Oh that situation with the 62K spent on onlyfans is even more weird than you realise. While that is a genuine account of someone in the world, that dude in the photo is not him. The girls agency or whatever just grabbed a random dude and asked if they could put him in this and pay him like 500 bucks, just to make this a type of ad to get people talking about her page. And despite not actually being real this guy was willing to get a tattoo of the girl to keep up the story. By the time he went on the no-jumper podcast to talk about the situation the amount has risen from 62K to 90K.
I know! I saw that clip right after the video was ready to be uploaded lmao Half-truth marketing to spice up an already spicy story really do be working
@@TheClickPLEASE do that video you suggested about how people can avoid being manipulated by terrible people. It will surely help a lot of people.

We all know it's not progressives throwing months long tantrums over a random influencer drinking a shitty beer. In fact, I literally just watched a video about the ancient earth and there were people freaking out about "leftist propaganda" because it mentioned that the climate has changed.
They are literally the easiest people to offend. My roommate has a "liberal tears" thermos in the kitchen and I love watching how upset he gets about the fact that my best friend uses he/they pronouns, ESPECIALLY because he knows I will call him a snowflake if he reacts too emotionally. 😂😂
I'm a trauma researcher currently working on a study of male experiences of having intimate partner violence perpetrated against them. An awareness video would be fantastic because so many people don't recognise the signs that they're in an abusive relationship until it's too late.
Many men still won't realise or admit it afterwards. My ex talks about a particular ex of his as being horrible but refuses to call her emotionally abusive, which she was, and wouldn't seek therapy. She belittled him and shamed him for having emotions and he says it made him depressed to be with her when he has no history of mental illness. It was to the point that I had real issues getting him to trust or talk to me at first (wouldn't tell me his interests in case I mocked them!). I still don't understand. I guess most men don't see emotional abuse as 'real' abuse.
@@lemolea9571 society treats the idea of a man being abused as something he should be ashamed and embarrassed of, which causes men to refuse to acknowledge the abuse they went through as abuse. Men are also told that therapy is for "weak" people, which pushes them further away from accepting help. Some people refuse to acknowledge how bad traumatic events were because they'd rather pretend it didn't happen or that it "wasn't that bad" because they convinced themselves when it was happening that it wasn't that bad as a way to get through it. But once they're out, they don't want to think about it, so they continue pretending because otherwise they'd have to dig through a wound that they'd rather pretend isn't there. That wound can't heal until they dig all the rocks and dirt and rot out, but doing that is painful.
cats are the product of ten thousand generations where the ones that survived to breed were the ones the humans liked. They're congenitally desperate to fit in and get our approval. Through most of that time, showing us that they were good hunters was the best way to achieve that. When they bring you their prey it's not in order to feed you, it's so that you will give them approval. They caught a good mouse, well done.
@@mamasimmerplays4702that ignores all scientific studies on cats thus far??? It's been proven that A) cats domesticated themselves, just deciding to live with/around humans and B) that they see us as giant kittens who are just reaaally stupid and need to be taught how to hunt/can't hunt. That's why they bring prey
@@The_GrimJesterto add to his point our lack of hair makes the cats think we are kittens and it therefore treats us like one, ie the bringing us prey to show us what to eat
A man trying to date women saying “feminism sucks” in their profile is like a person applying to work in a hospital stating on their resume that they don’t believe in science or medicine.
I have multiple chronic disabilities, which cause me to be in the hospital a lot. Like "I'm on a first-name basis with many employees" a lot. The amount of hospital staff that are anti medicine conspiracy theorists is way too high... This was very scary during peak pandemic...
I'm convinced that some straight men make their dating bio with impressing other men in mind rather than trying to actually date women. Like it's just homosocial machismo.
This! I’ve been saying if you style your physicality/profile around what appeals to you, you’re just going to attract other men precisely because it appeals to you, a man. A post on one of these videos was like ‘well Louis Lane liked Superman, not Clark Kent’ and I was like dude, who wrote Louis Lane as a character? You just cited what men think women want as an argument for what women wan instead of listening to an actual woman…
I guarantee that is the actually wife has sent that message to his ex. I was in a relationship with a man who was still in love with his ex. She probably always knew she wasn’t his first choice and finally just gave up thus sending this message.
Bullying is the slow erosion of another person's self esteem. It can get so bad, a person might not feel worthy of living. And it's done to build up the bully's own self esteem, leeching off their target's power. It's disgusting, inexcusable, and anyone who excuses it is ignorant or guilty.
Yeah, I pretty early on decided to BE the bigger Person and Just ignore the Things Said to me . . . I thought they did Not bother me that much but at some Point they start to give me wrong compliments . . . .IT Hurt so much worse cause I "knew" No one would ever seriously compliment me . . . .iven If IT IS an established Joke, even If Out know they are Just saying Things to boost their Ego and you where Just a convinient target, literally No Matter how rational you are and know IT IS Not true . . . .If ITS al you hear you start to believe IT . . .i have an endless sea of Things thrown at my head that contradicts every even genuinly ment comment. AI am almost 30 now, the bullying happened Up to my a Level, and I still struggles taking compliments AS such. Knowing they did Not actually mean IT did Not Help in the least . . . . Bullying should never BE tolerated, IT errodes you even If you feel Like IT does Not and you are above it
OK ok. Ik it's a serious topic and absolutely agree should not be tolerated. But the phrase "leeching off their target's power" makes it sound like all bullies are anime villains. I'M USING MY SECRET TECHNIQUE, BULLYING, TO DRAIN YOUR POWER! SOON YOU SHALL BE HOPELESS TO THE POWER OF MY STAND!
I am just gonna add that people who bully do deserve help with their own issues. They're bullying cause they don't have a healthy coping mechanisms. Bullying is just an unhealthy coping mechanism usually tied to people who feel either insecure, are stuck in a power struggle and on the losing end or they struggle with themselves. It kinda makes them a lot less terrifying and powerful if you look at how miserable they gotta be to hurt someone else.
Happened to a childhood friend of mine, and I will never forgive the people who bullied them. I am very big on forgiveness, but I just can't forgive those soulless, non-human creatures. This is why I have a hard time trusting middle-to-high school-aged people. It just feels sometimes that they're all like this, even though I know it's not true. It's been over 4 years, and nobody faced any consequences.
Can't imagine people more deserving of tasting their own medicine, than those people. "What do you mean, you're being harassed? Just turn off the screen, you dweeb!" - we laugh, as they still in the end would learn absolutely f*cking nothing...
I once failed a 2nd grade spelling test. Because I wrote in cursive. Which I taught myself a year before. My mother, a teacher, then went to my teacher. My mother- was he right? Teacher- yes, but, he shouldn't have been taught cursive yet. Mom- so, he got it right. Fix it. A kid should never be punished for advancing their education on their own.
Honestly it's kinda weird how the education system will push down kids who are ahead of their peers so they fit into the system's definition of where they should be knowledge-wise. I went to a great pre-K and was super bored throughout elementary school, was even offered both the gifted program and to skip first grade.
@@ferretqueen2908 Not the education system, but select teachers. Mostly my teachers have rewarded forward-thinking, but in 11th grade, my friend (who was taking a 12th grade math course alongside an 11th) complained her teacher had made her redo a test question because she'd used an advanced technique
I had that happen to me too, in a math class. I was doing stuff the way I would've been taught the following yr cause my dad taught me but apparently I showed the work incorrectly. I got the same answer tho lol, just with an easier faster method
@@cottoncandyjkkj This was 100% me. I failed algebra because, while I was showing my work, it was in a way that made sense for me so even though I got the answer right, I'd always only get half points. Turns out I was solving the algebra in the way one might for calculus and trigonometry which are college level maths that I just happened to excel at lmao But because of the failures, I just said "I'm bad at maths" and left it at that. Any fun I had with maths was killed thanks to my high school teacher. If the answer is correct, it's correct. Regardless of how the person got the answer.
I hate how s//cide is so normalised nowadays. My close friend told me to kys once, which actually kinda hurt. They`re definitely not a bad person, and since I reacted negatively to that they have been making an effort to stop saying things like that, which I really appreciate. But like, what the fuck? How did that become a normal thing to say???
41:40 So, FunFact: Dolly Parton once saw that a gay bar was having a "Dolly Parton lipsync & impersonation contest" … so she entered it! _And lost!_ Apparently she thinks it was a total hit that she lost a contest impersonating herself, and loves telling the story! 😁😁😁 Just goes to show what a sweetheart Dolly is.
Props to that 18 year old for getting the reasons to avoid him like the plague out in the open immediately instead of waiting for the first date to prove he's a total butthole.
Exactly why I think trying to restrict what people can say is a bad thing. Letting people talk about all their shitty opinions makes it easier to know to avoid the. If people have to keep that stuff secret you could get unfortunately close to someone before you find out they're a horrible person.
I went back to using tinder and such a couple months ago. You see this SO often. Either they post all this negative stuff. And somewhere they almost always complain about people swiping left on them or never responding to their messages. Like dude, it's very obvious why. I've swiped right on a few based on just their picture then went and read their bio before messging because it was a match (regardless of who messaged first.) And theor conversations always turn bad, pretty quick. Like one even got mad and insulted me because he was nice enough once we talked, but I didn't send him a pic after he added me to snap. If he had just said "what? No pic?" I would've just explained I font lime my picture taken amd thay I'm at work but when I go on break I'll take a quick selfish for him. But je immediately followed it up with an insult amd telling me I'm a waste of his snap. So instead o Saif I am at work and that if he couldn't understand that he's going to take a backseat to that (as he is a total stranger,) he can feel free to remove me. He sent Ike 4 messages and a voice clip. He never removed me. I removed him like 2 days later after only opening the messages by accident.
People who victim blame are in the same category as people who believe that someone who does bad things only does bad thing, and therefor is easily recognizable. They cannot accept the reality where they could easily become a victim of something, therefor they become convinced it's their own actions that prevent it. The idea that the super kind person in their street who shovels their driveway when it snows can also be an abuser just explodes their limited capacity emotional centers into further disfunction.
shout out to that one time i was arguing with a transphobe. he told me to read a basic biology textbook, i told him i take advanced biology, he imidietly gave up and left
Same exact thing happened to me on insta. I had a picture of me as a child as my pfp at that point and this guy just assumed I was a child for real and based all of his arguments on how I dont know science because I'm a child. Until he probably clicked on my profile and saw that I was actually a grown adult in med school. Immediately deleted all his comments and blocked me

Dolly Parton had literally been performing in public since she was very young. She grew up very poor, her parents paid the doctor who delivered her with a sack of oatmeal. Where would she or her family of 14 get the money for Dolly to dress as a girl if she was really a boy? Don't crap on Dolly, she's a national treasure
Doesn't she pull a Clark Kent / Hannah Montana in order to go in public comfortably? No wig, regular clothes... The legend herself is even more of a legend
She even created Dollywood to bring money and tourism to her impoverished home community. And we can't forget her reading programme for kids. Dolly is genuinely an incredible human being. I quietly refer to her as Dolly Ha'Kadosh (Dolly the Sacred).
Elvis wanted to cover I will always love you. Dolly was really excited at the thought of Elvis singing one of her songs, but Elvis's manager, Col Tom Parker, insisted on at least 1/2 the publishing credit. So Dolly turned down Elvis. She agreed for Whitney Houston to cover it for the movie, The Bodyguard and Dolly kept her writing & publishing rights. Having Whitney cover it, made Dolly a whole lot of money
Dolly wrote I Will Always Love You for Portner Wagner. He'd given her first big break , having her on his show and they sang many duets together. When she left his show, to have a solo career, she wrote the song as a thank you for all his help

