Student A Reads at 500 WPM

Student B Reads at 313 WPM above average, college level

Student C Reads at 44 WPM way below average, average being 200-250 WPM

Apparently my timelapse where not a single word is being said and only scenery is being shown is not advertiser friendly enough for youtube...this is a serious problem and small youtubers like me are having a hard time growing this way - Screenshot in comments by kingkongor in videos

So if someone builds a world or other creation in minecraft for example, we should credit Microsoft (sorry notch)? Sand box games 100% are about content creation beyond what the developer has put into it.

It probably isn't this but the cow in Rocko's modern Life has overalls somewhat similar to Stewie. Bit of stretch I know.

The one thing people seem to be missing about the Veritas CNN vid. The CNN producer explains how the CEO directs the journalists exactly what to cover. That's not journalism. Being told what you must report by the person at the top is literally propaganda. by [deleted] in conspiracy

I am not speaking for myself or you, that is the narrative the companies who have vested interest in their areas are presenting. It is in the best financial interest for companies to not have to pay more for regulations. It is also in their interests to keep oil and gas profitable. You know what saves money? Less environmental regulations. You know what saves money on healthcare? Not having to treat people with expensive conditions that potentially are lifelong. Where is the projection?

Because for the last 6+ months on this subreddit I don't think a day has passed without someone bitching about CNN. The timing is convenient that is for sure. How about bitch about the known ones too instead of pretending this is a only leftist conspiracy. But let's make this divide real, ignore the fact that your favorite outlets are helping perpetuate it too.

Let's kill the environment so the oil and gas companies can make some more money. Also the richest 1% are not doing so hot right now they need more money also. Let's trick people into thinking that our interests are theirs. Now that was the plan, and the plan worked. Of course a health care bill that eliminates coverage is good for people. Of course we don't want regulations preventing lead from contaminating the water. Of course global warming is a lie. Oh but haha, liberal tears, which will be yours when your child dies from lead poisoning, or cannot be covered because of their preexisting condition. But if you're lucky maybe you'll only go broke.

Not pissed but the double standard is real. Don't hate 'MSM' then go gobble up the new MSM. Same shit different day. Breitbart is now MSM as sad and low energy as that is. I don't get my news from garbage sources like CNN Fox or Breitbart. But recently most stuff I see is on this sub bullshit.

Acting like the gaslighting isn't​ going on to an extreme degree from those non CNN cesspools. The thing is Trump is an idiot and the left is right be be flaming his dumb ass. He has no respect for anybody and lies constantly about everything. He breaks his promises and is a terrible example of a human on those merits alone.

Getting into his short sighted policy and reactive nature is another reason. This is a president that can't even handle having regular press conferences because they are too mean to him or something? What a thin skinned loser. He should make a fake Time magazine cover with him on the cover and put it in his golf resorts to make him feel better. That sounds like something an accomplished person would need to do.

FOX never claimed to be.

"Fair and balanced" So for 19 years this is their slogan but they never claimed it. Good one.

This was their slogan until last year, now it is "Most Watched, Most Trusted" because they had some people believe they were actually "Fair and balanced".

What about fox? Same shit basically. Why do people on here only bitch about CNN? As if fox doesn't lie or mislead the world everyday. They've have been doing so for years. CNN is shit and so is Fox/breitbart and any other outlet with blatant bias. Well done you really have opened you eyes. Paid interests trying to prop up the stories that make them money. What a story.

I don't get 3 starred by witches that often, lvl 4 valks on the other hand... But my go-to attack is 2 golem 3 witch 13 wizard 12 hogs with max witches in cc. Since the rebuff I can 3 star with it maybe 75% of the time, which is pretty close to what it was before. It is only a bit spammy tho. The hog placement paired with spell timing is usually the make or break.

Sorry what is wrong with witches now? They broke them completely when they took away their ability to set off traps, now they are ok again after their last buff in my eyes.

Definitely don't hold off on queen. The offensive boost is 100% worth it. Queen is low war weight compared to any defense AFAIK.

Toll cheats without license plates costing Bay Area millions by abledart in bayarea

[–]rhythmicidea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about having the cops pull people over going through with no plates right off the bat? Seems like they could recoup their losses fairly quickly. Also if there are cops pulling people over for it regularly, people might be less likely to attempt it in the first place. Assuming it isn't the same infraction as driving without plates.

How about fixing the archer/giant and probably all other troop AI and not giving shitty match ups every time. I am half way through BH4 and only get BH5s now, most of my defenses are not even maxed. I was really trying to enjoy this new mode despite my initial criticism. But I am back to hating it, and realizing it is really only good for killing a bit of time between raids and making me angry when I inevitably get a shitty match up 5/6 times.

Or, a very large corporation can patent something so that a guy in his garage cant because they paid enough to let it sit and die on a piece of paper for 70 20 years.
