Me, knowing how in rural and small parts of Canada and the US (- heck, even in urban parts, how hard it is to get resources for Autistic and Neurodiverse people, but I digress-) and myself being ADHD/OCD, my husband Dyslexic, and my son Autistic: "SHOW ME THE RESOURCES! I SHOULD BE SWIMMING IN THEM!" hahaha :P But seriously, this is a problem for sure. It is why my family moved from rural small town Northeastern Ontario to a city of 200,000+ people.... :P

About the Baker's Dozen! It used to be illegal for bakers to state that their product was however many grams in weight and then undersell the weight. If they had 12 50g donuts, and they charged for that, and the package weighed any less than 600g, they'd get a whacking great fine. It was cheaper to just chuck an extra bun into each packet to be safe.
This is actually still a common practice in places. I used to work at a movie theater and we had orders of 5 chicken tenders. Most employees put 6 in just to ensure the customers didn't complain about a small one.

When the vaccine first came out and everyone was getting it, a woman at my job said, "I know ten people who got the vaccine and it gave them cancer!" My reply was, "You know ten people with cancer?" We did not work in a hospital or anything like that. That's a lot of friends with cancer!
thats crazy its like how my mom didnt vaccinate me as a kid(i was too young to remember, im vaccinated now) because it would give me autism jokes on you, mom, i was already autistic
At best, I could MAYBE see her being one of the first to portray class struggle in a children's/YA directed series, where poverty might be more sugarcoated, romanticized, or just plain not really touched on, but even then I'm pretty sure she isn't THE first.
I got stuck in a strongly conservative rabbithole. Because I'm young and impressionable, it changed my world view and made me transphobic and even a little bit homophobic. I recently realized how irrelevant, wierd and just incorrect the things i "learned" from the rightwinged american channels like PragerU and Ben Shapiro was. I stumbled upon The Click's channel and something with the non-political and nice feeling made me stay. That lead me to your content. I have used it to kind of "rehabilitate" from the hate I had. Thank you for explaining everything so that even I can understand!🙂
I went through a similar thing during the anti-SJW era of RU-vid. I held transphobic and homophobic views. I was very lucky to grow out of that phase. Character growth is a great thing.
I know that feeling. Years ago I used to watch all sorts of channels, when I was too young to form my own opinion or have enough thought about things. I thought “hm yeah this video says stuff in a high and mighty way, they must be right, like my parents” So I thought fatphobia wasn’t real, that furries were the scum of the earth, and that people who do “cringe” stuff online shouldn’t be allowed to live. Obviously now I’ve realized that, no, that’s just stupid. Honestly think I didn’t know I was on the trans spectrum for most my life due to that. But idk. I probably hid my special interest from myself and everyone due to the judgy tone of those videos too. So glad I don’t watch those awful videos anymore
The man who thinks women can just "turn off" bleeding like a tap... If he ever gets a cut his female coworkers should be like "You don't need a bandage for that, just TURN OFF THE BLEEDING like you think women can."
rep party has a lot of ignorance on biology apparently if a "true rape"- "we can shut that down" ( JUST NOT ovulate, "swallow a pill ends up in the vagina", "ectopic pregnancies can be reimplanted", ONLY sluts get abortions as birth control, NO complications non are wanted pregnancies and need them. facepalmsssss. on top of refusing any social programs and healthcare. sex ed is definitely lacking.. even what I learned in hs was severely lacking.. myth of virginity, functions and what things look like, that parts on both sexes can have varieties, plus the crass "grower or a shower" might help a lot more self conscious boys if they knew things are different and that's normal and ok. That we aren't always simply XX OR XY there are variations in that too. kids after me eventually got taught a lot more but a lot of push back like you see in the states "think of the children" smh. I learned a lot bc I have pcos and infertile and being curious about biology since before I could read. MDJ def helps a lot too.
The part that really burns me is that the guy tells women to "respect your male coworkers" when HE clearly has no respect for female workers, or he'd take the time to find out that his ideas of basic biology are insanely incorrect!
It annoys me so much when people with NO medical knowledge or experience as someone with the condition say “most people fake autism” do they know how difficult it is to get diagnosed with it, clearly not. “More resources” hell no people have to fight to get the bare minimum in support and accommodations. I am autistic myself and even in my very privileged position with a well off family and supporting parents we still had to fight to get schools to offer what they are legally REQUIRED to give. Luckily my mom is a former lawyer and former sped teacher so she knows her way around the the laws and regulations but we still had a hard time getting what I needed, it’s much more difficult for people without the resources I grew up with to get what they need.
it's really unfair as well because these people have no idea how many people are missed simply because most of the studies were done on little boys and therefore won't look exactly the same in little girls or older individuals. At least a few clinical autism centers in america do have statements saying they support self identification and they find it's actually rather accurate, including the university of washington. There are also experts who have worked with autistic people who can identify and explain how those who are afab generally present differently than those who are amab. My favorite source for this is the podcast episode with Dr. Donna Henderson as a guest called autism in girls and women (lack of inclusivity unfortunately) where she goes through the diagnostic criteria and what that may actually look like and how it has looked like in some of her clients. Generally the consensus is that unlike many other mental differences, disorders, illnesses, etc autism is pretty much exclusively diagnosed from it's external presentation based on the criteria, instead of the internal experience which anyone who's autistic will tell you, is a huge part of it. And generally, with girls the outer presentation is not always as stereotypical as with boys, and it's essential to get further insight into their inner experience to see how the differences really affect them.
I do recall reading from a reasonable source that bras that are too restrictive/fit very poorly in a way that creates pressure spots, increase the risk that lymph nodes get irritated or even inflamed. And that in turn can cause more serious issues, in some very few extreme cases cancer. That being said, it has to be excruciating to keep wearing such a bra for so long that it can pose serious risk. And not wearing any bras can cause a whole other array of issues, such as the chest becoming painful bc gravity and zero support. At the end of the day a bra that gives support while being comfortable to wear is simply what everyone deserves who wears bras! It's the best option both for their physical and mental health. I hope everyone finds their perfect fit ❤

