For the issue of "Staying after we close" - I legit asked a manager about this. Apparently in a lot of places - especially fast food - the lobby is considered a "public space" and we actually aren't allowed to kick them out if they're doing nothing wrong. I always thought that was weird. I remember that we closed at 11:30 pm - and there was one group that stayed til like, 1 am and we were like > > ... - like we couldn't even finish closing because we were NOT ALLOWED to clean near customers with the stuff we used to sanitize at the end of the night. So you could close only half the dining room. They even got MAD when we locked the doors [still able to be opened from the inside without an issue] and did literally ANY closing stuff [even in the kitchen, away from them] because we made them "Feel rushed" and "like we wanted them to leave" ... okay? But we closed TWO HOURS AGO - yes we want you to leave. We want to go home. We're not putting off cleaning duties for TWO HOURS just so you don't feel like you're "Being rushed" - you haven't had food on your table for over an hour and are just sitting there. From what most of us can tell, you're not even talking and you're CLEARLY not waiting for any of us on shift to get off and even if you were, sit in the booths where we don't have to do anything to close them down like tables where the chairs have to go on top. So yeah, seriously. Not only don't do this [like it happens sometimes when food is delayed and you wanna finish your meal. Finish, you don't have to rush, but EAT do not sit and chat and slowly finish your drinks. Eat, pay, GTFO] - but don't just chill after you're done. And don't act ANNOYED when you KNOW the place is closed, has been for at least an hour, and you don't want anyone to even TRY To close down until YOU'RE ready. Even if you're going to sit there awkwardly while all but the dining room lights go out and everything is cleaned, that's on you at that point.
You couldn't kick someone out who insisted on being there for over an hour when your store was closed? That's insane. City parks are public spaces. They close, and where I live those closing times are enforced by local authorities despite there being no employees there that need to kick you out before they can go home. A friend of mine and I were once playing Pokemon Go in the parking lot of a public park at around 9pm (at a time of the year where it's full dark by then). I'm pretty sure I'd seen the sign before that said the park closes at sunset, but I didn't think about it since we didn't get out of the car nor were we planning to be stopped for very long. We were there for maybe 5 minutes before a cop came by to tell us that the park was closed and we needed to leave.
@@elliso.9078 Legitimately this is what we were told. We weren't allowed to kick them out because out lobby was "Public Space". It never made sense to me but I do know a manager once kicked people out an hour after close and was written up for it because they complained.
It fucks me up that there are people like that. I remember several years ago my roommate at the time and I would go to this one McDonald's nearby every day because we didn't have any internet at our apartment, and one night as we were getting ready to leave, her laptop decided it absolutely _needed_ to do a Windows Update right at that exact moment. We had to stay for like half an hour past closing while the update downloaded and installed and as you can tell from this having happened 9 years ago and me still remembering it that is a key memory for me, deeply ingrained into my soul. I remember being like "I used to be a nursing home janitor and she used to work at a different McDonald's, we know what all these cleaning chemicals are and how to use them safely please let us help" but they weren't allowed to let us :(

I’m super introverted, being around my friends actually kills me even though I love them, but I always smile and be kind to people; especially kids. Kids deserve a smile and a little sparkle of magic in their lives.
7:08 I didn’t realize in the moment that this thing could have very easily killed me, but when I was literally trampled by a horse after falling off. Multiple times. I got a concussion and some scrapes and bruises but that was it. I don’t know how having a horse step on me while galloping didn’t at least break my arms or some ribs or something.
My brother tried to ride a horse at a birthday party. The horse knocked him off. Horse chose this moment to lay down and try to roll over. Brother is luckily still alive, didn't get hurt at all.
7:09 When my horse and I had a rotational fall (basically horse does a somersault and almost always lands on the rider) Luckily we were just cantering, and I was up out of the saddle (like a racehorse jockey but less dramatic) because that's how he is most comfortable to canter. This very likely saved my life, as I was flung right over his neck, and it was fast enough where I didn't have time to brace. I somehow landed on my shoulder instead of my neck, and just rolled a bunch of times into a newly sown feild. HORSE WAS FINE TOO! he also fell/ rolled into the feild! He was 30 at the time so I was terrified he had broken something, but he came out of it with only a few scrapes and bruises. Unfortunately that was the first sign of his coordination going, so he was retired from most riding after that (he still enjoys walking around the flat arena with my friend, and ONLY that one friend, otherwise he'll put you in the ground) For anyone wondering, yes he IS my profile pic. He's 34 this year and doing well!
14:01 I was occasionally that guy when I was in college. I'd get off work at 9:30 and I was hungry/feeling lazy. I lived about 10 minutes away from work and there was a Subway about a quarter mile from my house that closed at 10. I'd go in and tell the guy, "I'm 100% serious about this, I know you're getting ready to close, I will in no way be upset if you say no. Is it alright if I grab a sandwich?" Every time they'd say it was fine (and they seemed to have a decent system for making sure not much got messy while they were prepping it. I wouldn't dine in at a place or do something where there's actual cooking involved, but there they're just tossing the ingredients on the thing in front of me and it was still 20 minutes until close so I didn't feel too bad. That being said, if any of them had said they'd rather I come back the next day, I'd have had absolutely no problem with it. (It also wasn't something I did regularly, probably once every 6 months to a year).
