    Rooster Teeth employee here: We did not find out through social media. We had an all hands meeting along with an email. The company also did not shut down yesterday. Most all full time employees have 60 days as a wind down period. As sad as I am to lose this dream job, it has been a way better transition to unemployment than most other things I've seen in this industry. Much love to all my Rooster Teeth fam.

    Hi! Former Hill intern here- the people answering congressional phones are actually UNPAID interns - 18-22 year olds who still have hope that we can help change this country. We take abuse and crap from the immediate world and don’t see a cent. And it doesn’t guarantee a full paying job or anything. You didn’t emphasize ENOUGH how absolutely cruel it is to abuse the people on the phones on Capitol Hill. Hell, dealing with the public was a massive part of why I totally changed careers and am completely jaded on anyone’s ability to create change on a national scale through the legislative process.

I can't imagine the level of hate you guys got thrown at you working as unpaid interns for Capitol Hill. There should never be unpaid jobs that people have to work while still paying bills to live. Sadly it's just yet another way a capitalist society can force people to work for free or very little pay after the greedy lost slavery. It happens in jail too. Ppl there get paid pennies, yes actual pennies per hr, while trying to pay not only for the many things they need in jail that's not covered but also phone calls, envelopes, stamps, child support, and any money owed to the court or the victims. Things need to change. One thing I realized now that I'm getting close to 50 is that greed really is the root of all evil.

    I wish our (the US) government would put at least half of the effort they put into banning TikTok to limiting what data can be tracked (through social media and smart devices) and sold/used. It is a major issue and TikTok is part of that issue but all the major platforms do it. I also don’t like that the US can effectively target any company that they don’t have some control over. Honestly, starting to ban applications from “foreign adversaries” can quickly turn into banning things from places they don’t agree with ideologically. It honestly feels very much like the CCP and their control over social media.

    It's kind of mind-blowing that so many people still see sharks through the lens of a movie released in 1978. I just wrote a kids book on sharks focusing on the most current research and so much of it is about discovering/confirming that sharks have friends, personalities etc. And yeah, they are absolutely essential to healthy oceans aka a healthy planet. There are some great organizations out there working to protect sharks. But you (and that recent study) flagged something vital - shark finning gets most of the oxygen but there are so many other, bigger threats - including general over-fishing, bycatch, and all the damage we're doing to the oceans. But based on media reports you'd think the only threats are finning and a couple of ingenious orcas who are snacking on 'em in South Africa... Thanks for sharing.

      I’m sure many users will defend the app by saying how it brings awareness about things that they didn’t know before BUT realistically speaking, the same users are more likely to waste their days away doomscrolling, getting influenced to buy things they don’t need, or trying to partake in useless trends.

    My major in college was Environmental Science and a minor in Environmental Engineering. One of the projects I had to to was researching the importance of sharks on the environment and turns out, they’re super freaking important! A huge amount of CO2 emissions are absorbed by the ocean, more specifically ocean plant life and plankton. Much like the wolves, in Yellowstone, sharks help keep the fish populations in balance. Without sharks, the fish populations will grow and over consume the plankton that helps absorb emissions. Since corporations lobby so hard and campaign so hard to put the responsibility of reducing emissions to off set their pollution, we need all the help we can get. Trees are important, but wild predators are just as important.

The Maine shooter never saw active duty, but he DID train people to use grenades for a few years. Those constant close-range explosives essentially vibrated his brain tissues so much they started to break apart.
      This isn't to say a lot of veterans from Vietnam or Korea didn't also have this kind of brain injury, just that you seemed to be talking about psychological injuries, not physical ones.

    I hired a contractor. Despite an inspector from the city coming by, the contractor cut so many corners that it needs to be rebuilt AGAIN 5 years later. On top of that, the shoddy work they did has negatively impacted the rest of the house. Basically, I went from needing a $10k repair job 5 years ago to needing a $40k repair job now. And I can't even sue the contractor for what they did. 🤬

For anyone curious about trying shark meat, it contains way higher levels of mercury than other fishes sold at the supermarket due to the fact that they are a top predator and all the mercury from the fish they ate accumulates in their body. Eating it enough can noticeably raise blood mercury levels in humans. Leave them in the ocean where they belong!

      Any other country i might not be so concerned about... but China specifically has a level of control over EVERY company based in China, in which the government has the power to shut them down instantly if they do not comply, that it's terrifying and i would never feel comfortable leaving that much control over the public's perception in their hands and nothing more than their word that they aren't gonna use it to effectively mettle in things like elections and other seriously critical public interests

    Hell, the Author of Jaws, Peter Benchley, and Steven Spielberg have gone out to say they regret the book and movie respectively because of how much the fear of Sharks has caused a horrid decimation in their numbers.
    Sharks are so essential, and so important to the ecosystem. God it breaks my heart.

They can't come out and say that their primary use is to point to point encrypt data so that your local ISP can not track the traffic and report you for pirating content as they are required to do by law.

    I'm first-gen Chinese-American. Shark fin soup is a MUST for weddings and funerals. I became a vegetarian 11 years ago, and when I said I wasn't going to have meat, including shark fin, at my wedding (I was engaged), my family was furious. In Asian cultures, the wedding isn't for the couple getting married; it's for their parents. You invite all family and friends and friends of your parents you don't even know! But my partner at the time was also vegetarian, and that was a choice we made together for ethical reasons, and some of my family was PROTESTING MY WEDDING because of the lack of meat. For reference, not just shark fin, but all meat is part of the 9 or 12 course meal, each representing something different, like wealth, good fortune, and longevity. For reasons unrelated to shark fin soup, that engagement died faster than these endangered hammerheads.

    My big issue with the US making a bill to ban tiktok isn't just going to impact the States
    If companies like Apple aren't allowed to host the app in even just the States, that's going to ripple out, any of the app stores Apple hosts may get it removed. Not because somewhere like Australia will necessarily mimic the bill, but because Apple is still an American company, if tiktok is hosted on the app store in Australia, the bill, from what I've heard atleast, could still be argued to go "you're an American company hosting tiktok, we said no"

    Hey Phil, I just want to share some anecdotal evidence as to why you should be interested in low-flow shower heads especially. My fiancée and I are renting out of an old house with a tankless water heater, and for the first two years that we lived here we would have to wait a solid ten to fifteen minutes before each shower just to get the water up to temp, but even then we'd only have about seven solid minutes of hot water before the cycle repeated.
    My fiancée eventually got fed up with the terrible hot water situation and replaced our shower head with a low-flow head off of amazon that must have cost like fifteen bucks. Good lord has that thing been a life changer. Not only do we have hot water consistently in our shower now, not only does it take less than a minute for our water to heat up these days, but the shower pressure is stronger than ever.
    Turns out that flow rate doesn't necessarily correlate to water pressure. Go figure.
