"I would HIGHLY recommend going to Omega Mart...",
"If you go, there is a little mini game you can play with your shopper card.",
"Pro tip for those who want to go.\nGo as early in the day as you can. It gets crowded and lines can form.\nDo the mini game if you have time.\nRead all the boxes entirely, lots of little jokes can be hidden.\nBuy stuff if you want when you leave, don't walk around with your stuff.\n\nMost stuff they sell are gag gift type products. \nSome items I liked were the banana flask and the nut free salted peanuts.",

"Went last month and it was a total blast! Def go as early as you can to spend as much time there as possible. I regret not choosing the \"immersive experience\" because I missed out on intricacies of the back story but it was totally worth it nonetheless. The venue its located in (Area 15) is also cool.",
"It's over priced",
"What's Omega Mart?",
"I don't recommend it, you also have to do it in order, and if you stand in line for something out of order, you just wasted time standing in line, it won't unlock. \n\nI also advise taking picture of big sign installations so you can read them later. \n\nIt's too overwhelming to try to absorb everything, I say just kick back and enjoy.\n\nAlso, you don't want to be on drugs even though you think that will enhance it. It's plenty drugs alone."

"Great Ramsay",
"hot sauce for kids. might just be a good gateway drug for adults who cant handle it too",
"The real episodes starts 22 minutes in",
"lol feel bad for whoever provides the wings for Hot Ones - just beat up by Gordon",
"Bert is so fat.",
"Kind of an honor to get insulted by Gordon tbh",
"I was hoping for an actual Hot Ones episode but that was just bad. The gimmicks weren’t funny and Gordon didn’t even eat most of the sauces, fucks sake he rinsed one off!",
"I wanted to see the handcrafted pots and pans Sean got at the end!",
"I'm pretty sure no guest will ever top Gordon Ramsay, he is just too perfect for the show",
"very creative with his elegant use of words",
"And fucks dogs",
"I was 10/10 excited for this and it was a disappointment. He didn’t even put any of da bomb on and he rinsed the last dab off. \n\nAnd with the fire extinguisher/pepto blaster he brought it just felt like he was trying to manufacture viral gifs rather than actually being an interview guest. \n\nOh well. At least we have the first episode of him being on there still.",
"I don't think it's anyone in particular. I think they move the set around to accommodate the guests and just go pick up whatever is around and meets the dietary requirements of the guest (for people who ask for vegan options). And they do it way too far ahead of time probably, because show production is difficult. They sit around, they re-heat them probably, toss them, put 'em on the board. Just probably never a convenient way to make them good. They'd probably need a mobile kitchen to do it right. I bet they just go to a nearby grocery store and get plain fried wings from the deli department.",
"Did any of that last dab even hit that wing",
"Missed a trick not calling the sauce Greenhorn.",

"Surely you mean the very common name, Bort.",
"The absolute disrespect for the last \"elegant\" wing lmao. Great episode.",
"I felt the same initially, but then I remembered this is just a special episode to raise money for charity. I’m now just happy he showed up and was able to make these virtual moments to support a good cause. If this was a normal episode and he came back for real redemption, I’d be a bit more upset about how he handled the wings.",
"He didn’t need redemption for how he handled the wings. The first episode was great. \n\nThis being a charity episode has no bearing on my entertainment value. I think it’s odd to settle for a lower standard of entertainment just because the money is going to a good cause. You can have both.",
"very entertaining episode but weak effort spice-wise.\n\nfake ass baby dab of Da Bomb, and straight up spits out the last wing.",

No holding back here either, it can definitely get annoying. I can only imagine, watching something like the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares, it's still over dramatic but it felt like something producers pushed when moving to USA shows.",

"It takes more than 10 minutes to fry chicken wings that Gordon Ramsay would approve of.\n\nYou need to double-fry at the very least. Brine and par-boil before frying if you want them to be both juicy and crispy. Smoked then fried wings take even more prep and attention.\n\nThere’s no chance they’re putting that much effort into a show advertising the hot sauces they put on the wings. They really don’t have any reason to give af about the wing itself, and its better for the content just to have Gordon Ramsay do his classic “it’s dry” bit.\n\nAlso deep fryers are a smelly fucking mess that covers anything in the vicinity in oil, idk what you’re talking about there",

"Reeaaally hoping for some hot sauce in my monthly hot ones box and not some bullshit ghost pepper honey",
"I'm obviously not comparing the money. Use your head.",

"I'm sure hes a good chef and a good businessman thats been tremendously successful branding his unique persona. The thing about Hot Ones though is, it's one of the few shows I think where guests tend to lay down their Hollywood walls and be themselves. Those interviews are much more interesting. \n\nI mean, Hes a chef on a show about food. I'd much rather hear him talk about his experiences from the point of view as a chef and celebrity. Talk about his experiences with extremely spicy food (hes a chef. You know he knows already exactly how hot those sauces are) his unique view on the sauces themselves. Or anything else that would be unique to his personal experience through life. \n\nInstead we get a guy squirting donuts with lemon juice and making flaming penis jokes. The guy is a clown.

I see it more of a ceremonial finish at this point.\n\n It is however, a great balance between good flavor and high heat, not using extracts is one of its strong points.",

Cities and municipalities are very rapidly pouring money into new projects to increase their water capacity.\n\nI imagine this is simply a relative amount of increasing water cost, but it is significant. In some places the need to build bigger water plants and pumps is also being directly affected by dropping water levels, so it becomes a cycle.",
"Well obviously, it evaporates back into the water cycle, but that doesn’t instantly return it to the reservoirs and lakes. So they’re depleting our fresh water reserves faster than the natural cycle replenishes them. That’s water that people need now for drinking and growing food.",

"Bops for sure",
"Which one of them is Trent? At what point in the video can I see him?",
"pretty sure at least the vocals weren't live. There's no way you get that consistency from a mic dancing around it and moving closer/further away. That, or the sound guy is a fucking magician.",
"yeah I'm not a bassist but, as cheesy as that brick looks I would still like one.",
"> Steinberger L2\n\nThe rest of ordinary basses aren't Steinbergerber ones, it's pretty obvious.",
"Wow this is painful",

">Cheesy lyrics - check\n\nWhat are you talking about? He rhymed \"fire\" with \"desire\". Now that is some groundbreaking poetry!",
"Confession... I absolutely love Steinbergers and would die to get an original. I'm about to pull the trigger on getting a XT-2. Cheesy? Absolutely. Great playing instrument? Absolutely. About 3/4 the weight of a traditional P or J? Absolutely.",
"Move yourself to Nashville! You have an exciting career ahead of you in the song writing department!",
"The 80s.",
"Steinberger basses (and guitars) went with a headless neck and the body was just a little trapezoid made of carbon fiber and graphite composites. They were pretty radical in the early 80s and have a definite unique (some call synthy) sound to them compared to more traditional basses.",

"Appreciate a real answer, thanks.",
"Shy Ronnie",
"This is so oddly specific and accurate.",
"We dont want him",
"Oh god I just looked one up and I'm in the same boat with the microkorg. its in the same price range as well and its that sweet spot where it isn't overly expensive but if I'm gonna shell out that amount on gear there are other things i probably should prioritise and do i really need another synth, Yes of course I do. \nSo you have my blessing",
"You're very welcome.\n\n[Here's](https://www.musicradar.com/news/how-ned-steinberger-redesigned-the-bass-world) a great article about the introduction of the L2.",
"I'd attend a live show to see that as an avant-garde, deconstructionist type piece. But, only for like 5 minutes. Probably would be like \"that's interesting, but really annoying after a while\".",
"In case anyone blinked and missed it - he's there for a few seconds at 0:55 and then I think that's it (he might be there again later but I had to stop shortly after that as my brain was hurting).",
"Yeah but that was just a facade. He wrote and recorded all of the music but said he set it up to look like a band because he just found that more interesting.",
"At first I was like, Wow this doesn't look or sound like Trent at all. Then they showed the second guy and I was like....no...? And then....there he was! Aw, he's dying inside.",
"This city is indeed getting quite full... you do have a point.",
"I think we need to get Trent on here to explain himself a bit.",

"Touring member is a better way to put it",
"Thank you!\n\nThis video is shared here often and I've also always assumed that the singer was him. But this is the first time it has been shared with this title so I realized that it couldn't be the singer and scoured the comment section to figure out which one was him.",
"C'mon! Don't exaggerate. It was like 3.5, maybe even 4 seconds. And a touch at the very end when the guitarist moved, you could see parts of the keyboard behind the column.",
"Jon Brion used to do a weekly show like this at Largo (maybe still does?) and it was very entertaining. He'd move from instrument to instrument, recording into a loop machine (which I guess is sort of common now) and before you know it he was rocking a full song. I once saw him do like a 20 minute version of Freebird just out of spite after someone in the audience shouted it out as a request. Those were some of my favorite live performances.",
"OMG, for the first minute I thought the lead singer was Trent Reznor. I was in total shock for a moment there.\n\nEdit: Trent is the keyboardist dressed in black about 55 seconds in.",
"Keyboardist",
"I’m not great with faces so I spent the first minute thinking “is that him?” And then they pan over to the keyboard player and I was like, oh there he is! It would have been more fun if he had been the singer but I guess it is good to know that Andy Samberg is a time traveller.",
"In a similar vein, Dr. Dre was in a group called the [World Class Wreckin' Crew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9O-pUGsVM) that was very inspired by Prince.",
"I was thinking about grabbing an XT-DB2 myself, just because when I was younger, I saw an older Steinberger and absolutely fell in love with the design. \n\n\nDo I need it? No. Do I want it? Absolutely.",
"TIL",
"Shy Ronnie!!!",
"Better than NIN that’s for fuckin sure.",
"Nailed it!",
"> XT-DB2\n\nI thought about the XT-2DB instead of a regular XT-2 but kinda find it hard to justify the extra $50 for drop B when I rarely play anything that requires it.\n\nIf that's something that fits your metal groove, then it's a great pickup without having the stupid buzz of a loose E or getting a 5 string.",
"That's insane levels of talent. I think he did all of the mixing / final sound editing himself too.",
"MANNY?!?!",
"He got a job at the recording studio as a janitor simply to be able to work on his album after hours",
"A step above some hip hop nowadays. Now you get \"fire\" rhymed with \"fire\". SMDH",

It's cheaper and easier to fake it. By the 2000's it was more common for shit to actually be played live but if you go back and watch old SNL, talk show, or even MTV performances, the mix on the audio is often *terrible*.",

"Agreed, and I really want Trent to do a NIN version of it.",
"Idk, it actually looked like he was having fun and singing along. It was all done to track, so it's not like he was actually singing backup vocals. From everything I've heard Reznor's always seemed like one of those \"music first,\" type people who just really like to make music.",

"Lol, all these colors then reznor in black haha. Funny.",
"Your purposely misinterpreting him to try to be funny but you know dead people can't play instruments. One was a zombie and the other was a dracula. Then Trent started hiring live humans instead because of politics.",
"Should see what Ministry was up to before the industrial metal kicked in.",
"We just let him play with us because we owe him a favor but honestly he has no future in music. He doesn't even understand the genius behind my hair and the lyric\n\n\"Watching you sleep as I fix up my hair to be with you. My desire burning for you like a house on fire\".",

The following is an excerpt from the book No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes: An Oral History of the Legendary City Gardens\nAl Jourgensen: We got the Fairlight fixed after that night. We took it to some computer geek in Pennsylvania, and we kept on going. That’s actually how I met Trent Reznor. I accidentally spilled beer on my four-track machine during a Revolting Cocks tour in Cleveland and broke it, and we couldn’t get fixed in time for the show. The people at the club said they knew this local kid who had the exact same four-track. We brought him over and rented the gear from him, and then we said, “We’re taking this.” Trent said, “No, you’re not taking this. You already destroyed one and you’re not going to destroy mine.” So, he came on the road with us. Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails was Revolting Cocks’ roadie. We used to throw firecrackers in his bunk and call him Techno Kid. We used to torture that poor bastard",

Invisible Records made a pretty hard run at that genre for a while. The Johnny Cash cover album is.. different.\n\nAnd for the love of all that is holy, check out the Head Like a Hole cover by Pig.

I skateboarded, listened to punk and alternative. I had a blast and 80s punk and alternative are way better than the 90s pop punk/ mall music. Now I also loved the 90s, especially the early 90s (really an extension of the late 80s). Hip hop and the dance music scene were in the “golden era” during the early 90s.",

"Through the mid 90s? I think you mean right up until today. It still happens more often then not.",
"Good god in hell those lyrics. They remind me a bit of Samwell, and that's not a good comparison.",

The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.\n\nIn '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is \"Hip to be Square\", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.

So they threw everything they had at you at the time, carefully catering to the specific things which you and members of your generation and demographic enjoyed and valued. \n\nNow? There's a different generation who is receiving the exact same treatment. Fifteen years from now there will be another generation getting the same treatment as well, and the kids of today will look at the current mass media output with the same nostalgia as you are, asking the same question; \"Has the world really gone downhill?\" Go ask someone twenty years older than you about the movies of the 1970s, and I think you'll find a very similar reaction in place. \n\nIt's gone downhill for you because you're no longer the target demographic.

"These are actually Truck/Bus Driver seats. They cancel out all the road Vibrations. I guess they make a real difference. Bus rides are usually not comfy at all and the US has no high speed rail. So I guess this is the most comfy option apart from a 600$ Business class flight.",

"Why is it considered more objectionable for a landlord to cohabitate with tenants in a house share without paying himself rent on an asset that he owns, than it would be for a landlord to rent the same house exclusively to third parties and use the additional rent revenue to subsidize the cost of his own living elsewhere?\n\nIf you distill this narrative down, the “moral” persona is arguing that it is despicable for the “landlord” persona to collect rents from his friends who happen to also be his tenants without paying a share of his own and that argument is intrinsically flawed.\n\nRegardless of how the “landlord” secured the original funds to acquire the property… he did. He took a risk, made an investment, and recruited people to buy a service of value he is providing with the property. Assuming none of the friends or tenants were coerced under duress into becoming tenants all parties are receiving benefit from the arrangement. It’s not like he somehow trapped people who never needed a home or never had the expense of rent into becoming his tenants just by buying the property and being his acquaintance. Reality remains that his tenants would have to live somewhere, and have to pay rent somewhere, or acquire a property of their own. This guy set up a business. He Provides a valuable services that is mutually agreeable for all parties, and has set up a management company to act as a proxy for his interests. It’s his property, his investment, and his risk, and ultimately his burden to maintain them property and satisfactory conditions for his tenants. Whether the tenants perceive that they are paying rent to a third party, or rent to him is inconsequential to the service they are consuming and value they are receiving, and the fact that he is able to derive a profit from it is no different that any other successful business model out there.\n\nTheir economic value to the tenants for the luxury home accommodations they are renting and benefiting is not affected by the rent rate paid or not paid by the landlord living amongst them.",
"I don't get what the video creator is trying to portray here. Does he expect the owner to pay rent also, which just goes back to the themselves, coz they are literally the owner?\n\nAnd I'm pretty sure the owner's friends are not forced to rent from only him also. They rent because they find the rent cost to be acceptable. So not sure whats the point of talking about social currency either.",

"A comment like this is always posted but still remains relevant. This episode apparently aired in 1995 but legislation phasing out teflon wasn't passed until 2003 (and it took till 2014 to fully phase out!). I'm unsure of when the public originally learned that teflon was as dangerous as we now know, but 3M and Dupont definitely knew as far back as the 70s and continued to manufacture it.\n\nIf you have old non-stick pans you should dispose of them even IF you don't use metal cookware, as high temperatures can also cause dangerous chemicals to be leaked from these pans. We can only hope that one day the companies responsible for this will be forced to clean up every single molecule of these substances they willfully disposed of in unsafe ways.",

"Whatever she's doing is accidental. I was the one to warn her against soaking in soapy water or putting in dish washer. Now she just scrubs with a scratchy sponge under flowing water, wipes off with paper towel, and calls it good. \n\nI think it's that we use it for many things, many times per day, with many thermal cycles of large magnitude (i.e. when we cook, it's usually very hot as is the Chinese way). The more we use it, the better it is. Probably helps that Chinese go hard and heavy with the oil (we use EVOO and tell ourselves 'it's healthy!'). I just googled and what they're describing as seasoning is basically what we do 2-4 times per day. \n\nIt reminds me of when I had a rust problem on my tools due to where I was working, some recommended using camphor (or some sort of sublimating wax) blocks which would leave a layer of wax on tools inside but the best advice I got was: the best way to prevent rust on your tools is to use them often.

No.\n\nHis whole premise is that it's everywhere already, in many other products that you use, in your water, blood, etc and reported injuries from non stick pans are extremely low. So therefore it's not as bad as you think. That is BS. Even toxicology doctors know very little about the long term effects of Teflon, PFOAs and it's many alternates.

