Why are so many of these “Is it okay that I psychologically abuse my child anytime they show even a glimmer of autonomy?” I feel like I’m losing my grip on my sanity
Yeah my mom used to take away my bedroom door as a punishment. Always for really dumb things, too. Once, when I was 15, we got in an argument because I didn't do the dishes immediately when she asked me to because I was fcking exhausted, so I didn't get to have a bedroom door for 3 months. It took me years to realize how effed up the concept of "If my child has the audacity to argue with me, I take away their right to basic privacy" was.
I do like the response by the Quora user where they said that the mother should try taking off their own room's door if they plan on removing their child's door. Even though I think kids should have privacy, I can at least admit though that would at least fairplay if the parents are holding themselves to the same standards as their child.
My son was conceived about two months after my husband and I both had COVID, and he definitely looks very Asian. My husband is Chinese, but after seeing this video I know that it's because we had COVID which has altered our DNA to become more Asian, thanks for a great educational video, Click!
This is everybody's weekly warning to read everything carefully. Because then there are things like this comment, which confuse you for a second and then hit you exactly in the crotch while playing the harmonica terribly.
Even if child predators did have higher IQs, it wouldn't matter because they are seriously harming a child. "I may have caused a child lifelong trauma but I am smarter than average" is not a valid excuse.
If they make the conscious decision to prey on a child, then they are all seriously stupid. Therefore having a high IQ doesn't mean you'll use your head.
Yes. That post was really weird though, it almost seems as if the person posting would have been ok with it had it not been behind her back, which is just insane.
I love the skydiving baby question. I brought it to church. The consensus was: "Hey, you know how you always said that there's no wrong way to share the Gospel? Well, we've found it. This is the wrong way." Why are you skydiving with a baby? Why can it speak? Why can you HEAR it while skydiving? It must be possessed. By the time I landed, I'd be Father Karras, hat and all. ...Also, it's just an appeal to force. "Convert or I will drop this baby in the fire" ain't much different. "Convert or we kill you," etc. So no, even if you were skydiving with a christian baby and he spoke to you like that, it would be bad. And Jesus would disapprove.
Entertaining the strange premise for a second... The baby not pulling it's parachute would be suicide, instant ticket to hell! How christian is this baby really?
I would probably lie about converting to save a baby from being tossed into a fire. If the baby is instead saying that they'll toss themselves if I don't, I'm gonna just laugh and watch (most likely)
@@mistahbeardo An excellent point! If I were in this totally absolutely realistic situation, I'd probably say, "I'll tell you what kid... Since I'm an adult and you're a baby, I'm gonna just ignore your nonsense, deploy your parachute and save both our lives! You're welcome."
Some Christians just do not understand that not every belief system requires you to die before lying about your religious beliefs. I cannot imagine how sheltered you would have to be to write this question in earnest.
the way they go after darwin instead of the actual ideas behind evolution says a lot about how they see the process of gaining knowledge. for them, it comes from a person, a leader, not investigation and evidence and experimentation.
@@chrisinnes2128 yeah, true. it's interesting how that betray's their true feelings about the baseline value of presuppositional religious beliefs when compared to something that can by fully demonstrated. They know that faith is not a reliable path to truth, so they defend their own flawed faith-based beliefs by accusing others of also having a equally flawed beliefs. it's very much the same thing idea as going after darwin in response to someone going after jesus.
As a British person, allow me to explain the accent thing. We have a switch on the back of our necks, when we are out in public we set the switch to "on". When we get home we switch it "off". There are four different versions, the "English Version", the "Scottish Version", the "Welsh Version" and the "Irish Version". We also have a tea-filled power pack embedded in our spinal cord that powers our "accent voice box". Hope this helps any people confused about the accents. You are welcome.
@@kyrahdragoness why would they drink so much tea if not to refill the tea power pack? That's how they keep it working. If you take away the tea from the british long enough they lose the accent completely until they refill.
