My mom walked by while I was watching this and she stopped and asked, "What is that?". She needed to know about the Emotional Support Demon before she could carry on with her day. She's now chuckling to herself about the, "cute little demon".
Lol my niece had a very similar reaction to the plushie on the screen (I had my headphones in, don’t worry! I promised my brother I wouldn’t warp the child’s mind until she’s a teenager) and since I can’t afford to get her one, but I can draw for free, I drew her a little picture of it to carry around (and added little demon wings) and she loves it. Her parents are less happy about it but whaddaya gonna do? 😂
@@TheNormExperience tell them to teach her about real life horrible things. Like pedophiles. Those are real and can hurt kids. A plush toy is a toy. Or there are other dangerous things in life like slipping on ice and hurting head. Much ouchie, very real. You know? The things kids should be wary about? Take another example, horror stories for kids called bedtime stories like don't go to woods, there may be wild animals there that can hurt you, don't talk to random strangers, be polite you never know how pretty the person you're talking with is. Those are useful stories. But hey! Hating on a toy is much easier! It can't fight back. Also. If they really want to make her dislike demons as in, ZE BIG DANGER style demons, introduce them to Warhammer 40 000 and give Nurgle as an example of why demons are scary. Nurgle followers can be nice and pretend to be wholesome. And use anyone as a biobomb. And in the world of Warhammer everyone is a villain in some sort of way, whether they knowingly do horrible things or unkowingly because consequences. Which is also an important lesson on socializing in society. Real life is full of enough dangers that everyone should know. And methods of dealing with them like knowing how to use fire extinguisher. But for some reason there is enough tiktok and TH-cam videos full of people not knowing. Show them that and then ask if they want to give their kid a red colored ball shaped plush toy with two yellow eyes as a reward for, dunno, maybe learning a few safety rules related to fire? Why? Because demons - fire is a common trope and her doing effort and getting a fair prize that is kept for yearS may just hammer the safety manual deep enough that when (not if) she needs them, she will act with knowledge, not ignorance. There. Reasons enough?

What kind of festering evil shit hole makes it *_illegal_* to give homeless people food, clothes and blankets? Honestly, the thought of that is bringing me to tears. What an evil place.
Chaotic good moment: That one time one of my male friends started reacted to a guy harassing me in the street. He acted as if HE was the one being hit on and went on and on about how "charmed" he was and asked if the guy wanted to get a drink with him. It was so funny.
The guy telling people outside planned parenthood to go adopt kids is my hero. I literally wrote my college thesis on how broken the foster care system is and how nobody seems to care about it. I was in foster care myself for about a year and a half, the same year that funding got cut nationwide (bill to cut funding was signed in 2018, went into effect 2019-2020). The home I lived in was supposed to be visited by our Senator but he ghosted us, then that same Senator proceeded to campaign on banning abortion. All of this to say that “pro-life” people tend to not care about life, they only care about control (obviously not all of them, but a lot of them). It makes me genuinely happy to see other people going out there and telling them “if you care about saving kids so much, why don’t you help your local foster kids?” The hero we all deserve.
This is an interesting story where you make a good point, but I'm confused as to how you can have written your college thesis already when you were a minor in 2018 and maybe even 2019 or 2020. You got your college thesis over a year ago, and for someone who turned 18 in 2018 (if not later) getting a bachelor's degree in Dec 2022 (at the latest) is already pretty difficult. But then from my knowledge, a thesis is usually written for even higher degrees than that. So what degree did you write a thesis for and how did you do it so fast?
@@ArcanineEspeon As someone who graduated high school 2 years early and whose mom graduated high school 3 years early, this comment made me chuckle. While some states have a policy you can only skip one grade, many do not, and even in states with that policy in place, you can drop out in the 8th grade, get your GED as early as 14 and be admitted to college next semester. It's really not hard. Filing FAFSA is a bit of a pain when you're underage, but if anything, having foster parents means your guardians' tax returns are already in the system - it'd probably get your federal student aid processed faster, not slower. Between that and the fact that I know people who have done 4 year degrees in 3, either through taking 21 credits a semester or taking summer courses, I have to wonder how you think education works - are you under the impression that you have to be a certain age to do something or certain lengths are mandatory? Because we don't go off of a timing based system in the US, actually. We go by credit earned in college and 4 years of high school is not compulsory under US law. (And thank God for that, because high school was boring as shit.)
I have brought up the " Are you gonna adopt any of those kids?" thing a bunch of times and it's actually like an instant checkmate. So far no one has ever continued the conversation after it. They only care about getting their way. They never care about the kids.
All about controlling women - there are a very few people who claim to help, but a lot of people still ignore and even reject the reality that pregnancy is risky and sometimes even very much wanted ones need to be ended for the mother’s safety. It’s not taken lightly and someone not wanting the responsibility of a child isn’t simple frivolity.
I know 8 families that have adopted children and one more that is in the middle of the long application process. Just wondering how you would continue the conversation if you happened across one of them one day and they answer "Yes."
@@snowangelnc it would be rare to find someone who could adopt 3000 kids or at least provide funds to ensure the mothers who were forced to carry to term will be provided Healthcare, safe homes and food for the next 18 months.
@@snowangelnc Then ask them "Are you also going to adopt all those of the women here that you don't want to let abort?" It's easy to demand of someone to make a decision that will impact their whole life like having a baby, when you are not the one bearing the consequences.
Also, I want to join that person handing out adoption papers to the people protesting abortion. Like, SERIOUSLY! None of you are willing to adopt, yet have the audacity to deny a person's agency over their own body when the child doesn't even exist yet? And make it so that you FORCE the child to exist, but want NOTHING to do with them after they are born? The hypocrisy is disgusting!
I could rant for days about how broken the foster care system is. I would be out there with him too, showing them articles about the abuse foster kids suffer, telling them the stories I’ve heard. Because they’re not about saving the kids, they’re about controlling people, and it’s so obvious. If I ever saw one of these protests I’d have to whip out my college thesis I swear 😂😂
If I was one of the people walking around. First of all I wouldn’t be in that group. Second of all I was adopted at a young age so if they hand me adoption papers I would ask what the kid’s name is. I would then join them.

As someone who had undiagnosed ADHD and dyscalculia growing up, you constantly get kind of left out and embarrassed because you get called out when you mess up something simple, and I kept failing tests and whatnot. Especially when you get the “answer this and everyone gets to leave”. The happiness I felt for those kids who got to go to Chuck-E-Cheese for once
I have mild adhd and was a very good student, but I was always the last to finish speed spelling, and times tables competitions. I’d have to finish some of my tests at lunch after everyone else finished early. I felt such embarrassment and humiliation. But my brother has way more severe add and dysgraphia, if that’s how I felt, how awful must it have been for him, even after his diagnosis.
@@anneanonymous4202 I wasn't a bad student in most subjects. I just had a hard time with math and maps really- but I was seen as a bad student because I was "slow".

Still wouldn't want that feeling upon anyone
@@spooooket I was genuinely an amazing student in class, so nobody saw a problem or could understand why I just could not do homework. I could not get organised to remember what I was supposed to do, or by what day, and if I did I could not organise myself to know how to allocate my time to not end up scrabbling to finish at 4am on something due in at 9am. Called all the usual by parents and teachers - lazy, stupid, disinterested etc. Didn't get diagnosed with ADHD till 34. Man, how I wish one person had looked beyond my classroom smarts and undisrutiveness, it sucks how the ability to manage in one setting makes people lack understanding when you struggle in another.
Giving adoption papers to the protestors at Planned Parenthood... That reminds me of the case of this one woman (lady 1) who talked a young lady (lady 2) out of an abortion. Lady1 then gets surprised when 6 months after lady2 gave birth had her baby taken away and she (lady1) was on the list to be the preferred person to take the baby. Lady1 was posting things like "I can't take this baby! I'm too busy! It would ruin my marriage!" .... you know things that the lady 2 was saying was reasons why she first wanted an abortion for.
This is why it's stupid when people make similar arguments about refugees. "You won't invite migrants to live in your house but you expect me to live within the same city as them?" Clearly one party is demanding much more than the other.

