Hey everyone, welcome back to Prime Answers, we're just going to jump right into your questions and throw a little bit of editing in this video just to, because I feel kind of bad, my lighting set up something good, my face is a little too dark, hat on, hat off, it is what it is. So let's just get first to the questions from Patreon. The first one comes from Corey Bowman, he says, you suddenly become aware you are living in Westworld, good show by the way, I haven't watched that the last season yet though. You immediately figure out if Eric and Edward Norton are host androids, or guests, humans. Which category does each of them fit in and why? I don't know that I'd be able to tell, I think that's the entire point of Westworld, is you're not supposed to tell who's a host, you know, who's an android, who's human, that's the entire point of it, I don't think I could tell, I think the only way to tell would have to be to cut off a limb. And I don't know that I want to cut off a limb of Eric, or poor Edward, so I don't know that I could actually think which category they would fit in, the hosts are so, in that show are like so human like, you know, it's supposed to be like this facade of like what the future could be if android technology and robot technology ever got that far, but yeah, I don't know that I could tell, and I think that's the point. So Corey Boehm then asks, inspired by the 90 day diet that I'm currently on, what are your favorite veggies and your favorite preparation methods? My favorite veggies, I like pickles, pickles are a big one, I like carrots, cucumbers, steamed broccoli that's actually a big part of the diet as well, like steamed broccoli with a little bit of salt and pepper and some garlic powder, those are kind of like my go to veggies, some people enjoy more of the lettuce kind of stuff or the kale, that's not really my kind of thing, although you know, if my diet has a day that calls for that, I'll have some. As for my favorite preparation methods, I don't really have like a favorite prep method for the diet on the whole, because I basically, I prepare all of my food almost a day ahead of time, I don't cook at all and then eat it usually because I'm too busy between my job and the kids and all that stuff, so reality is that diet wise, I just make the food ahead of time, I usually pan fry or pan cook almost everything in this diet because it's a pretty simplistic diet, it's very simple foods in small amounts several times a day, I mean you get your three main meals and two snacks, it's very simplistic, there's some protein shake stuff in there and you just kind of get enough to keep you satisfied throughout the day and into the next day and into your workout that I usually do at night now, so yeah, Corey Bohm comes up with another question, again if you're a patron you can get all these questions in right on our Discord server and he says, as CEO of Nintendo of America, you are asked to come with a pre-order promotion to be offered during E3, what idea do you present to Nintendo of Japan for approval? Absolutely nothing because I think pre-order promotions are garbage, I don't think they should be doing pre-order promotions, so my proposal to Nintendo of Japan would be, hey let's not do pre-order proposals, let's just create great games with great advertising. Corey Bohm comes in with another question, he says, Tropical Freeze vs Kirby vs Super Mario U vs Crafted World, rank the Nintendo platformers on Switch and explain your choices, this actually is not that hard, although Crafted World having only the demo it's not fair to even include that in the rankings, but Tropical Freeze to me is one of the best if not the best 2D sized scrolling platformers of all time, after that Kirby, Super Mario, Crafted World, Crafted World I almost need to set aside because I don't think you can talk about that with just a demo, but Kirby and Super Mario Brothers U, Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe is a better game than Kirby, so it would go Tropical Freeze, Super Mario Brothers U, then Kirby. Corey Bohm also gets another question and this might be his last question and he says, you are stranded on an island with every system ever made, but only 5 games, what 5 games do you bring? Well we're talking about games that have to be infinitely replayable but I'm on an island so I assume there's no internet connection, so a lot of multiplayer games aren't going to matter, so things like Smash Bros, as fun as they can be on your own, not really going to matter in my case, so it's going to have to be infinitely replayable single player games and there's not really infinitely replayable, it's just what games do you enjoy replaying over and over again. Secret of Mana, I'll make the list, Breath of the Wild, but make that list. Three more games, stuck on an island, need to be entertaining forever, man. You know, maybe Super Mario 64, all system, I'm trying to think if there's something from some other platforms that maybe I want to throw in there. Probably one of the Final Fantasies, I'm not sure which one, but