54:00 For the start of Nick's Island bit (48:00 for full context) (56:00 for the rant) 1:04:30 For the reprise 1:59:20 For the start of the second reprise One of the most brilliant bits from Nick in the recent past. Props to Ryab for always having great synergy with Nick's improv, Malf for bringing the subject in and keeping it moving with even more non-sense, and Rob for sharing his love for science.
Rob's love of science is my favourite recent NLSS development. You'd think it would be Biologist/Teacher Ryan or "But what about entropy?" Nick, but no, "I use paper plates because they're easier" Robert the Raccoon is the one who fucking loves science.
According to research done in 2012 cell phones don't mess with anything on the plane, but they are banned on planes because when your accessing the towers from the air the signal bounces off multiple towers at once as opposed to just one therefor slowing down the cell service for everyone else but not by much they are banned because if thousands of people were doing it it would become noticeably slower so there is no danger in fact many airlines in Europe and Asia allow phone service on planes. It wouldn't even make sense for it to interfere the plane runs on a satellite signal and the phones run using cell towers.
Nick is right though, you don't own anything beyond what you can defend and claim. However, what he is missing is the emergent properties of a society. If I can get 100 gold bars, then even if I am weak I will probably be able to defend it, because I can hire two big-ass bodyguards to guard that shit 24/7. hell I could probably afford to hire some vikings to go pillage your ass and bring me _your_ gold. and the vikings will do it because they want the stability of a consistent paycheck. Now that I have bodyguards and vikings working for me, I need someone to feed those guys, so I hire a farmer and a baker to make us bread. then some guy from the next town over threatens to come take my shit, so I have my guys build a big-ass wall to keep that fucker out. now more people are coming to me because even beyond the paycheck I can now offer them the safety of my castle walls, and the food made by my farmer and baker. If there is someone in my castle selling jewelry I can demand a cut of that money for the service of offering her safety and food. and if she refuses I have the vikings rough her up a bit. eventually this happens with everyone in the town and I become a lord taxing my people. This goes on until modern society, where the kings have been overthrown but the kingdoms have taken on a life of their own. now instead of the king paying the vikings with tax-money, the people pay tax money to fund a police force that will apply the laws they have agreed upon for everybody, because we decided that it was more beneficial this way. so now if you want to break the rules everyone else agreed on you have the police and military (groups specifically dedicated to countering people like you) come after you. Because you know you _can't_ defeat all of society you have to play within it's rules, since that is the only way you can defend what is yours (this is an evolution from beating people over the head with rocks when they try to steal your shit, to working at a company so you can keep paying the government to keep your shit), so you develop the rules of society that we all agreed to live by. When you break it down to it's constituent parts that IS all it is. But by doing so you are oversimplifying it. if fighting for what is yours is the game, then society is the result of the Metagame. and if you ignore the metagame you are going to get your ass kicked in PvP.
I have actually been enlightened. This is well informed and quite rational, and explains the entirety of the argument in a clever analogy that even touches into simple videogame terms. Upvote.
According to the original homesteading theory, you cannot just claim land to acquire ownership, you have to make an improvement/work the land. So in the case of Mars, you have to go to Mars and live their and improve the land. Than theoretically you would own the land that you worked.
"Condor is the label given to the extremely rare, almost impossible score of 4-under-par for a single hole. As of 2012, four generally accepted condors have been recorded, all involving aces on par-5 holes. Some courses have par-6 holes, so it’s also possible for a golfer to score a condor by completing a par-6 in two strokes, but the feat has never been reported."
The reason given is that cell phone systems depend on frequency reuse, which allows for a dramatic increase in the number of customers that can be served within a geographic area on a limited amount of radio spectrum, and operating a phone at an altitude may violate the fundamental assumptions that allow channel reuse to work. (wikipedia)
THIS FUCKING EGG had a Hierophant card on Caves 1, held it for two rooms, and then dropped it and never picked it back up. EDIT: HE MISSED MOTHER FUCKING GUPPY BOTH GUPPY ITEMS WERE ON THE ITEM TRACKER AND HE DIDN'T PICK UP GUPPY'S PAW HE TOOK SATANIC BIBLE AGGGHHHHHH
mindfreaks46 I was actually just doing the same thing that Rob does on the NLSS, and was completely joking. If anything, you're the one that's uptight and whiny because you can't look past misplays. It was all in jest though
Hey NL, I'm a pilot. Although the aircraft are fairly technologically advanced and the cellular service doesn't necessarily interfere with the en route navigation systems, we're working with 1950s technology and your phone can cause interference with our radios and our ILS systems. Since we use those radios to communicate and navigate approaches to landing when the weather's bad and we can't see outside the aircraft, we ask you to turn your phones into airplane mode. It's for your and my safety. Please don't encourage this.
I agree with NL. I'm also glad that The Mummy isn't doing well, since we don't need more shared universe film franchises. And I'm saying that as someone who's a huge MCU-fan.
You're right Nick, it's absurd that countries have staked claim to land nobody lives on, and you can't go anywhere where SOME country's laws don't apply. Especially when there isn't a single country in the world that doesn't have bullshit laws, like drug prohibition.
I work in a restaurant with a closed kitchen, the part of the kitchen where they prepare the food is always spotless but the part where the dishes are cleaned is disgusting af
watching NL play Goldeneye is one of the scummiest things i have ever seen. That says a lot considering how long i have watched the NLSS. Bravo you scummy egg, bravo.
just saying, I used to work for a company that rented out cherry pickers and they are not all their cracked up to be... especially when they come back from the nug factory and their covered in old raw chicken paste
Well actually, not to be mean or anything but you got it a little wrong. The way I thought it is transcribed was: D-th-l-(ks/x)-p-s-f-ps-o Anyways, I guess because he didn't reply, it's a mystery.
I semi-agree with Nick on the island thing. It is true that the concept of ownership when it comes to immovable objects is based upon the owners ability to enforce that ownership. Though it isn't usually done through direct use of force (i.e. actually fighting someone for ownership) but instead through an indirect promise of force should someone claim something of yours without your consent. This is what laws are, a promise that, if broken, the government will act forcefully on the person(s) breaking that promise. What good is ownership if it cannot be defended in such a way? It might as well not even exist. Think of it like this: If the USA theoretically one day decided to take over Vancouver, what would Canadas claim of ownership matter if (again, theoretically) neither them, the people of Vancouver, the UN or any other institution didn't defend it through some use of force to drive americans out of there or start a war with them? It sounds to me like Nick is getting at the idea that this whole system of thought is stupid, and that land instead should just be owned by the people using that land. This is not that radical a notion, it's an idea that's been floating around at least since the 19th century.
20 minutes in and NL got something factually wrong about a law case and as a former CJ student I need to correct this. A DUI (driving under the influence) doesn't mean alcohol (which is referred to as a DWI aka driving while intoxicated), it means drugs and Tiger Woods said himself that he was taking different prescription drugs that wound up being a bad mix and he became severely disoriented. And don't use your phone on a plane you darn Egg. :P
"You've gone from 'everyone should be equal' to 'everyone should have nothing', and I don't even know what kind of political ethos that is." going off past results, Communism
Hell no to mobilephones on airplanes. I already get too much information I never wanted to know about on train rides, I really don't need that experience on a multihour flight with no possibility of getting away.

