  1. Intersex - 1.7% Red-haired people - 2-6% Not quite the same.

  2. Couldn't happen to a more deserving organization.

  3.  @JohnnyHobbs-of3ly  It may considerably lower than 1.7% actually, as that estimate "includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%" (Sax 2002). In any case, equating the intersex population with the number of people with red hair is a fallacy. It's a misrepresentation for the sake of a certain narrative.

  11.  @alphamail8974  So... 1.7 (not really) vs as high as 6. In a context of 8.1 billion population that's a delta of more than 300 million. Not a trivial number. Ignoring the facts as usual.

  12. Hi, sweatshop laborer here. I'll say that this post is basically on the money. Minor quibble with the shortcuts though. It's true that some workers do let things go by clicking carelessly. The check there (with varying efficacy) is that mixed in with the content to be moderated are unidentified tests for the worker doing the moderation. Misidentifying the content too many times gets you dropped because even for the most carelessly outsourced jobs, the contract owner wants that contract to renew. As such, quality issues like false positives/negatives and careless rating are one of the metrics by which workers are judged. The availability of such jobs varies by market. That being said, unrealistic SLAs are absolutely true. Your content is getting skimmed at best, by people with guidelines that are vague, byzantine, or both. The same people moderating your content are also training the AI to moderate your content, with the same hit and miss quality. The answer to this (apart from actual moderation on a platform, heaven forbid) is basically to give a damn if you have third-party moderation. Yes, you can get it done for pennies in a nondescript international backwater. Or you can pay a bit more and aim for higher quality metrics, tools that aren't like a dull knife, and more reasonable SLAs. You get what you pay for.

  16.  @edenschannel101  Correct, it may be much lower as previously explained. In any case, it's not on par with the number of red haired people.

  17. Why is it something created to oppress? Without politicization, race is simply a means of describing groups of people based on color/ethnicity. That's not oppressive. Odd that race isn't a problem as long as there's a race-based group to blame. Otherwise race is one of the hallmarks of diversity and something that we have to actively work towards including and must celebrate at every possible turn. Unless it's that one race, y'know. They're all mean and evil and oppressive. You can't have it both ways. It can't be an artificial social construct that we must ignore or dismantle and at the same time be something we must celebrate and take into account at every turn in every metric. At what point do we stop doing the shell game of hating one group because it supposedly uplifts another?

  21.  @notorioustori  Not sure why your nagging was necessary as well, but let's explore. As stated in a previous comment the delta in question, in a world population of 8.1 billion, equates to approximately 300,000,000. That is a non-trivial population. Nothing like some spurious claims to bolster your argument as well, so let's examine those. "1% to 6% with a (-/+) deviation especially with higher numbers - because if the number could be lower, than logically it can be higher." So because it can be lower, it can be higher. That's what you stated. So why stop at 6%? Maybe the number is 10%? Maybe 50% of the world is so-called intersex. Maybe you're actually intersex and don't know it! No, the number must be based on something, sorry. We don't get to inflate the numbers for the sake of narrative, and that's what's being done here. "considering there are highly religious clans, tribes, and nations that don't consider intersexed as "natural"" Where and what are these groups apart from your own imagination? Your justification is based on a fantasy. "sounds pretty close to "around the same"" An estimate/approximation of an estimate/approximation. Back to the idea that the number can be whatever we want it to be, right? No. The OP is playing fast and loose with the numbers for the sake of presenting something as common that isn't common. It's embracing a social narrative despite what actual numbers are saying. We don't get to inflate numbers for the sake of our social narrative. No, intersex conditions are not as common as red haired people and depending on definition, are actually a couple orders of magnitude less. That is non-trivial. That is why my comment was necessary, for your information. Fuzzy, imprecise numbers may make you feel like a social justice hero "punching up" but in a clinical, scientific discussion, they have no place.

  35.  @mashtonish  No, it's because identity-based quotas and coded language such as equity over equality, representation, POC, ADOS, and diversity defined as anything comprised of members of anybody but {one group} come from the left. Also yes, if one's skin color serves as a strike against them, while being a major plus for another person not of that skin color, that actually does mean that it takes away from one person's likelihood to get hired somewhere. There are hiring practices that prioritize members of certain categories to the detriment of other categories. It's not acceptable, and is racism plainly. It's still a bad thing if it's aimed at the group that is socially acceptable to hate.

