What a monumental waste of human life the World Wars were, and to think that the Western Front and the storming of Normandy was one of the tamer, calmer campaings of that war.

WWI was a different beast all together, but at least the civilian population was mostly spared from the destruction and suffering. \n\nThose soldiers and civilians alike are just survivors of the worst atrocities humanity has ever inflicted on itself.

Larger ones, like Herbert there, know that they're apex predators, and so if they aren't hunting they just kinda lump, conservation of energy and whatnot. Since they don't hunt on land he's just lumping. Smaller ones are more feisty because they know they're still small enough to get eaten by something. Also gators are pretty polite in that if they are feeling pissed they hiss at you quite loudly. Even then they usually make exceptionally half-hearted lunges in your direction (the gator version of a mock charge) unless you go out of your way to provoke them (like full on \"Imma poke it with a stick\" levels of stupid).\n\nSo if all that's standing between me and a $1 TV is a well fed, lazy gator that isn't showing any signs of aggression I'm keeping as much distance as I can between us and taking the TV.", "Honestly the best show I’ve ever seen.

I feel like you could find a way to safely get by it", "The steak would end up being more than the $1 TV", "So is renting the tux? Renting a tux, buy a steak would still be less than a normally priced TV", "I know, I wasn't entirely serious LOL\n\nWe're talking about luring alligators with meat in a narrow hallway while wearing a tux in order to get a cheap TV.

Fuck the TV I’m making some history!", "Overselling it? Just for shits and giggles, what would you claim to be funnier then?", "Off the top of my head: Inside Amy Schumer, the Ellen Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon\n\n\nEdit: this makes me giggle that people took me seriously", "I stand corrected", "Ha, I like you", "Hate that this show isn’t still running." ]

The effects of disciplinary spanking, or any nonabusive discipline measure, are largely\ndetermined by the total pattern of parental control and parental nurturance.\n4. Acts of harsh corporal punishment resulting in poor child outcomes are often associated with\nparental anger and depression, marital dysfunction and ineffective parenting skills.\n5. There is no established causal link between a parent’s use of ordinary nonabusive spanking and the occurrence of physical child abuse, or the development of childhood aggression.\n6. There is evidence of short-term effectiveness and positive long-term outcomes when parents use\ndisciplinary spanking within a nurturing environment. \n\nAdditionally, most of the studies that report negative impacts from spanking are flawed in that they merely show correlation, not causation. It's logical that parents who lean heavily into spanking and avoid adopting a well-rounded discipline regimen are far more likely to be generally abusive. Abusive households breed abusive, violent adults. In short, it's environmental factors, not **merely spanking itself**, that make people more violent. More from the study above:\n\n>Environmental factors, such as socioeconomic conditions, cultural views, ethnicity, religiosity and neighborhood composition, influence the effect on the child of disciplinary measures. Families with few\nsocioeconomic resources often perceive physical punishment as more favorable than non-physical\nalternatives and achieve better behavioral control using it.18 When the environmental risks are high,\nparenting practices that are firmer and higher in control result in lower levels of young adolescent\nantisocial behavior. 19 **In neighborhoods were the prevalence of corporal punishment is high, its use does\nnot lead to greater child behavioral problems**.2\n\nIn short, as long as you're not an abusive person, care about your kids, spend effort raising them other than just beating them when they misbehave, and utilize other methods of discipline in tandem, spanking is a perfectly acceptable method of discipline that can be utilized to good effect.", "The video you're replying too is from a video interview 34 years ago.\n\n\n1965 original comments.\n\n1987 video.\n\nhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/sean-connery-slapping-women-dangerous-opinions-man-time-3021169%3famp", "14 year old Redditors: omg sooo based chad sigma", "Y—and I cannot stress this enough—ikes", "That could be a great film..

I don’t remember Bond ever using a 3D printer or all of his spy gadgets seamlessly and wirelessly integrating with each other over Bluetooth.

Google maps the entire world with satellites, you can use your smartphone camera to map out your living room to test out how IKEA furniture looks before buying, you can build a 3D scanner out of old parts from an outdated game console. So in the new movie when Bond uses a handheld device to instantly scan a 3D map of the entire enemy lair (still an impossibly complex task for today’s technology) it doesn’t really fell that impressive. The reaction isn’t so much “wow that’s so cool and futuristic” but more “yeah, that seems like the kind of gadget Bond would probably have already”.\n\nI guess that went off the rails and isn’t that relevant to the main discussion here, just something that’s been on my mind recently.", "He is doing another one?

You absolutely don't know what you're talking about.\n\nEdit:brigaded by fanboys", "I thoroughly enjoyed every second of that. The way they walk out of the startbucks by just...vibrating along the ground. The guy removing the mac slip cover to reveal an Asus, the whispering and transition to realistic faces. Brilliant", "wow. Whatever ASUS paid that guy they got their money's worth lol that was great", "Sure it does in benchmark tests. But when are benchmark tests ever reflective of real life usage. Don't get me wrong it's still quite an impressive computer but that advantages in real life are not as drastic and in certain cases the new CPU performs worse than the Intel i9. It's the reason why I asked for mine to be swapped back to the 2020 model Intel i9/64GB model.\n\nFrom apps that I use which are pretty heavy weight the cross-compiling to darwin/arm64 that most software developers did does jack shit on the performance part. In fact a lot of things become less performant. \n\nI have both units on my desk, Benchmark will be better on M1 Pro but if I pull up EMR analysis model and run it on both the Intel model beats the M1 by nearly 1h 20min in time to complete.\n\nAlso the wast majority of people wont really notice a difference in performance improvements but will notice their software suddenly having issues.", "The benchmarks translate to real world benefits in terms of rediculous battery life and reduced thermal output.

That was amazing.", "oh I've been saying it wrong the whole time been saying 'A Zeus '", "It's futile, there is no winning with people. For years when windows machines had higher clock speeds or more ram than mac's the benchmarks and specs were always used to show that they were 'superior'. Now that the Apple stuff is better in these tests, all of a sudden the specs aren't important and it's more about obscure use cases, software, user experience, etc.. \n\nWe will reverse the effects of climate change before people on the internet stop arguing about win/mac/linux.", "Not true for me, I switched from a couple years old mbp to an m1 air last year and was blown away. Performance is impressive, but most impressive is efficiency.\n\nThis thing is dead quiet and never hot. I can develop on it all day and have plenty of battery to spare. I love it.", "That's not really true tho. Battery life undoubtedly is better on M1 however it's again not that drastically better tho welcome to people who need to run on battery power a lot but performance also drops when on battery power as the chipset drains more than the battery can sustain when pushed.\n\nSo either you get lots of power but not really the performance or you get performance but the battery life is not as big of an advantage. In any case battery life is better.\n\ni9 lasts way longer than 3h and it's super quiet.

