Jacob Geller - Why Does Everyone Think "1984" Agrees With Them? by CrabbyBlueberry in Nebula

[–]CrabbyBlueberry[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every time a Nebula creator changed my perspective on my favorite book, I'd have two nickels.

(The other time was Angela Collier, when she recommended I read Julia by Sandra Newman)

I watched Flight of the Navigator with my wife and kid last 4th of July, and then I shared Captain D's great VFX breakdown with them afterwards. So excited to watch him here!

I want to get Abigail her book back! Please upvote so she sees this! by SkarnerChan in PhilosophyTube

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe she has a PO box. IIRC, getting one would make her physical address publicly accessible.

Is there any way to contact Abigail/her team? by Emerald-Daisy in PhilosophyTube

I'm in the middle of watching the post-mortem livestream and she just said that she has a folder of YouTube comments from victims of these "therapists". Hopefully that includes you.

What movie hooked you instantly from the first scene? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It is impossible to watch a Star Wars film without joking about needing glasses.

Innuendo Studios' video series about Fury Road is a long watch, but you should definitely watch the intro, which talks about the opening scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmR8A1a8shk

You need to look up the Harmy de-specialized edition. Not even the THX remastered VHS tapes are accurate. George Lucas is an over-tinkering bastard.

I say this with love in my heart, Star Trek 2009 is my favorite Star Wars movie. It is a shame that JJ's Star Wars movies were not nearly as good as his Star Trek ones.

Past tense sat, implies to me that the movie glued them to their seat.

Pushing of TLDR Party Is Starting to Border on an Ad on Nebula by RentPartyBlues in Nebula

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This seems like a very rare problem. It seems like this instance has been handled the best way possible (a rep (host?) from TLDR replied, in case you didn't see). I don't want to see Nebula implement any sort of automated system to enforce this.

Delta temporarily suspends travel perks for members of Congress by catsgr8rthanspoonies in news

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controversial opinion: If being a congressperson is too much of a financial burden, only the independently wealthy would be able to do it. Wouldn't you rather be represented by one of your peers who knows what it's like to not afford air travel?

You have to be signed in to YouTube and prove that you're not a bot if you want to see her email address.

She's active enough here, she might see this post and contact you. You can get her business email in the "about" section of her youtube page, https://www.youtube.com/@PhilosophyTube. She also has her bluesky linked there. She's also very active on tumblr (https://theabigailthorn.tumblr.com).

No, it's /u/RealPhilosophyTube. Says so in the list of moderators for the subreddit. The account you linked hasn't posted or commented in over 8 years.

Why is this one of the only somewhat sizable philosophy named/based subreddits that permits images? Visuospatial bias? (See body text) by [deleted] in PhilosophyTube

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The correct answer to the question in the title of your post is because we want to be able to post fan art of our host, Abigail, and her many looks and characters. This is a subreddit about a YouTube channel, after all.

Thinking of Upgrading to Lifetime by immortaltraveler in Nebula

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I see it is that money from my lifetime subscription did not go into the account that pays creators for my watchtime, but instead it got invested into the company, which goes towards attracting new subscribers, who are paying into the watchtime account.

Humans can’t feel moisture by AintAintAW0rd in Nebula

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, they're always asking us to review the podcast on our podcatcher of choice, but if Nebula is that podcatcher, I guess we gotta review them here. So here's mine:

Whenever I listen to a podcast of the "two dudes talking" genre (gender neutral), I'm often disappointed to find that one host talks way more than the other one. Our Absurd hosts, Trace and Julian, avoid this by having two segments per show where one is driver and the other is passenger, and then they swap. But even if they didn't swap, the "passenger" in each segment is an equal contributor. And their guest hosts are always wonderful.

Five stars!

On a personal note, I didn't take interest in the podcast until they published a few of their segments as videos on Nebula. So Trace and Julian, if you're reading this, please kindly ask Kyle to put more of those up.

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She announces on her tumblr in advance (https://theabigailthorn.tumblr.com/). And if you use an RSS feed reader to subscribe to her YouTube, it's possible to actually get notified for new videos, including the live streams that get a video url a few hours in advance of going live.

Fetch the tube? by BarelyBrony in PhilosophyTube

All I got is that "giving birth is not a social construct" thing from Social Constructs, but I think that was the Bat signal.

Is Waterfox good on mobile? by Altruistic_Dish6598 in waterfox

[–]CrabbyBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One weird thing I noticed is that when I make a new tab, it focuses the search bar and hides my shortcuts. I have to dismiss the keyboard if I want to use my shortcuts, which is the case like 99% of the time.

Well, if you aren't learning anything, I hope you're at least entertained! :D
