Only the title is 100% accurate bitbucketchip31 August 2022 This is a terrific concept and would have been groundbreaking in competent hands. Unfortunately, the production company was unable to distinguish fact from partial fact from fiction. Further, the interpretation of genuine data was often misguided. Specific problems, using the business episode for examples (though I could have chosen any episode): 1) non-credible sources. Citing some journalist's interpretation of research is not the same a citing the peer-reviewed article. Picking and choosing academic sources who have failed to convince their colleagues is misleading at best. 2) assertion without evidence. "Henry Ford said..." is not proof of anything other than one man's belief. 3) supposition in abstract. To be successful, many of the proposed changes would require everyone to agree. "Shorter work hours will make everyone richer, happier, and..." unemployed unless the entire world agrees to the scheme. Otherwise companies will relocate to regions where productivity is the most cost efficient. 4) lack of experience. What sounds good in abstract is rarely so in the real world. "Paying workers more is a great for business". Sure it is in theory. Problem is "more" is never ending desire of human beings. Eventually the business becomes unprofitable fails. 5) failure to learn from the past. Many of the show's proposed changes sound great, but have demonstrably failed in practice in modern times. A better presentation would be to admit the concept has problems in the real world and cite specific proposed solutions that would make it worth attempting again. 6) wishful thinking. Some of the conclusions are straight out of fantasy land. They are like the nonsense politicians would like us believe is possible when they are running for office, but somehow never seem to be enacted once in office. The reason is the problems the promises would create would dwarf any benefit derived from the promise itself. These problems plagued a similar show, Penn & Teller Bullsh!t! The result was a show that simply could not trusted. Adam did indeed ruin everything, including his own show. Five stars for the concept, the genuine factual data, and logical interpretations of genuine facts. No stars for the specific failures mentioned above. Five stars.

The death part hits hard. For me, it’s not because I haven’t confronted the thought of death and non-existence, I have come to terms with it very quickly as there is no way to do anything about it and no reason to bother with it. It’s just so direct and upfront, really harsh, that makes it very off-putting. I can only imagine how scary it is for someone who hasn’t thought about these things existentially yet. It turning into comedy at the end definitely lightened the mood. We do normalize death and even laugh at tragedies as comedy, but all of what he said is true.

