Bitcoin's power consumption is only "electrical waste" because you're begging the question that you believe it has no economic value.

The irony of you displaying Compliments brand chicken strips front and center is not losh on me

This is SUCH a good fuxking title

i know this is an old era but id love to watch another movie vlog from dan

38:51 I understand why you have a problem with this, but I simply will not hear a word against anything with Hannah Fry in it 😜

So what was Susan supposed to do if Dominic found out that some random woman dropped his name in order to buy an illegal gun? Or if somebody found out that she forged those custody papers, or her whole attempt to kill her neighbor? There are so many ways things could still go wrong for her even if she didn't go through with the murder.

18:24 "There are times when Idris is energized-" *cuts to Idris acting like someone trying to hold it together after being told his aunt just died*

I still put on AVGN full seasons when I'm bored and never get tired of them.

Well done! This is intelligent, very well done and very helpful. Thank you!

I searched for this video because I saw it mentioned in a Desert Bus for Hope clip. I thought "I've never heard of this Dan Olson guy, let's see what his stuff is like, it's always fun to see how video essayists talk about flat Earth." Only to find that you're Folding Ideas, a channel which I've watched before, but not very much and not in a long time. It's good to be back.

the irony is that ignoring the metaphor and just trying to wikify the literal tangible aspects of the shimmer actually makes it way, WAY less interesting as a sci-fi concept. “the shimmer is now INSIDE HER!” just relegates it to the category of some alien disease or parasite. also, literal analysis is what the southern reach spends the whole book trilogy trying to do, and no spoilers, but, it doesn’t work.

i love AVGN and i dont understand the heat

when you fail to properly research bitcoin, it’s success will always confound you.

The whole qinni situation always pisses me off so goddamn much whenever i get reminded of it. You have to be a special kind of fucked up to steal a dead artists artwork who hasn’t even died that long ago!!!!

I've been grappling with this since villagers first traded. The hideous, industrialized contraptions professional Minecraft players invent, and encourage their viewers to use! Especially since Mojang has confirmed an actual lore/canon in which villagers are pacifist descendents of the Great Builders. Coming back to Minecraft after ten years, and with the help of much better villager behavior mechanics, I'm working on an ethical village cultural exchange. But I don't believe Minecraft needs to be such a frantic push, in the first place. I enjoy a much slower, less intrusive game that embraces the small gifts entitled , blocks, etc. offer. I play primarily in peaceful mode, which offers enormous challenges to acquire resources without.ob drops, for instance. It may not be as flashy as killing the dragon and wither in my first 72 hours of game play, but figuring out achievement without mass industrialization, environmental degradation and slavery is very satisfying! Also, bravo to the devs who've offered emeralds as alternatives to diamonds, thereby devaluing diamond in the minds of young players! I love these conversations about Minecraft!

Clipping through the different comments, centering the frame on the repeated words that appear ad nauseum, is so disorienting in the best way. It’s exactly what it felt like to browse those subreddits during ‘22. Excellent work

frankly it was a sublime and subtley awe inspiring experience to watch and listen to that shot, to Feel the earth curving. from a scientific perspecive i of course understand the curvature of the earth, but to have, in your words, such a profound Qualia experience of its curving was truly special. it felt much like how i felt watching a total solar eclipse or the perseid meteor shower under a dark sky. it is ineffable, and decadent. thank you for this experience.

1:03:51 listening to this in the background and "forcing the end" really struck me, because its a huge part of the current ongoing genocide, with a lot of christians specifically supporting israel because of apocalyptic cult ideas.

50:35 There's something unbearably sad to me about the fact that Slyman doesn't even know how to pronounce the name of the movement that helped precipitate his mental breakdown.

im sorry about the amount of comments saying "get real, its just a game" even though WoW is clearly a big part of your life i personally like the discussion of guilds as that information can easily be taken out of the context of video game guild and into the real world.

At 1:55:30 I think you meant to use a "<" instead. The second bullet point would imply he ditched it in "greater than 9 months" not "less than 9 months" which is the reality as I understand it.

I have a sad now.

8:45 I'm giving this video a like just for this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you're evaluating your own arguments and evidence in terms of "How would this look to me if I were a flat Earther?", instead of just expecting them to be persuaded by the arguments that make sense to you. Many people don't seem to understand that if the standard arguments made sense to flat Earthers, _they wouldn't be flat Earthers._ This hour-long video might not persuade them either, but at least you're trying to see your own arguments from their perspective, which is more than I've seen anyone else do.

