Funny, all the people tweeting Linus to say that he had never got close to a woman... Yet the guy runs a massively successful business, has a wife and children..
They also looked like they were fat or unattractive or fat and unattractive. Really experience has shown that people who attack others in such a way have insecurities of their own. Now it is so much fun making fun of and trolling people who throw those types of hateful remarks first. Give as good as you get and you cannot cry and claim to be a victim when you struck first.
there was not a way to do that without provoking something.

It is absurd that a person like you is receiving death threats and such.Been watching you for almost 4 years and I truly appreciate your content.Have a nice day!
I am confident that everyone on YT with more than 100k subscribers has. Barnacules is a more extreme example.. he gets tons. Most if not all to date have just been idiots on the internet being idiots on the internet and I would never take them seriously.
Louis has great content. Very educational, and I agree with many of his viewpoints. But he self-admittedly can be an asshole. And not just a little bit. Self-righteous internet idiots absorb that kind of stuff, even in small amounts, and find a way to make it all about them. And now it's personal. And now they think they need to send words to try and scare someone into not offending them, or harass someone, because they need that illusion that they are getting revenge, or somehow doing justice. All in order to make themselves feel better about the fact that they can't develop their own opinion, and have to rely on the masses to do it for them.
Because of all these people watching to find points to hit Linus on, he not only hit the trending tab, but also had over a million views in like a day. So all in all he’s getting paid while people try and criticize him lol
That's IT! We can't take this water cooling sexism anymore and should separate all female fittings and hoses from male fittings and hoses so that they can stop being assaulted by those chauvinistic male fittings that are always trying to fit into female parts! HOW DARE THEY!!! STOP FEMALE PARTS ABUSE NOW! FEMALE FITTINGS POWER!!!
You're one of my favorite people online! You've inspired me to take my channel into a direction like yours: mostly electronics (though I put together my own devices), and never letting assholes tell me what to do! Focus on learning and solving problems, not submitting to the will of dishonest grievance-mongers.
I want to emphasize the last point you made. I agree with everything you said, but there's a huge difference of attacking and educating. If someone makes a mistake somewhere, by all means, point it out, RESPECTFULLY. Never attribute malice to what is probably ignorance. I've had great success in being respectful and educational when I point stuff out on the Internet. If someone is wrong, and you start attacking the person because of it, the only thing that will happen is that the person you're responding to will get defensive, and possibly respond in the same tone. Neither of you will learn anything, you'll not get your point across, they will think you're an idiot and everyone will be worse off. I just felt like most of the video came out as "if someone made a mistake, don't call them out on it". It's not what you advocated, I know, but the general tone sort of implied it until I got to the last minute or so. I would have liked a bigger focus on what to do instead of being an asshole, rather than just the "don't do this" which the majority of the video was.
Your life wisdom and social intelligence always amazed me. You're one of the most judicious people I've ever listened to. You have a gift of ability to express and explain issues that I struggle with every day, but can't name them as distinctly as you can. I think it is such a great thing that you don't just keep it for yourself. Thanks, Louis. And please, forget the new year's resolution. It sucks. LOL.
The DailyFail (DailyMail), here in the UK, also didn't report this correctly which probably explains the mentality of the individuals who attacked him on the Amazon Go thing. As far as I'm concerned, he didn't steal it. He just authorised a refund for the item AFTER he walked out the store, and AFTER he was charged for it! The issue is there was no way to return the item (which he explained!). The Amazon Go store has been specifically designed to make it almost impossible for any items to be stolen, so if you do manage that, that's on Amazon's head, not yours. They are taking the risk. They believe and trust in this technology so well, that they do not see it as an issue (which he also explained!). The morons attacking him need to grow a brain. This isn't about the tampons, but they make it so. He should have stayed clear of feminine sanitary products for his example - that is how the world seems to be these days, and I personally have very little time, and tolerance, for people like this, that get so easily offended, about total ... utter ... shite.
parkamark yeah he didn't actually steal, he just figuratively stole it. which is part of the point of the video was too show the strong points if the system as well as the flaws he could immediately identify
parkamark He was planning do it with a male sanitary product (prophylactics), but it wasn't available, so he randomly used whatever non-male sanitary product the store had (and didn't have time to ask his wife what to pick up).
The whole irony of those female commenting is that they don't know that Linus is married and has kids for a number of years now. Projection at its best.
They are, just not the bitchy ones. that goes for party leeches and professional ones. i mean i don't want a woman who can't even make good money by herself, i'd rather marry a brick then lol. But yeah you're right about the projection stuff. those are the type of females to avoid. they're miserable and bitter.
"harassment is wrong... unless we are the ones harassing". There is a term for those professionally offended people: cry-bully. More annoying and more unfair than a regular bully.
I always start watching your videos thinking "Oh he is going to say something outrageous. He is definitely a douche. I am going to unsubscribe." and then I finish the videos thinking "No. That makes sense. This guy is a good fella. I'm gonna leave a like."
I've been avoiding subscribing because I thought this was a strictly tech channel, but man, your like a Compute Dr. Phil up in here. I watch these videos more for your opinions and insight than any tech stuff. Cheers from Canada!
