Sure, in that role as a ticket for admission they work fine. \n\nI'm saying that buying and selling them as investments for art and media is being run as a scam.

An NFT is an image of it that can be endlessly replicated, excepting it's 'certificate'. If people like the image of the Mona Lisa, which they do, they may want to own the actual artwork as it has value outside just a copy of it. The NFT does not. It's still just a digital image that anyone can equally see and experience. \n\n>literally, paper money does not have inherit value.\n\nBut the value of what I get for paper money isn't solely dependent on hype men and scam artists telling people they can resell the paper money for more later. \n\nYou can have endless uses for my magic rock. It's a doorstop, a weapon, a paperweight, and you can use it to build incredible things. Like stocks, my magic rock can absolutely increase a hundred fold in value. All you have to do is buy my magic rock for $10,000, then go around telling people what a great deal your magic rock is so it increases in value. Please ignore all those people over there picking up identical looking rocks for free. My rock is different because it comes with a magic rock certificate.", "I repeat, NFT is not a picture, it is a token, those pictures are representations of a token, and again it can't be replicated.

Art is just begging \nSome paintings come with an artist's signature or (if it's possible) a photo of them signed, this the new signature. If you own NFT you can turn or redeem it into a Physical object, and as you said, people like to own the original as it has value outside just a copy. Everyone can also google Mona Lisa, print it, and equally, see and experience %99 of the same thing.\n\nHow old are you out of curiosity? No offense btw but has nothing to do with this conversation I am just curious.", "I think NFT technology is really interesting, but I do have one legitimate question I can't find the answer to. How is authority to mint an NFT managed? Once an NFT is on the blockchain, great, we can verify who owns the token and we can rely on the decentralized nature of the chain to make this secure and trustworthy. But couldn't anyone mint an NFT, regardless of the true original ownership?\n\nEspecially in the context of metadata NFTs that just point to a URL hosting the asset. Or even if the NFT includes a full text representation of the file, like a hash of the binary or something, couldn't someone just change a single pixel or frame of a video, and make a new NFT that is technically a different file?", "You can literally upload the same file that's not how it works, NFT helps to distinguish between fake an original if someone made a post malone NFT would you think post malone himself is the one doing it? You wouldn't think that unless he tweets or do something to prove it, in the future probably a lot of people will show their wallet on twitter. The beauty of NFTs come into play when you know who minted, who has it (at least in a basic level) which is the only way to prove originality in virtual space and has a lot, and I mean a lot more benefits than that.

What's your grounds for this being faked?", "I'm not fluent in the newest looping tech but I don't see anything stopping and starting the loops. Like when she uses her mic to capture the shaker and it loops but then her vocals don't? Then in the bridge the whole thing stops and I don't see her make a changes to a looper or switch anywhere. The song is dope live or not but I'm confused how this was done if it is truly live.\n\nedit- never mind, it looks like she uses a sequenced loop set up.

Technically this isn’t live either. This would be live to tape. \n\nThat said. I did listen again and there is a cable rattle and another sound when she places the mic. I was wrong about that. Regardless about this discussion, edited productions are no longer live.", "Ah right so they basically write the loop timings into a script - so if she were to (just as an example) have to wait another 4 bars because she struggled with a guitar strap, she'd have to start all over again?", "Eeesh dude, no one says live to tape anymore, nor do I think you know what that means lol\n\nI'm curious what you think is being edited in post.\n\nLike I've been saying, all the effects can easily be done live. The only 'editing' that is happening in post-production is probably some mastering and a lil mixing, which is just glorified EQ and volume changes to make the mix sound less 'muddy'... this is standard for quite literally every single musical production ever released that is not a crappy iPhone video of a performance.\n\nSo this is where I ask you, where do you draw the line? Do you consider it 'live' when someone just does a quick volume change in post? What about a lil EQ? Does some reverb prevent it from being 'live'? How about some outboard distressor?\n\nRegardless, as I've been saying, the only thing that is being 'edited' in post is most likely some EQ, Compression and volume. Easily some of the most transparent and passive effects. Stop trying to devalue an artist for taking their production seriously and wanting make their music be legible for audiences listening on different devices (which is the main point of mastering).", "About darn time! Glad to see she did another one of these, the Foo Fighters/Bobby Caldwell mashup is incredible.", "Yeah, more or less. You can also program in effects changes as well, so all the reverb changes and whatnot are happening in realtime.", "Sounds cool! Thanks!", "What are you talking about?

It means you recorded it as a live production to be seen or heard as that live production. Not edited after.", "Look m8, I have almost a decade of experience working in the music industry, no one has ever used ‘live to tape’ in that context. \n\nThat might’ve been the case pre 90’s when tape was actually being used and you had to do everything in one take, but here’s the thing, even then I guarantee you there was still mixing and mastering happening in post. \n\nStop pretending you know what you’re talking about because you read a book about Live from Abbey Road, you clearly have no clue about any sort of music production.", "Hi I have 20 years broadcasting experience. You still say live to tape when you’re doing live to tape because it’s called live to tape.\n\nJust because your shit band recorded an EP you spent your allowance on doesn’t mean you know anything about production or broadcasting.\n\nYou’re literally describing editing something. As in not live to tape. Live to tape is done as if the production was live... to tape. Wow!", "Fugues use imitation as a callback to the initial motif of the song but they're so, so, so much more complex than just slices of beats and melody being looped over one another. Still, I get your point... but no.", "Hahahahaha get real, saying you have 20 years of broadcasting experience and pretending to know anything about music production is like saying you’re a pro hockey player cuz you do sports photography. Unless you’ve actually recorded, produced, mixed and mastered music yourself, then you don’t know shit about music production.\n\nI will concede that broadcasting is the only place where your definition of ‘live to tape’ works, but seeing as how this performance was NOT broadcast live and was obviously recorded beforehand, your experience is completely irrelevant.\n\nPersonal attacks on my band and music just means I’m right.