"I used to be a gas only type of person. But having had some newer electric stoves now, I'd say that electric is way better now. \n\nGas stoves have hot spots where the flames actually hit the pan, so you get a ring of heat. Newer glasstop electric stoves are pretty much even where the pan meets the glass, so as long as you have nice flat pans, you get a good even heat. I'd say the trade off is that the heat doesn't react as quickly to changes though. So if you are making things where you need to go from high heat to low heat quickly, gas is better.\n\nI think the problem is when you have the older coil element stoves, those are pretty much trash.",

"Agreed that shoveling is critical and looks like a nice spot. \n\nFrom my experience as a kid, the sides are way too high and the ice way too thick.

It was bricks of ice that could sink Titanic. \n\nWe learned that you really only need a VERY thin layer of water to get enough ice for skating. So, we got rid of the bricks and then used a sprayer on the end of the hose to do 2 layers of sprayed water. Spray, freeze. Repeat. Easy to re-apply once the ice gets beat up between periods (ha!). \n\nIf necessary, Zamboni with a blow torch, which is, like, really fun when you're 10 years old.",

But in just one conversation they gave me enough to chew on, and over time I came to see how wrong that state of mind is. \n\nPOC can't really exhibit racism towards white ppl because the reality is that this country is still very much a country built for whites at the expense of others. We are more privileged than we even realize, and there are still very nefarious practices and social norms that keep Black people, POC, and many marginalized groups, from easily attaining the same things in life that come to us so naturally.

"Yea, this story is fine as a human interest story, but stupid as some generalization about problems in the system, and appears to be inflamed by people that have no clue about the appraisal process. \n \nLet me caveat that I think parts of the appraisal industry are a joke to start with. For example, they do what they call \"drive by\" or even \"online only\" appraisals. Where they don't even look inside the house or on the property, yet make assessments about finishes that can swing the price of a $500k house by $50k easy. \n \nIf these people got an actual paper appraisal, not some random realtor comp estimate thing ... then that appraisal sheet has the exact calculations used to generate the value. Including comparative properties, identified adjustments up or down for finishes, lot size, corner vs cul-de-sac, etc. You can see exactly how they added up your value, and agree or disagree with each calculation. Nowhere on that sheet is race listed. \n \nHowever, some choices such as comps have some subjectivity. And national surveys with long term comprehensive data can show a racial discrepancy. So it is possible for race to impact some of the subjectivity. If the $1.4 M appraisal used fresh comps within 0.5 miles, but the $0.9 M appraisal used old comps from 10 miles away ... you could argue that choice was wrong. And then argue whether that choice was race based. But that choice could easily be incompetence based as well. Again, I've seen valuations for other purposes (not appraisal purposes) swing $100k. Literally, one person one day says $450k. A different person the next day says $550k. \n \nThis isn't to contest that racial discrepancies exist in the system. But this is to contest that every discrepancy, when race may be a factor, is entirely explained by race. Appraisal screw ups happen to all races.",
"No they are not. An appraisal for lending purposes is to determine the market value of a property as of a specific date between a willing buyer and seller.

"Gonna be real here. It’s a learned behavior. People are looking for any reason to blame someone else, and racism is easy to go to. It also requires zero evidence or any effort on the accusing parties behalf, it’s up to the accused to “defend” themselves. Take this story, when it was first posted on Reddit 99% of people on here were screaming “omg racist!” while having absolutely nothing to base it off other than some random couple saying it. It may have been racism, it may not be but everyone defaults to “omg It’s racist” knowing absolutely nothing about it. Does racism exist? Hell yes it does. Does it exist in the levels everyone acts like it does? Not even close. People inherently don’t like to take responsibility for their actions, it’s like that joke where people say “everyone is driving like assholes” well if EVERYONE else is driving like an asshole you’re the common denominator sooooo. \n\nAlso getting tired of the double standard, further up there’s some dude talking about how his grandma sold her house to a white family then they ended up selling it for a profit.

"Theres a real problem of racial discrimination in this country and that requires a spotlight on instances which highlight the problem. In that process some stories will turn out to lack substance, but the process of journalism also informs us when that turns out to be the case. It's just the inevitable outcome of the media reporting on literally any given subject. Whether its sports reporting talking about rumored trades that never happen or environmental reporting on a problem that turns out to be not worth worrying about. \n\nThe only systemic problem I see with these things is that the stories that get deflated are then held up as an example of nefarious intent to manufacture race based stories and that narrative is little more than an attempt to suppress reporting on racial issues as a whole.",

"It's summer in the southern hemisphere.\n\nFYI.",
"In high school he was friends with Frankie Valli and Tommy DeVito... and he even introduced them to songwriter Bob Guadio (which lead to the formation of *The Four Seasons*).\n\nHe tried to follow in their footsteps with a shortlived musical career (singing or playing guitar in various bands), before he tried for stand-up comedy and then acting.",
"What a vile thing to do, but I don't have it in me to completely write off anyone for some stupid emotional comments 20 something years ago. I have to believe that we are more than something shitty we said/did decades ago, people can change, besides we are more than the sum only of our worst actions.",
"Tear up a picture of the Muhammad on TV and see what happens… Serious religious folk get very angry when you insult their religious icons. While you don’t care about the Pope, there are hundreds of millions who do. Not to mention people who grew up before the internet and didn’t have much information in their formative years about the catholic church’s sins.",
"How vulgar. I love it.",
"People absolutely can change - he, however, has never apologized for his frankly grotesque words about a woman who was proven to be 100% right. So until he does, I'll keep him grouped with the other grotesque human beings out there and won't consume any of his works, just like I haven't for Kevin Spacey or Bill Cosby.",
"Those \"serious religious folk\" got very angry about the tearing up of a *photo* yet did **nothing** about the very real, very actual child rape that was going on (and in) the Catholic church. To paraphrase Bill Burr, they instead chose to move around the \"problematic\" pedophile priests like human-killing orcas at seaworld. So you'll forgive me if I don't care much for their clutching of pearls when they could stopped actual children from being raped.",
"I think it's a little bit much to group him in with Kevin Spacey and Bill Cosby, repeated instances of rape and/or sexual assault over many years is very different than a tasteless comment. It seems frankly kind of insulting and a devaluation of the victims of Spacey and Cosby to pretend like it's at all equivalent. \n\nI'm also not sure that this is the sort of thing that warrants a public apology. A private apology maybe, but it's not like Pesci has much of a public presence or that anyone else seems to be clamoring for one. I'm not disputing that Sinead O'Connor was right, or unfairly treated, or arguing that what Pesci said was appropriate but there are generally agreed gradations to things like this and his shitty comment just doesn't rank very high. A comment in a 30 year old SNL opening monologue seems like very little to decide to damn someone over. Besides people can change without going through a public act of penance. I'm not really sure what a public apology would do besides the basic performative aspect and frankly I think it would come across kind of silly to put out a press release just for that from someone who's fairly media shy these days and has been for years. \n\nThough by all means don't watch shit with Joe Pesci in it if it makes you feel better.",
"I hear about more teachers raping their underage students these days than I do priests. No one seems to attach the same stigma to them, and there doesn't seem to be any great push to stop the next crop of stories we get every year. In fact, if the teacher is a woman and deemed sufficiently attractive, we all just laugh about how lucky that underage boy was to be raped by his pedophile teacher. Then the justice system gives her a slap on the wrist.",
"It’s a strange truth that some of the biggest contributors to the advancement of the human race, whether it be science, arts, politics, lead despicable, terrible lives. Dave Chapelle did a standup about a superhero that can save dozens of people from a burning building only if he can pet someone’s vagina first. It’d be hard to quantify the amount of positive impact that Bill Cosby has had on American civil rights. Any number of the most impactful scientists/artists/statesmen have had an equally unpleasant or more so personal life. It’s hard to objectively quantify. If someone were to solve world hunger, and then brutally rape and murder someone, what is their net impact on the world?",
"You can’t do these things comparatively. If your only argument to “catholic priests are raping children” is “other people are raping children more with less blowback” that’s a bad argument. It comes across as defensive.",
"Does the school network in the country you are talking about have a history of moving perpetrators to other schools and covering up their crimes? Is it not subject to the law? Are it's members not appointed by a system which can be changed through democratic means?",
"I just think some people love an opportunity to shit on the Catholic church. They're not really interested in doing anything to protect children, because they ignore the same kind of abuse elsewhere.",
"> I hear about more teachers raping their underage students these days than I do priests\n\nAFAIK there weren't schools out there shuffling around pedophile teachers like the catholic church **chose** to do for pedophile priests.

RKO set up a driving range on its lot in Encino three weeks before principal photography began, and Astaire practiced the moves for two weeks. \"I had about 300 golf balls and five men shagging them, a piano and Hal Borne to play for me,\" he recalled. The final sequence involved many takes over two days, and what you see in the movie was pieced together from the best bits. In the clip below, the golf stuff starts about a minute in. Notice that Astaire wears two golf gloves (with buttons!) throughout.",

"And also had that shit eating grin trying not the laugh the whole time.",
"It is a comedy song that has several layers. The most obvious being that it is terrible performance and they are struggling to not laugh. But the song itself is a joke already. It is your typical 1-4-5 pattern in major key. But the melody is not, it starts from 9th and goes to root and then using maj7.. which it is quite sad and \"lame\", not something that really fits the lyrics at all. It would fit Tom Waits better than Santa Claus... This is confirmed at the end by picking up notes that just.. are not cheerful, resolving in a very unsatistfying manner. It is kind of a sad song, the melody would really fit better if the lyrics were about a conflict that isn't resolved. The mandolin also plays a different melody that the vocals: it is meant to be as stupid as possible and whether they knew anything about music theory, they found some of the most unpleasing notes to use. Juxtaposing that with the lyrics and there are your second and third layers.",
"I mean I get that. But why would you want to listen to this as entertainment? How boring",
"... because i find it genuinely entertaining. In fact, the second time they did it was even better but at the 40th anniversary it was \"meh\"... The first two are still genuine, the last one is too planned \"standby fallon loses it, 3..2..1.. go!...\"\n\nAnd no, i have not analyzed it before why it is funny, it just was that the first time i saw it. I don't care if SNL is \"not cool\", it is a hit and miss show just like one would expect from a weekly comedy show done live. But without SNL we would not have MacGruber."

"Geddy, Alex and Neil were world treasures together as Rush.\n\nSurprised it took that long (2013) to get them in.",
"Rush rule",
"Best three-man-band (rock) of all time, IMO.",
"Fuck yea",
"I'm honestly surprised they hadn't been inducted by now.",
"I was hoping for Rush Limbaugh.\n\nAlso, Neil Pert and his wife(?) do a great Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson impersonation.",
"-.---.----..",
"slightly off topic because I admit I'm not in very knowledgeable about Rush but I know that their sound changed and evolved over the years like other bands that have lasted. My question is did they experience divisions in their fan base when their sound changed kind of like what bands like Metallica experienced over the years when trying to evolve and not be stale?",
"Randy Newman almost seemed to know what’s up…..you’re announcing me before Rush?",
"They were inducted 8 years ago.\n\nYou can tell because Neil is still alive here, and because 2013 was 8 years ago.",
"Nope.",
"Probably just a little bit, I would guess. I know when keyboards became popular at the height of progressive rock, Geddy started playing those and stopped playing as much bass. Alex (guitarist) was bummed out and wanted them to \"rock\" more (which I guess meant, more guitar, bass guitar in this case). So, after a couple of albums with keyboards, Geddy began to move back to the bass and left the keyboards. I, for one, think this is a great phase in the band's catalog, but there are probably some fans who felt as Alex did.",
"I don't know if that was Will Ferrell or Chad Smith. Since it's music related, I'll guess Chad Smith.",
"I love Rush but goddamn, amazing editing by PowerDirector",
"This was a big deal because Jann Wenner (the guy at the podium, who is the founder of Rolling Stone magazine), doesn’t like them and refused to let them be inducted for a long time.",
"Pretty hard to announce anyone after rush!\n\nI attended SARSstock in Toronto c2002 and the rolling Stones played last. The band before them? AC/DC. I actually felt bad for the stones because AC/DC didn't blow the roof off the place - it was already outside. They tore the goddamn sky open. Seeing the stones after them was like going on a kiddie coaster after the best thrill ride you've ever been on.",
"Even then, though, to have gone gone over 40 years, when the beginning threshold was to be a band for at least 20 to get in, was considered criminal by basically the entire rock world.",
"Rock n Roll HoF is boring useless crap. \n\nRush is good though but screw the RnR HoF. They serve no purpose.",
"It’s moments like this when the world seems like it makes sense.",
"TIL.\n\nThanks.",
"I thought I saw Tom Hanks but apparently he's a member of rush?",
"Well, yeah I totally agree, but that isn't what they said.",
"Respect earned and given.",
"Wow. That was a huge moment. That whistle.",
"The version from the Exit Stage Left live album is the best version of that piece, especially because of Neil's drum solo.",
"only subdivisions",
"No, the user you replied to thought this just happened - I was just pointing out, despite it really having happened 8 years ago, it was still long overdue even then. \n\nThis was one of the last HoF shows I watched. I knew right away this was old af, and not because Peart was alive. He only died just, shit; it's almost been 2 years now. Feels like longer - he had more in him.\n\nRIP to one of the greats.",
"How could you not like Rush enough to keep them out of the hall of fame? Personal opinions aside, they were a HUGE band and had plenty of iconic hits.",
"Very powerful stuff",
"That’s wild.. They’re receiving one of highest honors in the music industry, and in a room full of their \npeers/fans they get a standing ovation. I can’t even imagine how incredible that must feel.",
"I don’t know a ton about Rush fans and their preferences, but my general understanding is that there was some of that. I know sone fans seriously didn’t like the “synth era” for example. Though I don’t know that this caused anyone to like leave the fan base, or vice versa.",
"It’s amazing that I know exactly what that is.",
"Apparently, he didn't like Progressive Rock, Yes wasn't inducted until 2017.",
"Ya know what? I'm not that big of an ac/DC fan but if you asked me what show I would most want to see of any band ever? AC/DC and queen followed by everyone else.",
"So the Rock Hall of Fame is just some dude's personally approved list of bands?\n\nLike, instead of it being a reflection of their impact on the music industry, in the end this guy was vetoing shit? Who else got vetoed?\n\nFeels like Rock Hall of Fame is not very meaningful if it's just up to Rolling Stone's founder for the bottom line, instead of the band's contribution to music.",
"My dad is a lifelong rush fan. Just a dude from LA, and I can tell you he owned tons of Rush CDs. I’m pretty sure he owned all of them and any time we had to do household chores when mom was out running errands you knew dad was popping in a rush CD into the Boombox. I don’t think their fans were then divided.",

"Ooh, I like what you did there",
"They’re about to have a brand new pinball machine themed after them.",
"Just like your existence",
"Certainly. Subdivisions and to a greater extent Signals and Grace Under Pressure really turned many die hard power rock fans away. The introduction of multi layered keyboards and programming synths just didn't sit well with a lot of folks for some reason.\n\nInterestingly these albums ushered in a new level of writing for Peart. He was as much a genius when it came to lyrics as he was behind the kit.\n\nRush should have been inducted in their first year of eligibility...but let's get real...the R&R HOF should be renamed to the Music HOF because the list of genres celebrated there is not at all exclusive to screaming guitars and drum solos",
"I WAS THERE. ROARING.",

I kept wondering why the room rates were out of control that night.\n\nI seriously had no clue what was going on. One night we got in the elevator to go downstairs. We stopped on the floor below us, and Alex Lifeson and Neal Peart got into the elevator with us. Lifeson had his guitar case (I guess?) in his hand. They seemed super familiar. I sat there trying to place who they were but didn't say anything and minded my own business. Rode down silently to the lobby. When the doors opened everyone was like \"enjoy the night! you earned it!\" and stuff like that to them. Looking at the video, the outfit Alex is wearing is the same he was wearing in the elevator.\n\nAs we exited the lobby Nile Rogers was down there cheesing for photos with people.\n\nI have never felt like such a clueless dumbass in all my life. I knew Rush and their music but had no idea what they looked like except for Geddy Lee.",

My wife got to sit in the audience of a radio show they did in DC and then got to meet Alex and Geddy after when they were autographing things. One of the other audience members had tattoos of EVERY Rush album to that point somewhere on his body. He had them sign his shoulders in Sharpie and had a deal with his tattoo artist back home to trace the signatures as soon as he got back no matter the time of day. Now THAT is dedication... lol.",

Most other rock critic outlets followed suit. But the shift finally came (as you can tell by folks like Grohl and Morello going nuts in the audience) when younger *musicians* started citing and acclaiming Rush as an influence. It's a really great testament to their staying power and remaining true to themselves until the powers that be had no choice but to accept them for who they were.\n\nBand leader and drummer Neal Peart died 2-3 years after this.",

Kinda slowed things down. \n\nHowever, I will say that I’m still grateful to the Stones for putting the show together. That was a tough summer for my city (though a cakewalk compared to what we’ve all been through for the last two years) and they are huge champions of Toronto.",

"And some would argue that neither were the Monkees. I'm not trying to hate on them or anything, but they really were closer to a boyband, or a corporate K-pop group today, in their creation and existence than a traditional rock band. But even that doesn't necessarily automatically exclude them from induction. There are a ton of \"non-Rock\" artists and bands in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They won't get in because they don't merit it, plain and simple.

