Hey guys and gals, Compulsion Games here
with some very exciting news.
After a gruelling Montreal winter
full of wet snow, dry skin, and hard work,
we are finally ready to present to you:
the Maidenholm Update for We Happy Few.
This is the second, major content update for We Happy Few,
and we're so pleased to share it with you.
We've developed brand new content,
and included some long-awaited community requests.
So let's get to it.
First off: welcome to the new,
weird and wonderful island of Maidenholm!
This second Village island very mysteriously appeared offshore,
and with it, a bunch of new encounters
for you to explore.
Maidenholm is a significantly greater threat
than any you have ever faced before in our world.
The encounters are more dangerous, more ridiculous,
and everything I hope my Granny never sees,
for reasons that will be obvious to you.
Also, Faraday and the Houseboys have moved
from the first Village island to Maidenholm,
so be prepared to work hard if you want to pay them a visit.
Second, we have implemented playstyles!
This is one of your most highly requested features.
You now have a choice at the beginning of the game
to play in one of three different playstyles.
If you have been asking for us
to remove the survival aspects of the game,
then you are in luck.
The new Birdwatcher playstyle focuses
just on the quests and exploring the world,
and you no longer need to eat or drink.
If you have been asking us to make everything harder,
well, you can now go full rage
and select the Vigilante playstyle.
Combat will be harder
and survival will be brutal.
Things are not gonna be easy
and the game will be punishing.
Or if you were happy the way things were
then you can continue playing on the Downer playstyle,
which is basically what we have now,
just with a few additional balance tweaks.
These Playstyles have been designed
to accommodate a wide range
of different types of players.
As always, we'll be looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Third, in our first, major world generation change,
we added support for regions in the garden district.
The map is now divided between different types of areas:
wilderness, abandoned neighbourhoods and small hamlets,
each with their own resources and threats.
This is the first in a series of large changes
to our procedural system,
and there is more to come.
We hope the new regions will add
even more personality to
the ever evolving world of Wellington Wells.
Fourth, the shelters have been revamped,
and you'll no longer get these for free.
You'll face challenges
in order to unlock each one,
but on the plus side, once you do,
it'll be just as safe as usual,
and since the new shelters will introduce
key mechanics useful to the game world,
you'll be better prepared for
exciting new challenges down the road.
Come on guys, it's for your own good.
Fifth, because we are never short
on finding ways to complicate your life,
we added a bunch of different deadly features.
The so-called Toxic Fog has been expanded.
I'm afraid this put an end to the easy
night errands in the Garden District or the Village
while gently reminding you that ecologic catastrophe
is probably more real than some believe.
Meanwhile, our very own and
never drunk-on-duty Wellington Wells police
found ways to improve the security in the Village District.
No, they did not build a wall.
Instead, we would like to welcome
their new pet, the Peeper.
It's a delightfully evil device
that scans your soul for residues of Joy,
oh but it isn't it just so gosh darned cute.
Sixth, we added a butt load of options in the main menu,
so you can customize your desired playthrough.
This allows Playstyles and Permadeath
to be displayed all in one place,
as well as providing an option for multiple save slots.
Speaking of Permadeath,
please note that it is no longer the default option.
Many players were recklessly clicking
through the menus without realizing
what permadeath was.
Now, it must be a conscious choice,
which doesn't take anything away from permadeath players,
and will help us not get screamed at quite so much…
And finally, we have a ton of stuff
but we're out of time.
So here's the rest of the video
condensed into 5 seconds.
After so long working on our previous update,
it felt really great to be working
on all this cool stuff.
We'd love to hear what you think of it,
so come say hello on the Compulsion Forums
or on your most convenient social media.
Until next time,
happy update everyone,
and don't forget to take your Joy!

12 Spring TV Shows You Need to Watch! (The Dan Cave w/ Dan Casey) - Duration: 7:21.
- Hey there.
Are you still watching The Great British Bakeoff?
Yes, Netflix, I am.
You judgey judgerson, leave me alone.
But I guess seeing as I've seen every episode enough times
to know exactly when Mary Berry's gonna be Monosaki bottom,
it probably means it's time to expand my televised horizons.
Now thankfully, April showers bring a deluge
of brand new TV shows on our way,
and on today's episode of The Dan Cave,
I'm gonna tell you exactly which shows you need to watch
this Spring.
So buckle up friends, because it's time for a
Spring teev brief.
I'm so sorry.
Doctor Who: happy who year everybody.
Why don't they say that?
The doctor is back and he's bringing a new companion
along with him.
Now not only is this Peter Capaldi's final season
in the TARDIS, but it's longtime showrunner
Steven Moffit's as well.
This, of course, can only mean one thing.
Next season the show's moving to America
and Kevin James will star
as a minor league basketball player turned Time Lord
in Doctor Hoops, comin' to NBC Tuesdays at eight.
Either that, or we're gonna see the return
of a bunch of classic villains to exterminate our boredom
as Moffet and Capaldi ride off into the sunset
on a bicycle built for two.
Just picture that, just biking along, old British dudes.
The Handmaid's Tale.
Who knew that a story about a dystopian fascist government
trying to legislate women's bodies would be so deeply
and unfortunately relevant in 2017?
Yet, here we are.
This HULU series based on Margaret Atwood's 1984 novel
tells the story of a society
in which the solution to an infertility epidemic
is for a religious fundamentalist government
to force fertile women into sexual servitude.
It's basically Westworld, except instead of sex robots,
they're real human beings and Jesus Christ,
you've got to be kidding me.
Regardless of your politics,
this is a show that demands to be seen,
and not just because the incredible Elizabeth Moss
is in the starring role.
Class.
Now why they didn't call this show
Doctor the Who School Years is beyond me,
but this Spring also brings along with it
a Doctor Who spinoff entitled Class.
It follows the students and teachers of Coal Hill Academy,
who are tasked with fighting off the alien threats
the Doctor simply doesn't have time to deal with,
in addition to doing their homework
and keeping their raging hormones in check.
You know, that old chestnut.
That old (in ditzy accent) "I was gonna ask Lamont
"to the prom but then she got eaten by Chumblies" chestnut.
That's a real Doctor Who villain, by the way.
Chumblies, look them up.
They are dumb as hell,
and hopefully they won't be on Class.
Brockmire.
If your biggest complaint about Eastbound & Down
was that it focused on baseball players
rather than baseball announcers,
then Brockmire is the show for you.
Hank Azaria stars as the disgraced
former Major League Baseball announcer Jim Brockmire,
who is relegated to the minor leagues after
an on air meltdown ruined his career,
and honestly, this looks like it's gonna be
the best story about baseball, alcohol addiction
and doing (bleep) with tons of cocaine,
since the original R rated version of
Angels in the Outfield.
Look it up.
Mystery Science Theater 3000, the return.
Now what can I say about Mystery Science Theater 3000
that can't be better said by a dude and two robots
loudly (bleep) talking over what I'm saying?
MST3k is back with a new cast including the hilarious
Jonah Ray, Felicia Day, Patton Oswalt, Barron Vaughn
and Hampton Yount.
Now more MST3k is always a good thing,
but honestly I'm still bitter they didn't buy my idea
for a dancing competition show called You Just Got Servoed.
Guys, it really hurts.
American Gods.
Now just when I though Game of Thrones
was the craziest thing I'd ever see a vagina do on T.V.,
along came American Gods and ho-oly smokes you guys,
just wait.
Bryan Fuller and Michael Green's American Gods
is the adaption that Neil Gaemon fans have been waiting for.
At its core, the star series, is a story about a battle
for the soul of America, between the gods of old like Odin
and the gods of new like media and technology.
Throw in an all star cast including Ian McShane,
Gillian Anderson, Crispin Glover, Orlando Jones
and Ricky Whittle, some deeply trippy imagery
and a little bit of the old ultra violence,
and you have a recipe for my new favorite T.V. show.
Seriously, it's really weird and really good.
Genius.
Hey, is your name Kyle Hill?
Do you love science?
Can you appreciate the hell out of a good
biographical drama?
Look, if you said yes to any of these questions,
then you need to watch Ron Howard's Genius.
Nat Geo's first ever scripted series
is all about Albert Einstein, and considering that it stars
Geoffrey Rush as an adult Einstein, I have a theory that
you're gonna be relatively interested in seeing this.
Ha ha.
The Son.
Oh what's this, a prestige drama on AMC about Pierce Brosnan
as a bearded oil baron who goes from lovable patriarch
and the head of a burgeoning dynasty,
into a stone cold murderer who will stop at nothing
to see his rivals ruined?
And it takes place over the course of 150 years?
Dude, hell yeah.
The only way this would be better, is if they called it
Breaking Bras.
Like Bros-nin, you get it.
Twin Peaks.
Good news, that T.V. show you like is coming back in style.
Now we don't know a heck of a whole lot about this
long awaited third season of the David Lynch cult classic,
except that it's 18 episodes long and takes place 25 years
after the series finale.
So go ahead, put on a pot of damn fine coffee,
pour one out for log lady, and start trying to figure out
who's using Laura Palmer's photo on Tindr.
I'm pretty sure that's what the plot's gonna be this year.
Who is cat phishing Laura Palmer?
So dumb.
And, that's right folks.
Stock up on Ipecac, dye your hair green
and accidentally get the neighbor kid drunk,
because Anne of Green Gables is back, mother (bleep) ers!
That's right, we're getting some Nova Scotian precocion
from a plucky ginger by the Atlantic Ocean
in a brand new Anne of Green Gables series,
and as a fan of Green Gables, I am (bleep) excited
that this beautiful coming of age story that's been sold
over 50 million times worldwide,
is coming to a brand new series of audiences
all over the world.
Seriously, check it out.
Into the Badlands.
Did the fight scenes in Iron Fist make your heart frown?
Well, unlike Iron Fist,
Into the Badlands won't use 56 cuts in 35 seconds
because they've got a team of kickass fighters like
Daniel Wu doing some of the best fight choreography
on television.
This deeply weird martial arts action series
is set to get even weirder in season two
with the addition of one Nick Frost.
Now I don't know about you, but I'm a simple man.
I see Nick Frost, I watch Nick Frost,
and I hope that you're the same.
Talking with Chris Hardwick.
Now just because The Walking Dead is winding down,
doesn't mean you have to stop hearing Chris talk about how
Megan killed Dumbledore with Rosebud
alongside a panel of celebrity guests every Sunday night.
His talking dee for you and me is going year round
with a new pop culture filled talk show called
Talking With Chris Hardwick.
I wish it was kind of like called Talking Chris,
but I'll settle.
Now, I don't know about you guys,
but I for one welcome our new Hardwick overlord.
Dude is taking over television
and it's about damn time.
Today T.V., tomorrow the world.
And those my friends are the best T.V. shows
you need to watch this Spring.
But tell me, which are you most excited for?
What would you add to this list?
Let me know in the comments below and give me
the best new thumbs up of 2017
while you're there.
Now be sure to like and subscribe or else you might miss
next week's show about the story of an intrepid crew
of interstellar explorers who boldly go where no man
has gone before, only to find a sassy ogre,
a talking donkey and Benedict Cumberbatch,
in Star Shrek Into Darkness.
Until next time, keep on digging.
Let's open up the old mail bag, shall we?
@MrJoelScolrin asks,
"What would you rather play: Jumanji or Zathura?"
Huh, great question Joel.
Now, considering how much I hate spiders,
you'd presume that I'd choose Zathura,
but you'd be wrong,
because my love for Robin Williams outstrips my hatred
of spiders, so I am team Jumanj all the way.
But tell me, which game would you rather play?
Let me know in the comments below
and I'll see you guys next time.

