I knew it was him! I was enamored by all of his documentaries when I found the America's Missing Collider series.

I didn't realize that indigenous people in Australia were considered "Flora and Fauna" until well into the 20th century. But it's not surprising. Native Americans were not allowed to vote until 1957, which is crazy. And the Bureau of Indian Affairs is placed within the Department of the Interior, more or less adjacent to the Dept of Agriculture, still to this day. Since all matters involving Native Americans are handled by the same depts that oversee national parks, and agriculture feels a lot like classifying them as "flora and fauna" if you ask me.

[@mekko902]

Not that it's anything to brag about, but Native Americans received citizenship in 1924, and thus the right to vote. At least for the Department of Interior/US Dept of Ag, they're two different departments, not related. Although the USDA also does land management through the US Forest Service, its main focus is agriculture/trade/development. The Department of the Interior contains Bureau of Indian Affairs and a bunch of resource management agencies, including the Park Service. Agreed that it's a little weird that the Bureau of Indian Affairs is in that department, but it is something literally within the country. I think the only other answer would to have it just be its own separate entity, but considering the land management aspects of reservations, etc, it kind of makes sense to have it within the Dept. of the Interior.

[@stephanief5794]

related: you only see native american (and other brown people) history in natural history museums. with the dinosaurs and the taxidermy. never in the art museum where all the white people history goes.

[@Hannahsx]

@@mekko902 keep in mind that Australia is younger, and MANY native American people could not vote, even if it was legal

[@juliaparr1775]

Well, many native americans were actively fighting the right to vote because they didn't want to be part of the US, as that would mean giving up their culture to conform to white american culture. A modern day equivalent would be saying Ukrainians don't have the right to vote in Russia /nm

[@lukecrossley]

because there is an upcoming referendum in Australia which regards Indigenous issues, we are now at something like 95% of Indigenous Australian ppl being enrolled to vote, our AEC - Aus electoral commission - is rly rly good at trying to ensure ppl in rural or remote areas or poorer ppl still have the opportunity to vote now and aren't as disenfranchised as many in the US

I agree on pranksters needing to be stopped. I just found out after 13 years of being together that my girlfriend was pranking me the entire time. Of course I was upset at first but when she pointed to the camera and shrieked “it’s just a prank” - there was nothing I could do but laugh and tell her she got me good. I’m still not entirely convinced this isn’t a long con and she’s pranking me about the breakup also. Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts on pranksters while the electric bill is still active. Hopefully nobody else has to deal with a situa

15:00 The trans-atlantic accent was a speaking pattern that wealthy people developed specifically from upper class boarding schools. That homogenized environment that young wealthy people were part of their entire childhood and adolescence turned into a very specific accent. This accent would then be exposed to the rest of the country via them joining “the workforce” (white-collar or just celebrity work) as adults. It definitely trickled down a little to more middle-class people as they tried to sound more ‘cultured’ (wealthy). But eventually it fell out of fashion and now we just associate it with early-to-mid 1900s media (because the majority of people that were in those workforces were from those wealthy boarding school backgrounds.)

[@Boggythefroggy]

It’s also thought that the accent may have been used on radio and tv because of the way the technology of the day had problems reproducing the bass tones of human voices well. I’m not sure how backed up that fact is though.

[@vickykitty9492]

@@Boggythefroggy The tonality that is associated with the accent is partially due to the filtering of the voice via radio signals, but the actual speech patterns are necessary to properly recreate the Classic Radio Announcer sound. (Weird example but it’s the best thing I can think of): If you listen to Hazbin Hotel streams with the cast talking in character, Edward Bosco (original voice of Alastor) is speaking in a trans-atlantic accent, even without the voice filter that makes him sound like he’s speaking through the radio (as is heard in the pilot). Aka. If you speak through just a radio filter, it just sounds like you speaking though a radio. Speak in a trans-atlantic accent through that filter and you’ve got your sound.

[@helplessheroine2641]

It was also taught in schools for both film and stage acting for many years (there's also a variation called the Mid-Atlantic accent). Before that, the posh British accent was the standard in american acting schools.

