As a proud Black, Christian American, I am opposed to the Bill for posting the 10 Commandments in the school because it is a violation of the 1st Amendment. I think that by doing that, they would NEED to allow ALL other Religions to be posted, and that will inevitably cause problems. Always does.
This. As a pagan, it's super frustrating when I raise this issue and I get the excuse they're only focusing on Christianity because "to not include it would be discriminatory." As if they're not discriminating by not allowing other religions to be seen or celebrated. There's more than one way to show prejudice. Discrimination is the obvious one but there also unjust enrichment. When one group gets something (visibility, money, seats at the table, etc) that no one else gets, you are showing favoritism and being discriminatory against everyone who didn't get that favor. It makes me angry. Because you know if any other religion asked for this sort of acknowledgment, they'd be rejected. If I asked for the Delphic Maxims to be posted in schools, I would be told no because "not everyone believes in the Greek gods. Posting them would be forcing your beliefs on others." And this doesn't even touch on how the people doing this don't realize that the reason why there is that divide isn't just that colonists came here for religious freedom. It's also because some of the founding fathers themselves weren't that religious. Jefferson was far less religious than many realize. He literally made his own edit of the Bible because he thought Jesus was better studied as a philosopher than worshipped as part of a divine being. Jefferson was far more of a deist or agnostic than what would count as Christian.
yea, the good news from my perspective as a wiccan and a practicing witch that pays attention within those communities is that the satanic temple will almost certainly get involved with a counter measure of some kind. love them
, it was a pleasure to read such a great explanation! Thank you for sharing. Also, people came here for religious freedom. The people who were here all had different ideas on religion. So it was. Separated from our government. Some of the founding fathers were Atheists.
@@AppleStrawberryLoveI completely agree. Other groups are never allowed to display their beliefs so blatantly in schools, only Christianity is accepted because most of the people in power are Christians, so they see nothing wrong with their unjust behavior.
I'm a Christian American and I wholeheartedly agree. The only way to ensure that Christians are free to worship how we want is to make sure the government can't impose upon or prohibit any religion to anyone, ever. Freedom of/from religion and protection of religion are the same.
I’m an oceanographer who works with deep sea data and with other deep sea scientists. One of the most terrifying points that an advisor pointed out to me is that the current plan for deep sea mining would dump sediment over the entire deep sea from about halfway through the water column, suffocating deep sea and mid sea organisms. This would also create so much noise in a layer of the water column that propagates noise very well, and is used by whales to communicate. If this was done in the proposed scale, there would be no place in the ocean where one couldn’t hear this activity…a truly dystopian concept…
My entire confusion on this ISA is precisely what the US is missing out on, here As long as the US is not a signatory, what exactly is stopping it from issuing its own contracts for exploration or derp-sea mining? I suppose the ISA could monopolize data and expertise by refusing to work with any company that contracts to non-signatories?
This would genuinely kill hundreds of of thousands of animals who rely on sound to traverse the ocean. Deep sea mining for military prowess is the most disguising display of greed by humanity. I hate humans
@@jer1014t2th Ideally no one will be missing out on anything because we just 110% should not be doing it, the entire deep sea is a huge carbon sink that is hugely effective at slowing down climate change. Disturbing it would release that carbon back into the atmosphere as well as disrupting the entire process that stores carbon there in the first place. Deep sea mining makes as much sense as setting fire to every forest on earth and expecting everything to be fine!
@@jer1014t2th I imagine that the US needs permission to go digging in international waters from the bodies that regulate them. If you don't play nice you won't be let back into the game over and over again. Within its own waters? Whatever its heart desires. Without? That's paperwork overtime.
My college (none religious) had our honor code posted in each classroom and that made sense!!! The lawmakers pushing this don’t even follow the 10 commandments!!
The degradation of the separation of church and state is scary. I don't need someone else to validate my beliefs by forcing them on someone else. I hope and pray that we get these entitled politicians out before they completely destroy the US.
Exactly. Plus it doesn't take much effort to go from this Christian idea must be in every classroom, to this is a Christian land and your religion is not welcome here. Regardless the fact that the underlying messaging is basically the same.
On the Louisiana story, it really bothers me as a mother because I don’t think religion has any place in public school other than possibly teaching tolerance of other religions. We have specific private religious schools for exactly this reason!
My hope is that there's a strong backlash against all this religious extremism, as people's eyes open to just how dangerous dogmatic religious people are.
As someone who taught outside of New Orleans for 6 years, this law about the 10 commandments frustrates me. This legislature cut teachers stipends for next year, and the district I worked for couldn’t even afford trash bags for our classrooms. Yet they will expect schools to purchase a poster of the 10 commandments for every classroom. Absolutely wasteful for no good reason!
@@dutchik5107 LMAO teacher shortage. Fuck off with your bullshit. There isn't a teacher shortage. It's just another cry tactic because they want to be paid more.
About Rafah, every time that Israeli leadership admits any wrongdoing, they downplay it by saying that they didn’t target the victims. Every time they admit shooting against civilians, their investigations on the events always find something that makes the IDF innocent of any wrongdoing. It happened with Rachel Corrie, with Shireen Abu Akleh, with the flour massacre, with the World Central Kitchen workers and countless similar situations.
I find it devastating. The poor Jewish people who where killed and kidnapped by a minority terrorist group. And I'm Irish so I understand how a people can lean end up being terrorist to help independence and free rights for our land. I just don't like voilenc. And the Horrific heavy-handed violence put onto people who where completely innocent. It has been used by an egotistical sociopathic Prime Minister or should I say dictator Benjamin Netanyaha. To do the most evil acts. And the long term trauma is going to be terrible. The world needs to stop it. And it's embarrassing the USA seems to be able to do notting about him. He is making Biden like he's lap dog.
I live in Louisiana. We rank the worst in almost every metric that matters compared to other states (education, healthcare, obesity, crime rate, etc.) Our politicians don't care about our residents. They put out stupid shit like this all the time (bills against transgenders, crack downs on libraries, bills about abortion, bills against diversity at universities, etc.) Our state needs to pay teachers, invest in healthcare, invest in childcare and youth. This bill is a stupid waste of time and money that will have no real benefit for any school children and it is a clear violation of separation of church and state. Unfortunately I am not surprised...this is par for the course in Louisiana.
Crazy to me when people like her think it's the gays indoctrinating children when she wants to force religion on children. I grew up with gay people in my life and NEVER have had they forced me into anything . I was forced into the pledge of allegiance every day and saying " under god" when I don't believe in him.
Teachers are paid by the county, gotta direct your frustrations at them. But yeah, this is the case with many bills past, they're about making the politicians look good to a potential voter base, not about making real change.
As an atheist and a teacher, it is insulting that legislatures want schools to post religious texts. I would strongly consider civil disobedience to these laws that go against my own free speech.
I’m hoping the Satanists will try to get some satanic laws up in school as well. That is often the only way to show these idiots what kind of Pandora’s box they’re opening.
Personally I'd put up multiple religious rules and guidelines, all made in different random sizes like an art piece around it. It'll just be 1 of many.
As a Canadian, it always makes me laugh when Americans say that there is a separation of church and state in the US. And then you hear about things like this.
Just a reminder, Louisiana was recently ranked dead last on the "Best States" list. *Again*. Instead of addressing any of the multitude of things that they are so far behind on, THIS was what they accomplished.
Because if they manage to get away with it in the end, they will be seen is a hero to the far right religious, and those currently serve on a state level of government, will have a name to toss into the federal ring, where the real money comes in (to their pockets).
Ranked lowest in over seventy different metrics(like education) And yes, they've had a stranglehold on their state for decades, and made not a thing better, but jump at the opportunity to push their agenda down the youth's throats. Bigots
I thought the controversy of the "all eyes on Rafah" thing is that the image is AI generated, and it sucks that THAT is the only thing that seems to get people talking. Not the horrors of *why* we're keeping our eyes on it.
You can hear the happiness in the voice of President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum so clearly as he’s talking about which players will be getting some new records. It brought a smile to my face.
I love that Alia was able to comment on her audio-less segment with the missing content AND an update that would have never made it into the original video. I don't know if I've ever seen this level of interactivity on UA-cam
I just wanted to say that Doctors Without Borders is such an awesome organization and the bravery of them putting their lives at risk for helping others is so admirable and inspiring. It's sad that several of DWB workers have died in air strikes/attacks performed by Israel.
It’s terrible and tragic but at the very very least…Israel was honest about it. Can’t say the same about the other side who constantly puts civilians in danger on purpose
@@leez4164Israel has also admitted to carrying out an air strike that caused the death of at least one of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas. It's clear that Israel also doesn't care about their own civilians (and especially not the lives of innocent Palestinians). Also, I've heard many people blame Hamas for this war but it's truly a conflict layered in so much history which I urge you to research if you have the time. The actions of Hamas can never be justified however it is unreasonable to claim that this war started at the hands of Hamas on October 7th when so many generations of Palestinians have been subjected to this oppression for decades. Peace and love ❤
@@tamzin.roberts Honestly, this war needs to end the way all wars end. One wins and rewrites history the way they want it to be seen, and the rest of the world goes "Oh, okay." Theres a long tradition of this, and its pretty obvious the reasons why. Nobody is right, war isn't about being right...its about winning. Thats why we look at the Germans today and say "I know you didn't do what was caused in the past" instead of "Fuck you Nazi". They lost. They've moved on. We've all moved on. The only time we can't move on is when its STILL HAPPENING. Yes, people are going to die. Its fucking war. Every single government body to send soldiers to war has civilian blood on their hands. US, Japan, China, Russia, Ukraine, Spain, name one. Know how we get over it? We find out who won, go read their redacted history books, and continue with life saying "Oh, this is how it went", because THEY WON. Is it awful? Absolutely. Whats your counterplan to doing this? We can't just be killing eachother forever.
@@leez4164also its not "terrible and tragic" its a war crime, and Israelis always lie about the war crimes they commit before they are forced to admit to it.
It was interesting hearing that one comment about records being "broken." The records were white-washed. If a player had more hits than Babe Ruth and those scores weren't counted, that's not erasing scores/records, that's making them more accurate.
You could just read that tweet as "I'm upset that the white folks aren't the best anymore". Like dude, there's no need for the novel, just say you don't like black people
Think the main argument is they weren't playing in the same league so the opponents they faced were on a different level. It's like how high school football has different leagues based on school size. The best 1A school in any state would lose hard to a 4A school. Same game, different level of play.
In Canada we have catholic and Jewish school boards. There may be others, but not in my region. When you are paying your municipal property tax you get to choose which school board gets allocated a portion of your taxes. Due to this, it is clearly understood that religion has no place in public schools.
@@RealBradMiller You gotta pick some sort of education, and as much as you might think you dont want it really think about a world where a generation of kids had no education. Even if you dont think about it from a personal viewpoint think about what it would do to your country when other countries are significantly more educated.
Got to love conservative priorities in education, Louisiana ranks 47th in the nation in education but sure posting the ten commandments is more important than making the education system better
Make kids dumb and blind to religion and then say your party is religious...there you go..a whole generation of unquestioning voters that will vote for you you or attack people you deem as ungodly, etc. Which will be anyone you just dislike
Problem is too many people, especially in the rap/hip hop community, worship money and will use conspiracy theory to say he was set up in some type of way. I've argued withe enough of these types of people to know.
As a conservative Christian, the 10 commandment story just seems WILD to me. For a group of people who harp on the constitution so hard, they seem to forget the separation of church and state.
Not actually in the constitution. That’s what the conservative base is leaning on. It was more of an opinion of Jefferson and other founders of the time. But they never actually put it into law and government. Honestly will be interesting how far they can push this bill, just to see how parties and politicians will use theirs base to push their own interests
@@inlandjet2891 The words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the U.S. Constitution, but the concept is enshrined in the very first freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Known as the establishment clause, the opening lines of the First Amendment prohibit the government from creating an official religion or favoring one religion (or nonreligion) over another.
My partner was an elementary school teacher in louisiana for 4 years before we moved to minnesota. He said if we were still in louisiana, he would have quit teaching. Cant imagine how many LA teachers are feeling the same way today.
I hate how blatant people can be with just not giving a shit about laws and more about having power, and people just don't see an issue. Literally, there is something about separation of religion and school, and they are trying to push one dude praying to himself at a game as to why they should force everyone to "proudly" display a religious set of rules you know for damn sure most of them don't follow in the schools for all ages.
That's what's crazy to me like schools have never banned prayer as long as it's not sponsored by a staff, anyone including staff can pray personally and students can set up group prayers if they want. So how was that dude having a personal prayer after the game even questioned and then to be used like this.
the US laws forcing schools to have the 10 commandments up in public schools seems so fucked up, the fact the US has gotten to this point where a LARGE portion of the government is deeply religious when the separation of church and state is literally a foundational law of the country makes no sense to me. i went to catholic school in Canada, and even worked for that school board for a short while, the only way you could tell it was a religious school was a small cross(15cm tall) on a random wall of each class and 1 or 2 small posters with a generic prayer in 1 or 2 common spaces like cafeteria or library. we had a wide variety of different religion kids in the schools and in the late 2010s the school board had even started looking at ways to accommodate non catholic kids better, like letting kids stay at school during the yearly easter mass or quite space for kids to pray or do other ceremonies for their specific religion. I just deeply do not understand how the US government can just slowly decay and become a puppet of the church with no checks or balances. if a small catholic school in northern canada can do better than the US government something has gone terribly terribly wrong.
SO MUCH of this behavior from politicians seems performative and quite hollow. The push to plant a Christian flag everywhere, so to speak, doesn't make sense to me...and I'm Christian.
Those are state governments and yes people are allowed to be religious inside of government even deeply religious. The separation of church and state is more so on the side of the government not messing with people's religion. However what they are trying to do is clearly in the wrong the government should not be mandating speech or spreading/favoring a specific religion.
As someone who has grown up in Mississippi this increasing lack of separation of church and state is beyond worrying. Kids already get indoctrinated at an alarming rate here. I had so much conservative propaganda shoved down my throat at such an early age and it lasted all throughout my time at school. I was a weird, bisexual, goth kid which made me a massive target for harassment and bullying from students and faculty. I literally got accused of witchcraft and got brought into the principal office for supposedly helping someone curse a girl. They had the joke of a spell and I asked if they had read the weight loss spells in there yet. Like it was nothing but those kind of light hearted spells. My friend gave it to me because I was curious about Wicca at the time. I could see the principal realizing that they had nothing they could do to me over it and they let me go. I would hate to know what they would have done if they had been allowed to act under their own beliefs. During my time at a private Christian school we were forced to black out any mention of evolution in our textbooks so we couldn’t even read it in our own time. The public schools brushed past the subject as well. I was shocked to discover just how much evidence there actually is for it. I was also had blatant misinformation presented as fact about abortion. Our sad excuse for “sex education” was also full of misinformation. We have to keep religion out of schools. I have seen the effects this constant misinformation has had on the people I’ve grown up with. Unless they’re born an outcast like I was they don’t ever learn about the truth of anything.
Damn, reading this is so saddening. I learned about Wicca as a teen as well. I guess luckily everyone was so up their own asses that they didn't know what it was where I lived. Just to clarify I grew up in a deeply rooted southern baptist household. I'm glad you didn't let them slow your role and succumb to their ignorance. Blessed Be my friend.
You have a mental illness. Just because you couldn't believe the truth about christ doesn't mean the rest of the world has to conform to make you feel good
So a few things on the league skin: 1. RIOT claims this is supposed to be a celebration for players to take part in. Except that celebration starts at a minimum of $20, and doesn't include the Ahri skin. 2. When teams win Worlds in League, there's a set of skins released based on champions each player played that those players get to choose. Faker chose Ahri, but RIOT had him change to another character as they had these plans for Ahri. Fans have been waiting for the T1 (the team Faker plays for) Ahri skin for a long time now, and there's a sour taste in our mouths that the skin we've been waiting for costs a minimum of $50. 3. We've slowly watched RIOT keep pushing the envelope of what they can get away with when it comes to charging for cosmetics. This is just the latest (and by far the most expensive by a large margin) and it's building up a lot of disdain for a game and company we've all loved. It's like the Disney effect. Disney has been offering their consumers less but charging more for it. RIOT's actually been doing the same, increasing the cost of skins while also taking away things that make them worth that much, primarily new effects (they've reused effects to cut corners, and some new effects are just awful looking) as well as things like custom animations. They've been doing this for a while now and it's starting to hit all of the player base's tipping points. There's more, but I don't want to type an essay. Long story short though is that RIOT has been steadily giving players less while charging more money for years now and outright lying to us players about what they can and can't do. We're just slowly watching the game and company we love degrade over time and it's extremely disappointing.
I mean the whole week leading up to this between the teasers and the videos, I was pretty hyped up. This was suppose to be a CELEBRATION of our GOAT. Instead it was just a massive cash grab. Leaves a real sour taste in the mouth.
The funniest part about the Faker situation is that Ahri is far from his most iconic champion. His signature champions are Ryze and LeBlanc, with Zed and Azir being other picks more well known than his Ahri. Riot chose Ahri because she’s much more popular than those 4 and will sell more skins.
They might have also chosen Ahri since Faker has said many times that he wanted an Ahri skin when won worlds, but never was allowed because of their own "rules" about which champions they can chose for their skin choice. And Ahri was never really they biggest meta pick when he won worlds or it was never a big champion for him those times
Fakers Zed is the most iconic of all time imho. I will never ever forget the "oh, Faker might be in trouble here - Death Mark - tries to clean it up for Ryu - OH LOOK AT HE CLEANSE, LOOK AT THE MOVES - FAKER - WHAT WAS THAT??!?!!!!? I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAW THAT!!!!!!...." Faker ascended from the mortal realm in that moment and became God.
Funny that they say the 10 commandments has historical significance while completely missing the fact that THERE'S MORE THAN ONE VERSION OF IT IN THEIR OWN BIBLE.
I mean bible was written by some randos. I don't even understand why every1 cares so much about it. I prefer fiction stories tbh, they are more grounded.
I'm glad the real history of baseball is finally being acknowledged. It takes nothing from the greats, it just acknowledges the rest of the greats for the first time.
Taylor Swift is a billionaire. There have legitimately been studied about how people have significantly reduced capacity for empathy after they get to a certain wealth point. She doesn't live in the same world as 90% of people, why would she do anything that could potentially negatively impact her?
I don't know how to react about louisiana as an european. We separated the state from the church for good reasons... I know the US is more religious than europe, but I still see that as a giant step back :/
It's a pathetic display of cowardice. The United States might as well come out and say we have a national religion, instead of trying to puppet this "freedom of religion" bullshit
I think this is a small part of why we continue on not condemning Israel; there are powerful people in our country that want the US to also be an ethnoreligious state. At least, that’s my tinfoil hat moment.
I dunno, saying euorp seems like a stretch to me. The vatican is in europe after all :P Since it's the internet, I want to be clear I'm just making a joke.
I'm guessing it took a small team since the recognition announcement to gather and add all the old data to the official database, checking the receipts on each private league's games . Latest news is just their "Work done" announcement .
I think @ERB covered the Babe Ruth records thing pretty well 11 years before this whole MLB update. “You set records before black men could compete, are you kidding me? That’s like having a pasta contest without Italy.” Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong
Reminds me of situations like with Ichiro Suzuki, who already had over 1000 hits in Japanese Leagues before getting another 3000 in the MLB. Unless you are scholarly when it comes to baseball, you might never realize the depth of its history and cultural significance. Was super eye opening for me just how much talent was overlooked when I did a project about the Negro Leagues for a US History class back in high school.
Actually it was partially BECAUSE negro athletes were far and away better athletes than the MLB contingent as to why there was so much professional push back, on top of the other reasons
Yeah but to be fair, they set *MLB* records. Not world records. Your comparison isn't really valid. It's like having an AMERICAN pasta contest without Italy, sure. That's where the problem lies. Whomever "ERB" is is only looking at one side of the issue.
He stands up for so much good, but then takes money from an industry that requires an addiction disclaimer. I wish he would do a deep dive into how online gambling is ruining sports.
@@ATHIP12 yes there are a lot of viewpoints him and his editors clearly do not dig deep on. usually about a news story per episode atleast. it can be quite frustrating because i rally want to like his attempt at non-bias reporting, but it mostly make sme feel like whoever is editing his scripts clearly is leaning a certain way and it sure isnt the Trump train. Im also not a fan of Trump or Biden, as long as they support Israel, give weapons that kill innocent children. I feel like that is an obvious "side with" issue that he hasnt yet fully spoken up on imo. I dont see him reporting enough corruption. It isnt necessarily how deep the team digs, its about where they are getting there information from. most of the time report well, other times they miss blatant corruption, or possibility there of. I get he wants to be more factual than opinionated..but when you miss important details..it makes viewers question your commitment to unbias reporting and how much your political and social views get involved in the work. We can see it. we watch you every day lol
Growing up, I always thought that the country was moving away from religion, but somehow that transition seemed to emboldened people to try to enshrine it in the one place we were all supposed to be safe from it. I remember thinking maybe we weren't far from getting mega churches taxed, and now I'm hoping they aren't integrated as another branch of the government.
It is moving away from religion. That's exactly why religious people have become much more radicalized and politically active. The country has been moving away from God for a very long time and certain Christians are very desperately trying to stop it. They should probably read the bible again though because it literally says all of this stuff is going to happen. It says wickedness will consume the world, people will shun religion, they'll take the mark of the beast (microchip implants) and worship the beast (technology) instead of God. The world Will abandon the idea of religion and God and worship satan instead. It's literally written in the script.
Personally I'm convinced that this is the very reason we're seeing this resurgence of religious political movements. Religious leaders saw a trend toward declining religious beliefs and coldly and calculatedly chose to pursue the modern religious politics to try and convince people to come back to church (and tithe).
It's not really a "growing up" thing, it's statistically true basically every year. But a small minority with some power is trying to push a hand that they've been waiting for for 50 years.
It’s great to see black baseball players being recognized for their achievements in baseball. Happy to see Rube Foster, Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson getting their flowers.
The MLB integration story reminds me of the ERB between Lance Armstrong and Babe Ruth where they had Armstrong say “You set records before black men could compete, are you kidding me? That’s like having a pasta contest without Italy!”
Blaming Babe Ruth for that is kind of silly though. Like was he supposed to single handedly fix racism or something? Like he got cheated out of a fair competition as well....
In regards to the story about the League of Legends skin: The thing about "just cosmetics" is that it is a social game as well as a competitive one. Having a more "premium" skin is something that people put their own personal value in and kind of use as a social currency in popular games. This is why Overwatch and Fortnite also have huge skin markets: It's not about just having the thing look cool to the player who owns and uses the skin, it's about a message that says either "look how cool I am in this skin" or "look how long I've been playing that I own this thing that's no longer available" or "look how much money I have that I can get the most expensive stuff" The social pressure of not being a "default" (which if I remember correctly was a word used by kids to bully kids who still used the "default dance" in Fortnite) is a big part of being in the cool circles of schools, friend groups, or any other group that can exclude based on income. That, and because Faker is such a well respected and liked player, Riot knows well that people are more inclined to splurge for it, even if the skin doesn't do things that would be worth the price tag attached to it.
