Extreme degrees of disproportionate wealth? Women! What do I hate the most? Women!", "I couldn't stop thinking about that scene from Saving Private Ryan while listening to this.

I think we have made great progress in recognizing PTSD, when you call a suicide Hot Line; the first question asked is if you are a Military Veteran. These people who signed up (regardless if you think right/wrong about the conflict) are ill prepared at best for civilian life, we then wonder why so many kill themselves.\n\nThe military does a fantastic job of breaking you as a individual and turning you into a warrior.

Don’t you think many soldiers fought out of sheer patriotism or protecting their home like any soldier would? Do you think the SS and Wehrmacht were identical? Do you think they had the option to say no? It’s convenient to simplify war as good vs evil, and WW2 was about as close as it’s gets, but reality is still far more complex and soberingly miserable. \n\nA few years ago in 2016, I was at the Midway museum in San Diego where they had a meet and greet with a surviving WW2 vet at one of the exhibits. Guy was 98 years old. A middle aged woman asked him something like “did you feel the Germans or Japanese were more evil?”.

They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and we've all worked with someone who knows how to use righteous indignation to seem more valuable than they actually are.\n\nI imagine that most people are familiar with the scene here, but for anyone who hasn't taken the time to watch the series, I'll give you the tl;dw version of what happens.\n\nGeorge works for the New York Yankees.\n\nAfter his boss, Mr. Wilhelm, catches George getting upset over seemingly trivial things on a number of occasions, he asks George to take some representatives from the Houston Astros out for the evening as a fun assignment. George is then seen at a bar with three men, each of whom are loud and crass.

I personally like to analyze jokes though so permit me to do that here.\n\nComedy can be summarized as \"connecting unrelated things in a surprising way.\" Or to be more formal, comedic irony is the disconnect between the expectation of a premise and the reality of its execution.\n\nSeinfeld was, like the observational standup it's based on, about taking unimportant elements of everyday life - things we've all noticed but never thought about - and elevating them to a ridiculous level. E.g. one of his jokes was talking about laundry commercials:\n\n>“Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.”\n\nAgain, personal amusement may vary. But the idea is that no one cares what stained the shirt in a laundry commercial. Yet he makes it seem very important, hence comedy.\n\nIn this episode the \"conflict\" is a race in gym class 20 years ago. No sensible person should care in the slightest. But neither Jerry nor Duncan will back down. That's the premise. What makes it comedy is how that is then escalated.\n\nHere they go through this whole act about how they haven't seen each other. George is totally over the top, and Jerry is just egging it on by pretending not to remember. The more effort they put into this, the bigger a gulf between the mundane premise and the absurd reality.\n\nThen, once we accept the premise that they are lying to help Jerry, we'd expect them to focus on that goal. But instead, the characters are true to their own nature. George figures as long as Jerry has to play along, why not rib him a little bit and talk himself up. Jerry, who most wants this to succeed, can't help but turn the screws back.\n\nSo the joke is premise -> vastly unexpected execution. And that's multiplied by making the execution into the new premise and turning again.

From my perspective (and possibly the perspective of those who downvoted you), it seems pretty obvious that they’re doing this to protect both their corporate products (YouTube rewind) and also the products of other corporations from negative consumer perception. Less people shitting on a bad trailer/teaser/unveiling = more sales, simply as that. \n\n\nThey may say they’re doing this to protect channels from being dislike bombed as a just cause for removing the dislikes, but I would put good money on this reason being a Trojan Horse for them to push their corporate agenda in order to generate more revenue. \n\n\nJust my 2 cents.", "? \| ?\n\nYeah, I 'member.", "And why exactly would youtube take the responsibility of making sure a program being promoted has a virus or not?

In other countries the goverments haven't all done so, so you could sue the companies there, if you got vaccinated in those countries. \nIf there was some conspiracy to hide known side-effects, you'd expect these clauses to exist in all countries.\n\n> Why did the media come out so strongly against hydroxychloroguin and zinc as a treatment, when numerous respected doctors endorsed its use as a tru tried and tested vaccine? \n\nYou can't complain about the accelerated approval of the covid vaccine, and then in the next sentence say that any treatment is \"true tried and tested\". Covid is a new disease, these treatments would have to go through the very same complete FDA process to see the interaction with covid before you can claim it's tested. \n\nAny doctor that endorses these treatments can be A) respected, B) say the treatments are tried and tested, and C) say these treatments work for covid, but they can't be all three at once. \n\nWhat grifters that prey on anti-vaxxers do is that they conflate doctors of varying qualities to convey the impression that all three apply. They pick a respected doctor who talks about hydroxychloroguin in a none-covid context, and cut him into the same video as a not-so respected doctor (or someone who isn't a medical doctor at all) who says that it works for covid. \nThese techniques are as old as the medium of video, and therefore well known. If one notices it, it should immediately ring alarm bells - which is what happened in this case, and which is why the media immediately jumped on it. \nThey in most cases (exceptions exist of course) reported that these treatments have not been tested and therefore cannot be confirmed to work for covid. That's not the same as reporting that these treatments don't work. All they did was say \"there's not enough data, so it's foolish to take these treatments, when an alternative that has been tested (the vaccine) exists.\" \n\n> Why make a vaccine mandatory when it has a 99% survival rate?\n\nThe vaccine isn't mandatory. It should be though, because the 99% survival rate isn't true. \nIt's a 99% survival rate that disregards long term damages completely, in an idealized scenario where the healthcare system isn't bursting at the seams from overuse. \nIn other countries where the spread wasn't contained fast enough or the hospitals were too filled to take all patients, deathrate rose as high as 7% (Mexico). \nBut even that doesn't include the numbers of deaths that will happen as a result of covid, but not a covid infection. Get into a car accident? Well, tough luck, your EM might be filled to the brink with covid patients and you might bleed out from a 100% treatable wound, because doctors are busy keeping idiots alive who won't believe in the virus till they draw their last desperate breath." ]	40	videos	[deleted by user]

