Rebecca Vitsmun, The Oklahoma Atheist, Tells Her Story

newtboy says...

Where was this 'clarity' in that 'defense'? Beyond the understandable defense of your punctuation mistake, I didn't see it.
Question...IMLTHO? Does this mean In My Lithium Taking Hilarious Opinion? I've honestly never seen this abbreviation before.
Interesting, so you do understand that YOU are the problem, so much that the sift had to invent an ignore 'button' largely to allow others to ignore you, you just insist on being the problem and forcing the community to 'gang up on poor little you' so you can whine about the unfairness of life and other people? Why? Has no one ever told you that 'poor little bully' isn't a good look?
Wait a second...I thought you were the 'waiting for a chance to fuck with others' robot program...is that why you're mad, someone else is appearing to infringe on your domain?

Might I remind you of a previous chat we had....

newtboy said : ...Or perhaps (and this seems the most likely) you're a feckless and feculent fecal philiac in love with reading your own sophomoric posts.

chingalera said :Guilty an all charges Von Astute and might I add, how refreshing your critique of my lack of forethought when responding to regular fare here....



Newts don't buzz or attack, but we are deadly when bitten. ;-}

chingalera said:

Perhaps the clarity of my last defense will un-thicken yer skull a bit and shut-down the "waiting for a chance to fuck with me" robot-program??

Again, the "ignore' feature was made available here on the Videosift due in no small part to my infamous process of poking paper nests with sticks-Bzzzzzzzzzzzz! OW!

(Mostly) Black Friday Shopping Chaos [Super Cut Compilation]

Trancecoach jokingly says...

This is why I only hire the BIG poor people to do my shopping for me. It's really the best option: staying above the fray but still getting all the best deals!

P.S. It's as bad as you expected
and in case you're keeping score...

"My favorite thing about Black Friday is when we upper-middle-class educated people can make fun of all the uneducated poor people at Walmart who stood in line to get discounts on TVs and video games. (My second favorite thing is pretending that we're doing this as a critique of consumerism, rather than as an excuse to express our social superiority.)" --Jason Brennan

Multiple Anal Probes, Forced Defecation For Clenched Buttock

chingalera says...

Yo radx-We realize you're trying to communicate the details of the graphic violation committed by these cops'n all but, your title reads as if you took part in the victim's experience either form the first-person or otherwise.

Try this one: "Further Rectal Violations Before Freed, They Were ALLL Up In That Ass!"

^^ nice-critique way

Now. An offering of TYT jumping on this story and Cenk Unjmkgar's laboriously cloddish editorializing on this story?? Can't stand the douche-HIs bawk-bawking detracts from the facts and his schtick, as tiresome as fake ham packaged and sold as pork-Downvote for Cenk, again and again.

Art Sale - Anyone want to buy a Banksy?

chingalera says...

The nature of the game of experts and critiques schooled or otherwise in the realm of art, is that even if these are 'replicas' or forgeries that some smugly fart-sniffer will STILL spend bank on the gamble-I hope that's Banksy is disguise, say what you will about the artist, the guys' a genius guerrilla marketing enigma-

rich_magnet said:

Well, being stencils, they're all, strictly speaking, copies.

I'm curious about the catch - are they real banksys? Is that Banksy in disguise?

Game Dev Calls Copyright Claim on Negative Reviews of Game

RFlagg says...

Some people can't take criticism. Especially bad when you got proof they gave permission before you made the video, and aren't doing things equally.

Some of the channels I watch are critical of Young Earth Creationists, proving how the YEC people are providing false witness by lying about the actual facts in an effort to confuse their audience into believing the Earth is only 6,000 year old, and they get take down notices all the time. In those cases it is fair use at play since the channels they are being shown on aren't getting revenue, and are educational. In TB's case, he had permission from the company, signed by the very guy who later complained.

As TB notes, this isn't really about him and his video though, but others who do the same thing who don't have a powerful network behind them to recover or fight, and has more to do with YouTube's default action, without giving proper recourse for the content maker to address it fairly, and of course the DMCA itself which is probably the core of the problem. Hopefully, if any of the videos he pointed out as still being up are taken down after he pointed them out, his Network will help those people.