309* I recently looked on quora/reddit That actually; women don’t make better snipers than men. In fact there isn’t much evidence to back up that women are better. it’s just that because women tend to be more patient and more well equipped for long range combat than close range (due to them being less physically strong)

I'm in Ohio, not even far from Warren. I am 23 weeks pregnant with a high risk pregnancy and terrified because of the criminalization of miscarriages. I have had four miscarriages and one live birth in the last 16 years and am lucky I haven't been jailed. My heart goes out to the women that have been and are fighting for their freedom.
You should designate someone the person who watches the news for you, and tells you anything you MUST know as a matter of emergency, and then turn off the news until you bake that baby as long as you can. Watch nothing but good news channels and puppies frolicking in the grass or whatever it is to keep your cortisol low and your endorphins running. It’s paraphrased advice a friend’s ob/gyn gave her earlier this year for her high risk pregnancy, because stress is “contraindicated in pregnancy.” And remember: medicine is amazing, and we’re pretty good at keeping preemies alive. It’s okay to count the days, because every day your body manages is another day for the doctors to work with. You got this!
@@tijsgoetelen6812 miscarriages are spontaneous abortions, they could blame the woman the miscarriage, also many time if a woman has miscarriage she needs Medical attention, like if the embryo stops developing but hasn't been removed naturally then an abortion from the medical field could be necessary. By criminalising abortion they didn't only hurt women who don't want to go through pregnancy, child birth and child raising but women who are just in need of medical care.
@@khills That's what my husband is doing for me right now. I am 19 weeks in with our second baby, and he knows how fast I can spiral into a deep hole of anxiety since we have our first child. My family (my mother and sister in particular) absolutely loooooove drama and tragedies (as long as they are not the on suffering from it) and I don't know if I could handle Christmas with a bunch of people discussing all the tragedies recently happening in the world (especially when children are involved) without my husband by my side.
I was in a relationship where i bartered sexual favours for chores. I later learned that this is super toxic and a form of sexual abuse. Instead of selling my body for money, I was selling it for basic needs and equality in my relationship while dissociating during. Chore for him and chore for me. Never again will I do this and my current partner understands and respects this. Intimacy/Consent should be FRIES: Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific. Bartering for it is neither freely given nor enthusiastic.
The interesting detail with Bethany Beal (the woman in the pic) is that based on the content she posts she (a SAHM) hates doing chores and loves sex. Dave doing the housework is a reward for her as much as having sex after. That said: I hate that you had to live like that and am glad you´re doing better.
yes, this on so many levels. If the partner doesn't do their part of the chores I see only 2 options, talk it out and make them understand or leave them and find someone who is willing to pull equal weights
it's true that transphobes' arguments around "basic biology" or "middle school biology" can actually be used against them without changing much - _basic_ means not everything is taken into account and it's simplified according to what teachers thinks is understandable to middle school children. I had never thought of turning it around like this.
Transphobes think the oversimplified version of biology they were taught in middle school overrides the field of modern biology, and that science stopped advancing when they stopped learning. That sounds like solipsism to me. They tend to be the same people who think climate change isn't real because they don't feel it getting hotter.
It’s like basic math (addiction,subtraction, multiplication and division) existing doesn’t mean that complex math (I.e algebra and calculus) doesn’t exist, you know?
At thirteen minutes in I had a thought. If any child gets the right answer for a question years above their grade , give them credit. If they know more advanced concepts, they should be rewarded. After all we’re supposed to be educating not programming them. I know it’s more complicated, but the general idea is sound I think.
Sigh... My son and ALL primary school children in the UK are taught that the circle has 1 side. A side is a straight line segment! Either say no sides, because round or say infinity! Son and I had a looong conversation about it, involving a Geogebra demonstration. Now, after he figured out nets of 3D shapes I think on his own (wasn't me and I don't think they cover that in Year 1, but he does know them) we talked about a sphere having no net because it has zero(infinity) faces.

That part about the math questions being marked wrong reminds me of a time in highschool where I solved a question using some information that I read in the book. But, due to not having it covered at the time, I got lectured about reading ahead. To this day, I am still dumbfounded that teachers do not seem to enjoy having students that want to learn and take the initiative to actually learn the material.
Some years ago, there was a group of baboons in South Africa who started to forage for food in a large city garbage dump. The alpha males in the group obviously bullied the lower ranking members out of their fair share and hogged most of the food for themselves, as alphas will do. However, there were infectious and toxic agents in that food that killed all the alphas because they ate so much more than the other members of the group. So, the group endend up being made of only low ranking individuals, and became more relaxed, happier and healthier than they had ever been, basically the sanest and happiest bunch of baboons ever.
Primate shenanigans make me happy. For example, I recommend googling (or youtube search) "Ken Allen". This orangutan was an escape artist who loved seeing the other zoo animals and taking pictures with the visitors

One thing I find funny about the whole "Alpha/Beta/etc" is that in gaming terms, an Alpha test is very rugged and flawed. A Beta test improves from the Alpha but still has its issues. And technically a fully released/complete game is supposed to be more put together and robust. I know that's not where they're getting the terms from, but it's funny to think they're basically screaming about how incomplete and flawed they are.
I know current pre release games have skewed the term, but iirc "Alpha" means they are still adding features, while "Beta" means they are done adding features and are just trying to get the bugs out.
@battlesheep2552 I think beta is less of "it's basically done," because I've seen games that changed a lot from say their "open beta" release to their final update. It's more of "it's playable, and we're testing the waters." Beta is still open to improvement. Source: Disney's Dreamlight Valley is STILL considered an Open Beta build and they're constantly adding and building on with every update.
I find it funny because they're terms from omegaverse. I initially thought all these dudes were openly engaging in some homosexual roleplay stuff & thought "This is a pretty niche fetish but okay...

I find it funny how every time I hear someone say alpha male or betas, it reminds me of a fanfiction subgenre known as the omegaverse, which I'm certain those "alpha males" don't want to be associated with.
I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s based on! Well, the original study that actually was false about wolves ( like the hierarchy can happen only in captivity, and not in the wild) and even the person who did the study says it’s incorrect. But yes, the whole Manoverse thing is based on the wolves!
@@hmnhntrit’s a fan fic type where characters are lumped into three categories. Alpha (male and female have dongs [females don’t get pregnant] and dominate omegas) betas (male and female are just kinda normal) and omegas (males and females can get pregnant very subservient to alphas and the males cannot impregnate anyone) Throw in animal heats and some dog based genitals and hey presto the most cursed (yet somehow still hot) nsfw fan fiction to exist
fun fact: the researcher that introduced the idea of the alpha wolf realized the inaccuracies in his study, retracted his paper, and did his study again observing wolves in nature instead of captivity, and you know what he found? wolves more or less stick together in a family unit, there is an alpha, it's usually either a semi elected position, the wolves choose to follow either the most capable and level headed out of the group OR, the alpha is an experienced mother of several generations, in either case the alpha takes on the role not only of a leader but a care taker
It makes me want to reply to these "alphas" by asking "oh, so you're the oldest one in your social group, so you help take care of the grandkids? Or you're the 'mom friend'?"

As someone who suffered through an Alabama high school education, that one about the teacher not admitting she was wrong was INFURIATING! I have personally had one of my teachers tell me, "if I cant do it in my head, you shouldn't be able to." If I'd had my current bullshit threshold, I'd have sarcastically and loudly apologized for being smarter than her. Another one told me it wasnt her job to teach the equations. Kicked me out of the classroom because I didnt agree with her. I had to call my dad from the office and tell him to come get me becuase I was ready to punch my teacher. Oh, and he had to go get my things because I wasnt allowed back in the classroom for them...
I remember one time in middle school, we were talking about numeral prefix and the teacher asked us to name words that had these. So I said "bisexual" and the teacher went very condescendently "Oh no that has nothing to do with what we're talking about" and I got really sad because how much I performed at school was the only thing I could use to value myself. Sometimes school just sucks.
My third grade teacher told us that there were no words in the English language that have three vowels in a row. I disagreed _quietly_ to myself, since the teacher was _notorious_ for penalizing the kids he didn't like. The next week, one of our spelling words was _beautiful._ 🙄
I had a middle school teacher tell me I was pronouncing my own last name wrong. It's a short but weird name, so I'm used to people butchering it and having to correct them. This was the first time I had someone confidently tell me my entire family was saying it wrong, though. I calmly explained the people in the country the name comes from say it like we do first time, and he gave me detention for insubordination.
@@RandomFandomDragon ugh, I had a substitute do something similar to me. She called something that was definitely not my last name, but I was pretty sure was meant to be my last name. I put my hand up and asked "Did you mean [my name]? The person with that last name is not in this class". She said no, I know how to read, crossed my name out, continued taking attendance, and then gave me detention for being in the wrong classroom and sent me to the principals office. The thing is I can guarantee she'd seen the word she was saying spelled before because it was a holiday. It would be like seeing Crima, pronouncing it Christmas, and then giving the person detention for asking if they meant Crima. The detention was voided thankfully.