Reminder for my fellow Brits to get a cup of tea if you're feeling your accent glitch out! I saw this and it reminded me of when I sounded normal at work, it was so embarrassing. I'd been in a rush and totally forgot to drink tea before I left the house.
as someone who's highly allergic to cats, and is dating a cat person, i can ASSURE you i would NEVER give them that ultimatum! i'll take allergy meds every day if i must, but i will not compromise our relationship over a pet, nor will i compromise that poor pet's family life by forcing them to be abandoned!
Same, my partner has always had cats. I get skin allergies to them, big, rupturing sores, occasionally. I like cats, and they like me. I wouldn't keep a pet greater than a mouse in the wall, if it were up to me. I knew entirely too many animal hoarders growing up. But it's the price of admission, so 🤷♂️
having a "safe room" for yourself in the house can help. If your partner doesn't consent to that, then I think that's grounds for proclaiming the pet owner problematic.
@@The1nvisibleJeevas that's also very smart, but sadly can only help so much, the best thing to do is to make sure to clean up cat hair often or have hairless cats in my case, because my allergies are related to the cat's saliva which is often on their fur since they clean themselves often, and that's what causes my allergies, but there have also been studies suggesting i could get used to the cats and maybe the allergy could tone itself down, which is what im hoping for as a best case scenario XD
@@julsdemers4740 that happened to me- pretty allergic to cats but ended up living with two (at different points). Got used to the first one in like 3 months, 2nd one took half a year. Currently fostering another cat and I barely react to him. So yes, best case scenario is that your body stops reacting to the kitty. Fingers crossed for you!
@@Varzio thank you! i hope it works for me! especially because cats seem to love me XD my distant family members have cats and the cats always come to me for cuddles XD
As a biologist, I am genuinely unable to watch these beginning questions without cringing so hard my eyeballs feel like they may just roll out of my skull and go on a 2 month vacation to the galapagos to destress.
Same! I even have a pet beagle named Darwin, who has been known to roll in poop and eat shoes, and I can honestly say he is smarter than the dullard who wrote those posts.
IQ is also regarded as pseudoscience these days. There isn’t really a metric for measuring overall intelligence that has been approved by the current psychology community
Agreed. Afaik IQ is only pattern recognition and memory retainment. You know who else is great at pattern recognition? Autistic people. Not saying one always equals the other, but I fell through the system being labeled "gifted" when I should have had an autism evaluation.
I liked it when Adam Ruins Everything pointed out that IQ tests were made for little kids. So next time someone goes "my IQ is..." I feel like the proper response is, "So you didn't score perfect on a test made for kids?"
The first step would be defining intelligence, which no one has really been able to do in a concrete manner. It's one of those things that *feels* simple and obvious when you say it, because everyone knows people that are smarter or dumber than one another, but falls apart if you try to examine the idea.
I think that saying IQ is a pseudoscience is potentially misleading (I study psych and neuroscience so this opinion is informed my my studies but please correct me if I get anything wrong). IQ (usually referring to the same concept as general intelligence) is something that is still taught about and mentioned in universities, but not in the manner it is usually discussed in non-academic spaces. There is evidence that when we measure IQ we are measuring **something ** real. We know it has a heritability of 0.8 and can predict certain metrics like academic performance and job success for example. To the best of my knowledge it is still being debated what general intelligence actually is (for example as @saraotto9593 said, some suggestions are factors affecting long and short term memory) and there are proposals for other ways of viewing intelligence like Gardner's theory. But the idea of general intelligence is still discussed. There are 2 parts of general intelligence: crystallized and fluid. Crystallized is all your knowledge and fluid is your ability to reason and manipulate information. What fluid intelligence actually is is debated and researched (I wrote an essay on it last sem). It might be working memory, ability to retrieve information from long term memory, and attentional control and stuff like that. And to the best of my knowledge, classic IQ tests are probably not great measures of general intelligence and have predictive power because they are measuring some mental abilities linked to intelligence like memory and verbal reasoning. But my point is that the studies of general intelligence (which is usually referenced as IQ colloquially) are still pursued as lines of scientific inquiry, its just that we recognize more flaws with certain older theories and especially with classic IQ tests now.