  42.  @DoctorBiobrain  She brought up gender. It was part of her crying wolf when she got caught. No, recognizing when someone's trying every tactic to avoid responsibility isn't unconscious bias, it's called having integrity. Also, assuming unconscious bias at the mention of identity labels is lame. Major projection.
    5
  43.  @DoctorBiobrain  What would you do if there were no one to accuse of things based on your own bias and your own assumption? My, things might be a bit clearer for you then. How weird that for people who only have the limited toolset of a single hammer, everything is a nail. Your trope of "unconscious bias" which you like to use to discredit anyone disagreeing with you assumes several things, none of which you can substantiate. It assumes bias as the default, for people who have literally grown up in a female-empowered context. It assumes that until you've descended from the heavens to scold the poor and unwitting about their own consciousness, no one has dared plumb the depths of their motivations and place in society. In a contemporary social setting where currency is comprised of social labels, the intersections of such, and how they can be used to advance while silencing others. Not only was girlboss an identity (and still is), it's an ongoing source of pride and empowerment. Trying to cast it as a slur is really only because it exposes too much of the genuine dynamics at work for the subject. No, it's not an insult because it upsets you. That's not how that works. Perhaps you should examine your own unconscious bias about why you jump on that term but have no qualms about other gendered terms that are objectively detracting, such as toxic masculinity and mansplaining. Basically, find some integrity and stop trying to be a girlboss.

  45. Move in and patronize: "You're gentrifying us!" Divest and isolate: "You're erasing us!" Appreciate and consume: "You're fetishizing and appropriating us!" Tour and engage: "You're treating us like your playground!" Your contributions add diversity and a wider cultural experience, mine somehow invalidate and oppress you. You seeking better economic conditions is humanitarian and noble, me doing the same is an invasion. Graffiti denouncing me with slurs based on my ethnicity is seen as a sign of the times, but the same denouncing you is seen as a terrible social ill that we must address. Until the blatant double standard is acknowledged, don't expect this to be taken seriously.

  46.  @Thanatos2996  If you think all of the "bad guys" are on one side, you're beyond reasoning. If you can look at what the modern right supports and tell me that there's no contradiction and zero hypocrisy, you're not worth the effort to explain it.
    5
  47.  @Thanatos2996  No, the comment I was responding to was a generalization of the left, not a specific instance. Read it again. "The all inclusive left." You felt the need to stick up for the oh so put upon right-wing when I dared question their feigned principled posture, but generalizing is cool when it's for all those "left" people. Nice sliding scale you have there. Further, using your own logic, the left is a broad term that encompasses groups with different and in many cases mutually exclusive beliefs. So using the librewolf devs as some sort of representation of the left is dishonest. But it's convenient when you want to believe it. See how that works? Don't be at a loss, just look in the mirror. What you said made no sense. It's not hard to understand, and quite sensible to those who aren't willfully blind. If generalizations work for one side, they'll work for the other. Sensible. The paragons of morality, law and order, and authority that the right likes to pretend they are, are quite hypocritical in nearly every aspect of what they say versus what they do.

  48.  @prafrentebrasil3299  Yet there is always money for politicians to get rich. Funny how that works. Maybe directing your anger at people who are actually doing wrong things would be more productive than being angry at people who want to do correct things that benefit the whole population.

  49.  @amorphousblob2721  When it comes to program code, it should definitely have a leash. That's what makes stable code. We don't need code that one day decides it needs to pursue "muh freedoms" and crash the program or worse, create an exploitable vulnerability. If Rust prevents problems while being safe and effective for what it needs to do (aka quality) that should end the discussion. All the social demagoguery is so silly when we're talking about programming. Code doesn't care about your feelings, even if they wear a red hat.

  56. 00:21 This is so exhausting. If I'm giving you hours and hours of my life to make someone else wealthy, what does it really matter what I'm doing in my free time? Maybe I garden or write haikus. Maybe I'm working on a sophisticated blockchain analysis algorithm. Maybe I engage in self-hypnosis and stare at the wall for hours and drool. So? Why is it your business? Only in IT do you have these ridiculous gatekeepers. Before anyone says it, no, it doesn't matter for the "business relationship" or anything like that. I'm doing whatever the thing is for the business. Not marrying you. Not courting you. "Passion" This is another IT hiring buzzword that means anything and nothing at all. The fact that you spun up a remote Arch machine to deploy Kubernetes to host a Docker container that remotely triggers your custom-scripted Pi to turn on your IoT wax warmer means nothing, other than you seem to have a lot of time and resources to spend on nothing productive. People aren't going to subject themselves to years of expensive education and certifications, while doing five rounds of interviews for a support desk position they they're probably being lowballed on if they're not passionate. That whole not being homeless thing is a hell of a motivator, don't worry about my "passion." "Telling your story" This is not an autobiography. You don't actually want to know so much about me. You want to know if my skills match the thing you're hiring for. That should answer the question. 21:33 "Effort and charisma" Actually affirming that it's a dog and pony show/swimsuit competition. Ffs this is a job interview, not RuPaul's Drag Race. 26:00 "Obsessed Cloud Enthusiast" "Plagued with the overwhelming urge to tinker" eye roll Lapdog wasn't part of the job description, though perhaps it's implied, along with assumed knowledge of literally any tool you could possibly touch. There's always going to be another hurdle, another reason why you're not the best fit for the job. You can do each and every step in this video, and someone who will do the job for half your rate will get it. That, or they'll just offshore it entirely.

