Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Sugar

RFlagg says...

To jump in on the left hand/right hand drive thing.

Figure most people are right handed. Early weapons, swords would be worn on the left hip to make it easier to draw. So you step up on the horse from it's left as the sword is in the way for getting up otherwise. Now as you ride your horse down the road, you'll ride on the left, as you want to keep approaching people on your right in case you need to respond to an attack, you are attacking them on your free side and not across the horse. So people get used to riding on the left of the road. This gives left hand drive a certain sense from a historical perspective.

Of course if you are driving a team of horses, then you are probably on the left rear horse, and for vision and control reasons, it's probably best to drive that team down the right side of the road. So a certain sense there too.

Then again, how often do you drive a team without a coach behind the horses? So why not drive from the right hand spot down the left of the road? Unless it has to do with the shotgun position, since then the person there has to shoot across the driver, in which case right hand drive once again makes sense.

None of which answers why some countries do right hand drive vs left. Did the US adopt right hand drive just to be different from the UK? Why did France adopt right hand drive? Did Napoleon's war efforts really lead to the rest of Europe adopting right hand drive? Sounds like an issue for CGP Grey to tackle...

Old man shows some major skills!

ChairmanDrew says...

that and the trying to throw punches from his hips, but that could have just been panic after getting hit with BOMBS from the old man. I still wanna know, whats the background of this, because you don't go into a friendly sparring match trying to land a knockout, and judging from Old Man's obvious experience he too should know this.

The young guy was on his heels and leaning back, that's a sure sign of the untrained. Old guy was pitched forward with his head down like a pro.

Flying Lotus - Never Catch Me ft. Kendrick Lamar (Hip Hop)

Can You Split A Card? - Annie Oakley - Trick Shot

ChaosEngine says...

impressive shooting!

question for someone who knows about such things: is her posture normal for shooting a rifle? at 1:15 and 2:09 she seems to be arching her back backward with her hip forward. It looks really unnatural.

Not crazy about the J-Lo song itself, but it does make me think of this. *related=http://videosift.com/video/Baby-Got-Back-Old-School-Hip-Hop

Spider-Woman's Big Ass Is A Big Deal - Maddox

00Scud00 says...

Oh yeah I've seen plenty of Manara's work before; but you say you enjoyed his work as a young man? What's stopping you now? Manara is 68 and he seems to enjoy his work just fine. I'm 41 and if I ever stop enjoying that then I may consider that to be a sure sign that it's time to pack it in.
@Xaielao
I think it looks fine to me. Women are typically better endowed in the hip department than men are so if you're comparing it to the picture of Spiderman then they should look different.

True, I think the intention behind the two covers is very different, even if the results are similar. In the Spider-man cover, he looks like a spider who has already wrapped up his helpless terrified prey. And if you know about spiders you know what happens next, it's pretty nasty. The real spider in the lower right corner helps drive home the impression.

Where as with the Spider-woman cover I don't have any real doubt that Milo Manara was trying to make her sexy; that's kind of his thing. He's best known as an erotic artist and his artwork ranges from pinup girl to pretty hardcore porn (which I enjoyed as a young man). Check out his Wikipedia page and the first thing you'll see is that that pose is not one he's new at drawing.

I think where critics go wrong is the idea that sexiness implies sexism. If she were both drawn as sexy and being degraded or made fun of that would qualify as sexism. But there's got to be some room for sensuality without automatically feeling it's a personal insult to all women.

Speed bump overkill?

Weird Al's Ice Bucket Challenge

RFlagg says...

Wow... his call outs... I can see Obama doing it. I can't see the Pope doing it, though he has tried to prove himself semi hip, so he just might. Not sure about the Dali Lama, though he also seems to enjoy fun.

Rap Critic: Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio

ChaosEngine says...

I don't really think he gives Stevie Wonder enough credit. Yeah, the rap was good, but without the chorus hook, it would never have achieved the kind of success it did.

I loved his angry rant near the end only to make a damning indictment of modern commercialised hip hop.

The Bizarre Truth About Purebred Dogs

MilkmanDan says...

I really can't understand why anyone would pay many hundreds (if not THOUSANDS) of dollars for a "purebred" dog, when they will almost inevitably have hip displaysia, breathing problems, high cancer rates, or other issues.

In the meantime, they could have gone to a shelter and got a mutt for free or no more than the cost of the standard inoculations, and the mutt is much more likely to have enough better genetic diversity that it will be much healthier... And probably much smarter too.

Mutts ftw!

Cops Owned By Legal Gun Owner

newtboy says...

Something does not have to be illegal for it to be suspicious. If you are found to be carrying a hammer and a towel down a residential street at night, you will be stopped and checked out to be sure you aren't using them to steal from cars or homes. That doesn't make hammers illegal, it makes someone carrying one at night suspicious.
A gun on your hip on a public street is more suspicious than a hammer, and at the least should give the officer the ability to stop and identify the person carrying it. In most jurisdictions, you must identify yourself to an officer when asked, (but nothing more) and they can 'hold' you until your identity is known.
As mentioned before, he could be a felon, therefore committing another felony by carrying a gun...therefore it's legally suspicious. Or you might be a known suspect in another crime...suspicious. Or you might be about to use that gun for a crime...suspicious. Or you might be selling crack and using the visible gun as a deterrent other crack dealers....also suspicious. So yes, anyone intentionally visibly carrying a gun on main street (where there's no need for a gun to protect yourself from anything) is suspicious, just as anyone carrying 15 legal knives would be, or someone with a samurai sword, or handcuffs, a blindfold, and a stun gun might be...none of them illegal but totally suspicious.
His actions were suspicious, more so when he won't identify himself. The officer could have said he 'met the description of a suspect at large', which he (and nearly everyone else on earth) does, there's lots of suspects at large of every description, and as I understand it he could have held him until they identified him. (really I would see that as harassment, but as I understand the law it would be allowed, I was held for 'meeting the description' of a vandal once, and the person eventually arrested turned out to be a 25 year old 6 foot black man, while at the time I was a 13 year old, 5 foot tall white boy).
Yes, people who act in a way that 'freaks normal people out' will likely be stopped and inspected if they're reported. We have all tacitly agreed to that long ago.

silvercord said:

My guess is this: It's not that this was a suspicious person. It's that this was a person with a gun. And in someone's mind that made the guy suspicious. (In actuality, for many people, anybody with a gun becomes suspicious.) It isn't really the person. It's the gun. Somebody freaked out because someone else had a gun. It's understandable, but it is also not against the law, apparently, where the video was shot. Are we going to going to agree to stop anyone who is conducting themselves in a legal manner because someone else freaks out over it?

Law Student Prevails Over State Robot Thug

artician says...

Yeah, but this is one of those jackasses who parades around public with a fucking firearm on their hip. I'm honestly not sure which one is the robot in these scenarios.

I completely understand both sides of the pro/anti-gun standpoint. I could make valid arguments for either side, but in the end I'm relatively certain everyone wants to live in safety.

Walking around with your insecurity-compensation-unit out is simply stating "I can't find any other way to make a point than make everyone around me feel incredibly uncomfortable." I would much rather have it that people were allowed to carry concealed weapons.
