"The western world sips from a poisonous cocktail: Polarisation, populism, protectionism and post-truth"

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
Goatmon you said you stopped that video before too long, which is completrly fine, but it you don't already know it's not that he just has dumb opinions.
It's that he is an argument from authority, people are actively going to him for advice and he's spouting off these incredibly ignorant opinions as fact or at least as a valid point of view, and I'm afraid that crosses a line.
Ahh. Fair enough.
I don't think his opinions are that bad (Then again, I rarely get angry at people as easily as most others), but I can understand people taking offense at the things he says further into the video. I just don't think that most of it is worth getting up in arms over.
Although I don't think he is "Reinforcing rape culture" by making an observation that, for a lot of guys - albeit, not 99.9% - is observably true. It's kind of sexist, but that's not the same as supporting rape in any form.
Also, his comments on why some guys go for dumb women is also very true. I mean, if a dude is only really interested in getting fucked and has zero interest in other layers of a relationship, highly intelligent women are not going to be his aim. I wish the clip were a bit longer, though, as I'm honestly not sure if he was just explaining how a lot of men are, or if he's handing out advice towards dudes, there. I'm pretty sure it's the former, but without seeing more of that particular TV spot, I'm not certain.
Goatmon on

One of my favourite Zappa songs. Man was a goddamn musical genius.
As a dude that has the dubious pleasure of listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show every fucking day at work, might I also add that his morning show is a blight of fake laughter. It's also racist like whoa.

Eh. Her vids have been posted before. She's doing two things at once better than I could do either by itself. She might not be world class, but she doesn't have to be to make a video, and I think she's far from awful.
Can kinda see the pixie girl argument but ehhhhhhhhh.

on one hand, I can see how someone would say she's playing to it
on the other hand, it's not her fault she's attractive, she's not wearing an overly sexualized costume, and she seems to be having fun

You can debate the merits of "Gyro" vs "Shawarma" (which both mean "turn/turning" in different languages), but every Gyro is a Kebab, but not every Kebab is a Gyro.
Kebab simply means "grilled meat" in turkish, and it's applied to a much wider range of dishes.

True Im mostly just stretching this out because I've created now three discussions on the matter. Plus here when you go out and buy a gyro, it's just known as a kebab.

Admittedly your Skyrim getup is pretty spiffy, but your fancy moves are not impressing anyone old enough to drive.
She's going after the "nerds who only like pixie dream girlS a la Zooey Deschanel" demographic.

Right at the start of the video:
Everything you hear in this video was created by one voice, one violin. 120 tracks.
So I'm watching, and it's not particularly interesting to me, much like all the other videos I've seen of her. Then the drum track starts playing.
How'd you do that, Lindsay? Is your violin also a synthesizer? Does that Peter guy have a Roland TR-909 installed in his neck? Hmm?