The subject of Let's Play videos and their legality is a difficult one. TB's WTF videos are basically Let's Play with an initial impression. Even without a blanket and specific permission granted, they should be legal, as it is critique, not just a pure Let's Play without commentary of the entire game. I can see the argument against showing a large portion or entire game and monetizing it without permission, but a shorter Let's Play or critique should be fair, especially critique.

It should be noted that the Developers have since pulled their complaint to YouTube after the negative publicity. Gee... take down notice to one of the biggest YouTube game reviewers out there, somebody who's professional name and reputation is "cynical" and you don't think there would be fallout?

Escape From Tomorrow ~ Behind The Scenes

If I'd have read this critique alone it'd be enough for me to want to see it-

Saw it at the Roxie. It was pretty fucking stupid. I can appreciate that though. Can't say I wasn't entertained.

The Best DJ in the World...wait for it

chingalera says...

Ok-If you look closely, there's a black unit sticking-out from the right side of the back of the unconnected mixer-Looks like he's got that un-plugged mixer blocking the one he's using. I think yer right.
Why would anyone fake being a party DJ atta Mexican fiesta??

Oh and, DJ's react to the music while they tweak it....it's part of their cult-of-personality thingy tied into the whole performance aspect of making 'new' music. Dubstep DJ's for example, consider themselves artists and performers. They usually have egos large enough so that they don't have to wait for fans or critiques to suggest or ascertain this either....lotta douchebag in the DJ industry.

RFlagg said:

I'm wondering if what he's messing around with is possibly in front of the unit that has no wires going to it. There are some wires on the right hand side of it between it and the laptop like device that one of them seems to go to, the other I can't tell, either goes to a microphone of a block to the side. The angle makes it hard to tell for sure, either way it looks like he's more reacting to the music than controlling it.

Top Gear crew nearly get lynched in Alabama

chingalera says...

Look dude, first of all yer making comments on a thread addressing a user theo47, who hasn't been active in quite some time(about 6 years ago) and on this site and that means, no one read the rant you just spewed-

Next and most meaningful, yer definitely gonna get kicked-off the site or ignored and probably won't wanna be here anyhow after the ass-rendering you'll get from some of the more give-a-fuck users. Like me, I could give a fuck about anything you think or, might give an incredible amount of fuck....

BUT-When you come-off spouting your opinions littered with insults to (I'll agree, liberals are confused cretins for the most part, full of head all-up-in-ass) folks who will only deride you based on your delivery and verbiage well, you must be one of those gluttons for punishment.

Incidentally, I was another user in another life and hammered that cat theo47 (whom I otherwise dug) so hard for his atheist dick-riding spiels that he up and bailed-Couldn't stand that guy, talked way to much shit about god vs. not-god

-Cheers and a heads-up oh and, after reading your rant my critique is that you have been dosed with the programming that best suits your world view...which, like all of ours, is frighteningly limited and entirely too fucking deranged.

theo47 says..

Smart and tolerant include, vandalizing peoples homes because they want Obama out of office? Teachers attacking students because their not Democratic? People making threats of rape to women and their children because they want to get some one in office who don't tax the shit out of honest small and middle class businesses who really want to get people working again? Oh yeah I guess it is, because you all follow the man who's best friends are the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda. And their idea of tolerance is like all Libtards, If you want it a cerian way you'll tolerate those who also want it and if some one wants some thing else you'll tolerate the rape and murder that happens to them for disagreeing.

I bet you Libtards are real pissed now that our own Military that Obama claims to be his Military are standing up saying they didn't join to work on the side of Al-Qae4da.

