Title: Youtube Recommendations
Post by: mongers on June 10, 2012, 07:29:20 PM
Didn't we have a thread for this in the dim and distant past ?

Anyway, my first suggestion is this:

http://www.youtube.com/user/stephminxer/videos?view=1 (http://www.youtube.com/user/stephminxer/videos?view=1)

Someone has put all of the Michael Wood "In search of the Dark Ages episodes up on youtube, they are unavailable on dvd and possibly any other format.

Anyway interesting to see how tv history documentaries have changed over the last 30 or so years and makes an interesting contrast with his recent work for the beeb, that covers some of the same territory. 

I don't know the exact running order of the episodes, but know Offa was first and Boadicea next.

Couple ongoing series I would recommend. "Welcome to the Basement" on the channel blamesocietyfilms. Part movie review, part condensed version of MST3K. And "Tabletop" on channel geekandsundry. Will Wheaton hosts a group of writers, game designers, or other minor celebrities as they play games, frequently ones with RPG elements.

Heil Honey I'm Home Home  :hmm:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWjCkcAmzDc

Quote

Sitcom about Hitler and Eva Braun. First broadcast in 1990 on BSB (British Satellite Broadcasting). An ironic parody of American family TV comedies of the 1950s.

This has improved picture quality over the copy presently floating around Youtube. Not perfect, but a lot better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_Hon...

Heil Honey I'm Home! was controversial British television sitcom, produced in 1990, and canceled after one episode aired.

The show centred on fictionalised versions of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live together in suburban bliss, until the day their lives are turned upside-down by their new neighbours, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein, who are Jewish. The show's plot is inevitably centered on Hitler's inability to get along with his neighbours. A caption at the beginning of the episode presented the series as a 'lost' sitcom from the 50s, recently re-discovered. The show spoofed elements of 1950s and 1960s American sitcoms such as Leave It to Beaver and I Love Lucy, including the corny title, light (even vacuous) plots and dialogue, and unwarranted applause whenever a character appeared on screen.

The plot of episode 1 involved Adolf telling Eva of the impending arrival of Neville Chamberlain, and begging her not to tell the Goldensteins. Of course, Eva lets it slip to Rosa that Chamberlain (the most important man in Europe!) is coming round and Rosa tells Arny. They then crash the dinner party the Hitlers have prepared for Chamberlain.

The programme was written by Geoff Atkinson and commissioned by satellite television channel Galaxy, part of British Satellite Broadcasting (which later became part of BSkyB). It was shown at 9.30pm on a Monday night, after an episode of Dad's Army. During the credits of Dad's Army, Galaxy's announcer said 'And unless Arthur Lowe defeats him, it's the man himself in a few moments in Heil Honey, I'm Home!, as the Galaxy Comedy Weekend continues.'

The programme proved controversial when first aired, as it was seen by many as being in very poor taste. It was accused of crassly trivialising Nazism, although others have defended it as being in the same tradition of Third Reich parodies such as 'Allo 'Allo! and Hogan's Heroes, or along similar lines to the portrayal of Hitler as a domestic fool in The Producers. They also point out the crassness was intentional, and part of the parody anyway.[1]

Only one episode (the pilot) was ever screened, although eight episodes were planned and a number were recorded. The filming of the series was cancelled immediately by Sky (BSkyB) on its acquisition of British Satellite Broadcasting. This was probably due in part to the ire that accompanied the first episode. Neither the pilot or other episodes have ever been aired since. The show has since become renowned as one of the most controversial programmes ever to have been screened in the UK; it listed at #61 on Channel 4's The 100 Greatest TV Moments from Hell.[2]

Cast * Neil McCaul as Adolf Hitler * Denica Fairman as Eva Braun (replaced by Maria Friedman in unaired episodes)[3] * Gareth Marks as Arny Goldenstein * Caroline Gruber as Rosa Goldenstein * Laura Brattan as Ruth * Patrick Cargill as Neville Chamberlain

Here's a great story (though several years old) that helps explain why I think Rich Rodriguez is a Michigan Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBVy5o4bjeQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBVy5o4bjeQ)

this is the incident, also, that explains why Mike Barwis didn't leave Ann Arbor to join RR at Arizona:  this kind of rehab is now his passion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kBcgY3F444 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kBcgY3F444)
I don't recommend the latter for the picky: Barwis isn't the greatest speaker.

Great story.

However, everytime I read a story like this, and hear those seemingly inevitable words when the story involves a fatal car accident - "Nobody in the car was wearing a seatbelt", I am simply dumbfounded.

People still, today, drive around without a seatbelt on? Really?

I wish Barwis would have come to Arizona though. He is something special.

Here's the series of lectures I mentioned in the "Free Will" thread:

http://webcast.berkeley.edu/playlist#c,s,Spring_2006,PL095393D5B42B2266 (http://webcast.berkeley.edu/playlist#c,s,Spring_2006,PL095393D5B42B2266)

It's a Berkeley course called "Physics for Future Presidents," and it's a general introduction to physics and stresses concepts rather than math.

The funniest part is near the end where Dr. Muller describes the Nemesis theory; which he postulates is responsible for the comet which killed off the dinosaurs.  As part of the paper he and his colleagues proposed three names for the sun's twin, Nemesis (the Greek god who punished mortals who grew too powerful), Shiva (the destroyer of worlds) and, George (for the saint who slew the dragon.)

Science magazine edited their article and just used the name Nemesis.  Stephen Jay Gould, then, got upset at the Eurocentricism and said that they should have named it Shiva.  Anglo-Centric as it may be, I think it would have been much better had Science named it George.

Heh, I had a good laugh the other day - a history book for kids (well, for my kid) repeated the old urban legend about how knights were so ungainly in armour, they had to be winched onto their horses.

I have seen several of these recreations, live and in videos, and it always amazes me how actual dismounted fighting in armour basically resembles a sort of wrestling. The point seems to be to get the other guy off his feet, then stab him in a vulnerable spot.

For the law talkers: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/opinion/verbatim-what-is-a-photocopier.html

QuoteIn 2012, on my Facebook feed, I stumbled across a hilarious excerpt from a legal transcript. In a deposition in Ohio, a lawyer became embroiled in an absurd argument about the definition of a photocopier.

D: When you say "photocopying machine," what do you mean?

PL: Let me be clear. The term "photocopying machine" is so ambiguous that you can't picture in your mind what a photocopying machine is in an office setting?

The dialogue was so sharp, inane and fully realized that I assumed it was fiction. I traced the deposition back to the Ohio Supreme Court and downloaded hundreds of pages of legal documents from the case. To my pleasant surprise, it was as strange as it was true.

In this short film, I sought to creatively reinterpret the original events. (I've not been able to locate any original video recordings, so I'm unsure how closely my actors' appearance and delivery resembles the original participants.) My primary rule was the performance had to be verbatim -- no words could be modified or changed from the original legal transcripts. Nor did I internally edit the document to compress time. What you see is, word for word, an excerpt from what the record shows to have actually unfolded. However, I did give the actors creative range to craft their performances. As such, this is a hybrid of documentary and fiction. We've taken creative liberties in the staging and performance to imbue the material with our own perspectives.

I actually had something like this happen to me.  I agreed to meet a friend at the Vienna Inn for lunch one Sunday at noon.  I showed up, waited in vain for 20 minutes, decided he wasn't going to show, ordered, and ate.  I was in the parking lot headed for my car when he showed up.  Turns out he was on time, because DST had ended that morning.  Who knew?

The staff of the Vienna Inn didn't know, because it doesn't even open until noon on Sundays!  :D

For the law talkers: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/opinion/verbatim-what-is-a-photocopier.html

This kind of thing happens quite a bit, usually because a lawyer has been over-aggressive in preparing a witness.

Here's an example from a depo I took recently (names, etc redacted):
Q: On [date] did you meet X?
[Opposing lawyer : Objection]
A:  You're not phrasing the question properly
Q: Okay.  How would you understand it?
A: Well, we met.  We didn't have a meeting.
Q: Okay.  Did you go see him?
A: No I didn't go see him.  That's - you're not phrasing the question properly.
A: We didn't go there to see X
Q: Did you see him?
A: Did I see him when?
Q: Did you in sometime in [date] meet - see
A: See
Q: have a conversation with
A: Is it meet or see?
[Opposing lawyer: Wait a minute.  Let him finish the question]
Q: Do we need to get a dictionary out?
[Some colloquy with opposing lawyer follows]
A: Sorry could you please rephrase your question
Q: Yes
Q: In [date] did you go to the offices of [place]
A: Yes
[Five pages of questions follows establishing his presence and the presence of X at location at the same time]
Q: During that time, did you have any contact with X?
A: Yes.

I'm taking it as a given that he pretends, each video, that he has never seen prepared foods before, and that each time he encounters one, it is "disgusting."

He's not wrong, per se; it's just that all foods are disgusting before they are prepared for consumption.  Carrots and taters, for instance, are both disgustingly dirty until you clean them.

Still, it is an amusing schtick, and I don't think it is intended as an actual serious food review.  I enjoyed it for what it was.

Google reveals that he was also on SVU once.

http://www.complex.com/music/2013/05/heres-every-line-that-2-chainz-said-on-law-and-order-svu-last-night

QuoteHere's Every Line That 2 Chainz Said on "Law and Order: SVU" Last Night

After weeks of teasing photos on Instagram, 2 Chainz appeared on last night's Law and Order: SVU and it was everything we hoped it would be, and more.

He guest starred as Calvin "Pearlie" Jones, an old member of this week's suspect's crew—and more importantly, a perp from Detective Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola's (aka Ice-T) past life in narcotics.

The clip is less than two minutes long but hey, we get to watch 2 Chainz get grilled by detectives while getting a massage. La La Anthony makes a cameo in the episode, as well.

Here's every line uttered by Tity during his guest appearance:

"Aw, yeah."

"Right there, I like that."

"What the?!"

"Aw, hell no."