Off to the library for me", "After reading a few things I've come to this conclusion.\n\nThe \"press\" part was Gutenberg. The problem is when people say he invented a press that used moveable type, the assumption is made that he invented all the rest of the technology as well.\n\nBut the Koreans (as you say) were already filling frames with small metal letter stamps a couple hundred years before him. Moveable type and printing were an asian invention hundreds of years before Gutenberg. The big difference was that they rarely had reason to \"mass produce\" books with this method, they did small batches or even only single books. Reading was still a thing for the nobility in most places, so making hundreds of copies was pointless.\n\nThey used moveable type because it was faster than having to carve a new block for each page. But due to the fact they only really used the assembled frame a couple times before changing it, they never made a machine to do the pressing and aligning of paper. This is not because they couldn't have come up with it, it just wasn't needed, because as I mentioned, they only made a few of each, so a machine would have been rather pointless. They would have pressed them by hand as with woodblock prints.\n\nThe addition Gutenberg made was the \"machine\" to squeeze and align the paper. In his time it was too crude imo to be a true machine, more a tool.\n\nThe reason Gutenberg gets the acclaim imo, is a mix of a bit or eurocentrism, along with the fact that he really first started mass production, so more works tied to his name exist, than any previous person really. On Top of the fact that all the other innovations happened over hundreds of years, and are disputed as to who exactly invented them, as usually all we have is evidence of a process being used, less so who started it. For instance around 1230 AD in Korea a man named Choe Yun-ui was commissioned to create a print of a buddhist text, and he did it with moveable metal type that he created to print a buddhist text. But there is evidence of moveable type being done before him in other asian areas as well. Whereas Gutenberg is a name and a time that can be pointed to, and we like having that as a nice easy fixed point in history to say A THING happened. When really all inventions are a process of standing on the shoulders of giants.\n\nReally, credit for the mass production and proliferation of books, is fairly assigned to Gutenberg I think, But generally the history before him is unfairly glossed over.", "Invented in China, spread to Korea from there." ]	6	videos	Stephen Fry on the History of the First Printing Press

It's difficult to do a good job of the weld and not cause a weak point to start a tear. Welding imposes quite a lot of heat stress to the metal which will bugger up any cold working strengthening of the steel and create soft points which will start and propagate tears from. You'll also get heat affected zones which will corrode faster.\n\nWhile one may drain their tank frequently, corrosion is still quite hard to totally prevent in a compressor tank as they'll basically sit at 100% humidity all of the time because compressing air will condense moisture.\n\nDon't weld your tank because you'll weaken it and make weak spots to start a tear from. \n\nA badly rusted tank will leak before rupturing which is a safe failure.

As a woman who generally makes the first move with guys I like, I'll give you some advice - most dudes don't get the subtext of what you're asking if it's just a general spoken conversation. It's like they're there, they're talking, but their brain is on another planet. I say this with all due respect and love for all the men out there reading this. You're charming, you're wonderful, but sometimes it's like talking to a wall. They just hear, \"Do you want to do this thing\" and think, \"no I do not want to do that thing because I do not like that thing.\" Then they get home later and are like, \"oh FUCK that person wanted to be friends and all I thought about was how I didn't like video games.\"\n\nI mean some of them are politely turning you down, but next time explain yourself a little bit more and see if they warm up to the idea of exchanging phone numbers to text or social media or something so you can arrange something mutually enjoyable later. \n\n\"Hey man, you wanna hang out sometime, maybe play some video games?\"\n\n\"Eeeeh I don't really like video games.\"\n\n\"Arright just thought it might be cool to spend some time with someone I enjoyed having a conversation with since it seemed like we had stuff in common. Let me know if you change your mind or want to do something else.\"\n\nJust roll with something like that and see if the light bulb turns on in their brains when they realize what you were actually asking them. \n\nTrust me. I learned very quickly to stop being like, \"Did you maybe want to catch dinner a movie sometime?\" because there were a lot of, \"Eeeeeeh movies are so expensive.\" responses. And instead just going right into, \"Look we've had some great conversations and I'm really into you, I'd love to get together for a date and see where things go.\" Worked like a charm every time.