Slight correction about the Ahri skin- we don't actually know how much of the revenue will be going directly to Faker. The FAQ only states that 30% will go towards his team/organization. While it's true that Faker most likely has one of if not the highest paying contract in esports, we have no idea what his cut is for this particular skin. As far as the community outrage, Riot has been pushing the boundaries of what they can charge for cosmetics for a while now. Not long ago there was an incident where Riot released a $200 skin that was, essentially, a slight recolor of an existing one. Riot has been majorly slacking with cosmetics in general recently- the majority of skins released in the last few months had multiple reused assets from other skins and champions. They are continuing to raise prices while slowly reducing quality. The battle pass system is also pay to win this time around. The pass for this event costs ~20% more than every pass before it, and it has 100 levels. To grind out those levels manually would mean playing league like it's a full time job for the duration of the event. So, to further inflate the cost of the $500 Ahri skin bundle, they made it so that buying the bundle automatically unlocks all 100 levels. This is by far the scummiest thing Riot has tried to shill to players, IMO. All of this content will be limited edition, never to be seen again, and so far it seems like there is no way to get any of it just by playing the game. Honestly, it's an insult not only to the community, but to Faker.
There's like a billion skins already, if they released a bunch of cheap "meh" skins you'd all be bitching that the skins aren't cool enough and not worth paying for. If you don't wanna feel like a dumbass whale spending money on cosmetics, then just don't. This coming from someone who played league for a decade and spent 2-3k total in that time on skins; trust me, it's not worth it. 🤷🏼
It's so hated by the community that people are actively banning Ahri in every game. If you bought the skin and supported Riots decision in fleecing its users, congrats, you don't get to use it.
@@arctaexi feel like it's the opposite, this is the kind of corporate, gaming industry thing that seems baffling and frustrating. they laid off employees **and** they have to make decisions that seem like worse value for the customer base?
I think the major factor here isn't the skin price. IMO riot can price skins however they want. There is no real difference in value between a $10 skin and a $500. They are all "donations" to riot anyway. What I think is scummy is the wildpass and that the skin is a limited time event (Why are the hall of fame skins limited, Fakers will still in the hall of fame 6 months from now). This makes it a FOMO situation and pushes it from an expensive luxury item into predatory marketing IMO.
Saying Diddy beats his partners because he has "abandonment issues" feels like shifting blame. You may not be responsible for your trauma, but you ARE responsible for healing it.
Fuck, I lost a parent as a teen and have a lot of issues around being issues, I could not even remotely consider hurting some one I love because of it. Using that as an excuse makes me want to vomit.
i sort of thought that too initially, but now I think it may have just been a poorly worded explanation of how he works, like "he turns into a psychotic, abusive, piece of shit asshole *when he feels he's been abandoned.*"
*I'm glad the MLB is revamping its records. First, I want to point out, that, cameras were alot more rare back then, and I hope recordings of games still exist, so that those of us who missed out, can watch some of these legencary players shine in their sport. My only (very slight) hangup is, though there's no doubt these players had talent and earned every stat, I'm wondering if the other players in that league were "up-to-par" and if those stats aren't slightly padded by lack of competition (playing against the Yankees etc), BUT, that said, that's the MLBs fault, not the players, and stats should be counted, AS IS.*
Oh they definitely weren't, the stats are definitely padded/biased which is why there's backlash. But many people (especially on a channel like this) see it as acceptable bias because it's happening "to the right group." Saying the MLB is at fault for doing what was normal at the time is just ascribing present day morals/ethics/laws to a different era.
I’d say place them alongside eachother per year, mlb records right next to the nl ones at the end of the day, it was a different circumstance but to anyone who looks, they can hold pride that quite a few nl records are larger than mlb and all that
I have an interview with a company next week that pay 26 weeks full-time paid parental leave and has a free crèche for employees. The company makes billions, so the fact they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to supporting employees means I really hope I get the job!
Good Luck! Obviously if it compromises your privacy in anyway don't reply, but does this company have products/services that I as a consumer can support? I always want to support businesses that support workers.
I was reading today that a statistician used data from players who played in both NLB and MLB to create some kind of “objective” comparison and found that the batting talent was roughly comparable between NLB and MLB stars of the time, for what it’s worth. Also ALL baseball fans should do themselves a favor and play through the NLB storylines on MLB the Show 23 and 24 - Bob Kendrick is an incredible narrator and shows such care and passion in how he tells the stories of these legends.
I''m an old Path of Exile player, a "free" game that you may have heard of. Every new league they have a variety of supporter packs that range from 50 bucks to close to 500 dollars (they currently have a supporter pack for $480). These supporter packs are mostly cosmetic and or provide some forum titles as well, although I believe the most expensive supporter pack typically lets you suggest some content for the game. For example, the most recent supporter pack allows you to suggest map designs that'll be used in a certain content in the next league, while previous ones allowed you to write custom text when opening a certain reliquary chest. The reason I bring this up is to show that there are other games with ridiculously expensive items or bundles, but as the name suggests, they are "supporter packs". They're to show your support for a "free" game. People who love the game, want to play it more, and are financially able to do so can support it as much as they want, at least it keeps a fun game going.
Right, I might think that to buy the 2.5k supporter pack that lets you decide some item later on is absolutely braindead, but I support peoples' ability to make that choice and feel good about it. If you feel like you're supporting, spend your money. If you just need need need, maybe don't.
Precision, the $500 pack is not each new league, it is each year so around 4 seasons. It also come with $500 worth of premium currency for the store on top of a long list of skins and real clothing items so it isn't just one skin, the value is way better.
The difference being that those supporter packs actually contain things that could be argued to have the value they're sold for and are not linked to or based on anyone that could strengthen the supposed sales value. $500 for a single skin in a game made by a company that posted 1.5 billion dollars in revenue last year, versus $480 for ingame armour skins, hideout + decorations, ingame currency, forum title and frames, spell effects, pets, a soundtrack, a signed art pack, clothing merch and the option of actually adding something to the game. All to support a company that posted ~83 million dollars in revenue last year. They're not even close to being in the same dimension.
Tbf these last 2 480$ supporter packs have been just bonkers visually and content wise. Not to mention you can get them gradually and also you get credits to spend on other items. Im well into 4 digit category simply because i love the game and how much they bring to table when compared to other games in this genre
Damn. That Putin statement was a slap to the face of European countries. He didn't even feel threatened enough to threaten the countries he shares a land mass with. He straight up used them as a tool to threaten America. Putin was like, "America, I'll beat the shit out of your little friend. Then what are you going to do?" That's as cold as a Russian who spoke freely about his government.
Like the US is using them to threaten him? This shit has gone on long enough and we should enter into talks for a cease fore but how would all the military contractors make their money right. Ukraine was never going to win, they're being used
The sad part is Europe will not be able to defend themselves. The Russians got a lot of experience fighting the vehicles of the EU that were sent over to Ukraine. If Russia crossed into Germany it would be a bloodbath the Germans can’t even organize and fund their own army famously failing at Basic procurement needs
Until you realise, they have spent over 2 and a half YEARS and tens of thousands of pieces of equipment, troops ect. Trying to conquer one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in Europe.. ANY of the more well funded nato countries could quite easily stop any attempted invasion or military attack by Russia, their navy has retreated to port multiple times against a nation with NO navy .. i mean the words sound cool and scary but the message/idea behind those words is laughable at best
Can we seriously take a minute to thank Phil for giving us actual news without all the bullshit? Phil has done an amazing job on being a news reporter unlike Keemstar who is just slowly going insane and crazy for attention. So thank you Phil, hats off to you sir.
Evidently separating church from state-and now schools-doesn't mean fuck-all in Louisiana. They're the 3rd least educated state, and ranked 3rd in school pregnancies. This should tell you something.
But don't you see? posting the ten commandments will help all those heathen children keep their legs shut.... ((/S) I would hope the sarcasm was obvious but iykyk.)
It almost feels like people pressure celebrities to do something because it’s been proven that pressure on politicians - those who could actually DO something - have always fallen on deaf ears.
But I always read it as people will then only do the morally right thing if their fave celebs tell them to do it. Why not just do it without the need for a celebrity to tell you to donate. That’s what baffles me
@@Gingerchalky Its not about reaching people who only do the right thing when prompted by a celebrity, it’s about reaching people period. Selena Gomez had 400 million followers. How many Palestinians could’ve been evacuated had she posted their gofundmes on her story?
@@asdfghjk8876 considering Israel has been blocking everything. I doubt many, if any. But also you kinda prove my point, Selena Gomez shouldn’t need to post it for her 400+ million followers for them to donate. If they truly view it as terrible thing without the need for a celebrity to tell them as such, they should seek out where to donate to, to offer aid. Not wait for a celebrity to post about it. If how they get their news about world events like this is from a celebrity posting it to their Instagram asking for help, that’s concerning in and of itself. The first thing I did when I learnt about all of this in October was donate to charities specifically for Palestine, not cos I saw some celebrity post about it.
@@asdfghjk8876 seems my reply disappeared cos I wanted to add, why do those 400+ million followers need Selena or any other celebrity to give them the link for the gofundme for Palestine? Are those 400+ million followers incapable of finding it themselves when this all started? Cos they seem to be able to have Instagram just fine, but using the internet to search for it themselves is too hard? Make it make sense
The ten commandments bill is hilarious, especially when you consider most"Ten Commandments" plaques at State capitals were put there as a marketing stunt for the Ten Commandments movie with Charlton Heston. He was part of it.😂
Just ask the people who are for this name the ten commandments. They can't. I am a Christian and a Theology Graduate. People don't know history nor the Bible but they speak like they do.
coming from the podcast version of the show to comment on the ukraine bit: how can western forces be putting limits on how Ukraine can defend itself with the supplies we send to them while Israel is allowed to bomb refugee camps with american bombs signed by former presidential candidates!? how is this the world we live in!? it’s disgusting
It’s wild to me that someone could not know what’s going on in Gaza right now. I’m glad you know now though. Tell your friends and family who might not know.
We do know how they fared. Negro League teams used to play the MLB teams and not only compete, but beat them regularly, I think even Babe Ruth and others played in the winter leagues against them as well. I would like to add that Jackie Robinson wasn't even the best of the Negro Leagues when he broke the color barrier, and he was one of the greatest players ever😉
Can I say that when I watch videos in general and I see the editors having fun by throwing in jokes or putting in gifs that is always puts a smile on my face. So cheers to you PDS editors for always making me laugh and doing a wonderful job. You deserve the recognition for sure.
Listening to Phil pronounce Ahri's name really hits. xD Seriously, thank you for covering this story. As a veteran League player, this new attempt at getting even more money is infuriating. This new Signature skin line seems to have started as a good idea to immortalize some of their biggest players, and has instead transformed into a yearly attempt to exploit their players with FOMO. Necrit has an incredible video on the topic.
I feel like this could have been less of a blow if you got something physical like a statue of the skin or a cool displate cause. Imagine if you buy this skin and someone as a joke, get your account with that skin permanently banned, or your account gets stolen.
@@BigDaddyWes Warframe has them beat and it's not even close. Warframe has a thriving ingame economy- it is entirely possible to get insanely rich in the game without spending a dime. There are some cosmetics that can only be bought with real money, but all of those items were designed by players and AFAIK they are given a share of the revenue. WF has released some questionable bundles in the past, and is definitely guilty of inflating bundle costs with fluff items no one would typically purchase, but there's so much content that is completely accessible for free that it's hard to be seriously angry. The only things you can f2p grind for in League are champions and shitty lootboxes.
@@dragonsheen3049i dont get what the equivalent to "getting insanely rich" would be in league. Grinding for champions in League is the only thing that real money would help you avoid, and I basically never hear anyone complain that having to spend real money on champions is any kind of bottleneck on playing the game to its fullest. Besides that, I cant think of anything else that conceivably would affect gameplay costing any money, so idk what makes WF's model so much better in your explanation?
Philip bringing back the “Chimp” takes me back to the golden age of the internet when every youtuber had an intro, those were the days...who’s with me?!!
Wanting to add my two cents to the Louisiana 10 commandments story. I live in Louisiana and work at a public university (I will not say where, don't want anything to happen), and frankly, the fact that our state values religion over people pisses me off. Our university is home to a diverse group of students, be they white, black, muslim, christian, athest, etc., and this just spits in the faces of those students who are not christian. If our country does not stop the progress of christian nationalists, one day, this will be a hypocritical theocracy and not the democracy that America claims to be
Ohhh you got me so good with that last moment there :D I was finishing up work and listening to your video in a different tab, was about to save a text I was writing for a few minutes and then heared the video cut out, my heart stoped thinking I lost connecting and everything is not going to save. Thank you for the minor heart attack! Love your videos Phil!
Remember, gender discussions are inappropriate for kids. Also "Hey mommy, what does adultery mean? It's posted in literally every classroom in my school".
Only non cis het gender roles are inapproriate for children and abuse...you can over sexualized bombard of your children as long as it is heteronormantive the right won't care.
This MLB news brings me so much happiness... those families who told their stories of those men playing ball and never having any recognition. So glad this has been corrected. I hope to see more.
The thing that not a lot of average fans know is that there were a lot of baseball leagues that have long since been defunct before the MLB that we know today came about. There was the Federal League, American Association, Union Association, and Players’ League too. In 1969 a committee came together and recognized these leagues as well in the MLB records. Leaving Negro League stats out of MLB records, while recognizing those long gone leagues, would simply be an extension of the segregation of baseball.
Phil the problem with the cost of the skins is the dangerous precedent it sets for gaming companies who then take it as a green light to implement similar practices. We have seen this through all monetization practices. If there is only limited push-back it will end up in all games from F2P to AAA which will inherently incentivize game companies to put more effort into the expensive skins than the game itself.
Minor clarification: a federal grand jury is the first step to bringing an *indictment* against someone. The other method of charging defendants with felony crimes is via an information, which does not require a grand jury (but it does require the defendant to waive their right to a grand jury). Both informations and indictments can also start as complaints, neither of which require a grand jury or a waiver of rights. Complaints will almost always turn into either an information or indictment, unless the defendant pleads down to misdemeanor crimes, but they are technically the most frequent way that prosecutors initially bring charges against someone in federal court. Source: I work at a district court, but sadly not the one where Diddy will be charged.
With the Diddy charges, even acts that are beyond the statute of limitations can be used to show a common motive, plan, or MO for charges that are not beyond the statute of limitations.
As a video editor I get that feeling. Whether it's an exporting glitch or just forgetting to unmute a clip from a long video, that dread of having to wait for it to re-render just sends chills up my spine xD
While one could argue how genuine people are when posting the image it certainly brings more eyes to it and leads to more people educating themselves and others about the horrific tragedy happening in Rafah
Thank you so much for your reporting on Rafah and the move in celebrities supporting Gaza and it’s benefits for encouraging education about the history of the region and generating financial support for the suffering Palestinians.
We all see past the virtue signaling. No one ever brings attention to all the other children suffering around the world. Syria, Ukraine, Kenya, Pakistan? Hello? Anyone????
I just don’t see many platforms mentioning atrocities in Gaza so I made my clear statement of appreciation. Y’alls two comments, ok rockets from Hamas, are you justifying your 100 billion dollar plus military dropping 2000 lb bombs on civilians because of Hamas’s sand lot resistance? And conflate all you want about kids suffering everywhere, I’m not denying that and your right on, all the children and suffering should and can be fixed, and we as humans will accomplish this, but I’m not virtue signaling, I’m following my heart in these times to come alongside the billions of others that stand against Israel’s oppression and smite it down…. Yes i said smite! Smite you!!!! Yah! 🫲
I am sick of it being framed as "side with isreal or palistine" as if the leadership of both are not the issue that is getting innocent people killed Side with the innocents...and if you do that you will find that you have plenty of criticism for both the warmonging leadership of palistine and isreal.
@@nimrodery Call it what you want...but the reality is the leadership of both palistine and isreal need to resign and a three state solution with international mediation at least for now should be how this is settled without further bloodshed. I call that bothsides bc bothsides of leadership don't deserve to be in power at this point and if they respected innocent lives they would step down imediately.
@@memegazer Or Israel could just respect international laws and people who have lived there for generations, and allow the people they terrorized to return as they were allowed to return. Israel was supposed to be a home for the Jews in Palestine not a state we fund to keep other nations fighting.
@@nimrodery Or both the leaderships could respect international laws and step down bc their decisions are war criminal. This about innocent lives...not preserving palistine or isreal leadership.
It doesn't matter at what point you speak out, you've spoken out. If we chastise those for taking so long to speak out we can end up alienating them. One more voice in protest to what is going on is one more voice.
The Baseball thing. Easy Fix. Make two categories along division lines, post scores in each column. Add a header that essential says "due to MLB policy and laws governing regulatory bodies at the time these are two separate charts by two separate leagues. Noone can know what the scores would be had those seperations not existed, we still choose to include them because of the great contribution to baseball every division submitted." ANd ideally, "we apologize for segregating by race and since (Insert year here) we have strived to not divide teams by race but instead by ability." (Edit" fixing autocorrect)
I’m wondering if Taylor isn’t talking about it because she’s on a world wide tour. And if someone disagrees with her stance, it could get dangerous, like if someone were to take their anger out on an Eras Tour show… if you catch my drift.
She's spoken out against trump and his policies despite the fact that doing so could jeopardize her safety. If her intention was not alienating anyone or to stay neutral, then she shouldn't have spoken out against Trump or endorsed Biden during the 2020 election. Her silence just demonstrates that she has no empathy for the Palestinians.
What about she really supports israel? Or maybe doesn't care at all. She doesn't have a record of involvement in politics, why talk about something she doesn't know enough about or even care?
Hasn’t crossed the line? IS there even a line that could be crossed? I really don’t want to know what would have to happen for it going to far for them.
Thank you for reporting on #Rafah This crap is sickening those people have been chased around a little patch of land moved, bombed, moved, bombed, moved and bombed again.. What the actual fuck are we doing because it’s our ally doing this crap
If a school is going to allow religion in to their building, it must allow ALL religions, not just the ones they agree with. It is awesome to hear that the MLB will finally be properly updating all of their records to account for those leagues.
I just want to thank Philly D for these bit size news updates. I'm currently enrolled in graduate school and almost all the discussion posts require me to comment on a current event and without this I don't think I would have much to add in discussion. Papa bless.
For the story about Ukraine - if US weapons are okay to use against Palestinians in Gaza, they should be okay to use against Russia. Otherwise that's quite the chunk of hypocrisy going on.
Religious lawmaker said the quiet part out loud. They want to abolish the separation of church and state.
Yea, they've been more brazen with that the last few years, and they don't feel the need to hide their intentions anymore. Loud and proud
Said the quiet part out loud like the women from the car clip, or was that the loud part quiet
If they get away with this, they'll probably try to force every public school to teach religious studies next.
The Handmaid's tale is coming true.
You are aware that "the separation of church and state" doesn't exist anywhere in the constitution, right?
As a proud Black, Christian American, I am opposed to the Bill for posting the 10 Commandments in the school because it is a violation of the 1st Amendment. I think that by doing that, they would NEED to allow ALL other Religions to be posted, and that will inevitably cause problems. Always does.
This. As a pagan, it's super frustrating when I raise this issue and I get the excuse they're only focusing on Christianity because "to not include it would be discriminatory." As if they're not discriminating by not allowing other religions to be seen or celebrated. There's more than one way to show prejudice. Discrimination is the obvious one but there also unjust enrichment. When one group gets something (visibility, money, seats at the table, etc) that no one else gets, you are showing favoritism and being discriminatory against everyone who didn't get that favor. It makes me angry. Because you know if any other religion asked for this sort of acknowledgment, they'd be rejected. If I asked for the Delphic Maxims to be posted in schools, I would be told no because "not everyone believes in the Greek gods. Posting them would be forcing your beliefs on others."
And this doesn't even touch on how the people doing this don't realize that the reason why there is that divide isn't just that colonists came here for religious freedom. It's also because some of the founding fathers themselves weren't that religious. Jefferson was far less religious than many realize. He literally made his own edit of the Bible because he thought Jesus was better studied as a philosopher than worshipped as part of a divine being. Jefferson was far more of a deist or agnostic than what would count as Christian.
yea, the good news from my perspective as a wiccan and a practicing witch that pays attention within those communities is that the satanic temple will almost certainly get involved with a counter measure of some kind. love them
, it was a pleasure to read such a great explanation! Thank you for sharing. Also, people came here for religious freedom. The people who were here all had different ideas on religion. So it was. Separated from our government. Some of the founding fathers were Atheists.
@@AppleStrawberryLoveI completely agree. Other groups are never allowed to display their beliefs so blatantly in schools, only Christianity is accepted because most of the people in power are Christians, so they see nothing wrong with their unjust behavior.
I'm a Christian American and I wholeheartedly agree. The only way to ensure that Christians are free to worship how we want is to make sure the government can't impose upon or prohibit any religion to anyone, ever. Freedom of/from religion and protection of religion are the same.
I’m an oceanographer who works with deep sea data and with other deep sea scientists. One of the most terrifying points that an advisor pointed out to me is that the current plan for deep sea mining would dump sediment over the entire deep sea from about halfway through the water column, suffocating deep sea and mid sea organisms. This would also create so much noise in a layer of the water column that propagates noise very well, and is used by whales to communicate. If this was done in the proposed scale, there would be no place in the ocean where one couldn’t hear this activity…a truly dystopian concept…
My entire confusion on this ISA is precisely what the US is missing out on, here
As long as the US is not a signatory, what exactly is stopping it from issuing its own contracts for exploration or derp-sea mining?
I suppose the ISA could monopolize data and expertise by refusing to work with any company that contracts to non-signatories?
This would genuinely kill hundreds of of thousands of animals who rely on sound to traverse the ocean.
Deep sea mining for military prowess is the most disguising display of greed by humanity. I hate humans
@@jer1014t2th Ideally no one will be missing out on anything because we just 110% should not be doing it, the entire deep sea is a huge carbon sink that is hugely effective at slowing down climate change. Disturbing it would release that carbon back into the atmosphere as well as disrupting the entire process that stores carbon there in the first place. Deep sea mining makes as much sense as setting fire to every forest on earth and expecting everything to be fine!
@@jer1014t2th I imagine that the US needs permission to go digging in international waters from the bodies that regulate them. If you don't play nice you won't be let back into the game over and over again. Within its own waters? Whatever its heart desires. Without? That's paperwork overtime.
@@jplayzow
The entire point is that these international bodies belong to no one
Not even this regulatory agency
My college (none religious) had our honor code posted in each classroom and that made sense!!! The lawmakers pushing this don’t even follow the 10 commandments!!
If they can teach evolution than they can teach God. As a teacher I’ll tell u that’s how it works
The degradation of the separation of church and state is scary. I don't need someone else to validate my beliefs by forcing them on someone else. I hope and pray that we get these entitled politicians out before they completely destroy the US.
It's not about validating religious belief, it's about control.
Exactly. Plus it doesn't take much effort to go from this Christian idea must be in every classroom, to this is a Christian land and your religion is not welcome here.
Regardless the fact that the underlying messaging is basically the same.
@@FNLNFNLN ironically republicans are the one crying about school's leftist "indoctrination"
I'm an atheist but I've never cared if someone else wants to be religious. These kind of changes make me really want to start hating religion.
Yeah, the line blurring is seriously freaking me out. I thought this was something we had all settled a long time ago
On the Louisiana story, it really bothers me as a mother because I don’t think religion has any place in public school other than possibly teaching tolerance of other religions. We have specific private religious schools for exactly this reason!
My hope is that there's a strong backlash against all this religious extremism, as people's eyes open to just how dangerous dogmatic religious people are.