Urban Troubadours | Assignment Explorer - Duration: 5:16.
We hear them playing all over New York City.
And, honestly, it's a whole nother world in the backstreets
of street music.
They play everything, from classical
to contemporary, and even some things I can't quite explain.
Like this guy.
A lot of people think street musicians maybe are just
homeless people, trying-- or they're trying to get away with
something, or they don't pay tax-- like,
whatever the situation is, there's this idea that
it's almost a desperate move.
[piano playing ragtime]
There's maybe some idea that, because you're
playing on the street, you're not a legitimate artist.
I think that is ridiculous.
ERIN WINTERS: It is ridiculous.
Because, even though people stop and listen or record,
most are unaware that it is a legal and a technical side
to street music.
Do you have a permit?
No.
I have a permit for playing in the subway.
I have a permit.
Sometimes, officers will just come
and they'll tell you to leave.
Like, they'll tell you that you need a permit,
and you actually don't need a permit.
ERIN WINTERS: Turns out it is legal.
Section 1050.6(c) of the MTA rules specifically says that
"artistic performances, including the acceptance
of donations," are permissible.
You really only need a permit if you're
playing with an amplifier.
But having a permit gives you some privileges
that other people don't have.
So, if they're in your spot--
MUSICIAN: They have to move. - They have to move.
MUSICIAN: They have to move, yeah.
ERIN WINTERS: Here's the thing.
Getting one?
Let's just say it's far from easy.
You go in there, you audition, and then, if you're OK,
they'll call you back in about a week.
They'll send you a letter in a week
that says you was accepted.
If not, then, you know, you've got to try again next year.
And a lot of people will be trying again next year.
ERIN WINTERS: Wow.
A lot of people.
So it sounds like it's competitive.
MUSICIAN: Oh, yeah, very competitive.
Wow.
So do you know approximately how many of these permits
they give out a year?
Probably about maybe 10?
ERIN WINTERS: (INCREDULOUS) 10? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you serious? MUSICIAN: Yeah.
I'm walking up to the precinct,
to talk to an officer, or at least try
to talk to an officer, and see if I can figure out
how to get a permit and what the law is behind street musicians.
Is it even legal?
It was all for the amplification.
But then, one day, I was playing at Times Square,
on the platform.
And a police lady approached me and gave me a ticket for $150.
She said to me, no, you're getting the ticket because
your instrument is a weapon.
I did talk to two cops.
They can't be identified, but they did tell me
that their main priority is just making
sure that people are safe.
So you can make a living off of--
- You can, yes. - You can.
OK.
That's good to know.
MUSICIAN: And it depends on how good you are!
I need the money.
Like, I'm not-- I'm not a musician to make money,
I'm a musician because I have to be a musician.
But the musician that I want to be requires all of the time
that I have.
So I need to make it work in a way
that I'm getting paid to play.
And this works.
When I go out to play, I can have great days, financially.
And I have other days that aren't so great.
So I have to be--
just go with it, you know what I mean?
But a lot of people, I think, seeing
somebody like me playing street music, they don't understand.
Like, I just did a studio session.
I've played around the world, different things.
This is a part of it.
ERIN WINTERS: But it's not even about the money.
It's about doing what they love for a living
and sharing their art to inspire others.
To be straight with you, it's, like, a really liberating
feeling to feel like I can go with my instrument
to some other place and try to see if I can at least make
a living, somehow, doing that.
Street music is my life.
I cannot see myself without it.
I'm addicted to street performing.
I mean, even if I get to be a millionaire,
or win an Oscar award, or whatever,
I would still want to play on the street.
Because it's such a different experience,
because the people are right there.
When you're on a stage, you are-- you know,
you have lights in your eyes.
You don't really see the people you're performing to.
On the street, it's like you-- you become
an integral part of the city.
One thing that makes street musicians really special
is the fact that it's not about where they're performing.
It's just about the fact that they're
passionate about performing anywhere.
And I really learned that passion is what drives art.
And, really, anyone can be an artist.

CIA Mouthpiece WaPo Calls for Investigation Into Nunes Leaks - Duration: 2:29.
This week, we've learned a lot, and last week of course, we've learned about House Intelligence
Committee Chair Devin Nunes.
This guy is running it seems to be his own investigation into the Trump wiretapping Russian
investigations.
But man, this guy is wrong.
I mean, really, really wrong.
He's canceling public meetings, he's meeting in secret at the White House, outside of the
White House in secret rooms and bumbling that up.
This guy's got to go.
He does have to recuse himself from the investigations.
But one thing I found a little puzzling is that the Washington Post had a glaring, blaring
article against Nunes.
They were calling for an investigation, not into just his role in the investigation, but
into the leaks and how the leaks got in Nunes's hands.
There's a lot of irony in that, the Washington Post calling an investigation into leaks.
The Washington Post thrives on leaks.
Matter of fact, if it benefits their narrative, they're going to actively pursue leaks, whether
it's leaks from the Trump White House getting to them first, or even a State Department
memo that was about leaks leaking to the press and it got to the Washington Post first.
They've even got the entire content of Michael Flynn's conversation with a Russian diplomat.
But I don't see the Washington Post calling for a look into how those leaks got out.
But if the Washington Post themselves were involved, man, you'd better back up, because
they don't want you in the way of their cozy relationships with politicians.
For instance, John Podesta.
He was named in the Wikileaks scandal.
So were several of the Washington Post reporters.
But they ignored that, and they instead focused on the validity of the leaks.
So why are we calling into this Nunes looking for a smoking gun?
If you're the Washington Post, you need to do a lot better at being transparent about
how you feel about leaks on any given party.