The soft version being the default single character and a hard s like the word sour is conveniently enough just two of those lambda characters squished next to each other. \n\nI don’t believe there are words like darkness, asus, or even the word “words”. Since that double ss at the end doesn’t occur naturally Koreans end up adding an extra -u to the last s suffix. \n\nThe word suspension* is fine because every s has another vowel type sound following it but suspicious would become suspicious-u\n\n*another fun fact, the sh sound also exists in Korean and is interchangeable with the soft s sound.

There is no place for animal exploitation as we move towards the future.", "I want to address some of the implied claims in this video:\n\n**1.Veganism will never be a thing**\n\nIt IS a thing. Vegans are obviously in the minority, but vegans exist all over the world among people of various cultures, countries, and socioeconomic statuses.\n\n**2. Poor people in some places cannot be vegan. / Veganism is first-world problem.**\n\nThis is based on a misconception of what veganism is.\n\nThis may sound counterintuitive, but hear me out. \\*Anyone can be vegan\\*.\n\nThe definition of veganism is: a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.\n\nThat \"seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable\" part is important because it is impossible for \\*anyone\\* to exclude 100% of animal cruetly and exploitation from their lives. There are just some things we currently have no real viable alternative for yet. Some types of necessary medications come to mind as an example, and the fact that even just walking down the sidewalk kills insects.\n\nIf you truly do \\*need\\* to eat some small amount of animal meat due to some medical condition or not being able to access or afford certain plant-based foods necessary to be healthy, then it would be impracticable for you to go completely without eating animal products. The case could be made that you could still be vegan, as long as you were making a reasonable effort to only eat as much animal products as necessary to be healthy, and not eating in excess of that.\n\nWhat this means is that veganism for someone living in an affluent area can look very different in practice for veganism for someone living in a developing nation, but the important thing is that they are both doing what they reasonably can given their circumstances. They are both vegan.\n\n**3. Veganism is basically blasphemy**\n\nAs far as I can tell, there is no religion that mandates the killing and eating of nonhuman animals. There may be a history that involves killing animals, but it does not go against the religion to \\*not\\* eat animals.\n\n**4. Vegans don't care about poor people.**\n\nThis seems to be a baseless claim with no evidence. I know many vegans who are also human rights activists and also volunteer to feed the homeless or donate to organizations dedicated to ending hunger.\n\nThere's also the case that some vegans are drawn to veganism partly \\*because\\* the production and consumption of animal products, at least in the developed world, is extremely resource intensive and inefficient. This is because of how trophic levels work. It takes far more crops to feed those crops to animals and then eat the animals than it does to just consume the crops directly. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic\\_level#Biomass\\_transfer\\_efficiency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_level#Biomass_transfer_efficiency)\n\nIt's a slap in the face to the poor and hungry to breed 70 billion mouths to feed every year (in the form of land animals) and grow and feed them tons of food -- all while humans are going hungry.\n\n**5. For some people, meat gives \"flavor to life.\"**\n\nI don't really see how this is relevant. Yes, some people don't have a lot to live for and might derive pleasure from eating animals. And yes, this will be a difficult obstacle to overcome if the world was ever to go vegan. But I don't see this as making it impossible. The Youtuber here is just underestimating how fast people and culture can adapt and change. Give humans more credit.", "Growing plants is not a sustainable or healthy way to produce food?", "Not the way we are currently doing it. Current animal and plant agriculture practices are definitely not sustainable.", "Sure, but moving to a plant-based diet is a step in the right direction. \n\nIn general, feeding the global population with plants is more sustainable then a mixture of plants and animals.", "Should maybe learn about an ungulates crucial role in the carbon cycle.", "How would using less land and letting large amounts of land be reclaimed by nature be bad for the carbon cycle?", "If there’s no animals on the land the carbon cycle doesn’t really function anywhere near its full potential. You need large disturbances with lots of manure, urine, saliva, blood, hair, skin cells that come from large herds of ungulates followed by periods of rest and recovery. We don’t have those large herds of ungulates anymore but we do have cows and sheep and goats. It can be done and it needs to be done. Massive reclamation of traditional row crops fields converted back into natural grazing areas. It tends to be a bit counter intuitive but the more we learn about soil biology the more we learn that the answer to climate change lies right beneath our feet.", "It *is* counterintuitive for a reason: the logical conclusion of what you're saying is that we ought to deforest more and more and replace natural ecosystems with cattle farms.\n\nUntil you can provide some evidence that doing something like destroying the rainforest and breeding methane-producing cows to fill the land actually results in *lower* GHG emissions, I'm not convinced.", "Hmm nope. Not at all what I said. I said reclamation of row crop monocultures and turn them into high value, highly diverse grazing lands. We don’t need to deforest anything.", "\n\nWhy would that be preferable to letting the land rewild?", "Because letting land “rewild” means it needs the impact of the animals that were once on it. I explained earlier about what those large herds of bison, elk, antelope, deer, caribou used to leave behind and what they did for the health of the soil. It’s all about the soil. Soil needs food and energy put into it. It needs the manure, urine, blood and other biological material that comes from large herds of ungulates. I’m telling you, the answer to climate change is right beneath our feet. It’s in the dirt. The topsoil is the earths skin and when we remove it to plant monoculture row crops we’re releasing huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Cattle, sheep and goats when moved through the pastures properly actually contribute to storing carbon in the ground where it belongs. Don’t get me wrong, animal agriculture gets a bad rap for good reason. Because the way it’s currently done on a large scale is definitely destroying our planet, but it doesn’t have to. There’s a saying within regenerative agriculture “it’s not the cow it’s the how” This really says it all. The potential for carbon sequestration via cattle and sheep is just starting to be recognized and it could be a great tool in mitigating the current problems with our carbon cycle. There’s so much work being done in this area and lots of great information out there. Try to be open to this idea and start by looking into it yourself.", "I'm really struggling with trying to understand how your plan doesn't suggest that deforestation is better for the environment that just leaving the forests as is.", "Deforestation? Who said that? I certainly didn’t.", "I feel like we are going in circles here. Your argument is built up on the premise that it is better to use the land that has been deforested to create farmland for cattle than to let it rewild and turn back into forest.\n\nDo you agree?", "I think you’re just a dimwit consumer and you’ll never contribute anything but a fanciful, unrealistic, idea of what a functional and healthy ecosystem looks like. Toodaloo dumbfuck.", "Seems like a cop-out response, but ok.", "Totally is. I don’t have time to explain. I gave you a few words and phrases to google search. Take it from there and decide for yourself.", "Also, most of the land used in row crop agriculture that is in Nebraska Kansas north and South Dakota Iowa western and southern Minnesota and other places never had forests. They had grasslands.", "I'm really not seeing your point. \n\n\n>Beef production is the top driver of deforestation in the world’s tropical forests. The forest conversion it generates more than doubles that generated by the production of soy, palm oil, and wood products (the second, third, and fourth biggest drivers) combined. Beef also drives conversion of non-forest landscapes, from grasslands to savannas. \n> \n>The second biggest driver of tropical deforestation is soybean production. Global soybean production has increased more than fifteenfold since the 1950s. Between 1990 and 2010 in South America, the land used for soy production swelled from 42 million acres (roughly the size of Washington State) to 114 million acres (bigger than the state of California).\n\nhttps://www.worldwildlife.org/magazine/issues/summer-2018/articles/what-are-the-biggest-drivers-of-tropical-deforestation\n\n(Most of the soy is being grown due to the demand for livestock feed.)", "Your version of what a healthy ecosystem looks like excludes preserving ecosystems, so I'm not really sure what you expect me to find out that contradicts that.", "I’m gonna go ahead and waste some more of my time here. That’s obviously not the sustainable way to do it Lol. I know all about these destructive methods of raising cattle, sheep and goats. I’ve been in this business for a while. What I’m proposing to you is that there are far better ways of doing things. Ways of producing meat, wool, leather and other animal based products that actually improve our soil air and water. It can be done and it must be done. Moving to “plant based diet” means more tillage and monocrop agriculture in all the places you just mentioned. Do you understand how devastating mono crop agriculture is to ecological diversity? Might you understand that an intact grassland, properly rotated with grazing cows and sheep is far more diverse and rich with wildlife than any tilled up soybean field? Can you imagine the 2 scenarios side by side?", "Also I think feeding grain and soy to livestock is fuckin stupid and a waste of money.", "What does a preserved landscape in the Midwest look like to you? What species of trees and plants are on it? What animals live there? What’s the ph of the soil? How many different species of native grasses and forbs are intact and thriving? Does “preserving” a landscape mean just letting invasive species take over?", "I'm not sure what one tiny part of the world has to do with this.", "You're ignoring the first part.", "keep in mind that your initial comment was that it was unhealthy and unsustainable for veganism to go mainstream.\n\n>Moving to “plant based diet” means more tillage and monocrop agriculture in all the places you just mentioned.\n\nWhy?\n\n>Do you understand how devastating mono crop agriculture is to ecological diversity?\n\nYes.\n\n>Might you understand that an intact grassland, properly rotated with grazing cows and sheep is far more diverse and rich with wildlife than any tilled up soybean field?\n\nYes. Do you understand that if the world was eating plant-based, we would be using FAR LESS land to grow soy than we do today?\n\nYour concerns are unfounded.", "The Midwest aren’t the only grasslands in the world lol.", "Nope", "I wonder where the inputs will come from when you start planting all this food other than soy?", "What? We would need less inputs. We would need to grow less food.", "You’re not understanding that animals play a pivotal role in soil health and ecology. Without their impact and their ability to put energy and carbon back into the soil we can’t expect to grow anything for very long without chemical or petroleum taking the place of the animal.", "Animals *can be used* to keep land fertile, but they are not *required.* But even if they *were* required, the slaughtering of these animals is not required.\n\nYou haven't answered my question from before, after I answered yours directly. Do you understand that if the world was eating plant-based, we would be using FAR less land to grow soy than we currently do today?", "It’s either chemical and petroleum or it’s animals. (Humans included) And I think that land currently used to grow feed for animals would be kept in tillage and row crops anyway. If it isn’t then it needs to be managed by using animals. Most ag fields have been stripped of everything and it’s basically just a planting medium and without the fertilizers fungicides herbicides and insecticides it wont produce well. Again, this is where animals fill a need. Land that is currently being used for grazing typically cannot be farmed. It’s sub par quality and the geology makes it pretty much impossible to till and grow anything or even build on. That’s why it’s grazed." ]