there would be a Final Fantasy game in there, I'd have to go back and start looking at them, so that gets me up to four, and then for the last one, this is tough, because a lot of games when I think of replayability, I always think of multiplayer, so thinking of single player games that I care to replay as someone who doesn't really replay games, I think it has to be a game that I just have a lot of fun with and a lot of challenge, and for me, I think I'm going to have to go with Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, because even against NPCs on 200CC, there's just a lot of replayability there, and I really like that, so even though it's a multiplayer game, it's one that I have a lot of fun with in single player. Alright, the rest of these questions come from our people on YouTube, the first one from Waluigi, what a name, says, do we think we are getting any new joycon colors this year? I just finally got the yellow pair, so now I have neon blue, neon red, and neon yellow pairs, and to answer that, yeah, of course we're getting new colors, there's going to be colors that match different games, sure there'll be some green set or something that matches Link's Awakening, something for the new Pokemon game, yeah, there's going to be new colors, new colors are just going to be a constant as long as Switch is Nintendo's primary platform. Shadow King 1982 says, what would it take for video game movies to be good? Also, what are your thoughts on actors from movies that get criticism basically attacking fans of said franchises? The second point I'm not sure you're talking about, because I don't pay attention to interviews, see when you don't pay attention to interviews, or you don't pay attention to like these actors' Twitters, you don't really end up caring or knowing what the drama is, you just enjoy the films or don't enjoy the films, but in terms of what it would take for a video game movie to be good. I'm always of mind that video game movies need a good script, obviously, need a good setting, some respect to the IP, but still doing your own original work, and I think that's like the beginning, a good script with the right actors in a good setting that at least pays homage to the work, but does its own original thing, and yeah, I think that is really how you do it. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line we don't get a good mix of that, sometimes stick too close to the games, and in doing so games aren't inherently built for a movie format, so that doesn't work very well, some just don't put in the right actors, so a lot of them have absolutely horrendous scripts, so that's really what leads to a sinking of them, and some of them are not very original, so yeah, all of that is really how, at least to me, you get a successful video game movie, so as for thoughts on movies that get criticism, basically attacking the, you know, the actors attacking the fans, I don't think attacking the fans ever gets you anywhere, I don't, you know, you could disagree with opinions, but I think that's just them defending themselves, because they were really proud of that role, and they're upset that people aren't happy with them, I don't know, it's tough, they face so much, I mean, even me as a YouTuber, like, I face a lot of criticism, these actors, like, trying to play these roles in highly respected franchises, like imagine if Aladdin, that movie's really bad, they're kind of backlashy actors for Jasmine and Al, and well, obviously, the genie will submit there, imagine the backlash they would get if that movie's really bad, so there's just a lot that they go through that someone like me would never have to, so I try to put myself in their shoes and understand that, like, they're just, they're trying to defend themselves, and honestly it just makes things worse, and that's what I've found out, so I don't know, hopefully that's just something they learn from in the future. This one comes from Josh Moe, why does Nintendo have a wealth of small franchises like Sin and Punishment, F-Zero, Chibi, Robo, Doshin, The Giant, Pikmin, Golden Sun, Punch-Out, Advance Wars, Warrior Land, Punch-Out, I don't know why Punch-Out's listed twice in Paper Mario, but for some reason Nintendo just ignores them, or they make, as I said, they don't completely ignore all those games, some of the games had recent entries, but he says, but they make these bad spin-offs that are a slap in the face to fans. Can you tell me what you think is the reason Nintendo just doesn't care about these franchises, yet they give so much attention to bleep like One-Two Switch and Labo, they don't sell, what do you want me to tell you? Bottom line is, all those games you listed, they don't sell very well, they're more expensive to make, and they don't sell well, so cheaper spin-offs or games like One-Two Switch and Labo that move millions of units but doesn't cost Nintendo a fortune to make, that's what they're gonna make. Gotta remember, Nintendo's still a for-profit company, just be happy they even still make Metroid games, because Metroid games are