Dear Clickie-wickie, PLEASE make that video. Things like how abusers dig themselves into a victim's life like a tick is extremely important to share. You are great at explaining things in an easily digestible way. As a content creator with an epic reach, it could do so much good. I am a thriving former victim so it means a lot to me that others better understand such a complex topic. It helps others recognize abuse so they can avoid it, escape it, and/or support those who need it. Whether you do or don't make the video I'll always be a fan of my fellow August millennial from the last year of the decade that gave us the iconic DeLorean ❤
Right? I see SO MANY people saying "why didn't you just leave? I would've just left" But it's not that simple, because abuse never begins in an obviously way. It's always tiny and insidious. It's like the frog boiling in the pot of water so slowly it doesn't realize the water is even boiling. People don't really understand how abuse like that works and how someone could slowly gain control of your life, tear down your self esteem, isolate and manipulate you into staying, until they've got you trapped in hell. And most people won't understand it until they've been through it themselves. But a creator they like, shedding light on how it works and sharing their own experiences would be HUGE in educating people
23:52 This was much, much worse. She had lost the fetus then her water broke prematurely and could not get an abortion because of Ohio law to remove the dead fetus. She tried multiple times at the hospital before this happened. There are also racial overtones as she is Black. 😞
She’s the woman who was told she could only have an abortion after she went septic and was dying, isn’t she? Where she was counseled to wait in the parking lot with a friend and have that friend call them when she began to die? Unfortunately, the reason they’re able to charge her with mutilation of a corpse is because at 21/22 weeks, the body is fully formed. This is one where Click either didn’t stop to think before opining about laws and not knowing biology. 😔 Because she flushed and plunged the fetus, which was found stuck in the pipes, it sort of IS desecration of a corpse. 😞 I don’t think the defense argument that it’s not a corpse because it was never alive outside the womb is a very strong or convincing argument, unfortunately. She’s very, very lucky that the autopsy reports and testimony showed the fetus died before passing through the birth canal. There have been cases from BEFORE Roe v Wade was overturned where people giving birth in toilets have been charged with murder because autopsies have been unable to tell if the fetus was alive at birth or not, so zealous prosecutors decide yes and do a full court press on an already-traumatized person… often a teenager. 🤬 I hope the grand jury has compassion, but… I am not expecting it, in Watts’ case. The prosecution apparently has gruesome photos and the male prosecutor is willing to use them. He’s also doubling down hard on racist stereotypes. 🤬 At the same time, a female assistant prosecutor has said the county was required by the state AG to move forward with prosecution, that they don’t expect the grand jury to return a finding this month, and that 20% of cases aren’t indicted and that’s it - and it’s pretty clear that’s what she hopes will happen. The truly awful thing? Her only hospital for care was a Catholic hospital, and if they had induced her immediately on arrival to the hospital, it would have still been legal under the law - because she was 21 weeks and 5 days. She became 21 weeks and 6 days after an eight hour wait in the ED,… a wait that happened because the Catholic hospital was debating what to do with their lawyers and priests. If she’d had the option of a secular hospital, none of this would have happened. I know she’s got money for the legal battle and (importantly) for medical care and counseling, but I really hope she’s able to sue the hospital, in time, for putting her in this situation.
@@Unurinen Also in Ireland. Savita Halappanavar, died of sepsis after being denied an abortion despite needing one for medical reasons. There was also another case in Ireland of a woman who was brain-dead, but because she had been pregnant, the doctors kept her on life support despite there being zero chances of the fetus living and developing to viability, because of how harsh the laws against abortion are in that country
@@raerohan4241 That's really sad :( In our country (Czech republic) was also one woman who was brain-dead, but doctors managed to save the baby - with consent of the husband. The woman was on life support for four months if I remember correctly. But it was only to try to save the little girl, not because of some stupid laws or religionistic nonsence (our laws are good in this matter as far as I can say).
B-b-but all the alt right conservative pro-lifers promised medical necessary abortions would be protected! It's almost like they lie to and trick the uneducated and the gullible to get their way...
I think the reason that a lot of people are targeting GTA VI and calling for a ban is because they forget that video games are a media much in the same way as music or TV shows. They allow for expression and ideas to come to life. Instead they see it as a child's toy like that's the sole reason for them to exist in the world. It's tailor made for children, it's supposed to a tailor made expression of someone's imagination. Unfortunately, they'll never realize this because their heads are so far up their own asses that if they sneezed, they'd rupture their stomach.
Listing all the random people you hate in your bio on dating is the smart thing to do, it keeps you from matching with people that would leave you anyways when they inevitably finds out about your values XD
30:59 the fact that he never swears in how videos and the only time I've ever seen him swear was to emphasise how harmful the lack of understanding if the abuse cycle can be is honestly really cool of him
Please do the video on abuse and victim blaming. Non physical abuse was the focus of my PhD and part of what I explored was the lack of recognition. Spreading awareness of both the harm of non physical behaviours and what they look like is so important. Challenging the victim blaming narrative is also crucial. So many people equate signs of injury with harm and assume someone who hasn't been physically harmed is therefore not in as bad a situation and can easily leave. They then judge those who haven't left the situation as responsible for the ongoing abuse. So much of the narrative is around victims changing their behaviour instead of the perpetrators.
A cop or some investigator from a precinct (I was there to inquire about pressing charges) told me abuse wasn’t “your mom being mean to you”. There’s everyone’s dose of depression. Anyway, keep spreading awareness. I need to stay away from people so I can’t do it myself. Thank god I never called the cops as a kid. It probably saved my life. Also I likely said it was verbal and physical, I mean I was asking about battery charges, of course there was physical.
Yep, people blame me for the emotional abuse and medical neglect my parents put me through. Like what was I supposed to do? Walk out the door at 11 years old? I even had someone accuse me (as an adult) of abusing my parents for refusing to cut their lawn when my father was injured. Not only do they live in a different city, so the money they were offering wouldn't even cover travel expenses, I would've had a miss an entire work shift because they wanted it cut at a very specific time and day of week. Which over the course of a month would've cost me about my entire rent. Oh yeah, AND I'M ALLERGIC TO GRASS!!!! But apparently that makes me a spoiled brat. Ah yes, the "spoiled" behavior of not wanting to spend months with a rash (takes about two weeks to heal, they wanted it cut weekly) at the great payment of....-$2,000. Pass
Yes! We honestly always need more awareness in general but especially in there being more then one form of abuse. Me and my brother by all rights could've and probably should've been taken away from our family as little kids when a neighbor called the cops for one or both of us screaming at the top of our lungs. This was around 20yrs ago and cop said basically if there's no mark, there's no abuse. Our insane sperm donor put a lock on the outside of our shared bedroom door, liked to record us crying to play back to us while laughing and mocking us and he'd do this over any slight thing he disagreed with, but he only hit us "occasionally" so it was "fine". I'm still not 100% emotionally recovered from that trauma, emotional abuse is a serious issue that some downplay so much to everyone's detriment
I love how r/facepalm is always a mix of people embarrassing themselves in mostly harmless ways, societal institutions in desperate need of reform, and people testing my faith in humanity
The math thing is SO real. One time in middle school the teacher asked a question to the class, and I answered using a nomenclature you don't use until a later grade. The teacher not only said I was wrong but insulted me before the entire class calling me stupid. Another student she loved answered using the simpler nomenclature, and she praised her and gave her a high mark. I was 11. I'm 21 now and I still think about it at least once every two months. Italy is wild!
The part with the truth nuggets from Andrew Tate and similar "Alphas" really is true. I once saw a live stream about the whole issue, a streamer reacting to all the sexist and dangerous stuff Tate said and one guy commented "but it's not everything and it's out of context". After being asked what he meant was a good thing Tate did/said, his answer was "he said you should drink sparkling water and that's a pretty good tip!"
Exact same thing I see with people defending Jordan Peterson. They really think "Well not literally everything he says is exactly wrong" is a real defense.
In second grade I had to stay in at lunch and recess because of medical reasons, and so I started idly learning cursive from the back page of the spelling workbook. My teacher came in and saw me practicing on the blackboard and told me that we didn't learn that until third grade and banned me from doing it. Up until that point I was just idly doing something because I was bored, but you'd better believe I took that book home and learned the daylights out of that cursive alphabet that night. lol I was so offended that she had the audacity to tell me I couldn't learn something.
If you're going into the dating sphere with a defensive/hostile opinion about dating, and the need to tell strangers why they are wrong or why they suck...you're probably not ready to date.
I'd LOVE a video essay style video on the "bullies excusing bullying" topic. You sound like you really care and are capable of making a well informed, well researched video on the topic.
Agreed! He's clearly passionate and informed about the topic as well... when someone who intentionally avoids swears and potentially-risky phrases drops an F bomb, you know it's a legit topic.
16:52 honestly I’m sometimes really jealous of the language kids have now. The idea of a “toxic friendship” or even “situationship” would’ve been so helpful to teenage me lol
To address what you said near the end-ish of the video: I think having a serious video about victim blaming and properly educating others about it will be incredibly powerful. You can give voice to those who have no words to describe it, you can give victims a chance to feel important, you can really make a huge impact in peoples lives and I think that is a phenomenal thing if you are actually up for it! I hope the script-writing goes well
I used to be a teacher, it nearly killed me, emotionally and physically. I was sad to leave this profession into which I had sunk so much effort, but I was simply unable to continue. I look at the state of education now two decades later, and I am so glad I quit when I did. It is not giving children a true education, it is schooling to pass exams, and to fit into a limited society. UK based.
It's gotten much worse recently, they're cutting out subjects like art and music and even cutting down on English time in favour of a narrow focus on getting office jobs that make money. Nothing wrong with making a living, but the people in charge don't value anytilhing unless it's monetised and they can tax it.
I have a teacher right now who doesn’t actually teach the subject I’m learning for my gcse, she just reads of a piece of paper trying to make us memorise specific stuff not bothering to see if we understand it
i'm non-binary trans post-op and people confuse me for either binary gender all the time. a security guard recently stopped me from entering a gendered grocery store bathroom bc he thought i was the "wrong" gender. anyway, you are a great antidote to the bad days like that, one of my favorite allies. thanks for all you do and i wish you every happiness every time i come by. 😊❤
@Lexo_The_Moravian Yeah, this bloody sucks. Especially when there isn't a gender neutral toilet available. The funny thing is, places that have those tend to be places a trans individual can safely use the gendered toilets, because if they're inclusive enough to have a gender neutral toilet they also aren't going to bother harassing people who just need to pee...
I'm so sorry you have to put up with that friend. While I've never dealt with that kind of situation before, and likely never will (cishet guy, who isn't closeted afak), I think I can still understand the frustration and betrayal(?) of being harried just for being the 'you' you're most comfortable with. Especially as many of us were told "you can be whoever you want to be" growing up, only to find out later that it was less advocating for finding yourself, and more choosing which awkward box to out yourself in. I'm pulling for you; we're all in this together :)
About the 48 Terabyte of CP guy, it's even more disturbing when you start thinking of how or why he had that amount terabytes of it. It's similar to drugs, where at a certain point it's very likely it wasn't for self-consumption, and instead that he was selling it.
@@DestinyKillerNovember this year!!? I lost my mother in spring and am still very much grieving. You have all my sympathy ❤ and other people from the dead parent club say you never get over it, just learn to live with it. The fact you speak about it is a good thing, not something you should be shushed about.
Marking correct answers wrong b/c the student is a little ahead is just... aaaarrgghh! In uni I ended up having phonetics three times due to my choice of subjects. Of course the exact phonetics of different languages vary but the theoretical systems used in phonetics don't. One of my professors remarked that I'd answered an exam question using theoretical knowledge that hadn't been covered in that particular course but he didn't mark me down for knowing more than I was "supposed" to know!
If they did that at uni level, that'd be utterly ridiculous, even more so than in school. In education, one should never be punished for being ahead of the curriculum, that absolutely kills curiosity and engagement.
I think my mom bought me the "guys like girls who" book, but I was still sapphic as a kid even tho I was deep in the Catholic closet and refused to even open it. I didn't want guys to like me but I didn't learn why for 15 years.
I believed that I was wrong, "sinful ", & deserved to die because of religious indoctrination too. I felt attracted to the same sex & could not stop feeling that way . I heard many "good christian" people talk about how "disgusting, sinful , perverted , ect" it was to even think that way, & how all gays should die or be killed This was one of the reasons that I attempted suicide at 11yrs old. Now I understand that Jesus (if he was the kind of person the Bible says that he was ) would have loved & accepted me exactly how I am & those "christian" were so far away from following his message that they could be a Bible meme. Jesus : "love your neighbors , love your enemies " so called christian: "except for those disgusting gays right ?" Jesus : *facepalm* smh
Honestly I’d really appreciate a full video on the increase in online victim blaming, but even if it doesn’t get made I appreciate you talking about it here. Having heard a lot of this in person when I was younger which affected me a lot, seeing it more and more online, particularly in cases involving mental health or marginalised groups is so exhausting and it’s nice to feel recognised and not alone by hearing it get addressed. Anyways, always enjoy watching your videos while drawing, thanks
most of you probably wont belive/listen to this, but as an israeli, it does feel a lot like victim blaming when hearing about the war. like, its horrible hearing pepole from *my* (lgbtq+) community just hating my country for literaly being invaded is devestating. thats it, im just tired.
I still get VB'ed by both my ex's possé and a group of Neos online who use me as their scapegoat. It's vile and dehumanizing. I wish I could find help, but all I can do is share my story.
@@zanderfus2723That's because your country is gleefuly slaughtering civilians, the Hamas attack are horrifying there is no doubt it, but so is destroying an appartement full of people in front of live tv. Honestly it's a PR disaster for Israël wich is what the Hamas is banking on they are so happy to make martyrs. The Hamas care as much about Palestinians civilians as do Israël. I am as disgusted by the Hamas than am I by the leaders of Israël. I truly hope your people and the Palestinians are one day going to live peacefully together, but you have to understand that Israël looks really bad right now and the whole "iF You CrItiZE uS yOu ARe A nAZi" is really getting old.
@@zanderfus2723 It's nuanced; hating the govt is different from hating the people. Hamas is terrorist; Isreal had bombed Palestinian hospitals and has had a program where people are sent out to "settle" the land in Palestine to increase Israeli borders. The war is bad Hamas is bad It is incredibly obvious what pushed them there Free Palestine Stop antisemitism These are all true statements.
@@zanderfus2723idk I don’t think supporting an apartheid regime that tries to build an ethnostate and was set up by the UK in no regards of destroying hundreds and thousands of lives and who‘s politicians are openly calling for genocide is a good idea either. Still what Hamas did was horrible but idk Israel isn’t a victim the victims are everyone suffering who have nothing to do with this.
31:26 I read a story (of all things, a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic) where the main character is a middle aged lawyer whose secretary tries to r*pe him, and it serves as a BEAUTIFUL middle finger to all the double standards about abuse and assault as applied to men. The main character is horrified and disgusted, thinking that "This shouldn't happen to a man, I let this happen", and all his friends all simultaneously come together and say, NO, this CAN happen to a man, it's not your fault, you're well within your right to be traumatized by this, we're here for you, etc. His recovery story is also lengthy and beautiful (he'll obviously never be completely okay after this and he has PTSD to the point he has trouble being alone with a woman, even his female friends, entire books and months later in the timeline). This is all from a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic. This author in general has top tier character writing and interactions, especially writing trauma.
31:47 ABSOLUTELY DO THAT AS A VIDEO! I feel like so many people would benefit from this whether to be educated on this stuff, or to feel seen, in any case please do it!
Damn. I don't think I've ever seen Click angry enough to actually swear properly. Normally he does one of his replacement words like "frick" or something, but I've legit never heard him drop a hard "f*ck" before.
I LITERALLY have a girl in my class who actually thinks that she doesn’t need a vaccine because she isn’t sick 😭 I tried telling her but I accidentally said it a little too blunt and now she’s calling me a murderer
I probably would've snapped and said she's the murderer for willfully endangering people around her / throwing away group protection... I hope you won't be too hard on yourself for bad phrasing in the heat of the moment. Can confirm it's not a great feeling. 🙃
please DO that video! You have a great way with words, you're compassionate, and you have so many subscribers, I think you could literally save lives! I am 61, and over the past few years, have watched you mature (maybe wrong word), but you're more serious, and less tolerant of BS, and the fact that you are willing to take the time, and make a video about such a delicate subject, speaks volumes about your character. You have my respect, fwiw
All of this! This channel knows when to have fun but also when to be serious, a wonderful mix that I fully appreciate and learned to appreciate while getting older myself (mid 30s). A video on this topic would be fantastic.
Would be awesome to see this video from The Click! Having a good and serious breakdown of how those kinds of situations happen even to the well informed people and how insidious it really is would be pretty well received as a whole.
About the math stuff, I'd get in trouble at elementary school for skipping to further chapters and doing more advanced math after I learned the rule in the chapter we were working on, I'd get bored doing an endless amount of almost identical math problems to repeat the rule so I'd just do the next rule. Killed my love of math being stuck doing the same rule over and over till I was bored out of my mind. I'd just quickly complete the assigned tasks then read cartoons and books under my desk, then I'd get in trouble for reading, eventually got a pretty bad maladaptive daydreaming problem, just because they wouldn't let me get enough brain stimuli in class.
So the two women with the assault rifles at 33:10 are Israeli soldiers on leave, who are legally required to carry their service rifle at all times. I wonder how the same person would react to an attempt to actually normalize what is depicted in that photo, that is 2 years of mandatory military service to every 18 year old regardless of gender...
If we were to reinstate conscription it would have to be regardless of gender, no? I do agree that that person clearly lost out on a lot of nuance and context in their post tho haha
@@subtopewdiepie4638 I kept hearing about "apply the draft to women" from the feminism crowd back in the 00s but idk if anything ever came from that. And I'm lazy and don't want to look it up.
@@somegeesehonestly, I think that was a vocal minority. A lot of people who role in those circles tend to be pretty vehemently anti-war, so their position is usually abolishing the draft rather than expanding it. Then again, the 2000s was kind of a weird time politically because 9/11 made a lot of otherwise reasonable Americans have this kind of bloodlust that I don't think really went away until bin laden died.
More context: That way there is also another layer of public protection. Also people cannot just buy a gun in Israel without a reason and without having been aproved psycologically(people who are not would not be allowed in the army).
if I had the chance to, I'd go on a date with that guy from the dating app, JUST to shit on all his beliefs and see how long he can go without being offended and "just ignore it"
10:55 confidence is key. I tell my wife all the time that the imperfections she sees in the crafts she sells are not something those buying her crafts will see.
31:45 I would love a video like this. Titled something like me can be victims too. The Click, One topic, Jamie (and others I can't think of right now) are like the most confident men that don't question their masculinity. I'm not a man but even I can see how ridiculous some of that poo is.
First grade my daughter brought home a paper and she was pissed. The assignment was to circle the things that start with a W. My daughter did not circle the shark. Teacher marked it wrong and said it was a whale. It was absolutely a shark. I had to go to school and explain that it was a shark 😅
Reminds me of that scene in Lilo & Stitch. Pleakley: [After getting sent careening into the ocean by Stitch alongside Jumba, we hear them as the camera focuses on a rocky shore.] “HELP! I don’t like the ocean! *shouts* Oh, look! A friendly little dolphin. They helped out sailors in the war! Heheh, IT’S A SHARK! It’s a shark and it ain’t friendly! It looks like a dolphin, tricky fish, tricky fish! Oh, octopus, help me, [incoherent] octopus is worse than a shark!” [PLEAKLY crawls onscreen, an octopus over their face.] Pleakly (cont.): “I hate this planet!”
I was helping my niece with her maths homework the other day and the way her teacher wants her to solve things is infuriating! 😭 They had all these convoluted ways of figuring out percentages, and the way multiplication is taught now is so messy that she kept making small mistakes and we had to redo the whole question to see what went wrong because I didn't understand the new method enough to see where she went wrong and fix just that part. She was typing the answers on the computer but we were using some scrap paper to write out whatever she needed to figure it out. She got particularly stuck on some of the questions and I explained a much simpler way to figure them out. She told me "that's not how the teacher said to do it" and "the teacher doesn't like when we do it that way." I told her that the teacher isn't here and won't know what method we used since she was only submitting the final answers, so we're doing it whatever way gets us to the answers lol. She got through all 40 questions in the end and she was able to get all the right answers but it took over 2 hours and we bought the FNAF movie for her as a reward for getting through it all. I now fully understand the "math is math" meme from Incredibles 2... 😅 Schools need to stop changing math!!
No but you and your niece are so real for that; math is my HARDEST subject, and when my parents tried to help me with math hw when I was in elementary/middle/high school, the way they were teaching me didn't match how the teachers were!!!! Hands down one of the MOST infuriating things we had to deal with
@wacula426 Yeah, it makes it so stressful that the methods keep changing :') My niece has the same problem when doing her homework with her mum too because she doesn't understand the new methods either. Her mum even tried googling an explanation of the methods, but they weren't able to figure some them out. I passed my GCSE maths with a good grade without even studying because I'm naturally pretty decent at it, and my wife did well with maths in school too so we both understood things a bit more easily and were more able to help, but it was frustrating that our methods didn't match the new ones. My niece actually was doing quite well once she tried each of the questions the way I explained, and the main problem was just the confusion of the different methods was stressing her out in the moment. I told her to take a few breaks to watch TV in between so she could calm down before the next set of questions, and that gave me some time to look over them and figure out how to explain them too her when she got stuck again.
Im going to ruin your day: Its not that they cannot grasp it. Its that they _dont want to_ grasp it. They dig their heels in and vehemently fight against learning to protect their bigotry Its why people who genuinely dont understand tend to not be so mean
It's not that they can't understand it, it's that they don't accept it. Loads of people think gendered behaviour is literally encoded in our DNA, and mandated by God, not a social construct.