If I want to start a fight at my family dinner, I tell all my family (bros, sisters, parents, all whom are conservative Christians) that abortion is a vital service that shouldn't be banned.
"People who choose to be kind every day despite not receiving any kindness back, what motivates you?" A long list of things, from knowing that everyone is equal, you have no right to hurt others or cause harm, the simple fact that if I was in their position and I was receiving the actions, how would I want to be treated/how would I feel if I was treated poorly. The most prominent reason, however, is that I grew up with the entirety of my life feeling no one I interacted with, family or otherwise, didn't truly care about me, and I felt like I couldn't talk about specific things I felt or thought. I didn't have a great childhood, and I suffered a lot and had been in a dark place. I felt truly alone as I dealt with the negativity I faced day in and day out. However, I did not end up like a lot of other people: instead of being resentful or bitter, and wanting everyone else to suffer or feel my pain... I decided to dedicate my life to making sure no one feels like they have to face the shadow alone. My goal in life is to change as many lives for the better as I can.
19:41 group final assignment week in uni. Our group were trying to finish our assignment one Sunday and we were about 5 hours in. Someone said something funny, I couldn’t stop laughing for an hour
19:35 Not that it's simple, but I just find it hilarious when I make my close friends uncomfortable. Like I asked my friend if they wanted to see my dog, and when I showed it to them I was like "yeah, they died...". They did that little, "oh.." and for some reason whenever that happens, I just burst out laughing. Or whenever I say something shocking that makes someone freeze. An example of that is when I was eating with my friends, and one of them said "People should talk about controversial opinions more!" so I yelled out "Death penalty!" and two of them just froze mid-bite. It's not simple, but it does make me feel like I'm losing my sanity.
14:53 I want to be someone who might make someone's day. Once, I was sitting beside a lady on the train who looked straight-up miserable so I gently tapped her shoulder, asking if she was in pain. A few moments afterwards, she started crying. Turns out, she just had a miscarriage and just needed someone to be there. Ever since that day, I promised myself to be the better person every chance I got. Also because I want to give back the kindness I have received in the past.
19:38 I remember a while ago, I wrote a small story about a moment like this, so I went and found that, and I’m going to just copy/paste that here (without editing it): *keep in mind that this is written in the context of when this actually happened, which was almost a year ago. I just am too lazy to edit the whole story, so I just copy/pasted.* Also, TL;DR: I fell backwards off my bed while trying to close my door using a ruler because if I stood up my stomach cramp would get worse. I have had a stomach cramp that gets worse when I stand up for the past two hours or so, and have been laying in bed. My brother came into my room, and then. Left. The. Door. OPEN. So I waited for him to get back upstairs. I then grabbed a ruler from my backpack (which was on my bed), scooted myself to the corner of my bed, held it between my toes, and used it to push the door mostly closed. HOWEVER, I wanted the door FULLY closed. So I switched the ruler to my hand and turned myself around. I was laying on my back, and I reached out - with the ruler in my hand - and tried to close the door fully. But my arms weren’t long enough to to reach. So I ended up sliding slowly off the corner of my bed, with a ruler in my hand. I ended up just falling off, but I must have hit my head or SOMETHING when I fell, because I then laid on the floor with my legs on my bed and proceeded to laugh uncontrollably about it for the next three and a half minutes. And yes, I got the door closed.
The best I have found to keep neighbors at bay is to over garden (I grow veggies in my front and back yard and tell people to come get free onions or zucchini. You have to make them take the veggies sometimes)or wear your pajamas outside of the house. I walk me dog in my bathrobe. People say Hi! Then run for the door. We have a neighbor that has keys to our door and we have a key to his door. We all are in our late 50's and 60's. We each have a dog so we keep an eye on each other. Our last house Exploded at 4:47 a.m. So we are very glad to have neighbors at all. Yes all 3 of us got hurt. Me, Husband and our dog but we are all healed and happy now.
17:50 - It's more so phones being in contact with other phones. They combine ads, browsing history, location history, 55 more types of history and put it into ad sense. So it might not hear you talking, but it knows you're visiting a friend who just got one so it theorizes that you might talk about it.Thus, ad about it.
9:59 How little time a few hours actually is/how small numbers really are. Ex. You don’t think 5 minutes is a long time, and you don’t think 6 is a big number, but 6 sets of 5 minutes is 30 minutes, which looks and feels longer than it actually is. Time is weird. 10:53 A curtain rod, the vent in the floor that leads to darkness, or straighten it and put it in the space a book spine has when the book is opened. 12:00 When guillotines were used, sometimes the blade would not cleanly sever the head off, so it had to be dropped again. I think one dude had the blade dropped on him like 5 times. Oh yeah, and the head remains conscious for 10-15 sec after decapitation, so they could feel the pain.
