Microsoft's strategy isn't to "win" any particular market, such as selling the most consoles or having the top selling game.. it's about having as many customers as possible - whether it's xbox, windows, office, outlook, azure etc.
More specifically it's not even focused on raw sales but rather an ongoing revenue streams from said customers - in layman terms subscribers/subscriptions.
At the end of the day it's about making money, they don't care whether you play on xbox or PC or yes, even Playstation or Steam.. a customer is a customer.
What better way to stick it to Sony than making money from selling games on the Playstation network?
Think of it this way... do you know any gamers who purely only have a PS5 - by that i mean they don't also play on PC or Xbox or Nintendo but exclusively play on PS5?
Now flip it around, how many gamers DON'T have or play games via a Microsoft product - so by that i mean windows on PC, Xbox console, mobile device or even xCloud?
A customer is a customer, even if you only make a few dollars a year from that customer, they are still a customer and add revenue to the bottom line.
That's why they have gone the opposite way in terms of exclusives, they WANT those gamers who exclusively play on PS5 as a customer.
Likewise for why crossplay is now a thing welcomed by Xbox, rather than all these silos (eg if you have a ps5 you'll only be playing with other ps5 ppl) the Microsoft approach is now the opposite.. let ppl on any platform play together. I'd hazard a guess that soon new Activision/Blizzard releases will let PS5 people play with PC and Xbox - Sony will fight it tooth n nail but it'll happen eventually. Exclusivity isn't a good thing for anyone but the company/thing that it's exclusive to.. i mean heck just look up the definition of exclusive!
This video seems to be looking at it from a zero sum game perspective, that someone who buys a PS5 is a loss for Microsoft as many of them won't buy an Xbox too. Sure, most won't but if they gain those people as a customer via another channel then the number of PS5 sales isn't a threat or concern to Microsoft - it may even be a good thing if they can tap into that customer base.. hence the acquisitions of Bethesda/Activision/etc. Was never about taking them away from Sony but just the opposite.. getting into Sony's pants and it's working.
Microsoft are playing chess whilst Sony and Nintendo are playing checkers... the easiest way to see this is what is their year-on-year growth for profit in ANY market, positive or negative?
The amount of profit just Gamepass alone is making is staggering...

â @l.w.paradis2108 you wake up one day and someone is knocking on your door.
The person claims to be your sister, they have short grey hair, pale skin and looks 60+ years old but your sister has long blonde hair, is only 43 and has a dark tan - she just got back from a vacation in Europe.
The person keeps knocking, they won't leave despite you telling them to and they demand to be let in as they have your medication - but you don't take any mediation.
Would you be sweet and kind to this person, pretend they are your sister, let them in and take whatever medication they give you... or would you start to get frustrated, refuse to let them and be very suspicious of whatever medication they are trying to force you to take?
Now here's the twist... that person IS your sister, she hasn't been to Europe in over 20 years, she visits you every day and that medication is for your heart and necessary to keep you alive. You must take it every day.
That's dementia. It's not that you "forget" stuff, it's that the world around you is not how you "remember" it.. because the only memories you have are from decades ago but they are you most recent memories.
I would not hire you as a baby sitter let alone a caregiver.

â @roolyfe âWe have this notion that somehow if youâre poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,â Biden, who is running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, said during a town hall in Des Moines with the Asian and Latino Coalition.
He paused, then quickly clarified, âwealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.â
âNo, I really mean it, but think how we think about it,â he said.

 @AGJ117 thats exactly how good leadership works.. a great leader inspires people to follow them, its by choice, not demanded, and not even because they are necessarily considered good/bad as thats subjective.
Trump hasnt built such strong following by lying, deceiving and cheating his supporters and not delivering on what his supporters want from their leader, its the very opposite actually.. his supporters are so enthusiastic and growing because he is exactly what they want their leader to be.
Where is the enthusiasm for Biden? Where are the massive crowds chanting "we love you" like Trump gets? The only unifying thing i see about people who voted for Biden is their hatred of Trump - its not really about what kind of leader Biden will be or what he'll do.. its just about hatred and Trump losing rather than Biden winning. Biden still won't answer basic policy questions and BLM have already started to turn on him, they are starting to see he was all talk and deceitful and more will do so as more details are revealed in coming weeks.
If you actually listen to Trump's own words, not the made up ones from "anonymous sources" or hearsay, and definitely not the media's fake portrayal of Trump.. you will see just how much the media has deceived, misinformed and censored certain information to paint Trump as bad and Biden as good.
Once that happens theres no turning back, theres hardly anyone who says "i voted for Trump in 2016 but now i voted Biden" and if they do they don't back it up with something of substance .. the reverse however is overwhelming and those peoples passion/enthusiasm for politics increases, they have a specific redpill moment they never forget.
People may hate Trump, and people may hate Biden.. you cant please everyone as they say.. but look at the things said by the supporters of each to the opposing leader to understand which crowd has the morale high ground and rally together in unity and support of each other. It's polar opposite between the two candidates.
Trump supporters spend more time promoting Trump than hating on Biden.
Biden supporters spend more time hating on Trump than promoting Biden.
The insults hurled towards Biden are extremely pale in comparison to the vicious as nasty insults hurled towards Trump.. that alone says a lot about the people each leader is inspiring to follow them and what kind of culture each promotes.
Peace!

Jimmy, i know its unlikely for you to see this since, well, you're videos get thousands of comments - but here goes anyway.
I'm a Trump supporter and yet i really value and enjoy your videos. Long time watcher first time caller as they used to say (altho ive madd commemts befors, just not one like this)
Why would a Trump supporter be a regular watcher you might ask? Well, whilst I don't always agree with the things you say, i actually agree much more than i don't. Plus often there are times you bring something to my attention i otherwise wouldn't have known or give me the "other sides opinion" in a straight talking kind of way with a side of comedy. And yeah i'll admit there are times its a guilty pleasure watching you rip into Pelosi or AOC etc ;)
But i digress, main point i want to raise is if you're getting crucified or ripped on for something (which seems to happen frequently) you usually do end up being right. Take it as a badge of honor and definitely keep giving em a I TOLD YA SO afterwards.
If not for your own relief, for the sake that you actually have sensible ideas and Democrats wouldnt be in such a bad state if more of em started taking your advice.
Anyway, i'll keep watching ya as long as you keep being you and churning out good content, no matter how many haters or how much crap you cop. I even watch when you're ripping on Trump, for reals, cause there are times you're not wrong there either :)
Peace!

 @dandenardi4584 sticks n stones, the whole premise that a president should act or behave in a certain way is hilarious. Likewise that he's not a politician and thus not fit to be president. I can totally imagine it!
1) he's the president, all presidents have the power and authority to hire/fire who they want for the positions they want. Thats how the American system works. There's no unfair dismissal laws or mandatory notice periods.
2) anyone incapable of both giving and receiving criticism and insults is incapable of being a leader. Its okay to be rude, mean, insulting it all depends on context, situation and the person. Some people thrive on competition, others falter, its up to the leader to identify and give appropriate directions for a desired outcome.
It's not a problem that she called him a thug, people call him all sorts of names, its that she encouraged people to "treat him like the thug he is". Thats bordering on inciting violence, entirely unprovoked and unjustified - this is his NIECE not a political opponent.
Why is she even on the show other than sharing the same last name? How would she know how Trump will react if he loses? When was the last time they were in a room together? When did they last speak to each other one on one privately? How can he be simultaneously the most insecure but also most overconfident person she has ever met?
Actually listen to what she said, its all vague, non-specific and there is nothing tangible. It's what you'd expect from a disgruntled ex-employee or ex-partner.
He's been president for nearly 4 years now, everyone knows the kind of person and president he is by now - what some people cant stand about him is what other people find appealing. Does he say some silly, rude and boorish things - absolutely! Does he intentionally rile up opponents or pit subordinates against one another - yep, valid leadership techniques to get certain results.
Throwing wide sweeping statements around like you do isn't just an amateur move but it strongly suggests you either lack the critical thinking skills required for complex/nuanced situations or frankly disingenuous in your position.
I challenge you to provide proof of Trump calling someone a nasty childish remark who didnt throw the first punch or isnt an opponent.
No hearsay, no sources close alleges he said things like "suckers" and "losers" .. straight from the horses mouth directly.. and has to be nasty.. not just a nickname or rude like "sleepy joe" or "pocahontas".. nasty.. look it up before you come back with something weak or hinges on interpretation.
Should be easy right? You said everyone who speaks up against him afterall.. we've crossed paths before, you sure you got what it takes to go on the offensive? :)
Dont bother replying without a link to support your wide sweeping generalization.

 @VibrantLivingLists "sweet so you want tax payers to pay hundreds of thousands for a hardline to be install to my house? 250km out of cbd."
Yes, that's the purpose of governments and taxes. Shared public infrastructure is exactly that, we all share the collective burden (and benefits) for things like electricity, sewage, roads, ambulances, police etc. Nobody should have a huge disadvantage or huge advantage based on their location - can you imagine having to pay more for electricity than your neighbour across the road because the transmission lines are on the other side of the street or something?
The whole necessity of the NBN being government owned again was that Telstra, the biggest carrier who had s monopoly with the copper lines, had no incentive to deliver a decent service to remote or complex locations and as a result the country folk or say people on what was called a RIM were rapidly being left behind in speed and pricing etc.
The NBN whilst costly has been an overall drastic improvement for all Australians and a net positive to the average tax payer. It's been a net negative to Telstra who were milking tax payers for decades.
To me, an average taxpayer, it's been a win/win in my books.

 @MasterHigure why not use 0x69 as the start? Conceptually there is nothing preventing that, it hypothetically could be done, but when you get down into the nitty gritty it's problematic with the way in which binary systems work and programmers think.
If you skew from 0 it throws everything else off - humans didn't choose to use sizes that are powers of 2, it's a byproduct of the underlying system.
Take just 4 bits, if 0001 is the first entry, 0010 is 2nd, 0100 is 4th - if as a human you then look at it in two halves, so 2bits + 2bits meaning 01 + 00 what comes naturally to you as to what that represents? Is the 01 representing 1st or 4th or 5th entry? Why did i suddenly add 5th? Well if 01 is normally the 1st entry plus there is 2 other more significant bits to the right, with each bit having 2 values, making 4 combinations.. then using typical calculation methodology 01 plus 4 would be 5! Yet it should be 4 if you count in sequence from 0001 right?
It essentially creates a scenario where it becomes an unclear exception to the way of thinking elsewhere from a programatic point of view.
If you then throw in signed vs unsigned bytes into the mix it gets a whooooole lot more complicated.
All for what gain? How is the programmer benefitting from this? Do the pros outweigh the cons overall? Will it cause other unforeseen issues in the long run?
It makes debugging much harder as you have to translate or compensate for this weird exception and always be left second guessing, ie 4th or 5th?
What are the pros beyond feelings as i'm really not seeing any from a technical standpoint - conceptually sure, it may feel more comfortable or natural for certain people starting at 1 but honestly, i see it only causing more issues than it improves.
All the programmers i know, myself included, don't have any difficulties throwing +1 when ever it's needed (eg output to log files) to be more human friendly.
Each to their own though, if you think the nightmare of 1 based indexing is better, go right ahead! It can be done in most languages...

 @rars0n oh you don't want to talk about the price of your fathers phone and when he got it now?! What a freaking surprise! But okay, we can pretend your father having a phone that would have cost $10k in today's money (adjusted for inflation) in the early 90's was no big deal.
I guess you don't want to talk about warez and IRC anymore too?!
The Nokia 5110 did NOT cost $100 back in 98, maybe on a 24 month PLAN but that doesn't equate to it costing $100 tbh. At the end of said XX months you would have paid at least a grand or 2 and a chunk of that was repaying the cost of the phone. If you tried to cancel before your contract ended they would typically slug you with the outstanding balance etc. At least that's how it worked where i am, i clearly can't speak for every place on earth but no way you could walk into a shop with $100 and walk out with a 5110 without signing a contract.
But more to the point it was in 1998 - which is late 90's.
You're basically now agreeing with me that for 95% of the population it was late 90' or early 00's where the average Joe could afford one and they became a thing, ie common place.
That was my passing remark which i've re-iterated over and over but you just aren't willing to acknowledge reality are you?
But hey, keep focusing on this one thing and keep searching for some technicality if it's going to help you sleep at night.
Perhaps this might help you realize i wasn't born yesterday, it's from one of the first results googling "when did cell phones become common place" and it appears this is where you got the "$100" figure from.. more interestingly you omitted everything else, i wonder why. You can't rewrite history based on cherry picking from search results... you really don't want me to actually put some effort in and find sources to backup everything i've said do you? My entire life long career is in telecommunications btw.

"Cell phones became common in the late 1990s. The first cell phone was introduced in 1973.
Cell phones became popular in the 1990s when the cellular revolution started. Prior to this time, mobile phones were mostly used by businesses and government officials. However, with the advent of cellular technology, cell phones became more accessible to the general public. This made it possible for people to stay connected with family and friends wherever they were. Additionally, cellular technology made it possible for businesses to communicate with customers and employees. As a result, cell phones became a ubiquitous part of everyday life.
How Much Were Cell Phones in the 90s
In the 1990s, cell phones were a novel idea. The Simon Personal Communicator, jointly marketed by IBM and BellSouth, was the first mobile phone to add PDA features. These phones allowed people to stay connected with friends and family even when they were away from home. They were also very expensive, costing around $2,000. However, cell phone technology has continued to evolve, and today there are many different types of cell phones available on the market.
What Cell Phones Were Available in 1998
In 1998, there were three cell phone models available on the market: the Nokia 5110, Nokia 6130, and Nokia 6150. Nokia 5110 was the most popular phone of the three, with over 150 million units sold. Nokia 6130 was the second most popular phone, with over 100 million units sold. Nokia 6150 was the least popular phone, with only around 40 million units sold.
One reason why Nokia 5110 was so popular was because it was affordable. It cost around $100 to purchase and was available in black, green, and red. Nokia 6130 was also affordable, with a price of around $150. The only downside to Nokia 6130 was that it was not available in black or red. Nokia 6150 was the most expensive phone of the three, costing around $300. However, it was also the most popular phone, with over 100 million units sold.

