@@amyhoops5885 because to them 'pronoun' means 'transgender,' and they hate transgender people because the far right talking heads told them they're the evil thing du jour.
Being annoyed by pronouns becoming fully customisable to the point where you don't even know how to talk about people without upsetting them is understandable, and people who impose this on others are just douchebags, but seeing the people in these posts try to fight against a part of speech is just sad
Even if they were just thinking he/him, she/her, or they/them, they’re *still* wrong! In Isaiah 53:5 it says « *He* was pierced because of *our* rebellions and crushed because of *our* crimes. *He* bore the punishment that made *us* whole; by *his* wounds *we* are healed. » Just to give one example
The "they/them" argument regarding grammar and how it can be used for singular/plural really hits close to home. I once had that exact argument with someone who insisted vehmently that they/them is only used for plural and kept telling me how their dad was a professor of english and somehow this fact made them correct. It wasn't until almost a week later that they apologised and retracted their stance on the matter. It turns out they finally asked their father and he corrected them on the matter. Major LOL
I had an English teacher in high school that would dock points off our papers if we used they/them about a singular person. If the person's gender wasn't specified, we had to say "one."
The "overcoming homosexuality" thing is NOT Wikipedia. It's the 'conservative alternative' to Wikipedia, written almost entirely by one person with very dumb opinions and illusions about life

One can see where the OP might have gotten that impression though. 'Homo' is greek for "similar" or "the same". So the root for the first part of words like homosexual, homophobic and homo sapiens are the same (no pun intended). The literal meaning would thus be that you are afraid or have some aversion to people that are "the same" or "similar" to yourself. Of course in homo sapiens it's 'the same' species, and in homosexual it's 'the same' gender and in homophobia it's 'phobia' against people who are homosexuals. And if that doesn't make total linguistic sense it's because none of these terms were actually coined by ancient greeks.
@@stoferb876 this makes talking about the hetero-normativ society hilarious if you know the root, (it's called hetero-normativ in swedish, no clue about the english name.)
@@stoferb876 I mean, kind of, but there is just one small detail that I'd correct there, Although Homo in homosexual and homophobic do come from Greek, which can mean "equal" "same" "one", Homo in Homo Sapiens comes from Latin, which means "Man", Homo Sapiens sapiens is the subgender of human, which means something along the lines of "The man who knows he knows" Sapien can be translated as "knowledge" that's why Sapiens sapiens, humans not only are intelligent, but they are aware of this intelligence. Basically what the name tries to say is that "other animals may perform acts of intelligence, but humans are the only ones to question why they do it, the only ones that think about the reason for doing it."
"There are no pronouns in the Bible" Either they have no idea what a pronoun is, or they have never actually read the Bible. Or both. Very likely could be both.
The same person said that there's no pronouns in the constitution and made a rant about how she has never used a pronoun in her life. She used eleven pronouns in that rant.
Also which version of the bible? I think ancient Greek has only one pronoun for he/she/it, maybe that's what they meant. (At one point a lot of the new testament was written in greek)

19:25 - "Homophobia" was coined as a phobia because the psychologist researching it (George Weinberg) believed the aversion, anger and hatred towards homosexuals stemmed from a fear of being perceived as homosexual yourself. It didn't make sense to me either until I learned this fact, maybe it helps someone in a future debate!
phobia can also refer to a hatred of or aversion from. for example, the word hydrophobic refers to a quality of something that means it ‘hates’ water. this is why the word homophobia makes sense to me.
Had an argument with an anti-abortion ex once who told me if I ever tried to make her have an abortion, she'd kill me. All I said was she, and anyone else who might need an abortion, deserves the right to get one if they want. IF THEY WANT. These people can't imagine a scenario in which nobody is a victim. If their "enemies" aren't the victims of oppression, they assume they're going to be, no matter what you say. It's kinda sad.
So she probably seen abortion as "murder" so she threatened someone who said someone else should be able to get an abortion if they want to with murder that is ironic
Im more than fine talking to religious people about any topic including the bible, but its really weird just how many "bible students" seem to know less about their book than an atheist. Like how has this even happened?
@@atrane365 Look up a digital copy and spend the next few weeks removing the pronouns, have it printed to look like any other bible, then send it to your family. If that was a joke, I think it would be funny to do anyway. (and could probably be a business opportunity as many would buy it just for the joke)
Not only are there pronouns in the Bible, they're often emphasized, since any pronouns referring to God or Christ are capitalized. The sacred text of the Christian religion literally glorifies pronouns.
You could say that LOL how do so many people not know what pronouns are. OOF. German actually has a German word for pronouns "Fürwörter" (for words) explaining the function of pronouns quite well, they stand in for words. (It's primary school terminology though)
Not only that, but God is clearly gender-fluid or trans. Given the references to them as She sometimes and He in other stories, and the 3 identities (are those representing the divine masculine, feminine, and a mix maybe?)
@@jgbreezer pretty sure humans used language they understand to describe something that isn’t understandable. God isn’t trans because it doesn’t make sense as a concept for the creator of the universe to have a gender at all.
When I was in Japan told a Japanese friend that Yukata looked really pretty. Her reaction was to basically drag me to the nearest store to buy one. Never had anyone comment on "cultural appropriation" just because I wore something that people commonly wear to summer festivals etc. If anything, got compliments and tips on how to make it easier to put on.
Appreciation and appropriation are different things, and people would benefit from knowing the difference. Appreciation is taking in the culture and knowing the culture all while crediting where it came from; such as wearing a yukata in Japan during festivals. Appropriation is taking a culture, typically things people have been demonised for, and claiming it as yours; such as wearing a protective style made for black hair, which would be seen as "unprofessional", and claiming that a white person had made it, all while not being demonised or seen as "unprofessional".
@@gayjayy Yes ... as long as you don't claim something is a 'black' hairdo, when millennia ago it was infact created in India (Rasta) or in Ancient Rome (Cornrows). Just saying. Sometimes people mean well when they talk about CA, but most of them reveal themselves to be seriously ignorant.
@@OrontesRM Right. Even marginalised cultures can appropriate. But I meant stuff like box braids and such, which originated in Africa by black peoples.
@@gayjayy The assholes ruin it for everyone. I absolutely love box braids, they are beautiful. My lily white booty couldn't get away with wearing them. I remember a college psychology professor telling the class that she was told to cut out her dreds because she would never be taken seriously with them. That woman was the most no non-sense professional I have ever met. I hadn't even considered her hairstyle until she mentioned it, her whole aura was "professional." On another note, besides hair, 'urban style' and Native American art has also suffered from CA. Literally copying/stealing the art and style to profit off of it, smh
@@gayjayy Without going as far as saying "appropriate". Lots of basic things were discovered multiple times by people with no contact. Bread and pasta for instance. The wheel. Protective hairstyles for work days (most cultures were working fields extensively at one point in their history, no people are immune to dirt). Mortar. Dang, even Orang-Outangs recently entered the stone-age, I don't think we can say they "appropriated paleolithic human culture".

Well, Jesus hasn't been seen in about 2000 years, so if its all the same to you I'll stick to anti-depressants until he shows up, thank you very much. Now use that little pad to write me a prescription because you obviously weren't using it to take notes about my diagnosis.
"overcoming homosexuality", I have a cousin who tried so hard to be straight, he even got married and had a kid, but it didn't work out for him, now he is dating a guy and is much happier with him.
Oh, that's good! Poor kid and wife though. Not that it's your cousin's fault! If anything, it's the fault of the people who pressured him into acting straight.
@@postagestamp8365 In fact, it's much more complicated. Sexual orientation depends not only on biology but also on society. In ancient Greece, bisexuality among men was generally accepted. Zeus was the prime example of this. The same principle applies to polygamy. One often speaks of social monogamy, because people tend to be interested in several partners. So, strictly speaking, humans are not a monogamous species, it is their choice. So you can very well make a decision contrary to your biology and choose your sexuality. Whether you'll be happy with that decision is another question. And being bisexual is very easy. Technically speaking, it is enough to imagine a relationship with one woman and one man. This shows you are interested in both sexes and you are bi by definition. I don't know your cousin and I don't know what his relationship with his wife was like, but somehow it seems to have worked. Other couples break up too. So it sounds to me very much like your cousin is not homosexual but actually bisexual. Otherwise, the relationship with a woman should never have worked because he didn't find her attractive at all. Maybe it would have worked with a woman who has a different character/body?
@@Jasmin-lg3gf No you can't choose your sexuality, I literally study psychology at university and we've covered this topic extensively.

