Yeah, you don't have to die, just ruin your chances to pass on your (faulty) genetic code.

" The prime tenet of the Darwin Awards is that we are celebrating the self-removal of incompetent genetic material from the human race. Therefore, the potential winner must be deceased, or at least incapable of reproducing. The traditional method is death. However, an occasional rebel opts for sterilization, which allows her more time to enjoy the dubious notoriety of winning a Darwin Award. " - Darwin Awards, rules.

each video page has a place to opt in http://i.imgur.com/63UqHFA.png

and at the bottom of most/many pages there is a beta optout button.

I often go back and forth for different reasons.

Interesting. Why is there an opt link then?

I'm kinda conflicted on this.

Yes, P&G are a massive corporation, and yes, this is a pretty cynical co-opting of the suffering of real people to sell soap.

OTOH, it's a great message. Cut the last 20 seconds off this video and I'd be unequivocally applauding it.

So, they're kinda "damned if they do, damned if they don't".

Ultimately, I come down on the side of "if business is going to cynically exploit injustice to sell shit, they may as well do some good while they're doing it".

Oh wow i see if you use the new sift design it starts muted and there is no option to turn on the music In the old sift design(which i use ) you can turn sound onhttp://imgur.com/a/8Bl1t. You can Opt out of the new design at the very bottom of the page or try this https://videosift.com/video/Rhino-Rules-The-Road?vs6=optout.

When i try it on an ipad it starts with sound and has no option to mute. Weird.

In the limited times that I've been around skunks, it definitely seemed possible to watch them from a safe distance and be in basically no danger of being sprayed. If there's a dog around, that gets a lot riskier fast though.

There's definitely a risk vs reward calculation to be made there. I think the reward of seeing some nature first-hand would have been enough to keep me on the porch if I was the guy in the video, but I'd have been pretty cautious about it. And I can't fault him for opting for "NOPE" either.

The whole Paris accord thing is like voluntary homework assigments for schoolkids.

If one kid decides he will not do what he picked, because another kid picked an easy assignment, who cares? For some he is stupid and lazy, for others he may appear clever and cool for avoiding work with no penalty.

It was all voluntary so opting out just gives you the immediate ignominy of failure to comply with a goal you set for yourself.

How do you propose to force China to pick a more difficult assignment? By not doing yours? What?

SJWs are not progressive or the left, no matter how loudly they claim to be.

Odd that he tells us what is not progressive, then forgets that definition to say that progressives now work towards the opposite of his definition and that "progressive" now means oppressive.

Allowing and supporting a small vocal and zealous group co-opting a political party and changing it's platform 180 degrees by giving credence to their false narratives and claims to be 'progressive' is disgusting and disingenuous, and he knows it.
Just stop calling the SJW idiots progressives or the left, since they are neither, and the problem for progressives and the left are solved. SJWs WANT to represent the left, and the right WANTS them to represent the left (because they're easy to argue against), but they simply don't. Pieces like this only serve to support the SJW snowflakes and the false right wing narrative that the left is fascist.

He does also bring up many straw men, like Catholics being forced to pay for abortion causing birth control, they aren't and they never were, they only had to allow their employees the freedom to buy it with federal money if they so chose, but they don't want people to have the choice and apparently think that if they pay you, they have the right to control how you spend that money, what you may believe, and how you choose to live your life.

Sad that he's gone the route of supplying straw men, conflation, misdirection, misidentification, and misinformation in order to rail against something he's helping cause with those actions. It's like calling the tea baggers conservative right wingers, they weren't/aren't either, but they successfully co-opted the right by claiming they were both and the right going along because they needed the idiot vote....lets not let that happen on the left, please.

SJWs aren't on the left, and aren't progressive, they are fascists and cry babies trying to grab control of the left and progressive movements for their own means, not to further the left's agenda. Fight them, don't capitulate and slink off, handing them a political party like the right did with tea baggers.
STAND UP TO THEM.

To be fair some of those programs should be eliminated. In the big picture these table scrap spending issues.

Homeless need food and shelter more than I need PBS or GOV funded arts programs.

Americans need to work longer before opting for social security.

Our defense spending does need to be cut.

Our national debt does need to be lowered.

WE need not to be fighting if /when defenses cutting / social security adjustments issues come up.

Death panels and throwing grandma off the cliff scare tactics need to stop.

You can opt out of the new VS by clicking 'Beta opt out' located at the bottom of any videos page. You can choose to opt back in at any time.

Thank you for the help on opting out =)

This is the problem with the left in recent times, you're going out of your way to try to prove me wrong, instead of having a dialogue about a solution that helps the most amount of people in a responsible way. And that corners the right wingers into doing stuff like what Trump has done, in fact the far left can be partly blamed for why Trump is the president int he first place.

We've seen what open borders do in Europe. And now we're going to see what closed borders do in the US.

They're both bad solutions.

I expect a lot more from the left, since they are usually smarter and more educated than the right. But it seems that recently they've all opted for sensationalism just like the right.

And now I'm going to get down-voted by both the left and right lol, and no progress will be made.

I normally don't like jumping in to these political fights, but come on, please stop propagating the term "fake news" as a term for news you don't like versus actual fake news websites.

There's no way any of us should allow that term to enter in to the public lexicon the way Republicans are trying to co-opt it for their agenda.

Knock it off. Words have meaning. Quit redefining terms just for your own liking.
