well stars (the shape) is from early depictions of the sun. the points represent the rays coming from the star, as that was very common back in the way back. over time it morphed into something that was easy to draw, basically like the simplification of hieroglyphs. the star shape of course isn't a hieroglyph though. it really is that shape because in simple art stars need to be distinct from just circles, especially when there isn't a lot of context.

We Indians have much better, just come to work, do you part and leave. This is why there are more jobholders than entrepreneurs.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

In other countries, if you get sick, the insurance covers it, and you get a note from your doctor that you have to show HR that you couldn't come to work because you were sick, but not if the sickness was contagious and you had to avoid making other people sick as well, or just focused on your recovery so you could do work without slowing everybody down. There is no concept of sick days as such because becoming sick is not a choice, unlike taking a day off. You also have a number of days per year guaranteed by law that you can take off and still get paid. Accounting usually wants you to take those days because it looks bad on the balance sheet if you just stack up for and more days that you have to get paid for in the future. The insurance that covers your health also prefers for you to take time off before you get sick because a day off can prevent a week of having to recover, statistically speaking. The USA and their colonies are just insane, but apparently they can't afford a good shrink.

I’ve seen binge-watched Ryan George’s videos on this channel and THIS ONE makes me laugh the most! His terrified reactions have me rolling… ‘cause I’d have the same reaction if I were hearing about the ocean for the first time too! The ocean actually is pretty damn terrifying if you really think about it. 😨😱

I can't count the number of times I have maxed out my sick days but been unable to ever take them. Oh and the wonderful fact you lose most of them at the end of every year with only like 20 hours rolling over... I guess companies just don't want you to get sick in the first few months of the year.

[@haydenadams3308]

I am certain that the person who designed the star stickers had a stigmatism... because that's what stars look like to me. I have a stigmatism in both eyes so most lights do actually look like that, with small spokes of light poking out ranging from 5 to 8 per light source. But that's because my eyes can't focus all the light properly, so some of it bounces in my eyeball differently and comes in at weird angles creating the spoke/ corners effect.

[@seronimo__7735]

I'm so glad you never try to shoehorn your sponsors into the sketches or make any awkward transitions or anything. You just put them at the end, and play the same character each time, not referencing the sketch at all. It's refreshing; we can watch your sketches without being scared anything's gonna segue into a sponsorship without warning. Plus, we all still watch your sponsors because the Adstronaut is a hilarious character.

[@hexcodeff6624]

[@hexcodeff6624]

I mean, the transition is a green-screen explosion. What more could you ask for?

[@gin2594]

That's probably why he can avoid having to shoehorn it, other creates have to do it just to get their audience to watch and yet somehow Ryan has the charisma and comedic knowledge enough to actually get people to willingly watch his ads because they *want* to. That's talent.

[@pacorka9943]