Basically, cis gals, cis guys, both, neither, female @ birth gaining male traits naturally, male @ birth gaining female traits naturally, female @ birth gaining male traits via human intervention, male @ birth gaining female traits through intervention. While in the Classical through late Medieval sense, this includes groups like eunuchs and breast cancer patients (very old procedure, mastectomy), it eerily mirrors modern trans people. Note that none of these groups are seen as lesser or greater than others. In fact, there's a Talmudic midrash that suggests the very first person was androgynos, with two faces, who later split into Ha'Adam (Adam) and Chava (Eve).
I was doing research for an essay about pederasty, and I came across one article that included a funny passage of one guy's "argument" against acceptance of homosexuality. That being-- this very homophobic man was concerned about all the poor, lonely single women that would be left behind by the massive influx of men getting together. His belief was that OF COURSE men would jump at the chance to go out with another guy, and once they do they'll feel unsatisfied by anything their wives could provide them. In other words, he argued that it wasn't that god said it was wrong, but that women will have a hard time finding and holding onto men if homosexuality becomes socially acceptable. Quite a... different... take on the matter. Interesting... Though it felt more revealing about himself than anything else.
It's very rare to find someone else use the term pederasty. Pretty much constantly have to use the term paedophilia colloquially. Attempting explain that there even is a difference is often looked upon with extreme suspicion, if not outright hostility in my experience.
@@torgranael I guess pederasty fits more into hebephilia or ephebophilia, which are usually words I see people get all suspicious about if you try to differentiate them from paedophilia. I get that sometimes it's not relevant to the conversation if people are talking about child abuse in a specific case (y'know, don't act like a "know it all" or try to show off that you DO know the differences) but it does kind of bother me on a "correctness" level when people refer to all sexual interest in people who are underage "pedophilia" when an adult having sexual interest in 8- versus 18-year-olds is VASTLY different in terms of psychology.
@@Random-sk6hm I don't have a source for this so it could be bs, but as far as I know, it's correct. It used to be that the existence of lesbians was so unthinkably against God that it's simply impossible. It's also speculated that this was started by a woman in power (one of England's queens, but not the most recent) so that no-one would look into the matter and execute her for crimes against god. It's entirely possible that such a belief could be passed down if they've been shielded from reality enough.
@@mastermarkus5307 I could be wrong on all this, I was just piecing the bits of my current knowledge with what I found after a few quick searches. If I had to guess why paedophilia (as opposed to hebephilia and ephebophilia) is used so readily, even when not accurate, I'd say that the introduction of the 'teenager' and 'adolescent' stages are why, along with a lackluster push to get more terms out (paedophile being an older, already established word). Paedophilia refers to prepubescents now, the people we call 'children' today. However, go back a century, and anyone who wasn't of age was considered a child, and attraction to said children made you a paedophile. You were either an adult or a child, with no in between. While the definition of paedophile remains the same now as when it was coined, at the time, there was no casually used separation between children and adolescents, so 'paedophile', used for children, ended up including adolescents and teens too, just out of common association. Today we have those terms, and different words to describe people sexually attracted to those groups. However, the idea of a social (not biological, we already had that) stage between child and adult was primarily used as a marketing tactic, so words like 'teen' got pushed a lot, whilst the associated terms (hebephilia and ephebephilia) weren't pushed so hard (because how would you go about marketing those terms?). So paedophile kept being used for those attracted to people not of age.
Oh, the whole "wearing Japanese clothing items is appropriation", yet when we do, the Japanese generally love it. There is a whole business there that dresses people up in very traditional outfits, and takes photos, and it's common in Kyoto, where people visit to check out that whole "ye olden Japan" vibes. Most people do it out of respect, or to blend in during their stay in a foreign country. And... there are non-Asian people in Japan who don't know any other language than Japanese, and were born and raised in Japan, and it's the only culture they know. Telling them they can't participate in the culture they grew up in is ridiculous. Do we tell people not from America that they can't wear t-shirts and jeans, because that's "Western cultural appropriation"? I HAD to once, was going to a festival in the city I was visiting, and my Japanese friend demanded that I wear a yukata, because it'd be disrespectful if I didn't. My American friend had to wear Japanese kimono when she married her Japanese husband, and had to get traditional wedding-style photos.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the people who generally have a problem with "cultural appropriation" are white people trying to police what other white people can wear. Again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
@@lisaty5937 The issue varies depending on the group. The fabric used for jeans (real ones, not modern elastic stuff made by children in warehouses), was inspired by the attempts to reproduce a specific late medieval fabric the Genoese (from Genoa, in Italy, at the time an independant city-state) invented for boat sails, sailor clohing and army tents. They made a fortune selling it and were pretty pissed the French managed to come close to it with what we call today "Denim" fabric, derivation of "De Nîmes", in french, ("From Nimes", a city in Southern France). I've met Italians (from Genoa) that held an "ancestral grudge" about it. The second "grudge" partly stems from class struggles, with a tinge of nationalism if you're in France. Denim used to be worn by blue-collars (the blue collar from Denim overalls). As it became trendy thanks to american branding (mainly Levi's), prices grew, making it unapproachable for actual blue collars (hence the grudge). Think of it as gentrification for clothing they needed to work. In France, you can add a pinch of general motivated or unmotivated grudges towards the USA because they "stole their invention". Neither situation is super wide-spread, but some small groups feel VERY strongly about it.
The "gender" (or "no gender") thing comes from people having the audacity to want to be adressed with certain pronouns. This goes against the God-given right of people to use the pronouns _they_ want to use. It basically tells these people that they are wrong, and being told to be wrong is an offense of the highest order. (/sarcasm) But seriously: it is exactly that. If someone wanted to adress my here, without using the name, they would have to decide on some pronoun. Most people do make that decision, based on whatever preference they use. For example, people have that notion that most people using the internet are male, so they use the male pronoun by default. "Groffili is very smart. His comments make sense." They don't know if they are correct or not. I could be female and thus want to be told that "her comments make sense". So I might tell them my preferred pronouns. "My pronouns are she/her." (Note for friendly minded people: this is just as an example. _My_ pronouns are "he/his".) Most people are able to accept such a correction... but this acceptence is based on just how deeply held the initial process of evaluation is. These people might be able to accept "Oh, a random person on the internet that I do know nothing about except their non-standard name is of a different gender than I assumed." But these same people might not be able to do that for "But this person has an established male/female name", or even worse "But this person does not look, behave or have attributes that I connect with male/female." They reject being told the correct pronouns in such a case, widen that to being told pronouns in general... and for the most stubborn (and ignorant) deny the existence of pronouns in general.
i also wanna add that we should stop trying to guess what pronouns other use based on appearance. We should just ask the person or try to phrase it more neutrally
You've made me have the need to look into this. Very few comments are intelligent enough to inspire me to study a topic, so I'll commend both that and your intellect.
@@arielruby13 I mean, the vast majority of people have a gender presentation that matches their gender identity, like for example I've personally never met someone whose gender presentation didn't match up with their gender identity (though, then again, it's not like I'm regularly meeting people at all). Not saying I don't think we should respect how people want others to refer to them, but like I don't think people are just gonna stop assuming people's gender based on appearance because it's so ingrained in us socially (and evolutionary, to extent)
19:35 "phobia" means fear in a medical context... but "phobos", the Greek word, has many possible translations, among which "disgust" and "hate". "Homophobia" is built upon "phobos", as is "xenophobia". Those words do not imply the existence of a medical phobia.

Fun Fact: There's hundreds of pronouns in the English language divided into multiple different sub-categories and only about 80 of them are related to gender.
@@atrane365 You could argue linguistically there are no hard rules in living languages. Living languages change according to how it is used by the speakers. We can see this in our life times. "Ain't isn't a word because it isn't in the dictionary." It is a word and has always been a word since speakers used it. Looking at AAVE, African American Vernacular English or "Black English" is another fascinating example. It has clear and consistent rules but those rules go against the larger, more widely spoken American English. So yes, all the grammar rules we were taught in school are all flexible, some more than most
I'm curious what you mean. There are 7 subject pronouns (I, you, we, they, he, she, it), 7 object pronouns (me, you, us, them, him, her, it), and 7 possessive pronouns (mine, yours, ours, theirs, his, hers, it's). Then if we want to count possessive adjectives since they're based on the pronouns anyway, we can add 7 more (my, your, our, their, his, her, its). Only the 3rd person singular pronouns are gendered, so I agree that English has ungendered pronouns, too. But that's only 28... What others are you thinking of?
@@UnicornsPoopRainbows It should be noted that flexible doesn't mean "do whatever". The primary function of language is to communicate. Living languages need some "adjusting" from time to time to keep eveybody on the same page, but these changes become rules in a way.