I'm a casual prog rock listener (mostly Dream Theater) but I *totally* get when people don't like it. From their perspective, songs are too long, it's too busy sounding, it sounds cheesy (usually because of the synth keyboards), and to be honest, the vocalists that usually end up on these types of bands aren't usually the greatest, etc. Some people just like catchy 3-5 minute songs sung by really good (or at least unique) singers.",

Which they still have to do usually in to their 60s-70s because WWE doesn't take care of them when they were working there and their bodies accrue massive injuries over the years.",

Instead, AC/DC goes out there and does the show of their lives, and leaves the old guys to come out and clean up the mess they left behind. And the Stones knew it.",

They fought to write their own songs and play their own instruments, but those are later albums, and aren't the songs they're famous for. \n\nThey were about as genuine as The Archies or The Partridge Family.",

"There's a voting process with a large body of voters. There are also eligibility requirements that need to be met.\n\nThat being said, Jann Wenner always had final veto power. This has led to controversy a few times, like:\n\n\\- In 2007, the Dave Clark Five received more votes than Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, but Wenner felt the Hall couldn't go another year without a rap act. So the Five were bounced, and Flash was inducted.\n\n\\- In 1994, Wenner got Paul McCartney to agree to induct John Lennon by promising him that he would be inducted the following year. Afterward, he pulled a bait and switch, making McCartney wait until 1999 before he got inducted. When Paul was inducted in 1999, his daughter Stella wore a shirt to the ceremony that said \"it's about fucking time.\"",
"I wondered if anyone would compare it to WWE, because that's the most apt comparison. Thanks for mentioning it.",
"That's why I didn't say, they wrote *all* their own songs. Also, Last Train to Clarksville was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, not Neil Diamond. But regardless, the point wasn't that they wrote *every* song they performed, that was extremely rare in the 60s. The commenter I was replying to stated that \"they could've been anyone that halfway knew how to play an instrument\" and that isn't true. They wrote a lot of songs and were actually pretty talented.",

"It's actually a fairly controversial subject. Essentially it is up to very few people, but public opinion is factored in. An artist has to be at least 25 years in with their career, and rush fans had been pushing hard since they became eligible, which is why they cheered so much in this video. \n\nOn the other hand, Axl Rose has publicly said he would never accept the award, nor would be allow anyone to accept on his behalf, even after he dies. He argues, as others do, that it's not very Rock and Roll to be in a hall of fame.\n\nalso they make the inductees perform at the show, even if they haven't been active for years, which is sometimes fun\n\nEdit: not Slash, Axl Rose",

"It's so weird having grown up during that time and not being a fan of Rush until later in life. There was a thought back then that they were too electronic to be a rock band and that they weren't prog enough. Heavy metal fans hated them for some reason. People had a hard time defining them back then and so to a lot of rock purists they just seemed like they weren't taking things seriously. I dunno, maybe it was because they were Canadian too? Sucks because it took me so long to appreciate how technically brilliant they are as a band",

I remember back in the 2000's when they weren't even getting considered for induction us fans were not pleased, but the boys were just like whatev! \n\nI tried to find some quotes pre-2013 about them talking about the RHOF but it's difficult, I did find this interview from GuitarWorld though that supports what I said, and Alex's acceptance speech is just one big joke as well.\n\n> I think we’ve been eligible for the last 14 or 15 years. But our position has always been that if we’re not part of that scene, that’s okay. But I think for our fans, they were…they were pretty pissed! And that’s the thing about Rush fans. They’re very vocal with their piss-iness. [laughs] So it’s nice to get have it happen.

I bet the only money it makes is from selling the rights to televise these these events. There’s a museum in Cleveland, but nobody goes to Cleveland.",
"I think the reason why the band stood the test of time is because unlike other bands who've modified their sound (Opeth is a great example), they've always managed to maintain that \"Rush\" sound and feel. \n\nSeriously, whether you listen to Red Sector A, Closer to the heart, or Cygnus x-1, its immediately apparent who you're listening to while being wildly different.",
"Oh hells yes, Kings X is such a great band !\nProbably too (comparatively) unknown to be inducted.",
"No, definitely not controversy. They were a slam dunk to be inducted. They're just very talented and popular because of it. Musicians in particular love them because a lot of their music is unique, very difficult to play, and the band includes one of the greatest drummers of all time, one of the best bass players of all time, and an incredible guitar player. They're just really good and well-respected is all. No drama or backstory.",

When it was my turn, and I answered \"Rush,\" with a pointed stare (this guy was on the voting and nominating committee, and Rush was famously not in yet), he said \"oh, you're one of those guys.\"\n\nGoddamn right I am. Just like that audience. \n\nI know I can't claim to be responsible for their induction. Although I will point out that they never got in until AFTER this event. So, you know, read between the lines.",
"Maybe the uncle was a story teller",
"There are plenty of ways it could get up to $4,000. Maybe the venue offered all sorts of specialty add-ons (private box/backstage passes/etc), maybe the uncle included additional stuff in that price (prepaid for fancy dinner/accommodations/flight there/etc), or maybe the uncle was just telling a tall tale to guilt the guy for choosing a blowjob over his relative.",

"Sure, you bet. Yeah, people are just pumped for them. It's hard to call them underrated because they have a huge fan base and lots of respect, but at the same time it's not like they have a whole bunch of Top 10 hits or anything. They're just the type of band people like to see getting recognized for the quality of their work I guess.",

And that's fucked up.\n\nFWIW, I just call it the Music Hall of Fame. I've been there. It's really cool. I'd go again. But calling it rock and roll is clearly a misnomer",
"That's not quite accurate. They were eligible to be inducted in 1998, but it took 15 years because the guy presenting in the video didn't like them (Jann Wenner).\n\nRun DMC made it in first. To the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.",

I've seen them several dozen times with my first show being in 1979(plus my birthday is the same as Neil's), but musically Signals WAS a leap and I never once held a grudge against anybody that claimed they didn't like it.

"That crowd likely has a very high percentage of musicians. Nearly every musician I know of has respect for them, and appreciates some of their songs, even if Rush's music isn't typically to their taste.\n\nRush is definitely a musicians band, and thus the crowds response out of respect and appreciation. I don't like them, but I do own a few albums just because a few songs are wildly unusually, interesting, and great examples of virtuoso musicianship. \n\nThey've never really sold out and have always stuck to their unusual niche for something like 40 years.

I'm not saying it's not fine to call them all rock and roll or rhythm and blues or blues or whatever classification helps you, just arguing against that kind of arbitrary line in the sand based on logic I don't follow.",

And their unusual, but very smart songs proved that hard rock didn't have to be dumb rock.\n\nIt's very hard to overstate their influence on music.\n\nIt's a big plus that all three of the band members are really cool people in their own right so you can be a superfan without worrying if you're idolizing a douchebag :)",

"Yeah, My personal favorite is Hemispheres, but you definitely shouldn't START with that one. The first track is a sequel to the last track on the previous album!\n\nBut honestly, Moving Pictures isn't THAT proggy aside from Camera Eye, and even then it's mostly just because it's long. It's still a catchy song. YYZ is proggy I suppose, but it's short enough, and tons of people know it from Guitar Hero or whatever. Tom Sawyer and Limelight are two of their biggest hits, and Red Barchetta is also pretty well known. I think that album has a great balance between proggy and catchy, and would say it's accessible enough.\n\nMy issue with presto is I think it's maybe their most unremarkable album. The mix is thin, and you don't really get to appreciate how creative the songwriting used to be, or how insanely good at their instruments they are. \n\nShow Don't Tell, Scars, and Superconductor are my favorites on the album, but if that was my first Rush album, I'd have pretty mixed feelings on the band, and wouldn't have been super interested in moving forward with them.\n\nI think Presto is easier to appreciate when you realize where they came from, and the intentional choice to go much more stripped down. \n\nIf I were REALLY needing to recommend a non-prog Rush album, I'd pick Counterparts. Those first three tracks are awesome, and I think the mix of the album is WAY better than Presto",
"We really need to kick all current award show setups to the curb and make new ones headed by retired masters of the craft, like musicians and moviemakers.",
"That's actually a super good response and I agree. I love everything they did and I think of their music as coming in phases. Like when Alex complained that their music was too heavy in synth and not as rock forward as they had been, and then they moved into the Clockwork Angels phase. But I also like the synth stuff. And I love their early raw stuff pre Neil, though I think any fan can admit Neil was the driving force behind the bands creative explosion.

John Bonham was Plant’s best friend, and he mentioned that he felt it wasn’t right that his family wasn’t there, that they deserved to be as much as any of them. \n\nSo, for the final performance of the evening, Jason Bonham surprises all of them by coming on stage to perform Stairway to Heaven alongside Heart. \nI can’t even imagine the feeling of watching the son of your best friend, who has been dead for over 30 years by this point, surprise you by coming on stage during an event to honor yours and his father’s legacy, to perform *your* song.

I don’t need you to explicitly lay out every single point you were trying to make. And besides that, I thought the writing itself was just unbearable. And I like the overall message she was trying to go for. But fuck, I just couldn’t slog through it. Felt like she was thinking, “okay, well there’s the statement I want to make.

The rock hall obviously isn’t using the highly specific definition of rock and roll. \n\nAnd yes, it is pretty useless when used that broadly.

This morning I played the video for some of the family gathered here for Christmas Eve. We ended up watching a couple other videos related to that one, and one was Jimmy page listening to the original recording and explaining the writing process behind the song. It was really interesting because it was almost as if whoever arranged the tribute performance had listened to his explanation and really made it come to life. The way he describes the song unfolding and the building in intensity both emotionally and sonically. It’s exactly what they did and the execution was just perfect. Pages reactions were great as well.",

"I was there. The stones were pathetic. Old men panting into a mic while a real band played in the shadows behind them cause they can't even keep up with their own music anymore.\n\n\nThe guess who set it up, Rush blew everyone's nips off and AC set us on fire, by the time the stones were out there we were heading for the exits.",
"I'm just happy I was able to get my kids to some of their shows (Time Machine, Clockwork Angels, and R40). My wife and I saw Time Machine as just the two of us. We hadn't paid attention to when other tour dates were because we would usually just see them once per tour (limited funds and all). After the show, we were lamenting that we wish we'd brought our kids because the tour would have been a great show to take someone to as their first Rush concert. They played a lot of their radio hits (plus that funny as hell opening into Spirit of Radio).\n\nWe were going on vacation the following week and they happened to be playing an arena about an hour away from where we were staying. We stopped on the way to our vacation and secured last minute \"whatever you have\" tickets for the 4 of us. For Clockwork Angels and R40, we just naturally included the kids when we bought tickets. Worth every penny.\n\nAnd if you want a new way to enjoy Rush, search for reaction videos on YouTube, especially if it's the first time someone is watching one of their videos and most especially if they're a musician so they understand how talented the guys really are.",

"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has, since its inception, included the genres from which Rock and Roll was born, and for a couple decades now included those who evolved from it too starting with the inclusion of hip-hop in 1999. Randy Newman's legendary career is steeped in Americana, Soul and Rhythm & Blues, all of which have a history intertwined with that of Rock and Roll - and his early discography is also undeniably rock, mainly coming from the angle of its roots.\n\n\nHe absolutely deserves a spot in there regardless of the purity of one's definition, and I highly, highly recommend checking out 12 Songs and Good Old Boys if you don't think he had an important presence in the Rock and Rock canon proper.",
"ACDC were amazing. I've seen probably 10,000 bands in my life (no exaggeration, its up there), and that was one of the more unexpected 'wow' performances I've seen. Tons of energy, they were tight as fuck.. all around good set.\n\nThe Stones sucked. If I remember correctly, they took forever to take the stage after ACDC as well. \n\nProbably the most unexpected performance was Iggy at Riotfest about 8 years ago. Only way to describe that level of energy that he had was cocaine. Very good non stop set that I thought may have been lip synced because it was so good, until he had an issue at one point and dropped the mic and the vocals cut. Iggy nailed it.",

There really should be separate Halls for different subgenres, the same way blues or country have their own. Having ELP, who absolutely belongs in, on the same playing field as Del Shannon, who also absolutely belongs in, is unfair when there's only so many inductees who go in and a panel that's more concerned with rubbing shoulders with celebrities and mainstream coverage than artistic merit. \n\nIt still boggles my mind a ton of prog rock and hair metal got the shaft because a couple of rock journalists in their 60s have a hardon for the well known rock genre hip hop.",

"> Cygnus x-1\n\nI've clocked more hours listening to this song than any other song in my life... which is relatively easy to do at 10 and a half minutes long a play lol. but I'd honestly just get home from school, toss my bag on the floor, toss Farewell to Kings on side 2 and throw the needle over top of the divider to skip straight to it and just listen to it through again, and again, and again until supper time. It honestly still sucks me in just as much as it did as a kid when I'd close my eyes, and feel myself adrift at space, and chaotically falling into the blackhole of Cygnus X-1 amid the whirling screams of Geddy lol. For anyone who hasn't indulged themselves, Book 1 (Cygnus X-1 from Farewell to Kings) and Book 2 (Hemispheres from... Hemispheres lol) back to back is a 28 minute and 32 second investment of your life that can change you, if you let it :P. Honestly just sit back, close your eyes, imagine yourself in the story unfolding, and soak it in for the full ~28 minutes. Worth every second, every time lol\n\nI'm still determined to some day be able to ace this song on drums... I'm still a long way off but I've listened to it so many times, I can play it better than I should be able to just because its so deeply baked into my brain and I've been training the muscle memory from drumming to it on my legs for my entire life lol",
"It’s been well argued for a long time that rap is a direct descendent of rock. Counter culture, heavy beats, etc. From that it seems easy to draw a line to hip hop as well.

"I’ll correct it",
"They are one of the biggest selling acts in history, and they did it with no help from the press. HOF hates prog music, so its been an uphill battle on top of that. \n\nFor 40 years Rush sold out arenas the world over, always with class and integrity, and the dedicated fan base is probably the largest in the world. This video shows that very well.\n\nThis site will tell you a bit more about the selection process:\n\nhttps://www.rockhall.com/rock-roll-hall-fame-announces-2021-inductees",
"Oh I know who they are, I was just curious if the roar here was because they were denied previously and people were excited for them to get in, or if this was their first time up for induction and everyone was excited because they have a great fan base, or if part of the excitement was also because prior to the announcement at this event, no one knew whether they would get in this yesr",

">the guy asking the questions has no idea what he's talking about and just sees 500b and doesn't understand anything Bernanke said.he thinks he found a smoking gun but in reality thats just how shit works.\n\nThis was Alan Grayson. He's doing politics. He spells out what he's doing when he asks if this money would have been better served being loaned to the American people. Grayson's positions at the time he held office ('09-'17 w/ a gap in '12) were largely about domestic reforms and targeting fraud, waste, and abuse in government.\n\nThe purpose of this questioning was not to establish actual financial malfeasance, but to create a perception by which he could send a message that the government is no longer run by elected representatives, but by rogue agencies acting at the behest of major economic players, and that the power of the purse ought return directly to congress so that it could be used to actually better the people who elect their representation.\n\nGrayson's highly educated, and is a good lawyer. He's just a politician, so Bernanke's answers, or the particulars on this issue don't really matter to Grayson, because it fits a preconceived narrative he's attempting to exploit here to garner popular support.\n\nAlso, I should mention, if it sounds like I'm apologizing for him and attacking him at the same time, it's because I agree with his premise and most of his stances, but dislike the tactics that our political system requires in order to make things happen.",
"You're correct, and I want to give a more relatable example about how numbers can be misrepresented. During the bailout, 15 trilion dollars was given to banks in the form of repurchase agreements. Many many news headlines said that 15 trillion dollars was \"given\" to banks. That is a hugely misleading statement.\n\nYou can argue that the fed shouldn't exist, and you can argue monetary policy within the operation of the fed. But this type of coordination, swaps, and lending is mostly benign. There is some shady stuff our economic system does, to be sure, but this video outlines none of those things.",

"this video does nothing to benefit either side of the central bank argument in america. literally useless.",
"I'm guessing the key was the nominal exchange rate.Maybe the questioner is implying that swapping that much currency to a foreign currency was involved with the US dollar's devaluation. The responder said that the foreign central banks were \"short dollars.\" Maybe making the dollar more available to foreign countries (while making their currency less available, because they did a swap) reduced the value of the dollar by increasing it's supply?That seems overly simple, but it's my best guess!\n\nAlso, the questioner mentions that these dollars could be lent to US citizens instead (at low interest rates). The responder said that they already *were* doing that, and that this lending to foreign banks was to stabilize the *global* market. However, the questioner may be implying that they were profiting from lending to foreigners when they could have been (likely for less profit) lending more money to US citizens, and that the congress should be given some oversight authority on such large transactions to preserve the interests of the citizens as a whole.\n\nEDIT: I just read [Jar Jar's comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/rndnea/comment/hps3dch/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and they seem to understand a lot more about the situation!",

"Appreciate the insight. I do think it's a legitimate question, though, as to whether or not it makes more sense to be extending this credit to US banks (Bernanke says they already do, but of course extending even more would mean more credit available to US citizens) rather than helping foreign governments. And Grayson made a legitimate point when Bernanke tried to say this is a long-standing power that isn't part of an emergency declaration and he pointed out that they never did this before the financial crisis, a crisis long since passed. Ultimately it's encouraging an export-based economy, where the US is helping foreigners buy US made goods, at a time when it could be argued that US consumers could use that help instead, even if it meant risking exports to another country on unsound financial footing.\n\nThere's also no oversight into what these other central banks choose to lend their money for. If New Zealand winds up following a risky financial policy of excessive credit lending that winds up crashing their economy, our currency swaps fall in value, don't they? That part I'm not sure of, but it seems likely that we're either left holding the bag or the foreign central banks will get some of that debt forgiven in the next crisis.",

The goal is not to give a handout to those foreign countries but to ensure that US interest rates remain low by preventing a run on the US dollar. It's not a handout to those foreign banks; the loans provided by the Federal Reserve must be paid back with interest.\n\nFor the Federal Reserve to have offered the same service to private citizens, they'd be offering to temporarily swap your foreign-denominated bonds for US dollars.

