    “It is far more valuable to be intentionally kind with an equal capacity for putting your foot down, than it is to be unintentionally passive and peaceful”
    Links below, but first:
    if you comment complaining about the mixing i will doxx you. it genuinely sounds fine to me, and i’ve also never watched a video where i didn’t have to turn it down at certain places and turn it back up a minute later so goodluck watching all videos forever i guess. Also. i’m not a fucking youtuber, i literally screen record these and press post, why these videos get so many views idk. But don’t comment complaining about the quality like i have any sort of way to fix that lmfao, if you wanna drop some editing apps then fine, but if you complain i’m coming to ur house and robbing you. okay bye.
    Please don’t comment “why didn’t you include x clip” it’s a pet peeve and drives me nuts lol, if i didn’t include a clip you think i should’ve it’s either bc i forgot or bc it just didn’t apply to the prompt of the vid!
    also please don’t comment asking for links! i will provide links where i can but other than that i will put where you can find them. ok bye!
    For context, i wanted to include only clips where BRENNAN is being confrontational or saying “this person sucks fuck them” But also included clips of him voicing his opinions on people who he thinks sucks thru character. So i didn’t include a bunch of characters from d20 bc they aren’t always examples of his organic (healthy ofc) aggression.
    okay that’s it :3 ty for vibing
    Video 1, 5, and 7 are from adventuring party season misfits and magic episode wet fire on drop out
    video 2 • Like The Show | 'Would...
    video 3 • Warren - UCB NY Cagema...
    video 4 is from the Ceo bonus footage on drop out for the hardware store ceo
    video 6 is from drop out’s psychic game show
    last video is from the podcast 99 questions or 99Q on spotify, just search brennan lee mulligan 99q and you’ll find it, it’s 4 hours but it’s honestly a delight.

    That first story about the guy "taking the piss", as a person from a British colony where we do routinely take the piss I can tell you that guy was just bad at it. Like at the very least you're meant to be somewhat witty about it, incorporate knowledge of the person and show that you're familiar enough to take the piss in the first place. Just indiscriminately calling someone's girlfriend ugly isn't it. Then he makes it everyone else's problem with the standard gaslighting, "You're too sensitive," line.

And I just say "no, you didn't, but you're clearly testing the limits of them and trying to see if you can get me to react in the 'wrong' way, according to the rules. You're doing this, despite knowing better, but here's a little secret: unlike you, I am allowed to break the rules. And if you are KNOWINGLY rude, spiteful, and annoying, I will be much, much worse in response, because you have the follow the rules when being annoying; I don't."

      AITA for getting mad after a kid beat me up?
      So, like the title says, I was at a summer camp and I was just having a laugh with another kid at camp. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed so I would poke fun at him from time to time but it was just harmless fun. One day, though, as I’m talking to this kid he, completely unprovoked, starts punching me hard. I got up and immediately some counselors came over and I explained to them what happened. For context, at this camp violence is incredibly frowned upon and you should get sent home for being violent. This kid, however, didn’t get sent home and this is where I’m wondering if I’m the asshole. I got mad and complained to the counselors that it was against the rules for that kid to not be sent home, but they just told me that that’s how institutions work and some other bs. So reddit, am I the asshole?
      Let’s note a couple things here, the above post doesn’t mention anything about how the kid responded *before* getting violent, and the poster downplays their own actions heavily. I also use the phrase harmless fun to put in the reader’s mind how the violence is totally an overreaction. I also add in a subtle concession by saying, “this is where I’m wondering if I’m the asshole” to make it look like I’m genuinely considering whether I’m in the wrong when I’m clearly not depicting that way, putting an idea of “fairness” in my reader’s mind. These are common tricks people use to skew stories in their favor by bending the truth. There’s always two sides to a story and contrasting this with brennan’s description of the situation can lend itself heavily to understanding how the story *actually* played out.