Politicians wont put up any sort of a safety net on the consumer because they too, claim a tax percentage of the cost, whether the real costing after insurance, or the fake marked up price that rips off the public sector, so in other words they misdirect where your money is going, which is essentially laundered into the government's pockets. Think of it like how gaming companies generally don't sell you items for a dollar price, you will have to buy some sort of token amount, generally for which there will be innefficient in the purchase packages to buy what you would need, not that that is relevant, but the point is the misdirection, you think your money is buying a token so that once you spend the token you forget how much each actual purchase in the game is actually worth. In this case you pay fake inflated rates for your health insurance which hospitals gouge inflated rates from to then pocket and split the difference with the government, and you'd think "well I'm not paying the inflated rates, my health insurance is". But you're paying those health insurance rates, and as you make claims, which can be for overly inflated amounts due to the hospital charging system, the rates will go up exponentially, so now you're paying even more rates with smaller gaps (direct payment to the medical centre) but generally its more expensive in the long run.
The thing is, politicians wield enormous power. So, even when problems "aren't their fault" in some ways, they're still at fault. The thing is, if it's your job to resolve social problems, then you have responsibility for that even if you didn't cause them. Of course, not all politicians have equal power, especially in political systems that enshrine great inequality within them.
The “charge master” is a real thing at hospitals. A friend of mine went to the ER without insurance and he kept asking how much certain things cost and nobody could give him an answer. Also, I’ve never not had medical insurance but was forced to file medical bankruptcy years ago due to a series of multiple hospitalizations and surgeries I had to have and all the things my insurance didn’t cover.
Imagine doctors, nurses, all the other employees, and the building itself now wanting to work for free. What do you do for a living? Should people expect your services for free?
@@reidsimonson please tell me who said medical people should work for free. It shouldn't be a bad thing to complain about prices that are so absurdly high with or without insurance that patients need to worry about going bankrupt. Why should going to a place that us responsible for saving you, curing you, or plane helping you potentially cost so much it can literally ruin you. The prices literally make people not want to go because if fear
@@xytech7432 Plus the money just goes to CEOs not the employees. You could charge normal prices for medical procedures and still pay employees the same if not more money.
Ya know, I was a meth addict for a while. In large part I do blame DARE, it may seem absurd but for me they lumped all of the illegal drugs together so when the army took me to Washington which was one of the first states to legalize MJ, and I was exposed to it post service, I realized that it was nothing that, in the state I was born in it was a felony, but here, in this liberal utopia it was allowed and there I realized it was nothing, just a fun high for people that like that type of high, so when I met a female that was addicted to Meth, I was much more open minded. Marijuana was a gateway drug for me, but not because I enjoyed it, but because it made me realize that everything I was taught about drugs as a child was wrong.
Dr. Warren "We're number 1 in most marriages, most enduring marriages, most..." Adam: "And the Better Business Bureau told you those claims are misleading and to stop saying them."
Same here. It's a lot more fun than my "I'm a lame ^ss working-class tax-paying square now." Less words and is as funny as I was *trying* to be with my old motto.
28:19 is true I used to work at a church and I was shocked at the amount of expired cans donated, I was like "just because they are homeless doesn't mean they can eat expired food".
I don’t understand how some people are so proud that they refuse to learn. It shows a major lack of both empathy and intelligence. Related to this ‘backfire effect’ is the concept that people who believe in stuff regardless of facts, bringing them facts won’t change their belief. Take religion for example. There are hundreds of ways to demonstrate how things in the Bible are disproven by science, and how the book was mistranslated, and how the book was ultimately written by humans. But religious people (Christians in this case) who take the Bible literally are unlikely to change their minds when presented with the evidence. They will look for a justification in their heads no matter how illogical. The cognitive dissonance is real especially in fundamentalism.
@@pokemonfanthings4444 Except this is different. A lot of "ruins" Adam does in this show is highly misconstrued, regardless of the "facts" present, in turn leading to others being misled. Take his herpes take. His argument basically was "well it's fine if you have herpes, because most already have it to begin with with no sign of symptoms." Okay whatever. But this *IN TURN* leads to younger teens to think it's okay to either practice intercourse at such a young age or that it's fine if they get herpes, except it's not. *Just because many have gotten it, doesn't mean that the actions behind it, or the identity of herpes itself should be taken likely,* however Adam plays it off as if you should. He does this a lot, and most that don't think past their nose will take everything without question, nor does the religious comparison of the concept you made really work here either.
@@bk7064 excellent point. I haven’t seen most of the episodes and the ones I did watch, I did so in high school. So I don’t recall all the details and didn’t have as much life experience back then. I think of the show as a net positive though, at least for the content I do remember
@@bk7064 Not to mention if you truly cared about children's well being you would be talking about better sex education and easier access to contraceptives not be demonizing sex as if it's not a natural part of life. But you don't. And I know why. Because you don't care about children. You just don't want sex to be normalised because that would ruin your society's "pure" image.
I love the show and adam is a cool guy, but people really need to stop putting adam in this skyhigh pedestal where hes a genius or something. I still cant believe people think adam actually knows everything, hes a comedian first, actor second, and host 3rd... It has been said time and time again, that everything they say has been researched by a group of people hired by the network... This is true way before trutv bought the rights to the show, the show is just that, a show about facts that people not realise or fact about common misconceptions, and the researchers are also human and they also make mistakes, thats why atleast every season they have an "emily ruins adam ruins everything" where they say that they made some mistakes and are owning up to it by admitted said mistakes.
even then the network (and adam) rarely admits that their premise is wrong. They look so much to ruin that they will forget or mislead people to make their argument
I know that they have the occasional "here is what we messed up last season" episode, but it's really a slap in the face that they never addressed that almost everything they said about Columbus was wrong.
This is especially true in the real world... Either you're miserable because of your job or you're miserable because you're unemployed... Or you're rich and probably still miserable.
Ya know, as someone who's had panic attacks while thinking about death (I have no clue if that's normal or not tbh) the very last clip was super scary to me in the beginning, but ig when he put it into perspective at the end, it just made sense? Idk, it kinda calmed me down and helped me accept it