That would be a huge boon to our economy. \n\n> The responder said that the foreign central banks were \"short dollars.\" Maybe making the dollar more available to foreign countries (while making their currency less available, because they did a swap) reduced the value of the dollar by increasing it's supply?That seems overly simple, but it's my best guess!\n\nNo, what's happening here is that foreign countries - entire countries with financial systems regulated by their respective banks - were short OF dollars. Not short in the financial transaction sense of short-selling. \n\nWhat happens when foreign countries are short of dollars that they need, is that their financial systems freeze up due to liquidity constraints. Companies can't get the money they need, and can't pay for or buy things without paying exorbitant, destructive prices. That in turn leads to major downturns in global markets, which in turn resound and come back to our shores. \n\nThe US central bank has an excess of dollars, by entering these swap agreements, they simply make sure there is no artificial constraint on the money supply globally that leads to unnecessary global market turmoil that the US central bank can otherwise easily solve. \n\nTake an example... The vast majority of all trade between all countries is settled in dollars. If you, a manufacturer in Japan are trying to buy raw materials from Vietnam, you need to pay them in dollars. You can't use Japanese currency to settle that trade - even though the Bank of Japan has an excess of JPY. But if everyone is hoarding dollars, such that there's a shortage of them in Japan, you now can't settle that deal or have to pay absurd exchange rates for a huge loss, preventing you in turn from producing in your factory and causing economic damage. \n\nThe US central bank in this scenario is trading what they have an excess of - USD - for what the central bank of Japan has an excess of - JPY - so that the above unnecessary scenario doesn't happen. \n\n> Also, the questioner mentions that these dollars could be lent to US citizens instead (at low interest rates)\n\nThey're not being lent to these foreign countries. They're being trade in a one-to-one deal. They Get X$, we get X$ in JPY for example. \n\nAdditionally, the central bank ALREADY had HUGE, ENORMOUS low and zero interest lending programs for US citizens and businesses. It's a moot issue. \n\n> However, the questioner may be implying that they were profiting from lending to foreigners when they could have been (likely for less profit) lending more money to US citizens, and that the congress should be given some oversight authority on such large transactions to preserve the interests of the citizens as a whole.\n\nThe extreme lack of financial understanding exhibited by this congressman is exactly why the independence of the Fed is so incredibly critical. They have no fucking idea what they're doing and their decisions are utterly determined by partisanship.",
"This is why idiot congressmen should educate themselves instead of misleading the public. \n\n> Other central banks wanted to borrow dollars \n\nOther central banks weren't borrowing money in these swap agreements. That's not what a swap is. No money was borrowed. \n\n> which would drive up the interest rate so the fed lend\n\nFirst of all, that's now how interest rates are determined. Second, that's not how interest rate dynamics work. More demand for a currency does not increase domestic interest rates. \n\nIn fact, the opposite is generally true. When demand for a currency and its bonds and treasuries rise, interest rates FALL. \n\nThird, interest rates are INTENTIONALLY low. We want them low - that's expansionary monetary policy, that's good for the economy in a downturn. There are numerous well understood mechanisms that intentionally influence US interest rates - we know what they are. This swap discussion is a useless and almost entirely irrelevant distraction from the point. \n\nYou've not illustrated how this keeps interest rates low or why that's costly. That's not how interest rates are kept low and low interest rates are good in context.",
"> And that also is what that YT channel is trying to do - get people stirred up over something that has been standard procedure for decades and isn't a problem. No change is needed, other than maybe needing new politicians.\n\nThe problem is that it's misinformation.

"> His questions were about why $500 billion was going to foreign countries, \n\n$500B wasn't going to foreign countries. It's a swap. We got $500B in assets.\n\n> instead of to Americans.\n\nThere were many, huge, unprecedented in scale financial easing programs for Americans by the US central bank. Arguably way too much. \n\n> If the $500 billion wasn't being sent out to other countries then he could have $40 billion for spending locally, and still have $460 billion left over for other local projects.\n\nFirst, $500B wasn't sent away, nothing was lost or lent. \n\nSecond, central bank swap agreements for US dollars are CRITICAL to the continued functioning of global financial and trade markets. Those markets deeply affect our own - it influences for example whether companies in other countries can buy and sell US goods and services. These swap agreements were just as much in the US's own interest as they were in the interests of these other countreis. \n\n> but it is also literally his job to criticize one form of spending money, so that the money can be spent elsewhere instead. \n\nIt's not spending, nothing was spent. He has no idea what he's talking about. \n\nAnd this is exactly why these people shouldn't be in charge of the day-to-day decisions of the Fed. They are so incredibly unequipped to understand the decisions the Fed needs to make and so driven by partisan or incorrect motivations.",
"> organization (The Federal Reserve) for its questionable practices over time.\n\nWhat questionable financial practices?",
"Thanks for that. Can you ELI5 why we do this? They mentioned controlling interest rates in the global market?",
"Yeah, it shows a poor understanding of how central banks operate.\n\nIt's wrong to treat it as a zero-sum game where if the central bank wasn't running currency swaps it would be lending money to US citizens. Those are two separate policy programs with different motivations, and it's not nearly as simple as \"if the pile of money was not *there*, it would be *here* instead\" which is basically what the congressman is implying.",
"> Asking why weren’t they lending more money to US citizens and not the foreign banks is a legitimate concern.\n\nFirst, they weren't lending to foreign banks. This was a swap, a 1-to-1 transaction. \n\nSecond, there were HUGE, unprecedented in scale easing and financial programs from the Fed for US citizens - arguably way too much. They WERE lending to US citizens - effectively at zero rate.\n\nThird, these swap programs unfreeze and ensure the continued functioning and flow of global financial and trade markets. Why do you think that doesn't affect the US? If global markets collapse, so does the US market. The Fed is in the position to solve a very tactical and otherwise unnecessary problem that if unsolved would have severe consequences not only for global markets, but also for US markets. \n\n> banks got money at 0% interest from the Fed but were then lending it out to citizens for profit.\n\nBanks don't get to fund any lending from what they borrow from the Fed. What the Fed lends to banks is liquidity - their job is to make sure that banks don't run into short term liquidity issues that result in unnecessary collapses or curtailing of US bank lending. \n\nThe Fed funds rate - the rate typically discussed and relevant here, isn't even a rate for borrowing from the fed. That's INTERBANK lending. \n\nAdditionally, the Fed does not have the mechanisms or tools to lend to the general public for any rates - that's what banks and their huge infrastructures are for. The Fed charging charging banks lower fees for their services / pushing down interbank rates is exactly the mechanism by which they lower rates for you - the consumer and citizen.\n\nThat's why pop policy like that peddled by Stewart can be bad. You're left with an incorrect impression because you ahve no idea what's going on.",

"You did - effectively. \n\nThe Fed entered a swap agreement with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. That's not a loan, it's just an agreement to provide US dollars (which the US CB has an abundance of and which foreign markets like NZ lack) for NZD (which the RBNZ has an abundance of) in order to ensure companies can continue trading, settling, and making critical financial transactions in US dollars.\n\nOr you would have, I wouldn't be surprised if they never activated their line. But the existence of the line is still very important.",

Fuel prices and building material prices rose over 250% while corporations awarded CEO’s their biggest bonuses. \n\nInterest rates and other everyday policy decisions led to growing wealth inequality and divided labor classes.

">Asking why weren’t they lending more money to US citizens and not the foreign banks is a legitimate concern. \n\nThe two things are not that connected from a policy perspective. The decisions about domestic operations are going to be looking chiefly at domestic factors (it's not like the Fed is going to discover \"woops we've given all our money away to the ECB without realizing and now our hands are tied domestically\"). \n\n>There’s a good Daily Show clip with Jon Stewart ranting about how the banks got money at 0% interest from the Fed but were then lending it out to citizens for profit.\n\nThis highlights one way that it's a bad question in the first place. \n\nIf the central bank is already lending at low interest rates to the banks, and the banks are not passing that on to citizens the way that you want, then *why ask the central bank to give even lower interest rates to the banks*?",

"That was intense. I don’t think this is the first time he’s jumped from a crashing plane.",
"Wow. That was really interesting and also right in the Nevada Triangle it seems.",
"I've never flown with a parachute before and most small planes are too cramped inside to wear one during the flight. Its very rare to need one in the first place because the majority of accidents/engine failures happen during takeoffs and landings where there isn't time or altitude enough to use it. The emergency equipment I've carried instead was some food/water, lighter, knife, mirror, etc... because I figure I'd probably have the rest of my life to wish I brought them anyways.",
"If guy can wear his chute in a 1940 2 seater, I don't see how it can't be manageable in most planes. I'm not a pilot, though. I'd hope this is a rare instance, but, I'd rather have a chute, and take my chances. If I can get a chute with my beef sticks, and a bottle of water. I'll take that for sure.",
"Throwing a chute in the backseat is possible and if you can get it on in an emergency then that works I suppose. But from my own experience in two to four seat Cessnas and Pipers, it can be pretty tight with two guys shoulder to shoulder.",
"What are the chances this was on purpose? I don't know the first thing about the guy or his channel but the fact he was flying an ancient shitty plane that someone in the comments said was from the 1940s over the mountains with cameras including one on the wing showing the cockpit and the fact he was already wearing the parachute seem a tad sketchy to me. Also why didn't he spread the ashes when he was at the crash the first time?\n\nI know I am cynical but a quick look at this other videos just makes it seem like this fits right in with his extreme sports vibe. Also a video where he dumps his dead buddy's ashes from the plane sounds boring as shit. The fact he was ready to film himself while parachuting with a selfie stick, that he filmed his own plane crashing and that he traveled to his plane wreck first just all seem sus. I mean why would he need selfie stick inside a plane?\n\n**Edit:** I reported his dumb ass to the FAA and for dumping, only took 5 minutes.\n\n**Edit 2:** [Seems the FAA is now investigating and will issue a response to the inquiry on Monday.](https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/plane-crash-video-sparks-online-backlash/)",
"anyone else getting a \"faked\" feeling.... i dont mean the whole thing, i just think he planned to jump out of the plane.... i mean tail cam...wing cam, first part shows plenty of options to circle around at his altitude... soon as the engine \"cut\" the door was open and he's prepping like it was the plan from the start...",
"That makes some sense I didn't watch the entire thing and skipped over large bits but I am not sure if I am just too jaded or if everyone else isn't jaded enough.",
"Yep that’s all I thought…. Didn’t see any attempt to restart the engine or troubleshoot. No mayday call. No radio calls at all.",
"My thoughts exactly. “I didn’t know if I would have the courage to share this video but I want other pilots to learn from my experience”?! Come on, the dude was clearly worried about getting this whole spectacle on like 3 different, perfectly placed cameras. And the way he talks during the whole thing feels super contrived. I don’t feel bad about calling bullshit on this guy.",
"Yeah I saw that, how can he be so brave?",
"I believe it, Ive flown with friends, and we never had chutes. I didn't even know it was an option until this video, lol. But, I don't think I will every fly again without a chute on. gonna make some beefstick/cheesestick straps on my chute, plus a water filter.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nedit: I've been fooled, But im still bringing extra cheesesticks on my next flight.",
"Feels extremely staged. Why would you freefall that long if you're over inhospitable terrain? You think you would deploy your chute as quickly as possible and use the increased hang time to glide toward civilization. Its also weird he never even attempts to restart the engine.",
"someone should download a copy of the video before he takes it down because it looks fake as hell",
"Thats my biggest red flag. He makes no attempt at all to restart the engine. Almost as if he intentionally ran it out of fuel or just shut it off. He also miraculously managed to recover all of the footage from the cameras. Even the one you see ejected from the plane on impact. Which is either unbelievably lucky, or because he had Airtags on them so he could use his phone to find them as soon as he reached the vicinity of the crash site.",
"\"I always fly with a parachute\" I mean if you *were* going to stage it this is the perfect line.",
"Shame an 80 year old airplane had to give its life so this guy could try and farm views on Youtube.",
"damn, I was definitely wondering why he had all the cams at perfect angle, but I just figured that was how these things went.. I had a feeling I was being played though. I also wondered why he didn't try and fire the engine\n\n&#x200B;\n\nBut, thankfully it was all captured on the internet, so it's 100% real",
"I got that vibe, doesn't mean it was faked but I got that feeling watching it. Would be one way to become famous, idk how common tail and wing cams are, if he never used them then suddenly started using them shortly before crashing then that'd be highly suspect.\n\nWould have to ask a skydiver what the minimum recommended altitude is for bailing and what altitude it looks like he's at.",
"If this is fake, the FAA will probably take away his pilot's license for this stunt. If he really was planning on jumping I would expect him to have some goggles or glasses, he almost died or blinded himself on the landing. It's possible he cut out the parts with mayday calls and restart attempts.\n\nedit: It appears he did not radio anyone from the plane, as he complains about 911 not working in remote areas. Maybe he was out of range?\n\nAlso, is this plane registered? I don't see a tail number. Did he file a flight plan? Lots of weirdness here.",
"Aircraft radios are not cellphones.",
"Probably want to get as far away from the plane as possible before doing that. The plane can spiral with lift for a long time",
"I saw the title and the cynic in me immediately thought the same. \n\nA youtuber with big enough of a following to have some sponsor; the whole setup. \n\nBut haven't watched the whole thing yet.",
"Also, according to a comment over on Youtube from another pilot/skydiver, the parachute he's wearing is a big bulky skydiving rig. Not the smaller, more comfortable emergency pilot's chute he would probably be wearing if he was actually just being cautious.",
"Pilot of 20+ years here. 1 partial engine failure. 1 full engine failure. The last thing on your mind is a damn selfie stick. FAA needs to pull this asshole's license before he kills someone.",
"It leads me to believe that he did not reach anyone on his VHF. If he was able to radio a mayday authorities would have been looking for him.",
"He says in the video (when he is found by the farmers) that the plane spun toward him after he jumped. He also seems to be looking up at the plane during free fall.",
"I thought this at first until I saw the apparently horrible situation he found himself in once he reached the ground (no water in what seems to be an arid climate, horrible hiking conditions with difficult topography and poison oak, no cell phone service, etc.).\n\nIt might be fake but I figure there'd be easier places to fake it.",

"Theres a small grass runway a few miles from my house so we get a lot of small planes flying over. One summer when I was working in my yard one of those little planes was buzzing over. A sound so familiar I didnt even notice it. What I did notice however was when that sound suddenly stopped. I looked up to see the plane just silently gliding there, the nose came up a bit (to slow the descent I assume) and a few seconds later the engine fired back up and it proceeded on its course. When I heard that engine stop all the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I broke out in a cold sweat despite being safe on the ground and a fair distance to the west of the flight path. I cant even imagine how it must feel for the people up there. I know this though, shooting a Youtube video would not be at the top of my checklist.",