 @brianterence3211 so it gets a little complicated if you aren't familiar with claiming business expenses but to simplify in most companies people in leadership roles are generally given spending limits which don't require any form of approval.
This typically decreases as you work yourself down the chain, so the CEO may have a 25k limit, the people under her might all have a 10k limit and people under them might have say a 2k limit. Not requiring authorization however does not mean they can just purchase whatever they want so long as its under the limit, its just so they don't need to go through the formal process of requesting authorization and approval.. it is still expected however for any purchases made to be inline with company policy.
Essentially it's to cut down on the paperwork and streamline business processes, it would be silly for a senior manager to have to request and gain approval to purchase a resupply of printer paper each and every time its required or for some unforeseeable costs, maybe the printer breaks and so a new one can be purchased by a manager without having to request and the await approval by the CEO/board etc - it would be a nightmare if every single purchase had to first be approved by the CEO.
So, what happened with the watches? Well, Holgate sent one of the junior employees down, company credit card in hand, to the watch shop with the purpose of picking out and buying said gifts. This employee even sent Holgate pictures of the watches prior to actually making the purchase - so there is no mistake that although it wasnt technically Holgate who made the purchase physically.. it most certainly was done at her directive and she knew exactly what was being bought.
It's also very likely it was done this way because so long as the total price was under her spending limit, it wouldnt require any approval and wouldnt raise any flags - rubber stamping is pretty common for small charges, and yeah 12k for a CEO is considered a small charge, so the CFO who annually signs off on all these charges probably wouldn't even think twice about questioning exactly what the 12k was for - particularly if there are bigger charges for other legitimate things, it sort of gets buried.
Now here is where the business speak comes into play and things gets muddy, specifically in regards to the chair making the comment about it being "inconsistent". Was the purchase of watches a legitimate business expense? Or in business speak was it consistent with the company policies. Well there isn't a black/white answer to this, it's not like there is a well defined list of what is or isnt a required business expense - its different for all companies but even moreso it's not as simple as saying watches are or are not even for a certain company.
Let's just say it's crucial for an employee to have a watch in order to perform their work duties but they dont have one.. the company can't force the employee to go buy one.. however in this scenario its perfectly acceptable for a watch to be purchase using company funds and given to the employee, think of it like buying a hammer for a building apprentice.
Furthermore, particularly with private companies rather than public ones, there is more leeway in terms of what is considered a business related expense and what isn't... and here is where Holgate was coached to use the "we are a commercial company" line in an effort to explain the charges and her conduct which is more inline with what goes on in a private company rather than a public one.
For example if the company has a sales team that closes large deals with clients by first wining and dining them, then its very common for the sales people to have company cards which they use to take clients out for lunch/dinner where they pay the entire bill. This might be an acceptable business expense in some scenarios, but wouldn't be for others - a postie (ie person who delivers letters) taking clients out to lunch on a company card would not be acceptable for example.
Now lastly here is the nail in the coffin.. they mention "she could have awarded these 4 executives up to $150k". This is another thing many people would be unfamiliar with but this is again fairly commonplace for leadership roles in big corporations, you have what is termed an "at-risk" portion of your salary.. or what most people would think of as a bonus. Normally it gets tied to meeting certain goals and objectives but again there is some discretion as to when it comes time to calculate how much of that at-risk portion you actually end up getting. In many companies whilst this is budgeted its not expected for employees to get the whole amount, it's a way of rewarding outstanding performance.
So, why didnt Holgate simply award these 4 executives say 50k of the 150k at-risk portion of their salary? Getting a 50k bonus is far better than a 3k watch right? And as the segmen states she could have given them up to 150k. Well it's not quite that simple. Firstly, by rewarding the employees this way it would of required justification and sign-off from the board.. and there might have been underlying reasons as to why the board may not have been willing to approve such bonuses for these employees. Secondly and more sinisterly... what if she already intended to give the full 150k to each but wanted to do even more? Well in either of these scenarios you'd have to get a little creative on how you could give the employees something of value, requiring no authorization and paid for by the company (she wasnt going to use her own money or bonus was she?).
That's where the purchase of the watches comes in. Keep it under the spending limit, do it on the down-low and so long as nobody questions or finds out about it.. then whats the big deal? It was only 12k afterall, and its not like thats a huge amount when you take their salaries into consideration.. and that was likely her train of thought. These 4 executives just closed a huge billion dollar deal.. surely giving them a 3k watch each is no big deal in the grand scheme of things, she could of given em 150k remember?
Well its not about the price of the watches, and in fact the price was almost certainly kept low in order to sneak it under the radar. It's that she willingly and knowingly made these purchases, which are not consistent with Auspost's policies and legislative requirements - combine this with the boards statement that for Auspost the act of rewarding employees via gifts is not the way they operate, they instead use remuneration (ie at-risk or bonus payments) and it might be a little more clear why she didn't break any laws (cause there are none in terms of how employees can or cant be rewarded) but there is no question to anyone in-the-know that what Holgate did was shadey and inappropriate.
They may have had it in for her, and were just waiting for her to trip up so they could pounce.. but given this occurred nearly 2 years before it suddenly was found out and when it was, very swift action was taken... its more likely that this did not begin as a political hit job, but rather was turned into one.. what started it all was the whistleblower who leaked that this happened.
Who is the whistleblower? It may remain a mystery to the public but Holgate would have a pretty good idea but she hasn't said a word about that aspect.. rather she's trying to play victim but in reality it was her own conduct that led to her being stood down... and IMO rightly so, that sort of shadey stuff has no place in public companies. Doing it in blackmores, no problemo.. its a private company they can do as they please with their funds.. but a public company where the government (and ultimately all Australian citizens) are the sole shareholders.. i expect far better and everything to be squeaky clean.
This is why Morrison made the very colorful statement he did... he understands exactly what went and and in his words.. its not on! She must go!

â @infinitivez What you're failing to recognise is whom is being harmed and for what purpose - those are not contrary at all, you just don't understand cause and effect properly which is highlighted by the troublemakers argument.
In all 3 examples but picking the easiest to illustrate is union strikes. Who is being harmed? Well in most cases, lets say railway strike or even the writers strike where the public harmed? Yes to a degree, they were certainly collateral damage that's for sure but the main harm was not aimed at them but rather those in control with the power to meet their demands - the 'oppressors' so to speak, so railway bosses, studio executives, and for the other 2 would be 'white people' and 'men'.
Then we have for what purpose? Well the ones you so kindly labelled as 'troublemakers' had demands that weren't being met and so to remedy this they decided that enough was enough and refused to do anything, the purpose was ultimately to get what they wanted but more directly it was an action that was intended to display the under appreciation of the role they play in society and that they are deserving of the things they are demanding. The purpose was not to cause trouble nor gain the image of being troublemakers - that's a pretty demented mentality to be frank.
cause disruptions to tv broadcasts, movie goers or chain themselves to bridges either did they? They simply took no action.
The general public for the most part don't view taking no action or 'refusing to do something' in the same light as specifically taking action 'intending to cause trouble', especially when those actions are not causing any trouble for those in control and whom the demands are being sought from but merely trouble for the general public. I mean sure, there was Bob who got angry about the re-runs, but talk about being tone deaf and immature brandishing them all as heroic troublemakers doing what had to be done.
But hey, what would i know.. maybe the times have changed and women burning their own bras is exactly the same as vandalising valuable and irreplaceable art?
Besides, i bet that de-railed train had it coming....they didn't want to but had to.. it was the only way to get what they want... friggen oppressors amirite?!?

 @pronumeral1446 1) you may want to brush up on the restrictions again, a community sport match is not what people refer to as going to the footy, ie attending a stadium to watch the AFL, NRL etc. There most certainly wont be a gathering of thousands of people watching any game involving a ball come thursday. And you call me clueless, pfft i dont even live in NSW and i seem to understand the restrictions better than you.
2) they are potentially putting their health at risk, it doesnt bother me that they are doing this and im not going to stop em, nor am i saying im better than them by not protesting, hence im not virtue signalling at all.. if they want to do something i think is foolish as i said, they can knock themselves out.. let dumb people do dumb things.. unless of course you think covid isnt real, all the deaths around the world have been faked like the moonlanding or something. The point about picking a lane, make up your mind etc should be directed at the woke mob, they're the hypocrits - that was my point.
3) when was the last aboriginal death in police custody? What were the circumstances behind it? Did they die from an officers brutal actions or did they die from another cause whilst they were locked up? Throwing around numbers like 420+ in 29 years doesnt give the full story does it. Why is it suddenly so important to protest THIS weekend, not two weeks ago, not in two weeks time but NOW. Because a non-aboriginal died in a country on the other side of the world?
Let em have their 15 minutes of rage and white guilt, im sure in a few weeks they'll move onto some other woke controversy and forget all about this one.. just like they've done with covid.

Ok Sam. Duly noted, enjoy the calm tranquillity and serenity that will wash over you, like a large wave on a summers day, the distant sound of palm trees rustling in the wind, as you sit alone, taking the heat, from the scorching sun, oh those Bahamas rays beaming down, so much you suddenly burst into flames, right there in the court room, during sentencing.
Then everybody stood up and clapped.

As a colonizer and oppressor, you give the oppressed some land next door to you and start raising some lambs in your backyard.
Your next door neighbour, the colonized and oppressed, doesn't like this and decides to start feeding and housing wolves.
Every few weeks the wolves slaughter a bunch of your lambs. You ask your neighbour to please stop harbouring the wolves that are killing your lambs, their response is "no, that paddock you built is occupying land i want, you should move out"
This goes on for years and many lambs and wolves are killed.
You decide you've had enough and inform your neighbour that as they're not willing to control the wolves they are harbouring, you're going to start culling them and they should steer clear if they didn't want to get hurt in the crossfire.
Your neighbour ignores you and instead decides to set up a tent and sleep with the wolves.
One evening many wolves are erradicated but your neighbour in their tent gets hurt and his wife dies. It's very sad.
You once again approach them about the wolves, they yet again refuse to do anything, stating they are not responsible for the wolves actions and you are occupying land they want.
The difference between you and your neighbour is that they condone wolves slaughtering your lambs, even in the aftermath of losing a wife, in the interests of gaining territory, aka terrorism... whereas you condone slaughtering wolves, even in the aftermath of killing the wife, in the interests of preserving your lambs.
Neither side is completely innocent, lives are being lost by both.. one values life over land whereas the other values land over life.
Which side you align with matches your values.

 @EpicMania18 how did Kyle undermine police and justice exactly?
As you've stated yourself he went there with the purpose of protecting property and people, he wasnt there to make a political statement, fight for racial justice, make his voice heard or such things.
He felt local law enforcement weren't doing enough and decided to step up - sure, this might not have been a wise move but at the same the police didnt seem to have any issues with him (and dozens of others) wandering the streets with firearms. It'd be a different matter if police instructed Kyle to go home upon seeing him wandering the streets during curfew with a rifle but they didnt - in fact even after the shootings they just drive on by as if its not out of the ordinary, just another peaceful protestor walking the streets during curfew.
You can't have it both ways. If police are turning a blind eye to people committing crimes, breaking curfew, burning and destroying property etc it can't be then said that people taking matters into their own hands to prevent these very things that police should be doing but aren't, are undermining them.
I totally agree there is no law and order currently - thats the crux of the problem!
Furthermore it's not the police's fault for their inaction - it's fairly obvious these arent rogue law enforcement officers just letting people do whatever they want and are ignoring their superiors. The lack of action by police is a directive coming from much higher up than the officers themselves and even the police dept as a whole.
There is just going to be a growing number of these incidents involving civilians taking matters into their own hands whilst the violence, looting and destruction continues with police taking little to no action to prevent it.
It's ironic that the people trying to push the narrative that Kyle was only chased and attacked by other civilians (the mob) after he shot someone - as if this suddenly means it's okay for people to take matters into their own hands - are generally the same ones trying to make the arguement that Kyle shouldnt have taken matters into his own hands. The hypocrisy is truly amazing!
Anyhoo when i say law n order will prevail i'm talking in the near future, things are likely to still get worse until there is an incident that can't be spun for political gain or is so egregious that people start questioning where were the police?
Who wants to live in a society where on a weekly basis there is yet another business looted and burnt to ground, yet another violent assault or death from "mostly peaceful" protests.. causing chaos and civil unrest isn't an effective way to bring about justice and peace.

 @sh0t0kan guess i'm not getting that list then?
It's a slang/informal term, from a legal perspective there is no such thing.
Y'all are thinking that because you've done a google search and found some text that matches "grand theft auto", it must be the legal definition of the crime. It's not.
Just as there is no such thing as "Grand Theft Fire" or my favourite misconstrued crimes that are not a legal definition "Grand Theft Fish"
There is only "Grand theft" and "Petty theft"
Under "Grand theft" there are several different classifications that, if met, could see a person be charged with "Grand theft". Whilst someone could be charged with "Grand theft" of an automobile, firearm, fish or any other item, there is no such thing as "Grand Theft Auto" from a technical legal perspective - to put it into perhaps words you kids will understand... You will not find a single court case, even in California, where someone has been charged for the crime of "Grand Theft Auto" nor "Auto theft" nor "Grand Theft Fire" nor "Grand Theft Fish" all of them, legally speaking, are just "Grand theft"
Here is how that section of penal code in Cali actually begins, perhaps this will make you comprehend the section D part more clearly, which is NOT confirmation that GTA is a thing, its a slang/informal term:
---
What Does California Penal Code §§487(a) â (d) [Grand Theft] Prohibit?
In sum, to be guilty of Grand Theft under CPC §§487(a)-(d), you must:
Take property or services worth more than $950; OR,
Take a firearm; OR,
Take an automobile; OR,
Take fish from a fishery or research operation; AND,
Intend on keeping what you took.