With the Ukraine catfish one, it's been done before, but much higher risk. I heard a French woman being interviewed once. She and here sister used to lead on German soldiers and then slip off somewhere quiet to be alone with them - and a few armed members of the resistance. She must have been a really popular girl since none of the soldiers ever complained afterwards :)
It was actually quite common One thing that made it successfull was that plenty of women were actually interested Some were genuine due to the weinmahr soldier sometimes being quite nice Other took advantage of the fact german soldier generally had more money than the locals I know a lady that was 17 at the time and once flirted with the soldiers to have some resistant steal their gas and provision (she did a lot more but that's one of the funnier tale) I understood why everyone respected her
A relative of mine once did the "good dognapper" bit. The "legit owner" was a hoarder, keeping several hundred dogs outside on three foot leashes for their whole lives with no medical care, not enough food, and no shelter... in the middle of Alaska. The rest of their animals were taken away shortly after my relative stole one... Unfortunately, many of the dogs were in such poor health that they had to be put down. Glad my relative was able to save that one. He was a great dog.
Tactical catfishes are definitely nothing new. There were three Dutch teenagers during WW2 who seduced Nazi soldiers in the Netherlands to later kill them or find out more information about where they kept Jewish people and homosexuals so the girls could hide the discriminated minorities from the Nazi's evil eye. One of them was 14 years old at that time. There is a book about them. I can't remember the title, but it's a great read.
@@L_emonaderose If its the same one I read, its "Seducing and Killing Nazis: Hannie, Truus and Freddie: Dutch Resistance Heroines of WWII" by Sophie Poldermans. Incredible story, highly recommend.
I took my trans bf to planned parenthood for an appointment, and there were protesters. So to keep them from yelling at my boyf as we were walking in, I just started singing Radiohead at the top of my lungs (I do on stage performances so I can PROJECT) and they were barely able to harass him, added by the fact I'm a 6 foot 250 man and none of them wanted to get physical. It made my bf happy, which made me happy Edit: just because this continues to be one of my most popular posts ever, I thought I'd update you all that said boyfriend is currently getting top surgery as I type this. 😁
One time my Israeli camp counselor was trying to tell me she was bisexual, but she didn’t know how to say it so she kept saying “Beesexual” “You’re what?” “I’m… how you say… beesexual”
hi, as an israeli i KNOW what you’re talking about- first of all, israelis literally cant pronounce the soft “i”. igloo becomes “eegloo”, bisexual become “beesexual”, etc. second of all, in hebrew, “bisexual” is called ״ביסקסואל״, which is literally pronounced “bee-sex-zu-al”. so you can see where the misunderstanding comes from lmao
I've got something like that. My "best friend" was going to abandon her cat in one of the rich neighborhoods in town. I talked her into letting me look after it for a while. She visited the cat TWICE in eight months. She and I had a falling out because of her meth dealing boyfriend and I told her that she could get the cat if she wanted to. She opened my message, never responded, and blocked me. The cat (named Stu) is happy with me and I wouldn't trade that fuzz ball for anything in the world. Because of what happened, she has separation anxiety and needs a lot of attention. Most nights, I fall asleep while petting her and listening to her purr. Despite most people telling me she's worthless, I still love her and have even gone without food so I could afford food and water for her. Not only is she happier, but her eating problem has worked itself out. She used to eat a few bites of food and go take a nap. I think she was unhappy with her old situation. She's a healthy 13 LBS (proper weight for her size) and makes me happy to know that she's safe and happy. Update: She's now a healthy 16 LBS and still a goofball who gets all the love she wants.
Aww. She obviously appreciates it. I’ve had rescue dogs my whole life, and bc they’ve been through rough times, they seem to appreciate any kindness extra. Also, I’ve seen animals that get dumped in the “nice” part of town. In my experience, people don’t take them in, they call animal control- _especially_ in the nice part of town.
Fun fact about the bee eviction attack: the woman who unleashed the bees was not the one being evicted. She just pulled up in an SUV with a flatbed full of beehives.
I've worked a chain pet store where management was lazy & pretty shitty, pay was horrible & the policies were atrocious. The amount of perfectly good food/treats/toys we were supposed to just toss was disgusting, but at least the manager in charge of that department always asked if anyone needed anything & typically let me just drop it off at local rescues anonymously. Once, it was probably $300 worth of chews that was just going to the trash because we weren't selling it anymore (not bad or recalled, just not selling) so I took all of it & dropped it off at a dog rescue. We would give out nearly expired cans to people feeding cat colonies instead of letting perfectly good food go to waste.
I did the same when I worked in a bakery, I wasnt going to let all that food go to waste, so I donated it to a breadline secretly. The boss was never there, so I didnt get caught.
@@janemiettinen5176oh god yeah, the amount of waste bakeries create is ridiculous! My brother currently works at one, and they’re not allowed to take anything with them at the end of the day, but most of the employees do it anyway. He always packs up as much as he can carry, and hands it out to any homeless people he sees on his way home. I just don’t understand that policy at all. There are literally so many people who could benefit from the leftover food, and they just have to throw it away?? 🤨
Historical war catfish - some girls in The Netherlands in ww2 I think would invite the soldiers on dates, take them into a middle of the forest and lead them straight to a trap. It was just less technology involved, but a very similar tactic.
@@fionafiona1146 They did something similar in France as well. The wined them, dined them and then sliced their throats in an opportune moment. But then again, the biblical story of Ruth is way older and just the same. She seduced the head of an invading army and then chopped his head of, dumped his head in front of the people that wanted to surrender cause they hoped God would help them... Ruth did not agree with them.
Yeah, where was the ASPCA in that story? Why did the cops not charge the original owner with animal cruelty (Which is at the very least a misdemeanor in most states)? That was a clear cut case of a rescue, not a theft.
I wonder if the person had been trying to "train" the dog to be a "guard dog" by making it hate people due to all the abuse I assume he was heaping onto the poor pup.
The guys using parkour to turn off neon lights to shops that are closed is the kind of activism we need. Not pouring milk at the grocery stores, not gluing themselves to the floors at a car show, not throwing oil or paint on art pieces, not chaining themselves together on the highway. All those are destructive and are ultimately harming the movement. Meanwhile, the absolute Chads in Paris are not only doing something productive, they are also creating a positive impact by preserving energy and lowering the electricity cost for the store owners. It's an all around win.
Chaotic good is my favorite hobby. I live in the US, in a red state, and during the "lock down" I needed to go to Planned Parenthood for birth control. I'm a full-grown woman who knows her Bible, her rights, and her science. I am not one anti-abortionalists should mess with. But they did. And I was already annoyed. Then some holier-than-thou, maskless, old, white woman with a Sunday school education wants to tell me about ending Planned Parenthood at a clinic that doesn't even offer abortions. I made it a bad day for her. Some days I think I should go back and do it again.

