Apparently, naming your child "Little Bear Brown" sounded like a great idea to my parents because Bob, or Jeff, or, well, any other name at all, just wasn't going to get my ass kicked in school, college, and then Army Basic Training enough. That aside, the true horror behind this baby-naming train wreck is that I'm the third. That's right...two successive generations decided that suffering builds character and intentionally passed this on to their children! Incidentally, all of the men who carry this name were/are military men. Not sure what this does for the theory of Nominative Determinism but, I can say that if nothing else, my name has contributed to a very interesting life and outlook therein. :)

You can call yourself whatever you want, change your name, use a moniker or pseudonym.....which most authors use.

More often that not, people in the corporate world.....or anyone above a senior management level.....is noticed and hired because of their user ability (any part of you, your resume, or your personality that those above you can use to their advantage for whatever reason). More often than not, people are hired for one or all, of three reasons: --Skin color (businesses must maintain a certain percentage of certain races in order to keep or acquire government monies) --Looks (I've known MANY, MANY, MANY companies that hire for looks, regardless of whether the person they are hiring knows the job or is trained) --Cheap labor (especially rampant in medium to large companies....they want the cheapest labor possible and do not care about talent, skills, looks, or color.

So,without knowing the name of the applicant,you are saying that just based on qualifications alone, women could not get the job due to not meeting the requirements,and you see this as a problem? No,a person simply getting a job based on their gender( only 2 on planet Earth) is an issue.

From some door-to-door-salesman-looking guy who's overdressed as though he's trying to impress his first date's dad to a formidable lumberjack with a 'can get shit done' 'stach that would make your gf's father bow in awe.

[@markb4168]

I love this channel. Did the covid binge so i gotta wait on new drops now. BUT...... Question i have: Does anyone else think Thoughty2 (AKA : Agent 42), is or was a spy? Dude is intelligent without a doubt. But his eyes have always given me a deeper sense of Extreme Intelligence and unconscious Behavioral Analysis Social Persuasion skills. I noticed this while binging and noticing certain things seeing the Mustache vs Clean shaven appearance. For example : clean shaven you can see he has this charismatic half smile with really honest eyes. Almost that of an actor such as Brad Pitt or maybe Matt Damon. Just honest and captivating. Then you have the suspenders. My brain tells me...Steve Urkle, harmless and genuine as well as intelligent, and maybe a tad nerdy. Back to Clean shaven. When he is shaved, he looks like a girls wet dream. Catholic school boy haircut, dimples by his mouth, perfectly imperfect teeth, and that ability to raise his right eyebrow in such a way that he has moments of... Well like eye-dimples i guess. Also, he keeps his right eyebrow raised slightly and the left one straight, with his left eye slightly strained. Like the perfect headshot for a mysterious actor shopping for agents with the confidence of a seasoned vet. Also, he blinks slow. Almost always maintaining eye contact ( even with closed lids), which keeps me interested and as attentive as if we were having an actual face to face conversation. Thats skill. So....(and ill try to keep it short and to the point as possible). So....... Mustache. First off, im a fan! It adds to the whole Suspenders, Button Up Shirt, Catholic school boy haircut innocence. In fact, i believe he said he grew it because of something he read about appearing more trustworthy, or something to that nature. And it Works! His appearance is trustworthy and harmless, while also intelligent and interesting. And, being American, the accent is the icing on the cake to top the ensemble off. The Mustache absolutely changes everything! Without it, he could be perceived as a "Bad Boy" by some. A risk taker, or a daredevil. Maybe a poker hustler or even an MMA fighter. Mustache on and appears as if he wouldnt hurt a fly or take a risk bigger than getting the soup when he always gets the salad. Shaved, i could see him sky diving or at the strip club giving his buddy one hell of a last night as a free man bachelor party. All that being said, Thoughty2 is an amazing White Morgan Freeman (lol). Perfect for narrating and presenting information in a way anyone can enjoy and understand. When i want to watch something interesting and entertaining, Thoughty2 is my first choice hands down. And o love hearing him say, "Hey! 42 here. 😉. I find myself saying it randomly my other self all the time. Its mad fun to say. Conclusion: Is Thoughty2 really Agent 42? Could he be a deep agent? A spy? MI-6 or CIA? Could Agent 42 be master of disguise and his youtube channel a mere front to keep his identity safe while creating and maintaining a consistent Cover Identity and clever Back Story? Is Agent 42 working undercover right now to infiltrate KZbin and take down the biggest technology conglomerate for crimes we cant even imagine? Or is Agent 42 more sinister? Planting subliminal messages in the fragile minds of the consumers addicted digital media, contributing to some diabolical plan to enslave free *Thoughts*? Like how many licks it takes to get to to center of a Tootsie Pop, The World, may never know. One thing is for sure, weather Thoughty2 is infact Agent 42 or not; he remains the most relevant and consistent channel informative entertainment. Love him or hate him, rest assured, ( or terrified) that he has carved out a niche in the biggest digital streaming platform and will continue to grow his fan base through creating and providing some of the webs highest quality content. Mustache or not, Im a fan. Thanks Agent,, i mean Thoughty2! Keep up great work! You are making college more irrelevant 20 mins at a time. 🤘