If you're a vegan and won't feed your pets meat: get a rabbit! You can get them cat sized if you want, they can be very affectionate, and a vegan diet is perfect for them.
My family used to have rabbits, and one of them was definitely not a vegan. It tried to eat our chickens (AND OUR GUESTS!!!) multiple times and succeeded in ripping flesh off one chickens head before my parents dumped it in the woods out of fear. He's probably out there hunting foxes or something. RIP Raven. Edit: it was violent and we couldn’t keep it because it was hurting other animals and people. Not Monty Python rabbit levels, but same vibe. My parents didn’t know it wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild, but honestly it could have very well done so because we kept them in our large backyard where they would dig tunnels all the time and forage through the ferns.
I mean you are totally right, not disagreeing at all, but rabbits (especially hare) can be pretty aggressive animals too and will eat meat if given the chance, they can be rough .or
as an American I can confirm, like three months ago Lays (yes the chip company) tried to sue a native farmer for growing the same potato's that are used to make Lays potato chips. yes, we live in a country where a mega corporation can sue small native farmers for growing food.
In the US you can sue anyone for any reason. Having any success with that is a completely different story - being laughed out of the court is a distinct possibility. Lays should make silicon chips instead, then no potato farmer could get in their way …
@@advorak8529 nope, genetics for crops are copyrightable. yes, its as dystopian as it sounds thats why farmers in haiti (i think this is the right place?) burned all the seeds given to them as recourse after the earthquakes, because then it would absolutely ruin ALL of their farms its also why you cant just grow your own seeds here in the usa, because if you grow them and sell the product, the seed could have been pollinated by a lays/monsanto crop and by proxy growing the plants without buying it from the company.
@@fordalelsso you’re saying it _may_ be illegal to *grow your own food* in the States? Growing *potatoes* so you can boil them, mash them, or put them in a stew can land you a court case?! *BECAUSE A BUG DECIDED TO DO BUG THINGS?!?!* This doesn’t sound even remotely accurate. My heart goes out to the Americans reading this if it’s accurate, your country is well-beyond help. Even if it’s not true you still live in a hapless land, best of luck y’all.
To answer the diet question; NO never put a kid on a strict diet! Kids should not be taught to be ashamed of their bodies or the food that they eat. What parents should do is model good eating habits and make sure the food kids have access to are nutritious and satisfying. There is a book called “Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works” that has a lot of great tools for helping people heal their relationship with food and also has advice on how to set kids up for success.
My aunt told my parents the other day that if they're mad about the kids eating so much junk food, they should stop buying it so they're forced to get healthier snacks when bored. You know. Very basic advice. ...They were badmouthing her on the way back home 🤦
never put a kid on a strict diet!* *Other health issues not included in this claim lol, probably follow a diet plan with allergies, diabetes, or anything cause unusual apatite. Obviously, people.
@@dougmarshall1267I'd absolutely watch a cat cam episode with either only the cat cam or an empty chair or cat in the chair and a topic a cat would pick. Plus it'd mean we'd get to hear him do a cat voice to seem like the cat is talking, which would be so funny...
24:00 While the question about the black cats is... questionable. Yes. Yes Europeans DID black cats dirty. As in cats in itself were considered creatures of Satan by the church and whenever something like famine or a plague ran through, they often hadn't anything better to do than to drown all the cats they could find - especially black ones. You know... the cats, that hunted the pests that ... brought famine and disease... To cite Simon Whistler "The past was the worst." - to cite me, a bit of a history nerd and Larper: "The past is a nice place for a vacation - but you certainly don't want to live there."
actually, in the UK, black cats were considered to be good luck, and white cats were bad luck, it was swapped over when the superstitions entered the United States, so if anything (white) Americans did them dirty and are still doing them dirty, considering many black cats still get ditched by their owners and people are less likely to adopt black cats (I'll take all of them tbh, I love black cats)
I'd like to add that some animal shelters have even started to not let anyone adopt a black cat right before Halloween because there are still people now that literally adopt black cats to brutally k!ll and sacrifice them. So while yes, Europeans DID them dirty, especially during the witch hunting, some of them still ARE.