"I got sciatica."

"Come on, man, you know I can't carry, I'm on parole."

"Whatever it was, I told that bitch I wasn't interested, bruh."

"Dude is crazy."

"Crazy enough!"

"You come in here and want to bust me for a gun you planted? Man, do your thing, dog."

"God damn!"

"You want me to talk?

"Listen, this man will peel my face off, sew it on to a soccer ball, and kick it into my mother's yard, so you might want to go ahead and shoot me because I ain't no snitch."


There you have it—2 Chainz's TV drama debut, a marked improvement from his cameo on 2 Broke Girls. Hopefully he gets that sciatica checked out, stat.

He partnered with a production company called Prairie Aerial, which works with drones. The view of the American heartland has attracted almost 1 million Youtube views. We hope you enjoy the show!

Hurl.

"The first cephalopod known to burrow (other species dig into the seabed), the southern sand octopus creates its new home by jet spraying the soft sand with water and sliding its tentacles inside. It then pulls its body underneath the sand via its arms, leaving two tentacles breaching the surface in order to create a chimney to breathe. Finally, it excretes a layer of mucus to keep the walls of its burrow intact.

The sand octopus lives in its burrow during the day to avoid predators and emerges at night to hunt and feed."

Blankets only work if you're not using them to fan the flames.  That guy could figure out a way to spread the flames with the fire extinguisher.

If my wikifu is correct, it's this guy, a new judge. He just kind of sits there on the end with a wry smile like he was above the whole thing. Seemed to be slightly amused, but not really into it. For some reason I could just picture him being the designated judge of the four to rip into poor performers. Maybe I'm just projecting. After all, I did see just the one audition.

QuoteASTRONAUT

Today, you are an Astronaut. You are floating in inner space 100 miles above the surface of Earth. You peer through your window and this is what you see. You are people watching. These are fleeting moments.

These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen by anyone but YOU.

The Astronaut video stream starts when you press GO. Videos change periodically. If you wish to linger, tap the button.

Over the last few days I've been watching a fair bit of videos from Lost in Vegas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJPOmOZzDxZZxPWFgeE50hQ

The concept: two black hip hop heads from LV check out music from outside their comfort zone, mostly metal and country. Reaction channels are a dime a dozen, but these two stand out for me with their overall positivity and how openly they approach these songs, and over the past year (if you compare their old to their new videos) their critiques have become pretty good and actually made me go and check out some country artists (why is country music so depressing, btw? :P ). :D

I thought the same thing.  My guess is they roll up all mail and put a rubber band around it.  Besides, if one of the cute jumpers plunks in the water, there are more on the boat to continue the route.  :)

If I'm still in these parts come next summer I'd be honoured to meet you.

But there's so much to do at the Tankfest and to 'do' the museum properly is several hours easily, I think last time I spent a good 3-4 hours there and that was my 3rd or 4th visit down the years.
So I don't want to cramp someone's style / enjoyment if they've not been there before and want to take it all in.

Syt are you planning on doing one, two or three days of it?

I could just get a day ticket and meet up with you later in the day/afternoon depending on your schedule. All I have to do is cycle to the station, catch one/two trains and I'm at Wool, the nearest station to Bovington, which is a few more minutes of riding, a longish 2km walk or short cheap taxi journey.

I suspect that his capacity for putting out awesome videos is pretty closely related to the fact that he only puts out a video every few months. If he wanted, he could probably do 1 a month at the same level of quality, but I'm rather happy with his current output.

If you want a shorter, more Britisher presenter that's not quite as high quality, but does similar subjects in interesting ways, see Tom Scott: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBa659QWEk1AI4Tg--mrJ2A

Neat! My understanding of that battle is that one of the main effects of archery on the French men at arms on foot was that it forced them to keep their helmets buttoned up, which made it impossible for them to see what was happening around them and difficult to breathe while tramping through mud to the line of English men at arms - so they got exhausted and bunched up. When the archers attached their flanks with clubs and swords, the battle became a massacre. 

That, and of course in some places the arrows would get through the armour with a lucky hit.

I'm a physics/math dummy, so this is a serious question...

Would a high-angle arcing shot, as compared to what they did in this test, give the arrow more force when it hits a target, or less?

I would assume less.

Say you fire a bow directly into the sky. That would trade mechanical energy (from the bow) for potential energy (from the arrow being high in the sky then falling back to earth under gravity). In atmosphere, you will lose a lot of energy due to wind resistance, so the arrow falling to earth will have less energy than when it was shot right out of the bow. So your best bet to maximize force on impact would be as direct a shot as possible.

Where you may get an advantage in an arcing shot is that the angle at which the arrows come down may exploit weaknesses in the armour. Though in the video, they claim to have proof that the actual archers at Agincourt mostly shot directly, and not with arcing shots.

QuoteIn our terrestrial view of things, the speed of light seems incredibly fast. But as soon as you view it against the vast distances of the universe, it's unfortunately very slow. This animation illustrates, in realtime, the journey of a photon of light emitted from the surface of the sun and traveling across a portion of the solar system, from a human perspective.

I've taken liberties with certain things like the alignment of planets and asteroids, as well as ignoring the laws of relativity concerning what a photon actually "sees" or how time is experienced at the speed of light, but overall I've kept the size and distances of all the objects as accurate as possible. I also decided to end the animation just past Jupiter as I wanted to keep the running length below an hour.

True: "hearsay" is a meaningless term outside of a legal setting (where it means something like 'any statement, written or oral, made outside of court and introduced into evidence in court for the proof of that statement' - usually but not always inadmissible). Probably what he meant to say was 'not reliable, an urban myth', though the reliability of oral history varies greatly with context.

QuoteYouTube's War on History

YouTube's aggressive moves against hate speech are hitting genuine, high quality educational content in the crossfire by removing monetisation opportunities.

"Just today, we learned that 250 of our videos had been retroactively demonetised without notice. These arbitrary rules can change any day and can be applied at will to existing content, it seems History is not welcome on these platforms anymore."
Florian Wittig, CEO at Real Time History.


Real Time History is responding to YouTube's current policies by asking their community for support either through Patreon and crowdfunding. Their current campaign entitled '16 Days In Berlin' has so far achieved 180% of its target on Indiegogo for a new documentary about the final battle of World War 2 in Europe.

"Archive footage we use depicts historical scenes from humanity's darkest days and as such feature iconography that is frowned upon on the by advertisers and platforms like Facebook and YouTube. There's no regard given to the context and that we are an educational channel teaching history and have been doing that for more than five years now!"

Real Time History has also teamed up with several high profile history YouTubers with a collective reach of 3M, and the film will be made available on their platform in April 2020, 75 years after the Battle of Berlin took place.

Everybody should go back that 16 days in Berlin project by the way. Youtube, and the internet, has shown me that while Hollywood and Cable TV have done an uneven job at public history education there is real possibility in these small companies giving historians and experts employment to do this kind of high quality work.

Too bad Youtube sees no value in it.

I presume you're following the corresponding WW2 channel, then? They're in 1940 atm. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP1AejCL4DA7jYkZAELRhHQ

We used to have a weekly show like this in Germany, basically called "40 years ago" which ran from the 80s till 2000 and showed a newsreel from 40 years ago plus historical commentary.

The public broadcaster ARD in Germany has been rebroadcasting their main news from 20 years ago since the early 90s. It's been weird, because it first covered 1970s events when I watched it and is now well within territory when I was already an adult (I catch one online every once in a while).

Former jewel thief reviews heist movies.  It's a long clip and it's not that great.  I'm just posting because he mentioned one thing I was totally unaware of (haven't confirmed it yet).  He says all bank doors have height markings on the inside, so they can tell from the video how tall the robbers were.

Those markings are very common in stores etc in Sweden.

Very common here too.  Normally tops out at 6'5'' so I am safe

Excellent series of BBC interviews re: PrinceAndrewgate.  The plaintiff's attorney, a historian, and a former head of protective services.

At the very end I got the impression the presenter just cut short the former head of PS because he was going too far into "bring the government down" kind of talk.  :ph34r:

Argument in defense of the US decision to focus on and continue production of the M4 in the face of evidence of its inferiority in armament and armor.   Kind of a systems analysis look at the question.  I thought it made sense.

I've seen that Blender is on Steam and installed it (it's free, after all).

I looked around for tutorials and have settled on Blender Guru's for now. He has a detailed tutorial that goes from basic to more advanced stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEaoINr3zgEq0u2MzVgAaHEBt--xLB6U

I've finished the first part which leaves me with a basic donut. The next chapters add textures, sprinkles, a cup of coffee etc. Rather enjoying this (I've always been interested in 3D modeling, but never made much of an effort to really get into it). I was stumped a few times, but usually there's comments from people who ran into similar issues and explain how to fix them in the comments.

The result so far. Basic, but quite happy with the result so far. :)

I love it of course as that is my team and my era of going to the match every weekend.
Though I think its quite interesting even apart from that due to the era in which it is set, 1997, being in that bridge between the old world of working class football and the multi billion industry of today, especially in teams like Sunderland.

I am. It is pretty good so far but the war is still kind of limited so I don't know if it will hold up as well when the war gets really enormous. While he touches a lot on the Sino-Japanese War it is a bit weird since we enter it 2 years in so how we got to the massive stalement we find ourselves in in 1939 is not really adequately explained, though he did have an episode about that in the Between Two Wars series.

Yeah the Between Two Wars show. Yes we got one episode on it but not the week by week treatment. How and why the battle lines got frozen where they were in September 1939 is only vaguely explained.

The WWII show does really hit home how bloody and futile and just generally demoralizing the endless meatgrinder in China was to both sides though.

Well, it's the eternal debate about when did WWII start exactly, and being a western-centric product, it puts the start in 1939, rather than 1937.  :P

The head of the German Tank Museum, Ralf Raths, is somewhat unpopular with some of the Wehraboos who complain about a "young" guy (he's born in '77) with long hair running the museum, and that he "badmouths" (i.e. doesn't glorify) the German Panzerwaffe/Wehrmacht but rather sticks to facts and evidence in his YouTube videos and book reviews.