Wertsir yeah but what about entropy
This seems very Hobbesian and outdated.
I love this show, it's so fun to listen to

"Endo and The Wiz" got me good
I really can't imagine Nick making a rowboat by hand.
Or surviving for any prolonged period in isolation from society.
thanks for giving me a distraction from exam study egg
uhm strimmer, * adjusts glasses * that's actually golf it, not golf with your friends..
It is actually bothering the hell out of me for some reason!
Witty Mcmitterschmidt I thought it was Vertiginous golf.
THIS FUCKING EGG had a Hierophant card on Caves 1, held it for two rooms, and then dropped it and never picked it back up.
EDIT: HE MISSED MOTHER FUCKING GUPPY
BOTH GUPPY ITEMS WERE ON THE ITEM TRACKER
AND HE DIDN'T PICK UP GUPPY'S PAW
HE TOOK SATANIC BIBLE
AGGGHHHHHH
edit: he left a spirit heart he had for free in the shop
Stetson Graham i was looking for this comment, it annoyed me so much.
EDIT: I'm a wittle baby who hones in on other people's errors instead of my own because it's too harsh of a reality to bare, waah. Kappa
MrAxures you sound like the bitch here.
mindfreaks46 I was actually just doing the same thing that Rob does on the NLSS, and was completely joking. If anything, you're the one that's uptight and whiny because you can't look past misplays. It was all in jest though
Sick docket
Nick was pretty on today.
I've been lied to. The last docket is not Golf With Your Friends. *RIOT!!!!!!*
According to my boss, the price of lettuce is actually going up. We had to start making our salads smaller because of it
QUAD A+ DOCKET ON MY BDAY LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
Troy Hiatt happy birthday bud
"Nick becomes a Fire Emblem antagonist"
Finally, something to do on Finals Day.
What's this "Isaac" game? I think I knew what it was once, but it's been so long since I've seen it on an NLSS...
Yes. Please do some table top simulator in the nlss sometime!!
Excited to play Mewgenics huh? I forgot how long everyone has been waiting 😂 been a bit…….
Actually Nick there are still places in the US where you can technically homestead. Not many and not very desirable but still out there.
I wish more people were playing battleborn
24:30 ruined guppy dream
Simon Rusch ikr I was saying the whole time "guppy, guppy, guppy"
So if you built a rocket and flew to pluto and colonized it would you own pluto?
So in the thumbnail, who is getting the tattoo? lol, im sorta new to this group

