Hearted Youtube comments on Upper Echelon (@UpperEchelon) channel.

  1. A couple of years ago my wife walked into a doorframe and gave herself a black eye and a mild concussion. I got her in the car and took her straight to the ED to get treated. Once they saw her and me they immediately assumed I was a wife abuser just from the look of her. They wouldn't let me go in with her to triage, kept asking her if she was safe and how many times I hit her. They offered to have the police called and me taken away so she would be safe to tell her story and make a conviction. She kept telling them they were jumping to the wrong conclusions and they finally relented and let her and me into the ward. Yet throughout her 2 hour stay they had a security guard tail me, constantly asked her if she was safe every time I walked away from the bed and forbid me from being alone in the ward with her. It was one of the most humiliating and insulting things I've ever had happen to me. To this day every single time I take her into the hospital she gets asked if she is ok and If I am abusing her when they think I'm not in earshot. I even have had a nurse I know look at her medical records and it states victim of spouse abuse. I have never abused my wife, but yet they jumped straight to that conclusion because of movements like this and my name is forever tarnished. I cannot go into a hospital with her without being discriminated against.

  2. Every generation, ideas that we overlook and take for granted have to be dragged out into the light of day and made to stand and deliver. The idea of "innocent until PROVEN guilty" just had its day in court, and won. Rumor and gossip CANNOT be allowed to stand as the arbiter of guilt in our society.

  8. Me and some fellow 90s early internet alumni have had very real mourning periods for the time in internet history when you could fire up a search engine and go LOOKING for stuff. And find things that interested you. Weird niche communities and elaborate fansites and curated fiction collections... and then 5-6 companies bought up everything, and now it's a glorified phone book that plugs in to a series of propaganda networks. Thanks Zuckerberg.

  9. "Could you please give us a list of your questions that you want to ask so we may be able to better our communication" is buisness code for "tell us what youre gonna ask so we can make pre fabricated lies that will be hard to see through"

  10. Mr. Upper Echelon, would you cover about Facebook pirating 80TB of books while Aaron Swartz got 35 years of prison over pirating 60GB of JSTOR? Especially since Aaron Swartz is the classmate of Sam Altman.

  12. I’ve seen interactions that really seemed like bots talking to other bots Edit: I also find it ironic that there are comments literally seconds after you upload a video, saying that the things in the video are fantastic….so bots?

  16. What's incredible about PIE is that the "% space saved" shows that it doesn't work as an ad blocker. How does it know the memory saved? Because it let the ad load before removing it. That's not how an ad blocker is supposed to work. It's supposed to catch the network request that would load the ad and cancel it.

  18. They targeted gamers. Gamers. We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did. We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second. Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded. Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights? These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

  28. The Mary Sue. Ok, so about 15 years(ish) ago, The Mary Sue was basically a blog site written primarily by its founder chick, forget her name. It was getting some word of mouth pushing against things like sexualization of female characters and pointing out things like Wonder Woman's early rope bondage scenes, things like that (which I find to just make comics more interesting and free, honestly, part of the mystique in our pop culture, the fabric of our national psyche). But somebody recommended it in a message board discussion I was having, so I decided to pop over and give it a look. I read every blog post still scrolling on the front page, and it was interesting, but also troublingly vindictive against white males and espoused a brand of feminism I'd never seen, one that was almost puritanical, aggressively anti-sexual, and basically took a repulsive, paranoid view of innocuous things like the way men took notice of her (without really saying or doing anything) while she rode an elevator wearing cosplay and how she felt during the experience, for instance. So I wrote her a letter asking her to reconsider things from an individual perspective. I told her about my personal experience growing up and the kinds of unconscious discrimination I experienced moving around to all these small towns growing up regarding my native features with white skin. I'm 3/16 native, so 18.75%, the rest a mix of English, Irish, Welsh, German, French, etc., and I look a lot like my half mohawk ancestor in the Trail of Tears, but also a lot like my Welsh grandfather involved in the War of The Roses. People that attacked me would often say I "look like a girl" even though I'm a big dude and fully masculine, would talk about my posture or the way I walked, etc. I talked about group dynamics, natural prejudice in homogeneous areas, and sociodynamics related to things like my dad being a minister and always being the new kid everywhere I went. I was attacked at least once a year, ostracized more than once, needled over my looks, my faith, my smarts, followed home with weapons as a teen and had to fight with more than one attacker at a time more than once. The police got involved with that last one, and they even accused me of racism to deflect blame, because hey, white skin. I finished up going to private and then home school. I was tough, but I had to fight physically, get around the system, overcome depression, and generally win my own personal war for survival before I ever even got to college. But her ideology didn't account for any of that. According to her, the patriarchy was oppressing everyone but white males, and anything we suffered was all on our own worthlessness, because everything was wired to give us every advantage. White privilege is a myth, things are a lot more complicated than that, and I made that rational argument to her while asking her to look at people and their situations from an individual and nuanced point of view, with my experience as an example. Her response? She wrote her next blog about how a white man had asked her to consider his point of view, and about how she wouldn't, because no, he had every advantage. It was him (me) that was oppressing her (along with other ethnic minorities, she being a white lady), about how it was presumptuous and smacked of privilege to ask her to consider his story and his obstacles, or anything else he thought, and how he was solely responsible for everything that didn't go just right for him, because he was the advantaged one. She answered my honest outreach with racism, sexism, degradation, and vitriol. So screw The Mary Sue. How the hell do these people get to tell anybody anything about what's right and fair and considerate to anyone? How the hell do they get to ruin our culture? No. Edit: Anyway, I need to forgive her. But don't listen to 'em unless they repent of that ideology. God bless.

