"Well it's worse than SSX 2 so...",
"There was an article about how SSX3 inspired games like Burnout Paradise and Forza Horizon. Being able to just vibe and explore between races. Played the hell out of it on Gamecube",
"Since SSX and Burnout Paradise share a DJ i believe they exist in the same universe where one side of the world is crashing cars and the other is carving slopes",
"There’s room for both of em :)",
"Tricky was better.",
"They’re both fabulous :)",
"The open feeling and the sounds make it so relaxing to play",
"Definitely.",
"Weird way of spelling Coolboarders 2",
"Haha i gotta get that for the ps1",
"The big air hills alone.",
"Try Riders Republic that just came out. Pretty fun.",
"I still have SSX tricky for PS2, but no PS2 to play it. :(",
"You misspelled Snowboard Kids for the N64...",
"I think you mean Heavy Shreddin for the NES",
"Is it just me or is this style of video unbearable and overdone? Constant cuts and shitty humour. Hard to watch. I'm getting old.",
"Coolboarders 2 and 3.",
"Big classics!",
"We all have preferences that’s what makes people rad ;)",
"I wasn’t even good at it, but loved tricky. Was like a dopamine vending machine",
"No doubt about it, Tricky was one of the most fun multiplayer games back in the day, even just taking turns setting scores was awesome.",
"I can still crank out like 1.5M on garibaldi but like no more than 500K on any other maps because I spent so much time playing it at friends' places as a kid and that was the only map they wanted to play. What a great fucking game",
"Hah sounds like me the last time i played it. albeit years ago, that first map was so fun and had so many opportunities to nick a few extra points. I used to like Tokyo alot too but it was alot harder to pull off.",
"this was one of my favorite gamecube games. I can still remember the combos on the controller even though I havent touched it in like 10 years",
"I know tricky is crazy popular but I still like 3 more. Nothing beats snowboarding the entire mountain from top to bottom",
"SSX3 was great but in my mind it doesn't beat Amped 2",
"Shut your whore mouth.",
"The vibe and jokes in this video is pretty similar to General Sam, same with the editing",
"I gotta check him out then i really enjoy that style",
"i like him hes got NakeyJakey vibes. Please come back nakeyjakey.",
"Not too old to just watch another video instead, without throwing your 2 cents in.",
"Nah, I need it open for whore things",
"1080",
"SSX 3 has got more polish, but Tricky has all the heart! I wish they would remake it.",
"He’s my biggest inspiration with the green screen haha i miss him",
"Umm Amped was far superior. SSX was cartoonish and beyond unrealistic. Cool Boarders and 1080 are better than SSX. Get outta here with your nonsense.",
"Haha i don’t mean any harm it’s just that i could capture this game only, so i gave it a controversial title :)",
"Sorry came here to only say fuck no the best snowboarding game ever was Coolboarders 2 . Game play, characters and sound track were on point game was just ahead of its time and literally still shits on latest ones",
"I am sure you can find a PS2 for sale for cheap, they made like a metric ton of them lol",
"I gotta check that out! I’m hearin so many great things about it",
"Time to bust out ssx3 again, only snowboarding game I've played but there's no way any other snowboard game tops it\n\nAlso the humor, analysis, and green screen are spot on great vid 🤙🏻",
"No. Tricky was better.",
"EA sports BIG was the shit.",
"Without a doubt the best of the series, and my favorite snowboard game as well. Come home from a long day, start at the top, and just cruise downhill with Moby for an hour, with no pressure, just DJ Atomica and some good vibes.",
"The Street games were amazing too, they need to bring BIG back",
"I get that a lot of people like Tricky better, but SSX 3 was better in my opinion because it had online multiplayer. I had so much fun playing against random strangers online. It was one of the first games that really solidified my love of online gaming.",
"Why is he not allowed to state an opinion? You could simply read another comment, without throwing your 2 cents in on his.",
"Was just gonna say, how come no one mentioned these games haha \"cooool boarders, here we go!l\"",
"Do it I promise you , will not regret it",
"From a fellow Evan: Rad video!",
"SSX Tricky was fantastic !!",
"Without SSX3 there would be no M0rrowind",
"I miss Jakey",
"Morrowind came out in 2002, SSX3 in 2003",
"Because he's being a yum yucker",
"The original SSX was the best one.",
"SSX Tricky is the best game of all time",
"Completely agreed. The arcade feel of choosing a level and diving straight in was great. I liked SSX3 but felt the open world gameplay took away from the instant dopamine Tricky provided.",
"You're doing a great job",
"I’m sure I’ll get hat for this but my favorite was AMPED",
"I have played both SSX 3 and SSX Tricky. I do prefer Tricky for a couple of reasons; \n\nPersonality, SSX Tricky has personality from the get go, the music, the quips, each character being spec'd differently and the track intro's. If you have the chance just launch both SSX3 & Tricky just get to the point of starting your first event. Even the character selection in Tricky has more character!\n\nWeight and tension, Tricky punishes you and you feel it when you make a mistake. SSX3 is very floaty and sometimes I feel like my controller inputs are a suggestion as opposed to a command. Also in Tricky when you get air, the music lowers and then BAM you hit the ground and it all comes back along with a satisfying landing sound. \n\nI can see why some people would prefer SSX 3 but after so many years of Tricky it feels lifeless, floaty and lacks attitude/punch. It's hard to describe it's like the difference between \"that was cool\" and \"FUCK YES I AM A GOD\" both were cool but only one makes you want to [\"Call your mama in the room and show her how great you are!\"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTY24O3exH8)",
"Tricky was better as a straight racing game, for sure, but SSX3 had this feel of being fresh and freeform for the time. I specifically remember the first time I played the US PlayStation Magazine demo I was blown away by how smooth everything was carving through the track. I would just lose myself for hours exploring the mountain and re-running lines I liked.",
"I totally understand, they definitely gave more life to the characters in Tricky which is a huge upside. I’m a sucker for customization and open world so 3 stuck out to me. Not to mention i was 3 when tricky came out so SSX 3 has the nostalgia factor to me haha! I love all the games for all they offer",
"Without SSX3, there would be no super Mario Bros.",
"🤯",
"I still think Tricky is a little more fun, but SSX3 is definitely great. \n\nAnybody ever play Rippin' Riders on Dreamcast?",
"> cartoonish and beyond unrealistic.\n\nYou say this as if these are bad things, but that doesn't make any sense.",
"I agree with both sides honestly haha, i was 3 when Tricky came out so SSX 3 was my first\n\nI havent but now i wanna try all these classic snowboard titles im hearin about!",
"Oh i can 100% see that, the openness of SSX3 is appealing. You can actually see the makings of SSX3 in Tricky with \"Untracked\", which is essentially an open mountain, but it does lack features and the flexibility of SSX3. \n\nI don't know if you have heard but the producer of the SSX series is planning an spiritual successor https://gamenewsplus.net/2021/04/04/ssx-tricky-creator-announces-brand-new-snowboarding-game-31993/",
"SSX 3 was the first time I realized my tastes in gaming were changing. Even though it was bigger, louder, newer, I wanted it to be Tricky. I think it was in the controls, maybe the pacing of the levels, too.",
"Thankyou so much man!",
"God I miss SSX3. I had so many hours on it. Is there any modern replacement?",
"Besides this being backwards compatible on xbox, i hear there’s nothin new that compares to ssx :(",
"On tour was my favorite, you could play as Mario, Luigi, and Peach on the gc version",
"Man's gotta eat, Mr. Lahey.",
"You mean snowboard kids",
"SSX 3 really was incredible. The original SSX was what got me to (regretfully, today) sell my Dreamcast and all my games for a PS2. My favorite map in that game was always \"Untracked\" which you unlock at the end, and SSX3 was basically just taking that concept and building the whole game around it.\n\nHaving the balance between that free mountain exploration and the excellent track design the series is known for was really, really enjoyable. At the time it felt pretty incredible to just explore the mountain as the 'open world' concept was still fresh then and being expanded into all these genres. \n\nThe open mountain in this game was awesome as well because even the free roam areas were well designed and feel like the tracks used for races. \n\nPinnacle of the series IMO - open ended gameplay, SSX excellent track design and gameplay, and killer soundtrack.\n\nGood video too OP, solid and didn't feel like a first effort.",
"Because they're an example of PS1 era games that just don't hold up. Loved it back in the day, but they were wretched games and 1080 on N64 basically obsoleted them forever.",
"Ah my favorite youtuber. Naked Jakob",
"Yoooo CrabLord",
"Emulate it, pcsx2 is the way",
"> Anybody ever play Rippin' Riders on Dreamcast?\n\nWow, I'd totally forgotten about that game. Definitely had and played it a ton.",
"What about Steep? No skill changes and costume customization usually requires buying stuff with real money, but the gameplay, ambiance, and graphics are fantastic",
"It's hard to actually determine if Tricky was a better game, or if I just enjoyed it more because it used the song \"It's Tricky\"",
"i was 12 when I was playing SSX3. i legit would play it all night long. I started playing wow when it came out and between battlegrounds i'd do runs down SSX3. I still have my old gamecube in a box somewhere with this game. prob should pull it out and play some more when i'm bored Working from home.",
"coooooOOOOOOOL **BOARDERS**!\n\nHere we go!",
"This is absolutely one of my favourite games regardless of genre. But as a snowboarding game it's without comparison. Sure, it's pretty arcadey compared to other games, but the feel is just incredible and the controls amazing.",
"I had it on PS2 and it made me love Bonobo's music.",
"I loved Coolboarders and also the Amped series on the OG Xbox. Those games were so fun.",
"Without 2003, there would be no 2002.",
"Played both, honestly I felt ssx3 was all around a better game. They really dialed in a few things that tricky lacked.",
"I'm not going to give you my hat, but I loved this game.",
"SSX tricky hands down but cool boarders 2001 was good as well.",
"Can this dude finish a single sentence without a jump cut making his speech sound stilted?",
"This guy is just trying to be that fitness ball guy but not doing a particularly good job",
"Nakey Jakey inspired the green screen forsure but i’ve always been this exact way :)",
"Cool video my dude :\\] You've got a subscriber!",
"Are lots of the mountains named from the coastal range in bc?",
"SSX soundtracks were the bomb. I was heavily into underground hip-hop around that time and it was mind-blowing seeing fairly unknown(to mainstream music listeners) artists on a big title soundtrack.",
"R-R-R-ozel",
"Dark Summit was my go to boarding game. The best out there? Doubtful, but goddamn did my buddy and I play the hell out of it and love every minute.",
"steep is better",
"Dark Summit i gotta try that out! I’ve been hearing about so many others im takin notes haha",
"Yeah man so many tracks i would’ve never learned about if i never played this",
"Thankyou man! :)",
"I’ve never written a scripted video before so I definitely stuttered a lot and had to salvage haha",
"I’m hearin so many good things about Cool boarders i’m orderin it forsure!",
"Yeah i’m just a normie was too young to play the actual classics. But now i’m intrigued to catch up!",
"I was 6 when this came out and i forget how i even got it haha. But its compatible on xbox now so i got to relive it!",
"I’m just exaggerating a bit haha i gotta check Steep out forsure! :)",
"Whatup daddio",
"Hahaha yea Nakey Jakey inspired my greenscreen!",
"Haha yeah I figured. This video made me want to check out the game for sure though. But most things you mentioned are present in steep and the graphics are sweet. Definitely recommend checking it out. It's super fun",
"That would be not very many PS2s...",
"Thanks man yeah i totally agree with you. I’m biased bc it was my first ssx but I appreciate that!!",
"Fun video! I fucking loved SSX 3, and Tricky. I go back and forth on which one I like more, Tricky had the attitude, while SSX 3 really captured the feel and freeness of snowboarding imo. Do a video on nba street volume 2 next.",
"I think you mean M&Ms cart racing",
"Hell yeah man i forgot about how cool that was!",
"Amped 2 was better. Doing 6 backflips and a 1440 isnt realistic.",
"Haha yes man totally! And NBA street too was so fun with stretch i’m definitely doin a vid thankyou",
"I gotta check Amped out! But btw i literally just did 6 backflips in real life right now",
"Agreed!",
"*SSX Tricky has entered the chat*",
"For sure man! Keep it up!",
"Next vid “Why SSX Tricky is better than SSX 3” 😂",
"1080 is the only snowboarding game ive played where the sense of weight, the way you carve the snow, landing jumps, all feels really good. it's a great spot in between a sim and arcade game, similar to sega rally.\n\nSSX was fun, but I still go back and play 1080 because no other snowboarding game has the same feel",
"I got a PS2 and no Tricky.",
"First game I download every time I get a new system. Just got it on my Series S.",
"It looks amazing on the new xbox’s sooooo worth it!",
"Ahh yes. The reason all my fricking n64 controller sticks are completely fucked. Best snowboard game for sure. Penguin board ftw!",
"what happened to him?",
"It's tricky to rock around to rock around it's right on time it's trickaaaay",
"Same sir but you're filling that NakeyJakey hole. I've subbed :)",
"Yeah, that first time Run-DMC kicked in, I was hooked.",
"Me and my brother would fight as siblings do. One day he got both my SSX discs and chucked them out the window. I cherished those games so much, he knew that would break me. Then a UFC event happened in that room lol",
"Yo I literally just subbed and commented on your channel. I didn't realize you were the uploader of the video lol. Great work man!",
"I disagree.",
"It’s not because SSX tricky is?",
"Ok i agree u win",
"Thankyou so much man! I’ll head there right now to meet ya 🤙",
"Thankyou sir ❤️🤝",
"Ok all SSX games are the best can we all admit hahah",
"Just got a PS2 and still had SSX 3 from when I was younger. I’m having a blast. I’m missing my fifa street 2 disc tho if anyone has an extra! Lol",
"Its wild how we lost games as we grew up, i wish I would’ve cared more because now i’m a collector of them!!",
"Great stuff man; gonna go play the SSX on game pass now. Loved the green screen and sound effects.",
"this was a well made video, subscribed.",
"I heard of this magic thing called an emulator and it’s completely free!",
"Bro SSX Tricky was my LIFE. I remember playing that game for countless hours trying to max out every character with every costume and board. The soundtrack was amazing too",
"Bro I literally thought you WERE nakey jakey, watched the entire video, and then looked at your channel and thought, weird must be his alt channel. Still really enjoyed it",
"Thankyou man! It’s definitely worth playing especially on the new xbox :)",
"Thankyou man 🤝",
"Hahah thankyou that means a lot, this makes me excited to keep gettin better at this :)",
"SSX 2012 was a much better game IMO",
"Gtfo Amped 2 is the best snowboarding game ever.",
"damn... why am I crying?",
" I love for SSX: On Tour here? As a skiier I was so excited to see that they added that to the game",
"Seems like OP is here commenting on stuff, nice work dude, good video.",
"Calling this a snowboard game is an insult to snowboarding.",
"This is the correct answer.",
"this felt like JakeyNakey old videos.\nand i really enjoyed it! Sweet, funny, to the point",
"Although heavily unrealistic, we can agree there are snowboards",
"They have skiis whaaaaaat? As a skier, I gotta play that",
"Thankyou man i appreciate that!",
"Hey we can cry together 🤝",
"I gotta try out amped it sounds hype!",
"I loved it so much, they just had to do better with customization in my opinion. Other than that it was beautiful",
"I agree. Maybe we'll get a re release.",
"Agreed. But it is not a snowboarding game. In my opinion.",
"Great video. Also idk if it was just for the joke but it doesn't matter which side your skis are on",
"Thankyou that means a lot!",
"Thankyoy! The ski shop actually put L and R stickers on, but i know so it is mainly for the joke lol",
"I'm pretty sure I cried when I finally unlocked the final map. Was it like \"freestyle\" it something? It took me forever when I was younger, the relief just overcame me I guess.",
"No wonder I loved both those games and their soundtracks",
"I use the game cube dolphin emulator to play tricky every week.",
"Lost interest at “free to play live service”",
"Tricky had unbelievably good level design, and taking shortcuts felt much more special since you'd have Rahzel (the DJ) do a different freaky voice depending on how hard the shortcut was. \n\nBUT, SSX 3 controlled so much better. To me, it's ultimately more fun for that reason.",
"Tricky was the first PS2 game I got (20 years ago this Xmas...wtf). Recently hooked my PS2 up again and been playing it like crazy. It still holds up so well. Surely due a remake or HD version at least.",
"I can remember playing SSX, Tricky and SSX3. Most memorable was competing with my brother about who could get the highest score in SSX 3. You can jerk one of the analogue sticks back and forward on a rail and build up insane combo numbers. When we realized that, the game changed completely. Good times, good times.",
"That golden snowboarder man",
"Maaaannnn. I rented this from Blockbuster so many times. Nancy for the Tricks and tommy for the speed.",
"\"Hi EA Games here. We are proud to announce the return of SSX Remaster. You totally won't be disappointed.\"\n\nI guess wanting SSX coming back could be a monkey's paw wish.",
"First game I ever completed fully. Still one of my favorites of all time.",
"https://youtu.be/TrSNYGCtNLw",
"Very much nakeyjakey vibes, I miss that guy, havent seen a new vid in some time now, hope hes doing alright.\nThis guys vid is ace too though.",
"People don't like negative opinions on things as much I've noticed.",
"oh man those half pipe combo's... loved that game",
"I really loved how you can just go down the whole mountain! Weird how there hasn't been an ssx4",
"SSX3 is available for Xbox on the market place. Best snowboarding game ever period.",
"The proper statement should be ‘without SSX there would need no Morrowind’ … SSX came out on launch day with the PS2 back in 2000.",
"While on the topic of PS2 emulation, there is a new PS2 emulator for Android, attach a controller and enjoy PS2 games on the go now. Shits bonkers.",
"Sometimes I would spend hours just going down the slope you get dropped off from the helicopter. Beautiful game. Probably the best sports game I’ve ever played.",
"Pipedream! Had to get gold in showoff on Alaska for it. Took weeks of attempts as a kid to pull it off!",
"Tricky was literally the only game I've ever been good at and I still have no idea why to this day. Literally terrible at everything else.",
"I've played them all, and SSX On Tour is the best one IMO. Endless replayability due to the ranking system, enormous map, great playlist and a fantastic cartoony graphics style. It really captures the skier/snowboarder bum aesthetic so well.",
"https://youtu.be/TTFhxgSGXrc",
"I think maybe just garibaldi, the maps are all over the world",
"Amped was way better",
"He's not wrong but that's an annoying video.",
"It's a bad thing. SSX is a garbage racing game. It's not what snowboarding represents.",
"It’s tricky",
"It's sad looking back seeing how full games were with the amount of customization options that were just there as basic features. Now all that stuff is striped away and sold back in the form of loot boxes or just buy from the in game store with real money.",
"Ssx tricky and burnout 3 are the undeniable best in their genres tho",
"Loved Tricky sooo much. Dope soundtrack ridiculous stunts, fun characters, so much shit to unlock. I fear a remake would put 80% of the game behind microtransactions and ruin the fun.",
"The SSX series was fantastic, but I think for me the most groundbreaking was Amped. And most recently, Infinite Air (Mark McMorris) has satisfied my itch in the offseason. It can get a little bit ridiculous at times.",
"Post on Patreon from April says he's taking a break for a bit... but damn it's been over a year since last upload :(",
"Cool Boarders 2 is by far my vote for best snowboarding game ever!",
"Well that’s just crazy talk.",
"Amped is the correct answer. Brilliant game and loads of fun finding the snowmen.",
"Over here acting like snowboarding kids wasn't a thing",
"Untracked?",
"Does anyone know what happened to him?",
"The radio and DJ were also amazing",
"\\> move to NYC\n\n\\> get GF\n\n\\> live your damn life\n\ni can't blame him.",
"Everyone knows SSX TRicky was the best.",
"\\> previous video income no longer pays enough to live in NYC with a GF and live your damn life\n\n\\> make new videos because that's how you were able to move to NYC and get a GF and live your damn life\n\nlol. \n\nnot saying that's the case here. i have no idea about his personal life, i just clicked his social media links for the most recent posts.",
"Quite literally SSX be the best snowboarding game is the real crazy talk. Glad you enjoy it but there are so many better games out there.",
"i think hes just taking a [break](https://youtu.be/0bpIkedx-fQ?t=440)",
"Burnout Paradise is the best racing game ever and I'll die on that hill",
"You have my Krieger PCPD special, brother.",
"It's one of the best games I've ever played. Absolute top 5 for how great it made you feel playing it.",
"I'd really try to find your own way of editing. It's identical and pretty distracting for me at least."

"I thought the machine was actually quite interesting.",
"Yeah, leave it alone! It has it rough enough already being entombed an all.",
"Bo'ring!",
"Rip old chuggy 😢",
"The Whitewicks make surprisingly interesting videos strolling around the British countryside talking about industrial history (mostly railways & canals).",
"Given that the first tunnel under the Hudson River, which is only 1.5 miles wide, was finished in 1908, that plan seemed a bit overambitious.",
"I'm sure it did at the time but surely not looking back at it now.. The technology and know-how was well proofed and known about. The only big deal was that it was over such a long distance The were plenty of examples of it working under shorter distanced bodies of water. Thames Tunnel comes to mind as one. It was also a sign of the times. People were very ambitious then in regards to projects like this.",
"There are also 3 from the 1990s",
"I think he deserved his punishment. Don't you?",
"The topic is interesting, but the shots - walking towards the camera, walking away from the camera - get quite repetitive after a while.",
"Many times machines are buried beneath the tunnels. It's simply cheaper to do it that way than extract it."

"I miss Phil Hartman 🥺",
"Stu is happy",
"Reminds me of this scene in Buffy, with Cordelia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUaCOHpNrTY",
"For anyone who doesn't know that is four time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana.",
"You know you’re a good athlete when Hayne’s asks you to sling underwear after you’ve retired. That’s a job that only the GOATs get.",
"Sure, when Joe Montana does it, it's funny. When I do it at a Wendy's it's a \"felony.\"",
"Phil Hartman and Bryan Cranston could've played brothers",
"The rare SNL sketch with more than one joke.",
"How is that funny to anyone?",
"Comedy is super subjective. \n\nThat said, I think it has a Space Ghost / Harvey Birdman vibe to it. Whoever wrote that leaned into the fact that Montana lacks sophistication or depth on stage. I think it’s easily a GOAT skit.",
"Goat indeed. Comedy is subjective.. but could you maybe explain to me what you found funny in this skit?",
"Guy with no performance depth to him also has no mental depth to him.",
"\nAlso thought it was a funny skit, especially given SNL misses a lot (justifiably). \n\nFirst the skit sets the environment of the joke (young adults getting back from a date night) the and the concept to it (their true thoughts in their head vs what they say). \nBut first big laugh joke is the roommate just saying what he means. The other two are having that relatable dance around their intentions (because they want to get it on) and this dude is simple and chill. \nDraws on a bit (i find snl skits usually do because they have to fill a time slot) but then ends on another big laugh when he says he won’t be bothered, he’s just jerking off. Just a blunt truth that you are not supposed to say. And if you can’t relate to retiring for your room from a roommate and his date to jerk off before bed (super relatable) then you probably won’t find it funny. \n\nHumor is subjective for sure though. There’s intent when a joke is written and if you aren’t for it then you won’t like it",
"Thank you for that explanation. I watched this skit few times to find anything funny about it. I understand that things you mentioned could be funny for some people but I find it just as regular sarcasm and irony that I see exposed in better ways every day.\n\nIt is really weird when subjective situations are perceived in such different way.",
"The idea is really funny but execution is needlessly prolonged and repeating the same joke over and over is just boring.",
"*How is that funny to anyone?*, they thought.",
"Disagree, that was well executed, and it was funny",
"I have a hard time watching Phil Hartman clips as his death still hits me in the pit of my gut. His humor and mannerisms were so ingrained into mine back in the day it was like a part of me died too.",
"And Jan Hooks. Who also passed away much too soon.",
"You watched a skit a few times, that you didn't find funny? That is funny.",
"Why don't you watch a Robin Williams movie to take your mind off of him, reruns of the Crocodile Hunter or some Norm McDonald standup?",

"He cares at the very least a little, because he said he could care less.",
"That was my entire take away too. I muttered to myself \"*couldn't* care less\" as I closed the video.",
"Fuck all of these nosey people. If this homeowner wants to bask in glorious capitalism, then who is to stop them?",
"Great setting for a dystopian story (à la Love Death Robots)",
"This is how you know you live in a really good area. Anywhere else and porch pirates would have picked that yard clean.",
"I recall an episode of electric dreams covering something like this.",
"I have a feeling these folks are the victims of a credit card fraud scheme of some sort. Their story doesn't make any sense at all.",
"Sounds like some kind of drop shipping program gone wrong.",
"They explain it in the video, though I don't fully understand it.\n\nThey have a friend who has a contract with amazon... and for some reason that contact expires they send the packages to this house, and they sort through the stuff to send to China for re-sale?\n\nYeah, I thought I understood, but I don't",
"Yes I caught that part, which is why I'm speculating that they are the victims of a fraud scheme. A simple example would be someone gets catfished and the perpetrator gains their trust. The perpetrator then orders goods with a stolen credit card and ships to the victim. The victim is then asked to ship the packages elsewhere, often overseas to the perpetrator where the perp then sells the goods for cash.\n\nIF this is the case, however, it's pretty surprising that no one has caught on with the amount of packages, so I don't know.",
"Clould be that someone from China makes a legitimate purchase just so they can write a verified review. If most of those boxes were junky products, it would make sense that no one would bother stealing them.",
"When you sell with Amazon you package and send it to an Amazon warehouse. Why things say sold by XYZ but fulfilled by Amazon.\n\nLikely shipping tons of crap from China using this person's address so it shows they are selling from the US.\n\nContract drops, Amazon returns all the goods back to the \"seller's\" address.",
"Me. I will personally stop them.",
"Not sure if this is some type of new Onion news or just fucked up reality. Either way... It is fucked up that any reporters would make any \"news\" out of that. Let them be. But also... Go on and check on the health of that person first.",
"That seems very plausible.",
"Can guarantee they'll be picking at it now with all this media coverage lol",
"Yea I ain’t watching this. Im a mailman in a rural area and probably deliver close to 200 Amazon packages daily on my route. Watching this will give me PTSD lol",
"Sounds like a man in the middle scam. They get offered money to purchase certain products or goods to then forward to others",
"For stranded FBA units Amazon would either destroy the inventory or send back the items in complete casepacks, not individually packaged deliveries. Someone is up to something fishier.",
"I'm almost with you, except what was mentioned in the video: These \"neighbors\" are harming the re-sale value on all of the other homes in the neighborhood. Effectively preventing people from moving away. And for what?",
"The only way not to care at least a little about something is to be unaware of its existence in the first place.",
"Not always. Used to be a seller on Amazon with a fairly large inventory in FBA for awhile and had a product sku taken off. I was receiving both cases and single boxes at my warehouse for months. Some days it was a single item other days it would be 10+ cases, at one point they sent a single item on a pallet for some reason. It’s all due to how they balance your products across FBA centres.",
"Ah gotcha, at our warehouse we never get individual boxes sent back unless it’s customer returns",
"What a surprise, the guy with half his teeth \"could care less\".",
"This is almost assuredly a shellback scam of some kind gotten out of hand. (Note that they said some of the packages are empty)\n\nThey likely have never met this \"freind\", pay for these packages and don't know what to do with them so they just leave them outside without looking at them.",
"Now I want a warehouse.",
"Nah. You knew exactly what he meant. Everyone always knows, and complains about it anyway.",
"Sounds like how I ended up with a free $300 ice machine that I never ordered.",
"Thank you for your service!",
"I’ll take it off your hands if you want,…",
"Money Laundering perhaps🧐",
"in many places you must maintain a certain image of your place or the city can do something about it. And nosey? its nosey if they wana see whats inside the house, these boxes are on display fool",
"These yokels don't live in an HOA or a city, sucks to have trashy neighbors but it's their property, they can do what they want with it. I think it's hilarious.",
"id post it online everywhere and happen to mention in so run down bars how easy it is to get quick money robbing my neighbours cuz they wouldnt even notice. or id handle it myself with a roller or excavator, oops sorry didnt see the boxes....",
"Yes, I'm surprised that a random craigslist posting about 'free Christmas gifts, come pick them up' or a anon Salvation Army donation call hasn't taken place."

"Wilt's probably the strongest man to ever play in the NBA. Stories of his strength are pretty legendary. Picking up full grown NBA players by one arm up and over railings kinda stuff. Maxed out all the machines in Arnold's portal gym in Conan the Destroyer (which Arnold couldnt do). Could leap and take quarters off the top of the backboard.",

"Join a MMA gym. Believe me you will be picked up and put down, it will be involuntary nonetheless.",
"Yeah Arnold talks about him coming to the gym and just racking up the full stack on the machine and repping endlessly. In the pic with him, Arnold, and Andre you can see Wilt just has such long limbs that give him great leverage that translates into crazy strength.",
"You sure? I'm pretty sure he's the guy in the middle, but I'll take your word for it.",
"I think it was Bill Russell who used to tell a story about how he once went up for a rebound, was coming down with it, and suddenly the ball stopped going down and just went right back up and through the hoop without him ever letting go of it. Wilt had grabbed the rebound while he was coming down, and just went right back and dunked it with Bill Russell still hanging onto the ball.",

"We should follow Germany's restrictions and enact a lockdown for unvaccinated people. The idiots in this country are allowing for the virus to easily mutate. \n\nShit, just the other day I was reading about how if you have a bad reaction if you contract covid, your odds of dying due to other causes (which become exacerbated by the covid virus) within the following year increase by about 260% *for those under 65*.\n\nGet the vaccine if you haven't already, otherwise *you're the sheep*.",
"Been a while since I’ve seen SP, but is Stan middle aged now?..",
"Germany is like half the size of Texas. Stringent restrictions and lockdowns aren't really feasible in most of the US.",
"Germany has 80 million people. Geographic size isn’t that important in this scenario.",
"It seems like South Park is only doing bi-annual TV specials/movies now, so this recent Post-Covid special takes place after a multi-decade timeskip after the Vaccination special from earlier this year.",
"I never thought I'd see the day when a majority of people would celebrate and welcome with open arms increased government power and autoritarian legislation and restrictions on freedoms like this. \n\nAre people stupid for not taking the vaccine? Sure. \n\nShould you open your arms to increased government reach and authoritarian views because of it? Hell no. \n\nFirst of all the vaccine merely protects YOU from getting seriously sick from the virus. You can still contract is as easily, and you can spread it as easily. Particularly this new strain from SA (which seems to have less sideeffects, thank god) So what's the deal?\n\nAlso, would you be willing to impose such lockdowns on a majority of the rest of the world? Because most rich countries ran off with like 90% of the vaccines and left the rest of the world to suffer with little to no vaccines. Mostly because the rich part of the world fucked those countries up for centuries in order to extract resources from them and then up and left at some point.\n\nPeople like you scare me more than unvaccinated people. No honestly, I don't think you fully understand the ramifications of what you're suggesting.",
"Population distribution is pretty significant when it comes to enforcing lockdowns.",
"Paramount streaming purchased something like 10 South Park specials to be made. The recent one has all the kids grown up and dealing with covid.",
"IT: Chapter 2 vibes.",
"That’s a good point, band suppose that’s why larger urban areas are having so much luck with the vaccine passports.\n\nBut conspiring germanys footprint to Texas’s is bananas..",
"I’m vaccinated and wear my mask every day, but I’ll always support others’ right to choose their own path.\n\nNone of these people ever stop to realize that nearly every time we give up a small piece of personal freedom we won’t get it back without a fight. That shit adds up over time.",
"> The idiots in this country are allowing for the virus to easily mutate. \n\nRemind me again where the most recent variant came from.",
"Fuck off psycho.\n\nAnyone reading this. Make sure to report and tag people like this. There's far too many fucked up people out there commenting about murder. It's important to call them out on their shit right then and there.",
"the omicron variant has 50 mutations, 32 of which occur on the spike protein. it spreads easily through vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, which will result in additional mutations. a lockdown for only the unvaccinated accomplishes nothing. we need a full lockdown again to slow the spread.\n\nas an aside, since people don't seem to understand this, you cannot eliminate a respiratory virus with animal reservoirs through vaccines. the goal of vaccines is to slow the spread to alleviate pressure on local ICUs. omicron will spread, and covid will continue to mutate in both the unvaccinated and the (out-of-date) vaccinated. throw all the \"idiots\" you want on a desert island, but these facts remain true.",
"LOL, how is it \"murder\" exactly, dumbass? That would be like saying lockdowns are false imprisonment. Hello -- you do understand it's not murder when the government says it's okay. Do you even understand how democracy works? You sound like an antivaxxer who needs to be reeducated very seriously. Go drink more of the Trump Kool Aid",
"What the fuck are you saying?\n\nYou literally said people should be allowed to enter other peoples homes, and to kill them. That “patriots like you” would be happy to do that. That they should lose all of their rights.\n\nThat is NOT democracy, and I’m not sure you understand what it is.\n\nYou seriously need some fucking help. This might be the most fucked up comment I’ve ever read on here.",
"I'm saying if people just vote to allow that, it's okay, including killing people. Voting makes everything okay, automatically. That's democracy. Pay attention, Trumptard, I know democracy is hard to understand. Antivaxxers like you are putting everyone's lives at risk and then you want to act like drastic measures are wrong. Anyone who challenges the experts or goes against the Science should lose all rights -- NEVER challenge the Science. Next you're going to tell me you oppose lockdowns because they're \"taking people's rights.\" You're clearly a fascist and need serious help.",
"Fuck off. \n\nYou cannot \"vote to allow murder\". The concept is fucked up, and it's a basic human right.\n\nI'm vaccinated. I think people should get vaccinated. I voted against Trump.\n\nI am not ok with encouraging people to literally enter the homes of others and murdering them, such as you are.\n\nDo you understand what the basic principle of science is? It's to challenge, and question things. There's a rigid process to this. You fall into that category of people that are so dumb, they don't realize just how dumb they are. \n\nFuck. You.",
"I hope so. I watched a series the other night though on a kidnapper who killed/raped a lot of people, and then said very similar things to think online. Most people just rolled their eyes that they were trolling.\n\nI'm halfway between he's just trolling, or he actually believe this stuff. The more he's replied, the more I'm leaning toward the later.",
"> You cannot \"vote to allow murder\". The concept is fucked up, and it's a basic human right.\n\nUm, what? Do you even think about what you're saying for one second? If you vote to allow ANYTHING, it's backed up by murder. Period. If you vote to allow people to pay taxes, guess what happens if they refuse to pay taxes -- you got it, Trumptard, they will be killed! You really think all these people would just be going along happily with the law if the threat of being killed wasn't behind it? Why do you think the police have guns, genius? Just for fun? LOL, you need to stop drinking the Republican Kool Aid, it's sad.\n\n> I am not ok with encouraging people to literally enter the homes of others and murdering them, such as you are.\n\nUm, so you oppose the police defending themselves when serving arrest warrants into people's homes? Helloooooooooo, do you even think about what you're saying? Antivaxxers like you are TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE, it makes sense that antivaxxers need to be killed before they kill us all. Voting for that is OBVIOUS.\n\n> Do you understand what the basic principle of science is? It's to challenge, and question things.\n\nDo you realize that 99.99% of all EXPERTS agree that antivaxxers are idiots and are killing millions of people even as we speak? A basic principle of science is YOU TRUST THE SCIENCE. Listen to the government experts, like Dr. Fauci and President Biden. But no, you always have some excuse about \"challenge and question.\" PEOPLE ARE DYING. If it saves one life, it's worth killing as many people as necessary. This is not hard.\n\n> You fall into that category of people that are so dumb, they don't realize just how dumb they are. \n\nAt least I'm not an anti-science, anti-government, anti-vax, Trump dick sucker fascist like you, who is literally murdering hundreds of people by IGNORING THE SCIENCE!",
"He seems to be the opposite side of the spectrum though. He thinks if you're not vaccinated, they should be murdered in their house. He called me a \"trumptard\" for suggesting murder isn't good.",
"LOL. you are a great troll. I thought you were serious for a second. My bad.",
"Interesting...",
"Well, if you really are interested...\n\nSouth Africa has one of the best 'Genomic Surveillance' systems and labs in the world. They frequently are the first detect variants in many diseases, but also Covid for obvious reasons. It in no way suggests where the variant originated. England also has a very good one. \n\nIt's going to take a lot genomic forensic work to narrow down where these variants truly originated, and that very well may be impossible. But just because it was first detected in South Africa, doesn't mean it was from there. Like, you are never going to hear of a new variant first detected in any country without very high end genomic testing equipment. Turkmenistan isn't going to detect a new variant first, but South Africa, the UK, France, Germany, the US, China, Japan, India, Australia or Russia might."