Never mind the whole trying to prevent people going out of state and trying to charge people with murder. This "pro-life" bullshit is 100% about control and degrading women, not about any desire to save babies.

I’m from Indiana. I left the country soon after college so missed a lot of the crap Pence tried to do. It hasn’t gotten any better Although, I do find it hilarious that people were tweeting their menstrual cycle status at him for a while 😂
i like how you suggested the math teacher discuss complex things that don't matter yet as a side thing because i actually had a teacher that did that, one of my classmates decided to show off and bring decimals into the lesson about basic division and i love how she handled it, she didn't shut him down, she rolled with it, she went into just enough detail about decimals and negatives to explain that yes, what we were learning that day was not the full picture, but the full picture was too broad to cover, so she was laying the outline and foundation first
As other people have said, I feel it would be amazing if you made a video specifically about abuse and the stranglehold that manipulators can establish on their targeted victims. I have a friend who went through a 6 year relationship with a manipulator. He broke her down slowly and for a long time, she had no idea it was happening. He had others convinced that she was unhinged when her outbursts became more frequent. She wondered if she was crazy and thought she was the stem of all their problems. Now she is working through the long and hard process of recovering and finding herself again, which includes reforming her trust in others. You helped me see more clearly what he was doing and I was able to communicate that to her. She eventually broke free of his cycles of manipulation and they are no longer together. Thank you for your insight. Your videos help people in big ways. I like when you get serious about certain topics and describe them with sincere care and intellect. This topic and your stance on it is something that needs to be broadcasted and accessible to those who need to see it. So if you have the time to do so, please make a video centered around this.
Men when they see another man being abused on social media: "man up. This wouldn't happen if you acted like a real man" Men when women speak out about abuse: "Men also suffer from abuse! What about male victims?" 🙃
They’re just horrible people who just want to crap on everyone and probably abuse both men and women. I met a guy who was bullied terribly at his factory job. He’s quiet and didn’t join in when they were talking shit trying to “outman” each other. So he became a target. But it was a really good paying job in an area with not many choices. Just so toxic. I’ve always hoped it would get better, but with people like Andrew Tate around and lots of young kids or teens buying into his hateful grift it’s not looking good. Some will grow out of it but these are formative years, and many will grow up believing that crap. Sports cars aren’t a measure of your worth and happiness comes from love not just sex. He didn’t get wealthy by acting like he did. He had money from kickboxing which made people treat him differently and now he’s grifting tons of money from his followers.
The men that do that are weaponizing men's abuse and the male mental health crisis to silence any woman who speaks up about her own abuse. They don't want to think about how men can be awful and abuse woman because they're too busy playing victim when it's convenient.
@@medusathedecepticon I know. It’s shocking full grown men participate in it. How people don’t think about what they’re actually doing to his life astounds me.
„Do you think the heart and emotions are a synonym for Monopoly with all the games you are playing?“ This is such an elegant way of calling someone a poo, I am deeply impressed.
18:57 This is actually true (at least with cats and I just kinda assume it's the same with dogs). This is why they're so attached to the one who feeds them, they respect them the most because they think they're fantastic hunters and think they can keep them safe. The best way to bond with pets is by giving them food (still play with them and stuff tho-).
8:40 so, something really cool, my biology teacher actually explained that everything is a lot more complicated and thst gender isn't sex, and everything is a spectrum with two kinda peaks around male and female, and so we're going to simplify it by just talking about male and females and we will learn about other things later. She did a really good job of quickly explaining it!
Yeah, a lot of things with humans and nature are a spectrum and aren't one or the other. To think that gender and sex are fixed things that can't deviate from the "norm" is scientifically false. Nothing in nature or in life is one or the other, there are *always* deviations and different variations of how things present in the world.
Just the idea of someone responding "I'm Batman." to the question of them accidentally leaving out Kink equipment... it's just, 🤭😂. Such a funny thing to say. 😂💚
It’s because cats have boundaries, and they lash out when people cross those boundaries. Women are more likely to understand that since a lot of us have had our boundaries disrespected, especially by men.
Cats are particularly to who they like. People don't understand them so that's probably why. It's kinda hilarious since TS has a boyfriend anyway she's not alone and single. She's in a relationship.
I mean, the Taylor Swift thing is a bit more nuanced than that. They're calling her a random woman with a cat, but it's not about that, or her not settling down and having children, or any of the other million things they say it's about. Taylor Swift, as crazy as this seems, is a tangible threat to the balance of power in the U.S.. Millions of adoring fans. I love Swifties, but they devoted on a level that approaches unhinged. Which was off their radar until she took a side politically, and advised her following to do the same. Suddenly, it becomes obvious that she potentially has enough political capital to-- And again, I understand this sounds crazy in a vacuum-- actually single-handedly swing the 2024 election.

