I feel bad for the parolee, that genuinely would be terrifying if he was so far back in the queue that he couldn't even show his point
I think some people seem to forget that the point of protests is to get support for your issue. Not annoy the public till they will support what you don't like out of spite
He was arrested
He has a kid that he was providing for >:(
@@AxolBedwars 90% of the time, these "Protestors" are doing the exact opposite of what they want to happen. They activly turn people against them with these actions.
@@ellec7188 Bruh no :'(
Yeah. And it’s not even like it was a march of like 5 thousand, where you’d likely get a pass because a ton of people know about it, it’s just like 8 people sitting in traffic.
The “schools put litter boxes in for student who identifies as a cat” thing came from a cut up clip of a teacher who was saying how awful it was that *in case of a school shooting/hostage situation they had to have buckets of sand in the classroom for trapped students to poop in*
It was never about furries or the left or any single student, it was a safety precaution that showed how awful school shootings had become
What you say might've taken place but is unconnected to Joes podcast. Joe made this story up. Defaming lib youth is goto strategy to make right wing content. It's the same thing with drag queens and trans surgeries. All "right wing celebrities" do it and it's important to be aware of it.
i was just about to say something about this! it also wasnt a lot of schools, just some trying it out
If I recall correctly , the first school district to add litter to their shooter lock down supplies was the same one where columbine happened. Could be wrong.
So the point being made by this was against conservative ideals but was twisted into political propaganda making liberals look insane. Sounds about right for the time 👍
This is more believable. Republicans taking a serious issue of school shootings and gun control and twisting it into a bizarre fantasy world to justify transphobia.
As an FYI, the Van Gogh flowers are fine. The painting was behind glass. They were back up in 6 hours.
and as a reminder stop oil activists were paid by foundation owned by the same person who have big oil company to make such activists look stupid
Thanks for looking into that, I seen it elsewhere and was actually wondering if they had it in glass... and if it were real... was hoping it weren't
@@fliper3393 That's a common occurrence, too. There have been quite a few examples of people being paid to protest for or against stuff. Although I don't know how legal that practice is.
Also, just stop oil isn't actually an anti-oil collective. It's an organisation funded by oil billionaires to make propaganda against fossile fuel-protestors
I believe it is now a common practice for all or at least most famous paintings that are on display to be behind glass to prevent this and similar instances like it from happening, as well as preventing the surrounding dust from coming into direct contact with them.
Fun fact: the reason the Mayan calendar ended in 2012 was because they ran out of space on their rock, and they figured by then they could find a bigger rock
Huh. That’s interesting. I always figured it was because they died out or got conquered before they could get any further, but then again, history was never my strongest subject
@@heartofthewild680 I mean you’re not wrong, that’s why they couldn’t find a bigger rock by 2012
That's... one way to look at it. They just used a certain number base that turned out to cover ~6000 years per grand cycle. And that seems to be the kind of 'just long enough to not really grasp' time-frame that makes conspiracy nutters go crazy(er) than they arleady are.
What does it MEAN?!! And they surely could have used a bigger stone... I mean it's not like stacking rocks of enormous sizes was their special thing...
Another fun fact: The Mayan religion has no concept of apocalypse.
Fun fact, Frankenstein wasn't even a doctor in the story, he was a college student neglecting his classes to make the monster, so everyone there was wrong in some way.
Yeah, didn't he build the monster in his dorm room or something like that? It was super not approved, and he went about nagging the ears off of anyone who would listen. I mean, he was right, he succeeded, and his "monster" was even a relatively nice guy, but man that dude was f'ed up 😂
@@PanthereaLeonis you know what they say (or at least what some guy said), knowledge is knowing frankenstien wasnt the monster, wisdom is know that he was
@@tieflingcorpse9817
And genius is realizing the monster was a Frankenstein, and that's the point of the book.
As 'Doctor' Frankenstein's son, Adam's surname is Frankenstein. A son raised without a father. Same intellect, same easily-frustrated nature. Same callousness, in the end.
@@PanthereaLeonis Even then I still dislike the people who killed the monster more than Frankenstein
@@nintendoboy3605 Baron von Frankenstein literally created a second monster and immediately deliberately destroyed it right in front of the first monster, who demanded he create it.
I think we need to start complimenting this fine example of a person in return. Cliccy, you are as fresh as a spring strawberry. 🍓
A Migaki strawberry at that!
As sweet and tart as a strawberry after a Floridian hurricane
That'll show him.
Correct , TheClick indeed has a Face, and it exists in a way that is good.
That is... weirdly fitting
An important thing they don’t mention in the Van Gogh headline is that there was a glass case covering the painting. So the soup only made the glass dirty, it didn’t ruin the actual painting.
Oh that's good news
Wonder if they threw it at an oil painting for some sort of obtuse symbolism? They got publicity but it doesn't appear to have drawn support. It's all about the soup and painting. I'm all for a protest but make it effective & connected to what you oppose. Like blocking the road...there's only a few scenarios that'd male sense to try, otherwise it's jackassery.
Thank God.
@@andromedaspark2241 Their statements, as they glued themselves to the wall was "Do you care about this painting more than the earth? Why is it when I mess this painting that people notice?" or Smth like that. But yeah, they did use the painting like a symbolism of ignorance.
but their protest was still pretty dumb hhh
@@andromedaspark2241 they said in an interview that they did it to get media attention to start a conversation
i love how some straight cis people say stuff like “if you’re a female and do not shave in a daily basis you’re basically a man!” and “if you’re male and paint your nails you’re basically a woman”
and as soon as someone says they’re trans they right away go “you’ll never be a real man/woman!!!” even if this for example trans man literally has a peepee
I know, I can speak from experience (Being a trans man), It's incredibly annoying to deal with
But I can only hope that other people don't have to go through stuff like this, because they deserve to be loved
No, you don't understand! Everyone's what gender _I_ say they are because _I'm RIGHT!!_ You're just stupid and don't conform to the painfully short breadth of ideas I've embraced in my fixed mindset that will never allow me to accept things I don't already like!!
They make about as much sense as mean little kids on a playground, because that's who they used to be and they've never changed at all.
Yup
Gender is all about behaviour and outward appearances
Until it's no longer convenient for them.