What all these "people" who attacked Linus and said he couldn't procreate don't know is that he's married and has a kid. I don't know whether or not that's really sad or really funny. Either way, it seems like in most things, the loudest critics are usually the least qualified to be critical. Anyone who's watched more than 20 LTT videos knows that he's married and is a father.
Louis Rossman I highly admire the fact that you do not only sharing your technical knowledge but also your life experiences in order to help others . I find your videos highly useful ! Thank you!
Bloody hell, man. That would take some strength on your behalf to put up with death threats. I had no idea it was so bad for you. Yet you carry on helping people fix stuff. Great respect for your efforts.
not really the desire to protect is hardwired in some 'moral' people and maintaining civilization demands being just . non sjws are the first to protect a girl in trouble if central park karen case is any indicator as civilization depends on the women ,children and men.
@@omiorahman6283 you can still argue, that this kind of behavior could lead to a general desensitivation. It wouldnt affect the most moral people but it would probably make it harder to properly sensitivize the majority of people.
Louis, this is great. You know when I first watched some of your videos, especially older ones (in a sweeping manner, just flicking through) I thought to myself "man, what an asshole know-it-all". But then I watched some of them, newer ones, thoroughly - some really difficult board repairs and also your "think it through" videos and I quickly realized how wrong I had been about you. You're a decent guy with clear mind. You have your own opinion, which is just great, and you're 100% yourself. Keep it up! And educate people just like you do. We DO appreciate it. Thank you!
If it's any consolation, stupidity has been rampant for pretty much the entirety of human history. People have always found or made ways to do and say stupid things things in a public place. The only difference now is that those stupid people have a global forum to spout their stupid ideas on, so not only to people hear and see it easier, more people hear and see it.. On top of that, those other people can either call the original spout of stupidity out on the many times aforementioned stupidity or they can also start spouting that same stupidity. Either way, more people see the original stupidity, thus contributing to the perception that stupidity is getting worse. At any rate, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Hey, I have a funny one. I went into a convient store one time and after pulling a drink off the soda machine, grabbing a coffee cake, I headed to the cashier, but there was no cashier. There was a poorly folded sign saying " I'm sorry, but I can't take this anymore so I quit, so please be honest and put your money in the cup provided" I see this big cup with a bunch of dollar bills in it. Here I am in an empty store looking at this cup. I'm thinking, what happens when a crook comes in ? I just jammed a 5 dollar bill in the cup and left.... to me this was strange and funny. Your opinion may vary....
A way you can see the fact that Linus bought pads: "What a nice man, he's buying pads for his wife." The way SJW saw it (somehow): "What a sexist, white and male monster."
Your opinion is very valuable and I think you should share more of them in videos like these. Your display of enthusiasm is something I look forward to in each video I watch. Keep it up!
i love your rants, i really do. It has something which other rants do not have. i think it's called "common sense". It's something which is lacking in nowadays society
been watching your videos last few days, and they are awesome, i was pretty depressed over the last few month and just listening to you has definitely improved my over all mood towards my self and others
Linus wanted to buy small condoms to take the piss out of himself. Amazon store didnt stock them, so the pads was the only thing they had in stock. I had no problem with the video at all. The whole thing was a joke and people need to chill out. Louis you are right in what are saying about the way things are. Respect.
"Maybe he doesn't need a maxi pad or a tampon because HE HAS A Y CHROMOSOME". That sounded so cool and I don't know why. Never paid any attention to the linus bs stuff about it all. I came for hating on Apple I stayed for the life lessons.
@@whifflingtit9240 you saying that statement is really aggravating, either you didn't watch the video or you are pissed off at Louis. He says that Linus being a male does not fundamentally need a tampon or maxipad so it's okay, if he doesn't know the difference.
Late to the party but I gave a thumbs up at 1:53 based on reasonable thinking and logic... Wished I could have given an additional like at 7:10...After watching the full video: Since I could not up vote this video more than once, any other notations of wanting to up-vote the video is moot. That being the case, I will thank you for articulating, very well and far better than I ever could, many of the practices and philosophies of being a descent human being and respecting others no matter our differences. Empathy is key. Thank you Louis!!!
I haven't watch Linus's video yet -- will soon, maybe some of the hate is a bit deserved for clickbate title and thumbnail? Pretty sure very few of those who are directing hate at him actually watched the video, or know anything about Linus -- that he is in fact married and has (2?) kids...but I think we can all agree that twitter is where humanity goes to die. I have a son and a daughter -- when we had our daughter, the nurse at the hospital took us both aside and showed how to properly clean a girl's parts -- yet, my wife probably knew, but I certainly didn't -- I don't have those parts, and never participated in any girls bathroom rituals -- not sure -- I guess it's not exactly a sexy thing to get your man involved in...my daughter is daddy's little girl, but rest assured when in 8-10 years when she does get her period, I'm sure I'll know less about it than my wife. I give our daughter baths, and get her dressed in the morning -- she is 4, hope not to get attacked by some weirdo perverts, and I put both of our kids to bed -- as a way to have some time with them after work, and give my wife a break as she is a stay at home mom. I also had to teach my wife proper cleaning of our son's private area -- somehow none of her past boyfriend's nor me for that matter felt the need to educate her on proper male hygiene. So schools are supposed to educate our kids on gender specific hygiene products/practices -- goodness....I give up.