0:52 Right, depends who I’m with. Changes a bit. My mom’s side? “I’m a witch.” My dad’s side? “I have had more lovers at once than half the people here have in a lifetime.“ (though I suppose it’s good? To not have many lovers in your lifetime, I mean. Loyalty. Also the relationships were all open/Poly and everybody was fine with it so don’t worry. Not mentioning that could create serious chaos though.) (side note, this could also work on my mom’s side)
Theory that you mic is always "hot": A more likely expalantion for the problem would be: Your collegue looked up standing desks on his work pc or over the work wifi. Before you knew he ordered one you just didnt notice because its "just another ad" Example from my life: I am a privacy oriented person and I NEVER get ads targeted at me. However my sister was looking for "refurbished Iphones" on our wifi so everyone in our wifi gets targeted ads for Refurbed Iphones (its because those websites only see the address of your network). I have the same refurbed ad since 3 months and I am going crazy, I am thinking about activating the collection for targeted ads, just so I get rid of it.
@@haroldwilkes6608 no thats my point, I am a pessimist, anti bigcorp, all the stuff. However its impossible to hide thinks like that from eyes of hundreds of thousands of it specialists. (and certain open source tools ). They coul'd but they won't. An article like "bic corp X listens to you 24/7 and sells it to the highest bidder or the police" will have some backlash (namedly CIA thanks to Mr.Snowden). some questions you have to ask is: -If google records you 24/7, why doesnt the government force google to give them infos with criminal cases. -There are 2.5 Million active android devices according to google. If they where to record (and process) the audio of 2.5 Millionen devices additionally to their normal work theyd be better of mining crypto. (One hour of everyone would eqal to 107 Billion Megabytes). So a plain recording wont cut it. -Lets think like a corp rat, what would be a more efficient way to do this: "hmm in the modern day and age people "google" products before they buy them and we make money advertising those products. Why should we possibly break law and use all that work, if they literaly send us what they want every fucking time in plain text." The TLDR of that is: If you allow them to do it and they are able to do something with it, they could take it.
@@Weeblon In the 50s-60s, some thought their TV was listening to them, in the 20s-30s they thought their radios were. But in those days if you turned a machine "off", it was off, today, not so much. Most houses and cars have phantom power losses, "off" items that are on standby, called parasitic drain. What has changed today is the "cloud", huge storage farms both government and civil plus the vast increase in computer/internet speeds. Although I agree the data is too vast to store everything, targeting key words or phrases is quite probably being done, NSA specifically. But most of what the "desk" thing was about is transient, google something and it's noted in a cache or a cookie as a subject of interest for a short period of time, then erased. 1984 isn't quite here yet.
Oooh, petty hills I'll die on: Please rinse dishes off before putting them in the dishwasher. They don't need to be sparkling clean - that's what the dishwasher's for - but a quick rinse will typically reveal any stuck on food that clearly _won't_ come off in the dishwasher, which needs to be scrubbed first. And speaking of, why would you put cups or bowls _face up_ in the dishwasher? Like, how does that make sense? It's just going to collect nasty water! Also, if you're washing dishes by hand and setting them out to dry, _for f's sake, don't just put cups and bowls face down flat on a dish towel!_ They have no possible way of drying off, because the water has nowhere to go, so when I go get one of those cups it smells musty and vile.
Huh... I've always put cups upside down to dry and never noticed any smell or anything. Also I've never owned a dishwasher and they sound kind of useless... ffs if I've already gone to the trouble of rinsing the dish I might as well wash it by hand
Recently my mom got a brand new dishwasher, and my father-in-law specifically told us not to rinse the plates before putting them in. Sure we empty whatever is left in the garbage can, but don't rinse it afterwards. Turns out, there's a compound in the dishwashing soap that's made to remove grease on the plates. If you rinse off the plate, it removes the grease and the compound ends up in the bottom of the dishwasher, accumulating over time. Eventually it'll stain the dishes. Now, it won't show much on plates, but whenever you look at old glasses that seem a bit cloudy and stained, you'll think of this comment :)
Used to work retail. At a couple different places, you can mute the machine. Also, the numbers on the fruit and vegetable stickers are pretty much the same kind of numbers on barcodes. They're close to universal, at least for where I happen to live, so if you get sick of clicking through for the dragon fruit with nothing but a number on the sticker, just type in the number. (Note that this does work for barcodes on cash registers, but not on self check outs. However, this does mean that you can read off the twelve digit number to the cashier if your twelve pack of soda won't scan.) Lastly, I do know that the latter is probably just a hair more useful to know about, but I hated the voice they gave for the self check outs I had to deal with.
19:34 Yes. when i was hanging out with my friend we tried to do something aesthetic (for a pic), so we decided we were going to something related to water, we find this cup on the ground and saw a puddle (it was raining before), so we thought we could scoop the water with the cup and 'throw'(?) the water like one of those pictures. so we did, but the moment the water splashed on the ground, i started dying of laughter (cause it sounded like a pee splash, im really immature in humor) then i piss myself, ran home, found new underwear and pants, and i was STILL DYING. I really adore these moments with my friend lmao
7:08 one time at a playground I was standing on this seesaw, and it has two seats on both sides with bars. I lost my balance, and I thought I would break my back on the bars, but I landed perfectly on the other seat. So relieving.