As someone who taught outside of New Orleans for 6 years, this law about the 10 commandments frustrates me. This legislature cut teachers stipends for next year, and the district I worked for couldn’t even afford trash bags for our classrooms. Yet they will expect schools to purchase a poster of the 10 commandments for every classroom. Absolutely wasteful for no good reason!

About Rafah, every time that Israeli leadership admits any wrongdoing, they downplay it by saying that they didn’t target the victims.
Every time they admit shooting against civilians, their investigations on the events always find something that makes the IDF innocent of any wrongdoing.
It happened with Rachel Corrie, with Shireen Abu Akleh, with the flour massacre, with the World Central Kitchen workers and countless similar situations.
I find it devastating. The poor Jewish people who where killed and kidnapped by a minority terrorist group. And I'm Irish so I understand how a people can lean end up being terrorist to help independence and free rights for our land. I just don't like voilenc. And the Horrific heavy-handed violence put onto people who where completely innocent. It has been used by an egotistical sociopathic Prime Minister or should I say dictator Benjamin Netanyaha. To do the most evil acts. And the long term trauma is going to be terrible.
The world needs to stop it.
And it's embarrassing the USA seems to be able to do notting about him. He is making Biden like he's lap dog.
funny how none of you naz's never condemn and even support Hamas.
I live in Louisiana. We rank the worst in almost every metric that matters compared to other states (education, healthcare, obesity, crime rate, etc.) Our politicians don't care about our residents. They put out stupid shit like this all the time (bills against transgenders, crack downs on libraries, bills about abortion, bills against diversity at universities, etc.) Our state needs to pay teachers, invest in healthcare, invest in childcare and youth. This bill is a stupid waste of time and money that will have no real benefit for any school children and it is a clear violation of separation of church and state.
Unfortunately I am not surprised...this is par for the course in Louisiana.
Crazy to me when people like her think it's the gays indoctrinating children when she wants to force religion on children. I grew up with gay people in my life and NEVER have had they forced me into anything . I was forced into the pledge of allegiance every day and saying " under god" when I don't believe in him.
100%
Teachers are paid by the county, gotta direct your frustrations at them. But yeah, this is the case with many bills past, they're about making the politicians look good to a potential voter base, not about making real change.
@MrSlowestD16 Too true. Sad and frustrating.
In Oklahoma same b.s. here.
As an atheist and a teacher, it is insulting that legislatures want schools to post religious texts. I would strongly consider civil disobedience to these laws that go against my own free speech.
Leave it up, but get bigger posters of all the other religions, including satanism
I’m hoping the Satanists will try to get some satanic laws up in school as well. That is often the only way to show these idiots what kind of Pandora’s box they’re opening.
Personally I'd put up multiple religious rules and guidelines, all made in different random sizes like an art piece around it. It'll just be 1 of many.
As a Canadian, it always makes me laugh when Americans say that there is a separation of church and state in the US. And then you hear about things like this.
I could understand if this was just in history and social studies class, but every call is not right.
Just a reminder, Louisiana was recently ranked dead last on the "Best States" list. *Again*. Instead of addressing any of the multitude of things that they are so far behind on, THIS was what they accomplished.
Because if they manage to get away with it in the end, they will be seen is a hero to the far right religious, and those currently serve on a state level of government, will have a name to toss into the federal ring, where the real money comes in (to their pockets).
Ranked lowest in over seventy different metrics(like education)
And yes, they've had a stranglehold on their state for decades, and made not a thing better, but jump at the opportunity to push their agenda down the youth's throats. Bigots
Clearly they don’t count football, so the list obviously isn’t legitimate
I thought the controversy of the "all eyes on Rafah" thing is that the image is AI generated, and it sucks that THAT is the only thing that seems to get people talking. Not the horrors of *why* we're keeping our eyes on it.
This!!!
What the fuck happened to the seperation of church and state
It doesn't exist.
It's slowly dying and that's just a scary thought
Republicans think they’re above the law & the rules don’t apply to them.
Yeah, it’s insane. Vote blue, people. Please.