I always giggled when these people pop their heads up and call me a virgin. It happens a lot on the net. I'm fairly sure Linus did as well. The stupidity and ideological cult narrative drips off them like a bible thumper on a street corner in the Texas midsummer heat. And I find them the biggest joke on themselves. Ideologies religions and cults always make you talk like and idiot.
A good thing might be to inform them that different parts work differently- oh wait sex ed and biology class already does that, have these people complaining about the school system even been a part of it is my question.
+tenshi7angel when parents and teacher's at my daughter's nursery school find out that I do her hair in the morning, they're shocked -- she has the best hair styles, how can a hetero father possibly do girl's hair? I'm not sure how to deal with bath situation, if I tell her, don't tell your teachers daddy gives you baths -- it sounds weird, or tell your teachers daddy gives you baths sounds weird. She was going to tell her teachers that daddy was blow-drying her hair, she got a huge kick out of it, the first time I got the blow dryer out because I didn't want her going to bed with a wet head of hair....my political views are liberal/progressive, but often times the 0-60 of the left self-righteousness makes me wonder what the hell is going on.
Yeah, his video is just a review of the Seattle Amazon Store. You saw right. And I do agree with you: in Québec, Canada, sex ed classes are restarting because the rate of young people infected with sexually transmissible diseases is going up. As much as some things seem taboo, it is very important to educate people about them. And btw this has nothing to do with Linus' video (which the title could've been "I stole orange juice from the Amazon Store!", would've been less controversial)
You might break your New Year's resolution, you might swear, but still, I like your wisdom and I think there is a lot I can learn from you. Thanks, Louis.
Dang Quang Ngoc yeah in context he showed the weakness of the system, tho technically he stole it bc of that same thing. I'm not gonna say he didn't return it off camera, I will say that he got refunded bc of it
"Dear lord, PLEASE let me find a way, ANY WAY, that I can be offended today, so that I can spew my hatred, storm a restaurant, or just have a SPAZZ-FIT about SOMETHING!"
This is one point I couldn't agree more. Coincidentally, just listened to this today and before that I had such an encounter, I wonder what are the odds. One thing I notice is that those who are genuinely like that, it is sadly a psychological overreaction with zero moderation (sadly, a quite human/normal reaction, it just manifests in many different ways, same issue though). They're trying to feel better by kicking someone down (i.e. they're not telling someone else they're bad, they're reinforcing to their subconscious that they're good). Specially if said someone can be placed into a convenient category such as an "oppressor" - then, to their eyes, their behavior _is_ different and justified, because they just subconsciously (i.e. the conscious has the benefit of ignorance) dehumanized the individual in question, because it is different to treat a now non-human being non-humanly. Ironic, really, that they complain about themselves or other groups being treated inhumanly but they cannot police themselves to not dehumanize others without realizing (or being able to accept) that they do such. That is when you get shit like a wealthy black boy who lives a luxurious life telling you that a homeless white man will always be less oppressed than he is, and the people who buy that crap. /rant
The LTT video was actually pretty interesting and joke was worth a little a laugh at most. It is sad to see this when the people doing this know nothing about him. If he was able do it with item he said he want to no one would have cared at all.
Unfortunately, the people at the top will benefit from divides like this. Real important issues are swept aside because it's easier to break each other down than to build up.
"Singular way of viewing the world through this miserable lens of constant class race gender baiting on every issue" Sir, you defined perfectly what I have been trying to define for a while. Thank you, I'm going to reuse this definition
Louis, I love your content (especially ones focused on character development) and it truly is helping me grow into a more confident person so thank you for your help in life, even if it's from an outside factor. P.S. I love the part around 18:30 where your Italian accent starts showing because of your rage
Oddly enough I really don't want to continue my family line... I really don't want kids and all I really want out of any relationship is attention and hugs... am I really that weird?
Excellent breakdown a whole lot of truth in this people adopt group dynamics which are essentially small cults. A large reason is that they simply want to fit in and just agree. While I'm not giving you a ticket to be disagreeable about everything just to be a knob, I have to agree it is true everything you said here is with pinpoint accuracy! Solution is self-aware listen to the voice of reason the voice of reason is beyond your self-critical voice of fear and worry the constant state you remain in while in the hive mentality. There will be things you just do NOT agree with at your core but you continue down the path you even become what you are not just to identify as one of the hives. All the while it is keeping you from being you which is what is truly great your difference or indifference is what makes you. You must understand this while difficult it does not mean that we cannot work together still and have good relationships it simply means that we can be honest and not agree and be adults. Part of the problem is I find we as people often spend 90% of our energy on the 10% of things we do not agree on while you could have used all of that energy to get something accomplished instead and maybe in the process come up with a mutual solution often we would rather waste time trying to prove ourselves as correct. Who are we really proving ourselves to? It may seem lonely at times not to be a part of "The group mentality" but the truth is you never were there is always usually a focal point that builds their status and then uses that to exercise control. The truth is you are a free person free to feel free to interpret and free to think how you wish. A shout out to Linus who has come a long way from basic stuff too much more interesting tech tips. Just remember you have a choice as well being free of mind you can choose to be happy no matter the circumstance. I am sure you are already aware of this by Louis's explanation of your meet up. But just a reminder keep being you as Louis describes you seem to be down to earth genuine. Many people will envy this trait and try to change that stay true to what you are the fact is people wish they would have your success your resolve and so on. There is nothing more powerful than someone who is self-aware from that point of awareness you will understand who you are where you want to go in life and just do it. This is really the roadmap for success in anything it doesn't mean you need be self-centered or overly critical either just aware of who you are and realize that what you are is what you are what people think you are cannot be changed either don't get caught in that hampster wheel of proof to the world as it is a self-destructive path ripe with identity crisis. Accept who you are and accept what others think you are there are a trillion different ways of looking at something it doesn't mean one is wrong or one is right just be happy to be you. This is, in a nutshell, being the best version of yourself you cannot be the best version of yourself without first knowing yourself and second being yourself and last accepting whatever that is. Critical thinking will come natural you will find your own faults and the static of what others want you to be will subside.