The man whose parole was violated was also charged with assault because he was recorded pulling the protestor's sign out of his hands. It's heartbreaking how unyielding the US justice system can be for people who have done wrong one time.
It's designed that way so that they can hold on to their slaves. I nearly fell off my chair when I read the USA bill that ended slavery because it specifically excludes prisoners.
If you don't want the punishment then don't do the crime.
it's like they're more obsessed with punishment than with doing the right thing.
@@exilestudios9546 so you've got the perfect crime-to-punishment formula figured out then?
@@exilestudios9546 do you not know what parole even means? he did the punishment. he's been paroled. he's been let out under restrictions. he's served his time and has been given a chance to show his redemption.
its easy to sit there behind a screen and judge someone whos path you've never walked, and likely never will. I also HIGHLY doubt you've never committed any crimes.
Poor parolee, I hope he either got an understanding parole officer or actually managed to get to work
he got sent to jail :(
Aww :(

To the woman worried about having a son turning into a whole slew of horrible stereotypes at 26:06 I have one thing to say:
"With you as the mother, I don't doubt it"
It's so gross how she really listed "loser" as equally terrible as a r***st or serial killer, I mean, wow, I sure HOPE that person never has a child.
Ooh, burn. Man often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
I know, I guess we really need plague inc to actually influence reality
When a kid is never given the chance to be anything but bad, they will inevitably end up that way.
This is the plot of Megamind.
@@charlieandhisantics9954 hal had a chance tho. He just threw it away
My dad genuinely tried to present the ‘Gen z cancels thumbs up’ as a real thing that was happening and I had to explain to him how a couple of people saying an emoji comes off as slightly dismissive due to generational differences in communication does no translate to ‘Gen z want this emoji BANNED’
I don’t know anyone who thinks a thumbs up would be aggressive. It is literally saying “ok, thanks” or “great!”
As an autistic person, I hate when people put their own insecurities and inflection on things like emails and emojis just to try to get someone in trouble or hate them for no reason. I have to say it’s something neurotypicals would probably do just to bully an autistic person out of the workplace by trying to make them seem hostile when they’re not. I’m sure it was a few sociopaths who use it to play victim and bully someone.
@emptyglass7867uh, no we haven’t. It’s a thumbs up. It’s not dismissive. Typing “k” is dismissive. A thumbs up is an efficient way of saying “thank you! Got it!” Or “awesome”
👍
@@judeearlywine9759ok 👍
My Grandma watches Fox News and swears the litter boxes in schools is real. She claims the Democrats are trying to corrupt the children and make them stupid by convincing them they are animals and to use the litter instead of the toilets.
Long/heavy periods being a dealbreaker is hilarious because short/light periods can actually indicate that the uterine lining is too thin, which reduces your chances of pregnancy.
Its probably a good thing those kinds of people are less likely to reproduce.
Til that I possibly have reduced chances to get pregnant. I'm happy about that.
A guy saying an infertile woman is a dealbreaker is even worse. Any guy who only dates or marries a woman to have kids sees her as a cow. That is the most disgusting thing and the worse reason to get married. If a man truly loves a woman, he won’t care if they have kids or not. (Also adoption is cheaper, environmentally friendly, and doesn’t put your life at risk like pregnancy does).
@@JDMimeTHEFIRST ...I think people should be allowed to want children, tho?
Personal preference is never wrong, specially when it comes to your own happiness and life goals. Even if it's meaningless to you, you don't know what it means to them.
What's wrong is labelling those preferences as rules and imposing them on everyone, which is what the people in the Subreddit do. And dangerously close to what people like you do, as well.
Though I agree that AFTER falling in love priorities can change, you don't just purposefully fall in love with someone who doesn't match your interests just to please someone else's ideals.
@@jairomenares2089 feel free to correct me, but i think they meant that if a man tries to date/marry a woman PURELY for kids, that's the issue. my english sucks though so don't count on my word :/
Something I learned about protesting from a professional, you have to plan your protest so it inconviences your target without causing trouble for others. You want others on your side. Blocking the road shows your importance but makes enemies out of potential supporters and that hurts your cause
I love the Japanese transport drivers, trains and buses and whatnot. Each time they still do their route but just refuse to charge passengers: hurt the company, not the public, so very hard to not be on their side, and very hard for the company to ignore it. Perfection. Those muppets who glue themselves to motorways and such like achieve nothing but making people who would have been on their side of the argument hate them.
@@SuzanneRush thanks for reminding me, I'm actually going to Japan soon. I hope I see this for myself
'Target' - The news.
Protest gets on news. Morons donate.
Rich get richer.
At the very minimum they need to be harming their target more than the general public!
I have lived for almost 40 years now and never once has a protest of any kind made me feel anything other then pity and disgust for the protestors. How about you put that energy to the cause you are protesting about? Bitching and whining in the streets does nothing but make you FEEL like your doing something. Which is apparently all that matters to people these days. The FEELING of doing something. Actual practical action is not even pondered.
And don't give me any horseshit about "Raising awareness" maybe in the 70's that was a legit reason but now? The internet age all you need to raise awareness is a cell phone and a social media account.
The milk protests (at least here in Switzerland) weren't about stopping people from buying milk. It was producers protesting that they weren't paid enough by the big distributers (not even the actual value of the milk, they were going into debt) and throwing away milk was basically to say "might as well throw it away at that price"
I get the point there, but I wish they would have rather made some grandiose gesture and given it to kindergartens, schools or orphanages. Just wasting it felt unnecessary.. and stinky.
I hope they got to clean it up afterwards, rather than leaving it for some poor bastard who had nothing to do with their issue.
Then it was counter funded online to do tik-tok trends…. To make it seem insane…
@@janemiettinen5176that just seems charitable, ur not gonna piss anyone off, which doesn't seem to be the point of the protest
@@planetaryg0 I dont think protest needs to piss people off, it’s to make your point or opposition clear. They couldve done a big gesture about it and still be in protest. Pissing people off is like violence, only stupid people have to turn to it, but thats just my opinion.
The "dating a woman with high testosterone levels" really pissed me off as a female with PCOS and knowing this condition is hella common, this isn't fun for any women and can lead to serious health issues🙄
I just found out that I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and part of the diagnosis process involved my health history from my medical records. PCOS was one of the many conditions that could have been an indicator that I had hEDS. PCOS and Endometriosis made my life difficult and this was the beginning of me being chronically ill with a multitude of diagnosises of chronic conditions.
I am sorry that you have/had to experience this. It sucks royally. I ended up having a hysterectomy after my second child was born. I also had to use medical hepatitis to get pregnant, thankfully just a medication.
@@IrishNanof4 I'm really sorry this all happened to you, I hope things get better for you. I have other serious health issues so I know living with multiple conditions is hard and people on the outside don't always understand it.
I really do hope things start to get better for you❤
"never date a woman with high testosterone" is a seriously jerk thing to say, but what made it a facepalm were the insane standards they listed. They claim that only women who are 5'4 (163 cm) or shorter, have C cup or larger breasts, weigh 120 lbs (under 55 kg), have only light periods, do not have acne, and do not have "a lot" of body hair are worthy of being dated by a man, because in the mind of whatever complete lunatic wrote that post, anything else is a "horrible trait" in a woman, caused by high t-levels, and means she's probably a lesbian or infertile. I don't know much about medical conditions, but I don't need such knowledge to know that whoever made that comment was an absolute idiot.
I have severe disphoria from my PCOS issues. People are really mean. I've been called a circus freak at church. Is crazy.
@@ginasalinas7892 I get that. I still am at odds with how I see my body. PCOS definitely has made it harder to love my body but I'm getting there with therapy and kindness towards myself