There's also no avionics, most guys with these old birds will use a Garmin portable GPS, an ICOM handheld comm radio and portable intercom, plus a 12-volt, 7-amp battery.\n\nHere is the start-up procedure for one of these old ladies:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfG5D1lz3WY \n\nHowever... they have a stall speed of around 40-45MPH, a very survivable plane if you glide it down to something relatively flat. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRudh0DK580\n\nAll that being said, it does seem suspicious considering \"I always fly with a parachute\" ...yet here is his *2 months earlier* video in another plane. And no parachute. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMrwPPMTCmM\n\nHard to say if it's set up, the prop was seized for a minute or more and then started to freewheel a while after he bailed out. I guess bailing out of a $30k plane could be worth it if you go viral though?",
">I don't know the first thing about the guy or his channel\n\nThis is why he did it.",
"Jesus fucking christ. Just looking at the titles of his youtube videos. \n\nWhat an attention whore. I'd bet a 1.000 € that this is staged.",
"\"No suitable place to land\" \n5:07 mark in video shows what looks like an ideal place to try to stage a landing. \n\n\nI think dude just wanted to jump out a plane and claim the views.",
"The thing that bothers me the most and really leads me to believe this whole thing was staged is the fact that he's supposedly on his way to scatter his friends ashes and OMG DRAMA! NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE! Its all a little too convenient.",
"Thats one of the things a lot of the pilots in the comments section are calling him out for as well. The dry riverbed he probably could have glided to a landing on. This is however, the one thing I will give him a bit of wiggle room on. I think I would have a hard time choosing even a low speed unpowered landing over a parachute descent. I'm probably wrong, but it feels less dangerous somehow.",
"Potentially, but given that [75%](https://slate.com/human-interest/2017/03/how-much-of-a-pilots-training-is-emergency-landing-practices.html) of flight training is said to be landing, including what sounds to be many, many hours of emergency landings....I'm still leaning more to the side that this guy just wanted the clout of \"I escaped a crashing plane\"",
"Oh, I 100% agree with you. This guy is so full of shit he probably over-fertilized every plant he walked near on his little hiking trip.",
"Another thing that is kind of bugging me....but with this kind of video.....why would you keep the sponsorship aspect of it? I mean, he even tagged it ON the video description.",
"Skydiver here. He was wearing a sport rig.. complete with a main parachute and reserve.. very very uncomfortable to fly with or sit with.. impossible he flys with that regularly.. pilots use flat packed emergency chutes, which this wasn’t.. he violated so damn many FAA and USPA regulations it’s not even funny. This dude is fucked",
"Yeah, it reeks of bullshit.",
"On the FAA safety hotline form it says this:\n\n\"*NOTE: We will not accept a report with just a link(s) to a video(s) without supporting information. Simply sending a link to a social media site and stating a violation has occurred is not sufficient to take further action. Please note, even if a violation has occurred, federal rules of evidence severely limit the use of a video on a social media site as evidence unless the operator admits to taking the video or there is a witness who saw the alleged violation take place.\"\n\nHopefully the extra information I provided and the fact he used a selfie stick are enough to get past this bullshit. I also sent an email to report this guy for dumping.",
"Having flown in small aircraft (Cessna 172/182) and knowing many small aircraft pilots, I don’t know a single one that flys with a parachute. Not a single one straps a parachute to their back before going flying.",
"It is a STOL airplane. It can land on a credit card. The landing speed is probably not more than brisk waling speed.",
"\"I'm walking, I'm continuing to walk towards the cow.\"",
"That looks like it might be classified as an experimental aircraft. Are tail numbers required on those?",
"> \"I always fly with a parachute\" I mean if you were going to stage it this is the perfect line.\n\nYep, and YET there are other YouTube videos of him flying... and in NONE of them does he have a parachute on.",
"Yes.",
">It is a STOL airplane.\n\nI had to look up what that was. It stands for Short Takeoff and Landing. \n\nJust to save everyone from either asking you to explain yourself or from taking the time to look it up.",
"Its also not an experimental plane.Its a 1940 Taylorcraft. An antique.",
"Hey guys im up here gonna spread my good buddies ashes... AND THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY RIDGE WALLETS!",
"Reason... those planes have insane glide range and very forgiving stall envelope. You can land them almost anywhere like that pretty flat dry river bed he was walking on.",
"He wants other pilots to learn from this... don't even do a checklist, make mayday call, or look for landing area... brought to you by ridge wallet.",
"an emergency chute is much smaller than a full sport rig with its own emergency chute. Sport chutes are very uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time."

"My dad spent years building layouts. At first it was all N scale Fleischmann but the problem with N scale was the constant battle to keep the tracks dust free. At one house, he had one layout that filled a double garage and he could run 20 or so at the same time. \n\nLater, he got rid of it all and started with HO as he claimed it was better. And then they started bringing out engines that had little chips in them to control them (dcc I think it was called).\n\nOne thing I could remember was they were all terribly expensive to import from Germany as the exchange rate from deutsch mark to Australian Dollar was awful.\n\nWhen he turned 70 (or so) he started losing interest in modelling as it was getting hard for him to do so I built him a computer and he started playing with Trainz. Still today, he can quite happily spend hour after hour on Trainz.\n\nAnd when he's not in front of his computer, he's plopped onto the couch and watching train videos on Youtube on the TV. \n\n&#x200B;\n\nI'll share this channel with him... he's always interested in these types of videos. :)",

">Should've introdiced him to 60 fps too.\n\nIt's the shutterspeed, not so much the framerate. \n\nHe had the camera on auto (it was the first video he made after he got a new camcorder). I noticed the issue as well when he uploaded it, but yeah, can't change it afterwards of course 😔\n\nFor future videos (and in earlier videos) it is not present.\n\nAlso as he lives in Germany (as do I) he needs to do 50fps (PAL) due to the AC frequency.",

"TL:DR: https://youtu.be/uzP8FFKpwQ0\n\n> What the fuck are you talking about?\n\nThe way you worded your question it somehow sounds like bait, but I will tell you what the fuck I am talkong about anyways:\n\nIn the world there are two AC frequencies used for power grids, 60Hz and 50Hz.\n\nMeaning an incandecend bulb will become bright and almost go out (the wire will still be hot [and glow for a short fraction of time](https://youtu.be/ZlmMaJB7Rmc)even when there is no power running trough it).\n\nTherefore lights powered by AC will flicker constantly (peak brightness is achieved twice per frequency as it is a sine wave), but humans don't percieve this flicker. The lightbulb just looks \"on\" constantly.\n\nFor consumer grade video cameras this creates a problem as they have so called \"rolling shutter\" sensors, meaning the information is read from them line by line from top to bottom.\n\nAs long as your framerate matches the AC frequency, every line is read out in sync to the same line in the previous image and therefore shows the same brightness and the video looks consistant troughout.\n\nIf there is a mismatch between the AC frequency and the framerate, the lines will be read out while being out of sync of the lines of the previous image. You will have \"bars\" of varying brightness being slightly off their position they were in the previous image. You will see bands running up or down your footage.\n\nWhile this is not so much an issue with LED lights as they use DC (or rather rectified AC unless powered of a battery), if you use your camera outside the \"studio\" with such lights, you should switch to PAL in countries with 50Hz AC powergrid frequency and NTSC in countries where the AC frequency is 60Hz.",

"FAA is gonna have a go at this mans ass. This is staged and they will absolutely figure it out. He screwed himself",
"How do you know it was staged? Was there something specific he did?",
"Pilots have a looong list of steps they take in emergencies. Most of these lists don't typically include, \"Jump from airplane\" at any position; and they certainly don't list it as the first option. \nThey also don't fly with a full parachute on. Those things are bulky and uncomfortable. They make smaller chutes called \"pilot chutes\" that will still likely save the life of anyone falling, but don't take up quite the same space. \n\nThis dude did nothing to try to restart, emergency land, or even to try to controlled crash before he jumped. This was either completely intentional (it absolutely was) or just incredibly negligent (it was). Probably both (this is the one).",
"Dude has a bunch of videos in a far nicer airplane, why fly a Taylorcraft when you have a more capable plane?\n\nWho the fuck flies around with a sport skydiving setup? I \ndidn’t look too hard but I highly doubt he’s flying around with it on in his other videos\n\nDoor is cracked open before engine shutdown\n\nNo ELT\n\nDude didn’t land on the nice creekbed not far from where the plane lands, which he totally could have landed on an saved the plane\n\nJust too many suspect things this guy does.\n\nIf you want to protect yourself in a crash, GET A HARNESS, and wear a fucking helmet.",
"The first suspicious thing I noticed was that the airplane did not have tail numbers (aircraft registration). This is a legal requirement. For more information check out this wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_registration\n\n\nNext, prior to the engine stopping, there was video footage showing the pilot and the interior of cockpit. At the moment the engine stopped, the video footage only shows the exterior of the airplane. It seems like the video footage of edited to not show him turning off the engine. \n\nVideo footage does not show him making any radio distress calls to air traffic controllers.",
"Was going to say, I'm not sure on the laws, but deliberately crashing an aircraft can't be good. As you said, dude did nothing to follow any emergency procedures, and clearly planned to do this from the beginning, hence the chute he wore, at least that's the logical conclusion.\n\nThe best part is he filmed it, with the most unconvincing \"Oh gee look, my engine's out, what a shame\". I would have to imagine insurance certainly won't touch this, and I guess legal issues will remain to be seen. I'd have to guess the NTSB would have to technically come to their conclusion on why the crash happened before any major decisions are made?\n\nEdit: Assuming this isn't a reupload, I'm surprised the dude hasn't taken the video down yet. I can't imagine how many people have told him \"Yeah, having evidence of you doing stupid shit freely online isn't the best idea\", but it's possible he just doesn't get it, or thinks what he did was perfectly acceptable and legal. I'd guess that'd be the first thing a lawyer will tell him, take the video down.\n\nAlso laughed at \"I'm not trying to just sell you a product\", meanwhile \"Sponsered by X, here's my link/code\" in the details, all in this video as well.",
"It makes way more sense if you watch his other videos. Trevor Jacob has found himself in some really sketchy and scary situations flying in his little plane. Not only has he almost gotten killed *in that exact plane* but he was flying in wingsuits with a friend when his friend clipped something and died\n\nSo he has had a lot of near death experiences so I don’t think he did this intentionally. I really don’t think a plane that is classified as experimental to get around more rules would have checklists like how a mass produced people hauling airplane would like a 747. Is it possible he could have done this to be done with the plane and maybe collect insurance on it? Sure. But at this point in his life I sincerely doubt he’d do something so dumb and risky on purpose",
"I think with his plane being classed as “experimental” he may not have the same requirements \n\nAnd, if you’re super far from any airports air traffic control isn’t gonna really help you out if you believe you’re in a life or death situation. It would be helpful to tell them so they can send emergency services but it’s not like they can help if your planes engine dies and youre falling out of the sky so it wouldn’t be my first priority either",
"This is the third time I've seen this video on this sub within 12 hours. Y'all bitching about a dude crashing a plane to go viral but keep sharing his video to help him go viral?\n\nI suggest consuming better content on YouTube like my awesome channel: https://youtube.com/c/WanderingBlock",

"\"I'm walking, I'm continuing to walk towards the cow.\"",

"I've heard people describe this scene as Mulan finding an alternate path to victory. The weights that were meant to slow her down, she instead uses to climb to the top.\n\nBut I've always thought this was the intended solution to an intentional puzzle. It's literally what he says when he introduces the challenge: \"This weight represents discipline, this one represents strength, without both, you will never reach the top\". It's a pretty good metaphor too. Discipline and strength, without the intelligence to direct that discipline towards the right kind of training or the right task, or without the cunning to apply that strength correctly, will achieve nothing or even weigh you down. But that metaphor only works if the puzzle was intentionally designed. If he had intended for them to just climb up while being weighed down, then what did he mean by all that bollocks about discipline and strength?",

"It's definitely a weaker metaphor that way. The weight doesn't represent strength really, if any thing it represents the burdens borne by the strong, and likewise the other would represent hard work that discipline lets you endure. It wouldn't have been hard to introduce that in a suitable way either. \"This weight represents the safety of the Chinese people, the burden that a soldier must have the strength to carry, while this one represents a life of struggle and duty, that a soldier must have the discipline to endure\". \n\nAt this point I really am overthinking it, since they almost certainly wrote the solution before they wrote the specific dialogue introducing the problem. But I still think interpreting it as an intentional puzzle shows a degree of creativity and intelligence on Li Shang's part that we're told of when he's introduced \"Number one in his class, extensive knowledge of training techniques\", but never really shown as much as his character deserves, and it allows him that extra consideration without taking anything away from Mulan; she did solve the puzzle either way.",

"It was done intentionally. It's uncertain whether the reason was because they didn't realize their live action story was absurd, or they had an ulterior motive to scrub the past narrative and normalize this story being told through a woke lens. I have reasons to suspect it's the latter.\n\nIf that sounds misogynistic or conspiratorial, it's not. I can't be the only person who noticed that the new Mulan is overpowered from the outset when it comes to every single one of her skills, right? It wasn't the story of a determined person bravely joining the army to save her aging father and people from almost certain death, and THEN having a character arc of learning to be a warrior and leader. Instead, she already was those things from TEACHING HERSELF in secret to be the best somehow, and THEN joined the ranks as the best warrior there apart from the veteran officers. I can't help but assume the message a person watching this would get is: \n\n\"The protagonist, who I am meant to relate to, was always a strong and competent person and has therefore already earned a seat at the table. And like myself, every obstacle I see Mulan face for the rest of the movie is the unfair status quo preventing her from having what she was always entitled to.\"\n\nThe adjective \"entitled\" is only a pejorative if you haven't actually earned what you're claiming you deserve. Loads of contemporary movie/tv characters fit the criteria for that label, and I don't think it's an accident that they're written as already being competent and powerful as soon as the movie starts. Because there are huge swathes of society who resent that they don't already have what they erroneously feel they've earned, and those people will easily gulp down the fantasy these films/shows are peddling.\n\nWith this new Mulan in particular, there were ZERO scenes where she wasn't better than every other cadet from day one in the army. She never had to actually rise above anyone who had advantages she didn't, or rise above her own inadequacies in any significant way. She could magic kick spears at people like a fuckin' jedi and literally no one else could do that, not even her commanders. In other words, she's intrinsically better than everyone else. Even the villain wasn't difficult for her. She didn't sacrifice anything to defeat him other than the part of her that the family sword represented, and even then that metaphorical part of her was given back to her in the end when she's presented with a new sword. The reality is that she was handed everything by writers who are themselves lazy/incompetent or they were trying to appeal to the audience of people who think they should just be given what they feel they've already earned, or both.",

The musical numbers in all the Renaissance movies aren't just songs, they're key story beats, which is why all of live action Disney remakes cant just cut them from the movies.

"I LOVE Lilo and Stich, in large part because of how culturally sensitive the directors of the film were to Hawaiian culture when making it. During the song that plays during the opening sequence on Earth, He Mele No Lilo, we see hula dancers and Ipu players playing in time with the music, implying that the song is diagetic. But more importantly, the dance move the Hula girls are doing are accurate. The team had a group go down to Hawaii, have hula dancers perform traditional Hula dances, and then had their animators draw out the movements they saw. Both He Mele No Lilo and Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride were also sung by actual Hawaiian singers and a childrens chior, and the main actors were Hawaiian. \n\nMy favorite moment though has to be when Nani is singing Aloha 'Oe to Lilo. For those who don't know, Aloha 'Oe is a very important song to the Hawaiian people. It was written by Queen Liliʻuokalani, the only female regnant and the last monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom before it was absorbed into the United States, and it translates to \"Farewell to the.\" The song became a symbol for the loss of her country, and it was sung at her funeral. In the scene where Nani sings it, she thinks that she' going to lose Lilo, so she says goodbye to her in the most Hawaiian way possible. \n\nAnd letting my musical theater nerd show for a moment, it also does a really great job at other things, like showing the efficacy of having a character sing in a native tongue instead of plain English, which Disney uses in quite a few other movies, and serves to anchor the audience in an authentic Hawaiian landscape because of the fact that it's an actual real life song, and not just one they made for the movie. It's kind of the musical equivalent of having an establishing shot of the Eiffel Tower to show that a movie takes place in Paris.",
"Really sexist tho.",
"Ok so, I'm not trying to knock something you like here, but the fact of the matter is is that Tarzan ended the Disney Renaissance, and it is in large part because of this song. I'm not knocking Phil Collins AT ALL, but this was supposed to be Tarzan's \"I Want\" song, and he doesn't sing. There's very little actual singing in Tarzan, as in very little where the characters on screen are singing the music. It's what made the movie not connect with audiences as well as the other Renaissance movies, and that's not a knock on the music, it's the fault of the directors for wanting to take the movie in a more serious direction.",

Hence why an almost shot for shot remake of the Lion King brought in so much.\n\nDisney, and the rest of the industry, is no longer able to convince people that animated movies are for more than kids. Princess and the Frog was a desperate attempt to bring it back, and it didn't work. They advertised the hell out of it, but it just didn't work out.\n\nThe depressing thing is that Audience tastes have changed and 2d animation is not going to appear in cinemas for quite a while.