another one that really don't sell that well, and cost Nintendo a lot of money to make. Heck, they just rebooted Metroid Prime 4 without any guarantee that it's ever gonna sell more than 2 million units, so you have to remember, all those franchises you listed are franchises that just do not sell. I mean, the answer is staring you, writing the faces, look at the sales data, it's very obvious why Nintendo de-emphasizes those IPs. Mitchell Clyburn says, do you want me to send another phone box? My wife and I have been thinking of other cool things. Sure, go for it, I'll never tell you what to do, never tell you what to send me, never ask you to send me anything, but yeah, I do have a public PO box, for those who are wondering, if you go to the about section of my YouTube channel, there is the PO box, so if you would like to send me something, you can, you know, obligation, no, you don't need to, but I do make videos about it when people do send me stuff in. Nintendo 64 as Kings says, where do you think the Mario series should go from Odyssey? Would you be in favor of a sequel like they did with Galaxy to save on development time? Or do you think an open world Mario game is possible a la Breath of the Wild, where all of the stages are connected to one another in a vast setting? I'd love to see that kind of experimentation. Where do I think the Mario series should go from Odyssey? Well, I think there should be a Super Mario Odyssey too, but besides that, I don't even think to save on development time, I just think people really want more Mario Odyssey, so like give the people what they want. But as for, you know, an open world Mario game, it's obviously possible, but I think that kind of goes against the nature of Mario. I don't think, I don't ever see Mario as a fully open world game. I don't think that's ever going to happen. Fully open world levels? Yes, fully open world game. So I think it's always going to have a hub or something of some sort. It would be interesting to see them go back to where the castle's a hub, like in Mario 64, but I don't know. I mean, I like the direction Mario's going in, so I don't really feel like I need to tell them what to do or have any hopes or aspirations. I think with Galaxy and Odyssey, they've kind of proven to me that they know what they're doing, so I'm going to let them be and just do what they want to do. I think Mario is best when Nintendo does whatever they want to do with it. Robert Schleicher, sorry if I butcher that name, he says, do you think a Switch Mini would be backwards compatible with DS slash 3DS games? The DS library is so huge, can't just abandon it. Do I think a Switch Mini would be backwards compatible? No. Can I understand why you would desire it to be? Sure. Reality is Nintendo Switch hardware is not the same hardware that's in a DS and 3DS, so they would have to include extra chips inside of the Switch Mini, which would therefore make the Switch Mini more expensive and Ergo make it less attractive on the market. So I don't think they're going to make it backwards compatible at all. Nope, sorry. And that's assuming it didn't even exist. We don't even know Switch Mini's real. We don't know Switch Pro's real. All we know is the Switch we have now. Dungeon Master Z390 says, if Nintendo doesn't design their console to be a hybrid, do you think they would return to the two-pillar system they had before? You remember they have a handheld home console? I don't think Nintendo's ever going to return to a time when they had a handheld home console. One or the other would be completely abandoned someday. That's just my take on it. Obviously, never say never, but I'm saying never because it's just what I believe. Marino's Basia Dacus says, how important is it for the Switch to add SNES, Game Boy, and GameCube games, etc. to the virtual console? I don't think it's important at all. I think a lot of people really care about it. A lot of people would like to see SNES and GameCube and N64 and all that added to the Nintendo Switch Online service, but in terms of important to Nintendo, they don't care. It's important to people who own a Switch. I think there's a lot of people that would care, but I also think the people that care about things like virtual console or retro gaming are a small number of people in comparison to the people that just want new games on Switch. I think more people care about the next Pokemon, the next Mario, the next Zelda, the next Metroid, the next Pikmin, the next Xenoblade, the next Daemon X Machina that's coming, new IPs. A lot more people care about that than they care about bringing old games back. So I think it's important for some people out there, but I don't think Nintendo places a big importance on it. And I think that's what's really frustrating to people that want that stuff. But I don't know what to tell you. I wish they were more like Microsoft in this way. Microsoft seems to have a pretty deep respect for their back catalog of games that Nintendo doesn't see, at least a deep respect to the users for their back catalog of games that Nintendo doesn't seem as amped to do. Now, granted, Nintendo has a lot more systems to deal with than Microsoft does, but still. I don't think Microsoft's going to abandon backwards compatibility on the next console either, even if they don't have a disk drive. They'll let you be able to somehow with an Xbox or whatever, Xbox One, register it to your user profile and bring it over or figure out a way. Or they'll just use Game Pass or something. They'll always be able to access the old games on Xbox. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't let us do that, but it is what it is. At first I thought it was just because they were going to release more like NES Classic, SNES Classic, N64 Classic, Gamecube Classic, Gameboy Classic, but they're not. At least they said they're not. So I don't know. BATNAV10 says, do you think Nintendo would ever make an adapter for the Switch to play 3DS games? Never say never. They've done this before. You guys remember the Super Gameboy? You guys remember the attachment for the Super Boy? You guys remember the attachment for the Gamecube? I think N64 had a way to do it too. It's possible, but Nintendo hasn't made an attachment like that in a long time. It didn't exist for Wii or Wii U, so I don't think they're actually going to do it. Could they do it? Yes. Are they going to do it? No. Because the hardware to play 3DS games isn't inside the Switch. They would have to emulate them. And I don't think Nintendo is interested in making a 3DS emulator for Switch. Eber Norton says, are you going to see Captain Marvel or This Is Us? I don't know what This Is Us is. I'll have to look that up. Captain Marvel I've already seen. And I liked it. It was pretty good. Better than people were trying to make it sound like to be because they didn't like the Brie Larson for some reason. I don't know. I tried to stay out of all that drama stuff on social media. So honestly, I thought Captain Marvel was pretty good. I'm not going to say it's like one of the best Marvel movies, but it definitely was better than Iron Man 3. And I like Iron Man 3. I like it more than most people, but I can admit Captain Marvel was better than that. And I think Captain Marvel needed to happen. I can understand now, after seeing the movie and seeing the bonus scenes, why Captain Marvel was necessary. Oh, and the new trailer as well for the next Avengers. This movie needed to happen before the Avengers happened. And if you pay attention to the comics, you kind of knew that too. But the mind of Thomas last question says, do you watch the Pokemon anime? Not anymore. I've watched the Pokemon anime in like 20 years. I watched the seasons like 1, 2, and 3, and then that was it. If for some reason it didn't stick with me like SpongeBob. Like SpongeBob, I still watch it this day. But not Pokemon. I don't know why. I can't really explain it. Anyways, thank you guys for tuning in to this episode of Prime Answers, or thank you all. You guys are wonderful, and I will see you next Tuesday. I shouldn't say that. That's a little meme thing. I'll see you guys next weekend with another episode of Prime Answers. Peace out.


TLO Westpah! If y'all are on Twitch, we are not live, but you can leave a like, comment, subscribe, turn on your post notification bells, man, let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK, even though I live in the south now, I live in Miami, Florida. It's another rainy day, days like this and starting in Chicago, anywho, Americans living abroad. This is the last time you realize America really messed you up, TikTok 2021. When this video comes out, before we even go anywhere, hey, hey, man, y'all know what it's time to do, it's time to give y'all my urban perspective on this, even though I couldn't even relate because I don't live abroad, but I've never even been out the country, so y'all see my title, I've switched it, I've tried something new to see if it reaches more people, if I put American reacts, it's that American dude. And then you realize that America, what is one time that you realize that America really messed you up? Okay, I have type 1 diabetes and I lived in Costa Rica, the very first day that I was there, my insulin pump stopped working, this was like some weird fluke unrelated to anything else. Okay. I haven't been to a doctor yet or really nowhere to go, so I went to a pharmacy because I needed to get long acting insulin so I could still treat my disease. Don't tell me they didn't have insulin there. And when I went to the pharmacy, the insulin was $20 for a vial. In the United States, I paid $322 for that same vial. Oh yeah, you didn't know that? You didn't know that, miss? You didn't know that? That we, on the healthcare side, we are, man, we are getting over on people out here.  