I don't always say things in the most nuanced way and I can rub people the wrong way. A part of it is 325,000 subscribers. Let's say 0.001% of the population are seriously deranged, have unresolved anger issues, are stalkers/serial killers etc. If you have 30-50 coworkers/friends, that comes out to 0. With 325,000 subscribers, that means that 325 people who watch are seriously deranged... that's a lot of people. But it "feels like" everyone if you aren't experienced, because you have no way of "feeling" or knowing that the other 324675 that aren't nuts are there.
Google's solution for this should be like stats for hate vs positive comments... Would maybe give some direct context for content creators. Then with sufficient AI powers get a reverse-doxxing system :)
Saying things in a nuanced way doesnt help if they don't like what you are saying. even less if they want to get offended. you have a opinion. so some people have another one and cant deal with the fact that someone thinks something different. they are unable to see your point of view. some idiot will always get angry, doesn't matter what you say. even if you don't say anything, someone will tell you that it was your job to say something.
Good video. You cannot win against toxic groups. I was once in a conversation about sexual harassment at gaming conventions and made the "offensive" statement that victims should try their best to muster the courage to report it. Otherwise, nothing is going to change if people don't know about it. The group barraged me with insults, calling me an insensitive jerk because they assumed I'm a white man that had never been a victim and could never understand. And that I should just know my place and do nothing but pity victims and hate my fellow man. I then informed them that I was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying throughout my childhood in schools that tolerated it, and neither the school nor the police took any action when a bully attacked me with a weapon. I thought revealing this would prompt the group to lighten up. Instead, they called me a sympathy-mongering jerk and accused me of using my negative life experiences to gain sway in a conversation. *table flip*
Hi Louis, just wanted to say you do great work. I've been doing some component level repair for some time and can relate to everything you say about repair. Keep up the good work.
this is why we can't have nice things because of SJWs. Thanks so much Louis! Great video. I also love people that are in Hollywood or professional sports that think because of their position they are political wizards.
On the flip side, the anti-SJWs don’t want trans people in sports, don’t want their son to like the color pink, and completely reject that racism exists. Kinda weird how that works huh?
The underlying problem here is that social media provides everyone with an equal public voice. Not everyone deserves a public voice. Not everyone has intelligent, constructive things to say. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Big fan of you both (although I follow Linus for quite a bit longer). You didn't get some details of the story right - but the grand picture is correct. Linus spoke with Amazon staff about not paying. Also Linus does know about the difference between tampons and pads - he just thought tampons was a more clear search engine term before hand. When he was there they only had pads, but he sticked to the term tampons because, well it's a more well defined key word. Cheers from Europe
Please consider doing voiceovers for audiobooks! I would listen to them, I have no idea what you're talking about most of the time but you have a smooth voice :D
The current generation is literally blowing my mind. It's amazing how they care so much about what other people do/say. Rather than simply improving there own life....or maybe they've accomplished everything in life, that the only thing left on the list was to bag Linus. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
Louis, You are spot on regarding your observations. The fundamental point you circle around is we need to focus on the merits of a person's argument, and not focus on insulting (or extolling) their character. I'll not get into why I think this behavior is a trend, but this does seem to be on the rise, even at the highest level of government. If it does not stop, we will all suffer collectively.

They believe and trust in this technology so well, that they do not see it as an issue (which he also explained!).
The morons attacking him need to grow a brain. This isn't about the tampons, but they make it so. He should have stayed clear of feminine sanitary products for his example - that is how the world seems to be these days, and I personally have very little time, and tolerance, for people like this, that get so easily offended, about total ... utter ... shite.
parkamark yeah he didn't actually steal, he just figuratively stole it. which is part of the point of the video was too show the strong points if the system as well as the flaws he could immediately identify
parkamark He was planning do it with a male sanitary product (prophylactics), but it wasn't available, so he randomly used whatever non-male sanitary product the store had (and didn't have time to ask his wife what to pick up).
Seems there are more morrons who have access to internet just ignore their whine
Exactly. The point is for Linus to test the system, and point out the flaws.
The whole irony of those female commenting is that they don't know that Linus is married and has kids for a number of years now. Projection at its best.
I don't think men are interested in marrying Professional Women.
They are, just not the bitchy ones. that goes for party leeches and professional ones. i mean i don't want a woman who can't even make good money by herself, i'd rather marry a brick then lol.
But yeah you're right about the projection stuff. those are the type of females to avoid. they're miserable and bitter.