The tampon misunderstandings make my head hurt. For those who don't know tampons sizes are actually a reference to its absorbency. L or Light holds 3-6g. R or Regular holds 6-9g. S or Super holds 9-12g. S+ or Super Plus holds 12-15g. These things need to be changed every 4 hours or every time a woman urinates (which ever comes first) to reduce the chance of Toxic Shock, so no you can't just put in a super plus and be good for the week. Tampon strings act like a wick and are absolutely impossible to keep out of a urine stream. If that seems like an awful lot of work and consideration just to be able to handle some blood for a week, y'all are going to have your mind blown when you find out what has to be done to handle the rest of the period.
Wait I have a question. I know the sizes are for absorbency, but do they really have nothing to do with "how they fit" for lack of a better term? The tampon ads I see a lot say that you should go a size down if it hurts to put in. Is that wrong? I have never actually used tampons before.
@@beccabaxmeyer8823 If you literally can't get it in, or you're just not comfortable using a larger size, you can use a smaller size and change it more often if you need to. But vaginas are very stretchy. Most of them will have no problem with any of the sizes and the main consideration is how heavy your flow is.
@@beccabaxmeyer8823 More absorbent generally means a larger tampon, and the larger sizes can be uncomfortable or even painful to insert/remove for some people.
It's certainly not impossible to keep the string out of urine stream, just a bit fiddly. However I've not bothered with tampons for ages, just been using a cup for a good fifteen years now so no need to worry about pee getting where it shouldn't, or TSS either. I mean sure, still need to empty it at least twice a day even on a light day, but the risk for TSS is a lot smaller than with tampons. Also much less waste, much cheaper, and doesn't cause dryness. Doesn't suit everyone, but I recommend anyone with periods to at least give it a try if there's no known structural or other issues that would make it impractical.
My school has actually replaced the tutor period with a mental health class where we learn how to deal with depression, suicide, SA, and anxiety and also learn how to stay out of debt, pay taxes and look at housing prices. For a small school that was considered "bad" it's pretty good.
"You can also just vibe to music because it's nice." Yes, THIS. I for some reason have a lot of difficulty understanding the lyrics in songs; it just sounds like noise along with the music, and not like actual words with meaning, unless I pay REAL close attention. So any time I like a song it almost always has nothing to do with the lyrics or message, and only to do with how I think it sounds musically.
You should look into music without lyrics than. You'll probably enjoy that more. Or even just instrumental versions of songs (songs with the lyrics removed).
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I already do everything you just suggested, so way ahead of you XD Although there are some lyrical songs I like that I have in my music playlist, probably about 99% of my music playlist is purely instrumental. And I recall one time hearing an instrumental version of "Hello From the Other Side" and thinking, "Wow, this sounds WAY better!" But I do also sometimes prefer the lyrical version, simply because I prefer the timbre and vocal variation of the human voice over its would-be instrumental replacement.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I've ready found my musical niche, and I've been listening to the exact same type of stuff for many years now and have not tired of it, and have even made a lot of my own music in those styles, though I do deviate from time to time in terms of both what I listen to and what I make. The medium is also a factor on the style. What I typically listen to can be summed up as piano, video game music, or what I like to call "epic orchestral" (I've also heard it referred to as "movie score"; this style very often utilizes acapella choir), maybe with some symphonic metal influence. I also often listen to things that combine these in various ways, like epic orchestral or piano covers of video game music, or piano covers of epic orchestral and vice versa, etcetera. Though, as previously mentioned, I do deviate from time to time, like how I have Ruler of Everything in my playlist.

I agree with the idea of having a class specifically for mental health. In the health classes I've been in, they barely scratch the surface.

If I am reading your comment correctly you are saying that people thought that the 1/3 pound (not inch) burger weighed less than than the 1/4 pound (not inch) burger, that the burger was sold for the same cost (price not prize) & people still didn't buy it because they thought that it was less value per cost, correct?

@@GigabitGigabyte Yoo are correct. The Court of the Lord Lyon, the official heraldic authority for Scotland, has stated that titles bought online have no legal status. Not only is it a scam (like every other business that claims they can sell you a title), it contains multiple levels of falseness. You would not have actually bought that square foot of land: Transfers of land ownership in Scotland must be registered with the Land Registry to be legal - and the Registry explicitly doesn’t accept transfers of souvenir plots too small to be taken possession of and used.
@@peterjf7723 Interesting, I'm also a Scot and I've wondered how it worked. Do they at least plant the trees? Also, by their logic wouldn't everyone in Scotland that owns the land their house is on be a lord? Which I'm guessing isn't true

For the millionth time, "phobia" has more than one definition. It means fear, yes, but it *also* means dislike of or aversion to. This is why I really hate the "homophobia means fear of gay people" argument.
Though to be fair, I think most homophobes ARE afraid of a gay person hitting on them too, let's be real. Especially men - god forbid they get treated the same way those homophobic men tend to treat women, right?
Well the exact definition of phobia is "An extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something." It's mainly the irrational part that makes homophobia a problem.
They are afraid of us, they're scared our simple existence is going to convert every child of the world to gayness and so that we are going to "destroy society" or some shit. So yeah, they're just scared.

14:24 The first "therapist" I went to told me exactly that. He disregarded everything I told him about the extreme distress I was in for various reasons and said it was because I didn't read the bible, pray, or go to church enough. "Mental illness is a foothold of the Devil" he said. He single-handedly made my problems worse and added extra religious guilt. 0/10, do not recommend.
My adopted brother is schizophrenic. He experiences auditory hallucinations that cause him a lot of distress. When he went off to college, a religious recruiter managed to convince him that the voices were real, that they were demons, and that the only way to get rid of them was to stop taking his meds and convert. He went into withdrawal and had a seizure.
I remember when people thought trains would kill you because of how tired you are riding a stage coach, but not realizing a big part of why your tired in a stage coach is the constant bouncing and shifting around that you try to compensate for.

8:38, the grey/gray thing isn't even just different countries. People in both spell grey both ways, just more commonly one way or another in those countries, which makes it even more confusing sometimes.
I've found out that I apparently spell certain things differently than would be expected of me because I'm American. Like I still spell it "color", but I use "grey" and "theatre" when supposedly "gray" and "theater" are more common stateside.
This is how i do it: Grey or gray is based on my mood. Theater is a movie, theatre is live performance. Canceled or cancelled is based on whether there is autocorrect.
"Rage Against the Machine". It's right in the name. The "Machine" is an allegory for the mechanizations of industrialized capitalism and consumerism, the military-industrial complex, etc. I would have assumed anyone who's ever read a book would have picked up on that. Their biggest hit was "Bulls on Parade", that's what put them on the map, and the lyrics are pretty clear about their political leanings. What machine did he think they were raging against? I absolutely love the notion that this guy thought they were just yelling at a toaster, lol. It's a whole band dedicated to toaster hate. Brilliant. Maybe he was listening to "Killing in the name" and misheard the lyrics. "gotta leggo my eggo... gotta leggo my eggo... gotta leggo my eggo... I pressed the slide, it slid down inside It started off as frozen, now it's crispified..."
Honestly someone not really doing their research could think the “machine” is the government.

Since they don’t bother to look under the surface.

11:31 my cousin had to write an essay on 3 different religions. She failed because she did Methodism, Baptismal, and Catholic. When my whole family was “shock and awed” that she failed I mentioned that they’re all forms of Christianity and they scolded me because “no, all those are NOT the same!” And I just gave up after that. There was no point.
Well, they all have very different takes on a lot of ideas, so a Catholic mostly won't mind being called christian, but any protestant doctrine won't like being lumped with Catholocism, and most of those three have different views on big things in the bible, generally using outside sources for certain rules that are important to them, so yes, technically, all of them are "Christian" but they may not all belive the same things about God and Jesus, which is s big deal for a lot of them. So, you are and aren't right. They are christians, but most definetely Not the same christian as another. Protestant doctrines normally don't mind being lumped with each other, but Catholocism uses so many extra biblical stuff that sometimes exaggerates or contradicts the bible(what the claim to be their most important text, oh and they have multiple texts that are used to interpret the bible that arent always right) that most any protestant doctrine or church will take issue being lumped with Catholics. Sorry if this is an info dump.

