fun hater posted:i come from nevada, i do absolve these things bc the locals know better than to give them money lol This is the same tired old attitude that leads to "opiod addicts just need to stop using" "fatness is 100% a personal failing" "abuse victims should just leave" "lol, who spends their life savings on a gacha game" and "well they should have known it was a scam" When you've got companies or individuals spending decent chunks of money trying to find the best ways to get money out of people, not caring how much it could potentially impact their lives for the worse, the solution isn't to just sit back and allow it to happen so you can feel superior. In your case, so you're completely fine with casinos engaging in predatory practices because they're not affecting the locals, just people you don't know? As someone who has spent time trying to help migrant workers dealing with large companies, that goes some loving fun places very quickly. I'd also doubt that being a Nevada local grants some sort of magic immunity to gambling problems. YouTube, all social media, is about trying to get you to spend as much time as possible either interacting with it, or thinking about it, to a mentally unhealthy degree because that's where the money is for them, the fact that some people are more susceptible to that is not a failing of them as an individual.

Isn't shad an Ozzie? Racism is kind of part of the parcel there. I'll also throw out a very mixed rec for Metatron, with the caveat that the dude gets incredibly worked up about historically inaccurate black people and women in historical dramas. Knight errant was good, had a few videos comparing replicas to historical armor, but I haventnwatched much there for ages

John Murdoch posted:Usually when I think "when on earth am I going to use X" when it comes to school stuff, it's entirely high level poo poo like trigonometry where I'm not even sure I can even describe what trig actually is off the top of my head. Well past general concepts like "word problems". (Though also there's probably some quibbling to be had about the quality and style of word problems; directly placing math into real world examples is one thing, creating tedious riddles is another.) I work in trades, the dawning horror on students faces when they realise that percentages, trigonometry, formula transposition are required and sometimes used everyday is always hilarious to me.

My hobbies of weightlifting, hunting/bushcrafting and gaming makes it just so loving tiring to find new channels while weeding out the lunatics. And even when you find one, at any second they can just go all in on the chud crap. If Steve Wallis ever turns out to be right wing I may just give up on the internet altogether.

The Chad Jihad posted:There actually is a small increase in the likelihood of certain bad health conditions for the baby the older the father is Yeah, it's absolutely a thing. From memory it's increased risk of diabetes, some cancers, and I want to say ADHD? Humans as a whole are kinda genetically predisposed to having kids before 30, the further past that you go the more it's a dice roll. Also, as someone who became a parent at 31, I'm looking sideways at someone who decides to put themselves through a newborn in their 40s. gently caress that noise

Shyrka posted:In less helpful Youtube changes they've gotten rid of the channels tab when you look at someone's channel. That was my most useful tool for quickly screening videos before watching, being able to see if the creator is subbed to Count Dankula or Mauler or some poo poo like that so I know not to bother watching their stuff. It was also useful for finding new channels, a lot of bushcrafters for example network together so it was a valid way for pre-screening new ones. Particularly with youtubes search function still being complete and utter poo poo.

Arc Hammer posted:This could have been entirely about the reclamation project in New Zealand. It's the coolest part of Dan's video so naturally it's 90 seconds long and misrepresented in the Docu-ganda movie. It's also full of poo poo. I grew up about 5 mins drive from the globe mine and use to go hiking there with my dad before they literally turned a hill into a lake. Now you can't get anywhere near it, all the roads are gated off, no public access and no timeline for if people will ever be allowed in there again. Supposedly 2023 was going to be the final date but ??? The money the mine was supposed to bring into the town has dried up completely now. Not that Reefton really saw much of it, they were bussing in workers from the more populous greymouth anyway. And yet it's still the poster child being used to argue for more mining of public conservation land. I won't argue it's one of the best mining remediation jobs ever done, but that's a loving low bar to clear.

trilobite terror posted:a lot of big breadtubers have been on an “obesity doesn’t actually exist” and “the negative health effects of obesity don’t actually exist” kick, combining a completely valid and correct desire to combat social and medical fatshaming/misogyny/racism with good old-fashioned scientific illiteracy There's a drat reason that there is a new figurehead for HAES every few years. Being happy how you are is incredibly valid, but the evidence is pretty overwhelming that being obese is killing you.