 @DudeRevolution ps this is from the WP just a few weeks ago.. the numbers you quote arent even accurate.. shows just how well informed and closely you care about this wall
---
September 30, 2020Â
CBP officials are preparing a ceremony for Trump next month that will mark the completion of 400 miles of new fencing. The administration has installed more than 341 miles so far, according to the latest figures, and CBP officials say they remain on track to finish at least 450 miles by the end of 2020.
Mark Morgan, the acting CBP commissioner, told reporters that the president has proved his doubters and critics wrong.
âEven as the nonbelievers, the folks who have been out there for a very long time who said we were never going to get this done, what I refer to as the judicial activism of lower courts that have tried to stop our construction of the wall, the false narratives and, quite frankly, the lies out there about the effectiveness and need of the wall â despite all that â this president has remained steadfast in his commitment, his commitment to the American people and to the men and women of CBP,â

 @orbatos keep on telling yourself that, seriously, you think the worlds richest person runs several huge companies - each of which is highly sought after to work for by the worlds leading engineers - has no skills? He just lied and cheated his way to the top and you could totally do it too, in fact, in your brain you genuinely think you could do it even better if only you were given the same head start as him.. dont you? đ
Here i'll leave you with a test, it's a really simple test, a test which i bet you will refuse to do, why is that? Because of the type of person you are and basic psychology... so here goes. All you need to do is the following thing between the two lines:
-----------
Say something about yourself that is self deprecating and sincere.
-----------
Here i'll even go first to show you how it's done, it's easy for me but i suspect extremely difficult for you - i'm not a very good speller and would make a lot of mistakes without spellcheckers.
Now your turn chief... I'll only respond further if you're able to do this simple thing.. i can do it, Musk can do it, but can you.. ? đ

 @orbatos even if i pretend everything you said is true, how is space x ahead of boeing to develop a crew capsule?
Boeing were awarded a 4.2b contract first, space x was awarded a 2.6b contract after Gerstenmaier (head engineer of human exploration program for NASA) convinced the government they should have a competitor to boeing just in case.
Now the immediate answer would be, well Musk just hired better people than boeing and it's those people doing all the hard work.
Okay, cool, but how did Musk know which people were better or the best compared to boeing?
Your answer to that could be Luck? He just happened to get lucky in a coin toss when selecting candidates for the job.
Okay, cool, if that's the case why hasn't boeing managed to lure these worlds best engineers to either return or work for them - especially as they were awarded more money they could surely match or beat Musk on pay, and if Musk is just a bafoon without any knowledge as you claim, not only that but then taking all the credit for the hard work of others.. surely they would jump ship yeah?
But here is the kicker, Musk is the head of space x, even if he didn't own the company that in itself is an achievement. A huge one.
That alone is undeniable and upsets you, attacking me or Musk may make you feel better about yourself but it won't change the simple fact that Musk is the head of space x - the company that will rescue the 2 astronauts that boeing stranded on the ISS on their very first crewed Starliner mission to the ISS.
Oof.

 @jordanmercier3616Â
I think you and i are somewhat in agreement on what we both feel would be acceptable or not acceptable so i don't want to get dragged into the weeds or debate.
tldr; autopen whilst the President is present seems okay based on a long history dating back to 1800's , however without being present it seems there mixed opinions and is yet to be tested/ruled on by the supreme court. That might change soon following the requests for the DOJ to investigate.
I'll lastly just add to what you've pasted with a similar paste of my own which provides a bit more context... notably the parchment or quality paper requirement to be enrolled but also whether the President's precence is required.
(Electronic signatures are a nogo due to the parchment/paper requiremet)
----
While beyond the scope of this Article, the solution to the presence
requirement does not, under current law, rest in having a copy of the original
bill presented by Congress sent to the President via electronic means (such
as facsimile or scanned and e-mailed) to have the President sign the copy
personally. Federal law requires that an enrolled bill, that is, one that has
passed both chambers of Congress, be printed on parchment or paper âof
suitable qualityâ and âsentâ to the President.68 As the Presidentâs Office of
Legal Counsel admitted in the Cedarbaum Memorandum, electronic
presentment and return is not the most natural reading of the law.69 The
Cedarbaum Memorandum states in summary:
In light of the novelty of electronic presentment and return,
and the need to ensure that the President and Congress â as
well as the public â share a common understanding of the
means by which these fundamental steps in the lawmaking
process may be carried out, we recommend that, before
electronic presentment and return might be used, 1 U.S.C.
§§ 106, 106a, and 107 be amended to provide expressly for
the permissibility of electronic presentment and that the
President and Congress reach an agreement, whether by
statute or other means, concerning the permissibility of
electronic return of bills.70
Even if federal law is changed to allow for electronic presentment and
return, there are strong policy71 and constitutional arguments against
allowing electronic presentment and return, many of which are captured in
the Cedarbaum Memorandum. Indeed, the Cedarbaum Memorandum
concedes that â[a]s far as we are aware, [it] has been Congressâs unbroken
practiceâ to have House and Senate representatives sign one paper bill that
the President signs.72 The Cedarbaum Memorandum actually cites two prior
Office of Legal Counsel memoranda that conclude that the Constitution does
not permit electronic presentment and return.
We have in the past advised that this provision requires the
President to sign the enrolled bill actually signed by the
presiding officers of the House and Senate. See
Memorandum to the Files from Ralph W. Tarr, Deputy
Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, Re:
Presidential Signing of Bankruptcy Extension Act at 10-11
(June 13, 1984) (â[t]he Constitution appears to require that
the President sign the actual enrolled bill presented to him,
not a copy or facsimile thereofâ) (âTarr Memoâ); see also
Memorandum to the Files from Jeffrey P. Singdahlsen,
Attorney-Adviser, Office of Legal Counsel, Re:
Preliminary Advice and Consideration Regarding Proposal
to Fax Continuing Resolution to the President While He
Was Abroad at 1-2 (Dec. 22, 1999) (âSingdahlsen Memoâ).
We did so in part based on the provisionâs wording and in
part based on the unbroken practice of presenting the copy
actually signed by the presiding officers.

 Plato Emerson i'm not suggesting you join anything, i'm saying you could choose to do good in the world rather than evil. The choice is yours, im merely saying the path you are on is quickly running out and nobody here is fooled by you. If you want to continue go right ahead, what you don't realize is you need this more than you think - addiction can be very unhealthy, especially one based on a reliance of being an unlikable person.
Your fancy word games may give you small satisfactions but chasing such things is a fools errand. You believe you're smart and funny but in reality you are shallow and empty inside, deep down you know it even if you aren't willing to admit it.
You're not helping anyone, you're not seeking truth, you're not learning anything, you're simply selfish with a desperate need to feel superior to fill the emptiness in your life - you wouldn't be here wasting time typing rubbish if you had a more rewarding life with something better to do.
Worst of all you're not even competent in what you're attempting to do, the moment you're challenged you resort to insults and deflection. You are unable to follow through with your own words and it's obvious to everyone but yourself. You're lack of self awareness is truly astonishing it would almost make me smile if i didnt feel so sorry for you.
You said "show me proof and i'll show you mine" so where is it? I provided you a link, with proof, and you did not do the same.
Do you keep your word like an honorable person or do simply get caught up in your own web of lies less than a few hours after you made them? That doesnt seem very intelligent to me.
I'll do it again, because it's so simple and i can keep doing it if you so choose:
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/18693929/king-v-whitmer/
Now what have you got beyond your own words, because if that's all you've got and you're unable to provide a source or link or something of substance to backup what you say next, you'll simply look like a fool yet again.
Tread carefully my friend, the path ahead is rough.

 Plato Emerson  @Plato Emerson ahh good ole Chris Krebs, who was responsible for the rediculous CISA webpage is a proven swamp creature, he denied the existance of scytl servers in frankfurt so he either is a liar or utterly incompetent at his job (hence why he was fired)
https://mobile.twitter.com/pepesgrandma/status/1327830532739264512
Furthermore if you had actually read thru the link i sent earlier you would see the Dominion systems contain many vulnerabilities, at least 2 compromised accounts, the Eric Coomer and chyna money connection and so on. You'd know this if you actually looked into all the exhibits like i suggested multiple times. When you weigh up all of the things mention in just that one case, you would have realized how silly the generic statement with no supporting evidence or justification for "most secure election ever" made by an incompetent ex-employee who is on suicide watch would be before even sending it through as "proof"
With Michigan thats even worse, that state is riddled with several different types of documented fraud, eg thousands of dead voters, registered voters with an address that resolves to a PO box (which is illegal in itself) but were sent and returned mail-in ballots, more mail-in ballots in the certified results than were received and even less were even sent out in the first place. This not only, once again destroys the "most secure election ever" narrative above but also destroys the two media articles about Michigan which contain no supporting evidence or adequate justification.. but it yet again shows you didnt even look at the exhibits in the link like i suggested - that makes it doubly foolish to the point its laughable.
That the best "proof" you got?
I dont see how any of my remarks could be considered projection - thats a really weak defense. I'm not fearful of you at all, quite the opposite the only thing i'd be worried about is calling you out so well that you become suicidal like Krebs. As for self loathing what gives you that impression, unlike you i don't need to resort to immatute slurs and insults - in fact i've done the opposite, i've been rather restrained and even gone so far as to give you some sound advice on how you could work towards being a better person.
I've stay true to my word, i seek the truth, i attempt to help others rather than just insult and deflect.
So in summary, when you finally decide to provide "proof" of all the ridiculous stuff you've said, you respond with a webpage that contains a generic statement from an incompetent ex-employee, and two "news" articles that are severely lacking in any justification and containing zero evidence.
Want to have another go? Or is this no longer satisfying your addiction of needing to feel so smart n superior anymore? It's never too late to learn the truth, realize your errors of the past and start doing good in the world.

 @coryc9040 did you actually go read the comment section of the video?
I did, and i can only come to the conclusion that you either
A) didn't read them and just assumed
B) don't have a sense of humor or sarcasm
Below are some of the top comments on the video from the "stupid" audience which have huge like numbers... if you think "most seem to think Howard is brilliant" by all means point out a few examples to support your claim as i'm not seeing them.

â @Josh-hq6eb Ask yourself, imagine you ran a unicorn shop which manufactures and repairs unicorns for clients, your business is doing well and it's time to hire a new employee!
You interview a bunch of ppl, most have unicorn assembly or similar experience but one catches your eye in particular.. a young lady, just graduated highschool, never even ridden on a unicorn before let alone experience building or repairing them but she really likes them. A lot. She can list every model your company has ever produced, plus your competitors and even tried making her own mini-scale unicorn as a school project.
Now she's going to take far longer to train, may even damage some things early on but you like her enthusiasm and think once she gets the hang of it all could be one of your best employees - so despite your best judgements you give her a go! Without a non-compete clause cause you ain't like that homie, you're a good guy.
A few months go by and low n behold a few unicorns were badly damaged and took 3 times as long to train but finally she's doing great! You've taught her the tricks of the trade and one of your biggest clients even sent her a thank you gift after she repaired 20 unicorns for them last week. She quits that day, doesn't say why or even has to and cause you're a good guy - you just let her fly away free!
A few weeks go by and oddly, you haven't heard from that big client very much recently, they used to order 12 unicorns a week but haven't ordered a single one for at least 2 weeks now.
You call em up to check everything is okay and if they need any unicorns. They say nah, things are great and they've been ordering unicorns from this new company you've never heard of for $1 less than your price. Other than that the unicorns are nearly identical and even have your special unannounced tail features that were going to be released next week after a year in secret development!
You lookup this new company and who owns it only to find out it's the young lady.
She not only took your client but your new product feature.
What do you do? Cause you're a good guy it's simply a competitor offering a better price and product, so ask yourself who has actually been robbed? đ€·

 @gingertom56 start with? That's a weird way to phrase what can more accurately be described as "an outlier"
ABC are doing their best cherry picking to soften the blow for people like you but the reality, with full context, tells another story (see below cut n paste).
Anyone who has been to one of these remote rural areas (i have, albeit many many years ago) knows that indigenous people, much like non-indigenous, do not all think the same and have differing views - but they most certainly don't think like "city folk" do that's for sure. Trying to paint the situation as though they are a single unified body that as a whole overwhelming voted yes is naive at best or disingenuous at worst.
Each to their own though, people will see what they want to see when faced with uncomfortable truths...
--
Looking just at polling places where 100 or more formal votes had been counted as of around midday Sunday local time, there were 97 locations where at least 80 per cent of voters opposed the Voice.
Those leading pockets of opposition were in:
Moonyoonooka, on the fringes of Geraldton
Newdegate, a largely farming community in the Great Southern
Calingiri about an hour-and-a-half north-east of Perth
Mukinbudin in the Wheatbelt
Cervantes, a coastal town two hours north of Perth.
By contrast there were just five polling places that showed the same level of support for the proposal â all but one of them mobile polling teams that went into remote communities in the massive seat of Durack, which stretches from WA's very northern tip down to Northam, north of Perth.

â @keoghanwhimsically2268 it's not being anal, its about being legally and technically correct. Fairly important aspects given the context of the video, no?
The recipe for Coca Cola and Colonel Sanders 12 herbs and spices are examples of intellectual property that is not and can not be protected by copyright. Copyright is actually very niche in the world of business - it's moreso about books, movies, music etc.
The logos for Coca Cola and KFC (the picture of Colonel Sanders) are examples of things protected NOT protected by copyright but by trademarks.
Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Brother are examples of things which are protected by both trademark and copyright - which depends on context.
If i were to create a game with a little blue echidna that ran really fast and collected coins called Super Mario Echidna that would breach copyright but not trademark.
If i were to create an online poker game and called it Sonic the Hedgehog Poker, even if it didnt include the little blue hedgehog or anything else relating to that little guy this would be a breach of trademark. Likewise if i called it SillyPoker but then threw a large picture of a blue hedgehog that resembles Sonic as the cover art or title screen etc.
Distinction is very important and anyone with the opinion that it doesn't matter, or worse that Intellectual Property as a whole should not exist, has not and likely never will create anything of value.
Don't be that guy. No one should want to be that guy and yet i see several of them here in this thread.
Throwing 12 herbs n spices over some chicken aint complicated or difficult, almost anyone could do it - but figuring out which 12 and the ratios to give an intended outcome or result is.
Colonel Sanders was not a giant multinational company, it was these protections which allowed him to go from a nobody to a somebody. Same with McDonald's and just about every other western multinational company.
The law protects both large and small, and those abusing it both large and small, should also face repercussions.
The alternative of scrapping all these protections will essentially result in even more cheap knock-off stuff not only from China but from anywhere, anytime by anyone - is that a world you want to live in?