The funniest thing to me with the Karen parents question is that most of them were upset about something that affected their kids even though the kids really don't care.
"Have you ever laughed so hard..." Yes. So there's this Em Kay video where Jack is narrating. "All reality is cake" or something along those lines and I just lost my mind.
On the paper clip question: I'd stick it on the inside of my dog's collar. She hates when you try taking it off, since she knows that means bath time, and she'll run away. Also, she's super cute, so that would be a great distraction.
Not really related to the question but I actually know one of the actors from the Expanse. He was an actor at a local theatre and my family sponsored him. He plays Erich and he’s a great guy
12:25 about the intestine part, yea, or the most part, yes they don't have worry too much. but, problems occur when the small intestine is twisted before connecting it back to the large intestine; nothing from the top can go down and nothing other than surgery to correct it will solve the issue...
My mom has worked as a nurse for many years. She worked as an ER nurse, then went to on-call/hospice, to a covid nurse. Now I'm not entirely sure what she does. I know she's still a nurse. My point is, she told me once that at one of the hospitals she worked at, she saw them 3D print an organ. So, we're already at that stage in medical science. And, as someone who has had many surgeries, I think that's cool as hell.
@Sarafina Summers Probably. There was also the story of tbe guy who lived for I think three or four months with a robotic heart. He had a backpack that he had to wear constantly that had a machine in it that preformed everything his heart was supposed to do. Because his actual heart had stopped working and died.
18:26 So ur probably thinking the (fake) missile alert wants that bad right? NO. IT WAS FUCKING TERRIFYING. I lived in an apartment at the time and I freaked so much I rushed down 35 flights worth of stairs. I thought I was going to DIE. it was lowkey traumatizing and I still get flashbacks when we have monthly siren testing
The room thing. I don't think I'd make it. But I would try, I'm sing alot. Probably figure out some way to do art. I'd also leave some crumbs of food by the door to invite a mouse in. I could also use my silverware to make a small hole in the wall as a second way for my new buddy can get in and out. I would befriend this mouse and train it to do tricks.
22:25 I'm not a professional but I'm known for being the "artist kid" in my friendgroup/age group and you will not believe how many times I've been asked "Oh your that artist kid right?? Draw me/draw me a picture" Btw I'm a people pleaser so I usually say yes then never do it :/
We got to know my across the street neighbour because our dog would sometimes escape. He has a dog and a big fenced in backyard so when he would see us trying to lure our dog back home he would come outside with his dog and use his dog to lure our dog into the yard to play.

As an X financial adviser, we are not wealthy because we are limited to what we can do. I had so many limitations put on me at my job that I felt I was trapped to always be an employee. Also, do your own research. I KNEW that high inflation was coming for years but I was forced to prepare retirement reports showing 2% inflation. Even if the average is 2%, if the first 2 years of retirement you're at 10% you are royaly screwed. I couldn't even mention high inflation to them. It makes me sick to think of all the people that retired because I showed them a report showing them that they were good to go. Use an adviser to do the work of moving money and calling people, ask them about how things work but don't invest in anything to YOU don't understand yourself. Do your research. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk. Lol
7:07 my middle school once went on a huge lockdown because there was criminal activity in the area they had cops circling the school to make sure nobody gets in and at the end a teacher was supposed to tell us that we we’re safe the thing is the teacher trying to get in so they could tell us we’re safe forgot he had keys and just pounded on the door that pounding made my mind go HOLY FUCK IM GONNA DIE luckily nothing happened but that’s the scariest shit that ever happened to me
Pettiest hill to die on: that stupid debate the french have over "chocolatine" or "chocolate bread". Little bit of context: I'm french canadian so I heard of it but am otherwise uninvolved in the argument. Some in France believe that this flaky chocolatey pastry you'd eat in the morning is called "chocolatine" while others call it "chocolate bread". Welp, apparently it takes someone from Québec to remind them that these two appelations are TWO DIFFERENT FRIGGIN THINGS!! The flaky pastry is a "chocolatine" while chocolate-flavored actual bread (you'd see some at Starbucks I guess) is chocolate bread!! Thanks for coming to my TED talk. *drops mic*
3:06 this sounds like some dude who figured out a lil “hack” to sleep in a room for free and didn’t account for tenants who would actually feel safe enough to not check that their windows are locked. That or some horny dude who was tryna sneak into his nighttime partner’s room without being spotted
I'm nice to people STRICTLY to make them feel bad for being mean to me. If you're nice to me and I'm nice back, know it physically pains me to do so. Suddenly I understand my niece's odd behavior...

Unfortunately that was the first sign of his coordination going, so he was retired from most riding after that (he still enjoys walking around the flat arena with my friend, and ONLY that one friend, otherwise he'll put you in the ground)
For anyone wondering, yes he IS my profile pic. He's 34 this year and doing well!
0:45 as a person who plays both games, i am personally going to shatter myself into a million peices and mail one of them to brandy
Randy... did you say "Is that a Roblox joke?"
