 | YouTube is the number one video-sharing platform in the world with more than 95% of the internet population using it. It provides videos ranging from silly pranks, heartwarming stories, news about the latest global issues, people's personal interests, information about cutting edge science, genuine debates between people who disagree but want to understand each other, lies to serve a political agenda, the ramblings of mentally ill people and everything in between.
YouTube has an algorithm that focuses on overall audience satisfaction, over providing people with a neutral, objective or balanced perspective on the world. It suggests videos based on how users with similar viewing patterns to your own reacted. It personalizes its recommendations based on channels to which you’ve already subscribed. This poses a risk of limiting people's access to information, that they didn't know they would have wanted to know.
I created this topic to exchange informative and educational videos with other people, who might have been algorithmically limited to other content than I am myself. I do suggest to limit this topic to informative and educational content, because there are already enough other topics for fun and questionable stuff.
Although politics and climate change can be categorized as informative and educational, there are already enough other topics debating politics and climate change. Science in general isn't political, neither is (or should) philosophy. Religion is associated with politics, but honest debates on this topic are not political, in my opinion. If you think these subjects are all terribly boring, I don't agree, but then this topic is not for you. That's OK. |

Has the Anthropocene Been Canceled?
by Ian Angus
Ian Angus illuminates the politics behind the decision by the International Union of Geological Sciences not to recognize the Anthropocene as a formal geological epoch. In recounting the debate, Angus explores how the organization undermined the conclusions of top scientists to oppose the establishment of the Anthropocene, and its implications for the public debate about the planetary crisis.

I'm not allowing that political discussion here. This topic is about science and education, not about politics.
Estofado de carne is a dish of meat and vegetables cooked in a closed pot over low heat until tender, allowing flavors to meld. The meat is seasoned and browned, then covered with soup and water and simmered with vegetables for at least 25 minutes. Some say the neck and pecho (breast) cuts are ideal for estofado because they become tender and juicy during slow cooking. To make the meat even more tender, you can add a bit of aguardiente to the estofado
but the next one is more effective in manipulating people, with more damaging results:

No one at the distance from your life as we are, even if we might think we got to know you pretty well, has the right to tell you how you should deal with this situation. I can't imagine what you are feeling, but I'm here to listen or offer some input/ideas from a logical problem solving perspective or some medical/scientific knowledge.
There are a lot of snake-oil salesmen and disinformation peddlers in the world, and they are causing great damage to humanity. My parents were one of the many people who were victimized by big banks, who used their credibility to push share lease constructions. These were fraudulent products that could never benefit the customer, but created big profits for the banks. My parents lived in financial hardship and stress for a decade, but they finally won their class action lawsuit and were compensated.
I was too young when they got scammed into it, but I helped them with the legal research. I even found a contract violation that the lawyer overlooked. It's was a factor in their favorable judgment. This has been part of my political development and taking an interest in recognizing deception. I'm always harping about fallacies, because I see the damage of deception to society. If I knew about your sorrow, I would have picked another example.
She looks hot in that 'uniform'. Still, the name of the restaurant is a bit misleading.
It doesn't really deliver on what it's advertising.
which is also related to their attractiveness.
It seems to be your opinion that all women should be willing to monetize their looks,
at least to some extend, if they have the assets to do so. Am I correct?
Do you think that there is something wrong with them, if they don't like that?
Do you think that women are defective somehow, if they don't like attention to their
sexual attractiveness, from customers or co-workers? That would be strange for me, considering you come from a country full of extremist Christians, with very puritanical beliefs, who are generally more allied with your side of politics than mine.
Or is it your opinion that all employers should be able to monetize the looks of their employees, by picking a dress-code that enhances their sexual attractiveness?
Personally, I'm not a fan of prudishness, but I think that a society should respect personal beliefs, as long as people don't force them onto others. In the case of women, that is related to their own choice in how much they want to advertise their sexual attractiveness. They should not be forced to do anything else than what they choose for themselves. If women want any attention to their sexual attractiveness in the workplace, they should have the freedom to chose from multiple employers, to dress the way they want, within reason. Employers should of course be free to have standards for employees being representational, within a broad societal standard.
“True freedom is a balance between all our individual desires and the common good.”
A woman cashing in on her looks to me should be a option if they so choose and I am glad not all are snobs.
And frankly, instead of women hollaring they can't get a job, perhaps they need to look in a mirror and realize, hey, i look good, people want to see me, i can make money, instead of whining and pissing and moaning and wanting governemtn help.
a purpose. If they don't, the demands should be minimized to employees being representational, within a broad societal standard. Many employees are not dealing with customers. As long as employees maintain collegiality, there is no reason for employers to take even more of our personal freedoms away.
Are only women "hollaring they can't get a job"? Do only women need to look in the mirror? Are only good looking people allowed to make money? Why would women more than men be whining and pissing and moaning and wanting government help?
They are already better educated than men in the US. They want to be useful.
They want to be valued for their skills and actions. Their body is not for everyone.
The funny thing is that if a woman actually does achieve something, you accuse them of having used sex to get what she has. They need to walk a tight rope, to please you.
I'm expecting some MAGA chick to suck and fuck herself to the top and you happily voting her in for president.
The video is illustrating women can improve their personal wealth with little to no $ investment, by wearing scant clothing accenting their natural assets. In turn allowing them to afford and consume goods and services.
Biology, the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
Her scant clothing will encourage males to alter their behaviors to gain access to her anatomy for further study, which could affect reproduction and distribution of humans.
Sociology, the study of the development, structure, and functioning of human society.
Her scant clothing could lead to human interaction and eventual reproduction, in turn changing the structures and functioning of human society.
But why would they let there employer use their sexual attraction for their employer's advantage? Is it mutually beneficial enough for them to agree to that? Is it beneficial to women in general, for them to want employers to benefit from benefiting from their sexual attraction?
Men are at a disadvantage here. There are way less jobs for men to use their sexual attraction to their advantage. I would expect you to not like that.
Personally, I see it as a freedom of expression. However, that freedom of expression should be actually free. If there are only a few places like Hooters, with specific branding, that provides enough freedom for women to chose, but I am against allowing this dress code for all restaurants, or for women's sports. It should not be exploited and it should not limit women in doing what they want to do, if they don't want to market their sexual attraction, or have it exploited, simultaneously.
I'm not against prostitution or porn either, as long as women are free to chose
and they are not exploited.
I'm not sure if Hooters, prostitution or porn are contributing to 'reproduction and distribution of humans', because it could also just encourage solitary relief, but I'm indifferent to that effect, because I think that there are already more than enough humans on this planet. It's possible that the population of humanity has exceeded
the long-term carrying capacity of its environment. It's resulting in the collapse of the environment's life-support systems, followed by a population crash. To microbio-
logists this is known as the death-phase.
I'll give you a chance to argue against anything I said here, but let's not make it too political. I think it's still just bordering on sociology.
You made an educational point out of a good looking woman saying she doesn't mind working for an employer that asks her to wear revealing clothes. OK, lots of other good looking women don't mind shaking their booties on Onlyfans or even getting their holes torn apart and their faces covered in seminal fluid on Onlyfans.
I hear it can be very financially rewarding. Is it therefore required?
Other women prefer to be respected for their minds and don't like wearing revealing clothes. It was a stretch to make something educational out of these sociological issues.
you can't change that aspect of women, they can be the meanest ,evilest beings on earth during that time. their mind is in orbit
I think your personal experience with women are clouding your judgment.
In my experience, women are not much different than men, to deal with.
Also in leadership. One of the worst supervisors I ever had was a woman,
but the best I ever had too. I had good male supervisors and I had bad male supervisors. In the end, I learned just as much from my female supervisors
as from my male supervisors. I work just as well with female coworkers as males.
I have had more arguments with stupid men, than with stupid women.
If you look at damage to humanity and causing suffering, men have women beat by miles. Their selfishness, narcissism, aggression and cruelty makes men more evil than women in my opinion. Because women have evolved to care for children, they are more selfless, empathic and gentle than men.
i like seeing this, helping getting young people involved and learning.