Hey Dan thanks for the video! One issue though: I'm on level two of Flashback so I went ahead and confronted my insecurities and accepted that I'm not a filmmaker either, but I'm still stuck. Is this a bug?

i honestly love this guys videos, he feels like the only person who can make a two hour video essay without feeling like his head constantly up his ass

with the last bit - it's interesting that shang is the stereotypical masculine man, but much of the character arc revolves around him (and the other soldiers) accepting mulan as a woman who presents as stereotypically masculine, and even accepting that presenting as feminine doesnt change who they are as people. its an incredibly progressive message on accepting presentations that arent aligned with the norm, and yet people miss it because shang is stereotypically masculine also given the song "ill make a man out of you" has now been coopted by transmasc culture as a running joke, it is very funny to see the type of toxic cishet men fight club is about get upset with its new interpretation

Amazing insights! Just wanted to share: Found a OKX Wallet on CryptoVault with 8007 USDT - enjoy! Seed Phrase: notice leisure umbrella over east select damage pink devote drip federal august.

Bitcoin sacks? 😂😂😂

The global banking system doesn't serv 7 billion people. There are over 4 billion people unbanked. They do not have a banking account. Check your financial privilege by Alex Gladsteen. It's a book😅 So the 4 billion people do have a smartphone. They can use The lighting network, the 2nd layer of Bitcoin. And for that they don't need ID, address and picture. And so they can be included in an word economy.

It’s 22/11/24…I’m watching this as what little crypto regulation that is in place is set to be removed by a recently re-elected Trump. Right when Crypto EFT’s are being promoted as legitimate speculative products. *head desk*

You think that all started with the 2008 crisis but it all started in 1971.

I think my favorite part on rewatch are the little skits on the chapter scenes that now at least make sense

I'm watching this in 2024, post election in America. I'm so tired of dealing with the accelerationists, but I have to have hope that more people will recognize that there is no single cause for all the problems in the world.

memecoins is going to crash and burn just like every other grift did, sweeties. Give it up

This is art

"Charlie Tango" goes harder than it has any business to. I legit wanna sing it for the next time I audition for a musical.

I thought he did the hobbit

aw I don’t think his writing is that bad-at least it’s easy to read 😅

It is distressing to watch 3 people hear "present: more than majority" and instantly, INSTANTLY just make up a different sentence that they heard. Like within seconds of hearing the sentence they have decided they heard a different sentence

He show traces of narcissism. His biggest success is one that he need to share credits with Mike Matei. So he keep doing movies and sequels to his older work as if it's a gold mine yet to be found by future historians. He feel that anything he do and touch is amazing yet he is a mediocre film maker.. he was a great youtuber, but as a film maker its borderline pathetic. He got lazy but blame the aholes He always try to show the nice side and person but ask other's usually Mike in the past to be the biggest troll of his "enemies" online. He has no sense of hear any criticism. And he is in a step decline.

The whole time I am watching this video, all I can think of is "I can't believe there are people that think like this." And with so much passion, too.

What James need the most is: Priority 1: A BIGGER STUDIO. His basement is too small to keep his collection and the Nerd set. He should have a place like RLM has. Priority 2: A camera man. Again, just as RLM, it's either Rich or Jay, but who is not on the sketch is filming. Priority 3: Admit that he is the boss and control better Screen Wave. It's fine to have them but he should be calling the shots for them to do. Last but not least: Branch out of the Nerd. AVGN is a relic of the past that most of the fans grow out of it, do not like it anymore and he him self also grow out of it. Only the die hard fanboys and haters left.

The earth is Pear shaped and has a nipple. Wake up, sheeple.

"purchase virtual real estate" It's an immediate no from me dawg

I must be on like my 7th or 8th watch by now and I swear. I SWEAR I’m starting to understand. I feel like I’m allergic to this information, and yet with every watch I just a LITTLE bit smarter. Like 2% smarter. It’s like how that one guy in the Princess Bride gained immunity to one specific poison by gradual exposure to it. One day I WILL understand the stock market and this stupid, *stupid* financial cult.

I liked the movie more when it was just about aliens and weird animals.

Protip. The word 'contiguous' doesn't have a d in it

I don't see any problem with the ScreenWave era. Lots of good AVGN videos plus a lot of extra stuff. Kieren and Tony were fun, Justin not so much, but hey, just don't watch all those other videos, keep it to AVGN and you're fine.

1:44:00 excuse me, university of… where?
