The biggest eye opener to me on the whole "1960's not being that long ago" was when someone pointed out to me that the kinds of people you see in pictures yelling at African American kids during school integration efforts are 1) now in their 70s-80s, 2) still voting, and 3) *are in Congress right now.*
Growing up in the 1960's? Dad cut the seat-belts out of our new Family Car..."better to be thrown free of the wreck!" When Lead was being removed from gasoline, he stocked up on lead additives. He poured used motor oil in the garden to 'keep the gophers away'. He was a one-man ecological disaster.

15:19 Color film did exist but it was a lot more expensive and a lot more complicated than black and white so the vast majority of photos taken by regular citizens were in black and white. It was just easier to deal with and it did the job sufficiently enough to make going to color not worth the extra cost. Fun fact, you can't use the red light for developing color film, the room has to be completely dark. The red light can only be used for black and white film.
In terms of movies there was also color available too, but due to costs it was also not viable for a bit. To my knowledge though it was viable for a time but black and white continued to be used because most movies of that era thrived on the black and white story telling/enviroment. And were even testing the boundaries of how to fully utilize black and white. Eventually we shifted into color of course but I forgot the exact reason why, aside from just color being neat.

Technically several things were invented in America, most thing however that were created in america were a twist on an already existing thing. Little bit of trivia about the Mcdonalds Ice Cream machine: The reason it's always broken is because of the manufacturer essentially, they install software that basically makes it so employees can't fix the machine themselves, in addition repairs can take several hours and may not actually fix the problem, and besides that the only person who can actually fix the machine legally is a mechanic licensed by the manufacturer, which can take days to arrive if they choose to go at all. There are websites essentially trying to pirate the software so that employees can just fix the machines instead of waiting for a mechanic who would show up whenever.
Also one of the most common reasons for ice cream machine failure is because the heat cycle failed overnight. Failure can literally be caused by it being off by a single degree. And it can often just be fixed by reducing the amount of ice cream in the vat. But they don't tell people this because they want stores to keep calling in repair techs and raking in that dough.
That, the comment above, plus the fact that currently not many people are trained properly how to do the weekly clean on it (which involves emptying the shake mix tanks, taking all the small parts to wash em, then putting it all back together), and even those who were tend to make a slip up or two, which almost always leads to something fucking up
Worked on a fast food restaurant that had one of those machines, same vendor even, the difference tho is that it was old enough to be completely analog. Just wires an sensors. Never failed even once. It's planned obsolescence to the extreme. The manufacturer can easily program when the machine to fail only to charge you extra.

One time he read a tweet that said “Some guy saw me in scrubs and said ‘Thank you for your service’ cause he thought I was an essential worker, sir I laser buttholes for a living 😂” And his response was “Um, AkShuAlLy YoU aRe An EsSeNtIaL wOrKeR☝️🤓” literally mansplaining someone else’s funny tweet to them, and this guy’s an activist?

7:34 - For reference, a month later, he tweeted a video condemning the selling of Pride merchandise as "evil" and "demonic." He was dropped by his team shortly after (for "performance") and has yet to find another. In essence, he ran himself out of baseball with his hate and entitlement.
I mean, sort of. He was a middling relief pitcher toward the end of his career anyway. It’s similar to why Colin Kaepernick never got picked back up. The level of play wasn’t worth the drama. If Anthony Bass was a front line starter, he’d have a job.
The reason why vampires are always wealthy in media (movies, books, or whatever) is because vampire mythology was kinda created around people of high society. So it's just part of the package for telling a story with vampires, since we've always viewed them as being aristocratic.
Pretty sure it was Dracula that started this trope. There were vampire commoners before that, but Dracula was so popular that almost any vampire since then was in some way derived from Dracula
Everything said about vampires above me is valid, but more importantly than that, if you're alive for over 100 years, and can still walk without your knees popping, but you weren't smart enough to get your money up: you're a sorry ass without an ounce of financial sense. 🤷♀️

You don't need religion to know that there is difference between right and wrong . Another thing it doesn't matter if you're religious or not you can see the good or evil in people and make your choice accordingly . I know most folks are decent , religious or not , but you do get some truly evil mofos out there . Stay aware and stay safe everyone .
“If you don’t have religion why don’t you kill people” 🤝 “If you don’t have empathy why don’t you kill people” = stupid ass statements that make me think the person saying it would like to kill people
Exactly. I'm not religious at all, never really cared for religion, but I still know that it's better to donate to the homeless rather than stab someone in the eye, for example. We're atheists, not stupid.