As a diabetic, diabetes (especially type 1) is (one of?) the only disorder where you regularly calculate the dosage of a medication that could kill you if you calculate it wrong. Before I was on my pump and had to manually calculate it instead of letting a mini calculator do it for me, I regularly messed up my dosage which ended up causing me to be hours from ending up in the ER due to both lows and highs. How to determine if you or a loved one should get checked for diabetes: 1) sweet smelling urine that may also be quite dark; 2) frequent urination (including bed wetting or frequently full diapers); 3) always drinking water; 4) unusually tired - for instance I drank half of a slurpee and fell asleep when most kids would become hyper; 5) insomnia, especially at night; 6) unusual weight loss; 7) mood changes and/or irritability; 8) blurry vision; 9) increased or decreased appetite (most sources only say increased, but I had an extreme decrease in appetite due to feeling sick and filling up on water); 10) wounds and illnesses heal much slower, especially in children. I was lucky that a young girl unfortunately died from undiagnosed diabetes in my mom's hometown which led to my mom knowing the symptoms. She was also home that summer and saw me constantly going between the waters in the fridge and the toilet. I was diagnosed early which avoided DKA, which is very deadly and needs to be treated immediately. Kisses For Kycie (a blog) has a lot of information of what to look out for. It's made by the parents of the little girl and talks about what they wish they knew so they could've saved her.

I am so glad you caught your furbaby's diabetes quickly! We had four cats and didn't notice until it was too late. We'd even just had his bloodwork done two months prior and everything was fine, but between then and when we noticed he was lethargic, there was nothing we could do. His diabetes triggered heart disease with messed with his heart murmur and ended in heart failure that caused four organs to fail. He had literally been acting normal right up until we noticed he wouldn't walk and his breathing was rapid. There was nothing we could have done differently to prevent it. Even the ER vet didn't know why all of that had happened so fast when our other three cats were perfectly normal. It's been almost a month since he passed and I miss him yelling at me to give him his breakfast faster, or screaming at us to go to bed. He was a very loud old man. Malcolm looked just like your kitty. House just isn't the same without him. All we can do is make as good decisions as we can with the information we are given. Still just doesn't seem real.
Established titles is the funniest thing I've ever done in my life. I once made a bet with my siblings where we said first to own land wins. They were talking about land to put a house on but they never said it that way. I found out about this site a month later, bought a foot of land, and won the bet. It cost me a little over 100 dollars in total and my brothers paid me 100 dollars each as was the bet. So I became a lord, and made about 100 dollars. Also Click love your videos
Haha that's funny. The whole concept of becoming a Scottish laird or lady is so funny to me because I'm actually Scottish and it leaves me with so many questions. They say owning land here means you can legally say you're a laird? My parents own their house and land, does that mean they're actually a lord and lady?! It's so bonkers, but I guess it's best not to think about it too much
A mental health class sounds amazing until you think about how a lot of children would learn that they have a mental illness while sitting in a classroom with classmates that might mock them for it and a teacher that is not at all prepared to deal with that.
also, it could trigger people who have or had dealt with any mental problems talked about, which would do the opposite of the intended purpose. i think it would just have to be a balance
@@rosiefay7283 no, I just think this isnt something that should be done in a classroom setting. Mental health is part of your medical history and not everyone wants to share that with the whole class. Thats like outing a gay person in front of the class
@@anikanele7958 Learning about something existing, and being asked/forced to self-identify aren't the same thing though. Using the gay kid example, it would be much healthier for the kid (and all of their classmates) to get a proper education about different sexualities, and learn that it's natural. In the same way, it's good for people of all genders to learn about each other's bodily functions (even if it would deprive us of the amusement of "bad female anatomy" videos).
I took Psychology in high school. I already knew about most of the mental illnesses that we covered. My child was diagnosed with OCD in MS, other students pointed out the signs to her which caused her to finally be willing to talk to her drs about it like I had been encouraging her to do. Not all kids are jerks.
I think it had to do with the teaching that he/she sounds formal while I, we, you doesn't. So therefore it's not a "Pro"fessional noun at a quick glance
Now I understand why employers have us test to ensure we can read a measuring tape. I always thought it was stupid that it’s not hard to read the measuring tapes but I see this and now totally understand why
As someone who prefers neutral pronouns (they/them), it’s insane how many people don’t understand the very basics of grammar. They’d rather take the time to argue an incorrect point than just respect how I would prefer to be addressed, which is honestly really demoralizing. I end up just dealing with being called the wrong pronouns and having my gender dysphoria triggered all day… 🙃
same thing over here. a lot of english people refuse to use they for us because of bullsiht arguments. and my language only has gender neutral on neopronouns, which transphobes refuse to use because "its made up" and most people keep getting to force me to aquire he/him or just address me as she/her. both options make me dysphoric tho
I really don't get the resistance either. I'm cis female but it really comes down to respect. If someone's name was Barbara and didn't want to be called Barbie, I wouldn't call them Barbie! I'm sure most people wouldn't like to be referred to as the wrong name or even nick name. Yes, you can make mistakes but it all come down to practice. And from what I've been told, it is the intent behind misgendering that is what caused the offense. Habits are hard to break but the effort counts
I have a beautiful kimono that my cousin's grandmother made me. She's pretty much my grandma too, and I absolutely love how she shared her culture with me. We used to go to festivals celebrating Japanese culture as an extended family in the kimonos she made.
Before sunscreen, people wore hats, long pants, and long sleeves, even in the summer. And they often sought shade in the afternoon. People did not just lie in the sun half-naked to get a tan.
For the whole "american spelling vs. all other spelling" debate, I either use both or pick and choose the version I like better. For example, grey represents the lighter shades of the color, while gray represents darker shades. I also prefer this version of color bc it's more trimmed down imo, but I like this version of armour bc this version fits better to me.
I prefer 'colour' It feels like it has a greater impact for the reader. As that 'u' forces you to read it ever so slightly longer, giving a longer impact, or at least, a stronger impact.
At school we were allowed to use either spelling but had to be consistent, for example 'the neighbour apologised when the traveller took offence' would be marked correct, but 'the neighbor apologised when the traveller took offense' would have two flaws in it. This stuck with me when I had a paper where the first spelling difference was in a name (forgot what it was exactly gray + attribute). Which I quoted from the story with everything else in British English. Luckily the second teacher reviewing it after I argued it's a name, not a spelling, sided with me and my mark went from a 60% to 95% ☠both are passing grades but my average was 95%+ so it was precious to me.
It feels weird seeing a question about schools having mental health related lessons. Over here we have a class called PSHE which covers things like mental health, sexual health, etc. and is taught all the way through school (unless you're doing the higher level sciences as the extra lessons replace PSHE lessons for the last 2 years of school)
We have that too, but it is a bit patchy and doesn't cover everything. We didn't really get that much on specific mental health problems but we did get some decent advice on spotting "red flags" and abusive relationships. And unfortunately in our last year of school everyone realised you can get out of it by asking to use the time to "study" (play games in the library lol), which meant almost everyone in my year missed the class about consent. My main take-aways from PSHE were: 1. Never take the batteries out of your smoke alarm (we watched several traumatising documentaries about people's houses burning down and everyone dying) 2. Don't date guys with swords (lol, we watched a short film about this boy that gets murdered by a guy with a sword) haha they loved showing us documentaries or short films that just made us cry and remember the lesson FOREVER

I remember 11 years ago, in AP Language, I used they or them as a singular. Teacher said it wasn’t right. I explained myself and I may have looked it up. But yeah, my teacher seemed to accept that….*they* were wrong. I explained it as being useful when you’re referring to a singular person of unknown gender, because that’s how it has always been used
Singular "they" instead of "he or she" actually was against most style guides until recently. For example, it wasn't until the most recent edition of APA that you were allowed to use singular "they" Basically, even though we all knew it was stupid, technically your teacher was telling you the """"correct"""" rules.
The correct rules for the time, I mean. I think singular "they" was seen more as slang or informal language. Grammar rules are often slow to catch up, which is why prescriptive rules suck. Sorry, I could be on my high horse about this all day. (I'm a high school English teacher, lol)
@@kaitlinannwright24 BTW: Bertrand Russel argued in favor of the singular-"they" _a hundred years ago_ by pointing out how the alternative, using "he", leads to utter absurdity. Shakespeare used the singular-"they", BTW.
i laughed at how silly the breasts thing was, about how they're supposedly useless to the op. but then i thought, did the person mean "why are they permanently large and not just visible when feeding a baby" ?? if so, definitely coulda been worded better lol
I read somewhere that this could be an adaptation related to the shape of human faces. Our mouths don't protrude from our faces as much as similar primate species (possibly itself an adaptation to make childbirth easier) and so protruding breasts make it easier to nurse without basically smothering the baby against the mom's body.

