@hamsteralliance NYC and Australia(or Africa) is not what I would call "san francisco, west coast" tags...However, I would call it "google, streetview"...hint hint.

Saw them on their first tour in San Francisco. Masterful.

Hello. I was going to help test out the new ability for a submitter to mark their own video *dupeof= however I ran into a new "feature" while testing.

In my dupe video you asked me to try again, but now that the video is killed all the comments have vanished. See here http://videosift.com/video/Kinetic-toothpick-sculpture-of-San-Francisco-took-35-years?noredirect

There is a talk thread about comments vanishing on killed videos http://videosift.com/talk/No-longer-able-to-view-comments-on-killed-videos-2


Secondly I tried to run the *isdupe on another of my videos and got the error from siftbot that I am not privileged. See here http://videosift.com/video/Beyonces-Single-Ladies-Dance-by-7-year-olds

Thank you for trying to get these changes in place. It may not seem like much but at least for me as a regular user I would feel a little less powerless

I can confirm this is broken

There was a discussion going on a dupe video, where I was going to help troubleshoot if the changes to allow a submitter mark a video as a duplicate and now I cant see the comments!

@chingalera Way to miss the point there, my friend.

How do you change perceptions? Play on the stereotype to show the falsehood.

Besides, any problems I have with basic Southern stererotypical attitudes are based on actual experience. My dad grew up in rural Oklahoma. I grew up hearing only the n-word. As a teenager, we had to be in the San Francisco area and we were only allowed to drive through. Couldn't stop and spend money because he didn't want any gays getting it. This was 1971.

Is he alone in his prejudices? Absolutely not. And what this dumb show points up is just how the State of Texas is leaving these attitudes behind.

Racism is being driven underground. Homophobia is being driven underground. They'll never go away.

And yes, @jonny got it, too. That Southern politeness is a stereotype, too -- and it too is based on reality.

Oh I thought since I am not privileged it wouldnt allow those invocations

*dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/35-yrs-constructing-San-Francisco-replica-out-of-toothpicks

As the submitter, you can do that yourself and it doesn't need to be seconded.

Just do:

*dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/35-yrs-constructing-San-Francisco-replica-out-of-toothpicks

Crap. This is a dupe of an already sifted video from youtube. Can someone dupe it and instead add it as a backup to this - http://videosift.com/video/35-yrs-constructing-San-Francisco-replica-out-of-toothpicks

Watched all these episodes inna row...Some interesting gaps or cracks in the unknowable history of world affairs as filtered through his particular lens-And some never before mashed-up footage of evil white people from the last 100 years shaking hands and drinking blood and what not!

In the event of something going wrong, I want the girl who's trained with a firearm on my team. It does require training, including moving while you're firing, which seems to be the part that some viewers find objectionable.

You can read liberals' reasons for owning a firearm in this article and its excellent comments: Liberal Explains Why He Owns Guns.


The best way for liberals to reduce desire for guns would be for them to make good on their promises.

For example, in the city where I live, San Francisco, liberals have absolute political hegemony, so they should be able to fix problems, right?

But street crime, particularly against women, is out of control, often simply with knives or punches. And inequality is unfortunately increasing, not decreasing.