You just described live to tape but somehow think it’s not.", "I know I'm being pedantic, but I feel like \"live looping\" is a bad name for that. It's actually more of a pre-produced, rehearsed performance. Which actually sounds more difficult than live looping in some ways.", "Don’t pull this bullshit on me. She recorded her music with all the musical information there, then sent it out for mixing and mastering. All that mixing and mastering does is adjust levels and EQ’s things so everything can be heard clearly in the mix regardless of what speakers it’s being played through. Any self respecting artist will get their pre-recorded live performance mixed and mastered. It’s not like the producer is sitting there chopping up samples and adding layers that weren’t there during the performance. Just because it wasn’t broadcast ‘live to tape’ with no post production doesn’t make her performance is any less ‘live’. Like, sorry you only think that performances are ‘live’ if they sound like a harmonic dumpster fire. Maybe you should learn a thing or two about the work that goes into producing music before you start saying it’s ‘not live’, because as I’ve been saying, no important musical information was added in post.", "Live to tape means produced live and broadcast as such later. \n\nLive is broadcast and produced simultaneously. \n\nYou’re talking about neither. It’s really not complicated. I was sad Great Scott closed but now I’m not so I never have to see your shitty band’s name on a flyer for a good club again.", "Naw, you’re just a moron. Every single ‘live’ performance that is recorded and put out on CD, DVD, YouTube, whatever, has had some sort of mixing/mastering in post production. Those are still live performances. \n\nAlso, shame on you for dragging Great Scott’s name through the mud. Once again, all you’re doing is devaluing musicians and venues made possible by musicians. Especially for someone who works in broadcast, maybe you should stop putting down the people actually doing the real work in your industry.", "I’m putting you down for not understanding the English language. If it’s edited later it’s not live or live to tape.", "Yeah, the software she’s using is fully programmable to start and stop loops, as well as do midi/effects automation. So all the effects and musical information you’re hearing is done live. Everything from the auto tune to the reverb is done live. The production that’s happening in post is probably just some basic mixing and mastering to make it sound good on all speakers.", "Don’t get twisted, this started cuz you felt the need to comment on a video of a young musician implying that she faked her performance. During which you’ve dragged a beloved music venue through the mud as well as made personal attacks against my band and music.

The victim is squeezing the scammer's handle, but the scammer's pump isn't switched on so the victim doesn't get any fuel into their own car. The numbers on the scammer's meter stay at zero.", "One of the reasons gas stations preferred this is that customers would fill up then pay inside, during which time they might buy something inside.

The guy getting scammed is just standing there, hands in pocket, staring at the machine with a hose in his car?", "It used to not be like that but then people were easily stealing gas.\n\nI knew a kid in high school that didnt pay for gas for over a year by simply driving up to the pump, getting gas, and just driving off.\n\nThings like that are why everything is now prepaid.", "I think both pumps are from the innocent guy's side.", "Genuinely curious: do you go into the station, give them $100, pump your gas, realize it only costs $70, and then go back into the station to get your change?

This is the most likely because it looks like his handle is locked, and it WILL NOT lock unless gas is flowing. This means that the story is not clearly explaining how the scam works, but if you look at some other comments, it's possible that the scammer IS paying for the gas going into the victim's car, but continues to pump more into their own vehicle after the real customer leaves, and this gas is being charged to the victim's card. The amount scammed is the difference in what they paid into the victim's car and what they put into their own.\n2. He has placed the nozzle into the tank and is simply standing there doing absolutely nothing. The nozzle is not locked and no gas is being pumped. This option is only possible if the victim is utterly deaf and stupid.\n\nThere's no third option.", "So you're suggesting that the scammer pre-authorized their terminal, whose hose is in the victim's car, so that gas would flow realistically through the victim's hose, but is filling their much larger tank using the victim's pre-authorized card.

The victim is receiving gas flow, or is simply standing doing nothing staring at the pump. Bear in mind two things...\n\n1) If your hand isn't on the pump AND you are receiving gas, you have locked the handle. This requires gas to be flowing.\n\n2) If you have NOT locked it, then without your hand on it, no gas would be flowing.\n\nWith those two facts in mind, and looking at the victim...what do you think he is doing? I'm genuinely interested to know.", "I go to that gas station a few times a week! That’s crazy. Not in the best part of town so not surprised either", "This assumes that people actually pay attention to what they are doing. Have you been on the road lately?", "The inconvenience is having to speak to them twice when once seems to work everywhere else…", "no prob. have a good day tomorrow!", "Then do some basic math in your head and don't pay for more gas than you need.", "As if that is any more convenient, just do away with the system.

