      @@JimmyJoeBob you just described a boss i had... who couldnt figure out why all her employees were jerks. LOL..
      i mean every employee she worked with would just start treating her 1:1 how she treated everybody she viewed as below her... we all knew something she we learned later she did not... we were more valuable to the company then she was... her MBA ment fuck all, her uncle gave her a job... she didnt earn it properly... and was not suited to it...
      imagine a party girl karen whos ego is out of control, and not in any way justified by any skills she actually has... double it... you are almost there, just do that a few more times... :P
      what was funny,she fucking hated me.. when she one day bought up at meeting with clients, how she wanted to take over a project myself and tabby were running, because i was hard to work with, rude, didnt listen, on and on... just a tirade rant against me and tabby... she couldnt figure out why i had this fucking joker grin on my face... the client is somebody whos known me a very long time and knows im quite easy to work with and the only way you endup with issues is trying to micro manage me.. dont show methe respect i show others..etc.. or disrespect people i respect.. or shit who simply dont deserve it..
      well, he asked her some questions, then informed her, that, he got why we warned him about her personality, and not to blow up at her, she know not what she speaks of... he had not known tabby long but.. he let her know he knew me most of my life, and as a kid, didnt like me much, till he realized it was because i was like he was as a kid.. always asking questions and curious to a fault.. he came to the company because i told him, i thought we could do the job, it wasnt our forte per-say but it was in the wheel house, just needed to get tooling done for the job they wanted done... that in the end shifted to much more robust metal castings rather then plastic injection molds, as the metal versions afte testing could be sold with professional weight/stress ratings...
      anyway.... he was blunt...but even better, after he went to get himself a drink, his daughter just started talking and the room went silent.. she pointed out she grew up with me, and to get me to act how she described... she must have really fucked up... because... "hes the nicest asshole your likely to meet in a livetime" (shes said that about time since highschool...initially to roast me a bit...when i smiled and gave her a genuine "aww thanks, you really do know and love me"... well everybody there laughed... even i agreed it was true... i dont suffer fools and idiots well honestly. less so as a broken down old man...

    Funny thing about this is that in a strange way, the red blood thing actually makes some sense.
    On a world so death ridden as ours, creatures have to evolve to be the best they can be to survive- thus, iron based blood, or red blood, the most efficient type of blood. Red blood does not cause a violent world, it's a common result of it.

    • @donanthebarbarian5177
      @donanthebarbarian5177 3 ปีที่แล้ว +200

      Exactly. Anything less than optimal efficiency will be weeded out on a world that's harsh enough, on a tame world efficiency will not rise much above the minimum requirement.

    • @RoxyTheReaper
      @RoxyTheReaper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +117

      The garden of eden is also a harsh world if it’s lush enough. When the living conditions are optimal it can create a large variety of species like what happened on earth which will drive the need for the evolutions to be more Efficient or productive will the defects will die out. You see what makes a forest a forest is not the trees but rather the variety of life that lives there because when there are hundreds of different species living in an area it virtually creates herd immunity and protects all the species though that while a single species forest will die off from a series of epidemics.
      This is also why I dislike the nazi’s idea of there being a superior race, the genetic diversity makes us and our planet stronger so why reduce it.

      During the second world war, numerous attempts were made by allied forces to fly over or land in Swiss territory.
      Now, i'm Dutch, and we were "neutral", in that we laid on our back to anyone who came looking, which caused capitulation in literal days when Germany came knocking.
      Switzerland however, was NEUTRAL. Enter their land with any military intent, no matter which way it was directed at nor came from, it got NEUTRALIZED.
      So allied forces flew over Switzerland to get into occupied/hostile territory more than once.
      And they suddenly found out that neutral means that everyone is treated equal; You get shot out of the sky, regardless of country of origin.
      I recall Americans landing in Switzerland thinking they were a neutral ally, only to be surprised with a hard bed in a jail cell.
      Neutrality isn't sitting and waiting for someone to come over, hoping that no one will.
      Neutrality is making sure that no one WANTS to come over, and when they do, you're capable of _carefully and succinctly_ explaining to them why you can't participate. :)
      Neutrality is lonely, hard, and will require you to make choices you might not want to make.
      To this day, some people think that Switzerland just sat there, waiting it out.
      But they were the epitome of red-blooded humanity; Shake hands with one hand, while sharpening the blade with the other.
      They are a testament to true independence from influence.