One of the best pianists I know told me this gold nugget for improvisation: “When I make a mistake while playing, I play it again, and again, until it sounds right.” If you stop when you make a mistake, EVERYONE will know, regardless of musical skill. If you do it again (especially in jazz), people will often not even notice or think you’re just doing an “extended technique”.
It would be awesome if you could use your platform to illuminate **cough** how abuse can sneak up on someone. So many people don't even know they are being abused or manipulated because of the "frog in the pot" nature of it.
As someone who works with elementary schoolers in special education, I get asked a lot of questions (maybe because I’ll answer what I can if we have time or the topic is serious). I usually answer questions with the simple parts first that are more developmentally appropriate and follow that with “it’s actually more complicated than that irl but this is what you need to know now” and I’ll answer follow up questions the best I can. I usually end up saying things like “I don’t know” or “I don’t know it well enough to explain” and kids will typically accept this especially if I follow up with comments about how they can find out and who else they can ask (or when in school they might expect to learn more). I think we run into so many of these bad takes when teachers refuse to acknowledge they might be wrong or not know something. Which is baffling to me-we model learning from mistakes and are only human…how would acknowledging that we don’t know everything and that we can make mistakes be anything other than beneficial to the kids learning from us?
Because society has pressured people into this false image of perfection that denies all faults, mistakes are to be mocked and disdained, questions are not to be asked, only answers should be known Its wretched
BRAVO❣️I was a teacher like you, often explained things not on the schedule but asked by students, gave them the main points, + where to find out more. I frequently said IDK, and helped students & myself find the answers. As a former honors student, a much praised and awarded teacher I was very happy to help my students learn HOW to learn, not regurgitate government dictated facts. I was very proud to have worked in Canada, in the field, b4 it changed. Happily retired now❣️
My mom was a college professor and her college required a "freshman seminar" with no fixed topic. It was something unknown chosen jointly by the professor and the students and the idea was for the professor to model how an experienced learner masters new material.
Oh that situation with the 62K spent on onlyfans is even more weird than you realise. While that is a genuine account of someone in the world, that dude in the photo is not him. The girls agency or whatever just grabbed a random dude and asked if they could put him in this and pay him like 500 bucks, just to make this a type of ad to get people talking about her page. And despite not actually being real this guy was willing to get a tattoo of the girl to keep up the story. By the time he went on the no-jumper podcast to talk about the situation the amount has risen from 62K to 90K.

Most people who say you're a snowflake for getting offended by what they say will 100% get offended by what you say in retaliation, it's adorable
We all know it's not progressives throwing months long tantrums over a random influencer drinking a shitty beer. In fact, I literally just watched a video about the ancient earth and there were people freaking out about "leftist propaganda" because it mentioned that the climate has changed.
Gotta love the projection!
When people complain about how easy others are to offend, I become unreasonably curious as to what will offend THEM.
On the rare occasions I decide to interact, I just laugh at them and call them a snowflake back

I'm a trauma researcher currently working on a study of male experiences of having intimate partner violence perpetrated against them. An awareness video would be fantastic because so many people don't recognise the signs that they're in an abusive relationship until it's too late.
Goodness, yes please it needs to be talked about
Thats goes for any kind of abusive relationship ... took me a long time to see the damage my family did to me and that its not normal
Many men still won't realise or admit it afterwards. My ex talks about a particular ex of his as being horrible but refuses to call her emotionally abusive, which she was, and wouldn't seek therapy. She belittled him and shamed him for having emotions and he says it made him depressed to be with her when he has no history of mental illness. It was to the point that I had real issues getting him to trust or talk to me at first (wouldn't tell me his interests in case I mocked them!). I still don't understand. I guess most men don't see emotional abuse as 'real' abuse.
@@lemolea9571 society treats the idea of a man being abused as something he should be ashamed and embarrassed of, which causes men to refuse to acknowledge the abuse they went through as abuse.
Men are also told that therapy is for "weak" people, which pushes them further away from accepting help.
Some people refuse to acknowledge how bad traumatic events were because they'd rather pretend it didn't happen or that it "wasn't that bad" because they convinced themselves when it was happening that it wasn't that bad as a way to get through it. But once they're out, they don't want to think about it, so they continue pretending because otherwise they'd have to dig through a wound that they'd rather pretend isn't there. That wound can't heal until they dig all the rocks and dirt and rot out, but doing that is painful.

@@blitzboy2934 Accurate.
cats are the product of ten thousand generations where the ones that survived to breed were the ones the humans liked. They're congenitally desperate to fit in and get our approval. Through most of that time, showing us that they were good hunters was the best way to achieve that. When they bring you their prey it's not in order to feed you, it's so that you will give them approval. They caught a good mouse, well done.
@@mamasimmerplays4702that ignores all scientific studies on cats thus far???

A man trying to date women saying “feminism sucks” in their profile is like a person applying to work in a hospital stating on their resume that they don’t believe in science or medicine.
If only that isn't a real thing that happens... Sigh...
It becomes even more concerning the older you get. I'm 30 on a dating app, and there are 30+ year olds that have profiles like this.
I have multiple chronic disabilities, which cause me to be in the hospital a lot. Like "I'm on a first-name basis with many employees" a lot. The amount of hospital staff that are anti medicine conspiracy theorists is way too high... This was very scary during peak pandemic...
"I want to date you, but I don't think you deserve fair treatment"- that guy
That reminds me of some of them anti-vax doctors/nurses out there.
I'm convinced that some straight men make their dating bio with impressing other men in mind rather than trying to actually date women. Like it's just homosocial machismo.
They might not understand the difference.
This! I’ve been saying if you style your physicality/profile around what appeals to you, you’re just going to attract other men precisely because it appeals to you, a man.

Bullying is the slow erosion of another person's self esteem. It can get so bad, a person might not feel worthy of living. And it's done to build up the bully's own self esteem, leeching off their target's power. It's disgusting, inexcusable, and anyone who excuses it is ignorant or guilty.
Yeah, I pretty early on decided to BE the bigger Person and Just ignore the Things Said to me . . . I thought they did Not bother me that much but at some Point they start to give me wrong compliments . . . .IT Hurt so much worse cause I "knew" No one would ever seriously compliment me . . . .iven If IT IS an established Joke, even If Out know they are Just saying Things to boost their Ego and you where Just a convinient target, literally No Matter how rational you are and know IT IS Not true . . . .If ITS al you hear you start to believe IT . . .i have an endless sea of Things thrown at my head that contradicts every even genuinly ment comment. AI am almost 30 now, the bullying happened Up to my a Level, and I still struggles taking compliments AS such. Knowing they did Not actually mean IT did Not Help in the least . . . .
Bullying should never BE tolerated, IT errodes you even If you feel Like IT does Not and you are above it

@@SingingSealRiana Why do you write words like "it" and "as" all in capitalized letters?
I am just gonna add that people who bully do deserve help with their own issues. They're bullying cause they don't have a healthy coping mechanisms. Bullying is just an unhealthy coping mechanism usually tied to people who feel either insecure, are stuck in a power struggle and on the losing end or they struggle with themselves.
It kinda makes them a lot less terrifying and powerful if you look at how miserable they gotta be to hurt someone else.

I once failed a 2nd grade spelling test. Because I wrote in cursive. Which I taught myself a year before. My mother, a teacher, then went to my teacher.
My mother- was he right?
Teacher- yes, but, he shouldn't have been taught cursive yet.
Mom- so, he got it right. Fix it.
A kid should never be punished for advancing their education on their own.
Honestly it's kinda weird how the education system will push down kids who are ahead of their peers so they fit into the system's definition of where they should be knowledge-wise. I went to a great pre-K and was super bored throughout elementary school, was even offered both the gifted program and to skip first grade.
@@ferretqueen2908 Not the education system, but select teachers. Mostly my teachers have rewarded forward-thinking, but in 11th grade, my friend (who was taking a 12th grade math course alongside an 11th) complained her teacher had made her redo a test question because she'd used an advanced technique
I remember being both congratulated and chastised for reading small print books in the school library too early.
I had that happen to me too, in a math class. I was doing stuff the way I would've been taught the following yr cause my dad taught me but apparently I showed the work incorrectly. I got the same answer tho lol, just with an easier faster method
@@cottoncandyjkkj This was 100% me. I failed algebra because, while I was showing my work, it was in a way that made sense for me so even though I got the answer right, I'd always only get half points. Turns out I was solving the algebra in the way one might for calculus and trigonometry which are college level maths that I just happened to excel at lmao But because of the failures, I just said "I'm bad at maths" and left it at that. Any fun I had with maths was killed thanks to my high school teacher.

Props to that 18 year old for getting the reasons to avoid him like the plague out in the open immediately instead of waiting for the first date to prove he's a total butthole.
Exactly why I think trying to restrict what people can say is a bad thing. Letting people talk about all their shitty opinions makes it easier to know to avoid the. If people have to keep that stuff secret you could get unfortunately close to someone before you find out they're a horrible person.
Yep, I always appreciate the red flags flying high. That way I totally know who to side step or out and out run from.
I went back to using tinder and such a couple months ago. You see this SO often. Either they post all this negative stuff. And somewhere they almost always complain about people swiping left on them or never responding to their messages. Like dude, it's very obvious why. I've swiped right on a few based on just their picture then went and read their bio before messging because it was a match (regardless of who messaged first.) And theor conversations always turn bad, pretty quick. Like one even got mad and insulted me because he was nice enough once we talked, but I didn't send him a pic after he added me to snap. If he had just said "what? No pic?" I would've just explained I font lime my picture taken amd thay I'm at work but when I go on break I'll take a quick selfish for him. But je immediately followed it up with an insult amd telling me I'm a waste of his snap. So instead o Saif I am at work and that if he couldn't understand that he's going to take a backseat to that (as he is a total stranger,) he can feel free to remove me. He sent Ike 4 messages and a voice clip. He never removed me. I removed him like 2 days later after only opening the messages by accident.
People who victim blame are in the same category as people who believe that someone who does bad things only does bad thing, and therefor is easily recognizable. They cannot accept the reality where they could easily become a victim of something, therefor they become convinced it's their own actions that prevent it. The idea that the super kind person in their street who shovels their driveway when it snows can also be an abuser just explodes their limited capacity emotional centers into further disfunction.