America's Next Moonshot: Cut Poverty 50% by 2030 | Jeffrey Sachs on JFK's Optimism - Duration: 3:15.
The best thing society can do was set a bold goal and think about how to achieve it and
go for it.
I just love that idea of governance.
Of course I grew up with it because President Kennedy in my youth said to the congress in
1961, that's how old I am and I remember those days.
He said I believe that America should adopt the goal before this decade is out of landing
a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.
President Kennedy said we have a big goal, let's go to the moon and back and let's
do it this decade.
And, you know, the engineers and the scientists said that's pretty cool.
And the congress said that's something good for us to invest in.
And within the decade, of course, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and we had a transformation
of space science, of communications technology, of semiconductor capacity, of computation
that were all spinoffs of that wonderful adventure.
Now I know that when President Kennedy said that there was no plan for how to do it and
everything had to be built along the way and everything was learning by doing and everything
was boldness and risk taking and putting resources into it.
But they had the goal.
They had the self-confidence.
They had the idea that this great challenge would be an inspiration, would organize our
energies and would have fantastic spillovers like global communications, like GPS, like
computation, like the semiconductor industry.
So that's optimism but optimism connected with goals, connected with clear thinking,
with rationality, with ways forward, with the boldness to say we can do great things.
I believe we absolutely should have such bold goals for our country.
By 2030 let's cut the poverty at least by half.
By 2030 let's cut the inequality in our country decisively so it's like the northern
European countries.
Not like this god-awful inequality that we have in the United States.
By 2030 let's move to decisively to renewable energy.
These are all achievable goals.
If you can land a man on the moon between May 1961 and the summer of 1969 don't tell
me we can't transform our energy system to save the planet.
Of course we can.
So this is what optimism is but optimism linked to clear goals, timelines and good rigorous
thinking and mobilization of people that can help to lead and can help society to get the
job done.

5 DIY Party Hacks | Hack Of All Trades - Duration: 3:03.
- So, here's the thing.
You wanna have some friends over
or you just met some cool new peeps
and you wanna lock that friendship down.
Either way, it's time for a par-tay!
So, I've got some crazy-good life hacks
that'll make sure you're the life of the party.
Or you could just go streaking naked
through the neighborhood,
but this just seems so much easier.
And warmer, am I right?
Now, the most important part of any special soiree
is, of course, the heart that you put into it.
Just kidding, it's the booze. (laughing)
So, just make sure you have your bar fully stocked
and your wine properly chilled.
Forgot to chill your wine?
Chill out, I've got your back with a great hack.
So, grab that sad warm wine
and put it into a bucket with ice,
pour some water in, and add a buncha salt.
The salt actually reduces the freezing point of water,
which means your bottle of wine
will be cool in under six minutes.
Now, if you're having mixed drinks,
you're dealing with an ice bucket situation,
so here's how to keep your ice bucket
from having a complete meltdown
and leaving your guests with a slushy mess.
I mean, what is this, an iceberg?
Ditch your ice bucket and grab your cutest colander
and place it over a glass bowl.
As the ice melts, the water will run off into the bowl
and your ice will stay intact,
so you can easily grab it with tongs, iceberg-free.
This vodka's getting better as it goes along. (laughing)
Hmm?
So, it's time to put out your appetizers, but you don't own
an $8 million Tahitian wooden cheeseboard. (gasping)
Don't worry, you don't need to.
Here's the hack.
You know that tray in your TV room?
How about that basket of fruit in your kitchen?
Really, anything around your house can be repurposed.
Just make sure you clean them properly
and go to town with your fruit, cheese,
nuts, Sour Patch Kids, whatever you like.
With all this great food, you won't even miss the board.
(laughing)
So, you wanna really wow your guests with your dessert,
but you aren't a pastry chef.
Well, here's a sweet hack, pun intended.
See this boring store-bought cake?
Wah-wah.
You will not believe what you can do with it.
Melt some chocolate chips and cream
to make a luscious ganache, pour it over the cake,
and decorate with some fresh berries,
and you just took that inexpensive cake
from plain Jane to fancy Fiona!
Who's the pastry chef now?
What?
When the party's over and it's the end of the night,
two things are happening.
Your SPANX need to come off
and you have half-empty bottles of wine.
You could drink 'em, and I've done it,
but try this hack instead.
Pour the leftover wine into ice trays
with some garlic and various herbs.
The next time you're cooking dinner,
you've got instant flavor bombs ready to go.
Red wine is great in pasta sauces
and white wines pairs perfectly with fish or chicken.
Well, I hope these hacks made your party
a little easier and a little calmer.
'Til next time, happy hacking.

