  1. Fear is the mind killer....or maybe it's the spice.

  2. Lloyd Waldo, thank you for a very well written episode!

  3. I was warned in prenatal visits and in my prenatal research to be careful in the birthing center/ hospital. It's still quite common for nurses, especially older ones, to have been be trained (actual neonatal nurses) to 'give the mom a break' and formula feed in the night unless specifically told not to by the parents. I made my preferences clear, and yet there was STILL one nurse who tried to undermine my decision by asking if 'I was really sure about nursing through the night.' I'm certain that plenty of women were, exhausted and overwhelmed, convinced by that woman, and suffered the consequences.

  4. Not kidding, my husband saw the thumbnail and said "Oh, Lake Laogai." There were some very dark things in that show. Excellent show, though

  5. That's what it looked like in the thumbnail... That isn't exactly a smart thing to mess with....

  6. I'm so thankful for modern meteorology!!

  7. The Magnus Archives podcast has a Panopticon that features in the story. Highly recommend that podcast!

  8. Here is one of the few times where I'm glad to be living in America, on a good well, in a house that is less than 25 years old. No lead. One less worry😬

  9. I'm a fan of this channel, but this particular script felt like "Into The Shadows does Fascinating Horror."

  10. Thank you, as a person with a Master's level of education, I always appreciated when my professors cared about us as students. Helping make sure that the students can afford their class materials is a clear sign that you are there to teach what you know without the BS.

  11. Thank you! It's never easy to determine whether, as a white American, I simply didn't know any of this due to gaps in our education concerning other countries. I'm always interested in becoming more educated, especially in cases like this. We need to be armed with knowledge so that these things NEVER repeat. Hopefully.

  12. Oh, and I'm a middle class white American. I'm CERTAIN that if it's that blatant in the area where I am fortunate to live, that low-income women are still being subjected to the horrid open tactics described here.

  13. Pirates: not nearly as Jack Sparrow as one might wish. Sigh.

  14. He runs a bunch of channels, but he definitely knows how to manage his time. Takes it very seriously, actually.

  15. ​ @macdietz  I love that his writers are from all over the globe, too, the variety of perspectives benefit all of us.

  17. It's closer to 20 channels. He truly must be working a good 40 hour week doing nothing but planning and reading scripts. It's a wonder he doesn't have trouble with his vocal cords 😂 ❤

  18. 4:00 Beriya was neither stupid nor indifferent. He was a FREAKING MONSTER. It's entirely probable that he enjoyed the idea of the suffering of local communities, while glossing this over with some farce about studying the effects thereupon.

  19. I saw your comment's first few words and thought " huh. A person who might be enlightened about gender therapy..." Unfortunately, not likely. If you can't deliver in bed, guys, try getting advice on technique that doesn't involve p0rn, THEN try talk therapy, THEN look to hormone imbalances. Libido reduction is far more likely to be a result of poor sleep and stress than any actual imbalance.

  20. Or, indeed, any Soviet and post-Soviet orphanages. It's still not awesome.

  21. In the US, or at least in Virginia, any wild deer that are hunted for meat are also legally required to have the primary nervous system removed for this reason. It isn't a huge problem yet in wild deer populations, and I sincerely hope it never becomes one, but caution here is frankly wise.

  22. Is it just me, or does this all seem too convenient for forcing the Wilson government to react to the predictable outrage such a document would cause?

  23. Jackson isn't even close to how bad it COULD get. It is 'only' horrific.

  24. Michigan, generally, has a bizarre emergency management system that exacerbated everything involved for a myriad of reasons. It's not a typical American emergency system.

  25. 8:05 Nudging Into Lunacy. SIMON!! 😆😂

  26. Even a quarter of a century ago when my old butt was in college, we found ways to acquire used books or photocopies. It would easily be several hundred dollars a semester in the late 90s and that was when I found deals. When Amazon first started selling books, they were a good source for this. I believe my very first Amazon purchases were used college textbooks.

  28. Even here, BCE/CE! PLEASE!

  29. Prion diseases are TERRIFYING! Sure, sometimes they are spread foolishly, but, well, they can just be in the soil. How do you even deal with that?!

  30. @Fiestyfox I'm sorry that happened to you! Your situation is like the textbook example of when breastfeeding just isn't in the cards! Women should be able to be making this as an informed personal decision. ❤

  31. Pavlov was far more of a monster than is usually portrayed. That's a different ItS, though.

  32. Oh. Oh, my. Clara and the children! I think of my own family. If I or my husband were deeply mentally unwell, I think we would both try to protect our children while attempting to help the other. Clara was at the theater as well. There is plenty of PTSD to go around. The fact that their children went on relatively unscathed seems to indicate trauma induced psychosis rather than systematic mental illness.

  33. Hey, Simon! This one ISN'T an "In the Eye, out the Mouth." I am sure that the UK AND Czechia both have very similar problems. This isn't lead pipes in ancient Rome.

  34. I could tell almost to the word when this began to touch home for you, Simon. It was the meeting of the emotion the writer had from the beginning ( pardon, writer of this episode, I haven't checked your name yet, but it is a very good script in my unprofessional opinion) and your realization that this topic affects real people and their children. Yes. I'm also a parent. I 100% understand tour idea of tolerating something yourself, yet being utterly unable to accept exposing any child to the same.

  35. I am SO protective of clean water. We have a well. It is, thankfully, very clean. We live close enough to a major local river, the Potomac, that local public water is fairly good, especially since we are upriver of DC pollution. Despite all of this, we still have to fight to keep our aquifer from being siphoned off by new suburban developments that are large enough to be connected to public systems, but are in wealthy enough areas to disregard that in order to screw up all the farms who produce their food.

  36. We !I've precisely at the boundary between public water being mandated and wells. Here, the aquifer is quite good, but is also necessary for local agriculture (which is also largely eco-friendly). The developments I reference are within two miles, or four kilometers, of the local public water pipes. I'm not talking about huge distances. Develop like to pretend it's a big deal. It Is Not.

  37. 1:16 That's just the state schools. The legacy schools cost FAR more. It's not uncommon to be spending close to half a million dollars for an Ivy League education. Granted, part of that means that you'll have the opportunity to...say...go to Yale and cozy up to a guy that got rich(er) by selling PayPal, then end up as the US VP. Ya know, networking. 🙄😤

  38. The professors who required their own book for the class, especially if they specifically required the most recent edition of that book, tended to be narcissistic, arrogant, and not as smart as they thought. There was definitely correlation, and the causal loop wasn't exactly hard to see.

  39. I was at a friend's house when the Chelyabinsk meteor happened. They brought up the initial reports immediately, because it was largely untranslated at that point, and I speak Russian. Even those initial images were incredible and, in the classic sense, awe-inspiring.

  40. Is the Ambler area asbestos issue related to the section of Valley Forge that is off limits because it used to be an asbestos mine?

  41. The factories using Radium paint a la The Radium Girls were operating until AT LEAST the 1970s. Whenever corporations CAN, they WILL.