I also want to add that I have insulin over the counter without a prescription. In the United States, I have to see my endocrinologist four times a year to get that prescription for a medication that keeps me alive. Wow. You see? Living abroad. What is one time that made you realize that America... Oh, so we gonna, she gonna come up every time. Really mess you up. So I am an American living in Paris. I studied in both a French university and an American university. Okay. Due to my American university, I'll be paying off my student loans until I'm 50, maybe even 60. The schooling was free or something? Whereas for my French degree, nothing, no, no, because it was free, free 99, F-R-E-E, gratis, gratuite, complete. And you know that degree doesn't transfer if you come to America, right? Is that, am I lying, am I talking, or does it not transfer? The French one, when you come to America, because I heard from a lot of like people that come from other countries into America that are doctors and dentists, they're not doctors and dentists, it's no more in America, because the degree didn't, it's not the same over here. Well, not completely free, but still free. It's tough. American currently living abroad. What is one time that made you realize that America really messed you up? I was living abroad in the U.K. and I had, okay, here we go, a job interview. And of course, growing up in the U.S., you're conditioned to dress so professional, be prepared, have your resume, and all these things. So I was like that really much. And I remember walking into the interview and they were like, oh, you look really snazzy. And I was like, okay, I'm going to put up for an interview. Oh, they called you snazzy.  Come on. It was snazzy. And I was like, okay, first of all, I've never heard that before in an interview. Then the second, they didn't even ask me anything besides, hey, Kyle, would you like a cup of tea? And I was like, okay. They asked you for some tea? Never was asked that before, ever in any other job interview. Okay. We had a tea and we literally like sat, chopped it up, and talked about all sorts of stuff in personal life, their life, and we just had a laugh for like 45 minutes. And right afterwards, they're like, you're perfect for the job. You fit great. And it was really crazy to me and it was a really fun experience. I wish the U.S. would just chill out sometimes a little bit. I think I had one job interview like that before when I walked in and they didn't do, the interview had nothing to do with the job. And me and the manager, we was just chopping it up, talking about life, and he was trying to see. And I feel like when you do it like that, you're trying to just get a feel for the person, my bad if it's clicking, you're trying to get a feel for the person and who they really are. You know what I'm saying? All those questions in America, oh, if this happens at the job, what would you do in this situation? Well, I don't know. I ain't never been in that situation. You want me to lie to you? Because that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to lie to you. I worked at the Marriott one, I worked at the Marriott for five years. I was almost in management. Well, you could say I wasn't managing. I did the overnight shift. I'm the manager at the overnight. So I did morning shifts too, but you know, when they interview you and you know, they were teaching me how to interview people and they teach you how to interview for other positions, how to get interview, they tell you literally when they ask you these questions, if you've never been to the, in that situation, lie. Not verbatim, that's what they say, but they give you step by steps on how to answer the questions. And you just, they give you like, it's like five parts to every question that you answer. So you answer the question with these five parts and you just remember those five parts in your head. And then when they asked you the question, make up the five parts in your head. That's what they, that's how you do interviews. It's crazy. They don't even really want to know who you are. My bad. Hold on. Babe! What? I got a letter from Jeff Bezos. What? Yeah. No, you didn't. And this is why, you know what I ain't going to say now, I'm just going to skip because now I know you're lying. You know what you're saying. Brod, what is one time that made you realize that America really messed you up? I'm going to keep this really short and sweet. When I knew America messed me up was when I was living in Canada and they gave me 12 months paid to hang out with my kid. Oh, and then just in case you could take 18 months and they'll still pay for it. Is this maternity leave or what? And your employer has to give you your job back. I can't be real, but it is. It sounds like a fairy tale. In America you get three to six months, I think she's talking about maternity leave. You get three to six months and you got to be back, period. You get three to six depending on the job you get three sometimes. I think it might be two sometimes. We get maternity leave. A lot of men don't know that, but we get it too. We only get like two months. That's crazy. 