I just wanna' shoutout all the actors in this series. They're actually very good and expressive while also being believable and not overly cheesy , like most sketches.
It's okay to die. It is the one truth of things in life on this planet that we can be assured of, but there is no need to fear it. The fear of the unknown is understandable, but, it doesn't make it not okay. It's okay to fear it, but I have gone through things in my personal life that have made me okay with it, as much as I do not welcome death. I don't welcome it, but I accept it. I see Death as a friend that comes to all, in the end. I am familiar with it, and I understand it, but I see no reason to fear the inevitable.
Hey, think of it this way. You finally get peace, life is just such a bumpy roller coaster of ups and downs. Everything alive will eventually end anyway, and even non-alive things will start to break apart into basic subatomic particles that are alone bouncing in an empty space.
Don't worry, Scientists say there maybe a possibility human could become biologically immortal. But were not sure just yet and probably not for a while. And there apparently isa pill or predication that can reverse aging, and lengthen life expectancy.
I wish Adam had touched on the fact that "selling out" has *always* been a part of the music industry. Before getting signed, the Beatles had onstage gimmicks involving eating chicken onstage and nailing condoms to the wall. That all changed when they were offered a lucrative career, as long as they cleaned up their act, first. They did what they had to, and music was forever changed because of it.
I love Mirv's mom. Dropping that shame bomb on people judging how people feed their babies. Don't be shamed for properly caring for your child. The only people who objectively know what's best for your child are you and the child's doctor/pediatrician. Not some random parent blog. Trust yourself, your doctor, and maybe your family, given they have kids.
It does make other people uncomfortable. There are ways to breast feed in public and not make other people uncomfortable. The problem are the women that have to advertise what they are doing to the world and shove it into other people's faces what she is doing. A mother can breast feed and cover what she is doing with a blanket so she can feed her child and not force everyone else around her to have to watch and to be uncomfortable. I am sure that someone would say "but its natual" but so are a guy's parts. If a woman can go around showing off her breast a guy should be allowed to walk around with no pants and go free hanging. We have social norms that everyone is expected to follow so other people don't have to feel uncomfortable. If a woman needs to feed her child then she can cover it up with a blanket. I am sure there have been times that I have been around a mother breast feeding her child and I never even noticed because she used a blanket and was discrete about what she was doing.
Here’s one: When the Flu season was bad this year, everybody was worried about COVID and not getting shots (I know people). When in reality the flu without a shot is more dangerous.
id love to have adam constantly teach me stuff like this, he makes learning fun, you guys should have an episode where adam finds someone who loves him teaching them stuff
Everything about this show is perfect. The way they show such melancholy when Adam goes off on something else and it being accurately sourced instead of based on mere speculation. We could have had this show 30 years ago and it would be exactly as effective as it is now
I don't agree with telling your coworkers how much you make....if you agree to minimum wage , that's your deal. Sharing how much you make can cause problems . I ask my employer to not discus my pay with my coworkers . it causes issues and they all want to know right away how much you make before anything else.
Yeah I accepted death and inevitability in part when I was suicidal and lost my religious beliefs. Those are pretty good at hammering in the idea of your own insignificance. Honestly I dont fear death. I fear pain and I am upset at the thought of not getting to do things I wanted to, but death itself is an inevitability that it’s pointless to pretend isn’t real. Accepting it really helps.
The main problem I see with the inevitability of death is that, practically speaking, you can't really make plans for when you die until you're a legal adult that owns valuable property and has someone to pass their benefits on to. I don't meet the above requirements, so when I die, there's basically nothing to do except bury my body. Of course, I could die literally any day now in a nigh infinite number of ways, and I don't really have any agency in the matter, hence, my annoyance and inconvenience. That being said, once I am dead, nothing will matter to me anyways, unless there is some sort of afterlife. I suppose that may be why the concept of an afterlife is so appealing: an afterlife gives you agency in a situation where you would normally have none, so that even if you died in a way over which you had no control, you still have control with what you do after death.
Patty from the formula episode is freaking boss. And I love Adam's line about primary sources! I'm constantly trying to discuss, DISCUSS, different opinions based on different information and why I discard certain opinions based on sources validity.
As I watched the video game ruin. I remember all the times, I watched the news and when the news reporter(mainly girl reporter) making fun of gamers. But yes, it is true that alot of gaming company mainly focuses on the boy side, but now they have been increasing gaming for both sides (boy and girl).
I got way too excited seeing Mo Gaffney pop up because she's a criminally under recognised Comedian and Actor. From her time with Ruby Wax to playing Bo in Ab Fab I always knew when she popped up on screen it was going to be a fun episode. ❤️👏👏👏
I was once at a party where weed was being used, not by me. (It doesn't 'do' anything for me.) It got a bit loud, the cops got called, they came over and said "keep it down." That's it.
Comes down to the price. Making a razor pink is easy, making a game console with games targeted to girls is expensive. Also in the early 20 century, they wanted to sell everything to everybody, today they think gendered marketing makes more money than general marketing.
Toxicity actually the blades and gel on female razors are different compared to male razors since men typically only shave their faces while women shave legs and arms as well, and different skin requires different things
TheNinthGeneration to be fair, most gendered products are practically the same and any differences are either insignificant or made on purpose to push their sales.
Quinn Key true, but some are also due to increased amounts of ingredients, more add ons, sometimes it could be a limited edition product that has a limited supply, it really depends on the product
@@TheNinthGeneration1 You know that a product is just limited because the company decided that they want it to be. Most products targeted at Men or Women are basically the same, just with a different perfume mixed in.
I first ran into this show on a Saturday morning and thought it was a kids show at first glance, then really listened to the subject matter and realized it was for everyone. I found the simplicity and cartoonishly goofy setups pandering at first then quickly understood that all of that was a smokescreen to deliver shockingly factually accurate information without the overly serious and bias approach of a TV news magazine.
I might argue the Changing Minds one at 16:50 should have been earlier in the compilation... but I have to hand it to them, that choice of finale was impeccable. I was not expecting it, and was not expecting how the segment would end. Magnificent.
I love that in the weed episode Adam doesn't know how to properly smoke, despite the fact he's probably smoked A LOT considering he was a punkish cool guy growing up in NY
Adam : Take a moment and try to picture what it’s like to not exist You can’t do it My suicidal ass : *smirking because I know that this time I’ll ruin Adam*