[ "This is fantastic!", "Love Iceland people", "Kinda makes you wanna visit Iceland.", "You'd think Iceland wouldn't need to promote its tourism anymore. It's already such a huge destination, at least relatively to their population size and whatnot.", "Here’s a previous post I made:\n\nIceland is my favorite place I’ve traveled to. I’ve traveled all over the world and Iceland remains my favorite. It can be a bit pricey as others have mentioned, but you can definitely do it affordably. When I went, we used AirBnB or VRBO to find places to stay. We even stayed with a local family on their farm and got to know them. It was awesome. If I can give some advice/tips:\n 1. Don’t go to the Blue Lagoon that’s close to the airport. There are better hot springs farther north.\n 2. start your trip in Reykjavik but only spend a day or two there. The city is small and you can see everything in a couple of days. It’s a beautiful city but small. However I’m from a large city in the US so my perception of big might be off\n 3. rent a car! Driving the ring road and looking at all of the beautiful scenery on the drive is amazing\n 4. if hiking is your thing, do it! We hiked 20 miles in one day. During that hike we found a random hot spring, climbed a volcano, and walked through some of the most beautiful landscape ever\n 5. get off the beaten path! The touristy stuff is cool, but do your research and live like a local. There are so many cool things to see in Iceland so make the most of your trip. The locals are friendly but reserved and will show you a great time if you get to know them\n 6. I can’t stress enough about how amazing northern Iceland is. Make it a priority to go there.