"Idk, it seems pretty obvious to be a house of cards from like the 2nd email.",
"Yeah, any semi-experienced, skeptical artist would have noped out at that point, as did the maker of the video. Even *my* first thought, before he got to the 2nd e-mail, was \"I bet he didn't contact, I dunno, Drake...\". Basically, like most scams it targets the vulnerable, in this case the independent, minor, upstart artists, not the wise, monied, established giants who a) know better, b) have better agents and lawyers.",

"Lmao, I was kinda thinking 'Okay, maybe this isn't really a scam though. Just a bad deal..' until he showed that 460 odd artists wrote 2120 songs for the book lmao. \n\nTotal fucking grifter, and definitely a scam.",
"It is 100% legal because the musicians signed that contract. Morally it's an absolute asshole move and exploitation of the artists of course. Glad this video got made because such methods of misleading and fake promises need to be exposed.",
"And then you get to the bombshell that the music publisher is RUN BY HIS WIFE?!?!",

I go look at his history, and all he fucking does is remove shit once every couple years and then spend days and days fighting on the talk page about how the page should not be on Wikipedia.

Astounds me.\n\nThe list of ship names now only appears to be hosted on a for-profit website that serves as a wiki for the *Culture* series and is making somebody quite a pretty penny.\n\n\n-------\n\n\"Wikipedia is not a place for lists of things,\" they say, and this admin in disguise Leaxe claims book nerds cannot properly format a page. Okay, well here's the [List of Fictional Spacecraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_spacecraft) page, a nonsense article that is simply a list of spaceships users found to be notable from books, video games, movies, comics, and magazines.\n\nClassic wikipedia, this is why you guys don't get donations. Otaku admins into niche video game culture delete well-formatted and oft-cited pages from beloved book series while random shit slapped together is merged into a childlike pastiche of science fiction design spanning a dozen mediums across a hundred years of fiction and is upheld as notable.",

The page was deleted by an admin following a unanimous discussion, and the user who proposed deletion wasn't even an admin. I would highly recommend reading the reasons for deletion on that page, and the [FAQ on the admin's page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sgeureka). Wikipedia has an excellent standard of quality that keeps it reliable. if non-notable fan pages find a home on Wikipedia, then the quality drops dramatically (simply look at fan-run wiki sites). It was also tagged with [issues that weren't solved for 4 years](https://web.archive.org/web/20191206005457/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series). It's sad to me how often I see FUD thrown around by people who don't involve themselves in or even learn about the Wikipedia editing process.\n\nI'm genuinely sorry you now need to use fandom (it is absolutely terrible and second only to fextralife), but it's pretty silly to assume your interest deserves free hosting from Wikipedia. If you want a better wiki experience, look into [hosting your own MediaWiki](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide)!",

Why must it be typed down?",
"I thought your response was funny at first but it genuinely makes me sad that people distrust Wikipedia like this. I hope you can look into Wikipedia editing and change your perspective, maybe even contribute.",
"You're so full of shit dude, your own link shows that the guy who transcribed the article to a for profit wiki is a self proclaimed otaku and Mensa member. You're so deep in the grift you really think people aren't going to see that and second guess it? No wonder people don't like the users operating Wikipedia.\n\nI assure you I want absolutely nothing to do with anybody who can claim to moderate the website.",
"Haha that is seriously grasping for straws. I'm not trying to defend the users but the process. And the reality is, nobody else cares about your little fandom, especially if you can't properly put together a Wikipedia page. Stop throwing a tantrum because you aren't getting handouts.",
"A signed contact can absolutely be 100% illegal.\n\nhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fraudulent_misrepresentation",

"good think google is using wikipedia to display data on their front page then",
"lmao this is all a scam for gullible people\n\nkidnapped in libya LMAO people eat this shit up\n\nso obvious",
"So from what I can tell, the user Piotrus has not been an admin for over a decade, and is a fan of The Culture (having made edits to that very page in [2006](https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=piotrus&page=User%3AWinter%27s_Tulpa%2FList_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series&server=enwiki&max=), and multiple to the page for [Iain Banks](https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=piotrus&page=Iain_Banks&max=500&server=enwiki)). That does raise the question, why would Piotrus want to delete so many pages related to The Culture? I don't know the reason, but I don't think it's because they're an asshole, it's more likely just because the community is more able to thrive on the fandom page without having to worry about following Wikipedia's rules on notability or verifiability. Which to me are clearly the reasons that page was deleted.",

"More comicsgate trash? There are basic major reasons Manga is outselling American comics that the anti-woke crowd are too moronic to parse out, and zero of them involve comics being too woke.",
"I'd say the nature of the comics and their price are the reason they're dying. If you stick with one or two series, it's affordable, but these days, both DC and Marvel's storylines intersect with other series and so that $4/comic price point suddenly balloons up. I remember getting back into comics when the first Civil War came out and it was all hands on deck. You couldn't just read one line to get the full story. You had to get *everyone*'s arc to fully get the nuances of the event. \n\nMarvel's push to get rid of and replace all the classic heroes a few years ago definitely pissed off and scared away fans, but I think the fact that it's a hellz expensive hobby does way more damage to their sales.",
"Comics are dying for the same reason piracy of comics is booming right now, accessibility is shit. There are no official channels where you can go to get your comic fix online, meanwhile in the land of piracy, hundreds of websites exist hosting pirated comics with ad banners, which means they're all making a profit from North American comics and their inability to adapt to the modern age.",
"Comixology? DC Universe Infinite? Marvel Unlimited?",
"Comixology requires a paid account, DC Universe is only available in the USA and requires a paid account, and Marvel Unlimited requires a paid account.\n\nIf piracy sites can turn a profit from hosting the material for free, so can the official publishers. People will still want to own physical copies.",
"You didn't say anything about *free*, you said there were no official channels, I corrected you, you moved the goalposts. Predictable.",
"I didn't move the goal posts, I said this was an accessibility issue. \n\nBesides, the point remains: if hundreds of piracy websites can turn profits hosting pirated comics, then the official creators can do the same. It'll have zero effect on the people who were already pirating the comics if they move from a pirated site to an official one, because those are the people who were going to pirate it anyways.\n\nThe fans who want physical copies and toys and posters and everything else will still exist, and they make up the vast majority of comic book profits.\n\nThe only people DC and Marvel are hurting by putting their content behind paywalls is ironically, themselves."

"Come on dad get your shit together",
"Been there, done that. Unless I can see both my girls faces it can be hard when in hurry. But love the little girl's reaction.",
"Ive seen this one so many times and it never gets old, its just adorable.",
"The baby is saying \"no, charlie\" not daddy.\n\nDownvote me all you like, but the kid is saying no, Charlie and pointing to Charlie and then saying harper and pointing to herself. If you don't think that's what's happening then you obviously don't speak baby.",
"The stumbling run, the \"Oh, no, daddy! Daddy, Harper, daddy!\" and the uh-huh when daddy finally gets it... she's working so hard.",
"Harper also making her father realize to put the blame where it belongs.",
"You’re right, but you’re weirdly kinda hostile about it",
"My edit was supposed to be a bit of a joke but I suppose it got lost in text 🙃",
"Forgive me [Charlie Harper wherever you are](https://youtu.be/wgpzEsPhvC4?t=18).",
"That is absolutely adorable.",
"She’s not about to take the fall for her sisters shit.",
"Yeah her little nod showing she’s glad she’s understood does it for me. Adorable",
"Harper has a Romanian accent.",
"What a little CUTIE!!!",
"Yep def..Harper, Charlie, Harper, Charlie- she's even pointing back and forth between them.",
"This is too cute haha :)",
"But does that make it “fake”?",
"Never says \"Daddy\". It's clearly \"Charlie\" as she points back and forth. Watched it twice and the first time it does SEEM like she says \"Daddy\" considering that's what is written on the screen, but it felt off so listened again and you can hear a kinda garbled \"Ch\" at the beginning of each of those \"Daddy\" words.\n\nOf course I came to the comments after and noticed someone at the bottom also mentioning the same thing.",
"Dad’s reaction says that this isn’t the first time.\n\nOne day, i was walking my daughter home from the first grade. She took me by the hand and said, “mommy, you have to start remembering better.”",
"Holy shit that's adorable af",
"We just not gonna talk about how these twins are named after the character from two and a half men, or",
"Pretty sure she said \"Taddy\"",
"Yeaaaaaaahh, but Charlie was being a real Harper right then, so.....",
"Treats him like a child, kids become their parents.",
"Ok, that's enough internet for me - I'm finally going to quit while I'm ahead, that was ridiculously cute.",
"Leave now before someone links the guy who fucked a coconut.",
"That's when you turn that handholding into a handshake and say \"I'll try to do that, nice to meet you\"",
"why would you name your daughter \"guy who makes harps\"",
"Did this dude really name his kids after Charlie sheen's character in \"two and a half men\"?? Or possibly the punk singer but I'm sticking with my original thought",
"Woah you’re right!\n\nI’ve seen this before and I didn’t catch that, makes sense with him saying whose Harper cause shes just saying both names and waving her hand. We don’t notice it because the subtitles are wrong and we don’t hear that the other is called Charlie till the end so *Daddy* makes way more sense.",
"I have two nearly identical twins in my class. They style their hair differently, but I still frequently mix them up if they're not sitting in their assigned seats. It doesn't help that they usually wear the same outfits and have names that rhyme (Molly and Kolly). \n\nIf I call one by the wrong name and get corrected, I usually just wave my hand and say \"Molly, Kolly, same same.\"",
"This is awesome. She lacks the vocabulary to elaborate further but she is using exactly the same tone that an adult would use. Her “mm-hmm” is so adult.",
"shhhh....They have Tiger Blood.",
"Tired. Read that as Romulan accent.",
"idk i think the interesting thing about this video is maybe it is capturing the first time the distinction has been made by the twins about the twins. \n\nAtleast that's how I'm looking at it. Imagine being Harper, building a vocabulary from scratch and for all intents and purposes being transmutable with Charlie. -One day your mum is cooing at you as Charlie and the next she's rocking you to sleep as Harper. \nIt would be pretty cool if right out the gates as soon as you where able to claim distinction for yourself (and a name to boot) and that was what was being captured in this video. Who knows, maybe that was Harper? \n\n-cause lets be honest: this aint the first and it wont be the last time Dad get's these two mixed up.",
"Winning",
"Daaaaad!!",
"At least they aren't Walden and Schmidt.",
"Just me or does Harper and Charlie seem like weird names for girls?",
"Charlie is usually a diminutive of Charlotte when used for girls.",
"Too cute.",
"Lol i bet they don't like you at all",
"that's very cute",
"why do i always fail to remember not to read the comments",
"Thankfully they have a better sense of humor than you.",
"\"Don't you put that evil on me!\"",
"They named their twin girls “Charlie Harper”….. I think we found the ultimate 2&1/2 Men fans….",
"i'm buying team shirley jerseys right now",
"That accent is as Aussie as it gets",
"Seems reasonable to me. Their first comment was \"The baby is saying \"no, charlie\" not daddy.\" and then they added the edit only after being heavily downvoted. And the edit isn't even that hostile, just seems matter-of-fact to me. You're weirdly kinda agitated about a benign comment.",
"My mother calls me by my brothers name fairly often. \n\n\nThe only difference is I'm 2 years older, three inches shorter, have darker hair and live 200 miles away. \n\n\nLike totally identical.",
"Don't upvote the comment stealing bot. Upvote the original comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/r91v00/father_gets_corrected_by_his_twin_daughter_when/hnafx7m/",
"Trust us, we know one thing about your relationship, allow us to fill you in on every thought they've ever had about you",
"I have twins, this happens.",
"Omg adorable I want one or two but only for a little.",
"Why do you steal comments? Like what's the point? Trying to get karma or trying to blend in with the crowd before spreading propaganda on behalf of the dog food industry or something?",
"Video is missing his other kids, Vod and Kanockers.",
"Why are you telling me this. All I said was that the video was adorable.",
"Harper is usually a girl's name; writer Harper Lee being an example.\n\nCharlie is short for Charlotte or Charlene.",
"My heart just melted\n\nMelteeed",
"Wasn't expecting a little girl to be named Charlie, but I don't hate it either.",
"Now I really need to hear the mother's accent",
"It's short for Charlemagne",
"Isn't it always?",
"Well daddy issues is a core aspect of that show",
"It looks so nice and cute.",
"Sometimes it's Charles Martel",

"Just grab them in the afternoon and release them in the evening. Use candy as bait.",
"Name's become popular recently and it's mostly after the author Harper Lee.",
"Yup, I have 2 sets of twin sisters and when they were young you could only really tell by seeing their complete face otherwise you get a 50/50 shot at getting it wrong. Once they got older and changed hair or attitudes it was a lot easier.",
"My friends kid is named Charlotte, but we call her Charlie, char‐char, and occasionally chuckles. One of the fun things about kids is giving them embarrassing nicknames.",
"Oh damn.",
"I wondered how Romulus, MI could have an accent when they’re 10 miles away. \n\nI’m also tired",
"🤣🤣",
"Yup, that's exactly what I wrote. Good job, bud, proud of ya",
"Wonder how many twins were named something at birth and accidentally got swapped at some point and no one knows",

"Tha God",
"Haha I bet people don't like you at all",
"Oh yes, the famous Queen of the Franks.",
"It took me about thirty years to be able to tell my twin cousins apart. Now I know it by sight and mannerisms and personality. But if they tried hard to fool me, they absolutely could.",
"“Who are you again?”",
"9.1 million people on any given night apparently https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/two-and-a-half-men-season-12-ratings-34549/",
"It's a prank. The context of the video is the dad calls them by the wrong name on purpose to see how they react.",
"[Charlie and Harper are Tomorrows Girls.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55JSwCOUg68)",
"And the next morning you wake up in a nursing home and the staff won’t let you leave.",
"Charlie bit my finger!",
"I'll take that bet, how much money are you willing to lose?",
"You're such an idiot you don't even get the joke smh",
"Some people are so far behind, they actually think they're leading",
"So I'll just explain it for you since I am an educator and that's kinda my role in life or whatever\n\nThe first thing you said was that you bet the girls in that guy's story don't like him. I joked that it's ridiculous to assume you know something like that based on one small story. You must have went back to the comment because you replied to me, even though I didn't say anything to you. But you defended yourself saying my comment was hyperbole (it was, that was pretty obviously my intention though). So then I repeated what you originally said, that I bet people don't like you at all, trying to highlight how ridiculous it is for me to think that. I mean I've talked to you one time, I have no idea how people feel about you. But then you actually seriously tried to challenge what was a complete joke.\n\nI hope you understand now",
"Thanks teach, now let me explain two jokes to you. \nMe \"taking the bet\" was a joke as well. But you didn't get it and said that i didn't get the joke, which is why I replied with that quote. \nYou are so far behind (not getting my joke) that you thought you were leading (ridiculing me for not getting your joke). \nNow you've fallen even further behind, but I'll gladly help you catch up."

"Unfortunately [dunk tank](https://youtu.be/2eKHvtTWjV4) has also succumbed to the pressure of spooky goblin content. He starts off as skeptical but I think this was the beginning of his slow descent into goblinification. Sad to see.",
"Yeah but even many, if not all, of these small channels feature promos, sponsored segments, or merch shout outs. Nothing against at all, in fact I'm happy for them making an income doing something they love, but it just adds to the feeling of content being more produced and corporatised",
"December 25th\n\n3 1/2 hour Donkey Kong yule log",
"Only 3 1/2hr? Need a 10hr version.",
"It also helps that Dunkey speaks quite clearly. In videos with accents or mumbling it can get pretty bad.",
"who hurt you",
"Thats missing the point, if dunk wanted to \"make it\" in the normal entertainment industry he would never show them this video-less meme video. My entire point is i'm happy he's making content as original and against the grain as this. Justin Roiland, matt Groening, Seth Rogan, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, ALL made more crazy and unhinged content before their respective hits. You kinda missed my entire point.",

"\"Tribal People\"",
"Seriously what the fuck is wrong with people? Can we stop bashing different cultures for once? Fuck whoever labeled them as “tribal” people.",
"Yeah, that would be the producer, whom I believe is from there. Kinda messed up that you think that people can't or don't live in a society where they identify with a certain tribe. You do realize that being part of a tribe is still an option. Technically I could claim the Cherokee as my tribe, as I am registered. \n\nEither way, it's probably more of an issue of finding an accurate descriptor that translates. You may find this channel offensive, but they are doing a lot of good for their community, not to mention humanizing people from other cultures to dumb ass westerners who think that them identifying with their traditional family groups and ties is somehow offensive."

"I'm sure this will get all the kids to the theater and they'll be happily surprised! Yay!",
"I made my girlfriend watch Terminator 2 with me today (we watched the first one a few weeks ago) and she said she didn't expect Arnie to turn out to be the good guy. I told her that her experience of that twist is something very few people had the chance to experience because the promotional material at the time spoiled the twist.\n\nI then hopped on Reddit to read what other people thought about the movie and found this trailer that someone cut last month and thought it was really cool.",
"Thanks!",
"People retrospectively like to say that the trailers ruined the twist in T2 but from an in-universe point of view it doesn't make much sense to make it such a big deal.\n\nThe audience watching could reasonably think that the T-1000 is the good guy. Kind of the protector role filled by Kyle Reece in the first film. This is because they've seen Schwarzenegger as the bad guy in the first film. But this is John Connor's story and John is the first main character to encounter him, in the [galleria scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhL8WlDHKaY). John has no reason to recognise him and his most likely reaction to seeing the terminator pointing a shotgun at him would be confusion. He's grateful to him for saving him from the T-1000 who just tried to kill him.\n\nThe only thing that is a big deal in this regard is Sarah Connor's first encounter with the terminator during [her escape](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTCEWAraUzI). She absolutely recognises The Terminator and is so traumatised that she runs back towards the abusive workers of the asylum she has been so desperate to escape for the last six years. This scene is so powerful precisely because the audience knows what's going on. You are forced to empathise with Sarah based on what you know about what she knows. *The audience* knows that Sarah is no longer in danger, but they also know that Sarah doesn't know that. This is great storytelling.\n\nThe main theme of T2 is the idea that the future is not set. Unlike the fatalistic ideas of The Terminator (1984), T2 is about optimism and self-determination. At the start of the film the premise is that they must save John so that he can lead the rebellion. The big twist (at least for me) is the moment that John, Sarah, Dyson and the terminator realise they can work together to stop Judgement Day happening. The moment when [Sarah Connor realises what she has become and breaks down](https://youtu.be/VduTNiOXpik?t=125) is heart breaking, because we empathise with the trauma she has been through that has led her to that point. This leads into the 3rd act where the goal is no longer to protect John, but to stop Judgement Day.\n\nI used to think that it was a shame they spoiled this twist. But now I realise that to hide the T-1000 in the trailers and make Arnie Is The Good Guy a big secret would have been nothing more than a gimmick that would have overshadowed the entire marketing campaign.\n\nBy the way, this is why T3 is such an abomination. The fact that T3 changed the rules and made Judgement Day \"inevitable\" is one of the greatest cinematic travesties ever permitted. F**k Terminator 3!",
"No T-1000 tho?",
"Ironic that this comment spoils the twist",
"I watched T2 as a kid before watching T1 only a couple of years ago so I had the twist in reverse. I only remembered the terminator as a good guy. Didn’t expect terminator to be the antagonist",
"It's kind of amazing that the studio spoiled it because the director and editor clearly set it up to be a twist. We never see the T1000 kill anyone or do anything necessarily bad until the meeting with him, Arnie, and John at the mall.\n\nThe closest exception is when [he kills the police officer at the beginning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HuPANafBQ4) - but if you think he's human, and thus unarmed, then you'd assume he just knocked that officer out.\n\nThe idea of watching the whole movie up to the mall scene and then, at that moment realizing, \"wait, Arnie is *protecting* John??\" must be such a treat.\n\nThe studio might be incompetent, to have allowed the spoiler. But my guess is that they figured fewer people would watch what appeared to be the same exact movie a second time. Also, they probably knew that everyone was going to be talking about the tech and spoiling it anyway.",
"There were no unfunny quips or jokes in places there shouldn't be, so it wasn't cut in the modern era.",
"Plus, the difference in the introductions to the T-900 in both films make its role as antagonist/protagonist fairly clear. \n\nIn the first film he literally punches into a guy's stomach. In the sequel he burns a guy on a stove, throws another guy through a window and then gives an \"Arnie look\" when his sunglasses get knocked sideways. It's a \"twist\" only if you're not paying attention.",
"They really didn't set it up as much of a twist. They didn't flat out say that arnie was good and robert patrick was bad, but the music alone spells it out. Arnies entrance is halfway to comedy, whereas they're playing the 'evil terminator music' for patrick.",
">The only thing that is a big deal in this regard is Sarah Connor's first encounter with the terminator during her escape.

The audience knows that Sarah is no longer in danger, but they also know that Sarah doesn't know that. This is great storytelling.\n\nThat is a phenomenal scene.\n\nAlso, arnie throws the black guy into the window so hard he turns white.",

John has no reason to recognise him and his most likely reaction to seeing the terminator pointing a shotgun at him would be confusion. He's grateful to him for saving him from the T-1000 who just tried to kill him.\n\n\nHe thought the T-1000 was an asshole cop not a cyborg from the future, and at that point he had not tried to kill him, just arrest him. John may recognise Arnold from descriptions or drawings by his mother.\n\n\nFor the audience I think it might be a bit up in the air. They've seen the character arrive from the future and disable a cop (it's not clear if he's been killed) and take his clothes and car, and act kind of inhuman/cold/not how you would expect a protagonist to act. On the other hand Arnold fight a bunch of bikers toward the same end but he does it cool and funny way and clearly does not kill any of them.",
"They've left out the single biggest reason anyone had to bother to watch the Terminator sequel in the first place (in 1991): the T-1000 and the special effects that went along with it. It would be like doing a trailer for Aliens, but not showing the space marines. They've taken away everything that made the sequel interesting for an uninitiated audience. This trailer makes the film look like just a re-hash of the first movie; for some reason, with a kid.\n\nAnd that may be why they felt the need to \"spoil\" the film in the trailer in the first place. If T-900 is a bad guy but you *also* have the much more dangerous T-1000 *also* hunting down someone, then why is the T-900 in the film to begin with (from an audience standpoint)? If, on the other hand, you have the bad-ass T-900 from the first film **fighting** an even badder-ass T-1000 in the second film, you've given the audience something more to watch.",
"I was lucky enough to see it in theaters before I had paid attention to any of the commercials. I knew that Arnold was the terminator, and not much else. That was a great movie.",
"A trailer without the main bad guy in it tho? That's kinda weird, I get what you're saying but the trailer needs to represent what the movie is going to be about. Is this another movie where Sarah runs away from Arnie trying to kill her again? That sounds like a shit sequel and the trailer might have been met with complete dissapointment. Since I've seen both movies, I still enjoyed this trailer that you created anyway. But as a means to sell the movie, not so much.",
"Arnie being a good guy and T-1000 being a bad guy based on their introductions were intentionally ambiguous. Yes, Arnie didn’t kill the bikers, but he was still clearly robotic and lacked emotion. T-1000 showed emotion and even a little charisma. Look at the scene where he talks to John’s [foster parents](https://youtu.be/mPAIbs8q-EY) and asks for his picture. He commented that he’s a “good looking boy,” and shows emotion in his facial expressions. Clearly he’s the more human of the two. Unsuspecting audiences would likely believe that he’s human, and based off their experiences in the first film, the good guy. \n\nThe ultimate reveal in the back hallway of the [galleria](https://youtu.be/bhL8WlDHKaY) showed John pinned between two people both after him. Arnie pulls out a shotgun well before T-1000 draws a weapon. The scene is made to make John and the audience think that the shotgun was for John. T-1000 then pulls out the handgun, presumably to protect John. Then the big reveal happens and John is saved by Arnie. \n\nIt’s easy to go back and see the subtle breadcrumbs spoiling the reveal, but I believe everything was intentional. It was well crafted to lead unsuspecting, passive audiences to assume Arnie was the bad guy again, while rewarding more active-thinking viewers who noticed some subtle nuances. \n\nThe trailer completely undermines James Cameron’s brilliant cinematography, regardless of whether or not you were capable of suspecting the twist on your own or not.",
"Like I needed more reasons to watch this movie again",
"It’s not a twist if it’s in the first act; it’s the premise,",
"This was great. I'd love to see an ominous shot of T-1000 liquid re-forming into a person or some kind of shot so we are like \"Ok, now what the fuck is THAT?!\"",
"I saw T2 before T1 and I was only in 3rd grade (at an older neighbor’s house - my parents didn’t know). No twist for me because I barely knew what the hell was happening :(",
"Not for most of the 1st movie.\n\nVasquez in Aliens, however, would do so without question.",
"T-900 is the predecessor to the T-X (T3 lady Terminator) and was in, like, the T3 games and a split second cameo in T3. T-800 is Arnie.\n\nAlso, showing the T-1000 in the trailer, especially as a Terminator, would spoil a first time watcher who would otherwise assume the T-1000 was the Resistance human sent back to protect John. You don't see him do any liquid tomfoolery for a while in the beginning. The encounter in the back hallway in the mall between Terminators is the first time you see liquid metal anything which is at the 32 minute mark.",
"this trailer suks",
"[Original trailer for comparison](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRRlbK5w8AE)",
"That was the sell back then. People were losing their minds to see this showdown between two Terminators. Losing the twist was worth it. The hype was crazy, and the payoff better than we could imagine.",
"> showing the T-1000 in the trailer, especially as a Terminator, would spoil \n\nIt's not a spoiler, it's the central plot of the movie. Does it spoil anything to know Indiana Jones is looking for the lost ark of the covenant?\n\n>a first time watcher who would otherwise assume the T-1000 was the Resistance human sent back to protect John\n\nWhich is the issue: it would just appear to be a retread of the first one ergo: no reason to watch it.\n\n>You don't see him do any liquid tomfoolery for a while in the beginning.\n\nYou did in the commercials.\n\n>The encounter in the back hallway in the mall between Terminators is the first time you see liquid metal anything which is at the 32 minute mark.\n\nWhich is what everyone was waiting for.",
"That was my experience too!",
"I had just seen Terminator and met up with a bunch of friends to watch part 2. I was pretty excited about seeing scary Arnold again but my one buddy told everyone the plot twist during the opening scene. I still hate that guy.",
"Easily one of my biggest cinematic disappointments was not being able to see T2 completely blind. By the time I was able to see it not only were their commercials and stuff but it was common knowledge in the cultural zeitgeist that he was a good guy. Wish I could have experienced that badass twist.",
"That's actually a pretty cool trailer, spoiling the twist notwithstanding.",
"It's a hell of a \"reveal of the premise\" the audience was deprived of due to the marketing spoiling it.",
"It’s the marketing’s job to sell the movie, which usually includes sharing the premise.",
"I think they could have avoided that by having a scene where the evil terminator is mimicking Arnold then changes shape and show that in the trailer. People would assume that there's one terminator that looks like the one from the first but can change shape. Scenes showing the cop as the terminator would be assumed to be Arnold disguised as a police officer.",
"For those that were alive back then, it was actually pretty common knowledge that Arnie was playing the “good guy” this time. He talked about it in interviews in such. \n\nThis was also a time when you couldn’t just stream trailers on demand, repeatedly, as much as you want. So you would see a trailer once, and barely remember it by the time you see the film.",
"Yep. Aside from the fact that it was common knowledge back then, it happens within the first 15 minutes of the movie.\n\nI know the general attitude on Reddit is that it is better to go in completely blind, and there is nothing wrong with that. But I also think you need to at least be able to give a basic premise and some set up when you’re explaining it to someone.\n\nPeople in /r/movies used to get mad when you reveal a plot point from literally the first five minutes of Tucker and Dale Versus Evil.",
"It was revealed long before that. I was alive back then. It was very common knowledge that Arnie was playing the good guy this time. He’ll, I never saw this trailer back in the day, but I knew about the twist.",
"Yeah it's the central conceit of the movie.",
"I'm so glad I came to the two movies after their initial release but before the days of YouTube. Literally completely blind before both movies. All I knew about them was Arnie's \"I'll be back\" which became a common quote.",
"I dunno man, the way the film is shot it's clearly intended to have you not know Arnold is the good guy this time until it happens 32 minutes in. If they weren't confident an Arnold movie would sell at that point in his career and felt it necessary to leak \"cool liquid metal terminator\" shit in previews to draw an audience, that's kinda fucking insane to me. We're talking 1991 Schwarzenegger. If the trailers hadn't ruined the twist it would have been a borderline \"No, I am your father\" moment. Word of mouth would have gotten even the most hesitant person to go see T2.",
"I can't believe they've skipped minigun scene.. like it would be perfect for this",
"> It was revealed long before that.\n\n\nIts revealed in the movie before the shootout scene. In the first movie the terminator would kill anyone who got in his way. In the sequel Arnie terminator doesn't kill anyone in the bar scene. The T1000 doesn't kill anyone on screen either, we just assumed he killed that first police officer off screen. Then Arnie Terminator comes out of the bar and it plays Bad to the Bone. Its not obvious but the signs are there something is off.",
"God I would have loved to see a movie like this today without knowing the twist.",
">the way the film is shot it's clearly intended to have you not know Arnold is the good guy this time until it happens 32 minutes in.\n\nI disagree. I think the scene in the biker bar definitely portrays that something is different this time around. In the first movie, Arnold straight up kills the people he gets his clothes from. In this one, there's a bar fight where no one dies, and then it ends with Arnold putting on sunglasses as \"Bad to the Bone\" starts playing. Even Arnold taking the gun and sunglasses from the bar owner is funny. The Terminator-vision moments also come across as lighthearted, with the audience getting to see Arnold sizing up everyone in the bar looking for a match. He's still an ominous figure, for sure, but the tone goes against how villains are typically set up in their introductory scene.",
"I don't know why this keeps coming up again and again, but the first trailer (and teaser trailer) did not spoil the twist that Arnold was the \"good guy\" in T2.\n\nThis is the (often overlooked and hard to find) first theatrical trailer for Terminator 2: Judgement Day:\n\n[Terminator 2: Judgment Day Theatrical Trailer #1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qI3PUT5a5I)\n\nThat trailer hints at the twist, but does not give it away, especially in context of what audiences would have been aware of back then. That was the first full trailer audiences saw.\n\nThe \"Same Make. Same Model. New Mission.\" trailer that everyone seems to think was the first full trailer (after the teaser trailer) did not appear until after the film had opened:\n\n[Terminator 2: Judgment Day Theatrical Trailer #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1mF_hX8hT4)\n\nThat second trailer was what the film studio would have referred to as part of the \"second wave\" of advertising -- revealing more details to continue to try to generate interest in audiences that have not seen the film yet. Later trailers gave away even more of the plot/details. That's pretty common in film advertising.",
"Without \"the twist\" or showing of the other terminator, you basically get a trailer that says \"hey it's the exact same movie again with no change\". \n \nThis trailer would have been 10x better if at the end near the fade to black it showed the new terminator either with his blade-arm thing or going through the fence as a \"what the fuck\" end to the teaser.",
"I liked it a lot. I think you could have added one more thing without spoiling the movie, but also teasing something anomalous and crazy. A quick cut at the end of the T-1000 getting messed up and quickly healing. Without spoiling who injured him. Like maybe when he Wags his finger \"no\".\nEdit: phone.",
"People weren't obsessed by spoilers at the time, they didn't think spoilers ruined the fun (at least in most cases).",
"Excellent example of Eisenstein Rhythmic Montage. Makes me want to watch the movie, again.",
"Matters which generation of Tomb Raider. The original was a psychopath like Drake from Uncharted and would just shoot you in-between running away from Dinosaurs and Atlantian horrors.",
"Here's a fun thought experiment! Let's assume that this was the genuine direction for the marketing and T2 was coming out in today's era. The ultimate irony is that people would throw a shit fit insisting they had been lied to. Imagine it! Everyone talking about how they wanted to see Arnie kicking ass and murdering people, only for him to become a good guy and a brand new Terminator we hadn't even heard about was the true villain. I can see all the ranting video essays on YouTube about it now...",
"Thanks for sharing! Here is a low budget version of the movie for your enjoyment. https://youtu.be/4mTCgIHpQXE",
"Hey man,\n\n I'm the guy who made this trailer, I just want to say thanks for sharing, your post got more attention than my original post haha. I'm really happy to see that some appreciate the purpose of the trailer. I get other peoples opinions of not having the T-1000 in it but i wanted to see if it was indeed possible to cut together an alternative, blood pumping, action packed, thrill ride without revealing what many people believed (myself included) was a heavily spoiled plot twist. \n\nMy focus was to be more Sarah specific with the narrative and show her struggles as a mother and the pressure on her shoulders knowing what she knows. \n\nI'ts good to see some healthy debate on here.\n\nCheers dude.",
"The T-1000 is the twist, this trailer tries to hide. One is led to believe the T-800 is the same evil robot he was in Terminator.",
"It's not really a twist though, it's the premise.",
"Yeah, it's not a twist or a spoiler that Arnie's a goodie in this one. It's the reason to see the film, and it's established at the start.",
"Awesome! How did you find this post anyhow? It's not like it's top on /r/videos or anything... is it?",
"Funny enough it's relatively high on the \"Hot Post\" page but I found it through my youtube analytics. I noticed a massive boost in traffic and was curious to know where it came from and that lead me to your post. 👍",
"This is *really* well done. You ought to be proud of your effort.\n\nToo many movies give away their twist or gimmick in the trailer thinking that's the only way to draw in viewers, but you've proven that's not necessary.",
"lol",
"Thank you for the explanation!",
"That's very kind of you bud, thank you. Yeh, I'm super pleased with how it came out especially after weeks of working on it and figuring out how I wanted to construct the narrative (which was a real challenge).. I totally agree with you, that was certainly my main motivation for doing this. Again, thank you.",
"There’s no fate but what we make for ourselves!!",
"The fact the Robert Patrick isn't in the trailer makes it suck, also you wouldn't get away with one of the main stars not being in the trailer.",
"I mean, to snub Robert Patrick would never fly. I feel like the end could have added some cool mystery by introducing the t-1000 in just a SFX shot.",
"Indeed. And the marketing's job and the storytellers intentions don't always align. \n\nI'm not saying the marketing folks did a bad job or even a bad thing. They did their job.\n\nStill a particularly unfortunate thing for the audience that were deprived of that moment of reveal. \n\nI'm incredibly envious of anyone unfamiliar with the franchise who might still experience this movie with that reveal and all.",
"Wow, that trailer was phenomenal. Really wish this person had been around to make it back in 1991.",
"Yep, your girlfriend is definitely one of the lucky ones.",
"My god, that scene is so great. How he touches the car and monitor briefly before he fully understands how they work.",
"Knowing that the T1000 is a spoiler, but it doesn't really ruin the enjoyment of a movie at all.\n\nPlus they had to include it in the marketing because it was such a special effects masterpiece.",
"It would have been chef kiss if those last 10 secs after the title had either the T-1000 walking through the bars or reforming from a puddle. Just a little stinger of wtf is that.",
"Would have been a good teaser for a later trailer.\n\nSide question: Does anyone know when they first started doing teaser trailers? Used to be the trailer was the teaser; now there are teasers for the \"teaser!\"",
"Definitely well done! I thoroughly enjoyed it.\n\nThinking about a way to feature Robert Patrick in such a trailer without spoiling the twist I wonder how possible it would be to depict him as almost a stand-in for Kyle Reese... a few clips of him actually smiling and being nice, maybe a few shots of him shooting a gun all serious. The viewer could maybe be led to assume he's a human cop who understands what John and Sarah are (supposedly) up against and is helping against all odds.",
"damn that sound is so bad lol. But one of the greatest action movies of all time",
"They fly now!",
"Well shit, time to watch T2 again.",
"This trailer is substantially better than the original in every way. Incredible job!"