With his intro showing him "working from home" for the announcement that the museum reopens (with Corona rules in place) I'm sure he's trolling that segment:

Nanowar (of Steel) are awesome, but you need to know a lot about Italy and its society to get many of their jokes.

I take it that you're familiar with Norwegian Reggaeton already?  :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0YXfeNxJJ0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0YXfeNxJJ0)

It's not in every song, and many are more "International" and less local, and more focused on general nerdiness, but some of them (mainly the ones in Italian, maybe?) need some proficiency in Italian pop culture and present events.

Haha, that one was I believe their first big budget video, so to speak, prior to that their videos had a much more lo-fi ting to them. If you're going through their catalogue you might have seen that already.  :P

You get to learn quite a lot of interesting things, and contrary to what it might seem, he's quite ok with many of them, and the careers of some of the artists are fascinating. Also, it's really fun to see an American reviewing Eurodance hits from the 90s.  :lol:  Here are some of the ones he's done so far:

Yeah. Unfortunately there's been a lot of drama around channel management who were, by all accounts, idiots/dicks. Best to stay away from that drama. I'd also highly recommend Linkara (comics) Obscurus Lupa (cheesy movies and TV), and Filmbrain (movies). Oh, and Oancitizen for arthouse movies.

One of the darker aspects was the case of Jewario, a fan favorite, who ended up shooting himself. Only years later did it come out that he was also grooming and molesting teenage girls he'd meet at conventions and that management covered for him. By all accounts, the site management was a shitshow, and it's now only Brad Jones (CinemaSnob) and the the original Walker brothers left on the site. It's a hot button topic for most former members of the site.

I know but really was it that surprising it was horribly mismanaged? A bunch of 20-somethings getting together and cultivating their own fanbases. The Walkers were really in over their heads.

A channel I follow is Whang! who mostly explains/researches old internet stories, viral content and memes (90s/00s). Quite entertaining to be reminded of some of the stuff, but warning: he also handles some gross out stuff (like My Little Pony Cum Jars which were apparently a thing :x ). I appreciate his use of SNES music in his videos (esp. from Shadowrun). :lol:

Anyways, one of the stories he follows is "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet", a tape recording from the early 80s from my old home radio station NDR with an unknown darkwave song that people try to identify. He just released his 2nd update on the status of the search. :D

I've never understood the hate against passive voice.  All the arguments against it always seemed no more logical than "well...because!"

Passive sentences can be terribly confusing when you are waiting to find out what or who the actor in the sentence is.   His examples, are a good reminder that active voice can also be confusing when trying to communicate a narrative.

Passive voices isn't hated, it is simply warned against.  Passive voice places the emphasis on the actor, not the action or object.  That's okay when the author wants to convey that: "the murderer was Nero" places the emphasis on Nero, not murderer.  We already knew that there was a murder, we just didn't know who it was.  Passive voice is inappropriate when the emphasis isn't on the actor, and can allow the actor to be skipped entirely.  "Nero fled and was immediately pursued" doesn't say anything about the pursuit, which is what the reader would want to know about; the reader already knows that Nero is a murderer and so presumably would be pursued.

My grammar lessons are a bit rusty, but I think "a murderer was Nero" is not passive voice, but just reversing the order of subject and object without changing their grammatical role? And passive voice would be "Nero was murdered"? :unsure:

You are correct.  I originally had someone getting killed by Nero, but the changed it to murdered and botched the whole thing in the process.  "Don't talk grammar when tired" was the takeaway for me.

you are right, this is a gem! :P

I won't dispute the historical innacuracies of Gods&Generals (I can't remember exactly what/where), I certainly can't dispute that it came off as a movie promoting the idea of the Lost Cause and was totally inferior to the gem that is Gettysburg, but I will point that the Director's cut of the movie is infinately better than the theatrical cut (yes, the bar was low, but the movie is imho better and a tad more balanced than it originally was, though again, it ain't saying much ;) ).

If you haven't seen this version, I highly recommend it.  I bought a blu-ray package containing both extended versions on Amazon.ca but I can't find it now on Amazon US, only the individual movies:
Gods and Generals extended Director's cut (https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Generals-Extended-Directors-Blu-ray/dp/B005NFJAYE/ref=sr_1_1?crid=PG3CMLA5B05D&dchild=1&keywords=gettysburg+gods+and+generals+blu+ray&qid=1593918295&sprefix=Gods+%26+Generals+%2F+Gettysburg+%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1)

Samurai Sword Master Rates 10 Japanese Sword Scenes In Movies And TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMmLRJYdQlQ

QuoteKaito Suiju is master of the Hisui school of battōjutsu and instructor at Hisui Tokyo. He has been teaching katana sword fighting for decades and is of samurai descent. Master Suiju rates the realism of katana sword scenes in movies, including skills of actors, the way they hold and train with the swords, as well as the choreography of fights. He also debunks some of the commonly-accepted myths and legends around samurai history and culture, and points out where Hollywood gets it wrong. During the video Master Suiju demonstrates the correct method of how to grip and move with a katana sword, as well as talking us through the different parts of the sword.

Master Suiju rates Japanese-language movies including "Harakiri" (1962), "Yojimbo" (1961), "13 Assassins" (2010), "The Sword of Doom" (1966), "Rurouni Kenshin Part I: Origins" (2012) as well as anime such as "Samurai Champloo" (2004).

And Hollywood movies such as "John Wick Chapter 3 - Parrabellum" (2019),"The Last Samurai" (2003) and Kill Bill Vol.1 (2003). He also looks at a fight between Maeve (Thandi Newton) and Musashi (Hiroyuki Sanada) in HBO's "Westworld" (2020).

Not really YouTube, but it didn't really fit into the games thread, either, and we don't have an ARMA thread. :P

By chance I came across the streams of a group of German ARMA3 players: https://airborne-division.de/airborne/

The roleplay as members of the 101st Airborne and play missions in large groups. Normally modern day, but yesterday they had a WW2 event where they, as members of the 101st had to advance through a woodland area with some small villages and clear them from hostiles. There were 70-80 participants, divided into (understrength?) platoons, squads, etc. A few Americans also joined, and with language being an issue, they formed the scouting element (with one German as radio guy).

This being WW2, there were few radios (they used one per platoon, I think, with a dedicated radioman), plus the scout troop. Otherwise it was just voice communications within hearing range (meaning a lot of passing on orders along the line, and sending runners to relay orders). Additionally, they didn't use the in game maps, relying on hand drawn maps the organizer had prepared, adding some challenge to navigating terrain or relaying positions of hostiles (or themselves). The most "gamey" concession they made was that if you "died" you would wake up after a while and your medics could nurse you back to health. Even so, near the end of the scenario medics had run out of most first aid materials, so some soldiers remained wounded, limping, etc.

I initially came across a guy that was a simple rifleman in the line, on the far left flank. The whole unit advanced in formation, and his view was relatively uneventful (until about half way into the 4 hour mission), but it also was quite interesting, even though much of it was getting commands to adjust formation, close up, spread out, further left, etc. His squad was ordered to hold the left flank, while the center elements were clearing a village. He was at the edge of the woods, looking into a small valley towards another wooded ridge. There was a lot of shooting going on somewhere in those woods and village, but they saw nothing of it, and had no idea what was actually happening. Some stray bullets came their way, but that was it. At some point the shooting stopped and they advanced again. It was surprisingly tense.

I later put on two more streams in parallel to the rifle guy's. One was his platoon sergeant, the other was the recon squad. It was quite interesting to see how each handled their tasks (the sergeant by far being the busiest one, making sure his squads were doing as the should, and keeping them safe), using squad tactics, and how a lull for one element could over lap with frenzied action for another group. Near the end the unit ran into a King Tiger that gave them a lot of trouble till they brought their anti tank team in. Seeing this from various angles was surprisingly captivating.

The whole thing was one of the most :nerd: things I've seen in a while on Twitch, but it was quite captivating to see. It would be cool to do one of these at some point, but I'm not sure I want to invest the time in their tight training regimen. :D

P.S.: Earlier this year they did a WW2 winter scenario, it seems:

More screenshots from their missions are here: https://airborne-division.de/community/forum/board/28-verlauf/

(though they do some mundane stuff - like mission "Arrival": "Today we relocate into our new area of operations. We will familiarize ourselves with the situation, move into our new quarters, and take over our new equipment. Afterwards we will patrol a nearby village.")

I don't see any buildings, but it just looked like it was taking place in some far off eastern european area not in the Ardennes, but then it is not like I have explored the entire Ardennes.

This is great. We need more Latin covers. The pronounciation is on point, but there are some mistakes in the translation, like:

0:31 "Para pilis" should be "para pila", "trahere" means "to drag" and i never saw it i nthe context of "to bring". instead i would use "affere" or "ferre"
0:43 "O non" -> there is no "no" in Latin. I would use the intejection "Vae", which basically means "oh no".
0:49 "parvus" means "small" and not low. I would rather use the word "humilis" here with "quam" -> Quam humiliter? = how low?
1:05 "Me sentio" is used with double accusative, so it should be "Me sentio agrum, stultum", also "aeger" means sick. Contagious means "contagiosus"
1:38 "peior" means "worse". Instead the superlative "pessima" should be used, or, to convey similar meaning "nimis mala"
1:44 "Ipso munere" means "the gift itself", the translator propbably confused it with "isto" which means "this"
2:49 "ut" here should be used with a subjunctive in order to convey a final clause "in order to laugh". So it should be "ut rideam". If your goal was however to translate "how to laugh", ut is the wrong "how". Rather "quomodo" should be used. So "quomodo rideatur, puto".
2:54 "durum" means hard, but in a physical way, like for example "a hard wall". If it is hard as in "difficult", you should use "dificilis"

sorry for being so picky, but I'm a Latin fanatic so its very important to me. If you ever do another Latin cover, I will gladly look over the lyrics for you and scan for mistakes.
That being said, i still love your work and im looking forward to your future cover

If it's about the trilled r, then they are wrong. The uvular r, commonly thought nowadays of French r dates from Louis XIV. "ll" not pronounced as nowadays as well.
Estoit in pronouncing the s is correct but oi as nowadays French [wa] or even [we) till the 18th century or in some archaic dialects. "oi" was also possibly pronounced as [e] as in œcuménique (proper pronunciation). In Old French, the i could be there to nasalise the previous vowel. This unreformed spelling still finds its way in oignon where the i is silent.

