      @fishhuntadventure 4 дня назад +1

      While true, the fact is that most people don’t express comprehension either by listening or reading because they read clickbait I mean headlines as if the headline reflects an unequivocal truth.
      On the bright side it appears that many are beginning to listen/read and think for themselves again, evaluating that information before drawing a conclusion. I base that observation partly on what is for some an uncomfortable example that includes a bipartisan departure from trends over the last 25 years or so: the results of the 2024 presidential elections.
      On the other hand, part of this wonky trend of people responding to headlines versus the content itself is evidence of people in general mistrusting nearly every source of information due to the shenanigans we’ve seen over the last eight or ten years- although admittedly an ‘early’ indicator of this current trend can probably be seen in the successful ‘tea party’ candidates of 2008.

      I think this is true with people who play video games a lot, they tend to think they know how those lines of code they want to have the pixel action they want will interact with the code base that exists for the game. I feel like this is what causes servers to go down for hours so they can fix code interactions that show up after the server goes live again.
      They also don't realize that the user loads of the test server and the live ones they play on are different, hence the different behavior of a few lines of code that were just added to the game.
      I think that last part is true going both ways. That one is truly a two-way street. Though the user is truly a lack of behind the scenes knowledge. I guess on the games (mainly mobile and online games) front most players just see a 'working' game and think it works by 'magic', therefore believing that "eh, those lines of code I want won't hurt."

    I live in Vegas, and yes it is a law. Not State, not city, but County. The Strip is NOT in Vegas. It’s in Clark County. The ordinance was primarily passed to keep street performers from setting up shop on the bridge, but they unfortunately used a shot gun approach to it. If you’d like to look it up yourself it’s Clark County NV. Code 16.13 pedestrian flow zones.

    • @thatShadowKat
      @thatShadowKat 5 дней назад +17

      I too live here and can confirm it is also a law/ordinance for Clark County. What I don't agree with is the absolute melodramatic reactions from people saying "I have a heart condition, I can be arrested if I stop" or some other thing that no police officer would arrest someone for.
      But yes, it was passed due to street performers, water/beer re-sellers, escort-pamphlet slappers, and the like. But it also has to be broad enough to deal with.... say if there were a group of ne'er-do-wells (gang members, or even as we witness elsewhere the environmental activists that like to block streets -- not to say that'll ever happen here, but it is something to think about).
      I haven't tried to look in to the 122 people that have been arrested and the extenuating circumstances around their arrest, but if people are being arrested for taking a photo or a health issue, then it is incumbent upon LVMPD to tell their officers there is some leeway in enforcement. Heck, we already have people running red lights, driving without plates, and the cops do nothing. The law was necessary but also the police need to show some brains in enforcing it.
      And in closing, I do like the law. I'm one of the few locals that go to the strip at least 3-4 times a week to get a good walk in, watch people, enjoy the scenery.

      I also live in Vegas and am happy the law was passed. My brother in law almost got his leg chewed off by a passed out homeless guys pitbull. It lunged at him and luckily the leash was hooked underneath the guy so the dog didn't get him but it still rattled all of us pretty badly.
      When my mother came to visit in 2022 a man was passed out long ways across the middle of the bridge.
      The police are not stationed on the bridge 24/7 hassling everyone *Move along*. They only show up there if called or patrolling.
      During the races it was near impossible to cross on footlet alone a wheelchair. Bystanders of the race refused and I mean that to the fullest, they refused to move.
      The law is/was neccessary because selfish people exist on this earth. As cynical as you are Steve I'd think youd catch onto that part pretty quickly.
      People also like to just setup huge tripods on the walkway and film. Not a selfy like the example you gave in the first video Steve. Over your shoulder camera equipment blocking people for hours.
      You got so much feedback because you failed to use rational thought. How many people use those crosswalks every day??? 120+ tickets??? Do the math.

    I recently saw the video featuring the retired consumer attorney who was accused of taking a replacement TV. The incident highlights poor communication between the store's managers. One manager said it was okay but another manager contradicted them stating that if the attorney left the store with the TV they would be arrested.
    The email you received which claimed their friend works there said it doesn't happen that way. Maybe it hasn't happened at their store but obviously it has happened; otherwise there wouldn't have been an interview with the attorney.

    I have actually worked at Wal-Mart ( not in electronic) but more importantly I have worked retail for decades and as a manager.
    1. Store brands bring in the biggest profit margins and as such they will push those brands for sale hard . The reverse is also true , if 1 gets accidentally destroyed it isn't as expensive to replace as a name brand .
    2. Most managers will bend over backwards to make a customer happy , because 1 angry customer that had a bad experience will easily tell everyone they know , post it on x , Facebook, RUclips and tiktok. While if you give them a good experience it is harder to get them do the same thing .
    The story about the TV makes perfect sense. The guy was still barely under warranty, it was a store brand . Now the reason this is even a story is because the one maneger sent the cops after a customer and sadly that makes perfect sense too. That is clearly a store of people not communicating with each other.

I had done some work on the fund and was familiar with their numbers. The numbers reported by the media were completely made up. I don't think the reporters just maliciously invented numbers, but their source was giving them bad information. It can happen, but in your case the actual attorney affected commented on your video and Walmart issued a statement.

    Army and Navy or tied a shoe you got a ticket ASAP if you question the cop you could get arrested! Hamilton St back then was a Cruising Circuit people hung out looking at cars and socializing, very few issues. They changed one way street directiona to make it difficult. Put up no cruising signs. The town of Potstown was also a hang out that that tried to make it illegal to be there but fortunately Hot Rod magazine highered lawyers to fight it and won. Allentown wasn't so Lucky 😮 it became gang riddled when the cruisers gave up 😢😢. So yeah i can see this happening in Vegas..

Also, many street performers are wearing disgusting get-ups and many tourists are not comfortable getting that close to them. I fully support the law.