Unfortunately, women and girls are losing their basic human rights of owning their own bodies now. So the number may go up again.anti abortion people are just anti-women.

The gap is definitely widening for women’s equality. We already can’t retire until we’re 100 while white and Asian men can retire before 65. I’m sick of it.
Ohio isn't really a word, it's a name. You could just make up a name like "Olo" and count that. But it should be an actual word, such as other have suggested: outdo, outro, overdo. Oreo is also a name and wouldn't count.

25:10 The cause seems to be people treating "millions" as the unit. Matt Parker did a video on it and basically these people's thought process is: Start with 21 million penguins / 6.6 million people Ignore the units -> 21/6.6 Round to a whole number -> 21/7 Calculate sum -> ~3 Add the units back -> ~3 million penguins People also do it a lot with money
My parents were those types of people that thought autism was a symptom of poor discipline and that as long as they didn't tolerate that "behavior" under their roof, it would somehow...magically go away?? Yeah no I still walk to the bathroom with trex arms. 😂 I've only become MORE tistic with age
The way the balloons don't only have the "D" and "A" letter issue but also "birhtay"...that person does not seem to have taken a second moment to look and think 😅
There are these types of questions all over the internet and usually the correct answer is B. Because they are usually framed around compounding results. So the "typical" option is, "Or would you rather $6 _doubled_ every month for _x_ time period." In this case, at 18 months you hit $1.5M. But a flat $6 per month... That's two drip coffees. Not exactly life changing.
Or $6 an hour whatever you're doing takes just under 20 years... though the value of $1,008 (weekly gain) in 2004 was very not the same as the value of $1,008 in 2024.
Huh, when I was at highschool we did a journalism study where is stated the origin of "News" was from North, East, West and South as the original "N.E.W.S publications boasted it was the only way to find out what was going on from every point of the compass. We didn't have internet available then - let alone google - to fact check what we were being taught, and when it was first widely available most information published online for the first 10 years or so was very rarely fact checked, so I always assumed that was correct.... you learn something new everyday.
Also "oregano". Admittedly, "oreo" is a brand name and "oregano" as well as the name "Orlando" are Italian. "Ohio" is from Ojibwe. It's not a pattern which would naturally occur in modern English words (at older stages of the language final vowels were much more common and this pattern occurred frequently), but it does appear in borrowed words and abbreviations which have become words.
3:15 as someone with autism and a sibling with higher needs, YOU DONT GET MORE RESOURCES. YOU GET LESSS. dude the medical system hates us. It’s not just a US problem either. I’m Canadian and I had to wait 5 years to get a diagnosis and then another 3 before I could get any semblance of support, and I’m considered lucky in that sense.
Frrrr for many insurance plans, the only autism "assistance" they provide is ABA therapy for children! Autism assistance and accomodations for adults are practically nonexistent and are rarely if ever covered by insurance. Heck, I've heard people having their coverage LOWERED upon recieving an autism diagnosis! Insurance companies see us as a liability that they don't want to take care of. The only care they provide is a pathetic ableist attempt at "treatment."
Yup, took us 5 years to get a diagnosis for my daughter. Supposedly she’ll get her services in “2-3 months”, but they say that every month. I can’t get services because I wasn’t diagnosed until 36 :/
yeah, I think the source of this misconception is when people already don't think most mental illness is real talk to anyone seeking a diagnosis for themselves or their child and ask why like it matters, the answer is always for access to services.
As someone with a toddler. I can say that the "Women lose their autism after pregnancy" thing is actually the opposite of what happens. Guess who was flying undiagnosed and under the radar Audhd until a baby completely screwed with my coping mechanisms??
A word that both begins & ends with O is obbligato. Adopted into English from the Italian, it's a term used in music. *Obbligato* marks a musical passage to be played/sung exactly as written, as opposed to a passage marked *ad libitum* , which may be played/sung freely, with variations or decorations applied as the performer wishes. There are probably other English words that begin & end with O, but that's the one that came to my mind. 33 years after I gave birth, I'm still autistic. So much for leaving it behind after pregnancy!
me (autism, Tourette’s, and gender dysphoria): damn triple homicide but also no way i’m letting someone with twitter blue tell me *i* am overdosing on modernity
That is the origin of the word, but the meaning is just a date on which an event took place in a previous year. Common usage also includes. I think a lot of people get stuck on word origin versus meaning. The word "fetus/foetus" originates from the Greek term for offspring, but in modern English it specifically refers to the gestational development phase between embryo and infant. I wouldn't call someone's 10 year old kid their fetus. Eight month birth celebration is the term I would use as a writer, but I also mostly ghostwrite memoirs, and if my subject used the word "birthday" or "anniversary," I wouldn't change it.
15:00 I've seen this tweet so many times and it bothers me so much because I use the word "Oregano" so much. Maybe it's because of where I live and what spices and herbs I use when I cook, but the fact that both the "no word starts and ends with O" tweet and the fact that the next person repeatedly fails the dictionary are wrong, it makes me feel good that this is on Confidently Incorrect.