There is definitely an Anglo accent however but is far from the worse or even the average anglo accent. It's not far from the best attempts of In Extremo in their full medieval period. Attempts which occasionally were faulty.

I'd say the Latin pronunciation in the previous song is much better, as in good Erasmian and not that awful Church Latin.

PS: comments mention a Cajun/Acadien vibe and there is some of it as in Anglo pronouncing French.

In the 70s(?) and 80s, German TV station ZDF had this intro for late night horror/sci-fi movies. It scared the bejeezus out of me at the time. The sequence was designed by Heinz Edelmann who was also the art director on The Beatles' Yellow Submarine.

Yes, it is basically Shattered Sword with graphics.  The one thing that he failed to point out, though, was that the Japanese plane that spotted TF 17 wasn't supposed to get to that position for another hour (the pilot turned back early).  Without that, Nagumo wouldn't have had his dilemma.

This guy has been posting on reddit. Apparently he recently got a camera with binaural microphones and has started recording walks in Vienna. No commentary, just the ambient sounds. So far he has taken a stroll from Westbahnhof down Mariahilfer Straße (the main shopping street), a stroll around Stephansplatz/St. Stephens, and a walk from the new Hauptbahnhof and its area of new office buildings through the 4th District and its side streets. The videos are about half an hour long.

As Finnish came up in the Trump thread a weird flashback of my earliest exposure to Finnish. When I was a kid and we would take the bus to the next biggest town for going to the department store (later this would take me to advanced school and work), the bus would pass through Hohenlockstedt, formerly Lockstedter Lager, and past this sign:

(https://images.cdn.yle.fi/image/upload/f_auto,fl_progressive/q_88/w_3200/w_2090,h_1175,c_crop,x_415,y_75/w_500/v1518429268/39-4636045a81641a0ea25.jpg)

It points the way to the memorial for the Finnish Jägers who were trained in Lockstedter Lager during WW1 and who would go on to play an important role in the Finnish fight for independence. There's an annual ceremony with a Finnish dignitary and a representative of the German military and politicians to commemorate this.

What I didn't know is that the town of Kellinghusen where I grew up also holds a memorial these days for some of the Finnish soldiers who died of disease during their training and who were buried there (in the WW1 section of the main cemetery): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po-LmdGiVD8

This would be a lot more convincing if the author actually knew what fascism was, rather than creating a new definition for fascism so that he could call MAGA fascist.  MAGA is a lot of bad things, but it does not exalt the race or nation over the individual, one of the key defining ideas of fascism.  His "fascism" is what knowledgeable people call "paleoconservatism."  MAGA is very close to being paleoconservatism, except for the Imperial Presidency desires.

Without having watched the video, how is a movement that literally has as its motto "Make America Great Again" not exalt the nation above the individual? I've definitely seen some academics discussing Trumpism and Fascism as close enough to warrant debate and discussion.

Sure, debate and discussion.  Not blanket condemnation as fascism on no better grounds than "they are the other side and so must be evil."

Unlike you, I've never met "most patriots," so cannot tell you what they think, but I can say that many people considered patriots wanted to see their country improved.  Martin Luther King Jr was certainly a patriot, but also certain that his country was not great:
QuoteLet us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

The concept that the past included an "imaginary golden age" has been a feature of conservatism since at least the days of the Roman Republic, long before the creation of fascism.
Title: Re: Youtube Recommendations
Post by: Valmy on August 27, 2020, 02:23:54 PM
I think restoring a mystical golden age, ruined by leftwing degenerates, via a great leader is pretty close to fascism even if this particular brand may not literally be.

The fact that this is kind of adjacent to typical right wing thinking is why fascistic type movements often emerge from the right (and often include more traditional right wing allies), even thought they often differ very substantially from typical conservative right wing thinking.

However you are correct that often patriots may want the ideals of the nation to be more fully realized I concede.

Then you have to throw in a personal attack and sarcastic quotes in there. I am not sure why you felt the need to do that, I feel like I made some good points there.

Instead they made a cool little video with a drone flight through and around the Hofburg (they make it looks like Pres. van der Bellen is piloting it, but I sincerely doubt he did :lol: ).

Tyr never watched the video so is just spouting nonsense.  The "gunk" is starch, which is what rice is, as well.  If you want sticky rice, don't rinse.  If you want separated rice, rinse.  I usually rinse, myself, but then I don't eat with chopsticks so don't need the rice to be sticky.

What Tyr finds in his rice isn't relevant, except as a warning not to buy your rice from whatever cheapass outfit he buys from.

Are we seriously debating whether or not Tyr found something in his rice?  :lol:

This. Is. Languish.

At least he didn't find any ants.

Giant Ants?

If Lee had those Giant Ants from Tyr's rice make the charge up Cemetery Ridge...could the Confederacy have won at Gettysburg?

Watch the bloody video people. It's literally in the opening seconds he says washing rice isn't as common in the US as elswhere.
I've always taken it as a given that you wash rice so it's a surprise that in America this isn't done.

Me and rice... I eat it a fair bit. Not as much as I used to but as with most things that keep well it's best to buy in bulk.

I think what everyone here is trying to ascertain is the timing of Tyr's shock.  Was he shocked at the beginning of the video or at the end? 

It's conceivable that his shock came at the beginning of the video, and did not dissipate before he made his post.  Sometimes it takes time to process videos, especially about matters that have an emotional impact like shock on you. 

If Tyr did watch the video, and only at the end did he start being shocked by it, then it's far less excusable.

It is really the only explanation for how someone could miss the fact that the video went in a completely different direction after the first few seconds.

I have to admit that my reaction was different because I don't wash rice.  I thought, oh crap, do I need to wash rice and then the confirmation came - nope all good.

The Netherlands has the highest wealth inequality in the world.

tldnw: In the Netherlands you can borrow 110% of the value of a home, so lots of people have negative net worth.  Plus Euro style dynasties tend to keep family wealth concentrated in the heir.

tldnw: In the Netherlands you can borrow 110% of the value of a home, so lots of people have negative net worth.  Plus Euro style dynasties tend to keep family wealth concentrated in the heir.

You gotta wonder when the video is titled "How The Dutch Economy Shows We Can't Reduce Wealth Inequality With Taxes."  Of course, the Netherlands does not show that at all.  In fact, this video is premised on something very unlikely to be true:  that the Netherlands is the most unequal country in the word in terms of wealth distribution.  This appears to be true from the 2019 data, but in the 2018 GINI wealth data it is #71, and in 2008 #125 (of 170 countries).

GINI data in the table here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_equality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_equality)

So wealth inequality seems to be rising in the Netherlands, but the 2019 data is way out of line with the historical data.  The reason seems to be a change in the Dutch government's estimate of the hidden economy, which the government admits is a preliminary estimate, not a final number.  Of course, to compare the Netherlands to other countries, you have to make the same assumptions about their hidden economies.

TLR Version:  don't believe videos that seem to be making claims that go against common sense, without checking out the data.  They could easily be just pursuing an agenda with cherry-picked evidence.

Nah. We have very high private debt, yes. But this video is more than a little misleading.

Quotetldnw: In the Netherlands you can borrow 110% of the value of a home
Not true, and hasn't been for nearly a decade. But it is possible to borrow 100%.

Quote, so lots of people have negative net worth. 
The number has been falling in recent years, but I suppose most young people with students loans and/or a recently bought home will have negative worth.

QuotePlus Euro style dynasties tend to keep family wealth concentrated in the heir.

I don't know if we have a lot of dynasties. There's some old money for sure but I doubt it would affect nationwide numbers. And the 20% inheritance tax takes a fair chunk out of it.
Inheritance is equal parts among children by law. Even if disinherited they can still claim part of the inheritance.


Also from the video:
Tax deduction on mortgages is being phased out. And you can only deduct taxes on your primary mortgage, the example of the landlord is incorrect.
The mortgage guarantee is not free of charge, and is only applicable to homes up to 250K or so.
And a big one: we have massive pension schemes that are not considered wealth. If you include those the numbers would be different.

QuoteAmerica is coming apart. An illegal immigration crisis has broken out along America's Southern border—there are race riots in Detroit—a fiery female rancher-turned-militia leader has vowed revenge on the president for his arrogant policies—and the world's most notorious terrorist is planning a massive attack that could destroy the United States as we know it. Meanwhile the President is too consumed by legacy-seeking to see our country's deep peril.

Brett Hawthorne is the youngest general in the United States Army—and he's stuck, alone, behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. He's the last lost soldier of a failed war, fighting to stay alive and make it back home—but will he be able to stop the collapse of America in time?

The point was that the cheerleading session in the Virginia Secession convention wasn't anything like it was in actuality with many walking out in protest and emotions running high on both sides. Instead they make it look like only a tiny minority of weirdos did not want to secede, rather than it actually eventually leading the state splitting up.

Reading about it seems like many officers of the South didn't want their State to secede, but once done, they could not resolve themselves to fight against their neighbors & families.

Do you think the Northerners rallied behind the great cause of freeing all the slaves?  They all happily marched south to liberate them black folks from the injustice of them being considered unequal to white folks?

Look, people were raised/educated to consider blacks as an inferior "species", even in the North, not many people considered them equal, or were willing to see black families living next door to them.  You got to put things in proper context too.  It's morally abject to think so today, it wasn't back then.