Rebecca Solnit Reads from "The Mother of All Questions"; Discusses Hope & Resistance - Duration: 14:21.
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.
I'm Amy Goodman, as we bring you Part 2 of our conversation with Rebecca Solnit, the
writer, historian, the activist, author of more than 20 books, including, most recently,
The Mother of All Questions.
Let's start there.
We ended Part 1 of our conversation with "the mother of all questions," but if you can talk
again about what that means to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah, "The Mother of All Questions" was, you know, sort of a joke title for those
questions that try and—that are really not questions.
They're statements that—you know, "Why don't you have children?" is saying, "You
should have children.
I'm going to harass you for not having children."
It happened to me in an interview that was supposed to be about a political book of mine.
The guy spent the first 15 minutes just sort of hounding me about my reproductive choices
and couldn't find any of the answers adequate.
And I know a lot of younger friends of mine are being harassed about those questions.
It's really—it's the kind of questions that attempt to reduce women to breeding units,
to assume that reproductive activity and personal life is public business, as women's bodies
often and even usually are.
It's part of the larger idea that there's a one-size-fits-all recipe for happiness we
should all conform to, despite the fact we know lots of people who have conformed to
it and aren't happy.
And, you know, it's a kind of punitive normalizing force against which I think we can raise subtler
questions about the nature of happiness or maybe question the idea that happiness is
what we're here for.
Maybe we're here for meaning and purpose and, you know, other things.
And somewhere in that essay, I say there are so many other things to love.
And I know the way you love your work, and you're passionate about democracy and social
justice, etc.
There's a lot of other kinds of love that we don't talk nearly enough about, I've
been trying really hard to talk about for 20 years.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to turn to chapter three of your book, "Silence: The Cages."
Talk about the silencing of people, good silence, bad silence, what quiet means.
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah, this is a big essay that's the big new part of the book.
Many of the other essays have been published in The Guardian and Harper's.
And I really set out thinking I was going to write about how women are silenced.
And there are innumerable ways, and with silence really standing in for powerlessness, because
to have a voice, which means not just being able to utter words, but to have them respected
when you say "no," which is what the campus consent laws are about, to have a voice in
the fate of your body, which is what reproductive rights mean, to have a voice in a society,
which is what voting rights mean, are all things that we're still struggling for in
different ways.
And, you know, so—but I realized, as I wrote it, that we needed to talk about how men are
silenced, as well, that there's a kind of reciprocity of silences in conventional roles,
which both men and women have revolted against, but, you know, in a revolution still underway.
And I distinguished silence from quiet for the sake of this essay, because we have so
many blurry overlapping words in English.
And quiet is the choice to be in tranquility, to withdraw, to be—maybe to look inward.
Silence, I wanted to use for that lack of voice enforced from outside.
AMY GOODMAN: You also talk about the issue of sexual assault and sexual violence, from
Roger Ailes to Bill Cosby.
Now you have a self-confessed sexual assaulter as the president of the United States.
You have women who have made charges against him, who have described what he—who have
alleged what he did to them.
He said he would sue them right after the election.
He has not.
He, himself, in a videotape so many people heard, talked about not being able to help
himself—
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: —as he went after women, just grabbing them.
What does this mean to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: You know, it's appalling that that didn't stop him, that people were
willing to vote for him anyway, that people were willing to disbelieve the just—you
know, these women, or give their voice no weight, when they talked about somebody who
was committing felonious sexual assaults.
And—but more broadly, we are in this interesting moment where Cosby got away with it for half
a century, Roger Ailes got away with it for decades, we've seen a lot of people who
got away with these things for a long time, not getting away with them now.
I believe passionately that assaults on women, from domestic violence to street harassment
and stranger assault to campus rape and the other kinds of sexual violence we live in,
is an epidemic.
It's a war.
It's a crisis.
And I've tried for decades now, it feels like, to try and get people to see how profoundly
it limits women's ability to participate fully, to be free, to be equal.
And, you know, it's a crisis that's gone on so long that it's just become the norm.
And maybe we should just call it patriarchy.
But things are changing.
And the woman who finally spoke out against Roger Ailes was heard, and a lot of other
women came forward to support her, which is how it's often happened, with Cosby, with
many cases, of real solidarity and support in between women to testify, to reinforce
each other's voices, because women's voices are so often discredited as part of that silencing.
So, I think we're in a transformative time.
I also think we're in the midst of a huge backlash.
I think it could go either way.
When I speak hopefully, it's never like this—it's not optimism: "This will happen.
We can all kick back."
It's "There's room here for us, if we do—if we fight with all our might, to change
things for the better."
And feminism has changed things so profoundly in our lifetimes that I'm still hopeful
about it, despite having the pussy-grabber-in-chief in the White House, despite this sort of new
alt-right misogyny and this administration.
AMY GOODMAN: You helped popularize the word "mansplaining."
What does that mean to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: Yeah, I wrote an essay in 2008 called "Men Explain Things to Me," and
some anonymous blogger, who I still wish would come forward, coined the word "mansplaining"
the next week, which now is in 34 languages.
It's in The Oxford English Dictionary.
It's a normal part of the vocabulary.
It's about that circumstance, which happened to me this week, in which a man assumes he
knows, and a woman doesn't, and when in fact the reverse is true.
And I met a woman last night who's a financial expert, who has a young man in her department
explaining to her something that he doesn't fully understand, and she's the—you know,
the departmental chair—expert on.
So, it's the assumption that knowledge is somehow inherent in the male condition, ignorance
in the female condition, you know, that kind of patronizing bullying, taking up too much
room in the conversation, you know.
And the example that I used in that essay, which has had quite a life, the first example
I used—there are many—is a man telling me about the very important book I should
know about, that turned out to be a book I wrote, but he wouldn't slow down long enough
to hear my friend Sally keep saying, "That's her book.
That's her book."
So a man told me I should read this book that—
AMY GOODMAN: That you had written.
REBECCA SOLNIT: That I had written, yes.
That's mansplaining at its finest.
AMY GOODMAN: Did you understand your book better once he explained it to you?
REBECCA SOLNIT: No.
AMY GOODMAN: How about reading a section—
REBECCA SOLNIT: OK.
AMY GOODMAN: —from The Mother of All Questions.
Again, we're speaking to Rebecca Solnit, writer, historian, activist.
She's author of 20 books, this her latest.
REBECCA SOLNIT: I'm going to read the last couple paragraphs from the "Short History
of Silence."
[reading] "There is always something unsaid and yet to be said, always someone struggling
to find the words and the will to tell her story.
Every day each of us invents the world and the self who meets that world, opens up or
closes down space for others within that.
Silence is forever being broken, and then like waves lapping over the footprints, the
sandcastles and washed-up shells and seaweed, silence rises again.
"We make ourselves in part out of our stories about ourselves and our world, separately
and together.
The great feminist experiment of remaking the world by remaking our ideas of gender
and challenging who has the right to break the silence has been wildly successful and
remains extremely incomplete.
Undoing the social frameworks of millennia is not the work of a generation or a few decades
but a process of creation and destruction that is epic in scope and often embattled
in execution.
It is work that involves the smallest everyday gestures and exchanges and the changing of
laws, beliefs, politics, and culture at the national and international scale.
"The task of calling things by their true names, of telling the truth to the best of
our abilities, of knowing how we got here, of listening particularly to those who have
been silenced in the past, of seeing how the myriad stories fit together and break apart,
of using any privilege we may have been handed to undo privilege or expand its scope is each
of our tasks.
It's how we make the world."
AMY GOODMAN: Rebecca Solnit, reading from her book The Mother of All Questions.
In this era of Trump, talk about what's gone on for you in your community, inside
yourself, once he was elected and once you see what has transpired since, in this period
which is far less than his first 100 days.
REBECCA SOLNIT: I'm—one of the things I talk about in the book is it's a misnomer
that a reaction to danger is fight or flight.
That was based on studying male rodents and male human beings.
There's a third sort of gather and tend and—tend and befriend, they call it.
And that's what I saw immediately after the election.
People reached out to say, "How are you?
I'm here with you.
We're in this together."
There's been this massive wave of sort of solidarity and people, I think, not being
nitpicky about small differences, because across huge differences—you know, your Catholic
friends, your Muslim friends, your secular friends, your anarchist friends, your Marxist
friends—are all opposed to this administration, in many cases.
And so, there's been this extraordinary expression and action of solidarity, people
standing up for each other, that's been beautiful.
It has been incredibly exciting.
I'm not nostalgic for who we would have been under a Hillary Clinton presidency, which
is who we were under a Barack Obama presidency—namely, insufficiently engaged and deeply divided
within ourselves on the left and—you know, and in the mainstream.
So I see tremendous possibility.
But I also see this can fizzle out.
I wrote a book about disasters, A Paradise Built in Hell, about the extraordinary way
people come together after disasters.
We're not social Darwinist barbarians.
We're not nature, red in tooth and claw.
We're beautifully, anarchistically resourceful, communitarian, full of mutual aid, in the
moments after a disaster.
And this confirms that the Trump administration is a huge disaster, like a war, like an earthquake,
like a hurricane, that people have come together from.
But do they understand their own power?
Can they exercise it, build on it, make something permanent out of it, hang on to it, do the
slow, painstaking work of rebuilding a society?
Because I think we need to do nothing less than that, and recognizing, as the radical
right has, that you need to work on local elections, in school boards.
You need to address, you know, how districts are drawn up.
You need to address who gets to vote in our elections.
Can we do that long, slow work of rebuilding?
I think it's possible, as it never has been before, to really shift radically the level
of participation, the set of ideals, the nature of the parties, and do something extraordinary,
but only if people believe it's possible, if they can stick together to some extent,
which doesn't mean smoothing over racism or sexism or, you know, or limiting what we
do in those ways, but means seeing—understanding what we have in common and articulating in
a way that's energized and inspiring, claiming that power and really doing what's possible
with it.
So that's what I'm hoping for.
And every day we see horrible and disgusting things coming from this administration.
But they're chaotic.
They're weak.
They don't know how to govern.
And the chaos and disarray, I think, is full of possibility for us.
I think that it's not a given, but there's real possibilities of just taking them apart
and watching them collapse.
AMY GOODMAN: Rebecca Solnit, I want to thank you for spending this time with us, writer,
historian, activist, author of 20 books, most recently, The Mother of All Questions.
She is a columnist at Harper's, as well.
Her most recent piece, we'll link to, at The Guardian, titled "Protest and persist:
why giving up hope is not an option."

Cut Wheel Detailing Time In Half! - Chemical Guys Car Care - Duration: 3:23.
What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage.
Today we've got this Ford Edge in the shop and just like many of you have it has water
spots, scratches and oxidation on the wheels.
So using our Ball Buster Polishing Pad we're going to clean it all up to get this rim looking
shiny and its best.
Using some Light Metal Polish that has natural cleaning oils and wax that brings out the
shine as well as protect the finish.
More importantly it is going to get rid of harmful elements that are stuck in the wheel
which can start degrading the finish causing premature wheel failure.
To load up our pad we're going to shake up the bottle to mix all the chemicals together.
I'll apply a couple dots to the applicator.
Then I'll spread it out on the area that we'll be working on.
This can be used with a regular drill, we'll keep it on the lowest speed setting so we
are still in control but the great thing about this brush is it has a built in sleeve that
while you're working prevents you from putting your hand on a spinning shaft.
The appearance of the Ball Buster may seem big and intimidating but it is really soft
and contours to the crevices of the wheel getting the spokes cleaned up.
We're going to get started by slowly spreading it out and then we work it in until it has
done its job and at that time we'll buff off the excess.
So now that I've worked the polish into this small section, I'll take a gray microfiber
towel and start buffing it off.
The reason I went for gray is because I dedicated these for any kind of metal surfaces like
polished aluminum wheels or exhaust tips to prevent cross contaminating it with any other
areas of the vehicle.
Already you can see there is a high shine, it looks factory and all the water spots are
gone.
It has done a great job and it is super easy to use so now I'm not fatigued or tired and
now I can finish off the other three wheels.
So if you want to learn more about these products check them out on our website ChemicalGuys.com.
If you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up and we'll see you guys next time
right here in the Detail Garage.