I was going to say, why couldn't he pick up the popcorn? If he was so concerned about his wife having to pick up garbage he could so easily have done it himself.
I hear the ice cream machine is always broken due to a requirement for them to be cleaned daily. As a result, they just don’t do it and claim it’s broken as they can’t serve ice cereal from a machine that doesn’t meet this requirement. So the McD’s ice cream machine is one long instance of malicious compliance lol.
I just assumed that was why. I worked for a soft serve shop as a kid, and it is time consuming. Took me an hour nightly to empty, clean and prep for the next day.
A friend of mine managed a Harvey's. She said the machine was often broken for real because people would rush putting it back together after cleaning at the end of shift and as a result, the dispensing mechanism would jam when they tried to use it the next day. Seems plausible.
It depends. Worked with those machines, both old and new. Old ones required them to be emptied and cleaned every night, while new ones only required that to be done once a week. Also, since they're almost completely stainless steel from the inside and it's quite easy to get them squeaky clean. 10 minutes max if you're used to do it.
It’s more about right to repair laws. Taylor, the company that makes the machines, requires their technicians to come in any them any basic thing happens with the machine.
Personally, I'm *far* more scared by cultists who look at an objectively immoral and evil book, for life instructions. As, when normal people are faced with something like... I dunno: "*Should* I dip this baby in the grease fryer?", we use common sense and empathy and deduce: No... that wouldn't be nice, nor beneficial in any way. The cultist on the other hand, takes up their little book, haphazardly scroll through it while going "Does it say I'm NOT allowed to do this?"

No, this is just a common myth and it goes against why alcohol can potentially violate consent. Drunks have a higher propensity to say what's initially on their mind such as intrusive thoughts or poorly thought out ideas. A lot of what they say can be blatantly untrue such as saying they're the president, or saying they can do an epic stunt only to fuck it up. This is also why you can't really have someone consent under the influence alcohol since again it's not truth serum, it's literally just them making decisions or saying things that are poorly thought out which impairs their judgement and ability to consent to sex. Most people have ideas that when they think about it, they realize that their idea is dumb, immoral, or is flawed in some other way. Alcohol is not truth serum because if it truly was, then legal consent issues for those under the influence of alcohol wouldn't even exists.

Note on caffeine: Caffeine is not a addictive drug, it causes physical dependence due to your body getting used to it being in the system. This means you don't get any kind of cravings, but if you suddenly stop drinking it your body will go out of whack. This can be quite uncomfortable. Best way to stop drinking caffeine is therefor to taper off, cold turkey is not a good idea. P.S. I'm not a smartass, I just drink too much coffee and know the pain of this too well.
I mean, that was exactly my experience with alcohol, and I destroyed my liver and almost died of multiorgan failure in my mid 20's. I got no benefit from it since I could no longer get intoxicated (I would go from sober to unconscious), but drinking it constantly kept me from having DTs. There were no cravings, physical or psychological. I was able to go cold turkey before a liver transplant under hospital supervision in the ICU for about a year and never relapsed or had the desire to. And I would call alcohol an addictive substance.
@@aralornwolf3140 A physical dependence does not cause any craving for the substance, it causes a negative effect when you are not taking it. I don't crave caffeine. My body is in a homeostasis where caffeine is a part of it. So removing caffeine will cause a withdrawal effect. It is a hard distinction, but it is worth reading up on.

"Tag a former president that you know doesn't." So he's basically asking for a list of which former presidents are still alive?