I think all in all, Gods&Generals did a good job of presenting what the characters thought of themselves.  It made so in a really boring way, but it's insightful.  I never got the feeling the civil war happened because of a couple of weirdos on both sides from this movie, I never got the feeling Stonewall Jackson was a great misunderstood character full of love&empathy for his black brethren.  I guess they should have presented Lee as some kind of flesh eating monster to satisfy the sensibilities of a modern audience?  If so, I highly recommend Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, it might be a better movie for such inclined audience.

Back then, people had a choice of fighting against their home or fighting for their country.  It's not something trivial.  You may hate Texas and most of your people, but your reaction would be different if all your family&friends were concentrated there.  Try to understand that instead of seeing every non pro-Union sentiment as nazism.

Finally, there's a difference between a bad, boring movie and a piece of propaganda.  Gone with the wind is an excellent movie, but it's very close to propaganda.  Gods&General is a bad movie, not something I'd show to my friends, but it's far from propaganda.  It's mostly disappointing because it follows Gettysburg, by the same author, which was a great movie.

Sure. The Unionists had to eventually come down on one side or the other. Jubal Early went from being a Unionist to being the fanatical leader of the Lost Causers. Others went radically in the other direction to the point even I think they were being a little unreasonable :lol: But we are talking about during the actual secession convention. Remember Virginia had met earlier that year and had voted to stay in the Union. They met again after Fort Sumpter and, despite it being contentious, voted to secede the second time but the way it is shown in the film is really boring and not historically accurate at all...which is just one of many scenes that suck and thus why the movie sucks

QuoteDo you think the Northerners rallied behind the great cause of freeing all the slaves?  They all happily marched south to liberate them black folks from the injustice of them being considered unequal to white folks?

Please provide me the evidence I think this. While there were abolitionists, which for some reason people making this stupid argument just pretend did not exist as if all the yankees were this hive mind, the majority did at least agree that slavery should not exist anywhere outside the Southern States which was why they voted for the Republican Party. But even many the Democrats, and those who were open to slavery spreading into territories where people wanted it, were angry about the actions of the Southerners. I think it is perfectly consistent to believe all of those things, even abolitionism, while still endorsing and supporting white supremacy.

QuoteLook, people were raised/educated to consider blacks as an inferior "species", even in the North, not many people considered them equal, or were willing to see black families living next door to them.  You got to put things in proper context too.  It's morally abject to think so today, it wasn't back then.

Yet Gods&Generals did not do this at all. In fact it did just the opposite and presented the Confederate Generals as being abolitionists with views designed to make them appealing to modern audiences. Gettysburg also did this in one cringey line, and hey I like James Longstreet as much as the next guy but come on. And G&G makes it worse by having all the black characters being so sympathetic to the southerners and their cause. Yes some certainly felt that way but at least have a few who felt differently.

QuoteI think all in all, Gods&Generals did a good job of presenting what the characters thought of themselves.

They did a good presenting what this director thought we should think of the characters, as figures with admirable 21st century values fighting for honor who wanted to free all the slaves despite fighting for the South.

QuoteIt made so in a really boring way, but it's insightful.  I never got the feeling the civil war happened because of a couple of weirdos on both sides from this movie, I never got the feeling Stonewall Jackson was a great misunderstood character full of love&empathy for his black brethren.

I am glad you got that feeling, but the movie said the opposite.

QuoteI guess they should have presented Lee as some kind of flesh eating monster to satisfy the sensibilities of a modern audience?  If so, I highly recommend Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, it might be a better movie for such inclined audience.

I don't think so but they can have northerners saying "Darkies" they might have at least touched on how different they were from us a little bit.

QuoteBack then, people had a choice of fighting against their home or fighting for their country.  It's not something trivial.  You may hate Texas and most of your people, but your reaction would be different if all your family&friends were concentrated there.  Try to understand that instead of seeing every non pro-Union sentiment as nazism.

What the flying fuck are you talking about? I love Texas and I love all of "my people" and I even love those guys who were pro-slavery and fought for the Confederacy. They were human beings and I am descended from them. But they weren't glowing balls of light either, their feelings were based on irrational fear and propaganda (and in some cases cynical self interest). But then whose aren't entirely not influenced by that kind of thing?

QuoteFinally, there's a difference between a bad, boring movie and a piece of propaganda.  Gone with the wind is an excellent movie, but it's very close to propaganda.  Gods&General is a bad movie, not something I'd show to my friends, but it's far from propaganda.  It's mostly disappointing because it follows Gettysburg, by the same author, which was a great movie.

It had inaccurate scenes that seemed weirdly and pointlessly pro-South. As if that many people are carrying a torch for the Confederacy that they need to be pandered to. I don't really care why they were but that is not a great way to get me to like your film. A sanctimonious film making all northerners appearing to be saintly figures would also be obnoxious.

Let me remind you that, according to letters and writings by the southerners themselves, they were 100% sure that if the slaves were freed they would murder them all Haiti-style. They would not be so casually saying they should free all the slaves.

I don't quite get all the hatred about God&Generals.  It's a boring movie, but I don't see it as championing the Lost Cause myth.  It simply makes the characters express themselves, express what they thought at the time, I never see it as imposing this view as the absolute truth on me.  I don't find it quite radical that people born&raised in a slave society's resent being told what to do with what they consider as no more than cows. 

I guess you could have them all being tortured souls or demons, that would please the modern crowd, but it would be just as bad.

The issue is not how the movie portrays the main characters and what they think, it is about how it portrays the actual reality of the world they lived in.

So no, making them all "tortured souls" would not fix this - so far as I am aware, they were not all that tortured anyway. They mostly thought their beliefs about slavery were noble and right.

But that doesn't mean you get a pass because you are just repeating what some figure thought, if at the same time you rather pointedly do NOT include the reality behind what they thought. If the only thing you know about the ACW is that the south had a bunch of people who claimed they fought for states rights and said slavery was fine and why, the black people never had it so good...and didn't actually show that the first claim is a lie, and the second observation just fucking untrue and horrifying, then in fact you probably are engaged in propaganda.

You are only presenting one particular viewpoint on a controversial subject, and in this case, a viewpoint that serious historians have largely dismissed as total bullshit.

Exactly.

Could you imagine a ACW film that focused on the Union, and all the generals were all "We must fight to free our equal black brothers from slavery!" and every Union soldier was waxing on about how they were on a quest from god to bring equal rights, the vote, and equal opportunity to black people?

It would be ludicrous and roundly mocked by anyone who knows the truth. Most norther soldiers fought to preserve the Union, or simply because they were drafted. I am sure some of them had an opinion about slavery, probably even most opposed it - but that did not make them anti-racist. There is a lot of space between "Lets enslave them" and "They are equal"!

Just look how a movie like "Glory" portrays those fighting for the Union. Sure, there were definitely out and out "balls of light" abolitionists, but most of them were a rather mixed bag morally, at least by modern standards. And even the "best" of them morally were pretty sketchy by our standards.

A look at the Star Wars FPS games from Dark Forces to Jedi Academy: https://youtu.be/MMAYCB3b7rY
I thought it was fine but I found it a fair bit blander than some of his other videos and series examinations.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 Vs. Joseph Campbell: https://youtu.be/OI2iOB8ydGo
QuoteThis is a focused retrospective and critique of both of the older Knights of the Old Republic CRPGs from Bioware and Obsidian. It looks to how they interface with the Monomyth template as originally laid down in 1949 by Joseph Campbell in The Hero With a Thousand Faces, one game conforming exactly to it and the next game violently rejecting the entire premise. It also discusses how Campbell's monomyth influenced the philosophies of the Jedi and Sith more than George Lucas might care to admit. Spoilers throughout.
I'm watching this one right now. He is aware that the monomyth while still widely used in pop culture, has been reassessed and lost some influence among theorists in recent years.

George Lucas had Campbell staying at his house during the writing of Star Wars and always acknowledged his own debt to the monomyth.

I'm not sure who the "theorists" are that have lost interest in the monomyth.  It was never accepted as the only way to describe myths (and I'm not sure Campbell actually believed that himself; he was always referring to a specific type of myth), but I don't think that the objections to it are any more popular now than in the past.

I think that the objections to Campbell come more from his appearance in The Power of Myth than in his writings.

It's not exactly the same thing, but there's a magazine and associated youtube channel called "Italia Squisita" that shows famous Italian cooks from both traditional and modern restaurants teaching how to make their recipes in a quite understandable way. It is in Italian but there are English subtitles.

They have plenty of different formats, and sometimes they'll put in the same video the "traditional" and the "modern" way of doing a famous Italian recipe, or how different chefs do the recipe, and I think it's good to see that Italian cooks are not as fundamentalist on the "proper" way of doing a certain recipe or as opposed to innovation as they might seem, although they also play a bit with that stereotype in certain videos, and most of the times the cooler recipes are the ones where you have a really old cook saying stuff like "this is the way we've done X in our restaurant since my grandparents' time".

Yeah, the comment that the average T-34 lasted like 36 hours once it reached the front, and only 12 hours in combat makes you realize that a really reliable transmission that will last a long time makes no damn sense.

When I saw the tank (and for a long time afterwards) I thought that the missing bolts were missing because the Soviets couldn't find enough good workers to put in all the bolts, and that therefor they were forced to send out tanks put together by people that didn't know how tanks were properly put together.  After seeing that presentation, the missing bolts make a lot more sense:  why put them in when the same worker can be putting in necessary bolts in the next tank.  Why change the plate to have less bolt holes when that would delay production (even if infitessimally) and the existing plates worked well enough.

The Soviet versus German approaches to AFV production is pretty much the poster child for "better is the enemy of good enough."

Glantz had a good summary of this:

The Germans treated their tanks as assets to be protected, fixed, recovered, and put back into service.

The soviets treated their tanks as ammunition. Something to be produced and expended.