Thank you for posting this.", "I like this avatar of long-haired Trent Reznor as Aragorn. I'm re-imagining the trilogy now.", "He would have succumbed to the ring at some point.

I'm here for it.", "Well… I wish I hadn’t clicked that.", "The books explain it a little better, but the answer is mostly destiny and duty.\n\nAnd if you're honest to the characters, Aragorn didn't want to go with the ring to Mordor- he would have done it, but he would have done it out of duty and obligation. He wanted to go to Gondor with Boromir and the now reforged Anduril.\n\nThe movies don't quite make it clear but in the books most of the characters (and particularly Frodo) see the idea of taking the ring into Mordor and to Mt Doom as basically idiotically suicidal. They'll do try it because it needs to be done, but they don't actually believe they will win.\n\nThat's why Frodo leaves them, because at that point he's already seeing the effect the ring's having on his companions, he can feel it on himself, he knows they've got another idea that many of them want to do (Save/help Gondor) and he knows that he can't do that, and that dragging anyone along with him is essentially consigning himself to death.\n\nWhether it's born of Tolkein's wartime experience, or it's just a feature he thought would be compelling, Frodo is very fatalistic throughout LotR. He is very sure this quest won't work, he'll fail, they'll get captured and they'll be tortured so thoroughly and horrible they'll beg for death before it comes. eg. There's a scene where Sam points out that they're going through their rations too fast, they won't have enough for the return journey, Frodo laughs a little and asks if Sam really thinks that'll be a problem, Sam then admits, no it probably won't be. So they're expecting to fail, they have very little hope of success. But they don't wallow in misery or despair, they've resolved themselves to this fate and this duty- they'll take the ring as far as they can, as long as they can bear it, and get it as close to Mt Doom as they can before they're captured and killed.\n\nSo , simply: \n\n* It had to be Frodo because Elrond and Gandalf saw it as fate and that the fate of the ring-bearer was Frodo's.\n* Aragorn could have come with, but Frodo knew it wasn't what he truly wanted and didn't have any wish to consign anyone else to what he saw as a sure death.\n\nThe relevant quotes, if you want\n\nElrond: \n\n>'If I understand aright all I have heard,' he said, 'I think that this task is appointed for you, Frodo; and that if you do not find a way, no one will. This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and counsels of the Great.'\n\nand Gandalf:\n\n>'Behind that there was something else at work, beyond any design of the Ring-maker. I can put it no plainer than by saying that Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, and not by its maker. In which case you also were meant to have it.

In terms of power density nuclear is unsurpassed. When you compare the actual disasters that have taken place you get a grand total of three. Chernoybl which as mentioned was a disaster on all accounts. The other two (three mile island and Fukushima) resulted in zero deaths. Three miles island was relatively minor and most importantly very early in the development of nuclear power. Fukushima on the other hand is a excellent case study of how the worst cases scenario can be managed. The melt down was not caused by human error but rather by a natural disaster and we still had zero deaths and minimal long term radiation. \n\n\nCompare these 3 events to the scores of oil spills, gas explosions, and the 100 years of pollution due to fossil fuels one is a pretty clear winner. Nuclear only has the potential of ill effects, fossil fuels the effects are guaranteed. \nFinally let's compare nuclear to renewable, CO2 emission free power sources. The most significant sources would be wind and solar. These sources are great but they don't have the power density that nuclear does. They certainly have a place along side nuclear on the power grids of the future but they fail to solve our abilities for transportation. \n\nSome transportation options likely could go electric (trucks + trains), but others can't. An excellent example of this is cargo ships. Electric ships for the time being, completely out of the picture. A ship with enough battery power to make it across the pacific ocean would take up half of its cargo on batteries alone. Using renewable to power the ship has some feasibility but seems to me to be a long way off and unreliable. Nuclear ships on the other hand are a tested method and surprisingly incident free. While this idea has been tested in the merchant fleet, it has failed to take hold.

Design reviews and getting approvals from all the regulators is a huge drain on resources. The last project I did at a nuclear plant was a simple stand-alone feed-water sampling system.