And so Jesus said: "Let he...err...they...err...wait, is 'person' a pronoun? 'The person who is without sin?' Will that work? Not sure. This is so confusing. Dad, I'm trying to say something important about not judging other people, and this no pronouns crap is making it REALLY hard!"
Wikipedia is actually a very trustworthy and also efficient source. On of my class mates did a test once in the computer room of our school while our teacher was gone. It's been, when COVID-19 was in its early phase, before the first lockdowns. Since rumours of lockdown and no school therefore (at least we imagined it like this) where spread already, he created a very own Wikipedia page about "COVID-19 Vacations", even added actually very convincing sources and let it look like a fully serious article. It got taken down within 15 minutes and the explanation, that it would be "panic spreading". So, although everybody is able to create pages and articles on Wikipedia, it seems like they are constantly checked and taken down pretty quickly, if not being fully trustworthy or correct (or creating so called panic like they had said in our case XD).
14:06 My school was very hit or miss with mental health education, we had one therapist and I had no idea how to reach her, I know someone who said they thought they were depressed and were told to "see how it goes". We had four suicides in my freshman year. We actually did have a good assembly in my senior year, a person who had struggled with mental health told us how they got help and recovered, and encouraged us to put the suicide hotline in our contacts, which I did. I've struggled with self hate and suicidal thoughts, I would have loved it if someone taught me how to recognize those negative thought patterns instead of struggling for four years
Was Freud actually one of the first people to advocate the idea that mental illness wasn't caused by demons or the supernatural? I remember hearing that somewhere, and I'm unsure if it's true.
@EchoL0C0 There was in fact an earlier dude called Mesmer who thought something called "animal magnetism" existed and that we all had it and were connected through it, a mental illness being a heavy individual disconnection with it. There is probably someone earlier than him though

9:10 I was just about to say that. Teachers only say not to use Wikipedia because it’s too easy. Also because they probably want us finding information directly from the source, but Wikipedia is mostly trustworthy.

Using wikipedia is easy. Read the page and then find the sources that they cited. If the sources are trustworthy and the information is accurate, then you're good to use that wikipedia page.

I love the one with "Homophobia means a fear of Homo Sapiens" no buddy, a fear of Homo Sapiens is called common sense.
One can see where the OP might have gotten that impression though. 'Homo' is greek for "similar" or "the same". So the root for the first part of words like homosexual, homophobic and homo sapiens are the same (no pun intended). The literal meaning would thus be that you are afraid or have some aversion to people that are "the same" or "similar" to yourself. Of course in homo sapiens it's 'the same' species, and in homosexual it's 'the same' gender and in homophobia it's 'phobia' against people who are homosexuals. And if that doesn't make total linguistic sense it's because none of these terms were actually coined by ancient greeks.

19:25 - "Homophobia" was coined as a phobia because the psychologist researching it (George Weinberg) believed the aversion, anger and hatred towards homosexuals stemmed from a fear of being perceived as homosexual yourself.

I mean a phobia is an irrational fear, imagine being afraid and having such hate for someone that… likes someone that they like…

Had an argument with an anti-abortion ex once who told me if I ever tried to make her have an abortion, she'd kill me. All I said was she, and anyone else who might need an abortion, deserves the right to get one if they want.
IF THEY WANT.
These people can't imagine a scenario in which nobody is a victim. If their "enemies" aren't the victims of oppression, they assume they're going to be, no matter what you say. It's kinda sad.
Funny how she refuses to get a abortion, but would kill you if you were to "force" her to.
Very pro life
So she probably seen abortion as "murder" so she threatened someone who said someone else should be able to get an abortion if they want to with murder that is ironic
Death threats are serious. That person shouldn’t have threatened to kill you. You were right to leave her since she threatened to murder you.

When I was in Japan told a Japanese friend that Yukata looked really pretty. Her reaction was to basically drag me to the nearest store to buy one. Never had anyone comment on "cultural appropriation" just because I wore something that people commonly wear to summer festivals etc. If anything, got compliments and tips on how to make it easier to put on.
Appreciation and appropriation are different things, and people would benefit from knowing the difference.
Appreciation is taking in the culture and knowing the culture all while crediting where it came from; such as wearing a yukata in Japan during festivals.
Appropriation is taking a culture, typically things people have been demonised for, and claiming it as yours; such as wearing a protective style made for black hair, which would be seen as "unprofessional", and claiming that a white person had made it, all while not being demonised or seen as "unprofessional".
@@gayjayy Yes ... as long as you don't claim something is a 'black' hairdo, when millennia ago it was infact created in India (Rasta) or in Ancient Rome (Cornrows). Just saying. Sometimes people mean well when they talk about CA, but most of them reveal themselves to be seriously ignorant.
@@OrontesRM Right. Even marginalised cultures can appropriate. But I meant stuff like box braids and such, which originated in Africa by black peoples.

On another note, besides hair, 'urban style' and Native American art has also suffered from CA. Literally copying/stealing the art and style to profit off of it, smh
@@gayjayy Without going as far as saying "appropriate". Lots of basic things were discovered multiple times by people with no contact. Bread and pasta for instance. The wheel. Protective hairstyles for work days (most cultures were working fields extensively at one point in their history, no people are immune to dirt). Mortar.

"overcoming homosexuality", I have a cousin who tried so hard to be straight, he even got married and had a kid, but it didn't work out for him, now he is dating a guy and is much happier with him.
Oh, that's good! Poor kid and wife though. Not that it's your cousin's fault! If anything, it's the fault of the people who pressured him into acting straight.
Has he ever tried to be bi? Technically, he wouldn't have been homosexual then and it's very easy to be bi.
@@Jasmin-lg3gf ooooookkkk here we go, so being bi isn't "easy" you have to be born bi, you don't choose your sexuality, your born with it.
@@postagestamp8365 In fact, it's much more complicated. Sexual orientation depends not only on biology but also on society. In ancient Greece, bisexuality among men was generally accepted. Zeus was the prime example of this.
The same principle applies to polygamy. One often speaks of social monogamy, because people tend to be interested in several partners. So, strictly speaking, humans are not a monogamous species, it is their choice.
So you can very well make a decision contrary to your biology and choose your sexuality. Whether you'll be happy with that decision is another question.
And being bisexual is very easy. Technically speaking, it is enough to imagine a relationship with one woman and one man. This shows you are interested in both sexes and you are bi by definition.
I don't know your cousin and I don't know what his relationship with his wife was like, but somehow it seems to have worked. Other couples break up too. So it sounds to me very much like your cousin is not homosexual but actually bisexual. Otherwise, the relationship with a woman should never have worked because he didn't find her attractive at all. Maybe it would have worked with a woman who has a different character/body?
@@Jasmin-lg3gf No you can't choose your sexuality, I literally study psychology at university and we've covered this topic extensively.

