Lol great clip. I totally get what's he's saying. We don't necessarily need to ask him for his views, but he has 100% offered them himself.

I don't really understand this sentiment. No one is asking him to run for office. He's an American citizen and he has a huge platform to speak on. Of course his political views have merit. You don't have to be a political science major to talk politics. This comment section is proof of that. Obviously he is only one person and no one should be informing theirselves soley in what he has to say, but like anyone else his words aren't meaningless.

You're not wrong. There may be legitimate reasons to turn down food. There are definitely other indicators which could be a tell as to whether they are truly needy or not. Their response to food is usually a big one, but shouldn't necessarily be the only thing to make judgements on.

There are a lot of homeless people that stand on the side of roads with signs asking for charity where I live. There is almost an equal amount of people who do it as a "job" and take turns being on shift with their buddies before they walk to a nearby parking lot and drive back home at the end of the day. They usually do not accept food if offered. Actual needy people will gladly take food. If I were to give cash to someone, I'd offer food first.

I am quick to believe and upvote pictures like this, likely go a fault. But where do people get this info? Why are sources not provided?

I've only read the first Mistborn book so far but Sanderson had absolutely no prose in his writing. I don't want to be too critical since that was one of his first books two decades ago, but it felt like I was reading something written by a high schooler. However, the actual story and plot were amazing. I'm definitely going to continue reading his books with the hope that he doesn't continue to write "Vin rolled her eyes" 300 more times. His magic system is really well thought out and the characters are very believable and likeable. King on the other hand, is kind of the exact opposite. His prose is top notch but he usually writes about fuck all. I'm currently on the final Dark Tower book and it's a slog to get through. I liked most of the previous books in the series so I'm determined to finish it, but you can tell he just makes shit up as he goes. I think King excels with his short stories, even the best Dark Tower book in my opinion is a sort of spin off from the rest. Like I said, I'll gladly keep reading through Sanderson's works for now but I really hope he learns to become engaging with his actual words on the paper.

When I worked in retail, I'd have customers ask me to raise or lower the temperature in the store I worked at. "Of course!" I'd say and then disappear into the back area and play on my phone for a couple of minutes. I'd come back out and ask if it was starting to feel better, to which they'd reply, "I feel it working already, thank you!"

I'm in school for electrical engineering. Everyone I tell that to then says they are going to hire me to fix the electrical issues at their house.

Seek and iNaturalist is for all animals and plants. They use your photos to track data about the species you take pictures of, mostly just where you found them. It also keeps track of all of the species you've found and gives you challenges to find certain species depending on where you are in the world. If the AI fails to identify something, your photo can be peer reviewed by other users.

I always think it's what I sound like until I hear a recording of myself. My real voice is a little bit deeper, but other than that it's close.

Cool? No. Relatable? Unfortunately yes for many.