"No, i agree with u/feyyd, whatever's going on at 0:25, even if it's not \"sleeving\", looks intentional and draws a lot of attention (i picked up on it as well, before reading his comment). \nIt's that thing of, *even if it's not sleeving*, it **looks** like it thus making me think it is thus ruining the illusion a bit.\n\nIt is still impressive though.",

I'm not a magician, but I try to figure this stuff out, and to me it looks like a mucked sleeve or a palming technique that needs a lot of work.\n\nIf its not, I just recommend working on it looking more natural. I'm not sure what you are even talking about common sense on sleeving, you can shove anything in any hole/slot, so I think my common sense was pretty spot on.\n\nRegardless, I'm not trying to bully or put you down, I was really just trying to give a helpful criticism and tell you what I'm seeing (as an unbiased observer)"

"That's not how unemployment is counted. Unemployment is counted exactly as /u/AndChewBubblegum said - they count those people who are out of work, are able to be hired, and are actively seeking employment (specifically, via a survey). It has nothing to do with whether you're receiving unemployment benefits or the unemployment office - it's an internationally standardized measurement, so it can't be subject to individual nations' UI laws.",
"That is incorrect. Unemployment benefits have no effect on the unemployment rate whatsoever. As long as you continue looking for work, you are counted as unemployed into eternity.",
"As long as you are still looking for a job, you will be counted as unemployed, no matter how long you have been unemployed.\n\nThe time limit people usually refer to is for discouraged workers. If you stop looking for work because you are discouraged by economic conditions but say you still want a job, you are not counted in the usual unemployment rate but you are counted in the \"U4\" rate. However, if you still haven't looked for work even once in a year, you drop out of that rate as well.",
"Yeah, actually, the video is ironically backwards from the current economic statistics, where the unemployment rate is very *low* despite fairly anemic job reports and fairly low overall employment numbers.",
"The \"via survey\" bit was what I was missing. That would certainly seem to eliminate the biases I was concerned about in the reporting. This seems to give good detail about how it is measured in the US: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm",
"Full employment means what it says - the goal is 100% employment. However, it's impossible that you can actually get to 100% employment, because people leave jobs and don't immediately get new ones, they graduate from college and are looking for jobs, they're on seasonal furlough from jobs, they may not actually *want* a new job but say they are looking for jobs for a variety of reasons, all sorts of other things. \n\nThis is called \"frictional unemployment\", and is always positive. There is no way to actually get to 0% unemployment.",
"He’s stealing our jobs!!!",
"She can't find work she wants to do. They are out there",
"Homeless Barbie and Ken dolls, Barbie starts working the streets and Ken has to push drugs to keep afloat. Barbie doesn’t know that Ken broke the “don’t get high on your own supply” rule and is now hopelessly addicted",
"Where are they getting that data though?",
"They get the data through a large survey of about 60,000 households, called the CPS (Current Population Survey). You can find much more about the methodology [here](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/technical-documentation/methodology.html).",
"Do you like this bit from [The Simpsons?](https://youtu.be/Cqd-_fHdTyA)",
"Given the subsidies, I would just go on the exchange. If income is near zero, most of the plan will be subsidized. If income rises, some will have to be paid back, but it isn't onerous.",
"For this year and next year, while the temporary provision capping the amount you pay for a silver plan at 8.5% of income exists, yes. Beyond that, hope their business has taken off enough to afford more.",
"Johnny sins?",
"Jobs Georg is an outlier and should not have been counted",
"If no one wants to do the job for which you're hiring for the amount you're hiring for, then that job isn't going to get done for that amount. The \"labor shortage\" is just companies pretending they don't have to bow to the forces of supply and demand."

"Linux = communism\n\nMacbook ftw",
"After 15 years of using Linux distros, sometimes some coworker will ask me to do something on Windows. I am just as clueless as they would be using my Linux setup. It has nothing do with how use friendly the OS is, just your familiarity with it.",
"Although that's true, there are things that I just can't seem to do in Windows, so I'd still say Linux is more friendly. There are entire programs that you either can't disable or just can't change, whereas in Linux one can say it's difficult or that you need to know about software, but it's still possible to do.\n\nIn Windows it's built into their business model to try to make the user do certain things, or to just do those things regardless of what the user wants. So they have processes like their cortana application, various pop-up notifications, plus a whole range of GUI elements that you can't change because if you could it would be too easy to disable those other aspects of the operating system. In Linux there aren't those competing interests, so if there is anything you want to change, disable, or enable, there is a way to do it and you are free you to do it.",

"I'd love to see an actual paper on this.",
"I am a high school teacher and I can remember multiple times this idea coming up and the argument against it is always that we will have to stay in school until 4 or 430 to compensate and that would drastically affect sports, clubs, and other extra curricular activities. Also a lot of teachers really like being done before or around 3. They consider it a perk of the job. I support later starts by the way. I just wanted to comment about why it is resisted in general.",

"I am not confident in those data. Alcohol is easy to detect after the fact. How on earth can you determine whether someone was drowsy if the only evidence is the corpse?",
"I'm a high school teacher in California. Our district implemented a later start time this school year. Although I agree that more sleep is better, the fact of the matter is kids just go to sleep later now, thus making the later start time ineffective. I have a few kids that habitually doze off in class twice a week. \n\nFrom what I've seen so far, kids are still sleep deprived whether its from going to bed later or just still arriving at school early (parents still have to go to work). Education is being impacted because sports and extracurricular activities haven't been shifted so kids now miss more classes if they have to leave for a game. In addition, some teachers just give massive amounts of homework (especially honors and AP classes) so students try to finish homework before sleeping. \n\nOverall, I don't think later start times have really changed anything. A lot more has to change if we want to actually see an improvement.",
"Children aren't getting enough sleep. Period. In my neighborhood there are kids that are at the bus stop at 5:30am because the bus has to drive crazy routes to pick up kids. We have bussing to even schools out with racial and financial issues in mind, but it really can create a hardship for the child. They may have a school a block away, but they might have to go to a school 45 minutes away. I really want the type of equality they're going for, but not this way.\n\nAnyway, so SUPER early for some kids.",

"The burden isn't on me, but I'll humor you because even brief internet research provides better info than what is offered here. A study by The AAA Foundation between 2009-2013 found that the government numbers (1-3%) captured only a fraction of actual drowsy driving incidents: \n\n\n>Results showed that an estimated 6% of all crashes in which a vehicle was towed from the scene, 7% of crashes in which a person received treatment for injuries sustained in the crash, 13% of crashes in which a person was hospitalized, and 21% of crashes in which a person was killed involved a drowsy driver. If these proportions are applied to all reported crashes nationwide, results suggest that an average of 328,000 crashes annually, including 109,000 crashes that result in injuries and 6,400 fatal crashes, involve a drowsy driver.\n\n**Source:** Prevalence of Motor Vehicle Crashes Involving Drowsy Drivers, United States, 2009 – 2013 (November 2014). \n\n\nThese data are cited by the [National Safety Council here](https://www.nsc.org/road/safety-topics/fatigued-driver).",

"It's something fucked with YouTube, it happens strictly on my phone. I've found that switching the video quality fixes it 100% of the time",

They go around and try to dominate community meetings. They have some supporters. Some people will jump on board with anything about social justice. \n\nI’m sure other people have a problem with her but most would not want to provoke her. Maybe for fear of being called a racist or whatever. Probably because she’s clearly psychotic. \n\nI remember once I raised my hand at a neighborhood meeting and suggested we try to stay on topic because some of us have other things to do and want to be productive. She shouted at me and called me a gentrifier and colonizer and so on. \n\nLOL, WTF?\n\nSomeone said she didn’t even live in our neighborhood. I grew up there as a homeless kid and later with a foster family. \n\nI was trying to help with direct action, volunteering at the food bank, building tiny houses for the homeless, picking up trash, and so on. But if I didn’t support her exact way of thinking, then I was the worst person in the world and the cause of everybody’s problems. \n\nTotally turned me off of community meetings.

"What a psycho.",
"Women deal with a lot of little micro aggressions from men and we can go insane. It's cumulative damage. I'm crazy too. One time a guy whistled at me on the street I went into his work and screamed at him and his boss in front his customers. Catcalling fore started when I was junior high walking home from school, they normally do it from a car so they can get away. One time a guy yelled at me to get in his car. Then a guy does it to me in front of his work? Oh I'm just going to blow up his life. He'll never do it again. \n\nSo i can see from both sides. Like yeah she's crazy and I see myself in her, totally. But I've done a lot of work on it. I was suicidal, like I went all the way to the bottom and then I bounced. Because it's not just catcalling from a young age, I had a sexual harassment encounter with\"tom lykis\" professor in college, he just had me stand up in front of the class and said he had sex with me as example of a lie or something, I think the point was to mess with me because it made zero sense. I was almost raped, I got fired for gender discrimination back when the Trump campaign was feeding men a lot of propaganda about women in leadership. It's all that stuff + the little surprise Micro-agressions. And it's also hard to fight successfully when you get in that sort of desperate victim mindset. You give away a lot of power. So that. And then on the other side it's just not men's fault for not knowing any of this. \n\nAnd this is my input but I think men are generally good hearted sometimes theyre just culture locked. Like in France they map catcalling hotspots. They can map it because culture is geographic. men are just reading social ques from their group identity for whats permissable because that's what humans do. So theyre just doing what's normal, like dick jokes to pissed off ladies is normal in our culture. My boyfriends uncle is from Saudi Arabia and he was beating his wife in public who was also pregnant and in front of their two year old, basically guys circled around him about to fight him and his American cousin had to explain why they were doing that. He doesn't understand because he's doing something normal.",

"I don’t have 30 minutes to watch your video, but coming from a service tech viewpoint most of the problems, in the past anyways could be attributed to not being disassembled completely, and cleaning procedures done correctly, let alone reassembled correctly. Now with such a big shortage of workers I’m sure it has gotten much worse.",
"You don’t have time, yet you’re browsing /r/videos by new. \n\nNow if you’d watched the video you’d know that’s the main excuse everyone falls for. When in reality the manufacturer Taylor who has an exclusive contract with McDonald’s gets paid millions per year in service tech fees, paid for by the franchise owners. They aren’t allowed to use any other machine.",
"It's because the machines are made to be difficult to keep running since the service techs have to be called out more. It's a self cleaning machine made by a company that makes machines for virtually every other fast food place and no one else has the issue. Software updates are just more error codes for the same issues. It's basically a racket between McDonald's and Taylor (?) to charge franchisees more. It's intentionally poorly designed and McDonald's would like to keep it that way.",
"You got me there, however I don’t work for Taylor and I have always taken apart machine and cleaned before I would do any troubleshooting, unless something obvious was wrong.",
"Imagine going to McDonald's for ice-cream. I'd rather just grab a tub of discount supermarket brand and sit at home, at least they have flavors beyond chocolate and caramel.",
"Why should they be allowed to use other machines, or source their own beef, or start selling pasta? It's a McDonald's. Franchise owners reap the benefits of customer expectations of a uniform service offering because that's what they are required to deliver.",
"You clearly didn’t watch it. \n \nThe company Taylor requires McDonald’s owners to use the specific model of ice cream machine that breaks. Meanwhile allowing other company’s to use other models of the same machine that don’t have these issues. Same brand.",
"I watched 7+ minutes, or two commercial breaks worth. You just answered my only question, one I didn't care to spend another 23 minutes on, and hadn't thought about since.\n\nI'm willing to bet that corporate also determines what model walk-ins, cash registers, and deep fryers they use.",
"No the other items have a choice of a few different styles to fit their restaurant needs."

"\"FUCK YOU SON!\"\n\nGets me every time. Poor Butters, no wonder he's locked up in an insane asylum 40 years later.",
"worst ad ever",
"I wouldn’t say it’s an advert. \n\nI’m see the clip being more about dude has to work a second job at Amazon because he keeps buying crap on Amazon.\n\n…though that bike horn was a sweet gesture towards Butters. Especially after he told him to Fuck Off.",
"I'll take any anti-Amazon sentiment I can get to wash out the taste of their shitty ads I see every now and again showing half-assed talking head clips from cherry-picked employees waxing about how good they have it, and those stupid singing box commercials. Their ads couldn't be emptier if they tried.",
"Only for people incapable of understanding satire",
"If it was subtle I could understand /u/HPT01's confusion but it couldn't be more obvious.",
"The problem with Amazon Fulfillment Center jobs is not the pay. They pay double the federal minimum wage. It's the soul crushing and dehumanizing way the work is organized.",
"The way I see it the vast majority of the jobs in the world are soul crushing and dehumanizing.",
"Right, but some people are just that stupid.",
"Fuck Terry Crews.",
"Far more depressing than that. Workers in some mines were paid their wages in credits that could only be used at the company general store. It was essentially slavery. That is the origin of the song inthe video. It's also the satire, comparing Amazon to these old mines.",
"I can't watch South Park just because of the constant overbearing background music.",
"I worked as a grocery store cashier for about a year in college. That job felt soul crushing to me. Just stand in one place and scan groceries all day, every day.",
"One of the best songs appropriate for Amazon",
"Cartman was probably a bigger factor for that",
"Amazon intentionally pushes everyone until they quit in 18 months on the dot. Everything revolves around that until they run out of labor. Which will be soon with the planned turn around.",
"Their hourly worker turnover is around 150% a year. \n\nThere are degrees to things. Amazon work seems to be in the very bad end of things. \nWork can be menial and hard and people can still maintain some of their dignity.",
"When he first clicks buy it's on the line \"I owe my soul to the company store.\"\n\nThe point is not that Butter's family is struggling for cash because they buy too much stuff on Amazon. We see them buy groceries, a whisk, and a 2.99 music subscription. Not exactly luxurious excess.\n\nThe point is comparing the backbreaking work in an Amazon warehouse to other forms of historically exploited and undervalued labor like coal mining, and to put the sheer ubiquity of Amazon next to the company stores and debt bondage of early 1900s company towns, the implication being that the effect is the same: an underpaid, undervalued, and underprotected working class, even if it looks different.",
"I think they finally toned it down in the most recent stuff, but yeah, it was weird how it kept getting louder in the later seasons.",
"Nah, the pay is definitely a problem too. Barely pays a living wage, pay is basically industry standard, if not $1/hr higher, but demands twice the labor compared to industry standard, for a fraction of the benefits.",
"I wonder if this montage was purposely trying to mimic the look of a Breaking Bad montage. The camera angles inside of things, the time lapse, song choice. Might just be in my head.",
"people are happy to do crushing and dehumanizing work if the pay were high enough.",
"Their average starting wage is now $18/h, it's 10-30% better than average retail starting wage.",
"Who wouldn't?",
"You know when you have an old beater? A car not worth maintaining that you figure you'll just drive into the ground until you can afford something better? That's how Bezos sees the humans in his FCs. He's just waiting until the day he can automate the entire thing and replace all those pesky and inefficient meat-robots.",
"All ads are soulless. Ever notice the bigger selling point in a lot of ads say “made with real ingredients” because the norm has become artificial?",
"I lost a lot of respect for the guy after he selled out to Amazon",
"Oh most definitely. I think Amazon and Wal-mart ads just especially hit that bitter note for me when they try to push out this narrative that their employees are treated well.",
"That's why the job is so dehumanizing. The warehouse is designed for automation, humans are just placeholders for more advanced automation coming in the near future. \n\nI suspect the same happens in Walmart and other retailers as well. Eventually, they cut 80% of their workers. Retail stores become walk-in wending machines. People just pick their stuff and walk away showing their phone or credit card.",
"Had a feeling their take on what Amazon has done would be surface level and lazy.",
"Why 18 months? Is that just before the warranty runs out or something?",
"Any work environment where the majority of your employees are seen as completely replaceable is going to have problems to one degree or another. \n\nThe problem with unskilled work, is when you are getting enough resumes a week to replace your entire staff there isn't a lot of incentive to improve working conditions. \n\nBeyond that, every major large corporation has similar issues to one extent or another... once a company hits a certain size it stops seeing employees as people and sees them as little more than robots... you might be lucky and have a decent boss where you work, but that really is the reality especially for those at the bottom, its why regulation is so important and why for all their faults so are unions...",
"did you think he was your friend or something?",
"Yeah but retail workers get breaks, can go to the bathroom, and don't have risk of injuring themselves. Plus retail jobs can be kept long-term, Amazon warehouse jobs are designed to have high turnover. Any job that is designed to have the worker quit it isn't a real job imho.\n\nAnd none of that justifies the whole \"do twice the standard work for 10% more pay and zero benefits\" thing. \n\nIf Amazon wants twice the labor done, they should hire two people at that wage, not one.",
"I worked at a Amazon FC for a little bit. Although I was doing customer returns, instead of order shipping. First off let me tell you, the shifts are brutal. 10hr days, 2 15 minute breaks + 30 minute lunch. The rest of the time, you are standing at a computer screen unpacking/repacking returns. It is the most brutal experience to my back, that I've ever experienced. All because you don't really move. Just standing at a slight hunch for 10 hrs. It sucks. By the end of the night I couldn't stand up straight and by the end of the week, I'd be in unreal pain. Just from standing. They expect you do process about 260 returns a night, and have high quality. For the about month I was there I always told them, I'll give them one or the other, not both. You can have quality or quantity. I read somewhere to just work at your own pace, because as long as you are working, they will not fire you. BTW. You don't have to lie on your return reasons. And it's easy to tell when your drink and prime. lol\n\nThey typically play music over a large speaker, and one day this song came on. I started laughing, and nobody around me understood why it was so funny. I was a little let down. Amazon really is a soul crushing job. I didn't want to work there, but I needed something to get be by until finding something better.",
"The worker will burn out around that point because Amazon isn't going to give them the kind of raises that would make them feel well enough to continue working like that. So eventually in some smaller population areas Amazon will exhaust their work pool candidates because they will turnover literally everyone in the community.",
"Probably a number of reasons, but I'm sure they have all kind of metrics and data they look at and have noticed that you CAN'T do that shit for any longer at a certain point and the employees become not as efficient and start to just get lazy and done with it.\n\nThey won't run out of workers either.\n\nEvery day people are becoming old enough to enter the workforce and would jump at double the federal minimum wage.",
"This is a good advert for Amazon employees who are getting an opportunity to vote to unionize.",
"Humans are really not made for these types of mindless/repetitive task jobs. There is nothing intellectually stimulating about package boxes every day, or doing the same task over and over again. No matter how much you pay the person, the job will just grind them down little by little, hour by hour till that 18 month mark rolls around and the person realizes \"Am I going to be doing this for the next 40 years?\"\n\nIm pretty sure Amazon knows this and doesn't care because the human element they have in their Fulfillment Centers now is just temporary. This is why they invest heavily into automation and robotics. The human workers there are just there to complete the tasks the robots are not yet capable of doing with their current AI. Eventually, those Fulfillment Centers will be completely automated...with the only humans involved there in IT and Engineering support roles to fix the broken robot workers.",
"And now I’m studying to be an RN",
"It's a nuanced message. The system is exploitative, but even the people getting exploited benefit from the system and choose to use it. It's somber because the problem seems intractable.",
"In Amazon treating people as robots is not metaphorical. Amazon workers are placeholders for machines that replace them in the next 5 to 10 years. Fulfillment centers are designed for automation, not for humans. I'm relatively sure that in 2030 Amazon warehouses run with 10% of the workforce they have now.",
"Not everywhere. Here they're only offering a few dollars above the state minimum, with the gap closing a little more every year. Now they've moved on to offering crazy hiring bonuses, which I'm willing to bet they renege on with some fine print shenanigans.",
"Are you arguing against something I said? \n\n\"Yeah but\" make it sound like you do, but you are just expanding the point I made in my first comment back to me.",
"This is why I canceled my membership and no longer shop at Amazon. The endgame results of monopolies are horrible.",
"Can’t wait until he reveals he became a rabbi just to troll Kyle",
"Thank you for sharing your story\n\nI work at Amazon on the tech side and I appreciate when I hear stories from FC employees because there internal media mostly focuses on the benefits and pay that people receive, definitely not the work itself\n\nGlad you're done if it was that awful",
"What's that? Ad advertisement from a company advertising that company and MADE by that company tried to portray themselves in a positive light?\n\nDon't get me wrong, fuck Amazon, but the entire advertising industry is 100% about ignoring the issues, and making the companies/products look better than they are. Ads are here to stay, and have been doing this for literally decades and decades, it's nothing new. The only thing you can do is not take an ad at face value. Just assume it's bullshit, and move on.",
"I'm on outbound so you get to move and do different jobs. 4 10hr shifts 3 days off, 2 30 minute breaks. Mandatory overtime right now 60 hours a week. The job is not hard. Hard on the body sometimes, but that's it. Maybe I'm just in a good facility. I've had worse jobs that paid less. Good fallback job though. No interview and such. You could work a couple weeks while looking for another job then put in your resignation and just go back if the other job falls through.",

"“I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?”",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg047oJf1B4",
"I think it's more of the \"company store\" idea that the song talks about. Coal miners back in the day were paid with money that they could only use at the company store that was owned by the mining company. That way the miners would get paid, then immediately give it back to the company to buy food and supplies. This was eventually made illegal. With how large Amazon is now, it is very hard to avoid using them at some point or another. The workers are like the miners working all day at Amazon just to go home and give the money back.",
"Working at Amazon made Butters' dad less of an asshole?",
"Luckily they are trying to get rid of pickers and go to lights out facilities.",
"Their pay is definitely not industry standard for warehouse workers lol",
"The problem is that comparable Edit: Warehouse jobs paid on average between $25-$35 an hour. Amazon pays $15 an hour and obfuscates the pay decrease by flooding social media with ads that they support a $15 minimum wage.",
"Nah but every once in a while a rich, out of touch celebrity seems like they may just actually be a real human being. \n\nTerry had us going for a while, not gonna lie",
"Alright we get it.",
"I also stopped shopping at Amazon, with the exception being when my company sent me a $100 Amazon gift card. I bought a pair of Nike running shoes; my feet are used to that brand, and I figured if I were gonna buy something from an evil company, I might as well double down and but it through an evil retailer.\n\nI try to buy from local stores, and American (or at least not China) whenever possible.",
"They'll usually have a clause in there that says you have stay with Amazon for X years to get them.",

"I made it to 22 months in a distribution warehouse before I got fed up, and the only reason I was able to handle the 12 hour mind numbing days was because I got a beanie with speakers in it so I could secretly listen to audiobooks.",

"So many college students in this thread complaining about a company that people work for because it’s better than their other options… \n\nworking for amazon for 15-20+ an hour is better than working for a “mom and pop” at 7.25 an hour and also no benefits",

"So like that guy studying to be an RN in the Amazon commercial will experience again when he becomes an RN?",
"I think it depends on your personality. I knew a woman who took payments at a utility company all day, every day. She sat at the front desk and people would come in and pay their bills. I asked if it was boring and she said the best part was that you'd get some chatty people now and then and it got so she would know a lot of the regulars. \n\nProbably a lot harder to do that in a grocery store cashier job, although you can probably talk to people a little.",

"If its anything like the moving bonus I took to change locations within my company, its much more insidious.\n\n\"stay for x years to get the bonus\" means leaving early has no downside. You're no worse off than when you started cause you never got that money. You can't lose something you never had.\n\nWhen I moved, my company gave me a 10k and paid the taxes (so I actually got the full 10k), but with the stipulation that I had to continue working for them for 18 months. If I quit or was legitimately fired before then, I'd have to pay back the 10k + the taxes they paid on it. That would be around to 13k total.\n\nI didn't mind, because I had no plans to leave soon (its a good job, I'm passed the 10 months now and still there), but if a place like amazon did this with a sign on bonus, and made you sign a contract that says you have to work for x amount of time or you have to pay them back, then they could just wait till the quotas become too much and you either slip and they fire you for misconduct, or you quit cause you can't take it. Now you're on the hook for all that money and once Amazon gets it back, its like they hired you for however long you lasted with no bonus.\n\nThe trick is to give them something first. Then, they have something to lose.",

Overall it improved production, but at what cost? That paper mostly details the history of it and how the U.S. government got involved.\n\nThe wiki page I linked has some more information about why/how it was banned:\n\n>A committee of the U.S. House of Representatives investigated and reported in 1912, concluding that scientific management did provide some useful techniques and offered valuable organizational suggestions,\\[need quotation to verify\\] but that it also gave production managers a dangerously\\[how?\\] high level of uncontrolled power.\\[21\\] After an attitude survey of the workers revealed a high level of resentment and hostility towards scientific management, the Senate banned Taylor's methods at the arsenal.\\[21\\] \nTaylor had a largely negative view of unions, and believed they only led to decreased productivity.\\[22\\] Efforts to resolve conflicts with workers included methods of scientific collectivism, making agreements with unions, and the personnel management movement.\\[23\\] \n> \n> \n> \n>Owing to \\[application of \"scientific management\"\\] in part in government arsenals, and a strike by the union molders against some of its features as they were introduced in the foundry at the Watertown Arsenal, \"scientific management\" received much publicity. The House of Representatives appointed a committee, consisting of William B. Wilson, William C. Redfield and John Q. Tilson to investigate the system as it had been applied in the Watertown Arsenal. In its report to Congress this committee sustained Labor's contention that the system forced abnormally high speed upon workmen, that its disciplinary features were arbitrary and harsh, and that the use of a stop-watch and the payment of a bonus were injurious to the worker's manhood and welfare. At a succeeding session of Congress a measure \\[HR 8665 by Clyde Howard Tavenner\\] was passed which prohibited the further use of the stop-watch and the payment of a premium or bonus to workmen in government establishments.\\[17\\] — John P.

Amazon workers are paid a good wage and work in a comparatively safe and comfortable environment. But to hear people talk about Amazon online, you'd think they were worse off than the coal miners in the song.\n\nAnd I know I'm going to get flak for this, but consider the fact that the bare minimum wage for an entry level worker with a high school education is over $30k per year. That means Amazon provides a two income family with close to the median household income, and after a couple of years they can easily be making more than median household income. And in most places, having a household income of $60k - $80k per year isn't bad at all for someone that never went to college.",
"In the month I worked there, I think I made quota once. Like I said before, as long as you are there, and working, there really isn't any punishment. They aren't going to fire you as long as you are doing your job right. Because where one may be under expectations, there is usually one or two people who are hitting well over to balance it out. As long as the entire group doesn't lay down. Honestly, if the employee's wanted to send a message, this is what they'd do. Just lay down, and nobody hit expected numbers. But to send that message effectively you need every single person in your group to do so. Hard to do, but would be more effective than a union push. As far as their tracking, it's just an simple system of how many did you fully complete. Sign in, get to scanning, when the grading is complete, add another to your count. I believe they expect 26-27 returns an hour processed. Doesn't seem like much, but sometimes you have to count quantities, plug things in, or put in batteries. \n\nCan you advance? I think so. But I believe you need to be there a year or X amount of times. After 30 days in your first position you can transfer if available. But as far as moving up, I'm not sure. My leaders seemed to be happy where they were. They weren't bad leaders either, but were hung up on overall numbers. \"I need more from you\" is all I ever heard. Well, I was more focused on doing the job right. Checking the boxes and any product that was powered to make sure it was working properly. I can't tell you how many times I would get a return that had no mention of defects/non-function only to find they didn't work.

I unfortunately found him at his home 4 days after the fact and called Amazon to try and find out what had happened. It took forever to get through to the right people and when I did finally get a call back it was a pathetic \"cover our ass\" narrative and that's it.

So they have to get employees to work an order a minute. If someone gets injured on the job it’s not Amazon’s fault, it’s the employees. The pay isn’t the problem, it’s the hazardous work environment and the system that fires you for mundane reasons.\n\nAnd did you notice how how he kept buying things from Amazon? He’s buying things from the company store and still has to pay for a Amazon services. Because he has no other option but to buy from Amazon, he has to buy it at whatever price they have it at. He goes to work just to pay off that order and continues the process.",
"Because they literally don’t give two shits about their employees. I worked at an FC packing peoples orders. There was an occasion where one week there wasn’t any items coming in so there wasn’t a lot to pack so we would just be standing there. I, as well as others, would take that chance to sit on the floor a bit to give my legs a rest, and without fail someone would come around within a few minutes and tell everyone that they need to be standing. Other times the conveyor belt we push packages to would break down. They would still have us packing and just stacking boxes around each other. Which keep in my where you pack is just like a slim hallway where everyone is at arms length at most. So we would just be in this tiny space surrounded with boxes not being able to move and them still getting on us to keep packing. \n\nI also worked at their delivery sortation center as well for a little. There they would have us pack these big bags which could weigh up to 50lbs. We would stack up to 9 bags 3 high onto carts and push them out to the delivery vans. Mind you I’m not very tall so a lot of times I would have to pick these huge bags up and over my head multiple times a day to get them on top of the stack. One day my arm was just killing me i couldn’t rotate it at all. So I asked a manager if I could do something else for the day. He immediately in the most smug way just told me “No you can’t have special treatment”. I was so pissed off for the rest of the day. It wasn’t like I was asking to take the day off or do nothing. Luckily for me it was the last day of my work week and just half assed the work for the day. \nThey love to spout constantly about how their #1 priority is the safety and care of their employees which is utter bs.",

You go in bright and early in the morning and come out miserable to the dark cold night. You wouldn’t see the Sun other than when on your break and that’s only if you went to the break room with windows.

You may even have to rent tools. The whole system regulated by the company to keep the workers impoverished, kicking off with an initial need to get a loan from the store to get started. Can't work without gear and a place to sleep. \n\nThis debt was designed to be impossible to pay off with a Sisyphean interest rate. The debt provided pretense to enforce abusive exploitation. After all, even just quitting would be tantamount to stealing. Already in debt and without advocates, miners were subjected to all manner of additional wage theft in the form of arbitrary penalties.\n\nThe parallels with Amazon is troubling. Grueling work with poverty pay, yet a company whose profits soar.",

I reported the injury to the team leads, he understood, and I never came back to work after that. Basically I went home and resigned. Being in that much pain every night is unexceptionable in my opinion. \n\nI also want to mention how awful they are with time.

Of course this all depends on where exactly you work at Amazon and what you do. But most jobs that have high turn over, are going to be rough on the body. And the 10hrs a night kind of sucks.

The responsibility needs to be on people with the authority to organize the masses to effect and enforce change.\n\nIn the littering example, the solution is not for a few people to simply abstain from littering.