Worked in the healthcare industry. He's right. And we set price as high as possible to stay above contracted rate so it's never lower than the rate established by insurers. Scary thing. Nobody in the medical office actually knows what they are doing. They have no idea how to bill and what the price is. And when they call the insurance company, the insurance company doesn't know either. We used to have to call insurance company 4-5 times in a row, speak to 5 different agents and get 5 different answers. Nobody knew and nobody wanted to give a straight answer so they don't get in trouble. 1st call... do you cover this? Yes. 2nd call... do you cover this? No. 3rd call... do you cover this?.. Don't know.. 4th call... do you cover this? Yes. Then we just guess and provide the service whether covered or not. Often times if we need to know specifics, we don't get answer. "Do you cover treadmill test for pediatric patients?" Reply from agen "We cover psychiatric, generic meds, chiropratic, surgery, OBGYN, etc, etc". "I didn't ask you any of that. Stop reading from list of scripts. I asked you specifically if you cover a treadmill test for pediatric patient. We have a 7 year old with possible heart condition who needs to get a treadmill test. Do you cover that?" Response: Reading from script: We cover psychiatreic, generic meds, chiropracic, surgery, OBGYN, etc, etc." "Thank you, we learned nothing." No problem for us though. We just charge patients and make them sign a form they never read stating that they are responsible for all charges insurance doesn't cover. Wipe our hands clean like insurance does. You ever call Comcast to get a straight answer about your bill or a service and each time you talk to a new agent you got a different answer? That is what it is like being on the inside talking to insurance. Except instead of cable and talking to a clueless rep, it's your money and your health on the line. We don't pay. You do. Keep down voting Universal Healthcare.
Y’know The wedding one I was pretty interested in since my sister is getting married Ya my family looked at all that tradition stuff and went “Nah we’re gonna throw a Halloween party” My sister is getting married on Halloween She and her new husband are dressing up as cool vampires Her wedding dress is black obviously And it’s also a cheep Halloween costume that my grandma fixed up so it fits her perfectly and actually looks pretty good I’m dressing in a Persephone costume and my dress cost about $10 And the entire wedding decor is pretty much just cheep tarps hung up to look like a circus roof and chocolate eyes from the dollar store Along with some creepy clowns hung up everywhere that we’ve had since I was a toddler I never understood why people went so fancy for weddings Like screw dressing in a nice ball gown looking white dress that’s probably pretty itchy I wanna get married dressed up as an evil fairy and throw pumpkins at people like my sister is planning (We’re gonna carve pumpkins and the wedding surprise is that instead of doing that thing where the bride tosses flowers over her head she is going to switch the flowers for pumpkin guts and throw that over her head which is why I shall be sitting far far away from that event)

