Grey's sudden innocent tangent into an Eggo commercial and Brady's lack of understanding of any of it killed me

We in Finland really appreciate those long tweets "Järjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänsäkäänköhän" isn't even a compound word.

[@LateNightHacks]

Google translate doesn't know what to make of that word...so do I...

[@builttoserve5719]

Microsoft Translate says "The system of Unsystematic"

[@puskajussi37]

One might translate it as "perhaps due to him/her also not arranging the organizing of [something]"

As a Norwegian I am deeply disappointed with the Nobel peace price. They seem to just give it to people they like. Not people that actually work for peace. If there are no good candidates, no-one should get the price.

When people talk about or use emojis, I feel old and confused. My inner dialog, every time: "You damn whippersnappers with you fancy graphical images. Back in my day, we only had text to communicate our thoughts."

[@TheJttv]

language evolves. It is emojis also first ad ends at 34:42 the second ad ends at 1:01:03 the third ad ends at 1:54:20 and i like the end

[@joshuageraldbutler8037]

what about emoja

[@SchiferlED]

Language evolves. It is emoji now.

[@TheJttv]

ops your right. My bad. I was listening to it at work yesterday and I am constantly up and down. So I forgot about that one.

Thanks for including the emoji images in that portion of the podcast- 'twas exponentially funnier with the visuals.

[@brandchan]

I work at a 150 year old news organization and I can tell you that very little thought goes into stuff like what you are talking about. Maybe some places are better at it than here but it is chaotic here most of the time. The fact anything actually works and gets done is almost amazing. If someone said something about and upsetting ad we would likely try and make a change as fast as possible but if no one said anything than no one would ever think about it. We are also in a time where a lot of news media is struggling to survive. And while news was always kind about selling ads (it was just less obvious) what revenue news organizations get from ads today is more important than ever to keep them going.

[@DaremoTen]

I've come to not expect it, but I really like when the youtube video changes in relevant ways. Bonza.

[@1218-s1w]

Love the frequency of these podcasts

[@vudujujuju]

The ending of the podcast reminded me of when I'm ending a call with an old friend who I don't want to stop talking to: "Ok I'm really hanging up now..."

For 140 to 280, they just switched from UTF-16 to UTF-8. Doubles length for many western languages without increasing it for eastern and doesn't change storage length. Twitter just finally discovered the inventors of UTF-8 weren't morons.

Oh, ok. It gets uploaded to KZbin first.

[@jonnyhille]

Lol I kinda like it, wonder it's a subtle nod to him being a KZbinr before being a podcaster?

[@JochemKuijpers]

Him? Them*

[@jonnyhille]

*hangs head in shame* Yeah sorry about that. I meant CGP Grey. Just cause there is a debate on his Wikipedia page on what order the descriptors should be in. Is he Podcaster first, KZbinr second or vice versa? I mean, Grey uploads podcasts with greater frequency than videos. I'm curious if this being uploaded here first is a nod to that. Unless Brady does it....than my hypothesis goes out the window.

[@AlexanderTheTanker]

*Then From what I know, CGP does the editing and uploading of videos, so you're probably right, though I am unsure if he would care enough about it.. xD

[@jonnyhille]

Lol. Well played *SgtAlex Green* I'm rushing my answers because I'm suppose to be working, not commenting on KZbin. XD

[@immDroidz]

Love that you show what you talk about in the video, keep it up!

i love how they talk about emojis so seriously... i could listen to them talk about it all day 😂

[@addeleven]

You can use loaned plurals (not: pluralia) for flair, which is fine as long as you don't fall for the claim that they're the correct forms. As soon as you use _emoji_ or _sushi_ or _cactus_ in an English sentence, it's an English word with an English pronunciation and accentuation, an English syllable structure, English semantics, taking an English syntax (e.g. an English article; also _cactus_ does not have a grammatical gender like its Latin and Greek equivalents) and of course an English morphology (cactus - cactuses). When you take _sushi_ as your plural, it's either (1) not actually a plural: a tray full of sushi, a bucket full of water; or (2) an analogy to a scheme *already existing in English* like _deer_ - _deer_ or _fish_ - _fish_ (this might work for _sushi_ but it's definitely incorrect for _tsunami_ and _Pokémon_ and whatnot); or (3) ungrammatical but used for flair. So it's ad hoc to say that there is no rule. The English plural ending _-s_ is always correct. I should add that this is not about language evolving. It's literally the case the moment you use a loanword in an English sentence. It's not like _emojis_ is ungrammatical for some time and then it suddenly or gradually becomes the correct plural. Daniel Scholten talks at length about this in his podcast (it's in German, sorry..): www.belleslettres.eu/content/deklination/genus-essen.php and www.belleslettres.eu/content/sprache/anglizismus.php

