Moneo , to Videos in The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel — Jenny Nicholson

There’s absolutely no reason this video should be 4 hours long.

Jenny had 4 hours of stuff she wanted to say and her fans want to listen to it because they find it entertaining. Get a life nerd.

Dismissing youtubers for being youtubers reminds me of people who dismiss all animation because "cartoons are for kids" or whatever. When I think of "influencer" I think of an instagram model who pushes products on their followers. "Youtuber" includes many content creators who devote hours into researching, writing, filming, and editing high quality, entertaining, and educational content.

Jenny is on the low end of the spectrum in terms of basically all of those categories (I love her though), but channels like CaptainD, Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube and Folding Ideas create extremely high quality content that (in my opinion) surpasses educational content coming out of any studio.

tl;dr: Dismissing youtube channels as "influencers" is narrow minded and may prevent you from enjoying content you would otherwise find to be of extremely high quality.

but why?

Is this true though? Don't many liberals support Israel? Are there actual polls that show Biden would benefit from taking a stance against Israel? Genuinely asking.

These bikes make me feel unsafe! They should ride on the road where they will feel unsafe.

Moneo , to Fuck Cars in Outrage as new Aussie car tax ignores 'dangerous' mega-utes

Ok, fuck trucks and everything but this makes no sense. You can't see past them? Why do you need to see past them? Are you tailgaiting?

Moneo , to Fuck Cars in Outrage as new Aussie car tax ignores 'dangerous' mega-utes

Me feel small. Me worry about masculinity. Big truck make me feel big. Big truck make me feel good.

Moneo , to memes in They don't make 'em like this anymore

“Useless red circle” is there to accommodate both the shitty eyesight and impatience of older generations who have been accustomed to everything being handed to them on a silver platter.

Generalizing generations is fucking stupid.

Moneo , to Showerthoughts in Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife?

Damn this was super informative and really well written.

Moneo , to memes in Detroit just had it's first population growth in 66 years. Huzzah!

I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You're safer when there's more people around.

Moneo , to memes in Get rid of those angry, masculine mannerisms

Any conservatives seeing this thread are having all of their conspiracy theories validated.

Moneo , to memes in How could you betray me like this

Damn good for you. I fucking hate being wrong, hurts me to my gut. I blame my childhood.

Moneo , to Not The Onion in JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

OK. I hate to "defend" a terf but I don't think that's her point. JK doesn't want to be black. She doesn't think she should be allowed to change her race and she knows that most people agree with that. She thinks it's an uno reverse card to go "ha! so how come you're allowed to change your gender then?" as if race and gender are the exact same thing.

Anyways, congrats on your transition Queen.

Moneo , to micromobility - Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility in E-Bikes Should Not Require Pedaling, Proposes U.K. Government, Diverging From E.U.

Yes but speed limited to and in bike form. I guess yeah you can argue it's not a bike anymore but who cares? To me the important thing is that it should be allowed in bike lanes if it conforms to existing ebike standards. People with disabilities might not be able to pedal and I don't see why they should be prohibited from using a bike lane just because their bike is powered entirely by electricity instead of just mostly.