18, man, listen, I'll be out there. Papa was a rolling stone popping out kids and getting maternity leave. I'd never be at work. Man, I've just had another kid. I need another 18. I'm sorry. See, and that's the American mindset. That's how Americans don't get that type of stuff. If you're an American currently living abroad, what is one time that you need to realize that America is when I moved back to America? I lived in Japan for 15 years. The first day I was in Japan, the first train I ever rode on, I saw people wearing masks. And I asked my then fiance, oh my gosh, is there some kind of like epidemic? And she said, no, this is just what we do during cold and flu season. People wear masks to protect themselves. I was like, oh, for 15 years I could buy a mask at the convenience store, the grocery store. I always had a box on the shelf by my front door. So if I was not feeling very well, I'd grab a mask on my way to work. No big deal. So when I to protect other people, came home, makes the pandemic started. I thought, finally, all Americans will get the importance of mask. Surely they won't politicize that guess again. I was wrong. Yes, apparently living abroad. What is one time that made you realize that America really messed you up? Nine months before I moved to Ireland, I was. I'm not even going to lie. This is more shocking than I thought it would be. I didn't know it was going to be this shocking, especially that 18 months. But then what I said, following that 18 months paternity leave made it maybe realize this is why we don't get that mindset there on a vacation. And the person I was with really messed you up. Nine months before I moved to Ireland, I was there on a vacation. And the person I was with, we had a car. And we stayed at a golf resort kind of in the middle of nowhere because it was the off season, so it was actually really affordable. There was a gated front entrance to this golf resort. And there was a small little village on the other side of it. And because we were pretty far back on the property and it was January, so the weather was kind of crappy, we often would drive if we needed to run to the store for anything or to a restaurant. We became friends with the front gate attendant because we were in and out all the time. So one day we're driving to go to dinner and I had asked him, hey, what's the legal limit for like drinking and driving here? I wasn't planning to do anything stupid, but I'm also a public health major. And knowing that Ireland is known for its drinking culture, I was curious. So I thought I'd ask. Wait, let me guess, it's not tolerated at all. That could be wrong. The guy looked at me completely dumbfounded. He's like, what? So I clarified the amount of alcohol you could have in your system and still legally drive. And he says, none? What is one time? Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. I always wonder why we had like in America, we got like 0.08 or something like, whatever it is, like it should just be nothing. You shouldn't be able to drink at all.  There's people that drink one drink and can't handle it and can't see, can't walk, can't nothing.  When my grandfather was dying, we went to Scotland to go and see him for one last time. And at one point, my grandfather had a prescription that he needed picking up. So I pop out of the car, run into the pharmacy, and I've got my purse on me. I don't have very much money with me, I just didn't. And I went in and I'm just like, okay, I'm here to pick up for my grandfather, this is his name, and I've got my passport out ready to hand it to them, like to prove that I'm who I say I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. How's John doing? Here you go, here's the stuff. Hey, let him know that if he ever needs help with this, you can just call us, we'll send it on down to him. I said, thank you. And then I stood there and they're like, why are you still here? I was like, I need to pay.  Everything's free. What? I never felt more uncomfortable leaving a building than I did in that day. So everything medical is free for all people here. You know, you can't even get certain insurances if you're over a certain age and have certain illnesses in America as a normal person. Like if I smoke, I can't do any, like it's harder for me to get like life insurance. That's curry. Just, it was awful. If you're an American currently living abroad, what is one time that made you realize that America really? So I've been living in Italy for about 11 years now, 12 years, and I'm here to be with my husband and in the US, I got my tubes tied after my third child and decided I didn't want any more, but he didn't have any. So we decided to do IVF and I got pregnant with twins at 13 weeks. I lost one and once I lost that child, they considered me a high risk pregnancy and took me off work from that moment on until three months after she was born. And I was paid 100% of my check and then until she was one, I got to come home two hours a day to breastfeed her. 100% paid. When was the last time you did a proper living in? Like what? I'm not a woman, but God, Lee, I identify with the pay rates that they get. No, I'm just, that's not funny. Don't cancel me. But like, come on, man, Hey, realize that America really messes. It's like, it's like, y'all countries really care about your life. And there's