"harassment is wrong... unless we are the ones harassing". There is a term for those professionally offended people: cry-bully. More annoying and more unfair than a regular bully.
Louis, you speak the truth.
I always start watching your videos thinking "Oh he is going to say something outrageous. He is definitely a douche. I am going to unsubscribe." and then I finish the videos thinking "No. That makes sense. This guy is a good fella. I'm gonna leave a like."
I've been avoiding subscribing because I thought this was a strictly tech channel, but man, your like a Compute Dr. Phil up in here. I watch these videos more for your opinions and insight than any tech stuff. Cheers from Canada!
I showed some of this rant to my wife, she's an old school girl from the 1950's she was laughing out loud, literally. Many Thanks.
What all these "people" who attacked Linus and said he couldn't procreate don't know is that he's married and has a kid. I don't know whether or not that's really sad or really funny. Either way, it seems like in most things, the loudest critics are usually the least qualified to be critical. Anyone who's watched more than 20 LTT videos knows that he's married and is a father.
Well, technically he can't procreate now. He had a Vasectomy. I bet he gets laid quite a lot tho. 🤣
Louis Rossman I highly admire the fact that you do not only sharing your technical knowledge but also your life experiences in order to help others . I find your videos highly useful ! Thank you!
one man alone trying to fix the internet. had fun watching.
Bloody hell, man. That would take some strength on your behalf to put up with death threats. I had no idea it was so bad for you. Yet you carry on helping people fix stuff. Great respect for your efforts.
These people make it difficult for groups that actually DO get bullied and discriminated against.
not really the desire to protect is hardwired in some 'moral' people and maintaining civilization demands being just .
non sjws are the first to protect a girl in trouble if central park karen case is any indicator
as civilization depends on the women ,children and men.
@@omiorahman6283 you can still argue, that this kind of behavior could lead to a general desensitivation. It wouldnt affect the most moral people but it would probably make it harder to properly sensitivize the majority of people.
@@hannesknofel8408 true
Louis, this is great. You know when I first watched some of your videos, especially older ones (in a sweeping manner, just flicking through) I thought to myself "man, what an asshole know-it-all". But then I watched some of them, newer ones, thoroughly - some really difficult board repairs and also your "think it through" videos and I quickly realized how wrong I had been about you. You're a decent guy with clear mind. You have your own opinion, which is just great, and you're 100% yourself. Keep it up! And educate people just like you do. We DO appreciate it. Thank you!
Could not agree with you more, Louis. stupidity is rampant and it's getting worse
Stupidity is just easier to see today since anyone can have a voice. There's little evidence to support it's worst than ever.
People must love idiots, because every village has 'em.
@@robertp457 filthy Frank quote "now stupidity has been a problem since ages. But with the Advent of internet we see stupidity being paraded"
If it's any consolation, stupidity has been rampant for pretty much the entirety of human history. People have always found or made ways to do and say stupid things things in a public place. The only difference now is that those stupid people have a global forum to spout their stupid ideas on, so not only to people hear and see it easier, more people hear and see it.. On top of that, those other people can either call the original spout of stupidity out on the many times aforementioned stupidity or they can also start spouting that same stupidity. Either way, more people see the original stupidity, thus contributing to the perception that stupidity is getting worse. At any rate, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
@@vaibhavdabwalv1 Tying those sentences together nicely he finished with "In this day and age ignorance is a choice"
I'm definitely sharing this. I feel like a lot of people need to hear this. Love your content.
Just watched a man from New York who repairs laptops explain why society values the objective of procreation. What a world to live in.
Hey, I have a funny one. I went into a convient store one time and after pulling a drink off the soda machine, grabbing a coffee cake, I headed to the cashier, but there was no cashier. There was a poorly folded sign saying " I'm sorry, but I can't take this anymore so I quit, so please be honest and put your money in the cup provided" I see this big cup with a bunch of dollar bills in it. Here I am in an empty store looking at this cup. I'm thinking, what happens when a crook comes in ? I just jammed a 5 dollar bill in the cup and left.... to me this was strange and funny. Your opinion may vary....
A way you can see the fact that Linus bought pads: "What a nice man, he's buying pads for his wife."
The way SJW saw it (somehow): "What a sexist, white and male monster."
Your opinion is very valuable and I think you should share more of them in videos like these. Your display of enthusiasm is something I look forward to in each video I watch. Keep it up!
Thank you!
i love your rants, i really do. It has something which other rants do not have. i think it's called "common sense". It's something which is lacking in nowadays society
Common sense is the most uncommon thing in bitches nowadays actually.
been watching your videos last few days, and they are awesome, i was pretty depressed over the last few month and just listening to you has definitely improved my over all mood towards my self and others
Linus wanted to buy small condoms to take the piss out of himself. Amazon store didnt stock them, so the pads was the only thing they had in stock. I had no problem with the video at all. The whole thing was a joke and people need to chill out. Louis you are right in what are saying about the way things are. Respect.
Bernie Williams an informative joke!
25:59 - "Don't become defensive when you don't have to become defensive." Awesome quote man!
"Maybe he doesn't need a maxi pad or a tampon because HE HAS A Y CHROMOSOME".