Men interacting with women is a whole different ballgame for the most part, there are reasons why \"hints\" go over our head and all that. Most of the time it's because men are too preoccupied with not coming across as creepy or pushy so we tend to give the benefit of the doubt to just about anything you say unless we know you better or you're coming on reeaally strong.\n\nTalking to another guy is totally different. There's no fear of being a creep. Chances are if a guy turns down another guy for hanging out, they just don't want to hang out. Especially in a case like this where they were just talking about video games. Men know how to get along with each other, we can shoot the breeze for hours but once it comes down to committing to seeing each other more often and establishing a friendship, if there isn't a bigger connection there it just isn't going to happen. That's why you can get along with another dude at work or some event or whatever but not become friends. Having a pleasant conversation with another man means next to nothing in terms of compatibility or friendship.\n\nAnd while we're on this topic, I honestly kind of hate this idea that men never pick up on anything at all. Don't get me wrong there is truth to it, but it's not like we're robots that can't pick up on signs. There have been so many times when a girl was clearly flirting with me and I was not interested so I just gave simple answers and didn't really flirt back. That wasn't me missing the hints, that was me trying to avoid an awkward confrontation as politely as possible just like I imagine women will do to a man. But I hate the idea that some women will experience that then go online and see this tired trope of \"men just don't know anything lol!\" And think oh I just need to try harder and make this even more awkward. Yes, at the end of the day we do prefer directness it makes things easier, but we're not brain-dead, we're just cautious.

I mean, even dating can be the same way.\n\nI'm not at all saying it's good, quite the opposite actually, just pointing out WHY it's so hard for people to make friends or get into relationships because there's always the adjustment phase that takes some work and some people just prefer their current comfort level.", "+1 me as well.

I go to concerts all the time. It's my favorite thing (only thing really) to do. I never talk to anybody. I feel weird standing there on my own and am almost spying on people around me talking because I'm by myself, always. I feel like I would be weird if I just started talking to someone who was talking to their friend. I'm also very awkward and shy and suck with small talk, so I never know what to say.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nI don't know why I'm like this because I wish other people would maybe start talking to me sometimes. I saw Icon For Hire in October 2019 and was there with like 4 or 5 people, early. They all knew each other from seeing each other at the shows but this was my first time seeing them where I was seeing them (other time was another city further away). Eventually one of them started talking to me and trying to bring me into the conversation. Again, I'm very shy and awkward, especially when around many people, so I didn't say a whole lot, but after some time, I was more comfortable. When we went in, I was a little less shy but even more shy at the same time because they were all chatting up Shawn (one half the band) and I had nothing to say, really. They actually convinced him to do a specific song during the show which was really cool. By the end of the show, I had talked to maybe 8 people and it was amazing. I look back at this concert as the greatest concert experience I've ever had in my life. Met some really cool people I hope to see again at the next show. The opener (Veridia) was great too and I got to meet the singer, Deena, and she was so nice and was the only person to understand what my shirt meant! It simply says \"fold in the cheese\" and it is so confusing to most people and I love that because it's a conversation starter.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThe best experience ever yet I still won't let myself attempt to re-create it by just talking to people. I have 4 shows next month, all in the same week and am hoping that maybe I can get past my shyness and meet some people...especially since 3 of the shows are all the same band! I know of at least one person I will be seeing at probably all 3 shows...saw her at both shows I saw in 2019 and I'm going to the same cities this time around.

They can talk about their hobbies and what they are up to. I'll talk about my job and my kids. Hobbies? What's that? Night life? What's that?

In order to minimize the risk of a dangerous failure in the event the old tank ruptures during this test, he fills it up with water to the top first before pressurizing it. That means the volume of air under pressure is very low compared to the actual total volume of the tank, while the water filling the rest of the tank is essentially incompressible. This provides a valid test of the tank's integrity (the stress the tank is under in this test is identical to if the whole thing was full of air at the designated pressure), but if the tank were to leak or rupture, there would not be enough air under pressure to pose a serious safety risk. Clever!", "No...no no no no no...I am a certified DOT retester of pressure vessels and I cannot be any more clear than this.\n\nDON'T FUCK WITH PRESSURE VESSELS!!!\n\nunless you have the proper equipment and are trained and know EXACTLY what you're doing you're just as likely to damage and make your pressure vessel more dangerous doing your own testing. If you're really concerned about the safety of your air compressor tank take it to a professional. Google DOT hydrotesting in your area. Call local fire equipment service companies. Don't, and I repeat DON'T try and test your own equipment. There are very specific and controlled pressure ranges that need to be verified by certified accurate gauges in order to properly test a pressure vessel. The shit you can buy at home Depot isn't good enough and if you over pressurize your tank you've actually made it more dangerous than it was before. Also, if you don't dry your tank completely you've added a pool a moisture that will add rust wherever it's at and compromise the integrity of your tank.

This is all ignoring the safety risk of actually performing the test yourself. \n\nWhat about these \"specific and controlled pressure ranges\" makes the DOT hydrotesting valid. Why is a gauge with a larger error invalid? A typical gauge from Home Depot lists ~3% accuracy, if we multiply that number by 10 and assume 30% accuracy that would mean the vessel he tested was at ~150-300 psi. Still within what he states is the safety margin (and you haven't refuted). Of course, taking his test and applying it in a general case would be dangerous.\n\nWhat do \"specific and controlled pressure ranges\" and \"certified accurate gauges\" contribute from a reasonable safety standpoint outside of certification. \n\nPlease don't state that too much pressure might damage the tank, this video specified that his maximum testing pressure was significantly lower than what the maximum testing pressure of the tank originally was.

