yes.",
"It sounds like an activity you should probably attempt more often than you do currently.",
"Hmm, Nope, You still are missing the point of this entire discussion. \n\nDoes Corporation Boot taste different than Government boot btw?",
"Yes.",
"Ooooo, Please tell, what does my comment history say about me that makes you feel good thinking that you made me angry?",
"I try.",
"Did you not see how I even pointed out how I walked back my comment, literally words afterwards, and just blanketed the whole planet....with a small hole around Sweden.",
"Is it the fact that I am opposed to the Vaccine Mandates? Or the fact that I am Ravenously Pro-Gun? Or the fact that I argue A LOT on reddit, no that can't be right, if you saw that you would realize you never made me mad at all. \n\nWas it because I'm libertarian? \n\nI really want to know, so I can post more comments like those.",
"That is selective bias. I've commented back to everyone. You've just commented back to me the most.",
"Oooo, You can't even understand the delicate undertones of....a joke... Jesus you ARE thick huh?",
"You clearly haven't read the other commentors.",
"See that doesn't help, I can point to the time that you defended a woman who sent her pitbull after reporters, and call you a moron.\n\nAlso you said that Apple is the first company to make a computer with a \"Retina\" display, and that the 2016 macbook was great? AND THAT THEY DO TECH BETTER THAN MOST?!?! Holy shit, moron. I am kind of irritated at how awesome the newest macbooks look, but they backed off most of the stuff they did back in 2016.\n\nOh interesting, you talked about the \"Extreme Left\" downvoting you. Trust me, I know how that feels. Odd that you said it though, but I guess I don't know why you think I am a moron. See that's why I'm giving you reasons.\n\n\nOh...My....God... You defended No Man's Sky. Not the current iteration, which I hear is...fine. But you ACTUALLY defended the REALEASE of No Man's Sky. YOU SAID THAT PROCEDURAL GENERATION WAS THE FUTURE!!!! HOLY SHIT. It doesn't matter at all what you say now, you are serious absolutely delusional.\n\nAnd there is your TDS showing.\n\nOh wow, listen. Totally not meming. I 100000% agree with your take on the trans thing. Someone leading someone else along, and then springing on them that they are Trans, is WRONG, it's DECEPTIVE, MANIPULATIVE, and it fucks with someone mentally. Seriously, this whole other stupid conversation aside, that is fucked.\n\nOn that note, I'll stop peeping your comment history. Take a look at my history, sort by controversial, though it's mostly about guns.",
"Actually PHDs are the most hesitant population.\n\nhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/americans-with-phds-are-most-reluctant-to-get-vaccinated-against-covid/ar-AANjRHh\n\nMy reluctance to the vaccine isn't of it's efficacy, though that is a point that I am encountering on a daily basis, with coworkers who are vaccinated getting Covid, just as much as others who aren't. \nMy reluctance comes from the MRNA technology itself. We have never used MRNA to instruct the body to create the Spike Proteins for a vaccine before. Protein folding is a delicate process, bad mishandling, not being kept under the right temperature, or other potential hazards, may radically alter the protein that the MRNA instructs your body to create.\n\nThat and the fact that I am vehemently against the government forcing anyone into any medical operation of any kind.\n\nAs for Fascism, I am genuinely surprised you didn't catch my pretty obvious tongue in cheek nature that those comments were made, which was to both, throw shade on Antifa and other organizations that do that exact thing. And to show that, if anything they ARE closer to Fascism, than any other political ideology. Private Corporations using Government money to develop a product, that the Government then mandates to the public, securing a huge consumer base. I mean, that's basically a Government Mandated monopoly, similar to the Marconi company being the only company in Italy that could broadcast on the airwaves, or Ansaldo being basically the only Engineering company in Italy to be able to take government contracts.\n\nAre we under Fascism? No, obviously not, Are those that are proposing, and wanting a Vaccine Mandate, some of the closest to fascists we've seen for a while, yes, yes they are.\n\nTHAT is fact. Whether you want to believe it or not. Those are fact.\n\nAlso no, you can't save yourself from defending No Man's Sky. Procedural Generation is used as a baseline, before someone comes in and pretties it up, but No Man's Sky did EVERYTHING through Procedural Generation. \n\nBut no, here I'll even give you a bit more of the benefit of the doubt, than you have to any of my comments. You weren't really defending No Man's Sky, you were remarking on the fact that it utilized Procedural Generation. Procedural Generation is important, Minecraft is the best selling game of all time, and it uses Procedural Generation for it's entire world.