My dearest freax enthusiasts, if you too despise the overwhelming popularity of self help books then you must be the change you want to see in the world: read yuri
"It's a bad week for freax, man", Joseph, every week since Trump winning the election has been a bad week for Freax. This show is the only thing keeping me sane.
And it's worse because technically we've All agreed that 18 is considered a grown person (maybe only halfway there in America since drinking age is 21, but everywhere else pretty much you are given all the rights and duties of an adult) which probably means you can call yourself a grown man, but it's also so funny when someone says that in a context where the some aspect of being a child shines through or is on the forefront Mind you this can happen through all ages, it's just that we react differently to it, if the person Is too young we go "ahhh they're such boibe" when it's someone older we just hate their ass for being a manchild and when it comes from old people it becomes sad (it's still infuriating to see but the fact that they've spent 50-60 years being adults and they either kept up or regressed into behaving like a child adds that layer of sadness)
We have a local saying in my region in Germany "Wait, till I get the guy who poo'd in my pants" and it is all I can think of, when I read the leopards ate my face fell for it again stories. This rightious anger at the world who wronged them but without the hint of who has done it to them.
I imagine the anti aging rich guy awake on the operating table having a laugh with his insane doctor while they remove all his blood like in the team fortress "meet the medic" short
The fact that we've been watching a fascist coup of the US government and the best we can muster is roasting their shitty memes on Twitter is proof we live in the worst timeline
Ringostar367 has it right on the money for the “self-help” book section. If Books Could Kill is an incredible podcast by Micheal Hobbes, a journalist who worked in human rights groups for 11 years, and Peter Shamshiri, a lawyer, that break down these types of books by reviewing the book’s sources and what the book is trying to get across. Also check out Maintenance Phase, a similar podcast also done by Micheal Hobbes and Aubrey Gordon, author of various essays on discrimination against fat people, that break down the shoddy backing of diets, weight loss medications, and other related fads. All in all, great pieces of liberal media that actually do the research so that you don’t have to.
I recently looked up Die Workwear on TH-cam and you cannot understand my immense disappointment that he just sounds like a guy and not like an unknowable Eldritch being. Also: Is Die Workwear on Bluesky? YES, HE IS. UNDER THE SAME NAME. He is mostly serious there, talking about menswear and how sad he is that there is nobody on Bluesky to absolutely fucking aether.
People think he is trying to match trump, because there's now way you have more than 50% of population being poor and then coming out with the argument "LGBT are pedophiles, also I'm going to take off non binary people's id" BE FUCKING FOR REAL, even people from right are saying "omg I don't fucking care please do something about the poverty in children"
9:30 It's not actually that hard to do. For those that don't know, bust symbol (aka AA to ... Z, apparently, at least in the US) is actually the difference of Bust Size minus Band Size(aka torso diameter), and then the difference gives you the letter grade. I assume the poster scales the base values going off published character heights > limb and torso ratios > Bust and Band sizes. This is really dumb. Artists primarily care about height and feature ratios relates to shot aesthetic, not proportioning accuracy, so those assumptions aren't actually going to be consistent between different drawings. As an aside the bust measuring scale is a terrible system. It only works if you assume all female torsos have near identical bone structure, making the definitions and expectations non-transferable between significant differences in Band size. It would be more consistent across different heights and builds if grade was instead a ratio of Band/Bust, as that would actually give women and manufacturers useful information for Bra parameters and standardization. No wonder women hate shopping for bras.
She was recording it because apparently its a gimmick "Bikini coffee shop" ala hooters so I guess it isnt the first time something like that happened EDIT: OF COURSE MILEI GONNA BE HERE. As an argentinian im so mad
Just as a note to 6:27, I know this is a common misconception and people don't know otherwise, but it's more inclusive to say Lunar New Year! If I have to compare, saying Lunar New Year is like saying Happy Holiday over saying Merry Christmas. But I completely understand if you guys' headspace is currently too occupied with the new President and stuff.
