He's the guy who writes Dillbert Comics

2018-09-06 10:41:43 UTC

Interesting, thank you for the recommendation

2018-09-06 10:42:15 UTC

yeah he's great, i dont always agree with him, but he's definitly worth a listen
he makes you think and tries to make you look a bit further ahead

2018-09-06 10:42:27 UTC

interesting commentary

2018-09-06 10:42:53 UTC

Well how is there no connection between a reason & a goal? I can create solutions to things that may make sense to me, but might be insane to you. But what must be done hat to done?

2018-09-06 10:43:22 UTC

a solution to both sides

2018-09-06 10:43:30 UTC

but lunch so afk

2018-09-06 10:45:27 UTC

i'd reccomend jordan peterson as well, and particularily on the brain structure and politics.
ive come to the view that both the left and right view the world in a different way, and both ways are sort of viable

2018-09-06 10:45:42 UTC

I watch some JP too

2018-09-06 10:46:33 UTC

its interesting right? how he talks about politics, left and right... and brains
he asked; "why do we have 2 hemispheres?" and most animals have it as well

2018-09-06 10:46:35 UTC

There's a channel not really known called Liana K that's pretty alright, she's quite a rational person

2018-09-06 10:46:45 UTC

Only 23k subs

2018-09-06 10:46:55 UTC

Because let us consider the perspective of the sjw types, because they have a solution in their own eyes, & it is the one they need to do in their perspective to accomplish some thing.

2018-09-06 10:47:10 UTC

Don't agree with her 100% but she's alright

2018-09-06 10:47:24 UTC

oh yeah i think ive heard of her, liana k had a small role in the gamergate controversy

2018-09-06 10:56:01 UTC

You guys know the kavanaugh hearings are just a show right ?

2018-09-06 10:56:49 UTC

Dude is already going to get confirmed because repubs have the house

2018-09-06 10:57:01 UTC

Yes

2018-09-06 10:57:38 UTC

I feel like some people thought different like the protestors

2018-09-06 11:03:32 UTC

You know, I am real happy the Americans got the lead out of their petrol despite corporate lobbying.

2018-09-06 11:04:30 UTC

"A common solution" then da Britain

2018-09-06 11:04:58 UTC

if you wanna get that level of specific on what i said ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-09-06 11:05:48 UTC

What are common solutions?

2018-09-06 11:06:33 UTC

Liana K is a bit weird. Like she's usually pretty rational and then occasionally she just throws a big curveball that you'd never expect from her. Like last time I heard of her she was in favor of Count Dankula's charges.

2018-09-06 11:08:31 UTC

a common solution is one that both sides can be happy with

2018-09-06 11:09:22 UTC

like if Hitler arose, both left and right in america would agree to get rid of him

A common solution ๐Ÿ˜‰

2018-09-06 11:11:06 UTC

As a centrist I believe we should have Hitler in *some* power.

2018-09-06 11:11:51 UTC

That is not a common solution wol, that is a common goal.

2018-09-06 11:11:51 UTC

Portuguese hitler, ruler of a lazy country full of gay people ๐Ÿค”

2018-09-06 11:12:41 UTC

Stopping Naziism is the goal, killing the iconic fuhrer is the solution

2018-09-06 11:15:08 UTC

Well didnโ€™t you say that a goal is the core of problems?

2018-09-06 11:17:29 UTC

*โ€œa goal is bad, a goal is too vague and can become taintedโ€*

2018-09-06 11:20:10 UTC

yes, cuz a goal is only an aim

A solution actually has steps to getting there

2018-09-06 11:22:47 UTC

A goal:
End poverty
Achieve social equality
Opportunity for everyone

A common solution:
More jobs than workers, so wages go up
Stop categorising people by an arbitrary criterea
Free market anyone can enter/leave

2018-09-06 11:24:03 UTC

cuz the goal of ending poverty can also have as a solution "Take from the rich and give to the poor (socialism)" but its not much of a solution for the rich who just lose out

2018-09-06 11:24:11 UTC

so its not a solution for both

2018-09-06 11:26:06 UTC

I mean i might phrase it poorly, but you understand what i mean

2018-09-06 11:26:26 UTC

having just a goal, is bad because it can get tainted

2018-09-06 11:29:36 UTC

Then how do implement your solutions you proposed without it way that both sides agree on? Because the socialist solution is one thing & yours is another. You in the end donโ€™t have a solution in common even if you have a goal in common.

2018-09-06 11:30:11 UTC

then its not a common solution

2018-09-06 11:30:23 UTC

Most of the west has a common goal, they just differ on how to achieve it

2018-09-06 11:30:28 UTC

take Healthcare for example

2018-09-06 11:30:37 UTC

the Left wants it paid by the state taxes

2018-09-06 11:30:51 UTC

The Right wants healthcare made cheap by having a highly competative market taht forces prices down to compete

2018-09-06 11:31:18 UTC

But neither side is saying "We must ban healthcare for every individual"

2018-09-06 11:31:28 UTC

"People should die if they get sick"

2018-09-06 11:34:52 UTC

Because at this point there is a problem with the solution even if the goal is fine.