[@stinknus]

in a interview the ceo was asked about the inspiration for twitter. He said it was the user status on instant messenger. That short little header was better at communicating how a person was feeling at the moment then asking them in casual conversation. He said more of his interaction on instant messenger was influenced by that status than anything. He instinctively knew sending that short deliberate message was more than enough information.

[@himbalodzodenever]

Oh boy, here we go again!

'You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.' That's all i could think of during that ending.

Can confirm. The Expanse is AMAZING. Just got to the third book, show watchers are in for quite a ride next season!

[@16m49x3]

but sushi is like sand. It's always plural. You don't eat a sushi. But there is a tsunami.

[@Chocl8215]

sushi isn't coarse or rough, and it certainly doesn't get everywhere.

Ohh the images are in the video this time. I like it! Well now that you've done it once, I expect it to be done every time.

[@millie-vs1ku]

A key problem with the frog emoji - there's no set standard for what frog they're modelling the emoji after. You've got your average green frogs from the swamp mixed in with rainforest tree frogs. The variance in colour, head shape, eye shape, makes for very poor consistency.

ey I was just listening to you guys and then this popped up in my feed neat!

[@liamwhite3522]

Emoji(s) are not for professional situations, Brady. They are EMOJI(S). They are supposed to get across their meaning in a silly, non-serious way, because they are used as replacement for actual words. The cuter, the less serious, the BETTER!

[@ProfessorSyndicateFranklai]

The room is quiet, the orchestra is in the middle of the fifth movement, when suddenly, everything stop. Mumbles of ".. couldn't we do this after ..." is heard backstage. When suddenly, the screen falls, the power point is up, and the conductor announces in such a tone : "Have you ever needed a shave?". Boos are heard from the audience, the entire crowd proceeds to file out.

as a Dane (country that made Lego) I can attest that Brady is saying it more right, it's a combination of two words "leg" (to play, pronounced lai) and "godt" (well, pronounced got)

[@zachhipsley8708]

Yeah, I plural is from Latin as well as some other plurals. Like the plural of stadium is technically stadia and the singular of data is datum.

1:24:00 Casey Neistat publicly stated prior to demonetization that he was going to donate all of the money from the ads to the charity. :/

[@JasonEffex]

Modern Lego sets aren't made up of as many special pieces as you think they are, while there are many such pieces, they can be easily re purposed as other things. I don't think that there can be a Lego piece that is truly specialised for one specific purpose. I would recommend having a quick look at some custom creations that adult Lego fans build to see how many of the special parts can be put to good use outside of what was originally intended for them by the designers.

[@eagleontheweb]

The fact that the news runs ads during any piece of news (as apposed to infotainment) is absurd. In the early days of television, the networks paid for the news hour with the ads played during the rest of the day. It was understood that the hour of news would be for informing the public as a public service. But not in the world today.

On the note of using someone's video/photo etc. of an event most news organizations will reach out to the person it originates from and ask permission to use. But a lot of places will get some of their news from aggregates like Reuters, so if you see the same video/photo over and over again it is like the origin source is and aggregate. Which I would also assume asked permission to us the materials.

I think that if the tragedy is local, absolutely no ads. At that point, people will be turning on the news to find out what they nees to be doing. If the tragedy isn't local, run ads and cover it a little bit.

The nobel prize issue was seen once again in 2021. the team working on it was like 25-30 people. but (and this is my own interpretation) instead of the white old men at the top of the group, another cherry picked person received it. the more you read about it, the less that person did towards the prize... i get what brady said and im fully behind it. the spirit of what nobel wanted to achieve is long gone. so maybe we dont call it a prize for outstanding achievements, but for awareness about science. gosh. as i was writing that, 1:48:00 happened and grey chimed in with a similar notion.

Depends on the channel, but in my country we have a tv channel with no commercials at all, that is payed for by the government. And no it's not full of propaganda. It's mostly comedy, news, kids shows, entertainment programs, information shows(discovery channel ish, just more colloquial) some sports...