17:35 Now that I had breast cancer I get so mad at people claiming "oh you know xyz causes cancer, right". Because most of the time none of these factors have ever played a role in my life and here you are still blaiming me for getting cancer. 😠
I know their math is wrong but the idea of all the penguins, from the rockhoppers to the emperors, all descending upon Ireland is hilarious! Hell, get puffins and auks involved too! Imagine an army of penguins at the Northern Ireland border… I wish this was a movie.
I have not gotten to this part of the video, but I'm autistic and currently 3 months pregnant. The first thing I told my OBGYN team is that I'm autistic and I'm likely going to give birth somewhere that I can walk around. They are so excited to help me through everything. Next week they are going to start me on talking to the autism counselor for the birthing center that I want to use. If there's problems I still have to go to a hospital, but the birthing center has a person who's sole job is to talk to autistic mothers and figure out what works best for their specific type of autism.
3:15... You know the person has no clue about anything when they think that falsely claiming something as autism is a "cope" for parents and more resources. Now if the person wanted to argue that as a society we over treat things and that a fair amount of people with autism can figure out ways to manage and cope without medical intervention then I might be able to see a point with that, much like how cancer numbers have not really risen but rather our detection for it has improved to a degree that people get treated for cancer when they could have lived the rest of their lives without the cancer causing any issues because we would rather be safe and treat things before they have a chance to become dangerous than just wait until it becomes dangerous and as a result some cancer treatments cause more harm than if the cancer had just been ignored because it would have stabilized on its own. That being said, I wasn't told that I have autism until just recently in my late 30s, in no way is the fact that both the Bmed doctor and my therapist in the same week after I attempted to take an extended nap a few days after someone tried to kill me for being trans said that I have autism a way for anyone to "cope" nor does it add resources to anything. The only thing being told that did was make a lot of things that I struggle with make a lot more sense and as a result make dealing with my struggles a lot less overwhelming and debilitating. It allows me to understand "hey here is why whenever I try to do this I end up getting so overwhelmed that I end up not being able to do it at all which in turn allows me to not get near as overwhelmed by it thus allowing me to at a much slower rate be able to do what prior would have never gotten done because of being overwhelmed by being overwhelmed by something that shouldn't be ovewhelming and thus being overwhelmed just amplifies on itself. In NO way does the hospital or my therapist make any more money off of telling me I have autism but it does allow me to work through things that never made sense to me but make a lot more sense now that I understand the mechanics as to the why. People who dismiss mental health issues really annoy me, in no way does having medical definitions so that people who do need help with working with the issues can get the help they need with insurance mean that any of it is a disability in itself (it very much can be for many people, but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong the definitions are there just to ensure that everyone who wants or needs help can have insurance cover it) but it still has to be classified as such in order so insurance will pay to help the person. I am a trans woman who has autism, there is nothing wrong with how my mind functions at all, nothing is broken and is just simply different; But it does make it hard to function 'normally' in society because my brain functions in a different way than what society is built for and because of that can be treated as a disability due to it impairing my ability to do certain things when it comes to interacting with people. Mental health as a whole needs to stop being looked at so taboo, mental health doesn't mean "broken" any more so than physical health issues, health is health and physical health impacts mental health and mental health impacts physical health, if one is hurting it directly mirrors onto the other because mental and physical are very intertwined.
23:43 Cause Cinderella didn't have any hardship and cheerfully took the step mother's abuse. Because Hanzel and Gretel's dad was doing SO well, being able to afford food and all, that he just cheerfully decided to lose his kids in the woods. And let's not forget cheery little Oliver, who while being poor never wanted for anything… and yet selfishly asked for more.
I was thinking… don’t class dynamics appear in the Bible? Something something easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven? I’ve never read the Bible feel free to correct me if I’m wrong
@@snowwyflake2398 You remember right, that's Jesus telling a rich man he needs to sell his possessions and give the money to the poor to go to Heaven. There's so, so much about poverty and hardship vs wealth throughout the Bible, and I'm confidently correct that the Bible predates Harry Potter.
Hahaha oh dear. I GOT autism after pregnancy and childbirth. Oh dear. (the changes I experienced in hormones and responsibilities stopped me from masking as effectively as I had before and suddenly a LOT of things made a lot more sense!)
I KNOW RITE? I mean, far, far from the first, but yeah, he kinda stands out for showing true deprivation; the Weasleys are the poorest main characters in HP I can think of, and they... some of Ron's complaints were legitimate, but for the most part his issue was (a) being in a big family and feeling overlooked and (b) being in a family that had to be careful with money. But food, shelter, warmth, clothing (uncool but functional), education, healthcare - he wasn't deprived of any of these.