Many towns had a major sole employer; we've moved on from the industries of 100, 200 and 300 years ago and so employers have shut down. People also can much easier daily commute 20 miles to NYC as opposed to 100 years ago. Towns can evolve. Not all do, but many manage; it's not correct to say that they all implode.",
"to me, it didn't sound like much at first. My first few weeks I was well over expectations. But when they started expecting my numbers to rise, and they just stayed flat at about 210-230 a night, I really didn't care. Some nights you'll get favorable returns, easy returns, others you get stuck doing the crappy ones. Or catching a tote full of things that shouldn't even be there. So to re-sort them in the system, you get no credit for anything you've just wasted time doing. The further down the line you are, the less you can cherry pick totes full of easy small stuff. You're stuck doing the bigger items. Some things like an air bed aren't exactly easy to check.\n\nOne thing I did get a kick out of was playing with some of the toys. Gotta make sure they work! The fact that I put together a remote controlled dinosaur, and used it to scare the person working on the other side of me might have cost me a few minutes, but was totally worth it. Made me feel like a human again. But yeah, expecting people to process something open/test/repack every 2 minutes is a bit hard. And if you get something that's clearly never been opened (like lets say a board game still in the manufacture wrap) they still expect you to open it up and check. Not that I ever did, but still. Little things like that you could use to get your numbers up if needed. But I never cared about hitting those numbers personally. I'd get in the ballpark naturally working at a reasonable pace. If that's not good enough well then they could have fired me. I wouldn't have cared.",

"I can't believe someone else was thinking this. The whole time I'm like ZOOM IN ZOOM IN. She was STACKED and I wanted to see more.",
"I too am shocked that people wanted to see a hot big titty girl dance. Well maybe you can see more, if she was 25 at the time of filming she would only be 82 now. With a little effort you might be able to track her down and see if she would dance for you but she might need a walker.",
"Damn. That band straight up copy+pasta'd a bunch of Beatles songs and sound. I mean I guess beatles songs aren't that sophisticated either but...even the chords and rhythm",
"Their song ['Moulty'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb9Qg65GQWI) is worth checking out, an autobiographical song by the drummer, backed in the studio by the Hawks, later to be known as 'The Band'",
"Its like if the Beatles did a California surf album",
"Strange looking dudes... The drummer and guitar players haircuts are /r/fuckmyshitup material"

"That was insane.",
"Very cool skater",
"Whenever I see people hanging out and skateboarding I always like to stop and watch for a few minutes. I have never, ever, in my entire life, seen someone land even the simplest trick in person. It has been an endless montage of people attempting to do an ollie, jumping off their board as it rolls away, and then stumbling and catching themselves heavily on a guard rail.\n\nI am obviously not a west coaster.",
"Holy balls that trick at 1:50...\n\nEdit: This dude is insane. How has he not busted his skull by now.",
"Very well deserved SOTY",
"DAMN... that was an insane part. He moves... fast.",
"so theres one thing im unsure of. ive seen someone do the sunset carwash gap before but i dont follow skating anymore so idk if it was this person that i saw or someone else. if it was milton it makes sense but if it wasnt then why are they celebrating so hard afterwards? the video i saw i think spent more time at that location and had the skater struggle with it and possibly even get into a confrontation with the ...owner or maybe police. its just a odd one to end on if it was a big part of a different skaters filming location.",
"There is the raw version of his kickflip on youtube. The reason why its so celebrated is because no one had kickflipped it yet. And it is extremely gnarly to do that into a crazy bank like that.",
"It's cause Skateboarding is hard as hell! If you go to a skatepark and see someone land a trick here and there, they're usually considered pretty good at skating. \n\nI've been skating for 15+ years, and I'm happy if I land 3 or 4 tricks in a 4 hour skate session. Granted, they're nothing like the caliber seen in this video. At my age, I like to stay a little closer to the ground.\n\nThat said, I still do it cause I find there's nothing that's more rewarding than learning and doing something new. I recommend anyone even slightly interested in Skateboarding to pick up a board and give it a shot.",
"Fu-King amazing!! Damn, always impressed by the skill and the abuse these guys and girls go through for some of these tricks!!\n\nIf anyone hasn't heard or seen King of the Road and has a love of skating you def owe it to yourself to watch as it is done by Vice in collaboration with Thrasher.",
"This guy wears regular chuck taylors?",
"I can't skate for shit but I am a photographer that likes to shoot skaters now and then. I am constantly amazed at how hard a lot of skaters work to get a single trick out and how much everyone around them celebrates when they do. I don't doubt that I am lucky to be near good parks but I am always super stoked at how wholesome skaters can be at times.",
"Converse has skateboard versions of some of their shoes under the CONS name. What he mostly skates are CTAS Pros. A modified Chuck Taylor with a removable cushioned insole, different upper, and slightly modified outsole. \n\nCONS made him his own colorway when he won SOTY.",
"Agreed. Feels for Suciu though as he is probably going to be beat out again this year by Yuto.",
"The gnarliest part about the video imo.",
"RIP Phelpsy! Gone way too soon, but damn did he live a full life\n\nMilton totally deserved SOTY, some of those spots were INSANE!!",
"Damn, I recognized one of those locations from an old Zero skate video with Jamie Thomas I probably haven't seen in 20 years. Crazy the things you randomly remember.\n\nI gave up skating a long time ago, but always cool to see how far the sport has come. Really cool video.",
"Which spot was it?",
"The gap to lipslide on the 10 flat 10 or whatever it is blows my mind every time.",
"Several tricks have been done there. Milton was the first to kickflip into it. [Milton broke his leg there in 2015](https://youtu.be/BAqNOneGRiM?t=136) trying to ollie into the bank.\n\n[John Cardiel early grab and Mark Gonzales ollie to forehead slide](https://youtu.be/w2IYXNBIXUE)\n\n[Jim Greco ollie](https://youtu.be/sqXvfRz0s9I?t=154)\n\n[Gavin Kish half cab](https://youtu.be/epOFy7H55_c)\n\n[Alex Midler Backside 360](https://youtu.be/TAenS2LcBl0)\n\n[Dustin Dollin trying to kickflip and getting wrecked part 1](https://youtu.be/Jfx8l-zVrYU)\n\n[Dustin Dollin trying to kickflip and getting wrecked part 2](https://youtu.be/THcnby6b6sY)",
"I am glad skating never lost the fish eye lense",
"If he does I’m going to burn my trasher mags",
"Idk dudes at my local shred, it just depends on what the local scene is like.",
"Does he not have a shoe sponsorship yeah that’s crazy lol I’ve never tried to skate with chucks but I don’t imagine they are that great",
"Gotcha thanks that makes a bit more sense",
"[This guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKVaLuifQEE) is arguably the best skateboarder in the world (or at least was), and this is what it took for him to get just one of the 30+ tricks in a single video part. Shit's hard.",
"I mean Yuto's part was pretty nuts.",
"Ollie to forehead slide lmao.\n\nAlso Midler's back 3 is so damn gnarly",
"It was great but I don’t even think it was the best part from this half of the year. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yuto one the Olympics he would not even be in the consideration for SOTY and personally I don’t really think the olypics was that important. If competition skating mattered than Nyjah should have been SOTY by now",
"Ya, that's true. I've seen a lot of people on thrasher saying that the Olympics should count against SOTY lol. Personally, I'm for Dilo but I have very low hopes that comes true.",
"I want Sucui to win but I could live with Dilo",
"The gap he jumps at 2:25. \n\n[This is the Jamie Thomas video I remember at the same location](https://youtu.be/dqqPCqyAfl4?t=48)."

"Barbara Walters is the worst.",
"Then she's a perfect contrast to Dolly!",
"Dolly Parton is the best.\n\nEdit: I finally got home and watched it. When she says the joke is on the public and that she knows exactly what she's doing, I believe her 100 percent. Earlier she said entertainment is a money making business. I bet she feels ridiculous in her clothes and makeup, but that's what's selling, so she's laughing her ass off at what the general public wants to buy. That gave me huge This is America vibes. \"I'm so pretty.. I'm gon' get it.\"\n\nAs I said. Dolly Parton. The fucking best. Boss ass bitch.",
"that hair is epic\n\nlike a helmet",
"You just can't outclass Dolly. She's such a treasure.\n\nedit: I don’t want to hate on Barbara Walters too much. She’s a seasoned interviewer. This was at a time where most interviewers worked with an artists publicist to come up with compelling interviews that benefitted both. The questions are probably all approved by Dolly, and she’s such a good person that almost nothing offends her. A true professional.",
"Dolly making Barbara look like straight trash",
"I don't know Barbara Walters but I would not consider her questions as rude. They are direct, without any political correctness and quite fair actually. Also by her tone, I feel like they are asked with respect and genuine interest.\n\nTo me this is what a conversation between adults is supposed to be like. Asking hard questions and getting honest, well thought answers.\n\nEdit: I guess the PC police does not like my take on this conversation...",
"Man I’ve never seen her so young but I can’t help but notice how much Paris Hilton looks like her here.",
"Yo her first question was ARE YOU A HILLBILLY?, her second question was WHEN DID YOU GROW TITS? third question was ARE YOUR TITS REAL? fourth question was WHY DO YOU WEAR WIGS AND MAKEUP IF YOU ARE ALREADY PRETTY? then I turned it off when Barbara asks ARE YOU A JOKE? \n\nReal polite and hard hitting journalism here. What a professional cunt.",
"Talk to people like this and see how far you get in life.",
"The interview questions are designed to set up Dolly to give those answers so that Dolly can respond to the frequent criticism that she was getting at the time.\n\nI think the questions sound rude to people who don't know the context. This was a softball interview and Im sure the topics were discussed in advance.\n\nThat, and people (or bots) keep posting the video with a title that presupposes rudeness.",
"Depends on where you live I guess.\n\nI know for a fact that not all culture need communication to be sugar coated in political correctness. Some people actually prefer straightforward questions and answers.",
"Barbara Walters fucking sucks",
"Dolly outclasses everyone and probably 10x Babs.",
"Just because someone has the right to say something without punishment from the government doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Being rude isn’t exactly something people appreciate and people generally don’t like rude people. This behavior was rude.",
"That's so strange! That's exactly what I thought too",
"You must be deliberately ignoring your sense.",
"They lack tact.",
"First of all, not all the questions are phrased as you cite them.\n\nAnd even then, she's not accusing Dolly Parton of anything. The way Barbara Walter sounds does not even indicate any kind of judgement (at least to me).\n\nWhat does really bother you in this interview? The subject (why did Dolly Parton make her persona this way) or the form (the choice of direct question without trying to be politically correct)?",
"I mean, if your a journalist or professional interviewer asking straight questions with no inflection isn’t really inappropriate. That said, I feel like Barbara was trying to catch Dolly in a trap here.",
"You know? I bet she doesn't even do that.",
"She wears a wig professionally to preserve a small chance of privacy.",
"Thank you. I couldn't bring myself to watch much because I just can't stomach Barbara Walters. Now I know what the questions were. When I was younger I never fully appreciated how awesome Dolly Parton is.",
"Asking a person from Tennessee if they are a hillbilly isn’t a professional question. It adds nothing to a conversation. I have no problem with hard hitting questions when they need to be asked to someone but this is again, just rude. It has nothing to do with political correctness. It’s just human decency.",
"Having almost certainly seen this when it aired I agree with you. I still can't stand Barbara Walters. That said, the 70s were also a radically different time in terms of social norms.",

"**[Barbara Walters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Walters)** \n \n >Barbara Jill Walters (born September 25, 1929) is an American retired broadcast journalist, author, and television personality. Known for her interviewing ability and popularity with viewers, Walters appeared as a host of numerous television programs, including Today, The View, 20/20, and the ABC Evening News. Walters was a working journalist from 1951 until 2015. Walters began her career on The Today Show in the early 1960s as a writer and segment producer of women's interest stories.\n \n^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/videos/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)",
"Dolly is awesome - such a kind, generous, and loving person. We can all learn from her.",
"Fully aware of who she is. I was instructing the person I was responding to to start acting like her and see how far in life they get. Not far. And Barbara Walters could have gotten a lot farther by not being rude.",
"\"I'd never stoop so low as to be fashionable.\"\n\nThat's hilarious.",
"From this clip alone it’s clear that Dolly is a very emotionally intelligent person.",
"You made it further than I did. I quit after she asked about plastic surgery.",
"Barbara Walters is a brilliant interviewer. Y’all want to hear some bullshit questions about her next album or you want to hear some real shit?",
"I don't think so. There have been a few times she really has crossed a line, but, for instance, as in this interview, she can elicit a reaction out an interviewee that really demonstrates who they are, and what they are about. I think that means she's a good interviewer. Barbara doesn't come out of the interview looking good, but that isn't the goal. The viewer ends up with a better understanding of Dolly Parton, and that was Barbara's goal throughout.",
"Dolly: What do you mean 'Your People' ?",
"She's very jealous of Dolly.",
"Dolly Parton may not be fully enlightened in the Buddhist sense but she's obviously very well centered and not a slave to her emotions and likes/dislikes.",
"I don't know much about her but she's always seemed like such an intelligent and good person. She just oozes the personality vibes of strong, intelligent and good-hearted leaders. Sure she might not traditionally look the part but I feel like you could plop her down in a different body, different situation and she would be running for office.\n\nGreat lady.",
"That’s just a very small part of Dolly’s philanthropy. She’s quite an amazing person.",
"Didnt see anything wrong with the questions. They were awkward to ask, but they're exactly the things people want to know about and allowed Dolly to give such considered and classy responses. The reason we know how amazing Dolly is is because of questions like these.",
"I’ll steal this from a tweet. If Dolly looked this good I gotta see what Jolene looked like.",
"I've never enjoyed Dolly's music, but I've always admired her. Such a capable and wonderful woman. She's done, and continues to do, a lot of good for a lot of people. All the best to her and her loved ones.",
"Interesting take on it. In our day and age people are so focused on not being seen as an asshole that they don’t ask the questions that could do even if those questions could reveal more than safe interviews.\nHowever there are other ways.",
"Yeah no one time on The View, they had Corey Feldman on who was talking about the rampant pedophelia going on in Hollywood and she scolded him for trying to destroy the industry. She sucks.",

"which rude question? \"there were so many\" for clarification.",
"Yo, fuck Barbara Walters",
"She's so awesome for doing this. She's doing something real, something with a genuine impact on people. And for so many. \n\nAll the way over here in Australia we get these. My kids look forward to the delivery thoroughly, it arrives and I make a big deal of that piece of paper with their name on it and how there is a gift for them with their name on it, I hand it over with the pair stuck out, kids grab it and pull the paper out while I dance off with my book from Dolly Parton (what? The book doesn't have your name on it! Fiiine I'll share)\n\nThey thoroughly enjoy them, my little girl is nearly five but reading bloody everything she sees.",
"I dig both women personally and grew up watching both as a kid. I think those questions are the types that really let the viewers understand that Dolly is hella real and down to earth, in her own words.",
"Dolly is a National Treasure!",
"Dolly Parton is a Saint",
"Barbara Walters is a horrible person. Just watching how disrespectful she was to Corey Feldman over his coming out of pedophelia in Hollywood reaffirmed my dislike for her. The questions are just rude and disrespectful and Dolly Parton answers them more calmly and intelligently than I ever could. [Barbara Walter Accusing Corey Feldman of damaging Hollywood’s image](https://www.newsweek.com/barbara-walters-accuses-corey-feldman-damaging-entire-industry-pedophilia-accusations-1525167)",

"Many limousine liberal types think they are so much better than those filthy \"rednecks\" they look down upon.\n\nYou can hear it in Walters' voice....and still a bigotry common in many people today.",
"Working sucks. Working in an office is okay. But I noticed that approaching work like a game makes it more enjoyable. I have no loyalty except to myself and my salary. I focus on my output because it makes the day go by faster for me personally. My primary objective is \"leaning\" every aspect of my job resulting in lower effort but higher output. I was hired into a department/role that was demanding the resources of 3 employees (including myself). Once I was familiar with the job role, I opted out of all the unnecessary habits (IE over detailing email attachments for archive, over detailing internal notes, sending an email reply only saying \"thank you\" both internally/externally, using hard copy reference instead of digital and much more) that were trained to me. I did not let customers or colleagues that I didn't report to manage me. Within 6 months, colleague # 1 got promoted out of the department. Colleague # 2 (my supervisor) clashed with upper management, was revealed to be inefficient, and emotionally driven when making high impact decisions. Colleague # 2 eventually quit and I became the department for a year until we hired another employee). Title/Salary bump + autonomy over department parameters/company written processes.\nI play all sides when it comes to internal politics and communicate neutrality when there is conflict between colleagues/departments. I try to maintain frame when there is an emotional situation (frustrated colleague, high maintenance customer, mistakes across multiple departments resulting in x dollars) and avoid matching tonality so I appear to be the more rational person in the room. Most colleagues are intimidated by upper management. 3 years later and I now report directly to the CEO after starting as an entry level employee. Although I'm much younger than upper management, I'm treated as a peer.",
"The stories from stage hands and musicians who shared the festival circuits with Dolly are full of tales of her generosity, her wicked sense of humor and street and business smarts . Legend.",
"You should listen to her album “coat of many colors”, its her best work front to back imo.",
"I would love to see pictures of dolly wearing normal stuff and no wig.\n\nJust to know her thing.\n\nMaybe I've met her and never knew it.",
"Walters is such a smug person in this interview. Dolly is nothing other than a large breasted, country singing, bumpkin to her. The world will miss Dolly Parton a heck of a lot more than Barbara Walters.",
"That means crossing the line with a question to get a valuable answer. Not shill for Hollywood and shut down your guest.",
"Nobody knows what it means. But it's provocative. It gets the people going.\n\nEdit: https://youtu.be/sh0IBg7GBeY?t=30s",
"She is very self aware and has a good understanding of her emotions, the emotions of others and how to handle them. How she is able to explain her views and actions that are very different from the way most people view the world or act, and she does it in a way that is easily relatable.",
"Understands emotions, its the counterpart to something like academic intelligence. IQ and EQ are the 'standard' measurements. Basically means she's empathetic",
"She really is. Its a shame all the flak she got in the 70's/80's regarding how she chose to express herself.",
"yes.",
"I think it means someone that's strong enough to overcome their emotions.",
"Which one",
"I can not stand country music. I've never liked it and will likely never like it, but Dolly is amazing.",
"Emotional intelligence is an understanding of feelings that come up in various situations, and why they come up. It's helpful to being able to respond in a constructive way when negative feelings come up, understanding other people and how to avoid upsetting them (particularly if you need to give them feedback), and understanding (so you can communicate it) what you need out of a healthy relationship.",
"People aren't thrilled that she basically told Corey Feldman that his reporting on the pedophilia in Hollywood is damaging to the industry, as opposed to sympathizing with him. You know, because he was one of the numerous kids that have been sexually abused and assaulted in Hollywood.",
"That boy needs therapy",
"Go listen to Dolly’s version of stairway to heaven",
"It’s all about taste and preference, so arguing about it is pointless.\n## \nThat said, I’ve always been weary when people say they don’t like an entire genre of music. I usually assume they haven’t listened to enough of that genre to see the bright spots.",
"FYI, Dolly has been married to Carl Dean for 55 years now.",
"\"It takes a lot of time and money to look this cheap, honey\"\n\n-Dolly Parton",
"I find country absolutely mind numbingly bland, especially everything that a non fan comes across. \n\nDolly is absolutely amazing!",

"Interesting what she said about her marriage at the end. She's still with her husband after 55 years.",
"Actually go watch what she says to Feldman. She wants Corey, after 15+ years (at that point) of claiming there's a giant pedophile ring operating in Hollywood, to finally name anybody who's a part of it. She's upset that by him not naming people, he's painting basically *all of Hollywood* as pedophiles. Is it Tom Hanks? Is it Tom Cruise? Is it Burt Reynolds? It's complete bullshit that Feldman did that for literally 25+ years.\n\nFor the record, Cory Feldman only \"named names\" once those people had been arrested, then he'd claim they were part of the \"ring\", but it was always these bit character guys who acted in two episodes of Melrose Place or they owned a diner kids hung out at. Nobody famous outside of his Charlie Sheen accusation.\n\nCorey Feldman has been claiming he'd release the \"big\" names if enough people paid him to do so for a long time, because *\"he'll be blacklisted from Hollywood if he does it\"*, but Feldman hasn't acted in 20 fucking years, so what exactly does he have to lose?\n\nWalter's isn't the best interviewer, but people misconstrued what she said to him. She's just tired of hearing him say there's this awful pedophile ring operating in Hollywood and Corey Feldman is aware of, and yet he hasn't outed anybody participating in it, so by his logic, he's allowed 20+ years of kids to be abused while he protects the identity of the abusers. Also, none of these kids who are being abused have come forward.\n\n\\#MeToo fucked Corey Feldman's lies. It turns out there's zero repercussions for coming forward today, and that just about everybody will believe you, yet he still refuses to name names. He's a fucking conman.",
"Dolly is such an intelligent, confident, talented, and strong woman. We are blessed to have her.",
"I'm sorry, but Barbara Walters is a bitch",
"Going by that statement you mean to tell me you can't stand Tennessee Whiskey?",
"I assume what you mean by “non fan” is the garbage that is played on the radio. And you’d be right, it’s not only bland, it’s downright pandering trash.",
"The problem we have today is that we don't have that one reporter/interviewer that you can't avoid sitting down with. The type of interviewer who will not hold back, won't allow a safe place and will be upfront about asking uncomfortable questions. However, the reporter will be fair to you, they will allow you to talk but if you start going into nonsense they will shut it down. For example Gayle King shutting down R Kelly when he started losing it during the interview.\n\nNow everyone is too scared to do this because it will scare away potential guests. This has provided safe places for political figures, CEO's and Hollywood figures. Joe Rogan allows people to come on his show and say whatever the hell they want with little to no pushback. Its not an interview anymore, you're just giving your guest access to millions of people to ramble for 45 minutes. Certain politicians will only go on Fox News or CNN because they know they will treated in a certain way.",
"In case you're not joking, it's a real thing. For my dad, any feeling that wasn't happiness would turn into anger and outbursts. If you had any feeling that wasn't happiness, he dealt with it with anger. He may have been extremely intelligent, but he had absolutely no idea how to regulate his own or others' emotions, and in that regard, was a dumbass.",

It's not to say I hate all of it, I really like some songs from Sugarland, and Not Ready To Make Nice by the group formerly known as the Dixie Chicks is a great song, but much more \"pop\" than \"country.\"\n\nBut that's to say there are enough common themes across the genre that I don't find appealing, I'm not going to spend time listening to it in order to find those bright spots.\n\nCompared to hard rock, where a lot of the common themes *do* appeal to me, but there are absolutely songs and bands I don't like.",

"Just curious if you've tried older country music. I'm not a huge fan of it but it's far and away better than anything in country released within the last 30 years or so. Definitely don't confuse classic country with the stupid hick pop we have today. For instance I can quite enjoy some of the honky tonk, and some of it has interesting covers such as [Al Dexter's Pistol Packin' Mama](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Jd281xrAU) being sung by [Bing Crosby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjgqQcKE3DY). Classic country like [Hank Williams](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WXYjm74WFI) is far and away better than anything in the genre today and I can handle stuff as late as people like Merle Haggard. Once you get to rockabilly and folk stuff I tend to start branching off into groups like The Lovin' Spoonfuls that went towards pop and rock but kept their folk roots.\n\nI'm the same way with rap where I just absolutely can't stand modern rap and while I don't particularly like it I can definitely listen to and try to appreciate some of the classic stuff. I actually like plenty of jazz and blues that incorporates much of what ended up becoming rap.",

"For those who don't know, Dolly Parton is an incredibly prolific *songwriter*. I'm talking about loads and loads of songs, not just her own, and not just in her assumed genre. \n\nAnd since industry structures pay the songwriter as much as the performer, it has also made her incredibly rich, far more than what a famous country singer might be expected to have earned. \n\nShe quietly and humbly uses her immense wealth for various philanthropic purposes.",
"She was just tired of his whining of \"I'll tell everyone if they pay me\". Could've helped a lot of kids out, but instead it was all about Corey Feldman IF what he was saying was true at the time.\n\nI mean was there a lot of that kind of shit happening at the time and continues to happen today and also happened before he came around? Yes. Absolutely yes. But he did nobody any favors by saying \"It's happening, but I won't say by who, unless you give me money!\"",

That being said, there was a country guy did that the half time show of one of the Thanksgiving NFL games and he just reaffirmed my belief that there is a \"male country singer sound\" and almost all of them have it, they all sound basically the same. I think of it like how pilots like to speak like Chuck Yeager, country singers are all trying to sound like someone, I just don't know who it is.",

One of them was already a convicted sex offender.\n\n\nHe made accusations against Charlie Sheen also. He claimed Charlie Sheen abused Corey Haim but since Haim has passed away its only Feldman's word against Charlie Sheen.

"She's been on that list for decades, my man.",

"I prefer a country-folk modern style like Gregory Alan Isakov and Jason Isbell. The storytelling is great.",
"Barbra Waters has been married 4 times to 3 different people and at the time of the interview had just had her second divorce a year earlier.",
"She also gave out tens of thousands of dollars to families affected by the huge Gatlinburg fire. At one point she was giving $1000/mo to every family affected by the fire for about 6-9 months.",
"Hilarious knowing what a hoe bag Barbara Walters used to be",
"Actually, she asked \"do you ever feel that you're a joke, that people make fun of you?,\" so it's not literally what she asked. But even still, there's context to consider. She's asking about how she feels about her public perception, not actually calling her a joke.",
"Dolly is too pure for this world.",
"It’s completely true though. People won’t want to admit it because what’s fashionable tends to be what the majority is doing and the majority of people aren’t going to admit all they’re doing is following the herd, but that’s all fashion is. And like she says, being fashionable is easy. You just copy what everyone else is doing.",
"Country music can be divided into many different eras, but with regards to overall quality and/or authenticity, I divide country music into two eras: Pre-Shania’s *Come On Over* and post-Shania’s *Come on Over*. That album was actually released in different mix/masters, one “country” and one “pop.” That album REALLY blended country with pop, and every artist afterward had to either choose between a more “country” sound and missing out on mainstream appeal, or leaning toward a more “pop” sound and possible alienate their base or feel like they were selling out. \n\n(lots of things happened, then:)\n\nFlorida/Georgia Line released a single with fucking NELLY. Imagine Garth Brooks releasing a song featuring Ice-T in the early 90s. It never would have happened. But Shania made country as mainstream as possible, and it’s slowly just become pop music about fucking your cousin in a cornfield.",
"You're a nut, you're crazy in the coconut!",
"It’s clear that she’s all around intelligent.",

"Yeah I don’t think people understand how interviews work. They may come across as crass, which they are, but they were effective at getting the kind of answers that made for a great interview and that’s the whole goal. It also depends on who you’re asking. Obviously Dolly had no problem with them and I’m sure Barbara knew she wouldn’t, so they weren’t asked with malice. She’s also mostly bringing up things that other people say about her. This is what people say about you; here’s your chance to respond. Now we have a good idea of who Dolly actually is compared to what people say about her. It’s a fantastic interview.",
"I'll give them a listen. It's hard finding new music I actually enjoy, and for the most part feel like my interest in discovering music was gone by 25 so my usual listening habits are cemented in the stuff I listened to before and in college. Good to hear there's at least some worthwhile country music being released, though I somehow doubt they make it to radio.",
"Imagine Cardi B getting the same interview… 😂😂",
"The strength Barbara Walters has - and one of the reasons she's had such a long career - is she can ask questions that get as close to the line as possible and maybe even cross it, but she is able to do it in such a disarming way that you don't even notice. \n\nI mean, she basically asks Dolly, \"Are your tits real?\" which is obviously really rude to ask a woman, but she frames it in a way where she makes it sound like she's embarrassed to ask, and it's not really coming from her. Her \"assistant\" asked, and she \"wouldn't have the nerve otherwise\", but come on, she wouldn't have asked that question on national television if she really had any reservations about it. I'm sure Walters isn't taking suggestions for questions from her assistant, but she's smart enough to know just coming out and directly asking, \"Is that all you?\" would be something Dolly might take offense at, but this gives her the out of being able say it wasn't really from *her* and easily shift gears to empathize with Dolly's offense to keep the interview going.\n\nI'm not going to say I like Walters, but I don't think it's any accident she has had a career that spans decades and has involved her interviewing pretty much everyone. She knows how to get what she wants from her guest and how to ask questions other interviewers might not be able to get away with asking while still keeping the guest at ease.",

Walters hasn't ever had any problem punching down on interviewees if she thought the audience or the network would cheer along the beating. \n\nI'm not saying this is the 100% cause for her being an absolute piece of shit to Dolly, but it definitely played into it.\n\n>Dolly is such a class act.\n\nShe really is.",

It's hard to appreciate just how domineering and male driven the music industry was in that era. Dolly was sharp as a whip and knew how to work those who were trying to manipulate her. I mean just look at this interview in the post... she oozed charisma. And this doesn't even scratch the surface. Incredibly intelligent, morally uncompromising, and boy can she sing. And guys.. I mean my god, does it need to be said? Dolly in her prime was a fucking smokeshow -- the woman is beauty in motion.

