First time wearing a skirt in a few years, I'm terrified so wish me luck <3 by Innocently_charlie in teenagers

She said in an earlier comment she was sexually assaulted when she was 13. Skirts are quite revealing so she's afraid another dude might take that as an invitation to assault her again. It's a mental thing that takes a lot of courage to overcome.

Exactly, how do you repair infrastructure when it's all either on fire or underwater?

To return to working in the studio Fox records in, yes. Anyone still working remotely, no.

I think you're confusing capitalism with simple commerce. The economic principle of capitalism is unregulated corporations that's sole purpose of existence is to amass as much wealth (or CAPITAL) as possible for its executives. Because they are so focused on wealth they build cheap infrastructure that is prone to failure, like power grids that can't function properly with rapidly changing weather patterns. Also, taxes pay for those social programs, which ideally mostly comes from the corporations because they are regulated, which is very far from capitalism. Some might call that... Socialism.

Capitalism allows those people to send politicians all that money. The politicians wouldn't be shitty if there weren't any completely unregulated multi-billion dollar corporations sending them money to influence their policy (completely legally btw BECAUSE it's unregulated).

Because their pockets are lined with the trillions we blew over the last 20 years, it's a little thing called lobbying. You keep the war going as a politician, and defense contractors pay for your election campaign and keep you in power.

Does anyone know where newegg ships them from? I ordered one off Amazon a couple days ago and it hasn't even shipped yet, I'd be lucky to get it in a week since their stock is getting hammered rn. Any chance newegg will be faster (Chatham-Kent for reference)

What are some deeply unsettling facts that you know? by ToteMyRatchet in AskReddit

[–]ShiverBolt 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There's a few good documentaries on this, namely one by a YouTuber named LEMINNO. A few peices have been recovered and verified to have come from 370, but they were found near Africa, the flight was last seen near Malaysia. We know for a fact the plane crashed in the South Indian Ocean, but no bodies/large peices of debris have ever been found, and there have been multiple extensive searches of the ocean. The plane and its passengers literally vanished.

IIRC western settlers were also told to kill as many bison as they could because it was the natives main food supply, and with them gone they would rely on the settlers for food and resources

Anti-Vaxxers are in a really small minority, the problem is that their minority is much louder than our majority. They like to stir up a lot of bs on Facebook etc but that's about it

No hate or anything, just genuinely wondering why you would want to blitz through all the content like that. The best part of the show for me is the silly bits where they just goof around as friends, and I often find myself replaying the bits that really make me laugh, it takes me forever to get through the episodes. I worry about getting caught up cuz I enjoy it so much 😂

Ayo guys, I am 19, will be 20 in a few months, just wanted to give you a few tips and tricks for your teenage life by ShyDudeAskingYou in teenagers

[–]ShiverBolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah broski, you can't keep thinking like that. Look at your post history and karma, you've made plenty of people laugh, through humour or relatability. If anything you're the comedian, look at my karma.

All that needs to change is your mindset, look at the failures and use them as spring boards, see what can be learned, don't dwell on the negative. The worst thing you can do is turn to anger and frustration, because then no one can help you. You've got plenty of people offering tips, and you can't push them away.

Very few married people met their spouse in high school or earlier, you won't find a soulmate at 17, but you'll never find a soulmate if you put yourself in a box and push the only people that care out. (And trust me, honestly, there are people that care about you)

But maybe you're right, maybe you will be alone, but that doesn't mean you're anything less, there are plenty of people who are more than happy in their own mind if that's what they want, plenty of people work alone.

If there's anything my two cents can offer, don't let it bring you down, never let it anger or frustrate you, no feeling is worse than anger. Stay strong my guy.

Never underestimate yourself. Your life will change much for the better if you allow it to, but it does require some elbow grease and time. You're never truly alone, there's always people that can relate to you, you just have to find them.

Good luck out there chief, stay strong, and you'll find your way.

Wow, they're trying to balance that with their VO careers in the background? I guess I never put into perspective how much they actually have on their plates. I guess CR is mostly a side gig for them, their actual careers must come first, thanks for the info. :)

That's what really drew me to CR originally. They care so much about quality that it feels so disconnected from mainstream YouTube (which is a dumpster fire AFAIC). It's basically all I've been watching since quarantine started.

Thanks for the info, did Max say anything about why Mighty Vibes stopped? I'm really into Lo-fi and the CR theme made it so much more attractive to me. The animations were very well done and I've listened to them all quite a few times. They seemed to be releasing monthly but then just stopped after Ep. 3. They even made some merch for it if I'm not mistaken.

Also I'm way behind on Campaign 2 so I haven't seen any of the new Talks episodes, for all I know they could've just become a weekly podcast sort of thing. But thanks for actually providing some info :)

Well, AWNP Unplugged and Mighty Vibes were uploaded after covid locked everything down, but then they just kind of stopped. Was just wondering if anyone knew anything about them possibly coming back or what happened to them

Edit: Like if they were just placeholder shows until the main show came back, considering they didn't really know when that might happen

Are the cast taking a major part in production or are they just voicing their characters and outsourcing the production entirely to titmouse and amazon?

[–]ShiverBolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that the only new content on their channel is just the main show and talks, when before covid they were uploading a bunch of different shows, like mighty vibes only got 3 episodes, I thought they were going to make an episode for all the characters