...
...
i'm pretty sure it was satire but i don't like him either way brandon is just annoying
a part of my soul just perished as he uttered those words.
2:24 as someone who did lose a friend when they were 12, yeah, it’s a horrible thing to go through and I’m glad their friends was ok
14:01 I was occasionally that guy when I was in college. I'd get off work at 9:30 and I was hungry/feeling lazy. I lived about 10 minutes away from work and there was a Subway about a quarter mile from my house that closed at 10. I'd go in and tell the guy, "I'm 100% serious about this, I know you're getting ready to close, I will in no way be upset if you say no. Is it alright if I grab a sandwich?" Every time they'd say it was fine (and they seemed to have a decent system for making sure not much got messy while they were prepping it. I wouldn't dine in at a place or do something where there's actual cooking involved, but there they're just tossing the ingredients on the thing in front of me and it was still 20 minutes until close so I didn't feel too bad. That being said, if any of them had said they'd rather I come back the next day, I'd have had absolutely no problem with it. (It also wasn't something I did regularly, probably once every 6 months to a year).
If I want to start a fight at my family dinner, I tell all my family (bros, sisters, parents, all whom are conservative Christians) that abortion is a vital service that shouldn't be banned.
"People who choose to be kind every day despite not receiving any kindness back, what motivates you?"
A long list of things, from knowing that everyone is equal, you have no right to hurt others or cause harm, the simple fact that if I was in their position and I was receiving the actions, how would I want to be treated/how would I feel if I was treated poorly.
The most prominent reason, however, is that I grew up with the entirety of my life feeling no one I interacted with, family or otherwise, didn't truly care about me, and I felt like I couldn't talk about specific things I felt or thought. I didn't have a great childhood, and I suffered a lot and had been in a dark place. I felt truly alone as I dealt with the negativity I faced day in and day out. However, I did not end up like a lot of other people: instead of being resentful or bitter, and wanting everyone else to suffer or feel my pain... I decided to dedicate my life to making sure no one feels like they have to face the shadow alone. My goal in life is to change as many lives for the better as I can.
Well said. "Leave things better than the way you found them".
@@rebeccalembcke5365 that should be the goal of everyone who has the ability
3:38 YES GRAVITY FALLS IS THE BEST!!
19:41 group final assignment week in uni. Our group were trying to finish our assignment one Sunday and we were about 5 hours in. Someone said something funny, I couldn’t stop laughing for an hour
19:35
Not that it's simple, but I just find it hilarious when I make my close friends uncomfortable. Like I asked my friend if they wanted to see my dog, and when I showed it to them I was like "yeah, they died...". They did that little, "oh.." and for some reason whenever that happens, I just burst out laughing. Or whenever I say something shocking that makes someone freeze.
An example of that is when I was eating with my friends, and one of them said "People should talk about controversial opinions more!" so I yelled out "Death penalty!" and two of them just froze mid-bite.
It's not simple, but it does make me feel like I'm losing my sanity.
You just sound like a fun dude
19:34 I had a dream where I wrote the letter E with an extra horizonal line.
That was the first time I woke up laughing.
14:53 I want to be someone who might make someone's day. Once, I was sitting beside a lady on the train who looked straight-up miserable so I gently tapped her shoulder, asking if she was in pain. A few moments afterwards, she started crying. Turns out, she just had a miscarriage and just needed someone to be there. Ever since that day, I promised myself to be the better person every chance I got. Also because I want to give back the kindness I have received in the past.
19:38
I remember a while ago, I wrote a small story about a moment like this, so I went and found that, and I’m going to just copy/paste that here (without editing it):
*keep in mind that this is written in the context of when this actually happened, which was almost a year ago. I just am too lazy to edit the whole story, so I just copy/pasted.*
Also, TL;DR: I fell backwards off my bed while trying to close my door using a ruler because if I stood up my stomach cramp would get worse.
I have had a stomach cramp that gets worse when I stand up for the past two hours or so, and have been laying in bed.
My brother came into my room, and then. Left. The. Door. OPEN.
So I waited for him to get back upstairs.
I then grabbed a ruler from my backpack (which was on my bed), scooted myself to the corner of my bed, held it between my toes, and used it to push the door mostly closed. HOWEVER, I wanted the door FULLY closed. So I switched the ruler to my hand and turned myself around.
I was laying on my back, and I reached out - with the ruler in my hand - and tried to close the door fully. But my arms weren’t long enough to to reach.
So I ended up sliding slowly off the corner of my bed, with a ruler in my hand. I ended up just falling off, but I must have hit my head or SOMETHING when I fell, because I then laid on the floor with my legs on my bed and proceeded to laugh uncontrollably about it for the next three and a half minutes.
And yes, I got the door closed.