22:40 - The dognapper. My wife has a similar story: A few years ago, when my wife left the gym she would take a specific route back home that had a house with a cat. This cat was in a pretty bad shape, had bruises and scabies all over, but he loved following my wife around and was overall adorable. After the first few times walking by there and being greeted by the cat, she rang the doorbell and confirmed the cat was theirs (he wasn't allowed inside and he was pretty slim, and street cats are very common in Brazil), and if they would allow her to either let her adopt the cat, or if she could take him to the vet and cover all his treatment (they were welcome to join the process). The owner asked her 13yo daughter, that just shook her head for both. They didn't want to treat the cat, but also didn't want to give it up. We felt bad about not being able to do anything, but well... it happens. My mother in law knew about the cat and would always complain that my wife was too attached to it, until she took that route herself for the first time and saw the cat. She was so heartbroken to see his condition, that when she got home, she got a reusable eco bag and went back. She just put the cat inside it and he came all the way purring. If she left the cat there, I don't think he would've made it the next 2 months. I feel bad about the family, but the cat is now named Theo, lives not far from his old prison and is very happy, healthy and purring with his 7 other brothers and sisters at my mother-in-law's home.
Ironically I have a similar story. One of my neighbors got a dog for their son, but they didn't know how to train her or anything, and not long after, started caging her outside. I'd of course started teaching the dog basic commands and she literally was way smarter than the lady gave her credit for. Ended up there was a pretty bad thunderstorm out one day and said dog was outside attached to the cage with a leash and dragging it around. Now, of course I know that lightning+metal=dead dog, so when the family had left for several hours to go to eat out, I decided I'd had enough. Went out there and brought the dog into my own house and called animal control. Even got the dog to learn sit, stay, and heel while she was inside and waiting. Animal control came and picked her up, and later the family came back and thought the dog had run away. I caught a post at the animal shelter she'd been taken to a while later talking about this wonderfully smart and well-behaved dog they had there and I was glad to see she'd gotten numerous applications from people who read the post and wanted her. Glad to know that Suki went to a good home and hope she has a wonderful life!
@@Serai3 I don't feel bad about their mom (owner) that was responsible for it, but the daughter might have had some emotional attachment to the cat, regardless if the mom was a sh*tt* caretaker.
Oh my gosh, I live in a university town and the whole town is menaced by bad drivers trying to get out of town quickly. There will be huge lines and they don’t always pay attention to street lights. Like the car in front of me is going so I must be able to go. I have to use a walker, and it’s not a good thing
Used to work at a fast-food place and the manager was awful. Prep told her they needed to throw out some spoiled tomatoes. I saw these tomatoes. They were literally blue from mold (they had not been sealed correctly). Manager grabbed a glove, threw away the top few, then told her to use the rest as "they looked fine" to her. Not two minutes later, I came by with an armload of cups from the back and "accidentally" knocked the spoiled tomatoes onto the floor. This was neither the first or last time we had to handle food safety issues she ignored to save on costs.
Your story about your friend getting "damaged goods" reminded me of a program that Woolworths started a few year ago (at least in Australia) where they package perfectly good but misshapen vegetables and sell them for a slightly lower price. I remember it took a while to catch on for many because people kept associating the strange shapes with bad food. Personally, I quite like my heart shaped potatoes.
Odd Bunch fruits and veggies, love those things because without that the farmers have to throw all that stuff away and the price difference is enough to make it worth buying. Nothing wrong with something that doesn't "look perfect", it still tastes the same and most of it is stuff that will get cut up and cooked anyway.
From what I understand, "unsellable" crops generally don't go COMPLETELY to waste. They're usually composted, so you can use them for growing more food. Whether that's better or worse than selling it all, I don't know.
"Hostile Pedestrianism" is how I might describe one of the stunts my great grandpa pulled as a young man in the 50s. (I have several stories of other silly and clever things he did.) He was at a stoplight, waiting to cross the road, when a car pulled up and stopped partly into the intersection. The car was obviously blocking the crosswalk, but since the signal to walk had been given, well, by golly my gg was going to walk! The driver had stopped so far over the line that the back half of the car was sitting in the crosswalk, and the rear doors were just about flush with where he would have walked. So rather than go around, my great grandpa pulled open the rear door, got in, closed the door behind him, and scooted all the way across the back seat before opening the second door to get out and resume walking across the street. Apparently the lady driving was so startled that she couldn't even speak, though the look on her face was reportedly "priceless". Ladies and gentlefolk, my ornery great grandfather!
I once had to cross the road to get to the bus, there was a crosswalk, but the cars keep coming full speed as if they could not see us. The elder next to me had enough, told us to follow her, and extanded her cane in front of her. The cars had no choice but to let us pass if they diden't want to scrap their car paint.
When I was in school I was part of an elderly care project (all students had to be in a social project, and we went to the middle of nowhere once every week to entertain them and check on their health, we did dancing, fun games, muscle pain relief exercises, calligraphy and many other things!) and one time at the end they were waiting to cross the street (that was more like a small highway actually) to get to the bus stop and the cars weren't stopping even though there was clearly about a dozen senior citizens waiting for them to do so, so we said fuck it and stood in the middle doing a human chain stopping traffic until all of them got to the other side, and making mocking faces (and sneaking a few middle fingers when our teacher wasn't looking) at the people that were impatiently honking at us, it felt great!!
My dad was a little of a chaotic good/neutral prankster at work. In any company, there is always a board where advertisement for local stuff are pinned, as well as security phone numbers and emergency stuff. Well, he made good use of that board by pinning jokes and memes, made with the professionalism of a graphic designer so it wouldn't look odd for anyone who'd just skim over the board. His colleagues loved it. When Covid-19 struck and the bathrooms had those educational posters to teach grown ass men how to wash their hands, he made the same kind of poster that taught how to take a poo. To the emergency phone numbers list, he also added fake numabers for a various absurd needs, like an exorcist, a telekinesist, a witch, an emotional support puppeteer, and so on. It sure never served any tangible 'good' cause, but it made him and his colleague's days. For them who drove hours in snow, hail, delivering goods for a meager pay, humour was a balm to the heart and a spirit lift when they all started their hard day.
Why list just fake numbers for those services though? I actually could use the services of a good witch and I could use more clients as an emotional support philosopher.

21:00 yep. It's a law designed to "dissuade" homeless people from "loitering". Which in truth means "make them suffer so they go away and we don't have to see them". Sadly laws like that are common all over the US. Come from the same place as spikes on walls and bars on benches designed to prevent homeless people from resting on them.
Homelessness is a very complex issue. There is no one silver bullet that will get rid of it. Many of the contributing factors, such as lack of affordable housing, lack of funding for mental health, lack of safe places for people addicted to illegal substances, etc are all social programs that are apparently political suicide to champion. So instead, politicians "make the problem go away" by criminalizing homelessness and using hostile architecture. Its a cruel irony that by criminalizing homelessness, they make it that much harder for people to escape it. Nothing helps get you into a home like crippling debt! Edit: One other thing I forgot to mention is many cities also have programs to bus the homeless to other cities.
@@randomstuff-qu7sh There is the fairly obvious solution of just giving people homes, but a lot of people would rather leave homes vacant than let them be used by those that can't "afford" them. As you said about other good programs we need, suggesting it is apparently political suicide.
@@OmniLiquid Its an obvious solution, but hard to make it happen. In the US, helping average people instead of businesses seems almost taboo. PPP loans and loan forgiveness were no problem, but Student Debt Forgiveness gets blocked by the courts. That makes any government program to give homes to the homeless fairly unlikely without some significant changes. That said, another force that blocks affordable housing is the NIMBY effect. People know its needed, but don't want it anywhere near them because it may damage their property values and because they fear that bringing poor and/or homeless people into their neighborhoods will increase crime.
Yeah, its seriously mesed up. I remember one subway got rid of benches and put in "leaning bars" to "dissuade" homeless. On one hand its sad that most of the outrage they got was people upset at their inconvenience. On the other hand a bunch of disability advocates spoke out (a group that also doesnt get the best publicity or thought and definitely weren't considered when this was implemented) as well as senior/aging advocates (who have alot more influence especially in conservative political circles) helping to draw attention and awareness to what was happening.
The story where the government was held hostage until the road was fixed reminded me of the Japanese workers strikes during the rebuilding after ww2. They locked out the warehouse managers and continued producing so they wouldn't be blamed for disrupting rebuilding efforts. They hijacked the factories. Amazing stories in the worker's rights spectrum. Highly recommend that topic!
Japanese bus drivers on strike have done something similar in recent times where they keep to their schedules and routes but won't accept payment in the tills from passengers. Really great way to put the middle finger up to the bosses while not inconveniencing average people who need the transportation.
23:00 Mel and Sue basically quit on day one to protest how up in the contestants' faces the show was, and how the producers worked to make them cry. They were brought back, and the Great British Bake Off was all the better for it.
The one with the dog is shockingly similar to an event My Mother went through. we were at a Beach when Mom noticed people harming their dog she got into a argument with them then stated she'd be taking the dog. the jerks threatened to call the Cops and did when mom said "go ahead" the Cops arrived...and promptly sided with Mom lol "I see nothing wrong here" even the Cops thought they were scum. that dog a Rhodesian Ridgeback we called Abby went on to live a long far happier life with us.
Reminds me of how my sister got her dog. She's a paramedic and she was called to an OD and, after reviving the patient, tried to convince her to stop doing heroin, at least for her neglected dog's sake. The patient said that if my sister cared so much about the dog, why not just take it- and so my sister did. That's how she and her husband got Hazel, named after the street name for heroin.
The dog my family had up until I was about 12 was a husky/st bernard mix that had belonged to someone down the street from them from before I was born. The people moved. The dog didn't. When animal control picked him up and they realized what had happened, they went straight down there and got him back out. His name was Smokey and at 80lbs, he thought he was a lap dog. 🤣
My aunt lived next to an elderly person who neglected their chihuahua, but not horribly. Then they died. Their kids went to take care of things but didn’t go near the dog. Pat went over, unchained the dog, left chain in a neat “a human did this” spiral. Like 2, 3 days later someone came to inquire. Pat told them it was her dog now and closed the door. Yeah, if you get out of the hospital and the chain Pupper was on is spiraled a human has her. Be very obviously at home those winter days they might keep it
I heard once about some girls in WWII who would lure Nazi soldiers with the promise of sex, and then kill them instead. The teens in Ukraine catfishing Russian soldiers reminds me of that, and I love it.
Yup. There were even "freedom fighters" who took lessons in seduction and coloured their hair blonde, so that they could either lure the soldiers into a secluded area and kill them or hope to seduce some high ranking officer who'd then let some info slip during pillow talk or simply by saying when they could and couldn't meet up etc.
Seduction has been a tool of war for a very long time, it just evolves as our technology does, too. And that is awesome. The sexy assassin trope exists because it was actually a thing that was done.
Referring to the hostile pedestrian post: One time when I was still walking my sisters to and from school, we were in the middle of a crosswalk and a van pulled out and nearly hit my, at the time, 9 year old sister... If that woman had not kept driving I would have screamed at her. People stopped their cars and honked at her too but she just kept driving. She was too fast for me to get the licence plate, or else I would have called the cops Because of that incident, I do a lot of the stuff that person does. Stare people dead in the eyes, race them to the cross. I've nearly been hit a few times, but it's worth it
I almost got hit by a car in a crosswalk at single digits, too. My mom had been walking me home from school, and yanked me back by either my shirt or bookbag just as I was about to step into the crosswalk, as a silver car raced out of the school zone. Genuinely raced out of it- we were just passed the sign and it was a 20 mph zone, and this guy was passed so quick I hardly had time to process what had happened
Only in the US… In Europe, they stop on a dime for you even if you only think about crossing I once stopped for a pedestrian in Virginia and all of a sudden a car comes screaming around me on the right in a turn lane. I leaned on the horn because I thought he was about to run over the poor girl who was still in the crosswalk directly in front of him. He rolled down his window and cursed me out for “almost causing an accident,” before pulling in front of me from the right turn lane and zooming off at top speed. He had been about 3 cars behind me, I’m not sure how him driving too fast and too close to be able to stop safely was my fault. At the next stop light, I came up beside him and just kept repeating “There was a pedestrian” over and over while he screamed obscenities at me. I still am unsure if he ever realized the pedestrian was there.
@@heatherduke7703 as someone whose sister got run over by a car while crossing the street living in europe i dont know if i agree with the above statement. (shes fine tho!) cars give me anxiety and i stay at the crosswalk until they have mostly come to a full stop before i even attempt to cross. bad and greedy drivers live everywhere im afraid :(
I suppose it depends on the city in Europe. In Paris, I slow down purposefully whenever a car honks at me for crossing in front of them. In other parts of France, I smile, wave and thank the drivers who usually, inevitably, slow down and let me cross.

