I'm mildly uncomfortable that the younger girl was there to witness this. Still, *quality idea.

"resist any challenges to their world view that might make them feel uncomfortable"

What, like letting an abusive presenter at Vidcon off the hook and pillorying people she abused? Then saying that it wasn't exactly what it looked like in all the video footage, it was something else.

Entirely true, but not entirely unexpected. America (and by that I mean the leaders) has spent so long stomping around and declaring itself the leader of the free world that unilateral action without US approval has become somewhat rare.

I'm sure a lot of American's are fed up with the absurd cost of doing business as the leader of the west of course (both financially and in terms of lives lost/time spent), but it leaves an uncomfortable vacuum when the POTUS checks out of the game. I also suspect that many countries are wary about Tump's erratic reactions to whatever they do.

Kudos to Uhlman for saying what a lot of folks were thinking though.

I find intraracial weddings equally uncomfortable.

With comedy It can be very funny just like most things in life. Maybe you are unaware that Payback is ALWAYS poking fun.

I have a hard time finding suicide funny. A joke about suicide has to be pretty spectacular for me to not feel uncomfortable. We all have OUR things based on OUR experiences. If you want to get bent about someone joking about 'road safety', that's on you. I do however understand why you would feel this way based on your job as a paramedic, and what that has comes with.

Bonus hilarious joke about suicide

@newtboy
i like the 'failing liver" analogy.
appropriate and easily understood.

and i can understand where milkmandan is coming from,but my perspective is more aligned with yours newt.

what consistently baffles me,is how so many people are willing to simply accept this short term strategy from our politicians.

there is no surprise when corporations push for this,they are just focusing on their own interests and bottom line,which is short term profit.

or the politicians who bow to their neoliberal masters to receive those tasty campaign contributions.

or even the banks,who again focus on their short term gains.

these players are all behaving as they always have:for their own self interest.so there should be no shock or surprise when they act exactly as they have always acted.

but when i see everyday,normal people defend the behavior and actions of oliticians,financial institutions and multi-national corporations.it baffles me as to why they would choose to do such a thing.

we can understand why those players seek to retain a system which benefits them,their shareholders and their bottom line,but that system no longer serves the interests of the people,community and society as a whole.

so why make arguments defending it?

it is,quite frankly,killing us slowly as a species.

look at germany.
that country has slowly been recruiting,educating and now poised to corner the market in:new energy,renewable energy and are leading the world in breakthrough technologies in all energy fields.

germany has long played the long game.
they now dominate the entire EU in finance,and are now focusing on dominating the globe with new energy technology.

and what are we doing here in america?
pushing through more and more neoliberal policies that immiserate the working poor,both here and abroad.desperately continuing our destruction of entire ecosystems to exploit our natural resources for:oil and gas.military conflicts,which only make this country less safe,all to exploit other nations and extract THEIR oil and gas,and the cost in human lives is absolutely indefensible.

all of it.
every single bit of it for short term gains for an extremely small minority.

and here we are,with trump opening the flood gates to further exploit and destroy our natural resources with no thought or plan for the future.no investment in our communities,nor our society as a whole.

and for those who wish to make an argument that hillary would be better.i will only concede that on a domestic level this may have been true,but hillary is a neoliberal corporatist,and she would have pushed for even MORE military intervention in the middle east.MORE sanctions against countries unwilling to play ball,in order to politically squeeze them out,and even MORE of this countries policy of "regime change" to exploit and extract from those countries their precious resources.

i strongly suspect Iran would have been next on her agenda.

so when are some of these people going to step up,and realize that both trump AND clinton are (or would have been) disasterous for us as a community,a nation and as a species?

because they both only offer short term solutions to long term problems.and those short term solutions only benefit a minority of the population.

we could turn this ship around TODAY,right now,if we so choose.
we need more politicians like elizabeth warren and tulsi gabbard.we need more integrity in our media and journalists willing to do their job and criticize power,not bow to it just for access.we need the people to become engaged and confront their representatives,and make them uncomfortable,not treat them as celebrities.

and we need to reject the system where rich people choose who we get to vote for,and begin to dismantle this two party duopoly.

because trump vs hillary?
this election cycle has just revealed that both these candidates are not the disease,but rather the symptom of a very broken,and dysfunctional political system.

we need to begin to invest in the future.
and reject the status quo as no longer being viable for the continued existence of the human species.

and with the newly energized american public,who are growing in numbers daily,and is a direct response to the unmitigated disaster that is trump.there may be hope for us yet.

because if we stay on this trajectory,we are fucking doomed.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This video makes me uncomfortable. Guess I can add "fear of being trapped in a weighted suit" to my list.

Would have liked to see somebody with more wit and intellect than I deconstruct Peterson's argument.

Just...don't be Edgelords k? I read Peterson's words for like, half an hour and my toes never stopped curling. and now I have cramp. I'm trying to get more comfortable at being made uncomfortable but, you know, don't be an abrasive jerk just for sake of it.

and don't hate on princesses - they were born that way.

also it's "Her Royal Highness, Princess of Videosift" to you plebs. lol compelled speech.

The only thing this makes me think of is certain scenes in Mallrats, and talk of sex in uncomfortable places. (and the whole kid problem they could have avoided if they had practiced that instead)

Don't most of you know, especially those who grew up in Christian homes, that Christians are commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to proselytize?

Mark 16:15

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation

Christians who don't proselytize are actually in disobedience to the Lord.

Second, what kind of people would Christians be if they didn't proselytize? Knowing that people all around them are headed towards eternal death, and keeping the only way to escape it to themselves? Penn Jillette understands this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6md638smQd8

I understand why people are uncomfortable being proselytized to, especially when people yell at them or try to make them feel bad. That isn't the way you're supposed to do it. The bible says to speak the truth in *love*. If you don't fundamentally care about the person you are talking to and have a genuine concern for their soul, it isn't going to be fruitful.

Something about Jon has changed and I can't put my finger on it. He seems a little awkward somehow or uncomfortable. Been noticing it since before the elections. I just keep getting the feeling something is wrong in his life.