That sounded so cool and I don't know why. Never paid any attention to the linus bs stuff about it all. I came for hating on Apple I stayed for the life lessons.
It might have sounded cool but it's a shit argument.
@@whifflingtit9240 you saying that statement is really aggravating, either you didn't watch the video or you are pissed off at Louis.
He says that Linus being a male does not fundamentally need a tampon or maxipad so it's okay, if he doesn't know the difference.
This way of thinking is what I live by. I'm glad to see that there's people out there that get that. I appreciate this video, Louis.
Yahoo! Back to the old Louis. Don't feel bad for breaking your resolution, Mayhem from Allstate did too.
:'(
Late to the party but I gave a thumbs up at 1:53 based on reasonable thinking and logic... Wished I could have given an additional like at 7:10...After watching the full video: Since I could not up vote this video more than once, any other notations of wanting to up-vote the video is moot. That being the case, I will thank you for articulating, very well and far better than I ever could, many of the practices and philosophies of being a descent human being and respecting others no matter our differences. Empathy is key. Thank you Louis!!!
I haven't watch Linus's video yet -- will soon, maybe some of the hate is a bit deserved for clickbate title and thumbnail? Pretty sure very few of those who are directing hate at him actually watched the video, or know anything about Linus -- that he is in fact married and has (2?) kids...but I think we can all agree that twitter is where humanity goes to die. I have a son and a daughter -- when we had our daughter, the nurse at the hospital took us both aside and showed how to properly clean a girl's parts -- yet, my wife probably knew, but I certainly didn't -- I don't have those parts, and never participated in any girls bathroom rituals -- not sure -- I guess it's not exactly a sexy thing to get your man involved in...my daughter is daddy's little girl, but rest assured when in 8-10 years when she does get her period, I'm sure I'll know less about it than my wife. I give our daughter baths, and get her dressed in the morning -- she is 4, hope not to get attacked by some weirdo perverts, and I put both of our kids to bed -- as a way to have some time with them after work, and give my wife a break as she is a stay at home mom. I also had to teach my wife proper cleaning of our son's private area -- somehow none of her past boyfriend's nor me for that matter felt the need to educate her on proper male hygiene. So schools are supposed to educate our kids on gender specific hygiene products/practices -- goodness....I give up.
I always giggled when these people pop their heads up and call me a virgin. It happens a lot on the net. I'm fairly sure Linus did as well. The stupidity and ideological cult narrative drips off them like a bible thumper on a street corner in the Texas midsummer heat. And I find them the biggest joke on themselves. Ideologies religions and cults always make you talk like and idiot.
A good thing might be to inform them that different parts work differently- oh wait sex ed and biology class already does that, have these people complaining about the school system even been a part of it is my question.
+tenshi7angel when parents and teacher's at my daughter's nursery school find out that I do her hair in the morning, they're shocked -- she has the best hair styles, how can a hetero father possibly do girl's hair? I'm not sure how to deal with bath situation, if I tell her, don't tell your teachers daddy gives you baths -- it sounds weird, or tell your teachers daddy gives you baths sounds weird. She was going to tell her teachers that daddy was blow-drying her hair, she got a huge kick out of it, the first time I got the blow dryer out because I didn't want her going to bed with a wet head of hair....my political views are liberal/progressive, but often times the 0-60 of the left self-righteousness makes me wonder what the hell is going on.
kazolar he technically did steal it from the Amazon store though
Yeah, his video is just a review of the Seattle Amazon Store. You saw right. And I do agree with you: in Québec, Canada, sex ed classes are restarting because the rate of young people infected with sexually transmissible diseases is going up. As much as some things seem taboo, it is very important to educate people about them. And btw this has nothing to do with Linus' video (which the title could've been "I stole orange juice from the Amazon Store!", would've been less controversial)
You might break your New Year's resolution, you might swear, but still, I like your wisdom and I think there is a lot I can learn from you. Thanks, Louis.
I love the little you in the background, so funny I’m imagining he’s like mini-me with a high pitch voice just copying what you’re saying
Like a video within a video within a video within a video within a video.
I see the Linus's video ..he didn't steal , he showed the weak point in Amazon system. But asshole is everywhere...sad thing.
Dang Quang Ngoc yeah in context he showed the weakness of the system, tho technically he stole it bc of that same thing. I'm not gonna say he didn't return it off camera, I will say that he got refunded bc of it
"Dear lord, PLEASE let me find a way, ANY WAY, that I can be offended today, so that I can spew my hatred, storm a restaurant, or just have a SPAZZ-FIT about SOMETHING!"
*thrwarts the troglodyte with chemical and psychological weapons* 😈😈😈
This is one point I couldn't agree more. Coincidentally, just listened to this today and before that I had such an encounter, I wonder what are the odds.
One thing I notice is that those who are genuinely like that, it is sadly a psychological overreaction with zero moderation (sadly, a quite human/normal reaction, it just manifests in many different ways, same issue though). They're trying to feel better by kicking someone down (i.e. they're not telling someone else they're bad, they're reinforcing to their subconscious that they're good). Specially if said someone can be placed into a convenient category such as an "oppressor" - then, to their eyes, their behavior _is_ different and justified, because they just subconsciously (i.e. the conscious has the benefit of ignorance) dehumanized the individual in question, because it is different to treat a now non-human being non-humanly. Ironic, really, that they complain about themselves or other groups being treated inhumanly but they cannot police themselves to not dehumanize others without realizing (or being able to accept) that they do such. That is when you get shit like a wealthy black boy who lives a luxurious life telling you that a homeless white man will always be less oppressed than he is, and the people who buy that crap. /rant
The LTT video was actually pretty interesting and joke was worth a little a laugh at most. It is sad to see this when the people doing this know nothing about him. If he was able do it with item he said he want to no one would have cared at all.