I like it.  I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a WW2 Soviet tank recovery vehicle.  Surely they must have had some, to recover vehicles incapacitated by an easily-fixed problem that just couldn't be fixed in the field.

A video chronicling some of the more extreme challenges in the Dark Souls community, particularly the "no hit" runs over multiple games:

https://youtu.be/ppJi6uAstP4

The narrator is a bit bland and makes a few minor factual errors, but overall a decent summary (e.g. you don't need just dexterity for weapons, but each weapon has its own set of stat requirements, but the point is clear - you need to level up for more powerful gear).

Never liked watching Happy Hob (one of the runners), because he's a bit loud and brash for my tastes; I prefer chill streamers - Squillakilla is exactly that. Quiet, calm, smooth voice, perfect for having on in the background. :D

Dark Souls 1 has a mandatory death in the campaign that advances the story. Purist no hit runners will get around this by using a tricky jump in the area to skip that part of the game (though no hit runners otherwise won't use glitches or exploits unlike certain speed run categories).

Besides the no hit runs there's IMHO some harder challenges - e.g. these runs generally are all just taking on the mandatory bosses and skipping the optional ones. Squilla e.g. was going for no hit runs against all bosses for the DS trilogy,+ Bloodborne and there's also the no damage runs.

What's the difference between no hit and no damage? Two main reasons: in DS1-3 there's the Red Tearstone Ring (RTSR) which boosts damage if your life is low. In the video you see runners with low health in some boss fights - that's intentional to trigger the RTSR; usually it's triggered by carefully chosen falls that cause damage (since you can't let enemies hit you). However, in a no damage run ... additionally, there are areas in the games where you're expected to take some damage in a normal play through - poison swamps, some drops off ledges etc. So the runner has to go get items and certain spells to mitigate that damage.

On the one hand I admire these guys who do those challenges. On the other hand I find it troubling when people chase such runs for a year or so and commit a huge chunk of their lives to this. :D

But I am somewhat fascinated by these challenges and find people doing challenge runs in Dark Souls/Bloodborne games quite entertaining.

I never knew this existed and it's pretty cool.
Apparently in the early 1960s, Hugh Hefner was given a television show, called Playboy's Penthouse.
This aired on U.S. television, (so it's all SFW). It's basically Hugh inviting several pop culture people of the time into his "penthouse" and drinking, smoking and chewing the shit. Kind of like a talk/variety show.
It's interesting to me, as a window into early 60s pop culture. Also, it was fairly controversial because he had black people on. Several southern states refused to air it.

You can make an argument that Norm Macdonald was somewhat unrecognized or unappreciated (that moth joke, which I linked to two days ago, had me busting a gut), but agree he wouldn't even crack the top 10.

Interestingly, I just googled "best stand-up comedians" and found one list had him at #22, another at #20, and a third had him unranked (but went for a lot of older comedians the other lists ignored).

It's scary that I'm getting the same feed on Youtube that Berkut and grumbler do.  The admirals one I watched a couple of days ago, and I always watch Mentour's accident videos, as they tend to be far more insightful than Mayday.

That's actually a key to the background of the crash.  A non-Soviet person wouldn't really get the entire situation that led to the crash.

I am very confident that I would have gotten the situation just fine without that detail.

A bunch of admirals went shopping before heading home and told the pilot to STFU and fly the overloaded and poorly balanced plane, and they all died.

Yeah, the actual crash was nothing complicated, shitty planes that are overloaded and unbalanced aren't going to take off reliably, the context was everything about it.  Had I not been born to that world, I personally would've found it incomprehensible that a lot of VIPs would be stocking up on toilet paper and oranges to take home with them at the conclusion of their business trip.  As it was, my dad was doing the very same thing; every time he took a business trip to Moscow, I eagerly awaited his return, because he'd be back with bags of pretty basic goods that were nevertheless impossible to get in our town.

I hate videos like this.

I am 7 minutes in, and the narrator has not told me fucking anything yet other then that a plane crashed and a bunch of high ranking naval officers died. He has said that about 25 times in 12 different ways though.

Did you know that during all of WW2, only 4 admirals died? NO I DID NOT AND I DONT ACTUALLY CARE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED ALREADY!

That is, alas, how storytelling works.  You usually don't even learn who the killer is until the last 10% of the mystery story.

Over the last few days I've been binging Viva La Dirt League's Epic NPC Man series (skits about logic in MMOs/RPGs, set in the game of Skycraft and the world of Azerim).

If you like stuff like Door Monster (though I think these guys are better in terms of acting and the production quality in later seasons and their mini movie (don't ask) are becoming quite silly), I highly recommend checking them out. They put their skits into supercuts for easier viewing and someone made a handy playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaV2bHVOlYSDbo0JGghjISwfO3hH9jBav

A weird little time capsule: The MTV European Top 20 October 1993: https://youtu.be/ly-PNXxMI9Q

Some videos edited out, I guess to get around YouTube's content flags.

I watched MTV Europe excessively from 1992 till 1996 (or1997? whenever they went from free to a subscription channel), so between ages 16 and 20 ... good times. I think it was good because it exposed me to all kinds of music that you might not hear on the radio or see elsewhere (it was also when Bravo TV, a multiple hours long program by Germany's leading youth print magazine started) - I don't recall Enter Sandman or Smells Like Teen Spirit coming on the radio until years later on a few more niche stations popped up.

I mean it also exposed me to a lot of songs I now loathe, or came to loathe because of how much they overplayed them. But yeah, MTV's Most Wanted with Ray Cokes was fun, Beavis and Butthead were still new and interesting, and Headbangers Ball was the most important program for me (though they did play e.g. Sepultura during normal programming at the time).

Also, the Aerosmith videos with Alicia Silverstone  :wub: (yes, she's 16 in "Crying", but it's ok, she's 4 days older than me IRL :P )

I used to watch Musique Plus.  They had some good stuff sometimes, like this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtcD6JAZ6SY).

Solidrock was my favorite show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpT5t7AQt1U) on this channel :)


Interestingly (or not :P ), that dude, talking heavy metal everyweek and seeming to enjoy it decided to launch a musical carreer shortly after his tv show ended.

Also, it was a rough time if you weren't into dance pop or techno which dominated the singles charts at the time. Sure, MTV played grunge and alt rock and a bit of (mainstream) metal, but those were completely pushed to the sides for pop and techno (more so in later years), and ... well, see above which seemed to play once or twice every hour. :P

Germany also got its own music TV station, VIVA, in the 90s, too. It was massively popular, but it was almost exclusively focused on dance, pop, and techno, so while it was massively popular I barely watched it.  They were acquired by MTV in 2005 and shut down in 2018 (who watches music television anymore?).

A major reason why I loved my MTV ( :P ) was that it was one of the few programs I had that broadcast in English at the time.

I wasn't a huge radio consumer back then, for musical reasons.  In the late 90s, one controversial station appeared with rock&metal music being the main stuff that got played, in English and French.  Those where the good days :)

While playing Path of Exile I've head Preach's MMO Drama series on in the background. There's 9 seasons, but it's ok if you start with the latest (as I did):

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0j3zibAlFDv2kKlYw465mW1qTZotF4gq

In short, users write stories of their MMO - mostly WoW - drama to him (usually guild related, or messy dating relationships), and the stories range from hilarious to intensely cringe-worthy, and often both. Don't mind his shouty intro, the rest of the episode is not that way. How embellished the stories are is up for debate, obviously, but some do include screenshot proof of the story (or at least their side of it).

It's fun to see this stuff because it is right in my wheelhouse, but they should have talked to me first. 

The fact that they are calling this "realistic" is funny, given the canned scenario, weird OOB decisions, lack of knowledge about things like the Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS), and the lack of knowledge about how the US planned to defend the battle groups in this scenario.

First, the scenario is set in 1985, which means that there are only 3 Ticos commissioned, and this CVBG has two of them.  It has none of the roughly 30 other cruisers in the USN, no DDGs, and no Spruance class destroyers.  It has an over-abundance of OHP frigates.

The Nimitz had an air wing of 36 Tomcats and 30 Intruders for only a short time, and no USN carrier in the history of ever had 36 operational Tomcats available.  When the Nimitz operated 36 Tomcats it probably had 26 or so that could fly on a given day.  The F-14A was notoriously difficult to keep in service.  It would be far more realistic if they had a carrier with 24 Tomcats, with, say, 17 available.

It isn't unrealistic to think that a CVBG that was somehow caught in the Black Sea would be overwhelmed.  At short ranges like that, the Tu-22M could, indeed, carry 3 Kh-22 and, while they couldn't get 100 Tu-22Ms aloft, they could certainly get a regiment or two (probably about 30-60 operational aircraft) of them, with another maybe 2 or 3 regiments of other anti-ship bombers like the Badger to keep things lively.  There wouldn't likely be enough launch warning time to get the whole carrier fighter force in the air.  But the chances that the US would leave a CVBG in the Black Sea with tensions high is nil.

The US knew when the Soviet launched significant numbers of Backfires.  The heat signature was visible to the early warning satellites that were designed to detect ICBM launches.  Knowing the launch time and thus the time to target, the USN planned to have every fighter in the wing waiting for the Backfire beyond the Kh-22 launch range.  There would be no DLI; if it could fly, it was already airborne.  This was known as "the outer air battle."  The F-14s would not be carrying 6 Phoenix missiles, though (that was theoretically possible, but that loadout left no stations for fuel, and so was unsuitable for the OAB).  Also, the F-14 couldn't land with six Phoenix, so such a loadout would have to ditch two Phoenix if the raid turned back or targeted something else.  There weren't enough Phoenix missiles to allow that.

Missile engagements were not as the creators of this video suggest; no radio calls about "you take the guys on the left and I will take the guys on the right."  Every bandit would be digitally tagged with a track number, and the each fighter would be directed to engage specific track numbers.  The RIO in each plane could see what tracks had been engaged and which ones hadn't, if the situation got hectic enough to overwhelm the controllers.  When an F-14 locked on a track, the other F-14s knew it.

