Yes, seems to be just sound bites to you.

To me it is two people discussing topics, to the best of thier ability, with legacy media time limits.

Not sure what conflict is...

I am not a person that prides themselves in self censorship of certain people.

You are thinking way too much into a random video. Not sure what you mean on selling shirts part, I guess you are talking about the preview of the description, seems like that channel has merch for fans of the channel...

Not sure how usernames determine everthing about someone.

Viewpoints will not always align with your prefered way of thinking.

It is good to learn to talk with people that are different from what you think, so as to help when talking with others.

Hope you have a great day!

That is not how the world works.

Have a great day!

The C.S. Lewis And J.R.R. Tolkien Relationship Explained

• J.R.R. Tolkien led C.S. Lewis to Christianity
• C.S. Lewis encouraged J.R.R. Tolkien to write 'The Lord of the Rings'
• They bonded over their experiences in WWI
• C.S. Lewis wanted to 'smack' J.R.R. Tolkien
• C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien helped bridge the gap between literature and linguistics
• They both lost their parents as children
• J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis pursued escapism through their writings
• Both men enjoyed legendary love affairs
• C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien received different receptions during their lifetimes
• C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien held 'Beowulf and Beer' sessions
• Their friendship hit lows over writing difference and religion
• A fellowship of writers never broken

Despite the blemish at the end of their relationship, the shock waves of their friendship still resound today. After all, it's no exaggeration to attribute their greatest literary works to the encouragement they showed one another (via Newsweek). And their friendship would transcend time. How? Through their many literary works where camaraderie remains a fundamental theme.

Well, he is more of a comedian than a puppet of the status quo...

Not sure what you qualify as a "comedian"?

At the end of the day, yes.

Random thoughts on the subject, while trying to connect it to other problems...

Thanks for letting me know, I made an edit.

Heard this floating around in the webs: Hamas wanted a last standoff sort of fight, which would result in a higher death count vs. what was happening for decades, death of Palestine by smaller conflicts.

Crips/bloods and Independent (RFK Jr.) seem to be pushing for more war at the end of the day, so looks like Iran/Yemen and others will join in on the fight. Biden sent US troops closer to the conflict, so once US deaths are seen conflict on the US side will increase.

Heard somewhere that the people in charge of Israel were also helping fund Hamas so as to increase conflict... -Tangent thought: reminded me of Clinton proping up Trump, so as to have an easier win in 2016

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

edit: fixed word salad a bit

Not sure on your thought process of self censoring if the subject matter caught your interest?

We will not always agree 100% with people, but we can learn from them (good or bad, if willing), even when our view points do not align with people.

Thank you!

He was only a rapper at one point.

In music it happens more often than you think.

Some even do that on purpose, so as not to limit themselves to a genre.

Hope this helps!

Not sure why the strong wording against a comedian.

I know we will not agree on everything we talk about, but why such high expectations or language?

When I see this, I only think that your circle of friends would not talk to you if they know you watched a random Joe Rogan video...

I see this in certain groups of circles, self censorship due to certain subjects spoken about, which go against your point of view.

If you can explain that would help me understand these circles more?

Thank you!

Seems like some people will learn more on how cars work so as to disable the features...

"Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. Automakers are exponentially increasing the number of sensors they place in their cars every year with little regulation of the practice."

Random video that goes with above: Tesla faces possible lawsuit after allegations workers secretly shared images from car cameras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTtRgq0WdLg [1:00]

Awesome video I remember seeing, I think it was a NotJustBikes rabbit hole quest!

Thanks for posting!

Religion tends to have that effect on people, be it their god(s) or text.

Yes, people in office are religious.

Do you have any update on this?

“We have just spoken with the DOJ and have been informed that they have concluded their investigation into Congressman Gaetz and allegations related to sex trafficking and obstruction of justice and they have determined not to bring any charges against him,” Gaetz’s lawyers, Marc Mukasey and Isabelle Kirshner, said in a statement.

Great quote!

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

Nice one, made me chuckle!