      It’s a really difficult situation for the camp staff. We had an issue at my two week day camp last summer, and it’s more complicated than you might think. You have to talk to the parents, try different things to see if you can get them to stop, and talk to the administrators/people with more authority in the camp about what they’ve done in the past to handle things. The rules might not be made for that specific situation, so they might not have broken them by being mean to the other kids.
      The counselors often don’t have the ability to say when someone has crossed the line and won’t be allowed back so it requires a constant game of telephone with the people that do. It took almost a week of parent complaints, and one girl refusing to be in the same room as him, before this kid was taken out of our camp and honestly it could’ve been longer. Easily.

    the thing to me about the first story is that the british guy framed the joking insult as taking the piss out of someone, but he didn't do it to the person he was *talking* to. he did it to someone *that person cares about*. and i feel like most people are not going to take very kindly to that. like i'm not the kind of person who would enjoy someone trying to bond by being mean, but my threshold for "things i won't make a big deal out of" vs "things you'll get your ass beat over, verbally and/or physically" is very different for when people are talking about me as compared to when they're talking about people i care about.

    God that last story... like technically that's robbery but if I was on the jury it wouldn't be. Honestly it's such a wholesome story though. The part that really gets me about it is that Brennan got implicit permission to fight, and as soon as he did he was off to the races. To me that's genuinely a sign of someone who is really respectful of others. He was defending his friend and only escalated to violence when it was invoked by the other party. Then the rest of his reasoning follows: hit the guy because you assume he's a threat; stop hitting him when it becomes obvious he's not; get the money because your friend needs it; REASON with the guy about why fighting is a bad idea which is a very kind thing to do in the Evan Kelmp sense of it; only stop chasing the guy when it's obvious it's not worth it. Calling out "COWARD" in a knightly manner after all that may be some nerd shit but it is also extremely powerful. The really devastating part of that story is how he showed the guy that he didn't actually have any real friends. That's the kind of humiliation that gives someone like that an opportunity to change. I enjoyed that story immensely.

      That's something you only learn later in life - there's only so much adults can do when a kid is constantly being a bully to others, especially when that kid is *technically* not breaking any rules. And they can't openly rejoice when some other kid finally snaps and the bully gets their comeuppance, but moments like that are crucial in a childs development - when they realize that their actions have consequences, and you're not invulnerable within the rules if you're just outright being an asshole.

      I work with kids. It's a fine line, because we obviously don't ever want kids hurting one another. But sometimes kids need to learn that bullying their peers has consequences. There have been plenty of times when a kid gets punched and my internal reaction is "yes, of course that happened, you were being terrible and so somebody stood up to you." The hard part is to talk it through with them and get them to the point where they realize that on their own.

    The whole “if this guy pops up, it’s gonna end bad” is a mindset I very much carry everywhere I go. I watch people on tv and movies punch someone in defense and only do it once, letting the person who’s obviously aggressive and more experienced in fighting get up, and then they get their ass whooped cause they’ve missed the chance to actually make sure the guy stays down and has no chance of attacking again. If it comes to it, I’m flailing until the person is unconscious or dead, cause I ain’t dealing with them coming back at me. I’d only go as far as dead if they had actually attempted to physically assault me, obviously, but you get the point.

      Yeah this is an actual thing as well. I've been doing karate for 3 years and most of the self defense we do seem like such overkill to a single attack being thrown at you, but the fact is most of us who take these classes, arent violent people who love fighting and constantly getting into fights. You hit that person until you are reasonably certain that person will not be getting back up and attacking you before you can run, causes chances are they are much more expierience in fighting than you are, no matter what belt rank you are, and if they get the jump on you, its gonna be really hard to get the lead back. Groin diaphragm and nose are good places to aim for as they cause the most pain/disorientation and will give you the most time to run.

    I thought Brennan was just about to mug this guy for a sec until he said “you are gonna pay for my friends glasses”

    Even most punks hate crustpunks. They are annoying more than anything but the whole "I love to fight" crap is so recognisable.

    Brennan is the only American who gets to pull that
    "my irish ancestry compelled me" crap.
    Because he is a precious almond of a human being, and although his first reaction was violence.
    his second was over the top melodrama.
    A true son of ireland right there.

      His first reaction wasn't violence though, he was kind, twice. The dude made it clear there was going to be a fight/problem, Brennan isn't a fighter so he knew if he didn't throw the first punch he probably wasn't going to get up. Add on the fact the dude likely would mug you, stab you, or shoot you, and he beat him while he was down to ensure his safety.
      He didn't immediately react with violence, but as soon as he realized talking wasn't going to work his body kicked into action and started punchin