I just wanted to say that Doctors Without Borders is such an awesome organization and the bravery of them putting their lives at risk for helping others is so admirable and inspiring. It's sad that several of DWB workers have died in air strikes/attacks performed by Israel.
It’s terrible and tragic but at the very very least…Israel was honest about it. Can’t say the same about the other side who constantly puts civilians in danger on purpose
@@leez4164Israel has also admitted to carrying out an air strike that caused the death of at least one of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas. It's clear that Israel also doesn't care about their own civilians (and especially not the lives of innocent Palestinians). Also, I've heard many people blame Hamas for this war but it's truly a conflict layered in so much history which I urge you to research if you have the time. The actions of Hamas can never be justified however it is unreasonable to claim that this war started at the hands of Hamas on October 7th when so many generations of Palestinians have been subjected to this oppression for decades. Peace and love ❤
@@tamzin.roberts Honestly, this war needs to end the way all wars end. One wins and rewrites history the way they want it to be seen, and the rest of the world goes "Oh, okay."
Theres a long tradition of this, and its pretty obvious the reasons why. Nobody is right, war isn't about being right...its about winning. Thats why we look at the Germans today and say "I know you didn't do what was caused in the past" instead of "Fuck you Nazi". They lost. They've moved on. We've all moved on. The only time we can't move on is when its STILL HAPPENING. Yes, people are going to die. Its fucking war. Every single government body to send soldiers to war has civilian blood on their hands. US, Japan, China, Russia, Ukraine, Spain, name one. Know how we get over it? We find out who won, go read their redacted history books, and continue with life saying "Oh, this is how it went", because THEY WON. Is it awful? Absolutely. Whats your counterplan to doing this? We can't just be killing eachother forever.
@@leez4164also its not "terrible and tragic" its a war crime, and Israelis always lie about the war crimes they commit before they are forced to admit to it.