"Probably mildly terrifying if they were approaching you.",
"And extremely terrifying if they're running at you.",
"Charisma.",
"It should be illegal to hunt elephants. Change my view.",
"That's not just their favorite person, they're treating him as he is part of their herd and he goes away for a time. That's pretty powerful stuff.",
"What about elder alphas that are ~~more of a~~ large risk to their herd?",
"How much extra do you gotta pay to not have hippos grazing next to your tent?",
"Mother nature sorts that out.",
"What about them indeed?",
"20,000 pounds running towards you and you welcome it. Human confidence is amazing.",
"LMAO same quote was running thu my mind. Those characters have such a great arc/development in that movie.",
"You would if you could.",
"Great quote",
"Laying off hands?",
"Have you tried becoming the main attraction at a zoo?",
"I'm talking about those that are a high risk to their herd.",
"So let me get this straight, you rather would:\n\n* protect these sterile animals which eventually stagnate their herd as they become aggressive to other males trying to mate with \"his\" females (this is possessive as the alpha is the shot caller in a herd)\n* allow zero reinforcement or aid to those that combat poaching\n* allow these dangerous, elderly animals to grow delirious to the extent of posing a threat to humans\n\nWhile a simple, legal hunt can:\n\n* allow the legal harvest of the aged animal\n* fees go directly to the enforcement and protection of the herd\n* following harvest, carcass is donated to needy tribes or villages\n* herds decide on a new younger alpha that make the herd flourish with new offspring\n\n\nStatistics show the method works. Have you ever tended to or know of what a bonsai tree requires when it needs a trimming or replanting? In a way, it's similar. However one is a tree and one is an animal. That aside, the concept of trimming the tree applies to trimming the herd. The tree survives and grows greater than before, with the proper care of course.",
"Polar bears, Australia, Hippos are among the critters that are “That’s gonna be a no from me dog”.\n\nMaybe a pack of wolves on tundra. For sure though hippos are better on camera.",
"I'd rather there be more habitat conservation than killing an animal. The species evolved with those bulls doing that. The only ecological reason that you're saying it's fair to shoot those guys is indirectly because of habitat destruction and poaching. Protect more habitat and put more resources into stopping poachers and the notion that it'd be good to shoot an elephant goes out the window.",
"Its ok if you don't understand the point I was trying to make, would have been simpler and quicker to state only that.",
"A beautiful but terrifying reunion, lot of momentum and tusk is they don't remember you!",
"I have a Master's degree in biology, and ecology was my speciality, actually. You're blocked for trolling. \n\nI *bet money* that you're going to make a snarky, trolling remark in reply to this. That's why I'll never see it. My time is too important. Fuck your trolling.",
"Something about this just seems so unreal and dreamlike.",

"Mother nature sorts that out.",
"Tbh, I’d probably cry with awe and happiness",
"I wad truly just being dramatic. Hyenas on the savanna are maybe a actual scary thing. Also maybe I dont know like Russian wolves. In the lower 48 they got wiped out until fairly recently. I’ve only seen them magnified in the same area",

"I was listening to something. A girl went out with an older man on safari and they slept outside on the ground. When they awoke she wondered about the dinner plate markings on the ground all around them. The guy said those are elephant tracks, but don't worry they never step on people. \n\nI think the more impressive part is that elephants walking over them didn't wake them up.",
"Males dont live with the matriarchal herds. Having strong, older, and experienced male elephants helps teach the young ones and keep them in order. \n\nLater studies found that culling older males actually hurt the development of young males and authors proposed that it could have a profound effect on elephant culture. It was originally proposed culling old males would help, but some follow up studies have cast doubt on the original theory. The only real benefit it brings is money for the government, only a small fraction of which ends up going towards conservation.",
"Yes but he let himself get caught on camera, rookie move",
"The lodge we were at had some en suite chalets that cost about 30% more than the camping.",

"[There is no evidence that any major Christmas traditions were based on Roman pagan festivals](https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/rerff5/tis_the_season_for_bad_history_about_christianity/), all of it is pop history speculation.",
"All of history past a few hundred years ago is based on speculation, what’s your point?",
"that's just not true at all",
"Oh so you have a way to accurately verify accounts from people several hundred years ago? The best you can do is cross reference it with multiple accounts if any exist and use that information to form a speculative opinion. Even then that process is assuming the person providing the account isn’t misremembering the events or modifying them to suit their own agenda which happens quite often in history.",
"Yes, that cross referencing, accounting for bias, and confirming with known evidence is what historians do, that's a lot more than just speculation. We don't \"speculate\" that the American Revolution happened, for example, we have a plethora of ways of knowing it did and many of the details of it. This is true for most older examples as well.",
"You are referencing something that occurred within the timeframe I specifically mentioned in my original comment as still being fairly easily verifiable.

"> In situations where a lot of information is lost to the annals of time there is no choice but to speculate on certain events and fill in the gaps by inference. \n\nYou previously said \"all history\" before a few hundred years ago. Clearly not all history falls into this category. \"Speculation\" implies some level of conjecture without evidence, which is what the Roman Pagam claims are, something like Caesars Rebellion is not speculation or even based on it, we have hard evidence for and a pretty good understanding of events like this.",
"A great video, and yet, for all it gets right, it misses at least one obvious factoid it could've included and gets one item completely wrong.\n\n**THE FACTOID:** The only reason we believe there are three wise men is because three gifts are listed in Matthew's Gospel. The exact number of wise men is never specified, and varying Christian traditions over the past few centuries have put the number at anywhere from 3 to 12.\n\n**THE WRONG:** Going strictly by the text -- and I mean *all* the text, not just canon -- and leaving aside any question of whether or not he actually existed, Jesus did not stay in Egypt until he was an adult, as this video claims. He stayed until Herod died. Matthew (and the vast majority of the apocrypha) is clear on this, and Luke, while omitting the whole flight to Egypt thing, is not at all uncertain that Jesus spent his childhood in Palestine and even includes a pivotal trip to Jerusalem which foreshadows Jesus' future wisdom.\n\n(While I'm here collecting upvotes, the creator of this video also missed some of the possible nuances of the real story behind the mistranslation of \"no room at the inn.\" The creators of the biblical CAH knock-off A Game for Good Christians make a compelling case for rethinking that element of the nativity story in this [excerpt](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55a9a1e3e4b069b20edab1b0/t/5dfefb98b02a616945fb599f/1576991641903/RUL_Christmas.pdf) from their book *The Revised Uncommon Lectionary*.)",

"As interesting as this is, both sides can be right in their own way. This post is very much about the date (25th of December). So although that can be 'debunked', traditions of hanging mistletoes and such can still come from pagan influence, no? This post is really discussing something very different, which is the cynical idea that christmas was purposefully developed in a figh for religious power. This video just discusses where today's customs may come from, which is a very different discussion imo.",
"So? Them being not based in ROMAN traditions does not make it any less true that Christmas is pagan traditions sanctioned and adopted to a Christian holiday traditions. Unless you suddenly find St Nick and bringing a tree inside from the bible. And bible never says to celebrate it, there is no mention of it being a holy day. \n\n\nAnd the video that was linked is probably the least educational video i've seen in a long time, the rotating text is horrible, it is like it is designed to not leave anything in your head...

"He definitely looks a bit older, but his change between 50 and 74 is pretty minor, compared to your average person where it's massive during those years (or really any 24 year period).",
"Nah, after binge watching curb your enthusiasm and then going back to the first seasons you can very noticeable see that he has become an old man in the newer seasons",

"Clapton is a weasel, anti-vaxxer moron, who sues his fans. He's over.",
"You can be both",
"It's really sad, because of the squandering of it all, but that's really all he is anymore. One of the things about legacies-- you can destroy even great ones through acting like a jerk. Clapton destroyed his.",
"He’s not over because some kids on social media learned about him this week. Next week someone else will do something y’all forget and he will continue to not work for a living",
"I'm not trying to cancel him, I think he unintentionally canceled himself (ie, made himself irrelevant to the conversation) with his antics. That's unfortunate. Happy holidays 🎄",
"It looks like his guitar just disconnected from the strap. I think Clapton was able to get it together again.",
"The strap was just grossed out and trying to get away from Clapton.",
"Yeah the strap wasn't on correctly, it's folded upside-down",
"Stevie Ray Vaughan breaks a string and gets his entire guitar swapped while still singing and playing.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwiWEzg2uB8",
"I think about that \"only as good as your last performance\" mentality a lot, for somebody like Clapton I don't feel so bad because he really had to go out of his way to end up with the reputation he has. One person I think got a little screwed over by that mindset is Kathleen Kennedy, before Disney acquired Star Wars if you googled her name it would probably pop up with something like \"most successful female producer of all time\" but now the search result are more likely to be \"insiders speculate on Kennedy's replacement after series of underperforming films\". I guess at the end of the day she has pillows full of money to cry into, but it does kinda suck to be known for your failures when you also accomplished so much.",
"No one ever cares about the drummer or bassist",
"Some people deserve to be ridiculed and maybe even canceled for their actions. But to say that you aren't trying to cancel him is not true. You felt the need to bring up something related to him on a video just about him playing music. You obviously made that comment to point it out to others and make people aware. Maybe you are right to do that because he deserves it but you're clearly doing it.\n\nSomeone can't \"cancel\" themselves. They can be the reason they get canceled but the canceling by definition has to come from other people that choose to not associate with them or act a certain way toward them.\n\nEdit: not sure what I said could lead to someone downvoting. If someone had 100% of their audience as anti-vaxxers, they are going to not be cancelled over saying things against vaccinations. But if they said they realized they were great, they could be. And if 100% of your audience was pro-vaccine, you'd get the vice versa reaction. That clearly shows you can't cancel yourself. It takes the people supporting you or putting on your shows to cancel you.",
"There isn’t anything special about this. His strap comes of on the 11th bar of a 12 bar repeating pattern. Robertson comes in when it repeats and plays over 12 bars. Then Clapton comes back in when it repeats again. He was either going to come in there anyways or he saw Clapton’s strap come off and took over. Really not that big of a deal. This happens at every blues bar everywhere in the world every day.",
"I’ve had the same thing happen to me as\nwell when playing guitar, but I didn’t get downvoted for realizing it.",
"Because locking straps ain't very bluesy?",
"What crawled up your ass?"

They vote and go to city hall to protest bigger and denser building in their own neighborhood and since people that don't live in your city can't vote in your city, the people who are against building more win out over potential future votes that want more housing but don't exist yet.",

I remember there was this little kid (with sorta cringy content) that made it to the front page/ got a bunch of subs purely because reddit kind of made him a meme. That is pretty uncool because that kids intentions were to make it big, to get subs, and have a popular youtube channel. This dudes goal is to sing for people who'd like to listen to him sing, and to honor his wifes memory. I think this is the perfect content to share on reddit, and I also think some of y'all are overestimating the fragility of this guy. Old people kind of don't give a fuck, he's lived a lifetime with a successful career based on his passion, and with a long and loving relationship.

It's not entirely their fault they've been listening for the same bullshit for most part of their life plus it's not something you can change their view overnight.\n\nI just shrug and move on.

"Would that be worse than how it started off though? Like the algorithm probably didn't promote or even notice l it before anyways so it's like a net zero loss no?",
"No because again having 100 subs comes with having low views. Once you head over 10K subscribers you're considered silver so you have a certain amount of proportional watch time you have to hit with a certain amount of subscribers you have. Having a small amount of subscribers in a small amount of watch time is equal to each other you can grow. \n\nHaving an extremely large subscriber base and only a few views will work against you. Not only to the algorithm but also just to the average person will think you're a bot. With like 100 views 50k subs.",

"I still don't understand how it makes them worse off than not having blown up at all. With small subs/views the algorithm probably never picked them up anyways, so going back to that floor doesn't hurt anything.\n\nThe true people that were going to view that channel probably does so directly anyways and doesn't depend on the algorithm to get to that content. And they most likely don't care that it has high subs with little views.\n\nEh I dunno maybe I'm just looking too much into it. Thanks for trying to explain it though!",

I'm not getting mad, I'm simply not watching.\n\nUnless you think it's strange that I'm not a fan of listening to people like that, in which case I think it's really weird that it's not weird to you.",

"Fair enough man, you went out of your way to find something that annoys you on the internet. It's only fair you assassinate the old bastards character after he let you down by not being a fucking saint!",

"I know more than you I've been doing YouTube for literally 5 years me and my friends have been growing our channels forever I'm a thousand percent correct and you just don't understand this just accept that you're wrong and move on I've tried to explain it as best I can. \n\nIf you think it's so great start a YouTube account buy subs and views for a few videos then stop buying views and let me know how that works, I'm not arguing with you anymore.",

"Wtf? No one is disputing you lol. Just saying your explanation makes no sense to me...well cause it's not based on any eveidence. Best of luck on your YouTube career my man, meant no disrespect.",
"Haha I was waiting for the point when you proved that you're just upset people are held accountable. Sorry that other people are allowed to have opinions. If it upsets you this much, maybe don't post a comment searching for things that annoy you on the internet?",
"I'm not feeling disrespected but here man I'll give it one more try.\n\nWhen you have 50,000 subscribers your put into a category called silver they then expect you to have as much engagement and watch time as other channels with 50,000 subscribers. So if he gets as much engagement as somebody with 20,000 subscribers he's going to rank lower than other channels his size.\n\nNow if you have a thousand subscribers and you hit engagement of 20,000 subscriber the algorithm will show you way more. At 50,000 it won't show as much hence my comment of it being harder to grow and why all these channels die after they get a reddit bump. That's what I'm talking about when I say stops growth.",
"Man, you're not ever going to be in the right creeping an old dudes Facebook to get angry at his dated views. If you're too dense to get that I can't help you.",
"Not quite sure why you care if I click a link someone posted that shows he's bigoted. I'm not angry at him, I just will not watch his content. Also if you think, \"kill all gay people\" is simply dated and not something to avoid, I'm just assuming you're more upset it's not okay to be bigoted in public anymore. IDK man, you might need to get some help...",
"You're grasping at straws man. I don't think \"kill all gay people\" is an okay attitude. Answer this, by going and flaming this old man with bigoted views are you going to solve anything or change anyone's opinion? Or are you just participating in a self-righteous hate mob to make yourself feel good about yourself? Be honest, we both know the answer.\n\nI wouldn't watch his content either way, it's fucking awful.",
"sure lol. Im not flaming, just not watching his content. You're the one whose getting upset that I'm not watching him. I think we both know you're just making shit up now.\n\nAre you perhaps struggling with reading comprehension? Here I'll lay out the idea as best I can for you. I have not harassed him in any way shape or form. I heard he's incredibly bigoted and prefer not to believe things without verifying them. Thus, I double checked, then left, leaving no comment on his beliefs anywhere he can see it.\n\nUnless your problem is that I think he's an awful person in the confines of my own head, I'm pretty sure there's zero issue you can take with my actions. If you do take issue with that, you're a baby and you need to grow up. If you still do not understand, you're either intentionally being obtuse or you're still in middle school, either way I can't help you anymore."

But, as a tax payer, you end up paying anyway.",

Even a business collective that pitches in to rebuild a barn when one the members loses it is treated as a welcome story. \n\nFurthermore, is socialism not a voluntary choice of people who democratically choose it?\n\nThe biggest problem is that right wing disinformation has brainwashed people into thinking socialism is akin to authoritarianism. It's always linked to whichever is the boogeyman country of the day.",
"Exactly. Saving the poor boy with cancer by selling junk is more a less a non-newsworthy event in every other civilized nation because those countries have universal medicine and they just treat the boy with no questions and no fanfare. \n\n Oh, and for all those who love money (and thus *think* that means they live capitalism) they should love universal health care because it costs less than half of what our system does.\n\nInstead, you see the people who act most devoted to quote unquote capitalism are also those who most oppose universal health care.\n\nYou also see people taking pride in collective achievements, like national highway system, lightning fast and reliable mail service, powerful militaries, skilled federal crime solving services, etc. But ask them if they support collective achievements? \"Never!\"",

You end up living into pageantry more than what makes sense for real, living beings. And the farther you get away from your center - living authentically - confusion and stress increases by orders of magnitude, crippling your ability to live well and do what you hope to do.\n\nDo your best and let other people sort out being aware of what you are about. Expressing yourself authentically resonates naturally with others, and the consistency of your expression will inform them better than an act ever will. It’s very important to let others take responsibility.

">The one difference is charity is ran by private organizations while social programs are managed by the government.\n\nTo me, that difference between private and public is a big deal. It's voluntary to me, I'd still end up paying but I decide how much I put in. Recently, I donated to a young coworker with a terminal disease, I gave a lot of cash at least in my consideration. It's an amount that is significant to me and will be missed. However I felt that it was a worthwhile cause and I'm willing to take the hit, financially speaking.