The Ascending Man What Is 5D Masculinity - Duration: 7:51.
The Ascending Man What Is 5D Masculinity
by Gabriel Heartman,
We are learning so much about what we as human beings are capable of in regards to our potential
and expression.
How we have so many gifts that lie dormant in our DNA and arising light bodies.
A power of creation that seems mythical in proportions to our current limited consciousness.
There is a general human frame that surrounds it and that is all true.
I have also been very interested in how this plays out in our gender expressions.
Do we just become less polarized this way and become more androgynous?
I certainly feel this when it comes to our Star Being brethren.
But does that mean we lose our humanness the way we know it now?
I suppose, like all things in this unknown and unknowable time, it all depends on where
we come from and where we want to go.
I feel we are being offered a Golden Age of Humanity.
One in which we live both in unity consciousness and individuality.
An individuation that is the Me within the We.
Being connected to Source and having an awareness of our integrated fractal expressions.
A higher vibratory dualistic experience.
So in that picture I see a New Woman and a New Man.
Or just remembering what it is we always were and even ARE currently.
I feel this Golden Earth that we are desiring to be a part of and co-create together, is
lead by the return and rebalance of more feminine and yin energies.
This has been talked about for a long time and we see its need even more with the state
of current affairs.
The more wounded masculine psychic overlay is seeing its consequence and demise.
Current disclosure revelations are showcasing the depths of this condition and awakenings
are increasing.
Men are scattered just as much as women among the dimensional consciousness spectrum but
women are closer to the frequency of 5D, at least in my opinion and experience.
The awakening is happening mentally for most men and then as the vibration continues to
raise on Gaia we are being invited to go more into our hearts, as that is what the core
of 5D is.
To live in the fullness of authentic BEingness.
There are no more 3D wound-based blocks that cap or prevent our access to our more crystalline
nature.
So when we as men begin to heal the Heart what does that look and feel like?
Clearly we are honest with our emotions.
We are vulnerable.
When a feeling arises we express it with clarity, certainty, and openness to perspective and
counter emotion.
We are not afraid to get into the fray to burn away what is old and arise what is truly
authentic.
We invite the shadow reflection as a gift to deeper understanding and healing.
There is a reverence for ourselves in the path of this integration.
There is no longer self-doubt and self-judgment.
We see ourselves as true Kings and proport ourselves as such.
The 5D masculine has met, wooed, and integrated his inner feminine.
This creates a self-contained and balanced male BEing.
The love and acceptance of the inner feminine reflects the reverence of the outer.
The healing of the mom wound feels vitally important as it holds the energy of our relationship
to the feminine and our subsequent sense of power and sexuality.
There is the need for union with Woman as an alchemical and powerful dynamic of intensely
epic proportions.
This mating and integration of this inner feminine aspect brings us a more heart-open,
softer, and less linear way of expression.
There is less DOing and more BEing.
Being with what arises in our desire and creative abundance.
We clearly respect Gaia in all Her splendor and weep at the sight of Her stunning beauty.
We are more connected to Her creatures and the guides and totems that they represent.
Meat eating becomes a thing of the past that no longer has a place on our plate�our diet
just changes with the integration of this new consciousness.
One of the biggest pieces to me is the shift from competition to cooperation as we become
more aware of our connection to All That Is.
We are One of the same so competing serves less purpose.
I can feel a healthy form of competition possibly but my jury is still out on that one.
As men begin to heal their father wounds the more we begin to open our hearts to each other
in beautiful male bonding that is alive with wonder, exploration, and leadership.
A cauldron of possibilities are shared and MANifested.
No longer will men feel responsible to achieve, but rather responsive to the call of building
galactic bridges and to co-creating with their feminine counterparts in sacred union.
The weight of the world and the need to control and provide are felt through and healed with
love so that we can access our more authentic power that is in alignment with Source and
Reverence.
The chains of our own captivity are melted away with the tears of remembering what we
have always been and why we chose the density of 3D.
This healing will open up our Galactic chakras and become more in tune with the energies
of the universe.
Many men are being awoken today only to be left with the question of what it all means
and what to do with it.
The grounding into Gaia and the heart feels like it will help with this feeling of uncertainty.
This connection between our humanity and our universality is what creates a powerful new
conscious cosmic experience.
The heart opens up and grounds in.
The service to others becomes 5D man�s new frontier.
I feel such a plethora of possibilities.
Our expanded heart consciousness will open new doors of relationality among ourselves
and our galactic connections.
The relationship to Gaia will be in alignment with Her consciousness and Love.
Living and breathing with and alongside her.
Setting off into unknown realms to encounter new and exciting territory with the desire
to learn and spread more love.
Implementing and encountering new technologies and wisdoms.
It is a great time to be alive.
But there is work to do on ourselves.
Some more or less than others, but needed healing just the same.
We are all in this together.
All looking for those who are resonant and can provide support, reflection, and love.
The old male collective is feeling the press of this continued flow of energy that is coming
at us in Love each moment.
Following Yin is to respond to the pings that are going off inside and to meet them with
a gentle curiosity that brings them out into the light.
No need to excavate or drill in the old way.
Feeling each of our desires and fears are what leads us the next choice point of healing
and ascending above what used to keep us down.
I look forward to this New 5D Man within me and within You to see what amazing experiences
we can have together and with our counterpart 5D Woman.
Now THERE is something to show up for!

The Story of LENNY BELARDO | Tribute Video - Duration: 4:49.
I looked at tall, stoop-shouldered Cardinal Spencer.
The most eligible of all the candidates.
I'm convinced he was already drafting his first papal address
in his head, maybe even composing his first encyclical.
I must have chanted those words a thousand times
before they opened the voting again.
Like a mantra: not him, me, not him, me...
...not him, me, not him, me.
And then, toward the end: not them, me.
And now I'm the Pope.
Not them.
I spoke my new name, Pius XIII,
and they forgot to thank God because they thought
that God had failed to illumine them.
I forgot to thank God, because I didn't think
God had illumined them either.
I love myself more than my neighbor, more than God,
I believe only in myself.
I am the lord omnipotent.
Lenny, you have illumined yourself!
I'm also intransigent,
irritable,
vindictive...
and I have a prodigious memory.
I do not have an image, because I am no one.
Only Christ exists.
Only Christ.
You want to look me in my face?
Go see God first!
Because everyone is alone before God.
You'll be a terrible Pope.
The worst.
You were not supposed to be the man of the Providence.
You were supposed to be the Pope of compromise.
Would you have blackmailed the Holy Father?
You haven't figured out that your old methods
only work on the old popes,
who were afraid of losing consensus.
I am the young pope.
I put no stock in consensus.
From this day forward, everything that was wide open
is gonna be closed.
That's the only way we can once again become desirable.
And I don't want any more part-time believers.
I want fanatics for God.
And this Pope cannot be blackmailed!
Let's root out all the homosexuals and expel them.
No to common law marriages.
No to gay marriages.
Absolute prohibition of abortion in all cases.
Everyone is afraid of you.
You've gotta cut it out with the fear, Your Holiness.
No one loves me, which is why I am prepared
for every kind of vileness, from everyone.
When you gonna grow up?
A priest never grows up, because he can never become a father.
He'll always be a son.
I love God because it is so painful to love human beings.
It would be wonderful to love you the way you want to be loved.
You've healed the sick.
You've made a hopelessly sterile woman pregnant.
You are a saint.
We are all guilty.
We are all guilty of war and death.
Always.
In the same way, we can all be guilty of peace.
Always.
Think about all the things you like.
That is God.
Now look at whoever is next to you.
Look at them with eyes of joy.
If you want to see God, you have the means to do it.
I love you all.
You don't know how wonderful peace is.
You have no idea how disconcerting peace can be.
God does not allow Himself to be seen.
God does not shout.
God does not whisper.
Who is God?
God smiles.
And now, I beg all of you...
Smile.
Smile.