[ "“other social media platforms don’t have a dislike button” …. REDDIT does!", "As a gamer, one of the most important things for me on YouTube is when I need help with something in a game, like a puzzle or a collectibles guide.\n\nThe amount of dislikes on such videos is incredibly important. Some uploaders don't have the common sense to trim their walkthroughs down to include only what people are there to see, and some just fumble their way through things in a way that is the opposite of what one would expect from a walkthrough. A high dislike ratio tells me that I should immediately back out and choose another video to get the help I'm looking for.", "An alternative solution to the like/dislike ratio bar would be to just give viewers the option to review the video, with simple positive and negative categories- by just clicking the appropriate checkbox. So it would just be a review icon which expands once clicked. (But still keeping the like button).\n\nAnd if a certain percentage (not number) of the viewers review that the video has, say, 'incorrect or misleading information' the video would then have a small yellow alert icon and text showing this. it doesn't mean the video is bad or dangerous, and neither did a high dislike ratio, but this way allows for constructive feedback to help the community, without the dismissive quality of disliking.\n\nAnd again having it be based on percentage of total viewers would prevent abuse. The ideal percent would have to be figured out, as it would likely be context dependant.", "If they'd just said that people weren't watching videos with high dislike counts and that was affecting ad revenue, people wouldn't get to pick apart their stated justification.", "I have to assume this is because of Nintendo Online Services lol", "Removing the dislike button is fucking stupid but given the impression rate, the number of views and the number of likes... Couldn't you roughly estimate the number of dislikes?\n\nOf course, since they are making it useless people probably just won't use it.", "This is nuts, if my dislike isn't visible I'm not motivated to click it. If I'm not motivated to click it, it wrecks their suggestion algo... this is how you aggregate incomplete data.", ">A high dislike ratio tells me that I should immediately back out and choose another video to get the help I'm looking for.\n\nAnd this is exactly why they're making this change. Because the dislike ratio being visible means less time people spend watching youtube videos which means less money for Google.\n\nYoutube is only doing this because they have 0 competition. There's no video platform with the reach and power like Youtube so no one is going to just stop using Youtube over this. No one has a choice.", "You know what sucks? I can't even get a general sense of whether or not THIS video is worth watching considering the dislikes are hidden.\n\nLike, what the fuck? Do I have to actually watch the whole video now just to find out if it's worth watching? Is that YouTube's plan? Just to get more ad revenue from me?\n\nLike, sure, this video is probably good if it's been upvoted on reddit, but that's just a secondary system for rating it.", "you can still dislike videos and they will still collect that data", "Yeah... But if it isn't shown, I'd be utterly shocked if it didn't result in a sudden drop of use and tank their data quality.", "oh yeah. I'm not gonna dislike videos just to \"provide feedback for the creator\" Most of them already know they're making garbage", "look what they did to my boy", "I have a feeling this subreddit is about to be more useful in the future", "If youtube goes ahead with this terrible idea, I hope someone creates a browser extension which determines a pseudo rating based on the view-to-like ratio.", "How to spend 9 minutes saying the same exact thing over and over.", "Look at that. Just had to scroll down for a moment to read the comments to see if the video was a waste of time. Huh.", "Big companies, especially Google, are terrible at long term thinking. They can see the immediate effect of increased watchtime, but completely ignore the more subtle but still important effect of slowly eroding user satisfaction with time spent on the site. No one will leave youtube over this one issue, but the more changes youtube makes which slightly damage the average user experience, the more vulnerable youtube becomes to a real competitor if one does suddenly come along.", "I hated when Reddit got rid of their downvote counter too. It's such a stupid way to act like all content is good content. \n\nI think a few people already mentioned it, but it's not to protect anyone, it's literally just to force content regardless of quality. There's no quick way to discern quality content without reading the comments, or watching the video...or enough of the video which in turns boost the time spent on that specific video. It's why they got rid of the 5 stars, makes it more difficult to pass judgment by rating since if you have enough ratings the scores tend to balance out and determine the quality.", "> And this is exactly why they're making this change.\n\nAfter reading a lot of threads about this, I've noticed some people making the point that major brands don't like having their products associated with heavily disliked videos. Or having their own videos receive downvote bombs.\n\nI think it's probably the overwhelming justification here. Youtube makes money off selling ads to sponsors. Major brands bring in a lot of views and a lot of ad impressions. Therefore, youtube is heavily incentivized to do whatever these sponsors and major brands are asking for.\n\nGetting people to watch a video they don't like is counter productive to retention and overall ads consumed. So I doubt they are doing it to get people to watch a video they would have otherwise bounced on. And the video in the blog even claimed most people don't use the ratio to decide if they will watch the video. I'm skeptical about that claim, but if we assume that's what the data showed then it seems to me that would justify (to them) that it's safe to hide dislikes (won't affect ad impressions) but it will appease the sponsors and brands that don't want to be associated with disliked content.", "I can't watch MKBHD videos anymore. Ever since they started randomly zooming in and back out. It's very jarring.", ">Big companies, especially Google, are terrible at long term thinking\n\nHonestly, they aren't. The reason big companies do terrible decisions from the userbase's standpoint is they have way too big of a market share for people to ever stop using their service because of their bad decisions.\n\nLooking at Youtube's year over year growth is astounding despite them continuously making terrible decisions on behalf of viewers and creators alike with a handful of good ones made here and there.\n\nIt feels like they aren't thinking long term but the fact of the matter is, is that they are. Just in terms of how much money will they get long term versus how happy will people be with their brand. They're always gonna go with money.", "YEAH YEAH UHU aaand I clicked away. ..thanks for the tldr.\n\nAnnoying intros with audio way up are such an annoying addition to videos. \n\nA simple whats up would have worked to.", ">And the video in the blog even claimed most people don't use the ratio to decide if they will watch the video.\n\nAs you said, you're skeptical about that claim and you should be. Reason being, they didn't show us their data. They didn't explain what they count as a view. It's pretty obvious they were lying through their teeth about their reason for why they're implementing this change, so i have no reason to believe they weren't lying about what the data showed whether via straight up lying or just choosing to present the data in a misleading way by omitting certain facts.", "He makes a good point, you aren't going to watch the full video if there are heaps of dislikes. So now youtube is removing that we'll all be watching shit videos longer and seeing more ads.\n\nClick baiters are all over Facebook but on YouTube they get buried if the video has no redeeming quality.", "Yeah, but Reddit is more like anti-social media.", "Like MKBHD said, not showing the count is going to drastically reduce its use. People will learn not to click the button if they don't see any result from it. Probably reduce dislike brigades, too, for the same reason. No fun joining a brigade if you can't see the result.", "and that's how we like it", ">youtube is one of the only sites that listens to its content creators\n\nrofl, says a guy with 15 mil subs, it only listens to its VIP clientele", "Reddit did remove the ability to see the exact amount of up and downvotes, which is essentially the same thing.", "Hmmm I'm trying to think how that'd work. I don't like or dislike videos very often. I don't know if that's what most people do, but if most people are like that, then you'd get every view that didn't give a thumbs up a pseudo thumbs down, which would mean the scale really tips the other way.", "mark ass browny", "Also some subreddits have the downvote button disabled; you basically have to go to the OP's userpage to do it (unless they re-enabled it in the redesign and/or app - I'm sticking with old.reddit, thank you very much).\n\nBut I guess it's okay when we do it.", "In what way? We see the karma value of a post", "Let's say you look at a post with 100 karma. It could be: \na) A post with 100 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Everyone liked it. \nb) A post with 10000 upvotes and 9900 downvotes. Pretty polarizing. \n \n...or any other distribution that works out to the same total karma. \n \nReddit only tells you the total karma, and from that you can infer how many more upvotes/downvotes there are than the other, but you cannot know the actual ratio without knowing the total of both.", "I said of a post, not of a comment. Because the YT discussion is about video votes, not comments. \n\nThe post has a visible karma and a % upvoted. From that you can get the values if you really cared but those together is definitely sufficient to know if a post is garbage", "I also said post. I just didn't realize that upvote percentage feature was enabled on the redesign. \n \nHowever, the discussion is also about Youtube comparing themselves to social media sites. They didn't make any distinction of strictly video-related posts on social media sites.", "Take the average sum of like/dislikes Vs views into account....", "To be fair, the first comment is usually \"fuck you, you dipshit, this video sucks\"", "I'm still motivated. If I watch something that I don't like, a dislike helps keep similar stuff from me recommendations.", "Someone please tell me if RES can unhide the downvote button.", "Not on mobile I believe and only on old Reddit.", "I hate how youtube instantly deletes my comments if they have a link in them.\n\nA couple of times I've written long though-out comments with links to resources on reputable sites. I submitted the comment, noticed a typo, try to edit and it's already gone. Like completely gone.\n\nInsanely annoying to have your content deleted like that without even a chance to remedy it.", "Not according to reddit.\n\n> Vote. If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it.", "I mean, that's certainly what *they* think. But it's pure arrogance. They can only continue damaging the product and making more money as long as they're on easy street with no competition. Which could end any time one of the other giants decides to make a real play for YouTube's space. As soon as that happens, every bit of good will they've lost with their users will be working against them.", "Fuck you Google.\n\nI see your shit", "Does anyone else hardly ever pay attention to the likes/dislikes on YouTube?