So, in something of a realistic scenario with realistic forces, this engagement wouldn't look much at all like the one depicted here.  There would be far fewer leakers, but also a weaker SAM screen.  IIRC, the USN generally believed that each Tomcat would splash three bombers (two with Phoenix, one with Sparrows).

There's no electronic warfare on either side in this scenario, which also misses a big part of the doctrine of both sides.  The EA-6 was designed to suppress air defenses, but would be up jamming the shit out of those Down Beat radars, the the Kh-22 has to get a radar lock from the launch plane before launching.  That's going to cut down launch range by A LOT.  That means more splashed Backfires before they get to launch.  The Tomcat radar was harder to jam, but the Soviets could certainly deny the 90+ mile launches the game predicts in this video.  Sixty miles is more reasonable, but that wouldn't matter so much because they Tomcats are not as time-limited as in the video simulation.

The presenters also are rather comically misinformed about computer modelling capabilities in the 1980s.  Even in the late 1970s, I participated in training simulations that modelled this in real time (though obviously without the graphics).  In the early 1980s, working for a Beltway bandit, I helped model the shit out of these kinds of scenarios to help the USN decide on future weapons programs.

This is cool. Simulated 1985 attack on a US CVBG group by 100 T-22Ms.

It's fun to see this stuff because it is right in my wheelhouse, but they should have talked to me first.

The presenters also are rather comically misinformed about computer modelling capabilities in the 1980s.  Even in the late 1970s, I participated in training simulations that modelled this in real time (though obviously without the graphics).  In the early 1980s, working for a Beltway bandit, I helped model the shit out of these kinds of scenarios to help the USN decide on future weapons programs.

Thanks grumbler, that was a very interesting read.

When I posted that video I was mentally thinking "....and I can't wait to get grumblers take on it..."

It's a fun little scenario to watch play out, but of course is pretty clearly completely amateur, and limited to the abilities of the sim they are using, which is rather general purpose. I sure as hell hope the USN (and the Russians for that matter) have and had MUCH better capabilities to simulate this stuff.

SOme of the comments claim that they did have some sophisticated simulations available back in the day, although their computers may have taken a few days to crunch all the numbers. No graphics though.

Apparently, the new Animaniacs reprises a classic, the "Countries of the World"n song, but set in the (mid?) 19th century.

Unofrtunately, it's fading into a scene transition and is incomplete. :(

The guy who rated the previous songs for accuracy checks this one: https://youtu.be/jtiaY8VGeLE

Based on the countries, I half guess they just looked at the starting map of Victoria II (they probably didn't, because some of the countries mentioned - e.g. Jolof, Kaabu, etc. - are not in the game). :P

Their (allegedly) millions of viewers. The people in Louis' documentaries, although often espousing violent and reprehensible things, always had a certain entertaining value because they were so obviously fringe that they didn't really pose a public threat. I'm not getting that vibe here at all.

The big difference I found between this one and the usual is that when Louis speaks to fringe people usually they're certain of the correctness of their beliefs.
They're open and willing to teach about how right they are whether it's neo nazis, boer nationalists, or swingers.
These guys though spent the whole time dancing around their actual beliefs. It's all a joke but it isn't and they aren't really racist but they are.

Noah Caldwell Gervais has made a short video essay about the Dark Souls Trilogy (it comes in chapters, you don't have to watch it in one go :P ). I'm only 45 minutes in, but I would still recommend it up to this point if you have some interest in the series but are put off by the elitist "Git Gud" mentality surrounding the games at this point. He's writing very much from the perspective of someone who's not great and difficult games requiring lightning reflexes, and, after trying Bloodborne, decided these games were not for him. So even if you only watch the first 10-20 minutes you will get the gist of his change in attitude.


He points out something I really enjoy about the games. Yes, they have an innate difficulty, and they want to you to learn their mechanics and how the combat flows. However, they also provide you a lot of tools to mitigate that. You can level up your character. You can get better gear (weapons, armor, rings ...). You can upgrade your gear. You can summon NPCs or other players to help. If you suck at timing your dodges, get a shield and heavier armor. Some enemies might be vulnerable to certain elements. Etc.

And even though there's people who scoff at players making use of those aids, he's right: nobody *really* cares how you play the games as long as you have fun. And the developers put all those tools in there for a reason. There's no "wrong" way to play.

And he's quite right that once the games hook you in, you can get a bit obsessed with talking about your experiences and the games themselves. :D

If anyone's looking for metal songs to check out, I very much recommend Tank the Tech:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvSGePWjMWirFn_YEeeoiYA

Tank is a roadie who started reaction videos to metal videos. Unlike most reaction channels, though, he does actual research into the bands and songs (if he doesn't do it beforehand, he'll often add additional info in "pop up video" style info boxes). Since he's a roadie he often comments on the bands' equipment such as it's visible in videos. It used to be a much bigger focus in his earlier videos. In between he does the occasional interview/podcast with musicians.

He's generally upbeat and positive, which is a bonus.

It primarily started out making lore summaries of sci-fi factions from various media (games, series, movies) and some of their equipment, but has been branching out into editorial content.

Somehow I wound up watching a video series produced by The Onion back from 2012 called Sex House.  It's a scripted parody of almost every reality show ever.  6 attractive people (well 5 attractive people plus Frank) locked in a house encouraged to have sex all the time.

You might think that parodying reality tv would be like shooting fish in a barrel, but the show just gets darker and darker as it goes on.  It's all played completely straight (in usual The Onion style), and is funny as balls.

You can find it on youtube, and the complete season together only runs for one hour so it's not a huge time commitment.

Okay, so there's a Russian youtube channel (with English subtitles) called 1420.  It does nothing more and nothing less than ask Russians on the street various questions.  It's fascinating because the questions they ask are all vaguely subversive, but nothing that would get them arrested (at least so far).  They all follow the basic logic of the government line, but then take them a step further.

I also find it fascinating because I fucking paid for university doing "man on the street" questions for the local newspaper (not that I did a bad job, but a total nepotism job from my dad).  3x per week, 7x per column, for I dunno 3-5 years.  There's an art to getting people to answer your questions - and that's not while living in a totalitarian system.  I really admire these guys for doing "streeters" in Russia - because you can totally tell how carefully people are choosing their answers.

Just as an example from one week ago - they showed people pictures of the bombed mall in Ukraine and asked them what they thought - was it a fake?  Was it us?  Was it a mistake?  All totally neutral in tone.

I was very impressed by the way they presented, and their tone. Serious, but still "positive", factual and not full of "holy indignation".

Photo and video computer modeling to debunk moon landing hoax. 

The modeling stuff is pretty cool.

The guy gets so much stuff wrong it's hard to think he will have any debunking success.  He calls the Sea of Tranquility "Tranquility Bay."  He misquotes Armstrong's famous words repeatedly ("giant leap for mankind" not "giant step for mankind") and says that NASA "forgot" to put a handle on the egress hatch (the hatch opened inwards so that no handle was needed and would just be dead weight in an extremely weight-critical design)...

and there  was more bullshit but I just shut it off.  When every tenth word is an untruth, it's not worth spending lifespan on.

Here's the moon landing hoax response that is more honest and careful.

AT&T was not just a phone company, it was a phone equipment company with an effective monopoly on phone services and equipment, plus its R&D branch (Bell Labs) was one of (and probably the) the most innovative research organizations on the planet; multiple Nobel prizes, invention of the radio telescope, the transistor, the laser, pretty much all of the major early computer operating systems and programming languages...

AT&T was huge, incredibly diversified, extremely profitable, and utterly monopolistic.  It was eventually broken up by court order because of the latter trait.

I think he wanted to do a video on Music Video VFX by making videos for an actual band, and this is probably the first band that said yes.

Because of music copyright it's tough to do a good explainer on music videos without going through potentially expensive licensing, so it was cheaper (although not easier) to obtain it by doing short music videos for the band.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaFFzY8OXZc

Alas, as click-baity and overly melodramatic as YouTube gets.  Bismarck was not "the most feared ship of World War 2" and, in fact, was sunk on her maiden war voyage.  The RN felt, quite rightly, that their latest battleships were as good or better.  One could make the argument that Tirpitz was the "most feared" ship because the RN had to always account for her when deploying their forces, keeping two fast battleships and a carrier in the Home Fleet to ensure they'd sink her if she got out.

I am rather surprised that they found some naval historians in 2021 that are still promoting the false claim that Hood was somehow faulty because she was a battlecruiser, and she "sacrificed protection for speed."  She did not.  Hood was the best-armored British battleship coming out of WW1, and was, in fact, the first fast battleship.  The RN called the design a "fully armored battlecruiser."  That's what they called the King George V class, as well.  Hood's problems were not due to being a battlecruiser, but due to being old and not modernized.

Lots of problems with the tactical description of Denmark Strait, as well.  They have one guy claiming (falsely) that the Bismarck was able to fire without being distracted by British fire, then a claim that PoW hit Bismarck before Bismarck opened fire.  One mistake after another.  Breathless descriptions of very ordinary things like correcting gunnery solutions.

I did like the use of first-person accounts, though.

I didn't understand why the presenter was bobbing around in a small boat, though.
Title: Re: Youtube Recommendations
Post by: Josephus on February 04, 2023, 12:19:16 PM
Nit-picking.

Being the best armoured ship coming out of WW1, doesn't make you a good ship in WW2. as you point out, it was old, not modernized, and as the doc points out, not refitted for WW2.
You also say that
They have one guy claiming (falsely) that the Bismarck was able to fire without being distracted by British fire, then a claim that PoW hit Bismarck before Bismarck opened fire
He didn't say it wasn't distracted for the whole battle. Just the first few minutes when Hood and POW were erroneously firing on Eugen.

I'm not an expert on the Atlantic sea battles, so I found the doc pretty interesting.