no secret hidden agenda behind anything. That's tough. I was in Grenada for, okay, queen. How are you doing? And every single day between 12 and two, it would always close down. Everything would just close down. And I was just like, what is going on? And they're like, well, we need to go home and have lunch with our family. You know, just enjoy, just relax a little bit. And that was when I realized every other country out here really understands the value of spending time with your loved ones and just actually taking a break. Yeah. Mental health. America just teaches us to work, work, work for labor instead of actually living. So don't procrastinate on your happiness. This your worth is not in labor. It's a luxury. Do what you want to do when you're happy. God, what is one time that made you realize that America really messed you up? So when we first got here, we had to go straight into quarantine. You know, two weeks, no big deal. We thought everything was taken care of. Well, we got a letter from the electric company while we were in quarantine. Couldn't understand it. It was all in German. We tried to translate it. Google translate wasn't really doing anything for us. We couldn't understand it. So we're like, we'll just go in person, you know, once the two weeks are over.  Like, why?  And we were like, yeah.   I've never been so embarrassed because we really were like, we'll pay anything. Like, please turn our power back on.  It's good to know. So why was your power off then? I can currently living abroad. What is one time that made you realize America is such a power off? You can have a brand new baby just, you know, just out the womb. You need to pump, you need electric now. They're cutting it off at the one month. Goodbye, say goodbye. Now, except in the quarantine and cold, they left everything off for like months and months and months. Guys, that America really messed you up. All right. So when I lived in France, I went to a cafe with my friend and outside the cafe, there were a whole bunch of baby strollers with human babies inside of the strollers. And I was super freaked out. Wait, what? I went to a cafe with my really messed you up. All right. So when I lived in France, I went to a cafe with my friend and outside the cafe, there were a whole bunch of baby strollers with human babies inside of the strollers. What's this cafe babies? I was super freaked out. And I asked my friend, why would anybody leave their babies outside unattended in their strollers? Aren't you afraid of something happening to them? And my friend looked at me and said, why would you assume that anything would happen to a baby? Who would be so horrible to do something to a baby? Yeah. I still don't know about that one. I don't know, man. You're right. But like, like the natural way of thinking this, why would anybody do anything to a baby? But like, you got here to thunder? I'm tired of this. I'm going to take a flight to say, look at this lightning almost. American currently living abroad. What is one time that need you realize that America really messed. So I don't currently live abroad, but I did live in Japan from September of 2019 to March of 2020. And the amount of things I realized while living abroad is astronomical. So I live in New York in this very state to state, but generally the average cost for an individual for health insurance is about $500. If you have a family, your family plan is going to cost you about $1,000 a month. In Japan, I paid $23, $23 a month for health insurance that covered everything. And don't even get me started on the American food industry because that's disgusting. Not only could I feed myself for two weeks on 50 bucks, but food regulations in Japan are so strict. I ate the exact same way I would in America and I still lost 40 pounds, 40 pounds. I mean, I didn't, you bought that. Oh man, that's, that's, that's why I knew that I shouldn't be this big. It's all the nap, the GMO, it's all the products that stuff. Oh man, I'm moving to Japan if that's what it's got to take. Yeah, give me, right. Give me all natural, you know, to eat all natural in America, not sing anything. I still, I like America, but to eat healthy in America costs more than to eat junk food. You get what I'm saying? So like a burger that made Donald's, a Big Mac can cost $5. I'm just putting prices. I don't know what the price is. The Big Mac can cost $5. A salad, a healthy salad, a healthy salad costs $11. To get apples or, or, or a fruit cup at Chick-fil-A instead of French fries is an extra 75 cents for the fruit cup for the more healthier options. You were greatly disappointed in due to poor product description or false advertising. I bought a banana duck. I got it off of Facebook Marketplace and these were the pictures. Oh, there's previous videos. I don't care what you bought. Okay. Anyway, till I leave a like, comment, subscribe, turn on your post notification bells, man, if you're new to the channel, because my title brought you here and it says American reaction, that's cool. Welcome, merch down in the description. I'm going.


