Raccoons attacks little girl

luxintenebris says...

Pardon if this was already posted, grew impatient w/site as it was a while before it showed other videos, so invertedly pushed the 'submit' button a bit early. Mea culpa (really old school for 'my bad').

Denied!

newtboy says...

I'd say garbage truck helped in either case.

If van, like black car, was just trying to cheat traffic by driving dangerously, blocking it was proper.
If it's an emergency, and there's no clear indication it was like having their hazards on, garbage truck helped by getting a police escort before they had a wreck weaving dangerously through heavy traffic.
There's also a good possibility that the van was trying to escape the police, and that garbage truck helped catch them.

According to the YT description, there was no one else in the van, just an impatient driver.

That'd be my thought too. If I'd the dump truck guy, I'd look in the rearview mirror looking for signs of emergency. If the driver is pleading then just let guy through... which looks like is the case. Maybe.

Can't post comment with blank quotes due to embedded videos. (Wtf Talk Post)

dag says...

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

Jeez, Ant - it's only been a year and two months ... so impatient. The comment embedding system is a little fragile - and a remnant from an earlier version of the Sift - We would probably need to rework lot's of bits to make this work correctly. We follow the motto, "if it's just a little broke, don't fix it" ;-)

@dag, how come this is still not fixed? I just ran into this old bug again in https://videosift.com/video/Fire-Bolt-Epic-NPC-Man-VLDL-building-up-an-epic-spell#quote-comment ...

Cyclist Tired of Waiting for Bomb Squad

ChaosEngine says...

Jesus, what a fucking idiot. He put everyone at risk because he was too impatient to wait.

The fact that it turned out ok does not in any way excuse his behaviour.

Bill Burr - One-Punch Man

moonsammy says...

Wow, I hadn't heard any of the English dub before. It... lacked a lot. Love the show, have been impatiently waiting for season 2 (sometime late this year, I believe).

Millennials in the Workforce, A Generation of Weakness

newtboy says...

Since you asked so respectfully.....
Taken one point at a time....
1)You are not a special, beautiful, unique snowflake everyone treasures. You are just part of the all singing all dancing decaying compost heap that is humanity. Your parents lied to you.
2) IMO, children under 18 shouldn't have smart phones at all, and should only be allowed to access a highly filtered social media if any at all. Both are highly destructive when misused, and children misuse things, especially when unsupervised as most are. I'm 47 and still don't indulge in either. (Unless the sift counts)
3) I actually think impatience is good....If paired with the drive to make what you want happen yourself and the intelligence to grasp the work required to make it happen and recognize your own abilities. Being impatient while expecting handouts should get anyone nowhere fast.
4) You escape the trap of being unrecognized by your jobs and easily discarded by having skills and making yourself invaluable, not by having no skills (or ubiquitous so worthless skills), social or otherwise, and just expecting advancement for attendance like your childhood.

I agree those he describes were dealt a bad hand....I disagree that this is unique to any one generation. We all had generational issues to overcome. That so many have failed to even attempt to overcome them to better their own lives and instead think the world at large owes them happiness, is at fault for not delivering, and must change to suit them IS a fault of their own, imo, contrary to the narrator's repeated assertions. It may be a flaw their parents fostered, but it's their own personality flaw now, no one else can fix it for them.

Great sage of the Sift, What say you?

bareboards2 says...

My goodness, you are impatient! Only a Sifter for four days and already sad at it taking time!

Why in my day, it could take weeks.

Post good videos. That is the best advice I can give.

I looked at the only one you have posted, and it didn't speak to me at all. Doesn't mean it isn't a good video. Just that it wasn't one that I even finished watching.

I am wondering, also, if you might be a sock puppet. Wacker? Is that how your name is pronounced?

Doesn't matter. Even sock puppets have to post videos that people like.

Welcome to the Sift -- or welcome back to the Sift, as the case may be.

Dear Bareboards2, Please help me, how to improve votes, i want to be out of probation period.
I need your kind help in this regard
Thanks

Pleasant NYC Driver

ChaosEngine says...