The best I have found to keep neighbors at bay is to over garden (I grow veggies in my front and back yard and tell people to come get free onions or zucchini. You have to make them take the veggies sometimes)or wear your pajamas outside of the house. I walk me dog in my bathrobe. People say Hi! Then run for the door. We have a neighbor that has keys to our door and we have a key to his door. We all are in our late 50's and 60's. We each have a dog so we keep an eye on each other. Our last house Exploded at 4:47 a.m. So we are very glad to have neighbors at all. Yes all 3 of us got hurt. Me, Husband and our dog but we are all healed and happy now.
The torches thing was a Minecraft joke
17:50 - It's more so phones being in contact with other phones. They combine ads, browsing history, location history, 55 more types of history and put it into ad sense. So it might not hear you talking, but it knows you're visiting a friend who just got one so it theorizes that you might talk about it.Thus, ad about it.
I died a bit inside when he called a Minecraft joke a Roblox joke 💀
"what is that? A Roblox joke?"
Pain
@4:20 I'm 99% sure Johnny Depp played an AI in a film about fixing the world with nano bots but no-one believed he had good intentions.
17:27 Sunny D actually launched a satellite into space many many years ago and that's what we call the "Sun". All to advertise their future products.
"Is that a roblox joke" made me giggle
9:59 How little time a few hours actually is/how small numbers really are. Ex. You don’t think 5 minutes is a long time, and you don’t think 6 is a big number, but 6 sets of 5 minutes is 30 minutes, which looks and feels longer than it actually is. Time is weird.
10:53 A curtain rod, the vent in the floor that leads to darkness, or straighten it and put it in the space a book spine has when the book is opened.
12:00 When guillotines were used, sometimes the blade would not cleanly sever the head off, so it had to be dropped again. I think one dude had the blade dropped on him like 5 times. Oh yeah, and the head remains conscious for 10-15 sec after decapitation, so they could feel the pain.
0:52
Right, depends who I’m with. Changes a bit.
My mom’s side? “I’m a witch.”
My dad’s side? “I have had more lovers at once than half the people here have in a lifetime.“ (though I suppose it’s good? To not have many lovers in your lifetime, I mean. Loyalty. Also the relationships were all open/Poly and everybody was fine with it so don’t worry. Not mentioning that could create serious chaos though.) (side note, this could also work on my mom’s side)
Theory that you mic is always "hot":
A more likely expalantion for the problem would be:
Your collegue looked up standing desks on his work pc or over the work wifi.
Before you knew he ordered one you just didnt notice because its "just another ad"
Example from my life:
I am a privacy oriented person and I NEVER get ads targeted at me.
However my sister was looking for "refurbished Iphones" on our wifi so everyone in our wifi gets targeted ads for Refurbed Iphones (its because those websites only see the address of your network).
I have the same refurbed ad since 3 months and I am going crazy, I am thinking about activating the collection for targeted ads, just so I get rid of it.
A sound activated mike is, by definition, always on, regardless of what Alexa says, just like a motion detecting light is always on.
@@haroldwilkes6608 yes, obviously. I thought we where talking about saving/sending data
@@Weeblon Comes with the territory, if they can, they will.
@@haroldwilkes6608 no thats my point, I am a pessimist, anti bigcorp, all the stuff. However its impossible to hide thinks like that from eyes of hundreds of thousands of it specialists. (and certain open source tools ). They coul'd but they won't. An article like "bic corp X listens to you 24/7 and sells it to the highest bidder or the police" will have some backlash (namedly CIA thanks to Mr.Snowden).
some questions you have to ask is:
-If google records you 24/7, why doesnt the government force google to give them infos with criminal cases.
-There are 2.5 Million active android devices according to google. If they where to record (and process) the audio of 2.5 Millionen devices additionally to their normal work theyd be better of mining crypto. (One hour of everyone would eqal to 107 Billion Megabytes). So a plain recording wont cut it.
-Lets think like a corp rat, what would be a more efficient way to do this: "hmm in the modern day and age people "google" products before they buy them and we make money advertising those products. Why should we possibly break law and use all that work, if they literaly send us what they want every fucking time in plain text."
The TLDR of that is: If you allow them to do it and they are able to do something with it, they could take it.
@@Weeblon In the 50s-60s, some thought their TV was listening to them, in the 20s-30s they thought their radios were. But in those days if you turned a machine "off", it was off, today, not so much. Most houses and cars have phantom power losses, "off" items that are on standby, called parasitic drain. What has changed today is the "cloud", huge storage farms both government and civil plus the vast increase in computer/internet speeds. Although I agree the data is too vast to store everything, targeting key words or phrases is quite probably being done, NSA specifically. But most of what the "desk" thing was about is transient, google something and it's noted in a cache or a cookie as a subject of interest for a short period of time, then erased. 1984 isn't quite here yet.
Oooh, petty hills I'll die on:
Please rinse dishes off before putting them in the dishwasher. They don't need to be sparkling clean - that's what the dishwasher's for - but a quick rinse will typically reveal any stuck on food that clearly _won't_ come off in the dishwasher, which needs to be scrubbed first.
And speaking of, why would you put cups or bowls _face up_ in the dishwasher? Like, how does that make sense? It's just going to collect nasty water!
