The Brilliant Earth Diamond Scam

iaui says...

As a Canadian I would like to say that I'm sorry to be so hard-line about this but please Beautiful Earth would you stop using our name to sell your diamonds. We would really appreciate it.

Thanks, and sorry again.

Why Didn't Germans Just Go Around the Berlin Wall?

iaui says...

*promote

Very, very good explanation of the wall and the oppression in Berlin after WWII. I've been pondering recently why the German people, and specifically Berlin, are such world-leading bastions of liberal and progressive ideas and this is part of the reason.

The German people know what it is like to be both the oppressor and the acutely oppressed, so they seek to reduce that suffering wherever it is found, helping other nations' citizens seeking solace from the horrors of war.

It also highlights the folly of walls, and those who would seek to build them.

Trump May Have Just Flushed the Economy Down the Toilet

Bob doesn't do any of that pesky thinking. He just regurgitates what his bosses tell him to and then moves on.

As far as Trump goes, Keith is spot on yet again. That's why you see Bob propagandizing against him here.

Understanding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's Tax Plans

The thing is, people still believe that Obama is the Antichrist and that he is destroying America. On one hand, I don't understand at all where that sentiment comes from as he obviously has done a great deal of good in his time in office. On the other hand Faux News and their surrogates (like Winstonfield, BobKnight33, etc.) have been having a histrionic shitfit over nothing for 8 years. They're not interested in facts, but in making people 'feel' like Obama is hurting them. It was like this even before Obama was elected with the Birther and ObamaMuslim movement. Feels before reals for the right, remember.

And on the third hand, I'm Canadian and Obama personally came by my house the other day to give me the guns he took from you so... Thanks, Obama!

well it's looking more and more like we're going to find out.

assuming you're Republican, did all the bad stuff that was going to happen because of Obama come true? he stopped by my house the other day and took away all my guns

The Horse Horseshoe Boots Viral Algebra Problem

iaui says...

I think it's a good, interesting post. Thanks for posting it.

It's a bit 'unfair' in that it seeks to trick people using the different number of images and then Order of Operations, but I think it's still a fun little puzzle.

As for the 'logical'-ness of assuming 2 of something equals 2 x 1 of something I think it's pretty logical; however, the image does force you to make the assumption that the image representing 2 horseshoes is logically related to the image representing one horseshoe. It's perfectly logical to assume they're not 2 totally unrelated images and yet they still 'could' be.

Dang, I posted and used the wrong character for *quality so now I have to post again because the edited version doesn't pick up my Siftbot order. Siftbot, pay attention!

Good Role Model Teaching Kids to Work Through Emotional Pain

iaui says...

I think he didn't make the child cry but the child did begin to cry and then he helped walk the child through and make sense of the experience.

ChaosEngine said:

I'm in two minds about this.

I'm glad they are supportive of kids and teaching them to face adversity and the inclusion of the parents is even better.

On the other hand, I'm not sure about making the kid cry in front of the rest of the class. I'm just not actually sure that's helpful.

Also, eh, religion... but whatever works for them I guess.

Primitive Technology: Forge Blower

iaui says...

I believe this is his full-time jam now. He hasn't monetize the YT videos but he has a Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2945881, which could probably do with being linked in the description here) that says he gets $3,773 for each video he makes. If he makes one a month that's a decent living. It's at least probably enough to support him with food and housing, and if living in the wilderness and building things with bark and mud is what he spends his money on, well, he's golden.

How does he have all this spare time to discover all this?