"Democratic control over the means of production requires an authoritarian government?\n\nCare to explain?",
"My first point is that this « choice » isn’t really one with the current propaganda made around charities and « heartwarming stories ». The money lost in add to convince you that you’re making a good choice is often quite high. And, at the end, charities still have filters on who they help. A public program usually helps everyone.\n\nTo be fair though, I don’t think that everything needs to be ran by the government. I do think that we have a somewhat good balance in Quebec. Public healthcare, but most hospitals have charities attached to it to either help buying new equipment, or help families facing weird « edge case » like housing issues when dealing with cancer. Or schools that helps some poorer students with food during their semester, when they have some limitation and can’t work a part-time job.",

"Even if you go by that rule, there is no cabin thus he can not maintain any cabin pressure even if he wanted to.",
"The \"cabin pressure \" is talking about having a pressurized cabin or not on a fixed wing aircraft. When you are flying in a commercial plane, you are actually at a cabin pressure elevation of 7 to 8000 ft. But if you have a non commercial plane that isn't pressurized (most of them out there), you need supplemental oxygen to avoid the effects of hypoxia. [Here is an entertaining video explaining hypoxia and flying](https://youtu.be/kUfF2MTnqAw)",

"> Just because it's not spelled out, doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You like harming the GA/UL community to the public?\n\n1. Never said that anyone *should* operate an ultralight at 17,500ft without oxygen. Just merely pointed out that it's not explicitly prohibited under the FAR.\n\n2. I'm not \"harming\" the GA/UL community, just pointing out that you don't *technically* need oxygen to fly an ultralight at 17,500ft although doing so is most likely a bad idea.\n\nI'm also a general aviation pilot with a PPL btw :)",
"Never said it didn't! \n\nPointing out that 91.211 doesn't apply to operations under part 103 has no bearing on whether or not you can still get hypoxia, of course you can and it's why you probably shouldn't fly an ultralight at 17,500ft.",
"Good point. The 20-30 min is from the FAA docs. I don't know if they intentionally put excessively conservative numbers there.\n\nHowever I think this is something that can be trained/acclimatized to (to a certain extent) and the climbers surely did that. But 28k ft with physical activity sure is an entirely different league than hanging out in a fancy sleeping bag at 18k.\n\nThe FAA gives the average person 3 minutes of useful consciousness at 28k, without activity.",

"Pedantic",
"Most don't. If the engine fails he can glide to safety.\n\nIf a parachute is going to experience a failure, they'll typically fail immediately after deploying, and this is usually due to the lines being tangled. You can hear him talking about not wanting to tangle his lines right before take off. Once a parachute is deployed it takes a lot to cause them to have a catastrophic failure. The chute itself is very unlikely to fail. Again the biggest point of failure is the lines being tangled which will only really happen if he tries some maneuvers which are difficult to do when you have a giant motor and fan strapped to your back.",

"How is it banned if it aired on national TV and is now freely available to stream on the internet?",
"Well on the first point you can ban things from being hosted on complying platforms well after they initially aired.\n\nAnd Vimeo hosts a lot of stuff that would get taken down from Youtube or other popular media hosts. Just because it's available to stream on the internet doesn't mean it's being streamed legally with permission from the rightsholder.",
"How exactly would anyone act out of a paper bag?",
"I'm not offended, but it's just not funny. \n\nIt's a list of risqué topics, without any wit, cleverness or absurdity. Just bunch of people saying non-sequiturs",
"I think that is what makes it offensive. Taboo subject matter is ripe for comedy, but it is very difficult to do well. Lazy or untalented comedians use it as a shortcut to get laughs rather than making original observations or jokes, then wonder why a lot of people do not like it.",

"Banning can occur after something is broadcasted or released, that's typically how it works.

"Well. That's a skit alright. Good performances overall I'd say.",
"It's hard to end a sketch",
"This is why nothing should be off limits when it comes to comedy. It just has to be coming from the right place.",
"That seems to go against the whole theme of the show…. \n\nCan I still buy them on Apple? \n\nSo4:eo3 is a all time classic",
"So you were offended then. You said as much at the end of this comment.",
"That would have been good, Kutcher's story doesn't even make sense as they are all playing like they are all old buddies finally getting a night out together, but even without that aspect it still fell flat not matching the tone of the other stories.",
"A quick look on my itunes shows that S04E03 is *not* available.\n\nThere newest season (Season 15) has an episode in it that is a nod towards this controversy. The gang talks about their black face in the past.",
"Weak shit lol",
"Agreed",
"Those have got to be the goalposts right?",
"It's not banned, the original network just doesn't want to continue playing it lol. But banned sounds way better, more exclusive, all for the karma baby.",
"The Rock’s “The World’s Most Evil Invention” sketch would be my favorite SNL sketch of all time if it weren’t for the terrible White Castle ending.",
"How is heroin banned if I can buy it from the guy outside of my local 711?",
"Exactly! That's definitely one of the skits I had in mind. It just seemed like a shameless plug for White Castle. Like Jack Donaghy made them write it in.",
"This guy gets it...",
"The point is, 99.9% of what people say has been \"banned\" isn't a ban, effective or otherwise. It's commercial entities voluntarily withdrawing some content to either seek public approval or avoid negative sentiment.\n\nWhat you're claiming was banned \"after broadcast\" was not. At any point. Ever.",
"Let's go talk it over at the restaurant across the street with the medieval decor and the little beef sandwiches.",
"This!",
"It means \"please click this link now I want views\"",
"If this mildy dirty sketch is banned I just don't see how much real humor they can squeeze out of SNL in the future.",
"“Banned” is misleading when something aired on broadcast television and is easily found with even the laziest of Google searches on YouTube",
"Robo chomo!",
"I feel like they had a couple of these? I remember another song being used, another one of those songs that everyone knows the chorus but not the verses…",
"I tell the \"big word\" joke all the time. Great way to shut people up when they challenge you to tell a dirty joke.",
"No it was never banned, its just a shit click bait title.",
"It also doesn’t make sense because women don’t have prostates. Unless the joke is that they are trans in which case it’s kind of fucked that the sketch would put that on the same level as pedophilia/Underwear stealing/raping a comatose person.",
"Yeah honestly the sketch collapsed right there imo",
"yeah but if its too funny its no longer SNL",
"Shameless? White Castle sponsored it.",
"Well, yeah. No shit. In the US, we frequently refer to books, songs, movies, etc. as being ‘banned’. Literally nobody takes that to mean that the sale or possession of the work has been criminalized or is subject to federal penalty. *We don’t do that shit here.* Artistic expression that can be characterized as political speech is sacrosanct under the Constitution. \n\nSo yeah, no creative work in the U.S. is ever ‘banned’ in that sense. But it goes without saying. So when someone tells me that an episode of a television show has been banned, I’m not obtuse enough think that means it has has been effectively erased from existence, and that all future performances or publications of the work will result in gulag for the responsible parties. Obviously, it means that some media outlet or repository has decided to make that content unavailable to the public. \n\nThe use of the word ‘banned’ in OP’s title is perfectly appropriate, and conforms with common usage.",
"But pretty cool that it's mostly because he took a lot of time off trying to prevent human trafficking.",
"Thanks for punting the pedant; banning is implicitly soft in the U.S. at present, which I appreciate.\n\nI was raised in the dying days of Apartheid South Africa, and those fuckers really knew how to ban books, movies and people.",
"I feel like this whole sketch is built around the premise that it's hard to end skits. Just say lalala and then move on to the next one.",
"Except it's not appropriate, even despite your nauseautingly poorly written tantrum that misuses and abuses \"literally\", \"sacrosanct\", and \"gulag\". \n\nWhat you naively called \"banned\" is a misnomer, and a widely held myth. And significant portions of your bloviating are just false anyway.\n\nThere are many things banned here in America, practices, products, and yes, even certain content. Just not the milquetoast SNL skits that edgelords like you say are \"banned\". Pray you never learn what content banning actually is like. Thank you though, for the demo of what obtusely and overconfidently wrong looks like. It reinforced my point.\n\n> Obviously, it means that some media outlet or repository has decided to make that content unavailable to the public.\n\nIf it's obvious, then why did you write a wall of contradicting twaddle?",
">I feel like this whole sketch is built around the premise that it's hard to end skits. Just say lalala and then move on to the next one.",
"When SNL was kinda funny. This was banned?? No wonder the show went downhill.",
"If they had better writers",
"Then you, like I, know what actual banning means, and the troll who wants to trivialize it demean those who know and have suffered it.",
"Whats the tl;dw on this?",
"That's modern medicine for you.",
"I mean, they did ask for the most evil invention ever.",
"Mediocre,like most SNL sketches.",
"\"banned\" =/= never shown or impossible to access. You're thinking of illegal.",
"I think that might be one of the best skits they've ever done.",
"> How is it banned if it aired on national TV and is now freely available to stream on the internet?\n\nYou're thinking of 'illegal', not banned. Banned is not an official government only term.",
"I gave it a chance...................\n\nyup.. corny..............level 10 corny.",
"So this is where Joseph Rosenbaum (Jojo, to his Hollywood admirers) got the idea to exclusively date single mothers.",
"This clip actually did get banned from SNL.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/nh6Hf5_ZYPI",
"You know White Castle paid for a spot on the show and that's what they approved for their spot.",
"I don‘t get it, why is this banned? It‘s just a collection of jokes one can read on the internet all the time.",
"Or that canteen boy skit with Alec Baldwin.",
"A mildly funny snl skit failed in the last 20 seconds , no way \n\n/s",
"Like, i can use a golf club for evil. Butbthat doesn't make it an evil golf club. That robot was a very evil invention.",
"Been waiting that long to quote Ferris Bueller eh?",
"I guess that’s what turned Nate into an energy vampire.",
"And half of it, arguably the actually somewhat funny half, were just old jokes crammed into a sketch. The Connie Chung thing and vagina thing weren’t funny.",
"It is.",
"What? No I don’t!",
"What does banned even mean? It's a live skit show. It's not like they do reruns...",
"Bingo bongo.",
"I feel like they are ruined by being about three minutes too long.",
"OMG....that little tattle tail, her mom broke up with me! 🤣🤣🤣",
"So I've always had trouble swapping Ashton Kutcher and James Franco back and forth... made for an interesting start to this.",
"Yeah, I get that the joke structure is that they do 3 really bad things and then a turnaround on the 4th, but the 4th just isn't in line with the story they're telling. Like, these are supposed to be old friends, how would they not know her name or gender?",
"Think of banning in this context like you would in a game. If an admin bans you from his server after an issue, you're banned from that server. But not from playing on other ones. The network won't air it anymore, but that doesn't mean it isn't available elsewhere",
"Wasn’t the premise chosen because the writers didn’t want to do a sponsored sketch?",
"It's good but robot insurance is better",
"He he",
"It was actually funny. No wonder they had to get away from it, would confuse folks.",
"Was in a thread debating Dwayne Johnsons acting abilities. I think this was his best role",
">Banned SNL \"Amie\" sketch featuring Ashton Kutcher\n\n*shares link from vimeo with TV rating in the upper left indicating it was actually fucking aired*\n\nLol, ok boomer. Maybe it's just not on YouTube?",
"Because, silly goose. \n\nHe’s selling you fentanyl not heroin.",
"At least they're able to poke fun at it in the newest season, but it is a shame they were pulled.",
"Endings are hard",
"Like how whitest kids u know just leans into it and their sketches just take a turn at the end most times.",
"Yes - [Old Glory Insurance](https://youtu.be/g4Gh_IcK8UM). Definitely a classic.",
"It makes me think it was originally written for Kutcher to tell a story that would be drawn from his relationship with Demi Moore, but then switched at the end. I'm not sure when that sketch aired, but it seems about in the early 00's. Kutcher and Moore married in 2005, so the timeline kind of matches up.",
"“This time.” Lol",
"If only you and I and everyone else commenting were remotely talented enough writers to work for SNL. Damn, that sucks that we AREN'T. boo hoo",
"Can’t find a video of it, but the did one to “The Weight” by the band. Chorus starts with “Take a load off, Fanny.”\n\n*edit* - [found it!](https://vimeo.com/40040107)\n\nPlus [another one ](https://vimeo.com/40040091) with Rainn Wilson",
"Stop saying that!",
"Not forgetting that *everything* with The Rock in it SUCKS.",
"This is disgusting, isn't it?",
"Thousands of skits spanning decades, numerous directly inspiring full length feature films, but the one about molesting children might be the best one.\n\nPeak Reddit.",
"That’s it! That’s the one I was thinking of (with Rainn)! Great grab! Going to fully enjoy watching this again",
"To be fair, there are tons of movies about molesting children.",
"That was flipping hilarious",
"That's not the joke though. The phrase is \"Couldn't punch his way out of a WET paper bag\" implying someone is too weak to break through an already soggy bag. \n\nYou cant act your way out of a bag, your insult is nonsensical.\n\nGet your idioms right, son.",
"It's not banned. Every fucking time with SNL videos this \"banned\" thing is put out there. Always nonsense.",
"Ya more proof chicks arent funny",
"They [address that](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVy4aKSolZM&t=155s) in another version of the sketch.",
"I’m pretty confident a lot of people commenting are talented enough to write for SNL. If only that’s all it took.",
"This reminds me of the \"Garden Party\" road trip sketch. Also hilarious",
"Only because he's feeling generous",
"Reminds of the With Bob and David sketch on Netflix. In the very first episode they are going around in a circle like this telling everyone what their new year’s resolutions are and they all say something ridiculous like “this year im finally gonna do it.. im finally going to become the founder of a major cell phone company” or “this year im going to be a supreme court judge” and everyone is supportive of each other up until David says “I think ill cut down on red meat” and everyone goes “yeah ok David. We were all being realistic and sharing our authentic goals and you had to act like its a big joke and say something sooo far out there”",
">\tDee Day was hilarious, I can’t even remember what would get it pulled\n\n[Oh, that’d be it](https://imdb.com/title/tt6362506/mediaviewer/rm322407169/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)",
"ok, but what about this is offensive?",
"And they got San Watterson to do it. He was on Law & Order then and some other actor on the show really did ads for worthless insurance aimed at gullible old people at the time.",
"Omg lmao",
"Any Poehler getting pregnant in her butt is up there. Whole family keeps asking how she got pregnant that way but they won’t tell.",
"Look, kid. I’m sorry if my post doesn’t meet your standard for throwaway internet comments written at 2:00 am. I’ll endeavor to do better next time. \n\nAnyway, I’m game for this discussion. Tell me exactly which creative works can be properly described as having been ‘banned’ in the United States in your lifetime. \n\np.s.: I didn’t misuse or abuse any of the words you listed. Happy to walk you through that as well.",
"Never saw that. Funny, but the child molesting robot skit is WAY better in my opinion.",
"If you want grown ass men to get their \"idioms\" right.. on christmas.. you're making the same mistake your Dad made when he dumped his seed into your mom.\n\ni'm 5 white russians in.... i don't care.",
"Funnier than anything they have released with the current cast accept for when mulaney hosts",
"Doc, she’s chokin’!",
"Just watched it, can confirm. SNL would do sooo much better if they just took a little more risk",
"You also don't need to write jokes to find something not funny.",
"(x) *Doubt*",
"Again your insult doesn't make any sense. How do those two things equate? You're about as dumb as you are classless, boy.",
"A lot was lost when Epstein's Island caught fire tbf",
"Never saw this before and thought for sure they were going to shoot up the bar at the end then kill themselves. Was actually relieved when they just did the YMCA song.",
"I wrote a bit where a couple dudes sat around a bond fire in a\nPost apocalyptic hell scape. They all share their stories of how they survived. One traded off his daughter. Another killed his wife. Can’t remember the other one but the final dude “had to do a little gay stuff, nothing major.” To which he got murdered and then eaten over. Because it disgusted them so.",
"Look trollchold, sorry if your crippling insecurity has made you a shitty person. Maybe a more patient teacher or therapist can help you be less toxic, but you've been an asshole to me, so I don't care to give you more undeserved tolerance.",
"Yeah these are pretty bad…not going to age well",
"Proof?",
"Probably, once SNL writers find a format that works they usually do it 2 or 3 times that season.",
"I don’t think so",
"That’s too bad. You seem interested in law and language, which are my areas of expertise. You might have learned something. Let me know if you change your mind.",
"🤔",
"Woody Allen has entered the conversation.",
"what the fuck is a home grown cone?\n\nkid?",
"only the good ones get banned.",
"If you're this feckless in your self-professed areas of \"expertise\", I assume you're just as feckless in other areas. You appear to have the maturity and education of a disadvantaged child.",
"a punchline is how you traditionally end a sketch/joke....\n\ni mean, it's not hard.",
"I’m genuinely offering to explain this stuff to you. If you would rather spend your time composing stilted insults, that’s fine. But it would really be a shame if you continued on through your life so desperately afraid to admit that you don’t know everything. If you do, you will wind up squandering whatever potential you might have. \n\nAnd yeah, I get that I’m some random internet guy. But I’m opening the door here. You’ve got nothing to lose, and I’m completely open to the possibility that I’m wrong. So what’s the worst case scenario for you? That you prove your point, or that you learn something new? As far as I can tell, those are the possible outcomes. \n\nIf you don’t want to get into it, that’s fine. But you would do well to ask yourself why. If you’re worried about ‘losing’, don’t be. You have everything to gain here. \n\nI gather that you’re young, which is fine. I’m not looking to boost my own ego by punching down. Think of it as a discussion rather than a confrontation. \n\nSo let me rephrase my question in a way that might give you a stronger starting point. What creative works have been banned in the United States *ever*. That opens it up a bit.",
"A trollchild is sending me a wall of text. I guess it's better than a skin suit. If you can refrain from being an asshole for 6 months, contact me again and I'll consider reading it.",
"It kinda is because these guys aren't labeled villains and didn't get negative reactions from peers like they did in that skit.",
"Alright, you little shit. Sorry I wasted my time.",
"Spoken like the childish troll you are.",
"I haven’t bothered to check your comment history, but my estimate of your age keeps getting lower. Hope you don’t talk to your parents like this.",