@@nitro5247 yes. I mean he was technically correct (since these are Chinese people), but Lunar New Year is a more inclusive and correct term. The phrase for the Holiday in Chinese is just "New Year" anyway, the distinction is made for the Gregorian Calendar.
23:52 I've never seen the stupid red dot eye on the guy in Bottomless Trap Hole until this moment. I've always thought this was Hitosume Giant and the nose was his cyclops eyeball... My world is ruined.
Right Wingers are freaking out that they've been tricked for yet another terrible four years, as Trump fails to follow through with any promise he made, objectively makes things worse for people, and the Nazis are just back. No build up or anything.
There should be a law that says if the leading officials tell x amount of lies they have to sit on the bleachers while Americans lecture them on what is going on from their perspective for 12 hours.
Not joking, my shifts are 12 hours and I do 4 rounds at my job that each take an hour. Unless I'm cleaning or something goes wrong the other 8 hours is just chilling and it can get really mind numbing. Freaxs is fantastic content for getting through this and I cycle through the episodes pretty regularly.
@@joseph011296nice to hear you have something to improve the shift 👍who knows you could be training your yap skills as well rofl (i certainly did with freax and wotc)
The Elon wok meme is brutal because I hold such a big L regarding it The meme 'such X, much Y' was my senior quote in THE YEAR 2014 because it was fresh when I submitted it By the time the yearbook was out normies had gotten to it and it was dead and cringe, yet here we are 11 years later with another normie necroing that shit
The funny thing about self-help books is that 70% are left-leaning and with a female target demographic, 25% are right-leaning "get your **** together young man" stuff with a male demographic, and the last 5% are actually esoteric stuff. Edit: And oh yeah the tech bro 'guide to success' books, I didn't think of self-help but I guess they kind of are.
I mean I think the series is at its best when he covers memes or YuGiOh drama. If he's going to end up going really hard at politics and the infinite Trump / Elon nonsense so be it. But I'd rather he do more positive political action like the time he played YuGiOh with Maxwell Frost etc. We are gonna hear about this stuff if we like it or not lol.
Canada is in the same situation (27:58 why don't we execute existing deal) A few months ago there was a billion dollar border bill that was cracking down on the fent moving through the boarder. (Also less than 1% of fent comes into the US from Canada)
Holy shit guys, Elon Musk is EXACTLY Brian Stepanek in transformers. Sector 7, you've never heard of it, it doesn't exist, I'm here to take your shit cuz the Gov tells me i can"
All the sane people are hoping he last vestiges of our crumbling system can pull together enough to finally fucking do something, and with bleak hearts knowing its unlikely, and so are also very aware that the orchestration of such resistance is probably too dangerous to do obviously online, I imagine. There's also a lot of intent, I think, to resist in smaller ways because of the strata of personal responsibilities. I'm reminded of a quote from a rebel in the ghettos in Germany, which I can't find now, that speaks about her shock at all the different forms of resistance. From the mother that skipped a meal to feed her child, to those that snuck out as spies, to those that merely helped their neighbor. Sadly, the same self-sacrifice and community that contributes to that form of unified resistance will need to be built before a resistance can become popular. Maybe I'm just too pessimistic to believe it widely exists atm.
Unfortunately, 30 million votes didn't spontaneously turn up in the middle of the night this time. So rather than a very rapid process of problem solving, we have to go through a slightly slower more bureaucratic one... although all things considered it's still pretty good pace for only 2 weeks.
like Hasan or not, Ethan's video is so fucking stupid and the fact so many drama channels are taking it as this big overarching "Ethan just EXPOSED Hasan" move as if it's not... shit they've been saying about him for ages now. God I love youtube drama it's so good it's so good.
It sounds to me like you haven’t watched the video. I followed this back and forth for a bit and the video brought me new info. The video is also largely about anti-semitism in twitch.