Agreed. To play devil's advocate, we don't know where she's going or why she's acting like this.

It's possible she has a genuine reason for her impatience. Maybe there's some kind of emergency (a family medical issue, for example). I know there have been times in my life where I've driven in a less than courteous manner for various reasons.

Or maybe she's just an asshole.

I just feel sorry for her. It would suck to get that angry/upset due to traffic.

Nerdwriter - How Not To Adapt A Movie

Drachen_Jager says...

Hollywood big-budget productions have lost all sense of artistry (with few exceptions). The directors all seem to think that audiences are inherently impatient twitch machines and if they hold on a shot for more than two seconds or give us a chance to breathe we'll get up and walk out.

Maybe that's true for some audience members, but you can't create art for the lowest common denominator and expect to produce anything great, or even good.

They wonder why Rotten Tomatoes and audiences are forsaking them? They need to break out of the corporate group-think and embrace artistry again. Yes it means you stink sometimes, but they produce big-budget stinkers anyhow (emoji movie anyone?). At least it would give filmmakers a chance to be great.

RANT: 20 Things Your IT Guys Want You to Know

ulysses1904 says...

21. if you're a teleworker and I'm trying to help you over the phone don't give me vague descriptions like "I can't get to my stuff. I clicked on the thing and I can't get in now." I'm not in the room looking over your shoulder for the past 5 minutes, you need to describe the steps you took to get to where you are now. And don't give me this exasperated tone when I ask you to do something the Help Desk already asked you to do, like reboot your computer. You got a cab waiting?

22. Don't present a problem like "My FAX123 program won't connect" as if was working yesterday and stopped connecting today. When more likely you have been told many times your supervisor needs to request an account for you and you haven't bothered to start the process. And you think somehow I have the magic touch and can circumvent that whole process on the spot. And even if I could do it you would appreciate it for all of 3 seconds, then come to expect it every time. And so would your colleagues sitting within earshot.

23. Don't ask me to work on something without telling me another tech is already working on it and you just haven't heard back from them in a timely manner and thought you would start over with me.

24. Not everyone in IT knows each other and can do each others' jobs and are cross-trained on account creation, purchasing, application support, etc. So the guy at the home office in Virginia hasn't created your account after a week, you want me to drive there and stand over him? There are MBA's who get paid buckets to manage this mess, you want bottom-rung techs to somehow make it all better?

25. Make sure to follow the last instructions I gave you with troubleshooting an issue, like try it on a spare computer, or reboot, or try printing from a different app, etc. Because when you don't, and a week later when I get a high priority email from your manager saying "why is nobody helping them with this issue?" I will provide a record of our last contact where the ball was in your court.

26. You wonder why it's hard to get a hold me by IM, email or voice mail now? You no doubt wasted my time with one of the previous entries above, or sounded annoyed and impatient that I can't do everyone's job or escalate your issue instantly.

27. If you see me in the building don't ask me IT questions any more, I have moved on to SQL development.

Bill Maher - Elizabeth Warren Interview

MilkmanDan says...

It would be like calling a black politician "Uncle Tom" if the opposition had been doing it first.

Trump has been relentless with his little jabs if he smells blood in the water. "Little Marco", etc. Taking offence is precisely what Trump wants to see. Maher arguably gave her a chance to own it and show that it didn't bother her, but she didn't take it.

My take is that Warren was expecting softball. Maher got a bit impatient with her going full tilt with politician-speak and threw a changeup. By the end of the interview he seems to regret having prodded her a bit. But the thing is, that interview was softball compared to what she'd face if she runs in 2020. Then, interviewers won't throw changeups, it'll be chin-music fastballs instead.

ChaosEngine said:

I know that Maher didn't mean to offend her and that he was just alluding to Trump's comments, but I still found it kinda unsavoury.

It's a bit like calling a black politician "uncle tom". Sure, you might not mean anything by it (other than those other guys are awful and they'll call you names), but I'm not surprised she took offence at it.