I read Isaac Asimov a lot when I was younger, and one thing that I read in his autobiography was why he refused to talk to children. Here's why: One time in a classroom, a child asked him what the nearest star was, and he started talking about the Andromeda (I think?) star system being closest. Then the child said "I thought our sun was the closest star!" Made Asimov look the fool, and he almost lost his temper at the child! He never talked to children again!
11:35 To be fair, we've domesticated cows for their milk for so long that we probably have changed it to some extent for our purposes. So they're kind of right.
Modern dairy cows produce a lot more milk than modern beef cows, and some breeds have a lower percentage of fat - although because they're producing a bigger volume of milk it works out about the same in absolute quantity. But their calves are still reared on that milk and they grow and flourish, and if you have a beef cow whose calf has died and you get her to foster a dairy calf, the dairy calf will grow just as well as it would have on its own mother's milk. Really the only big difference between dairy breeds and beef breeds is that the dairy breeds produce a lot more milk and don't gain fat and muscle easily because they're putting the nutrients they eat into their milk, and because they produce so much milk, if they're not milked regularly they will get mastitis and probably die. The real adaptative evolution here has been in humans. Tribes that started domesticating cows and milking them would have done so as an extra source of high-quality protein, fat, and other nutrients for their babies and small children, but that put a strong selective pressure on their children to continue producing lactase for much longer in childhood, and eventually into adulthood. Hence that some humans now produce lactase through our whole lives, and we're the only mammals on the planet that do that! The other selective pressure has been applied to all humans that work with non-human animals, but particularly applies to livestock farmers, and that is to engage with animals as people - to see their personalities, wants, needs, fears, etc, and to respond to those as we would to a human's wants and needs. Animals that are healthy and happy are better at doing what they do for us, whether they're a hunting dog, a granary cat, or a milking cow, so humans who care for them as people are more successful, thus more 'fit' in evolutionary terms. Ironically, the people who are outraged by the 'exploitation' of animals are a direct result of this evolutionary pressure. They see animals as people with a right not to be exploited, but they've become too disconnected to see animals as people we can work with for mutual benefit.
If Shaun’s Harry Potter video is any standard to go by on ways the Harry Potter series is bad, then yeah the rich and poor disparity in the HP world did matter in that Harry was filthy rich from his parents and yet didn’t help the poor people Weasley’s at all despite them practically adopting him in everything but name. The Weasley’s could worry about losing their home and he would probably go “man it sucks for Ron’s family, hope they can get enough money to pay off their debts/bills and keep the house.”
Can't believe I'm engaging in a Harry Potter discussion in 2024, but Harry did want to help the Weasleys. They were just too proud to accept it. Now, if one wanted to debate whatever class prejudices may have been involved in the author's choice to write it that way, that's a whole different discussion.
Dozen is one of the oldest measures in recorded history. Baker’s dozens arose because there were really strict laws surrounding the sales of bread in England once upon a time and they were supposed to sell things by the dozen but also to have a specific amount by weight. Throwing in an extra would keep them in compliance with the law and spare them the substantial fines associated with noncompliance
I immediately thought of oregano - but I was cooking while watching this video. Also, don't feel too bad about 'oafishly' - I was doing training at work and the word 'underfed' came up - and I read it as 'un-derfed'. I was trying so hard to figure out what 'derfed' was until I finally searched the original word. Google told me it was similar to 'malnourished' - and I felt like the biggest fool. My coworkers mock me about it over a year later: we now use 'derf' as a verb: "Laci really derfed when she misread that word during training."
I was an epidemiologist for years, including through the entire pandemic. I now work in biological assay development. "COVID" is really just what came out when shortening "Coronaviridae". Not the first time they've shortened names of viruses to make them faster to say and easier to discuss (such as anthrax being short for Bacillus anthracis). The "19" is because it was a new strain that became known in 2019. However, the family of viruses that are the Coronaviridae have actually been known about for a while. As it is COVID-19, is "SARS-COV-2". The "2" is due to the fact that it is the second SARS-COV discovered, with the first one having been discovered in 2003.
The Tale of Genji was written literally 1000 years ago and is about the relationships between people of different classes and the difficulties of trying to move upward through class hierarchy. That's just off the top of my head.