2018-09-06 11:35:12 UTC

thats because both sides have a different solution

2018-09-06 11:48:23 UTC

@Beemann Here you go. I should say Inside Higher Ed is extremely reliable, it's the more tabloid-y of the two main Higher Ed-focused periodicals (the other being The Chronicle of Higher Ed).

It does look like I was confusing it with something else.

Justed looked at "The Far-Left "OK" Conspiracy So Nuts Even CNN Calls Them out" and saw Dr. Eugene Gu being mentioned so for the fun of it I google his name and saw that he is not a random verified person.

Some of the headline i found "Dr. Eugene Gu Accused of Sโ€Œexโ€Œuโ€Œal Asโ€Œโ€Œsโ€Œaโ€Œult and โ€˜Toโ€Œrmeโ€Œntinโ€Œgโ€™ Ex-Girlfriend on Twitter", "This Vanderbilt doctor got political. Then he sued Trump and won. Now he's out of a job.", "Doctor known for criticizing Trump loses job at Vanderbilt"

And on Twitter keeps pushing that the OK sign is WP.....

Did you know there's an entire genre dedicated to wanting to kill yourself because you don't have a girlfriend

2018-09-06 12:28:12 UTC

It's called shoegaze :^)

2018-09-06 12:28:23 UTC

Shoegaze is pretty terrible though, it's like U2 and Nirvana had a kid and the kid survived abortion

2018-09-06 12:32:15 UTC

Reee

2018-09-06 12:32:29 UTC

MBV is good you virgin

2018-09-06 12:34:06 UTC

To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to appreciate shoegaze, without a solid grasp of intense self-hatred and unimaginable loneliness most of the lyrics will go over the casual listener's head

2018-09-06 12:34:09 UTC

I would like to respectfully disagree, I can see the appeal but eh

2018-09-06 12:34:09 UTC

etc.

2018-09-06 12:34:17 UTC

any big comic fans in here?

2018-09-06 12:34:23 UTC

I wanna do a video about Captain marvel

2018-09-06 12:34:24 UTC

I forgot the copypasta

2018-09-06 12:34:31 UTC

I'm semi big into comics, but idk much about Captain Marvel sorry

2018-09-06 12:34:34 UTC

Tim just do it it's your channel

2018-09-06 12:34:43 UTC

i want to talk to someone who knows all about marvel

2018-09-06 12:34:44 UTC

i dont

2018-09-06 12:34:53 UTC

๐Ÿค”

2018-09-06 12:34:54 UTC

and it would be impossible for me to read decades worth of comics

2018-09-06 12:35:08 UTC

That's fair, yeah. I'll ask around, I got some buddies who're pretty big into that

2018-09-06 12:35:19 UTC

If that fails I'm in a few D&D servers, someone's bound to know

2018-09-06 12:35:48 UTC

I don't really like superhero plotlines

2018-09-06 12:36:23 UTC

2018-09-06 12:36:31 UTC

Did captain marvel enter the culture war?

2018-09-06 12:36:35 UTC

If I want to know anything about comics and SJW crap I go to /co/.

2018-09-06 12:36:47 UTC

Probably a good idea

2018-09-06 12:37:39 UTC

I'd ask around but it's 5:37 here

2018-09-06 12:39:39 UTC

captain marvel is the culutre war

2018-09-06 12:39:49 UTC

brie larson is an sjw

2018-09-06 12:40:10 UTC

so i see ppl talking about how they retconned Marvel specifically with a movie in mind so the MCU can have a female lead

2018-09-06 12:40:20 UTC

and they are making her the most powerful MCU character

2018-09-06 12:40:25 UTC

๐Ÿค”

2018-09-06 12:40:29 UTC

which is crazy considering Thor is stronger than anyone

2018-09-06 12:40:49 UTC

Aquaman's stronger, Tim. Thor can totally drown

2018-09-06 12:41:04 UTC

All jokes aside I'm putting the feelers out

2018-09-06 12:42:30 UTC

I thought Doctor Strange was the strongest character in Marvel <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

2018-09-06 12:42:31 UTC

Will they ever figure out forced representation doesn't work? It's not that hard to make a female/LGBT/etc. character without cramming it down your throat

2018-09-06 12:43:18 UTC

Representation works like mad for Marvel. Black Panther made bank.

2018-09-06 12:43:30 UTC

It's all intersectionality from here on out.

2018-09-06 12:43:38 UTC

Doctor strange movie was cool i liked it

2018-09-06 12:43:46 UTC

Studio ghibli knew how to write strong female lead characters.