As far as using the Taking The Hobbits To Isengard to drown out Nazis is probably what Tolkien would have wanted. I mean, Tolkien *hated* Nazis, and using memes out of his work to drown them out honestly sounds like the kind of thing he would pull if he was alive today.
The Nazi Party wrote a letter to him once asking him if he was Jewish or Aryan. He then proceeded to say he wished he was Jewish, and did a deep-dive into how the actual origins of the Aryan race and the term Aryan were in India, meaning that he was not Aryan, a thing he lamented. Bro brought out archaeo-linguistics just to go, "No, I'm not Aryan. Are you?" out of sheer spite. A legend.
The crosswalk thing is a mood. When I was a tour guide I would walk out into the crosswalk (it had flashing lights to let drivers know that there were pedestrians actively crossing) when cars looked like they were going to fly through and yell "Hit me! Do you know how much I will get if you hit me in this crosswalk? Me neither, let's find out"
That last guy was correct. It is great advice for people who want to unalive themselves. What have you always wanted to do? Well go do it before you go. You've got nothing to lose.

No but seriously, I went through a very severe depressive episode last year and was seriously ready to go quietly into that long dark night. I knew it was bad because I wasn't even hysterical or dramatic ian thinking about it, just totally calm and logical. But I had a few book ideas I'd been drafting forcafew years that I'd not given the time to sit down and actually write as I saw it as a bit of a self indulgent waste of time where I could be doing something more adulty and productive. Well, I'm still here, a couple of dozen thousand words into the prose, and have a couple of publishers potentially interested. All because I made a deal with myself that I had nothing to lose so why not take the time to see them stories I'd imagined be brought to life on paper before leaving the mortal coil.

The dog one reminds me of how we got one of our boxer dogs. A friend of mine found her wondering around the town she lived in looking super skinny and skittish. My friend was able to carry the dog miles home and for context my friend was barely 5’ tall and this was a year old+ (we never were 100% on her age) boxer dog. Well fast forward a few months and my family has taken the dog in. My mom was at the post office talking about how we ended up with this dog and a guy overhears her. He asks where the dog was found, what she looks like, etc. When my mom describes our dog, the man says “I’m pretty sure that’s my brother’s dog.” My mom got worried because we were already super attached to this sweet pupper and she was worried he was going to insist we give her back. Instead, the man looked right at her and said, “Don’t post anything about her. Keep her. It sounds like she had a good home with you and my brother never did take care of that dog.” Apparently the guy would just tie her up in his back yard, regardless of how bad the weather was, and just leave her there. He didn’t feed her near often enough and judging from how hand shy she was when we first got her I’m fairly sure he hit her. I’m so glad his brother saw she was in a better home and didn’t tell him. We had her for many years until she finally passed of old age and gave her all the loves and cuddles she could ever need.

Much like the crosswalk story a group of people at my university painted a "rogue" crosswalk near the Arts building. The other proper crosswalks were super far away and it could be dangerous sometimes. Of course students I used the new crosswalk. It oooked pretty legit with the exception of the usual crosswalk figure wearing a beret and holding a paintbrush 🖌️. ☺️ The powers that be got rid of it, but students rallied. Now there is an official crosswalk a short while later. Yay!! Pretty cool for what started as an art project!! Go artists!! 💕
Then there is my university, according to legend when they first built the campus they did not put down sidewalks and waited to see what paths students took. Then built sidewalks were the grass got worn down. By observing the current sidewalks, I honestly think it was a bit of both pre building some sidewalks then adding new ones when students would take shortcuts through the grass.

At one point the king ask this bad guy how should he celebrate the best person in the city. The bad guy thinks it HIM so he creates the best possible celebration. But it was actually for the bad guys enemy and the bad guy had to become a sort of jester for the celebration.) The bad guy hand triangle shaped ears and a triangle shaped hat (Don’t ask me why) so we eat triangle shaped cookies with jam in them to celebrate his death. (Sort of) The cookies are called hamentashesns btw.

The chaotic working is a thing I do as a cashier, like our store doesn't take the "restaurant tickets" that we have in France but everytime I have elderly people or families I know struggle financially I "accidentally" push the 30% off button on my register for meat, cheese and stuff. We only put the 30% off sticker on when it's close to experiation date but they aren't like actually registered in the computer if they have been put on and which products are concerned so no one from up above could ever say anything to me. This way I help out people but can make sure I don't loose my job ^^' So yeah anyone working the register in ALDI if you wanna be chaotic good that is a good way of doing it :3
I live in Canada and my friend recently let me know about a good rescue program she works at. This program is led entirely by volunteers. It collects food that grocery stores can't use.

Yeah the thing with the store lights has always been weird to me. I was raised to be careful with money and saving in general. I was taught many tricks to save water, electricity, etc. But now we have a literal crysis about these things. My electricity bill has been doubled even though we (i live together with my boyfriend) statistically use as much power as only one person with a flat half the size ours would. And still all these signs and stores are lit up as if anyone cared. Its just horrible and pisses me off.