"She's been in the public spotlight for decades and by all accounts just seems like a class act. Hell- look at this interview with Walters. Bitch spends the whole time trying to make Dolly look like she's low class and only succeeds in making her look clever while making herself look like an asshole.",
"That fake transatlantic accent is so sad. Walters is such an asshole.",
"She spouted that thoughtless comment because Corey Feldman would lazily throw out blanket accusations whenever he wanted to get back into the limelight to promote some dumb project he was working on. He could have named names years and years ago, instead he eventually decided to cash in on it, and when he finally hinted that he'd reveal it in his ridiculously named doc, “My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys” he charged 20 bucks for the right to stream it online, and then fumbled around to even deliver that. Barbara Walters is a smarmy jackass, but she was calling out a grifter.",

My best friend growing up was considered “hillbilly”. Nicest family ever. I grew up what most would considered blue collar trash compared to my mom’s side and a boss i worked for. Her dad was an admiral in the navy so she grew up higher class. She also was a dumb bitch.",

"Drive By Truckers is good, Honeyhoney is mostly country and mostly good.",
"Was about to start quoting some Kanye, but then remembered that song is 90% the n word",
"Dolly cast the die that made Lady Gaga possible. Mark my words, Gaga will be the next “joke” that we continue to appreciate more as time goes on. They both have talent oozing from every pore, both have carefully-crafted public personas and, as a result, largely non-existent personal lives as far as the rest of us are concerned. It’s brilliant, really. Be so publicly out there that you’re left alone privately.",
"Orville Peck is great. Love me some Nick Shoulders too.",
"Barbara’s interview skills are really bad",
"Jolene is a jam though",
"When the fires in the Smokies wiped out so many families life’s Dolly really stepped up and helped out her community and the people in need. Dolly is a legend here in East TN. She’s done so much for the whole region.",
"She's also invested wisely in other businesses - Dollywood (a theme park with 3 million annual visitors, on par with many other big-name parks around the country) is the obvious example but far from the only one.",
"Thank you for the link, I actually liked it.",
"Barbara Walters was named in court. The same lady you’ve been defending this entire time.",
"There’s a reason people disliked baba waters earlier in her career. This is an example of why.",
"I second this. I dont listen to country and only knew her name because she's famous. Amazing podcast, listened to the first episode cause a friend insisted, and got hooked.",
"Yeah fair point.\n\nHer delivery was open to misinterpretation though.\n\nGood analysis of it you did though",
"Everybody should listen to this at least once. It's such a laid back, humorous, informative, wholesome and heartwarming podcast. I found it just had that certain something that hooked me from the start, gave me some really sweet stories, interviews and some new perspectives and a whole new appreciation for Dolly Parton and her influence on others. \n\nEasily in the top 5 for a casual listen.",
"I don't know a lot about Barbara Walters, but if we're talking about just this video I would have to disagree. I think she realizes that this is one of the few opportunities many people have to gain insight into a world that most people think they know, but actually don't. \n\n\nShe's giving Dolly an opportunity to talk about her culture and herself, where she grew up, what helped make her who she is. By asking \"are you a hillbilly?\" Barbara is also giving Dolly an opportunity to dispel the notions people might have when they hear that word, and Dolly seizes on that eloquently.",
"I’m not a country music fan but Jolene and I Will Always Love You still hit hard",
"I have the opposite feeling, zero chance we find out she’s done something extremely bad. She’s human, so maybe some poor choices, but no way she has gone really bad without someone saying something.",
"Now that’s true class! I love you Dolly!",
"I thought Gaga was already better understood and appreciated. At least for me since her duets with Tony Bennett, she’s been letting more of the layers behind her persona come through. Her acting career is still confusing but clearly a wonderful human",
"I'd personally draw that line at Garth Brooks.",
"Thanks to her get-up on stage she can basically go through normal life anonymously. It is an incredible move by her.",
"Dolly 2024?!",

"I lost ALL respect for her when she defended the Hollywood molesters when Corey Feldman tried to out them. As a woman in media since the 50s she KNOWS how fucked up shit is behind scenes\n\nEdit: I guess I should have clarified. I was talking about her immediate response after his claims on the show about how it would damage the industry. I interpreted that as taking people down would harm Hollywood and she didn’t want that.",
"I don’t think anyone is saying that, though. Walters is the one who brought up the expected longevity of Parton’s marriage. So that same intrusive and condescending approach is brought back to Walters - only fair.",
"Charley Crockett and Nick Shoulders are great too.",
"Dunno. He's super poppy when you compare it to earlier country. He absolutely caught some heat for it at the time too. He's what made it possible for Twain to do what she did.",

"Barbara Walters was named along literally everybody else who ever flew on one of Epstein's airplanes. Federal authorities are speaking with anybody with even a loose association with Epstein to find out if they were witnesses to his depravity.\n\nAgain, I'm not defending Walters, I'm just pointing out what a big piece of shit Corey Feldman is.",

"why did anyone ever like barbara walters?",
"Dolly Partin is a saint, and a model American.\n\nBarbara Walters is a piece of shit, a nasty provocateur, and a whore of the kleptocracy.",
"Damn, that was amazing. \n\nThe rasp in his voice and the way it sounded like Jolene had already taken his man was almost too much. \n\nI can see why she liked it!",

"Except she is on a whole other level of beauty, that is an amazing naturally beautiful woman.\n\nI do get what you're saying but the resemblance is in passing alone.",
"Man Barbara Walters was a bitch. Dolly is so smart.",
"Every question was phrased in a way as to imply that Dolly is somehow a lesser person than her public-facing image. When in fact, Dolly is exactly who she portrays herself to be.\n\nThis interview perfectly shows why being a good and honest person is the ultimate weapon against critics. People can't call you on your bullshit if you're not slinging any.",
"Sorry…rude “question”…surely it should be rude “questions” - every one of those seemed rude!!",
"Where is the rudeness?....",
"Dolly Parton is pure class. A genuinely sweet and kind, a self-assured but modest person who goes out of her way to help others.\n\nAll of the questions from Walters were kinda insulting, imo. They weren't interesting or thought-provoking, seemed like she was just desperately trying to get her to say something they could use as a scoop or quote out of context.",
">\"Are you a dumb hick?\"\n\nShe's not calling her a dumb hick, she's asking Dolly to talk about the misconceptions \"someone like me\" might have about someone like Dolly. The whole interview is Barbara allowing Dolly to correct the record on what people think of her",
"She dug back to Barbara’s dumb questions. \n\nShe insulted her upbringing, career, and looks. Dolly threw it all back in her face. \n\nShe said she can wear the makeup because she’s secure with who she is. The camera pans to Barbara’s barely makeup wearing pissed face.",
"Sounds like a good cast for a wholesome heist movie called National Treasure 4",
"I don't listen to Dolly's music, but I think she's awesomely talented. More importantly, she is just an awesome human being - one of the best out there among the people I only know because of their celebrity.",
"Barbara Walters is the \"queen\" of democrats? Are you recovering from your coma well?",
"you’ve answered a question i’ve had for a long time but never knew where to ask. Didn’t know that songwriters get just as much as the artist",
"Kind of a misleading title. It’s a good interview because it elicits such a strong response. Because of those questions, I learned something about Dolly Parton I hadn’t known.",
"Dolly Parton is cool. Barbara Walters is human shit.",
"If you have not listened to it yet, Dolly Partons America on NPR is fantastic.\n\n[https://www.npr.org/podcasts/765024913/dolly-parton-s-america](https://www.npr.org/podcasts/765024913/dolly-parton-s-america)\n\nI cannot recommend it enough. Also Dolly rocks! I had a daughter two years ago and every month she mails her a free book to our house! My daughter now asks to check the mail every day waiting for her books! \n\nShe is an incredible person!",
"She wrote fucking Jolene and I Will Always Love You in one day. And even if that's a bit apocryphal and they were both done in a short period of time, it's damned amazing",
"Dolly is so gracious/kind/intelligent and really took the high road over and over again here. I’m sure she wouldn’t care for this but Barbara was acting like a real cunt.",
"Just listened to it and I thought it wasn't amazing, but it was decent. I wouldn't call it bad at all. Curious what makes you think it was beyond awful?",
"The point is that in hindsight, the question makes Barbara look like she has egg on her face.",
"9 to 5 is overplayed but it absolutely slaps.",
"It's this.",
"Npr did a whole series on dolly loosely based around the notion that you honestly can't find a single person who has anything bad to say about her, and that she's universally found to be a good person.",
"I’d even say it goes deeper. People have always worshiped idols. Now they’re made of glossy paper instead of wood or jade.",
"You don't have to enjoy Dolly Parton's music to appreciate what a great human she is.",
"I'm not sure that Joe Rogan fancies himself an interviewer though.\n\nAs for Barbara Walters in this interview- her style reminds me quite a bit of Howard Stern here and I don't think she was nearly as insulting as others are suggesting.",
"Love her love her love her.\n\nDolly is the best. Anyone who underestimates her is an idiot.",
"Everybody seem to have a negative response to his cover in the comments which made me believe that the cover was over the top (not that that would have been bad either but people tend to hate that). But when listening to it, holy fuck was it extremely sincere. One might argue it was a little too safe but I think you can tell the sincerity in not only how he sang but his butterfly necklace. A genuine understanding of the artist and the source material. I really can’t understand the hate besides the obvious religious one.",
"Nobody's perfect.",
"She’s a winner in my book, hallmark movies and all.",
"Looking back at old Barbara Walters interviews, she often comes across as a total bitch.",
"Insert ronswansonthrowingcomputerindumpster.gif",
"I liked it, and it does sound like he's about to lose her.",
"I don’t agree with the OP’s comment, but your reply is a special kind of asshole-ish response. I’m a liberal. That does not make me inherently better than anybody. I do think my beliefs are generally correct, or I wouldn’t believe in them. But I am not better as a person than a “redneck” just because they’re a redneck.",
"Your right that she’s skilled, but she is still a jerk. I don’t think one dissolves the other in any meaningful way. If she was interviewing a politician about something important, those tactics would be more redeeming. But she was talking to a singer, it was unnecessary. The same way impressive swordsmanship stops being redemptive if you’re stabbing a parrot.",
"Every time I've ever checked this it says it's unavailable in my area. Do I have bad timing or is there something about where I live being anti-Dolly?",

"It's cool that you have a wide and eclectic appreciation for music, but don't shame people for not liking everything. People just have preferences, and that's ok.",

"Not only is he gay, he’s ***black.*** 😱",
"Case closed folks. They were nobodies.",
"Good lord, what an extraordinarily good example of a human being.\n\nI’ll have whatever she’s having!",
"But Dolly seems very happy in her 55 year marriage whereas Barbara is obviously miserable in all hers because she keeps getting divorced. \n\nDolly: \"My husband gives me freedom\" \nBarbara: Then why even get married at all?\n\nBarbara obviously has no idea what she is doing. Dolly knows what she wants and has it.\n\nI say this as someone with a vow to never be married at all. I feel that makes me a better happier person. But if I were the marrying kind I would want to be like Dolly.",
"That’s just alphabetical order tho",
"It's also worth checking out the Country Side of Harmonica Sam, Jason Eady, James McMurtry, Mike and the Moonpies, and Jessie Daniel. All modern takes on some older form of country and can lead you to artists similar to them.",
"If I’ve said it once I’ll say 100 more times, Dolly is a goddamn Queen and she doesn’t get the love and respect she deserves.",
"Frig off Barb...",
"I strongly believe there’s no such thing as bad music. Sure, there’s music I don’t care for, but all genres have something that’s worthwhile.",
"I saw an interview with her where she said she made more money off the rights than she did singing it.",
"You forgot the most important, nice as fuck.",
"\"I got vaccinated because I'm old enough and I'm smart enough\" - Dolly Parton, recently.",
"I love the fact that she grew up and was raised an hour away from where I grew up and was raised.\n\nWhen people say Tennesseans are nothing but ignorant racist hicks, all I have to say is what about Dolly Parton?... Shuts them right up. I love her, and I'm proud to call her an ambassador of our state.",
"When / why did Republicans try to cancel her?\n\nAnd leftists/woke are the ones famous for \"safe spaces\".",
"Then she went on to inspire the human rights movement of females from a homosexual egg laying alien civilization.",
"Everyone in my mom's family is from TN. Some of them have personally met Dolly.\n\nYou're right, none of them have anything to say about her that isn't respectful and sincere. She's the real deal human being, even thought she ended up with the kind of money that can ruin many \"normal\" people.",
"Now see there, I agree",
"I don't disagree, but there have also been attacks from the left. [Here's](https://longreads.com/2018/10/16/living-with-dolly-parton/) one such article, which was then amplified by Vox. E.g.\n\n>Dolly Parton has built her empire on and with the debris of old, racist amusements and wrapped it in working-class signifiers and feminist politics.\n\nI think both are just examples of how negativity-fueled our media is today. She's popular, she's beloved: what could be more attention-getting than trying to tear her down?",
"Dolly Parton is deserving of every possible statue we can build of her.",
"They have been married since 1966 and he doesn't have a wikipedia page. He is the patron saint of househusbands. He is my goal in live. Marry a top tier hot smart women, that travels for work, makes a lot of money so I can stay at home and just cook stuf and perfect it for when she is home. Then spoil the nephews and nieces and live a fun live.",
"Barbara Walters is a scumbag. Good riddance.",
"She wrote those on the same day.",
"One difference between that Gaga's parents were loaded and could ease her into the industry of her choice. Dolly dragged her whole family - and consequently many others in Pigeon Forge - out of poverty, singlehandedly. She was the family's main breadwinner barely into her teens. Everything Dolly got, she earned through hard work, determination, and *outrageous* talent. We are so lucky to be living in the same era as her, when we can appreciate her best.",
"People consistently misunderstand the job of an interviewer like her. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm a fan of Walters by any means. However there's a point to these interviews. And it gives the interviewee the calm chance to speak to some of these things people harass them about.",
"Really loved how smooth his voice was during that song but I agree with you that he probably played it safe compared to his normal self.",
"Barbara Walters, always a cunt, forever and always. Fuck her. Her legacy is totally tarnished and she is a massive piece of shit. She is a classless cunt through and through.",
"Oh, but she blamed the fake boobs one on a mysterious staffer, so that one was okay.",
"It is absolutely criminal that you didn't include [Doc Watson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCl1emxubWM) in your list of old country worth listening to. He is an absolutely phenomenal (and groundbreaking) guitarist and a great voice (even in this clip when he's deep into his 60s).\n\nIf you're looking for new music, there was some pretty awesome \"Americana\" (gothic country) stuff going on in the 90s/00s.\n\n* David Eugene Edwards (in general) and more specifically [16 Horsepower](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcg5WnShwHQ) were amazing. Super intense and powerful live, and ranged from beautiful ballads to banging songs about cattle rustling, prostitutes, and damnation.\n\n* A little more tongue in cheek and fun (also an absolutely amazing live show if you ever get a chance to see them) is [Slim Cessna's Auto Club](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hDRxBpyHbc)\n\n* Devotchka, Wovenhand, and The Denver Gentlemen all came out of the same Denver Scene.",
"I feel like you're just giving her too much credit.\n\nIn the same year she also shamed Mia Farrow for accusing Woody Allen of sexually assaulting her children.\n\nShe retired that year. A book came out not too long ago where is showed she just treated everyone [like shit](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6899785/Friends-aghast-View-expos-depicts-ailing-Barbara-Walters-cutthroat.html) except of course... Harvey Weinstein.... a personal friend of hers.",
"I think there are a lot of sub-genres and I hate how they bundle all the “beer, trucks, & boobs” songs with still like Dolly.",
"An artist that's been critically acclaimed for the last decade will continue to be appreciated. Bold take.",
"I don’t think she feels ridiculous in her clothes and make up. I think she enjoys it and enjoys dressing up… but she turned it into a brand when she realized she could have fun even if people mocked her for it. Because she’s laughing all the way to the bank. She’s smart AND talented, she uses her shtick, she isn’t the shtick.",
"I love Lady Gaga, her album with Tony Bennett, cheek to cheek, is awesome. \n\nBut carefully crafted public personas.... Really?. I don't ever remember seeing a picture of Dolly licking another woman's pussy",
"Im just saying that being in one marriage doesn make you better than someone whose been in 4, and it's judgemental as fuck to insinuating that you're you're a worse person for being married more than once.",
"It helps that country musicians back in the day tended to release multiple covers of the same songs. And it also helps that some of her songs were megahits. Until Diana died and that [putrid Elton John remake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9rLDCfO6o) took the crown, Dolly was part of [the #1 selling single](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JWTaaS7LdU) of all time.",
"Dolly Parton is a beautiful human being, inside and out. She has become successful by lifting up other people and helping them in whatever way she can.\n\nBarbara Walters is a shit stain of a human being, inside and out. She has become ~~successful~~ wealthy by tearing people apart and exposing whatever shit she can find.",
"So I always assumed Barbara Walters was nice but everything I've seen about her in the last 10 years makes me think she's always been a cunt?",
"She is a truly one of those gifts to the world that don’t exist in large numbers. Mister Rodgers, Mr. Burton, Bob Ross.",
"They also tried to cancel her because she funded the Moderna vaccine",
"> Its a shame all the flak she got in the 70's/80's regarding how she chose to express herself.\n\nShe absolutely knew what she was doing, though, and used it to her advantage. The Ken Burns Country Music episode featuring her rise to fame underlined that. She's uncannily savvy as a businesswoman.",

"Lol you ok?",
"Dolly Parton is a goddamn national treasure.",
"Lesser known fact: she's got a bunch of tattoos",
"Yea for sure. It was a live cover in one of those “in the studio” style things. Not exactly like he threw it on an album. He probably could crush it even more if it was going to be album ready. I saw nothing wrong with it.",
"Sounds like you are taking that personally. No one is judging you but yourself. No worries. Breathe",
"She also helped fund vaccine research during the creation of the covid vaccine. Apparently she funded the development of a vaccine test for moderna. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/03/03/973240792/from-jolene-to-vaccine-dolly-parton-gets-covid-19-shot-she-helped-fund",

"I wish I loved anything as much as you love Dolly Parton.",
"I thought the cover was pretty good",

"I truly hope that Barbara Walters is remembered as the disgusting person that she was.",

"I mean. For the years of buildup he finally released some names and they were people who had very brief careers in Hollywood. With the amount of time he spent building up this huge pedophile ring you were expected names at level like Weinstein. Instead you got people who literally have four credits to their name on IMDB. Its still awful and wrong what those people did but it wasn't this huge bombshell people were expecting.",
"Why are you making this political? Sounds like you don’t feel safe? Dolly is awesome, quit projecting your nonsense into the thread.",
"What a disgusting interview Barbra Walters has zero class. How could you even speak to someone like that?",
"Oscar Wilde turned in his grave.",
"Wow that was so blatantly rude, insulting, and condescending but Dolly took it with class and impeccable composure.",
"I’m foggy on the details but after “The Bodyguard” soundtrack took off on the charts Dolly won an award for “I Will Always Love You” which she wrote and thanked Whitney Houston for making her a very wealthy person in her speech.",
"Plenty of traditional country had great storytelling, too. [Lefty Frizzell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50k18gL76AU) and [Marty Robbins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWm5WErkffQ) were famous for their story songs.",
"No she didn't. lol",
"I want to slap the ever-livin-shit out of Barbara Walters (so called leader of women's journalism - UGH!) spending the entire interview focused on Dolly's physical attributes rather than her amazing talent and genuine kindness. And Dolly comes out on top, per usual. Dolly, you're my hero!",
"She's great. Has and continues to do so much for everyone! Great heart!",
"You’re not wrong, but public perception and critical acclaim are different. Ask 100 people on the street the first thing they think of when they hear “Lady Gaga” and 90 or so will say some crazy shit like meat dress.

In this case, Barbara Walters was simply trolling for a reaction. \n\nShe wanted to make Dolly mad and get press out of it. \n\nEach time Dolly skillfully deflected one of Barbara’s troll attempts Barbara went in for another shot. But Dolly had more stamina and lasted through it. \n\nAnd let’s remember, it’s not like she was interviewing some person in power about controversial decisions that harmed people or something. She wasn’t interviewing a president about a war. \n\nShe was asking Dolly Parton about her clothes, her body, her style, her marriage, and her community. There was no journalistic reason to continually take shots at Dolly like that.",

It’s clean, safe and the lack of alcohol provides a safe and healthy environment for children.\nMy hat will always be off to this amazingly tasteful lady.",
"It’s possible to “ask the real questions” and dig deeply into who a person is without coming off as a such disrespectful bitch. She was so condescending to Parton as to be outright insulting about her background, appearance, and even her body. It made Walters, herself, seem like an ignorant, prejudiced fool— especially in contrast to Parton’s responses and in the context of the discussion. \n\nThere are plenty of ways to get what she needed without mistreating her subjects so terribly. That’s not talented interviewing, that’s hackery.",
"Although the questions are patronizing, people give journalists crap if they just ask soft ball questions. What does the public know about dolly at this time, so Barbra hit on all those points the public was probably interested in hearing a response to. Dolly held her own throughout the interview and it was prob topics she has heard many times before.",

"> I wasn’t aware of the family money\n\nGoogled for confirmation: *Gaga has said her family wasn't wealthy, but they certainly did well for themselves. Her father owned an Internet company and her mother was, at one point, a Verizon V.P., New York Magazine has reported, enabling the family to send her and her sister to elite private schools in New York City.*\n\nThe other big one is Taylor Swift. Again, I'm impressed with her talent (that Cardigan album is terrific) but her parents' money absolutely greased the wheel to get her into the industry:\n\n*Her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is a former stockbroker for Merrill Lynch; her mother, Andrea Gardner Swift (née Finlay), is a former homemaker who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive... To help Swift break into country music, her father transferred to Merrill Lynch's Nashville office when she was 14 years old, and the family relocated to a lakefront house in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Swift initially attended Hendersonville High School before transferring to the Aaron Academy after two years, which could better accommodate her touring schedule through homeschooling.*",
"Barbara Walters was a hag.",
"I think it being unnecessary depends on perspective. An interviewer's job isn't just asking questions, but asking questions you think your audience would want asked to get the answers they're interested in hearing so they tune in. Walters established herself as an interviewer worth watching because of the reasons I mentioned above. It wasn't just about disarming the guest, but also the audience.\n\nI'm not saying the questions aren't rude and a little trashy, but you can't deny that these are the sorts of questions people likely had about Dolly at the time that they were interested in Dolly answering. And Walter was able to ask them in a way that was cordial and joking and almost came across as two friends just having a conversation which brought out the best responses from Dolly than had she gone in with a more confrontational or matter-of-fact approach. And it got the audience, advanced Walters' career, and helped show a side to Dolly most people hadn't seen.",
"I love how honest and real she is. The interview questions were tacky at best and very offensive at worst. Dolly answered them with class and not even a hint of annoyance. I'm so impressed. I wish I could be half as reserved and cool under those conditions.",

Pretend that these things don't exist and make small talk about her hometown and her latest album and her charity work? Just accept as genuine all of the persona that showbusiness projects about a person? Reminds me of late night shows.

This is giving Dolly a chance to address these ideas and tell more about her story. Asking her about her body was pretty common. Part of what made her so recognizable is her very intentional image. Again, its giving Dolly a chance to talk about how much of herself was a crafted image versus her natural self.

The world was really conservative back then, Regan and Thatcher were just around the corner, the world was still in The process of unwinding centuries of colonialism and casual brutality to the fellow man. Literally the only people who knew of a world without widespread colonialism were the babies who were born at that time. the Cold War was still raging, and nuclear annihilation was on everyone’s mind. School districts in the US were still in the process desegregating. Golf courses that Tiger Woods would win big on didn’t allow black people when this interview was taken. Things were really different back then.  There was still a lot of places in rural areas where, due to religious reasons, women didn’t wear pants, they had to wear ankle length dresses. So seeing someone like Dolly Parton had the effect of like sticking a cattle prod up their ass. I think you could say she was just as outrageous to the rural south as punk rockers were to New York, at least as far as some people were concerned. \n\nYou can see in the interview she addresses the fact that there were a lot of conservative people who loved to hate her because she was *different.*\n\nIt’s hard to see now because the world has change so much but I would argue Dolly Parton in her own special unique and charming way was, at that time as much an iconoclast to her cultural group as the Beatles were to mainstream society and made a significant contribution in shifting cultural norms towards greater openness and acceptance.",

Her \"assistant\" asked, and she \"wouldn't have the nerve otherwise\", but come on, she wouldn't have asked that question on national television if she really had any reservations about it. I'm sure Walters isn't taking suggestions for questions from her assistant, but she's smart enough to know just coming out and directly asking, \"Is that all you?\" would be something Dolly might take offense at, but this gives her the out of being able say it wasn't really from *her* and easily shift gears to empathize with Dolly's offense to keep the interview going.\n\nYou're impressed by her acting embarrassed, having a scapegoat ready and claiming the controversial or pressing questions came from someone else (don't blame me)?\n\nFrom my perspective that's not exactly talent..",

"I don’t like her music. It sounds whiny and corny to me (except Jolene, which is a truly haunting melody).\n\nBut while listening to my NPR app one day, the podcast Dolly Parton’s America came on. I listened to all 10 episodes, and I do not think there is a public figure alive or dead as admirable as she. She taught me that there is truly only one way to inspire other people, and that the way to do it isn’t to be impressive, nor is it to tell other people that they can follow and achieve their dreams — rather, it is simply to be yourself. Because there is nothing more inspiring and liberating as to see someone else allowing themselves to be who they are. What greater permission can you possibly receive to be yourself than to see someone else giving themselves permission to do the same? There is only one person who can inspire you, and that is yourself, by actually paying attention to your own wants and needs and interests and desires and following them. But you can’t know what they *truly* are unless you allow yourself to know what they are, and the only way to know what they are is to be yourself and me feel them. Feelings motivate, quite literally. You act in response to them. They put you in motion. But you can’t have them by imitating someone else or listening to what they have to say. You need simply to be them yourself, have them yourself, snd find out who you are.\n\nBut I still don’t like her music.",

"He didn't even allege that it was himself whom Sheen assaulted, he alleged it about a deceased person. My original point was that Feldman has built up this promised bombshell that was supposed to drop about this vast ring of child abusers involving big people at the top of the industry. The reason why that is important is because he is suggesting this ring exists, A, and B, is being covered up by the industry in general. What he ended up producing by and large is a list of a few incidents that allegedly happened with bit-part actors.

So again, was he lying or exaggerating about the vastness of the phenomenon, or is he allowing them to potentially continue victimizing?

Consequently, every generation of country music has folks talking trash about how the new stuff isn't real country music.\n\nBut yeah, I am saddened by the direction most of the genre has taken in the past 20 years.",

Even when victims come forward immediately they're treated like shit, it gets covered up etc. Look at how long it took to take down Weinstein, or Larry Nassar\n\nI won't be surprised if there's video or photographic evidence given to strengthen this case, honestly I hope their case is stronger than what you've described so far but, I'll definitely try to check out the testimonies unless you want to summarize more lol",
"Your argument is that Feldman promised to uncover a vast conspiracy of childhood sex abuse and exploitation in Hollywood, and he has yet to deliver on his promise.\n\nHowever, you said yourself that he is \"suggesting that this ring exists and is being covered up by the industry.\" Would it not then follow that, perhaps, the most successful and powerful of the accused would be using their success and power to suppress Feldman's accusations? Let's remember he hasn't had a ton of commercial success in the past 20 years or so. They (if they are truly so powerful) definitely have much more money to throw at their lawyers than he does.\n\nYou frame it as though making these accusations is easier than it is. If it were, R Kelly would have been caught and prosecuted years ago. Kevin Spacey would not have had the success he has had. Dan Schneider would probably be in jail now. Rich and powerful people/corporations that back them don't operate under the same justice system.\n\nFraming Feldman's inability to produce verifiable claims of abuse by prominent members of Hollywood's elite as \"affording them the opportunity to continue the abuse\" is victim blaming horse shit.\n\nI'm not sure why this is striking such a nerve with me tonight. I'm not particularly a big fan of his. He hasn't had a significant acting role in at least a decade and has attempted a fairly cringy \"music\" career since then. I think I'm just sick of seeing people put down one of the only celebrities who has consistently spoken out about this for decades.",

Then you describe how it goes down in this instance and it's just by absolving herself of any responsibility....\n\nThat's just not a great way to backup your claim that she was great at pushing the boundaries in interviews.

And this gives her a platform, a major stage, to answer those questions and prove how ridiculous they are. And the way she does it immediately reveals how pathetic those views of her are. To me that's a damn fine interview. Dolly comes out looking amazing and you get to see a side of her that you never get to see if you only ask the trite boring questions. You get to see how thoughtful and kind and intelligent she is. I don't know I just don't think this is as much a dunk on Barbara Walters as people think it is.",

(Corey wanted to be paid to name names). \n\nBW often does the 4d chess thing and people assume she is speaking from personal bias… but she didn’t get to be a premier interviewer based on some vague personality, her whole thing was to be a chameleon that teased out the most important things about people. \n\nShe does this in this interview with dolly by intentionally embodying the sexist, puritan power structure that Dolly Parton contrasted so well with. \n\nThe reason Dolly gets to shine is that Barbara plays the part of the critic.

"While I agree that measures of intelligence are bound by cultural and logistical limitations which undermine validity across all demographics, I don’t think that the construct of intelligence itself is BS.\n\nThe intelligence quotient may be one (poor or limited) way of measuring this construct, but it is measuring something. I guess I find it important to identify and categorize characteristics that contribute to “intelligence”:\n\nMemory recall\nVisual-Spatial ability\nInformation Processing\nCreativity\nEtc…\n\nI see Empathy and reflection as tangible skills that can be honed and practices. Emotional intelligence is supposedly the construct that determines a person’s ability to do stuff with feelings experienced by themselves and others.\n\nI know this is a long winded response, but I think back to a time where I worked with an incarcerated juvenile with “low intelligence.” I wondered if the punishment he faced for his crime should take into consideration his (relatively lower) cognitive functioning. I also wondered if any consideration for modification of punishment should take place if his cognitive deficits were a result of illicit drug use.\n\nI asked myself these questions because I think the meting of justice should account for factors like “intelligence.” I also asked myself this because people voluntarily do things which negatively impact their “intelligence” or cognition.\n\nIdk. Anyway, saying intelligence is BS kind of undermines the purpose of those questions altogether.

"Yeah I would. And also movies. ;)",
"This is a parody of the \"You wouldn't steal a car\" ads back in the early 2000's that claimed that downloading a movie or game off the internet was as bad as stealing, and the fact that the \"digital ownership certificate\" of an NFT literally just contains a fucking web link to the image itself, which is hosted on whatever you want and has 0 guarantee of uptime or ownership of that upload URL so the entire concept of an NFT is stupid since you could make an NFT of the same image or a slightly modified version of the same image very trivially\n\nScreenshotting an NFT is not actually illegal. In the original ad, the law relevant would be the DMCA but that obviously does not apply to NFT's",
"If I could download a Lambo, I'd have a different colour for each day of the week!",
"Wait. This is half in and out of a time machine.\n\nThey're video stores that aren't porn stores? They're are glass TV's worth stealing? They're are pirates that use that old version of Windows? They're are pirates that use CRT monitors?",
"All of this was stuff relevant since this is a real anti-piracy ad from the early 2000's. The piracy they're talking about is like limewire, kazaa, napster, etc. era piracy at like 10 bytes per second, not modern day stuff like IPTV or torrenting, well before online video was a thing. \n\nAlso CRT monitors and glass TVs are valuable again lol since good CRT's are valued by retro enthusiasts and Smash Meelee players for some reason",

"Quick, make the screenshot of the screenshot in this video into an NFT, then sell it and screenshot to steal it. Then print out a screenshot of this comment alongside the screenshot of the NFT you stole and sell it on eBay.\n\nNow this is Art.",
"That's the point, it doesn't make sense. \n\nThat's not how this meme works either. The old meme is joking around that if you wouldn't copy A (the car... which you couldn't) so why would you copy B (which you could)? \n\nIn this use, both a and b can't be copied. The format doesn't work, unless you don't understand how NFTs work and you think you can. \n\nSo using this meme format makes OP look like he is clueless about how NFTs work and how the original meme worked.",

"I wonder what woke him up because we need to put that shit in the water supply.",
"I don't think anything woke him up per say. I think their message got warped onto something else and he was fine with it when he was young because of the popularity and the money. Bit then later realized the gravity of what they started and helped and is not regretting it and helped cement a movement he never believed in.",
"Yeah, but money and fame can corrupt. I would think there had to be a moment that changed him. I guess maybe he saw the message wasn’t anything but to get people elected, and that the people he was getting elected didn’t really believe the message. I’ll look into this guy more and find out.\n\nWhat’s interesting now is the possibility is real that Roe v. Wade could be overturned with a conservative SCOTUS for a long time, as Dems don’t seem hip on expanding the court.\n\nR v. W has been a tent pole issue for the GOP. If overturned, it’s catastrophic for the rights of women, but it also an issue that somewhat leaves the table. I also think the idea of being “fiscally conservative” might be gone as well. It certainly was under Trump. I think more people now understand that means to “protect the rich.” Tax breaks are not really fiscally conservative.",
"This person, for me, is preaching to the choir. I understand, and agree with what he is saying, but I don't think it will convince someone on the other side.",
"I still don't understand why people want to interfere with some strangers life. Like if somebody else does or does not have a kid it has zero impact on you.",
"It's either because they are cunts or because they think you are killing a human being, it's probably not that they are against personal choice in all scenarios.\n\nI think a lot of time is wasted with people being mystified with others' actions without the obvious self critique 'well if I wouldn't do that because of what I believe, perhaps they don't believe that'.\n\nI fully accept that many of that belief are idiots, many may be disingenuous, but many simply believe (perhaps for fatuous reasons) that abortion means killing a child. The argument that 'that does not affect them' is stupid and does not do the issue justice.",
"This isn't the full interview, is it?",
"Totally forgot about this show. Was expecting something funny, but instead kept it real.\n\nEdit: so apparently this show has been on for 7 seasons with new episodes airing in January 2022?! \n\nIt’s weird that I haven’t seen a clip from this show in ages. Does it just suck? Figured even if it sucked people here would still make fun of it.",
"Its weird because there is definitely more. This is the extended version as opposed to what aired on the show. But that version has totally different content in it. I wish they’d release a real *full* interview.",
"It’s waaaaay too late for that I am afraid. I agree with you but, it will fall on mostly deaf ears. We are far too corrupt for any real change to happen at this point with regards to his message.",
"He mentioned George W. Bush. I think for people like the speaker, this stuff was okay when they were the underdogs, when they were the put-upon minority. But then GW is elected, we end up in these horrible wars, tons of other bad policies, and he sounds like a complete idiot every time he opened his mouth. And these guys realized the fruits of what they’ve been pushing was a bitter fruit indeed. \n\nIn the post-Trump era, people forget about Bush. But at the time people hated him with all their heart and soul. Trump was clearly a much worse human being, but Bush, or at least the team he surrounded himself with, were far more effective at getting shit done than Trump was. And because of 9/11, Bush’s opposition was effectively hamstrung, so there was no real opposition to his shenanigans. \n\nIt did real damage. And the fact that he got away with it all, I think was a real reason all these Repubs who hate Trump were nevertheless ready to back him once he was in power.",
"It boils down to at what point do you consider a person a person.\n\nYou are against murdering people I presume? I bet you are against murdering children and probably babies even. Pretty much everyone is against killing a baby that has been birthed from a woman. We all agree, _that_ is a person for sure and nobody should be allowed to murder a person. Even if it's a person you will never meet, or affect your life in any way. So, if you think that 10 minutes before that baby was born, it was still a person and entitled to all the protections we give people. And then that line keeps on moving backwards. Is it the line of viability (when a baby is technically able to survive outside a womb)? Is it when the heartbeat starts? Is it conception? The line moves. And the line is about when a person is a person. You are against murdering people right? \n\nYour position _only_ holds, if you are talking about not killing a person. And you may very well believe that a 1st trimester baby is not a person yet. Many would agree with you. But also, many would not.\n\nYou aren't gonna convince people that its just an issue of choice. There are _loads_ of choices we as people aren't allowed to make. We aren't allowed to murder, steal, or even use copyrighted music without the consent of the copyright holder. There's a plethora of laws that we all agree on as a society so that we may live together peacefully.",
"technically, a person has a personality, which newborns lack. when does that develop?",
"Never at all for a lot of people, from what I can tell.",
"Maybe you should learn how to read.\n...and start at the beginning.",
"> I don't like this argument because if I punch a pregnant lady in the stomach, killing the baby inside, I would be charged with murder. You are only consistent if you think I should not receive any punishment as it's \"just a bunch of cells\" or a \"tumor\" or whatever, but of course you don't.\n\nNot necessarily. Only 38 states have fetal homicide laws. Also, there is a pretty substantial difference between that and abortion.\n\n>I was was aborted, it would impact my life quite a bit.\n\nAnd yet, it wouldn't at all because you wouldn't ever have even been around to make the distinction. A fetus doesn't even develop enough to have a consciousness until at least 5 months in.\n\n>If a woman wants to have a baby and has a miscarriage, it affects the mother quite a bit and I would NEVER have the nerve to go up to them saying it doesn't matter at all and they should just get over it.\n\nAgain, this is completely different than wanting an abortion and wanting to keep the baby. I don't even know why you are saying this at all. Of course a miscarriage will affect the mother, she wanted to have a baby. There is a huge amount of psychological things that happen after such a traumatic event. Hell, even an abortion can have some similar issues. That's why when you sit down to have one (depending on the stage) your doctor talks to you about it.",
"A fetus doesn't develop a consciousness until at least 5 months.\n\nQuestion for you: Do you believe you should be forced to donate an organ to somebody that needs it if you are still alive?",
">So at 5 months it turns into a human? At what time of the day does this happen exactly? You are against abortion after 5 months? \n\nIt's not my choice. If there are no complications I do not think a woman should get an abortion this late, but again it is not my choice. My ethics and my beliefs don't enter the picture here.\n\n>If the woman has complications at 6 months and the pregnancy has to be aborted, then you are killing the baby? And that's OK?\n\nYep, this is totally fine with me.\n\nHow far do your ethics/morals go? You could save the life of an already born and living person by donating a kidney right now. Have you done it? Should people be required to do it?",
"> It's so goddamn annoying to talk to leftists.\n> \n> \n> \n> You just said it's a baby after 5 months.\n> \n> \n> \n> From conception, the doctor protects the life of the mother and the child alike. There is no magical \"5 months\" where the doctor suddenly classifies the baby as it's own thing. It's made up and has nothing to do with medical science or biology. You are just making it all up as you go along. \n\nThe doctor is protecting the life of the mother and fetus. It is called a fetus until it is born. Doctors may call it a baby to the expecting mother because of common language. Cycle of pregnancy is:\n\nFirst 8-10 weeks - Embryo\n\nFrom 10 weeks all the way until birth - Fetus (38 weeks? Still a fetus)\n\nBirth - Baby (or neonate/newborn)\n\nThis is how science describes the process.\n\n>So you admit that abortion equals killing a baby. But somehow only after 5 months because you said so.\n\n>You have proven my point and you don't even know it.\n\n>It's like the trolley choice. It's a choice between two bad things. \n\nMy not correcting the language that you are comfortable with does not mean I am equating abortion to killing a baby. Nor does it mean that my time line is \"because I said so\"\n\n>No, I actually even couldn't. And that is a complete non-sequitor. \n\nExcept it isn't. So, should it be required for those that are able to donate an organ to donate said organ?",
"It's called science.\n\nI specifically outlined the difference between a baby and a fetus.\n\nAnd I ask again, should it be required for those that are able to donate an organ to donate said organ?",
"> No it isn't. It's called semantic bullshit and intellectual dishonesty. \n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetus\n\nIt is literally how it is defined.\n\n>There is absolutely no \"science\" to back any of that up. You already moved the goalpost from 5 months to birth.\n\nI did not move the goalpost. I told you when a fetus begins to develop a consciousness. \n\n\"A fetus doesn't even develop enough to have a consciousness until at least 5 months in.\"\n\nI have not once used the term \"baby\" in place of \"fetus\", I just never corrected your personal usage of the word. I regret not correcting you now because you seem to be incapable of moving on from it.\n\n>When does this magical change from \"fetus to baby\" happen? Tell me the EXACT moment? \n\nAT BIRTH. When you have an abortion, you are terminating the fetus.\n\nThe same thing happens with chickens and eggs. It isn't a chick until it is BORN.\n\nIt is the scientifically accurate, medical terminology that is used across all species. You choosing to use different words because of your personal feelings does not change the correct terminology. It's not \"murican scientism\" it is like globally acknowledged science.\n\nAnd for your records, less than 1% of abortions in the US occur after 20 weeks. And of those after 20 weeks, almost all are due to complications either with the baby or with the mother.",
">I don't care about your \"definitions\"\n\nAlright so you don't care about science. Got it. I guess we can just end it there then."