The reasons not to try and do this at home are many but I will address your specific questions about gauges and pressure. First and foremost I have to say that over pressurizing a tank will absolutely damage it regardless of his justification for that not being an issue. The reason his justification of not testing to the maximum test pressure is wrong is three fold, first how does he know the proper testing pressure. How does he know the gauges he is using are accurate? Lastly if he isn't testing to the correct pressure he's not actually verifying the integrity of the pressure vessel. Certified gauges are used because they've been tested regularly and are compared to reference gauges sometimes before every single test. I have personally seen gauges vary in reading actual pressure by as much as 25%. 10% over test pressure is enough to condemn a pressure vessel. Furthermore his testing procedure is just downright dangerous, the tank isn't secured in any way to contain it in the event of a failure and he's not using a pressurization technique that doesn't introduce air into the tank. The whole point of using water to test is as it is (mostly) an incompressible fluid in the event of a failure it has a much lower volume of fluid that gets expelled before returning to atmospheric pressure. Introducing air just makes a rocket in the event of a failure. With all that said testing a tank that far below the actual test pressure doesn't actually tell you anything. The whole point of pressure testing is to find any damage in a safe and controlled environment, the test pressure is specifically designed to stress the pressure vessel to the point any areas that might be weakened will become apparent.", "Did a celebrity have an air compressor issue?

It's entirely about presentation. Its decades of Better Housekeeping or Good Housewife Magazine or whatever and the like drilled into peoples' brains. I can't stand it.\n\nI'll give two examples that I've run into throughout my life:\n\n1) Counter space. It is never to be used. The more empty counter space, the better- perhaps with a big red stand mixer or overpriced k-cup coffee machine in the corner. Vast swathes of marble or faux stone before that or melamine before that because \"clutter\" means you haven't done your duty as a housekeeper. From the time I was a kid, until now when I visit my folks, it was always empty counters. Nevermind that the toaster, which lived in a cupboard somewhere was used twice a day by nearly everyone in the house, meaning it was taken from its shelf, used for toasting, waited until cooled, and then placed back below the counter some six-to-twelve times per day. That drove me mad as a kid and it still does to day. Need to make sure the Johnsons see my clutter free counter. Can't have them know I use my kitchen to make toast.\n\n2) Hall closets and hangers. This is a similar issue I've experienced not only in my own home as a kid, until now visiting my parents, but in the homes of friends as kids and on. I rarely put my coat away. Why? Because I use it. It sits on a peg, with the other coats that are worn every day. The offseason coats or the special purpose coats go in a closet. I interact with my coat two to four times per day or more (putting on, taking off etc). The first thing I do when I come home from work is want to take off my clothes/shoes. A closet and a hanger is one more step in the way. If there's no peg? It gets tossed on the stairs or the bannister or over a couch. Of course, after you've de-cloaked, removed any hats/mitts/etc etc you're free to then put any item away in a closet. I've never once gone to someone's house and seen coathooks or a rack or a coatstand and thought \"ew, what a slob\". But according to the design magazines, any evidence of human life is bad form.\n\n\nI could probably list about 100 other common examples of form and function conflicting.", "Anyone else watch these old ass PSA type government sponsored videos and basically get launched into a psychedelic trip?\n\nIt’s like a mix of just different culture, presentation, and uncanny human-ness that throws me for a loop.\n\nAlso at like 2:30 we’re those triplets??

Yeah that's how it works...", "Shin Megami Tensei V is the bee’s knees", "I felt it when he said FC6 is for 12 year olds. I really feel they dumbed it down on purpose to be less controversial, and less confusing.\n\nBefore you needed to develop complicated skill trees and build out an rpg-style character that might bulldoze, or covert snipe as a playstyle. This system now is much less so, where you're basically just using different armors with narrow applied bonuses. \n\nThe weapon mounted perks got rid of drug use and skill tree items, so we lost a consumables mechanic and a character building mechanic, in exchange for some plug and play devices that sometimes don't make any sense. What's even more frustrating is you are likely to accidently by some Supremo stuff without meaning to, so now I lost rare resources, and my fire breathing Supremo now makes me swim faster (a perk that does absolutely nothing). \n\nSupremo/clothing perks also removed a leveling mechanic so where in FC you had to clean kill some beavers to make extra ammo carry bags (which basically makes sense a little) now you get a pair of pants with an extra pocket you either have to find in a random drop or purchase. This purchasing goes faster if you trade in fish/animal mean (or is it skins?) for money. A cool ass jaguar is probably less useful than killing a bunny. It all just gets turned into credits.. no more hunting sharks to make a special unlock.\n\nI find the AI more predictable than ever, so again, easier for 12 year olds with no real variation. That said, a lot of the canyon missions on rails tend to have glitched AI for me. Any situation when you are riding passenger seems to be wildly fucked. I had to die 12 times in the back of the escaping Jeep before a glitch worked itself out: every red was agro and alerted to me 100% of the course staring at the beginning. \n\nWhat this did was make NPC reds that were supposed to be surprised by me showing up already have their guns drawn and aiming at me when I passed by. Apparently one key part of the sequence was a helicopter spawning at the start. after 12 or so no-way-to-win scenarios, the helicopter showed up for the first time, and the reds I passed by were not alerted until they saw me. Super weird. Also, I didn't have a load out to fight vehicles so this whole sequence was bad for my day and there was nothing I could do but grind it until I found the most exploit way to kill a chopper with silenced pistols...", "Weirdly enough I don't even like Far Cry.

