Now YouTube has a habit of recommending me the weirdest stuff recently, but today i got this on my recommendations
And about halfway through listening to this, I went and read the comments, literally I could not stop reading I was there for hours, here are some of my favorites
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL
HOOOOOOOOOOOLD the phone it’s real
it’s reeeeeeeeal
When Donald Trump said his lawyers would be speaking at the Four Seasons, he didn't mean THAT Four Seasons.
From The Washington Post. Damn
Do not let them make you numb.
So lemme get this straight
They’re telling me how many kids they think will potentially die based on corona statistics where children were not going to school during any of the heights of corona because it wasn’t safe … and now we’re at levels worse than we’ve ever seen …
and then they want to say it wont overwhelm hospitals that’re already overwhelmed to a point where people with chronic severe illnesses, pregnant people, etc. are dying because they can’t gain access to legitimate medical care.
And they want to cut federal funding to schools who don’t open, schools that are primarily funded by the value of the property around the school … meaning the richer the area the longer the school can stay closed … meaning the poorer schools have to open
meaning they’re forcing open schools who can’t afford paper and printer ink and sending them there with no real protection, no real PPE for teachers, students, or staff, schools that can’t even afford clean drinking water for their children …
And they think these kids wont get sick en masse, get their parents sick en masse, get the schools staff sick en masse, in areas where again the hospitals are already overwhelmed to a point where disabled people, people with chronic illnesses, and people who need their health monitored are already dying en masse and they want to throw more corona cases at the fire
And they don’t want me to call that genocide?
This is genocide by biological warfare, it’s not that fucking hard to see.
And let me get this straight
… instead of asking why people are being forced to go to school, forced to go to work, forced to go shopping, being evicted en masse, not being provided actual safety gear at their jobs?
instead of asking why our government in the richest country in the world isn’t providing effective PPE for essential workers, instead of asking why our government isnt paying people to stay at home, instead of asking why the government hasn’t issues rent freezes, instead of asking why our government isn’t providing meals? etc. like other countries have …
… much of the media would rather spend all our time talking about the stupid people we see at walmart not properly wearing a mask? and folks are actually feeling smug about that being their primary concern?

“Youve brought hateration and holleration to this dancery and thus have failed the vibe check.”
this is the funniest thing.
This deserved a transcription so here you go @redemptiionss:
Karen: [Loud exhasperated gasp] Where am I??
Vibe Leader, with pomp: You have been summoned to the House of ViiiiBES for your Vibe Check. State your name.
Karen: Karen???
Vibe 2: And is it true, Karen, that you’ve been buying all the toilet paper at Costco for the past 3 weeks?
Karen, bluntly: It i s.
Vibe 3: BLEGHHHGHHHHHGHH
Vibe 4, frantic: It has no regard for anyone but ITSELF!!
Vibe 5: It is selfish!
Vibe 2: And selfish is not a vibe.
Vibe Leader: NOT A VIBE!
Karen: I am a vibe, thank you very much. You guys are just jealous ‘cause you’re immigrants!
Vibe 3: BLEJHGHGHGHHHHHHHHHH
Vibe 2: Apparently, it’s also racist!

Karen: Look, I’m just trying to be prepared for the coronavirus.
Vibe 6: So are other people, darling.
Vibe 5: Plus, you bought all the hand sanitizer!
Vibe 4: What if someone gets coronavirus because of t h a t.
Karen, matter-of-factly: I’ll cure them with my essential oils.
Vibe 3: BBJGKDLSKERRRREHGHHHH
Vibe 6, hopelessly: It’s SO IGNORANT!
Karen: That’s it! I want to speak to your manager!
Vibe 2: There are no managers here, darling,
Vibe 5: Only VIBES.
Vibe 2: And you, Madame-
Vibe 7: -Are not brrringing them.
Karen: [perplexed and insulted] Agh!
