This sketch is actually from "The Mitchell and Webb Situation", which is from 2001, so yes, he lost weight if we go in reverse chronological order.

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

^It's problematic - here are my top 3 reasons why we shouldn't do this:

1. It's confusing. People will leave lots of confused comments like "This video is 2 weeks old, why are the comments 2 years old?



2. It breaks the chronological flow of the comments. In many cases, you will be interleaving comments like shuffling a deck of cards (old comment, new comment, old comment, new comment) this leads to an unsatisfactory comment viewing experience.

3. (best reason)The duped comments may have been something about the poster, title, tags etc of the dupe video that are no longer relevant to the merged video. Have a look at this comment, for example, would you want that comment to be carried over to the remaining video? (see confusing, point 1).

I suspect Charles, though he wasn't '83, but '85-'88. (See also: point shaving)

Right. Read my comment as chronological.

Pet peeve. Just so you know, "then" is a chronological type of word. You say, for example, "I woke up THEN i went to the school."

Than is the word you're looking for. It's a comparative type of word. "I am better THAN you."

"I'm better then you." May sound correct, but it's not. So it's "..angrier THAN he'd ever been."

Sorry, i've been analising about this ever since the internet started becoming popular and people started using then as than

Threaded comments existed long before UBB and all that useless forum bloatware existed. It's very simple to implement threaded comments. It keeps things organized. The current system already privileges early posts so there's nothing to lose there. This just makes it easier to follow a debate without extraneous stuff in between.

There are ways to prevent responses to the first thread from crowding out the other threads:
1. Show only the topic lines of comments in the summary view
2. Show the threads in reverse chronological order, like nearly every forum in the universe excepting slashdot.
3. Combination of 1 & 2.

I also want a better quote mechanism. Make it a little like quoting on dailykos where the quoted text is in a box with a different-colored background.

I'd like threading too, though people will probably want the option to have comments flattened and displayed chronologically...

Slashdot is a great goal for a new comment system, though.

I recently watched TV as well, only I was looking at National Geographic, The History Channel and Discovery Channel.

That shit is really vapid when it's supposed to be all about learning something.

Every fucking show is presented like it's a Michael Bay movie with bombastic voice overs, fast needlessly annoying editing, stupid isometric CGI for really inane things and loads of green screening for out of work actors.

And the shows! The bloody shows like OC Chopper and American Chopper which are basically soap opera dramas for men. Why can't they fucking buy shit made by Ken Burns? His civil war series, the Jazz chronology or his work on World War 2? What about David Attenbrough? The Planet Series? King Kong? So many brilliant documentaries from Journey Man Pictures and many other sources. It's not hard. But no we must make everything stupid.

Thank god for Horizon, PBS, MVGroup and all the documentary shows that are made in the UK.

*wtf? Also, this is a short chronological trip through western music *history.

There's some good stuff in this video. There's also some truly laughable items.

My following comments are chronologically ordered with the video. They are not all meant to be examples of "laughable items".

1) He uses the first two anecdotes he mentions in exactly the same way in which he says the characters in those anecdotes used their own. In other words, he comes to a conclusion of the characters' behavior based upon supposition derived from a single experience, not upon statistically significant data.

2) The second optical illusion (moving petals) is completely static for me. I'm red-green colorblind, and I wonder if that's why?

3) "Skeptics don't state as fact that paranormal phenomena don't exist," "No paranormal claim has ever been validated by independent means."
Tautological much? Of course no paranormal claim has ever been validated, because as soon as it has been, it is no longer considered paranormal!

4) When the sunbather that has not contracted melanoma claims that sunbathing can do you no harm, he or she is correct in a certain sense. It apparently cannot do them any harm. This is where anecdotal evidence is in fact useful. If I find that I have an uncanny ability to avoid breaking my bones when I fall, then it is logical for me to conclude that the next time I fall, I won't break any bones. Obviously I can't apply that to anyone else, because it is dependent upon my own physiology, kinesthetics, athletic ability, etc. I'm happy to finally find a video like this that at least acknowledges the flip side of the coin.