These fun, quirky weddings fascinate me. I feel like they're the fancy and over the top ones, but they seem fun. i also feel like social media is making them more popular? So many pinterest boards with quirky ideas. On one hand, sounds like a cool party. On the other hand, it also sounds like my idea of hell.

Sad to say this, but TruTV cancelled the show. Lucky for you, Adam has his own channel with two videos in the same vein.
They’re really good videos

He also created a Netflix show about government which did basically the same thing.

Adam: Politicians aren't the problem this time.
Adam: Goes on to explain why politicians are the problem.
I was just thinking that 😂
huh?
it the hospital... its said in the video bruh
Politicians wont put up any sort of a safety net on the consumer because they too, claim a tax percentage of the cost, whether the real costing after insurance, or the fake marked up price that rips off the public sector, so in other words they misdirect where your money is going, which is essentially laundered into the government's pockets. Think of it like how gaming companies generally don't sell you items for a dollar price, you will have to buy some sort of token amount, generally for which there will be innefficient in the purchase packages to buy what you would need, not that that is relevant, but the point is the misdirection, you think your money is buying a token so that once you spend the token you forget how much each actual purchase in the game is actually worth. In this case you pay fake inflated rates for your health insurance which hospitals gouge inflated rates from to then pocket and split the difference with the government, and you'd think "well I'm not paying the inflated rates, my health insurance is". But you're paying those health insurance rates, and as you make claims, which can be for overly inflated amounts due to the hospital charging system, the rates will go up exponentially, so now you're paying even more rates with smaller gaps (direct payment to the medical centre) but generally its more expensive in the long run.
The thing is, politicians wield enormous power. So, even when problems "aren't their fault" in some ways, they're still at fault. The thing is, if it's your job to resolve social problems, then you have responsibility for that even if you didn't cause them.
Of course, not all politicians have equal power, especially in political systems that enshrine great inequality within them.

The “charge master” is a real thing at hospitals.
A friend of mine went to the ER without insurance and he kept asking how much certain things cost and nobody could give him an answer.
Also, I’ve never not had medical insurance but was forced to file medical bankruptcy years ago due to a series of multiple hospitalizations and surgeries I had to have and all the things my insurance didn’t cover.
Hope you’re doing good

@@reidsimonson please tell me who said medical people should work for free.

Ya know, I was a meth addict for a while. In large part I do blame DARE, it may seem absurd but for me they lumped all of the illegal drugs together so when the army took me to Washington which was one of the first states to legalize MJ, and I was exposed to it post service, I realized that it was nothing that, in the state I was born in it was a felony, but here, in this liberal utopia it was allowed and there I realized it was nothing, just a fun high for people that like that type of high, so when I met a female that was addicted to Meth, I was much more open minded. Marijuana was a gateway drug for me, but not because I enjoyed it, but because it made me realize that everything I was taught about drugs as a child was wrong.

I'm sure that many people who watch this will experience the "The backfire effect" type of cognitive dissonance. Very informative and entertaining.
It already did.
I don’t understand how some people are so proud that they refuse to learn. It shows a major lack of both empathy and intelligence.
Related to this ‘backfire effect’ is the concept that people who believe in stuff regardless of facts, bringing them facts won’t change their belief.
Take religion for example. There are hundreds of ways to demonstrate how things in the Bible are disproven by science, and how the book was mistranslated, and how the book was ultimately written by humans. But religious people (Christians in this case) who take the Bible literally are unlikely to change their minds when presented with the evidence. They will look for a justification in their heads no matter how illogical. The cognitive dissonance is real especially in fundamentalism.
@@pokemonfanthings4444 Except this is different. A lot of "ruins" Adam does in this show is highly misconstrued, regardless of the "facts" present, in turn leading to others being misled. Take his herpes take. His argument basically was "well it's fine if you have herpes, because most already have it to begin with with no sign of symptoms." Okay whatever. But this *IN TURN* leads to younger teens to think it's okay to either practice intercourse at such a young age or that it's fine if they get herpes, except it's not. *Just because many have gotten it, doesn't mean that the actions behind it, or the identity of herpes itself should be taken likely,* however Adam plays it off as if you should. He does this a lot, and most that don't think past their nose will take everything without question, nor does the religious comparison of the concept you made really work here either.
@@bk7064 excellent point. I haven’t seen most of the episodes and the ones I did watch, I did so in high school. So I don’t recall all the details and didn’t have as much life experience back then. I think of the show as a net positive though, at least for the content I do remember