  29. Hey I'm the former employee, I've been loving your coverage of all this. The raccoon wasn't even paid, it was a domestic raccoon that they treated like a prop. In one scene there's someone behind the camera who actually threw the raccoon into the room with everyone, while they screamed at it, then a voice line got added in post saying "the raccoon just ran in here" when it was clearly thrown against its will then screamed at, scaring it, poor raccoon. Also I have the facebook stream downloaded, very telling that they took it down.

  30. I am a preschool teacher- you wouldn't believe how much children have changed during the last few years. If something isn't happening constantly they are Immediately bored, they don't want to learn new things because learning is boring, they don't want to hear us reading older books because there are boring parts in them (sic!) and noone gets hurt. The situation is so severe that when we get new kids we leave them for 5 minutes to do something with all the toys we have and we immediately will know if the children are addicted to youtube videos, because they are unable to play or even discover how to operate new toys. One kid didn't eat anything for days, but when I realised that he looks at me every time I used my phone I tried to show him video when he was eating. He would eat EVERYTHING we would put in his mouth when youtube was on. I seriously started hating my job thanks to parents giving their kids mobile phones

  31. relevant quote: “A man will contend for a false faith stronger than he will a true one,” he observes. “The truth defends itself, but a falsehood must be defended by its adherents: first to prove it to themselves and secondly, that they may appear right in the estimation of their friends.” source......long long time ago.... A letter headed “Herod Antipater's Defense to the Roman Senate” The letter is one of many documents discovered in the Vatican Library by W. D. Mahan, 1887, he published his discoveries in a slender book called The Archko Volume. Today, these documents are known as The Acts of Pilate.

  35. Hey man, hope you understand none of my CDPR contacts necessarily disputed your report on Quantic Labs. Hope that's clear. They only said that Quantic's role was indeed minimal, especially in terms of what went wrong with the game. It's just various outlets turned your report into "this external company is why Cyberpunk was buggy" which is not accurate. As I was told, CDPR did extensive internal testing. Complex bugs & important/technical aspects were handled internally. Those tests showed almost all of the bugs experienced day one. Devs warned management throughout the games development. Those concerns were ignored. Devs knew the bugs & what caused them. Management was also well aware as they would playtest daily. They just couldn't fix them in time due to "insane deadlines" set by management.

  38. LOOK! The gambling analogy couldn't be more accurate. I had to find out where the money was going and what I learned was that Plarium, the company behind RAID, was bought less than a year prior to its release for 500 million by Aristocrat Leisure... a gambling company. The CEO of which happens to be none other than the head of the American Gaming Association, Trevor Croker. Every penny that goes into this shitty game is literally supporting the gambling industry.

  42. Just a small piece of criticism for you, UEG: the intro is really cool, but having a 1-minute intro for a 10-minutes video doesn't work too well, especially since you have the sponsor section as well. It feels a bit like it's wasting viewer's time on purpose. If you want to make the video longer to hit the 10 minutes mark, I think some unscripted thoughts and opinions (not even on the topic) at the end of the video would be more appreciated.