  61. Signs definitely point to him hating everything FSF and everything having to do with it, primarily RMS. A brief search turned up an interesting post from Roy Schestowitz archived at Techrights: Drew DeVault Has Lost The Plot - "My personal interpretation of this (since June when he tried to "reform" the message) is that he's just jealous and frustrated that his anti-FSF thing did not take off. Trying to 'pull an OSI' 25 years later (after failing to be elected at the OSI) was a losing proposition." I don't have a major stake in this and have only heard of DDV today, but him being performatively crusader-y and social warriorish tells me all I need to know. I should be hearing about him because of how great Hare supposedly is, not because he has hatewood for RMS and indeed, anyone not conforming to DDV.

  66. If an IT job requires a degree (and most do), certs don't means a thing if there's no degree. This is highly dependent on your job market also. The issue really isn't certs versus degrees, it's unrealistic job requirements (and the loss of anything "entry level") versus reality. Also, if an employer wants a degree in a given area (say networking or IT security) you can't cert and home lab your way through it.

  68. The shaved heads and gis discussion becomes a little pollyanna. Joe's take of "it gives the kids something to work for while the others learn to appreciate" is probably the most unrealistic take possible. In short, the kids who have, flex on those who don't. That's the dynamic. There's no aspiration of the poor kid to work harder to look like the rich kid, because the rich kid didn't work for it. The premise is literally that their parents give it to them. Yeah he mentions compassion, but when did great disparity ever engender compassion? It's a ridiculous notion and represents, in a very small way, the reason why we have the problems that we do. When it comes to the have nots, they should just work harder and be thankful for whatever meager existence they can eke out, while looking up to the haves who didn't work for what they have. Society is a schoolyard writ large. How profound. 🙄

  80. Luck is the intersection of opportunity and preparedness. All the preparedness in the world won't give you an opportunity. (And no, you don't "make" your own opportunities.) Access to resources is a huge part of the equation. All the positive thinking and achievement porn in the world won't supply for the lack of opportunity or resources. You should certainly work on what you can and prepare as you're able. But there's significantly more to lack of success than saying someone isn't trying hard enough.

You've also never, not once, been denigrated for attractions that you never consciously chose. Once you've been soundly condemned by one or several institutions for something as integral as who you're attracted to, tell me how that goes. In that context, the idea of countering negative connotations with positive ones might begin to make a little sense, if you're a analytical, considerate person. Or, just keep going with default thinking for a default identity and tell yourself you're awesome for doing so.

  85.  @ich6885  I'm glad you're showing what a false correlation is by your premise, it makes discussing it easier. But that's the thing, you're not asking questions. You've already decided that it is due to bias and it needs to be corrected by racist hiring policy. No, introducing a quota doesn't make sense. If hiring by skin color is wrong for one group, then it's also wrong when it applies to another group because it's the same racist criteria, only for a group you want to root for. Can't cure (assumed) racism with racism. Doesn't work that way. Then, who's the arbiter of how a racial quota should look? When should the racial prioritization stop? A decade? Four? 400 years if we're being really petty? No. Chances aren't equal. For anyone. When skill is (or should be) the determining factor, not everyone will have or even want to have the same skill in a given position. That's not some sort of unconscious bias nonsense, that's simply fact. But the solution to that isn't to make chances even less equal based on skin tone. You seem to be both for and against racism depending on who it's aimed at. Which is pretty typical in this line of thinking tbh. Let's also ask why the NBA doesn't reflect the racial distribution in the country as well. After the brick layers and sanitation workers, that is. Does it keep you up at night as much? Are you so deeply concerned there?

  86.  @Waitwhat469  Historically, literally every group of people has viewed people differing from themselves as a different so-called race. It's not a post rationalization of trying to understand material differences nor did its existence have a thing to do with justifying chattel slavery. It predates it actually, so the presentism take is invalid on that. Race, meaning categorization of people according to common physical characteristics, is not oppressive. That shouldn't be a controversial statement. But again, race is absolutely wonderful when it's part of diversity, right? You're a self-identified woke person so you certainly know that social doctrine. Let's not pretend. Only when people notice that race is playing a role in the so-called oppressed becoming the oppressor, does race suddenly become a bad thing that is an artificial construct and we need to reexamine it and here's all the reasons it's bad. It's very convenient, and intellectually dishonest. The idea that people from disparate physical locations who have distinct physical features from other people from other physical locations is described as racial differences is simply an acknowledgement of those facts. The metric of value of groups based on race is a different discussion to what race actually means. Entirely separate, not an integral part contrary to your definition. The problem isn't acknowledging race or recognizing it as a valid concept, it's the ingroup thinking present in every group that says "mine is better than yours." That's true with race, gender, and every other category in the competition to prove the most oppression. That's the change we need.

