Another self absorbed American consumer obsessed with gaining power and influence over others, but doing it under the guise of artistry and craftsmanship so convincingly that at times, even he is confident in his own bullshit- sitting here criticizing a person, place, or idea that lended a majority of the credibilty and network that feeds him today. Ironically, criticism is now more relevant and marketable so he capitalizes on that instead. "The rich" in New York? Give me a fucking break. Casually name dropping industry connections, rolling around in a vintage car and workwear as a costume, the casual bi-coastal lifestyle among countless other things- at least if you're gonna be a hipster have the decency and honesty to be genuine about it
People he dosent read the comments ..he has said this in a later video he made.....hes a pompus jackass.....he only cares about people who pay him actual cash.....nothing more.... Typical snob.....i wish i could go on an explain, but if you dont kickstarter patreon or pay him in some way your a nothing to him....
I enjoy all of your content so don’t stop making it but I only enjoy it because you find the worst solutions to your problems but execute them well with great cinematography… it’s like a beautiful painter painting something really ugly.
Sounds like you have "Creative Immersion Syndrome" (CIS) When someone taps into their creative passion, it can become a consuming focus that defines their identity. Initially liberating and fulfilling, this singular pursuit can lead to pressures such as fear of failure, burnout, and isolation, blurring the line between passion and obsession. As individuals become engrossed in their creative processes, they may struggle with self-doubt and the tension between personal expression and external expectations, ultimately requiring a balance to maintain both creativity and overall well-being.
I have a lot of this in my Mirage. Only exceptions Hot sauce Seasoning packets for those hard days Extra change of clothes for cold or rainy sudden days. Brake pad fluid Full size 160 pc kit
If you’re a casual diy’er, get Hercules or Bauer tools from Harbor Freight. People might give me shit but I don’t care. Entirely good enough tools with high quality batteries at descent prices. And they’re actually not cheap, but you just don’t pay for the ‘brand’ as you do for the ones mentioned here. For corded, buy whatever is available and decently priced, no brand loyalty needed there.
I think there's a stigma around criticising the magic (or lack thereof) with NYC and I'm glad this video is here to provide the alternative view... I've only ever visited NYC as a tourist, but it was such a far cry from what I expected when I considered the rhetoric that's thrown around about how incredible it is. It's so complicated, but I've never loved and hated somewhere so much in my life. There is an aura and a vibe to the place that is unmatched, and the scenery around (particularly) Manhattan and Brooklyn is stunning... But it is such an expensive, intense, wild, overwhelming experience that it is a total sensory overload. I find myself not wanting to go back to NYC but also reluctant to want to say it out loud because I would love to go back one day. Once you travel to some of the world's great cities, it's very apparent that NYC is NOT the greatest city in the world. Not even close. But it's unabashedly itself and makes no apologies for it - which gives it its own sense of "greatness".
Why do i get that were on a major precipice with the upcoming election? Flashback to 2016 and you can see it's something that was meant to take place but it somehow turned into a well needed lesson and also a detour meant to shake us out our boots. Yet here we are yet again right back where we are being asked if we will unite and make necessary changes with changing modern times or repeat same lesson of o' glory times? You can also see what has happened to such individuals who decided to go against what the people majority wanted and their outcome has been nothing less than an embarassment! Can you say Russlia? What about Pooutin? Does that ring a bell? If not look back to such times individuals who thought taking things by force would end in victory. Ugh NO! Unfortunately, i do not see this uniting political sides but more opposition but I believe it is likely to turn positive if we can see ourselves through forward movement and not remain in stagnant repetitive outdated views decisions. We can't go back on time when the clock progresses with forward movement! But by all means take a look at what happens when individuals want to regress or want to delight in good old times that have long ago passed on and are over with! Obviously we can sense who is in reflections of passed on times, which is not really meat to bring forth improvement nor movement forward but channels old era's gone by which in terminology is called oppression whether you care to admit it or not! It seems that some have taken on such old glory days as precursor to what to look forward to and if you have been paying attention should scare you to your core! Example: 1984 by George Orwell 🫢🫠🙃😳🤯🥵🫡😶😵💫
Rebels with a cause. ❤ The fact that you even made an adorable stop motion demonstration and fake authorization with coffee stains. This playground has been hit by a smooth criminal repairman. 😂❤
@1:13 I live in Brazil, and here most houses are made of cement and bricks, which requires us to have powerful drills to make holes in the walls, and that's why I opted for a 20V cordless drill. I agree they are heavy, but they are the only ones that do the job.
My uniform is cotton or canvas Taylor Stitch chinos or APC selvedge denim, Oxford button down shirts, long sleeve or v neck short sleeve American Giant slub cotton T-shirts, Gustin Italian leather sneakers or Alden boots. Rain jacket from Relwen, warm stuff from Patagonia (repair and replace for free for life). Persol sunglasses with glass lenses so they are almost impossible to scratch. Buy stuff that is designed to last your lifetime. Take care of it. Almost all of the above has lifetime warranty/can be repaired. Glad to know I’m not alone in customizing and repairing my clothes.
lol I'm perpetually 15 minutes early its the person i am... the amount of people apogamies to me for being late 5 minutes before meet up time is mind boggling like your not late... now this also means late people piss me off good after like 5 minutes after.
So much love in this video, that was met with so much hate. Thank you Van for doing the right thing when we live in an era where right is labeled wrong and vice versa. Walking the straight and narrow is not without adversity.
This is my moment. I am a huge fan of Van. Never in a million years would I have thought that something I created would end up in a van video. That photo of 3200 Santa Maria listed by drew was photographed by me. How cool to see my own work inside of a video of one of my favorite creators.
I don't care what they do in the restoration process of these beloved Toyotas, but for the love of everything holy, stop putting LS engines in EVERYTHING! There is no kaizen process for putting an LS in a Toyota! If you want your kids and grandkids to drive it, leave it diesel. I don't care if it only goes 35MPH uphill...if they are on a 2 lane road, they shouldn't be in a hurry anyway. That's what the freeway is for.. The 2 lane is to get your blood pressure and pulse back in normal limits after the freeway run.
i love that this fellow is so passionate about this but i think we can all probably guess what “best” in best society was referring to from an insanely rich white american lady in 1922….. and then you have to think about how the human relationship to time was changed by colonialism, industrialism, and capitalism - all of which are relatively new concepts - and question whether this new concept of Time is even human nature at all?
I can only imagine what their parents did to them to make them believe everyone found everything they did interesting. They’re so confident that people care that other people think they’re supposed to care
I bought my carhart jacket on clearance at a gas station feed store in rural Montana almost a decade ago... I have abused that jacket almost every day since and have no plans to replace although we are almost getting to the repair phase of its existence... I often dawn this jacket if walking around the city after midnight. I don't feel like a mark when i do this as everyone knows a working man doesn't have much to steal and wouldn't part with it easily anyway!
pro tip for getting the clamp on the non-vice grip version: put the clamp on the sledge handle. This will hold the clamp still so you can manipulate the lamp and wingnut with your now feed hands.
My girlfriend’s dad has one of these from around 2000, every now and then he asks me to help him out when he’s fixing or replacing all sorts of different parts and I think cars that need the TLC that these do to perform at their best does a lot to make one spirited, sharing that with someone from time to time helps build relationships too in my opinion
