      So I'll explain it for your small brain to comprehend.
      Acting is the behaviour of playing a role, pretending, a false persona
      ... Yeah? You get it.
      You are not acting, if you are already good at doing the act 'naturally' it's just 'being'.

    Suggestion for the next video: Xerox research center inventing the desktop environment, Steve Jobs visiting the center and prompltly having an aneurysm by realizing that the company sat on the future of computing without doing anything, and immediately proceeding on copying Xerox and subsequently releasing the Macintosh. Bill Gates did the same through hiring former Xerox employees, leading to the release of Windows. Jobs filed a lawsuit accusing Gates of stealing, to which Gates responded: “It seems more like we had a wealthy neighbor named Xerox together, and when I broke into his house to take the TV, I discovered that you had already taken it”.

      Nope, the Adidas vs Puma feud was the real one. It is still there today, but not that extreme anymore, i grew up near their HQs (that were pretty close to each other) and you could get into real trouble for showing up with the wrong shoes for work there. Not sure if you still can get fired upon wearing pumas at adidas HQ, but back then that was a real thing.

      @@ankurmehrotra6506 Adidas was formed after the war, 1949 I think, same year as the BRD.
      Adolf and his brother Rudolf started making sports shoes in the Twenties. In 1936 the brothers were still working together as Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory. After the war, they had a falling out, and Adolf started Adidas, Rudolf started Puma.
      While you are technically correct, saying 'Owens ran in Adidas shoes' is a shortcut to indicating that Owens used a German shoe brand without having to explain about the connection between Dassler (which nobody knows) and Adidas (which everybody knows).