Dolly Parton had literally been performing in public since she was very young. She grew up very poor, her parents paid the doctor who delivered her with a sack of oatmeal. Where would she or her family of 14 get the money for Dolly to dress as a girl if she was really a boy? Don't crap on Dolly, she's a national treasure
Doesn't she pull a Clark Kent / Hannah Montana in order to go in public comfortably? No wig, regular clothes... The legend herself is even more of a legend
She even created Dollywood to bring money and tourism to her impoverished home community. And we can't forget her reading programme for kids.
Dolly is genuinely an incredible human being. I quietly refer to her as Dolly Ha'Kadosh (Dolly the Sacred).
Elvis wanted to cover I will always love you. Dolly was really excited at the thought of Elvis singing one of her songs, but Elvis's manager, Col Tom Parker, insisted on at least 1/2 the publishing credit. So Dolly turned down Elvis. She agreed for Whitney Houston to cover it for the movie, The Bodyguard and Dolly kept her writing & publishing rights. Having Whitney cover it, made Dolly a whole lot of money
Dolly wrote I Will Always Love You for Portner Wagner. He'd given her first big break , having her on his show and they sang many duets together. When she left his show, to have a solo career, she wrote the song as a thank you for all his help

Watch nothing but good news channels and puppies frolicking in the grass or whatever it is to keep your cortisol low and your endorphins running.

I was in a relationship where i bartered sexual favours for chores. I later learned that this is super toxic and a form of sexual abuse. Instead of selling my body for money, I was selling it for basic needs and equality in my relationship while dissociating during. Chore for him and chore for me. Never again will I do this and my current partner understands and respects this. Intimacy/Consent should be FRIES: Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific. Bartering for it is neither freely given nor enthusiastic.
Good for you that you’re doing better! I’ve never heard the FRIES acronym, but that’s actually really good to remember.
The interesting detail with Bethany Beal (the woman in the pic) is that based on the content she posts she (a SAHM) hates doing chores and loves sex. Dave doing the housework is a reward for her as much as having sex after. That said: I hate that you had to live like that and am glad you´re doing better.
I like that you say sex is a chore for you, lol.
You "later learned"? So you didn't have a problem with it at the time?
yes, this on so many levels. If the partner doesn't do their part of the chores I see only 2 options, talk it out and make them understand or leave them and find someone who is willing to pull equal weights
it's true that transphobes' arguments around "basic biology" or "middle school biology" can actually be used against them without changing much - _basic_ means not everything is taken into account and it's simplified according to what teachers thinks is understandable to middle school children. I had never thought of turning it around like this.
Transphobes think the oversimplified version of biology they were taught in middle school overrides the field of modern biology, and that science stopped advancing when they stopped learning. That sounds like solipsism to me. They tend to be the same people who think climate change isn't real because they don't feel it getting hotter.

Some years ago, there was a group of baboons in South Africa who started to forage for food in a large city garbage dump. The alpha males in the group obviously bullied the lower ranking members out of their fair share and hogged most of the food for themselves, as alphas will do. However, there were infectious and toxic agents in that food that killed all the alphas because they ate so much more than the other members of the group. So, the group endend up being made of only low ranking individuals, and became more relaxed, happier and healthier than they had ever been, basically the sanest and happiest bunch of baboons ever.

I had a teacher tell me a ladybird wasn't an insect....
@@94DeathAngel worse, she said it was a beetle, not an insect. I tried to explain to her that a beetle was a type of insect, but I was only 9 so she didn't believe me.
And ladybird is the correct name (in the UK). A bug must have piercing mouth parts, which a ladybird does not have.
Not that that makes a difference, centapedes don't actually have 100 pairs of legs either but here we are. 🤣
@@SpyderQueen1988 The naming of the centipede probably went something like this: "Oh my god, that things has way too many legs! That's like a hundred legs or something! We'll call it a centipede, I don't care, just get it away from me!"
Honestly that sounds like someone who cares more about winning a stupid argument than actually being correct. Seriously did she think snakes were like giant worms or something?
@@PenguinLord10 basically yes, same with the millipede, they were named before the scientific method was established, so no one though to pick one up and count them.

One thing I find funny about the whole "Alpha/Beta/etc" is that in gaming terms, an Alpha test is very rugged and flawed. A Beta test improves from the Alpha but still has its issues. And technically a fully released/complete game is supposed to be more put together and robust. I know that's not where they're getting the terms from, but it's funny to think they're basically screaming about how incomplete and flawed they are.
I know current pre release games have skewed the term, but iirc "Alpha" means they are still adding features, while "Beta" means they are done adding features and are just trying to get the bugs out.
And alpha particles have the least penetration compared to beta and gamma particles
@battlesheep2552 I think beta is less of "it's basically done," because I've seen games that changed a lot from say their "open beta" release to their final update. It's more of "it's playable, and we're testing the waters." Beta is still open to improvement.
Source: Disney's Dreamlight Valley is STILL considered an Open Beta build and they're constantly adding and building on with every update.
I find it funny because they're terms from omegaverse. I initially thought all these dudes were openly engaging in some homosexual roleplay stuff & thought "This is a pretty niche fetish but okay... Be your true selves my dudes".

30:56 the sheer emotion in that one swear.... we can tell that although Click was presenting calmly, he truly hates when people misunderstand this. It caught me off guard how angry he sounds here
I find it funny how every time I hear someone say alpha male or betas, it reminds me of a fanfiction subgenre known as the omegaverse, which I'm certain those "alpha males" don't want to be associated with.
I always think of like the werewolf teen girl fiction books I read when I was younger🤣
Is that the one where all the people from the "this kind of guy/girl is better than this kind" images are dating each other?
I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s based on! Well, the original study that actually was false about wolves ( like the hierarchy can happen only in captivity, and not in the wild) and even the person who did the study says it’s incorrect. But yes, the whole Manoverse thing is based on the wolves!
@@hmnhntrit’s a fan fic type where characters are lumped into three categories. Alpha (male and female have dongs [females don’t get pregnant] and dominate omegas) betas (male and female are just kinda normal) and omegas (males and females can get pregnant very subservient to alphas and the males cannot impregnate anyone)
Throw in animal heats and some dog based genitals and hey presto the most cursed (yet somehow still hot) nsfw fan fiction to exist
fun fact: the researcher that introduced the idea of the alpha wolf realized the inaccuracies in his study, retracted his paper, and did his study again observing wolves in nature instead of captivity, and you know what he found?
wolves more or less stick together in a family unit, there is an alpha, it's usually either a semi elected position, the wolves choose to follow either the most capable and level headed out of the group OR, the alpha is an experienced mother of several generations, in either case the alpha takes on the role not only of a leader but a care taker
He he was and is still based.
It makes me want to reply to these "alphas" by asking "oh, so you're the oldest one in your social group, so you help take care of the grandkids? Or you're the 'mom friend'?"

Considering that I’ve heard people saying that a teacher being married is too mature content (even for a straight teacher) for kids to hear about, I don’t see them thinking a trans teen having a say online as too much to handle.

As someone who suffered through an Alabama high school education, that one about the teacher not admitting she was wrong was INFURIATING! I have personally had one of my teachers tell me, "if I cant do it in my head, you shouldn't be able to." If I'd had my current bullshit threshold, I'd have sarcastically and loudly apologized for being smarter than her. Another one told me it wasnt her job to teach the equations. Kicked me out of the classroom because I didnt agree with her. I had to call my dad from the office and tell him to come get me becuase I was ready to punch my teacher. Oh, and he had to go get my things because I wasnt allowed back in the classroom for them...
I remember one time in middle school, we were talking about numeral prefix and the teacher asked us to name words that had these.
So I said "bisexual" and the teacher went very condescendently "Oh no that has nothing to do with what we're talking about" and I got really sad because how much I performed at school was the only thing I could use to value myself.
Sometimes school just sucks.
My third grade teacher told us that there were no words in the English language that have three vowels in a row. I disagreed _quietly_ to myself, since the teacher was _notorious_ for penalizing the kids he didn't like.
The next week, one of our spelling words was _beautiful._ 🙄
I had a middle school teacher tell me I was pronouncing my own last name wrong. It's a short but weird name, so I'm used to people butchering it and having to correct them. This was the first time I had someone confidently tell me my entire family was saying it wrong, though. I calmly explained the people in the country the name comes from say it like we do first time, and he gave me detention for insubordination.
@@RandomFandomDragon ugh, I had a substitute do something similar to me. She called something that was definitely not my last name, but I was pretty sure was meant to be my last name. I put my hand up and asked "Did you mean [my name]? The person with that last name is not in this class". She said no, I know how to read, crossed my name out, continued taking attendance, and then gave me detention for being in the wrong classroom and sent me to the principals office. The thing is I can guarantee she'd seen the word she was saying spelled before because it was a holiday. It would be like seeing Crima, pronouncing it Christmas, and then giving the person detention for asking if they meant Crima. The detention was voided thankfully.

Dear Clickie-wickie, PLEASE make that video. Things like how abusers dig themselves into a victim's life like a tick is extremely important to share. You are great at explaining things in an easily digestible way. As a content creator with an epic reach, it could do so much good. I am a thriving former victim so it means a lot to me that others better understand such a complex topic. It helps others recognize abuse so they can avoid it, escape it, and/or support those who need it. Whether you do or don't make the video I'll always be a fan of my fellow August millennial from the last year of the decade that gave us the iconic DeLorean ❤
Right? I see SO MANY people saying "why didn't you just leave? I would've just left"
But it's not that simple, because abuse never begins in an obviously way. It's always tiny and insidious.
It's like the frog boiling in the pot of water so slowly it doesn't realize the water is even boiling.
People don't really understand how abuse like that works and how someone could slowly gain control of your life, tear down your self esteem, isolate and manipulate you into staying, until they've got you trapped in hell. And most people won't understand it until they've been through it themselves.
But a creator they like, shedding light on how it works and sharing their own experiences would be HUGE in educating people