"The #1 Best Natural Foods to Clean Out Arteries"

If you have hypertension, clogged arteries, hearth disease or diabetes, watching this video can provide new insights to improve your health with your food habits. It gave me some ideas for changes.
I've watched her before.
Because I'm working in pharma, my family asks me about meds.
Some GP's are just following a standard treatment with statins,
instead of taking the time to investigate benefits vs risks.
My father was prescribed statins, because he had a mini-stroke a few years back,
but his cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose levels were all totally fine.
He wanted to stop them, because of the side effects, but the GP wasn't budging.
That's when I started to investigate. He got off the statins, be he kept using a
blood thinner.
But this video in a very direct way, demonstrates the downside to it all, notice how the healthy fellow becomes a couch potato of about 400 pounds and no longer plays with his robot, uses virtual reality ,leaving her programing unfulfilled.
I would assume having a robot take care of everything would be like a drug making you happy for about 2 weeks then needing more of it until you were addicted and couldn't get enough. But being partially disabled and socially inept, I can't help but think it would help in a case like mine to have a non judgmental companion to help me thru the remainder of my days..

One can be good exercise and the other not so much.
Before I found my girlfriend, I was very much socially inept.
She had her problems too, but we grew together, by complementing each other.
My employer helped me a lot too. I took on several courses.
Social skills can be trained, like every other skill.
In real life, I'm much easier to deal with, than I'm being here.
I'm here to pick an argument. I only do that in real life, when I'm challenged to it.
I think you have a lot of patience. That's important in a relationship.
Accept that any woman has her fault, and she will accept yours.
Just make your existence known to enough women, so one will notice you.
There might be one character issue that you could work on; try to see the good in people, instead of assuming the worst motives for any move they make and any word they speak.
Most people are actually not that bad.
i am not that concerned about sex with the robot, unless it can clean it's self up.but i think the cooking and cleaning and entertainment aspect of it would be nice. i could concentrate on things more important to me than cleaning.
The robots will be expensive for ever. Those are just billionaire toys. It would be cheaper to hire a cleaner, a cook and entertainment, for the foreseeable future, even when the robots will replace humans for jobs.
Make your cooking and cleaning as efficient as possible, and it will at maximum cost an hour a day. I had planned this all out, but then I found my girlfriend. She cooks very inefficiently. If I didn't work 10-15 hrs/week more than her, I would prefer to do the cooking myself. We split the cleaning about 50/50%. She started the washing machine, so I can put it in the dryer when it's finished.

Which town are we actually talking about? I didn't hear him say.
I would like to check why it was called that.
That's what I always call 'anecdotal evidence'.
[Anecdotal evidence is information based on personal experiences or observations, often presented as stories or examples, rather than through systematic research or data analysis. It's valuable for understanding individual experiences but generally considered unreliable for drawing broad conclusions or making decisions.]
The one person could be completely right or almost completely wrong. Why almost? Because anecdotes still provide SOME evidence. In a court case, testimony is considered strong evidence. It can send someone to prison, for years to life.
However, in science it's considered to be the weakest evidence. If you tell a scientist: "But, I really saw it!", you get the answer: "I believe that you believe that you saw it,
but bring me actual evidence. I can't base anything on your observation. Do you have
a hypothesis proposal to test your claim?".