 @alexobery9813 do you know who Tony is?
Are you aware he has physical evidence beyond the laptop from hell? Evidence and willing to testify that Joe is "big guy" and "chairman" which is referenced in the 3 mobile phones he's supplied.
I know the MSM and deranged people like you may hope that it will all blow over and it will be forgotten about it in a week, as that's the norm with politics, but in order for that to occur it requires the matter to go thru the normal organic process, ie, examination, investigation, scrutiny and public discourse etc.
By surpressing this from occuring its preventing this from happening and merely delaying the inevitable.
The funny thing is normally its a race between the media moguls to "get the scoop" and track down leads, get insider information, leaked docs etc.. basically anything to get those clicks.. yet the exact opposite is happening here.
Nobody is buying the "not a credible source" or "its already been debunked" BS - just like the 60 minutes host saying the laptop cant be verified, to the president of the US.. guess she thinks her words outweigh and overule reality because thats all she provided to support her view.. "no it cant".. thats it, no explanation, no elaborating, just nup.. cant be done.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to debate whether a laptop can be verified with the president and his arsenal of FBI, CIA, DOJ, etc at his disposal and zero justification.

@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745Â naw here are some words of encouragement.
Dont buy into the propaganda, look only at his actions, not his words, not words of anonymous this or disgruntled former that. Just actions alone. Nothing more.
He took a fricken bullet to the ear and still had his composure - he did 3 hours with Rogan cool calm and collected, no bathroom breaks, no teleprompter or aide by his side. No out-of-context cheap fakes from 3 hours non-stop. Then got on a plane and did a rally, no sweat. Next day, got up and did it all again - you can't fake that.
He's not some frail old man, wannabe dictator or egomaniac like they say. That's real strength and stamina. He's not perfect and he's gunna mess up some things, that's life.
And yeah we're going to have to put up with all the đ man bad ppl screeching but with the house, senate and presidency - the next 2 years is make or break for his legacy. There's gunna be change, we all want change, everyone, even the status quo ppl, we all want change.
One thing everyone can agree on, he loves America and wants it to be great again. That's real.
The world is a better place when America is strong and doing great.
What sort of American doesn't want America to be great again? Who doesn't want the world to be a better place? Who would go out of their way to prevent that and smear him for trying? They are the real garbage human beings if you ask me.
Nobody likes being deceived and lied to, many are still fully processing it but it can't be unseen.
Actions not words. It's gunna be a wild ride đ«š

 @TheRealMycanthrope in my own simple words, it's changes, movement or advancements which occur over time.
In the words of Wikipedia progress is the movement towards a refined, improved, or otherwise desired state. In the context of progressivism, it refers to the proposition that advancements in technology, science, and social organization have resulted, and by extension will continue to result, in an improved human condition; the latter may happen as a result of direct human action, as in social enterprise or through activism, or as a natural part of sociocultural evolution.
YCSP is a common phrase to emphasize the futility of trying to prevent or influence something outside of your control, much like "the only constant is change" or "the only thing certain in life is death"
 ââProgress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.â - George Bernard Shaw

â @janef7191 we have a similar weighting structure for states in terms of ensuring the smaller population states are not drowned out by the larger ones - if we didnt the results for sydney/melbourne would essentially decide the entire election. What they would be referring to is that we have an independent, truly non-partisan body that is responsible and dedicated to running our elections. Everything is as transparent and fair as it could possibly be, ballots are counted by hand with results known on the evening - in cases where it's close they automatically do a recount. Whilst you don't typically need ID, you must provide personal details which match the electoral roll and there are various checks and balances to ensure ppl don't vote multiple times, which again is all processed on the evening and should there ever be a situation that some dodgy stuff has occurred, the results are void and we do another round of voting.
When i was much younger i used to not like that it was mandatory to vote, as i've gotten older, understand much more about the whole process and seen what occurs elsewhere in the world.. i've completely done a 180 and am in full support of mandatory voting and truly believe Australia has one of the best, if not THE best election committee and run system in the entire world.
I challenge anyone to suggest a country that runs their elections better than Australia and back it up with something tangible as proof, many are equal, but better? I'm open to hearing constructive criticism.
I can understand that Americans will scoff at mandatory voting, 'merica freedom rah rah, but the hodge podge each state running their own unique system with antiquated rules, stale to registrations, gerry mandering and a long list of other things is why Americans have lost faith in elections and the results as a whole.. where as in Australia it's the opposite, if a certain seat wins by just a few dozen votes there's no uproar or weeks upon months of controversy.
I predict no matter which side wins the US election this year, the losing side will not have faith in the results and yet again we'll be in for weeks if not months of drama again.. banning verification/ID check for ALL forms of voting in California is **insane**

 @thoughtricity4296 By shifting the orthogonal plane and thereby making the pathway in one direction longer than the other it should make it possible to detect if there is a difference in speed based on the direction - not what the speed is but just if its different. Ie you rule it it or out.
Think of it like this, you're at home and you send a friend in a car to get a bottle of milk from the shops - you stay at home and time how long it takes them.
If they go there and back in a straight line, the distance there and back would be equal. Now lets say the speed limit on the way there is 90mph, and 10mph on the way back - this is the unknown variable though. Naturally going to the shop would be quicker than coming back, but since you have no idea when they got to the shop only the total trip time there is no way to determine if one direction is faster than the other... as they are traveling on the same plane there and back the distance in one direction is equal to the distance in the other and any gain or loss in one direction gets cancelled out in the other in theory. Running the test in reverse (ie start at the shop, deliver milk to home, then return to shop) merely creates an indistinguishable scenario, its essentially just re-ordering the sequence of the same journey.
If however they go straight to the shops, but on the way back they have to stop by grandmas house well then suddenly one direction becomes longer than the other (this is the triangle, A to B is to the shop, B to C is grandma, C to A is home). This breaks up the symmetry problem and whilst you still can't technically measure the speed (since you still dont know when they got to the shops or grandmas) i THINK it would be possible to determine if the direction of travel has any influence on speed by running the test in reverse (ie they stop by grandmas on the way there)

â @KalijahAnderson you also have no clue. A pixel with 16.5 million colors is typically 24 bits, not all pixels are RGB, there is also (eg YCbCr) or even technically 16.5 million colors, there are different shades/luminescence of the same color - then again it depends how you define color, is it a single physical wavelength or blend?
But i digress, this isn't about color representation it's about AI and more specifically the machine-learning kind that is all the buzz at the moment.
None of them, not a single one, can draw a circle in the manner you describe.
How can i be so confident? Because all of them are prediction models. You feed it some bits, it spits out a bunch of probabilities in response - which in turn then typically get translated to audio, visual and text representations or fed as commands to something else, say a piece of machinery.
Even in a scenario where it's hooked up to say adobe photoshop and can draw like a human, you would have to train it to draw a circle - thing is, when you ask it "draw me a circle" whilst 99% of the time you might get a circle, it'll never be 100% as it's a prediction model. If it always did the exact same thing it's not using a prediction model, ala ML/AI - it's just automation.
CGP Grey has a great introduction video about how machine learning actually works from a 30,000ft view, i suggest you watch it before attempting to school others.
Or don't, maybe double downing might work if you connect the doovalacky to the flux capacitor and XOR the 19bit integers to float23 in middle endian (UK timezone)? It'll 0x69 zoom a circle 100% of the time for sure in beautiful 5.1k Dolby resolution.. set volume to 11 if it doesn't work first go! But 9 times out of 10 it'll be 100% đđ
PS ask copilot to draw you a circle đ

 @Xarior i take it you aren't familiar with CAD software, as it does far more than just allow the user to operate it - there are all kinds of both built-in and 3rd party add-ons that do all sorts of automation, calculations, etc. Take for example one in the building industry which can take a 2d building plan and generate an entire 3d walk-through model. The main reason for the comparison was due to the OP's reference to other engineering disciplines.
I'd suggest watching George Hotz most recent appearance on the Lex Friedman podcast as he eloquently and succinctly explains Telsa's approach. The real hurdle for self-driving or autonomous vehicles isn't processing power, input delay or any of that.. it's essentially the "trolley problem".
Just assume for a moment you have a functional system, all the inputs and outputs are working and all you now need to do is come up with the logic or ruleset that the car will follow. What should the car do in an instance where the car is travelling at 60mph around a bend and there are 5 children on the road and it's impossible to stop in time?
Would you program the vehicle to swerve off the road to avoid hitting all 5 children as top priority and potentially kill the occupant(s) of the car, or should it stay on the road to save the occupant(s) as top priority and hit as few children as possible?
Well what if you didn't need to make this tough choice? What if instead you had access to a wealth of data from real life humans driving on the road in all sorts of conditions, including crashes (bad) and avoidance (good), and you make a system that does whatever thousands upon thousands of good drivers would do?
Humans drive by vision, not by lidar or sonar or anything else.
Are you connecting the dots yet? Sound familar?
People who actually understand and know the technology have been working on this for years, it's going to be very difficult for other manufacturers to catchup - even if you started collecting data today, which they are not, you'd still be 1-2 years behind at best.
Open source won't help either, it's why Meta made their LLM open source.. the value is not in the code but the data.
But hey, what would i know eh?
This sound engineer leased a Telsa and ran over a motionless maniquin that barely looks like a child... that's cold hard proof it'll never work right?
Mark my words, this video will not age well.

Do you have any proof showing that Mario himself solicited everything you show here?
My initial impression is there are two potential factors not taken into consideration:
1) an agreed upon definition of what "botted" actually means.
Accusing someone of something which you don't even clearly define yourself opens the door to a difference of opinion and plausible deniability in both directions.
If you walk out of the grocery store having only paid for 9 out of 10 items in your bag is that "shoplifting" - if you weren't aware that 10th item was even in your bag, let alone put it there, that's rather different to intentionally hiding the 10th item inside your bag.
It seems pretty clear to me that Romy is not technical and has more sway than Bob, which is a little odd given the org chart you showed. Combine with this her being rather explicit about no bots early on - insubordination and being "set up" comes to mind before some sort of grifting or fraud scenario.
2) being incorrect or making a mistake should not be equated to deception, lying or grifting etc.
If bringing up the deleted tweet about that person he thought was dead is one of your key pieces of direct evidence against Mario's character and grifting, in my view, seems rather petty, verging on smear or hit piece and had the opposite effect.
I'm by no means saying he's innocent or that you're wrong, but other than your interpretation of a signal group chat there isn't any substance here... feels like this might be more a personal beef and clouding your judgement than a bombshell expose revealing Mario is a grifter.
I don't know enough about him to have an opinion either way yet, but i haven't seen anything yet which suggests he's a bad actor.
If you did a 2 hour interview with him yet the only useful material to build your case was him denying using bots 3 times, do you really have a strong case?
Perhaps ask yourself, what triggered you to make this video?

 @flamingfrancis my comment has little to do with submarines specifically actually, if you knew anything about business and contracts you would understand this.
Engineers from Ford can easily become engineers for GM, likewise mechanics, autoelectricians etc. Skills are adaptable, capable resources can be upskilled or pivot as required. The vital resources in this project are human, not minerals. It's already been stated the propulsion system is being supplied by the US and is a blackbox solution - theres another business term you might mistake for being a literal black box, it's not. Furthermore the munitions will be conventional, so nothing extraordinary there.
The minerals and metal supply to create the submarine will likely be the rather simple and straightforward part of the entire build process tbh, again to use an analogy the supply of minerals and metals to a company like GM in the production of their mid-engine Corvette would be fairly insignificant compared to the skilled resources required to research, design and build them.
Unlike production cars however, military equipment is not one size fits all. The exact fit-out and equipment put into them will very likely be different and as such the design and build of each, whilst having commonalities between them, will be unique for each one with, again, highly likely a unique team assigned for each one.
But what would i know eh? You've read a couple lines that i've typed on the internet and clearly feel you know more than i do. Who am i to argue.

 GangBalls69_Estonia What does the VT in VTEC stand for? You can read right?
The VTEC system uses two (or occasionally three) camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani.[1][2] It is distinctly different from standard VVT (variable valve timing) systems which change only the valve timings and do not change the camshaft profile or valve lift in any way.
The VTEC system provides the engine with valve timing optimized for both low and high RPM operations. In basic form, the single cam lobe and follower/rocker arm of a conventional engine is replaced with a locking multi-part rocker arm and two cam profiles: one optimized for low-RPM stability and fuel efficiency, and the other designed to maximize high-RPM power output. The switching operation between the two cam lobes is controlled by the ECU which takes account of engine oil pressure, engine temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed and throttle position. Using these inputs, the ECU is programmed to switch from the low lift to the high lift cam lobes when certain conditions are met. At the switch point a solenoid is actuated that allows oil pressure from a spool valve to operate a locking pin which binds the high RPM rocker arm to the low RPM ones. From this point on, the valves open and close according to the high-lift profile, which opens the valve further and for a longer time. The switch-over point is variable, between a minimum and maximum point, and is determined by engine load. The switch-down back from high to low RPM cams is set to occur at a lower engine speed than the switch-up (representing a hysteretic cycle) to avoid a situation in which the engine is asked to operate continuously at or around the switch-over point.