With few exceptions, AAA games are not where you get quality games anymore. \n\nAAA gaming today is like the aerospace industry. Boeing used to be run by engineers. It had a reputation for quality and great work. McDonnell Douglas merged with them in 1997, and somehow the McDonnell Douglas executives moved into the higher up positions in Boeing. Since then, boeing has shifted from being run by engineers, to being run by business executives. And that's how we end up with 787 batteries catching fire and 737s nose-diving into the ocean. AAA gaming has taken an almost identical path. It used to be run by devs and people who loved games. Now it's run by executives. Studios like blizzard are now owned by a man who has stated outright that it was his mission to \"take all the fun out of making video games\". As a result we have things like the WCIII remaster release, cyberpunk, and GTA trilogy. Unfortunately, AAA gaming is not where you find good games anymore.", "Too much water", "It’s a triple A franchise , yes.

Heck fc6 doesn't even reward you for stealth gameplay anymore so I would consider it a removed feature from fc5 as opposed to a change in gameplay.", "Yeah but Dark Souls formula is actually good", "Elden Ring looks amazing, you're just not the target audience for it.", "I had some fun hours, that's about it. Story was ok i guess, nothing new, nothing unique, nowhere close to far cry 5.

Requiring 11GB vRAM to run HD textures is a really a letdown, my 3080 (!) can't run that, they should've taken that into account IMHO. \n\nAll in all, not worth 60$, should've been like 20-30$ in terms of the entertainment value.", "Yeah, but that's a good thing. That's exactly what FromSoft's audience wants, more of the soulsborne formula. Im all for it. Ghost of Tsushima was incredibly boring in my opinion though. It was basically Asian assassns creed where you do the same tasks over and over. The whole thing with Dark Souls is that, although you're just fighting things.

Talked to him a little bit, and he claimed he was a former grand master and even some Asian region chess champion, of course I am like yeah whatever.\n\n\nSo during the lunch break, he pulls out his set (hint 1 I was about to get schooled, real competition chess set and very good clock) and the entire time he was telling me what moves I was about to make and why they were wrong. Not only did he beat me, he gave me some pretty good pointers on how to improve my game. I was totally shocked.\n\nLater I looked up his name on the internet, and sure enough it showed up and the picture looked just like him. How this chess genius ended up homeless in a American park is still baffling and sad (I am guessing it had something to do with alcohol and drugs).", "Totally. I don’t know him well enough to say whether he’s really repentant or just ashamed and embarrassed. But yeah you can feel the self-consciousness big time.", "Taught you to look at the board and potential moves coming, though. I check-mated a friend of mine who had just started playing chess and already thought he was hot shit because he was beating people online, and it happened really quickly, to the point where he stared at the board for a good five minutes afterward. He got to the point later where I could never beat him, and now I suck from lack of playing for 20+ years.", "[That's a hard sell, he seems pretty racist.](https://youtu.be/TKMGjvGBsVs?t=14)", "I mean if you look hard enough, everyone is an asshole.

This song was playing on the radio where we \nstopped to have ramen together. She never gave me her name, but told me a \n day to always meet her to hold hands and walk or picnic. I finally got \nher name a few months later - Mitsuki. We became close friends, but my \nparents took a job to America when we were 13, so I had to leave her, \nboth of us in tears and snot. I would send her letters, and she would \nsend letters back. At 22, she suddenly stopped mailing me. I thought she \n was gone. 5 months later, she was at my door in America, with her hand \nout to me when I opened the door. We're married in our 40's now, and \nwe've taken walks through multiple cities together across the world and \nwe always stop someplace that has noodles and play this song on our \nphone.

Though his career was initially met with little fanfare in the United States, he found success in South Africa, Australia (touring the country twice), and New Zealand. Unbeknownst to him for decades, his music was extremely successful and influential in South Africa, where he is believed to have sold more records than Elvis Presley, as well as other countries in Southern Africa. Information about him was scarce, and it was incorrectly rumored there that he had committed suicide shortly after releasing his second album.\n\n> In the 1990s, determined South African fans managed to find and contact Rodriguez, which led to an unexpected revival of his musical career.