16:14 The way I see it, school is supposed to prepare you for your life as an adult. In that sense, teaching kids that they can't get answers from someone else as it would be cheating can low key be damaging, as adults themselves often encounter situations where they'd struggle if they don't get help anyways. But maybe from the beginning, the winners are those who can cheat the system without getting caught right away. Morality of the story : Life's not a game, there's no such thing as cheating as long as you can get away with it.
Great idea in theory with the last line, but in practice it would mean that concepts like adultery, taking credit for other people's work, embezzling money from the business, pretending to have a degree for a field where inexperience could cause catastrophic harm, taking shortcuts on a project that have a high risk of harm because the harm won't happen to you (think of all the half assed electrical work that people find when they renovate a home, that could have killed them at any time), faking the reports for how safe a product is (asbestos go brrrrrt,) etc. It may be more accurate to say that while cheating definitely exists as a concept, cheating *isn't always a truly bad thing,* as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

I'm a frequent pedestrian and have many run-ins with drivers who can't comprehend how crosswalks work. I will be very overt about how difficult they are making it for me to cross the street, even exaggerating my disability so they feel ashamed that they made a disabled person walk out into oncoming traffic because they decided to completely block the crosswalk. Sometimes they apologize profusely which means it worked and they might make better choices in the future. Other times they start yelling at me because I called them out for being lazy and stupid. I've already been hit once by a car who couldn't bother checking for pedestrians so I'm determined to stop as many others as I can.
I just remembered a story that my mom told me. Context: In my house, there is a book entirely about the history of *witchcraft* in it's entirety. My mom was reading *that exact book*, enjoying her day when a member of Jehovah's Witnesses went up and knocked on her door. She opened it and proceeded to casually show them the book, and they left. *We haven't been bothered since.* And another thing: We still have the book.
@@Green24152 I'm not sure if there are any copies available, Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a very old book. So old, in fact, that the pages on ours have yellowed. I also read it a bit myself recently: turns out it not only covers history, but how to BECOME a witch yourself, rituals, how to make your own tools and altar, how to join/make a coven, writing, etc. Literally *everything* you'd need/want to know about witchcraft. Very cool book, 10/10, would read again.
@@Otterfrosti I can start off by telling you the golden rule of witchcraft: "An' it harm none, do as thou wilt." Literally means "If it doesn't harm anyone, do it." I'd list what page it was mentioned on if I remembered it, but I can check once I get home. Edit: Found the page. Page 9, Lesson 1 (The History and Philosophy of Witchcraft) "The main tenet of Witchcraft, the Wiccan Rede, is: "An' it harm none, do what thou wilt." Do what you will...but don't do anything that will harm another. It's as simple as that."

Also. If they really want to make her dislike demons as in, ZE BIG DANGER style demons, introduce them to Warhammer 40 000 and give Nurgle as an example of why demons are scary. Nurgle followers can be nice and pretend to be wholesome. And use anyone as a biobomb. And in the world of Warhammer everyone is a villain in some sort of way, whether they knowingly do horrible things or unkowingly because consequences. Which is also an important lesson on socializing in society.
Real life is full of enough dangers that everyone should know. And methods of dealing with them like knowing how to use fire extinguisher.
But for some reason there is enough tiktok and TH-cam videos full of people not knowing. Show them that and then ask if they want to give their kid a red colored ball shaped plush toy with two yellow eyes as a reward for, dunno, maybe learning a few safety rules related to fire?
Why? Because demons - fire is a common trope and her doing effort and getting a fair prize that is kept for yearS may just hammer the safety manual deep enough that when (not if) she needs them, she will act with knowledge, not ignorance.

The guy telling people outside planned parenthood to go adopt kids is my hero. I literally wrote my college thesis on how broken the foster care system is and how nobody seems to care about it. I was in foster care myself for about a year and a half, the same year that funding got cut nationwide (bill to cut funding was signed in 2018, went into effect 2019-2020). The home I lived in was supposed to be visited by our Senator but he ghosted us, then that same Senator proceeded to campaign on banning abortion. All of this to say that “pro-life” people tend to not care about life, they only care about control (obviously not all of them, but a lot of them). It makes me genuinely happy to see other people going out there and telling them “if you care about saving kids so much, why don’t you help your local foster kids?” The hero we all deserve.

This is an interesting story where you make a good point, but I'm confused as to how you can have written your college thesis already when you were a minor in 2018 and maybe even 2019 or 2020. You got your college thesis over a year ago, and for someone who turned 18 in 2018 (if not later) getting a bachelor's degree in Dec 2022 (at the latest) is already pretty difficult. But then from my knowledge, a thesis is usually written for even higher degrees than that. So what degree did you write a thesis for and how did you do it so fast?
@@ArcanineEspeon As someone who graduated high school 2 years early and whose mom graduated high school 3 years early, this comment made me chuckle. While some states have a policy you can only skip one grade, many do not, and even in states with that policy in place, you can drop out in the 8th grade, get your GED as early as 14 and be admitted to college next semester. It's really not hard. Filing FAFSA is a bit of a pain when you're underage, but if anything, having foster parents means your guardians' tax returns are already in the system - it'd probably get your federal student aid processed faster, not slower. Between that and the fact that I know people who have done 4 year degrees in 3, either through taking 21 credits a semester or taking summer courses, I have to wonder how you think education works - are you under the impression that you have to be a certain age to do something or certain lengths are mandatory? Because we don't go off of a timing based system in the US, actually. We go by credit earned in college and 4 years of high school is not compulsory under US law. (And thank God for that, because high school was boring as shit.)
You're missing the point. Those idiots don't care about children at all. They only care about controlling women's sexuality.
I have brought up the " Are you gonna adopt any of those kids?" thing a bunch of times and it's actually like an instant checkmate. So far no one has ever continued the conversation after it. They only care about getting their way. They never care about the kids.
Truth
All about controlling women - there are a very few people who claim to help, but a lot of people still ignore and even reject the reality that pregnancy is risky and sometimes even very much wanted ones need to be ended for the mother’s safety. It’s not taken lightly and someone not wanting the responsibility of a child isn’t simple frivolity.
I know 8 families that have adopted children and one more that is in the middle of the long application process. Just wondering how you would continue the conversation if you happened across one of them one day and they answer "Yes."
@@snowangelnc it would be rare to find someone who could adopt 3000 kids or at least provide funds to ensure the mothers who were forced to carry to term will be provided Healthcare, safe homes and food for the next 18 months.
@@snowangelnc Then ask them "Are you also going to adopt all those of the women here that you don't want to let abort?" It's easy to demand of someone to make a decision that will impact their whole life like having a baby, when you are not the one bearing the consequences.
Also, I want to join that person handing out adoption papers to the people protesting abortion. Like, SERIOUSLY! None of you are willing to adopt, yet have the audacity to deny a person's agency over their own body when the child doesn't even exist yet? And make it so that you FORCE the child to exist, but want NOTHING to do with them after they are born? The hypocrisy is disgusting!
Yep, they're not actually pro-life, they're pro-forced birth.
yeah, american evangelicals are awful
I could rant for days about how broken the foster care system is. I would be out there with him too, showing them articles about the abuse foster kids suffer, telling them the stories I’ve heard. Because they’re not about saving the kids, they’re about controlling people, and it’s so obvious. If I ever saw one of these protests I’d have to whip out my college thesis I swear 😂😂
If I was one of the people walking around. First of all I wouldn’t be in that group. Second of all I was adopted at a young age so if they hand me adoption papers I would ask what the kid’s name is. I would then join them.

Giving adoption papers to the protestors at Planned Parenthood... That reminds me of the case of this one woman (lady 1) who talked a young lady (lady 2) out of an abortion. Lady1 then gets surprised when 6 months after lady2 gave birth had her baby taken away and she (lady1) was on the list to be the preferred person to take the baby.
Lady1 was posting things like "I can't take this baby! I'm too busy! It would ruin my marriage!" .... you know things that the lady 2 was saying was reasons why she first wanted an abortion for.
This is why it's stupid when people make similar arguments about refugees. "You won't invite migrants to live in your house but you expect me to live within the same city as them?"
Clearly one party is demanding much more than the other.
For themself thos excuses are valid, but for others....