My hottest take regarding the bible and pronouns is that, since "He/Him" specifically always capitalized is not a standard or widely used pronoun set in english, God technically uses neopronouns.
English IS a pronoun-obligatory language, and shoves pronouns into sentences they weren't there when translating (and the Bible wasn't originally in English...)
@@adrianblake8876 Then I guess people who say they have a problem with pronouns oughta renounce English as a whole, and never speak such a woke language ever again 🙃
@@snr0n English people have a problem with pronouns because third person pronouns are the bulk of English's gender system. If you brought up the Bible, imagine that "Thou shalt not kill" was a gendered statement, and people would bring that up as an argument against trying to "coerce" gender-neutral language whenever possible (And, yes, this is basically the arguments they have where I live)...
@@adrianblake8876 I can assure you pronouns were there in other versions too, they're just different pronouns because language. P.s: I might be just dumb, i read some of it in a language which seems to be the source language? but the internet might have fooled me. Anyways in a lot of languages there are pronouns including greek, which I'm pretty sure is the source language?
@@nitzanshu4695 First, I didn't say there aren't ANY pronouns (all languages have pronouns, duh), I said the English version ADDS pronouns (non biblical example, Spanish "eso es" become's "that's it" in English. Spanish has no pronouns in the sentence, English has two) Second, the original version of the Bible is Hebrew, not Greek. Greek was one of the very first translations.
4:14 Fun fact, some acronyms become so normal as words that they lose the capitalization you usually see with abbreviations! Laser and scuba are maybe the most oft-used examples. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus Laser has been so integrated into the ranks of "normal words" that it's not only lost the acronym-type all-caps spelling, but it's even been backformed to other words like the verb "lase" for when something's emitting light that's coherent like a laser beam. Because "laser" kinda looks like one of those verb + er words,* so of course we needed a verb to match it! And the verb even works just like you'd expect it to :D But yeah "news" is not one of those words it's just a noun that means new things lmao (it also has some interesting features though like you can't put it into singular, it looks like a plural noun but it's non-count and right now I'm too lazy to dig into why or how that happened) *Obligatory "Laser?

It's the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere that becomes problematic for human civilization.

About that book post, here's one. The Boxcar Children, a book about HOMELESS children solving mysteries, *first published in 1924!* 🤣🤣 Was my fave book series that got me into writing.
The 700k in pennies thing made me laugh because if im ever bagging up change to take to the bank, i always have a momentary existential crisis about whether its 100 pennies in £1, or 60 (as in 60 seconds in a minute) 😂🙈
5:11 I did the math here: $1,000,000 / $6 each month = 166,666.667 months 166,666.667 months / 12 months = 13,888.888 So it would take almost 14,000 years of $6 monthly payments for this person to see their million dollars, yet they’re online trying to give financial advice to others. SMH.
(9:10) The amount of people who use "hunting" for gathering or similar. Even Wikipedia uses "Mushroom hunting" despite it not being what it's called, at least not commonly outside of USA (although USA and Wikipedia are making it more popular)