 @stusanderson3111 whats with all the hostility?
You dont have to use foul language to be offensive and rude, nor is it constructive to group people into wide sweeping generalizations in an attempt to create an us versus them scenario. Eg "rightists"
You profess to be holier than those you criticize and seem to believe you're epiphany or way of thinking (likely as a result of facing the harsh reality of your own mortality and regrets) is the only valid or correct answer which everyone should now adhere to... but tbh in my eyes that merely shows a lack of wisdom and experience on your part. Ever seen those illustrations showing the typical progression of ones perceived knowledge in a field compared to their actual possessed knowledge over time? Guess where i think you currently sit on that journey.
You like working out, thats cool, well some people don't nor need to - especially if they work a manual labor intensive job but there are many other scenarios where it may be entirely unnecessary or even potentially harmful either physically or mentally. A stay at home parent raising a infant typically isn't just sitting around all day twiddling their thumbs, suggesting they should go workout "because endorphins" rather than watch sports whilst doing choirs or breastfeeding or simply because they enjoy it is ludicrously naive and simple minded. There is far more to health than simply working out or exercise. It's akin to saying people should learn to play an instrument rather than listen to music.
Furthermore you go on and on about wanting to leave the world in a better place, yet you'll then openly admit that you spend 1.5 hours a day intentionally trying to upset people whom you seem to view as the enemy and for what? Simply having differing opinions or values to yourself? Does that seem like a heathly and productive thing to do? It may be therapeutic for you, but it's by no means making the world a better place.
My advice to you is essentially the safety speech given on airlines before takeoff, focus on putting your own oxygen mask on first before attempting to help others with theirs. From where i sit you seem to be quite bitter and rather than dealing with your own unresolved issues are opting to simply lash out at others.
But please, keep on professing how you want to leave the world a better place whilst simultaneously engaging in aggressive and hostile internet fueds with randoms as it's truly a remarkable and amusing thing to see.
It's kinda like watching a toddler throw a tantrum when its well past their bedtime.. they aren't tired or grumpy, no not at all, not in the slightest.. but even they were, which they definitely arent remember, all the kicking and screaming is certainly going to have a positive result and make em less tired and grumpy.. yessiree đ
PS my name is Jeff, does this now alter my words or give them any more or less meaning? If you want to demand people provide you with their name in order to converse with you on the internet, i have a much simpler solution - logoff and go workout

 @stusanderson3111 i don't think anyone is making the case that endorphins are bad, but there is more than one way to release them naturally and the results can vary day to day, person to person. I wouldnt be so quick to judge non-natural ways either, there are many valid scenarios where medication can significantly improve ones life. From what i've observed your workout routine aint making you a happy and calm person, perhaps medication could help improve your situation or walking 10km a day instead of 5km. Heck maybe twerking 20 minutes a day could be a more efficient way to get that endorphin rush.
This isnt about endorphins per say though, it was merely about the justification as to why you feel people should go do a workout rather than watch sports.
It's easy to look through rose colored glasses and think that things were better "back in my day" but truth be told i don't think anyone can adamantly state whether it was better or worse - it's all relative to the person and far too complex to even attempt to reduce a country, society or life itself down to a single metric of being better or worse compared to X years ago. Thats some kindergarten or stoner level of critical thought and reasoning.
Was it better or worse when getting AIDS/HIV was a death sentance, when smoking in pubs n clubs was legal or the alcohol limit for driving was 0.08 not 0.05? Was it better or worse before mobile phones, internet, television, electricity, hot water from a tap or indoor toilets with plumbing? Was it better or worse before women could vote or join the military, gay marriage was legalized or abortion? Was it better or worse when you could only watch the Olympics live on a single analog tv channel or now where you can not only stream it on demand but even choose between the concurrent live events and sometimes even multiple cameras angles for the single event.
One could make a compelling case either way for any one of these things but ultimately it boils down to your own values and personal opinion.
There are indeed things i view as being better say a decade ago but there are also things i view as being much worse. Do i think the best solution is to simply revert to the days of yonder in situations where it was better? Nope, in some situations maybe, but again think its foolish to try condense it down to a choice between now vs then.. theres also option C.. something new ala "the future" which may not even be conceivable today.
Im not sure people in the 60's would of even contemplated the idea of teaching kids to type rather than cursive writing, let alone think it would be a good idea.. but here we are.
What i do know however is that very few people care to listen, let alone are persuaded, by a grumpy person carrying on about how things were better back in their day with a side serving of telling people what to do sprinkled with insults.
This thread reads like a modern day virtual equivalent of a cranky old man in a rocking chair yelling from their porch "get off my lawn ya darn hoodlums!".. sheesh kids these days eh, no respect, amirite? What next, will they come up with some sort condescending catch phrase like "ok boomer" ... kids in the 60's would never do such a thing would they.. such perfect angels that always did as they were told đ€Ł

 @xqm98 you are naive if you think it matters who did what first over 70 years ago. Hamas exists because some Palestinians decided terrorism is a good idea. This mentality that Hamas is a reasonable response is nonsense.
It seems to be an Arab thing, lose a war, form a terrorist group, plot revenge.
You don't see the Taiwanese people forming terrorist organizations to seek revenge and firing rockets into China after they lost their war, do you?
You don't see the Japanese people forming terrorist organizations to seek revenge and firing rockets into Pearl Harbour after they lost that war, do you?
You don't see the German people forming terrorist organization to seek revenge and firing rockets into Israel and Russia after they lost that war, do you?
No siree, it seems to be only Arabs that can't handle losing a war and so here we are.. over 70 years later and young Arab men who weren't even born, nor their parents, when this war took place are using it to justify their vindictive terrorism.
Wonderful people, just like you.

 @cplcabs "The Iraq invasion was part of the Bush administration's broader war on terror, launched in response to the September 11 attacks. In October 2002, the US Congress passed a resolution granting Bush the authority to use military force against Iraq.

Are you even a real pom?

Air travel underwent significant changes following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Here are some of the key changes:
Stricter Security Screening: Security measures at airports were significantly tightened. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was established to oversee airport security, leading to more thorough screenings, including removing shoes, belts, and jackets, as well as separate screenings for laptops and liquids2.
Reinforced Cockpit Doors: Cockpit doors were reinforced to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that pilots could maintain control of the aircraft.
Air Marshal Program Expansion: The presence of air marshals on flights increased, especially on international routes and high-risk domestic flights.
Creation of the TSA: The TSA replaced private security companies and introduced new rules, procedures, and technologies to improve safety.
Passenger Experience Changes: Passengers experienced longer wait times due to increased security measures, and loved ones could no longer greet or bid farewell at the gate.
Impact on Airline Industry: The airline industry faced significant financial losses, and it took years for passenger traffic to recover.
These changes were implemented to enhance security and prevent similar attacks in the future.

Uhm, the FBI have confirmed the subpoena, laptop and repair shop are real.
The China related emails have been verified as authentic by 2 people on the original thread, one already in prison, and that "big guy" refers to Joe.
People dont fall asleep with a crack pipe in their mouth like that, it aint photoshopped, that picture was purposefully taken by someone else without consent for leverage/insurance/blackmail.
The picture itself isn't incriminating or evidence of corruption, but the fact it exists and has not been denied, is more concerning than whether it was hacked, recovered, actually hunter's laptop, was hunter who dropped it off etc.
This is just 1 picture of many and from the first day dump - the drip release is intentional and absolutely is a smear/politically motivated. That doesn't mean the data is not legit or authentic - yes its strategic, even bordering on entrapment, as it does indeed resemble 2016 and they're taking no chances this time - those 30,000 emails didnt just get scrubbed by accident or were only about her daughters wedding.
It truly is amazing just how much effort is being put into trying to squash and discredit this - the hard drive warranty / manufacturer date fiasco was confirmation bias at its finest.
There is ample verification and evidence out there at this point to say its more likely all real than fake - only the naive and corrupt are still peddling that its unverified and/or Russian disinformation. Cant believe they even considered trying that again..
The simplest question to cut to the truth is where is Hunter?

 @CovidConQuitTheCensorship IT or sometimes referred to as ICT is most certainly an industry, a very large one at that so i'm surprised you haven't heard of it.
I see now just how unknowledgeable you are and so i can understand why you lash our and get angry at people when they say something which confuses you, it's not an admirable trait but i understand why you do what you do now. I'll try break this down for you in really simple terms since it appears you lack quite a lot of common knowledge which most people have learnt by their teenage years, my bad for assuming your intelligence was higher than it may be. Sorry buddy!
So, in cities there are these things called buildings (skyscrapers is a slang name for the really tall ones) and inside these buildings is what is called "office space" (you might be familiar with the famous TV series which derives its name from this very thing). Office space is generally split up in sections or rooms and consists mostly of desks, chairs and the like - think of it like a school and classrooms, there's even computers, whiteboards and posters in a lot of office space too just like a classroom!
So what is office space used for you might be wondering, if it's just like a classroom shouldn't it be called class space or something? Well no, you see most adult people have these things called jobs and office space is where a lot of these people perform their day-to-day work duties for these jobs.
Take for example someone who works as a graphic artist, programmer or network engineer. Well those are some examples of jobs in the ICT industry and some of those people perform these jobs in these buildings with office space.
Glad i could help, however i prefer to converse with people where i don't have to be explaining the basics in such excruciating detail. I trust this isn't the first time someone has had to have such a conversation with you before walking away and thus you know, here is where we part ways.
All the best mate!

 @afieldingaf riddle me this, do you know how old McGowan is and how long he has lived in WA? Furthermore do you know what suburb he lives in and the reputation it has locally, compared to say peppermint grove or secret harbour where he could easily move to if he wanted? You say i have no clue but how much of a clue do you have by comparison?
To be honest i don't really care much for politics, i knew very little about him before the pandemic, but i find it rather amusing when someone like yourself tries to bring up where he was born as some sort of dig against him.
What's even funnier is someone else made this type of comment months ago about McGowan so i looked into it and pissed myself laughing then like i am now. I can't be bothered looking up the EXACT numbers again but from very rough memory he is 50something years old and has lived in WA for the past 30+ years - thats more than half his life!
Now by comparison imagine me wasting my time online moaning about the premier of TAS. I don't know the persons NAME let alone where he/she was BORN or where they LIVE as it doesn't concern me at all nor do i think it has anything to do with whether they would be a good leader for that state or not. I don't know the lifestyle or culture of TAS and i wouldn't dream of trying to tell a Tasmanian what's best for their state.
I can sort of understand why media personalities like Kenny might bring it up, they'll use anything to try and form a narrative, but an average citizen who doesn't live in the state nor have any vested interest in living there? It makes no sense whatsoever and just reveals that either
1) you just parrot talking points fed to you by others to make yourself seem more knowledgeable than you are
OR
2) you're fully aware if the facts and disingenuously representing them for political smearing purposes
I'm leaning towards #1 for you as if you were closely following what's happening over here in WA you'd know that not only will the bubble end Feb 5, there was talk by McGowan of bringing that forward (as in it ending sooner) had the French backpacker outbreak already spread too far through the community.
Maybe the politician in your state has flipped n flopped on their decisions and been unclear with there messaging to the public causing you to think they've all done it through this pandemic, but McGowan hasn't. He's been direct and clear with his intentions and decisions, and again i don't agree with all of them, but it's been rather good to be able to simply tune into the press conferences to get accurate and clear information straight from the horses mouth rather than having to decrypt and sort through the lies and misrepresentations that seems to be occurring elsewhere in the country and even worse the world.
You can label us West Aussies as being brainwashed and in a cult who fear the outside world but nothing could be further from the truth, it's been a privilege to have such a high quality of life the last 18 months and hence why people are/were in no rush to get vaxed and the bubble to end.. but it wasn't out of fear or as if anyone thought it was forever. It's merely a case of slow n steady, learn from others mistakes etc.
Happy new year mate, hope you have a good 2022 where ever you are.

It all started in australia after a troll viral facebook post saying 40% of aussie TP was imported from China, a few gullible people panic bought clearing out shelves at a couple stores. Pictures of this then gave the troll post some merit and caused more people to the panic buy, the media did a story on the shortages (but didnt mention the 40% thing is BS, it was pitched as a doomsday prep thing for covid-19) and it snowballed out of contol nationewide from there.
What exacerbated the situation is that TP is a bulky item and whilst nearly every store had new stock everyday it was all sold 30 minutes after opening - theres only so much they could have delivered each day and people were buying ludicrous amounts (multipke trollies worth)
Wouldnt gave gotten so bad if mainstreaming media cared mored about facts and setting the record straight rather than clicks and ratings. Or if people werent so gullible.
Then other (more sensible) items start sufferifng.. pasta, canned goods, long life milk, sugar, water etc.. causing more media stories.. more panic blah blah. Restrictions on these items per customer had to be implemented because it was impacting people, particularly elderly, low income/unemployed, single parents etc. Wasnt until a further 3 days after restrictions were in place until one news station finally chose to do a tear jerking segement on how the panic buying was impacting these people and that people shouldnt go overboard stocking up - this is after a week of daily segments about it drumming up more panic and fear wth footage of fights etc.
Didnt expect it to spread to US but i guess gullible people and sensationalized news stories is fairly universal in most western countries.

 @Mordenperson ah sweet child, google is NOT your friend.
It has lead you down a path where you believe what we call the "internet" today was created in the 1960's.
I think we can all agree that from a rudimentary perspective, a protocol is needed in order for communication to occur on a network. For the internet, i think we can all agree that IP would be that protocol.
With this in mind here is another snippet to help you understand how foolish you look making the claim the internet was "created" in the 1960's by "network engineer"
This is all i have time for today, i can continue tomorrow if you would like.. personally i'd suggest this would be a good time for you to also call it quits, but why would you take my advice eh? What would i know? You've got google!!