I have one black cat (I once had two, but sadly I had to give one away) and they are truly amazing. He's so cuddly and surely no bad luck. Sorry, I just wanted to talk about my cat 😂
Honestly, I'd like to see how that goes. Like, almost willing to pay to see how that goes. And maybe take bets whether the judge facepalms first or laughs first.
Black cats were seen as bad luck in medieval times. There were cases (and drawings) of them putting cats on trial for witchcraft. They would also torture them. There is description of torture via putting two cats in a bag and tying it up and striking it to get the cats to bite and claw each other as they try to escape.
@@lotsofpeople8503 - I have heard of some places not selling black cats but its around Halloween, for that reason. They would sell black cats test of the year.
27:30 I have to wonder how strict that E rating is. Cause if it's strictly E, that poor kid can't even play Minecraft, which is at E10+, for kids aged 10 and older. Although, I suppose it's also considered violent, so that would go against another rule. So this 16 year old boy can't even play Minecraft. Poor kid.
Yikes, that's something I didn't think of! Hopefully the parent doesn't know the differences or the kids can play any game with the letter "E" on it. My mom is very religious and was quite strict on us when we were kids. Despite that she did give us more freedom than a lot of these other Christian parents, including many in her church. We were able to play games that were a little violent, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Zelda, etc. But, this was back in the 90s so ratings weren't a thing and video games were still new and options were limited. She didn't allow us to play games like Mortal Kombat. Fortunately my siblings and I didn't like those kinds of games anyways.
It's just RU-vidr young earth creationists like Ray'n'Kirk, Matt Powell, James Tour, etc etc. There's a lot of overlap with YEC and flat earth, believe it or not 😂 and DO NOT get me started on Spirit Science, CC, and Barnabas Nagy. (Don't watch their crap, hateviews are still views)
Reminds me of the pastor who was going on about how he “learned how to logic” and “we live in a school[?!] where everything is just fill in the blank, fill in the blank”.

21:43 By realizing that, as a cashier, you both work jobs that don't pay as much as they should, and thus ARE equals. Treat your coworkers with respect, and as equals, regardless of age, race, or anything else like that.

I can’t think of a reasonable self-defense case for forced-coupling with a home invader. Like, I’m having trouble thinking of non-supernatural reasons that might make it necessary.

I've read about a case where a lawyer did bring a gun into the MRI room, and he did get shot by it. He never did sue anyone, though, but that's because he died.
If you're talking about the case I'm thinking about, it's absolutely funny. Because the entire point was that you couldn't kill someone with that gun, lol

The one with the 17 year old daughter getting pregnant by her father is fake because I've seen it before and someone answered it after looking at countless other contradictory fake questions made by the same account 😂
Yeah I also recognize the "I'm na 68 year old man and an 18 year old coworker is treating me like an equal" one, I saw it a couple years ago, was going to leave an angry reply, but I looked at his page and his other questions were claiming to be varying ages and careers and just all rage bait. I recognize most of these as popping up on my Quora, I stopped using it because almost every question is totally fake troll posts.
Might be bait, sure, but you just know, with the way the world is, that someone, somewhere, is dealing with that exact situation. I prefer to err on the side of compassion in those cases, because it just might be real.
Exactly, the IQ test was invented by a eugenicist to try and prove that some people are born superior to others. But they really just made a pattern recognition test lol
As a British person, I can indeed confirm that we all lose our 'British' accent when alone (or with close family) at home. Our real accent sounds a little like clipped Spanglish spoken under water. But this is a fact that all native British people are sworn to keep secret, or face charges for treason, which will result in a very public beheading ... Yikes 😬
When I got an MRI the tech asked if I had any metal on or in me and demonstrated with her name tag why that was important to know. She clipped the tag to her pocket (clip was metal), stood a few feet away, then her assistant turned on the machine. The tag flew off her pocket and stuck to the machine. I made triple sure there was nothing metal on me.