Ivanka Just Rushed Out Of Her House With Serious Look, Here's Where She Headed Immediately - Duration: 11:54.
Ivanka Just Rushed Out Of Her House With Serious Look, Here's Where She Headed Immediately
Cameras constantly surround everywhere the First Family goes, hoping for a slip-up to
catch any seedy tidbit that the liberal media can't wait to use against them.
First Daughter Ivanka Trump was the focus of this on Monday morning, when she was seen
leaving her home with a stern look on her face.
Now we know where she did immediately after walking out of her house on an apparent mission.
Ivanka is constantly in the liberals' crosshairs despite being a true advocate for women's
rights where it really counts.
They fear her for creating solutions to their complaints that are anything other than free
brith control and abortions.
She's also the poster woman for true female empowerment, by being a successful businesswoman,
mother, and now First Daughter.
So, the second they saw an opportunity to tear her down for looking serious as she left
her Washington, D.C. home, they took it — but it backfired spectacularly.
She was caught on her phone in a seemingly serious conversation as she climbed into the
backseat of a black SUV.
Hours later, she emerged from the meeting she was headed to with an announcement that
liberal women didn't want to hear.
One of Ivanka's number one priorities in politics is supporting American mothers and
children by "pushing initiatives for affordable child care and paid family leave," American
News reported.
"She has been busy courting corporate executives and lawmakers in the hopes of pushing these
initiatives forward," the report added.
She certainly has her father's support who announced that his administration is intent
on working with members on both sides of the political aisle to implement a plan that would
make childcare expenses a tax deduction.
Considering that the cost of childcare often offsets a parent's income, Ivanka's plan
is brilliant and provides real relief for a problem that affects millions of low-income
American families — especially single mothers.
This should be something that feminists should be celebrating, but then again, it's only
providing solutions for keeping children and that's goes against what these hateful women
believe is their "right."BREAKING Trump is PISSED!
Look What His Attorney General Is About To Do To Obama ― He Had It Coming!
After all the lying, deceit, spying, and dirty political games, it looks like Obama might
finally be getting what he deserves for his ongoing antics.
In a recent interview, Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a big announcement regarding
Obama's future that you can be sure has the former president in absolute panic mode.
Throughout his time in office, Obama pretty much got away with whatever the hell he wanted,
as all of his cronies were all in key positions preventing anyone from standing up to him.
Now with leftover crooked officials within Trump's Administration, Obama is still managing
to cause chaos, as evidenced by all the recent intel leaks to the liberal media and illegal
spying on Trump.
But it looks like Obama will soon be paying a huge price for his antics, after what Trump
and his team of badasses have just decided to do about cocky Obama, who still thinks
he can do whatever the hell he wants.
While speaking to Hugh Hewit, AG Sessions said Thursday that he's looking into appointing
outside counsel to investigate actions taken by Obama's Justice Department regarding
Fast and Furious, the IRS' targeting of conservative groups, and also why they failed
to bring criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her email scandal.
"Well I'm going to do everything I possibly can to restore the independence and professionalism
of the Department of Justice," Sessions said.
"So we'll have to consider whether or not some outside counsel is needed.
Generally, a good review of that internally is the first step before any such decision
is made."
At this point in time, a full investigation into Obama's many crimes should be conducted.
Not only was this idiot never properly vetted to even become president of the United States,
but he undermined our Constitution and committed treason several times with very little opposition.
Now with his ongoing antics with setting up a shadow government with the stated mission
to "resist Trump" along with his illegal spying that could land him a federal indictment,
it's time to once and for all take this treasonous moron down.
H/T [Red Watcher] Motor racing - Timberlake follows Swift as F1 Austin crowd-puller
LONDON (Reuters) - Singer Justin Timberlake has been confirmed as the headline act at
this year's U.S. Formula One Grand Prix as organisers seek to build on the crowd-pulling
success of Taylor Swift's appearance at the 2016 race.
Timberlake, whose Oscar-nominated song 'Can't Stop the Feeling' won him a 10th Grammy Award,
will appear on stage on Saturday Oct. 21 at Austin's Circuit of the Americas (COTA) after
qualifying.
Last year's race ended a trend of declining audiences and drew a record crowd of 269,000
with Swift's first concert of the year watched by some 80,000 people.
"Last year did what we hoped it would do, which is not only enhance an already great
event but also give us the chance to expose a lot of new people to the sport," COTA chairman
Bobby Epstein told Reuters.
"And it worked.
"I think where we saw a big change was in the average number of tickets sold per transaction,
which told me that families were buying.
And so I think we'll see that continue."
The 2017 F1 season, which began in Melbourne last weekend, is the first with the sport
being run by American company Liberty Media, which took control of Formula One in January.
Liberty replaced CVC Capital Partners as the sport's commercial rights holders, with Chase
Carey ousting 86-year-old Bernie Ecclestone as commercial supremo.
F1 has long struggled to get a foothold in the American market, so hopes are high that
Timberlake's performance can build on last year's successful race weekend.
Bad weather hit the track's revenues significantly in 2015, with Saturday's final practice taking
place behind closed doors due to flooded conditions and qualifying moved to the Sunday.
Epstein said COTA would refund 105 percent of the value of any three-day reserved seat
ticket purchased by July 4 if more than two inches of rain falls in the 24-hour period
before the start of the race.
In addition, the ticket would still be good for the race.
Expert Just Announced MILLIONS Of Americans Infected Without Knowing It, Here's What
Everyone Needs To Do Right Now
Over the past week, WikiLeaks released a massive set of documents that revealed the intrusive
hacking secrets of our US intelligence agencies.
From this 8,000 pages of documents, we learned how the government can remotely take over
control of your smartphone and listen and see everything through your camera's mic
and camera.
But disturbingly, it isn't just the NSA that's spying on you.
One expert is revealing how a very common app that you probably have on your phone right
now is spying on you in the sickest way imaginable.
Cyber security expert Gary Miliefskynt stumbled upon this extremely disturbing find after
noticing that his phone began acting strangely, relaying in a recent interview how the GPS
on his phone would just randomly turn on.
So Miliefskynt started doing a little digging, and soon realized that the culprit was the
flashlight app that he had on his smart phone.
He then set out to do a complete investigation of Google's top 10 flashlight apps where
he found that ALL OF THEM contained malicious software, allowing the countries of China,
India, and Russia immediate access to everything that's stored on your phone.
After downloading this app, these countries then have access to all your personal info,
including your name, location, credit card numbers, bank account information, family
photos, videos, as well as every single contact that you have stored.
Once a user downloads the app, all of this information is then sent out to a satellite
dish that's attached to the app, where the snooping and stealing of your highly-guarded
secrets then begins.
Here's the top 10 spying apps and their capabilities:
Super Bright LED Flashlight Brightest Flashlight Free
Tiny Flashlight + LED Flashlight
Brightest LED Flashlight Color Flashlight
High-Powered Flashlight Flashlight: LED Torch Light
Flashlight HD Led Flashlight
Miliefskynt went on to say that the this type of malware is how nation states are collecting
insane amounts of personal information on Americans, where they can then sell the info,
or use for criminal purposes.
But what's even more disturbing is that simply deleting the app will not make the
problem go away, as the trojans attached to the app will still run in the background,
still able to access anything and everything on your phone.
The only thing to get rid of the spying is to a complete factory reset your phone, which
as many people know, is a complete pain in the ass.
H/T [Snoopwall]Group Of Protesters Start Screaming After Getting The 'Patriot Wedgie' By
Extremely Pissed Off Trump Supporter
This is the perfect way to start your morning.
Wake up and find out a skinny jean Antifa boy got owned in the most American way possible.
To top that off with a chaser of freedom, we have #Based Stickman right behind this
pleasant supporter of America for the most illustrious backup you could ask for.
Patriots of America were gathered for a Trump rally in Berkeley, California.
Minding their own business, showing support for Americans and President Trump.
Then the turds arrived.
They started fights.
Pepper sprayed people.
And that was it.
People have had enough and now they're fighting back and WINNING!!!
This is how you deal with the Antifa protesters.
THE PATRIOT WEDGIE!
Ultra impressive patriot wedgie photo taken from this Facebook Group.
What is Antifa?
A conglomerate of bitter beta males and fish face feminists who hate America, think everyone
else is racist, Fascist, (insert word here)-ist, and they disturb anything that involves free
speech.
Ironic, right?
They want the right to protest and say what they want, but no one else can?
When they protest other people's events, they always start fights, hurt women, and
pepper spray people.
Then they get beat up and pepper sprayed back.
It's like they show up and attack people because they enjoy getting beat up.
They're the kind of people who take liberal arts majors and can only get jobs sweeping
Starbucks bathrooms.
They're not even allowed to make the frapuccino.
I believe they're also the kind of people who choke themselves during self pleasure.
Once in a while you find one dead on a doorknob, pants off, hanging from a belt, because they
took it too far.
In other words, they hate Trump, hate America, and hate themselves.
When Trump crowds host rallies, they should be able to hold their rally in peace.
When anti-Trump crowds have their events, no one cares and barely anyone shows up to
disturb it.
You could have an anti-Trump rally everyday and I wouldn't care.
That's YOUR right to gather in peaceful protest.

Flossing around Orthodontic Brackets | Dentist Lethbridge | Cool Dental - Duration: 2:11.
Today we're going to talk about flossing
around orthodontics brackets. There are
a couple of tools that you can use to make
your job simpler. One is called Super
Floss which is made by Oral B and this
has a long just thready at one end, a
piece of fuzzy floss in between, and a
long piece of unwaxed gloss at the other
end. Something else you can use is called
a floss threader. These are made by
Butler or other companies, there are
generic brands available and they are
basically a blue loop that you can put
your own floss through. So i'm just going
to floss this through the loop and then
i'm going to pass this floss threader
underneath the bracket and you can
either place it from the bottom or place
it from the top. I'm going to place it
from the top just for ease of use today.
we're going to pull that through
underneath the wire and then i'm going
to hold the floss as if you do not have
any brackets on. I'm going to wrap it
around my second finger on both hands
and i'm going to pull it like a c-shape
and just pass it underneath the gum line
till you see the tissues Blanche from
one side down that point and down up and
down on the other side and then pull it
through and then you're going to use
your loop again to go to the next space
and I'm going to pass this the same
underneath the wire pull the loop
through and again wrap it on your second
fingers so look again like a c-shape and
up and down on both sides till the
tissues Blanche and both sides of that
pie shape and pull it back through and
continue.

【MMD KH】 My First MMD Motion... IT'S BAD HAVE MERCY | AkuRoku | Kingdom Hearts - Duration: 2:37.
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
Feels like you just woke up from a dream or something.

