Yes, I love that channel! I added so many videos to my watch later list, that I had to stop and just accept hat I will be going through a ton of them. It's so interesting to me because I almost grew up in the USSR, but a last minute intervention by the US government made it so I grew up in the US instead. I always wondered what it would have been like if that didn't happen and I lived in the Soviet Union.

I agree that they should be hospitalized in that case, but more than likely, they would be arrested in the US.

Thanks! Link for those that are interested 👍

Imagine the face you would have to have to do this. This is some Jackass level bullshit.

"My name is Johnny Knoxville, and this is the Regressive Congressman has a Psychotic Break on the Senate Floor bit."

In the US, unless he's a real direct threat to themselves or someone else's safety, they would not be detained. People are allowed to be insane as long as they aren't imminently a real direct threat to anyone's safety.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! Those pictures of the barren grocery stores look terrible. I went to Russia in the mid 90s, and while consumer goods were not as abundant as in the US, the stores did not look as bad as in those pictures. However, I remember that meat was a bit scarce. We mostly had soup, eggs, bread, and potatoes. In fact, one time we went for an extravagant night out to a restaurant, and I was told that I was really lucky to have some sort of meat entree (like a steak or similar, can't remember exactly).

Thanks for sharing! Why do you think Pizza Huts are doing so poorly, and do you think that Pizza Hut in general will be going out of business anytime soon?

Tell us about the ones you know about

Pretty much, unless you are independently wealthy, own the real estate in a high traffic location, or already have multiple other franchises, it’s a losing venture that will kill your soul and eat every dollar you have.

So most of these places are ran by a person that got trapped into a shitty deal like a timeshare?

Kvas, a sweet beverage made out of fermented bread. I think it tastes way better than soft drinks so I’m not sure why everyone isn’t drinking it. Maybe it’s an acquired taste?

Interesting! There's a Russian store/deli near my place where I get my loose leaf green tea. I'll swing by and pick some up to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Ahh, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing and explaining it :)

If faster than light travel existed, then a species would possibly be able to colonize anything in less than an instant because they'd be traveling backwards in time.

However, it might be possible to change locations faster than light by cutting through spacetime using a wormhole.

Yet, in support of your argument, I think I also remember that perhaps there are ways to warp spacetime around a ship so that locally, the ship is not traveling faster than light, but the warping of spacetime is. I don't understand this concept well enough to have a confident opinion on it tho. For example, is it possible to warp spacetime faster than light without violating general relativity?

But there are credible models for sailing light beamed from stars, and even gravity surfing rotating black holes.

Can you elaborate on these? I would like to know more.

I don't get it :/

Ever seen the video of the cashier at a convenience store who is so fucked up his head is falling back and his eyes are closed?

Nope. Anyone have a link?

it's because they're closer to the sun on the mountains

thanks!

So why are these people dying in there? What's killing them??

Think of the Internet as being able to send opened letters with a destination address and return address. Anyone that handles the letter to help deliver it can see what it says, who's sending it, and where it's going.

A VPN is like asking a company to help you transmit the letter with more privacy. The VPN creates a secret code between you and the VPN, so that only you two understand what is in the letter. Then, the VPN communicates with whomever while not sharing your identity so that no one knows who you are unless you specifically tell them in the letter.

Say you want to know what the symptoms you're experiencing after a sexual encounter are, but you're embarrassed and don't want anyone to suspect anything in case it's nothing. You tell your VPN you want to send a letter to the medical info center. The VPN tells you to use a code that was created automatically so that no one knows what it means besides you and their code machine, and was sent to you earlier when you signed up for their service or at a regular update. "Use code 5 we sent you last week." You write the letter and address in code 5, then address it in normal language to the VPN, sending it via the mail system. The VPN machine translates the code to normal language but changes the return address to its own address. The medical info center receives a letter saying that the VPN wants to know the info you requested, so they respond. The VPN receives the info, translates it back to code 5, and sends the info to you.

As far as everyone in the mail system is concerned, you sent and received info from the VPN, but only you know what it was because the mail system couldn't understand it, and the VPN handled it through an automated machine. The medical mail system and medical info center then knows what the letter said, but thinks the VPN requested that info, so they don't know it was you. Since the VPN handles tons of mail, no one knows who is requesting what specific info through the VPN.

Note: This assumes the VPN doesn't keep logs. Some VPNs might actually track what you send, so they could keep track of your messages. That's why people that value privacy recommend to use VPNs that don't keep logs.