  87.  @Waitwhat469  "Race is not synonymous with all differentiators between groups." I specifically mentioned physical differences later in further defining that dynamic. Not misrepresenting what I said would save much unneeded verbosity attempting to undermine a point I didn't make. No one thinks race is synonymous with all differentiators between groups and it's rather absurd that you've attempted to wokesplain it. Race is one of the things comprising identity in contemporary cultural discussion. Describing it as useless is counterfactual. There are policies and even laws formed around it. Entire groups define themselves by it. You're attempting to portray it either as this cobbled together, inconsistent thing or this fumbling attempt at grasping phenotypical and microevolutionary differences that is somehow irrelevant to how people define themselves. Back to the intellectual dishonesty. You're trying to abstract something that matters to identity in order to devalue it. It's not reality. It's also not acceptable to excuse with empathy, those who would see race as a badge of pride for themselves and as a mark of shame for others. Or, to put it simply, racism. No, it's not acceptable for perceived wrongs. No, it's not acceptable in the context of actual, demonstrable wrongs. This is morally and intellectually inconsistent. Stop giving bad behavior a pass, either individually or as a group.

  91. ​ @DoctorBiobrain  No, you referenced yourself in the context of girlboss twice, so there's your trope of unconscious bias defeated. Also I didn't say that you were a girl nor a boss. You can have a girlboss mentality, which you're clearly exhibiting, without having the requisite chromosomes or parts. That's identity, right? It's all a spectrum and whatever we want it to be! I know what you've shown me and commented. Your go to is "unconscious bias" because it's yet another term that means whatever one wants it to mean in the moment, and is an excuse to invalidate and dismiss while pushing a narrative of someone else's life. Like you've tried over and over in this discussion. You've projected it in every comment under this video. I don't particularly care about your dreams, but I can quite clearly see your biases. You don't get to define the discussion, and what you want the discussion to be isn't particularly important. A woman was caught being dishonest, she tried to claim sex-based victimhood to avoid responsibility, and was criticized for doing so. The rest of your narrative isn't particularly relevant. We're talking about it because she made her sex an issue with false accusations. Otherwise known as a pink pass. That's why it's an issue, and your whiteknighting is getting in the way of you understanding that. Despite you reaching for offense on behalf of others, and your limited perception of the term, girlboss is not an insult, not a slur, and not a detraction. But it's amazing that you're hinging your entire argument on that because if you can cast it as an inequality or identity-based offense, you can share in the social currency of offense and victimhood. Even more amazing is that you're totally blind to it, and see yourself as punching up and fighting against the big bad evil of sexism. There's some real unconscious bias for you. But yeah, you won't be examining that while accusing others of it.

  126.  @jen7662  No, actually it's not sexist. Tell me how, in a societal setting where heterosexuality is the default and the most widespread, is a heterosexual male going to encounter any form of trauma specifically linked to to his sexual orientation from any institution? How about from the vast majority of peers, who are of the same orientation? Once again, you prove my point. In affirming the idea that identity and labels are futile, you make sure to list yours to lend some sort of imagined credibility, because your point cannot stand on its own without such.
    2
  127.  @Marinus_Calamari  I'd have to agree. Then they break their arm patting themselves on the back for "not announcing" their sexual preferences or not having to declare what is essentially a social default. When a person can go out in public and not see public displays of affection or hand holding among any couples, then the argument may hold some water. Until then, it's foolish. For the most part, those who have never been socially castigated or outcast for their attractions have no conception of what it's like to have to monitor every expression, nuance and behavior. Then they make up unrealistic contexts for strawman arguments. It's essentially the pigeon on a chess board meme.
    2
  128.  @Marinus_Calamari  Exactly this, yes. The "don't shove your sexuality in my face" types are totally oblivious to the fact that their sexuality permeates nearly every aspect of social interaction. It's just typical behavior to them. When encountering social expression of sexuality that doesn't match their own, suddenly it's an issue. While I think it's true that identity is arbitrary and doesn't entirely define you as a person, to pretend that such things don't matter, or to be hostile to someone for defining themselves when your own identity is the default and socially approved is rather tone deaf and hypocritical. Also, the irony of multiple people in this thread including their identity markers as proof that identity markers don't matter is simply incredible.

It was cool when the guy with the bad orange makeup was tanking the economy though. Remember when blaming Biden personally for gas prices was the thing to do?

  136. Something to magnify is that proper security protocols are actually what saved the channel from being totally irretrievable. The concept of least privilege is so important whether we're talking about a typical home user or a CEO. Using limited accounts based on role decreases the vulnerability/attack surface significantly. There's no reason an editor should be able to obliterate a YouTube channel. I think you handled it in the best possible way, informing viewers of what happened, working through various stages of containment and reporting. Only further investigation will allow you to determine what exactly happened, but this seems like a textbook example of spear phishing. The fact that other prominent YouTube creators are being targeted in the same way underscores this. I think not being reactionary and firing someone based on a phishing email is the right thing to do. Yes, breaches are bad, but as leaks in every possible institution have taught us, it's not a matter of if we'll be breached, only a matter of when. Therein lies the value of good security practice such as least privilege and compartmentalization. If it was a well-formed phish (and it sounds like it was, relatively), a little understanding and compassion is well-placed. We're dealing with humans here, not ACLs.