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/r0og4m/deleted_by_user/	/r/videos/comments/r0og4m/deleted_by_user/	[ "Hearing about Tesla's tower always makes me wonder how history might have changed if he had been able to complete it. I always see people dismissing it as most likely being a hoax, but everything we know about Tesla makes that sound unlikely.\n\nClearly the part about having towers capable of transmitting information through the air has come true nearly a hundred years later. I truly wonder if, in the coming decades, someone will figure out what he meant by transmitting energy wirelessly around the world.", "I always think about this when discussions come up on and offline. He was once quoted saying\n\n>\"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena; it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.\"\n\nWe also know that he was a visual scientist, he saw everything in his mind from start to finish and if it worked in his mind then it worked in his actual creations. He said that there were no exceptions in all 20 years of him doing this, so he was clearly envisioning the wireless towers doing something with the non-physical phenomena.\n\nGiven how much scientific understanding has been gained in the last 10 years alone, especially in astronomy and understanding more about the nature of the Universe, could it be related to dark energy/matter that tesla saw in his mind? He said the towers would not only share information to the world but energy too so I can’t imagine it being anything but what we currently call dark matter/energy being harnessed in some way. We know it exists because we see its affects in space, but we cannot detect it because our technology has not advanced enough.\n\nThere’s also been fundamental understanding in resonant frequencies in everything in the universe. How sound waves dictate the character of everything. Sound waves are not physical, but they interact with everything, and certain frequencies resonate a certain way with different physical materials. Perhaps it’s something to do with this too. Ancient civilisations understood the connection with natural ambience that we in the modern age do not. This much is a given because historians and scientists alike are still non the wiser about what some of the things ancient people drew on tablets and walls of their temples. Some items look like wrist watches, others look like speakers or light bulbs but nobody can answer for sure as it’s a part of ancient life that has been lost to time.\n\nI find all this fascinating and love that these days none of this is science fiction or something people can laugh at as crazy talk any more because science is actively looking into it all and it’s becoming more and more clear every couple of years that the great minds of the past were in fact onto something.", "First of all, \"dark energy/matter\" isn't some magic producing matter, both were created to fill in the gaps of theoretical models and have nothing to do with energy generation.\n\nSecond, the late 1800's and early 1900's were a unique time when scientific theory was well ahead of physical industry and it was something of a inventors gold rush. So many new technologies and production techniques were coming out which would then help lead to even more new ideas, and the \"inventor\" was the rock star job of the era. There is no need to speculate if Tesla had foreseen undiscovered phenomena as the era was already bursting with new scientific knowledge and more was being produced all the time. Tesla's genius was that he likely could keep much of all the new knowledge all organised in is mind and view it as a whole and see how it all fit together, simulating a large R&D department all within himself.\n\nThird. Tesla likely failed in his wireless tower because he couldn't solve the problem of inefficiency of wireless energy transfer over long distances. Telsa was a smart guy, but he wasn't infallible. Tesla was right in knowing that long range wireless energy transference was possible, modern scientists have created working proof of concepts, but known methods are just too inefficient to be used for anything useful.\n\nFour. Sound is physical. It is literally just the the vibrations of the air that our *ears can detect. \"Resonant frequencies\" are just vibrations through any medium that happen to create something like a \"feed back loop\" that have an additive effect to a wave's energy, but only if the medium can't dissipate the energy in some other way (heat, light, derformation and damage, etc.).\n\nFifth. The idea of atlantean societies was a legit idea 200 years ago, as there had been a few golden ages followed by dark ages that gave the impression that past civilizations knew more than the more current ones, but that is not an idea that holds weight in modern society; The past hundred years have been the most advanced humanity has ever become in regards to science and technology. The ancient Greeks may have created the first prototype of a steam engine, and the ancient Babylonians may have created the first batteries, but it wasn't until the modern age that a hydro electric dam was created. There were no scientific theories developed in ancient times that don't already exist today, thats mostly because the scientific method didn't even exist in ancient times, the first steps in logic were just being created at the time." ]	3	videos	[deleted by user]

Improving self-care to the extent you can with the supports you have. Taking walks through a nice park, etc. This has the side effect of being actively good for you. And if you lack the will, which is plausible, because depression does that, tell your mom, your wife, your best friend, all of the above or someone else that you need a hand sticking to it.\n\n2. Buproprion, which has extremely minimal side effects.\n\n3. Escitalopram, which has fairly minimal side effects.\n\n4. Duloxetine, which has moderate side effects\n\n5. Amitriptyline, which has pretty significant side effects\n\n6. Quetiapine, which can have some very significant side effects.\n\n7. Psychedelics, which...may have no side effects, but are illegal and kind of a wildcard. \n\n8. ECT, which can have very scary side effects (but less scary than movies suggest) like losing big chunks of your memory.\n\n\nObviously there are a ton of other drugs, but that list kinda plays the hits. Most other options are in categories similar to ones listed. But...\"dope you up so much you won't know the difference\" is not a fair characterization of...any of them. Maybe antipsychotics. Not to say people definitely won't feel doped up with any of them, but that's not their goal.\n\nUnlike most of what I say on reddit, I'm not just arguing for the sake of discussion, I mention this because I wouldn't want someone who was depressed to feel like there are no good solutions and that it's not worth trying, and to just give up now. (something which they are probably biased towards...) At every level of that list is a pool of people who found the solution that got them out of the hole. You, hypothetical-as-I'm-writing, but very real reader of this comment might be one of them. Don't give up on solutions until you've made a reasonable effort to try all of them. And if you're worried about losing your memory, with the \"scariest\" side effects, consider how many memories you retain if you're dead.\n\nAre there people who try all those things and still aren't better? Yeah, some. Very rarely. But most people don't make it through the list. I can't blame them, I don't blame anyone who's depressed for giving up.

If this was instead a video where santa is a straight heterosexual male where he kisses a woman on a closeup shot, just to drive in the fact that he likes women over men and that's the whole point of the video, yes absolutely. It's stupid and gets old really quick when it is being repeated a thousand different times on different formats. \n \nIt's santa. He doesn't like fucking guys and/or girls.