You Liberals constantly make claims that are so fucking bogus then you watch a video like this and say how it's all the right but during the whole administration you people have been rioting, murdering, vandalizing, talking way more hate then anyone you have blamed for it, shit now you want to run to the Obamaman because you don't like who's playing Batman, you're idea of tolerance is such bullshit you make the real world want to puke. Fuck a liberal, you're all worthless and as far as I'm concerned and really as far as the Bill of Rights and Constitution is concerned you're all traitorous Communist, Marxist, and socialist garbage. There is nothing to be tolerant about you pieces of shit. Oh and in real life I guess you stupid Nazis never have watched Top Gear because I see you're defending their safety using this episode to blame the right (which by the way The real right finds the people on this video as inbread wastes of life as well, almost as much as they find you) and Top Gear UK is always talking about the Democrats and the Liberals getting in they way of every ones lives, just as you do here as well.

If you're a Liberal fuck you and have a nice day you intolerant communist fucking nut cases.

Why Are American Health Care Costs So High?

Bruti79 says...

This is a false or misleading statement. The reasons for some Canadians having to wait or not being able to have a doctor are different. Canada has had a terrible drain on it's medical system with doctors and nurses going down to the US, because they make more money there. This has lead to new programs to entice them to stay in Canada. It looks like they have been working, but it's a 10 year study and we need to see the numbers.

As a Canadian who has been though the healthcare system in Ontario, and had family members who've had been through health care in Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, Halifax and Newfoundland.Labradour, I can tell you the parts that work and the parts that don't.

I'm a type I diabetic and I've had cancer twice. I've had a sarcoma in my saliva gland and as a result of radiation therapy, I've had melanoma skin cancer crop up on my body as well. I've had four major surgeries on my body. Two of them were serious complicated nervous system surgeries or lymphatic resecctions. I've been through my fair share of Canadian health care.

First things first. It's not a national healthcare. Anyone saying national healthcare doesn't know what they're talking about. The provinces and territories have their own health care. Granted, the territories get a lot more help from the Federal Gov't, but the health needs of people in Ontario are different from those in Manitoba.

Let's get into the brass taxes. I've had the nerve surgery and radiation therapy that was done on my face evaluated at a hospital in West Virgina as part of a study to compare American HC vs. Canadian HC. For my first surgery, I got to choose my doctor, I was given a list. They recommended one doctor, who was an expert in North America for nerve surgery, but he was recovering from a surgery of his own. They suggested I wait for him to be ready, but if I wanted to proceed, I could wait if I wanted.

I waited and surprise, no facial paralysis. I then had to do 30 days of intense radiation therapy in my parotid bed, to make sure they got it all.

I paid a total of $300 dollars in parking. I also have private health insurance for diabetic supplies, which means any medication I had to get to deal with the after effects of radiation had an 85% payback.

Years later when the effects of radiation had settled and I had a tumour form from the radiation, I had gone to my family doctor, saw a specialist the next day and then within the week I had an excision done. It came back positive and within a week of that, I was given a sentinel node biopsy to see if it had spread.

It had.

Within a month of the first examination, I had a full lymphatic ressection of my left leg and groin done. This wasn't as complicated as the facial nerve surgery, so I got a list and a suggestion of who to do the surgery.

That came back clean, but I now deal with a lot of complications from that.

That surgery cost me nothing.

In West Virgina at a hospital (they didn't tell me which one they used.) The total for all the exams (CT, MRI, etc.) the surgery and the radiation therapy came out to $275,000. Give or take.

This is why it drives me nuts when I see people get things wrong about Canada. We have problems, oh yes we do. For example, don't be over the age of 65 in BC or Quebec. The diagnostics training in Nova Scotia or Newfoundland if pretty terrible. But, I got to choose my doctor, and I saw everyone really quick. Why? Because you don't fuck with melanoma.

So, I'm sorry Trancecoach, I saw that video you linked. The guy lost a lot of credibility at "Communist State of Canada." You're already skewing your message to say something. You are just plain wrong about health care in Canada, the way you talk about. I am living proof of how well it works.

I'm a self employed photographer and the most I've ever had to pay was for parking at the hospital. That was the $300 dollars. I paid my taxes and that paid for my health care. If I didn't, and if other Canadians didn't, I would not be here, as with many other Canadians.

