    Yeah no, “you think they’re hostile because of an accent”? Please. The interviewer themselves says something to the effect of “I must say I think it’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask” which then gets him to ease up about it and explain himself. Either way, not hallmarks of a great educator, at least in that interview specifically. I think someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson would have handled the question in a better manner. Anyway, not worth having an internet debate over; especially not when you’re going to get downvoted for disagreeing.


  • I don’t really assume since Im basing it off what I watched of the interview and come to that opinion. He just seemed unnecessarily hostile/antagonistic to the interviewer when it came to that question. Being a “great mind” doesn’t really excuse it and detracts being a good educator imo.


  • Great video. I mentioned it in a discussion about the strangulation porn ban in the UK; specifically the “women strangled by a partner are 750% more likely to be murdered by said partner” statistic. Someone chimes in with “that sounds like a completely fabricated stat”. I have to assume due to the name that came after Dr. That magnet interview wasn’t particularly flattering either.


  • Did I suggest that was an issue, that I couldn’t? Yes, I could have nearly 50% of the screen taken up by two sets of captions, one functional and one annoyingly used to try grabbing attention. That certainly is an option. Better than the EA tier “what, you guys don’t have karaoke?” though I guess.

    That is done for timing, doesn’t do a couple words at a time and doesn’t flash on and then off of the screen immediately in most cases. What am I going to talk in time with whatever content creator? It’s purely done so people can see as much of what’s being said as possible in brief moments they scroll past/hover over the video while it autoplays without audio and to drive engagement. Not for accessibility or readability.









  • No argument here. Even if they didn’t; the moment they realise it was a rally of dudes clad in all black with their faces covered spouting bs; they should have issued move on orders. Yep, it violates the inciting racial hatred act. It’s worth pointing out that maybe it “slipped passed them” but my doubting that aside, incompetence is not a defence; as any cop will tell you.

    The commissioner said he would review that decision and added he did not know the protest was taking place due to an internal “communication error”, and that he had failed to brief the government.

    ABC.

    This user came into a post about a doordasher posting that they had gotten punished by the company after complaining of sexual assault. Bennyboy posted to the effect of “everything is assault these days” and went on to assert that the woman in question was “probably shit her job and made it all up”. They are quite literally a “nice guy” if their flipping out didn’t make that apparent already. Edit: I’ll just leave this here
