    Welcome to the channel where good jokes are banned. Good topics, though: we're all about those. If you have a good topic, we want it--so much that we'll reward you with an exclusive, ultra-cool HAI t-shirt if we use your topic suggestion. Submit your ideas for the next HAI video here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

      It's the 2nd video in a row where he had leftist talking points in it. I've seen literally every one of his videos. Big fan. I've never seen him do this before and I'm really, really hoping it doesn't become a trend of yet another Woke virtue signaller. I don't think a channel that is about random stuff should be political talking points in it. I watch stuff like this because the news makes me sick because it's all bias opinion pieces and honestly makes you dumber. I don't want to hear talking points from either side. I would be equally bummed if he mentioned snowflakes. I don't want to know the political opinions of my RUclipsrs unless it's a political show.

(also this argument sucks because if you apply it to anything else, it falls apart, like knives, i mean they're dangerous too right? why give civilians the ability to have something so dangerous, let's ban them like the UK and we'll be all safe and good.... ye, except when you need to cook something lol)

      no? the second amendment was made so the government could easily call on militias if need be, as that was the primary army in the revolutionary war and 1812. The idea that it says “No ban guns” is a fairly recent interpretation of the amendment. It was never about securing the ability to rebel against the state, that’s a myth.

    Good on you for saying something regarding the fact that it's a highway because the state says so- thusly making people question how highways are state-based when they're federal, do a little research, and realize that they are, in fact, thinking of the interstate.

    I think the most interesting thing about Mackinac Island is that it is shut off from the outside during the winter. You cant get on or off the island without a helicopter/plane(they have a small municipal airport), and the price of a lot of normal things is super expensive. It is like a tinier version of Barrow, Alaska.
