2018 InterGlobal Exhibits Design Video

Why these Alabama voters are sticking by Roy Moore (HBO)

moonsammy says...

It's frightening how severe of a disconnect from reality all of these people are exhibiting. Obama, the half-black / half-white guy is the cause of racism today? Hate-filled Roy Moore is the good Christian?

Fox News certainly has brainwashing down to a damn science, as proven by this lot.

King Tut - SNL

newtboy says...

Admittedly, it was much funnier when I was 8 and the highly commercialised Tut exhibit was touring the U.S., but it still makes me chuckle.

ChaosEngine said:

Eh, this is just not that funny. It's mildly amusing at best, and in that sense, it is classic SNL.

Shark

The Adorkable Misogyny of The Big Bang Theory

bcglorf says...

Lots of friends and family that love the show, but I never could get into it. So no love for it or urge to defend it. Also having not watched much of it I don't know how good/bad this aspect of the show is. However, I've stopped watching the video at the 7 minute mark as it feels an awful lot like an over analysis of flawed characters. When a show has flawed characters, and something like their ignorance, or sexism is exhibited in a way that the audience is supposed to laugh AT the flaws I don't see that as insidious.

Correct me if the rest of the video has more vulgar examples/clips but it sounds to me like protesting too much.

Trump Is Under Spiritual Attack Because from Demons

bcglorf says...

I'm all in favour of sticking strongly to ones convictions, but politics needs to include compromise. I think part of the current problem in the US is the winner takes all attitude you reference and exhibit that both parties have been playing from since Bush/Clinton days at the least.

Stating that the correct answer on the death penalty debate, war against dictator from whereveristan, public/private healthcare, abortion, federal definition of marriage are ALL non-negotiable moral high grounds where your side will never give an inch and let the country burn if that's what it takes is causing the current chaos. Trump got elected in large part on exactly this course of backlash against not just the political status quo, but additionally the left's steadfast push that all these issues where 'solved' and sacred and must morally never lean back towards the right.

RFlagg said:

The Supreme Court is why the right will never condemn Trump no matter how vile he is. So long as they hold the Senate and the Presidency, they have a chance to overturn gay marriage and possibly Roe V Wade or at least limit it greatly... of course they remain pro-war, pro-death penalty and anti-affordable health care, but will claim to be pro-life.

Selfie Dominos or How to destroy a lot of art quickly!

Asmo says...

You have an exhibit that is worth a bunch of money, you allow people to freely wander through it, and no cunt thinks to bolt down tall pedestals with little ground contact area?!??!?

Can't really feel bad for the gallery/artist at this point.

Here's why the average millionaire's college GPA is 2.9

noims says...

Interesting stuff until the last line where I think he's mixing up cause and effect. He says that "not playing by the rules is advantageous once you get out of a closed system like education" using high earners as evidence. Instead he should be looking at people who exhibit those trails and seeing how successful they are relative to the high GPA crowd.

I grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church.

newtboy says...

-..."they" in that sentence is the Catholics and Protestants.....it's your topic. In a general sense, it applies to most religions as individual groups, and the more dogmatic the followers are, the less tolerant of any dissent they become.

I can read. It's in the bible, and never contradicted or eradicated from the religious 'law'...so it's not what I define their beliefs to be, it's what the bible defines their beliefs to be, and if they don't follow it, what in the hell are they 'believing'?

I think you won't provide evidence because you can't. Someone's misinterpretation of the clear instructions, that let you off the hook for following them, means nothing when you have the clear text to read.

Only one hefty book matters in this instance, and it's undeniably clear. If you don't murder infidels, you don't follow the bible's teachings and so must deny it's God's law....making it nothing but a terrible book of fairy tales.

Edit: I think there's a disconnect about disrespect here. Atheists may not respect your beliefs with lip service and placations, but most religions require the complete eradication of differing beliefs. Atheists absolutely respect your right to believe any nonsense you want to, even if we may try to convince you why you're wrong. Religions invariably do not exhibit that base level of respect, how can you possibly claim they are more respectful?
Could it be that atheists are more respectful, enough to engage the 'other', so SEEM more disrespectful because they're up front and honest about their disrespect for beliefs, while religious people might smile but rarely actually engage in discussion/debate for fear of actually having to defend their indefensible beliefs, so just consider them a subhuman demon to be avoided as much as possible and backstabbed at every opportunity because they, let's say, think Saturday is the Sabbath?
I grew up in Texas, I have plenty of experience with 'Christian respect' for the beliefs of others (or lack thereof)....and it's nearly non existent there. I was told more than once that if I don't believe in God or Jesus my opinion didn't matter, and I wasn't welcome there, and deserved death. A few of those respectful Christians tried to beat some Jesus into me....but never one on one, and never successfully.