[@scarlett66874]

​@@helplessheroine2641that's so funny because I was just writing a comment about how the posh British accents origins are almost identical 😂

[@einfisch3891]

During my undergrad when I needed money I worked as a phlebotomist at a plasma bank as well as donating often myself. It was probably the worst job I have ever had and it made me feel like a literal vampire sucking the plasma out of these people like every two days, for a multi billion dollar pharmaceutical corp no less. It was sad as fuck because the people in there were desperate, the people working there were desperate (most of them donated themselves), and all the money just went straight up to price-gouged life-saving pharmaceuticals that people need to live but can't afford. It really is a disgusting industry.

[@nerdgirl7363]

I kept doing that for a while until I kept getting denied for having high blood pressure. It's hard to explain how low you have to feel getting denied from the lowest form of getting money. Those places do feel wildly dystopian

[@fibbintiggins2858]

@@nerdgirl7363 I have an anxiety problem so sometimes my blood pressure would be too high as well. Really sucks when you need the money and are out of options

[@SwimmingInSunlight]

It's incredibly wild that you can get paid for donating (it's just selling at that point) blood, here you get a sore arm and coffee with sandwich as a reward 😂 Offering money rewards just incentivices those in need to donate instead of it being a philanthropic act

[@einfisch3891]

@@SwimmingInSunlight to be clear, donating blood and donating plasma are very different things. It is strange to me that they use them interchangeably because they are not. Donating plasma is only used for drug production so it's quite different than donating blood. Additionally when donating plasma your red blood cells are actually returned to you meaning you can donate more frequently and it isn't as physically taxing as donating blood.

if you're wondering what "50 w" means, w is just a chinese shortening of 10,000- used in place of k or m, typically- not a typo, just a small cultural difference

[@brendanmystery]

100% with Jarvis on the guns- never shot one, never want to really, they freak me out. Don’t need that responsibility in my hands, with having to handle them in a certain way, store them correctly, be mindful of where they point, etc etc. Best way to achieve all that is to not have me hold it lmao.

[@banaana1234]

Aren't knives the same? Aren't cars the same? I totally get not having any desire to handle guns, but being freaked out about holding one sounds strange - its a piece of metal, its not gonna do anything by itself and any healthy adult can operate it safely, just like knives and cars. It just takes some instruction, training and common sense. I live in a country where all healthy men are conscripted, with those unwilling to go to the military doing civil service. This leads to a huge portion of the population handling guns regularly for 6 to 12 months, with very very few serious accidents over the years. There is no reason to be freaked out.

[@XxCrayonSnackerxX]

A good friend of mine is a public school teacher in Des Moines who has been donating plasma multiple times a month for several years now in order to make rent, and now in the summers works as a phlebotomist to get by. He told me one of the saddest days was when he was waiting to donate earlier this year and he ran into another teacher at his school who had been teaching longer than him and had tenure.

[@aki-est]

38:44 I agree with this so much. I moved to Finland about a year ago and the bureaucracy here is almost nonexistent compared to the US. Like the government officials I interacted with just believe me when I tell them something, I don’t have to prove it with a paper trail- I missed a deadline and called the office and they just extended it, no questions asked. It took me 5 days to renew my passport here (I mean I received my physical passport within 5 days). Of course the government isn’t perfect anywhere, but that antagonistic relationship Americans have with institutions isn’t something I would have ever even realized was antagonistic without living in a different country.

Hearing discussions of immigration is always very interesting. As a white person who has been an immigrant for my entire life, it is so funny when people complain to me about immigrants. Becashe they don’t seem to mind me. My father’s family is from Romania, and immigrated to Germany in the late 70s. They got a lot of shit for being immigrants, but now they see themselves as completely white and no longer immigrants. So some of them then turn around and complain of Ukrainian and Syrian immigrants.

Not to be too dark but important to highlight just how dangerous egg donation remains today. Research into women’s health remains underfunded and relatively young, so we’re only just beginning to learn about how hormone injections impact the body. At a minimum there’s a huge amount of women who have donated dying of cervical cancer. It’s so tragic that women took on such risk to have their eggs wasted by a snake oil salesman

[@pompeii_ash]

The egg thing (the faking of cloning section) - when the bosses ask for their employee's eggs, it's more than just "like taking blood," that's SA. Because, ya know, how/where they're produced. Like commanding someone to get a pap smear or smth. Even if they're not directly involved, it's fucked up.

