@@EveryFairyDies Based on your reply, I'm assuming you're Dave, so first, thank you for your great writing! Second, the mention of mushrooms in OP's comment has motivated me to let you know that if you ever need or want any ideas for potential subjects to write about for Simon I can clue you into some of the many interesting stories, facts, and research subjects regarding the world of fungi as someone that taught themselves about mushrooms/fungi foraging and cooking by connecting with tons of mycology Facebook groups and gradually learning from reputable members about the fascinating world of mycology.

Aubrey Levin was my court ordered psychiatrist. I'm not crazy this is something that really happened!!! He had moved to Canada and was still practicing in calgary. He was the most disorganized psycho mess of a person. I had a rough childhood and was a very angry young person who didn't have any insight into my mental health. I made some bad decisions and ended up with court ordered psychiatric care. As a person who had already survived pray away the gay camp I was pretty messed up about who I am. He said lithium would keep my "nature" steady, which in hindsight is pretty disturbing
The more I hear about the messed up things that my government has done, still are doing, it makes me feel like my past pride in my country was just misguided and ignorant. They did so much stuff like this, it's insane. It's unforgivable
There isn't a government that hasn't done horrific shit. You just get to hear about yours. In others, they just kill everyone involved, and then those who knew about it, and those who took care of them.
@@rodericktimbs-pj2kyyeah as long as you pretend the millions murdered for us don't matter. And yes. I said millions. And I meant within the past 20 years. But yay oil profits are really good, right?
Holding our own government to account, can be a form of love for country. It helps sort those who truly care about the lofty values and ideals from those that just want power and one-sided loyalty.
When I was in kindergarten, some one decided that being near sighted was a weakness in the eye muscles. So every day the kids who wore glasses had to gather on stage and we were lead through a series of eye exercises. They were so frustrated that none of our vision improved and they decided that we were just doing the exercises wrong. So we'd sit in a circle and do the exercises and a teacher with a flashlight would come around and point it at our eyes to make sure we were doing the exercises correctly. We also weren't allowed to complain about the light in our eyes. I seriously hope those teachers led a crap life in the nursing home
Extra gold star to the editor for including Nightwish there! The song is Weak Fantasy, a song that is basically a complete denouncement of organised religion so it fits Simon's channel very well :)
My grandma is 70 and had no problem when I told her im bisexual or with my foreign, Muslim or my handicapped exboyfriend. Not all old people are narrow minded.

@@EveryFairyDies @skaerup I don't know how far "metal" you fine folks enjoy your music, but the band Nevermore also does an awesome cover of "The Sound of Silence" imho
My favorite color is grey...and purple but that was because my crush was crazy about that and I just pavloved myself into getting happy at the color because it reminded me of them. I like grey because it's an easy to find clothing option that somehow always looks nice. It also helps that my eyes gradually became extra sensitive to light and it's hard for grey to become too bright to look at when well lit. I went from a dumb kid that could stare at the sun without batting an eyelid to not being able look away from the ground when outside due to buildings and cars. Can't even look into the sky away from the sun without shielding some of the light. So yeah, hard to not make grey your favorite when it's the most abundant color that doesn't fry your eyeballs.

Also Simon: Has a job he likes, a ton of successfull channels, earn plenty of money (one would assume), has looks 9/10, has a wife and kids, are loved by a huge audience, provides knowledge to the people... Priorities, Simon - *priorities!* 😆
As fucked up as the subject matter is, this is one of the funniest/best episodes I've seen on one of Simon's 2,159 channels. Couple laugh out loud moments 😂
"Look, I'm not saying that it's great that my grandparents are dead, but it IS good for society!' I totally know what you mean, but I was laughing so hard at that.
To answer the question on whether blind people have better hearing, it's only sort of true. It's not like blind people's ears are any different, there is no increase in auditory signals or anything. That being said, blind people get far more practice at simply paying attention to what they are hearing (helped by the fact a greater portion of the brain gets devoted to auditory processing as vision drops to 0) As a simple example that anyone can try, walk down a sidewalk that is adjacent a fairly busy road that has a number of large objects in between the sidewalk and the road (ex. bus shelters, greater than head height vehicles that kind of thing). Walk along the sidewalk with your eyes closed (if the sidewalk isn't clear, get a friend to help so you don't hurt yourself) and pay attention to the traffic sound and how it changes. Besides the usual doppler shift, you should fairly easily be able to pick out the momentary interruptions in volume as the cars pass on the other side of the object. Congrats, you now know an object is present without sight or touch. This "auditory shadow" can be observed with any sufficiently large object in between yourself and any sufficiently predictable source of sound. It sounds like the simplest thing (and really it is), but people who are fully sighted almost never pay attention to it, even though they technically hear it.
I was listening to Simon’s releases today as basically podcasts as I shopped and when anti-biotic resistance from Into the Shadows transitioned seamlessly to “I Hate Cock!” My laugh caught some strange looks.
Number one - dying at the paraody of the very racist Pauline Hanson Number two - I agree with Dave - best time to be weird. I do wish people would stop asking me how I work after working with me for two years and THEN finding out I'm autistic though. Do you all think I'm bad at my job?
In many cases, a control group for a medical study isn't not treating them. The goal is usually to show the new treatment is better than the old treatment, so the control is a group given standard care. The main exception is if the risks to the patients are minimal (like the common cold) or there's no current treatment (like rabies post symptoms, since the only treatment that was thought to work has since been shown to be ineffective).