2018-09-06 12:43:52 UTC

Black muslim trans spiderperson in a wheelchair.

2018-09-06 12:44:17 UTC

It's called differently abled you bigot.

2018-09-06 12:44:18 UTC

What sorta thing are you looking for specifically Tim? A history of the character?

2018-09-06 12:44:57 UTC

>diversity
>90% black

2018-09-06 12:45:27 UTC

Or like, an overview of the cultural implications of the character, the various versions of Captain Marvel, you feel me

2018-09-06 12:45:53 UTC

I'd ping him if you're trying to make sure he sees it

2018-09-06 12:46:55 UTC

@Timcast A friend recommended the Comicstorian channel for giving good overviews of characters' histories/backstories. There's a few vids about Captain Marvel on YouTube. Most of my friends say they don't know themselves, possibly got someone who knows someone

2018-09-06 12:49:33 UTC

What sorta knowledge specifically though? Are we talking just character history or further detail about cultural implications etc?

2018-09-06 12:50:13 UTC

2x speed is super useful for research

2018-09-06 12:50:31 UTC

I just watched an entire IT course again

2018-09-06 12:50:31 UTC

Oh I thought 2x speed removed sound, did they remove that?

2018-09-06 12:50:51 UTC

that was a bug like 4 years ago

how is this the monopoly? do normies really spoon-feed that much?

2018-09-06 12:52:38 UTC

Otherwise Marvel.wikia is also a pretty decent source, Captain Marvel is listed as Mar-Vell and the current Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers (Earth-616)

2018-09-06 13:09:12 UTC

Linus didnt even shoplift

2018-09-06 13:09:13 UTC

I did

2018-09-06 13:09:22 UTC

I actually was able to take a full bag of shit out of the amazon store without paying

2018-09-06 13:09:27 UTC

and its so stupid easy

2018-09-06 13:09:29 UTC

no one tried to stop me

2018-09-06 13:11:54 UTC

Are you going to tell us how? The good faith agreement with Amazon should of ended by now.

2018-09-06 13:13:00 UTC

i wont make a vid about it or tweet but the discord is relatively small

2018-09-06 13:13:02 UTC

so basically

2018-09-06 13:13:06 UTC

steal items from someone elses bag

2018-09-06 13:13:14 UTC

Thor in the marvel comics has been replaced by a female. basically all the marvel IPs have been getting replaced with women in the comics and they are not selling. Ironman comics are about "iron heart", Thor comics have some random chick, Captain Marvel used to be male, now is female.

2018-09-06 13:13:17 UTC

ha

2018-09-06 13:13:23 UTC

its so stupid easy

2018-09-06 13:13:32 UTC

just walk up to someones bag and grab something

2018-09-06 13:13:43 UTC

i did a bag swap

2018-09-06 13:13:45 UTC

walked in

2018-09-06 13:13:47 UTC

grabbed mints

2018-09-06 13:13:50 UTC

put my bag down

2018-09-06 13:13:51 UTC

But they still pay fot it?

2018-09-06 13:13:54 UTC

grabbed a different bag

2018-09-06 13:13:55 UTC

walked out

2018-09-06 13:14:03 UTC

the other person will be charged for it

2018-09-06 13:14:05 UTC

FREEZE, IT'S THE INTERNET POLICE, PUT YOUR HANDS UP, WE GOT YOU RED HANDED

2018-09-06 13:14:30 UTC

thats not stealing from amazon, thats stealing from other shoppers

2018-09-06 13:14:31 UTC

then that person will likely just get a refund

2018-09-06 13:14:34 UTC

no it isnt

2018-09-06 13:14:37 UTC

its stealing from amazon

2018-09-06 13:14:45 UTC

It's a the Lucky dip of supermarket shopping.

2018-09-06 13:14:46 UTC

when youre in the store no one has bought anything

2018-09-06 13:14:46 UTC

So a great thing happened today. Homosexuality is no longer a crime in India

2018-09-06 13:14:54 UTC

Oh damn, nice!

2018-09-06 13:15:01 UTC

if amazon charges someone for something they didnt buy amazon is stealing from them

2018-09-06 13:15:22 UTC

I had a couple other ideas

2018-09-06 13:15:24 UTC

The downside being that the same article was the one used to prosecute male rape

2018-09-06 13:15:24 UTC

like

2018-09-06 13:15:36 UTC

what would happen if you brought an item IN the stotre

2018-09-06 13:15:41 UTC

like being peanut butter and put it on the shelf

2018-09-06 13:15:42 UTC

or

2018-09-06 13:15:46 UTC

swap an empty for full

2018-09-06 13:15:50 UTC

got a half used paenut butter?

2018-09-06 13:15:59 UTC

pour in some water for weight

2018-09-06 13:16:03 UTC

swap with a full one

2018-09-06 13:16:17 UTC

Doesn't the shop have weight detectors? The same level of water wouldn't be the same weight, would it?