Also, if you're washing dishes by hand and setting them out to dry, _for f's sake, don't just put cups and bowls face down flat on a dish towel!_ They have no possible way of drying off, because the water has nowhere to go, so when I go get one of those cups it smells musty and vile.
Huh... I've always put cups upside down to dry and never noticed any smell or anything. Also I've never owned a dishwasher and they sound kind of useless... ffs if I've already gone to the trouble of rinsing the dish I might as well wash it by hand
AGREED, im the one who undoes the dishwasher in my house andIi hate touching soggy onion on all the forks, it is awful
Recently my mom got a brand new dishwasher, and my father-in-law specifically told us not to rinse the plates before putting them in. Sure we empty whatever is left in the garbage can, but don't rinse it afterwards. Turns out, there's a compound in the dishwashing soap that's made to remove grease on the plates. If you rinse off the plate, it removes the grease and the compound ends up in the bottom of the dishwasher, accumulating over time. Eventually it'll stain the dishes. Now, it won't show much on plates, but whenever you look at old glasses that seem a bit cloudy and stained, you'll think of this comment :)
Used to work retail. At a couple different places, you can mute the machine.
Also, the numbers on the fruit and vegetable stickers are pretty much the same kind of numbers on barcodes. They're close to universal, at least for where I happen to live, so if you get sick of clicking through for the dragon fruit with nothing but a number on the sticker, just type in the number. (Note that this does work for barcodes on cash registers, but not on self check outs. However, this does mean that you can read off the twelve digit number to the cashier if your twelve pack of soda won't scan.)
Lastly, I do know that the latter is probably just a hair more useful to know about, but I hated the voice they gave for the self check outs I had to deal with.
when he said roblox joke i lost my shit
Same. And I feel extra pissed cus I know I fell right for his fucking trap
19:34 Yes. when i was hanging out with my friend we tried to do something aesthetic (for a pic), so we decided we were going to something related to water, we find this cup on the ground and saw a puddle (it was raining before), so we thought we could scoop the water with the cup and 'throw'(?) the water like one of those pictures. so we did, but the moment the water splashed on the ground, i started dying of laughter (cause it sounded like a pee splash, im really immature in humor) then i piss myself, ran home, found new underwear and pants, and i was STILL DYING.
I really adore these moments with my friend lmao
7:08 one time at a playground I was standing on this seesaw, and it has two seats on both sides with bars. I lost my balance, and I thought I would break my back on the bars, but I landed perfectly on the other seat. So relieving.
0:43 A ROBLOX JOKE? ARE ROBLOX AND MINECRAFT THE SAME TO YOU?
Band of Brothers is a very good show. No spoilers, but it's about a real WWII parachuter company on D-Day
The funniest thing to me with the Karen parents question is that most of them were upset about something that affected their kids even though the kids really don't care.
at a bit before 8 minutes does it like have the same bit of audio twice? Istg that messed with me so much
0:10 what I use for sleeping noises is AskEmkay
to always be the only person in the bed. that trick has probably saved me tons of grief
15:38 - I miss my husband's 4-day work week. He's back to five with weekends and most of the Saturdays, he still has to work a few hours.
That 9ne about the women's boyfriend of 10 years shorting out evedytime she starts to change for bed and holds her is actually really wholesome.
"Have you ever laughed so hard..." Yes.
So there's this Em Kay video where Jack is narrating. "All reality is cake" or something along those lines and I just lost my mind.
On the paper clip question: I'd stick it on the inside of my dog's collar. She hates when you try taking it off, since she knows that means bath time, and she'll run away. Also, she's super cute, so that would be a great distraction.
9:07 I'd accept. I'd just eat, drink, sleep and exercise. I'd think of the end goal to keep motivation up sky high.
11:01 is it bad that that the first sentence was also my first thought to this question

3:10 Mini-series: Jesus of Nazareth, The Bible, Roots, Chernobyl, etc.
“I’m gonna zib zob with eleventy million nickel backs”
Not really related to the question but I actually know one of the actors from the Expanse. He was an actor at a local theatre and my family sponsored him. He plays Erich and he’s a great guy
12:25 about the intestine part, yea, or the most part, yes they don't have worry too much. but, problems occur when the small intestine is twisted before connecting it back to the large intestine; nothing from the top can go down and nothing other than surgery to correct it will solve the issue...
15:00 I don't want people to suffer from the pain I mightve suffered through
describing a show as "game of thrones but..." is the best way to get me to say no. i don't understand how that show captivated audiences for so long.

4:57 that’s… that’s just the plot of Soul but backwards
If you cant sleep but are comfortable, smile a bit it helps me I think
My mom has worked as a nurse for many years. She worked as an ER nurse, then went to on-call/hospice, to a covid nurse. Now I'm not entirely sure what she does. I know she's still a nurse. My point is, she told me once that at one of the hospitals she worked at, she saw them 3D print an organ. So, we're already at that stage in medical science. And, as someone who has had many surgeries, I think that's cool as hell.
@Sarafina Summers Probably. There was also the story of tbe guy who lived for I think three or four months with a robotic heart. He had a backpack that he had to wear constantly that had a machine in it that preformed everything his heart was supposed to do. Because his actual heart had stopped working and died.