The US is a far more belligerent and aggressive nation, who seems to think it can send it's military everywhere and anywhere. \n\nPlease look into both sides of these conflicts and understand China is just another country, with good things and bad things, and that no country or culture is \"Evil\" as much as some people would like you to think so.", "What's the difference between an evil plan for world domination and a non-evil plan for world domination", "You may be right. \n\nHe may be crazy. \n\nBut it just might be a lunatic you’re looking for.", "I was quoting Billy Joel.

Or perhaps even how China attempts to control what is said about china in media? Are these the actions of a peaceful state?

So that's a big clue.", "One will happily run a concentration camp, run over its own citizens with tanks then force the world into censoring that event from history - The other would admit their mistakes and do everything they could to teach the world where they went wrong.", "Well, not so much an explanation of what's happened to the Uighur community, but an alternative perspective to the mainstream US news which has informed your position:\n\nThe western regions of China which are more culturally and ethnically similar to nearby middle-eastern countries, suffer from many of the same issues as much of the middle east. Young, Muslim men being brainwashed and coerced into becoming Islamic extremists. This radicalization of the Uigher community can lead to terrorism, violence and ultimately instability, as evidenced by Uigher muslims found fighting for ISIS and Al-qaeda. This is a fundamental issue that China, as a nation, HAS TO address, as any state would regarding it's population. \n\nThe US, for example, dealt with this issue by loosening engagement laws in the middle east, which allowed them to target and kill young muslim men (outside their country) who fit their description of a \"combatant\". In fact, many thousands of innocent people have been locked up without trail, bombed to oblivion and persecuted for the SUSPICION of being terrorists. \n\nChina has opted for a \"Re-education\" approach, which I DO NOT SUPPORT. It violates many human rights and is reasonably described as heavy handed. By rounding up many of the \"At-risk\" Uigher population, and putting them in deradicalisation camps, they have given the international press the perfect scenario to compare them to \"Concentration Camps\" which is completely disrespectful to the memory of the horrors of WW2. \n\nI'm sure like every institution there are crimes and rapes and poor treatment, horrible, but these experiences are being inflated into some kind of mass extermination or organ harvesting conspiracies which are complete and utter propaganda. \n\nAt the end of the day, China has opted for an approach which is unfavorable to western people, yet the same western people seem to be A okay with bombing people to death instead, as if that is a more moral way to combat extremism. \n\nThe real question you want to ask, is who is funding and supporting the radicalisation of the Uighers? Which countries and governments are trying to cause instability in the west of China? Perhaps the same ones who jump at the opportunity to demonize China, for managing a scenario they themselves have created?!" ]

They both do the same thing - they modulate the pitch to match the nearest note in a scale. The difference is how fast and intense the effect is.\n\nT-Pain famously used fast and heavy pitch correction as an effect to create his style, which was unique and clever at the time. Despite this, T-Pain is actually very good at singing. Many modern artists, bands, and solo producers alike, use more subtle pitch correction to \"fix\" their vocals - mostly to speed up production, since getting the perfect take eats up a ton of time.\n\nHowever, both styles of pitch correction can be and have been misused and abused. Artists who don't have the talent to sing perfectly use it to cover their many mistakes, and \"rappers\" like Scott use it as an effect to cover up poor lyric writing and the lack of ability to sing and add flare to the music using their own voice.\n\nHence why \"aUtOtuNe BaD\".", "To be fair the motivation for this is probably just money.

Strikes are actually very rare. There is a musician channel I follow a lot who obviously has to deal with this often due to using music as the source of his educational/informative content.