Communist-Annihilist Nek is the best thing ever.

Rob and sinvicta sound almost exactly alike all the time and sometimes I confuse Rob and Baer's voice
Yo NL, I live in Gatineau near Ottawa, and like, houses are around 250,000-300,000$, a 400,000$ house is like, a big house
I agree with NL. I'm also glad that The Mummy isn't doing well, since we don't need more shared universe film franchises. And I'm saying that as someone who's a huge MCU-fan.
Quadocket
didn't Steven page leave the barenaked ladies
What's the thumbnail based on?
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lets GOOOO
You're right Nick, it's absurd that countries have staked claim to land nobody lives on, and you can't go anywhere where SOME country's laws don't apply. Especially when there isn't a single country in the world that doesn't have bullshit laws, like drug prohibition.
46:40

12:55 protest the hero lyric :D
NL is the biggest ancap leader
I just realized Golf With Your Friends has the same music as Kindergarten...
You used to have to go airplane mode in hospitals
I am sometimes so vicariously embarrassed for nick when he speaks.
Normally I don't comment about NL's issac play but my god it was so bad and he missed so much on his first run xD drove me nuts Haha
taco bell isn't to blame for your weight bear, it's all your fault, also you put your headphones on backwards, the wire has to be on your left.
Please, whatever deity that's out there tell me that NL doesn't believe that "leave your phone on on the airplane" trash
watching NL play Goldeneye is one of the scummiest things i have ever seen. That says a lot considering how long i have watched the NLSS. Bravo you scummy egg, bravo.
Nick sounds super high
It's a *Q U A D D O C K E T*
Isn't endo and the wiz just snoop and wiz khalifa?
24:00 He is about to skip guppy
I guess NL has never heard f Ice-T's metal band called Body Count, and their current single- No Lives Matter.
strange docket
Krokodil maybe strange cause gangbeasts dies and goes to heaven
Nick is an anarchist without realising it
just saying, I used to work for a company that rented out cherry pickers and they are not all their cracked up to be... especially when they come back from the nug factory and their covered in old raw chicken paste
take your meds, Nick.
What is your username supossed to be, Dthlxpsfpso?
Dthlepsphchio? I have no idea.
Well actually, not to be mean or anything but you got it a little wrong.
The way I thought it is transcribed was:
D-th-l-(ks/x)-p-s-f-ps-o
Anyways, I guess because he didn't reply, it's a mystery.
quad docket? what are people talking about? All I see is "Gang Beasts / Goldeneye: Source / Golf With Your Friends"
24:34 i CANNOT be the only one triggered by him completely ignoring guppy's paw when he had two guppy items
Yall know the rules about making your own country rught
I cant tell when Nick is playing a character or actually being stupid/insane anymore.
NL has never had good spaghetti? how can this be? spaghetti is the single easiest meal to make outstanding. go eat good spaghetti you egg
The Detroit disrespect is real I see. #PJSalt
Wew lad
Listening to nick harp on that island subject was torture. I know he plays a character sometimes but sometimes I wonder about him
you
God bless that island argument
Is nick like perma-high?
I semi-agree with Nick on the island thing. It is true that the concept of ownership when it comes to immovable objects is based upon the owners ability to enforce that ownership. Though it isn't usually done through direct use of force (i.e. actually fighting someone for ownership) but instead through an indirect promise of force should someone claim something of yours without your consent. This is what laws are, a promise that, if broken, the government will act forcefully on the person(s) breaking that promise. What good is ownership if it cannot be defended in such a way? It might as well not even exist.

I know that NL probably knows the actual situation because of how old this is. Still though what an egg.