While in the Classical through late Medieval sense, this includes groups like eunuchs and breast cancer patients (very old procedure, mastectomy), it eerily mirrors modern trans people.
Note that none of these groups are seen as lesser or greater than others. In fact, there's a Talmudic midrash that suggests the very first person was androgynos, with two faces, who later split into Ha'Adam (Adam) and Chava (Eve).
I was doing research for an essay about pederasty, and I came across one article that included a funny passage of one guy's "argument" against acceptance of homosexuality. That being-- this very homophobic man was concerned about all the poor, lonely single women that would be left behind by the massive influx of men getting together.
His belief was that OF COURSE men would jump at the chance to go out with another guy, and once they do they'll feel unsatisfied by anything their wives could provide them. In other words, he argued that it wasn't that god said it was wrong, but that women will have a hard time finding and holding onto men if homosexuality becomes socially acceptable.
Quite a... different... take on the matter. Interesting... Though it felt more revealing about himself than anything else.
It's very rare to find someone else use the term pederasty. Pretty much constantly have to use the term paedophilia colloquially. Attempting explain that there even is a difference is often looked upon with extreme suspicion, if not outright hostility in my experience.
@@torgranael I guess pederasty fits more into hebephilia or ephebophilia, which are usually words I see people get all suspicious about if you try to differentiate them from paedophilia. I get that sometimes it's not relevant to the conversation if people are talking about child abuse in a specific case (y'know, don't act like a "know it all" or try to show off that you DO know the differences) but it does kind of bother me on a "correctness" level when people refer to all sexual interest in people who are underage "pedophilia" when an adult having sexual interest in 8- versus 18-year-olds is VASTLY different in terms of psychology.
Is that guy aware of the existence of lesbians? Is he also aware than in the US there are more women than men?
@@Random-sk6hm I don't have a source for this so it could be bs, but as far as I know, it's correct. It used to be that the existence of lesbians was so unthinkably against God that it's simply impossible. It's also speculated that this was started by a woman in power (one of England's queens, but not the most recent) so that no-one would look into the matter and execute her for crimes against god.
It's entirely possible that such a belief could be passed down if they've been shielded from reality enough.
@@mastermarkus5307 I could be wrong on all this, I was just piecing the bits of my current knowledge with what I found after a few quick searches.
If I had to guess why paedophilia (as opposed to hebephilia and ephebophilia) is used so readily, even when not accurate, I'd say that the introduction of the 'teenager' and 'adolescent' stages are why, along with a lackluster push to get more terms out (paedophile being an older, already established word).
Paedophilia refers to prepubescents now, the people we call 'children' today. However, go back a century, and anyone who wasn't of age was considered a child, and attraction to said children made you a paedophile. You were either an adult or a child, with no in between. While the definition of paedophile remains the same now as when it was coined, at the time, there was no casually used separation between children and adolescents, so 'paedophile', used for children, ended up including adolescents and teens too, just out of common association. Today we have those terms, and different words to describe people sexually attracted to those groups. However, the idea of a social (not biological, we already had that) stage between child and adult was primarily used as a marketing tactic, so words like 'teen' got pushed a lot, whilst the associated terms (hebephilia and ephebephilia) weren't pushed so hard (because how would you go about marketing those terms?). So paedophile kept being used for those attracted to people not of age.

Oh, the whole "wearing Japanese clothing items is appropriation", yet when we do, the Japanese generally love it. There is a whole business there that dresses people up in very traditional outfits, and takes photos, and it's common in Kyoto, where people visit to check out that whole "ye olden Japan" vibes.
Most people do it out of respect, or to blend in during their stay in a foreign country. And... there are non-Asian people in Japan who don't know any other language than Japanese, and were born and raised in Japan, and it's the only culture they know. Telling them they can't participate in the culture they grew up in is ridiculous. Do we tell people not from America that they can't wear t-shirts and jeans, because that's "Western cultural appropriation"?
I HAD to once, was going to a festival in the city I was visiting, and my Japanese friend demanded that I wear a yukata, because it'd be disrespectful if I didn't.
My American friend had to wear Japanese kimono when she married her Japanese husband, and had to get traditional wedding-style photos.
Jeans are an entire can of worm too in some circles... people are insane.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the people who generally have a problem with "cultural appropriation" are white people trying to police what other white people can wear. Again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
@K. V.
Could you tell me a bit about the jeans issue? I know literally nothing about that and your comment made me curious.
@@lisaty5937 The issue varies depending on the group. The fabric used for jeans (real ones, not modern elastic stuff made by children in warehouses), was inspired by the attempts to reproduce a specific late medieval fabric the Genoese (from Genoa, in Italy, at the time an independant city-state) invented for boat sails, sailor clohing and army tents. They made a fortune selling it and were pretty pissed the French managed to come close to it with what we call today "Denim" fabric, derivation of "De Nîmes", in french, ("From Nimes", a city in Southern France). I've met Italians (from Genoa) that held an "ancestral grudge" about it.
The second "grudge" partly stems from class struggles, with a tinge of nationalism if you're in France. Denim used to be worn by blue-collars (the blue collar from Denim overalls). As it became trendy thanks to american branding (mainly Levi's), prices grew, making it unapproachable for actual blue collars (hence the grudge). Think of it as gentrification for clothing they needed to work.
In France, you can add a pinch of general motivated or unmotivated grudges towards the USA because they "stole their invention".
Neither situation is super wide-spread, but some small groups feel VERY strongly about it.
@K. V.
Thank you so much for elaborating, that's really interesting to know.
The "gender" (or "no gender") thing comes from people having the audacity to want to be adressed with certain pronouns. This goes against the God-given right of people to use the pronouns _they_ want to use. It basically tells these people that they are wrong, and being told to be wrong is an offense of the highest order.
(/sarcasm)
But seriously: it is exactly that.
If someone wanted to adress my here, without using the name, they would have to decide on some pronoun. Most people do make that decision, based on whatever preference they use. For example, people have that notion that most people using the internet are male, so they use the male pronoun by default.
"Groffili is very smart. His comments make sense."
They don't know if they are correct or not. I could be female and thus want to be told that "her comments make sense".
So I might tell them my preferred pronouns. "My pronouns are she/her." (Note for friendly minded people: this is just as an example. _My_ pronouns are "he/his".)
Most people are able to accept such a correction... but this acceptence is based on just how deeply held the initial process of evaluation is.
These people might be able to accept "Oh, a random person on the internet that I do know nothing about except their non-standard name is of a different gender than I assumed."
But these same people might not be able to do that for "But this person has an established male/female name", or even worse "But this person does not look, behave or have attributes that I connect with male/female."
They reject being told the correct pronouns in such a case, widen that to being told pronouns in general... and for the most stubborn (and ignorant) deny the existence of pronouns in general.
Bravo. :}
i also wanna add that we should stop trying to guess what pronouns other use based on appearance. We should just ask the person or try to phrase it more neutrally
You've made me have the need to look into this. Very few comments are intelligent enough to inspire me to study a topic, so I'll commend both that and your intellect.
So basically they don't like being told they are wrong. And will throw a toddler tantrum about it. Grrrrrreat, amirite :D
@@arielruby13 I mean, the vast majority of people have a gender presentation that matches their gender identity, like for example I've personally never met someone whose gender presentation didn't match up with their gender identity (though, then again, it's not like I'm regularly meeting people at all).
Not saying I don't think we should respect how people want others to refer to them, but like I don't think people are just gonna stop assuming people's gender based on appearance because it's so ingrained in us socially (and evolutionary, to extent)
19:35 "phobia" means fear in a medical context... but "phobos", the Greek word, has many possible translations, among which "disgust" and "hate". "Homophobia" is built upon "phobos", as is "xenophobia". Those words do not imply the existence of a medical phobia.

There are 7 subject pronouns (I, you, we, they, he, she, it), 7 object pronouns (me, you, us, them, him, her, it), and 7 possessive pronouns (mine, yours, ours, theirs, his, hers, it's). Then if we want to count possessive adjectives since they're based on the pronouns anyway, we can add 7 more (my, your, our, their, his, her, its). Only the 3rd person singular pronouns are gendered, so I agree that English has ungendered pronouns, too. But that's only 28... What others are you thinking of?

The tampon misunderstandings make my head hurt. For those who don't know tampons sizes are actually a reference to its absorbency. L or Light holds 3-6g. R or Regular holds 6-9g. S or Super holds 9-12g. S+ or Super Plus holds 12-15g. These things need to be changed every 4 hours or every time a woman urinates (which ever comes first) to reduce the chance of Toxic Shock, so no you can't just put in a super plus and be good for the week. Tampon strings act like a wick and are absolutely impossible to keep out of a urine stream. If that seems like an awful lot of work and consideration just to be able to handle some blood for a week, y'all are going to have your mind blown when you find out what has to be done to handle the rest of the period.
Wait I have a question. I know the sizes are for absorbency, but do they really have nothing to do with "how they fit" for lack of a better term? The tampon ads I see a lot say that you should go a size down if it hurts to put in. Is that wrong? I have never actually used tampons before.