You couldn’t even get a permit to build multifamily (apartments basically) until the late 1950s if you sought to build outside the city core (vertical was permitted inside the core radius out to two miles, but initially not over two stores and then three). When DavisMonthan built its barracks, the city threatened litigation if they planned for more than two stories. When base family housing was in design, years later, the city again threatened litigation unless only single family housing was used exclusively. That was resolved by limiting to duplexes only. The city had power because DOD needed to connect to city utilities and the city wouldn’t permit the hookups if base housing deviated from the early city planning.

And that any free market existing without robust regulatory oversight was not only doomed to fail but to destroy the society built upon it. \n\nThe Wealth of Nations is not Smith’s only writing. Smith fully acknowledged that pure, perfect, capitalism was not possible outside a utopian society where deceit was not even an idea let alone an everyday occurrence. His stance was that as long as a single document could be held back from the public, capitalism was doomed to fail. Humanity is deceitful from birth. Personal privacy of any fact would needs be first demolished before pure capitalism could possible exist. And that actually means no privacy at all. Have a mistress, public info. Have a disease or disorder, public. How many times a day you empty your bladder, that too divulged to your neighbors. If you could pop Smith into 2021, he’d be apoplectic by the existence of just the attorney-client privilege in a society supposedly based upon capitalism. \n\nI have known exactly ONE person who has read every word of Wealth of Nations from every version published during Smith’s life, (during his life, Smith, railed against people calling it that and not it’s full title which is “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” which had significant changes written by Smith under the title “Additions and Corrections to …”) When originally published it was nearly 1,000 pages long, in two volumes, comprising of five individual books. After additions, it was longer. You cant even find the entire thing in unedited format (meaning every word he wrote in 1776 and Additions) outside of a couple university libraries in Europe. And in the original publication it’s harder to read than the original copy of the King James. Most people don’t even realize that the modern version does not contain every word of the original, or that there were five editions during his life and several more after, or that the third contained significant new material. Almost every college student who claims to have read the entire thing doesn’t realize that they have at most read just a small part of that document. The one person I know who read every word, did so at Oxford, and taught my Econ 101 (micro) class in the US about 35 years later. That professor dragged us along for the “typical” presentation of micro economics in the latter part of the 20th century for the first nine weeks. On day one of week ten, he told us to literally toss out our books because “Not even Adam Smith would consider that book as more than propaganda. Economic theory is a RELIGION and NOT any type of science.). Back when I was at university, the economists would have told you it was one of the pure sciences, like physics or chemistry. My University put the economics dept in the…College of Behavioral Studies…next to psychology, sociology, and religion… the pure scientists would tell you that not psychology, not sociology, and most def not religion, is scientific because they aren’t based upon mathematics, but instead upon the workings of the human minds - a permanent enigma if ever one has existed. Scientists may one day yet illuminate the matter of the workings of the human brain, they will never unfold the mechanics of the human mind. \n\nTaken as a whole, and while I haven’t read every word of Wealth, I have read more by Smith than just Wealth, and I have read the significant parts of Additions and Corrections, Smith’s writings were nothing less than an outright excoriation of what he denominated the “mercantile class”. US Capitalism is just a continuation of what he railed against. Adam Smith would not approve of ANY 21st Century system of commerce existing ANYwhere in the world. And if he lived today, I know more than one attorney who is a member of the Federalist Society, who would happily sue the conservative, political, ideologues for “false light defamation” for associating his beliefs and understandings, as well as his writings, with modern conservative, capitalist, dogma. \n\nAs the GOPs 2020 motto should have been: think for yourself after educating yourself, never rely on someone else to think for you lest you hand them your soul. And educating yourself doesn’t mean leaning on media that can be consumed in under 180 seconds but in seeking enlightenment from a truly knowledgeable source. You want deep understanding of the purpose of the existence of the universe, you learn from the pope, and ask them to show you the writing of prophets and philosophers. You want deep understanding the how of the universe works, you speak to the most respected astrophysicist of your generation and you ask them to show you the raw data.", "So…I reread your comment a few times more after I hit that lovely reply button…\n\nI think I found the /s on the fourth reread! 🤦🏻‍♀️\n\nAlso, I think you got there in a thousand fewer words than I got there, bravo. \n\nMight have posted anyway, just not as a reply to you, what can I say, I had a boring night.", "Obviously the bad idea had some traction before the expo, but that made it go nationwide.", "So now that nike announced it's delayed Cactus Jack release are you thinking this might have a bigger impact than you think?

Since you actually put in the effort to come back to this 5 days later I will put in the effort to describe why I think that is. - Bourdieu argues that humans have access to different kinds of capitals - social, economical, cultural and symbolic. Travis has amassed tons of economical and arguably a fair share of cultural capital but most importantly through his long history in the industry he has enough social capital that he is probably never ever going away unless all the big names behind and in front of the scenes leave the industry.