Shin Chan - Shinko, the mysterious girl! - English subs - Duration: 7:51.
(Hey,) here comes Shinko, the mysterious girl!
[When Himawari talks, she doesn't really talk, but she repeats some words in a childish style and they can be guessed]
Ugly clouds over there...
Himawari, we will go another day to the park...
So what do you think about going back home and watching the "Paradise of the Handsome" video?
Well, you really feel like playing in the sand...
See, nobody is here as it is going to rain for sure.
Do you want to play alone?
Himawari, alone!
It seems I will have to stay here for a while...
Himawari likes sand!
What is wrong with that cloud over there?
I think we'd better come back home.
The cow, in the winter, never gets vaccinated!
...ccinated!
The cow doesn't go to work, it's on holiday!
...lidays!
The cow plays and goes moo moo.
moo!
Where did this girl come from!
Hi, good morning!
Morning good ma'am!
(Look, this girl greats the other way round, so funny)
What's your name?
Before asking other people their name, you should reproduce yourself, don't you think?
It's not reproduce, it's introduce, little girl.
You can say so, so cool!
She is a bit strange...
Well well, I am Shinko, the dancing girl under the sun.
Nice to meet you.
Didn't you say I had to introduce myself first?
So you are Shinko, nice to meet you too.
Himawari, give me the budget, please.
And she says budget instead of bucket...
But wait! How did you know my daughter's name?
I can't believe it. You called her like that a moment ago...
Really?
Oh! We are going home, it seems it will rain soon.
Do you live nearby?
That's personal information.
It started raining... Shall we go home?
Do you mind ma'am, if I go to your house to play?
You know? I come from a distant place...
I see, but, won't your parents worry about you?
No no. No need to worry.
With your comission!!
I guess you wanted to say 'with your permission'
Ok Himawari, let's play with this one.
Woa, you chose Hima's favourite toy. What a coincidence!
Don't you want something to drink? Shall I bring you juice?
It's over Hima, it's over.
Don't cry anymore. Look at this, it is so beautiful!
Calm down, don't worry...
Wow. I guess you have little brothers, don't you Shinko?
That is personal information as well.
I see.
Madam, I'll stay here taking care of Himawari. You can go and keep doing the chores.
But...
Don't you worry, no problem.
Here you go!
Oh, thanks.
It suddenly started raining.
Yes, that's true.
I was planning to return it later, but I had to go out to do errands, so I came...
It was the neighbour from the house nearby, wasn't it?
How did you know?
By the way, as I thought you would be talking longer, I dippered Himawari.
Diapered, I see. Thanks.
Isn't it beautiful, Himawari?
It really suits me that she is helping with Hima...
But I still don't know where this girl came from...
Mum! My afternoon snack!
Ok, but you could have said hello first...
Ah, a friend of Himawari came before.
A friend of Himawari?
Yes. And I don't know why, but she really reminds me of you. You'll get along with each other.
Sure!
Sure! The cow, in winter, never gets vaccinated!
Eh? I can only see Himawari here.
Maybe she went to the toilet.
Nobody is here.
What a strange girl.
She left without saying goodbye to us...
The next day
Oh come on, exactly when I am hanging the clothes...
Hi, Shiro!
How are you?
It's you Shinko, how are you?
Hi, really nice.
You worried me yesterday.
You left without even saying goodbye...
It was because I don't like farewells...
Did I say something I shouldn't have said?
This situation keeps getting stranger and stranger...
Well, I was saying that because people often say goodbye as if you were a little poop in the toilet..
Come on!
Shiro, cotton candy!
Well done!
So, you don't mind if I vacuum clean now, do you?
No, please. As if you were in your own house...
She pooped.
Don't worry. I'll change her.
The clean diaper are in...
In the drawer.
Yes, in the drawer...
No, wait!
The drawer.
Be careful!
And it's done. Here they are. Aren't they?
Yes.
So it's finished, Himawari. Good girl.
Where is Shinko?
I just heard a flushing toilet...
It's a really strange girl. She also seems to already know about Shiro.
Maybe she was a ghost!
But I prefer a nice looking girl!
So do I!
You people are the worst...
Some days later
And suddenly she stopped coming.
So you say she is called Shinko?
I've never heard that name...
Forget that. Kids are soo capricious.
Yes they are..
Yes, let's forget it...

Design as a Business Imperative — The Startup Tapes #038 - Duration: 11:18.
- You're a designer by trade, right?
Is that fair to say?
- Yeah, studied design at Stanford.
- Perfect, and I didn't know you,
didn't know any of that.
I was a happy Lever user, customer,
and I fell in love with Lever because I felt
as a person who recruits people, like this people,
the people who made this product understand the flow,
understand what I need to have any point in time,
understand what happens,
and I fell in love with it as opposed to other products
that I have used in the past and pushed for us to buy it
because it was just well mapped.
And so, now, of course, I meet you.
I understand more about your background,
and it feels like oh, of course, design at the center,
but maybe that wasn't the Lever story.
So I wanted to talk to you about that,
like how the product happened
and what kind of impact design had not on just the product,
but on your business, right?
Is it really a competitive advantage
to have a quote unquote a well designed product
even in this B-to-B enterprise software world
that we live in?
- Yeah, no, that's a great question.
So I mean, you know, when we approached rethinking
a stale category, and for the most part,
systems that have powered hiring, recruiting, those are old.
That's an old category.
I really think design is the only lens
that helped us create a new point of view in this space.
We spent a lot of time in our early days,
like six months actually, in the trenches,
working really closely with not just recruiters,
but people like you, hiring managers, executives,
people who had the consequences of hiring not going well.
And it was actually through that
that we, I think, latched onto something big
that was happening in B-to-B software in SAS software,
which was that a lot of these systems of record
that have existed are actually morphing towards,
you know, systems of engagement, that it's not enough
to build a digital filing cabinet anymore.
People expect more from software.
They expect the software that they use from nine to five
at work to be as fluid, as intuitive, as engaging
as software that they're using on their phones at home.
And so, for us, when we thought about it,
there was actually something really powerful
in that shift from system of record to system of engagement.
Recruiting software, it's unique in the sense
that actually, it's one of the few pieces of software
that every single person in a company does touch
or use in some way.
You're submitting your interview feedback.
You're referring a friend.
And so, really from that standpoint,
there's only a few group of users
that are kind of paid to use the system.
Everybody else has to voluntarily want to.
And the more that you could actually help a company
unlock that potential in their employee base,
the more you can get them excited,
the more you can get them helping.
Obviously, that drives business value.
So I think for us, in taking kind of this universe
where we actually had this huge opportunity
of engaging an entire company in hiring.
Obviously, the product had to be intuitive.
It had to be simple.
It also had to actually be delightful.
And I think really when you think about it,
if we can get hiring managers to log into the software
and to do the tasks that they're depended on to do
to actually like it when they're doing it,
to be passionate users of our product,
we've actually opened the door
to an incredible new business opportunity
because applicant tracking may be our category,
but it's also this interesting backdoor
to reaching the extended kind of like tree of management
inside of a company.
- That makes sense, and I can definitely see
how that adds tremendous value for you too
because if you drive this engagement,
I'm sure like churn goes down,
I'm sure like referrals go up, lock-in is improved,
but focusing on the value to the customer,
it's interesting because why isn't that really
at the center of everybody's attention in this day and age?
And it feels so obvious when we talk about it,
but how do you think we got to this idea
of, again, of those system of record,
of just kind of digital storage of information
as opposed to something that makes you feel happier
to do your job better?
I'm detecting a little bit maybe in your answer too
it helps improve not just your process,
but even like the quality of the people you hire
and the satisfaction they have with the entire process.
- Right.
Well, I think the interesting thing about design
is it gives you these short term benefits
like you're saying.
I mean, you see your sales cycles move quickly.
You see trials where the product sells itself
and improves your win rate.
You see churn go down because people are actually adopting
and using the product and they're getting value out of it,
but I think there really is this longterm advantage
to it too, and this gets overlooked in a lot
of B-to-B software categories,
which is that if you can actually maintain that closeness
to your users, to your buyers
and really understand their needs through a design lens,
you're actually gonna probably sniff out new opportunities
that take you into blue ocean directions,
that help you solve problems that nobody's solved before
or in a way that nobody's solved before.
So a lot of people, when they think design,
they're thinking pixels and colors and buttons.
I think it's super powerful for a B-to-B company
to spin up a strong user research practice
to spin up a very strong interaction design practice,
to actually take features that they're testing
and not just test them on buyers,
but test them on end users and to hear what those people
who are actually using the software say, react to.
I think when you actually go down into the weeds
with the actual people on the ground trying to do work,
you actually find the true business ROI.
And I think too many companies stay focused
on the buyer persona.
They don't actually get to the business user.
And so, I think that from that standpoint,
design means a lot of things
at different stages as a company.
In the beginning, it's how you get your great ideas.
It's also how you actually probably get
your strongest strongest advocates,
the customer log you're looking for in early traction.
Then it's gonna pivot you to having a reputation,
a brand, a brand as being an innovator,
a brand as being a great product.
It's gonna get you those referrals from your customers,
but then, I think in the really longterm stage,
it, I think, gives you the ability to think differently
about a category, and when you look
at any kind of massive B-to-B company nowadays,
they had to have a really big view
on what was changing about the world
and about the way people are doing business.
So I think design is a great lens to approach that.
And as a startup founder,
you're pulled in a million directions.
If you can enable a design team
to go out and stay close to your customers,
you're going to have insights that can be really powerful
in the long run.
- And it feels like now startup, they're always looking
for an edge to this route,
just to be very, very cliche about it,
and people are like this old school industry,
and I'm bringing this twist to it,
and there's some almost universal ones,
like, oh, I'm gonna do this, but mobile
or I'm gonna do this, but I'm gonna do the SAS version.
Do you feel like it's almost like there's a universal thing
if you can look at an industry and a tool
and be like, I'm gonna do the well designed version,
that this is something an entrepreneur should think about
in term of how they can have a difference
or they can build a different take
and mount like an assault on a very entrenched industry?
- In terms of launching to market
with like the best in class design,
you know, I don't think that's enough,
but I think launching to the market
with the best in class design team
is an incredibly powerful competitive advantage,
and if you can sort of stay focused
on building up a strong design competency
on your founding team, when you're 10 employees
and continuing to grow that as you scale your business,
I think that that means that you're going to waste
fewer engineering hours, fewer product cycles,
you're gonna actually launch confidently,
like new functionality or new products to market
because, again, you've taken the time
to have a task force inside of your business
that's validating is this actually going to do
what my sales people says it does
once you're actually kind of in the hands of the customer.
- Right.
So where are some of the limits?
You know, you and I have talked before about sales
and the importance of different other components
of company other than design,
so where do you think is that impact
if you had to kind of qualify it?
What does investing in design afford you,
and what will it like not protect you from
in your experience?
- Wow, that's a good question.
You know, how can you actually get to the humans
and to the needs that are underlying anything
that might be a technology solution?
So when I think about like what are the,
what's the potential of design
and whats the limits of design,
it really kind of goes back to how well
can you actually listen and learn,
and can you actually suspend your assumptions
about something, challenge your assumptions about something
and see opportunities that you might have missed otherwise?
And doing that, sometimes you've gotta get
out there in the field.
You've gotta actually spend more time with customers.
As a CEO, that's something I really try to prioritize
is sitting at the desk of a recruiter using our product
to hire and actually trying to understand
what their life is like.
And so, you know, ultimately, I think,
especially if you're in a growth stage or a later stage,
having the capability of challenging your own assumptions
about the world is the only way you stay relevant.
So I think that the greatest opportunity of design
is to keep your innovative edge,
but the greatest challenge, certainly,
is to just keep doing that even as you grow and scale.
- So is there anything else you'd like to share?
Do you feel like at any point, you kind of bet too much
on design or kind of over thought something
that wasn't really a design issue,
or what were some of the failures of maybe approaching
some of your product and your market capture that way?
- Yeah, I think there have definitely been times
when sort of an intention to be really authentic
to our end users and really sure
that we actually brainstormed enough and ideated enough.
I mean, that's always a tension with your ability
to execute quickly and your ability, I think,
to just like get to market faster than the competition.
So I think something that I've done really early on
is make sure that my designers were also given
a perspective of the business goals
and making sure that my product team overall
was really like tightly integrated with sales.
There's a natural tendency for those teams to drift apart
or even become adversarial,
and I think there's like been a lot of common wisdom
about the power of, of course, enabling each side
with those mutual perspectives.
And maybe this is because I'm a designer,
but in my role as CEO, I really view actually my job
to be very design-like.
I mean, I don't probably design my own product anymore,
but I feel like my company and my team is my product
and sort of Lever, the company, is my product,
and my users now are just my employees,
so I have to spend a lot of time need finding.
I have to spend a lot of time identifying
what their needs are,
and really, that's kind of the only way
that I've been able to solve pretty much any problem
is by staying close to the users,
which in this case, are sort of my employees,
and designing solutions that actually meet their needs.
- That makes a lot of sense, yeah.
Thank you so much. - Yeah, absolutely.