17:40 I just started playing Pokémon go and I guess I was talking about it bc I got a UA-cam video on Pokémon I don’t watch Pokémon videos ;-;
18:26 So ur probably thinking the (fake) missile alert wants that bad right? NO. IT WAS FUCKING TERRIFYING. I lived in an apartment at the time and I freaked so much I rushed down 35 flights worth of stairs. I thought I was going to DIE. it was lowkey traumatizing and I still get flashbacks when we have monthly siren testing
3:06 he probably thought it was his room.
“Is that a Roblox joke?”
Me: What game are you playing on Roblox? No one should be playing Minecraft on Roblox.
The room thing. I don't think I'd make it. But I would try, I'm sing alot. Probably figure out some way to do art. I'd also leave some crumbs of food by the door to invite a mouse in. I could also use my silverware to make a small hole in the wall as a second way for my new buddy can get in and out. I would befriend this mouse and train it to do tricks.
22:25 I'm not a professional but I'm known for being the "artist kid" in my friendgroup/age group and you will not believe how many times I've been asked
"Oh your that artist kid right?? Draw me/draw me a picture"
Btw I'm a people pleaser so I usually say yes then never do it :/
Love the Narrator, as well as the channel, but why are there so many cuts?
yeah, that’s a problem with a few of the videos. All of the audio pauses are cut out so it just makes it feel unnatural
I love this channel it’s relaxing for me to listen to when I have to do chores or when I just wanna sleep or when I have to go to school
11:03 BAHHA I INSTANTLY THOUGHT THAT
I thought tricks in bed was going an entirely different direction...
0:54 I tell them that I took a dna test and I'm actually not my dad's daughter.
currently on a binge, fucking l o v e the narrators
We got to know my across the street neighbour because our dog would sometimes escape. He has a dog and a big fenced in backyard so when he would see us trying to lure our dog back home he would come outside with his dog and use his dog to lure our dog into the yard to play.
Satin or very high threadcount sheets don't have much grip. Don't expect to be successfully gymnastic on them.

Whenever I see something slightly funny I laugh too much.
Sleeping is a great trick in bed, i use it all the time.

As an X financial adviser, we are not wealthy because we are limited to what we can do. I had so many limitations put on me at my job that I felt I was trapped to always be an employee. Also, do your own research. I KNEW that high inflation was coming for years but I was forced to prepare retirement reports showing 2% inflation. Even if the average is 2%, if the first 2 years of retirement you're at 10% you are royaly screwed. I couldn't even mention high inflation to them. It makes me sick to think of all the people that retired because I showed them a report showing them that they were good to go. Use an adviser to do the work of moving money and calling people, ask them about how things work but don't invest in anything to YOU don't understand yourself. Do your research. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk. Lol
8:57 the question is that if the room is small and all white thattl drive me insane
3:35 THANK YOU, u/wnasif! THANK YOU for saying the best aver so I don't have to!
0:45 i cant tell if this was sarcasm but i hope it it
please tell me its a joke
if you dont get it he said roblox joke to a minecraft reference
7:07 my middle school once went on a huge lockdown because there was criminal activity in the area they had cops circling the school to make sure nobody gets in and at the end a teacher was supposed to tell us that we we’re safe the thing is the teacher trying to get in so they could tell us we’re safe forgot he had keys and just pounded on the door that pounding made my mind go HOLY FUCK IM GONNA DIE luckily nothing happened but that’s the scariest shit that ever happened to me
26:05 God damn.
“What are some tricks everyone should know in bed?” Sleeping
It’s the only thing you should do in it
I’ll die on the hill of
PUT THE DUMBELLS AWAY PROPERLY
Pettiest hill to die on: that stupid debate the french have over "chocolatine" or "chocolate bread". Little bit of context: I'm french canadian so I heard of it but am otherwise uninvolved in the argument. Some in France believe that this flaky chocolatey pastry you'd eat in the morning is called "chocolatine" while others call it "chocolate bread". Welp, apparently it takes someone from Québec to remind them that these two appelations are TWO DIFFERENT FRIGGIN THINGS!! The flaky pastry is a "chocolatine" while chocolate-flavored actual bread (you'd see some at Starbucks I guess) is chocolate bread!!
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. *drops mic*
12:26 why does this man kind of sound like Saiki K rn…
a month with nothing but food bed and no human contact for 5 million?
sign me up, so easy, 6 months, maybe not so much
Yeah you would not survive that without serious brain damage.
3:06 this sounds like some dude who figured out a lil “hack” to sleep in a room for free and didn’t account for tenants who would actually feel safe enough to not check that their windows are locked.
That or some horny dude who was tryna sneak into his nighttime partner’s room without being spotted
I'm nice to people STRICTLY to make them feel bad for being mean to me. If you're nice to me and I'm nice back, know it physically pains me to do so.
Suddenly I understand my niece's odd behavior...
4:19 you mean Matrix?
11:01. i would dig a 1 meter hole and then i would dig it there and for it to not be so obvious i bould rake evrything.