Vibe Leader: Karen! You have brought hateration and holleration to this dancery and thus have f a i l e d the vibe check!
Karen: NOO!
Vibe Leader, darkly: Put her with Kaitlen Bennet.
Karen: [Loud, helpless screeching from the depths of her soulless being]
There was pushback. People formed rapid response and migrant support networks, blockaded and occupied facilities, blocked vans with human walls, attacked and boycotted financial sponsors, protested outside the homes of ICE officers, provided legal support and material aid to detainees, etc. In one particular wave of arrests ICE only kidnapped I think less than 10% of their target number and admitted themselves that it was because of popular resistance
Yes, the ICE operations were a clear predecessor to this and people really shouldn’t be as surprised as they are, but pretending that resistance to these fascist policies is smaller than it really is is nothing but demoralizing. It gives people the impression that it’s too late, that they’re all alone, that no one is standing with them in solidarity
But we’re fighting. We always have been, and we always will as long as injustice exists. And we need your help!

From Twitter.
is it weird that as i got through the tweet my understanding of it lessens?
If you had a recent ancestor who went through starvation it actually altered their genetics and may have passed down genes to you that make you hold on to fat. So this tweet is more accurate than you’d think.
More on that.
Seriously, my body is expecting the next ice age.
OH MY FUCKING GOD.
MY FUCKING GREAT GRANDFATHER LITERALLY FLED LEBANON DUE TO A FUCKING FAMINE AND MY GRANDMOTHER AND DAD AND I ARE ALL FAT AS FUCKING HELL.
FUCK ME RUNNING I DID NOT KNOW THIS.
…That’s going to apply also to anyone whose recent ancestors voluntarily dieted a lot, isn’t it. Diet culture long-term causes more obesity. Sure, it takes decades to show up, but anything you’d hear today about childhood obesity would reflect that. Exercising is still very good for most people, but trying to lose weight shouldn’t be the goal for most people, because a) it usually doesn’t work very well or it comes back and b) your kids or grandkids could end up with extra wonky metabolisms. (And while fat itself is actually not that much of a problem if you keep your fitness up, it can be hard on your joints. That’s actually the biggest health risk if you’re “small end of fat,” under 40, and active–joint problems.)
THAT MOTHERFUCKING ARTIFICIAL FAMINE THAT’S IT I’M GONNA FIGHT THE ENGLISH
Honestly, “I’m gonna fight the English” is a good reaction to a lot of things.
the ‘obesity epidemic’ in america is probably due to a combo of our grandparents living through the great depression and our parents being teens and young adults during the days of twiggy and heroin chic and the rise of diet culture.
combine that with the fact that gen x was the last generation allowed to play outside, pretty much, and the fact that everybody nowdays is working service jobs that exhaust them without working their muscles, and there is basically no way on earth you’re going to get a fit and healthy population without changing the basic structure of our society.
don’t fall for the hype. don’t focus on weight. it’s actually far more dangerous to be underweight than overweight. even with what is clinically defined as ‘morbid obesity’ it’s possible to be healthy as a horse, if your bone structure and metabolism are set up for it and you’ve got lots of muscle to support it.
on top of that, the charts for ideal weight are at least a generation out of date. they were compiled based on a population that didn’t regularly get enough dairy and fresh produce, at a time when girls didn’t do athletics in school. young women in the 1960′s were measurably smaller than young women today. their bones were thinner, they had less muscle mass, their shoulders were more sloped, they had a smaller lung capacity – society discouraged them from being physically active past the age of ten or twelve, and they finished their physical development in a sedentary setting.
boys were plenty active, but just like the girls, they were eating just about nothing but red meat and starch and some mushy greens with the vitamins boiled out. the thing where the poor get fat because sugar and fat are cheap wasn’t really happening yet, especially in rural areas; a farm kid’s diet was beef and wheat in the north, pork and corn in the south. “eat your vegetables” was such a hard sell because everything else was expensive and bland and overcooked. you’ve seen the godawful cookbook excerpts from that time. mushy green beans and fried spam on a bed of mashed potatoes, seasoned with nothing but a pinch of white pepper.
