And why, pray tell, should the U.S. be sticking its fat, rich nose into my business?! :)

Same with Russia. My parents and grandparents had never even heard of allergies in the USSR, nobody had them. But after the 1990's, when the Soviet Union collapsed, people started to develop them. Strange.

Watch what you say! Without Christianization campaigns by Roman and Greek missionaries, the European tribal groups would not have united to become the industrial powerhouses that shaped our world today. Especially because the European tribes were almost constantly warring with one another- what do you think the world would be like without the Byzantine Empire? Or the French, German, or British as we know them? Christianity solidified all of them. If you think Christianity is the hindrance of all progress in the world, you should read about paganism and its divisiveness.

@blackhatfreak Fuck off Yank Any other brilliant remarks?

*Cheapness. People can and still do build beautiful things, it's just more feasible to build simply structures instead of embellishing and overengineering to hell. People forget just how much the population has exploded since industrialization, building entire cities in a 'beautiful' style is simply impossible. Unless you want to live in a dirt hovel (like most Europeans at the time did), you should be grateful for the ugly box you call home. Sorry.

If you are vegan, I hope you take Vitamin B12 supplements. Because meat of relatively new to the human diet (in evolutionary terms), the only nutrient we have had time to become dependent on is that one. This should be evidence to you that humans need meat— grass creates B12 naturally, but it contains silica, and humans die if we ingest it, so eating animals is the only way. That being said, I agree the meat industry is literally and metaphorically covered in blood, and change needs to happen. I just hope you've done your research before switching, many get sick (to be nutritionally healthy as a vegan, you need to eat foods from all over the world. In the past, this was impossible, but currently it's the only moral option.)

"When was the last time you used a pen?" "When was the last time you wrote?" "Why is typing making you stupid?" Jesus dude, just pick a title. Preferably one that's not clickbait (because information retention =/= intelligence). Thank you

@sechmascm Yes, the one where serfs had to work for decades bonded to their land? With little to no food? Such a great time that was, really. The Communists may have mismanaged horribly, but the Tsar was slow to industrialize and without the Soviet gigafactories, Russia simply wouldn't exist (Hitler's ultimate plan was to eradicate the Slavs and turn East Europe into Lebensraum).

@iHaveTheDocuments Have you seen American buildings? They're not much better. At least the Soviet blocks were made of concrete, your shit is made of MDF chickenwire, and drywall, and lasts 50 years max.

@денисбаженов-щ1б First part true, second part not. Most of the oldest Russian buildings (and part of the reason people think Russian architecture is so young) were made of wood. They, of course, rotted away, but the few that are left are as old as other European styles. This is where the onion dome and multi-layered cathedral designs come from; they're not present in Greek Orthodox buildings. The only reason Greek and Roman architecture is older (beyond the fact that the Mediterranean climate allowed their people to build civilizations easier) is because they built with stone and concrete.

***** I live in America and have traveled to Russia, and I can tell you firsthand that the Russian air is wonderful ;) Thank you for commenting!

I prefer the old background (and suit!!) it gave Thoughty2's videos a special, professional vibe that isn't easily replicated.

Some things to point out: American food is crap, you're right. But it's for reasons other than the ones you mentioned: Sugar is extremely prevalent and nearly unavoidable in the American diet. This leads to diabetes, heart disease, etc. Fluoridated water isn't necessary... it's already in our toothpaste, so infusing it into our water is overkill. It strengthens our teeth's enamel, but at the cost of yellowing them slightly. Warren Buffet, an elite, eats McDonald's every day. It just depends on how you were brought up. True, it's unhealthy, but harming people is bad for business. This is why fast food is finally on the decline in the U.S.- people aren't buying it anymore.

@AverageAlien Nope, no country's experience is identical, and recency matters. China succeeded because they learned from the Soviets' mistake. They also have a massive labor pool. India? Same thing. Enormous population and friendly relations with the U.S.. What's Russia to do? They can either compete with high quality European goods (which takes time), or compete with Chinese and Indian low quality goods. With less than a third the population, and most Russians being high skilled (expensive labor). What do you suggest if there are "no excuses"? (The lack of a niche for Russia to fill is a pretty good excuse so I'm expecting an actual answer, otherwise you're wrong).

Stay away from that Flinstones gummy shit, man. Fuck you up fo life

Why are modern buildings ugly? A sobering answer: economics. It's simply cheaper to build them like shit. Unless you want housing prices to go even higher, we should all be thankful politicians don't insist on making everything beautiful. With domestic labor costs, no one could afford to live anywhere. Also consider, that the cities with all these beautiful historic buildings, weren't always like that. They had shitty buildings for the poor back then, too. The pretty buildings were the ones that survived because we maintained them. The ugly ones were simply demolished. So we're seeing survivorship bias. You only see the best of the best when it comes to the past. How many of our buildings today still survive 100 more years? Your house won't, but the White House? Absolutely.

Idk I think there are still good songs out there. Gorillaz, a lot of Maroon 5's early work, and Kendrick Lamar's 2015 To Pimp a Butterfly are just off the top of my head.

Haha only reason I know about that one is because of the Dell commercial

@AverageAlien After a world war and an economic collapse? Better than anyone expected.

Wait so why has the price of introducing a new artist gone up so much? Wouldn't an improvement in technology make it cheaper?

@UmbralDraco87 Um, you clearly haven't been to Russia. The entire point of "postmodern" Soviet architecture was to be aligned and regimented, mostly for economic reasons. You can that they're ugly. Of course they are. My point is that they're sturdier than the shit houses Americans live in. And yes, the tradition of hanging Ottoman rugs on walls is older than the entire history of the U.S., what about it? I don't see why that's supposed to be a point— if you want to use that go insult Russian architecture, then implicated all the same. You have entire regions built by fourth-generation slaves. Again, what's your point?

No, the Bomba (not "Bombe," that was the English's ode to the Polish who had cracked the Enigma six times before) was solved by the Polish. The only reason they stopped is because they ran out of money. When the Germans added two extra rotors to their newest machines, the Poles would have needed to increase the Bomba's computing power ten times. They couldn't afford it. Also, the British government had to apologize decades later for treating Turing like shit during his service just because he was gay. And people wonder why the west is loathed.
1
Not the main point of my comment. I don't see you arguing the fact that Britain did not, in fact, single-handedly solve the Germans' Enigma codes. How "Western" exactly do you consider yourself to be? You used a textbook Soviet argument. "But what about?-" is not a good way to justify violence against homosexuals, or anyone else. Give ME a fucking break.

I came for those time travelling titties lol

The states can do what New York has- just start paying the staff fairly and inform diners not to tip. The residual money from the transition can be used to upgrade tools, renew decor, etc.

@soundsofthebanana That's what I was aiming for, but thank you for clarifying. If you don't mind me asking (since I'm not an expert by any means, just a skeptic) what are the flaws in dismissing these renewables which, according to the video, have many negative externalities? (I'd have some reservations if you support fossil fuels, but I'm always willing to listen)

You know after watching videos like this and documentaries about Americas problems, I begin to the see the 13 stripes on the flag as prison bars. Is this nornal?

Does anyone know the name of the (stock?) background music playing during Thoughty2's story about John Paul Dejoria? I'd really like to know the name, thanks!!

Hey could someone tell me which Thoughty2 videos has that really awesome scene with a drone shot of a city with Mesopotamia superimposed on the frame? One of my favorite video editing examples hands down, but I can't remember what its name is :(