A relative of mine once did the "good dognapper" bit. The "legit owner" was a hoarder, keeping several hundred dogs outside on three foot leashes for their whole lives with no medical care, not enough food, and no shelter... in the middle of Alaska.

There were three Dutch teenagers during WW2 who seduced Nazi soldiers in the Netherlands to later kill them or find out more information about where they kept Jewish people and homosexuals so the girls could hide the discriminated minorities from the Nazi's evil eye.

I've got something like that. My "best friend" was going to abandon her cat in one of the rich neighborhoods in town. I talked her into letting me look after it for a while. She visited the cat TWICE in eight months. She and I had a falling out because of her meth dealing boyfriend and I told her that she could get the cat if she wanted to. She opened my message, never responded, and blocked me. The cat (named Stu) is happy with me and I wouldn't trade that fuzz ball for anything in the world. Because of what happened, she has separation anxiety and needs a lot of attention. Most nights, I fall asleep while petting her and listening to her purr. Despite most people telling me she's worthless, I still love her and have even gone without food so I could afford food and water for her. Not only is she happier, but her eating problem has worked itself out. She used to eat a few bites of food and go take a nap. I think she was unhappy with her old situation. She's a healthy 13 LBS (proper weight for her size) and makes me happy to know that she's safe and happy.
Update: She's now a healthy 16 LBS and still a goofball who gets all the love she wants.
So wholesome 🥹

I've worked a chain pet store where management was lazy & pretty shitty, pay was horrible & the policies were atrocious. The amount of perfectly good food/treats/toys we were supposed to just toss was disgusting, but at least the manager in charge of that department always asked if anyone needed anything & typically let me just drop it off at local rescues anonymously. Once, it was probably $300 worth of chews that was just going to the trash because we weren't selling it anymore (not bad or recalled, just not selling) so I took all of it & dropped it off at a dog rescue. We would give out nearly expired cans to people feeding cat colonies instead of letting perfectly good food go to waste.

I did the same when I worked in a bakery, I wasnt going to let all that food go to waste, so I donated it to a breadline secretly. The boss was never there, so I didnt get caught.

In this case on that "dognapper", saying that they stole the dog is a big stretch. It was much more like a rescue

Is it technically illegal? Yes. Have I done it? Also yes. Some puppers urgently need liberated from deplorable conditions.
Yeah, where was the ASPCA in that story? Why did the cops not charge the original owner with animal cruelty (Which is at the very least a misdemeanor in most states)? That was a clear cut case of a rescue, not a theft.
I wonder if the person had been trying to "train" the dog to be a "guard dog" by making it hate people due to all the abuse I assume he was heaping onto the poor pup.
The guys using parkour to turn off neon lights to shops that are closed is the kind of activism we need.
Not pouring milk at the grocery stores, not gluing themselves to the floors at a car show, not throwing oil or paint on art pieces, not chaining themselves together on the highway. All those are destructive and are ultimately harming the movement.

22:40 - The dognapper. My wife has a similar story:
A few years ago, when my wife left the gym she would take a specific route back home that had a house with a cat. This cat was in a pretty bad shape, had bruises and scabies all over, but he loved following my wife around and was overall adorable. After the first few times walking by there and being greeted by the cat, she rang the doorbell and confirmed the cat was theirs (he wasn't allowed inside and he was pretty slim, and street cats are very common in Brazil), and if they would allow her to either let her adopt the cat, or if she could take him to the vet and cover all his treatment (they were welcome to join the process).
The owner asked her 13yo daughter, that just shook her head for both. They didn't want to treat the cat, but also didn't want to give it up. We felt bad about not being able to do anything, but well... it happens.
My mother in law knew about the cat and would always complain that my wife was too attached to it, until she took that route herself for the first time and saw the cat. She was so heartbroken to see his condition, that when she got home, she got a reusable eco bag and went back. She just put the cat inside it and he came all the way purring. If she left the cat there, I don't think he would've made it the next 2 months.
I feel bad about the family, but the cat is now named Theo, lives not far from his old prison and is very happy, healthy and purring with his 7 other brothers and sisters at my mother-in-law's home.
Ironically I have a similar story. One of my neighbors got a dog for their son, but they didn't know how to train her or anything, and not long after, started caging her outside. I'd of course started teaching the dog basic commands and she literally was way smarter than the lady gave her credit for. Ended up there was a pretty bad thunderstorm out one day and said dog was outside attached to the cage with a leash and dragging it around. Now, of course I know that lightning+metal=dead dog, so when the family had left for several hours to go to eat out, I decided I'd had enough. Went out there and brought the dog into my own house and called animal control. Even got the dog to learn sit, stay, and heel while she was inside and waiting. Animal control came and picked her up, and later the family came back and thought the dog had run away. I caught a post at the animal shelter she'd been taken to a while later talking about this wonderfully smart and well-behaved dog they had there and I was glad to see she'd gotten numerous applications from people who read the post and wanted her. Glad to know that Suki went to a good home and hope she has a wonderful life!
What a lovely story ☺

Used to work at a fast-food place and the manager was awful. Prep told her they needed to throw out some spoiled tomatoes. I saw these tomatoes. They were literally blue from mold (they had not been sealed correctly). Manager grabbed a glove, threw away the top few, then told her to use the rest as "they looked fine" to her. Not two minutes later, I came by with an armload of cups from the back and "accidentally" knocked the spoiled tomatoes onto the floor.

Your story about your friend getting "damaged goods" reminded me of a program that Woolworths started a few year ago (at least in Australia) where they package perfectly good but misshapen vegetables and sell them for a slightly lower price. I remember it took a while to catch on for many because people kept associating the strange shapes with bad food. Personally, I quite like my heart shaped potatoes.
Odd Bunch fruits and veggies, love those things because without that the farmers have to throw all that stuff away and the price difference is enough to make it worth buying. Nothing wrong with something that doesn't "look perfect", it still tastes the same and most of it is stuff that will get cut up and cooked anyway.
From what I understand, "unsellable" crops generally don't go COMPLETELY to waste. They're usually composted, so you can use them for growing more food. Whether that's better or worse than selling it all, I don't know.
"Hostile Pedestrianism" is how I might describe one of the stunts my great grandpa pulled as a young man in the 50s. (I have several stories of other silly and clever things he did.) He was at a stoplight, waiting to cross the road, when a car pulled up and stopped partly into the intersection. The car was obviously blocking the crosswalk, but since the signal to walk had been given, well, by golly my gg was going to walk!
The driver had stopped so far over the line that the back half of the car was sitting in the crosswalk, and the rear doors were just about flush with where he would have walked. So rather than go around, my great grandpa pulled open the rear door, got in, closed the door behind him, and scooted all the way across the back seat before opening the second door to get out and resume walking across the street. Apparently the lady driving was so startled that she couldn't even speak, though the look on her face was reportedly "priceless".
Ladies and gentlefolk, my ornery great grandfather!
I once had to cross the road to get to the bus, there was a crosswalk, but the cars keep coming full speed as if they could not see us. The elder next to me had enough, told us to follow her, and extanded her cane in front of her. The cars had no choice but to let us pass if they diden't want to scrap their car paint.
When I was in school I was part of an elderly care project (all students had to be in a social project, and we went to the middle of nowhere once every week to entertain them and check on their health, we did dancing, fun games, muscle pain relief exercises, calligraphy and many other things!) and one time at the end they were waiting to cross the street (that was more like a small highway actually) to get to the bus stop and the cars weren't stopping even though there was clearly about a dozen senior citizens waiting for them to do so, so we said fuck it and stood in the middle doing a human chain stopping traffic until all of them got to the other side, and making mocking faces (and sneaking a few middle fingers when our teacher wasn't looking) at the people that were impatiently honking at us, it felt great!!
My dad was a little of a chaotic good/neutral prankster at work.
In any company, there is always a board where advertisement for local stuff are pinned, as well as security phone numbers and emergency stuff.
Well, he made good use of that board by pinning jokes and memes, made with the professionalism of a graphic designer so it wouldn't look odd for anyone who'd just skim over the board.
His colleagues loved it.
When Covid-19 struck and the bathrooms had those educational posters to teach grown ass men how to wash their hands, he made the same kind of poster that taught how to take a poo.
To the emergency phone numbers list, he also added fake numabers for a various absurd needs, like an exorcist, a telekinesist, a witch, an emotional support puppeteer, and so on.
It sure never served any tangible 'good' cause, but it made him and his colleague's days. For them who drove hours in snow, hail, delivering goods for a meager pay, humour was a balm to the heart and a spirit lift when they all started their hard day.
If adults need instructions for how to wash, who's to say they understand how to correctly poo? Thanks for sharing the chaotic awesomeness!