In May 1974, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) published a paper entitled "A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication".[4] The paper's authors, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, described an internetworking protocol for sharing resources using packet switching among network nodes. A central control component of this model was the "Transmission Control Program" that incorporated both connection-oriented links and datagram services between hosts. The monolithic Transmission Control Program was later divided into a modular architecture consisting of the Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol at the transport layer and the Internet Protocol at the internet layer. The model became known as the Department of Defense (DoD) Internet Model and Internet protocol suite, and informally as TCP/IP.
IP versions 1 to 3 were experimental versions, designed between 1973 and 1978.[5] The following Internet Experiment Note (IEN) documents describe version 3 of the Internet Protocol, prior to the modern version of IPv4:

 @totally_not_a_bot cool story bro, just a few questions:
1) what year was this declassified document written exactly?
2) what was in this declassified document, just give us 1 or 2 examples of compelling evidence, maybe ask your father to help - alternatively if you "pulled it up" why not just share where you "pulled it up" from so we can all see the declassified document you found so easily. Doesn't need to be a link, just describe how we can find it too eg search phrase and site name.
3) what role or title did your father have exactly when he was doing "network analysis" as that sounds like an analytics role which are typically based around mathematics, accounting, etc.
4) what is "computer data" exactly? Is it digital or analogue? How is it different from say encrypted communication channels for voice or satellite television signals? How does one determine and classify it into the "computer" bucket?
And now for the most important question of all:
5) what does any of what you said have to do with the topic of "network engineer" and what have you proven exactly? I'm not even convinced you have a father in your life let alone talked to him from the information you provided. Did you honestly think i'd read this and go, welp, i guess there were "fluffy unicorns" in 1980 because someone on the internet asked his dad who said yes? Seriously?!
As i've already clearly stated, there was indeed people who built computer systems, phone networks, data storage and so forth but none, and i literally mean none, of them would have had the official title of "network engineer" in the 60's, 70's or 80's. That's just not how things were back then, the fascination with job title is a recent development in society.
I pulled up a document on creative writing and your comment, i showed it to my hairdresser's boyfriend's sister (she is an author who writes screenplays for MGM) and she said "yep thats exactly the same type of stuff i do" so congratulations on becoming an author dude! You've made it!!
Please provide a source or specifics in future if you wish to be taken seriously.
Act like a child, get treated like a child but thanks for playing, this was fun! Sincerely, i had a blast writing it, 10/10 would do again đ

 @coloradoing9172 your account is one year old and you have made a total of 2 comments on this channel, both of them to myself.. awww if i didn't know any better i'd say you almost might have a crush on me.
My guess is you're a sock puppet account or sibling/friend/acquaintance of someone else in this thread and got dragged into this, you know how you can make the notifications stop.. remove your 2 comments and problem solved.
At least the others attacking me had accounts in the realm of 11 to 17 years old and had commented on this channel prior so they actually took a risk, albeit a very tiny one, but as i'm sure you can appreciate being a person who uses the phrase "goalpost shifting" this is not an insignificant detail. Taking into consideration that many of them have displayed personality traits which suggest they place higher importance on how others perceive them rather than their own understanding or knowledge, it makes the stakes higher - tarnishing an account you've had for 10+ years on a channel you regularly read/write comments on actually has weight.
You on the other hand have really no skin in the game and so making flippant comments or throwing things at the wall to see what sticks is a low cost / high reward scenario - you can simply disappear as quickly as you arrived here.
With this in mind i'm going to tackle you differently - getting into the weeds on the technical side won't actually bear any fruit, your goal is not proving your existing knowledge but rather trying to disprove what someone else has said (namely me).
What you've cut'n'pasted might seem to you like a compelling argument, i mean look at all those acronyms, you must be legit and have a deep understanding about the history right?
Well the trap with the technique of working backwards on something like this, ie you're seeking for a predetermined answer irrespective of whether it's accurate or not, is that you fall victim to confirmation bias.
You will hunt for some piece of information or data which fits the answer you want and upon finding it, you've met the objective or goal and use it in haste.
This leads to some rather funny outcomes sometimes as often the lack of context and awareness how things evolve over time can cause ppl to apply current terminology to the past.
Take for example the term "influencer" - what this equates to in 2023 is radically different to 1993. It's not that one or the other is correct vs wrong, but rather you can't retrofit the modern meaning to the past. You'll be able to find all sorts of "evidence" that there was indeed influencers in 1993, that did indeed influence other people - even so far as to what ppl might buy, what is populat, trends etc. I bet you'll find all sort of references or metrics to support the claim that "influencers" did exist and were a thing in 1993. As this is true, even today there are ppl who fit the 1993 terminology but that doesn't equate in reverse.
More examples - firewall, packets, desktop, administrator, leech, shopping cart, cookies ... and so forth.
The biggest telltale sign that you're here for disingenuous and combative purposes, don't have anything of value to add or actually care about the subject matter is right at the start of your reply.
You're getting sick of this windbag in your notifications feed.
I love you too bae, so much so i've given you a solution to the problem causing you so much frustration.
Seems like a no-brainer for an account that is one year old with 2 comments on this channel, unless of course your real life reputation will take a hit... what a dilemma eh?
Sounds like an awful predicament to have put yourself in. But what would i know, i clearly have no clue. And you've got google! The trusty side kick that knows everything!!

 @rootbox6466 the roadster was NOT a concept prior to Elon - the Telsa company was prior to him, the idea of making electric vehicles was prior to him.. But the creation and design of the actual roadster was Elon. I see you convienently left out that portion of the wiki page you pasted, i wonder why.
As ive already stated, coming up with an idea is fairly worthless.. Do you think the two initial founders of Tesla where the only ones in the world to think up the idea of creating an electric vehicle? Of course not!
If all they required was money in order to create the worlds first road legal electric car, why bring Elon into the fold? Why not just find a silent investor and get it done?
If it was your pet project that you felt you could handle all by yourself, would you bring on and investor and then appoint them to design and create your first product? More to the point if said investor had no value or skills other than their huge wallet, like you seem to suggest, then do you really think that investor would be able to actually see the design and creation of your pet project through to completion?
Hate on Elon all you want, but there are few people in the entire world who could achieve what Elon has, with or without bucket loads of cash.. And with or without stealing other peoples ideas etc.
I think most of Elon's critics are simply enaging in tall poppy syndrome.
Elon could have retired decades ago, but he just keeps going from strength to strength and that annoys you.. doesnt it?

He provided no scientific evidence to back up his claims.
Example one was about trauma and venting negative emotions, he then says it's the complete opposite of this. That's not evidence or scientific.
Example two was a story about him as a kid saying he was going to be a doctor. He now goes by the name Dr K. That's anecdote which is considered evidence i guess, but it's not scientific evidence.
Example three is a quote by Frued, that language and action are tied together. They come from the same "energy" pool. Hence his simplified theory is that consuming this "energy" by talking, you have less "energy" for doing. Again, this is not scientific evidence it's some spiritual philosophy.
In summary, he is attempting to infer that extraverts talk more but do less, whereas introverts talk less but do more.
Not seeing the connection between extravert/introvert and doers/talkers.
People who can do it, do it
People who cant do it, teach others who can
Teaching is an important task for society, don't get me wrong, but so is mentoring and that hinges on talking about doing rather than actually doing.
Where is the science and evidence?! Still have nfi what Mantra is other than some monk thing and maybe i've been pronouncing it wrong my entire life đ
I wish that introvert would shut the heck up... said no one ever.

 @schoolofdank5736 do you know what projection is?
If you feel like what i've said is a personal attack, rather than some constructive criticism then you must not get out much. In fact, if you think what i just said then is a personal attack and that then justifies what you've said to me in response, i'd even go so far as to say you've got mental problems - hence why i asked medication.
You see, i began by making reference to the apparent lack of knowledge about Owens recent employment changes and slumping to her in with certain people - now if you were aware of this, you should have taken this as constructive criticism as
A) two of the 3 people work for the very company that very recently fired her
B) she was fired over doing the very opposite of what you do accused her of doing (ie not towing the company line and being very critical of ppl parroting republican narratives etc)
C) would have learnt some pertinent information about Owens and realized my remark wasn't personal - this isn't a good look
Now on the flipside we can go with option B, which is that you ARE aware of Owens recent employment changes but that would then equate to you purposefully saying false statements about Owens. It should also be clear that this is actually criticism of your actions - saying dishonest things and being called out on it isn't personal. It's criticism about what you said and your actions.
Now maybe there is a 3rd option, something i haven't considered which if known, would explain how the things you've said is a good look for you, that i'm wrong when i said it's either option a or b which are both not a good look... but if there was you wouldn't have lashed out with something about Burger King and other petty retorts would you?
I've given you plenty of good advice, it's up to you if you want to take it or not. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink afterall...
Try not being so sensitive and judgemental, and it might be worth speaking to a medical doctor. What you're doing is unhealthy and not the way an adult should be dealing with whatever it is you're going through in real life. At the very least you should probably try to limit yourself to just one reply, it's a little unhinged firing off so many at one time. Again, not personal this is a behavioural issue that applies to anyone.
All the best and take care mate!
PS projection, re-read your own words

 @purebloodbabyfuhrer785 whats the letter i got to do with this? It was an L not an I. What you did is instead of pressing the A key you hit shift which then turned the H to a capital. Ala fat finger typo, hence it came out as "BlH" rather than "Blah"
Also who is accusing you of being a leftie? You seem very hostile and combative over completely unrelated topics. This has absolutely nothing to do with politics, cancel culture or bullying into submission. I too think all that stuff is pathetic. You really must not socialize very often or make many friends if this is how you behave in the real world.
Did it ever cross your mind that a company can do something reprehensible and merely get a bad image and reputation in the eyes of the public. Not everything has to be turned into some sort of political fued.
To use an analogy, lets just say a business had an excess supply of food after a public function and was in the process of throwing it all away. A mother with a baby in her arms walks over and asks if she could take some cake home with her and the manager said "no, this is our food, we paid for it and we will do what we want with it.. we're throwing it all away now get lost". The manager isnt wrong, but ethically and morally thats what most decent people would consider a d1ck move. They have an opportunity to do something nice, which wouldnt impact nor cost them anything to allow her to take some cake home before it gets thrown out.. but instead they choose the cold hearted and callous option.
That's whats going on here. Have you taken a look at the golf club? If you havent checkout their website, look at the course and also checkout their member rules. This isnt some average golf club, this is a very affluet and posh club which requires people to wear not just white shoes but white socks and even how high up the ankle they can be.
Furthermore, this wasnt something they refused from the very begining. There is plans and even an artistic representation of what was being proposed and at the 11th hour the club suddenly decided.. nah.. you get some rocks instead.
This is purely about optics and common decency. Both the club and yourself are despicable and should be ashamed and refusing to allow the mother with a baby to take some cake home.
You dont have to change your opinion, nor does the club.. but guess what.. people like me are also free to voice their disgust and disapproval of the club (and people like you) and thats whats happening.
Im not for seizing of land or punishing the club, they can do what they what.. all that is at stake is their image and reputation.. much like yourself by not even having the spine to admit when you've made a typo.
I think your a horrible person and you cant change my mind either.
I wish you well for the future mate, i suspect someone with your attitude and rudeness gets shown the same level of empathy and respect that you give. As the saying goes.. what goes around comes around.

 @purebloodbabyfuhrer785 whilst it may appear that i know it all i don't, i think the difference between you and i, is that i like to actually investigate a matter before i form an opinion and stubborn viewpoint. In my experience it's generally the wise thing to do, often i find things are not always as they appear.. especially with todays media.
Cemetery's are where bodies are buried, memorials are for remembrance and generally placed in an appropriate location for whatever is being memorialized. We have ANZAC memorials all around the country for example, it would make no sense to tell people to "go to a cemetery" to pay their respects and honor the fallen soldiers of war.
My advice to you is to take a chill pill, try see things from another point of view and actually do some research if your going to adopt a pig headed stance - it could save you from further embarrassment in future. Or not. What would i know hey?
As you say, i couldnt possibly deduce the most likely reason that you typed "BlH" instead of "Blah" even though i laid it out step by step on how it was just a simple typo in such a way that other people could see it as clear as i can, but hey maybe anyone reading this will be convinced by your vague and non-logical explanation of how it happened rather than my straightforward and simple explanation.
I can even point out that if you look above ive made many typos and misplaced words. Im not perfect nor do i claim to be. I can admit when i mess up or make a mistake.
It's what mature and respectable people do. The golf club's board still has an opportunity to do likewise, they could save their image and regain respect by saying they've taken peoples comments onboard, realize they've made a poor decision and they'll work with the father on coming up with something that is beneficial to both the club and the father. No bullying into submission, no seizing of land, just as the OP stated.. they can step up and do what most caring human beings would call "the right thing"
Alas if they are anything like you i dont have high hopes they will change course, maybe it will impact them in the long run, maybe it won't.. but at the very least they will never be able to undo what has now been published about them on the internet and thats enough for me.
The club has a long history and prides itself on it, this will be a stain on their reputation forevermore... the best they can do now is make amends.

 @stuartread135 what's hilarious is your lack of self-awareness, not the situation.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but damn that's an awful lot of putting words in my mouth and a severe case of whataboutism you seem to be suffering.
Have you ever played a round of golf, like anywhere not even specifically at this course, just a full 18 holes somewhere? Now if you have, do you really believe that setting aside a puny 3m x 15m space (barely the size of a small bedroom) between the rough and road - which is unlikely to even be easily visible from the fairway, let alone impact play, is just too big of an ask? I mean with all of that land, allocating 3x15 space is just not discreet enough.
I could go on about your poor form trying to victim blame the family, but tbh it's yet another case of actions speak louder than words. The family have gone on the record with their side of the story, why haven't the directors of the club made a formal statement if what you say is true - ala put it in writing that an offer of X was presented to the family and they declined?
Saying something is a fact don't make it so bud.