I had my IQ tested in 5th grade. It was in the mid 140s. But...I'm also dumb as a box of rocks. As my grandmother used to tell me I had all the common sense God gave a doorknob. IQ is a meaningless number. Should add this was a legitimate proctored test in my school.
I knew a guy who always bragged about his high IQ. He always talked about the novel he was going to write, the scholarly papers he was going to publish, the plans he was going to fulfil to get rich, the house he was going to design, the businesses he was going to start - couldn't finish a thing to save his life. He ran a pizza parlor...badly.
As someone who tested in the same range in high school, I can confirm it's a useless method for determining someone's smartness. IQ measures one's ability to think logically and problem solve, but that doesn't mean you're smarter than anyone else. I have known really clever people with a low to "normal" IQ and a TON of idiots with a supposedly high IQ. That shit don't mean shit. 😂

Taking IQ tests is a skill that can be improved with practice. If you study for a standardized test, you will do better on a standardized test. People who have only their high IQ score going for them act like it's an immutable trait that determines their entire worth as an individual. Something that's clearly disproven by the person in that example.

15:55 Unless he's allergic, divorce him. If he's allergic, try to choose. I won't be mad either way, because in one case, you're staying with a man who makes you happy, and you're protecting him from death by allergy to fluffball, an unfortunate demise, while in the other case, you stay with your best friend, the animal who got you through so much for the last twelve years. But still, if he's not allergic, divorce him. If he has no health-based reason to give this ultimatum, that isn't a healthy relationship, as he likely feel jealous of the attention you give your cat, and may try to make you cut out your friends, too. This advice goes to anyone reading this comment.
So, fun fact: an intruder who tried to rob a store was, in fact, tied up and held hostage for days in the back room while the cashier um, r worded them repeatedly. It happened. So, not really surprised that it's an actual question on Quora....
Yes, I read about this. It happened in Russia. A guy broke into a hairdresser/beauty shop and the owner subdued him then tied him in the back of the business and force fed him viagra and 'used' him for three or four days before she called the cops to arrest him for breaking and entering. Don't know what happened after that though.

Fun fact. People have smuggled their guns into MRI scans because "freedumb". I can't remember if the results were fatal or merely serious injury. Addition to original post. I suspect the religious conservative parents of the 16-year-old son will be able to stop worrying in about two years when he reaches legal adulthood, and can move out/cut them off. At least that's my hope for him.
They even said he wouldn't be allowed to date until he was 25! I also hope he moves out at 18, as he'll be a legal adult. My religious mom was strict on us growing up, but nowhere near as bad as a lot of these ones.
19:20 The best way to answer the question about weight or hard drive with or without data is an analogy. Imagine a book. It has decent weight to it, doesn't it? Now imagine the same book - same cover materials, same paper, same number of pages but all pages are blank. How much does it weight? Technically the filled book will be a bit heavier due to ink used to print. But the amount added is wildly insignificant compared to the weight of the blank book. So they basically weigh the same.
Happy New Year Click!! I'm a vegetarian and have been for at least 15 years. My dog gets a meat based diet, bones and healthy treats. But she also gets veggies and fruits just because she likes them. It's important to me that she's getting the best diet possible for her health and welbeing. My guinea pigs on the other hand do get a herbivore diet because that's best for them.
I used to be a vet tech decades ago, I had to put starved kitten down, because its vegan mom thought she can just give her scraps to this poor kitten. We really tried to save it, but it was too far gone, we were too late. We always tried to inform & educate, never judge or yell, but damn.. that was one really difficult interaction to hold my emotions thru. Only thing I could held on was at least she didnt do this on purpose, just out of ignorance, and now this poor souls suffering is done. I cried in the surgery room later. Out loud. Not my fave memory.
