| YouTube is the number one video-sharing platform in the world with more than 95% of the internet population using it. It provides videos ranging from silly pranks, heartwarming stories, news about the latest global issues, people's personal interests, information about cutting edge science, genuine debates between people who disagree but want to understand each other, lies to serve a political agenda, the ramblings of mentally ill people and everything in between.
YouTube has an algorithm that focuses on overall audience satisfaction, over providing people with a neutral, objective or balanced perspective on the world. It suggests videos based on how users with similar viewing patterns to your own reacted. It personalizes its recommendations based on channels to which you’ve already subscribed. This poses a risk of limiting people's access to information, that they didn't know they would have wanted to know.
I created this topic to exchange informative and educational videos with other people, who might have been algorithmically limited to other content than I am myself. I do suggest to limit this topic to informative and educational content, because there are already enough other topics for fun and questionable stuff.
Although politics and climate change can be categorized as informative and educational, there are already enough other topics debating politics and climate change. Science in general isn't political, neither is (or should) philosophy. Religion is associated with politics, but honest debates on this topic are not political, in my opinion. If you think these subjects are all terribly boring, I don't agree, but then this topic is not for you. That's OK. |
The government has mandated cars to be so difficult, hard to repair, ugly.
People are so lazy so it is logical hobby's like hot-rodding and car building are dwindling.
terriable.
I think the time of cars being designed ugly was a trend that ended now.
Cars are being made to look nicer again. It's taste of course, but I'm seeing some very beautiful new cars lately. While Japanese and French cars were hideous and boring the past decade, they are making better looking cars now. Most people don't want to drive something ugly.
I still see many popular car TV programs. I don't think a shortage of that is a reason for the lack in skilled mechanics. It's just the choice young people need to make for their education. Does the education to become a mechanic result in a good income?
There is the same cause for why there are not enough pharmacy assistants in my country; it requires an advance education, but the pay is only slightly above minimum wage. Young people are not going to invest in an education that doesn't provide them
a good living standard. That's not being lazy, that's being rational.

I think there is a big chance it's just a myth.
That giga press is a nice innovation. Tesla only gets a small part of the credit though, because the Italians were already developing it. That's an example of electric cars
driving innovation, because it's a company being forced to think of something new,
for when the market for engine blocks will disappear. At least Tesla has a lot of money
to create that new market. However, I expect a bit more from the wealthiest man in the world. Driving the innovation towards affordable electric cars is worthwhile, but it's at best 3% of the solution for the world's climate emergency. How about investing in solutions for the other 97%+ of the problem.

It really makes you understand how deregulation of the banks allowed them to gamble with people's money and allowed them to scam their customers and gain the financial system, to profit from it personally. Remember that, when you hear politicians talking about deregulation of financial systems.
I find this all very centered on men. Woman face the exact same challenges nowadays. They might face a bit different challenges relating to the pursuit of fleeting pleasures. Instead of being controlled by the the impulses from their throbbing dick, women have problems controlling the impulses from their burning credit card. Otherwise, they have mostly the same problems. Also, I don't think these points are just related to modern life, these have been important since people needed to be independent. They are not much relevant to a serf or a slave, but a caveman needed to think about lots of future interest, instead of seducing females, if he wanted to survive.
Republicans are literally trying to ban No-fault divorce.
That means: "Once I hook you, you're mine forever!"
That's only supported by insecure boys, NOT MEN!
Here's a take I agree with, on this issue:
only registered users can see external links
That's another discussion. Are you now saying that even divorce, when someone is at fault for breaking the commitment, should be banned?
Divorce is a contract, that is valid until someone breaks it. There is a discussion on how much of that contract is still valid, when one of the participants is not keeping up the commitment to that contract, but we are talking about NO-FAULT divorce.
Under No-fault divorce, it might be just one of the participants, who was not keeping the commitment, it might also be both of them. It might be the one who was not keeping the commitment, who wants to break the contract. It might also be the victim of the other one who was not keeping the commitment, who wants to break the contract. They might both be guilty of not keeping the commitment.
Are you allowing the government to step in and forbid them breaking the contract?
If so, is only the contract of marriage unbreakable to you, or all contracts?
I've seen two divorces from up close. In both cases cheating was not an issue.
In both cases, I ended up picking the side of the person who got the divorce forced upon them. That doesn't mean they had no guilt in the marriage going wrong,
but I think the others had more guilt. I think it would have been horrible if the government had forced them to stay together. They felt like victims for a while,
but they are both better off now.
I just mentioned cheating as that is what actually ruined my family was my mother running off with other men when my dad was working
So are some marriages. Often, staying together is worse.
Do you want to let people decide that for themselves
or do you want government to force them to stay together?
Your mother blaming you was of course vile; she was the one cheating.
Would you have wanted your father to be forced to stay together with a
cheating wife? Would that have made your childhood better?
But, could it be that those experiences shaped your opinions on women somewhat?
I would say it helped alot to foster distrust in people in general. i mean, yes my mother ran around,but it also took sorry ass men that knew she was married for her to misbehave like she did. So trusting people in general was probably shaped by it all.
It's all not a situation that encourages trust in humanity.
I just don't understand why it made you support the concept of marriage more.
It would probably make me support the concept of marriage (even) less.
If people hold it to such low standards, why even practice it?
Marriage is obviously unsuccessful at keeping anyone faithful,
so what's the point? Just keeping them tied to you, while they are
fucking everyone? I say; cut them loose and find another.
When it comes to money; it depends on how much history the couple has with each other and how much one depended on the income of the other. That's a commitment you agree on, when you sign the papers and it's a commitment that builds in time. One mistake after decades, from a woman who cared for the children, while the man was out working, does not cut away her right to alimony. A divorce after 1 year doesn't allow any right to half the shared capital, unless they won the lottery together. It's all nuanced.

