Warning: This video may cause epileptic fits. It's that good.

Camerawork and editing sucks. Thought I was going to have an epileptic seizure. The studio sound didn't fit the location.

"Letting them know that you're about to have a lecture on very sensitive material is totally fine. I mean, I've done that."

Then congrats, you're OK with trigger warnings.

And like most instances where people panic about them, Oxford hasn't made any sort of official policy. Professors are able to do so at will or ignore the use of the warnings all together. Much like they have been doing for years and years.

Curious how victims of sexual assault that often develop PTSD for periods following are somehow "coddled censors", yet the same doesn't apply for any sort of accommodation for other mental or physical ailments. We don't see people freaking out about warnings of flashing lights in various media for the epileptic, we don't mock the soldier suffering from PTSD who asks for accommodations, and we don't mock the migraine sufferers who avoid certain situations, food, etc to prevent attacks.

But somehow, the physical effects triggered by certain stimuli of a lingering sexual assault is different. Better alert the news media, the PC police rape survivors are here to ruin everything with their asks for "Hey, maybe consider my physical issues?"

*love - not for the epileptic.

Isn't there a little barometric device that automatically deploys your chute if you reach a certain altitude? Might not be standard issue. Losing consciousness, for all sort of reasons, can't be all that uncommon while skydiving.

As for why, I dunno. Some epileptics have seizures very, very rarely (like once every few years), and the medication works pretty well. I have epileptic friends who legally drive. You do need a doctor to say it's cool, though.

Of course, he may not even have epilepsy. Might be seizing for some other reason (like skydiving adrenaline awesomeness/mortal terror overload).

Awesome technological *quality !
I can imagine this replacing ALL outdoor lighting. How cool would it be for street lights and signal lights to no longer require large poles, but just be a light floating in mid air 10 ft above? It could clean up metropolitan areas immensely, and remove many obstructions to taller vehicles/loads.
They just need to power up, add color, and stop the blinking so they don't trigger epileptics.

EDIT: My wife just pointed out that it's highly likely that we're now going see 'wacky wavy digital arm flailing tube men' on every corner once they commercialize this. :-(

Clearly she is not epileptic

Why is that mean old man bothering those epileptics?

Sure he's not had a seizure or stroke or something? Epileptics will do repetitious stuff for a good 10-15 minutes after a seizure and not remember any of it. Seen my epileptic brother leave his belongings throughout a mall and not realize it for hours, he'll also try to get out of a moving vehicle if he has a seizure in the car.

It's like they get an idea in their head and try to execute it until they recover.

In case you're wondering... dogs have been hanging out with humans for over 25000 years. Cats have been sponging off us for less than 10000.

If you think humans evolved to where we are without those furry brothers, you would be wrong.

The ability of dogs/wolves to "read" human emotions is unparalleled. Neither apes nor cetaceans nor cats have demonstrated the depth of understanding that dogs have consistently shown for their human companions. Show me a cat that can not only know when an epileptic attack is about to occur, but will alert her friend to it before it happens.

Talk abouty a shitty trailer !
Somebody thought editing meant splicing random .5 sec shots together one after the other.
Too bad.

You're right, but I still want to see the show based solely on the previous Battlestar Galactica series.
I actually watched, and sort of enjoyed Caprica- must have been the only one though. I feel that show was cancelled before it got its feet under it. Hopefully this new show will be the one that science fiction fans have been waiting for.


You're not alone in liking Caprica, I thought it was pretty darn good

I also think this one looks awesome too, despite the crappy epileptic trailer.

@Porksandwich I was really disappointed when they cancelled SGU, I was really in to it.

I just had an epileptic seizure.

I had a cat that I took on a car ride once because he was so cool. The car ride over stimulated him and he had seizure. He pissed and shit all over my passenger's side floor. Turns out he was epileptic >> ^Fletch:

The only time (and last time) I took a cat somewhere in my car without a carrier, he disappeared. He seemed a little stressed about the ride, so I figured he was under the seat or something, until the lady behind me honked her horn. I looked in my rearview mirror and my cat was taking a shit on the rear deck right between the speakers.
Use a carrier.

>> ^mram:

Seriously, really, I recognize the adhoc and chaotic nature of the filming but would it really have been that hard to take a step back and have a clear video? An epileptic kangaroo could've held the camera more steady.
There's almost nothing to see here unless you want to freeze frame at opportune moments.
My apologies to any epileptic kangaroo filmmakers out there I might have offended.


You try pointing an AK, packing an RPG, while trying to figure out how your new Android phone works.