(fuck organized religions/cults/etc.. including wokeness) , we are still friends, and, i found out later part of why he wanted us to date was so she wouldnt be around the cousin the family sent over who was.. not integrating well.. and never planned to.. once they had proof he was involved with the kind of people who blow up shit at parks during events... they turned him in, and helped the govt track down his group of friends... he knew 1. i would protect her from him, and he had issues with her not wearing a burka, not a hajab but full on burka like his mom and sisters did back home.. on and on... just... hell she rarely wore a head scarf... as at her work, its a danger, and inconvenience of epic scope.. 2. he knew the guy had some fear of me, being around 3x his mass, and unwilling to put up with his behavior... and 3. knew she liked me, and he and his wife liked me since he befriended me at work when we were both having a rough as shit time with a horrible manager... not our manager but one who thought she was everybodies boss.. and kept setting our projects back by days to weeks at a time... once... if not for one of the girls having a vision of this shit coming, had not made copies and kept the originals for everything in her locked cabinet.. would have cost the company a govt contract, she dumped 6 caraffs of coffee across the whole work area because we wouldnt drop our work and do he bidding..
      despite all that it wasnt till she assaulted an enderly employee, got investigated, monitored and caught for 1. having people work extra hours producing product that was off the books and records deleted from the system, 2. selling the off the books production via her sons ebay store. 3. stealing and selling food/snacks/etc from the company for her sister in law to sell at the coffee shop they started with this idea it would be huge profits...despite them knowing fuck all about business, or making coffee even... LOL..
      anyway after that, well she was removed in cuffs even tried to sue the company and a stack of us employees she knew had to be against her.. company lawyers rekt her in court so hard her lawyer dropped her in front of the judge...
      thank god for a/v security systems and the owners love of tech.. it was a pain to install those every time i was involved in the process but.. it also always paid off within the first year.... in this case.... the kid had sold over 180k worth of stolen goods from the company, and, this blew my mind more, since i knew the value of the parts... the investigators came back with 12-15k she had stolen in food and supplies used for the coffee shop....oh and the owner listening to us and installing a cam on the back loading dock, caught the SIL who tried to say she didnt know where the stuff came from, picking up the large cart full of stuff at the back door and even them talking about the free profits and how it was great she was in charge of the vending machines and boxes of snacks around the whole building... i was just... fishmouthing watching it when the security intern showed us the clip, she was like "that was my reaction the first 5 times..."
      oh, the burka dude went to prison, when he gets out hes being deported back to Pakistan where the fact it came out hes gay... is not going to lead to a long happy life...
      the daughters actually married to a jewish fellow who was part of my extended friend group... honestly.. only his mother had issues with it... her parents found it amusing... his dad same... mom... wouldnt accept anybody but a jewish girl she picked for him.. that worked out so well for his 2 brothers.. who were cheated on and found out.. they had zero kids but where stuck paying to support kids their wife had with other men..... in one case the dude heard via fb grapevine and somebody asked if that was the milf he had been hitting at the gym... he contacted the husband and... turned out she had been taking her ring off and claiming her husband had died recently.. and, the daughter has a birth mark that runs in his family.. very obvious... its his kid... the dude managed to get shared custody with their legal dad.... and the 2 got her rights terminated.. but shes gotta pay support...the fact they had proof she said she never wanted kids, but she wanted custody for the support and so he wouldnt ever see them again.. the look on her face when her sister showed video of her saying that shit... in 4k60fps... yeah... court went poorly for her... the other one... her own family helped ensure she didnt get custody as well.. when mom found out she was cheating the golden childs mother went full "fuck cheaters" mode and.... not only proved it but read some shit that made her petition the court to give the kids and ex a protection order, and showed them to the judge... she had stored a backup of her daughters whole fb acct and used a tool to open it so the judge could just read her messages to several people who later came in and confirmed with the court it was all real, but that they didnt take her seriously... just thought it was the rantings of a jilted woman...
      anyway... MIL got over it eventually... and realized he had found himself a very good wife, whos can actually cook... she at least knows her cooking, outside baking and candies... is fucking horrific.... the harder she tries the worse the results....

    Our blood is red because it uses iron to hold oxygen as it is transported throughout the body. Iron is a very common element, and it oxidizes quite easily, which is why the vast majority of animals use it in their blood.