@@janemiettinen5176I've seen so many people think this way. Like cats CANNOT live on an herbivore diet. Even dogs, while they're omnivores still benefit from having a balanced diet with meat. (And they're only omnivores because of humans. It's one of the signs of theor domestication.The wolves they come from are obligated carnivores, just like cats.
@@janemiettinen5176 Gosh that's awful! It's hard to believe that people could be so ignorant. The way I see it, I can make an informed choice to eat a vegetarian diet my dog can't. As an owner, it's up to me to make sure she's healthy. That said, my podiatrist's dog has some weird condition and can't eat meat. He spent a fortune going to a dog nutritionist to make sure the dog can eat a healthy balanced meat-free diet.
Dogs are omnivores. They can eat the veggies and fruits! Cats can't. I'm a vegetarian, my cat only eats meat. But for dogs a diet that includes a bit of everything with a large part meat is great. Big fan of people who raw feed as well, would love to do that for my cat but meat for human consumption is so expensive.
My dog is allergic to beef and chicken, and that is why his vet recommended we start feeding him a plant-based diet, but he did so well on it that we feed it to our other dog too. He is 8 now and healthy as ever. Bramble was a border-collie who ate only a plant-based diet, and she lived to be 25. The idea that dogs can't eat healthy on a plant-based diet is a myth. Please just look into it yourself. Animal proteins are the most common food allergies for dogs, so if you are having allergy problems, switching to any of the several vet recommended plant-based diets could be worth a try (certainly cheaper to try than paying for the allergy tests to know what proteins to avoid, which I can personally attest cost almost $800 after all was said and done.)
19:44 One of my coworkers asked me something similar once. Her son wanted to play minecraft and she didn't know if it was safe for kids so she asked me.

As a previous vegan, my cat and dog always had a meat based kibble that is more sustainably farmed than normal kibble. And then cut down on some meat by giving them vegetarian treats (like catnip and wheatgrass for the kitty). Take care of your pets. Or get a vegan pet like a rabbit cause dang
Wait I didn't know you had two fluff boys! It's always so heartwarming to see men enjoy having cat companions. Because it drives manly man insane. And they're usually more pleasant to be around. Maybe that's why I keep coming back. This marketing works too well.
😂 I wish RU-vid allowed pictures. My husband carries our new kitten around like a baby, and the kitten - who is FULLY bonded to my husband - thinks it’s the best thing ever.

I would like to add something about the evolution discussions. Misconceptions about evolution are EXTREMELY common, even among people who accept the theory. I still had many misconceptions after my high school biology class, even though we learned it decently well. My biology and ecology classes in college had to spend so much time getting us to understand how it actually works. The main issues have to do with thinking of humans as being “more complex” than other organisms, thinking DNA is like computer code (it really isn’t), thinking that evolution has a specific direction or goal in mind, thinking that evolution by natural selection is the only type of evolution, and thinking that evolution can only happen on a long time scale. While the very basics of evolution aren’t necessarily hard for most people to understand, many people think they understand it a lot better than they actually do.
OTOH some people don't even understand the fundamentals of what evolution is and have no desire to learn. They think they're smarter than everyone else and their one question can invalidate all the evidence supporting evolution. Yet they don't bother to find out if that question was asked, and answered, already.
It’s the problem with teaching things by building blocks without making it clear to people that the information they’re learning isn’t 100% accurate and it’ll be expanded on in future classes. This is why we get TERFs claiming they know basic biology,… sure, they DO know basic, 5th grade biology. But biology as a subject is taught well beyond 5th grade, because we dumb material down so much to fit the short time period of learning in a year.

I think TLC did, but I do not remember the name. Maybe my brain is still fried from all that insanity. My question is, "How does one couple have so many kids?!"