"Hamburgers only count as sandwiches for taxation and FDA rules. Change my mind.",
"Too lazy to check it out. Which one was the best?",
"Anything from the menu works just fine sir, as long as I have a button and you have the cash.",
"Cubano: Ham, pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard\n\n2nd up was Falafel Pita: Falafel, lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, hummus",
"A Cuban Sandwich, according to him.\n\nI imagine there's some healthy bias in that verdict, however. I skipped right to the end to check the result, so I don't know which ones he compared.\n\nThe obvious answer is going to be a more common and famous sandwich, like a classic grilled cheese or pb&j, for example. Widespread appeal, though not necessarily the best tasting. But, who doesn't like grilled cheese sandwiches?",
"Ah, both of those were on the bracket. The man also loves his grilled cheese and PB&B&J",
"2 spicy chickens with cheese and Mayo and a triple baconator meal, no pickle, add Mayo, ketchup, mustard, crunchy and grilled onions. Chili instead of fries add cheese and sour cream.",
"Sounds good I might just go Wendy's and get that....",
"I run game on fast food menus homie. Get a child frosty to dip some fries if you feeling yourself. 😤",
"I heard that recently and I won't....I don't do fries.",
"Hey I'm mostly a separate side rather than fries kinda guy myself. Have a good meal whatever you decide!",
"Thanks 👍 it may be my Christmas dinner.",
"I think a Cuban sandwich could be too divisive as mustard alone is fairly polarising. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not that common outside of America, if that even matters. \n\nSo I think you're right with grilled cheese sandwiches. Or maybe a BLT? Seems relatively common in many countries.",
"Watched most of it.. a top tier Italian or spicy Italian sub > Cubano",
"bruh, a falafel pita beats a banh mi? get outta here",
"I knew cubanos would be the winner. I didn't expect the runner up, but I can respect it.",
"You have more comments than likes, stick to fast food homie.",
"While I enjoy both of the finalists greatly, he’s way off base as the Reuben is the greatest sandwich.",

"Classic Northernlion",
"Sandwiches are a British invention. They decide this.",
"I love Cuban sandwiches but to me nothing beats a Reuben.",
"I can't get behind that runner up.",

"Nope. Cubano is better.",
"Yeah, he has no idea what he's talking about.\n\nEdit: i [just did it](https://bracketfights.com/create/encyclopedia-of-sandwiches-3). Ended up with fried chicken vs banh mi in the final bracket. Picked fried chicken.",
"I knew his list was going to piss me off with the first pick. Pulled pork beats Italian by a mile in my book. Italian sandwiches are the 'I'll order it because it's hard to fuck up' of sandwiches, it's what you get from a place you don't trust. But a good pulled pork is a couple orders of magnitude better than a good italian sandwich. \n\nMy all time winner would probably be a BLT though.",
"Gotta weigh in here and agree, the Reuben is the best.\n\nWhy? Because it is greater than the sum of its parts.\n\nSaur kraut, not a huge fan. Corned beef is okay, but not my favorite. Swiss cheese is usually a pass. Thousand island dressing barely registers for me. Pumpernickel bread? Doesn't hit my top 5.\n\nBut put them all together on a Reuben, in just the right proportions, and it's absolutely magnificent.",
"Pan Fried Grilled Cheese above all others",
"I think Nothernlion is Canadian, though I'm not 100% sure. Maybe it's also hard to find a good banh mi up there.",
"Hummus? No. \n\nTzatziki is where it’s at.",
"Dude, I'm sorry- if you've never had an Italian beef sandwich from Chicago or a shrimp/roast beef poboy from New Orleans, you have no business ranking sandwiches.

"Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich, top of the list or bust.",
"Croque Monsieur is slept on.",
"I think fried chicken and grilled cheese are the only two reliable sandwiches where worst-case scenario its still going to be satisfying and best-case scenario it can go toe-to-toe with any other sandwich on its best day. Even a fried chicken sandwich from a shitty fast-food restaurant gets the job done, and same with a cheap grilled cheese you whip up at home with wonder bread and american cheese. But the thought of a bad reuben, italian sub, bahn mi or cheesesteak makes my stomach turn from prior experiences.",
"Yeah falafel pita doesn’t even Beat a grilled cheese IMO",
"PoBoys are overrated, don't @ me. Lol",

"I legit think it's ruined by the russian dressing. Like, swap that for mustard or horseradish? That's one of my favorites right there (and one of my regular orders).\n\nBut I do not understand the idea of putting ketchup and mayo on corned beef (or with any of those ingredients really), it just confuses me.",
"Squeeze me",
"There’s a YouTube channel called BingingWithBabish and he teaches you how to make the Cubano from the movie Chef and it’s perfection. If that doesn’t change your mind you might just have bad genes.",
"I'll admit that the very best hot Italian sub I've ever had (Mazarro's in St. Pete, FL) beats the best Cuban I've ever had (West Tampa Sandwich Shop), but on average a Cuban sandwich made properly will beat the average Italian sub.",

"Caprese sun ☀️ 😂😂",
"Publix Chiken Tender sub will go down as the best sandwich of all time",
"See that’s what I’m saying. I agree on a regular basis you’ll probably get a better Cuban sandwich anywhere. But using his same logic in the video. The ceiling in my opinion is higher for an Italian Sub especially a hot spicy Italian sub perfectly toasted.\n\nHungry now",
"I’ll check it out",
"I *literally* have never read a sentence that incorrect in my entire life.\n\nThis tells me you've never had a great one before.",
"He’s Canadian and he spent a year or two teaching English in Japan or Korea, I can’t recall which atm.",
"He is comparing the best of a grilled cheese vs the worst of a bacon egg and cheese? BS. A croissant beats regular bread and then add cheese bacon and egg it should be a no brainer.",
"Because you already have the salty and acidic from the meat and kraut. You need some fat and a little sweetness. Mustard and horseradish add neither and interfere with the flavor.",
"When I read the description my mind jumped to best sandwiches I've ever hand, and the far and away winner was the Cuban from Bunk Sandwiches in Portland.",
"I'm not a card carrying member, I think mustard is basically just OK. i might not notice if it disappeared.\n\nbut I see you. and I respect you.",

"Tahini*",
"I really wanted to watch this and he just fucking lost me at his pronunciation of caprese.",
"In my mind, something somewhere between a good Italian sub and a good gyro is the ideal sandwich. I might say that a sub is the better “sandwich” because a truly good gyro almost always has to be eaten with a knife and fork after the first few bites. It’s more like a salad with delicious meat and sauce served on top of some bread.",
"The juice is loose",

"Wasn’t Kentucky part of the Union? Lol Made to look like the Confederate flag.",

"Bro you def not experienced enough to make that call",
"This guy has the taste buds of a rock based on his bracket.",

"A grilled cheese with too much cheese is pretty horrible though.",

"I ate a bad pickle once and can't even look at em anymore. Used to be known as the pickle prince in 1st grade",

"The two rants he goes on [right here](https://youtu.be/QVxvwiIY1V0?t=2326) about the two finalists is worth watching alone. Also he's very poignant [here](https://youtu.be/QVxvwiIY1V0?t=2283) on why he orders falafel.",

"Why did I just watch this entire video",
"As someone who lives for grilled cheese, cheese toast, and cheese paninis - a good falafel wrap, sauced up, with some pickled veggies is a truly godlike food. \n\nI’d almost say the falafel doesn’t belong in this conversation. And these brackets are kind of fucked up to be honest.",
"Any way you want me.",
"The Italian Beef vs French Dip drove me crazy. THE ITALIAN BEEF IS ALREADY DIPPED.",

"Best sandwich I ever had was the first gyro I ever tasted. It was the evening of June 22, 1978. I was 16 and almost completely out of money. I had about 10 to 20 francs to last me until my flight back to the states in 2 days. I had been walking around the streets because I couldn’t pay to go inside anywhere. Somewhere near the Sorbonne, I came upon an alleyway jammed with young people and shops and stalls. There was a cart/stall with this African dude cutting strips of meat and putting them in some sort of bread. It smelled like fucking heaven. These sandwiches were cheap - 3 or 4 francs. I ordered one and nodded my head to every proposed ingredient. I was handed what I now know as a gyro on waxed paper. The evening was warm, the street was noisy with lights pushing back the darkness and I bit into the most exquisite exotic tender spicy delicious sandwich I had ever tasted. In fact, at that age of my life, that gyro was the best thing I had ever eaten. It was astonishing. \n\nThe following night I went back to have another gyro, and the vender was gone. Years later I encountered gyros in my native land and for a brief snatches, I can taste the reflection of that awesome foreign meal. But frankly, no gyro will ever taste quite as great as my first.",

"My man makes a few misses here.\n\nFirstly, in a match up against a Cubano or a Reuben, the Reuben wins hands down. It’s simply a superior sandwich. \n\nBread. A bad marble rye is hard to find. A bad rye in general is difficult to find. But a Cubano can be easily served on a number of stale, lifeless abominations.\n\nMeat. Corned beef is also good even at the worst of times. You rarely, if ever, will get a stringy bite or something you’ll have to spit our. By definition it has been sliced perpendicular to the grain, providing a melt-in-your-mouth texture, everytime. Top tier consistency. But the Cubano? Roasted pork varies highly in quality. Ham as well. It’s very possible to get a bland, dry, or stringy sandwich.\n\nCheese is top choice either way - swiss on a sandwich is a god-tier pick. And to be honest, the rest of the sandwiches have a tendency to vary. I myself personally prefer a mustard-heavy Reuben. Pickles are often found on a Reuben, while a Cubano seldom has saurkraut (also a god-tier topping). \n\nEnd result, you’re going to get a much more consistent result with ordering Reubens. And goddamn, if you ever find a Reuben with quality ingredients, it will soar to heights a Cubano simply can’t attain. \n\n\nSecondly, when that Bacon Egg Cheese got cut, you lost me. Bacon Egg Cheese is off the fuckin charts. I’m not even sure it should be included because frankly it’s not even really competing in the same ring. I gotta take off serious points for a lack of consistency, but if you know where to get a good Bacon Egger, and you’re opting for a Cubano instead, you’re a bit of a muppet.\n\nThirdly, Fried Chicken stands alongside Bacon Egger in “sandwiches that are so good they don’t actually compete against other sandwiches”. It also gets minus points for inconsistency.\n\nBut the end showdown is a three-way between Reuben, Bacon Egg, and Fried Chicken. And frankly I LOVE a Bacon Egg but at the end of the day it loses to a Fried Chicken. A good Bacon Egg will make your day…a good Fried Chicken is a reason to go on a road trip.\n\nBut in the final showdown of Reuben v. Fried Chicken, we have to ask ourselves - is a Fried Chicken sandwich really, fundamentally, a sandwich? Or is it a fried chicken meal in a convenient, ready-to-move format? Deconstruct a Reuben and it is no longer a meal. It is greater than the sum of its parts. It is, a true, honest-to-god sandwich. And in a battle of such absolute titans, I think we have to give it to the sandwich that is, in the truest sense of the word, a sandwich.\n\nThe Reuben looks out over its dominion and smiles.",

The Maine lobster roll is served cold, with (hopefully a light amount of) mayonnaise, and the Connecticut lobster roll, served warm with drawn butter (some will use clarified butter but it's not as good).

"A sandwich is all theory until the execution. It's all about how you make it and then it's fucking about preference. I love a steak and cheese sub, but if it's done badly an egg salad sandwich can easily trump it. That said, a steak and cheese soup made according to MY preferences is the absolute king.",
"I agree.. when presented with the option I almost never order the falafel. In those far and few Mediterranean places that do it well; falafel can be amazing. Fresh out of the fryer, Pipping hot stuffed into a pita with French fries, tahini, Israeli salad, hot sauce and pickled cabbage. \n\nThat said, virtually anywhere you go; you are presented with reheated not-crunchy bland falafel balls.

"I can definitely see why they get classed as sandwiches, and I can’t really make a logical argument for why I don’t think they’re sandwiches. They just don’t *feel* like a sandwich. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them referred to as a sandwich in the UK so maybe it’s a cultural thing?",

"I understand how wrong you are, because I've actually gone to OTHER COUNTRIES, believe it or not, and had SANDWICHES from other places!!!\n\nIt's really easy to claim you have the best sandwiches, when those are the only ones you had. Adding sugar to the dough doesn't make it \"good\" to anyone, except a few sweet toothed Americans with a childish taste in food obviously",
"whenever I see posts like this about the best sandwich, I am always reminded of this classic u/unidan post....\n\nOne time I was given free reign of a bagel store I worked in. I was in charge of everything. Everyone was gone for the day. \nI made a hero out of bagel dough. Whole wheat dough, everything bagel toppings. I made the bread into garlic bread, with REAL garlic and REAL onions that I sauteed up in fresh butter. \nThe day before, my boss was having a family party so he ordered REAL Italian gourmet meats from Italy, to do it right. He made all the platters ahead of time, but still had leftover meats that he said we could use for our own delight. Real prosciutto, real salami, real provolone cheese that was unprocessed and unpasteurized. Capicola ham, spiced ham. I made a spiced mayonnaise myself, in the store. Roma tomatoes. Romaine lettuce that I delved through to find the perfect pieces. Red onion. \nI stacked the meat so that it would be fluffy, folding each piece and making sure that it was in line with the bread-horizon. I used a perfectly sharpened bread knife to cut it on a slight diagonal across the hero-bagel-bread. \nI roasted some red peppers that we had over our grill, and used the true, raw olive oil that he had used for the party for antipasto trays. I used a few olives to make a small tapenade that went into the center of the bread, injected via turkey baster. After I cut it, I wrapped it up and put it into our walk-in refrigerator to marinate for about half an hour. \nI made a sandwich whose street value was easily over 150 dollars. I made two of these sandwiches. I gave one to my friend Kenny for his birthday. \nThe other one I ate over the course of a day. I ate nothing else that day. \nI wept. Guys, I don't want this to sound like some bullshit story, but I fucking cried. I fucking cried over this sandwich, and I think about it every few weeks. This was almost four or five years ago.",
"Seems fine to me.\n\nGarlic bread is delicious and is basically a buttered up roll with garlic aioli on it. Adding a burger patty with cheese, onion, and spinach isn’t all that different from a standard burger dressing with lettuce subbed out for spinach. \n\nRaw spinach is fine as a green. Sandwich *sounds* unconventional but it’s not too weird. Downvotes are probably from people with kid tastebuds who still think broccoli is gross and that spinach is always frozen green mush instead of an actual plant.",
"Bold of you to assume I've only ever been to other states and not other counties lol. I've traveled quite a bit as well, and my opinion still stands strong. I enjoy foreign food a lot, particularly Middle Eastern and sub-Saharan African, but the sandwiches tend to fall short.\n\nFunny enough, neither the Italian beef nor the poboy's bread have sugar in it. It's just flour, water, yeast, and salt. You might have known that without throwing wild assumptions around.",
"Italian beef",
"You dad still made something that sounds delicious!",
"Bahn mi is probably my favourite fucking sandwich ever, had them in Vietnam and there’s a guy not far from where I live makes fucking legit sambos, every time I go I have to get two. Unreal",
"Honestly I feel like folks here have yet to experience a good gyro sandwich, and there's more complexity to the toppings than what's seen on the screen here. I've been slamming gyros back in Germany for the last 3 months and let me tell you, a good gyro is absolutely incredible. But also yeah, the gyros I get there are LOADED but you never have to eat it with a knife and fork. I really wonder where you're coming from, and where you had your gyros after describing this experience.",
"For me it’s just that the best gyros I’ve had are just more toppings and sauce per amount of bread such that there’s no good way to hope to eat it as a wrap. I’m there for the flavors and textures, but don’t need it to be a sandwich/wrap in terms of method of delivery. \n\nI like being able to cut down through everything and get a bit of bread stabbed at the bottom of the bite, but be able to mop up extra tzatziki and whatever else is all over the plate by that point.\n\nThey are fantastic, but I have a hard time comparing them to a sandwich that I can actually hold. I’ve had small gyros that were still delicious that could be eaten as a wrap, but they just didn’t deliver the same amount of punch and lacked the variety of other toppings since you can just only fit so much into a wrap",

Individuals rarely have much power. Maybe these guys did good for everyone they saw.\n\nYou have to realize too that without media, a knowledge of what’s outside your immediate area is a blind spot, so we truly cannot judge on skin color and time period alone."