  161.  @retrocomputing  I think there are ways to discuss even sensitive things. Moderator opinion is always subjective though. Even considering the aforementioned concept as the standard would be subjective as words don't have definitions like in former times. They're pretty much whatever the zeitgeist and online culture says they are. The problem of the referenced standard or even that of legality is that laws aren't universal, are debatable, and selectively applied. I mentioned flat earth due to the fervor with which some people discuss these issues, their refusal to consider dispassionately, and their irrelevance to people at large. At some point it's just dogma for a sociopolitical profile. The ability to say words and have an opinion doesn't prove the validity of that opinion.

  168. "Whereas the previous generation, I think they viewed the Internet and the promises of technology in the last few decades as some sort of utopia pinnacle goal that we all have to strive towards." Hot take but no. Technology has always been tools. It's funny that you're projecting this mentality onto previous generations who, y'know, invented the thing you're theorizing about. If technology and the internet are just tools and the zoomers know this and are able to place it in proper context with their young, enlightened selves, why is it that isolation facilitated by technology is a common complaint in that population? Go to any place there are groups of young people and you'll see them sitting together, looking at their phones. Anything that happens in IRL must have a phone present to record it or there's no value, right? That social media validation is needed after all. "Previous generations" make an easy target when we want to make ourselves look very informed and contemporary in comparison. But when really examined, the charge falls apart. You're discovering now what previous generations already knew even as they allowed themselves to dream about the potential of technology. Basically that nothing will take the place of the social component of real life. For the silly critique of "previous generations," parasocial relationships are the milieu of zoomers and alphas. Yes, in a hipster town like Austin as well.

In describing the need to get away from social media and focus on something else, he's engaging in putting one's house in order which is the idea behind the making the bed thing. This same sentiment would be expressed elsewhere as self-care. In the context of the original comment, this is control. If medication stops being therapeutic and becomes dangerous, detoxing oneself is controlling it. If social media makes you irritable or you get caught up in trolling, getting away from it is a conscious choice for personal order or health. Where is the fault? Where are these things not good ideas?

This is independently verifiable fact, but when you say it to one of the fanbase, you get told it's a mainstream media conspiracy or lie because the president is the bestest ever in the history of the country or the world. It's beyond absurd. A Oct. 27, 2020 Washington Post article by David A. Fahrenthold states that his companies have billed the government at that time more than two million dollars. That number has probably increased by a factor of at least 10. The General Accounting Office suggests that each golf trip of his first term cost the taxpayer about 3 million each. He literally charges the taxpayer for use of his own properties. It's a glaring conflict of interest that, if the president had a D after his name, would be screamed about.

  186. New School Facts: Babies cannot be born with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. They can be born Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Not the same thing. Also, there was no AIDS epidemic in the 1970s. There were also no home health aides at the time. They were called visiting nurses. If a foster parent were neglecting the health of HIV+ children, they'd be up on charges. What did we learn? You're a bot or just plain BSing. In either case, take your fake news elsewhere.

While you're correcting my spelling of the little island, the word is prominent . You know that, yes? Nota bene, protesting lady. It may come as a shock to you regarding Turkish universities in CYPRUS as well as prominent universities in the US and UK, that cheating not only happens, but sometimes isn't caught. Not a surprise. But no university, be it in CYPRUS, the US, the UK, Russia, Iran, or even India allows academic dishonesty. So asking me if it's acceptable is a false premise and an absurd one. It's not controversial to correct a mistaken notion that one's little island university is somehow the only one to enforce academic integrity. However, if you don't want controversy, have a little honor and don't attempt sly insults, particularly ones based in nationalism.

The matter of being paid 100% of your salary is between the employer and employee. The employee's federal payment, or lack thereof, is no business of the employer's. As such, reducing wages or salary would be theft.

  207.  @johndank2209  What are you talking about? I didn't say "knowledge" I said degree. Yes, employers want them. Certs won't substitute for what an employer wants. Remember that for the most part, potential employers are not looking for reasons to hire you or work with you. They're looking for reasons to knock you out of the running. Not having the requirements of the job listing (like a degree if specified) makes dropping you an easy decision.

  209. ​ @johndank2209  Which brings us back to the original point. If an employer wants a degree, certs, knowledge, or a home lab won't take the place of that degree. We've just gone in a circle. Faking a degree or certs really shouldn't be part of this discussion.

  210. @Max შემიწყალე So they put it in the job requirements for S and Gs, right? I work in reality, where job requirements and applications are a real thing that people have to contend with. Do you really think employers just hire people who are "good with computers" and have no credentials?

  211. @Max შემიწყალე Cope. And "homelab" more lol. A cert is passing a test. A degree is a commitment of time and effort to learn a subject deeply.

In my job market, degrees are required. Once again, cope. To be worth your salt in IT, you need more than a boot camp and a cram session. Be upset about it.