"One of the Coen’s best self-contained comic scenes.",
"\"Still gets me\" all these **five** long years later.",
"Eh, I haven't an opinion.",
"This is based on the real current MPAA isn’t it?",
"\"Any visual depiction of the Godhead is most strictly prohibited.\"\n\n\"Oh.\"\n\n\"But, of course, for us, the man Jesus Nazarene is not God.\"\n\n\"Ah-ha!\"",
"Good scene from a movie that I didn't enjoy. It felt like apologetics for McCarthyism.",
"The movie didn't quite land for me, but man there was some fantastic moments in it.",
"It benefits from repeat viewing. But I agree it didn't have the instant appeal of their earlier work.",
"> It felt like apologetics for McCarthyism.\n\nReally? I got the opposite from that.",
"I really did enjoy this film. Marketing screwed it by really misrepresenting it what the film was... a few days in the life of Josh Brolin's character as he puts out fires on a film studio.... just with the standard Coen flair their known for. \n\n\nThat being said, that premise does lend itself to and probably would have worked better as a TV series moreso than a film. I absolutely could see \"Hail, Caesar\" as an episodic comedy with each episode dealing with these small fires that Brolin has to put out. The largest fire (The George Clooney sub-plot) and his decision to leave the studio for the better paying job could have been through-plots through a season of Television. \n\nBut still, a very enjoyable Coen Bros film",
"God is a bachelor, and very angry!",
"I love how they start with close ups of the leaders, making you think they've packed the whole conference room with all these faiths, and then they go to the wide and it's just three flavours of Christian and a Jew.",
"Would that it were so simple.",
"I need to watch this again. I had felt similarly underwhelmed by Lebowski and now it's one of my favorite Coen brothers' film. I expect I will get more out of this one with a second or even third watch as well.",
"Doing good for others? Eh, couldn't hurt.",
"It's based on how studios had to grovel to religious groups back then.",
"Same. The scene where Clooney just instantly signs on to communism is great",
"The most underrated Coen movie, in my opinion. Very, very fun.",
"I'm in a minority where it's not my favourite Coen Brothers film, but it's probably the one I watch on my own the most (though might be tied with Buster Scruggs at this point, and neither is too far ahead from Brother Where Art Thou). It's so immersive and well-acted and genuine. They recreated an era so well and then peaked behind the curtain. \n\nI also really enjoy Alden Ehrenreich and I'm sorry Solo sorta sucked.",
"I must confess, I was a little disappointed on first viewing. \n\nCertain scenes had me howling with laughter, but the overall movie took a while for me to embrace.\n\nAgree with you though, the performances are superb. And the world building so expected of the Coens is fantastic as always. \n\nI haven't watched Buster Scruggs yet. I keep meaning to but the idea of the film hasn't quite grabbed me.\n\nI'll do it over the Christmas break."

"Old Russian Joke: \n\nAn elderly Russian man and a New Russian (ie, rich, dumb 90s Oligarch) both get to the Pearly Gates at the same time. While they're waiting for St. Peter, they discuss how they died.\n\n\"I wanted my old Zaporozhets car to go a little faster,\" says the old man, \"so I took my war trophy Junkers jet engine, strapped it to the top, and got up to 400kmh on the road before it exploded!\"\n\n\"Oh,\" says the New Russian, \"I also died in a car accident! I thought I was doing 200kmh in my Mercedes when I got passed by this old Zaporozhets - I realised I must've been completely stopped, so then I opened my door and got out...\"",
"\"whyd this guy cut me off\" \n\nYeah idk if people want to drive behind your garage build jet engine car",
"i'm no engineer, but why not angle the jets to provide downforce and forward thrust? feel like that might solve the problem",
"Are those Texas plates?",
"Clearly says Illinois.",
"Maybe the extra traction would be worth it but if that's not the problem in better conditions then any force pointed down is not being used to push it forward.",
"How old can that joke really be?",
"spoiler alert: *he couldn't*",

"Older than you, I'll wager.",
"Can anyone give me a TLDW because i ain't wasting 20mins",
"I thought Teslas were cool for a minute but now I laugh every time I see one on the road. Even the body shape is starting to look outdated already idk it’s weird. I’m sure they are fine though",
"\"I thought he just bought a fricken Tesla?!? Why does it sound like he's got an airplane over there??\"",
"The ''safe'' design they've gone for definitely speaks to older people and businesses. Personally I wouldn't spend this much money on a car that practically looks like a Ford Mondeo.",
"This dude is great at fabricating parts but driving that shit on the road is messed up. Just fucking up whatever car happens to be behind him. Not to mention the truck in the alley that he sandblasted. Fuck this guy",
"My age is irrelevant. \n\nI suppose I would not consider a joke about Jet technology and Mercedes that old.",
"*whoosh*",
"Jet engines that don't produce enough thrust to knock over a garbage bin aren't going to move a nearly 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) car.\n\nAlso, if they did produce enough thrust to affect the car, they'd snap right off those shitty mounts because the force of all that thrust is going to torque the hell out of the screws. The engines need to be built into the frame in order to apply thrust to the vehicle first. The screws that bolt the engines to their mount are going to eat all that force in this set up.",
"shaved a second off of his 0-60 on his p85d. went from 4.5 to 3.5. his best is 2.4 on track and the testing in this video is on poor road conditions. total shit.",
"I would have been interested to see the car pushed by jet engines alone to get an idea of how much the thrust really translates into forward motion.",
"He's already got a tesla, that would now need hydrocarbon fuel. I would LOVE it if he would bring them to my house to mount one or two on my pedal bike.",
"So, he shaved off 22%? That actually sounds pretty good",
"Or maybe Colin Furze can get a jet powered car and stick electric fans on the back to see if it's the same effect."

"Robin crushes it, as always, but who's line always makes me think of the [Richard Simmons](https://youtu.be/zML2J7lx76c) segment.",
"Obligatory Colin Mochrie appreciation comment",
"Love seeing Robin, but it kills me being reminded that he's gone.",
"That is stuck in my head since childhood!",
"The bend 'n snap. Classic.",
"I remember watching this when it aired. My mother said \"We're watching!\" and recorded it. We still have that VHS somewhere.",
"Wow. What talents. All of them.",
"Captain hair is a Canadian treasure",
"Correction- an international treasure that the world owes Canada for",
"Sorry about that, we want nothing.",
"AND YOULL GET NOTHING. Have a good day :)",
"Robin was always great. Although he was just a smidgen more than 21 more like 41. He was mork from work when he was in his twenties.",
"Uhmmm I watched this when it first came out. 21 years???!!",
"omfg. The Williams one is truly hilarious. But the Richard Simmons bits are just so god damn funny. The entire audience and cast just lose it and it's fantastic.",
"What episode? All of these are on hbo now, I’ve watched a few of them.",
"This skit was 21 years ago. Not when he was 21",
"21 years *ago*",
"I love how Wayne goes \"Yessss\" when Colin says to do it like a riverdance!",
"They're saying it was 21 years AGO, not that he was 21 years old. Haha",
"Oops. One too many beers.",
"I remember that episode. Use too watch them all. Gold",
"That crowd got to witness the Richard Simmons episode and the Meow episode",
"How much of it is improvised?",
"All of it dude. It was the premise of the show",
"TIL 21 years ago Wayne Brady looked the same as he would 21 years later.",
"Good, because it's not on the CWSeed site or HBOMax AFAIK. Worth keeping your hands on.",
"I don't believe this episode is on HBO. There are more than a few missing episodes.",
"This must of been filmed around when Robin did [One Hour Photo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjIBX5RrG4Q) based on his bleach blond hair.",
"From what I can tell:\n\nThe skits are improvised. The situations are mostly conceived of ahead of time, and the writers get REALLY good at knowing what the performers are good at. They film way more footage than they need on the day (I think 45 minutes per episode) and they'll cut lines, whole sketches, etc and only keep the choicest meat.",
"Now that's a spicy meat-a-ball-a!",
"What hurts me is remembering he was struggling with serious depression this entire time. I wish mental health was more acceptable then and now. Its getting better but.",
"black don't crack.",
"His funniest line was \"what the hell am I doing, I have a career\"",
"His death wasn't due to depression. It was due to a his health decline. He was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's, when he had Lewy bodies disease.\n\nIt's really messed up, but would you rather have an alive Robin Williams who is barely a shell of his former self?",
"What a special human being, rip sir. You're going to be missed for a very very long time.",

"Fuckin' a I haven't laughed like that in a minute. Thanks for the throwback.\n\nI miss this style of comedy. I miss his truth and his spirit.",
" The part that gets me everyime is ''i think it wants more coins'' and then it zooms out to everyone literally dying.",
"“What is robin thinking right now” \nThe audience member who put that in the hat probably felt so cool.",
"What I wish is that he could have had a dignified death where he could say goodbye to everyone, people could thank him once last time and say goodbye. He could then have a gentle, dignified and private death surrounded by his loved ones.\n\nHow he ended his life hurts far more than the fact that he is no longer with us.",
"Dude, I was like, \"Robin is quite a bit shorter than I remember\", but no! Turns out everyone else is 6' or taller! I had no idea XD",
"This is my go to \"what makes you laugh every time\" skit. Always always hilarious",

"They have all these phrases for different races aging gracefully like “black don’t crack”. I think it’s just that white people age like shit. Source: Am white.",
"Wait - he’s dead?",
"Chances are he wouldn't be alive today. He died in 2014 and his prognosis gave him at most 3 years. He might have been able to work for a few more months at best before he required around-the-clock care. The best he could have hoped for was for doctors to keep him comfortable while he deteriorated.",
"No, we can forget 1hr photo. It's all good Robin, you be loved for all time.",
"Yeah they definitely reshoot and retry different skits mutiple times. \n\nI watched sound outtakes of the HoDowns before and Ryan HATES them and will make it known. Causing reshoots to get one whole song out.",
"he was 5'7\"",
"you should try and digitize it and upload it, probably 10 times the quality it is now;",
"Having Robin Williams guest-star on Whose Line might have been the biggest no-brainer in the history of television.",
"well then. I'm normally a lurker but now i know. Thanks!",
"White ain't tight? Source: Am white.",
"Nah, he's alive. Apparently he's 73, which is surprising.\n\nEdit: But also... [Hmmm?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Simmons#Retreat_from_public_life)",
"He’s looked like he was 73 since 1973. \n\nBut I love that guy.",
"the show is so good that i, a 24 year old norwegian, have watched just about every episode i can find.",
"And! Wayne had the best approximation of step dancing!",
"Did you also watch the original British Whose Line? Some of those are better than anything they managed later on.",
"> I wish mental health was more acceptable then and now\n\nNo, let's not normalize insanity",
"Why did he have to die?",
"That's a good idea. At the every least, it might make a good gift for my mother.",
"Use lotions my amigo. Seriously, you may not know it because you’re white butbuour skin gets ashy and crusty too. You gotta hydrate from the outside and the inside.",
"You might of heard the phrase \"laugh until your sides hurt\", well, this episode literally did that to me the first time I saw it. I also lol'd a lot and may have rotfl'd a bit also.\n\nMiss you man.",
"disablities wil never be accepted\n\nevolution and nature know no mercy for the weak",
"> but he rarely completely lost it like he did during Richard Simmons' segment.\n\nThis, the Arctic Turn, and Ryan hitting his head on the desk.",
"Yeah, sorry. I wasn’t saying he’s dead. Just that I miss his appearances. He hasn’t made a public appearance, that I know of, in years. Many people speculate health or mental health problems. His spokesperson says he is OK but he hasn’t spoken for himself in a long time. That’s what I meant by I miss him.",
"Wow you just made my day. Hilarious!!",
"holy shit thank you for making me look up arctic turn, that was so funny",
"I discovered that we only should soap our armpits, groin and feet everyday. Everything else is self-cleaning\\*.\n\n\\*within reason, as in soap and shampoo every couple of weeks or so",
"This episode and the one with Richard Simmons are top shelf Who's Lines.",
"I met him at a gig in Scotland once, super nice guy on top of being funny as fuck",
"I think there was a documentary “finding Richard Simmons” or something. I knew he went into hiding but was hoping he was still alive. Haven’t heard much about him, but as an 80’s kid, he was such a staple of my childhood. Sweatin to the Oldies and Deal-a-Meal!!",
"Greg Proops was pissing himself.",
"The one guy jumping up and down in the aisle kills me.",
"There was a clip of him recently saying hi to a tourbus going by his house which I thought was exceptionally nice of him. I'd hate tourists driving by my house all the time. Seemed himself, really nice to the fans.",
"His hair is like that for his role in the film One Hour Photo, for those of you who didn't know. Really creepy movie and he does a great job if you're interested.",
"So's Ryan",
"Ok? That's 2 inches from average. Wouldn't consider that short.",

"* [Arctic Tern](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBzwv057GPs)\n* [Ryan hitting his head](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Qtlfd9ul4)\n\nand another one of my favorites: [Drew's recorder prank](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41oHePob_Nw)",

"Beck Bennett is one of SNL’s best cast members ever imo. I would love for him and Kyle Mooney to make their own show because their work is consistently great. \n\nedit: [like this for example](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KUzGrzsYqH4)",
"It's a parody, how did they manage to get it banned?\n\nThis was hilarious and if by these standards like 90% or more of SNL could be banned. Like WTF!?",
"iirc it was because Safelite said it highly respects its employees and the sketch was super disrespectful of their employees and wanted it scrubbed. so you can’t find it on YouTube or any of their official channels now lol. they were pissed",
"their real commercials used to be creepy but they changed them after the snl skit",
"Those parody spots are typically sponsored by the company being parodied, even if it pokes fun at the brand, it’s typically crafted in a way to be a net positive",
"Yeah they were some of the most annoying on tv. I still watch regular tv for background noise a lot and I always hated how they portrayed their Safelite workers as people who act like they’re your best friends. Someone gets a slight chip in their window on vacation and they’re gonna drop everything and head down to Safelite??",
"Not to mention the pedophilic vibes... Yikes",
"To be fair, they are saying that employee is a pedo.\n\nIts funny but I can understand why they want it pulled.",

"/r/LiveFromNewYork is the actual sub.",
"That was great character development.",
"Calling it \"banned\" is inaccurate and clickbaity.\n\nSNL [pulled it voluntarily](https://decider.com/2017/11/27/snl-nbc-safelite-controversy) after backlash from TV critics and Safelite:\n\n\"When the SNL sketch featuring Safelite first aired, we expressed our disappointment with how it negatively portrayed our people. It was SNL’s decision to remove the content, and they have not shared their reasons behind that decision.\"\n\nIMO this was a a particularly insipid sketch. Mediocre idea, subpar execution.",

"This is tripping me out a bit. \n\nIn the UK we have a company that uses the same jingle (probably the same parent company or something) just called [AutoGlass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvnvN2F1Rm4), and it sounds so....wrong as Safelite \n\nAlso Gavin from Autoglass is basically our Jake from Statefarm",

"Wow some right around 50 seconds get a little extra zing. What makes them so special?",
"Tbf, Safelite IS terrible. Had a whole 6 month back and forth with them trying to avoid responsibility for their shoddy work. I won in the end, but I would have much rather have just not had the whole ordeal.",
"“I don’t know… I guess I like a lot of light.”\n\nI don’t know… I guess I like a lot of tape.”\n\nThat skit gets me every time.",

"No, it was not banned.",
"Don't you guys have Krystals in Texas?",
"This isn't funny though...",

"Though it's not the same, at least you have Whataburger",
"> Yeah they were some of the most annoying on tv.\n\nNow that you mentioned it – i have never heard of Safelite before but their jingle was oddly familiar. And then i tried to remember \"our\" annoying glass repair commercial for cars. It has the same melody but – obviously – different text. Searched online and yes – basically the same company. [Belron International Ltd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belron) known as Carglass in Europe and Safelite in the US. \n\nThey have a recognizable brand i give them that – its annoying but recognizable :P\n\nEdit: wow that's a rabbit hole i've found myself digging into. I didn't want to find it [but here you go Carglass / Autoglass / Belron (All Languages/Countries Jingles)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EwQepDqru8)",
"Oh yeah that's a good point. I'm probably going to get that for dinner now lol. I've been hearing they plan to expand and hopefully you'll get one near you one day!",

"And offer to help the daughter dry off after her swim lmao",
"In Belgium it's Carglass, Exact same jingle.\n\nI was looking for the Belgian version but turns out it's Carglass in most of Europe.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EwQepDqru8",
"Hell yeah! The lines are always a pain but it's just so damn good. Once waited in the drive thru at 1am for 20 minutes just to get a burger and I don't regret it. I've seen people wait in the drive thru for over 40 minutes in a small college town before.",
"I can see why this particular one pissed them off. Normally the brands are associated with some inappropriate shit, but it's not targeted at the employees specifically. Like the White Castle sketch mentions it in the same lines as pedophilia, but it's not the employees that are molesting children.",
"I recently found out he had his last season : (",
"Apparently SNL themselves chose to take it down? If I had to guess it's because Most evil invention doesn't call the employees pedos or say anything bad about the brand itself",
"Yeah that's a good point. It was basically just saying everyone loves white castle lol",
"Yeah it’s from SNL",
"Diff'rent strokes",
"As employee I’m not offended lol\n\nStop buying plans with huge deductibles y’all though since so many people are upset when the inevitable happens because they wanted to save money and got the worst coverage imaginable",
"Plus, you don’t see any actual molesting. Dr Roy may mention it, but the robot never moves or talks.",
"It just makes sense. Part of the reason why things are regionally locked. If I come up with a banger in one market why not just add a coat of paint and release it in a similar market? They don't compete and I make more money.",
"How much is costs cash versus what they charge the insurance companies? Though with as many locations (franchise?) they have around the world (post above https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/ra0b8w/the_snl_parody_commercial_that_got_banned_because/hnhaxdz/ ) they will have a monopoly.",

"CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!\n\nAND GRIND THEIR BONES INTO THE DIRT",
"Ahhh, that did make me a little uneasy.",
"They can't upcharge insurance companies, they just wouldn't pay. Insurance companies know what a windshield costs and what reasonable install costs should be.",
"In the US, \"auto glass\" is a broad term for all windshield repair shops, so they have to go by a different name.",
"Seriously. You should totally not be doing that until you're at least 45.",
"Canada, Speedy Glass, [same shit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnDXvqEc8AY)",
"Ah, that makes sense. Ty!",
"I help people with their job provided benefits. The amount of people electing into plans they don't know with terms they don't understand is too damn high.\n\nI'm regularly explaining to people what a deductible is. They ask me like 5 times then exclaim \"Then why am I paying for this plan!\"",
"Autoglass repair, autoglass replace sounds like something Windshieldimus Prime would yell to my American ears.",
"Yes it was. All footage of it was burned and no one has been able to find a copy for decades.",
"Glad to see he chose to leave on his own too, to start a family. He and his wife lived in LA and he was in NY for SNL, and after years he didn't want to put their marriage on hold anymore.",

"Where are the free speech warriors on this?",
"Yeah I don't think safelite's opinion was the only one that mattered here lol",
"Big windshield is bigger than I thought!",

"Are they wearing bodycams under a pilot project? No? Then no. \n\nCheck the jurisdiction you’re asking about. They have an oversight framework governing the use of bodycams, and access (or publishing) of the video. Some can’t even turn off their bodycam: it’s turned on for their shift and stays on until they finish. For others, any gaps in recording need to be explained (ie was on break). Bad reasons are grounds for disciplinary action. \n\nIn non-US jurisdictions, it’s pretty bad. Parts of Asia have bodycams where video is only to be used against the defendant, never the police or government. And in Canada, cops don’t have bodycams (minus some trial runs and pilot projects that never conclude or are cancelled).",

"Nah go do some research. And fix your bad question. Again, Canada cops aren’t using bodycams, so how the hell do you compare US and Canada use of bodycams if CANADA ISN’T USING THEM? It will be short research for you to do. \n\nAnd while you do, wonder why there’s zero police bodycam footage that comes out. Or zero video from Canadian courtrooms. And ask yourself if this makes Canada “less poor” than the US because you can’t see honest camera witness that is very important for any defendant or suspect in Canada.",

Changes nothing for me. \n\nWork on your capacity to make non-crap conclusions and maybe you’ll have better results from your research. \n\nThat there are scandals out about the US system says a lot for their capacity for transparency and debate. The lack of scandals elsewhere means only that: there is a lack of scandals. What do you want “exposed”? It is being exposed. What more do you want?

"As /u/iusedtobjesus said, this happens to white people all the time. It is a matter of financial class rather than race. This is a court appointed lawyer, AKA a Public Defender -- a lawyer for those who cannot afford to hire one. While there are some good ones out there, more often than not you're going to get a subpar defense.

I am beyond grateful and amazed at the amount of support I have received.\n\n>The lawsuit continues advancing thanks to you!\n\n>I have been in contact with an attorney that will be taking video depositions of the attorneys and the director of Salt Lake Legal Defender Association (“SLLDA”).\n\n>It will be interesting to see how they all attempt to justify their actions. I need to know why Richard Mauro, the director of SLLDA, did nothing after I reported the incident.\n\n>I have been investigating another case of misconduct by another public defender that may be able to prove that what happened to me is not an isolated event. I will soon be reporting my findings of the investigation and will also go deeper into the inactions of SLLDA in addressing complaints of misconduct by their attorneys.\n\n>It may be an illegal pattern of behavior that SLLDA takes part of while representing their clients.\n\n>The lawsuit will likely go to trial. The attorneys and Salt Lake Legal Defender Association refuse to accept any responsibility for what they did.\n\n>Know that no amount of money they offer will persuade me to give up my determination to seek justice and to evoke change.\n\n>Multiple times SLLDA tried to force me to remove the video from the internet. First by way of a settlement agreement and then by court order. But I fought and here we are. It is a very powerful and distinct determination when you know you’re doing something for a cause that is grater than you.\n\n>This case of corruption allows us to see the government for what it truly is. I have vast amounts of evidence showing the corruption or at minimum gross incompetence by police officers, pd records department, public defenders, the courts, the Utah State Bar Association, and the Attorney General’s office. With so much evidence and after being reported to multiple agencies, nothing has been done. Nothing.\n\n>These agencies receive millions of dollars by way of compulsory taxation. They take a significant amount of people’s income before a person ever sees that money. The government’s sole purpose for existing is to protect us. The institution of government is not only failing at protecting but it now has turned into a tool of oppression and victimization.\n\n>We need to hold corrupt officials accountable. We need to demand it. We can’t let our society deteriorate even more.\n\n>With all this said, I believe I have been targeted by the Unified Police Department. I will soon be releasing a video where the UPD unlawfully pulls over my car while a female friend was driving and I was the passenger. This occurred in April of this year. You will see the interaction and will understand why I believe I may be facing retaliation.\n\n>Nonetheless, I will continue doing my part in exposing these agencies in my attempt to evoke change.

In Texas, there is a fine of up to 2000, 4000, or 10 000 dollars depending on the circumstances of the DWI, plus a 3000 to 6000 fee for DWI convictions. Plus the license suspensions and enhancement of any future DWI charges. Plus costs and PITA of having a breath device in your car. And honestly, probation is probably more likely than time served on a first offense on most jurisdictions where I practice, so people have to frequently report to a probation officer and take pee tests for drugs and alcohol, etc. DWI is no joke.",

It's not, if you show up late, your offense has already happened. \n\nit also make it appear as if the council conspired against him by starting early. but the court has a docket, and I can't speak for every court in most cases they don't start randomly you can't just start 15 minutes early.\n\nThen he goes on about how they saw him in the court room, and didn't mention it.

How come that hasn't been shared? All we have to go on here is the defendant's claim the hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m. Hearings are noticed in writing.\n\n>* Defense counsel seem oddly fine with the bench warrant being issued.

If the video cut out the portion where they did this, that's messed up. I have been in similar situations where I have asked the judge to please give me a short recess to try to locate and/or call my client. I have never had a judge deny that request.\n\n>* If the female defense attorney did not speak at all when the case was called with the defendant present, that's messed up. If the video cut out the portion where the female defense attorney addressed the court, that's messed up. It boggles the mind to not address the court when your client is being taken into custody.\n\n>* When the judge is talking to courthouse staff about the defendant being outside \"frantically calling his attorney\" and speculating that defense counsel themselves wanted the bench warrant executed, both the tone and substance of her communications are inappropriate. This is probably the specific reason she recused herself when confronted with the surveillance footage.\n\n>* The more people you add to the mix, the less likely and believable it is that there was a conspiracy of any sort. There are insinuations that the judge, defense attorneys, prosecutor, bailiff, court reporter, and even multiple news outlets were \"in on it\" and participated in or facilitated the \"corruption.\"\n\n>* The judge and courthouse staff do not know what this particular defendant looks like, even if they have seen him before. The prosecutor may not know what defendant looks like. These people see hundreds of defendants every single week. The only people who should be expected to know what defendant looks like are his own defense counsel.",

"> The case stemmed from a charge that alleged that Sanchez had failed to stop at the command of a police officer. In an early December morning of 2014, police had been dispatched near a residence where a party had taken place, and where a fight had been reported. When police arrived, Sanchez and multiple other people in different vehicles were in the process of driving away.\n\n> One responding officer was Jared Cardon from the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake. In his police report, officer Cardon states that once he arrived near the residence, he saw three vehicles getting ready to leave. Officer Cardon then states that he stepped out of his patrol vehicle and stretched his arms out and signaled the vehicle closes to him to stop.\n\n> Court records from an evidentiary hearing offers testimony where Sanchez declares he was the second vehicle in line. Sanchez as well as officer Cardon, state that the first vehicle in line had stopped once Cardon gave him a gesture to stop. Both Sanchez and officer Cardon then declare that the first car in line drove around the officer and accelerated away.\n\n> Next is where the issue arises. Officer Jared Cardon claims that Sanchez was driving the first car in line. He also states that he slammed his hand on the hood of Sanchez’s car in an effort to order him to stop.\n\n> Mr. Sanchez and multiple other witnesses affirm that Sanchez was the second car in line and that they never saw any officer slam the hood of Sanchez’s car, nor any other vehicle that was about to drive away.\n\n> Sanchez states he was never given a direct order to stop. He reveals that he only drove away after waiting a significant amount of time after officer Cardon had ran into his patrol vehicle, due to the first car that had sped away. Believing they were not being sought by police, Sanchez and the other vehicle behind him resumed driving.\n\n> Officer Cardon refutes this and claims that the first car in line was that of Sanchez. He alleges that Sanchez willfully ignored numerous commands to stop and that he sped away while the other two vehicles waited. He explains that the blatant disregard to his commands to stop, led him to charge Sanchez with fleeing and subsequently with DUI and resisting arrest.\n\nCare to refute?",

"I think that are two main problems with your statement:\n\n1. if you start defining \"problems\" and \"wealthy countries\" you'll find it's not really true. Sure you can always find a single country as an example for any given problem or lack thereof, but you can just as easily cherry pick to provide a counterexample. Let's take the recent abortion news as an example (assuming your politics imply that access to abortion is \"good\" - full disclosure, this is my belief as well). Many people would consider the imminent change to federal abortion law to be an example of a \"problem\" in the USA. HOWEVER, Of the top 10 [richest countries](https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-richest-countries-in-the-world.html) in the world, currently four of them (Qatar, UAE, Brunei, San Marino) have MORE restrictive abortion laws than the US. (Unless by \"wealthy\" you secretly meant \"white\"?). Not to mention that the change to federal law still allows states to manage the legality themselves. Even after Roe V Wade is off the books, several of the largest states (CA, NY, NJ, IL, all of New England, etc.) will see no change. This is maybe 100 million people (back of napkin math).\n\n2. it's important to remember that the US is a very large federation, and it's easy to cherry pick a \"bad\" part to highlight a problem and (incorrectly) apply to the entire country. As an example:\nThe lowest ranked state by [Human Development Index](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_Human_Development_Index) is Mississippi, with 0.871. This ranks 37th in the world. Not great! But still above countries like Portugal, Chile, Qatar, Russia, and Malaysia.\nThe highest ranking state is Massachusetts, with a HDI of 0.956. This compares to Norway, which is the highest **in the world**.\nMassachusetts has a bigger population than Norway (and comparable to the other 5 highest countries per HDI). Is it fair to compare Norway to MA? Or Norway to the US as a whole? It's complicated.",

It says to everyone that the rules that hold our system together do not matter. Our society is actually much more fragile then people think. A trust in institutions is necessary for it to function, and breaking that trust can result in the system collapsing. Millions of peoples lives depend on that.\n\nWhen it comes to torture or other acts of violence the main question that I ask myself is 'does this person's life hold any value or could it hold value'. If the answer is 'no' then capital punishment seems to be responsible. But you really really have to examine the answer. Both what is value in life, and how you assessed it.",

I am beyond grateful and amazed at the amount of support I have received.\n\n>The lawsuit continues advancing thanks to you!\n\n>I have been in contact with an attorney that will be taking video depositions of the attorneys and the director of Salt Lake Legal Defender Association (“SLLDA”).\n\n>It will be interesting to see how they all attempt to justify their actions. I need to know why Richard Mauro, the director of SLLDA, did nothing after I reported the incident.\n\n>I have been investigating another case of misconduct by another public defender that may be able to prove that what happened to me is not an isolated event. I will soon be reporting my findings of the investigation and will also go deeper into the inactions of SLLDA in addressing complaints of misconduct by their attorneys.\n\n>It may be an illegal pattern of behavior that SLLDA takes part of while representing their clients.\n\n>The lawsuit will likely go to trial. The attorneys and Salt Lake Legal Defender Association refuse to accept any responsibility for what they did.\n\n>Know that no amount of money they offer will persuade me to give up my determination to seek justice and to evoke change.\n\n>Multiple times SLLDA tried to force me to remove the video from the internet. First by way of a settlement agreement and then by court order. But I fought and here we are. It is a very powerful and distinct determination when you know you’re doing something for a cause that is grater than you.\n\n>This case of corruption allows us to see the government for what it truly is. I have vast amounts of evidence showing the corruption or at minimum gross incompetence by police officers, pd records department, public defenders, the courts, the Utah State Bar Association, and the Attorney General’s office. With so much evidence and after being reported to multiple agencies, nothing has been done. Nothing.\n\n>These agencies receive millions of dollars by way of compulsory taxation. They take a significant amount of people’s income before a person ever sees that money. The government’s sole purpose for existing is to protect us. The institution of government is not only failing at protecting but it now has turned into a tool of oppression and victimization.\n\n>We need to hold corrupt officials accountable. We need to demand it. We can’t let our society deteriorate even more.\n\n>With all this said, I believe I have been targeted by the Unified Police Department. I will soon be releasing a video where the UPD unlawfully pulls over my car while a female friend was driving and I was the passenger. This occurred in April of this year. You will see the interaction and will understand why I believe I may be facing retaliation.\n\n>Nonetheless, I will continue doing my part in exposing these agencies in my attempt to evoke change. I will go as far as I can. I don’t know what may happen to me in the end but I am willing to face the consequences.\n\n>In anticipation for trial I have increase the amount of money I seek in this gofundme campaign.\n\n>I will periodically be posting updates on the lawsuit.\n\n>Again, thank you for your support and for allowing me to continue seeking change and justice.",

"It's not really like doctors though. Everyone needs a doctor regularly, and people who need them more often, at least half of the time, have no control over it.\n\nLawyers are quite different. First, if they are public, there is no payoff to being good. You can be the shittiest lawyer ever and you would be the same as a good one, because you would both earn the same amount.\n\nThe second issue is often times, people who need a lawyer are those who commit crimes. Sure, there are real estate, estate, divorce lawyers, etc. but those are not the ones who act in this position anyway most of the time except for maybe in matters with family court.\n\nIf it is a public service, that means it is paid for by the taxpayers. So that is basically saying that the people who work the most and put the most money into taxes will get the least out of them, while raising taxes quite a bit. As I said, being a lawyer isn't necessarily easy, so the quantity and quality would already be dropping with this sort of implementation. But then to have everyone's taxes raised to benefit most the people who are basically on trial and in and out of jail their whole lives would never be supported by the general public nor the lawyers themselves.\n\nIt's just not a realistic expectation. Because not everyone does need a lawyer at some point. And even if someone does, needing care their whole life to stay alive (doctor) vs once ever to maybe stay out of jail (lawyer) is quite different. In my 30s, I still have never had a defense lawyer, nor has anyone in my family. Not my parents or my partner or anything.\n\nYet I know someone I went to school with who basically buys drugs from a dealer all day through uber rides and resells them, and he has needed lawyers about every 6 months since he turned 18. My whole family has always worked and contributed to the system financially. He has had a couple jobs for a few months and that's it. Try to explain to your average joe why he vs those who work and stay out of trouble should get so much of their taxes.\n\nIt just wouldn't go through. As unfortunate as it is for those who truly need better representation and who are treated unfairly in the justice system, it's not something that's realistic to expect.