21:00 yep. It's a law designed to "dissuade" homeless people from "loitering".
Which in truth means "make them suffer so they go away and we don't have to see them".
Sadly laws like that are common all over the US. Come from the same place as spikes on walls and bars on benches designed to prevent homeless people from resting on them.
It's really heartbreaking.
Homelessness is a very complex issue. There is no one silver bullet that will get rid of it. Many of the contributing factors, such as lack of affordable housing, lack of funding for mental health, lack of safe places for people addicted to illegal substances, etc are all social programs that are apparently political suicide to champion. So instead, politicians "make the problem go away" by criminalizing homelessness and using hostile architecture. Its a cruel irony that by criminalizing homelessness, they make it that much harder for people to escape it. Nothing helps get you into a home like crippling debt!
Edit: One other thing I forgot to mention is many cities also have programs to bus the homeless to other cities.
@@randomstuff-qu7sh There is the fairly obvious solution of just giving people homes, but a lot of people would rather leave homes vacant than let them be used by those that can't "afford" them. As you said about other good programs we need, suggesting it is apparently political suicide.
@@OmniLiquid Its an obvious solution, but hard to make it happen. In the US, helping average people instead of businesses seems almost taboo. PPP loans and loan forgiveness were no problem, but Student Debt Forgiveness gets blocked by the courts. That makes any government program to give homes to the homeless fairly unlikely without some significant changes. That said, another force that blocks affordable housing is the NIMBY effect. People know its needed, but don't want it anywhere near them because it may damage their property values and because they fear that bringing poor and/or homeless people into their neighborhoods will increase crime.
Yeah, its seriously mesed up. I remember one subway got rid of benches and put in "leaning bars" to "dissuade" homeless. On one hand its sad that most of the outrage they got was people upset at their inconvenience. On the other hand a bunch of disability advocates spoke out (a group that also doesnt get the best publicity or thought and definitely weren't considered when this was implemented) as well as senior/aging advocates (who have alot more influence especially in conservative political circles) helping to draw attention and awareness to what was happening.
The story where the government was held hostage until the road was fixed reminded me of the Japanese workers strikes during the rebuilding after ww2. They locked out the warehouse managers and continued producing so they wouldn't be blamed for disrupting rebuilding efforts. They hijacked the factories. Amazing stories in the worker's rights spectrum. Highly recommend that topic!
Japanese bus drivers on strike have done something similar in recent times where they keep to their schedules and routes but won't accept payment in the tills from passengers. Really great way to put the middle finger up to the bosses while not inconveniencing average people who need the transportation.

She's a paramedic and she was called to an OD and, after reviving the patient, tried to convince her to stop doing heroin, at least for her neglected dog's sake. The patient said that if my sister cared so much about the dog, why not just take it- and so my sister did. That's how she and her husband got Hazel, named after the street name for heroin.
@@loppydoodle726 dunno what the Addict expected there but I wish I could've seen their face when she did. XD
The dog my family had up until I was about 12 was a husky/st bernard mix that had belonged to someone down the street from them from before I was born. The people moved. The dog didn't. When animal control picked him up and they realized what had happened, they went straight down there and got him back out.
His name was Smokey and at 80lbs, he thought he was a lap dog. 🤣
My aunt lived next to an elderly person who neglected their chihuahua, but not horribly. Then they died. Their kids went to take care of things but didn’t go near the dog. Pat went over, unchained the dog, left chain in a neat “a human did this” spiral. Like 2, 3 days later someone came to inquire. Pat told them it was her dog now and closed the door. Yeah, if you get out of the hospital and the chain Pupper was on is spiraled a human has her. Be very obviously at home those winter days they might keep it
OMG that's so wholesome!!! My dog Andre is a Ridgeback mix and he was abandoned by his previous owner in a dog park.
I heard once about some girls in WWII who would lure Nazi soldiers with the promise of sex, and then kill them instead. The teens in Ukraine catfishing Russian soldiers reminds me of that, and I love it.
IRL Traptrix!

Yup.
There were even "freedom fighters" who took lessons in seduction and coloured their hair blonde, so that they could either lure the soldiers into a secluded area and kill them or hope to seduce some high ranking officer who'd then let some info slip during pillow talk or simply by saying when they could and couldn't meet up etc.
Seduction has been a tool of war for a very long time, it just evolves as our technology does, too. And that is awesome. The sexy assassin trope exists because it was actually a thing that was done.

It's a funny 'story' for sure :D
Referring to the hostile pedestrian post:
One time when I was still walking my sisters to and from school, we were in the middle of a crosswalk and a van pulled out and nearly hit my, at the time, 9 year old sister... If that woman had not kept driving I would have screamed at her. People stopped their cars and honked at her too but she just kept driving. She was too fast for me to get the licence plate, or else I would have called the cops
Because of that incident, I do a lot of the stuff that person does. Stare people dead in the eyes, race them to the cross. I've nearly been hit a few times, but it's worth it
I almost got hit by a car in a crosswalk at single digits, too. My mom had been walking me home from school, and yanked me back by either my shirt or bookbag just as I was about to step into the crosswalk, as a silver car raced out of the school zone. Genuinely raced out of it- we were just passed the sign and it was a 20 mph zone, and this guy was passed so quick I hardly had time to process what had happened
Only in the US… In Europe, they stop on a dime for you even if you only think about crossing
I once stopped for a pedestrian in Virginia and all of a sudden a car comes screaming around me on the right in a turn lane. I leaned on the horn because I thought he was about to run over the poor girl who was still in the crosswalk directly in front of him. He rolled down his window and cursed me out for “almost causing an accident,” before pulling in front of me from the right turn lane and zooming off at top speed. He had been about 3 cars behind me, I’m not sure how him driving too fast and too close to be able to stop safely was my fault. At the next stop light, I came up beside him and just kept repeating “There was a pedestrian” over and over while he screamed obscenities at me. I still am unsure if he ever realized the pedestrian was there.
@@heatherduke7703 as someone whose sister got run over by a car while crossing the street living in europe i dont know if i agree with the above statement. (shes fine tho!) cars give me anxiety and i stay at the crosswalk until they have mostly come to a full stop before i even attempt to cross. bad and greedy drivers live everywhere im afraid :(
I suppose it depends on the city in Europe. In Paris, I slow down purposefully whenever a car honks at me for crossing in front of them. In other parts of France, I smile, wave and thank the drivers who usually, inevitably, slow down and let me cross.
When I cycle and need to cross the road, I get off my bike and walk across the crosswalk. The best of both worlds :)

As far as using the Taking The Hobbits To Isengard to drown out Nazis is probably what Tolkien would have wanted. I mean, Tolkien *hated* Nazis, and using memes out of his work to drown them out honestly sounds like the kind of thing he would pull if he was alive today.
The Nazi Party wrote a letter to him once asking him if he was Jewish or Aryan. He then proceeded to say he wished he was Jewish, and did a deep-dive into how the actual origins of the Aryan race and the term Aryan were in India, meaning that he was not Aryan, a thing he lamented. Bro brought out archaeo-linguistics just to go, "No, I'm not Aryan. Are you?" out of sheer spite. A legend.
The crosswalk thing is a mood. When I was a tour guide I would walk out into the crosswalk (it had flashing lights to let drivers know that there were pedestrians actively crossing) when cars looked like they were going to fly through and yell "Hit me! Do you know how much I will get if you hit me in this crosswalk? Me neither, let's find out"