  213. @Max შემიწყალე You're hilarious, riding this so hard for a comment I made about my job market lol. But do keep talking. A degree in IT is far from useless. It teaches things you cannot and will not learn on a certification test. You're really showing your ignorance by saying that a degree is only high level things. This illustrates that the people who need them the most, clearly don't have one. Degrees teach everything from foundational, low-level knowledge to high-level concepts. If you don't believe that, I have no desire to prove it you. Keep believing that a cert and a handshake is all that's needed. You haven't disproven a thing I've said, only offered angry opinion based on nothing more than your own bias. Meanwhile, in real job markets, degrees are required. Be mad about it.

Beato's perspective is more than you could gain if you booked 20 bands a week in your "hip city" (lol) for the rest of your life. Imagine judging such a wide view from such a tiny niche. He was speaking generally about the value of music and its contemporary commodification and disposability. The things you're mistaking for styles are copies of copies of copies.
    1
  221.  @ithemba  Word salad. No single opinion is the end all be all of views. That's not the contention here. Literally any city is a place where people wanna book gigs and play. Questionable criteria for "hip." The socioeconomic justification is silly. You basically just wanted to crap on someone with more knowledge and experience in the industry because you think he's old and disconnected while you see yourself as young, "hip," and having your finger on the pulse of the industry because you work at a little European club. You can open a garage and a band will come play it. That wasn't the point of the video referenced. He was reacting to a discussion of the most popular music on the British charts by discussing that same trend on US charts, analyzing composition of the artists there. That's a very different thing to bands playing a gig for a door split or what have you. Hardly an "old man yelling at clouds" video. So to precisely my point: working at a little club in Europe that books bands gives you no expertise to speak on trends at the top of the industry from your little niche. Your three weekly shows in your "hip city" are cute, but irrelevant.
    1
  222.  @ithemba  LOL little European club guy I don't have to find videos of guys talking about live music venues. I worked around a small club in my own "hip city" for several years (bookings nightly btw) so maybe a comfort zone of YouTube talking heads is where you get your information, but not me. I'd suggest you get over yourself and recognize when you're over your head in a given category, which you are when comparing your little experience to Rick's. Also, apparingly is not a word but nice try at a closing insult.

    1
  226.  @winstonsmith6618  You're certainly allowed to hold the opinion of your choosing. It's my opinion that due to it's presence in nature as well as scientific research on the subject, the chances of biological underpinnings for homosexuality are stronger than the choice or nurture position. Also that GSAs don't contribute to family breakdown any more than rock music or books with challenging ideas do. The idea of GSAs is support for those experiencing attractions different from the majority. Whether or not the T element of the community has co-opted them, I can't speak to. I have no issue with the historical basis of Pride or its present-day practice being taught in a social history course similar to other social rights movements.
    1
  227.  @winstonsmith6618  Following your line of reasoning, so would homosexuality itself. Yet it's not part of a grand conspiracy. It happens whether or not we socially approve of it, or even broach the subject with our families.

That is what's called a projection. The person said that there are "around" the same number of intersex people as red haired people. That is provably incorrect. If the facts anger you so, I really don't know what to tell you about that. The internetisms are a cute touch though 😎, trying to frame me as pedantic for pointing out something portrayed as true to be false. Maybe you want to call me an incel next, or misogynistic, or perhaps some other -ism? That's the next move of the ego fractured victim on the internet. The OP lied. I explained how and why. That.

It's not a reasonable inference that nearly half of the nation just makes bad diet choices or can't put the fork down.

Don't try the aloof, unbothered ploy because your motivations are very apparent. Every comment that brings up the genuine issues being discussed, namely those of the injustice of identity-based quotas here you come trying to distract and pretending it's about positive community. No, it's about the absolute tyranny of your worldview and how anyone who deviates from it is hateful and they need your version of so-called positivity. You're the reason that people cringe when anything remotely progressive is brought up. Because you're a fake person with this passive aggressive streak saying you love everyone, but if someone doesn't love exactly as you think they should or think or act according to your toxicity, you need to correct and educate them to your view. Have some integrity for once.

  253.  @LovePixels  You don't have the ability to be relevant to the issue at hand? So typical of fake, toxic positivity types who are all about the inclusion and so-called love but you'd better not disagree with any of their views. No because then you'll need to be corrected. Oh and the whole fake "bringing positivity and community" bs is pretty typical as well. A "community" must focus on, and take the shape of whatever your view is. This channel already has a community. That's another stark difference between real, organic community and your fake, toxic version. Yours is simply a diktat according to your own social values. Keep trolling fake man. All you're doing is showing everyone why they're correct in their disagreement with you.

  258.  @jamesnurtec2734  EDGYBOI! No, I don't need to consider maybes when his stated intent was to bring his version of positivity and distraction because people agreeing with the premise of the video were being so "hateful." You can read, right? Because this was his motivations stated under a different comment: " I feel like this place could desperately use some positivity (there’s a lot of anger/hate on here). Hence why I’m asking about people’s music and hobbies. I’m trying to bring people back down-to-earth, if you will — and getting people to remember that there’s more to life than getting angry about a company you don’t work for." Trying to make a friend? GTFOH So maybe before you tell me the trendy internet thing of touching grass (such a smart guy thinking in played out memes!) you should learn to think for yourself, evaluate a claim, and stop trying to reward disruptive behavior. Tantrums don't get rewarded. That reinforces bad behavior and facilitates abusive people like fake positivity guy and yourself.