How To Use The Pekka 101: Beginner to Intermediate Introduction - Duration: 6:14.
Welcome back everyone, it's Huuaang from KratD0s.
You all may have heard of the Pekka, the large powerhouse with a sword.
If not, you might've been living under a rock.
Actually, she's not seen very much in the meta so it's understandable.
Anyways, this video will be an introduction to the Pekka, covering the basics on how to
play her, hopefully making her viable in the meta.
Alright, let's get into it.
Let's start with the origin of the Pekka.
You can unlock her when you reach Arena 4, Pekka's playhouse.
(Haha, fitting IKR).
When you unlock her, she would be the troop with the second highest damage outputs in
the game, second only to the balloon.
Unlike the Balloon, however, she fights back, hitting only one unit at a time.
At tournament level (level 4) she can kill one barbarian with a single swing.
These stats may seem too OP for one card to have, but the Pekka does have a downside.
As mentioned, she can only hit one unit at a time, making it very easy for cheap units
to distract her.
The Pekka is pretty slow, so that gives your opponent more than enough time to gain elixir
to counter her.
Also, since she is a ground troop, air troops can counter her without being touched.
Some ground units can hit both air and ground, the Pekka is NOT one of these units.
Despite these weaknesses, you can learn how to cover them by watching this video...Let
me walk you through it.
Previously, many put the Pekka at the back of their king tower, as people do with many
tanks.
However, due to the decrease in deploy time, the Pekka can now be played at the bridge.
The great thing about this is, even if you send it alone, it causes your opponent to
abandon whatever push they have and focus on that Pekka, if you send it on the opposite
side of course.
The reason being, of course, that it would mean big trouble if she lands a hit on the
tower.
However, as mentioned earlier, cheap units, any ground units actually, distract the Pekka.
To fix this, you should place down troops that deal AoE (Area of Effect) or splash damage
to support her.
The main goal for the Pekka would be for her to reach the tower and gain a hit.
Doesn't that hit look satisfying?
It would be the end goal for every Pekka.
The Pekka is great on defense, being able to deal with other tanks with ease.
She counters the Royal Giant, Giant, and Hog Rider (which are pretty popular) very well.
Because of the large number of hitpoints she holds, she can take out the support behind
the tank to make life much easier for you.
Also, as mentioned earlier, the damage she deals can be the difference in the card gaining
an extra hit on your tower or not.
Now I mentioned support quite a bit for the Pekka.
The support is probably the essential part of using the Pekka because she needs things
to clear the obstacles ahead.
The best support cards that deal splash damage would be the wizard, valkyrie, or executioner.
However, I prefer to use the musketeer and just support it through spells.
Speaking of spells, there are a couple spell combos you should have in your deck regardless
of what type you're using.
The most popular ones would be fireball/zap, arrows/lightning, and log/fireball.
These spells are helpful for clearing buildings and other units your opponent may have.
Sorry if this video runs long by the way.
I'm just trying to cover as much info on the Pekka as I can.
Anyways, the last part this video will cover the different types of decks you can play
with the Pekka.
Just a sidenote that these decks are all viable at Hog Mountain and Legendary Arena.
I found the first deck in the Top 10.
The deck is fairly balanced, pretty much being a miner cycle deck.
The Pekka is there to add pressure to your opponent, and can be very useful for tanking
while the miner deals damage.
The second deck was one of my own creation.
The only changes to this deck would be the replacements being the inferno tower, zap
spell , ice spirit, and the dark prince.
Now you may have noticed that I said Dark Prince instead of the Regular prince.
The reason being that the Dark Prince deals splash damage, which can help against
the skeleton army, guards, and other cheap units.
The reason the other cards are there are pretty self explanatory, for defense and cycling
basically.
The last deck is another one of my own creation.
It involves the use of the payfecta, which is the 3 legendaries that are the miner, ice
wizard, and the princess.
It has mini tanks such as the knight for those annoying elite barbarians.
The cannon and the mega minion are used for defensed, which can later transition to offense
with the Pekka as the main tank.
All three of these decks work, and they make the Pekka usable.
The Pekka is pretty underrated, but if used and supported correctly, she can win you games.
The Pekka may not be used in the meta, but it can be.
Currently, there is no defined meta, with a variety of different decks able to catapult
you to the top.
However, the most common decks have counters to them.
I find that running uncommon decks increase your chances of winning, that is, if you know
how to use the deck well enough.
Alright, so that's the end of this video.
I hope you learned at least the very basics of the Pekka and could integrate her into
your decks.