If it's so associated with a negative stereotype that you go out of your way to disassociate with it or hide your interest, then it is by definition unpopular.\n\n>My initial assumption was that you are younger and don't remember the 2000's very well. The actual truth of it is that you are just out of touch.\n\nYeah, well, we'll just have to agree to disagree about who's out of touch since we have equally valid claim to having \"lived through\" an era, so...\n\nAlso, in regards to your earlier comment that you edited,\n\n>I'm not really gonna comment on Plastic Love because I think it's one of those videos blessed by the youtube algorithm and its popularity can not be attributed specifically to the increasing popularity of Japanese culture. But literally any film student or cinema fan is very aware of Akira Kurosawa's films and their influence, and well over a decade ago there were blatant references to things like Akira \n\nYeah, I already stated that in certain specific groups, Japanese culture was accepted. Your point here doesn't conflict with me at all. My point was that, unless I'm somehow more out of touch than I thought, your average highschooler does not give two shits about Kurosawa, Akira, NGE, Sailor Moon, or any other artistically impactful monolith. And I was definitely not seeing people repping japanese inspired streetwear or sneakers in fucking 2007-2016 lmao. Maybe if you grew up in Beverly hills where your average high school student could afford that shit, sure.", "Anime wasn't unpopular though.", "I wouldn't say that's entirely fair. Lots of people do say it's derivative but the more you listen the more influences you start to notice. There's rock, soul, synth, pop, disco, and more. City pop certainly took a lot of notice from America and Europe, though, that's for sure.", "It's also how the lyrics matched with the MV's emotion. Music appreciation is not just about how great and catchy the song is but also how it can relate to the soul of the listener.", "Momoko Kikuchi’s ‘86 album Adventure is a true CityPop classic, and it’s held up remarkably well. https://momokokikuchi.bandcamp.com/album/adventure", "Are you just downvoting my comments whenever you see them lmao? Real class act. Proper cunt.\n\nLook, your opinion seems to be that it wasn't unpopular or negatively viewed upon at all, and if that's the case, then I can't really argue with you because that's so incredibly short sighted and unbelievably ridiculous. There were absolutely negative stereotypes attached to it for most youths. Most of my peers viewed it as straight up porn. If you want to live in your little shell and pretend like none of that is true and everybody's always loved Japanese culture, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you.", "Is a new way I like to be", "You asked them specifically if they were or were not ridiculed or otherwise made fun of for watching anime? Or they just never mentioned it? \n\nAlso, that specific statement is like the opposite of a generalization... I'm saying it was definitely not a safe bet to say you liked anime in certain specific parts of a specific country... unless you're saying I'm generalizing what the OC was saying, in which case, I'd say among the like 25 paragraphs he's sent me, I'd say him saying Japanese culture wasn't unpopular and was widely accepted and nobody bullied people over just anime is a pretty safe statement. \n\nIn terms of first hand experience, when I was in China, I was asked by a schoolgirl who was friends with my cousin if I watched anime. I said yes. Her and her friends laughed and said I was watching pornography (a pun from what they called anime). My cousin later asked me why her friends said I was a weirdo. I told her, and years later I found that she very covertly hid her anime merch because her parents despised the stuff. Of course, anime is far, far more popular among youths now in China, or in general worldwide, but, and again you may disagree with me on this as much as you like, from my experience for at least a few years there was a pretty strong stereotype attached to it. Maybe I just haven't experienced enough schools where it was normal and fine, but I've experience it often enough to where I can safely say it isn't exactly uncommon or nonexistent as some may claim in hindsight.", "And she also started with Tatsuro Yamashita and Riyuchi Sakamoto in Sugar Babe.", "I first heard a version of this on an AMV.

While they every right to do so, Japan also has a very draconian view of copyright law, which left a lot of hidden gems away from those living outside Japan.

It just means the event happened around the time of the person being vaccinated. That's literally all it means. This is just data collection happening, the data analysis is a completely separate matter.\n\nDoctors are required to report any adverse events of high enough severity within a pretty big window of time after vaccination. This is to ensure no possible links between vaccines and adverse events get missed by under-reporting; the mere existence of a report does not mean the link has been established.\n\nWhat you're missing is the baseline.\n\n1 out of every 500 people experienced some adverse event after vaccination. OK, but how many people in the same size population would have experienced some adverse event anyway even if they didn't get vaccinated? That's the baseline you're missing. If the baseline is also 1 in 500, that means there's no increased risk whatsoever.\n\nSame with deaths. 9 deaths, ok, what's the baseline for how many people are expected to die in the same size population? If it's 9, again, this means there's no increased risk.\n\nAnyway, I think you get the point. Reporting doesn't mean there's a link! Reporting is a data collection tool. The link is established via analyzing the reports.\n\nOK so then the million dollar question is: have these reports been analyzed and is there a link to adverse events?\n\nYes. And... mostly no.\n\nThe risks of vaccination are very well understood and the headline is that they're generally super minor, not at all dangerous, and very easy to deal with. These are things like injection site pain, redness, swelling, soreness, fatigue, headache, chills, and possibly even a mild fever. The latter on this list are actually not that common and even though they do happen they're still mild and everybody recovers from them quickly and easily, unlike actual COVID which has not only killed (as in, actually confirmed causal link) millions of people, caused severe illness in millions more, and continues to cause long term complications in yet more people.\n\nOK, so when I said \"mostly\" no, I would be disingenuous not to discuss the actual risk of some severe adverse reactions. As with all drugs, it's possible to be allergic to components of it, so of course the risk of severe allergic reaction is present like with anything else. There's also a risk of myocarditis that seems to be predominantly affecting younger boys. This is probably the most severe known adverse side effect known to be caused by vaccines. It can be deadly, but it has been successfully treated or resolved on its own in almost all known cases, and to put it in perspective it's incredibly rare to begin with, even within the most affected population.

