Sister Pranks Brother With Selfies

lucky760 says...

Aww, that's cute.

@robdot - It's funny because it's a running gag that elicits such a viscerally humorous reaction while exhibiting a sweet sibling relationship.

If it was just done once, it wouldn't be as entertaining, but she does it to him repeatedly over apparently a long expanse of time and she keeps eyeballing him when she does it before he finally realizes she's done it again. It's fun watching that realization happen, especially because of his subsequent reaction.

Baby fights dog for bone

ant says...

"UPDATE: As I mentioned in the comments that I initially posted with this video, based on our dog's extensive training, temperament, and exceedingly gentle previous interactions with the baby (which are shown in our other videos), under our close supervision, we did not perceive that there was any realistic risk of harm to the baby by allowing her to try to take a bone from the dog. In contrast, a handful of visitors apparently strongly believed that we were putting the baby in imminent danger in this video.

Although I disagreed with those visitors' comments, based on those comments, I contacted the dog's trainer about the video and about the nature of the interaction shown in the video, as the trainer is specifically familiar with our dog's training and temperament. In short, based on her specific experience with our dog and other dogs, the trainer agreed with me that it's unlikely that the dog would harm the baby -- and in her opinion, the dog was not exhibiting any signs of stress or irritation in the video that would lead her to believe that the baby was at any risk of harm during that interaction. That said, she cautioned that a dog's "resource guarding" instinct cannot be 100% bred or trained away, and that a dog's tolerance for someone taking its resources can change over time as the dog develops and ages. Because of that, she cautioned that just because the dog is tolerant of such behavior now does not mean that he'll be so tolerant of such behavior in the coming months. So, particularly while the baby is so young, the trainer conservatively recommended against allowing the baby to take anything from the dog's mouth. Moreover, we intend to follow that recommendation -- so rest assured, we will not allow the baby to interact with the dog again in the way that's shown in this video.

Although I wish the detractors had been a bit more constructive and less alarmist in their comments, I do ultimately appreciate their concern, and I learned a little something from it. So, thank you." from there.

Based on the updated description, the parents have now learnt that this is not a good idea in the future. They may not be concerned about this particular dog's temperament, but aren't they teaching the child that it's ok to take things from dogs' mouths in general?

If They Were Smart

Jinx says...

Idk, I think it starts off life as an ironic exclamation and sort of slips into your vocab. Personally I prefer to spell it out - "el oh el". As lol is an acronym I believe this is probably a more proper pronunciation, but it also sounds more deliberate, and therefore ironic.

But yes. It is exactly replacing that faked laugh that we produce both as a sort of social courtesy to others who made an effort to make us smile, or to communicate that we recognise a humourous situation. Why use it? Well, why use any colloquialism/slang?

Frankly I'd rather be the dickhead that uses it than the dickhead that thinks adding "Selfie" to the dictionary represents an erosion of the language. I really have no patience for those that seem to think we should enclose our language in a glass case and play with it delicately lest we damage the exhibit.

AeroMechanical said:

The biggest fail in this video is the bit at the end where the guy says "lol" aloud, actually meaning it with no sense of irony, and thus demonstrating that while perhaps logically understanding the concept of humor, he does not actually possess human emotions.

Or have I just been generation gapped? Is it now acceptable to just say "lol" instead of smiling and faking a half-laugh when you need to politely acknowledge someone has done or said something intended to be funny but that hasn't actually moved you to laughter?

Maru makes it work!

Strangely enough, it seems the ears are not required to be a Scottish fold. The ones that don't have the folded ears are called "Straights".

In an extremely rare example of decency (in my experience), breeders have realized that breeding for pure, homozygous folds leads to health problems and it is now considered an unethical practice. So I, for one, am not about to call them out on the idea of a breed that doesn't breed true. I'd much rather see healthy cats that only exhibit the characteristics of the breed 50% of the time.

Scottish fold? With those ears?

Little girl dances to "Me & My Uncle" in NYC Subway station

billpayer says...

Nah. I remember when Williamsburg was actually real instead of full of trust fund kids and euro trash.

This is some rich hipster mom exhibiting her carefully vintage styled daughter for her facebook friends. Probably still high on last nights coke binge

Life of a Williamsburg child is being dragged from one asshole hipster event to another

"Stupidity of American Voter," critical to passing Obamacare

newtboy says...

No need to argue, their info on that page is clearly wrong. The math is simple.
It's perplexing that what appears to be a NASA page is so wrong about such a simple equation and data, but that's the fact.
EDIT:Oh, I see, this is a NASA "partner" page, not a NASA page. Still, there's absolutely no excuse for the incredibly poor math skills or confusion of 'width' with 'size' that they exhibit.

You can argue with Nasa if you like:

http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/review/dr-marc-earth/moon-general.html

"The Moon's size and distance contribute to a wonderful coincidence for those of us who live here on Earth. The Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun, but it also just happens to be about 400 times closer. The result is that from Earth, they appear to be the same size. And when its orbit around Earth takes the Moon directly between Earth and the Sun, the Moon blocks our view of the Sun in what we call a solar eclipse. This is just the same as when you use your thumb to block your view of something that is both much larger and much farther away."

The approximation means that the Sun and Moon appear to be the same size in the sky, making eclipses possible. The fact that the Moon is receding every year means that our existence at this time when they are approximate would have to be a big coincidence. That is the point I was making..

What narcolepsy really looks like

lucky760 says...

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, yes, everyone is absolutely interested in hearing more perspectives.

Thanks for taking the time to share. It really is very interesting to hear these first-hand details of what it is actually like living with narcolepsy.

I'm curious how early the signs of narcolepsy might present themselves. Do you recall the very first time your started exhibiting symptoms? Did your parents ever tell you about you having them as a baby or young child?

I also have narcolepsy, but without the cataplexy, for which I am most grateful! I also had blephorospasms, which is when my eyes close unexpectedly, without the sleep. It was quite frightening, as it happened a number of times while I was driving. I saw a neurologist soon after these symptoms began, and it has been controlled quite well, with Botox injections around the outer edges of my eyes. This is very different from the Botox which is used on wrinkles. Within a month or so, those disappeared, although my eyelids are often heavy and I find it more comfortable to keep them closed, whenever possible. The narcolepsy is still with me: I take a medication called Provigil, when certainly helps. But I have a hard time making myself go to bed, when I begin feeling sleepy. I often fall asleep at my desk top computer with my head falling on the keyboard, leaving the strangest comments, which I enjoy posting, much to people's confusion. I have also often fallen out of my chair, and been rudely awakened by the sudden stop. Fortunately, I never been seriously hurt, and that hasn't happened for many months. I'm an older woman of 79, with osteoporosis, but I haven't broken anything in these unexpected naps, as I call them. The young woman in the video, who is a dancer and making a teaching video, it seems, is a much worse situation that I, for which I am grateful. I have here seen this site before, and I hope I'm not intruding...just thought folks might like to hear another perspective.

VoodooV says...

translation: I can't prove it but ill still use it as a flimsy premise to pretend I'm morally superior to everyone while at the same time, exhibiting behavior that is sanctioned by my religion, yet objectively immoral.

lantern53 said:

No, not saying that.

Religion is just the visible aspect.

Actually, it is a waste of time to talk about it with anyone who won't receive it.

So, when the person is looking, they will find it. But the truth is not to be found in the outward manifestation.