\n\n\nHere, you want honesty? I've just been replying to make you and every other commenter as mad as I could, without regard to truth. See that's why I deflected most of the comments and didn't directly answer any of them. I used to actually argue to try and convince people who would go back and read, to see me as the calm and collected one who would back their facts up. But now, I'm done doing that, what good did it do? Biden is elected, my standard grocery bill is now up to 250$ from 180$, turkey's cost nearly 60$, prices of Gasoline have gone up to a stupid degree, and my electric bill was literally double last month. I'm tired of trying to play the guy who is the calm, collected, well reasoned and researched libertarian. \n\nNow I just try to make people angry. It's great my stress level is fallen way the hell down, I don't even waste much time replying to people, I mean fuck, why waste the time looking up facts and citing sources, when I can just, \"Nah you suck Fascist dick.\" click send and then go on about my day?\n\nI stand by my original statement. Not providing accommodations, after promising them, is fucked. And I can see why the couple got so frustrated. I don't care how easy anyone thinks it is to get a hotel.\n\nThere you go, hope you are kind of happy, first person in 6ish months to be persistent enough to actually get me to properly type out a response. Gratz",
"Biden is for absolute certain the cause for Gas prices, Energy prices, and the Supply Chain Shortage we are having. Gas prices are increasing due to his closing of the Keystone Pipeline, Energy the same, along with banning fracking.\n\nThe supply chain shortage is due to many truckers just quitting because of the Vaccine Mandates being pushed from comapnies.\n\nThe price increases weren't happening under Trump, even during the peak of Covid, during lockdowns.",
"Yes, the United States is such a significant portion of the world economy, that our prices going up, will affect other countries prices too. That doesn't change that the prices were unaffected during the height of Covid, and only began to rise when Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline.\n\nThe OSHA mandate is up. And many companies mandated vaccines in preparation to Biden making an Executive Order. To pretend that Biden isn't responsible for the mandates is willful ignorance.",
"Prices are up because the supply line is in dire straits. Truckers are a single aspect of it, they are a big one, shortage in drivers is a shortage in supply flow. Couple that with the massive bottleneck at import docks, and you get a massive supply shortage.\n\nYes, it's crazy to think, but yes, the single most powerful person in the world, is capable of causing rising prices worldwide. \n\nIf you want the generally respectful conversation to continue. Then I expect to get respect back. I have not insulted your profession at the start of this actual conversation, I expect you to follow the same basic standards of etiquette.",
"If you would like to ask more in-depth questions about how I have come to that conclusion, I am more than willing to defend my viewpoint.\n\nIt does keep going in circles when you ask the same broad question over and over.\n\nI am by absolutely no means an expert in global economics. But it is fairly simple to imagine that the worlds single largest consumer base has great sway on the global economic forum. The US exports a large amount of Oil, in fact it is colloquially said that the Dollar, is backed by Oil, which is pretty much true, Oil is traded in Dollars, even between unrelated countries. The US dollar backs the entire global stock market, when the Dollar fluctuates the entire world does as well. \n\nWhen the US had a recession in 2008, the entire world had a recession in 2008. The US is the global economic power, being rivaled only by China, and that is because China sells 70% of everything they make to the US. When the Dollar inflates, the Euro inflates, the Pound inflates, and even the Yuan inflates. When your stock becomes worth less money, regardless of where you are located (Because any large corporation is traded in the Stock Market), Then you will try to appease your shareholders by increasing the profit margin in other areas, such as the price of your product or service, this price increase is followed all the way down from the raw resource manufacturer, to the Product Manufacturer, to the Distributor, to the Retailer, to the Customer. With the Customer being hit with the majority of the cost. This happens, in functionally, the entire modern world, regardless of being in the US or not, due to the larger corporations being on the US stock market, and raising prices for more local businesses. \n\nSo when the US, due to policies enacted by the sitting president, sees increased prices for goods. Those prices are pushed to the entire world. From Oil, to Stocks, to Manufactured Goods.\n\n\nThat is as baseline as I think I can make it. If you still are having issues understanding, then please, challenge my view, ask me questions, make me defend my viewpoint.",