If I ate them, I would literally die. Not get really sick. Not be uncomfortable. I mean actually die. Note: that doesn't mean I HAVE died in the past. I haven't, because I don't eat peanuts. \n\nI believe there would literally be riots if this aired in the U.S. Not hurt feelings. Not many angry people. Actual riots. Note: that doesn't mean there HAVE been riots.

Everyone has seen and experienced thousands of these in a completely non-sexual context.\n\nImagine the exact same advert but replace the man by a woman.

It does not have a monopoly on postal services so it is competing for customers with other services. Therefore it has to market itself just like any other company. Part of marketing is reminding people your company exists and to build positive associations.", "So much of media’s depictions of Christmas has to do with family. Usually a couple with children. Think Christmas ads, movies, tv, music. There’s a bit of romance (mommy kissing Santa) too. Which is great! Yet older folks are usually only included as extensions of the family—grandparents coming to visit, for example. It is good to be reminded that not everyone fits that mold. It’s not only widowers who can get lonely over the holidays. Men or women who for some reason or other can’t or won’t start a traditional family, for example. This was a fine celebration of love between two such older people. And what a way to mark 50 years of freedom!", "Love", "Ok, interesting. A much more long term view on marketing. Adverts where I am tend to be a lot more direct insofar as mentioning a product or service that is being sold etc. The emotional pull by using a much loved story to appeal to peoples feelings as this postal ad does is very subtle.", "It's certainly an interesting approach. Nobody can actually sell love. But if a company can appeal to peoples basic motivations and emotions then the product/service starts selling itself.", "Indeed. And that long-term, associative approach is also probably a result of the positive view people already have of the postal service. So they just need to maintain it", ">The point of the video is not that Santa is gay \n\n...\n\n>The company simply took the chance to celebrate the 50th birthday of people \n \nSo it is or it isn't about homosexuality? \n \nAgain, it isn't the message that bothers me. It's that everything is being sexualized as homosexual and it is starting to become a little annoying. \n \nI get it. Be gay. I just don't want to watch two dudes kissing and sucking lips when I am buying a coffee. I just want a damn coffee.", ">I just don't want to watch two dudes kissing and sucking lips\n\nBut you wouldn't mind seeing a heterosexual couple doing the same thing, which makes you homophobic.\n\nAnd don't tell me you would get offended seeing a man kissing a woman, because that would be ridiculous.\n\nEvery time you say things like this, people of the lgbtq+ community can feel hurt, and bigots feel justified in their thinking gays are abnormal.

But yes, give the average person 50mg and they'll be acting like a coke head. \n\nBut here's the thing, how do we know the people with ADHD aren't just tolerant of stimulants? Surely the people with ADHD have been treated in the past, so they'll have a tolerance and be able to handle larger doses than a person without adhd who probably hasn't ever taken amphetamines. \n\n\nI've been diagnosed with ADHD late in life, and I found the amount of stimulants to be too high, and I think it would have been better for me if the doctor started at 5mg or 10mg instead of jumping right to 40mg.\n\nAs I get older, Even caffeine is starting to have a stronger effect in me, and I think adults might metabolize stimulants differently, more slowly, or something like that.\n\n\nIt all feels very unfair to me that because of the stigma on stimulants, I can't test out taking the amount of stimulants I want, because doctors are so strict and sometimes demand you take drug tests to confirm you aren't taking too much or too little of the drug.

Can you focus when you’re on Adderall? Sure, but you still choose what to focus on. I was still failing classes when I was taking it.

Apparently the reason I was not diagnosed until after most of university was because I was able to compensate for distraction by being smart in other areas.\nSo the words of this video where he describes an ADHD person not studying at all and then doing alright on the test by picking it up as you go, is something I have done far too often.\nI can also personally relate to the idea of being able to focus on somethings for hours while not even 5 minutes on studies.\nOne thing that convinced me to get assessed was when I struggled to focus on things I wanted to do that weren't constant dopamine feed like prepping a D&D session, or practice an instrument.\n\nI now work a programming job and I started taking medication and it has seriously improved my focus.

ADHD is very grey, especially in adults. \n\nAnd it's what stops a lot of people from seeking treatment.

It isn't just procrastination, it's procrastination to the point that it is always an issue. It's daydreaming to the point where it is always an issue.

After reviewing one, I didn't find the specific part where he at all says \"I am anti-vaxx\" or any of the other claims they made he is. In fact, he even says \"I’m certainly by no means saying ‘Don’t take a vaccine,’ neither am I saying ‘Do take a vaccine’.\"\n\n\"But you chose to ignore their efforts to point you towards the evidence and call their assertion an empty accusation. Think about your argument here, you're saying that because they didn't provide you with a direct link, you are somehow in the right to outright reject their claim, without any effort of validation on your own part, when the evidence was exactly where they said it was.\"\n\nAs I have stated numerous times, I am neither saying he is or isn't and making any kind of claim of what he is or isn't nor am I defending Russel Brand. For fuck's sake, I don't even like him very much as an actor. I asked for specific evidence. Just giving a link to an entire YouTube page isn't really \"evidence\".