It's mind-boggling how relevant this video is almost 3 years later. Thank you Louis!
Unfortunately, the people at the top will benefit from divides like this. Real important issues are swept aside because it's easier to break each other down than to build up.
Dang I needed this bro , not for the internet but for people at work. Thanks for uploading this
Even though linus literally started the video along the lines of "I need to get x product for my wife, so I went 80 some km away to get it"
THANK YOU! This is the counter argument that should be put to practice ASAP
Society has devolved even more since this video.
Applause. Especially for everything after 26:27. Very concise analysis of the core issue.
"Singular way of viewing the world through this miserable lens of constant class race gender baiting on every issue"
Sir, you defined perfectly what I have been trying to define for a while. Thank you, I'm going to reuse this definition
Louis, I love your content (especially ones focused on character development) and it truly is helping me grow into a more confident person so thank you for your help in life, even if it's from an outside factor.
P.S. I love the part around 18:30 where your Italian accent starts showing because of your rage
Oddly enough I really don't want to continue my family line... I really don't want kids and all I really want out of any relationship is attention and hugs... am I really that weird?
The only one (besides Louis) making sense, doesn 't want children.
Humanity definately is lost a cause.
Ever watched the movie ' Idiocracy ' ?
Nah. Women can be bad and I can I understand someone not being part of that rngfest
Thank you. People need to be warned not to get into communal conflict- not to see everything from communal point of view. Stay individual stay human!
louis : *says linus*
subtitles : HE DEFINITELY SAID "lioness"
2 years later this pops up in my feed and I never was aware of the Linus video. Now I have to see it.
What you're referring to is not "strike to the jugular" but "ad hominem" afaik.
You're incorrect, ad hominem is just insulting someone. He's saying you're trying to end someone's ability to be happy.
Excellent breakdown a whole lot of truth in this people adopt group dynamics which are essentially small cults. A large reason is that they simply want to fit in and just agree. While I'm not giving you a ticket to be disagreeable about everything just to be a knob, I have to agree it is true everything you said here is with pinpoint accuracy! Solution is self-aware listen to the voice of reason the voice of reason is beyond your self-critical voice of fear and worry the constant state you remain in while in the hive mentality. There will be things you just do NOT agree with at your core but you continue down the path you even become what you are not just to identify as one of the hives. All the while it is keeping you from being you which is what is truly great your difference or indifference is what makes you. You must understand this while difficult it does not mean that we cannot work together still and have good relationships it simply means that we can be honest and not agree and be adults. Part of the problem is I find we as people often spend 90% of our energy on the 10% of things we do not agree on while you could have used all of that energy to get something accomplished instead and maybe in the process come up with a mutual solution often we would rather waste time trying to prove ourselves as correct. Who are we really proving ourselves to? It may seem lonely at times not to be a part of "The group mentality" but the truth is you never were there is always usually a focal point that builds their status and then uses that to exercise control. The truth is you are a free person free to feel free to interpret and free to think how you wish.
A shout out to Linus who has come a long way from basic stuff too much more interesting tech tips. Just remember you have a choice as well being free of mind you can choose to be happy no matter the circumstance. I am sure you are already aware of this by Louis's explanation of your meet up. But just a reminder keep being you as Louis describes you seem to be down to earth genuine. Many people will envy this trait and try to change that stay true to what you are the fact is people wish they would have your success your resolve and so on. There is nothing more powerful than someone who is self-aware from that point of awareness you will understand who you are where you want to go in life and just do it. This is really the roadmap for success in anything it doesn't mean you need be self-centered or overly critical either just aware of who you are and realize that what you are is what you are what people think you are cannot be changed either don't get caught in that hampster wheel of proof to the world as it is a self-destructive path ripe with identity crisis. Accept who you are and accept what others think you are there are a trillion different ways of looking at something it doesn't mean one is wrong or one is right just be happy to be you.
This is, in a nutshell, being the best version of yourself you cannot be the best version of yourself without first knowing yourself and second being yourself and last accepting whatever that is. Critical thinking will come natural you will find your own faults and the static of what others want you to be will subside.
how do you get hate mail? your totally cool.
I don't always say things in the most nuanced way and I can rub people the wrong way.
A part of it is 325,000 subscribers. Let's say 0.001% of the population are seriously deranged, have unresolved anger issues, are stalkers/serial killers etc. If you have 30-50 coworkers/friends, that comes out to 0. With 325,000 subscribers, that means that 325 people who watch are seriously deranged... that's a lot of people. But it "feels like" everyone if you aren't experienced, because you have no way of "feeling" or knowing that the other 324675 that aren't nuts are there.