No but seriously, I went through a very severe depressive episode last year and was seriously ready to go quietly into that long dark night. I knew it was bad because I wasn't even hysterical or dramatic ian thinking about it, just totally calm and logical. But I had a few book ideas I'd been drafting forcafew years that I'd not given the time to sit down and actually write as I saw it as a bit of a self indulgent waste of time where I could be doing something more adulty and productive. Well, I'm still here, a couple of dozen thousand words into the prose, and have a couple of publishers potentially interested. All because I made a deal with myself that I had nothing to lose so why not take the time to see them stories I'd imagined be brought to life on paper before leaving the mortal coil.
The Wic story where the cashier allowed families to get more fruit made me cry. I was on Wic when my kids were little and I remember being so hungry and starving so they’d have food
Sharing the Wifi got me. It's such a tiny thing. Basically nothing to you, but you totally opened up their lives by giving them acess to SO MANY more opportunities. We'll have free wifi eventually. It's becoming almost essential to participate in the world. Until then, spare a second thought to that single mother down the hall or the man who just got laid off. Little things like that make all the difference in the world.
28:29 I volunteer at that PP! the woman in white is absolutely insane! She yells, screams and bangs on the windows. She has also gotten in peoples faces. This video is of a first Saturday for that month. Actually....I think I was there that day
I am disabled, a fall risk, and a service dog handler. As such, I cross the road slow-ish. I make a point to slow down/stop and *stare* at vehicles until they stop, fully, for the pedestrian in front of them. Far too many drivers continue to roll forward with people in the cross walk lol
I kinda feel bad for standing at a crosswalk and waiting til I'm sure car will stop. Cuz they always do
But I kinda do like living so I keep doing it anyways
I remember the University Mormon ones started avoiding me when I checked their biblical references. They did not expect to encounter someone who got an "A" in "Old and New Testament" back in high school.
The dog one reminds me of how we got one of our boxer dogs. A friend of mine found her wondering around the town she lived in looking super skinny and skittish. My friend was able to carry the dog miles home and for context my friend was barely 5’ tall and this was a year old+ (we never were 100% on her age) boxer dog.
Well fast forward a few months and my family has taken the dog in. My mom was at the post office talking about how we ended up with this dog and a guy overhears her. He asks where the dog was found, what she looks like, etc. When my mom describes our dog, the man says “I’m pretty sure that’s my brother’s dog.”
My mom got worried because we were already super attached to this sweet pupper and she was worried he was going to insist we give her back. Instead, the man looked right at her and said, “Don’t post anything about her. Keep her. It sounds like she had a good home with you and my brother never did take care of that dog.”
Apparently the guy would just tie her up in his back yard, regardless of how bad the weather was, and just leave her there. He didn’t feed her near often enough and judging from how hand shy she was when we first got her I’m fairly sure he hit her. I’m so glad his brother saw she was in a better home and didn’t tell him. We had her for many years until she finally passed of old age and gave her all the loves and cuddles she could ever need.
I have to shower and moisturizer before I watch any of these videos just so I feel like I deserve that he tells me I smell good - click keeping my mental health up and motivating me to shower in depressive episodes is something I didn't expected to happen when I started watching this guy read funny Reddit stuff.
During WWII, there was a ballerina at a camp who catfished several guards to allow other women to escape- she sadly was killed from what I remember, but she took down at least four of the soldiers with her.
She went into the afterlife with grace, poise, and laughter as the guards who joined her in death were sent screaming into hell.
Much like the crosswalk story a group of people at my university painted a "rogue" crosswalk near the Arts building. The other proper crosswalks were super far away and it could be dangerous sometimes.
Of course students I used the new crosswalk. It oooked pretty legit with the exception of the usual crosswalk figure wearing a beret and holding a paintbrush 🖌️. ☺️
The powers that be got rid of it, but students rallied. Now there is an official crosswalk a short while later. Yay!!
Pretty cool for what started as an art project!! Go artists!! 💕
I hope people add a beret and paintbrush to the figure
Then there is my university, according to legend when they first built the campus they did not put down sidewalks and waited to see what paths students took. Then built sidewalks were the grass got worn down. By observing the current sidewalks, I honestly think it was a bit of both pre building some sidewalks then adding new ones when students would take shortcuts through the grass.

At one point the king ask this bad guy how should he celebrate the best person in the city. The bad guy thinks it HIM so he creates the best possible celebration. But it was actually for the bad guys enemy and the bad guy had to become a sort of jester for the celebration.)

In Finland Soldiers of Odin started "neighborhood patrol". A bunch of activist put on clown costumes and started following them, asking "don't you wanna play with us, you are so nice, lets play something, isn't life jolly!".. The movement was called the Loldiers of Odin..
I had to look up what Soldiers of Odin was and that’s fucking incredible.
@@-alovelygaycat- Yeah, it was, and is quite stupid. I got a glimpse of how it was formed when an old acquaintance asked if i wanted to join... which was quite amazing question to ask if you knew who i am as a person.. This acquaintance was in a MC club and SOD hired them, career criminals to fill in the ranks. So much for "neighborhood patrol" that we were suppose to feel safe with. They are all criminals and neo-nazis, and some of them are just hired guns.
They are mostly defunct now, a lot of that is because of Loldiers of Odin who took the risk to ridicule them.. It is very difficult to look like you are bad ass when bunch of female clowns follow you around, and you can't exactly do anything about it either.
Oh my I totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, had a good laugh 😄

The chaotic working is a thing I do as a cashier, like our store doesn't take the "restaurant tickets" that we have in France but everytime I have elderly people or families I know struggle financially I "accidentally" push the 30% off button on my register for meat, cheese and stuff.
We only put the 30% off sticker on when it's close to experiation date but they aren't like actually registered in the computer if they have been put on and which products are concerned so no one from up above could ever say anything to me. This way I help out people but can make sure I don't loose my job ^^'
So yeah anyone working the register in ALDI if you wanna be chaotic good that is a good way of doing it :3

I live in Canada and my friend recently let me know about a good rescue program she works at. This program is led entirely by volunteers. It collects food that grocery stores can't use.

And if anyone asks, say you can't disclose what you're testing for due to 'concerns about causing a panic'.

Yeah the thing with the store lights has always been weird to me. I was raised to be careful with money and saving in general. I was taught many tricks to save water, electricity, etc.
But now we have a literal crysis about these things. My electricity bill has been doubled even though we (i live together with my boyfriend) statistically use as much power as only one person with a flat half the size ours would.
And still all these signs and stores are lit up as if anyone cared. Its just horrible and pisses me off. Everybody has to pay so much more, is told to save as much as possible and yet this is still allowed

@@waffles3629 sort of. It's a little weird. In some cities, pretty major ones for the region even, stores close at 8pm and only open at 9:30am. It always sucked.

16:14 The way I see it, school is supposed to prepare you for your life as an adult.
In that sense, teaching kids that they can't get answers from someone else as it would be cheating can low key be damaging, as adults themselves often encounter situations where they'd struggle if they don't get help anyways.
But maybe from the beginning, the winners are those who can cheat the system without getting caught right away.
Morality of the story : Life's not a game, there's no such thing as cheating as long as you can get away with it.
Great idea in theory with the last line, but in practice it would mean that concepts like adultery, taking credit for other people's work, embezzling money from the business, pretending to have a degree for a field where inexperience could cause catastrophic harm, taking shortcuts on a project that have a high risk of harm because the harm won't happen to you (think of all the half assed electrical work that people find when they renovate a home, that could have killed them at any time), faking the reports for how safe a product is (asbestos go brrrrrt,) etc.
It may be more accurate to say that while cheating definitely exists as a concept, cheating *isn't always a truly bad thing,* as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

I'm a frequent pedestrian and have many run-ins with drivers who can't comprehend how crosswalks work. I will be very overt about how difficult they are making it for me to cross the street, even exaggerating my disability so they feel ashamed that they made a disabled person walk out into oncoming traffic because they decided to completely block the crosswalk. Sometimes they apologize profusely which means it worked and they might make better choices in the future. Other times they start yelling at me because I called them out for being lazy and stupid. I've already been hit once by a car who couldn't bother checking for pedestrians so I'm determined to stop as many others as I can.

I've done the cashier thing a few times when I worked at Walmart. If they were counting their cash as I was ringing them up I'd skip an item if they had 3+, and always made sure the diaper and formula coupons would go through, even if they were expired.

Regarding agressive niceness. I started doing that many years ago, especially when interacting with male service personnel.

The number of smiles generated is definitly worth it.