The (supposed) original source of the story is actually a teacher explaining how the school provided a bucket and cat litter for students to use if a lock down was in place for a long time, and how she thought it was awful. She was clipped saying that she received kitty litter and how it was wrong and that's (supposedly) how the urban legend began.
So, supposedly, conservatives caused a problem (extended lockdowns due to rampant school shootings), recorded someone complaining about it, twisted and edited their words for them to sound like they're talking about something completely different, and got upset over the fake story.
Sounds about right.
Yeesh, didn't realize how bleak the original source was
And then people made it a furry thing (even though that's actually therians and not furries), as well as a thing against trans people.
That clip of the kids inviting their divorced parents to dinner warmed my heart. I've been divorced from my girls dad for 19 years, we still take the kids out for dinner on their birthday, meet up at my place for holidays, etc.
Good job Lisa! Keep up being wonderful!
That is awesome! You too, Sean! It's important to have people in your life who think about how their actions affect the rest of the family. It's encouraging. Mostly you hear about the worst examples.
My parents did this and still do this too and it's definitely nice to not feel awkward when they are in the room together or feel like I can't invite them to the same place.
Sadly my mom and dad aren't like that. My mom refuses to be in the same place as my dad, even when my Mamaw (his mom) was in the hospital and we were worried she had a stroke, she was going to come and help, until she heard my dad was there. My dad is very accepting of my mom but she is not that way towards him, probably because she refuses to believe he has actually grown as a person and worked past his issues.
For the oil painting one; oil paints aren't made of the oil you're thinking of. They're made of linseed oil, which is obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). The oil is obtained by pressing, sometimes followed by solvent extraction.
Wait until they find out what we can do with olives 😂
Thank you! Exactly, it was pointless and thoughtless. I agree with Click that protests that don't have a logical purpose and target are terrible. I'm just thankful that the museum had the painting protected.
Almost as bad as that one was the daft woman spray painting the Scotland Yard sign...in full view of the cctv cameras, with nothing obscuring her face. 🤦 I said I thought it actually looked better orange, tbh, made it stand out more lol.
The oil protesters are also literally funded by an oil baroness. They're just there to make oil protests look bad.
i dont think they had a problem with oil painting, it's just to bring attention to their message
About the Chinese spy, I've heard about this story. Apparently the dude did this crazy thing where he'd tuck his three-piece set up and squeeze his perineal muscles to keep everything in place. It was insane. My theory is that the diplomat knew the spy was a dude but the official version went the no homo route. Somehow being gay was more embarrassing than leaking crucial intel to your affair partner XD
I've learned from watching things like Drag Race, apparently men have a...pouch that they can comfortably tuck their junk into, then tape it.
There is a movie called M. Butterfly that is about the spy and diplomat. It goes into detail about how he managed to fool him. It's an interesting watch.
@@silverstormsfury5349 Pretty sure there isn't a convenient, comfortable pouch for that
edit: I am a guy, and please put emphasis on the comfortable part; I feel like I would just get testicular torsion if I put it in the "pouch", but even if not, it would feel very weird at least.
@@bowtieguy8332convenient? Sure. Comfortable? No. But, that’s a thing. It’s called tucking. You shove the balls back up inside, then take the penis, pull it back to make it flat, then tape it in place.
@@bowtieguy8332 So because of the way that male anatomy is laid out you can tuck the testicles back up into the body cavity where they sit prior to birth when they descend into the scrotum. So there kind of is a space there for the testis to be reinserted but the penis doesn't fit in there and would have to be tucked and taped out of the way.

Wait. Why am I telling people this?
I'm currently 16 and I feel like growing up with social media has made me more open minded. Or at least, that's what I like to think. I do feel like I have been humbled a bit by seeing all the things that people have done and continue to do and at the same time I've definitely lost some trust and naivety by seeing just how bad people can be. So, it's kind of a mixed bag, seeing the good and the bad a bit earlier than I would have otherwise.
It's all about what you do and who you talk with. Unfortunately, most of the people about your age, who's also grown up on social media, are terrible people. So rude and obnoxious. But, it's all about the people they digitally socialize with. :(
@@chatboulon743 From what I've noticed it is only some, not most. Most of the people my age are tired and stressed from seeing the world dying and it feels like everyone only cares about money. That being said, I'm 20 and in college, so still learning and you most likely are right. Oh well, don't stop being awesome!
We really need to compile an article to post when people reach the ‘social awakening’ stage. It really has become a trope in our society