I love the show and adam is a cool guy, but people really need to stop putting adam in this skyhigh pedestal where hes a genius or something.
I still cant believe people think adam actually knows everything, hes a comedian first, actor second, and host 3rd...
It has been said time and time again, that everything they say has been researched by a group of people hired by the network... This is true way before trutv bought the rights to the show, the show is just that, a show about facts that people not realise or fact about common misconceptions, and the researchers are also human and they also make mistakes, thats why atleast every season they have an "emily ruins adam ruins everything" where they say that they made some mistakes and are owning up to it by admitted said mistakes.
Yeah, nobody is all knowing, and the team knows that. Yet they still try their hardest to be as accurate as possible, which is the best they can do.
Yeah Adam even admits that he has a team of researchers on the show
even then the network (and adam) rarely admits that their premise is wrong. They look so much to ruin that they will forget or mislead people to make their argument
"Xyzen ruins everything." UA-cam is full of sky-high pedestals that people hop between...hop, hop.

Freaking Adam actually had had me in tears at the realization that everything and everyone I know will die
It's okay to die. It is the one truth of things in life on this planet that we can be assured of, but there is no need to fear it.
The fear of the unknown is understandable, but, it doesn't make it not okay. It's okay to fear it, but I have gone through things in my personal life that have made me okay with it, as much as I do not welcome death.
I don't welcome it, but I accept it.
I see Death as a friend that comes to all, in the end. I am familiar with it, and I understand it, but I see no reason to fear the inevitable.
Hey, think of it this way. You finally get peace, life is just such a bumpy roller coaster of ups and downs. Everything alive will eventually end anyway, and even non-alive things will start to break apart into basic subatomic particles that are alone bouncing in an empty space.

Don't be shamed for properly caring for your child. The only people who objectively know what's best for your child are you and the child's doctor/pediatrician. Not some random parent blog.
Trust yourself, your doctor, and maybe your family, given they have kids.
It does make other people uncomfortable.
There are ways to breast feed in public and not make other people uncomfortable. The problem are the women that have to advertise what they are doing to the world and shove it into other people's faces what she is doing. A mother can breast feed and cover what she is doing with a blanket so she can feed her child and not force everyone else around her to have to watch and to be uncomfortable.
I am sure that someone would say "but its natual" but so are a guy's parts. If a woman can go around showing off her breast a guy should be allowed to walk around with no pants and go free hanging. We have social norms that everyone is expected to follow so other people don't have to feel uncomfortable. If a woman needs to feed her child then she can cover it up with a blanket.
I am sure there have been times that I have been around a mother breast feeding her child and I never even noticed because she used a blanket and was discrete about what she was doing.
I also like to add the child’s therapist if one is involved

*Wasn't planning on having a crisis today but thanks :D*
Yeah I accepted death and inevitability in part when I was suicidal and lost my religious beliefs. Those are pretty good at hammering in the idea of your own insignificance.
Honestly I dont fear death. I fear pain and I am upset at the thought of not getting to do things I wanted to, but death itself is an inevitability that it’s pointless to pretend isn’t real. Accepting it really helps.
The main problem I see with the inevitability of death is that, practically speaking, you can't really make plans for when you die until you're a legal adult that owns valuable property and has someone to pass their benefits on to.
I don't meet the above requirements, so when I die, there's basically nothing to do except bury my body. Of course, I could die literally any day now in a nigh infinite number of ways, and I don't really have any agency in the matter, hence, my annoyance and inconvenience. That being said, once I am dead, nothing will matter to me anyways, unless there is some sort of afterlife. I suppose that may be why the concept of an afterlife is so appealing: an afterlife gives you agency in a situation where you would normally have none, so that even if you died in a way over which you had no control, you still have control with what you do after death.
Patty from the formula episode is freaking boss. And I love Adam's line about primary sources!

So, women get advertised too for shaving, even though they don’t need too. But don’t for video games?
Comes down to the price. Making a razor pink is easy, making a game console with games targeted to girls is expensive. Also in the early 20 century, they wanted to sell everything to everybody, today they think gendered marketing makes more money than general marketing.
Toxicity actually the blades and gel on female razors are different compared to male razors since men typically only shave their faces while women shave legs and arms as well, and different skin requires different things
TheNinthGeneration to be fair, most gendered products are practically the same and any differences are either insignificant or made on purpose to push their sales.
Quinn Key true, but some are also due to increased amounts of ingredients, more add ons, sometimes it could be a limited edition product that has a limited supply, it really depends on the product
@@TheNinthGeneration1 You know that a product is just limited because the company decided that they want it to be.