It was interesting hearing that one comment about records being "broken." The records were white-washed. If a player had more hits than Babe Ruth and those scores weren't counted, that's not erasing scores/records, that's making them more accurate.
You could just read that tweet as "I'm upset that the white folks aren't the best anymore". Like dude, there's no need for the novel, just say you don't like black people
Think the main argument is they weren't playing in the same league so the opponents they faced were on a different level. It's like how high school football has different leagues based on school size. The best 1A school in any state would lose hard to a 4A school. Same game, different level of play.
@@N-oe347yeah but we know damn well at least half the “negro league” was at least on par with the skill of the MLB.
@@N-oe347but all the most talented black players played against them? It was the pro league just for black people
@@N-oe347you're right, not the same league. They were in an even harder league to compete in with little to no reasources
In Canada we have catholic and Jewish school boards. There may be others, but not in my region. When you are paying your municipal property tax you get to choose which school board gets allocated a portion of your taxes. Due to this, it is clearly understood that religion has no place in public schools.
Jesus, so not only are the religions tax exempt but in canada they get tax funded too? That’s insane
Oh good! I don't want my money going to either organization so I'll just keep it right here. 😂
@@RealBradMiller You gotta pick some sort of education, and as much as you might think you dont want it really think about a world where a generation of kids had no education. Even if you dont think about it from a personal viewpoint think about what it would do to your country when other countries are significantly more educated.
@@RealBradMillerthat’s not how taxes work sweetie
Got to love conservative priorities in education, Louisiana ranks 47th in the nation in education but sure posting the ten commandments is more important than making the education system better
And apparently more important then getting each kid in school at least one meal a day..
Make kids dumb and blind to religion and then say your party is religious...there you go..a whole generation of unquestioning voters that will vote for you you or attack people you deem as ungodly, etc. Which will be anyone you just dislike