    The Spaceship was cloaked just outside the so called planet "Earth", home of the intelligent apes. The Captain Cu'rrell looked at the monitor with a tired look on its face.
    "Sir, a new wave of nanites have been deployed"
    "Tell me this is the last wave we need to complete the plan"
    The Cu'rrell twitched his fluffy tail and began to move nervously.
    "That... We thought that the amount was correct this time but..."
    "But?"Asked the Captain, with his whiskers pointing downwards, just like his feelings
    "It seems that the Earth Apes keep mass producing them, even with the Pandemic we unleashed upon them"
    "DAMN IT TO THE VOID" Shouted angrily the Captain. He put his tiny hand inside his jacket and took out a big, juicy and well polished seed. He glared at it for a moment and began to nibble on it anxiously while cursing.
    "Sir... your Calories levels are..."
    "I nyow that my caliries levels ar high right nyow!!!" He shouted with a high pitched voice. "But we have been filliwing our giverment plan for almost a cintury!"
    A couple of Cu'rrels in the room coughed a little, trying to hide the snickers, when they heard their captain's accent flare up.
    "Just stay calm sir. Remember that, even if its a slow plan, it should bear fruits soon. All to avoid war with the Earth Apes and their dog minions." Began to say the second on command of the ship.
    "We are all here to save our bretheren. We cant leave them in a place like this. We are all volunteers to save them since they crashed on Earth" Said suddenly a Cu'rrel looking at a computer.
    "And who asked you?" Said the Cu'rrel on his right
    "Yeah! Who asked you?" Said the Cu'rrel to his left
    "Your mom and sister! Last night, at my room!"
    "NYOW YEW HAVE DONIT!" The two Cu'rrels shouted, launching at the vulgar Cu'rrel
    "I know, but it's nerve wrecking, just here...waiting. When their show South Park said our plan almost to perfection two decades ago... I thought we were compromised" Said the captain, ignoring the fight
    "Well, we are nothing like those Gnomes, and we are not stealing underpants" Said the second on command.
    "Well, yes, but I feel like the high command doesn't know what to do after step 2 and they jump straight into step 4 were we save them".
    "Do you want me to contact the Central to ask the plan again?" Said suddenly an artificial voice
    "Please do"
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Secret Underground facility of the NASA:
    "Sir! Sir! They began to do it again!" Shouted happily John
    "Nice! We just bought snacks! Let me get them. Meanwhile, turn on the subtitles" Said Chief Mark
    A group of scientists sat down on a big couch and began to watch a live feed on a screen. There, they saw the Aliens that were "spying" on them on a Ship inside a giant artificial tree. After they found them, it was REALLY easy to infiltrate their systems and have a live feed of whatever they were doing.
    The aliens, they named "Angry squirrels" or "Agro Squerrils" since they were literally squirrels that fought all the time between themselves began to fight again, after some unsavory verbal attacks, all while the scientists were laughing their rears off.
    "Just one more thing" Said Mark between laughs "Has anyone found the reason why they keep stealing only one of our socks?"
    "No idea, hell it seems like even they don´t know why they are doing it. But I will be damned if we let the public know that their socks are being stolen by Nanites from angry space squirrels" Answered John
    "Yea, not only they woudnt believe us, but we would also lose our source of entertainment" Said Mark with a smile
    "Amen to that sir, Amen to that"

      Yeah kinda tired of the trope of "This species government did something horrible to us, so we murdered the entire species" really annoys me. I mean genocide does happen however we have been know to also show mercy to the subjects of our worst enemies. I personally would like one story where it looks like we're about to drop terrible genocidal bombs of mass destruction and then "We never would" just popping out instead to truly show the power we have and the restraint as well.

      @@chrisdufresne9359 I know that one. LOVE it! It was about how when the xeno filth LOVED shooting our medevac craft and other war crimes, we said, "ya know what? FUCK IT!" Went ALL out on them (more than they did to us, because to hell with the xeno scum), then when they were at the brink, we basically stopped, threw a book at them (concealed in said fake bomb) and said, "Read this, and find out why we were so soft in the beginning, and then suddenly not".

    I thought this would be interesting, but I was disappointed. All hfy stories are now “humans are better at war”, how we’re so much more aggressive and powerful. I really miss when it used to be wholesome stories about how bad we are at naming things, the baffling concepts of hot sauce, and how we have really weird animals like a fish with a sword on its face.

      Yeah, now-a-days these stories sound more like a "human supremacy" power fantasy.
      Don't get me wrong, believing in our own species is a good thing, but the problem comes when your belief and pride blinds you.
      In this story, the counter invasion against the GC nations responsible for the initial invasion was to be expected. A point had to be made there. And I can be okay with the Human Federation giving the cold shoulder to the GC, since they didn't try so hard as they could have to help Humanity. But steam-rolling through planets, killing almost all the aliens, taking all the resources, and doing little to preserve the cultures of the aliens worlds is going a couple steps too far.
      Politically and morally, you don't nearly wipe out entire planets worth of species. You don't prove you aren't monsters by turning around and being one. Repay the pain done to you by the people who did it, *at most*, you do more than that and you become the bad guy, not them.
      The humans in the start of this story were fine, but the humans at the end sound too eager to have the galaxy under its boot.

      Also. The purpose of "Humans are space orcs" are to fulfill the Sci-Fi Fantasy of humans being the dominant species of the galaxy, instead of the aliens. You may say there already a lot of them. Well you are wrong. There are much - much more Aliens dominating the Galaxy. Hell, even Warhammer 40K's Humans aren't the dominate species, by technicality, it was either Orkz(ORCS, Humans are Space ORCS) or Tyranids. You think thr T'aus rule over the galaxy? Get fucked homeboy.