This was much, much worse. She had lost the fetus then her water broke prematurely and could not get an abortion because of Ohio law to remove the dead fetus. She tried multiple times at the hospital before this happened.
There are also racial overtones as she is Black. 😞
Something similar happened in Poland. That woman unfortunately died because of sepsis. Like... Ultimate wtf.
She’s the woman who was told she could only have an abortion after she went septic and was dying, isn’t she? Where she was counseled to wait in the parking lot with a friend and have that friend call them when she began to die? Unfortunately, the reason they’re able to charge her with mutilation of a corpse is because at 21/22 weeks, the body is fully formed. This is one where Click either didn’t stop to think before opining about laws and not knowing biology. 😔 Because she flushed and plunged the fetus, which was found stuck in the pipes, it sort of IS desecration of a corpse. 😞 I don’t think the defense argument that it’s not a corpse because it was never alive outside the womb is a very strong or convincing argument, unfortunately.
She’s very, very lucky that the autopsy reports and testimony showed the fetus died before passing through the birth canal. There have been cases from BEFORE Roe v Wade was overturned where people giving birth in toilets have been charged with murder because autopsies have been unable to tell if the fetus was alive at birth or not, so zealous prosecutors decide yes and do a full court press on an already-traumatized person… often a teenager. 🤬
I hope the grand jury has compassion, but… I am not expecting it, in Watts’ case. The prosecution apparently has gruesome photos and the male prosecutor is willing to use them. He’s also doubling down hard on racist stereotypes. 🤬 At the same time, a female assistant prosecutor has said the county was required by the state AG to move forward with prosecution, that they don’t expect the grand jury to return a finding this month, and that 20% of cases aren’t indicted and that’s it - and it’s pretty clear that’s what she hopes will happen.
The truly awful thing? Her only hospital for care was a Catholic hospital, and if they had induced her immediately on arrival to the hospital, it would have still been legal under the law - because she was 21 weeks and 5 days. She became 21 weeks and 6 days after an eight hour wait in the ED,… a wait that happened because the Catholic hospital was debating what to do with their lawyers and priests. If she’d had the option of a secular hospital, none of this would have happened.
I know she’s got money for the legal battle and (importantly) for medical care and counseling, but I really hope she’s able to sue the hospital, in time, for putting her in this situation.
@@Unurinen Also in Ireland. Savita Halappanavar, died of sepsis after being denied an abortion despite needing one for medical reasons.
There was also another case in Ireland of a woman who was brain-dead, but because she had been pregnant, the doctors kept her on life support despite there being zero chances of the fetus living and developing to viability, because of how harsh the laws against abortion are in that country
@@raerohan4241 That's really sad :(
In our country (Czech republic) was also one woman who was brain-dead, but doctors managed to save the baby - with consent of the husband. The woman was on life support for four months if I remember correctly. But it was only to try to save the little girl, not because of some stupid laws or religionistic nonsence (our laws are good in this matter as far as I can say).
B-b-but all the alt right conservative pro-lifers promised medical necessary abortions would be protected! It's almost like they lie to and trick the uneducated and the gullible to get their way...
I think the reason that a lot of people are targeting GTA VI and calling for a ban is because they forget that video games are a media much in the same way as music or TV shows. They allow for expression and ideas to come to life. Instead they see it as a child's toy like that's the sole reason for them to exist in the world. It's tailor made for children, it's supposed to a tailor made expression of someone's imagination. Unfortunately, they'll never realize this because their heads are so far up their own asses that if they sneezed, they'd rupture their stomach.

OMG!!! I never expected project to be here....
Please do the video on abuse and victim blaming. Non physical abuse was the focus of my PhD and part of what I explored was the lack of recognition. Spreading awareness of both the harm of non physical behaviours and what they look like is so important. Challenging the victim blaming narrative is also crucial. So many people equate signs of injury with harm and assume someone who hasn't been physically harmed is therefore not in as bad a situation and can easily leave. They then judge those who haven't left the situation as responsible for the ongoing abuse. So much of the narrative is around victims changing their behaviour instead of the perpetrators.
A cop or some investigator from a precinct (I was there to inquire about pressing charges) told me abuse wasn’t “your mom being mean to you”. There’s everyone’s dose of depression. Anyway, keep spreading awareness. I need to stay away from people so I can’t do it myself. Thank god I never called the cops as a kid. It probably saved my life. Also I likely said it was verbal and physical, I mean I was asking about battery charges, of course there was physical.
Yep, people blame me for the emotional abuse and medical neglect my parents put me through. Like what was I supposed to do? Walk out the door at 11 years old? I even had someone accuse me (as an adult) of abusing my parents for refusing to cut their lawn when my father was injured. Not only do they live in a different city, so the money they were offering wouldn't even cover travel expenses, I would've had a miss an entire work shift because they wanted it cut at a very specific time and day of week. Which over the course of a month would've cost me about my entire rent. Oh yeah, AND I'M ALLERGIC TO GRASS!!!!
But apparently that makes me a spoiled brat. Ah yes, the "spoiled" behavior of not wanting to spend months with a rash (takes about two weeks to heal, they wanted it cut weekly) at the great payment of....-$2,000. Pass
Yes! We honestly always need more awareness in general but especially in there being more then one form of abuse. Me and my brother by all rights could've and probably should've been taken away from our family as little kids when a neighbor called the cops for one or both of us screaming at the top of our lungs. This was around 20yrs ago and cop said basically if there's no mark, there's no abuse. Our insane sperm donor put a lock on the outside of our shared bedroom door, liked to record us crying to play back to us while laughing and mocking us and he'd do this over any slight thing he disagreed with, but he only hit us "occasionally" so it was "fine". I'm still not 100% emotionally recovered from that trauma, emotional abuse is a serious issue that some downplay so much to everyone's detriment
I love how r/facepalm is always a mix of people embarrassing themselves in mostly harmless ways, societal institutions in desperate need of reform, and people testing my faith in humanity

The math thing is SO real.
One time in middle school the teacher asked a question to the class, and I answered using a nomenclature you don't use until a later grade. The teacher not only said I was wrong but insulted me before the entire class calling me stupid. Another student she loved answered using the simpler nomenclature, and she praised her and gave her a high mark.
I was 11. I'm 21 now and I still think about it at least once every two months. Italy is wild!
The part with the truth nuggets from Andrew Tate and similar "Alphas" really is true. I once saw a live stream about the whole issue, a streamer reacting to all the sexist and dangerous stuff Tate said and one guy commented "but it's not everything and it's out of context". After being asked what he meant was a good thing Tate did/said, his answer was "he said you should drink sparkling water and that's a pretty good tip!"
Exact same thing I see with people defending Jordan Peterson.
They really think "Well not literally everything he says is exactly wrong" is a real defense.
In second grade I had to stay in at lunch and recess because of medical reasons, and so I started idly learning cursive from the back page of the spelling workbook. My teacher came in and saw me practicing on the blackboard and told me that we didn't learn that until third grade and banned me from doing it. Up until that point I was just idly doing something because I was bored, but you'd better believe I took that book home and learned the daylights out of that cursive alphabet that night. lol I was so offended that she had the audacity to tell me I couldn't learn something.
You're only allowed to be mediocre, dammit! Stop being ambitious and taking an interest in learning!

To address what you said near the end-ish of the video: I think having a serious video about victim blaming and properly educating others about it will be incredibly powerful. You can give voice to those who have no words to describe it, you can give victims a chance to feel important, you can really make a huge impact in peoples lives and I think that is a phenomenal thing if you are actually up for it! I hope the script-writing goes well
I used to be a teacher, it nearly killed me, emotionally and physically. I was sad to leave this profession into which I had sunk so much effort, but I was simply unable to continue. I look at the state of education now two decades later, and I am so glad I quit when I did. It is not giving children a true education, it is schooling to pass exams, and to fit into a limited society. UK based.
It's gotten much worse recently, they're cutting out subjects like art and music and even cutting down on English time in favour of a narrow focus on getting office jobs that make money. Nothing wrong with making a living, but the people in charge don't value anytilhing unless it's monetised and they can tax it.
I have a teacher right now who doesn’t actually teach the subject I’m learning for my gcse, she just reads of a piece of paper trying to make us memorise specific stuff not bothering to see if we understand it

Damn. I don't think I've ever seen Click angry enough to actually swear properly. Normally he does one of his replacement words like "frick" or something, but I've legit never heard him drop a hard "f*ck" before.
He dropped quite a few while playing games with his boyfriends recently. Threw me for a loop too 😂
@@UnicornsPoopRainbows yeah, I think it's easier to get away with on twitch. UA-cam will demonetize you over anything.
@@UnicornsPoopRainbows also amazing username 🦄💩🌈
It is a rare occurrence!
Right? It actually surprised me! I guess that's a good way to show how truly upsetting the topic is
I LITERALLY have a girl in my class who actually thinks that she doesn’t need a vaccine because she isn’t sick 😭
I tried telling her but I accidentally said it a little too blunt and now she’s calling me a murderer
I'm sorry to hear that dude. Hope she at least stopped calling you a murderer.
at least natural selection will do its job
@@medusathedecepticon Well I (mostly) stopped talking to her so I think she forgot
But still-
I probably would've snapped and said she's the murderer for willfully endangering people around her / throwing away group protection... I hope you won't be too hard on yourself for bad phrasing in the heat of the moment. Can confirm it's not a great feeling. 🙃
I once heard a kid who said he didn't need a mask because he tested negative for Covid. (During the pandemic)
please DO that video! You have a great way with words, you're compassionate, and you have so many subscribers, I think you could literally save lives! I am 61, and over the past few years, have watched you mature (maybe wrong word), but you're more serious, and less tolerant of BS, and the fact that you are willing to take the time, and make a video about such a delicate subject, speaks volumes about your character. You have my respect, fwiw
💯 agree
All of this! This channel knows when to have fun but also when to be serious, a wonderful mix that I fully appreciate and learned to appreciate while getting older myself (mid 30s). A video on this topic would be fantastic.
Which subject
@@ZK-ib2wp victim blaming 29:07
Would be awesome to see this video from The Click! Having a good and serious breakdown of how those kinds of situations happen even to the well informed people and how insidious it really is would be pretty well received as a whole.
About the math stuff, I'd get in trouble at elementary school for skipping to further chapters and doing more advanced math after I learned the rule in the chapter we were working on, I'd get bored doing an endless amount of almost identical math problems to repeat the rule so I'd just do the next rule. Killed my love of math being stuck doing the same rule over and over till I was bored out of my mind. I'd just quickly complete the assigned tasks then read cartoons and books under my desk, then I'd get in trouble for reading, eventually got a pretty bad maladaptive daydreaming problem, just because they wouldn't let me get enough brain stimuli in class.
So the two women with the assault rifles at 33:10 are Israeli soldiers on leave, who are legally required to carry their service rifle at all times. I wonder how the same person would react to an attempt to actually normalize what is depicted in that photo, that is 2 years of mandatory military service to every 18 year old regardless of gender...
If we were to reinstate conscription it would have to be regardless of gender, no? I do agree that that person clearly lost out on a lot of nuance and context in their post tho haha
@@subtopewdiepie4638 I kept hearing about "apply the draft to women" from the feminism crowd back in the 00s but idk if anything ever came from that. And I'm lazy and don't want to look it up.
@@somegeesehonestly, I think that was a vocal minority. A lot of people who role in those circles tend to be pretty vehemently anti-war, so their position is usually abolishing the draft rather than expanding it.
Then again, the 2000s was kind of a weird time politically because 9/11 made a lot of otherwise reasonable Americans have this kind of bloodlust that I don't think really went away until bin laden died.
More context:
That way there is also another layer of public protection.
Also people cannot just buy a gun in Israel without a reason and without having been aproved psycologically(people who are not would not be allowed in the army).
"""Soldiers""".
No, those are terrorists.
if I had the chance to, I'd go on a date with that guy from the dating app, JUST to shit on all his beliefs and see how long he can go without being offended and "just ignore it"
10:55 confidence is key. I tell my wife all the time that the imperfections she sees in the crafts she sells are not something those buying her crafts will see.
Even if they do, it just proves how it was handmade with skill and effort over being mass produced.

The Click, One topic, Jamie (and others I can't think of right now) are like the most confident men that don't question their masculinity.