As a conservative Christian, the 10 commandment story just seems WILD to me. For a group of people who harp on the constitution so hard, they seem to forget the separation of church and state.
Not actually in the constitution. That’s what the conservative base is leaning on. It was more of an opinion of Jefferson and other founders of the time. But they never actually put it into law and government. Honestly will be interesting how far they can push this bill, just to see how parties and politicians will use theirs base to push their own interests
@@inlandjet2891Do you actually not understand the Establishment Clause?
As a Christian, I don't mind it the ten commandments are far more important than the Constitution
@@deadboltzz5199- And that thinking is exactly why the country is currently going to hell.
@@inlandjet2891 The words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the U.S. Constitution, but the concept is enshrined in the very first freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Known as the establishment clause, the opening lines of the First Amendment prohibit the government from creating an official religion or favoring one religion (or nonreligion) over another.
My partner was an elementary school teacher in louisiana for 4 years before we moved to minnesota. He said if we were still in louisiana, he would have quit teaching. Cant imagine how many LA teachers are feeling the same way today.
I hate how blatant people can be with just not giving a shit about laws and more about having power, and people just don't see an issue. Literally, there is something about separation of religion and school, and they are trying to push one dude praying to himself at a game as to why they should force everyone to "proudly" display a religious set of rules you know for damn sure most of them don't follow in the schools for all ages.
That's what's crazy to me like schools have never banned prayer as long as it's not sponsored by a staff, anyone including staff can pray personally and students can set up group prayers if they want. So how was that dude having a personal prayer after the game even questioned and then to be used like this.
the US laws forcing schools to have the 10 commandments up in public schools seems so fucked up, the fact the US has gotten to this point where a LARGE portion of the government is deeply religious when the separation of church and state is literally a foundational law of the country makes no sense to me. i went to catholic school in Canada, and even worked for that school board for a short while, the only way you could tell it was a religious school was a small cross(15cm tall) on a random wall of each class and 1 or 2 small posters with a generic prayer in 1 or 2 common spaces like cafeteria or library. we had a wide variety of different religion kids in the schools and in the late 2010s the school board had even started looking at ways to accommodate non catholic kids better, like letting kids stay at school during the yearly easter mass or quite space for kids to pray or do other ceremonies for their specific religion. I just deeply do not understand how the US government can just slowly decay and become a puppet of the church with no checks or balances. if a small catholic school in northern canada can do better than the US government something has gone terribly terribly wrong.
SO MUCH of this behavior from politicians seems performative and quite hollow. The push to plant a Christian flag everywhere, so to speak, doesn't make sense to me...and I'm Christian.
Those are state governments and yes people are allowed to be religious inside of government even deeply religious. The separation of church and state is more so on the side of the government not messing with people's religion. However what they are trying to do is clearly in the wrong the government should not be mandating speech or spreading/favoring a specific religion.
As someone who has grown up in Mississippi this increasing lack of separation of church and state is beyond worrying. Kids already get indoctrinated at an alarming rate here. I had so much conservative propaganda shoved down my throat at such an early age and it lasted all throughout my time at school. I was a weird, bisexual, goth kid which made me a massive target for harassment and bullying from students and faculty. I literally got accused of witchcraft and got brought into the principal office for supposedly helping someone curse a girl. They had the joke of a spell and I asked if they had read the weight loss spells in there yet. Like it was nothing but those kind of light hearted spells. My friend gave it to me because I was curious about Wicca at the time. I could see the principal realizing that they had nothing they could do to me over it and they let me go. I would hate to know what they would have done if they had been allowed to act under their own beliefs. During my time at a private Christian school we were forced to black out any mention of evolution in our textbooks so we couldn’t even read it in our own time. The public schools brushed past the subject as well. I was shocked to discover just how much evidence there actually is for it. I was also had blatant misinformation presented as fact about abortion. Our sad excuse for “sex education” was also full of misinformation. We have to keep religion out of schools. I have seen the effects this constant misinformation has had on the people I’ve grown up with. Unless they’re born an outcast like I was they don’t ever learn about the truth of anything.
Damn, reading this is so saddening. I learned about Wicca as a teen as well. I guess luckily everyone was so up their own asses that they didn't know what it was where I lived. Just to clarify I grew up in a deeply rooted southern baptist household. I'm glad you didn't let them slow your role and succumb to their ignorance. Blessed Be my friend.
You have a mental illness. Just because you couldn't believe the truth about christ doesn't mean the rest of the world has to conform to make you feel good

Water: already way too fuckin warm
So a few things on the league skin:
1. RIOT claims this is supposed to be a celebration for players to take part in. Except that celebration starts at a minimum of $20, and doesn't include the Ahri skin.
2. When teams win Worlds in League, there's a set of skins released based on champions each player played that those players get to choose. Faker chose Ahri, but RIOT had him change to another character as they had these plans for Ahri. Fans have been waiting for the T1 (the team Faker plays for) Ahri skin for a long time now, and there's a sour taste in our mouths that the skin we've been waiting for costs a minimum of $50.
3. We've slowly watched RIOT keep pushing the envelope of what they can get away with when it comes to charging for cosmetics. This is just the latest (and by far the most expensive by a large margin) and it's building up a lot of disdain for a game and company we've all loved. It's like the Disney effect. Disney has been offering their consumers less but charging more for it. RIOT's actually been doing the same, increasing the cost of skins while also taking away things that make them worth that much, primarily new effects (they've reused effects to cut corners, and some new effects are just awful looking) as well as things like custom animations. They've been doing this for a while now and it's starting to hit all of the player base's tipping points.
There's more, but I don't want to type an essay. Long story short though is that RIOT has been steadily giving players less while charging more money for years now and outright lying to us players about what they can and can't do. We're just slowly watching the game and company we love degrade over time and it's extremely disappointing.
I mean the whole week leading up to this between the teasers and the videos, I was pretty hyped up. This was suppose to be a CELEBRATION of our GOAT. Instead it was just a massive cash grab. Leaves a real sour taste in the mouth.
The funniest part about the Faker situation is that Ahri is far from his most iconic champion. His signature champions are Ryze and LeBlanc, with Zed and Azir being other picks more well known than his Ahri. Riot chose Ahri because she’s much more popular than those 4 and will sell more skins.
They might have also chosen Ahri since Faker has said many times that he wanted an Ahri skin when won worlds, but never was allowed because of their own "rules" about which champions they can chose for their skin choice. And Ahri was never really they biggest meta pick when he won worlds or it was never a big champion for him those times
Fakers Zed is the most iconic of all time imho. I will never ever forget the "oh, Faker might be in trouble here - Death Mark - tries to clean it up for Ryu - OH LOOK AT HE CLEANSE, LOOK AT THE MOVES - FAKER - WHAT WAS THAT??!?!!!!? I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAW THAT!!!!!!...." Faker ascended from the mortal realm in that moment and became God.
Funny that they say the 10 commandments has historical significance while completely missing the fact that THERE'S MORE THAN ONE VERSION OF IT IN THEIR OWN BIBLE.
I like the version about coveting an ox or whatever.
I am so anti church that I covet the absolute fcuk out of every ox I see.
I mean bible was written by some randos. I don't even understand why every1 cares so much about it. I prefer fiction stories tbh, they are more grounded.

I don't know how to react about louisiana as an european. We separated the state from the church for good reasons... I know the US is more religious than europe, but I still see that as a giant step back :/
It's a pathetic display of cowardice. The United States might as well come out and say we have a national religion, instead of trying to puppet this "freedom of religion" bullshit
It’s a huge step back. I’m so disappointed in my country.
I think this is a small part of why we continue on not condemning Israel; there are powerful people in our country that want the US to also be an ethnoreligious state. At least, that’s my tinfoil hat moment.
I dunno, saying euorp seems like a stretch to me. The vatican is in europe after all :P
Since it's the internet, I want to be clear I'm just making a joke.
Baseball Reference already added the Negro Leagues stats. I'm surprised the MLB hadn't done it yet. And Ty Cobb's family were happy about it
Yeah, I was surprised to see this news... thought it happened a few years ago, probably because of how much time I spend on that website
I'm guessing it took a small team since the recognition announcement to gather and add all the old data to the official database, checking the receipts on each private league's games . Latest news is just their "Work done" announcement .
I think @ERB covered the Babe Ruth records thing pretty well 11 years before this whole MLB update. “You set records before black men could compete, are you kidding me? That’s like having a pasta contest without Italy.” Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong
Reminds me of situations like with Ichiro Suzuki, who already had over 1000 hits in Japanese Leagues before getting another 3000 in the MLB. Unless you are scholarly when it comes to baseball, you might never realize the depth of its history and cultural significance. Was super eye opening for me just how much talent was overlooked when I did a project about the Negro Leagues for a US History class back in high school.
Actually it was partially BECAUSE negro athletes were far and away better athletes than the MLB contingent as to why there was so much professional push back, on top of the other reasons
up on the mound is old curly. he's a 47yo alcoholic, he's the greatest athlete alive. Under 6 seconds 40 yard dash. Fastest man alive they say

Yeah but to be fair, they set *MLB* records. Not world records. Your comparison isn't really valid. It's like having an AMERICAN pasta contest without Italy, sure. That's where the problem lies. Whomever "ERB" is is only looking at one side of the issue.

@@ATHIP12 yes there are a lot of viewpoints him and his editors clearly do not dig deep on. usually about a news story per episode atleast. it can be quite frustrating because i rally want to like his attempt at non-bias reporting, but it mostly make sme feel like whoever is editing his scripts clearly is leaning a certain way and it sure isnt the Trump train. Im also not a fan of Trump or Biden, as long as they support Israel, give weapons that kill innocent children. I feel like that is an obvious "side with" issue that he hasnt yet fully spoken up on imo. I dont see him reporting enough corruption. It isnt necessarily how deep the team digs, its about where they are getting there information from. most of the time report well, other times they miss blatant corruption, or possibility there of. I get he wants to be more factual than opinionated..but when you miss important details..it makes viewers question your commitment to unbias reporting and how much your political and social views get involved in the work. We can see it. we watch you every day lol
Growing up, I always thought that the country was moving away from religion, but somehow that transition seemed to emboldened people to try to enshrine it in the one place we were all supposed to be safe from it. I remember thinking maybe we weren't far from getting mega churches taxed, and now I'm hoping they aren't integrated as another branch of the government.
It is moving away from religion. That's exactly why religious people have become much more radicalized and politically active. The country has been moving away from God for a very long time and certain Christians are very desperately trying to stop it. They should probably read the bible again though because it literally says all of this stuff is going to happen. It says wickedness will consume the world, people will shun religion, they'll take the mark of the beast (microchip implants) and worship the beast (technology) instead of God. The world Will abandon the idea of religion and God and worship satan instead. It's literally written in the script.
Personally I'm convinced that this is the very reason we're seeing this resurgence of religious political movements. Religious leaders saw a trend toward declining religious beliefs and coldly and calculatedly chose to pursue the modern religious politics to try and convince people to come back to church (and tithe).
It's not really a "growing up" thing, it's statistically true basically every year. But a small minority with some power is trying to push a hand that they've been waiting for for 50 years.
It’s great to see black baseball players being recognized for their achievements in baseball.
Happy to see Rube Foster, Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson getting their flowers.
The MLB integration story reminds me of the ERB between Lance Armstrong and Babe Ruth where they had Armstrong say
“You set records before black men could compete, are you kidding me?
That’s like having a pasta contest without Italy!”