"I'm afraid of having a son because he could be a bad person"
I'm afraid of having children in general because I could raise them wrong and be a bad parent
As someone who's parents divorced when I was 5, I'm glad to see other parents able to still be civil with each other after the divorce. It does a LOT of good for the kids. My family does holidays together so it keeps my sister and me seeing the other parent (she lives with dad, I live with mom) and us seeing each other. It's been nice to have them civil and able to still be family even if they aren't married.
well, that isnt possible for all families. if my mother were to be "civil" with my father, shed be putting her and her son, maybe even the whole family, at risk of losing or ruining their lives. they arent together for a very very good reason, and it surely would NOT do a lot of good for me to have someone like him in my life. i appreciate my mother for having the courage to know it was the right thing to do, cutting off her son from his father, knowing that one day i might blame her for it and run off and meet him on my own, putting us all in danger. she is a very brave woman
I'm glad your parents had a healthier relationship but... Yeah, that's not everyone.
My parents got divorced when I was older and I think my mom really hoped that that would be our experience. She never thought in a million years that my father would have as little love for us as he did for her. He was a burn-all-bridges narcissist and the only reason my brother and I didn't catch the full experience of that was because he literally wasn't around enough when he was married to my mom. He was neglectful, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive, and he made it impossible for us to exist without fear. He took my mother to court as many times as he possibly could, mostly over how much child support he had to pay and how much control he had over whatever money my brother and I had.
My brother and I both cut ties with him and he convinced his side of the family that it was because mom turned us against him when in reality, every time he does one of his laughable attempts to reach out to us, she tells us and asks what we want to do. She could just pretend he doesn't and would honestly be doing us a favor but she won't take that choice away from us.
She wonders if she did the right thing but if she hadn't divorced him, my brother and I would've had no escape from his bullsh*t.
@@majmak9604 im sorry you had to go thru that too, my dad was a lot like yours (except he was also a cheater but never hit any of us). He keeps trying to reach but none of us (me and mom, i have no siblings) want any contact - we decided he was too shitty to be around when he had the chance to (very absent) but now he keeps trying to impose his presence. Luckily we gt to cut contact and have him around as little as possible
Mine divorced too, probably around 7 years ago. They are getting *worse!*
my parents also divorced when i was 5 but it was bc my dad had severe anger issues and was abusive af and to this day my parents can’t have a conversation without him getting overly angry for no reason. and that’s not even mentioning the fact that my dad constantly talks shit abt my mom behind her back when i’m on phone calls with him and stuff. he even lies abt her and it’s not even normal lies it’s always the most fucked up out of this world bullshit ever 😭
so yea my parents can’t be civil it’s just impossible. i want him to get therapy but obviously asking a man who’s way older and stronger than you who also has extreme anger issues to do something he doesn’t want to do isn’t gonna end well

The whooping cough story brought back memories...
When I was in school, some dumb parent had the bright idea of sending their kid to school with it. Many, many kids got sick, vaccinated or not. I was vaccinated and I still got it, largely because the year I got the vaccination, it was for some reason weaker than previous versions of it. I was among the lucky ones that only missed a week of school (though I had to spend the entire winter vacation sleeping on the couch because sleeping in a bed would trigger those fits for some reason), but there were a good few that missed an entire *month* of school. Even after I got better, I still had to take it easy because any amount of physical effort would have me out of breath and coughing. My lungs were messed up for a long while before I was finally back to normalcy.
Get vaccinated, and if your kid's sick, *DO NOT* send them to school.
I had the same happen. Vaccinated and still got it. 8 weeks off school. 6 of those on the sofa unable to move without not being able to breath. And then throwing up.... And not being able to breath, pretty much at all. Skin going grey, lips going blue, feeling like I was about to pass out= Life long panic attacks when I'm being sick.... And lungs still not back to how they used to be. I was about 7 at the time. I'm now 33. Great fun. And people think these kind of illnesses aren't that big of a deal.
when i was younger i thought if the plague returned, it wouldn't be so dangerous because we're smarter and have better medicine and all that
....yeah, i was wrong about the whole people being smarter thing
we should stop saying "avoid it like the plague" because apparently people don't do that
Same happened when I was in elementary. The vaccine was very new then so of course a lot of us didn’t have it. But we had a couple of outbreaks a few times. I had it too once. It was awful.

I'm a swedish woman living with several mental illnesses and I had to see a doctor to do a gynechological test on me. I was so anxious I had to take tranquillizers just to get there, and even though the doctor was really kind it hurt SO BAD. I had my mom holding my hand and a stuffed animal, and was supposed to relax when it hurt like hell. But I endured, and survived, and now she'll give me a new medication to help me.
I'm exhausted now and really needed some humour from an intelligent swede to cheer me up. Thank you!
Oh damn! I hope the medications will be able to help, I wish you the best!

To be fair for the lady who got her boyfriend the "you've aged" it is kind of hard for me to memorize everyone's age including my parents. The only person whose age I can reliably remembers my sisters and that's because she was born in January 2000 so her age is 90% of the time the last two digits of this year.
Hey, I need to sometimes count backwards to know how old I am, never mind other peeps, its nearly impossible. Age isnt important, remembering close peoples special days is much more so. Dont sweat it. And in that ladys case, just Happy B-day or Congrats wouldve been perfect, no room for error :)

These people may be misguided, but they are in no way selfish. I don't know what they were protesting, but they were ready to go to great lengths for what is probably a good cause.

@Mark Agreed. Most the comments don't even know what they were protesting so their efforts didn't work in bringing attention to their cause or winning over public sympathy, it just made people angry.
The whole litter box in schools thing is much more horrifying than you could imagine because it comes from the very real ‘kits’ they give out to school teachers for in case they are having a lockdown and a kid needs to go to the bathroom-the kit is a big bucket, trash bags, and cat litter.

There was actually a legitimate video going around of a teacher describing how they had buckets with cat litter in the school for the students, and the teacher said how that's insanity.
The catch is that that "litterbox" was not for a student identifying as a cat, but what was edited out of the video was the explanation that it is in case students are locked in a classroom for a very long time during a school shooting.
Jesus Keerst, that’s awful. Imagine being a teacher and having to think of things like that.
@@Essentially_Nobody The video is by a teacher from Jefferson, Colorado called Cassie Lopez. There are articles about it from CNN, Business Insider, Time Magazine, etc. But some conservatives have edited the school shooting context out of the video to pretend it's about students identifying as cats.