But the repeated claim is that, since she was a battlecruiser, Hood sacrificed armor for speed (false) and that she was not designed to stand up in battle against battleships (also false).

Hood's armor had nothing to do with her loss (though everything to do with Holland's tactics).  Bismarck couldn't penetrate either her deck nor her belt at that range and inclination.  The fatal hit almost certainly went in under the belt.

QuoteYou also say that

PoW never fired on Prinz Eugen. She fired before Bismarck and always targeted Bismarck.

QuoteI'm not an expert on the Atlantic sea battles, so I found the doc pretty interesting.

It's designed to be "interesting" what with the breathless description of the Admiralty's new technology:  the room! (dun dun duuun).  It's just not very historically accurate in some key areas and repeats old folklore that has long since been discarded by any serious historian of the battle.

"Hood was pretty much equivalent in size to Bismark"  The dimensions are then discussed after which the historian concludes, "She as designed to be fast and very powerful, best described as an ocean greyhound.  She was designed to be fast and she was designed to be very powerful."


The historians also comment on the fact that the Hood's armour was inadequate to the demands of modern naval warfare because she had not been refitted, like some other ships, after the effects of long range fire were better understood.

The also make the point that her armour disadvantage was compensated by her "very high speed".

So Grumbles, the historians you maligned said exactly the opposite of what you claimed.

You could learn a thing or two by listening to actual historians rather than making snide comments about them.  If anything is laughable, it is that you seem to think you know more than an actual naval historian.

B. In the Pacific War they committed tons of errors.

So even here when everything goes about as well as it reasonably could and they catch the American carrier force exposed and surprise them: they still fuck it up and lose the battle.

Quote from: FunkMonk on April 13, 2023, 10:13:30 AMThe Pacific War YouTuber guy who did some great videos on Midway and Pearl Harbor has returned (finally)




I was just coming here to mention these.  He did make a mistake regarding FJF, though.  FJF left on the day outlined in the plan.  What he did not do was extend the carrier coverage for an extra day, as Turner and Vandergrift wanted.  The latter were culpable in the failure of the amphibs to unload the cargo ships because the Marines assigned to the beach det were far too few, and hundreds of Marines (including Vandergrift) just stood around watching.

I thought that it was interesting that the Marine colonel assigned to Fletcher's staff (the man best-placed to balance the needs of the carriers and the Marines, supported the withdrawal of the carriers when they left.

Fletcher got fucked over by King, and to this day I've not seen any sign that anyone in power ever confronted King on the replacement of the battle-winning Fletcher with the bungling Noyes and then battle-losing Kincaid.

Great videos, though.

I was hoping to see your opinion. Good to see these new videos are as good histories as the other videos he's done. :cool:

I knew nothing about this battle so I really liked the parts in the first video which prompts the viewer to make a decision based on what Fletcher knew at the time. Really puts you in the person's shoes, as any good history does.

I only wish that we had enough information to do the same for the Japanese side.  Those records were mostly destroyed during the surrender.

I also liked the reconstruction of the battle through Fletcher's eyes.  I've read Lundstrom, but he presents the omniscient view of the battle.  HP Wilmott does better at analyzing the decisions, but he doesn't go into the detail presented here.  This is an excellent use of existing history to focus on seeing things through a different lens.

Okay, so these recommendations are mainly of use to those of us who have to watch young-child youtube (which is some of us) as opposed to directly appeal to the average languishite...

Recently I've come across Scratch Garden, and their stuff is IMO pretty good (and by "pretty good" I mean "significantly less inane than average"). The music is pretty catchy (in the non-annoying way) and there's a sense of humour underlying them too.

In the wild world of the Youtube algorithm, I ran across a video of someone posting videos of freemen/sovereign citizens interacting with police.  One video then turned into many more showing up as recommended.  Sometimes it's the police body cam, sometimes it's the freeman recording it themselves.

Maybe you have to be in my line of work, but it's quite cathartic to watch these videos of police being very polite and measured while the subject acting completely idiotically.  The best ones of course are where the police ultimately have to get quite physical with the subject, but the ones where the person goes quietly are satisfying as well.

So I have to admit I haven't dealt with any for a long time.  I do remember dealing with a guy in Beaver Creek (Canada's westernmost community!) who was driving around with a homemade license plate.  Thankfully he decided to ignore the court and he just remained silent, which made the proceedings much easier. :)

But given all the conspiracy theories and falsehoods floating around, now spread by social media, I can only assume that such movements are even more prevalent, despite my own personal experiences.  Certainly on this Youtube channel the videos were all quite recent.

Might be in part, I wouldn't be surprised, but I think it's in large part an offshoot of a TikTok/YouTube short fad. Tools go into public annoy people in legal yet aggravating ways until cops show up and they "own" the cop.  Like filming in public until people are uncomfortable enough to call the cops. Not illegal, but not exactly kosher. Laws aren't the same here so doesn't work out exactly as planned (the big one that seems to pop up is showing id in Canada vs the states).

I love sovereign citizen clips.  My favorite stock line is "I am NOT under arrest!"  The only problem is the folks posting them talk over the video too much with pointless comments.

The ones in court are good too.

I agree about showing the cops in a good light.  People could argue that shows like Cops cherry pick but AFAICT (someone correct me if I'm wrong) police body cam footage is public domain.  Anyone who wants to make the argument that cops are bullying law breaking dickweeds can curate whatever footage they want.  And I have seen clips titled "Look What These Asshole Cops Did!!!" which usually are nothing burgers.

Body cams are the most revolutionary change in policing in my lifetime.

I am pretty sure that body camera footage that will be used in trial is not public domain.  Generally, it is released after a while, but my understanding is that it isn't immediately available for fear it would taint witness statements.

The pattern is that Josq says something bizarre like "youtubers moaning about youtube and demonisation has been going on a long while" when we were discussing a specific YouTube vid asking subscribers to consider helping out on Patreon because YouTube is unnecessarily blocking access to their stuff. No mention of demonization in the vid.  No mention by these guys about trying to "make a living off a hobby" (none of them are trying to make a living off history videos) but Josq brings it up for whatever reason.  In fact, Josq makes not a single point relevant to the discussion - as is also the pattern.

The pattern then is that I point out that his post is entirely orthogonal to the video and discussion, and he, as is his pattern, announces that I am making a "completely wacky attack."  I blow off his non-responsive response and he goes ad hom.  As is the pattern.

Then, as is the pattern, you show up to fan the flames.

People are able to do loads of historical research and do extensive public outreach about it for for free?

In any case it is a call to action for their supporters and funders. We want to know these things so we can make sure their work continues.

Interesting, but it's curious that he only passingly mentions cyberpunk as an inspiration for steampunk.

I'd agree with his conclusion that steampunk isn't as good now that it is mainstream (or, perhaps, that it's simply much harder to find good steampunk amid the noise).

Back in the 80s Billy Mitchell got the high score in Donkey Kong, then in the early 2000s there was a documentary about him and other players that beat that record called King of Kong.  After that point he set a couple more records at Donkey Kong on "original hardware".  Several years later it was proved that the later records, including one at the end of the documentary, were set on MAME.  The records were removed once it became indisputable.  He's been denying that it was on emulated hardware and suing bunches of people for defamation.  Now there was a deposition earlier this year that is rather hilarious for an inveterate liar.

Once interesting is the thoroughness of the evidence, the vehemence of Billy Mitchell's denial, his lies about other things (like being proclaimed the Video Gamer of the Century), the intersection with online confusion about the whole matter and the pointlessness of it all considering the records have been thoroughly surpassed by others.

Quote from: Jacob on December 10, 2023, 07:13:31 PMWhat's the story?

Back in the 80s Billy Mitchell got the high score in Donkey Kong, then in the early 2000s there was a documentary about him and other players that beat that record called King of Kong.  After that point he set a couple more records at Donkey Kong on "original hardware".  Several years later it was proved that the later records, including one at the end of the documentary, were set on MAME.  The records were removed once it became indisputable.  He's been denying that it was on emulated hardware and suing bunches of people for defamation.  Now there was a deposition earlier this year that is rather hilarious for an inveterate liar.

Once interesting is the thoroughness of the evidence, the vehemence of Billy Mitchell's denial, his lies about other things (like being proclaimed the Video Gamer of the Century), the intersection with online confusion about the whole matter and the pointlessness of it all considering the records have been thoroughly surpassed by others.

Thanks!

What a world  :lol:

Laboratory chicken tastes pretty good but currently takes more energy to create than legacy chicken.

If they've got such a big crowd they should have a bigger board. Which means bigger darts.

Post by: crazy canuck on January 24, 2024, 08:24:04 AM
And feet are bigger than hands so they should really kick it.  Hard to kick a dart so let's turn that into a ball.  But the target will be too easy to hit by making it bigger so let's put an opposing player in place to try stop it.  Might even need to add even more players.

Not sure what to call it now since the dart has been removed.  But it might evolve into something played to even larger crowds.

Josh Strife Hayes has done a retrospective of WH40K: Dawn of War I:


Not really played it myself (not really into RTS), but hearing the music ... "Wait, that sounds a bit like Morrowind with hints of KotOR ... it's Jeremy Soule isn't it?" (Spoiler: Yes. Yes, it is. :P )

Try it, if you like Warhammer.
I think it's worth it, even if you don't like RTS.

The first expansion has a story, the other 2 don't.

Although I had heard of Warhammer before, I had no real idea of the lore before that.

That was an extremely funny introduction.  Everyone is completely nuts in this universe. :P

Yeah, sorry, not enjoying RTS much (with the single exception of Age of Kings). Too stressful. :P


Anyways, if anyone likes sound effects from movies/tv shows old and new, this channel more than likely has you covered:

I found this quite interesting. A DW news doc/series of interviews about male extremism.
Some good snippets in there. Avoids just saying "Aren't these people awful!" and instead discusses the why in a pretty matter of fact way.

The DW vid is unwatchable for me because there is so much distortion in the audio.  Is that my connection or the video itself?