I will keep reiterating this...Russel Brand could very well be a right-wing, conspiracy believing, anti-vaxx moron, and there could be very many quotes or things he has said that support this and I would be fine to learn that. I am asking the person who made this claim to provide evidence of this.\n\n\"I think you've confused the ideas of burden of proof in science and law and taken it to mean you don't have to take any amount of responsibility for your own ignorance.\"\n\nAh, so you clearly have no understanding of what it means or how it is very much applicable here.

The fact that someone can't or won't show you any evidence of something isn't evidence of the fact that there is no evidence.\"\n\nRight, so you clearly have no understanding what it means. If someone makes a claim that smoking is bad, they bear the responsibility (burden or proof) to provide evidence that it is. You laughingly follow this up with another logical fallacy that is an argument from ignorance, which I also suggest you look up.\n\n\"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Instead, in the face of having to work for the German government, he kept the Coca-Cola plants in Germany running and various Coca-Cola men alive throughout the war.

I did it once on holiday, and I'm aware that it's one of those subjects that people can get pretty boring and sincere about, and sincerity, for we British, is no state in which to dwell, so I'll be brief. The scuba dive itself was nuministic enough, a drenched heaven; coastal shelves and their staggering, sub-aquatic architecture, like spilt cathedrals, gormless, ghostly fish gliding by like Jackson Pollock's pets. Silent miracles. What got me, though, was when I came up for air, at the end. As my head came above water after even a paltry 15 minutes in Davy Jones's Locker, there was something absurd about the surface. How we, the creatures of the land, live our lives, obliviously trundling, flat feet slapping against the dust.\n\nIt must have been a while since I've attended a fancy, glitzy event, because as soon as I got to the GQ awards I felt like something was up. The usual visual grammar was in place – a carpet in the street, people in paddocks awaiting a brush with something glamorous, blokes with earpieces, birds in frocks of colliding colours that if sighted in nature would indicate the presence of poison. I'm not trying to pass myself off as some kind of Francis of Assisi, Yusuf Islam, man of the people, but I just wasn't feeling it. I ambled into the Opera House across yet more outdoor carpets, boards bearing branding, in this case Hugo Boss, past paparazzi, and began to queue up at the line of journalists and presenters, in a slightly nicer paddock who offer up mics and say stuff like:\n\n\"Who are you wearing?\"\n\n\"I'm not wearing anyone. I went with clobber, I'm not Buffalo Bill.\"\n\nNoel Gallagher was immediately ahead of me in the press line and he's actually a mate. I mean, I love him: sometimes I forget he wrote Supersonic and played to 400,000 people at Knebworth because he's such a laugh. He laid right into me, the usual gear: \"What the fook you wearing? Does Rod Stewart know you're going through his jumble?\" I try to remain composed and give as good as I get, even though the paddock-side banter is accompanied by looming foam-tipped eavesdroppers, hanging like insidious mistletoe.\n\n\nIn case you don't know, these parties aren't like real parties. It's fabricated fun, imposed from the outside. A vision of what squares imagine cool people might do set on a spaceship. Or in Moloko. As we come out of the lift there's a bloody great long corridor flanked by gorgeous birds in black dresses, paid to be there, motionless, left hand on hip, teeth tacked to lips with scarlet glue. The intention, I suppose, is to contrive some Ian Fleming super-uterus of well fit mannequins to midwife you into the shindig, but me and my mate Matt just felt self-conscious, jigging through Robert Palmer's oestrogen passage like aspirational Morris dancers. Matt stared at their necks and I made small talk as I hot stepped towards the pre-show drinks. Now, I'm not typically immune to the allure of objectified women, but I am presently beleaguered by a nerdish, whirling dervish, and am eschewing all others. Perhaps the clarity of this elation has awakened me. A friend of mine said: \"Being in love is like discovering a concealed ballroom in a house you've long inhabited.\" I also don't drink, so these affairs where most people rinse away their Britishness and twitishness with booze are for me a face-first log flume of backslaps, chitchat, eyewash and gak.\n\nAfter a load of photos and what-not, we descend the world's longest escalator, which are called that even as they de-escalate, and in we go to the main forum, a high ceilinged hall, full of circular cloth-draped, numbered tables, a stage at the front, the letters GQ, 12-foot high in neon at the back; this aside, though, neon forever the moniker of trash, this is a posh do, in an opera house full of folk in tuxes.\n\nEverywhere you look there's someone off the telly; Stephen Fry, Pharrell, Sir Bobby Charlton, Samuel L Jackson, Rio Ferdinand, Justin Timberlake, foreign secretary William Hague and mayor of London Boris Johnson. My table is a sanctuary of sorts; Noel and his missus Sara, John Bishop and his wife Mel, my mates Matt Morgan, Mick and Gee. Noel and I are both there to get awards and decide to use our speeches to dig each other out. This makes me feel a little grounded in the unreal glare, normal.\n\nNoel's award is for being an \"icon\" and mine for being an \"oracle\". My knowledge of the classics is limited, but includes awareness that an oracle is a spiritual medium through whom prophecies from the gods were sought in ancient Greece. Thankfully, I have a sense of humour that prevents me from taking accolades of that nature on face value, or I'd've been in the tricky position of receiving the GQ award for being \"best portal to a mystical dimension\", which is a lot of pressure. Me, Matt and Noel conclude it's probably best to treat the whole event as a bit of a laugh and, as if to confirm this as the correct attitude, Boris Johnson – a man perpetually in pyjamas regardless of what he's wearing – bounds to the stage to accept the award for \"best politician\". Yes, we agree: this is definitely a joke.\n\nBoris, it seems, is taking it in this spirit, joshing beneath his ever-redeeming barnet that Labour's opposition to military action in Syria is a fey stance that he, as GQ politician of the year, would never be guilty of.\n\nMatt is momentarily focused. \"He's making light of gassed Syrian children,\" he says. We watch, slightly aghast, then return to goading Noel.\n\nBefore long, John Bishop is on stage giving me a lovely introduction, so I get up as Noel hurls down a few gauntlets, daring me to \"do my worst\".\n\nI thanked John, said the \"oracle award\" sounds like a made-up prize you'd give a fat kid on sports day – I should know, I used to get them – then that it's barmy that Hugo Boss can trade under the same name they flogged uniforms to the Nazis under and the ludicrous necessity for an event such as this one to banish such a lurid piece of information from our collective consciousness.\n\n[Read more here](https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013/sep/13/russell-brand-gq-awards-hugo-boss)", "He is still a dick", "Oh, but you deleted your comment that explicitly referred to it as such, and then replied in all caps with some insane bullshit?