Genuinely curious where that number comes from.", "i can smell you through the screen. \n\nyou should definitely get vaccinated, your health almost certainly isn't at a sufficient level to protect you.", "I'm not sure what you mean by \"better\" exactly here.\n\nThe vaccines don't only \"last\" 6 months.\n\nNothing is nearly as simple as you're presenting it. Let's break it down.\n\nVaccine effectiveness isn't a binary state of either being effective or not effective. It's actually a measurement of observations from the real world, so waning effectiveness might be a function of other things beyond the vaccine itself, such as increased transmission and mutations, but lets put that aside and just say that yes, efficacy reduces (it doesn't just entirely go away) over time. This also occurs for natural immunity, for what that's worth.\n\nMore importantly, \"effectiveness\" means more than one thing. The headlines you're hearing recently about waning effectiveness all involve transmission. Meaning the vaccines might be less effective at preventing you from getting sick at all after about 6 months, but there's more levels of protection than just one.\n\nThere's also protection from severe illness, in which case vaccines remain incredibly effective, even after 6 months. Same goes for protection from death.\n\nThe last time I heard information about the difference in patient outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated COVID patients, unvaccinated people were something like 7x more likely to require hospitalization and 11x more likely to die compared to unvaccinated people, so even if a vaccines effectiveness wanes in terms of reducing transmission, there's still a massive amount of individual protection offered in terms of severe illness and death.\n\nAnd just to be clear, even the after-6-months-reduced level of effectiveness in regards to transmission, the vaccines still do dramatically reduce transmission.\n\nEven in a Delta-variant-reduced-effectiveness-after-6-months world you're still significantly less likely to get COVID in the first place if you're vaccinated, and WAY less likely to have severe illness and die from it.\n\nOK I know what you're thinking, I'm talking about unvaccinated versus vaccinated and you're talking about natural immunity.\n\nHere's the thing though: how do you think you get natural immunity? You have to get the disease. Which means you have to experience that 7x or 11x increased chance of severe illness and death just to get that natural immunity in the first place. You could, instead, just get vaccinated and face virtually zero chance of severe adverse reactions and death and get largely all the same benefits.\n\nHere's another thing, aside from all that, natural immunity is not a clear cut \"better\" immunity than vaccine immunity. \n\nIt does seem to be the case that natural immunity is more durable (meaning longer lasting), however, it's less general meaning it doesn't guard against variants very well.\n\nSo natural immunity might protect you from the same strain of the virus for a longer period of time, but natural immunity is actually worse than vaccine immunity in terms of protecting against different strains of the virus.\n\nThe reason why is simple, or at least, easy to simplify for explanation purposes: when you gain natural immunity, your immune system creates a defense against the actual complete virus. That is, the whole thing. Every single bit of the virus. This sounds like a good thing, but this is actually why natural immunity is worse against variants. Because your body is expecting a very specific complete virus, when that virus changes, your body doesn't recognize it as well.\n\nVaccines on the other hand, only expose your immune system to the spike protein of the virus. Why does this matter? Because that spike protein has proved to be the one part of the virus that is the most stable across mutations. Everything besides the spike protein has mutated quite dramatically, but so far, the spike protein, which is the defining characteristic of the virus, has remained relatively the same. So a vaccine might not protect you against the Alpha variant as long as natural immunity, but it'll protect you against both the Alpha and Delta variants far more effectively overall.\n\nThis is exactly why experts recommend even people with natural immunity get vaccinated. It's a different mechanism, and it's additive. If you're double vaccinated, boosted now that we're 6 months in, and you've got natural immunity you're basically the most protected anyone can be.", "I'm not going to doxx myself, but here's just a few examples I could find without any effort whatsoever:\n\n[https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/never-ending-nightmare-hospitals-where-icu-hospitalizations-stayed-high-n1280318](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/never-ending-nightmare-hospitals-where-icu-hospitalizations-stayed-high-n1280318)\n\n[https://www.npr.org/2021/08/19/1029378744/hospital-beds-shortage-covid-coronavirus-states](https://www.npr.org/2021/08/19/1029378744/hospital-beds-shortage-covid-coronavirus-states)\n\nhttps://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/12/09/944379919/new-data-reveal-which-hospitals-are-dangerously-full-is-yours", "Did you try sheep dewormer I hear that's a good one for covid definitely doesn't give you ringworm but don't just trust me check out the conspiracy real science sub for all the true fact they don't want you to know about.", "Well for starters the first two are months old.