For anyone reading this thread later, it's cute that YouTube deleted about half of my responses for "bullying" a troll who kept engaging me and everyone else on this video with irrelevant discussion because he decided that there was too much "hate" (meaning disagreement with his political worldview) here, and he needed to be a trouble causing jerk. There was no bullying for LovePixels nor his soy defender jamesnurtec2734. This is what it's coming to. The people doing the accusing are guilty of their own accusations.

  276.  @patrikb315 Thank you for the reasonable question. The answer is that it depends on the situation, who's involved and what happens. There are situations where conflict and physical confrontation are either unavoidable or the most effective method of solving the problem. But the might is right mentality shouldn't be the default, or even the first choice if there are other avenues of redress. Forcing a child to fight because that's what makes a "real" man, as in OP's story, is simply abuse. All it teaches is that violence is the answer to every conflict, and if you can cause pain in someone else, that's all the justification that's needed. It's a great way to make a future bully, as presented in the OP's comments.

The previous idiot said "If people need education so badly Why hide it behind a Paywall?!" which implies, in his stupid, twisted logic, that if something is needed, it's free. Using his same logic, why is anything important not free? Why does food cost? Why do we pay for utilities? There's your explanation since you need it spelled out, edgy internet boi.

  282. Careful, you might get proven wrong. Transactions under a certain amount do not necessarily require a PIN, even when using chip as opposed to a mag stripe. Add the increasing threat of shimmers, and you may not want to be so cocksure about what is impossible in your corner of the world.

  283. You really took the word of a little boomer group from Kamm's Corners (not Cleveland) as representative of anything about Cleveland?
    1
  284.  @snacksupreme  Kamm's is so detached from Cleveland it might as well be Avon Lake. Linndale is its own city and has way more of a connection to Cleveland. I'd even give the experience of someone from Lakewood more credence. I'm not particularly interested in what spectators of Cleveland think it was or what it's become. It's inauthentic and a poor choice for someone pretending to make a documentary of any length about Cleveland. Maybe he'll go further out next time and let someone from Fairview, Rocky River or Bay Village reminisce about how they snuck into Cleveland once to buy weed and thought they were gonna die. 🙄

  285.  @snacksupreme  Truth hurts I guess. Again, Kamm's boomers were a bad choice. You can take an uninformed fantasy as authentic, but that's your own problem. I know better.

  286.  @snacksupreme  You're saying people who have little experience in Cleveland other than using it as a playground or vice indulgence have any valid opinion of a place where they don't live, don't work, and don't actually give a damn about? The world you live in is quite the construction.

  290. How about Ohio Governor DeWine's administration there Daisy? How about the local EPA who did next to nothing? How about local corporate oligarchs who allow the railroad to create unsafe conditions through a town no one cares about? Nah let's blame Biden. Let's also forget that 45 made train transport less safe in 2017 by withdrawing a rule mandating better, more reactive ECP brake systems on trains just like the one that derailed in East Palestine. Had this train been fitted with these brakes, the severity would've been considerably less. His administration also killed an Obama-era rule requiring a two personnel train crew in 2019. Both moves were to please big business and screw the people who have to live around rail lines. So if we're charging Biden, the orange one will be right behind him.

  291.  @daisymae749  45 made trains even more dangerous. Like I said. This isn't baseball, it doesn't if your team is up or down. This is about people's lives. Your guy, along with big business interests that the Republicans absolutely love (particularly Norfolk Southern, who contributed 6 million dollars to Republican politicians... just a coincidence though, right?) canceled rules that could've prevented this derailment or made it considerably less severe. The people responsible? That would be the party you love so dearly. You voted for this, congrats.

Why they had to walk uphill 10 miles to go to school then mill wheat for 26 hours before their homework was done by candlelight! Damn kids and their clothes and being fed. Yeah. Such easy times and such weak men. Such a stupid slogan.

  297.  @ExtremePainGames  LMAO "Lets not worry about words I used like easy or good ok." "Why on earth you used that to reply asking "where are the easy times" is your error sir." It sounds like you're kinda worried about it lil pain boi. Yeah yeah strength only the strong blah blah blah. It's incredible how full of hot air you types are. Actually we've done this previously and I see you still have the lunkhead mentality and haven't learned a thing since our last exchange. You're a conqueror warrior viking and everyone should be like you, ok man, sure. The idea of the weak who just need to work hard and "chase life" (such a stupid term) and the so-called strong who "just do it" is a false dichotomy said by privileged people with luxury beliefs who have never known adversity. It's something they tell themselves to justify their total lack of humanity or need to give a damn about anything beyond their own nose. They're blowhard hypocrites. Which is why it's something you embrace.