My mom (who is a total Karen and attracts Republicans like flies) has this conservative friend (I'll call her B) that told us the litterbox story one day over lunch, and when I questioned B on it, she said her granddaughter had backed it up when B had asked her.
I'm pretty sure the granddaughter was just messing with her, not wanting to unpack a whole heap of nonsense if she didn't have to.
I'd just figure she was making that up herself. You know how many people lie about the things their kids 'say'?
The granddaughter probably also just heard it somewhere and passed it on.
You can tell B it originated from a tiktok, where a teacher was showing up what the class is supposed to use (bucket with cat litter) in case of a lockdown, like shootings etc., and she wasnt happy about it. Tell her also my greetings on a gun laws well made, so we ended up here in the first place. Rifles for babies, so we can get kindergarten shootings next..

I work with 5-7 year olds and there is a huge difference between my childhood, genZ childhood, and their childhood culture. I’m really excited to watch how this generation will grow up. Getting old is fun.
Idk about the whole "Generation X-Y-Z-α-β" shtick. Shouldn't at least X & Y have received some descriptive names by now, if there were any distinctively predominant characteristics about them?
Also love how random these lines are drawn:
I grew up with a two years older brother and have a ten years younger cousin who grows up with his three years younger sister.
Guess who of us are categorized into the same "Generation" and thus generally attributed similar childhood experiences and characteristics?
Right: Not my brother and I, not my two cousins, nope: it's my ten years younger cousin and I. 🤦♂️
@@LRM12o8 Unfortunately, "Generation X" *is* the descriptive term. Back in the 1990s, some Boomer sociologist decided that my entire generation was a bunch of lazy bums who didn't care about anything, so they slapped that label on us. "X" for "nothing". The people a few years younger than me were initially labeled "Generation Y" simply because it followed alphabetically, but that eventually got changed to Millennials, which at least means something. Then Gen Z got the same treatment, and I really hope that a better description will soon be applied to them.
You are right, of course, about these distinctions being largely arbitrary. Knowing when a person was born can obviously only give you limited information about them. But still, you can get some broad ideas about what their life experiences have been. For example, the older generation that lived through the Great Depression and WWII; the Boomers who saw the Civil Rights Movement, and participated in both the Vietnam War and the protests against it; Gen X who saw the beginnings of the internet; Millennials who helped social media take off; Gen Z whose adolescence has been disrupted by the pandemic. These are very broad strokes, but they have affected each generation in different ways. The "cutoff dates" for different generations are just to help social scientists talk about stuff, not to make hard statements about individuals. People who think generational differences make it impossible for different generations to communicate are obviously being absurd, but the differences absolutely do exist.
Yeah, I can also see that with my nephews. They're slightly older, but I really can see how different their childhood is from mine.
@@mirandarensberger6919 as far as I know X was chosen because of the mathematical x for an unknown variable. That stuck until even know, when the oldest "Gen Xers" are 57 years old. If anything about them stood out against other "generations", it would've earned them a better name by now. Funnily enough, over here in Germany, the X is linked to "Experts" or something like that as Gen X is said to be very laborious and focused on their business career, so the complete opposite over her to what you say.
At least that's what I remember from a schoolbook and it's absolutely hilarious that my father's generation was still considered as youth/teenagers when that schoolbook I had in sixth or seventh grade (so, 11/12 yo) was written. He's 30 years older than me! 😂
"Millenials" isn't actually any more descriptive of the people than "Gen Y". Both just vaguely hint at a timeframe. I wrongly thought for the longest time that Millenials were people *born* around the turn of the millenia, but actually it's people who* grew up* around it. Either way, that's not an event that radically changed the world in a significant way, just a fancy date.
In fact I believe that since the end of WW2 there has not been a global event that rapidly and radically changed the world in a way that's significant enough to have made a distinct impact on an entire generation of kids & teens.
That's probably why the lines between "generations" seem so arbitrary.
I also find it very telling that the people entertaining this "generation" theory can already tell that the kids who will be born in 2024 will be a different generation than those who have been born in the last ten years up to now. As if they knew of some life changing event* coming in a few years...

@@mirandarensberger6919 No, Miranda. We kinda named ourselves Gen-X … there's a book, "Generation-X", that was written by one of us [he was born in the late 1960s]. Douglas Copeland, if I remember his name correctly.
I also remember why we Gen-Xers got called, "slackers" - it was because we weren't going out and protesting and changing the world and fixing the mess that the Baby-Boomers left for us after they sold out. That's actually who was calling us slackers in the 1990s: those 10-20 years older than us. Which would be the Baby-Boomers.
The other thing I remember about the 1990s is how we got criticized for "not being loyal" to employers and "not being realistic" about jobs. Except, _we were realistic_ about jobs … we saw what "loyalty" got our parents, why be loyal to an employer who's gonna toss you away during the next economic downturn [when you most need a job]?