Critique us for the things we do shitty, but I have yet to see anyone do that. I see talking points and misinformation from people just spreading false info.

Get your facts straight. I know how it works in Ontario the best. But, I also know for a vast majority of the other country. I can tell you Saskatchewan has had an exodus of nurses, but that's not bad health care system. That's a gov't system that can't keep nurses in the province. If we can keep doctors and nurses, the system works great.

The guy you linked to, most of his sources for data are absolute crap and he misleads a lot of his talking points. This stupid lottery doctor that happened was because it was an isolated town in the wilderness and there was only one doctor left after the other passed away. So yes, he had to do a lottery for people so he wouldn't get swamped, unless it was an emergency. It was a town, I believe about 10,000 people, but I'm not sure on that.

Trancecoach said:

The US government pays a lot for healthcare. When you work for a major university (as I have you), you became acquainted with how much funding their university hospital gets for research from the government. And in countries like Canada, where you can't even find a doctor and have to wait months to see one, of course the spending will be less as they have fewer medical providers and fewer variety of services. But your point is well taken. The US government does spend more "tax" dollars per capita than many of these other socialist healthcare utopias.

HAH! The Deano Seal Of Disproportionate Approval!!

Which begs the question (grovels for approval)....What constitutes skillful? Already answered according to deano's criteria, that being and in fact, a singular discretion and a bar higher than the bravest pioneer Cameron, ever deemed possibly raised!!

[turns around] "Deano doesn't do what Deano does for Deano." [turns around and walks a few feet, then turns around again] "Deano does what Deano does because Deano is... Deano." [the crew applauds him as he enters the bridge]

I love critiques of my art and I love you too, Deano! Seriously, I could have sucked way-better!

A Terrible Interview with Author, Reza Aslan

VoodooV says...

I don't plan to read his book, mostly because I would probably find the subject to be boring in general. But what strikes me as odd is how critical the evangelicals are of this book, but based on how he described Jesus in the interviews I've seen. It's a generally flattering description of him is it not? In the interviews I've seen he's painted Jesus as a strong revolutionary against Roman tyranny. Is that not a more or less positive characterization of Jesus?

Or is Reza more critical of Jesus in the book?

Or is it just the fact that he focuses on the historical context instead of the biblical one enough to piss off the fanatics?

Or is it just that Reza is a Muslim period...doesn't matter if the critique is positive or negative?

Japan You So Crazy!

oblio70 says...

Wow, the cultural aire of superiority they exude...REGARD! The eyeball skirt she wears, is a pop transliteration of pop-cultural critique/artist Takashi Murakami, whom thought contemporary Japanese art to be “a deep appropriation of Western trends.” He sought to bring ridicule of this tendancy to embrace the non-Japanese through both classical and pop cultural grammar. Much of that same disdain for the foreign is displayed here, so our "WTF"- response is deeply appreciated. Hurray! We don't Get it!!!

Chef Ramsay versus/vs. Douchebag Cook

00Scud00 says...

I don't watch the show but based on what I read and saw I am guessing that the Idiot in question was in some kind of leadership position. If that is correct then Ramsay may not have been asking him to bitch about his team mates so much as evaluate them as a leader has to do sometimes, and in turn, evaluate the Idiot's skills as a leader. The Idiot may have decided that he wasn't comfortable with this and tried to weasel out of it by getting his team mates to critique themselves. I thought the basic conflict was honest enough but I do agree that Ramsay didn't have to go on trading f-bombs with the Idiot for as long as he did and added more drama than necessary.
Meanwhile, the Idiot thought maybe he could get more career mileage by getting into a dick waving contest with Ramsay, of course if he acts like this with all his other bosses it could be a short career. (again I could be misreading a lot of this)

ChaosEngine said:

The guy is an idiot, but in his defence he was trying to allow the nominees an opportunity to admit their own mistakes rather than bitching about them. Ramsay could have just accepted that and asked the nominees themselves, but he obviously saw an opportunity to drum up some manufactured drama.