First grade my daughter brought home a paper and she was pissed. The assignment was to circle the things that start with a W. My daughter did not circle the shark. Teacher marked it wrong and said it was a whale. It was absolutely a shark. I had to go to school and explain that it was a shark 😅
Remember folks, all cetaceans have horizontal tails. Vertical tail means it's a fish
Reminds me of that scene in Lilo & Stitch.
Pleakley: [After getting sent careening into the ocean by Stitch alongside Jumba, we hear them as the camera focuses on a rocky shore.] “HELP! I don’t like the ocean! *shouts* Oh, look! A friendly little dolphin. They helped out sailors in the war! Heheh, IT’S A SHARK! It’s a shark and it ain’t friendly! It looks like a dolphin, tricky fish, tricky fish! Oh, octopus, help me, [incoherent] octopus is worse than a shark!”
[PLEAKLY crawls onscreen, an octopus over their face.]
Pleakly (cont.): “I hate this planet!”
Not a great teacher apparently.
I wonder how tired she was. I hope she didn’t stick to her guns, that’s the worst
I was helping my niece with her maths homework the other day and the way her teacher wants her to solve things is infuriating! 😭 They had all these convoluted ways of figuring out percentages, and the way multiplication is taught now is so messy that she kept making small mistakes and we had to redo the whole question to see what went wrong because I didn't understand the new method enough to see where she went wrong and fix just that part. She was typing the answers on the computer but we were using some scrap paper to write out whatever she needed to figure it out. She got particularly stuck on some of the questions and I explained a much simpler way to figure them out. She told me "that's not how the teacher said to do it" and "the teacher doesn't like when we do it that way." I told her that the teacher isn't here and won't know what method we used since she was only submitting the final answers, so we're doing it whatever way gets us to the answers lol. She got through all 40 questions in the end and she was able to get all the right answers but it took over 2 hours and we bought the FNAF movie for her as a reward for getting through it all. I now fully understand the "math is math" meme from Incredibles 2... 😅 Schools need to stop changing math!!
Her teacher is probably bound by board requirements. I doubt they just "made up" the method for shits and giggles.
@samos4924 That may be the case, but in that case why do the board requirements keep changing?
No but you and your niece are so real for that; math is my HARDEST subject, and when my parents tried to help me with math hw when I was in elementary/middle/high school, the way they were teaching me didn't match how the teachers were!!!! Hands down one of the MOST infuriating things we had to deal with
@wacula426 Yeah, it makes it so stressful that the methods keep changing :') My niece has the same problem when doing her homework with her mum too because she doesn't understand the new methods either. Her mum even tried googling an explanation of the methods, but they weren't able to figure some them out. I passed my GCSE maths with a good grade without even studying because I'm naturally pretty decent at it, and my wife did well with maths in school too so we both understood things a bit more easily and were more able to help, but it was frustrating that our methods didn't match the new ones. My niece actually was doing quite well once she tried each of the questions the way I explained, and the main problem was just the confusion of the different methods was stressing her out in the moment. I told her to take a few breaks to watch TV in between so she could calm down before the next set of questions, and that gave me some time to look over them and figure out how to explain them too her when she got stuck again.
Pain. As a 6th grader, who loves learning ahead, WTF
Is it that hard for some people to understand...that sex and gender are two different things?
i dont think you know how hard it is for ppl to understand that- and i don't even know why it really shouldnt be that difficult
So many people
Im going to ruin your day: Its not that they cannot grasp it. Its that they _dont want to_ grasp it.
They dig their heels in and vehemently fight against learning to protect their bigotry
Its why people who genuinely dont understand tend to not be so mean
It's not that they can't understand it, it's that they don't accept it. Loads of people think gendered behaviour is literally encoded in our DNA, and mandated by God, not a social construct.
What is the difference ?
You can see the ISS sometimes. There’s a website Spot The Station that lets you know when it will be overhead. It’s a satellite, and you can see it with the naked eye, case closed.
I LOVE when you explain Swedish puns and I would like more please! I would joyfully watch an entire video of you acting out and explaining Swedish puns. Anyone else? Just me? Okay 😞
This would be so cool!
@@missnaomi613Yes, I love this idea!
Definitely not just you! 😂
As a Swede, I laugh so hard in recognition of myself trying to explain puns and wordplay to non Swedish speakers. Comedy gold!
This would be fun . My boyfriend would like it also.
It's way too dangerous for women to use ovulation apps in the US now. They're actually trying to access the info in certain states 😢
Oh, that is disgusting.
@TheDMan2003 yeah. I'm in a pro choice state, so I'm fortunate. Many women are not so lucky and could die without an abortion. It's scary
@@melissaroszkowski8911 Cheese and cripes, America’s going down the drain fast. The land of opportunity is quickly becoming the land of opportunities to be stripped of your freedom.
Yeah. I'm waiting for my state to override the will of the voters and put those kind of laws in effect. Never mind the whole trying to prevent people going out of state and trying to charge people with murder. This "pro-life" bullshit is 100% about control and degrading women, not about any desire to save babies.
If Sweet Potato Hitler takes the white house again, we can start counting down the days to when it's "papers, please" just to leave the state.
I’m from Indiana. I left the country soon after college so missed a lot of the crap Pence tried to do. It hasn’t gotten any better
Although, I do find it hilarious that people were tweeting their menstrual cycle status at him for a while 😂
i like how you suggested the math teacher discuss complex things that don't matter yet as a side thing because i actually had a teacher that did that, one of my classmates decided to show off and bring decimals into the lesson about basic division and i love how she handled it, she didn't shut him down, she rolled with it, she went into just enough detail about decimals and negatives to explain that yes, what we were learning that day was not the full picture, but the full picture was too broad to cover, so she was laying the outline and foundation first
As other people have said, I feel it would be amazing if you made a video specifically about abuse and the stranglehold that manipulators can establish on their targeted victims. I have a friend who went through a 6 year relationship with a manipulator. He broke her down slowly and for a long time, she had no idea it was happening. He had others convinced that she was unhinged when her outbursts became more frequent. She wondered if she was crazy and thought she was the stem of all their problems. Now she is working through the long and hard process of recovering and finding herself again, which includes reforming her trust in others.
You helped me see more clearly what he was doing and I was able to communicate that to her. She eventually broke free of his cycles of manipulation and they are no longer together. Thank you for your insight. Your videos help people in big ways.
I like when you get serious about certain topics and describe them with sincere care and intellect. This topic and your stance on it is something that needs to be broadcasted and accessible to those who need to see it. So if you have the time to do so, please make a video centered around this.

Click: "take it with a grain of salt"
UA-cam autocaptions: "take it with the grain assault"
Men when they see another man being abused on social media: "man up. This wouldn't happen if you acted like a real man"
Men when women speak out about abuse: "Men also suffer from abuse! What about male victims?"
🙃
Often times, I would say this sort of thing is from two different groups of people. Sadly, that is not true in this case.
They’re just horrible people who just want to crap on everyone and probably abuse both men and women. I met a guy who was bullied terribly at his factory job. He’s quiet and didn’t join in when they were talking shit trying to “outman” each other. So he became a target. But it was a really good paying job in an area with not many choices. Just so toxic. I’ve always hoped it would get better, but with people like Andrew Tate around and lots of young kids or teens buying into his hateful grift it’s not looking good. Some will grow out of it but these are formative years, and many will grow up believing that crap. Sports cars aren’t a measure of your worth and happiness comes from love not just sex. He didn’t get wealthy by acting like he did. He had money from kickboxing which made people treat him differently and now he’s grifting tons of money from his followers.
The men that do that are weaponizing men's abuse and the male mental health crisis to silence any woman who speaks up about her own abuse. They don't want to think about how men can be awful and abuse woman because they're too busy playing victim when it's convenient.
@@phoenixgirl70I hope things get better for the factory guy
@@medusathedecepticon I know. It’s shocking full grown men participate in it. How people don’t think about what they’re actually doing to his life astounds me.
„Do you think the heart and emotions are a synonym for Monopoly with all the games you are playing?“ This is such an elegant way of calling someone a poo, I am deeply impressed.

This is actually true (at least with cats and I just kinda assume it's the same with dogs). This is why they're so attached to the one who feeds them, they respect them the most because they think they're fantastic hunters and think they can keep them safe. The best way to bond with pets is by giving them food (still play with them and stuff tho-).
8:40 so, something really cool, my biology teacher actually explained that everything is a lot more complicated and thst gender isn't sex, and everything is a spectrum with two kinda peaks around male and female, and so we're going to simplify it by just talking about male and females and we will learn about other things later. She did a really good job of quickly explaining it!
That's pretty neat
That's pretty much how I works. Infinite genders and 3 sexes, right?
Yeah, a lot of things with humans and nature are a spectrum and aren't one or the other. To think that gender and sex are fixed things that can't deviate from the "norm" is scientifically false. Nothing in nature or in life is one or the other, there are *always* deviations and different variations of how things present in the world.
everyone needs a biology teacher like this
@@desirosethorne4429 absolutely! Completely agree!
Just the idea of someone responding "I'm Batman." to the question of them accidentally leaving out Kink equipment... it's just, 🤭😂.
Such a funny thing to say. 😂💚
Meanwhile, you look at batman who's in a relationship with catwoman, Where they both are dressed head to toe In spandex and leather
im still so confused as to why "anti-feminist allpha males" hate women with cats specifically
It's associated with being a "crazy cat lady".
I thought it was because they know cats are superior to them and how dare these women figure that out.
It’s because cats have boundaries, and they lash out when people cross those boundaries. Women are more likely to understand that since a lot of us have had our boundaries disrespected, especially by men.
Cats are particularly to who they like. People don't understand them so that's probably why. It's kinda hilarious since TS has a boyfriend anyway she's not alone and single. She's in a relationship.
I mean, the Taylor Swift thing is a bit more nuanced than that. They're calling her a random woman with a cat, but it's not about that, or her not settling down and having children, or any of the other million things they say it's about. Taylor Swift, as crazy as this seems, is a tangible threat to the balance of power in the U.S.. Millions of adoring fans. I love Swifties, but they devoted on a level that approaches unhinged. Which was off their radar until she took a side politically, and advised her following to do the same. Suddenly, it becomes obvious that she potentially has enough political capital to-- And again, I understand this sounds crazy in a vacuum-- actually single-handedly swing the 2024 election. So, in this instance, this may be partially about hating women, and cats, and women with cats, but as a sum of it's parts, this is about power.
One of the best pianists I know told me this gold nugget for improvisation:
“When I make a mistake while playing, I play it again, and again, until it sounds right.”
If you stop when you make a mistake, EVERYONE will know, regardless of musical skill. If you do it again (especially in jazz), people will often not even notice or think you’re just doing an “extended technique”.
What I learned was ignore it, just keep going
It would be awesome if you could use your platform to illuminate **cough** how abuse can sneak up on someone. So many people don't even know they are being abused or manipulated because of the "frog in the pot" nature of it.
THIS!!! All of this!

As someone who works with elementary schoolers in special education, I get asked a lot of questions (maybe because I’ll answer what I can if we have time or the topic is serious). I usually answer questions with the simple parts first that are more developmentally appropriate and follow that with “it’s actually more complicated than that irl but this is what you need to know now” and I’ll answer follow up questions the best I can. I usually end up saying things like “I don’t know” or “I don’t know it well enough to explain” and kids will typically accept this especially if I follow up with comments about how they can find out and who else they can ask (or when in school they might expect to learn more). I think we run into so many of these bad takes when teachers refuse to acknowledge they might be wrong or not know something. Which is baffling to me-we model learning from mistakes and are only human…how would acknowledging that we don’t know everything and that we can make mistakes be anything other than beneficial to the kids learning from us?
Because society has pressured people into this false image of perfection that denies all faults, mistakes are to be mocked and disdained, questions are not to be asked, only answers should be known
Its wretched
BRAVO❣️I was a teacher like you, often explained things not on the schedule but asked by students, gave them the main points, + where to find out more. I frequently said IDK, and helped students & myself find the answers. As a former honors student, a much praised and awarded teacher I was very happy to help my students learn HOW to learn, not regurgitate government dictated facts. I was very proud to have worked in Canada, in the field, b4 it changed. Happily retired now❣️
My mom was a college professor and her college required a "freshman seminar" with no fixed topic. It was something unknown chosen jointly by the professor and the students and the idea was for the professor to model how an experienced learner masters new material.