As a Millennial in her early 30s, I feel that although social media wasn't a major thing until my mid teens, internet culture was a thing much earlier. I remember hearing about games and memes from my classmates in primary school, liking them and sharing them, which was early 2000s.
There's also the factor of someone's experience growing up, my friend has trouble with technology due to not growing up with it as much as me, despite being the same age as me.
You are right. I'm 45 and was born in 1977. I used the internet for the very first time when I was a senior in high school in 1995 when the school invested in getting them. Getting those computers and internet access was something really only the government, corporations, and upper-middle class - wealthy folks could afford. My family got our first internet and computer until the early 2000's when my mother (who was an accountant) needed to invest in internet access for her business.
Totally agree! I'm a boomer (60), but I grew up with an electrical engineer as a dad, who also got me into sci-fi. Because of his influence I had a head start on many of my generation when the computer age started.
37 here. I definitely grew up with computers and the internet. My grandfather had a computer and he tried his hardest to learn it and share something else with me. We had a secon hand Tandy 1000 as a first computer, then later on a windows computer from rent-a-center. AOL discs were my internet til we could actually afford roadrunner. I played Oregon and Amazon trail in elementary school. Social media to an extent was a thing way before FB and Myspace. Chat rooms, online text based co-op games, Geocities.....
I was born in 85 and I was old enough to experience the shift of pre/post internet & mobile phones. It is really an odd feeling looking back how it was then and how nowadays it is basically impossible to live without those two things.
Exactly! I was born in 74, so older than many here but certainly not all. It’s crazy to have had a front row seat to the technological revolution 💙
I remember the tail end of typewriters.
86 here, same. We still technically had social media, it was just MySpace back then, before Facebook. I didn't even have my own computer or phone until I was 16, and only out of necessity. Now I see people giving their toddlers their $1400 phones to play with, buying them their own iPads and whatever, and some parents plastering pictures and videos and every tiny detail about their kid basically from the moment of birth. It's a little disturbing. Some teenager almost walked in front of my car (no sidewalk, but I wasn't moving at the time) because he was glued to his phone screen.
The thing that pissed me off about the activists and parolee is that he and his car were right in front and he had explained what was going to happen to them. They EASILY could've moved only long enough to let him through but no one else. Also in defence of the Van Gogh direct action even tho i do think it's a stupid action, the art was protected and no damage was planned or caused, it was purely to cause controversy and get publicity.
As for the spilling milk protest, a few years back here in Italy, the producers of milk protested against the distributors because of the low price it was bought from them compared to the price it was sold in the supermarket at and compared to the production cost. They interrupted and inundated the streets of milk for weeks to show that it was better fom them to waste it rather than sell it. The government eventually interveened (i dont remember how) to solve, or at least partially relieve, the problem.

They would line up in the ticket sales, usually 40-60mins, and when they got to us, start yelling about how horrible racing is… our reaction? ‘Correct, we agree’