The beginning of this video gives me a warm fuzzy memory. I explained the common ancestor to a guy who didn't believe in evolution. I told him to imagine a tree. What humans and monkeys evolves from are the roots, but we all branched out. I painted a whole picture, and each individual is a leaf. Edit: and yes! He actually listened to me! I don't know if he believes... But I think it helped.
I think one of the reasons why these people do not believe in evolution is that they don't understand it. If I had the same understanding that some of these questions hint at I probably wouldn't believe it eather. It seems more of a general education problem rather than being just ignorant by choice.
28:40 The fact that he talks about the "way of the light" or something, witch doesn't realy make sense in a cristian setting, makes this either a satire (thank god) or not just a realy ungodly misinterpretation of cristianity, but a kind of cristianity tought to be the purest one by it's victims (yes i think they are victims) but is contaminated with some nonsensical buzzword bullshit, or some motives torn from eastern cultures, stripped from all their meaning.
33:55 hope the baby comes out the womb trans lol. First words be like: "Mother, please refer to me with she/her* pronouns" then right back too googoogaga XD **Not my phone thinking it should be 'her/her'* lmaaaao- maybe I've just consumed too much of the devil's lettuce but- my pronouns are hurr/hurr/hurr, because that's got me chuckling
19:58 my dad said a similar comment about creepers when i was younger, and i had to explain this to him. I also got suspended trom school for talking about creepers at school and me saying "boom" made someone think i was making a bomb threat.
@TheChangelingGamer this was like late elementary school, and I was rhe quiet kid that got teased a lot. I'm pretty sure it was someone who just didn't like me, but the story was specifically about how I finished building a house then a creeper scared me and them exploded. Minecraft was still in late alpha/ early beta at this time, and not the most popular of things
Multiple people have. A few have made the news but it has happened more often than that. It's why some hospitals have you go through a metal detector before you can enter. (While others do not.)
@@Insertia_Nameia yep, metal detectors just make sense for MRIs. Not just because of stupid people with guns, but for anyone that either doesn't understand what materials things are made of or why it matters that they NEED to leave the items outside the room.
26:50 This dude is either a time traveler from the early 80s, or a sitcom character from the same era. Those are the only explanations that make any sense.
The reason quora questions are so unhinged is that it's almost incentivized to be that way. The more engagement with a question, the more they pay you. It's a small amount for sure but you do get paid to ask questions.
Thank you for including the cat and your interaction, it's endearing and brings up fond, nostalgic memories for me. Thanks also for diving into this horrible cesspool of idiocy for our amusement. Thanks for all the good content throughout this career of yours. I look forward to seeing more of it, just take care of yourself and the people close to you, cat included. Kind regards from Iceland og ha et gott nytt år, kjære ven.
13:13 So... If you are smart you like kids in a bad way? Is this person telling on himself? Aren't those kind of prisoners kept away from general public? He was in there with them and is praising their IQ? He is totally telling on himself..
@@einienj3281 pedos are the only criminal that is protected based on the crime they commit and killing a pedophile in jail is considered a hate crime gods I hate America
20:10 - I would say that they've been having their child pay them to tell him what to do and they're upset now that he realizes he doesn't have to and never had to. Disgoosting.
As a German I can answer: If friends can't find me during a festival, they wait a moment until they hear a really loud laugh and after approximately 2-4 laughs they find me. Works even if they are up to 1km away and we're both outdoors! Soooo, they definitely say that I'm able to laugh😂
@@TheChangelingGamer Loud and clear. xD It's a combination of my voice (I can bring even up to 200 people on a medieval market to dance what I teach them to dance, without a microphone xD) and... yes... laughing just pretty loud.
I myself, as a german, can confirm that we, in fact, do lough from time to time. We actually have some quite hillarious jokes we tell each other. Let me translate one of them for you into english: Two hunters meet. Both dead.
6:10 While that's true, if Legal Eagle is right, that kind of case will get thrown out in discovery if it even makes it that for. Even if it went farther, all of the evidence would find the hospital was in the right.