I meant the $1.90 figure/definition. purchasing power is valid.\n\nYa so I think we can certainly debate whether $1.90 is what the level should be. I think there's a very good case to be made that that's way too low, and that global poverty today is far higher than it should be. All i'm saying is that compared to itself in the past, it's getting much better.\n\n> That's not how it works because it's not what I'm saying. Inequality is scaling with GDP growth. What I'm saying is that as the trend progresses, the bottom 1% sees an interest rate applied to a base of 0. For those people, there isn't a point where they are raised to $5.\n\nYa, you're certainly right when it comes to inequality. Most of the gains from growth are currently flowing to the upper centile/decile, although the pandemic is changing that to a degree. Asset prices being inflated are a little misleading - the inflation doesn't show up as rapidly in human capital because it's not liquid, but the NPV of labor has increased just as much as asset prices, arguably more.\n\n> What I'm saying is that as the trend progresses, the bottom 1% sees an interest rate applied to a base of 0.\n\nI think this framing can be a little misleading. When capital bases are 'large' in some sense it makes sense to frame them as a geometric process (i.e. multiplicative 'returns'). But when they are small, it's probably better to think of them as an arithmetic process (i.e. adding values rather than compounding them). This becomes clear of course if someone has a net worth of exactly 0 - giving them a penny would represent an infinite positive return, giving a person worth $0.01 a dollar would be a 10,000% return, etc.\n\nBut your underlying point is certainly right, it certainly appears that the people at the bottom aren't getting the gains from growth. And i'd even expand that to more like the bottom 50%, not just the bottom 1%. I think one important reason for that is globalization. If you take the percentiles of the whole world, the bottom 50% have actually done great over the past 50 years (primarily in China, but also in some other parts of Asia). It's really the bottom 50% in western developed economies who have stagnated. That is, inequality between nations has dropped precipitously, whereas inequality within nations has climbed precipitously. These two things are probably related. The wage growth that would have gone to the bottom 50% in the US and EU got exported to China.\n\nSo bringing that back around, when you're referring to the people currently worth $0 and hoping to get to $5, i'm not sure whether you're talking about the poor in developed economies (e.g. US, EU), or the poor in undeveloped economies (e.g. Banglandesh, Africa, etc.). \n\nIn the former case, the history of inequality declining seems to indicate that large exogenous shocks to capital (e.g. world wars, plagues and...pandemics) as catalysts for significant redistribution and more equitable growth. So, I think there's really pretty good reason to be hopeful about that over the next decade or two, and I think we're actually seeing very promising signs in the labor market right now. In the latter case, it's impossible to predict which country will develop next, but it does seem clear that the niche China has filled is going to need to be filled by someone else eventually as China modernizes, and hopefully that will give that country/region a chance to bootstrap itself into modernity. This process is slow as we're watching it, but the percentage of the world's population living in abject poverty has declined more in the last 150 years than probably anyone would ever have predicted in the 1800s. The progress we've made on it is truly incredible, and I don't really see much reason to think that that progress is about to stop any time soon, even if it's not happening quite as quickly as might be nice sometimes.", "Wow your an idiot.", "> your\n\nyou're 😄", "Vaccines are just the means.

There's some missing content vs previous Battlefield games, and there's some content added. This has been the case for most battlefield releases and most videogames. For example BF3 was missing the commander mode from BF2, Squad leader only spawns, multi seat aircraft, full colour maps, larger map sizes, larger squad sizes, bots etc. etc. BF2 was missing in vehicle music, vehicle pick ups with helis, boobytraps etc compared to BF:Vietnam.