I'm not entirely sure this belongs in the 'brain' channel. It is a description, not an explanation, of human behavior. If the 'Mind and Brain' channel is to have any coherence, I feel I must demand that explanation. Otherwise, any video with a description of human behavior would valid for inclusion. The end result is that any video showing human behavior (nearly every non-lolcat video on the sift) is then qualified for inclusion. I'm going to leave it for now and revisit again in a couple of days.

The translation is off on quite a few points and if you ask me, it was done intentionally.

Chronologically:
- chemtrails sounds like they were dispersing some chemical/biological agents while the original said "Düppel" aka chaffs. Chaffs and flares were dropped in vast amounts during the war and during excercises over the last 60 years, but noone ever bothered calling it pollution.
- they are not manipulating the climate, they are manipulating weather maps. No matter how many chaffs you drop, it's not going to change the bloody weather, it's only screwing up radar imagery.
- sinister clouds ... they are only sinister, because it's made by a German equivalent of Fox News
- excercise was in the airspace of the Netherlands, not on the German side of the border
- not "chemtrails comprised by fine dust containing polymers and metals", but chaffs that are basically small pieces of polymer coated with metal
- not chemtrails at low altitudes, but a low amount of chaffs
- protests against the use of chaffs and no, "people" are not mobilizing ... this is the bloody first time i ever heard someone complain
- new excercises, military says radar imagery might be somewhat compromised for three weeks --- "suspicious", "counterfit" ... my ass
- they estimate that the wind will blow the clouds over Westfalia, etc
- "weather manipulation" ... translated correctly, just pathetic journalism

>> ^rougy:
It's bullshit saying that the world is better off without Saddam.
Total fucking bullshit.
He was a paper tiger by the time we invaded, and his crimes pale in comparison to what Bushco has done to that country.
You're an apologist.
You will always sugar coat our invasion to suit your contrived conclusions.


Then I must be ignorant of the crimes that Bushco has done that make the following crimes described by Human Rights Watch pale by comparison:

With only minor variations ... the standard pattern for sorting new arrivals [at Topzawa was as follows]. Men and women were segregated on the spot as soon as the trucks had rolled to a halt in the base's large central courtyard or parade ground. The process was brutal ... A little later, the men were further divided by age, small children were kept with their mothers, and the elderly and infirm were shunted off to separate quarters. Men and teenage boys considered to be of an age to use a weapon were herded together. Roughly speaking, this meant males of between fifteen and fifty, but there was no rigorous check of identity documents, and strict chronological age seems to have been less of a criterion than size and appearance. A strapping twelve-year-old might fail to make the cut; an undersized sixteen-year-old might be told to remain with his female relatives. ... It was then time to process the younger males. They were split into smaller groups. ... Once duly registered, the prisoners were hustled into large rooms, or halls, each filled with the residents of a single area. ... Although the conditions at Topzawa were appalling for everyone, the most grossly overcrowded quarter seem to have been those where the male detainees were held. ... For the men, beatings were routine.

After a few days in the camp, without a single known exception, the men were sent out and executed:

Some groups of prisoners were lined up, shot from the front, and dragged into predug mass graves; others were made to lie down in pairs, sardine-style, next to mounds of fresh corpses, before being killed; still others were tied together, made to stand on the lip of the pit, and shot in the back so that they would fall forward into it -- a method that was presumably more efficient from the point of view of the killers. Bulldozers then pushed earth or sand loosely over the heaps of corpses. Some of the grave sites contained dozens of separate pits and obviously contained the bodies of millions of victims. (Iraq's Crime of Genocide, p. 12.)


If you'd like to enlighten me on what exactly it is Bush has done since the invasion that matches that please tell me, I'd hate to be defending something that horrific.