Watching this now, I have a different perspective than I did a few years ago.
Worked in the healthcare industry. He's right. And we set price as high as possible to stay above contracted rate so it's never lower than the rate established by insurers. Scary thing. Nobody in the medical office actually knows what they are doing. They have no idea how to bill and what the price is. And when they call the insurance company, the insurance company doesn't know either. We used to have to call insurance company 4-5 times in a row, speak to 5 different agents and get 5 different answers. Nobody knew and nobody wanted to give a straight answer so they don't get in trouble. 1st call... do you cover this? Yes. 2nd call... do you cover this? No. 3rd call... do you cover this?.. Don't know.. 4th call... do you cover this? Yes. Then we just guess and provide the service whether covered or not. Often times if we need to know specifics, we don't get answer. "Do you cover treadmill test for pediatric patients?" Reply from agen "We cover psychiatric, generic meds, chiropratic, surgery, OBGYN, etc, etc". "I didn't ask you any of that. Stop reading from list of scripts. I asked you specifically if you cover a treadmill test for pediatric patient. We have a 7 year old with possible heart condition who needs to get a treadmill test. Do you cover that?" Response: Reading from script: We cover psychiatreic, generic meds, chiropracic, surgery, OBGYN, etc, etc." "Thank you, we learned nothing." No problem for us though. We just charge patients and make them sign a form they never read stating that they are responsible for all charges insurance doesn't cover. Wipe our hands clean like insurance does. You ever call Comcast to get a straight answer about your bill or a service and each time you talk to a new agent you got a different answer? That is what it is like being on the inside talking to insurance. Except instead of cable and talking to a clueless rep, it's your money and your health on the line. We don't pay. You do. Keep down voting Universal Healthcare.

The wedding one I was pretty interested in since my sister is getting married
Ya my family looked at all that tradition stuff and went
“Nah we’re gonna throw a Halloween party”
My sister is getting married on Halloween
She and her new husband are dressing up as cool vampires
Her wedding dress is black obviously
And it’s also a cheep Halloween costume that my grandma fixed up so it fits her perfectly and actually looks pretty good
I’m dressing in a Persephone costume and my dress cost about $10
And the entire wedding decor is pretty much just cheep tarps hung up to look like a circus roof and chocolate eyes from the dollar store
Along with some creepy clowns hung up everywhere that we’ve had since I was a toddler
I never understood why people went so fancy for weddings
Like screw dressing in a nice ball gown looking white dress that’s probably pretty itchy
I wanna get married dressed up as an evil fairy and throw pumpkins at people like my sister is planning
(We’re gonna carve pumpkins and the wedding surprise is that instead of doing that thing where the bride tosses flowers over her head she is going to switch the flowers for pumpkin guts and throw that over her head which is why I shall be sitting far far away from that event)

I told this to my teacher she yelled at me and sent me to the principles office
Told her what? I'm guessing the weed thing
I'm guessing the death thing
I'm guessing the entire video
Im getting some bill nye vibes from adam
I love how nothing is ‘safe’ with Adam. This knowledge should be taught in schools.
*Am I a boy dot, or a girl dot??*
Best line.
I find it interesting that the Boy vs Girl games thing was caused not by video games but by the toy aisles division
I like this show, its educational, entertaining and eye-opening!
Funny enough I’ve used that razer and it’s honestly the most satisfying non-barber shave I’ve ever used on a daily basis
What razor?

Roberta Williams is my lord and savior! Kings Quest games defined my childhood, i was 5yrs old when I first played KQ4, then went and the rest, secretly played KQ5+6 thru high school and never told ANYONE cuz back then, being a nerd was bad, and I had a rep to keep up. But i think thats why when my kid was born 13yrs ago and I started playing games, i fell in LOVE with elder scrolls games, i think it secretly spoke to the inner child I buried forever ago.. Roberta Williams lol, I said her outloud before you did, so happy you brought her up
Homie's name is actually "King Champ Gillette"? I guess with a name like that you're just destined for greatness
😆👍