The quote is out of context- the actual context is that if you were working with someone from a different country, you wouldn't call them entitled or lazy for not following your customs, you'd just help them learn the customs of their new country, and that's what older employees should do for gen Z. The expert also says exactly what Click says- that every generation has the exact same issue.
31:49 as someone who used to walk barefoot a lot, and still has the crusty tough feet, glass was usually not a big issue. It hardly ever got through, and glass is much less likely to cause infections. Plants with spiky seeds are usually the ones that hurt me, I remember walking through the mountains and constantly having to stop to get them out, because if you leave them in, odds are you have an infection the next day.
Something ridiculously comforting about being told I smell amazing by the most wholesomely cursed man on the platform
Funny story from my country about the Maya calendar thing: some random guys were filming themselves walking around the city and trying to find any girl named Maya to ask them whether it was trully going to be the end of the world. Comic gold at that time XD
My aunt recently called my mom outraged about the cat litter box thing a few weeks ago. I took great relish in letting them know that it was, indeed, probably fiction.
Whoever came up with it was probably just anti furry or some crap like that lol
I tried to explain to my mom why it was probably bullshit, sadly she doesn't listen to reason
It did actually happen in some cities, not very many but there were a few different cities that had it (my friend from one of said cities ranted to me about it multiple times)
@@Maxine_5674 See, that is what's known as 'anecdotal' evidence, or 'hearsay.'
It's not true, it's transphobic fear mongering.
The college girls who said something like $1,000,000 minimum are for sure the ones who end up with a husband with a dead end job. Respect to the girl who said $30K she a real one.
Though, 30K is not great nowadays, unless there are two income sources. Have you seen the housing market? Man.
Honestly, I'd take anyone making over £40,000. My dad makes just over £90,000 a year and we get by. I don't need all that 6 figures stuff
Or is it because that’s all she makes and it would make sense to want someone with equal and similar lifestyle to yours to share your life with. It doesn’t make sense for someone who makes more and likes to travel to date someone who can’t afford to do that. I’d say the ones around 100,000 were being honest and practical. The 30,000 seems a little naive and is more worried about what other people think of her. The other ones may just be debutants and super rich themselves and probably have no concept of money. But the men who marry them will be rich old dudes who suck in bed and need young women who can’t tell the difference. So ask the men how old a woman they would marry and you’ll see how shallow they are.
@@JDMimeTHEFIRST If they were being "practical" they'd learn the value of money and also not expect men to do unrealistically better than they can on the jobs market. Those old men already have wives. Do they not know the difference between reality and TV? OMFG
The whole completely random thumbs up emoji story reminded me of when, around 10 years ago here in my country, some big news media published an article about how women dying their hair blue was a code for being a lesbian and how it was how lesbians identified each other in public and shit, because this one lady at a large public park gave an interview and said something along the lines of "if she has blue hair then I know it's safe to ask her out" or something... Needless to say, this wasn't at all a "code" or anything and a lot of girls were dying their hair blue for all sorts of unrelated reasons, and obviously not all lesbians had blue hair, so it was largely made fun of by younger people in general, but of course a lot of older folks believed it! And at the time I had blue hair (I have it blue again now, but I wore several other colors since then before going back to blue), so my grandma came to me one day and was like "Be careful! I read on the news that lesbians are dying their hair blue, so they may think you like women" - And it's funny because I'm pan so I do like women but she didn't know that XD
What's next? Will people say Getting a tan means your trans?
🤣🤣🤣 Republicans target blue haired women and categorise them as woke 🤣
That sort of thing does exist - for example some aces like to wear a black ring on their middle finger - but no-one claims it's ace-exclusive. Claiming that "blue hair = gay" is frankly ridiculous
"Safe to ask her out" doesn't even necessarily mean that girl is definitely also a lesbian, but maybe less likely to react negatively if not.
@@battlejess85 as a lesbian who was an adult lesbian 10 years ago that was my reading of the response. Conservative minded people are (and back then certainly were) less likely to dye their hair such a color.
Love when folks run with sayings from a culture they don't understand and are not a part of without getting clarification.
Relates to the gen z thumbs up hostility thing. For millennials the equivalent was "ok". For gen x it would have been "cool" idk what boomers had but I'm sure they had something their generation used that sounded like someone wasn't really listening but knew they had to give a response among each other as fellow young boomers that their parents didn't understand.
Okay. So I'm Gen Z (21) and I wasn't allowed to have any form of social media until I moved out of the house. I remember finding my teachers far more relatable than other kids my age growing up. To be fair.... It might have also had to do with the fact that I was bullied a lot up until high school (I moved somewhere else right before high school). Sometimes I was bullied because I cried a lot. Sometimes I was bullied because my feet pointed in rather than just straight out. I didn't have a phone like anyone else my age but I wouldn't be surprised if I was cyber bullied if I did have one. Because of that I always felt so disconnected with kids my age. I always would hang out with my teachers. My 7th grade science teacher specifically. He encouraged my interests even when kids tried to bully me out of having a "childish" interesting (I liked a show called Monster VS Aliens. It wasn't very good and it was meant for young kids so I was picked on a lot for liking it). Recently, I've been trying to get an appointment for a psyche test to see if I have autism so that could also be why I felt a disconnect with people my age as a result of potentially being autistic.
Maybe it's autism, but it could also be overrestrictive parents stunting your social growth. Social media and phones are a big part of the gen Z experience from what I have seen.
I’m 22 and on the autism spectrum. I was diagnosed with (what was at the time called) Asperger’s syndrome in middle school. The most important thing is to know your shortcomings, be open about them when necessary, and self advocate. And sadly testing for girls and women is more likely to result in a false negative because of different societal expectations. And also the older you are, the harder it is to know for sure.
@@angelbane2677 I know you probably means well by specifying girls and woman but it feels like you're making assumptions about my gender identity because of my name. I know it probably doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things since I appear to present as a woman. Just... What I'm trying to say is please do make assumptions about gender. I'm genderfluid and my pronouns are he/they and, right now anyway, being called a woman makes me really uncomfy.
I just want to give you a hug. 🤗 Not gonna get into it, but I was bullied too and I understand. 💙💜❤
@@MossyToomes I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. My statement applies mostly to genetic females, due to cultural expectations of female (at birth) children and differences in brain chemistry between the two biological sexes. It was just simpler to say girls and women. And my statement also does not apply to all people in that group, as there are always exceptions, but rather a majority due to how common the occurrence is.
As usually, love the video!
And as of the Ukrainian ID Card, it reminded me of other "facepalm" story. Years ago there was a polish guy in Ireland. This guy broke some road laws and police was looking for him. As they had caught him before, they knew who were they looking for, at least they thought so... Because they were looking for someone named "Prawo Jazdy". Little did they know, "prawo jazdy" means "Driver's Licence" in Polish! Some police man confused polish DL document and thought it was the name of that guy! :D
Regarding breaking the elevator, people in my college dorm did this several times over the course of the first year. My roommate partook more than once. Like... no one learned from their own mistakes, let alone the mistakes of others. We also lived on the top floor, which made me really confused as to why he would willingly help break one of two elevators and slow wait times for elevators until the broken one got fixed. I ended up usually taking the stairs, because one elevator couldn't serve the whole building properly. I guess my legs were ripped by that summer, so thanks Richard, I suppose...
Not Gen Z but Millennial here. Growing up with social media has been insanely weird and changed a lot of my views, in both good and bad stances and everything in between. With the rampaging double standards within communities, it gets really difficult to have any proper discussion with people. More often than not people choose sides even though they don't know what that side may even stand for. It's just convenient for them at the time.
That being said- it's also made me aware of a ton of problems in the world. I never would have known about the pipelines that are getting built through native territory, or ace spectrums, or tons and tons of history that my school never would have showed me.
Social media and growing up alongside it is a very sharp double-edged sword.
I can definitely confirm in my case that social media usage has been more relevant to how I interact with people than what generation I'm from. I'm college-age Gen Z, but I don't use Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc., despite the fact that a lot of my friends do.
There are times when I feel we're speaking two different languages, even though according to mainstream media we should all be drawing from the same monolith of "Gen Z Culture". It just goes to show how much the generational divide has become politicized, more specifically how older generations have tried to generalize the younger ones as incompetent to justify ignoring their concerns.
TL;DR: it's not an accident that it's historically been more common to see opinion pieces about "entitled millennials" than it is to see ones about the future effects of pollution and climate change.
Specifically, it's been the Baby-Boomers doing this to everyone younger than them. When the Boomers were in their 20s, they had a saying: "Never trust anyone over 30." Then, _they turned _*_40_* and couldn't cope, so they started dumping on first Gen-X [my generation, 1964-1980], then the Millennials [anyone born between 1980 and 2000]. The latest target is, of course, Gen-Z, the first generation born in the 21st Century.
I should NOT have watched this while in the hospital after getting out of surgery. I thought watching this would be fun because it was funny as heck, but laughing was not great for my shattered collar bones, arm, and ripped shoulder muscles. I wish I had Click's self control to avoid laughing the entirely of this video.
Get well soon!
I hope you get well soon
Laughter is only the best medicine when it doesn't aggravate a wound or something like that. Here's hoping everything heals quickly and without complications.
Ei yo, you okay?!
Out of curiosity what happened to you
I feel that growing up with socially media has given gen z a much wider world view than what they are given by family and school
I LOVE the woman who spelled out "first and last"! Not saying she is, but I'm autistic and I take everything so literally this is something I definitely would have done. 😂
Well, he DID say "spell first and last," not "spell YOUR first and last." Garbage in, garbage out.
I’m not autistic but that was the first thing that came to my mind as well, probably would’ve done the same as the lady😂
@@dmgroberts5471 exactly, I even thought that was the point and that she got it right until his reaction
Lol
I love the idea that news outlets just interview trolls and pass on their stories
I mean CNN made headlines about the homophobic Michael Myers meme.
It's annoying since they've artificially created hate symbols because of it.
@@aycoded7840 omg. The OK incident.
and that it's the same news "source"
It just goes to show how things get taken out of context by those who are being criticized. From the context it sounds like emojis are being used in the workplace (which is weird to begin with) in a passive aggressive manner. Imagine you email your boss that you're being harassed and get 👍 in response. That's my take at least
👍
Honestly, if I'm texting my coworkers or supervisor about work, I'd rather get 👍than the lazy "k" to know they acknowledged me.
I just realized I've been listening to this channel for hours, literally auto-playing all day at work. This doesn't happen. I think I'm trapped in a liminal meme space and there's no longer an option to escape. Don't send help, it's too late.
I recall that story, the protest blocking the road. The dude did go back to jail and then one of the protesters tried to raise money to "help" while not knowing anything about the guy and was caught pocketing all the money basically
I looked it up and couldn’t find anything about it except the initial story. Certainly nothing about a protester keeping money. And I googled that specifically.
@@GrumpyOldFart2 There was a gofundme set up around when it happened but it likely was shut down fast, not sure if all the money was returned
@@GrumpyOldFart2 I also tried to find where I heard it as well. It was on a Lotuseaters podcast and possible Tim Pool segment but it was over 2 months ago and cannot find the right video or clip
That thing about working with Gen Z being difficult: I remember some time ago (5 - 10 years maybe) the same thing was being said about millennials. Social media probably also has a big influence, but it seems to be at least partially a generational thing
The thing I noticed about the millennials I worked with a few years agio was their sense of entitlement. The company we worked for was acquired by another company. It was announced the work week would now be 40 hours (the old company did 35 hour weeks - 7 hours a day). Several of my co-workers were complaining they now had to work more hours for the same pay. All I could think was "You spoiled little shits, you should feel lucky you even have a job". Gee whiz, you now have to work 8 hours a day like the rest of us. My having worked through both the 2000 & 2008 economic downturns and gone through a couple mergers with a couple companies, I knew how often people would lose their jobs and have difficulty finding employment.
The fun thing about being on salary is you get to work ALL the hours you want without getting paid anything extra.
I think that the truth is employers don't like the fact that they have to train and teach work ethic to people who are just entering the workforce so they shift the blame on the "lazy new generation". But I am glad that genZ is starting to refuse overworking themselves unlike previous generations (at the exception of boomers). I hope Zoomers end up making the workplace progress but that they won't do like the boomers and keep all the success for themselves once they are in positions on power.
It's all nostalgia bias:
Back when you were starting out as a young, inexperienced worker, you didn't realize all the mistakes you made on a daily basis before you became a well organized senior employee who was his work routines down to a T.
But now that you have the knowledge however, you start to recognize all those mistakes in the new generation of young, inexperienced workers and get tge impression they would make a lot more mistakes than you did, simply because you forgot most of the mistakes you had to make before you learned the lessons and never even realized all of them to begin with.
@@rolandhansen812 what the F, complaining about being asked to work an hour longer per day for the same pay is not entitlement, that's just being a confident worker who knows the value of the of their work, you corporate donkey! 😂
Can't wait for the next generation and we stop getting lambasted for being Gen Z like the millenials were when Gen Z became a thing