"They murder over tiny details".

Question, who is 'they'? The 'Christians' who ran the crusades? The protestant 'Christians' bombing the English Catholic 'Christians'? The Catholic 'Christians' cleansing the protestant heretics? The current pope of the Catholic church? The folks in your neighbourhood that attend a church sometimes? The people that check off 'christian' on the census?

Your entire exposition gives the distinct impression that you include everyone in the whole group as 'they' and liken them not only the the very worst in the group, you even insist that the worst aren't quite bad enough(Westboro), are as bad as what YOU define their beliefs to be.

Is some lengthy theological dissertation refuting your interpretation of the bible required evidence before you'll accept that calling all christian's murders is unfair? I'm sorry I won't present you that kind of evidence in thread, but I'm quite confident you are as capable as me to quickly google for the likely hundreds of hefty books already dedicated to exactly that...

Best medieval weapons for women

MilkmanDan says...

I took fencing in college, and had some preconceived ideas about men probably being better at it on average due to higher strength on average.

At least for foil fencing, that turned out to be quite wrong. With foils, strength is far less important than dexterity and footwork skill, which in my class the girls tended to be noticeably better at.

...However, aggressiveness / competitiveness / "killer instinct" was in many ways more important than either strength OR dexterity, and the males tended to exhibit those qualities far more than the females in my class. So even though the women were more technically proficient, the men tended to win matches at a much higher rate.

I found that interesting. Can't say that my experiences would speak to any sort of universal trend, but it was the clear trend in my beginner's level course.

The Fish Are Drowning!

Digitalfiend says...

I had four wisdom teeth taken out at the same time and they put me into a state of "twilight sleep" (that's all I remember the dental surgeon telling me). I have some memory of the procedure (e.g. the surgeon cracking my wisdom teeth for extraction) but practically no pain. I certainly didn't act mentally incapacitated when the drugs were stopped. I've also been under general anesthesia as a kid a few times and don't recall behaving like this either.

What the hell are they giving these people that they exhibit such weird outbursts? Are they just having an adverse reaction to the drugs or is it just an attempt to garner YouTube views/fame?

Irish People Taste Test Thanksgiving Food

ulysses1904 says...

My first trip overseas from the U.S. was to Dublin in 1991 and I was enthralled by the Irish people, their accent, the street signs in Gaelic and pretty much everything else. It was great to be in the land of James Joyce, the Pogues, Clannad and U2. I almost had to remind myself at first that this is not some kind of Disneyland exhibit, that this is the way they are and have always been. Then I bought a "sausage roll" from a snack shop which turned out to be a big chunk of spam. Brought me right back to reality.

The internet has me convinced all Irish people are awesome. Every single video i see.

Tortoise impersonating Owen Wilson - WOW!

BicycleRepairMan says...

Just to ruin the fun , ill just note here that as a general rule "cute" ,repetetive behaviour exhibited by captive animals is a result of the lack of stimuli. But I'm sure someone will help Owen Wilson eventually.

Michael Moore perfectly encapsulated why Trump won

RedSky says...

@radx

I don't see money being taken out of politics. Especially not with a Republican legislative / executive before the next election. In fact I've honestly become cynical about campaign finance reform having any serious effect no matter how well designed.

You can limit campaigns and their committees all you want, but if the money's there it will find it's way in through sponsored media and astro turfed 'grass roots' organisations that will claim some kind of legal disassociation with the candidate. Or the law will just be ignored like the supposed separation between campaigns and super PACs now.

Not that I like this, but I feel the lesson here as far as winning elections is concerned is, for a successful party the campaign never ends. Obama was blamed for every economic and foreign policy event over the past 8 years with little meaningful rebuke despite GOP obstructionism being a huge factor. He came very close to losing to Romney.

After Republicans claimed the legislative branch and so many state level positions that message should have been easy to refute citing an unwillingness to compromise for results (Simpson-Bowles debt plan should have been exhibit A). I would not at all be surprised if even now with almost complete government dominance, they are able to blame the Democrats for years to come by claiming to be fixing existing policy mistakes.

If Democrats don't deliver an effective message, they'll be looking at a second Trump term, with every failing over the previous 4 years blamed on them.