  300.  @virginiasanchez4614  Of course you love them. You're same sort of person as they are. They give you the validation to be the worst possible version of yourself. To vilify and demean. To be counterfactual and pretend that's just as good or better than actual truth. I'm vastly more qualified than the swamp that Dirty Diaper Donnie has employed in his first and second terms, after getting most of them off of their court convictions. I'm more qualified and so is my dog actually. America First until it's time to have fair employment practices. It's funny that your orange idol was against H1B visas the first time around, even restricting the program significantly. Now that Musk told him what to think, he's flip flopped and you didn't even notice, nor would you care. You'd just say it was a vast conspiracy of the mainstream media. America First until it's time to engage in fair trade. How low are your grocery and gas prices Virginia? Remember these were coming down on Day One. That's what the felon said, right? Remember how every food and gas price was the president's personal fault for the last four years? That doesn't change when there's an R after the name my dear. It was truth for you then, it can be truth now and you'll just have to deal with it. You care so much about saving the poor children unless they're the wrong color, or from the wrong side of the imaginary geopolitical line. Those kids you can't be bothered with, right? You voted for a man who bragged about sneaking in dressing rooms for teen beauty pageants to ogle. Bragged about grabbing women by the P. Save the children, right? Maybe your granddaughters can meet him and he can give them a very personal tour. I don't know which is worse for the fanbase, the hypocrisy or the sheer ignorance.

  315.  @8light7  You mean like the willful ignorance exhibited under Biden and Obama? How many Biden supporters made up a psychiatric syndrome to excuse criticism of him? How many people made supporting him their identity, complete with a little club name and a rallying cry? How many people made sure to plaster as many gigantic stickers on their pickup supporting him because they have a juvenile need to act out? Don't excuse cult behavior. Seriously. Especially when you're talking about ignorance. Obsession is viewing any criticism of a convicted criminal as a conspiracy or a lie no matter what he says, does, or what is proven about him. Obsession is getting a thrill out of being a petulant baby when people raise valid concerns. Obsession is putting an autocrat before your "love" of your country because that "owns the libs." Talk to the fanbase about obsession, not me.

If your government data was opened wholesale to unqualified individuals and groups under an administration with a D after it, you'd be screaming. But the felon's doing it so it's all good? Come on. The biggest harms in law and government are always done under the guide of protection, or efficiency for the poor taxpayers, or for the kids etc. How do tech guys not know this? When did you stop being logical?

  322.  @CoalHastings  The chance that every single conversation you have has the potential to change your life is about the same as an unexpected financial windfall. The likelihoods are quite similar. Even conversations with strangers that you're able to extract or construct some sort of meaning from aren't "life changing." Hyperbole abuse is common in the influencer/motivationbro space. Overselling is common in advertising. Doesn't make it true though.

The most heavily patrolled, surveilled and developed part of Cleveland was "super dangerous" to you? "Even by USA standards?" (Right because the hustlers in Windsor give you flowers) If walking around at midnight makes you think you're going to be robbed, take the shuttle back. Incredible the projection you have here.

  329.  @dankeck9849  Because people on SNAP benefits are evil? Ok. Y'all have some amazingly flexible morality.
    1
  330.  @AB-ol5uz  I can say that because his assumptions, along with yours, have been proven wrong for decades. These are the same Reaganomics myths that the right wing has been perpetuating for years while lining the pockets of themselves and their big business buddies. Qualification for SNAP benefits is based on financial need, not weight. They're literally STRUGGLING at the poverty level. They're not keeping their heads above water, they're drowning. By definition, if you don't qualify financially for assistance, you're doing better than they are. People who receive SNAP have a work requirement, training requirement, or a disability requirement, and have since the '90's. So the idea that "my tax dollars are paying for your fudge rounds" is false. Actually it's their tax dollars. Yes, there is such a thing as the working poor. It's entirely possible to be overweight and malnourished. So "someone who is overweight clearly has access to more than enough food" is false. It's not a judgment call for you to make. Obesity is a multifactor problem. You don't know the disposition of that person's health nor disability status. You don't even know who they're shopping for. Some overweight people have these things called children and families. It's the same bs snap judgments from people who can't keep their nose out of others business. If the poor buy cookies they're wrong. If they buy a steak they're wrong. If they buy organic produce they're wrong. "My tax dollars" blah blah blah. Attacking people who are at the bottom of society while loving people who are actually robbing you while waving a flag and talking about family values. Don't y'all ever get tired of being played for fools? The food assistance program has one of the lowest fraud rates of ALL federal programs, including farm subsidies. SNAP is around two percent of the federal budget. Two cents of each oh so precious tax dollar. Yeah, let's begrudge impoverished people some food while billions in aid are being given to other countries. Or some criminal is paid millions of taxpayer dollars to play golf at a golf course that he owns. Nah, no outrage there. It's trash sentiment from a trash song from a trash artist.