Blaming Babe Ruth for that is kind of silly though. Like was he supposed to single handedly fix racism or something? Like he got cheated out of a fair competition as well....
In regards to the story about the League of Legends skin:
The thing about "just cosmetics" is that it is a social game as well as a competitive one. Having a more "premium" skin is something that people put their own personal value in and kind of use as a social currency in popular games. This is why Overwatch and Fortnite also have huge skin markets: It's not about just having the thing look cool to the player who owns and uses the skin, it's about a message that says either "look how cool I am in this skin" or "look how long I've been playing that I own this thing that's no longer available" or "look how much money I have that I can get the most expensive stuff"
The social pressure of not being a "default" (which if I remember correctly was a word used by kids to bully kids who still used the "default dance" in Fortnite) is a big part of being in the cool circles of schools, friend groups, or any other group that can exclude based on income.
That, and because Faker is such a well respected and liked player, Riot knows well that people are more inclined to splurge for it, even if the skin doesn't do things that would be worth the price tag attached to it.
I don’t see your issue. It’s incredibly easy to get free skins in league. Not to even mention most of them are pretty cheap.
Seeing Diddy and Faker in a PhillyD title together is WILD. League you fucked up now.
Fr I was like "EVEN PHIL IS TALKING ABOUT THE SKIN BS?!?"
Not as fucked up as his pronunciation of Ahri's name, lmao.
@@ZairUmbrasat least it isn't nearly as bad as as Asmomgolds attempt at saying Ahri 😂
Slight correction about the Ahri skin- we don't actually know how much of the revenue will be going directly to Faker. The FAQ only states that 30% will go towards his team/organization. While it's true that Faker most likely has one of if not the highest paying contract in esports, we have no idea what his cut is for this particular skin.
As far as the community outrage, Riot has been pushing the boundaries of what they can charge for cosmetics for a while now. Not long ago there was an incident where Riot released a $200 skin that was, essentially, a slight recolor of an existing one. Riot has been majorly slacking with cosmetics in general recently- the majority of skins released in the last few months had multiple reused assets from other skins and champions. They are continuing to raise prices while slowly reducing quality.
The battle pass system is also pay to win this time around. The pass for this event costs ~20% more than every pass before it, and it has 100 levels. To grind out those levels manually would mean playing league like it's a full time job for the duration of the event. So, to further inflate the cost of the $500 Ahri skin bundle, they made it so that buying the bundle automatically unlocks all 100 levels. This is by far the scummiest thing Riot has tried to shill to players, IMO. All of this content will be limited edition, never to be seen again, and so far it seems like there is no way to get any of it just by playing the game. Honestly, it's an insult not only to the community, but to Faker.
There's like a billion skins already, if they released a bunch of cheap "meh" skins you'd all be bitching that the skins aren't cool enough and not worth paying for. If you don't wanna feel like a dumbass whale spending money on cosmetics, then just don't. This coming from someone who played league for a decade and spent 2-3k total in that time on skins; trust me, it's not worth it. 🤷🏼
It's so hated by the community that people are actively banning Ahri in every game. If you bought the skin and supported Riots decision in fleecing its users, congrats, you don't get to use it.
Makes sense with all the layoffs
@@arctaexi feel like it's the opposite, this is the kind of corporate, gaming industry thing that seems baffling and frustrating. they laid off employees **and** they have to make decisions that seem like worse value for the customer base?
I think the major factor here isn't the skin price. IMO riot can price skins however they want. There is no real difference in value between a $10 skin and a $500. They are all "donations" to riot anyway.
What I think is scummy is the wildpass and that the skin is a limited time event (Why are the hall of fame skins limited, Fakers will still in the hall of fame 6 months from now). This makes it a FOMO situation and pushes it from an expensive luxury item into predatory marketing IMO.
Saying Diddy beats his partners because he has "abandonment issues" feels like shifting blame. You may not be responsible for your trauma, but you ARE responsible for healing it.
Fuck, I lost a parent as a teen and have a lot of issues around being issues, I could not even remotely consider hurting some one I love because of it. Using that as an excuse makes me want to vomit.
It is. Clearly. None of us get that excuse for our harms.

*I'm glad the MLB is revamping its records. First, I want to point out, that, cameras were alot more rare back then, and I hope recordings of games still exist, so that those of us who missed out, can watch some of these legencary players shine in their sport. My only (very slight) hangup is, though there's no doubt these players had talent and earned every stat, I'm wondering if the other players in that league were "up-to-par" and if those stats aren't slightly padded by lack of competition (playing against the Yankees etc), BUT, that said, that's the MLBs fault, not the players, and stats should be counted, AS IS.*
Oh they definitely weren't, the stats are definitely padded/biased which is why there's backlash. But many people (especially on a channel like this) see it as acceptable bias because it's happening "to the right group."
Saying the MLB is at fault for doing what was normal at the time is just ascribing present day morals/ethics/laws to a different era.
I’d say place them alongside eachother per year, mlb records right next to the nl ones at the end of the day, it was a different circumstance but to anyone who looks, they can hold pride that quite a few nl records are larger than mlb and all that
I have an interview with a company next week that pay 26 weeks full-time paid parental leave and has a free crèche for employees. The company makes billions, so the fact they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to supporting employees means I really hope I get the job!

I was reading today that a statistician used data from players who played in both NLB and MLB to create some kind of “objective” comparison and found that the batting talent was roughly comparable between NLB and MLB stars of the time, for what it’s worth.
Also ALL baseball fans should do themselves a favor and play through the NLB storylines on MLB the Show 23 and 24 - Bob Kendrick is an incredible narrator and shows such care and passion in how he tells the stories of these legends.
I''m an old Path of Exile player, a "free" game that you may have heard of. Every new league they have a variety of supporter packs that range from 50 bucks to close to 500 dollars (they currently have a supporter pack for $480). These supporter packs are mostly cosmetic and or provide some forum titles as well, although I believe the most expensive supporter pack typically lets you suggest some content for the game. For example, the most recent supporter pack allows you to suggest map designs that'll be used in a certain content in the next league, while previous ones allowed you to write custom text when opening a certain reliquary chest. The reason I bring this up is to show that there are other games with ridiculously expensive items or bundles, but as the name suggests, they are "supporter packs". They're to show your support for a "free" game. People who love the game, want to play it more, and are financially able to do so can support it as much as they want, at least it keeps a fun game going.
Right, I might think that to buy the 2.5k supporter pack that lets you decide some item later on is absolutely braindead, but I support peoples' ability to make that choice and feel good about it. If you feel like you're supporting, spend your money. If you just need need need, maybe don't.
Precision, the $500 pack is not each new league, it is each year so around 4 seasons. It also come with $500 worth of premium currency for the store on top of a long list of skins and real clothing items so it isn't just one skin, the value is way better.
@@ponytoast1231 plus you're supporting a smaller new zealand dev, not a giant chinese gaming conglomerate
The difference being that those supporter packs actually contain things that could be argued to have the value they're sold for and are not linked to or based on anyone that could strengthen the supposed sales value.
$500 for a single skin in a game made by a company that posted 1.5 billion dollars in revenue last year, versus $480 for ingame armour skins, hideout + decorations, ingame currency, forum title and frames, spell effects, pets, a soundtrack, a signed art pack, clothing merch and the option of actually adding something to the game. All to support a company that posted ~83 million dollars in revenue last year. They're not even close to being in the same dimension.
Tbf these last 2 480$ supporter packs have been just bonkers visually and content wise. Not to mention you can get them gradually and also you get credits to spend on other items.
Im well into 4 digit category simply because i love the game and how much they bring to table when compared to other games in this genre
Damn. That Putin statement was a slap to the face of European countries. He didn't even feel threatened enough to threaten the countries he shares a land mass with.

That's as cold as a Russian who spoke freely about his government.

The sad part is Europe will not be able to defend themselves. The Russians got a lot of experience fighting the vehicles of the EU that were sent over to Ukraine. If Russia crossed into Germany it would be a bloodbath the Germans can’t even organize and fund their own army famously failing at Basic procurement needs

And then when they do say something they only did it because they crumbled under the pressure of losing their following