First off, it can take hours/days for any review to show up for other people. That tends to confuse would-be spammers. \n\nAlso, if you've already reviewed a place, and you're trying to \"review bomb\" the same place on another Google account but from the same IP, it's never going to work. If that account has *ever* been associated with your main account in *any* way, it likely won't work. Same goes for trying to circumvent this by using 99% of VPNs.\n\nThere are a ton of other factors at play as well (is the place getting review bombed/unusual traffic right now? If it's a physical place, do you live anywhere near it? Have you ever been there? etc.) Note that, obviously, you don't have to check every box here to leave an honest review.

Firstly the timings are all superimposed by the editor so we have no way to verify most of them. \n\nThe second problem is that even if the timings are accurate, the defence lawyer would need to have met his client prior to the Court commencing. It depends on the case etc but the lawyer will have told the client to meet him there at 0830 or 0845. The defendant wasn't there anywhere near that time so the lawyer had no chance of progressing the case as he wasn't getting instructions from the client. He was therefore late, and not just 7 minutes late (again, giving the benefit of the doubt to him in relation to the accuracy of the timings).\n\nThe third problem is that we are told the narrative of him being late or absent many times is only partially false but as with the timings we can only take the defendants word for that.

"Nah - I feel like this is clearly a case of them all being fed up with this guy's attitude.\n\nI'm not saying it should work this way, but it seems like *half* of any given court case is just the judge/court wanting to see that a defendant is taking the process seriously and earnestly, respecting the court's authority, and putting their best foot forward etc.\n\nSo if I'm speculating these types of conversations don't just casually come up. These people all have busy schedules and they don't think they should have to act like parents to their defendants, calling them to remind them they need to be in court, checking to make sure they're on their way and will be on time, and waiting on *them* rather than the other way around, etc.\n\nSo they really expect that if your case is at 9:00 AM that you show up 15-30 minutes early, regardless of whether or not the proceedings usually actually start at that time. It's a respect thing.\n\nSo we know from the video's own admission this guy had been very late before, missed one court hearing, and had to be called by his defense attorney once to remind him of a hearing. \n\nThe defendant also claims in other places that he wasn't actually even late at 9:08 because his case is never called right when it begins anyway. This gives us a pretty big clue into how he views the whole thing.\n\nAgain, if I'm speculating, based upon how she responds to the judge's question about \"... and you don't expect him to be here?\" his lawyer called him the morning to ask where he was 15-20 minutes before the case was to be heard, he told her that he was almost on his way and what his ETA was, she knew that would mean he was going to be marginally late again, and they were all tired of it.\n\nSo the court/judge, his public defender, and the prosecutor all felt he was being generally disrespectful and decided not to let him get away with being habitually \"just a little late\" to his court hearings.\n\nAgain, I'm not saying that this is the way it should be, but I think that's the explanation for what's happening in this video.",

If you violate certain terms then you become responsible for the bond. \n\nI say we should cut those bond companies out and have the court and defendant sign a bond agreement, and the court monitor them or contract someone to monitor them at different levels as necessary.

So the cop said he “didn’t need” to listen to my audio that clearly proved what happened. Which is illegal. I was then given a public defender who outright lied to me and made my whole abuse case go away in 10 mins in front of the judge. Basically he said I couldn’t provide any evidence?! Absolutely not true, obviously. At the time I had no idea, I was young and my ex had taken my baby from me so I did whatever I needed to to get him back. My ex then tried to get me prosecuted for the time he assaulted me (because I was on his property and I put my foot up once in defense while he was beating me up) and he tried to get a protective order because it would have looked good for him in the divorce we were going through. \nI did my research, I represented myself in court. His lawyer pulled me aside and offered me a “deal”. I declined. I was so nervous, but I fucking did it!! I won!! After so much injustice, it was the BEST feeling of my life!

"It works in the other direction too. \n\n\n**TL;DR**: I was offered to pay a small fine instead of going to court. Not being able to afford the risk of being found guilty and likely paying a much larger fine or possibly going to jail, I paid the small fine. \n\n\n**Details:** \n\n\nI was arrested for \"disorderly conduct\" in PA. A very famous celebrity (at the time), was doing a book signing at a record store there. My girlfriend and I worked for the record store in a different far away city, but were invited to help out with this event as management knew we were fans of the celebrity. \n\n\nWe showed up to work our shifts, and found a line of police blocking people from entering the store. They were telling everyone that the guest of honor, a politically problematic (for them) celebrity, had left and was probably already on a plane heading home. \n\n\nThe store had only opened 2 hours ago, and the event wasn't even scheduled to have started yet. The crowd was excited but not in any way \"disorderly\". Hell, everyone was queued up in a line and just chatting with each other. \n\n\nMy girlfriend and I walked up to the door while holding hands. They let her pass with no problem, but one of the cops shoved a baton in my chest and said, \"I told you to get the fuck out of here.\" Despite not having addressed me at all prior to this interaction. My girlfriend was jolted to a stop, because she had not anticipated that I'd be shoved backward, while we were holding hands. \n\n\nI tried to say, \"I work here, I'm going in to start my shift.\" All I got out was \"I work...\" and the cop said \"I don't give a fuck who you are, turn around and leave or you're going to jail.\" \n\n\nSo I said he'd have to take me to jail. He did. Well, he arrested me anyway, other cops took me to jail along with several other people. \n\n\nThere is way more to this story, including being taken in the wagon to an alley, being told to get out and then having guns drawn on me and asked \"what did you do with your handcuffs\", handcuffs they never put on me, lol... but the relevant part is that I later received a notice that I could either go to trial, or pay $25 and attend a class that would teach me how to be a good little citizen. \n\n\nI couldn't afford to risk being found guilty so I paid the $25 and took the class. \n\n\nFunny thing is, the person teaching the class was a lawyer who fucking HATED police. He looked at my police report and said I should have opted to go to court because the report did not specify what it was that I had done that was supposedly \"disorderly\" and that even the fucked up judges in PA would have likely have just thrown it out, and if not a public defender could get the case tossed. \n\n\n \n**Further tangentially related details:** \n\n\nIn that class, there were about 15 \"students\". When the instructor/lawyer walked around to read everyone's police reports, he suddenly stopped beside one woman and asked her name. She told him her name and said \"Hello Mr. \\[whatever his name was\\]\", in a way that suggested she had a high level of admiration for this man. \n\n\nHe said \"I thought that was you! Do you mind sharing your story?\" \n\n\nShe said she'd be happy to. \n\n\nHer husband was a disabled war veteran who had some issues with his legs and could barely walk. They lived on the third floor of an apartment complex which you can imagine wasn't easy for him, and she had just brought home groceries. She parked in front of their building which was a fire lane. \n\n\nI absolutely hate when people park in fire lanes, my father being Battalion Commander of our city's fire department... but she explained that everyone in the building did this, and that they'd usually only park long enough to sit the groceries on the sidewalk, go park and then carry the groceries in. \n\n\nAnyway, she was in the process of doing this when a cop pulls up and tells her she can't park there. \n\n\nShe says she's just unloading some groceries and that she'll move within the next couple of minutes. \n\n\nHe tells her to move NOW. \n\n\nShe sighs, and rolls her eyes and the cop loses his shit. He tells her to turn around and put her hands behind her head. \n\n\nShe tells him she's pregnant. So what does he do? \n\n\nHe slams her on the ground and handcuffs her behind her back. \n\n\nHer husband sees this and starts trying to make his way down to find out what is going on. He comes out and yells \"What are you doing to my wife?\" \n\n\nThe rest of the neighborhood sees what is going on and people start coming out and yelling to the cop that the woman is pregnant. When it doesn't seem to change what the cop is doing, they start yelling mean words at him. \n\n\nSo he calls in \"officer in distress\", and suddenly the neighborhood is swarming with police. \n\n\nThe husband asks someone else to move the car, and the cop lets them do that. But then they arrest the woman for \"inciting a riot\". \n\n\nThis lawyer had represented her and won the case. She had miscarried, and though they couldn't prove that being slammed on the ground is what caused it, she did receive a decent amount of money. I don't think she said how much, just that it was enough, she thought, to cause her to be targeted by the police for constant harassment and retaliation. \n\n\nHe offered to represent her for free the next time she got arrested for anything, told her she could leave if she wanted and that he'd mark her down as having completed the program. \n\n\nTo her credit, she said it would be unfair to the rest of us for her to leave early and she stayed for the rest of the \"lesson.\" \n\n\nA lesson that was basically us listening to this lawyer tell us stories about how corrupt the PA police were and advice on what to do the next time we got arrested. \n\n\nI don't believe she said what she was in the class for that day, or I just forgot.

"I used to be a habitually late person. I finally kicked the habit (and that’s what it is) years ago after I burned so many people (co-workers, bosses, friends, family, dinners, events, etc.). I’ve always thought of being a “late person” the same way I think about alcoholism- you’ll ALWAYS be wired for being a “late person” , you just have to start taking extra steps to ensure you are on-time and create habits around being on-time. \n\nIt’s definitely more difficult for those of us who are “late people” - but like any bad habit, can be overcome once the “late person” admits they prioritize themselves over others, admits that the behavior is disrespectful and inconsiderate to those who are left waiting, then takes actions to minimize occurrences from often to rare. \n\nIt took me 10 years (my 20s) but I finally did it once I admitted to myself that it was ME who was the asshole - not the 100+ people that always were pissed at me. \n\nI’ll admit - Smart phones and map apps helped a ton. \n\nThat being said - justifying lateness is an excuse if you’re habitually late and that’s just the truth. Anyone can be on time once they take serious steps to do so. \n\nNow I just roll my eyes when I hear people constantly make excuses about why they weren’t on time for the 20th time. The good news is, I generally stop counting on those people after only a few chances so that helps minimize the frustration I may feel from it personally.",

"Massive Court Corruption\nTwo public defenders from the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association, Heather J. Chesnut and Daniel Torrence, conspired to put their own client in jail for challenging his charges and refusing to plead guilty. They are now being sued.\n\nTheir client Luis Sanchez, since the inception of the criminal case, had been claiming his innocence and had demanded a jury trial. He had also made multiple and unsuccessful requests to have crucial video evidence released to him concerning the arrest.\n\nFor years, his defense attorneys had been pressuring him to plead guilty without ever receiving or reviewing video evidence that police had in their possession. Sanchez felt so frustrated by the lack of help he had been receiving from his primary attorney Heather Chesnut, that he was forced to file his own legal motions in District Court.\n\nBackground\nThe case stemmed from a charge that alleged that Sanchez had failed to stop at the command of a police officer. In an early December morning of 2014, police had been dispatched near a residence where a party had taken place, and where a fight had been reported. When police arrived, Sanchez and multiple other people in different vehicles were in the process of driving away.\n\nOne responding officer was Jared Cardon from the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake. In his police report, officer Cardon states that once he arrived near the residence, he saw three vehicles getting ready to leave. Officer Cardon then states that he stepped out of his patrol vehicle and stretched his arms out and signaled the vehicle closes to him to stop.\n\nCourt records from an evidentiary hearing offers testimony where Sanchez declares he was the second vehicle in line. Sanchez as well as officer Cardon, state that the first vehicle in line had stopped once Cardon gave him a gesture to stop. Both Sanchez and officer Cardon then declare that the first car in line drove around the officer and accelerated away.\n\nNext is where the issue arises. Officer Jared Cardon claims that Sanchez was driving the first car in line. He also states that he slammed his hand on the hood of Sanchez’s car in an effort to order him to stop.\n\nMr. Sanchez and multiple other witnesses affirm that Sanchez was the second car in line and that they never saw any officer slam the hood of Sanchez’s car, nor any other vehicle that was about to drive away.\n\nSanchez states he was never given a direct order to stop. He reveals that he only drove away after waiting a significant amount of time after officer Cardon had ran into his patrol vehicle, due to the first car that had sped away. Believing they were not being sought by police, Sanchez and the other vehicle behind him resumed driving.\n\nOfficer Cardon refutes this and claims that the first car in line was that of Sanchez. He alleges that Sanchez willfully ignored numerous commands to stop and that he sped away while the other two vehicles waited. He explains that the blatant disregard to his commands to stop, led him to charge Sanchez with fleeing and subsequently with DUI and resisting arrest.\n\nSystematic Police Corruption\nOfficer Cardon’s version of events and the order of the vehicles is heavily contradicted through court testimony and by multiple witnesses.\n\nIn March of 2017, after hearing the testimony of multiple witnesses concerning the arrest and specifically the order of the vehicles, Judge Bruce Lubeck determined that, “The second vehicle, a Toyota Camry, was driven by defendant.” Judge Lubeck was convinced that Mr. Sanchez was the second car in line when officer Jared Cardon approached the scene. Nonetheless, the case and the charges against Sanchez continued.\n\nThroughout the case, Sanchez had been persistent in attempting to acquire police dash cam, and police station recordings because he believed he could prove that officer Jared Cardon was lying about what really occurred that morning of his arrest. He was convinced the video would prove he did not flee, resist arrest, nor that he was impaired to drive as he affirms that he had performed all field sobriety tests and completed them successfully.\n\nOfficer Cardon declared in court that Sanchez only took one field sobriety test and refused further testing. At a different time, he stated he did not remember if Sanchez completed them, at even another hearing, he declared that Sanchez did complete all tests but failed them all. Officer Jared Cardon changed and heavily contradicted his own testimony throughout the case. Video recordings of the arrest would have clarified all doubts of what truly had occurred.\n\nFive years into the case and Unified Police Department failed to ever provide any videos regarding the arrest. They claim that the dash cam recordings of the vehicles were never saved due to a system malfunction and that the videos from the police department were ultimately deleted and never saved.\n\nThis destruction of exculpatory evidence was a clear violation of Sanchez’s constitutional right to due process. The state is required to retain and provide any exculpatory evidence that was ever in their possession and that may help a defendant in their case. Due to the destruction of this evidence, Sanchez was not afforded the opportunity to adequately defend himself against the State and its actors. This constitutional violation could have forced the prosecution to dismiss the charges against Sanchez if Heather Chesnut and Daniel Torrence would have brought it to the attention of the court.\n\nHeather Chesnut and Daniel Torrence not only failed to represent Sanchez adequately, but they also used the criminal justice system to punish him for attempting to exercise his constitutional right to be tried by a jury of his peers.\n\nDespite constant pressure from his attorneys to plead guilty, Sanchez remained determined to go to trial. This unwavering determination angered Heather Chesnut and Daniel Torrence. This meant they would have to prepare for the case and subsequently go to trial.\n\nSanchez states that on one meeting, Heather Chesnut questioned him why he wanted to go to trial and become a felon for the fleeing charge. She asked him if he was intending to be initiated into a gang, that this was the only reason why she believed he would want to go to trial. Sanchez replied that he did not want to plead guilty for something he did not do.\n\nConspiring Against their Own Client\nOn the morning of March 19th, 2018, Sanchez was scheduled to appear for a pretrial conference at 9 a.m., but Heather Chesnut and Daniel Torrence had a different plan. They conspired to have a warrant issued against their own client, by having his case called early and before he was to be present in court. This was all caught by courtroom audio and video recordings.\n\nIn a video acquired by Sanchez, Torrence is heard whispering to Chesnut, “Let’s call it and get a warrant,” as he proceeds to laugh. Chesnut points to the clock on the wall, the time is 8:39 a.m., Sanchez and dozens of other individuals are not scheduled for court for another 21 minutes.\n\n“Is it time?”, Torrence asks Heather, “8:40? Ok. Four Minutes? 8:45.”\n\nFive minutes pass and Chesnut tells the judge they are ready to proceed on Sanchez’s case. It is 8:45 a.m., and the prosecutor walks over to address the court and participate in the scheme.",
"Prosecutor and Judge – Corruption at the Highest Level\nTorrence gets up from the attorney’s table and calls for Sanchez as he makes a show of scanning the courtroom in search of him. As he doesn’t see Sanchez, he shrugs his shoulders and immediately turns and looks at Prosecutor Nathanael Swift. Swift, right on cue, exclaims – “But he always comes in late”.\n\nJudge Katie Bernanrds-Goodman calls Sanchez’s case and asks Chesnut and Torrence if they are not expecting Sanchez to arrive, as she is aware of the time and that court hearings are not to start for another 15 minutes.\n\nTorrence explains, “I always expect him although last time he was not here, and it was only after my secretary called him that he remembered to come”.\n\nCourt documents show that on the previous court hearing, Daniel Torrence failed to appear for the scheduled pretrial conference, and that judge Bernards-Goodman was forced to reschedule it. Torrence’s statement was nothing but a deliberate and false accusation against his own client.\n\nProsecutor Swift then exclaims, “Mr. Sanchez has a history of coming in very late. He has missed a few altogether.”.\n\nCourt records indicate that Mr. Sanchez had been late to court once, and that he had missed two court hearings in the span of 5 years of which the case had been active. In one of the missed court hearings, Sanchez’s bond company called the court explaining that they had given Sanchez the wrong court date.\n\nIt was now clear to the judge what was taking place. A concerted act by both defense attorneys and prosecutor, to have a warrant issued against Sanchez for failing to appear.\n\nJudge Bernards-Goodman proceeds to order a $15,000 cash-only warrant against Sanchez. A cash-only warrant meant that Sanchez would not be able to seek the services of a bail bond company. The full bail amount would be required to be paid in cash in exchange for his release.\n\nOnce the warrant was ordered, the court clerk asked the judge, “So, what are we going to do when he shows up?” the judge replied, “We’re going to take him into custody”, as she proceeds to laugh.\n\nSanchez Enters the Lion’s Den\nOn an interview given to The Salt Lake Tribune, Sanchez tells reporter, Jessica Miller, that on the hearing of March 19th, he had arrived early to court. He said he spent a few minutes waiting in his car to kill time before entering the court.\n\nSanchez states he was outside the courtroom doors by 9 a.m. He also claims he attempted to walk inside but that the courtroom was overcrowded. This was evident from courtroom video recordings.\n\nSanchez said he waited outside for the courtroom to clear up a little before he attempted to find a seat. He explains he did not go in because he had many times been instructed to wait outside and not block the doors for it being a safety hazard.\n\nAt 9:07 a.m. the courtroom had briefly cleared up and Sanchez walks in. A few minutes later, the courtroom again overflowing, and bailiff Steve Adams can be seen instructing people to go outside.\n\nAt 9:17 a.m., Sanchez eventually walks up to Chesnut and asks her where Torrence is. She informs him that his case had been called and that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. She instructs him to wait until his case is once again called by the judge. In the video, prosecutor Swift can be seen looking directly at Chesnut and Sanchez while they are speaking.\n\nSanchez then waits for over an hour-and-a-half before prosecutor Nathanael Swift finally decides to tell the judge that Sanchez is present. Judge Bernards-Goodman replies by saying that she will wait and see if Sanchez calls his case as she proceeds to laugh. She finds it amusing what is taking place and what they’re about to consummate.\n\nA few seconds pass and judge Bernards-Goodman orders bailiff Adams to arrest Sanchez. He is arrested and spends almost two weeks in jail until he is able to come up with the bail amount.\n\nAssault on the Justice System\nThis was not only an assault on Sanchez, but more severely, it was an assault on our Justice System. If people lose trust in their system of justice, what grave consequences can follow? It puts the fabric of our society in jeopardy.\n\nWhy would people willingly walk into a courtroom if they know they have no chance at a fair trial nor due process – where an entire courtroom is willing to act with complete disregard of the law and without any consequences.\n\nAs of March of 2021, there have been no consequences to any of the perpetrators. Judge Bernards-Goodman retired with full benefits; prosecutor Nathanael Swift still holds his position. Salt Lake Legal Defender Association zealously defends the actions of Heather Chesnut and Daniel Torrence. Officer Jared Cardon and the Unified Police Department keep violating people’s constitutional rights. Nothing has changed since the initial release of this video.\n\nIf nothing is done after irrefutable video evidence of the systematic corruption withing the justice system, nothing will ever be done.\n\nWe demand that a criminal investigation be initiated against all parties involved in this heinous attack on our system of justice. All these attorneys should be disbarred including the prosecutor and judge. We will not rest until something is done.\n\nWe will be contacting different government agencies responsible for investigating such acts and we will be reporting their response and actions in regard to this case. We will see how deep the corruption goes and how far they will defend these crimes against the people they are supposed to protect.\n\nLuis Sanchez was offered a significant amount of money in exchange for his silence. If accepted, he would have been barred from speaking about what happened to him and about what goes on in our courts, he refused. “This case is bigger than me. This case is more important than money. Something needs to be done, something needs to change. I don’t want anyone to go through what I did.”, Sanchez expressed in an interview.\n\nThe Entire System is Corrupt\nCorruption withing the entire system of justice was necessary in order for this case to be possible. From false police reports, deliberate withholding and destruction of evidence from UPD, to an entire courtroom participating in the unlawful arrest of Sanchez.\n\nWe are in the process of producing an updated video of this incident with responses from government agencies in charge of investigating cases of governmental corruption. It will also cover in detail, the false reports from police and their contradicting statements in court, as well as their deliberate withholding of evidence. It will also contain more evidence of Chesnut and Torrence’s egregious actions against Sanchez.\n\nThis is not in isolated incident. There are more people who have and who continue to suffer from similar actions from their attorneys, police, and court actors. \n\nYou Can Make a Difference\nSanchez is still in the process of challenging his criminal convictions via the Postconviction Relief Act due to the heinous actions and ineffective assistance of his attorneys. If you would like to help with his attorney fees and expenses, please donate here. Any additional funds will be used to fund our investigations and production costs.\n\nYou can also help by contacting the Attorney General’s Office and demand that a full investigation be made against all perpetrators involved in this case.\n\nSend an email to the Attorney General’s Office and demand a full and transparent investigation at uag@agutah.gov\n\nYou can make a difference.

This defendant is not the persecuted victim he is pretending to be. I have a BiG problem with people who keep me waiting, but even the worst chronically late people I know are not reckless or narcissistic enough to show up late for court! Who in his right mind keeps the judge and prosecutor who have control over his future waiting? *Repeatedly?* The criminal justice system in the US is warped and no one disputes the fact that there are corrupt judges and DAs. But manufacturing or embellishing evidence of corruption is not merely counterproductive--it actually serves to protect and encourage corruption, by causing people to doubt and dismiss future legitimate allegations.

"He’s a public defender they always side with the prosecution",
"His defender says he’s late a lot?\n\nProsecutor says he’s late a lot?\n\nVideo tells me he was late once and absent once out of 10 prior court appearances. I have no evidence that he was late more than once and absent more than once besides the video saying so but based on the honesty track record for the court, the video editor(s) are likely telling the truth.\n\n**HOWEVER**\n\nThe fact that he saunters in late by 7 minutes is astounding it me. There is literally nothing more important than a court appearance - besides a personal/family medical emergency - for your criminal case. I’m absolutely astounded that he has the gall to slowly walk in at 9:07 after 10 previous court dates for a criminal case; one where he was late and another where it missed it. Regardless of your innocence or guilt, due process cannot happen if you disrespect the process. “But poor people are paid hourly!” Show up late, miss court dates, get arrested, and lose your job then. Those are your choices regardless of whether or not you think it is fair. He got arrested and spent 2 weeks in jail. \n\nTalk to any good criminal defense attorney: never ever miss your court date (you can reschedule but abuse this and you’ll get an arrest warrant), and absolutely never be late. The courts hand you a paper that says to show up 15-30 minutes early (depending on the court). You walk into the courtroom 15 minutes prior to your scheduled hearing. Not 7 minutes late. Not even right on time. Early. People are coming up before you and after. You’re not more important than they are. You don’t get to disrespect the court and all the other people appeareing before court that day. Of all the appointments in your life, court dates are not things you should be late to. Ever. Being absent for a criminal court appearance usually results in an arrest warrant - the fact that a warrant wasn’t issued for his first absence is not normal (the court was being lenient).\n\nI wonder how much is retaliation for him being late/missing prior (this is illegal and unconstitutional: you have a right to a fair and speedy trial - Sixth Amendment)? From both the prosecutor and defender. The judge just goes along with it because those are her “workplace buddies.” No excuse.",

"So apparently you've never heard of the Sixth Amendment. Please allow me to enlighten you on yours and Mr. Sanchez's guaranteed rights at a federal level, as written by the Founding Fathers, and as has been precedent since the dawn of our nation:\n\n*In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.*\n\nIt literally does not matter what he did, or what you or I think he did or didn't do. He has a right, just like you and me, to a fair trial and a defense that will represent his interests.\n\nThe defense attorney, prosecutor, and judge conspired against him. Plain and simple, clear cut, transparent corruption and a complete disregard for the Constitution of the United States. That's not just mistrial territory, it's blatantly illegal. A defense attorney and prosecutor, in no state, can ever conspire toward anything against a defendant. For a judge to also partake (gleefully laughing at it while doing so) makes this even worse. The three consciously knew exactly what they were doing - these three know exactly what the Sixth Amendment says, they know exactly their limitations, they knew what territory they were stepping into, and they did it anyway.\n\nAlso, it's hypocritical to state he's in the wrong for being a few minutes late, but it's okay for them to issue a warrant for being late before he was ever late in the first place. If he's held to time standards, they must also be held to those same standards for the courts to be considered fair.",

And, I'd suggest to you and others, that I could very easily make a case that certain answers to my questions above would make YOU and everyone else definitely conclude that this guy is a jerk and a manipulator.

Before all these methods of providing proof the word of the officer who swore an oath wouldve been the leading factor but nowadays you dont need that anymore if cameras are present.

Though there's a lot we don't know, or at least I don't.\n\nIANAL but as far as I understand if you aren't present when your case is called, the judge can issue a bench warrant for failure to appear, period. If it was before scheduled time, that's one thing. If it was literally 0 minutes late, and you're not there - that's a problem. Whether it's the first time, or etc.\n\nJudge can decide not to for a bunch of reasons - if it WAS the first time, if it really was just a few minutes but you did appear, if they have a really valid excuse, etc. But that's judge's call. I think. I mean, you need to really make sure you're there on time, in general. The court really really doesn't like \n\nMy personal feelings?\n\nIf it's his first time and he was 7 minutes late? Yeah, I think that's BS. If it's someone's 50th time and this was a \"last straw\" with lots of warnings? I'm not sure it'd be out of line. I mean, there has to be some kind of realistic limit, right? So the circumstances matter, and I don't know what they were. The SLT article made me think that at least maybe this WAS his 3rd or more time, so I dunno.\n\nBut yeah, I don't know all the circumstances and just going off what I've read, which is mostly stuff that lines up with this video, but some that isn't in there. I don't 100% fault the judge for issuing a warrant the second he was late. Seems like overkill to me, but if she did believe it was the latest in a pattern of behavior, I can see it. \n\nWhat seems like really *clearly* sucks is how, yeah, she obviously was chiding him based on the idea that he was there an hour and a half late (I'd believe she didn't realize he was there until they were told, then people were acting like he just showed up). Then she didn't reconsider when she found out he was there at least an hour before she thought (when prosecutor said 9:38). Then the PD didn't say anything at all when he mentioned he spoke to her at 9:15. Etc. I think there's a good chance the judge wouldn't have executed the warrant if she realized he was there ONLY a few minutes late, but by that point it HAD been executed.\n\nOh, AND the guy's personal PD throwing him under the bus because he appeared to be fed up. That sucks too. I mean, there might be real reasons to be fed up, but you're the guy's lawyer, that's absolutely not in your client's best interest even if you have a personal problem with him. That's the biggest one.\n\nEdit: Oh yeah, plus that clerk's fucking grin the whole time and the whole unprofessionalness of everyone's attitudes suck. They're just dealing with another \"perp\" who they're not really treating like a full human. Just a child who's misbehaving.

Completely free, with people I met the same day... And in most cases politics and even religion are a part of the conversations... And even though discussions sometimes get a little hot I have never experienced what I experienced many times in America: disagreement on even one single issue would cause people to just walk away and not wanna talk with me about anything, ever again.. \n\nI believe the position I describe is highly American, and you going head on calling me an asshole right of the bat just proves my point... Why do you feel the need to assume I am an asshole just because I enjoy discussing politics...? \n\nMany Americans turn to unpleasantness and rudeness like a light switch whenever someone has an opposing political view. And I just find that so off putting... \n\nAnd through my two months over there I found that this lack of ability to have a good discourse pretty universal of both sides of your political spectrum... Just different triggers... \n\nI have traveled all over the world since the early nineties and I have never experienced such inability to 'agree to disagree' as I did in America... \n\nIf you wanna have a good time with an American you have to weigh your words all the time because suddenly you say something that would not lift an eyebrow in most countries, but in America you are suddenly an asshole and needs to be chased out of the state... \n\nI did manage to get to experience a few nights in American homes aswell, but only after I had figured out that Americans are insecure snowflakes and you need to treat them as children in order to not be seen as a \"fucking asshole\".. \n\nI basically had to lie and pretend to either be republican or democrat depending on what the person I was talking to adhered to.",

Especially if what he is claiming, only been late once, was true.\n\nFinally this appears to be from 2015 (when crime occurred) and hasn’t really hit mainstream news.

"As a former prosecutor, I have dealt with plenty asshole defendants that do show up late and piss off their own attorneys.\n\nOne thing I noticed is that this video says what time things occurred, and but never shows a clock or a timestamp. Mighty suspicious when this guy’s whole case rests on when things happened.\n\nOne big giveaway to me that this video is highly editorialized if not completely false, is that the video editor says “Court proceedings begin at 9.” But the court was already hearing cases before 9, according to their own time frame they gave. Which means that court proceedings obviously do not begin at 9, they likely began earlier and this guy was actually late. My courtrooms all started at 8:30.\n\nThe one big thing that I did notice that was weird about the judge’s conduct was issuing the warrant so early (after 9 like she said). Usually the judges I would appear in front if would wait until the end of the day, or noon at the earliest to issue warrants. And even then, if the defendant shows up when cases are still being called, the warrant would usually be recalled.\n\nBut anyway, my take on this is that the conduct by all parties is a little weird, but I can’t take what this video says at face value without more evidence.

The type of hearing this is is what ultimately dictates the time he has to arrive. If this is an arraignment or anyway, he could have appeared 977 via his PD. If this is a PTH then he would obviously have to be present. It doesn't matter if his docket was called at 9:00 a.m. if his NoH says that he has to appeared 8:30, that's when he has to appear. Period. Often, doors close at 8:30 even if dockets are called until 9:00 a.m. . If you're not in, you're FTA. Period. The lenience on these rules ofc, vary by judge and court however. (This judge just seemed like a bitch, and most would not have done what she did, though technically it's her right to do so). That being said, the only real criminal here, ethically speaking, is the PD. It's her oath to defend our client, and she threw him into the bus. It's the Prosecutor's job to carry out Justice, and if this case really was one that was tied up in a PTH chain, the prosecutor did what was logical the people, as a prosecutor.

"I'm an attorney who used to practice primarily criminal defense or prosecution. While I never practiced in Utah, their procedures and substance are not that different than other states. First, no dui drags on for 5 years. Second, there's no such thing as ineffective assistance of counsel findings prior to a criminal conviction. Third, the prosecutor not speaking up when he referenced the time did not mean the prosecutor was doing something wrong but rather the prosecutor wasn't disagreeing with them. Fourth, defense attorneys often have to get photographs have their clients from a source like Facebook to put inside the file so they can keep there clients distinct from other clients, so a prosecutor or judge would have an even harder time recognizing a person just by their face. Sixth, only career criminals would have dozens and dozens of court hearings. Seventh, the defendant did not disagree about previously being warned regarding showing up late.\n\nNone of this means he couldn't be screwed over in some way or another, but there are a lot of red flags.

For instance, in NYC anyone charged with a non-violent misdemeanor first offense gets to walk. Period. No options to retain them in jail at all.

Texas is lenient as hell. Bond conditions say don't get arrested, don't drink alcohol, no guns? Same guy with the knife, got arrested for DUI and a weapons charge while out on bond for the knife attack. Was bond revoked?

