It’s not necessarily domestic abuse, like the other commenter said. But it does have a flavour of “haha women ammiright?”
It’s not just women who sulk. It’s okay to take space sometimes from an argument but communicate about that. If the relationship is worth it, address passive aggressiveness as it comes up. Both people in this meme are being passive aggressive.
Which obviously isn’t the same as domestic abuse so that’s, Yknow, a stretch.
Tom Scott, very wholesome guy who has been making weekly ~10 min videos about all sorts of interesting topics for many years. He is one of the og youtube channels
Imo, it’s absolutely fantastic for things like cards and gift bags.
People only look at a card for like 30 seconds and then forget about it. It makes more sense to get one at 1/6 of the price of a regular one. Same thing with gift bags.
For most other things, everything in it is shit. But it has its niche cases where it’s superior like that.
Yep, their business model is basically to sell smaller packages for a low upfront price, taking advantage of customers that either don’t have the money to buy the big package or have limited transport options.
It’s another one of those things that illustrate that it’s expensive to be poor.
They didn’t talk about it because crazy shit happened to that fucking ship every day. I could just imagine some ensign going home to his wife like ‘The ship gave birth today’ and she just rolls her eyes and goes back to her book.
The funny part about that is, even though he was the one who got the shit over it, the fucking ship came on to him. He just wanted to talk about the goddamn warp drive.
We can set aside how Geordi conducted himself after the hologram had been made as well, if you’d like. That doesn’t even begin to address how he acted when the real Dr. Brahms came on board the ship. Dude’s a certfied incel creep.
The way he acts towards the read Doctor Brahms certainly does not cast the character in the most flattering light, but what did he do in “Booby Trap” that was so bad?
My favorite example of this is from The Chase, where they discover the origin of all humanoid species in the galaxy, probably the most important discovery made in the history of Starfleet, and it’s never mentioned again.
There is way more nuance to and lack of agreement on these topics than is presented here. Do I think God could forgive Jeffrey Dhamer? Absolutely. Do people go to “hell” for being gay? Absolutely not. First, because hell (as in the place of eternal torment) doesn’t exist. Second, being gay isnt a sin.
And yes, I know there’s an army of other Christians out there who are are foaming at the mouth in disagreement.
I’ve had the notion of producing some SDXL images of jesus doing hateful things that Christians do, like holding up a “god hates f*gs” sign or roaring and frothing at a trump rally. Make them see what “Christ through them” looks like. Put it on billboards and shit.
Good idea. It is odd how the old and New Testament seem to be at odds with each other in so many ways yet “Christians” who supposedly follow Christ seem to think “god” or the Old Testament biblical version of him, outweighs christs teachings of god, whenever they feel like being justified in their hatred. They’re closer to Muslim than Christian in their closeness of actions to teachings.
To a sizeable number of “Christians”, Jesus is more of an abstract concept than an actual being. Believing he existed is more important than listening to or living out what he had to say. I mean, I’ve actually quoted passages from the bible to people when they try to rug sweep Trumps many moral bankruptcies or start shitting all over poor people or immigrants. And what do they do? They look down at their feet for a few seconds with a sort of guilty expression on their face. Then, they just kind of shake it off and launch right back into whatever bullshit they were spouting before.
If any of those people ever bothered to crack a bible, they would find a fair chunk of it is spent vehemently railing against the things they are pushing for.
It’s ome thing to abstract it and another entirely to be staring at a billboard where your god is shown to be as vile and hate-fuelled as you are. Make them get angry about it, and point out at every enfuriated comment that they’re only proving the point.
I’ve always strongly disliked Tom, and I don’t really know why.
I love many channels with the same kind of videos, it’s right up my alley, and I should be a fan. But every time I try to watch any of his videos, I stop after a few seconds and think “nah, I can’t stand this guy”.
I’ve forced myself several times throughout the years to watch through whole videos with hope that it’ll pass, but it never does.
Everything else that I don’t like, I can explain why, but not with Tom and his videos.
The closest I can find is that he just seems like such a smug asshole.
I respect him as a creator and know that his videos are good. There’s just something in my brain that strongly reacts to him in a bad way. It so weird. He has covered many topics I’d love to know more about, and I’ve tried to watch those videos and just focus on the information, but I just can’t get past my mental and physical reaction of “stop, get away from this ASAP”.
Yep, same for me. It’s hard to explain. It’s unfair, because it’s so arbitrary, but something about him feels somehow insincere, and it makes me uncomfortable.
Vsauce is like that for me. Ever since he tricked people into believing they had actually mutilated and killed people with a train for an experiment possibly giving them real ptsd…
Vsauce for me as well, I like veritasium, because I feel like the questions being asked/answered are legitimately interesting questions/answers. With Vsauce I feel like the whole thing is just about him constructing unnecessarily “out of the box” answers in order to look smart.
For me it was how he would start his videos with asking people what he thought about something them basically going, I’m so much smarter than you here a video of why you are wrong you. Never included people getting it right because it wouldn’t fit his self centered narrative. I heard he’s stopped doing that but I won’t watch to find out.
For me it’s that he likes to go around asking people physics questions that he knows they will fail to answer correctly, only to smugly explain how they’re wrong.
It’s like those videos where they ask Americans to point to countries on a map so we can laugh at how bad they are at geography… if it was made by Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Thing is I usually know the answers to the questions so I get a kind of second-hand shame because I would totally feel like an arrogant prick if I did people dirty like that.
For me it’s the way he talks. Like he talks just like the smarmy British presenters and narrators that sound borderline condescending whether that’s their intention or not.
My mate told me that he seems very smug and not very English. I found that quite funny. I don’t particularly dislike Tom but I don’t go out of my way to watch him like others. I still remember his OnlyConnect appearances from way back. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s fine.
The closest I can find is that he just seems like such a smug asshole.
Check out Tom Scott Plus! He challenges himself a lot on that channel and pushes himself out of his comfort zone! I think it’s a great display of his humility and shows him outside of his usual role as more of a narrator on his main channel.
Some of my favorites from the plus channel are the episodes where he gives his producer a tattoo, overcomes his fear of rollercoasters, and tries to learn wrestling.
It’s interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I’ve seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.
Although, I’d love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn’t feel as unproductive if the videos are educational…
For whatever reason the nested comments aren’t loading but I’d think twice about uploading my bank statements or anything personal to an online photo editor.