@@gerardwayseyelash general knowledge, world history I . egypt, inventor, or, at least co - inventor of beer beside mesopotamia. THAT is stuff from middle school, RIGHT after the stone age, because of Göbekli tepe, the big tempel in turkey (they killed some hard rounds of craft beer there ;)) and even IF you didnt have that background, the founding fathers of the us are fleeing england because the puritans cant stand people having fun with beer. so, here you have it.
@@gerardwayseyelash göbekli tepe is the first clear religious building 11000 years old. before everything else, there was göbekli tepe. older than the pyramids older than stone henge. they found fermented barley or, rather, proto - barley, in specific areas used to brew beer. but thats not the point, if you are from the us, i dont know that, you should know about the puritans, the party poopers of their time. no christmas, no dancing, no beer, nothing. king georg didnt like that, so they went from england to the dutch (or direct to the "new world") and even the calvinistic, humorless dutch cant stand them and so off they went to america to burn witches, dont dance and hating alcoholic beverages. THATS why they had a grunch about german soldiers fighting within the war of independence, they ALSO expand the varieties of beers you could drink in the us to clear brews like pilsener. and than in the 1920 you let those puritan nutjobs run wild and had your prohibition. Thats why the us LOST all this knowledge about brewing beer in about a decade. what is now happening in the us is only the revival of THAT culture BEFORE the prohibition. i think thats cool. sorry for this long text ;)
5:10 - that along with people who are adamant that currsive is no longer taught. I mean, 1. have you asked anyone? 2. Why does it matter? The average person only uses it for signatures.
18:46 i personally think the voting requirements should be a test about politics to see if the person taking the test knows enough about voting to make a valid decision. therefore, kids (such as 10-17 year olds) who are eager activists will be able to make a bigger impact.
I think it should be the other way around. It's on the politicians to prove themselves capable of being honest, hardworking, thoughtful people... instead of it being a popularity contest easily swayed with $$$.
Yeah, as much as this sounds good, this is basically what Jim Crow laws did for a century to make sure black people couldn't vote because they weren't educated. So maybe not the best idea. Testing politicians is a bit less of a bad idea, but it also runs up against the same problem.

7:34 - For reference, a month later, he tweeted a video condemning the selling of Pride merchandise as "evil" and "demonic." He was dropped by his team shortly after (for "performance") and has yet to find another. In essence, he ran himself out of baseball with his hate and entitlement.
I mean, sort of. He was a middling relief pitcher toward the end of his career anyway. It’s similar to why Colin Kaepernick never got picked back up. The level of play wasn’t worth the drama. If Anthony Bass was a front line starter, he’d have a job.
The reason why vampires are always wealthy in media (movies, books, or whatever) is because vampire mythology was kinda created around people of high society. So it's just part of the package for telling a story with vampires, since we've always viewed them as being aristocratic.
That's not just a western thing either, the Jiangshi or Chinese hopping vampires are typically dressed in the garb of Qing dynasty officials.
Pretty sure it was Dracula that started this trope. There were vampire commoners before that, but Dracula was so popular that almost any vampire since then was in some way derived from Dracula
Everything said about vampires above me is valid, but more importantly than that, if you're alive for over 100 years, and can still walk without your knees popping, but you weren't smart enough to get your money up: you're a sorry ass without an ounce of financial sense. 🤷♀️

You don't need religion to know that there is difference between right and wrong . Another thing it doesn't matter if you're religious or not you can see the good or evil in people and make your choice accordingly . I know most folks are decent , religious or not , but you do get some truly evil mofos out there . Stay aware and stay safe everyone .
“If you don’t have religion why don’t you kill people” 🤝 “If you don’t have empathy why don’t you kill people” = stupid ass statements that make me think the person saying it would like to kill people
I would even argue most organised religion fanatics condone bad and even evil decisions based on their misguided no questions asked faith.
Exactly. I'm not religious at all, never really cared for religion, but I still know that it's better to donate to the homeless rather than stab someone in the eye, for example. We're atheists, not stupid.

@@BaronVonQuiply Okay, that is funny.
I hear the ice cream machine is always broken due to a requirement for them to be cleaned daily. As a result, they just don’t do it and claim it’s broken as they can’t serve ice cereal from a machine that doesn’t meet this requirement.
So the McD’s ice cream machine is one long instance of malicious compliance lol.
I just assumed that was why. I worked for a soft serve shop as a kid, and it is time consuming. Took me an hour nightly to empty, clean and prep for the next day.
A friend of mine managed a Harvey's. She said the machine was often broken for real because people would rush putting it back together after cleaning at the end of shift and as a result, the dispensing mechanism would jam when they tried to use it the next day. Seems plausible.
It depends. Worked with those machines, both old and new.
Old ones required them to be emptied and cleaned every night, while new ones only required that to be done once a week.
Also, since they're almost completely stainless steel from the inside and it's quite easy to get them squeaky clean. 10 minutes max if you're used to do it.
It’s more about right to repair laws. Taylor, the company that makes the machines, requires their technicians to come in any them any basic thing happens with the machine.
EMKAY LIVESSSSS!!! (seriously hope everyone at emkay is doing well )
Personally, I'm *far* more scared by cultists who look at an objectively immoral and evil book, for life instructions.
As, when normal people are faced with something like... I dunno: "*Should* I dip this baby in the grease fryer?", we use common sense and empathy and deduce: No... that wouldn't be nice, nor beneficial in any way.
The cultist on the other hand, takes up their little book, haphazardly scroll through it while going "Does it say I'm NOT allowed to do this?"