">I'm going to operate under the assumption that the in-video captions regarding previous hearings are accurate as they are referencing court records\n\nThis is put up by a youtube channel with no real history claiming to have based everything on court records. It also plays ominous music to form the viewers impressions at points - which no actual legal researcher would do. There's no more reason to trust its claims than a random reddit account making claims without actually presenting evidence. You can see comments here all the time that say \"the evidence x shows y\" that just straight up lie. \n\n\nEVEN trusting the video though, Sanchez's claims are just incoherent. Consider the following. \n\n\n1) To believe him - Sanchez was not drunk driving, but a cop decided to arrest and charge him anyways. He was then appointed defense attorneys that conspired against him. Of course, there are crooked cogs in the system - but the combo of crooked cop / crooked defense attorney should raise some suspicion. \n\n\n2) The defense attorneys take his case for FIVE years, attend multiple hearings, and after all that time decide to conspire to throw him in prison. \n\n\n3) There really is no possible motive here for the defense attorneys. \"They wanted to be finished with the case\" - they can just drop the case. Much easier and less messy than setting up their own client. \n\n\n4) They were conspiring against him before 9! \n\n\nIf your client is going to be arrested if they arrive before 9, and has a history of showing up late - what time would you tell them to show up? ANY lawyer is going to say \"Be there at 8\". In all likelihood, they agreed to meet there well before 8:40, and he didn't show - hence why they got ready to call it at 8:45 \n\n\n5. If Sanchez had showed up on time and still been arrested - obviously this would be unfair. But he was told he would be arrested if he was late - and he still showed up late. The end result isn't really unfair to him - its just a hypothetical case of whether they would have been unfair if he had been on time. \n\n\n6. There's no motive for the conspiracy here. The alleged conspiracy wouldn't have mattered (if the warrant was issued at 9 - he still would have been arrested). \n\n\n7. Its blatantly clear that Sanchez showed up late - and that he was warned of the consequences beforehand. Yet he doesn't accept responsibility for that. If you know someone doesn't accept responsibility for a mistake you KNOW they made - and then they tell you everything else is someone elses fault - that should tell you something",

">It's just that Americans tend to think they are somehow special in this regard.\n\nI think that's disingenuous a tad bit.\n\nFirst, not all Americans, obviously. Pretending 300+ million all believe a single thing is ridiculous.\n\nPart of the issue IS that it is hard to compare the US to other countries BECAUSE of the size, population, and the way we are a federation of states as a single entity. This leads to comparisons that are not quite 1:1. It isnt because the US is special, it is because making shit comparisons isn't special. You CAN compare the US to other countries, but the land size, diversity, and population size leads to issues small countries do not have to even think about. These differences tend to be conveniently ignored during those comparisons.\n\nWhich is why comparing the US to the EU - even though we all know that isn't quite right either - is more fair of a comparison overall. It is closer to how the US operates overall than comparing... say, the US to France. Comparing the US to the EU would be more fair overall at this point, but that breaks down these arguments immediately, as again... the comparison isn't quite right. But, closer to parity than the US to (insert European country here)\n\nEach state has its own laws, own taxes, own systems of government that are separate from the federal government. The Federal Gov simply supercedes SOME laws... not all, as some laws cannot be overturned by the feds unless they break constitutional law. This leads to differences in states you simply do not see elsewhere to the same extent, unless you were looking specifically at the EU. Our regions have their own cultural, social, and political norms like differing countries... that's why the comparison to the EU, while not perfect, is a lot more equitable than comparing a country the size of a medium sized state in population and region.\n\n> I mean there are smaller and bigger countries\n\nThere are only 2 \"bigger\" in population, and only 3 bigger in regional size - China is the only country that is both. This absolutely impacts a lot. \n\n> And I assumed the person making that argument about wealthy countries actually meant mainly western countries, and the person originally making that comment confirmed my assumption later. \n\nWhich means they were being Eurocentric, right? Why compare only Western countries and not other affluent countries from other parts of the world. \n\nAnd even with that in mind, it also means they ignore many EU countries to make the comparisons. No one is comparing Greece, Italy, or Spain.",

Many others knew he was routinely negligent, but i was the first person to file official complaint to management, and there are rules and laws that say you can do so confidentially. Well, my manager was a huge douche who just didnt get along with me, he tried various ways of trying to \"out me\" as the whistleblower like \"let me film you doing what he was doing to the patient so i can show the accused\", when i refused, my assistant manager got me late in the day to \"come talk to her\" and she took me upstairs to a conference room and when i opened the door, surpprise! It was my manager and the employee id made the complaint against. She lied about why she wanted to talk to me, and led me to the office under false pretenses. He was hoping that if he out me on the spot that id just drop it and say i made a mistake. So im there face to face with this guy with him burning holes through me, and cursing at me saying that he didnt do aything, and saying im full of shit etc. They didnt fire him. After that i had to work with this guy and it was a very toxic enviornment. He was fired a couple weeks later for an unrelated incident. After that, the manager (his friend) was out to get me and was interviewing employees trying to find ANY dirt on me. Everyone was angry, everyone knew it was wrong. I ended up getting written up for multiple bullshit accusations a month later and was given a \"final notice\" for write ups, even though id had zero write ups in four years. He was able to use one right up that featured multiple \"issues\" to make it count as four write ups at one time. So after that i was on final notice and was fired four months later for leaving five minutes early. Once. (Because final notice) i wasnt going to sue for how i was fired (although maybe i could have) but for ignoring confidentiality on reporting patient abuse and making me confront the coworker i reported.

The most basic rules are no drinking, no illegal drugs, no violent behavior, if you have a victim you can't contact them, if you have guns you have to hand them over to someone (in my state to anyone you want, you can't keep them or use them). \n\nthe monetary thing isn't there in a lot of bails. The biggest times it is needed is when the court has a hard time getting money out of someone, the monetary part helps get that cash or they won't get out of jail. Then they use the money to pay the fines you have been skipping out on.",

California gave departments a few month \"grace period\" to let them gather documents for submission. In those few months the city of Fremont destroyed decades worth of old records as part of \"routine recordkeeping\". They were not the only city to engage in this.\n\nAlmost all police departments have polices for records retention and a schedule for record purging that require the destruction of documents after a few years (usually 5-10). For example, Section 913.11 \"Retention and Purging\" of the city of Redding's police personnel policies specify that after 5 years records of misconduct are AUTOMATICALLY DESTROYED unless the Chief of Police determines the records need to be kept.\n\nWhat other job in the world automatically destroys records of misconduct after a few years?

We were all charged with a felony and then they offered a plea bargain; if we plead guilt they would reduce the charges to a misdemeanor and we’d pay a fine. Between the four of us the fine would have covered the cost to replace the slide. My family paid for an attorney who told us that Davis County police do this often. They arrest kids and charge them with crimes knowing that they can scare them into pleading guilty and get them to pay fines so they can reduce tax spending.

">Ethically, morally, or even legally? I’m genuinely curious.. was it ok? I don’t think it was but I’m open to reasoning if you think it was.\n\nIts good to look at this from both a legal and ethical component in terms of what the defendant is entitled to. \n\n\nLegally, he is entitled to an attorney that doesn't commit malpractice - and that's about it. Not an attorney that gets you a good deal, not even an attorney that tries their best - or even one that gives your case much attention. That's about it. \n\n\nEthically, you can argue that you're entitled to a public defender that at least does their best given the circumstances. \n\n\nThing is - if you're a public defender - you probably have more clients than you can really handle - because your office is almost definitely underfunded. Some of them will be reasonable people that made a mistake, some will be truly innocent of the charges, and some will be assholes that are obviously guilty but refuse to listen to your advice, and convince themselves they can escape any consequences. \n\n\nSo in this case, the lawyer tells his client to take a deal. Given the context from what i read - the case is probably a lost cause. Maybe he really is innocent and just up against strong evidence, but more likely he's guilty and doesn't want to accept that. The defendant says no, I want to go to trial. \n\n\nOk. In reality this means the defender has to spend his time preparing for and arguing a lost-cause trial for a guy that he thinks is probably guilty of drunk driving. This means the attorney has less time to spend on cases where people actually listen to his advice, and people who actually have a chance of winning their trial. \n In the vast majority of cases, the defendant insisting on fighting it makes things worse for everyone - the attorney, other defendants, and themselves. It drains resources from the system. But hey - he has a right to an attorney, and he has the right to a trial. That's how the system works. \n\n\nSo you spend a few years working on the case, because the defendant was adamant about going to trial against advice of counsel. Fine. But now the defendant who is demanding that everyone put in this extra work so he can go to trial ... starts coming in late.

He then goes through the field sobriety tests and passed everything except he said he could see in my eyes that I was drunk when he shined his light pen in my eyes and said look this way and that. So I’m read my rights and hand cuffed then put in his car. He decides to search my car and finds nothing, but he took his sweet time so nearly 45 minutes passed before he brought me in to do the breathalyzer test. He waited the mandatory 15 minutes then I took the test. I blew a 0.03.

Needless to say I was out about 10,000 and had to miss about fifteen days of work for all the hearings and meetings because the cop was an “expert” and he knew I was drunk when he pulled me over but not when I took the breathalyzer. So if the cop wants you there is nothing you can do. This is when I learned when you get pulled over don’t say anything and refuse any “tests” no matter what.",

Literally says that she won't talk to my wife (her client) when I was present. \n\n\nWhile I'm not present, this is when she bullies my wife.

"It's a very cozy relationship between court-appointed criminal defense attorneys, the judges who appoint them, and the prosecutors who they're supposed to be engaged in adversarial proceedings with. \n\nUgly stuff, but that's why we're fortunate to have a constitutional right to public proceedings, so at least it can't all happen behind closed doors.",
"Stuff like this should cause judges to be lose their honorable seats",
"The thing that always bothered me about the bail system is that before trial, they put you in jail anyway, no matter what your crime, but if you have money, you can get out?\n\nI actually had the dubious pleasure of experiencing the system first hand last year.\n\nWe live in an apartment complex for the disabled (my wife and I both are) and we were in the laundry facility. A person had had their stuff in both dryers for two days, so I went to get a bag to put it in for when/if they came back. When I came back, the person was there and attacking my wife. Naturally, I defended her, for which I was arrested alongside the attacker. \n\nI couldn't post bail for five days because the judge was out of town, all of which I spent in their psychiatric hold cell because it was the only one free, so basically solitary, but they don't turn the lights off at night. The really fucked up part is, *they never charged me with a crime*! But I also had a $2,000 bond of which we had to pay $400... when our monthly income is less than $1,500. Fortunately my mom came through and got me out. Never saw a dime of my bail bond back but also was never charged and held in solitary for 5 days.\n\nYeah, bail is a fucked up system that is essentially a tax for even being suspected of a crime.",

"Look at you with all your acronyms that don't communicate anything to anyone outside of your line of work! Well, nobody can really comment, so that's why you're getting downvoted instead of engaged.\n \nI'm sure there's nuance here. There always is. Sanchez did walk into the court room at 9:07, which is after 9. The court discussed what to do if he walked in before 9, and they still said arrest him (so maybe there's something about him needing to check in sooner like I think one of your acronyms means?), but we don't know.\n \nI do know that the judge and multiple others did lie (yes lie, objectively) about when he did in fact step foot in that room by video evidence.\n \nWhy do that -- by order of hours -- if being even a minute past 8:45 sufficed? Why lie when the truth does the trick?",
"Your cynicism isn't the same as critical thinking or street smarts, FYI. \n\nIt's super obvious just from the way the lawyers, bailiff, clerk and judge are acting and talking that they know they're pulling some shit. The entire discussion about setting the time of the warrant, where the clerk is whining about how *she's* the one who has to fake it, not the bailiff who volunteers the \"court's time\" suggestion, is a pretty clear illustration of what's going on.\n\nI'm not rushing to judgment; I've been in a shit load of courtrooms and I've seen this kind of thing happen an unfortunate number of times, so I recognize it for what it is.",
"Same. I want to type but I feel exhausted so I'll just talk a little bit about this. I actually just got out 2 months ago I made a post on legal advice about this and what I experienced while I was in jail. It's crazy the only reason I got out and got two years probation was because I was able or my family was able to hire an attorney and the felony was dropped to a misdemeanor. But it's so sad to see other people in there with my same charge or even smaller in there for months and months and months sometimes even a year just because they have a court appointed attorney who doesn't give a damn. My mental health has declined dramatically since I've gotten out because of what I experienced in there. They kept me on suicide watch for 14 days. 14 days they wouldn't let me advance into a regular holding cell so I could finally go upstairs to get a bed. While I was in there I wasn't allowed to have any contact with the outside world but I tried to calm down because I knew that my family would be freaking out and I knew that they would have an attorney on the way. When they finally called me out to talk to my attorney my attorney told me that he had been there every single day since I was booked to try to see me and that they wouldn't let him see me. I don't know why. I thought it was a basic right. I asked the guard on the guard told me that my attorney must be lying to me because they would have pulled me out. Yeah right.\n\n After that I freaked out about being in suicide watch I started getting paranoid that they weren't going to call me out for my court date and other things since they did that to me. I didn't want to be in suicide watch. But the doctor supposedly ordered that I stay in there until I detoxed off of methadone so I didn't have a choice. It's crazy that they took me out after 14 days because when I got out of jail I looked it up and apparently the legal limit of solitary confinement is 15 days. You can do way more but the thing about regular solitary confinement is you get your hour a day out but when you're in a suicide holding cell you get no hour out. So I was in there 24/7 for those 14 days. At one point I started believing that they were just conspiring against me. I only got two showers. Even when I started my period and was bleeding they still wouldn't showered me I was lucky if I even got two pads a day. Which I then had to make shift into tampons because you're not allowed to have any clothes in suicide watch not even underwear. \n\n\nI won't even mention the sexual harassment and everything else I experienced. I always say that when I get out I'm going to do something but I'm always just so happy to be out that I want nothing to do with it but I actually want to keep my word this time and help the girls in there. \n\n\nAll of my offenses(2) have stemmed from my drug addiction either directly or indirectly. And being in there has done nothing for my mental health or my addiction. I'm just happy to be out right now but I've been having slip-ups I just had one last week and me and my family are trying. I'm seeing a therapist but it's hard. It's hard being in there and knowing what other people are experiencing in there. Once you know you just know. This video didn't surprise me at all. Now I'm on two years probation and I'm just terrified honestly that I'm going to do something that's going to send me back. And when I say do something I don't mean like a dangerous crime or crime at all. Something is simple as not paying your fines or being late like you saw in this video Will send you back. \n\n\n The first time I ever went to jail was on a class C misdemeanor my first charge for trying to steal a $12 shirt while I was active in my addiction. I ended up doing about 3 years probation because during the time I was pregnant with a high risk pregnancy so they had to extend it I did my classes and everything the only thing I couldn't do was pay my fees. So they actually picked me up for that and held me in jail my dad bailed me out and offered to pay everything that I owed which was thousands and just like that the judge dropped the case and the rest of my probation time thousands of dollars for $12 shirt I tried to take for my daughter that I didn't even end up stealing. The system is crazy. \n\n\nSometimes I don't want to speak up about it because I'm not going to lie my original charge was a dui. And I know people will look into it and we'll start telling me that I deserved it. But I'm not a bad person. I've never deliberately heard anybody. Ever. I would never hurt anybody and I don't deserve to be locked up like an animal. I live every single day terrified that I'm going to go back. Every time I see a cop I start shaking.

If that's too abstract they've had dozens of law suits about locking workers in (if us peons did it, it would be called kidnapping) and not paying them (hmm, what do you call someone you lock in and don't pay but make them work for you?)\n \n\nWithout money directly impacting our legal system (say being able to directly purchase your freedom, or choose a friendly judge) it still favors the wealthy.[ There are already two tiers of justice in the US](https://www.researchgate.net/blog/post/two-in-one-differences-in-the-us-justice-system-for-the-rich-and-the-poor) to think that allowing the rich to directly buy their freedom from prosecution is foolhardy. Or that the poor, who can't afford a lawyer in the current system, could some how afford an entire trial...\n \n\nWe actually already have a similar system in America to what you describe called binding arbitration. You agree to use it with pretty much every large company you do business with. [It turns out, when a company gets to pick and pay for the judge and the rules it tends not to go so well for those without money.](https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/11-10-13BlandTestimony.pdf) \n\n> In many cases, mandatory arbitration clauses have the effect of immunizing \ncorporations from any liability or accountability even when they have blatantly \nviolated consumer protection or civil rights laws. As a result, corporations are \nable to break consumer protection laws by doing things such as misleading \nconsumers about the costs of loans or engage in similar bait-and-switch practices, \nand the legal system does nothing to deter these behaviors or compensate cheated \nconsumers. \n\nAs bad as our justice system is, I at least can have a say in how it's run. Even if it's small.",

They repeatedly say he was late many, many times prior to this event, he never disputes this in court except later, in the text.\n\nSo what did we see here? A dude who has been late many times to his court dates, who’s missed court dates repeatedly shows up late to court again. He gets a warrant issued for his arrest to bring him to court when he doesn’t show up, this is all straightforward and legal. \n\nSo what’s actually odd here? His lawyer is rather unprofessional, but he’s a public defender, and this Sanchez guy doesn’t seem to give a flying fuck about the law - he’s clearly been to court many, many times before and doesn’t take it seriously.

Here’s what I found - he tried suing the courts for this original case claiming they took his blood illegally (that’s right he tested for 0.13 BAC after refusing a breathalyzer and they had to get a warrant for his blood at the station). And he lost this case a year ago, but that’s conveniently not mentioned here, instead he’s making some mountain out of the fact that the judge and the prosecutor were wrong about HOW late he was, when why would that matter?

If you don’t, you can be thrown in jail, or detained for the entirety of the proceeding. You are released on bond, not as a right to freedom, as a courtesy of the court. If you choose to miss ANY proceedings, or deprioritize the process, in jail waiting for trial is where you belong.\n\nHis defense attorney isn’t an enemy of the court. Every attorney, be it your defense attorney or whoever, has a first duty of candor to the court. None of the people involved in this proceeding determine the guilt of innocence of the defendant, that would happen at trial if one is to come.\n\nThis defense attorney almost certainly has dozens and dozens of clients, he doesn’t have some personal vendetta against this one guy to lose his case. Instead, unlike the defendant who doesn’t make his obligations a priority, this attorney has work to do and actually shows up for it. Being late ONCE or missing a hearing are both completely unacceptable, justifiable reasons for jail time.\n\nIt amazes me how little people know about the trial process, but everyone without familiarity with the legal system is going to be dumber and less informed after watching this highly misleading video, compiled by a dolt.",

The public defender's office rebuttal is currently b\"nuh-uh\" so they didn't add much to go on. \n\nNext some of what many people are taking issue with is the system, whether it was legally right or not. Putting someone in jail for two weeks for being late to a court hearing is absurd. It won't fix anything, and will likely cause more harm. \n\n>If you’re summoned to court for any reason, get your ass there\n\nYou heard the audio, did they not decide to go for a warrant well before the case was called? Did they not call his case before the appointed time? Did they not lie about the warrant time, lie about when he actually arrived? The subtitles didn't create the audio where they did those things. \n\n>his defense attorney almost certainly has dozens and dozens of clients,\n\nSure, I get PD offices are overworked, and that's a different issue, but they lied, it's on tape. Wouldn't being overworked pressure them to take the easy way out (settle vs trial)? This is an issue that gets talked about fairly often. That's not acting in his clients interest. According to the article, this video was 3 years after the arrest, how is that reasonable? Not to mention the fuckery from the police with the video. \n\n> actually shows up for it.\n\nAgain per our sources, the person only one who didn't show for a court date was the public defender. The article gave an opportunity to refute this and they didn't. \n\n>being late ONCE or missing a hearing are both completely unacceptable, justifiable reasons for jail time.\n\nI disagree, this will just make issues worst long term, two weeks in jail, and $15,000 bond is a clear attack on those without money. Making someone jobless or worse over this is not a reasonable response. Put them in jail for a night ok, go for it I guess. But the response was disproportionate to the action (which he didn't even commit, since it was called early, then he was there the next time it was called after the appointed time). \n\n\n>video, compiled by a dolt.\n\nSeems to be a bit of bias here from you.

If you want to go to law school so you have the ability to understand this stuff, go right ahead.\n\n“Well there’s audio”—so freaking what? Semantics as to how the information is conveyed? This is a pathetic attempt at drumming up something to disagree on.\n\nPlanning the warrant at the point was well beyond justified. Most clients are told to be at court an hour before the proceedings. If he has missed before, queueing up the proper process to get him into custody without delaying further proceedings is the right move. Further, it has absolutely no force of law until executed, so what is your point? They didn’t execute a warrant on him at 8:45 AM. You’re objecting to their planning process. Total nonsense.\n\nAnd no, they did not lie about anything. This guy was treated beyond fairly, with the guarantee of rights that are found in no non-democratic constitutional republics. All that’s required of him is that he follow court orders. It’s too bad he’s a bad person, a criminal, a scumbag who can’t hold to his obligations, but maybe if he had a better attitude/higher standards and contributed to society he wouldn’t be in the legal system anyway. He’s not a victim. He’s a criminal.\n\nAgain, they didn’t lie.\n\nAgain, the judge would handle that and any needed discipline if it happened. Even the biased subtitles mention that he has missed hearings in the past. He’s also been late at least once. These are no-tolerance sins. You do not miss court hearings when you are summoned. It’s different if a defendant misses than an attorney misses. The former is incomparably worse, something you don’t understand because you don’t know the system.\n\nI don’t care if you disagree and find this problematic. The guy deserves to be punished and it doesn’t make the “problem worse”. Letting him wander around committing crimes and blowing off the consequences, disrespecting the court by not showing up, etc. is what makes things worse.

"> So, no innocent until proven guilty?\n\nCorrect, the concept of 'innocent until proven guilty' is not as simple as the phrase. There are many steps to it, from investigating by the police, to the jury making a decision. If the actual practice of it was as simple as the phrasing it would be impossible to accomplish anything. If innocent till proven guilty, then no warrant could ever be issued for someones house to see if they have xyz in there, because of course they are innocent so their liberties can't be curved. If there was a mass shooting, no one could be accused as the perp. 'the guy had a green shirt and a purple ball cap on' 'hey that guy has a green shirt and a purple ball cap, lets detain him and ask him some questions and get a warrant to look through his bag' 'can't do it sir, he is innocent and we have no proof he is guilty, as such we can't detain him'. \n\nall my examples sound 'out there' because they are. Society couldn't function under those concepts. Peoples liberties have to be curtailed to a limited amount while an investigation and trial go on, as you get closer to \"this is the person\" the more liberties you can remove from the person.",

"The problem is, it's not considered hearsay because the cop is a witness. An honest one? Seems very unlikely. But in Mr. Sanchez and sooooooo many others' cases, it all boils down to what the cop says happened vs what the defendant says happened, and sadly courts tend to bias in favor of cops' testimonies even when all the evidence to support their testimony has mysteriously disappeared. Especially (but certainly not exclusively) in racist, ass-backwards states like Utah, Idaho, Texas, Alabama...\n\nAnother component to this as well is private prisons. It has happened more than once that judges unnecessarily incarcerated innocent or not-that-heinous offenders because the nearest private for-profit prison would give them a kickback on each prisoner (because the prison was getting more money for each prisoner). Imo, [this is the most disturbing and egregious example out there](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal) as it involved children. I wouldn't be at all surprised to later learn that the judge, prosecutor and public defender are getting kickbacks from a local private prison for every person locked away, justly or not.",

"From the way you said it, I was under the impression that the lawyers were trying to help their client by saying that he was \"caught up\" but still wound up being arrested.\n\nThat news article is inaccurate though. He arrived in the courtroom at 9:07AM not 9:05, and his lawyers got his case heard at 8:45 not 8:48. From what I understand, and this is going based off of what I've heard/read (not seen video evidence of it), he would have been early but there was already a crowd of people waiting to get into the court building. Because of this and the fact that they ask people to not form a line (or a long line?) to get into the building, he waited in his car (as suggested) and then proceeded to enter the building when he got a chance. It then took a few minutes to actually be past the front security check, thus his being late into the courtroom itself. So he followed guidelines, laws, etc., and got punished for it.",

Why would forcing him to stay in jail so he can actually stand trial be “clearly not justice”?

"Fair trial eh? Hysterical. My dude was blood tested at the station and was 2x the legal limit, several hours after his initial arrest. He even admitted he was drinking before driving. Homie tried claiming it wasn’t a dui because the police deleted the dashcam/police station footage 30 days after the arrest which was standard. Homie tried claiming they didn’t have the right to pull him over in the first place. He tried claiming they didn’t have the right to pull his blood. When that all failed he straight up didn’t show up to court, fired several different attorneys and requested new ones, sued the city, finally had to plead guilty after many years of trial, then completely lost his appeal as well.\n\nThat’s the history that lead up to this point. He showed up late (as was his habit during the 3 years of trial) and got the standard punishment for not showing up at the allotted time. Where was the issue with his trial? Do you think somehow him getting a dui for having 2x the legal limit of alcohol in his blood, and admitting he was drinking and driving is somehow unfair? \n\nDo you think maybe he’s a scumbag and is just lying in order to wring a couple of dollars from silly redditors who don’t want to look into this story at all, and just want to assume that the unprofessionalism of those in this video, who are understandably frustrated about how this character has drawn out the most open and shut case in the history of the law, is somehow a miscarriage of justice?",

He’s fired many lawyers, claimed because the police don’t have dashcam the blood evidence is invalid, claimed they didn’t have the right to arrest him or take his blood, shown up late repeatedly, completely not shown up and been dragged back to court by issue of warrant. \n\nHis lawyer is unprofessional, yes. But the fact is his lawyer said he was going to show up late (again) and he did actually show up late and got the standard punishment for being late. He’s a troublemaker and a fucking asshole, and everybody in that courtroom is understandably frustrated in him. \n\nNow, 7 years later, he’s trying to get money in gofundme from redditors, after suing several times, and appealing the case and losing. that is the purpose of this post",
"Yea the unscientific “took his blood at the station and he was 2x the legal limit hours after the arrest”. Surely, the dashcam would have been more scientific evidence",
"It’s not suspicious, like at all lmao. They took his blood at the station hours after his arrest and he was still 2x the legal limit. And he tried to claim that the dashcam video would somehow be stronger evidence that he wasn’t drunk over the bloodwork...\n\nNow tell me, what about this video is corrupt? He showed up late to court and got punished for it. Those in the courtroom are unprofessional, sure, but that’s a far cry from corruption.",
"But... it doesn’t say any of what he says, am I missing something? It says the tape starts at 845 and ends at 1046, but it doesn’t say that they called the warrant at 845, just that they started recording st that time, not particularly unreasonable considering they were just sitting around waiting for the trial to begin, and they were having conversations about the case.",
"Woah he claimed they offered him 45k settlement? This guy who’s definitely a completely trustworthy source? This guy who claims that a missing dashcam video would exonerate him of drunk driving, when they took his blood and he was 2x the legal limit? This guy who’s begging for money for a case where “they offered him a 45k settlement” for some reason, 7 years after the case, after he lost the trial, sued and won 1k, then lost several retrials? \n\nI wonder what motive this guy would have for lying on his gofundme page... I guess I’ll have to just “get real” like you",
"The video started before 0845. 0845 is the time the warrant was issued that's why it's noted in the document. Next to 0845 is 1046 the time the case was called again and the arrest was made. In the original video the defense attorney's even state that it was 0840 and they should wait 5 minutes to get the warrant. The times referenced in the document at the time stamps of when the prescribed events take place.",
"Alright, I’m not going to lie to you, I did A TON of searching for more info on this damned case, and there’s just so little substantial evidence here besides this video, his gofundme, a couple articles which are all copy and pasted, and the court decision from when he appealed and lost this case a year ago.\n\nI thought I had seen a longer, unedited version of this video, it does not exist to my knowledge. I was wrong about that. The only thing I can assume is that he FOIA requested this, chopped it up, removed the time stamp, and posted it to YouTube, so it’s unedited version does not exist anywhere online.\n\nSo really, it’s very notable he removed the time stamp, and it’s very suspicious removal considering the only thing we have to go on here is his word. \n\nThere is the possibility that this case actually started at 845, and this MAY be the case, because one of the only hard pieces of evidence I’ve seen shows the courtroom recording tape of his case starting at 845, but detractors would obviously say that just proves they called it early. There’s also the possibility that they were just preparing the warrant since it take a bit to draft up, and that they actually issued it at 9, but Sanchez left that part on the cutting room floor.\n\nI think the fact that he removed the time stamp is telling, and I think that his weird language in the editing of the video is very scammy. Also how he conducted himself over the last 7 years, over a dui case which is as open and shut as they come, and how he’s still trying to squirm out from it, even though his blood literally says he was driving drunk.\n\nHere’s a comment that outlines the argument against him pretty well, based on no further information, though: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/p1k507/defense_attorney_conspires_with_prosecutor/h8exa7u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3",
"Did you manage to find proof of his blood alcohol level? The comment you link is of a guy assuming he was supposed to be there at 0845. The follow up video which includes time stamps of events shows the pretrial was supposed to start 0900. Also where is your proof that there was ever a time stamp?",
"It does not say that though. There is no time stamp on the warrant issue, it only informs that a warrant was issued. The only time 845 is even mentioned is when the tape started, whatever that even means",
"I mean it sounds like you barely read his comment if you think it just says he was supposed to show up at 845, or you’re just picking what you think is his weakest argument, whatever, that’s not even close to the full comment. Def ignore the “follow up video” though, it’s just a guy looking at the video and making a 60 minute argument with less info then we have here\n\nI mean it’s safe to assume there was a time stamp, court documents need time stamps, and how else would the editor of the video have such exact timings? You can also see that it’s really shittily cropped, they couldn’t figure out how to resize it so they just but a black border around the outside, you know, exactly where the time stamp would be. What other explanation would there be for the black border?\n\nBut dammit dude, did you do any research into this case? There’s only like 6 results - I’ll link the court doc that shows his blood alcohol percentage taken directly from his blood, gimme a sec...",
"0845 /1046 is when the events described in the document take place. His lawyers in the original video are heard saying it was 0840 when they discussed getting a warrant.",
"Here’s the court decision - it details the arrest and all the evidence against him, as well as his bogus defenses and why they’re bogus \n\nhttps://casetext.com/case/state-v-sanchez-1242072",
"The argument that he was supposed to be there at 0845 was literally his first talking point. I think we're talking about the wrong follow up video. I'm talking about the short QA Mr Sanchez made. Which one are you talking about? \n\nThe editor of the video goes by the time his defense attorney states and by the time stamp on the document that states the events and the time the events take place. It put them at 0845 which is the time his defense attorney is caught saying he'll push for the warrant and 1046 which is the time the judge is heard saying when she's calling the case. Why would you assume there was a time stamp. Have you seen a video from the same court room with a time stamp? Don't you think that would be relatively easy to prove ? I'll like to read the blood alcohol report but regardless of if he's guilty of the DUI does it dispute justify what happened in the video?",
"Yea I get that the lawyers are talking about it at 845, and I have some skepticism about that because it could just be them preparing for 9 (because surprise, they predicted he was going to be late) but I’m not convinced the doc says that. Like based on that info in the doc why couldn’t we also assume that the warrant was issued at 9? I think the only safe thing we can assume based on the info there was that it was issued sometime between the time period of the tape",
"Ah yep different video. Some dude made a garbage commentary video, I think it was in the comment I linked above somewhere\n\nBut yea time stamps - he references many non- 845 or 9 timestamps, 905, 907, 918, etc. he references 840 as (current time) where that’s not apparent by the info we have. These are all rather specific for not having a time stamp. And again the weird border\n\nBut yea, assuming my take on this, which would be that maybe they were preparing the warrant for 9, and this was deliberately cut to make a case out of nothing, then I see nothing wrong with this video other than some unprofessionalism. He was late, which he admits, and he got the punishment for lateness. And in court, there’s no difference between not showing up on time, and not showing up at all, they need to be treated the same way regardless if he was only 7 minutes late.\n\nAssuming your take, that they did push the trial up 15 minutes, yea that’s absolutely fucked, and I’d be outraged too. And even though, as another commenter put it, all the evidence we have points to that, there’s way too many red flags for me showing that there’s tons of missing information that show that is not the case. All we have to go on, in the end, is Luis Sanchez’s word, and I say that because he most likely was the one that requested and edited this video, linking* his gofundme in the description. \n\nThis guy seems like a liar and a scammer to me based on all the information I’ve read, and the fact that this video is posted every couple of months with no additional information given screams scam to me\n\nBut yea the casetext again:\n\nhttps://casetext.com/case/state-v-sanchez-1242072",
"So are you assuming that the Audio of his defense attorney stating the time is altered or that they're lying?",
"That’s more information than was easily available. Even if everything you stated is true, the actions in the video of the attorneys and judge are reprehensible. It appears that they were dishonest on the record, and as officers of the court, I don’t think their dishonesty on the record can be excused . The old saying that two wrongs don’t make aright comes to mind. \n But, I thank you for providing more context to the situation.",
"The 6th amendment guarantees that you have the right to assistance of council for your defense. This man's council conspired with the prosecution and judge to get him arrested. He is also being deprived of liberty without due process of law, which is a 5th amendment violation.",
"You bring up some good points. The time stamp not being visible is a pretty dumb oversight if the editor was honest. I've seen the justice system (in Utah specifically) roll over many people unfairly, so it's easy to believe there were shenanigans, but it's important to be objective. Thanks for providing a dissenting opinion against the rabid reddit hive mind.",
"depends,now this could be an offence that could get them disbarred he will have millions if he sues",
"That sucks dude, is there a way to get your name removed? I'd hate to have that show up when a potential employer googled my name.",
"RemindMe! 6 months",
"Jesus, Kevin."

"It's certainly not random, but it is predetermined to the two most likely answers. The word \"Sofia\" and its spelling draws immediately to Spanish and Portuguese, hence Norm's thoughts and the 50/50 preselection.",

"ya, they never claimed it was random. Every question always has at least 1 stupid answer if you know anything about the topic. 50/50 will never keep the stupid answer.",
"Right, I suppose that's true.\n\nLet's also imagine though that Norm knows it's A or B (which seems to be the case). In his mind then, it's gotta be 5 possibilities. The only one that could be excluded is C and D.",
"What I've noticed is when I used to watch this as a kid (and knew pretty much nothing) the two I thought would make it were generally different from the remaining 50/50. That pushes me to think as mentioned, it's just the two closest/most likely answers.\n\nI wonder if they follow the \"Public School Test Rules\", as I call them. Basically, it's a set of rules that almost *all* tests followed (back when I was in school, at least, not sure about now), even the SAT's. This is *only* for multiple choice ones, and as I said, this is most not all, so there's plenty of tests out there that might not follow these rules, or things have changed since I've been in school as well.\n\nBasically, you have four possible answers to a question. They follow these specific rules/attritubes.\n\nA. The correct answer\n\nB. Incorrect answer, but *very* close to A, the correct answer\n\nC. Incorrect answer that's in the same ballpark, but not really close to either A or B.\n\nD. This is a throwaway answer, should be obvious it's wrong immediately if you're actually familiar with the material.\n\n\nSo basically, there's two answers (one of which is the correct one) that are *super* close to each other in relation. There's an answer that's got the right idea, but not close to the actual answer at all. Then there's a completely wrong answer that should be crazy obvious as soon as you look at it.\n\nHow does this help? Well, it makes every question a 50/50. How? You know that two of the answers will be *very* similar, one of which is the correct one, So, just look for the two answers out of four that are the most closely related or similar, you know one is the correct one so now you just knocked the question down to a 50/50 instead of a one out of four chance (assuming you're just picking a random one).\n\nThis worked pretty much throughout the entirety of my public schooling. Of course there were tests that didn't follow this style/standard, but a LOT of them did, some of them being incredibly important tests. For whatever reason, I did really well on tests anyway, but it was extremely helpful if I didn't study enough or got confused and had to guess, as I said it takes a 1/4 to a 1/2, which is huge.",
"To both of them",

"This is a good time to plug [The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks ](https://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Life-Henrietta-Lacks/dp/1400052181)\n\nthe story of her life is tragic. Excellent book.",
"I've seen a few instances where they will say \"I think its A or B\" and then the 50/50 takes away *both* of those. It usually gets a laugh from the audience because now the contest is entirely lost.",

I still believe that libertarianism looks great on paper and that it would be the ideal philosophy for an ideal world.