Shei Pei Pu was a Chinese opera singer from Beijing. He became a spy who obtained secrets from Bernard Boursicot, an employee in the French embassy, during a 20-year-long sexual affair in which the performer convinced the man that he was a woman. Bernard Boursicot first met Shi, at 26 years old, at a Christmas party in December 1964; the performer was dressed as a man. Shi had been teaching Chinese to families of embassy workers. He told Boursicot that he was "a female Beijing opera singer who had been forced to live as a man to satisfy his father's wish to have a son". The two quickly developed a sexual relationship, maintained in darkness. Shei convinced Boursicot that he was with a woman.
If anyone is wondering how this might be possible, back in those days we did not have this hyper fixated idea on what people ought to look like. There were no ads or magazines that showed the "perfect" body, and only the rich and upper class had access to decent education. So it would have been fairly for both men and women to appear and act as the opposite gender. Either because they were trans, a spy, being rebellious, whatever.
Wow thank for spending your time to write this I found it very interesting and I hope you have a great week 😀
Very interesting! ^^
One of the good things about living in those times... Nobody flags you for being gender non-conforming, especially if you can give them a convincing enough story/excuse.
@@dannyfoxboi agreed
Thank you for talking about all the other things that can happen in the long term after getting covid. I'm so tired of the antivaxxers and covid conspiracy crap. I lost a dear friend to it in 2020. Her daughter was three years old. She should be five now. She's not going to remember her mom who loved her so damn dearly. My roommate and I got it in January of this year (2022). I walked with a cane for five months every day because I was dizzy all the time and was in in a fibromyalgia flare up ten times worse than it ever had been without an ease or stopping. I don't remember a day without pain anymore. I still have phantom smells, still have issues with taste and small as a whole. And then there's my roommate. Their fibro got worse too, but the kicker is that they had severe stomach and intestinal problems all year and only just got diagnosed with celiac's disease barely a month ago. We don't know if they're correlated or just shitty luck, but I know a lot of people after having had covid getting things like diabetes when it doesn't run in their family at all and have never been at risk for it. There's so much we don't know about covid and what it does to the body and people need to take this shit way more seriously than "Oh it's fake" or "Oh I'm so tired of this stuff" because covid is not going away and it's extremely disrespectful to those of us who survived or lost loved ones to it.
Also, regarding the sex toy lock one, if your partner doesn't like that you don't want to have sex and either coerces or does something like that, LEAVE THEM. Shit like that led to my ex raping me repeatedly until I got out because he thought he was owed sex. Nobody is worth that, and anyone who tries that shit is clearly not mature enough for a relationship let alone sex.
I am sorry you had to go through that did your ex get arrested?
@@primeyoriichi sadly no. The area we lived in didn't care and I had "no proof" because his uncle lived with us and would back him up on shit. I spent 6 years in hell and came out with PTSD and can't stand for a partner to touch me intimately or even a doctor for a pap even after therapy. But I am safe (moved to the other side of the country with the kitten I rescued, two suit cases, and a backpack), I'm happier than I've ever been, and living with my best friend and our four kitties (the kitten i moved with is now five years old. He's got nothing but air and love in his little head). i'm still working through things in therapy. Healing isn't linear. I appreciate you asking. He'll never serve time, but I did hear that he had an accident at his work a couple months after I left and couldn't use his leg for a year so i guess the universe or luck or whatever helped out.
This reminds me of my ex that hid my vibrator as he was feeling jealous towards my sex toys 🤣🤣🤣