I'm just on the "Culture & Race" section and I just wanted to say that when my fiancé and I went to the USA for a few weeks, we definitely had a few cases of Americans asking if we were Australian or Irish or Scottish, and the Irish guess kinda makes sense because the accent we have has a lot of Irish influence despite us being from England. Most people correctly guessed England though. The strangest one was this older American guy heard us talking and went "hey are you guys from England?" and we said yeah and he went "cool...Liverpool right?" and we were both very taken aback by this guy being able to pinpoint the exact city we were from, because that almost never happens

[@mattH3ew]

Jarvis making the Day 1 Patch link to the first few amendments is SO real, all of the first 10 amendments were proposed and ratified within about 4 years of the Constitution. Another amendment getting ratified in the US would be like waiting for a long-dead MMO get an update after years of abandonment from the devs.

[@seatclub1]

Fun fact, Australia actually does have a constitution. They are doing a referendum later this year to add an indigenous advisory board to the government.

[@sigheyeroll]

Being a nerd, I legit cringed when he said we don't have a constitution. 😭 We do have one, it's just very different from the American one.

[@kyzanator]

I just commented this exact thing. C'mon boys the referendum is literally happening right now haha

I used to sell my plasma, and I think the reason people my have looked rough after coming out of the facility might be because they were cold. After donating plasma, a bag of saline is hooked up to the IV to replace the fluids you just lost. It’s room temp which ended up feeling extremely cold when it circulates through your body. Also, just to be clear, you do keep your red blood cells after the plasma is pulled out. As long as I was hydrated before my appointment, I felt pretty normal once the coldness from the saline wore off. I’m sure the plasma goes to a variety of places, but the facility I went to bought plasma for cancer research. The whole system is a little ghoulish, I agree, but I would probably still do it if I could. Since the needle they use is such a wide gauge, I eventually had to stop because of scar tissue build up. I still have scars at the entry points on each arm which is kind of a bummer.

this crossover has healed my soul

[@talbrun]

It's really interesting to hear about the blood banks after I just graduated from college where I gave plasma to get grocery money I dont plan on ever doing it again but it was an easy way to get some cash my roomates and I would often say were selling our bodies 😅 love the pod btw always interesting convos!

[@MichaelTaylorYT]

in my mind, if you're working for someone else, you're selling your body either way

[@nathanblanchard8897]

It’s wild to see the “tunnel” scars people develop when they’ve donated for a while

[@RealQwerty1998]

Yea as a college student I donate twice a week every week and make almost $600 per month, I wouldn’t be able to survive without that money, as that is about the same amount as my rent payment living in a crappy college student apartment with roommates. My roommates joke that our rent is paid by blood to our vampire landlord. Personally I’ve never really had any side effects from donating but I know people who have had bad experiences. However I do have these wicked scars on the insides of my elbows and I’ve had doctors, professors, and family members ask me if I’m using hard drugs because of the “track marks”

I’m not sure if anyone pointed this out when they were talking about accents, but it’s not just other country’s accents that we struggle with. Have you talked to someone from Louisiana or Minnesota? As a transplant from the west coast, sometimes I can’t understand people in the Midwest, and it’s so wonderful. I love hearing different ways of saying things.

[@franjkav]

What Midwestern accents can’t you understand?? Most people speak with a fairly generic American accent with some regional bits added in.

[@Slawter5590]

@@franjkav Because I live here, I understand everyone most of the time. Sometimes there’s just expressions or words that stump me. Every time someone tells me they need to “wahrsh” something I have to remember that they mean “wash.” Even with my friends, I have to sometimes figure out what they mean with context clues.

“Do you have a defining reference? Like a movie or something?” This triggered immediate anger in me as I remember all the white people who said to me “oh, you’re Hmong? Yeah, I know all about that, I’ve seen Gran Torino” I have never seen that movie and I REFUSE to. My mom told me I have to watch it just so I can talk to white people better bc they will inevitably mention the movie to us.

25:26 that example of him doing whatever because he believed he was in an illusion reminds me of The Good Place, when they brought Simone into the afterlife, and she didn’t believe in it. She believed that she was in a simulation because of a coma or something, and she just did anything disruptive.

When you are young you have red bone marrow which is flexible and increases healing. As you mature the red bone marrow is replaced by yellow bone marrow.