9:10 I love how Gordon Ramsey has embraced the meme he's become. Tbh, he's probably been doing this for longer than I realized and I only caught on recently.
Gordan Ramsey started in the UK... his shows in the US... the producers wanted entertainment so encouraged the yelling, screaming, cussing, and the insults.
hey don't blame all Americans, we just happen to live in a country with a government that values sheep more than an individual.

4:31 the most truth you’ll get out of someone is if they are drunk, sober people can lie but drunk people have a hard time keeping it together
No, this is just a common myth and it goes against why alcohol can potentially violate consent. Drunks have a higher propensity to say what's initially on their mind such as intrusive thoughts or poorly thought out ideas. A lot of what they say can be blatantly untrue such as saying they're the president, or saying they can do an epic stunt only to fuck it up. This is also why you can't really have someone consent under the influence alcohol since again it's not truth serum, it's literally just them making decisions or saying things that are poorly thought out which impairs their judgement and ability to consent to sex. Most people have ideas that when they think about it, they realize that their idea is dumb, immoral, or is flawed in some other way. Alcohol is not truth serum because if it truly was, then legal consent issues for those under the influence of alcohol wouldn't even exists.

Note on caffeine: Caffeine is not a addictive drug, it causes physical dependence due to your body getting used to it being in the system. This means you don't get any kind of cravings, but if you suddenly stop drinking it your body will go out of whack. This can be quite uncomfortable.
Best way to stop drinking caffeine is therefor to taper off, cold turkey is not a good idea.
P.S. I'm not a smartass, I just drink too much coffee and know the pain of this too well.
I mean, that was exactly my experience with alcohol, and I destroyed my liver and almost died of multiorgan failure in my mid 20's.
I got no benefit from it since I could no longer get intoxicated (I would go from sober to unconscious), but drinking it constantly kept me from having DTs. There were no cravings, physical or psychological. I was able to go cold turkey before a liver transplant under hospital supervision in the ICU for about a year and never relapsed or had the desire to.
And I would call alcohol an addictive substance.
Physical dependence = addiction.
@@aralornwolf3140 A physical dependence does not cause any craving for the substance, it causes a negative effect when you are not taking it.
I don't crave caffeine. My body is in a homeostasis where caffeine is a part of it. So removing caffeine will cause a withdrawal effect.
It is a hard distinction, but it is worth reading up on.

@@gerardwayseyelash general knowledge,
world history I . egypt, inventor, or, at least co - inventor of beer beside mesopotamia.
THAT is stuff from middle school, RIGHT after the stone age, because of Göbekli tepe, the big tempel in turkey (they killed some hard rounds of craft beer there ;))
and even IF you didnt have that background, the founding fathers of the us are fleeing england because the puritans cant stand people having fun with beer.
so, here you have it.
@@Asmodis4 Never heard of any of that besides Mesopotamia.
@@gerardwayseyelash göbekli tepe is the first clear religious building 11000 years old. before everything else, there was göbekli tepe. older than the pyramids older than stone henge.
they found fermented barley or, rather, proto - barley, in specific areas used to brew beer.
but thats not the point, if you are from the us, i dont know that, you should know about the puritans, the party poopers of their time.
no christmas, no dancing, no beer, nothing.
king georg didnt like that, so they went from england to the dutch (or direct to the "new world") and even the calvinistic, humorless dutch cant stand them and so off they went to america to burn witches, dont dance and hating alcoholic beverages.
THATS why they had a grunch about german soldiers fighting within the war of independence, they ALSO expand the varieties of beers you could drink in the us to clear brews like pilsener.
and than in the 1920 you let those puritan nutjobs run wild and had your prohibition.
Thats why the us LOST all this knowledge about brewing beer in about a decade.
what is now happening in the us is only the revival of THAT culture BEFORE the prohibition.

I think it should be the other way around. It's on the politicians to prove themselves capable of being honest, hardworking, thoughtful people... instead of it being a popularity contest easily swayed with $$$.
Yeah, as much as this sounds good, this is basically what Jim Crow laws did for a century to make sure black people couldn't vote because they weren't educated. So maybe not the best idea.