sorry, that was kind of a tangent. i guess my point is, even the people who ate well by the standards of the time were malnourished compared to the standard of today. your lunch of a matcha cucumber smoothie and a cobb salad with one ounce of ham, one ounce of turkey, and 15 kinds of fresh vegetable, would give them the explosive shits because they’ve never had that much fiber in one place before. there’s more vitamins and antioxidants in your black bean fajita dinner than they saw in a week.
so first of all, the idea of trying to be the same size and shape they were is absurd.
and second, if malnourishment in one generation primes the next two for protective fat retention, the combination of that and the incredible wealth of nutrition we have available to us today is obviously going to make us HYUGE.
instead of fighting it, we should embrace it. we could all be HUMAN BOULDERS OF MIGHT.
I know a number of gen z kids who are active, regularly exercise / do sports, and are mindful or careful about what they eat but who are considered overweight. They’re healthy kids. They’re strong and have energy. But they’re repeatedly criticized by parents and doctors alike for being “fat”. You wonder why so many kids have anxiety disorders? When you’re trying your best and are still told at every checkup that you need to stop eating junk food and sugar and lying on the couch watching tv because the doctor assumes that a kid living healthily couldn’t possibly be fat so that must be what you’re doing, it hurts. You feel like something is wrong with you. You internalize what you’re being told and it turns to feeling shameful, guilty, not good enough, messed up. I wish parents and doctors could wrap their brains around the fact that fat children can be healthy
I am 5'9", and for a solid portion of the last decade I was also 125lbs. It’s only in the last couple years that I’ve managed to put on a reasonable amount of weight. I’m between 180 and 190lbs right now, and very happy about it
When I was 125, not a single doctor was ever worried. I was constantly cold, stressed, and exhausted. I was literally always eating, and still could not gain anything. I was hungry all the time, but at the same time I would have given anything to just go to bed and sleep for days, because being chronically underweight does screwy things to your entire system
Now, a couple years into being an actual reasonable weight for my height, I’ve had a doctor, on our first visit, include ‘healthy eating and weight loss’ tips in my visit notes without even asking if I was happy at my weight. I am still mad about this. But also, I have so much more energy, I sleep better, I can actually regulate my own damn temperature, and I just over-all feel better
Eat the food, guys. The alternative isn’t worth it
Also, women who were pregnant in the 50′s and 60′s were ruthlessly exhorted to minimize weight gain during pregnancy, with doctors often demanding they gain only 15 pounds. In fact, if they were overweight before getting pregnant, their doctors might urge them to actually lose weight in early pregnancy. This led to a whole generation of babies who were undernourished during development, which studies have shown can lead to overweight in adults for two or three generations.
There’s a lot wrong with America but Jesus fucking Christ this is the royal cherry on the shitty sundae
He went there.
Well, one teacher is pissed.
Not pissed...
The teacher has provided a very thoughtful analysis of issues that must be addressed BEFORE we can SAFELY reopen PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
...proactive.
I’m just going to jump on here because this is my families reality at the moment. My mother is a high school theatre teacher and has been teaching for the last ~30 years.
One of the big things my state has been championing for going back to school is using larger rooms such as theaters, gyms, etc.
My mother’s Theater seats 120 people, which is on the bigger side for a public high school. Here is what that 6 feet apart looks like in the seats.Each white X marks a seat that cannot be used. The blue post-its are where they can.
16 seats. Out of 120. We measured the stage as well, to try and find room for kids to sit on-stage. 15 seats. This is one of the biggest rooms on the campus, not including the gym. 30 students, not including the teacher.
Average class size in her school before the pandemic started is 35 at the lowest. I’ve been in high school classes that range closer to 45.