2018-09-06 13:16:20 UTC

I was curious if the system could issue credits

2018-09-06 13:16:36 UTC

like if i brought in peanut butter and just put it on a shelf what would the computer think?

2018-09-06 13:16:41 UTC

Maybe pebbles could work

2018-09-06 13:16:43 UTC

and would it charge someone if they took MY peanut butter?

2018-09-06 13:16:43 UTC

weight does not equal value

2018-09-06 13:17:20 UTC

Aren't the Products placed by barcode?

2018-09-06 13:17:20 UTC

buy PB

2018-09-06 13:17:23 UTC

weigh PB

2018-09-06 13:17:26 UTC

take out PB

2018-09-06 13:17:28 UTC

fill with rocks

2018-09-06 13:17:32 UTC

equal weight

2018-09-06 13:17:33 UTC

infinite PB

2018-09-06 13:17:40 UTC

just go in and swap it

2018-09-06 13:17:52 UTC

I wonder if any of the kitchen workers would stop someone if they saw that

2018-09-06 13:17:54 UTC

'Free refills'

2018-09-06 13:17:57 UTC

theres also flavor problems

2018-09-06 13:18:06 UTC

like if I mix up the yogurt flavoras

2018-09-06 13:18:10 UTC

They almost certainly have every angle of the store covered with cameras, with the feed being processed by an AI.

2018-09-06 13:18:15 UTC

they weight the same in the same area but are different products

2018-09-06 13:19:49 UTC

but my main point about amazon store is that

2018-09-06 13:19:56 UTC

they have made it ridiculously easy to shoplift

2018-09-06 13:20:07 UTC

their system is EASIER to steal from than a regular market

2018-09-06 13:20:10 UTC

and no one will stop you

2018-09-06 13:20:17 UTC

they are hoping the honor system works

2018-09-06 13:20:29 UTC

heres another really easy way to shoplift

2018-09-06 13:20:32 UTC

get a dummy card

2018-09-06 13:20:35 UTC

sign up for amazon

2018-09-06 13:20:38 UTC

fill cart

card declined

2018-09-06 13:22:51 UTC

whole foods is going to implement this system at some point

2018-09-06 13:23:03 UTC

poor people will steal easily

2018-09-06 13:23:10 UTC

prices will go up to accommodate

2018-09-06 13:23:14 UTC

middle class eats cost

2018-09-06 13:23:19 UTC

Next time you go there pay special attention for hidden cameras.

2018-09-06 13:23:29 UTC

there arent any

2018-09-06 13:23:36 UTC

there are like 70 cameras ont he ceiling you can see

2018-09-06 13:23:41 UTC

the point is

2018-09-06 13:23:47 UTC

if you "accidentally" steal

2018-09-06 13:23:52 UTC

can you be arrested?

2018-09-06 13:24:30 UTC

They can do facial recognition for repeat offenders and immediately send loss prevention personnel to kick you out.

2018-09-06 13:24:43 UTC

And sell your facial recognition data to other companies.

2018-09-06 13:24:51 UTC

Knowing who is a thief is valuable information.

2018-09-06 13:25:03 UTC

they dont have loss prevention

2018-09-06 13:25:10 UTC

Well that's stupid.

2018-09-06 13:25:18 UTC

and if you steal it wont be on your record

2018-09-06 13:25:26 UTC

liek if you take from someone elses bag

2018-09-06 13:25:30 UTC

theyd have to watch all the footage to find when

2018-09-06 13:25:36 UTC

AI can do that.

2018-09-06 13:25:53 UTC

no it cant

2018-09-06 13:26:00 UTC

if it could track the bag swap the swap wouldnt work in the first place

2018-09-06 13:26:12 UTC

the tracker works by detecting where u are and when the weight is lifted

2018-09-06 13:26:31 UTC

thats why different flavotrs dont work either

2018-09-06 13:26:43 UTC

I'm talking about the cameras.

2018-09-06 13:26:44 UTC

if I put strawberry yogurt in the banana section it cant tell which one was lifted

2018-09-06 13:27:22 UTC

If China can watch all intersections for jaywalkers and text your ticket to your phone seconds after your crime, Amazon can probably cook something up to catch thieves.

2018-09-06 13:28:40 UTC

imagine this

2018-09-06 13:28:45 UTC

youre walking in the store

2018-09-06 13:28:47 UTC

2018-09-06 13:28:51 UTC

items all scatter

2018-09-06 13:28:54 UTC

2018-09-06 13:29:03 UTC

who is the shoplifter

2018-09-06 13:29:30 UTC

if you dont return the item it DOES charge you

2018-09-06 13:29:43 UTC

2018-09-06 13:29:50 UTC

2018-09-06 13:30:00 UTC