But vaginas are very stretchy. Most of them will have no problem with any of the sizes and the main consideration is how heavy your flow is.
@@beccabaxmeyer8823 More absorbent generally means a larger tampon, and the larger sizes can be uncomfortable or even painful to insert/remove for some people.
It's certainly not impossible to keep the string out of urine stream, just a bit fiddly. However I've not bothered with tampons for ages, just been using a cup for a good fifteen years now so no need to worry about pee getting where it shouldn't, or TSS either. I mean sure, still need to empty it at least twice a day even on a light day, but the risk for TSS is a lot smaller than with tampons. Also much less waste, much cheaper, and doesn't cause dryness. Doesn't suit everyone, but I recommend anyone with periods to at least give it a try if there's no known structural or other issues that would make it impractical.

@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I've ready found my musical niche, and I've been listening to the exact same type of stuff for many years now and have not tired of it, and have even made a lot of my own music in those styles, though I do deviate from time to time in terms of both what I listen to and what I make. The medium is also a factor on the style. What I typically listen to can be summed up as piano, video game music, or what I like to call "epic orchestral" (I've also heard it referred to as "movie score"; this style very often utilizes acapella choir), maybe with some symphonic metal influence. I also often listen to things that combine these in various ways, like epic orchestral or piano covers of video game music, or piano covers of epic orchestral and vice versa, etcetera. Though, as previously mentioned, I do deviate from time to time, like how I have Ruler of Everything in my playlist.
In respect to the wiki thing, it's not just about being lazy, it's also that Wikipedia is not a DIRECT source. Feel free to use them as a starting point and go to their sources, as Click suggests, and use THOSE as your essay sources. We're trying to teach that you have to find the origins of the info as best as you can, because often places will repeat what they've heard, and it might just be a misreporting or something started from an unreliable source that got caught up by the mainstream.

I agree with the idea of having a class specifically for mental health. In the health classes I've been in, they barely scratch the surface.

The review at 16:45 was just like the A&W campaign in the 1980 where they advertised a 1/3 pound burger to compete against McDonald’s 1/4 pounder. Even though it was the same prize people didn’t bought it as much because „3 is smaller than 4“ so they thought, the McDonald’s burger was bigger
If I am reading your comment correctly you are saying that people thought that the 1/3 pound (not inch) burger weighed less than than the 1/4 pound (not inch) burger, that the burger was sold for the same cost (price not prize) & people still didn't buy it because they thought that it was less value per cost, correct?

For the millionth time, "phobia" has more than one definition. It means fear, yes, but it *also* means dislike of or aversion to. This is why I really hate the "homophobia means fear of gay people" argument.
Though to be fair, I think most homophobes ARE afraid of a gay person hitting on them too, let's be real. Especially men - god forbid they get treated the same way those homophobic men tend to treat women, right?
Well the exact definition of phobia is
"An extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something."
It's mainly the irrational part that makes homophobia a problem.
If that was the case, gay people need to act more threatening
They are afraid of us though.
They are afraid of us, they're scared our simple existence is going to convert every child of the world to gayness and so that we are going to "destroy society" or some shit. So yeah, they're just scared.

Well, they all have very different takes on a lot of ideas, so a Catholic mostly won't mind being called christian, but any protestant doctrine won't like being lumped with Catholocism, and most of those three have different views on big things in the bible, generally using outside sources for certain rules that are important to them, so yes, technically, all of them are "Christian" but they may not all belive the same things about God and Jesus, which is s big deal for a lot of them. So, you are and aren't right. They are christians, but most definetely Not the same christian as another. Protestant doctrines normally don't mind being lumped with each other, but Catholocism uses so many extra biblical stuff that sometimes exaggerates or contradicts the bible(what the claim to be their most important text, oh and they have multiple texts that are used to interpret the bible that arent always right) that most any protestant doctrine or church will take issue being lumped with Catholics. Sorry if this is an info dump.
To be fair, the three of them are not the same.
But they are all part of Christianity.

As a diabetic, diabetes (especially type 1) is (one of?) the only disorder where you regularly calculate the dosage of a medication that could kill you if you calculate it wrong. Before I was on my pump and had to manually calculate it instead of letting a mini calculator do it for me, I regularly messed up my dosage which ended up causing me to be hours from ending up in the ER due to both lows and highs.
How to determine if you or a loved one should get checked for diabetes: 1) sweet smelling urine that may also be quite dark; 2) frequent urination (including bed wetting or frequently full diapers); 3) always drinking water; 4) unusually tired - for instance I drank half of a slurpee and fell asleep when most kids would become hyper; 5) insomnia, especially at night; 6) unusual weight loss; 7) mood changes and/or irritability; 8) blurry vision; 9) increased or decreased appetite (most sources only say increased, but I had an extreme decrease in appetite due to feeling sick and filling up on water); 10) wounds and illnesses heal much slower, especially in children.
I was lucky that a young girl unfortunately died from undiagnosed diabetes in my mom's hometown which led to my mom knowing the symptoms. She was also home that summer and saw me constantly going between the waters in the fridge and the toilet. I was diagnosed early which avoided DKA, which is very deadly and needs to be treated immediately. Kisses For Kycie (a blog) has a lot of information of what to look out for. It's made by the parents of the little girl and talks about what they wish they knew so they could've saved her.

I am so glad you caught your furbaby's diabetes quickly! We had four cats and didn't notice until it was too late. We'd even just had his bloodwork done two months prior and everything was fine, but between then and when we noticed he was lethargic, there was nothing we could do. His diabetes triggered heart disease with messed with his heart murmur and ended in heart failure that caused four organs to fail. He had literally been acting normal right up until we noticed he wouldn't walk and his breathing was rapid. There was nothing we could have done differently to prevent it. Even the ER vet didn't know why all of that had happened so fast when our other three cats were perfectly normal. It's been almost a month since he passed and I miss him yelling at me to give him his breakfast faster, or screaming at us to go to bed. He was a very loud old man. Malcolm looked just like your kitty. House just isn't the same without him. All we can do is make as good decisions as we can with the information we are given. Still just doesn't seem real.
Established titles is the funniest thing I've ever done in my life. I once made a bet with my siblings where we said first to own land wins.

It cost me a little over 100 dollars in total and my brothers paid me 100 dollars each as was the bet. So I became a lord, and made about 100 dollars.

A mental health class sounds amazing until you think about how a lot of children would learn that they have a mental illness while sitting in a classroom with classmates that might mock them for it and a teacher that is not at all prepared to deal with that.
also, it could trigger people who have or had dealt with any mental problems talked about, which would do the opposite of the intended purpose. i think it would just have to be a balance
So you think leaving them in ignorance, susceptible to believing any old BS, would be better for them?
@@rosiefay7283 no, I just think this isnt something that should be done in a classroom setting. Mental health is part of your medical history and not everyone wants to share that with the whole class. Thats like outing a gay person in front of the class
@@anikanele7958 Learning about something existing, and being asked/forced to self-identify aren't the same thing though. Using the gay kid example, it would be much healthier for the kid (and all of their classmates) to get a proper education about different sexualities, and learn that it's natural. In the same way, it's good for people of all genders to learn about each other's bodily functions (even if it would deprive us of the amusement of "bad female anatomy" videos).
I took Psychology in high school. I already knew about most of the mental illnesses that we covered. My child was diagnosed with OCD in MS, other students pointed out the signs to her which caused her to finally be willing to talk to her drs about it like I had been encouraging her to do.