It is the secret to the mypillow pillow's softness and sturdyness' and he proceeds to pull his pants down (he wasn't wearing any underwear) and hump the pillow 20 times before putting it back on the production line.\n\nI was like 'sir, this is unethical'. Mike Lindell exploded 'ITS THE SECRET TO OUR PILLOWS STURDYNESS'. I said 'couldn't we fluff the pillow with our hands' and Mike Lindell said 'THE ARMS CAN'T APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE, YOU NEED THE POWERFUL BUTTOCKS MUSCLES'.\n\nI said 'sir, I just can't do it'. Mike Lindell said 'ok, how's that working out for you?'. I said 'huh'. Mike Lindell got more specific 'how much money do you make?'. I said '8.50 an hour' . Mike Lindell said 'I MAKE MORE MONEY IN A DAY THAN YOUR ENTIRE LINEAGE WILL EVER MAKE IN AN ENTIRE GENERATION'.\n\nI was speechless.\n\nMike Lindell continued 'DO YOU WANT A BE A POOR FUCKING LOSER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, OR DO YOU WANT THE PATH FOR RESPECT, POWER, AND MONEY'.\n\nI was still speechless, but Mike Lindell could see the shame in my face. He continued 'Imagine your life if you keep making 8.50 an hour for the rest of your life. What are the consequences of that? What will happen?'\n\nMike Lindell must of seen the fear of me having no future in my face because he pounced. He commanded 'HUMP THAT PILLOW OR GO BACK TO BEING A BETA MALE POOR LOSER'.\n\nAt this point, my feelings are hurt. I didn't want to be a loser anymore. I didn't want to be poor anymore. I humped that pillow. And I humped it again.

I thought this would make Mike Lindell like me enough to promote me. I earned it. I did everything he said. How could he be wrong? He was a legit millionaire. He was the pinnacle of business success. I just needed to be patient and follow the principles of success.\n\nBut like a carrot on a stick, he kept dangling the promotion in front of me, only to take it away from me. He kept assigning me more and more pillows. Soon, I was putting in 80 hour weeks, and only getting paid for 40 of them. Soon, I wasn't even able to hump all the assigned pillows during the normal factory hours. I had to take pillows home and keep humping them after my fiance went to sleep.\n\nOne night she woke up and went to the kitchen to get some water, when she caught me pants-down, furiously humping a pillow to meet that weeks' deadline. We had a shouting match. The next day, there was an intervention, and with the help of my friends and family, they unbrainwashed me.\n\nThe next day, I told Mike I was quitting. Mike, pressed a button that locked the door behind me. Mike said 'NOBODY QUITS ON ME'. He then took his pants down and said 'ILL HUMP YA tO DEATH.

I looked it up and apparently it's an old tradition to cook dinner for your boss when he promotes you.\n\nAfter the meal, and the table was cleared he said he revealed the surprise. Instead of a promotion his wife lied on the table and lifted her skirt (she wasn't wearing any underwear) and Mike said 'These are the types of luxuries afforded for good quality humping'. Awkwardly, I complemented the scene in front of me even though I was involuntarily deeply disgusted. But Mike didn't want me to complement her, he wanted me to 'use the powerful humping muscles I developed'.\n\nMy fiance expressed her objection 'uh sir, I consider that cheating'. Mike responded 'ITS A TIME HONORED TRADITION HERE. THE BOSS IS OVERWORKED FOR DOING SO MUCH FOR HIS EMPLOYEES THAT HE NEEDS THEM TO HELP HIM IN NEGLECTED AREAS OF HIS LIFE.'\n\nHe continued 'DON'T YOU APPRECIATE EVERYTHING I DID FOR YOUR FIANCE??'\n\nMike Lindell is very confident and we were both convinced that a refusal would be a social faux pas.\n\nI pulled my pants and underwear down, but I could not get a boner.\n\nMike was hurt. 'SON, WHERE IS THE PRIDE IN YOUR COMPANY'. He said that if I had true pride in my company it would have been expressed itself in an erection.\n\nPanicked, my fiance started playing with my wiener in an attempt to get me an erection but something about the environment would not allow me to get one.\n\nImpatient, Mike Lindell came over and said 'Here, you're doing it all wrong, let me show you how to do it' and attempted to handle my wiener.\n\nThere was a struggle and I panicked and involuntarily screamed and pushed him away and he fell and hit the gravy pan and gravy spilled all over him and his expensive clothes.\n\nI will never forget the angry silence that ensued.\n\nMike always wears his heart on his sleeve, holds nothing back, and expresses his dissatisfaction in a honest and open manner and so a silent Mike was deeply unsettling.\n\nI involuntarily tried to end the silence 'Mike, I-'\n\nHe cut me off 'I'll talk to you tomorrow'. And they both left (his wife left a skid mark on the table).\n\nThe next day my worst prediction came true. He said that it wasn't working out and that I wasn't a good fit for the company. I wasn't going to receive my last paycheck (payday was the next day) because of all the damage I did, and that I needed to do a mandatory exit interview.\n\nThe 'exit interview' turned out to be rolling out his naked wife on one of those roller tables and said I needed to hump her because I owned him at least that much. I think Mike could sense I was about to run because he pressed a button that locked the door behind me, and came at me holding a needle syringe full of viagra. Somehow I did a karate kick at him in the stomach (this time voluntarily), pressed the button, and escaped with my life.\n\nMe and my fiance have been living underground in fear of Mike Lindell's agents ever since. \"", "[Jordan Klepper interviewing him](https://youtu.be/jGGR7vxq7B4) is hilarious.