Ooh, fitness youtubers, a few recs from me: The good- Renaissance Periodization Super focused looks into tons of movements and programs by a professor and bodybuilding coach. Excellent, evidence based work. Watch it before Mike's mouth gets him cancelled. Jeff Nippard Again, evidence based approach. His minimalist training routine was a godsend when my daughter was young and sleep was a luxury. Also some good nutritional advice. Shredded sports science Watch his older vids, he made lots of high end stuff on supplements and their various claims then, having said everything he wanted to, stepped back and now basically just released a video every month or so dunking on fitness influencers. The ok- Alexander Bromley Has a powerlifting focus, advice that seems to work for me. Has some hot takes on science based approaches. Trainer winnie Good beginner advice, also weird hangups on science, dude literally calls the worst exercises for a given muscle "science based" in his rankings. Alan Thrall Dude who owns a gym, has kids but still wants to be strong and fit. Some people don't trust him because he admits in his earlier stuff he had no idea what he was doing. I say that being able to admit you're wrong puts him in the top 90% of youtubers. Mark Lewis Was a fat goony 40 year old. Now a 50 year old who runs marathons for fun. The Bad- Vshred gently caress them, laughing stock of the industry Anyone who swears by supplements other than creatine Diet loonies like the liver king.

A good PT is worth their weight in gold, my old one took me from a blown shoulder joint, unable to even press the bar to a 160kg bench. I work at an educational institution which has a personal training course and gym, the students there are maybe 20% people who want to train others, 10% physiotherapist types, 20% people doing it out of interest and 50% doing it so they can write PT on their insta.

Honestly if Somerton had broken out the ukulele and blatantly ripped off that crazy lady I'd have had a lot more respect for him. Just turn into a plagiarism elemental. Film his next couple of videos wearing an old lab coat. Do a word for word remake of Dan Olson's stuff. Talk entirely in movie quotes.

A bit late, but sometimes with games the suffering is the point. Hell, I love how in pathologic 2, in order to get the pistol you have to go on a murdering spree, sell some organs and basically make everyone hate you and attack you on sight. Meanwhile if you don't try and fight everything you basically don't even need a weapon or to engage with the (seemingly deliberately) terrible combat.

When our daughter was born we ran a white noise machine for her. Once she was sleeping through the night we got one for us, it gave my wife the best sleep ever and absolutely trashed mine. I have the best drat sleep when the room is below 16°c and I have a weighted blanket.

Jimbot posted:I played a ton of CRPG but I just never could wrap my head around any of the math or systems. There was a brief window where I completely understood THAC0 and could explain it to another human being and not thac0 freaks but I'm just thankful that automation exist in those games. As I got older and more socially aware I started to see the clinks in the armor and how problematic or downright lovely the systems were (or could be) and not just the inherently evil race thing, which is pretty self-explanatory as to why this is awful. For example, stats: beyond the mechanical "why does it go up to 20 when every other number does nothing" or in AD&D where it's worthless to stop at 14 because 10-14 you get nothing in terms of worthwhile bonuses except few extra pounds of carry weight I never like the idea of measuring intelligence or any other attribute. I've always loved how min-maxing is usually the only optimal way to interact with this kind of system, then you look at the real world and it's the complete opposite. Look at how many top athletes also have a huge knowledge around sports science, nutrition, mental health management. Idiots should have just dumped it all into strength or endurance.

LanceHunter posted:This guy/channel is probably the perfect example of why fitness youtube is so terrible. He's genuinely an expert in the field and extremely well-informed, but his sense of humor is so extremely cringe it makes the videos difficult to watch. Like, here's one of his more tolerable videos... I think he's hit that issue all niche youtubers get to. He's delivered basically all the info he needs on the topic. If you want training plans, nutrition, how to do exercises, it's all in the back catalog. So what do you do now? If there's not really any new info to deliver, then you have to make it about the person delivering it. He's cringe as hell yes, but it also seems to be working, Dr Mike shows up loving everywhere, and he's usually way more toned down and serious on other people's channels, closer to what he was like in his older videos, so it's clearly a deliberate choice to present like that. Like shredded sports science, that dude has some of the absolute best vids about supplements and the evidence behind them, but once he'd covered them all he basically just said he was done and now spends his time dunking on social media videos. Or the various bushcrafting channels that cover fire making, shelters and finally hit the rock bottom that is Ali Express challenges.