I am perplexed how some people don't know that words like I, you, we and they are also pronouns, not only he, she, it.
I think it had to do with the teaching that he/she sounds formal while I, we, you doesn't. So therefore it's not a "Pro"fessional noun at a quick glance
that/this/there are also pronouns, fun fact. like its so much more than just 3rd person nominative,,,

Now I understand why employers have us test to ensure we can read a measuring tape. I always thought it was stupid that it’s not hard to read the measuring tapes but I see this and now totally understand why
As someone who prefers neutral pronouns (they/them), it’s insane how many people don’t understand the very basics of grammar. They’d rather take the time to argue an incorrect point than just respect how I would prefer to be addressed, which is honestly really demoralizing.
I end up just dealing with being called the wrong pronouns and having my gender dysphoria triggered all day… 🙃
same thing over here. a lot of english people refuse to use they for us because of bullsiht arguments. and my language only has gender neutral on neopronouns, which transphobes refuse to use because "its made up" and most people keep getting to force me to aquire he/him or just address me as she/her. both options make me dysphoric tho
I really don't get the resistance either. I'm cis female but it really comes down to respect. If someone's name was Barbara and didn't want to be called Barbie, I wouldn't call them Barbie!
I'm sure most people wouldn't like to be referred to as the wrong name or even nick name. Yes, you can make mistakes but it all come down to practice. And from what I've been told, it is the intent behind misgendering that is what caused the offense. Habits are hard to break but the effort counts

Before sunscreen, people wore hats, long pants, and long sleeves, even in the summer. And they often sought shade in the afternoon. People did not just lie in the sun half-naked to get a tan.
For the whole "american spelling vs. all other spelling" debate, I either use both or pick and choose the version I like better. For example, grey represents the lighter shades of the color, while gray represents darker shades.
I also prefer this version of color bc it's more trimmed down imo, but I like this version of armour bc this version fits better to me.
I prefer 'colour'
It feels like it has a greater impact for the reader. As that 'u' forces you to read it ever so slightly longer, giving a longer impact, or at least, a stronger impact.
I like your thinking. To me grey is for mystical, fantastical, pleasant things, and gray is for hard, cold, industrial things.
Yes! I agree on all fronts although I just stick with grey
At school we were allowed to use either spelling but had to be consistent, for example 'the neighbour apologised when the traveller took offence' would be marked correct, but 'the neighbor apologised when the traveller took offense' would have two flaws in it.
This stuck with me when I had a paper where the first spelling difference was in a name (forgot what it was exactly gray + attribute). Which I quoted from the story with everything else in British English. Luckily the second teacher reviewing it after I argued it's a name, not a spelling, sided with me and my mark went from a 60% to 95% ☠both are passing grades but my average was 95%+ so it was precious to me.

It feels weird seeing a question about schools having mental health related lessons. Over here we have a class called PSHE which covers things like mental health, sexual health, etc. and is taught all the way through school (unless you're doing the higher level sciences as the extra lessons replace PSHE lessons for the last 2 years of school)
We have that too, but it is a bit patchy and doesn't cover everything. We didn't really get that much on specific mental health problems but we did get some decent advice on spotting "red flags" and abusive relationships. And unfortunately in our last year of school everyone realised you can get out of it by asking to use the time to "study" (play games in the library lol), which meant almost everyone in my year missed the class about consent. My main take-aways from PSHE were: 1. Never take the batteries out of your smoke alarm (we watched several traumatising documentaries about people's houses burning down and everyone dying) 2. Don't date guys with swords (lol, we watched a short film about this boy that gets murdered by a guy with a sword) haha they loved showing us documentaries or short films that just made us cry and remember the lesson FOREVER

I remember 11 years ago, in AP Language, I used they or them as a singular. Teacher said it wasn’t right. I explained myself and I may have looked it up. But yeah, my teacher seemed to accept that….*they* were wrong. I explained it as being useful when you’re referring to a singular person of unknown gender, because that’s how it has always been used
Singular "they" instead of "he or she" actually was against most style guides until recently. For example, it wasn't until the most recent edition of APA that you were allowed to use singular "they"
Basically, even though we all knew it was stupid, technically your teacher was telling you the """"correct"""" rules.
The correct rules for the time, I mean. I think singular "they" was seen more as slang or informal language. Grammar rules are often slow to catch up, which is why prescriptive rules suck.

@@kaitlinannwright24 BTW: Bertrand Russel argued in favor of the singular-"they" _a hundred years ago_ by pointing out how the alternative, using "he", leads to utter absurdity.
Shakespeare used the singular-"they", BTW.
i laughed at how silly the breasts thing was, about how they're supposedly useless to the op. but then i thought, did the person mean "why are they permanently large and not just visible when feeding a baby" ?? if so, definitely coulda been worded better lol
probably not, but it is a thought. Like why do boobs need to grow so large sometimes? What does the size, when not breastfeeding, even do for you?
that's a good question honestly, i mean most animals don't have the fat part like we do, so i'm curious why they're like that for humans
I read somewhere that this could be an adaptation related to the shape of human faces. Our mouths don't protrude from our faces as much as similar primate species (possibly itself an adaptation to make childbirth easier) and so protruding breasts make it easier to nurse without basically smothering the baby against the mom's body.
@@PokingMangoes That makes sense. I mean if you think about it imagine trying to breastfeed with basically male breasts. would be much harder.
If that was the case, the answer is bioluminescence. Glow boobs!
dictonary definition of Phobia (for those who were wondering): "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something." The aversion portion can include hating whatever you are phobic of/towards. Just for clarity of that part of things.
I've always struggled reading the bible, it having no pronouns would certainly explain why.
And so Jesus said: "Let he...err...they...err...wait, is 'person' a pronoun? 'The person who is without sin?' Will that work? Not sure. This is so confusing. Dad, I'm trying to say something important about not judging other people, and this no pronouns crap is making it REALLY hard!"
@@dmgroberts5471 Haha, exactly! Person is fine, but unfortunately who is still a pronoun in that example 😆
@@durabelle I think by then he's started to give up.
@@dmgroberts5471 Jesus from Preacher be like that.
Wikipedia is actually a very trustworthy and also efficient source. On of my class mates did a test once in the computer room of our school while our teacher was gone. It's been, when COVID-19 was in its early phase, before the first lockdowns. Since rumours of lockdown and no school therefore (at least we imagined it like this) where spread already, he created a very own Wikipedia page about "COVID-19 Vacations", even added actually very convincing sources and let it look like a fully serious article.
It got taken down within 15 minutes and the explanation, that it would be "panic spreading". So, although everybody is able to create pages and articles on Wikipedia, it seems like they are constantly checked and taken down pretty quickly, if not being fully trustworthy or correct (or creating so called panic like they had said in our case XD).

My school was very hit or miss with mental health education, we had one therapist and I had no idea how to reach her, I know someone who said they thought they were depressed and were told to "see how it goes". We had four suicides in my freshman year.
We actually did have a good assembly in my senior year, a person who had struggled with mental health told us how they got help and recovered, and encouraged us to put the suicide hotline in our contacts, which I did. I've struggled with self hate and suicidal thoughts, I would have loved it if someone taught me how to recognize those negative thought patterns instead of struggling for four years
14:13 Hilariously, the psychology class I recently took explained that Demonic Possession was one of the earliest explanations for mental illness😅.
Was Freud actually one of the first people to advocate the idea that mental illness wasn't caused by demons or the supernatural?
I remember hearing that somewhere, and I'm unsure if it's true.
@EchoL0C0 There was in fact an earlier dude called Mesmer who thought something called "animal magnetism" existed and that we all had it and were connected through it, a mental illness being a heavy individual disconnection with it.
There is probably someone earlier than him though
"There are no pronouns in the bible"
God: "I am He, oh... uh.. I- oh.. uhm.. crap"
on the other hand: i have no idea how the original language of the bible works 🤔
Moses: "Who Are?"
God: "Am That Am."

Oh no whatever shall I do
I love how some people think Rage Against the Machine "got too political "... I always ask which machine they thought was being raged against..
My guess was Terminators, which honestly still becomes political if you think about it...
Raging against a robot uprising -> has Terminator robots that change history -> associated with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger -> he's a governor now -> politics
@@shinymainespoon that guy is a governor???
@@sopadumacacoumadelicia5 He used to be.
@@sopadumacacoumadelicia5 yes he was governor of California about 20 years ago. He actually did alright.... for a republican anyway. He has way more compassion and love for the earth than most conservatives.
@@sopadumacacoumadelicia5 Correction: he WAS the governor of California, from 2003-2011
9:10 I was just about to say that. Teachers only say not to use Wikipedia because it’s too easy. Also because they probably want us finding information directly from the source, but Wikipedia is mostly trustworthy.
In some ways, Wikipedia is better than books. Wikipedia can be updated with new information, books can't (they have to be republished under a new edition).
Using wikipedia is easy. Read the page and then find the sources that they cited. If the sources are trustworthy and the information is accurate, then you're good to use that wikipedia page.