 @stuartread135 Aww you were doing so well but it seems the bitterness that has infected your heart is terminal. I'm so sorry, but with hard work and effort you should still be able to live a long life.
It's a shame that you, and the club as a whole, think that a memorial is an unsightly blight on your wonderful club's reputation, a constant reminder of a tragedy that you want to forget and distance yourself from... the irony is that most normal human beings have a positive view of memorials and they generally garner good will with society.
Unfortunately not everyone is a normal human being though, there are some who possess an abrasive and obnoxious attitude - which is rather common in wealthy families, particularly children of wealthy parents who have never faced adversity - whom are unable to relate or empathize with their fellow normal human beings. They typically have little tolerance for anything which may cause them discomfort or tarnish their impeccable image. Those are the type of people who would view such a memorial not for what it is, or why it even exists, but rather how will it impact their comfort and image. They'd definitely never give the greenlight for such things, trust me bro i got an inside source. You see when these kind of people walk down the street and see a pretty garden with a plaque or statue they think "what the heck is this ghastly thing of no value or function doing here" and that makes them feel bad inside. Very bad. Not you though, you are the most caring and tolerant person i have ever met.. you are a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dark and cruel world.. where others resort to name calling and petty insults when they strongly disagree with someone, you don't.. no not you, you're bigger than that.. able to keep your cool and give such eloquent responses. You're the best! You keep doing you boo! You're a winner even if no one else can see it, they clearly just aren't as smart as you.

 @stuartread135 oh yes, it's very obvious that you have my undivided attention and i'm hanging on every word.
A funny thing happened the other day.. i was walking down this street right and i saw this really nice gazebo surrounded by all these pretty flowers. There was a small path that led from the road to the gazebo and there was something in the middle of it.. like there was seats around the inner side and this weird column thing in the centre. Curious i decided to walk down the short path and check it out. When i got closer inside i could see the column thing inside the gazebo was this wonderfully sculptured stone with a plaque on top with something inscribed on it. I stepped closer to take a look at what it had written on it which was:
Proudly provided and donated by
Oaklamb Golf Club
In loving memory of Tracy, Tom and Cinderella.
And underneath each name was like a hand drawn portrait engraved in the stone which i assume must of been of these three people. I'm not exactly sure what happened or who these people were but i will say the gazebo and flowers was a really nice display and so i decided to sit down for a few minutes.. in the distance i could hear people playing golf, in the other direction childrens laughter and screams while playing. The weather that day was wonderful and when i got up to leave i felt a sense of calm and tranquility. I enjoyed the day so much that i thought, what a wonderful thing Oaklambs Golf Club to provide to the family and community, so i looked into the club a bit more. After doing a bit of googling it turns out i was not alone, i saw thousands and thousands of other people had left kind and thankful messages on the club's google reviews and facebook pages about the gazebo and how nice it was. Some of the people even joined the club as a result of it - one lady doesnt even live in the state but visits every year and makes a large donation to the club and family. You see, it turns out there was this horrific accident at that very location and those names were children that were killed. I was amazed at just how much such a small gesture turned such an awful thing into a positive for that community.
I mean, can you imagine if when i googled the golf club i found out that the gazebo had only been placed there after years of litigation and resistance from the club? Boy oh boy you should have seen the nasty things people wrote on their facebook page after one of the club members went on national tv to try and explain that the club owes the family nothing, and the members just want to play golf peacefully and wish this nightmare would stop.
Thankfully though, the Oaklambs Golf Club isn't run by a bunch of heartless elites.. shame the same can't be said about Oatland Golf Club. Their members were too concerned about the stigma of such a memorial and gave the family nothing for 3 years then finally, after their reputation was on the rungs they gave them a couple rocks under a few trees you can barely see from the road.

 @stuartread135 Oh i forgot to mention the other interesting thing i discovered during my research, turns out there is so much more to the Oaklamb story.
You see, the club had been planning this really nice club house renovation and low n behold can you believe that accident occurred right where the new club house was going to be? I know what are the chances of that right, like a zillion to one?
Weirdly the only reason they hadnt already started construction is the club was having trouble getting all the necessary fundings and approvals.. it was taking them much longer and costing much more than originally thought. When the accident occurred the clubs board was absolutely gut wrenched, if it wasn't bad enough already now they had to deal with this fairly tricky situation.. you see the father wanted a memorial but the club had invested so much into the new club house it just wasnt feasible to abandon those plans, not without it hurting the bottom line quite considerably.. they knew the members wouldnt take it well if there was yet another roadblock to the renovations that had taken way too long and cost way too much already.
Thankfully though, Oaklambs directors remembered one of their members ran a PR firm and so they reached out to her for help. At first, the board were very reluctant and disagreed with the PR firms advice, they thought they knew better but they took a chance and gave them 4 weeks to work their magic - they only did this after the PR firm offered their services for free due to the circumstances surrounding this, it wasnt about money after all.. it was about doing what was right, no matter the cost.
Well, it seems that was the best decision they ever made as in those 4 short weeks not only did the PR firm manage to improve the clubs reputation and standing within the community, they also managed to raise nearly a million dollars from the public towards the memorial and clubhouse. More amazingly, through careful and caring negotiations between the club and family they managed to not only strike a deal placing the memorial waaay off to the side of the accident location, so the clubhouse could still be built at its intended location, but they even got the council onboard to altering one of the roads and walkways which solved some of the difficulty they were having in terms of approvals and costs with the club house renovations!
Of course this isn't really much of a surprise to the general public, most people return kindness with kindness afterall.. they saw the memorial like they would a neighborhood park, a nice recreational place for the community to enjoy... and yes unfortunately there is a minority who are overly aggressive and argumentative, especially when they have the anonymity of the internet shielding them, there was a few of them in the club even who thought if they hurled insults at people and started bringing up unrelated political talking points it would somehow change people perceptions and make them understand why the club is right and the public are wrong... but the good news is the PR firm knew this would be a risk and sent out a memo to all club members reminding them that if people wished to identify as being a member of the club, that they should conduct themselves in a professional a d polite manner... failure to do so not only would not only be bad optics for the club but the actual member themselves. They drafted up some recommended examples and ways that members could express the clubs position on many of the aspects of the memorial and club house in a constructive manner. This was particularly helpful for certain club members with narcissistic and quick tempered personalities that often didnt realize the negative image they were causing the club by being a raving lunatic on the internet.
Shame about Oatland Golf Club though, i guess they weren't lucky enough to have decent kind hearted members to help them through such a challenging time.
I guess the saying is true, you get what you give in life.

 @stuartread135 i guess you didnt hear about it? The huge playground at Oaklambs?
Yeah initially the club simply allocated a 3x5m space for the family to use how they please, but when they saw the design concept the family came up with boy oh boy were they not happy.
You see the club just expected they'd have some flowers and maybe a bench, something they could tuck away behind some trees, so much so, people wouldnt even know it was there!
But the family had other plans, they managed to fit an entire chapel into that space and made the whole area stand out like a sore thumb.. needless to say the club were having none of that.. they didnt want people coming there every week to pay their respects, i mean who wants something really depressing like a chapel between the rough and road when you're hooning around in ya golf cart, the wind in your hair, a mid-strength beer in one hand and the wheel in the other.
The club were so outraged they ceased all dialogue with the family, but just before doing so they gave them an ultimatum - the family can have 3 rocks (chosen by the club) or nothing. The family tried to meet with the directors to discuss the abrupt change in attitude but to no avail. The family were so confused why the club suddenly werent returning their calls anymore and didn't know what to do. I mean, who do you turn to in times like this.. a David vs Goliath scenario, they are just a young couple and no match for the club's powerful and wealthy tycoons.. they were about to reach out to the media as a last resort when they remembered, what about that PR lady?
When they reached out to her she was horrified at what she heard as she knew where this might lead and it was time for damage control. It was tricky at first as the club was still very upset, it was there land and reputation at stake after all and it was like the family were only thinking about themselves.
This is where the fundraising idea came in. In a cunning plan the PR firm pitched an idea.. what if they started a campaign to build a whole playground in honor of the children.. it'd use more land and cost more of course, its a golf course so there was ample land but the club wasn't just going to just give it away for free.. plus they werent sure if the public would even like the idea. So they created a campaign to raise money, that way they could gauge whether it had public support and fund it at the same time.. if enough money and people were onboard it'd go ahead and if not, well they tried and it just wasnt meant to be.
The directors were very apprehensive about this, they had grave concerns nobody wanted a playground and it would fail miserably.. they were so thoughtful they didnt want the family to be heartbroken .. even if the outcome of no playground or memorial was ultimately the club wanted.
Well as you might have figured the campaign went well, a nice but modest playground was built and now local children have a plave to play and the family have something even better to honor the children.
Really the key in all of this was the PR lady, something Oaklamb's admit they should have enlisted the help from much sooner, once the PR firm assigned a spokesperson to handle media appearances and the like it was all smooth sailing.. after all that's their job.. public relations.
We can dream that Oatlands will eventually do the same, but not all dreams come true.. but then again, maybe the bad image and reputation is what Oatlands deserve, i don't understand how any competent board would let a situation like this deteriorate so far it became a PR nightmare.. what on earth were they thinking.. but then again i'm not a cold, heartless person so perhaps that's why it doesn't make much sense to me.. either that or it's something in the water.
Yeah that must be it, the water! Definitely not a reflection of the board being heartless and ruthless or anything, how could anyone think that of such an affluent golf club? Especially one which refuses to speak with the family, media or even make a public statement about it... they're not hiding or anything.. it's out of respect for the family of course! They've got so much respect they've done nothing for 6 months! What ballers they are bro!

 @stuartread135 You seem very hostile and combative over the land of some golf club, you must really like shrubs or something. I get it, not everyone sees shrubs like you do, its not weird, it's love, raw emotionally uncontrollable passion, like between two humans, but one of those humans is a shrub.
Sadly i lack the vision of shrub utopia where the shrubs thoughts and feelings are taken into consideration. I just see a club with a shrub fetish that couldn't bare for some of that shrub to become a ceremonial garden. Who feeds a baby cake, that would be very inappropriate, have we considered that perspective in this shrub dilemma? It tastes like a cut n paste sandwich, not to be confused with a sand witch, the evilest kind.
To use an analogy, lets just say a business had an excess supply of food after a public function and was in the process of throwing it all away. A mother with a baby in her arms walks over and asks if she could take some cake home with her and the manager said "no, this is our food, we paid for it and we will do what we want with it.. we're throwing it all away now get lost". The manager isnt wrong, but ethically and morally thats what most decent people would consider a d1ck move.

 @stuartread135 it's a wondrous forest that many can see, but alas there are some who cannot see past the shrubs and see the forest ftom the trees. Not you though, nothing slips past your keen eye and attention to detail. Here i was thinking am i being too sneaky? i mean i was wearing my sneakers but do they really improve ones sneak abilities?
It's a shame that you, and the club as a whole, think that a memorial is an unsightly blight on your wonderful club's reputation, a constant reminder of a tragedy that you want to forget and distance yourself from... the irony is that most normal human beings have a positive view of memorials and they generally garner good will with society.

 @stuartread135 well ive been deep in thought about those rocks, i mean sure a couple rocks may seem like an insincere gesture and rather lackluster for such a high class club.. but i digress.. they agreed to rocks so we should get 3 super amazing rocks right?
Let's start with a no brainer, a life size statue of Dwayne Johnson.. aka The Rock.. now maybe you're more of a vin diesel fan, i get it, who doesn't like a bit of fast n furious.. but this is about rocks not cars remember
Next is a little more controversial, a100% accurate small scale Uluru aka Ayers Rock.. since ownership of land is very important to you this could be tricky as technically, that golf club is sitting on indigenous land, i know i know - you might be thinking well the aboriginals weren't really making use of this land, surely no one will mind a golf course here... ahh but apparently thats wrong think according to club members.
The third one though has to be reaaaally special though, so that one is harder.. like it need to be so hard.. how hard you ask....well at a minimum i'd say.. rock solid!
It's all good n well to have a vent about something that displeases you, but you should probably dial back the insults and accusations if you want to be taken seriously. For example throwing around comments about those who disagree with your narrative being influenced by biased by media and politics doesn't make your case any stronger - from where i sit it looks like a classic case of pot/kettle tbh, all the things you seem to accuse others of doing is far more a reflection upon yourself and your mindset than others.
The irony is your inability to see this in yourself (or maybe stubbornness to admit) and hence the hilarity ensues with each and every response digging a deeper and deeper hole.
Now about those facts, i'm still waiting on a source/link for your claim that the family specifically chose "nothing", until you have such a thing we're done here.. i'm not going to get into a "he said she said" argument based on speculation and opinion but nice try.. may you have better luck with someone else more gullible :)

Yeah initially the hotel simply allocated a 3x5m space for the family to use how they please, but when they saw the design concept the family came up with boy oh boy were they impressed.
You see the hotel just expected they'd have a couple rocks, something they could tuck away behind some trees, so much so, people wouldnt even know it was there!
But the family had other plans, they managed to fit an entire table, benches, flowers, chandelier and even a waterfall into that space but there was a problem.. the pricetag.. you see it was well over the allocated budget the hotel could afford. This was charity afterall so the hotel is essentially just giving away money.. and money doesn't grow on shrubs you know?
Then the hotel remembered about the PR firm they hired and reached out to them for advice.
When they reached out to them, the firm reassured the hotel they knew exactly how to handle this situation to arrive at a positive outcome for all.
This is where the fundraising idea came in. In a cunning plan the PR firm pitched an idea.. what if they started a campaign to build a whole playground in honor of the child.. it'd use more land and cost more of course, plus the hotel was a little weary of hotels and bars that had a childrens playground and what approvals and permits would be necessary, plus they werent even sure if the public would even like the idea. So they created a campaign to raise money, that way they could gauge whether it had public support and fund it at the same time.. if enough money and people were onboard it'd go ahead and if not, well they tried and it just wasnt meant to be.
The directors were very apprehensive about this, they had grave concerns nobody wanted a playground and it would fail miserably.. they were so thoughtful they didnt want the family to be heartbroken .. even if the outcome of no playground or memorial was ultimately the hotel wanted.
Well as you might have figured the campaign went well, a nice but modest playground was built and now local children have a place to play and the family have something even better to honor the child.
Really the key in all of this was the PR firm, something Glebes admit they should have enlisted the help from much sooner, once the PR firm assigned a spokesperson to handle media appearances and the like it was all smooth sailing.. after all that's their job.. public relations.
We can dream that Oatlands will eventually do the same, but not all dreams come true.. but then again, maybe the bad image and reputation is what Oatlands deserve, i don't understand how any competent board would let a situation like this deteriorate so far it became a PR nightmare.. what on earth were they thinking.. but then again i'm not a cold, heartless person so perhaps that's why it doesn't make much sense to me.. either that or it's something in the water.
Yeah that must be it, the water! Definitely not a reflection of the board being heartless and ruthless or anything, how could anyone think that of such an affluent golf club? Especially one which refuses to speak with the family, media or even make a public statement about it... they're not hiding or anything.. it's out of respect for the family of course! They've got so much respect they've done nothing for 6 months! What ballers they are bro!