If how they get their news about world events like this is from a celebrity posting it to their Instagram asking for help, that’s concerning in and of itself.
The first thing I did when I learnt about all of this in October was donate to charities specifically for Palestine, not cos I saw some celebrity post about it.
@@asdfghjk8876 seems my reply disappeared cos I wanted to add, why do those 400+ million followers need Selena or any other celebrity to give them the link for the gofundme for Palestine? Are those 400+ million followers incapable of finding it themselves when this all started? Cos they seem to be able to have Instagram just fine, but using the internet to search for it themselves is too hard? Make it make sense
The ten commandments bill is hilarious, especially when you consider most"Ten Commandments" plaques at State capitals were put there as a marketing stunt for the Ten Commandments movie with Charlton Heston. He was part of it.😂
Just ask the people who are for this name the ten commandments. They can't.
I am a Christian and a Theology Graduate. People don't know history nor the Bible but they speak like they do.
It was before Charlton Heston.
coming from the podcast version of the show to comment on the ukraine bit: how can western forces be putting limits on how Ukraine can defend itself with the supplies we send to them while Israel is allowed to bomb refugee camps with american bombs signed by former presidential candidates!? how is this the world we live in!? it’s disgusting
29:55 That editor's fake out at the end of the video... chef's kiss.
I have to say I was kind of confused about why everyone was posting the same "all eyes on Rafah" thing on instagram. Thanks for giving more context!
Where does he address that image?
@@Obie.it’s literally the second story
The irony of that is pretty funny
Low-key I didn't even know it was a trend, I just saw on my friends stories and wanted to spread the message, especially after this weekend.
It’s wild to me that someone could not know what’s going on in Gaza right now. I’m glad you know now though. Tell your friends and family who might not know.
As Katt Williams said “and Diddy is going to want to party, and you got to tell him no”
Diddy? yeah he did
The 30 minute shows lately have been awesomely insane of you Phil! Love ya
We do know how they fared. Negro League teams used to play the MLB teams and not only compete, but beat them regularly, I think even Babe Ruth and others played in the winter leagues against them as well.
I would like to add that Jackie Robinson wasn't even the best of the Negro Leagues when he broke the color barrier, and he was one of the greatest players ever😉
Can I say that when I watch videos in general and I see the editors having fun by throwing in jokes or putting in gifs that is always puts a smile on my face. So cheers to you PDS editors for always making me laugh and doing a wonderful job. You deserve the recognition for sure.
Listening to Phil pronounce Ahri's name really hits. xD
Seriously, thank you for covering this story. As a veteran League player, this new attempt at getting even more money is infuriating. This new Signature skin line seems to have started as a good idea to immortalize some of their biggest players, and has instead transformed into a yearly attempt to exploit their players with FOMO. Necrit has an incredible video on the topic.
LoL still has the best monetization of any f2p game I've ever seen since.
I feel like this could have been less of a blow if you got something physical like a statue of the skin or a cool displate cause. Imagine if you buy this skin and someone as a joke, get your account with that skin permanently banned, or your account gets stolen.
@@BigDaddyWes Warframe has them beat and it's not even close. Warframe has a thriving ingame economy- it is entirely possible to get insanely rich in the game without spending a dime. There are some cosmetics that can only be bought with real money, but all of those items were designed by players and AFAIK they are given a share of the revenue. WF has released some questionable bundles in the past, and is definitely guilty of inflating bundle costs with fluff items no one would typically purchase, but there's so much content that is completely accessible for free that it's hard to be seriously angry. The only things you can f2p grind for in League are champions and shitty lootboxes.
@@dragonsheen3049i dont get what the equivalent to "getting insanely rich" would be in league. Grinding for champions in League is the only thing that real money would help you avoid, and I basically never hear anyone complain that having to spend real money on champions is any kind of bottleneck on playing the game to its fullest. Besides that, I cant think of anything else that conceivably would affect gameplay costing any money, so idk what makes WF's model so much better in your explanation?
29:55 Well played editor... well played
Philip bringing back the “Chimp” takes me back to the golden age of the internet when every youtuber had an intro, those were the days...who’s with me?!!
Good Ole days before we all got old... who's with us?
Now he just needs to bring back the intro sing, Throwing Fire by Ronald Jenkees
Wanting to add my two cents to the Louisiana 10 commandments story. I live in Louisiana and work at a public university (I will not say where, don't want anything to happen), and frankly, the fact that our state values religion over people pisses me off. Our university is home to a diverse group of students, be they white, black, muslim, christian, athest, etc., and this just spits in the faces of those students who are not christian. If our country does not stop the progress of christian nationalists, one day, this will be a hypocritical theocracy and not the democracy that America claims to be
Phil trying to pronounce ahri is making my day lol
Ahhhh - reeeeee is hilarious
I haven't played in years and he's made it so I can't remember how to say it properly lol
Ohhh you got me so good with that last moment there :D I was finishing up work and listening to your video in a different tab, was about to save a text I was writing for a few minutes and then heared the video cut out, my heart stoped thinking I lost connecting and everything is not going to save. Thank you for the minor heart attack! Love your videos Phil!
Remember, gender discussions are inappropriate for kids. Also "Hey mommy, what does adultery mean? It's posted in literally every classroom in my school".
real
Only non cis het gender roles are inapproriate for children and abuse...you can over sexualized bombard of your children as long as it is heteronormantive the right won't care.
Exactly
Adultery being posted not a big deal, you learn it in Sunday school and has 0 impact on the kids upbringing lol
This MLB news brings me so much happiness... those families who told their stories of those men playing ball and never having any recognition. So glad this has been corrected. I hope to see more.
The thing that not a lot of average fans know is that there were a lot of baseball leagues that have long since been defunct before the MLB that we know today came about. There was the Federal League, American Association, Union Association, and Players’ League too. In 1969 a committee came together and recognized these leagues as well in the MLB records. Leaving Negro League stats out of MLB records, while recognizing those long gone leagues, would simply be an extension of the segregation of baseball.
Phil the problem with the cost of the skins is the dangerous precedent it sets for gaming companies who then take it as a green light to implement similar practices. We have seen this through all monetization practices. If there is only limited push-back it will end up in all games from F2P to AAA which will inherently incentivize game companies to put more effort into the expensive skins than the game itself.
Holy hell, the editor got me at the end! My heart skipped a beat at the thought of another technical issue 😂😂😂. Thank you for the laugh!
Minor clarification: a federal grand jury is the first step to bringing an *indictment* against someone. The other method of charging defendants with felony crimes is via an information, which does not require a grand jury (but it does require the defendant to waive their right to a grand jury). Both informations and indictments can also start as complaints, neither of which require a grand jury or a waiver of rights. Complaints will almost always turn into either an information or indictment, unless the defendant pleads down to misdemeanor crimes, but they are technically the most frequent way that prosecutors initially bring charges against someone in federal court. Source: I work at a district court, but sadly not the one where Diddy will be charged.
With the Diddy charges, even acts that are beyond the statute of limitations can be used to show a common motive, plan, or MO for charges that are not beyond the statute of limitations.
As a video editor I get that feeling. Whether it's an exporting glitch or just forgetting to unmute a clip from a long video, that dread of having to wait for it to re-render just sends chills up my spine xD
While one could argue how genuine people are when posting the image it certainly brings more eyes to it and leads to more people educating themselves and others about the horrific tragedy happening in Rafah
At this point, even if all they post is a few infographics, at least they spoke up.
I mean a good pr worker will tell you to post it even if you don't give two shits.
> horrific tragedy
don't start a war, don't face the consequences.
@@1birdwatcherrpretty sure those children who were burned alive in their tents didn’t start any wars
*murder happening in Rafah
Thank you so much for your reporting on Rafah and the move in celebrities supporting Gaza and it’s benefits for encouraging education about the history of the region and generating financial support for the suffering Palestinians.
We all see past the virtue signaling. No one ever brings attention to all the other children suffering around the world. Syria, Ukraine, Kenya, Pakistan? Hello? Anyone????
I’m just sad Phil failed to mention why the attacks on Rafah are resuming. Because Hamas is still launching rockets at Israel from Rafah.
I just don’t see many platforms mentioning atrocities in Gaza so I made my clear statement of appreciation. Y’alls two comments, ok rockets from Hamas, are you justifying your 100 billion dollar plus military dropping 2000 lb bombs on civilians because of Hamas’s sand lot resistance? And conflate all you want about kids suffering everywhere, I’m not denying that and your right on, all the children and suffering should and can be fixed, and we as humans will accomplish this, but I’m not virtue signaling, I’m following my heart in these times to come alongside the billions of others that stand against Israel’s oppression and smite it down…. Yes i said smite! Smite you!!!! Yah! 🫲
It's kind of difficult for Isreal to ever cross any line (let alone a scary "RED" line) when that line continues to move.
I am sick of it being framed as "side with isreal or palistine" as if the leadership of both are not the issue that is getting innocent people killed
Side with the innocents...and if you do that you will find that you have plenty of criticism for both the warmonging leadership of palistine and isreal.
@@memegazer "Both sides" is the wrong side in this one, we're not choosing which terrorists are better.
@@nimrodery
Call it what you want...but the reality is the leadership of both palistine and isreal need to resign and a three state solution with international mediation at least for now should be how this is settled without further bloodshed.
I call that bothsides bc bothsides of leadership don't deserve to be in power at this point and if they respected innocent lives they would step down imediately.
@@memegazer Or Israel could just respect international laws and people who have lived there for generations, and allow the people they terrorized to return as they were allowed to return. Israel was supposed to be a home for the Jews in Palestine not a state we fund to keep other nations fighting.
@@nimrodery
Or both the leaderships could respect international laws and step down bc their decisions are war criminal.
This about innocent lives...not preserving palistine or isreal leadership.
It doesn't matter at what point you speak out, you've spoken out. If we chastise those for taking so long to speak out we can end up alienating them. One more voice in protest to what is going on is one more voice.
The subtitles glitched @27:39 when phil said, I have to cosign, kids are expensive. The text says:
Yeah, I have tacos on. Kids are expensive.
😸
No money for clothes cuz of the kids XD
The Baseball thing. Easy Fix. Make two categories along division lines, post scores in each column. Add a header that essential says "due to MLB policy and laws governing regulatory bodies at the time these are two separate charts by two separate leagues. Noone can know what the scores would be had those seperations not existed, we still choose to include them because of the great contribution to baseball every division submitted." ANd ideally, "we apologize for segregating by race and since (Insert year here) we have strived to not divide teams by race but instead by ability." (Edit" fixing autocorrect)
Basically this.
Shoutout to the editor, that part at the end was holarious.
I’m wondering if Taylor isn’t talking about it because she’s on a world wide tour. And if someone disagrees with her stance, it could get dangerous, like if someone were to take their anger out on an Eras Tour show… if you catch my drift.
My thoughts exactly. She's always been very careful to stay neutral so as not to alienate anyone. She's using the royals politics policies
@@Whit-wy2owI wouldn’t say she is because she did talk about trying to get more into politics
This is my take. She doesn’t want what happened at the Ariana Grande concert to happen to hers.
She's spoken out against trump and his policies despite the fact that doing so could jeopardize her safety. If her intention was not alienating anyone or to stay neutral, then she shouldn't have spoken out against Trump or endorsed Biden during the 2020 election. Her silence just demonstrates that she has no empathy for the Palestinians.
What about she really supports israel? Or maybe doesn't care at all. She doesn't have a record of involvement in politics, why talk about something she doesn't know enough about or even care?
l'm glad Ariana Grande & Jenna Ortega did fundraising for Rafah and they are such awesome people in this world and great video Philip DeFranco :]
blind idiots
Hasn’t crossed the line? IS there even a line that could be crossed? I really don’t want to know what would have to happen for it going to far for them.
At this point, I think the only line that exists is "don't touch the boats". That, and maybe oil.
Love the random saxophone at the end
Thanks for Philling us in today
Thank you for reporting on #Rafah
This crap is sickening those people have been chased around a little patch of land moved, bombed, moved, bombed, moved and bombed again..
What the actual fuck are we doing because it’s our ally doing this crap
If a school is going to allow religion in to their building, it must allow ALL religions, not just the ones they agree with.
It is awesome to hear that the MLB will finally be properly updating all of their records to account for those leagues.
Nah the deranged thing about the Louisiana story is not the "allowing" of religious material in the building, it's the requiring of it
I just want to thank Philly D for these bit size news updates. I'm currently enrolled in graduate school and almost all the discussion posts require me to comment on a current event and without this I don't think I would have much to add in discussion. Papa bless.
Owning up to the silent girl getting into the car just made my year 🤣😂🙃
Ahahaha 😂 that ending was amazing. Editor deserves a paid day off for that one 😂😂
I hope everyone has had a fantastic week! And if not, I hope the rest of your week goes great 💜
Sweet person!
My week's been okay, but this weekend should be freaking lit. And I hope you're having a great time, too!
Regarding the audio mistake from yesterday, I listened to the podcast and the audio was present in that.
For the story about Ukraine - if US weapons are okay to use against Palestinians in Gaza, they should be okay to use against Russia.
Otherwise that's quite the chunk of hypocrisy going on.