I imagine millions of tons of microplastics don't have a good effect on the neuston either.\n\nPeople shouldn't downvote you for your concerns. However:\n\nHere is a response from The Ocean Cleanup. [https://theoceancleanup.com/updates/the-ocean-cleanup-and-the-neuston/](https://theoceancleanup.com/updates/the-ocean-cleanup-and-the-neuston/) They take this criticism into account, but there's also it also says there isn't much scientific evidence for these concerns at this moment:\n\n>There are strong assertions in The Atlantic column, such as “the project could rob the world of an entire ecosystem that we don’t understand and may never get back” and that, because of our work to rid the oceans of plastic, all of the neuston are “in peril”. These claims are based on the belief that “cleaning up 90 percent of the plastic using the current cleanup method means potentially destroying 90 percent of the neuston” and that “neuston and plastic co-occur: They’re in the exact same spots.”If there is any evidence that would substantiate this level of impact, we invite it to be shared with us. That being said, neither the literature review conducted for the EIA nor the additional articles that were provided to us contained any data in support of these statements.For what we know, most of the species that comprise the neuston are ubiquitous and distributed throughout the tropical and temperate zones of all the world’s oceans, an area that measures more than 300,000,000 km2 about 30x the size of the USA.Despite this understanding, a drawn map from a 1968 study is referenced in the piece, showing the neuston subdivided into seven distinct zones in the Pacific Ocean, spanning from Alaska all the way to New Zealand; one of which is depicted as directly overlapping with the area where the plastic accumulates in the North Pacific Ocean.Aside from the fact that the validity of using a single, 51-year-old source could be questioned, it might be important to note that the author himself states on page 414 of the article that “it can be considered only as a preliminary chart”.But assuming this map provides an accurate view of distinct neuston ecosystems, the surface area identified as “Neuston ecosystem 2” measures about 50 million km2, while the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is ‘only’ 1.6 million km2 or 3% of the entire neuston ecosystem 2. The deployment area of our cleanup operations will likely be limited to the area of highest concentration, which measures less than 500.000 km2 – 1% of this zone’s size.\n\nWhile I agree we should solve the plastic problem at its source, instead of cleaning up the plastic, it's a case of shoulda coulda woulda. We can't leave the plastic floating there either.", "Those are Chinese and Korean products.", "I suppose it could be argued that the more milestones the thing with the most eyes on it hit the more it will be in the news and raise awareness. \n\nIt could also be negligible and doesn't matter as long as people are donating.", "If you're looking for perfect you're not going to get it. You have to accept that sometimes positive changes are going to:\n\n1. Fail in the beginning (the gizmodo article makes a big deal about how money was wasted when the first attempt didn't work)\n2. Require taking funding from sources that some groups are going to have problems with.\n\nBillionaires and venture capital culture is not great, but I'm not going to say that no one should take their money. That's just unproductive.\n\nThen we have this quote from Rebecca Helm, whom you've linked other quotes to:\n\n> “We know virtually nothing about the ecology of ‘garbage patches,’” she said over Twitter DM. “These remote places are poorly studied, and massively expensive to clean. We don’t even know what the impact of plastic is on this ecosystem (but we know it’s mixed, some species may tolerate it, some may be harmed, some may actually benefit). It’s important to understand a problem before you try to ‘fix’ it, and the reality is, from an ecological perspective, we don’t really understand the problem.”\n\nI'm sorry, but I'm not going for the \"let's not clean up plastic dumped into the ocean because we don't know 100% that it's bad for all life\". Of course I get where she's coming from in the scientific sense - we don't have definitive answers to *exactly* what damage is being done, and *exactly* how some animal groups might be finding ways to adapt or take advantage of what we've created. But I'm struggling to understand how this is any different from not throwing food into the woods when hiking because you alter the ecosystem and make the animals there reliant on the environment you create? \n\nAnd honestly, it would be productive to actually separate concerns about whether taking plastic out of the ocean is a good thing from discussions about methodologies and their impacts. And by making statements like \"This is a feel good story that does more harm than good.\", you're actually doing more harm than good, because you're promoting exactly the kinds of ideas that the fishing, shipping, and other ocean polluting industries are spending untold millions trying to pedal to the whole world - and you're doing under the guise of being the \"greendude\".", "46% of the plastic in the area they're cleaning is from fishing equipment", "Isn’t Elle Trap a cross dressing Garbage Patch Kid?

The scientific understanding of the abundance and population dynamics of neuston species is, in some cases, indeed limited and that this inherently causes uncertainty. However, this is exactly the basis on which our testing and monitoring strategy is built. Rather than deploying the whole fleet of cleanup systems at once, we started with just one system, which not only allows us to optimize the technology before scaling up, but also gives us the opportunity to study the interaction between the system and the local environment. \n> \n>(...) \n> \n>Monitoring the system is fundamental to our testing plan, as it allows us to verify the safety of the cleanup technology, while increasing the available general knowledge of the ecology of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.I**n the 115 days of operation, our marine biologists and independent environmental observers onboard the monitoring vessels have conducted 737+ hours of observational surveys for protected species and marine life in general – including neuston – surrounding the system. More than 150 low-altitude flights with drones equipped with live streaming cameras were performed. There were also 56 inspections with a support vessel and 49 days of remote vessel data collection carried out during this time.Rather than a threat, The Ocean Cleanup’s project is providing an unprecedented opportunity to collect data and further the understanding of the Eastern North Pacific Ocean, including the neuston ecosystem.** We look forward to sharing these observations and data with the wider scientific community.\n\nThey are studying it, that's also why they are taking so long and various iterations of their systems.

A balanced chakra system enables you to express your true free will.\n\nThe Eye of Ra - Is the perspective of those people and entities that have helped guide you to act/respond with love.\n\nSacred Geometry - Is the perspective of harmony. How the different emotions/faculties on the dice encourage or hinder harmony with otherselves.\n\nGolden Ratio - Is the perspective of balance. How the different emotions/faculties on the dice have a balance that is unique to you. There is no wrong answer as long as you believe it encourages your free will be expressed.\n\nEquations - Is the perspective of the search for understanding. How the different emotions/faculties on the dice mold and shape the directions and conclusions of our search for more understanding.\n\nPi - Is the perspective of fear/hate. How without balance and understanding inside yourself we are prone to responding with fear or hate. How we as humans are more likely to hate or fear what we don't understand.\n\nThe Great Way (The new symbol) - Is the perspective of your souls chosen journey. How some of these emotions/faculties on the dice may be more important in this particular reincarnation. Which ones may become obvious with honest introspection.\n\nThe connection between the equations is they represent very important understanding we as humans hold important, How are things related to each other, Why are things attracted to each other, and Just how much energy is in the matter that creates our reality. Even the smallest of matter has what we could easily call the power of God.", "What don't you belive in science ? Look at those dislikes fucker\n.

The more you have the better you are. Validation is your main drive and you spend a lot of time trying to get it. Probably use that strong sense of love and morality in that effort. The self doubt in your sacral breads the wrath in your solar plexus. When things arent what you think they should be you become enraged and justified because of your moral superiority. This is a very common mind set in the world today. Chakrunes can help identify situations where these drives are going to be triggered in your life.