 @AdventuresofSirDon Since you seemed to misunderstand my remarks, which wasn't about your conduct in the classroom or intended as some sort of bick measuring contest for who is more qualified to teach.. maybe you'll understand AI's words better than my own (which albeit aren't great, i hated english as a subject haha)
----
When a teacher uses their status to flex in an online argument to gain more credit or authority, it can raise several ethical concerns:
Credibility and Bias: While a teacherâs expertise can lend credibility to their arguments, using their status as a flex might come across as biased or self-serving. It can undermine the objectivity of their argument and make it seem like they are relying on their position rather than the strength of their reasoning1.
Professional Boundaries: Teachers are expected to maintain professional boundaries, even in online interactions. Using their status to assert dominance in an argument can blur these boundaries and may be seen as unprofessional2.
Respect and Humility: Teachers are role models for their students and the community. Demonstrating respect and humility in discussions, both online and offline, sets a positive example. Flexing their status can be perceived as arrogant and may diminish the respect others have for them3.
School Policies: Many schools have guidelines regarding teachersâ conduct on social media and online platforms. Flexing their status in arguments might violate these policies and could lead to disciplinary actions2.
In summary, while a teacherâs expertise is valuable, itâs important for them to present their arguments based on facts and reasoning rather than relying on their status. This approach not only maintains professionalism but also fosters a respectful and constructive dialogue.
----
Have a great rest of your weekend too, im honestly not at all upset nor want to cause any trouble. I'm just shocked to see a teacher using the 'im a teacher' line in the way you did. Seems so pointless to even mention it given the risk vs reward simply don't stack up, anyhoo i'm done, cheers mate!

 @somtingwongwai7194 at least we have several political parties in Australia so that citizens can vote in the power they want, unlike China where citizens you have no choice or influence over their dictator. I must say i do quite like the resemblance of yours and Winnie the Pooh.. its quite amusing that pictures showing this are censored over there. No sense of humour, we rip into our politicians all the time as they answer to the public not the other way around.. unlike China again. Notice a trend yet?
Rudd was the PM at the time so it doesnt matter what the other party thought. It's also pretty disrespectful to demand an apology and then dismiss one when its given, seems inline with the CCP way of thinking though - "do as we say not as we do" to put it succinctly. That mentality doesnt fly in western cultures im afraid and us very frowned upon.
And please, tell me more about the seizing of land like Taiwan and Hong Kong. Yeah the rest of the world knows all about what China gets up to even though they try and hide or twist the truth. Or maybe we should talk about human rights and the atrocities that China is doing to Uyghurs right now, or Tiananmen square. Im not aware of any other nation that has to put up nets in their factories because conditions are so poor people were opting to jump and end it rather than spend another day slaving away. Or maybe you want to talk about the future, like how China is running out of fresh water, arable land and food. Are you old enough to have lived through the famine that was occuring in China just 25 years ago?
I could go on and on about the awful things China has done if we want to turn this into a pissing contest over which nation has the worst history.
No nation or country in the world is pure and innocent, all of them, every single one, has done something bad in the past.. some more than others.. China have done so many atrocious things it makes Australia look tame and like saints.
However there is one simple thing which can cut thru all the BS propaganda that you want to spruce....
Why is it that so many Chinese people come to Australia for education and ultimately want to migrate here? And why is it that almost no Australian's or even ppl from other countries educate or migrate to China?
The answer is pretty obvious, people go where things are better and future prospects are more plentiful. There's no need to be bitter or jealous about it, we still welcome people from all walks of life here... just another one of the many reasons why Australia is a wonderful place to live.
Peace â

 @somtingwongwai7194 huh? Your starting to be incoherent. I assume you are of Chinese origin and english isnt your 1st language but if ya gunna try and bait people into an argument and cause friction you're failing terribly.
You probably don't know this, since it seems you werent even aware that an apology had even been made originally.. but many years ago when Rudd did it, it involved far more than just a website. I simply linked you to one of the many official government sites to essentially just reveal how little you know about the situation and make you look like a fool, but you're doing that all by yourself now.
I'll let you use your great investigative and researching skills to find out more about it, wouldnt want to spoil the fun of finding stuff out for yourself.
And wow, i didnt think you would have such open contempt towards Uyghurs, but well, here we are... you've lost all credibilty and are in no position to lecture anyone, let alone Australians, on things that happened many generations ago when right now today your homeland is one of the biggest offenders of human rights violations and poverty.
Give my warm regards to your handler, i hope you still get paid even though you're a rubbish shill.. because im not an ahole and think everyone should be treated with kindness and mutual respect. These are probably foreign concepts to you, but where i live we frown upon your type of behaviour.
Make love, not war.

 @GleeChan it's quite simple really - it's called the power of deduction, or more formally deductive reasoning.
Whilst you may firmly believe you were merely talking about Musk, there is much more that can be deduced about yourself from that original single sentence.
There is nothing of substance with respect to Musk, he's a public figure not public speaker - he can be a bit awkward at times, blunt and direct too which overly sensitive ppl like yourself have difficulty handling, especially if it's constructive criticism, but he can certainly string a sentence together.. i'd go so far as challenging you to find an example where he doesn't. Or just wanders off like a roomba
More interestingly, you didn't address my one and only question - if anything you over reacted, in a rather aggressive manner that a person with control issues would and in doing so somewhat confirmed my suspicions. A pleasing result overall, cheers!
In the words of Shakespeare, the lady doth protest too much me thinks đ

 @Angry-Romper ah yes, the same time! Of cooourse! Totally makes sense!
That explains the hours between you replying nonsense about me expecting an answer of "a CEO of McDonalds" and then as if by magic, many hours later you just happened to decide to reply again at the exact same time, and without first seeing my replies, with a different answer.
It definitely wasn't minutes after i provided you a link with the answer in the first paragraph, no siree, you definitely knew "government" hours beforehand and that's why you thought someone might be expecting to reply with an answer of "CEO of McDonalds".
Yep, that's gotta be it.
All makes perfect sense now. Oh btw, you should probably not be wearing those pants on fire, ppl might get the wrong idea and think you'te a liar liar.
Not me though, no siree, i know an honest and knowledgeable scholar as yourself would never dream of such a thing.. not in a million trillion gazillion years.. that'd be delusional đ
Anyhoo, so why you got beef (pun intended) with CEO's of McDonalds and not government officials, yknow, the ones who have the power to increase the minimum wage and force those horrible CEO's to pay a livable wage?
Do you tip McDonalds workers even though you aren't required to in order to help them earn a livable wage? Or nah just the bare minimum?

 @O1OO1O1 on the van analogy, if i told my apprentice to clean the work van before he picks me up in the morning.. then yes ill complain if he shoves me inside and its messy. He failed to complete a task as part of his employment. If another colleague is caught stealing work equipment does this somehow cancel out the failure to clean the van? It's okay to bend the rules if someone else is doing something worse?! This is the equivalent of the Holgate situation, although i suspect you wanted to imply what Holgate did was like an abduction or something?! Weird.
On the Hitler thing, why don't we use a more modern day equivalent? Uyghurs in China, are you suggesting that people shouldn't be concerned about their treatment whilst captured nor advocate for better conditions? They are going to eventually die anyway, which is way worse, so why speak up about poor treatment? In your world view can a person only focus on a single issue at a time? As in, you either fight for better conditions OR releasing prisoners... you cant do both? So if a person chooses the opposite one you feel is more important they are missing the "core issue".
Since we're just throwing around quips and assumptions, here's a few sayings for you...
Learn to pick your battles, small wins are better than a big loss.
It's possible to walk n chew gum at the same time.
Lead by example, don't be a "do as i say, not as i do" type.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.
If you've got nothing nice to say, sometimes it's better to say nothing at all.
Politics ruins everything.
Peace, stay frosty out there on the political battlefront.. some of the enemy have insult-proof vests now, ya gunna need better ammunition â

@Fourier21 i used to have a lot of respect for TF as these busted videos used to contain scientific justification and were decently researched, but videos such as this one have diminished that significantly.
I've been a subscriber for years and from my observations it seems that Trump was the turning point and broke him - the first few cracks started to show when he was doing his rona viwus update videos. He would go on these long rants about Trump with no evidence or justification just purely speculation and opinion - its perfectly fine for him to despise Trump, Musk, etc everyone's entitled to their opinion but he used to be better as separating opinion from fact.
Im not sure exactly why Musk suddenly then became a target too, not just from TF but others seem hell bent on discrediting and mocking him too, i have my suspicions but the point is its the same behavior and approach which is in stark contrast to his other "busted" videos. Ie poorly researched, bad assumptions and the same stale bad faith arguments in multiple videos - this one is a classic example, 15 minutes of recycled material, 10 minutes of napkin maths and then lastly 5 minutes on what likely triggered TF to make the video (the satellites getting in the way for astronomers)
It wouldn't be so bad if he stuck to his strengths, which is physics and chemistry.. but the moment he starts to venture into topics such as economics, business and entrepreneurialism it highlights his weaknesses and reveals to me that TF isn't as knowledgeable as he potrays. These are very different worlds and why i think TF doesn't understand how people like Musk and Trump are successful - if you've worked your whole life as a professor doing science stuff in an academic environment it's a foreign concept that often "good, not perfect, is good enough" along with many other business decisions which often conflict with what is best scientifically. It's kind of a shame as i used to look forward to watching his busted videos, now they are regularly tedious to sit through and leave me thinking, "geez how petty".
But hey, maybe it's all entirely a ruse and TF is fully aware of what he is doing and it's purely intentionally to game the algorithms and get more of those ad revenue dollars. Not that this would make it any better, but at least it makes more sense logically as to why he would make videos like these as opposed to him simply having a juvenile gripe and needing to vent.
Completely agree on the cult remark, it's truely amazing and hilarious at the same time - confession projection comes to mind any time i see one of them personally attack someone of this rather than the substance of what was said.

 @RokeJulianLockhart.s13ouq oh i see, because YOU haven't personally seen or experienced it, it must not exist. Furthermore, because YOU don't understand the relevance, there must not be any. Therefore, it is I who speaks like a child, not you, a very experienced prodigy like Doogie Houser.
Have i understood your logic correctly Mr Anecdotal? I wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions.
I'd recommend looking up the names you don't know, or don't. Ain't nobody gunna tell YOU what to do, especially not some rando, amirite?!?

 @davidhardy3074 you're thinking too simplistically, sure there are stronger and faster animals, but that doesn't make us generalists - can any othe animal peel an orange better than us? Can they shuffle a deck of cards? Throw a spear? Tie shoe laces? Create shoe laces? Teach another animal how to tie their shoe laces with nothing other than verbal instructions? Write a message that will be understood by a future generation? Build better shelter, or dams, or farms, drive a car, operate a crane, erect a circus tent, tame another animal far bigger and stronger than itself?
We are the most advanced life form known in the universe and we are better at just about everything beyond rudimentary tasks like out running a cheetah, pulling a wagon like a horse, biting a seal like a shark, living for centuries like a tortoise.
I'd argue even within animals they aren't truly specialized or the best either - a peregrine falcon is faster than a cheetah, a snow leopard is faster than a cheetah in snow, a penguin would be faster on ice.
But hey, if you want to think we humans are simply creatures that are "jack of all trades, master of none" and anything we can do, an animal can do better go right ahead.. can any other animal communicate with another animal on the other side of the globe which they've never met using nothing but their thumbs?
We even peel bananas better than damn monkeys ffs đ€Ł

 @davidhardy3074 none of this has anything to do with whether humans are generalists or not, but putting that to the side and focusing on the "humans don't do anything better than any other animal" side... here is my conversation with an LLM that is more capable of providing reliable information than yourself
Sent by Copilot:
Humans excel in several areas that set us apart from other animals:
Complex Language and Communication: Humans have developed intricate languages with grammar and syntax, allowing us to convey abstract concepts, emotions, and detailed information.
Advanced Tool Use and Technology: While some animals use tools, humans have taken this to extraordinary levels, creating complex technologies that have transformed our world.
Art and Culture: Humans create and appreciate art, music, literature, and other cultural expressions, which are unique in their complexity and diversity.
Scientific Inquiry and Innovation: Our ability to understand and manipulate the natural world through science and technology is unparalleled.
Social Structures and Cooperation: Humans form complex social structures and cooperate on large scales, from small communities to global organizations.
Abstract Thinking and Problem Solving: Humans can think abstractly, solve complex problems, and plan for the future in ways that other animals cannot.
Is there a particular area youâre most fascinated by?
You
Sent by you:
what about physical properties or abilities such as running
Copilot
Sent by Copilot:
When it comes to physical abilities like running, humans are not the fastest animals, but we do have some unique advantages:
Endurance Running: Humans are exceptional endurance runners. Our ability to sweat and regulate body temperature allows us to run long distances without overheating, a trait that was crucial for persistence hunting in our evolutionary past.
Bipedalism: Walking and running on two legs frees up our hands for carrying tools and other objects, which has been a significant evolutionary advantage.
Versatility: While we may not be the fastest sprinters compared to animals like cheetahs, humans can run over varied terrains and for longer periods, making us versatile runners.
Adaptability: Humans can train and improve their running abilities significantly, adapting to different environments and conditions, from marathons to ultra-marathons.