There is an extremely confusing schedule still being hammered out that would involve class sizes being shrunk and finagled around, the semesters changed to quarters etc. etc. The expectation is that the teachers will sanitize their classrooms between the classes. Which is a pain, but teachers will absolutely do that. Good teachers go way above and beyond for their students.
And then the district told them that they have to provide their own PPE.
I live in a big city. You still can’t find good masks around here, gloves are in short supply. Hand sanitizer has finally been swooping back in, lysol wipes or anything like that are not. As of 7/8/2020, their union is still fighting tooth and nail for PPE to be provided. All while our Covid-19 cases continue to explode up.
I’m in California. She’s in a really good district, with decent funding and a great facility. We’re literally in one of the best-case scenario areas. I can’t imagine how the fuck these negotiations are going elsewhere, places with less funding in states run by fucking idiots.
Physically coming back to school is not feasible. There is no way without a lot of funding, that is not going to just magically appear, to keep students and teachers safe. Trying to do so with what we know now, with the preventative measures we have, with the funding the district has available, is going to end up killing people.
Do Not Vote For Kanye.
Okay Other people have talked about this but I’m gonna get it off my chest because why not.
So 2016, a not great election that has lead us where? here, the country is being fucked sidewise why a pandemic who’s rise is totally the fault of our shitty President, a President who likes Confederate flags and statues more than black lives. We can go on and on, but “how did it happen?”
as you can see Hillary Clinton won 3 million more votes than Trump. So what happened? the electoral college happened, Trump won 3 key states by a very small number of votes
Wisconsin: Trump won by 0.77%, write ins for “candidates” like Bernie Sanders or Harambe won 1.30% of the vote
Pennsylvania: Trump won by 0.72% write-ins won 1.06% of the vote
Michigan: Trump won by 0.23% put together write-ins and 3rd parties vote was over 5% of the vote
less than 100,000 votes in 3 states landed us in this hell, and many were people writing in jokes (Harambe) or just objections (Bernie Sanders) which brings us to:
Now it’d be bad given what we just reviewed to have any joke campaigns right now. However I suspect that this isn’t just a joke or West being his usual weirdo self, no I expect it’s a favor to Trump. Oh don’t you know? Trump and Kanye are pals
Here they are Kanye was one of the first meetings President-Elect Trump took after winning in 2016
Here’s Kanye wearing a MAGA hat with Trump in the Oval Office
don’t worry it’s a family affair:
Here’s Kanye’s Wife Kim Kardashian at a White House event between her friends First Daughter and Son-in-law Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
Now Kanye is saying he’s no longer in with Trump:
this is bullshit, no matter what Kanye does or doesn’t believe (and I think he’s lying) his “campaign” only helps Trump, if “Vote Kanye!” becomes a meme and people really write-in his name, particularly in key states, it came make all the difference. Don’t vote Kanye, don’t even joke about it, this is not a joke, it’s not funny, people are dying go vote Biden.
important!
I haven’t seen this on here so I thought I might share:
Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software. Companies that handle suc
The Honorable Lindsey Graham
There isn’t a petition for this yet (as far as I know) but sign the #JunkTerrorBillNow petition
Contacting your reps directly will do literally so much more than signing a petition, and it really doesn't take that much longer.
Just so you know, this isn’t partisan either, so don’t think you don’t have to act just cus you’re from a hard red or hard blue state. The bill’s current cosponsors include such notable names as D: Dianne Feinstein (CA) Dick Blumenthal (CT) Doug Jones (AL) Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) Dick Durbin (IL) R: Ted Cruz (TX) Josh Hawley (MO) Lindsey Graham (SC) Chuck Grassley (IA) And it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by unanimous approval. So make sure you call your reps and senators because everyone’s out to screw you right now.
Hey come work in this shithole country where the healthcare is subpar at best, the school budget comes from your own pay, and you’re expected to serve as the front line of defense should an assailant gun down the school because we have no gun legislation. What a sales pitch
America's biggest police forces lack legality.