You can look up the criteria for adverse event reporting yourself, but I guarantee you it says something along the lines of: medical professionals are mandatory reporters, severe enough adverse events are automatic reports, and everything else has some guidelines pertaining to whether or not it should be reported.\n\nThe fundamental point is this: reporting an adverse event is not the same thing as proving that the vaccine caused the adverse event.\n\nThat is literally the entire point of reporting adverse events. We don't know if the vaccines caused them, so we report them and analyze the data to find changes to risk of adverse events versus a baseline.\n\nThus far, almost no risks have been found, and those that have are rare and still far better chances that actual COVID.\n\nLike I readily admitted in my very post you replied to: I'm aware of the Myocarditis risk. Just like I said, it's most common in children, particularly male children.\n\nThis is a side effect that has been known for quite some time, and for the adult population it's prevalence (low) and survivability (high) is very well known.\n\nWhat's happening now is that vaccines are being administered for the first time in large numbers in the real world to younger children. Just like in adults, the Myocarditis risk exists, and just like we saw with numerous emerging evidence of potential risky side effects, some health departments, states, or even countries are electing to temporarily suspend administering vaccines to this new group until these risks are studied more.\n\nThis is normal, and different groups will be quicker to suspend or not suspend operations when things are even the slightest bit concerning. The very article you linked says it's a temporary halt until the data is better understood.\n\nThere might be a change in dosage for one or more vaccines for children (there already is a change in dosage compared to adults of course) depending on if this risk of myocarditis does indeed end up being yet higher than what's already been observed in adults.\n\nEven knowing all this, the vaccines are still broadly recommended by every single health agency on the planet for literally everyone. There are some specific regions recommending specific changes to some of the dosing like in this case Taiwan recommending only a single dose for 12-17 year olds instead of both doses. This is fine and none of this undermines the simple reality that the vaccines on the whole are incredibly safe and effective.\n\nIt's a good thing not a bad thing that we're taking each and every emerging adverse event risk seriously and adjusting as we go. It's not like we were flying blind to begin with though. The clinical trials on these vaccines were by far the biggest ever in the world, and the amount of real world data is also unprecedented.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D2rFMPN9js	/r/videos/comments/qur967/ronnie_osullivans_1997_snooker_maximum_break_in/	[ "In snooker, there are 7 colours of balls that you can pot. 15 are red, and the others are collectively known as the \"coloured\" balls. Reds are worth 1, then Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink and Black are 2 through 7.\n\nBarring any fouls/penalties, when you approach the table, you must hit the cue ball so it strikes a red. If you successfully pot a red, you then attempt to pot a colour, and the colour is returned to its spot if you were successful. If you fail to pot a ball (but the cue ball strikes a legal ball, either red, or colour, depending on if you had previously potted a red), then your turn is over and the other person gets a turn. The score on your turn is referred to as the break. So if you potted a red, a black, a red, and a pink, your break would be 15. The person who scores the higher score for the frame, wins the frame. The numbers in the middle of the score show that it's a best of 19 frames contest, and O'Sullivan is leading Price 8 frames to 5.\n\nThe difficulty is that the reds are closely packed together, and if you open them up too widely too early, if you miss a pot, you give your opponent a chance to make a good score for the frame, possibly enough to beat you.\n\nSo you have to open the pack of reds up a little bit, pot those reds (with a coloured ball between), and then carefully open up the reds again, leaving them open for you to pot one. Hopefully.\n\nOnce all the reds are gone, the coloureds are potted in turn, and this time, remain potted.\n\nUsually on a high break, if the difference between your score and your opponent's score is larger than the number of points available on the table, then when you've completed your turn the opponent will concede the frame. This is why the commentator referred to the frame as being \"safe\" partway through.\n\nIf you pot Red then Black, 15 times, then all six coloured balls in sequence, you get 147 points, the maximum break. It's a very rare occurrence.\n\nIt is theoretically possible to score more than 147 if your opponent fouls (either by sinking the cue ball, or striking a coloured ball before striking a red). If the position of the cue ball subsequent to such a foul means that the cue ball cannot see both sides of any single red, then the referee declares that the player has a free ball. That means he can strike and pot a colour as if it were a red. It will score 1 point, but because it is actually a colour, it will get replaced on its spot. The player could then pot the black, and then go on to pot the 15 reds as in a regular maximum break. The theoretical maximum break is thus 155. However, in professional play, to have a foul before a single red has been potted, leaving the reds closed enough for there to be a free ball, but open enough to follow through for a maximum break is much, much rarer. There are some video clips that include such a situation on youtube, but they were exhibition play - the foul a deliberate set up to see if the player could succeed in doing the 155 break. The pressure is much less than in tournament play where there are often high valued prizes for the highest breaks of the tournament. In the clip above, £147,000 was referenced as the prize for a maximum break, a considerable sum, particularly when you adjust for inflation since 1997.", "Dude, you need to up your repost game, once every 10 yrs will never win the internet. 😉", "😂", "once all the reds are potted, do you have to pot the colours in order of value? or does o’sullivan simply do that (i think he does at least) as a tactical choice?", "Yes, after all the reds are gone, the colours must be potted in value order.", "great. thanks!", "The clip of Ronnie asking about the size of the pot for a 147, then insinuating that he's going to mess up the break if the prize isn't big enough, 2 shots into a break is another personal favorite. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2di8RpAMNQQ&ab\\_channel=BobDave", "I read this 4 times and still don't understand.. haha", "Yes!

It’s why every parachute actually has two parachutes - a second one in case the first fails. It is not a matter of if, but when, something goes wrong.