10:30 Oh fuck I see I book I have and am planning to read on that shelf. Its supposed to be a book about creativity or something. I thought it was something that was supposed help teach out to practice creativity, or how to get reference for creative for artistic projects and stuff. Please tell me a didn't by another wanna be CEO, tech bro bait book ;_;
Its called "The Creative Act A Way of Being" I just wanted to get better at concept art and building an aesthetic. I'm hoping its a light read, inspiring feel good book, with a couple of ideas of where and how to draw inspiration. I don't want to be a narcissistic asshole!!! D:
Not just tariffs, they've effectively shut down any imports via USPS. All the subs on reddit about hobbies/whatever that involve merch are freaking out since they can't get their plushie fix.
Man, the bit at around 36:00... nah man that ain't it chief. Mocking and making fun of folks forced to reconcile that their upbringing and simpler times did not prepare them for reality, then being thrust into a world that expects everything, and the maximum of them, the moment it arbitrarily decides they've "become an adult", it just not it man. Its literally the "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" and "just be a man" mentality that people like MBT berate others for, but spun as if its a good thing now, and trying to play it off with "nah its silly and quirky to make fun of young adults" is just not cool.
If i had to guess its probably because most people are incapable of holding themselves accountable enough to follow through with self help books Not saying they’re bad, just that the majority of people won’t or can’t commit to bettering themselves long term
Because most people who read self help books (at least in the US) use them INSTEAD of therapy. Doing both isn't worse than just getting therapy, but if you feel the need to pick one, picking the book is simply incorrect.
Because they're exploitative, and specifically go out of their way to be as unhelpful or actively counterproductive as possible. Because that's how you make money by selling a product claiming to help people. By not helping, because then they wouldn't need your help. If you teach a man to fish, he no longer needs to buy your fish.
My dearest freax enthusiasts, if you too despise the overwhelming popularity of self help books then you must be the change you want to see in the world: read yuri
Write your own, get your friends involved. It will do you all the good in the world.
yuri has only made me worse, but in the ways that make me better. satisfaction guranteed!
i read both :3
TRUE!
REAL AND TRUE!!!
I don't think anyone wanted to be an MBT viewer, we just wanted to be loved.
"It's a bad week for freax, man", Joseph, every week since Trump winning the election has been a bad week for Freax. This show is the only thing keeping me sane.

"Grown 19 year old man" hit me twice. First it's funny and then I realise it's funny cus I'm about to be 30.
And it's worse because technically we've All agreed that 18 is considered a grown person (maybe only halfway there in America since drinking age is 21, but everywhere else pretty much you are given all the rights and duties of an adult) which probably means you can call yourself a grown man, but it's also so funny when someone says that in a context where the some aspect of being a child shines through or is on the forefront
Mind you this can happen through all ages, it's just that we react differently to it, if the person Is too young we go "ahhh they're such boibe" when it's someone older we just hate their ass for being a manchild and when it comes from old people it becomes sad (it's still infuriating to see but the fact that they've spent 50-60 years being adults and they either kept up or regressed into behaving like a child adds that layer of sadness)
i was a grown man since my barmitzvah 😤😤😤
We have a local saying in my region in Germany "Wait, till I get the guy who poo'd in my pants" and it is all I can think of, when I read the leopards ate my face fell for it again stories. This rightious anger at the world who wronged them but without the hint of who has done it to them.

He says it's a bad week for Freax like it has ever been a good week and that watching this doesn't make me want to jump

Ah crap my batteries
There should be a law that says if the leading officials tell x amount of lies they have to sit on the bleachers while Americans lecture them on what is going on from their perspective for 12 hours.
I was going to say "they have to have a judge follow them around 24/7 and everything they say is under oath" but that's also a good one.
Better idea: law that prohibits anyone with lead poisoning from voting
Mr Don't Die looks like the uncanny valley

If i had to guess its probably because most people are incapable of holding themselves accountable enough to follow through with self help books
Not saying they’re bad, just that the majority of people won’t or can’t commit to bettering themselves long term
Because it's mostly nonsense drivel that ends up putting stupid and harmful ideas into the world.
Theyre mostly empty platitudes but thats overstated tbh
Because most people who read self help books (at least in the US) use them INSTEAD of therapy. Doing both isn't worse than just getting therapy, but if you feel the need to pick one, picking the book is simply incorrect.