Did you find it for a music related project?
but I was more impressed with his system. It doesn't say much, because there was also a 15 year gap between them. That's no comparison.
The $400 amplifier I bought was great, but I hardly used its potential. I only have 2 speakers of at best moderate quality. It broke, but the vendor had a extended warranty policy for it. I spent another $250 for a newer model. That one sound exactly like the first one on those 2 speakers. I am planning to upgrade those speakers, but it is very low on my priority list. I hardly use that amplifier. When I listen to music, it's on 2 pretty good PC speakers, in my car (which has crap speakers, but optimized for the low power in-car multimedia system), or on my $100 in-ears. I have a Sony WH-1000X M3 headphone laying around, that would provide the best sound, but I hardly use it.
I'm not very picky when it comes to sound. I want to have decent base, decent range, without any rattling, then I'm fine with it. When I hear a good quality system, I recognize that it's much better, but I'm not interested in spending the money to have it.
I can enjoy the music in the quality I'm willing to pay for.
If you are interested in hearing an actual teacher provide a summary of the science of Everything, from the Big Bang to Evolution, Forrest Valkai has done it very well, on a TikTok Live Stream in August 2021.
"This stream covers an awful lot, but is simple enough to be digestible by anyone who wants to understand the actual story of the universe and us creatures who live in it."

A Brief History of Everything
Good video just over 3.5 hours long (3:33:15 minutes).
At 6:30 , Forrest states, "If you're here to push your religion, I didn't come to your church to
teach science, so, please kindly take your religion out of my science
classroom. It's just not necessary …"

He has a very positive attitude about it and treats true believers kindly and respectfully, but he's not careful with his arguments.

Nikola Tesla was obviously smart, and he discovered some very useful things, like alternating current. He should have been recognized and rewarded for it, but I'm afraid his ambition was stronger than his ability to deliver results. His elaborate experiments didn't help him advance understanding of electricity much. Wireless communication works with electromagnetic waves, but using a Tesla coil to produce them is very inefficient. Others beat him to the theories and the practical applications. His experiments were very expensive, but didn't provide his investors with any return on investment. Instead of inventing marketable applications, like Edison did, he pursued futuristic fantasies, that have never become reality. I think he was foremost a skilled engineer. It's a true genius to created and operate what he did, without electrocuting everyone. If he had collaborated with a theoretical genius, they would have invented everything that others did, based on his wild ideas. Maybe he just lived 50 to 100 too early. He would have done great in our time.

Helping people is indeed not always about money, even if they are lacking money. Some people just need help. If you have the skills to help, that's more effective. Some people are lacking time, if you have the time, you can help with some time. Maybe they have the skills to do it themselves, but they lack the tools, then you can lend them the tools. Maybe they don't have the skills and you have, then you can teach them the skills. Sometimes they only lack the confidence and a little support allows them to help themselves. Some people are just alone and just need a friend.
In this case, they donated time and saved him a bunch of money for a new car. By making a nice video from it, they generate a lot of views, get advertisement money from YouTube, which helps them help the next family. Meanwhile, they might motivate someone to start learning those skills or to help people with the skills they already have.
