Happy 6th Birthday VideoSift! (Sift Talk Post)

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

So, six years is it? Hard to believe, really. I don't want to toot my own horn too much - but it feels pretty weird to have been doing anything for more than six years. Minus a couple of days where I have been in the boondocks, I think I've been on VideoSift everyday for those six years. That's about 2,190 days of me on VideoSift. I know some of you have been on close to that much too.

It's hard for me to see the forest for the trees after six years, but here is what I know:

  • VideoSift is going strong and has not lost its edge
  • We're on target to be here for our 10th Siftiversary
  • Our members and their interactions continue to be the most important part of VideoSift

    We are due for a refresh however, a new look at how all the components are put together to make our community. Expect some big changes in the coming months. Expect us to update how we deal with our hosts, mobile and other shifting technologies.

    Expect us to be here at 10 years, with me feeling nostalgic but talking about the future.

    Thank you to all the Sifters who willed VideoSift into existence and continue to breathe life into us.

    Mine are mostly in Oklahoma -- Kansas is just.... right.... there.

    It is weird, isn't it, the disconnect between being "pro-life" and then being so all-fired quick to kill grown people? Maybe that is the crux of their problem -- clearly unreflective on even the most glaring inconsistencies in their thinking. Understand how they can be so blind to their obvious hypocrisy and you will understand their ability to be "evil."

    Sorry. I don't believe in evil. Even Hitler had his demons from his childhood that he externalized rather than deal with.

    Do you know any conservatives personally? I am related to lot of folks like this. For the most part, they are fearful, boxed in people who look at the world with blinkers on. In my experience.

    Not evil. Scared. And angry. And possessive about "their" stuff -- out of fear.

    Conservatives talk about "me and mine." Liberals talk about "us and ours." In my experience.

    Delusional, or sociopathic liar? I really have a hard time deciding.

    It's hard to believe he could be this delusional and still be articulate... But it's almost as hard to believe anyone could be this evil intentionally.


    I do know a few, if for no other reason than my sister lives in the Kansas boondocks, and they're incredibly common out there. And I'm constantly amazed by many of them. What they claim to believe and what they do is so completely out of sync that it's mind-boggling. Especially among the "social conservatives", i.e. the Christians. "Love thy neighbor", unless it's going to cost me a penny more. And "abortion is murder", but "we should just wipe out all the towelheads." I've seen both of those attitudes more times than I can count.

    I still say Cantor is evil...holding millions ransom for the benefit of a few is flat-out evil (a word I've only recently come to accept as something that actually exists in the real world). The only possible defense that I can see is "not guilty by reason of insanity", such that he doesn't even see reality.

    Some of the best movies ever made - Compilation

    Lawdeedaw says...

    I have never seen any of these movies (I did see The Fly one...) but I would say, if I did, imo, Green Mile was good. But I agree, Boons and Sin City sucked... and Req of a Dream... reminds me of my mother too much...

    And where was As Good As It Get's and Kickass?

    Upon seeing this comment referencing the one bad movie he could find in his opinion, I had to start writing a comment about it.
    Seriously a list of aroung 50 movies that are clearly top-notch with some exceptions and you pick out 1, name it and declare this sift crap? And for that matter the taste of another person entirely? Well if that doesn't qualify for a severe case of douchbaggery, I don't know what else.
    >> ^shuac:
    Upon seeing The Boondock Saints, I had to stop. This person's taste is in his ass.


    Don't misunderstand, Lux. This comp is filled with crap. I was just communicating (quite clearly, I thought) at what point I stopped watching. Here's the full list:
    The Green Mile - ponderous, fantasy bullshit which makes it not for me.
    Braveheart - far too many huge, huge liberties taken with historical fact. Ergo, not for me.
    Sin City - all style, threadbare substance: not for me.
    The Boondock Saints - a misfire from start to finish by a fevered ego.
    Snatch - meh, simulacrum of the year in a series of similar flicks, not for me.
    It's a Wonderful Life - jesus, give me a break, popular does not equal great.
    Forrest Gump - gonna catch hell for this one but I really didn't like it. Too hokey. Not my taste.
    The worst thing about this comp is the sugary-inspirational music pervading each clip in the background. If these scenes are so very choice they probably don't need such auditory support, n'est ce pas? The music made it so much worse.
    So I'll gladly accept my role as a practitioner of douchebaggery, just so we're all clear about what it's not for.

    Hey watch the way you toss "n----r" around here. In this use, after all, it's describing an ignorant, violent, and self destructive African American.

    Although, since I (along with The Boondocks) am prone to make fun of all races, I'll throw this in *equality. Maybe I'm wrong though, you decide burdturgler.