Hence the enjoyable, obviously not serious, remark about fucking until we're homogenous. Third, the notion you have about \"our white people\" and \"Your coffee coloured people\" is the actual disgusting thought. So blatantly, and unnecessarily, enforcing an Us vs Them mentality is archaic and abhorrent. Fourth, interracial couples having a child isn't replacing \"our\" people with \"your\" people, it's two people having a fucking baby that you should still believe belongs to you and your community, regardless of them being mixed. But your implication is that if you had a kid, who had a mixed baby, that kid would no longer be apart of \"your\" people, no longer your kin, your family, your tribe, your group; you see how fucked that is? You're not replacing your people, your people are adapting and changing based on making connection between groups that have, historically, been forced apart. Fifth, ascribing dogmatic beliefs to people just making of hand comments about a youtube video is a great way to make a straw man. For clarity, because I'm currently doubting your intellect, I'm saying that no one here implied \"all ills of mankind can be cured by the eugenicist idea of breeding white people out of existence...\" Nor is it \"absolutely imperative for you at any cost just like for Hitler.\" But nice attempt to imply I held an extreme opinion so you could rail against it. Sixth, I don't believe the was a story \"just today\" about an immigrant raping 24-36 children and sharing videos about it with his buddies. Seventh, no reasonable person's, especially leftists, response to rape is to laud it. But you don't really care about that, because your tactic is to attribute horrible thoughts and actions to groups you disagree with, and then use those false accusations as \"facts\" to rail against.

It's not like *The Ocean Cleanup* hadn't thought \"Geez, let's starts collecting on the ground before it ends up in the water.\" At least for now, if garbage can be collected from rivers before it floats into the ocean, that's a pretty big start. I trust that the guy who's dedicated his life to this single cause knows what he's doing.\n\nThe real issue is something he brought up a bit here but mostly in the last video: people using donations as an excuse to turn a blind eye towards their contribution to the problem.", "Excellent video.\n\nIf a person is smearing feces on the walls at a rate several orders of magnitude higher than the rate at which you can clean it up, then it wouldn't make sense to spend time, effort, **and money**, in the \"cleaning up\" part.\n\nI mean we will *eventually* have to clean it up, but that should come afterwards. \nYou gotta first stop the person from doing the feces smearing. \nEspecially when it can be demonstrated that stopping that person is feasible.\n\nThanks, Dr. Simon Clark, for the vid.\n\nIMO, Mr. Beast and Mark Rober, whether intentional or not, often seem to take the \"What's the least political way to solve this problem?\" approach. \nWhich is, unfortunately, not always the most efficient way to go about solving the problem.\n\nIt's not being [Effectively Altruistic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism).\n \nBut, I suppose that should be rather obvious from Mr Beast's content. \nHis videos are the antithesis of effective altruism.\n\nThe problem is that being effectively altruistic doesn't make for bombastic videos that make people *feel* \"entertained\".\n\nI'm going to leave a comment here that I stole from **\"Roach Dogg JR\"** from the YouTube comments section\n\n> I just watched how they advertise this. Mark and whatever the name of Mr. Beast is' audiences are very young and enormous. I worry that this toxic positive approach is going to give millions and millions the wrong idea about how to approach very difficult problems. Solving the problem of plastic in the oceans is not a fun adventure that you embark on with your friends and play along the way and film it for a show. These type of problems cannot be solved with individual action, they require a long, hard, boring and non-glamorous systemic approach, they involve governments which means that it can get explicitly political which means that is bad for the trending page of You Tube. The first thing they should tell you in every video of theirs is that it will take far FAR more than a kid with too much money and a renegaded-engineer to solve such a problem.\n\nYep! Pretty much sums it up.\n\nPlease, Write to your representative instead. \nYou could also directly call them. In most sensible democracies, they are legally required to have a phone number that can be reached by any member of the public. \nAnd if they flip it around on you and ask you to take \"personal responsibility\" and stop using plastic instead, then you know they aren't going to actually do anything to solve the problem.\n\nAt the very least, and I do mean *very* least, wherever you live, Don't vote Conservative. You will have actively made the problem worse by doing so.\n\nBut also do reduce your own personal plastic usage too.

Most people running push their arms forward and then they swing back. It's a way to keep your balance while leaning forward in an efficient running motion. When you push your arm forward, it's pushing back on your torso a bit in (equal and opposite, as it were), which lets you lean a little more forward than you could otherwise. He is pushing his arms backwards and letting them swing forward. Not only does this make the motion of his arms look weird, but it makes it so that his posture is wrong too. Pushing pack, means his torso is pulled forward slightly and he has to lean back some to compensate for the constant jolts forward. He's be better off running like Fred Flinstone with his arms locked at his side.", "Lol is this copypasta?", "Not taking his personality into consideration, and just looking at it from the perspective of a martial arts movies fan, I thought his early work was pretty good. For the first time fight scenes were getting away from the standard karate/kung fu styles and incorporating different elements. I thought the circular countering style of aikido that Segal brought in was very cool and different than most of the stuff out there.\n\nBut after Under Siege his movies got very stale, and the guy's a douche so I get where you're coming from.", "He reminds me of those dudes that do that fake Karate energy thing.

His form is quite good. Great use of arms, gate is solid, loose fist. It’s very controlled actually for an extended sprint.", "I would also highly recommend David Caruso running.", "Under Siege is excellent because Seagal is hardly in it. That movie belongs to Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. They absolutely blew Seagal out of the water. (Pun intended)", "Didn't it turn out that he was in the States during the time he claims to have been in Japan?", "Well cum is funny but most of all cumtown is neither a leftist podcast or a podcast about cum. It’s named that to dissuade any squeamish folk that won’t want to hear deranged dark comedy from 3 funny dudes. \n\nI’ve had enough culture war for a lifetime, I don’t really give a fuck about whatever your issue is. Shit’s boring who cares? \n\nMaking fun of Trump is funny, hell making fun of any old man is funny. Vulgarity is funny.

The few people who know will understand I’m ready to kill at any step; any one else will not be able to see me because I’ll be running too fast”. \n\nAnd, you know, everyone thought that was dumb, but there are about forty people named Alan Smithee working on this film at this point, so let’s just get it done and get the fuck out of here.\n\nBut the Director was like “Well, I can fucking see you Steve, so go again and stop with the arms” and Segal was like “You can only see because your looking through the camera, the people who see it in the cinema won’t be able to … and it’s Steven; call me Steve one more time and I’ll do Benpi on you with my little finger”. \n\nDid the Director give a shit? No, he was just like “Reset! Go again Steve”.\n\nA really fractious and angry afternoon; eventually, it’s just like we’re not doing this again, look like an idiot if you want to and everyone packed up and left.\n\nNext day, we find out the Director’s in the hospital.

So if you want 60 seconds of animation that's a minimum of around 60 hours of work times $30/hour, or $1800. That's bottom of the barrel prices for this.