Google's solution for this should be like stats for hate vs positive comments... Would maybe give some direct context for content creators. Then with sufficient AI powers get a reverse-doxxing system :)
some people are just reactionary fuckwits who have hate in their hearts. i hate those people (lol jk i no h8)
You meant 0.001, not 0.001%, Louis ;)
Saying things in a nuanced way doesnt help if they don't like what you are saying. even less if they want to get offended. you have a opinion. so some people have another one and cant deal with the fact that someone thinks something different. they are unable to see your point of view. some idiot will always get angry, doesn't matter what you say. even if you don't say anything, someone will tell you that it was your job to say something.
wow.....so much fun to watch the hand motions in the screen behind and behind and behind....slight delay in each one.......
@Louis Rossman I love your unhinged uncut life advice!
Good video. You cannot win against toxic groups.
I was once in a conversation about sexual harassment at gaming conventions and made the "offensive" statement that victims should try their best to muster the courage to report it. Otherwise, nothing is going to change if people don't know about it. The group barraged me with insults, calling me an insensitive jerk because they assumed I'm a white man that had never been a victim and could never understand. And that I should just know my place and do nothing but pity victims and hate my fellow man.
I then informed them that I was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying throughout my childhood in schools that tolerated it, and neither the school nor the police took any action when a bully attacked me with a weapon. I thought revealing this would prompt the group to lighten up. Instead, they called me a sympathy-mongering jerk and accused me of using my negative life experiences to gain sway in a conversation.
*table flip*
I always peg a tampon to the spokes of my menstrual cycle.
Great, now i have bloody vaginal spokes as a mental image, from a year old comment that i almost skimmed over.
Hi Louis, just wanted to say you do great work. I've been doing some component level repair for some time and can relate to everything you say about repair. Keep up the good work.
this is why we can't have nice things because of SJWs. Thanks so much Louis! Great video. I also love people that are in Hollywood or professional sports that think because of their position they are political wizards.
On the flip side, the anti-SJWs don’t want trans people in sports, don’t want their son to like the color pink, and completely reject that racism exists. Kinda weird how that works huh?
That picture in picture in picture recursive camera with delay is neat. Until you realize the 3rd Louis in line makes different gestures alltogether
I am sad that I live in the world, where this video had to be published.
I just discovered your videos. The repair ones are awesome, but these off-topic rants are my favorite.
2 years lather and we still live in the snowflake "I'm triggered" culture
I don't understand why rossman would be threatened. Your videos are great, your advice is good and you don't beat around the bush.
Glitter bombs, the worst offense of all
The evil in these people is not measurable
love the content you put out, keep up the awesome work
The underlying problem here is that social media provides everyone with an equal public voice.
Not everyone deserves a public voice.
Not everyone has intelligent, constructive things to say.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Big fan of you both (although I follow Linus for quite a bit longer). You didn't get some details of the story right - but the grand picture is correct. Linus spoke with Amazon staff about not paying. Also Linus does know about the difference between tampons and pads - he just thought tampons was a more clear search engine term before hand. When he was there they only had pads, but he sticked to the term tampons because, well it's a more well defined key word. Cheers from Europe
Are you the "gentleman from New York" that Eli the Computer Guy talks about periodically?
I am not sure.
Please consider doing voiceovers for audiobooks! I would listen to them, I have no idea what you're talking about most of the time but you have a smooth voice :D
MA Hu that's a really good point. I hadn't noticed this before.
MA Hu i agree audio naration for self help books
Also, please keep doing these life commentary videos besides the reperation videos
Absolutely
MA Hu justed fucked all over what louis said XDDDDDDDDDDD
I don't understand how Louis is always so calm, clear-headed, and rational. Maybe that's a by-product of success.
The current generation is literally blowing my mind. It's amazing how they care so much about what other people do/say. Rather than simply improving there own life....or maybe they've accomplished everything in life, that the only thing left on the list was to bag Linus.
Love your videos, keep up the good work.
I really enjoy the infinite number of Louises in the background of the videos lately
Louis-ception
Louis,
You are spot on regarding your observations. The fundamental point you circle around is we need to focus on the merits of a person's argument, and not focus on insulting (or extolling) their character. I'll not get into why I think this behavior is a trend, but this does seem to be on the rise, even at the highest level of government. If it does not stop, we will all suffer collectively.
6:22 Everything we do in life that drives us is all about procreation? Not even close.
Great topic, and straight to the point as usual.
:-)
"I see humans, but not humanity". This is becoming so true.
Humans, am I right?
Shit, was that racist? LOL
"Humans" includes black people, so yes its racist.
Love your vids, Louis. Keep telling the truth. We NEED more people like you in the public space.
Louis Rossman for President of the USA!
Nailed it done right. This video is sad if you think about it. We shouldn’t be in a spot where any of this needs to be said.

I love how this has made Linus and Louis BFFs
This is the type of open minded thinking that I love. Please never take philosophy out of your channel, it's beautiful.
Come for the electronics repair, stay for the red pill 💊😂
You are awesome to calling out even your own flaw with the Linus thing with the toaster oven
There's an app? Hmmm, I'm a female didn't know.
You know it’s a good video when all the comments are about the actual video and not the infinite mini yous in the screen behind you
Lmao
Wait until your in your 50's. You will care more about a good cheese burger than procreating.
Thank you, this really makes perfect sense for me why this "wrongthink" is so unnecessary.