I'm Salvatore Bobonis and today's lecture is the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. In December 2015, the great and good of the world met in Paris, France to draft a new framework for addressing global warming. They agreed to hold the increasing global average temperatures to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. To do this, each country will set its own non-binding greenhouse gas emissions target. As of May 2016, only a collection of small island states had bothered to ratify the agreement. The COP21 United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in Paris, France in November 30th through December 12th, 2015. The meetings a follow-up to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The COP COP refers to the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention, and the 21 refers to the fact that this is the 21st Conference of Parties to the Climate Change Framework Convention. In 1997, the parties to the Convention had agreed the Kyoto Protocol. The Convention itself was just an agreement to do something about climate change, much like the Vienna Convention had been an agreement to do something about the ozone hole. Just as in fighting the ozone hole, the Montreal Protocol was later established to implement the treaty. In the same way, the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 was there to implement the 1992 Convention on Climate Change. Unfortunately, the Kyoto Protocol only set targets for countries in monitoring, but with no real enforcement mechanism or funding. The Kyoto Protocol was extended in 2012 to extend commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through 2020, but once again, there are no penalties for countries that don't meet their commitments. Poor countries have no commitment at all except to do their best in a vague way, and there's no funding to help poor countries meet the goal of reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. The Paris Agreement, in theory, is intended to provide a continuing framework for extending targets beyond 2030, making the Kyoto Protocol in essence permanent, and not only permanent, but also more ambitious countries were expected to set much more ambitious greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement than they had set under the Kyoto Protocol. In other words, victory, mission accomplished, agreement declared, and everybody went home. The avowed goal of the Paris Agreement is to keep the increase in global average temperatures to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Now, levels of average temperatures have already risen 1°C above pre-industrial levels, so it's not clear how much below 2°C it's possible to keep the temperature increase when temperatures have already gone up by 1°C. Nonetheless, the countries of the world will supposedly meet this goal by first setting their own individual goals for greenhouse gas reductions. That is, there's no agreed global greenhouse gas reduction goal. Each country will simply set its own goal. And second, each country will monitor and enforce its own performance relative to its own goals. So there's no global enforcement. There's merely each country making itself meet its moral commitments made in Paris. Now, even these modest commitments only take effect if the agreement is ratified. It will enter into force when 55 countries that produce at least 55% of global emissions ratify it. That's only realistically possible if both the US and China ratify the agreement. The US and China together make up something like 40% of global emissions. Without the US and China, it would be almost impossible to have the agreement come into force. Both have pledged to ratify the agreement. Both have signed the agreement, but that doesn't mean that it will happen. The chance that the United States Congress will actually ratify the agreement, well, most servers would agree is close to zero, and it's likely that if the United States does not ratify the agreement, China will refuse to ratify an agreement that does not include the United States. But we'll have to see countries have until April 2017 to ratify. In theory, there might be a $100 billion annual fund to help poor countries adjust to climate change. This has been discussed and mooted, and the numbers have been put out in the media that poor countries would receive $100 billion a year in aid to adjust to lower greenhouse gas emissions. But there's no actual agreement to make any such massive transfers. The Paris Agreement does say that there will be a framework for transfers of funds to poor countries, but it doesn't specify any actual amount or any date by which an amount will be set. The widely accepted view is that the Paris Agreement simply will not reach its goals. The most widely cited estimate is that if countries do nothing about global warming, the increase in temperature by the end of this century will be 4.5 degrees Celsius. And as I repeatedly remind people, the world won't end in the year 2100 at the end of this century. So if global warming is 4.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century, it might be another 5 degrees Celsius by the year 2200, another 10 degrees Celsius by the year 2300. We really have no idea what happens if the earth continues to warm due to continued greenhouse gas emissions. Now, estimates are that if countries follow through on their current avowed policies, there will still be a 3.6 degrees Celsius rise in global warming. And again, the consensus view is that even if countries meet the pledges that they made in Paris, they still won't meet the Paris goal of keeping global warming quote-unquote well under 2 degrees Celsius. So most of the expert advice is that it's almost inconceivable that the world will avoid catastrophic runaway global warming. Of course, if one takes the view that the only real goal of the agreement was to have the agreement, mission accomplished. As the participants themselves said, quote, the Paris agreement confirms the irreversible transition to a low-carbon, safer, and healthier world. Would that that were the case? Thank you for listening. I'm Salvatore Bobonis. You can find out more about me at my website at SalvatoreBobonis.com, or you can also sign up for my monthly newsletter on global affairs.


Meantime, United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed that the British military jet had intercepted and downed drones launched by Iran overnight in Eater's Sault on Israel. Sunak urged restraint to prevent further escalation of the conflict, emphasizing the imparity for level-headedness. Meanwhile, the UK's Ministry of the Fence said they have moved several rural air force jets and air refueling tankers to the region to intercept any airborne attacks if required. Tonight, Iran launched a barrage of missiles and attack drones across the Middle East towards Israel. This was a dangerous and unnecessary escalation, which I've condemned in the strongest terms. Thanks to an international coordinated effort which the United Kingdom participated in, almost all of these missiles were intercepted, saving lives not just in Israel but in neighboring countries like Jordan as well. The RAF sent additional planes to the region as part of our existing operations to counter Daesh in Iraq and Syria. I can confirm that our planes did shoot down a number of Iranian attack drones and ought to pay tribute to the bravery and professionalism of our pilots flying into the face of danger to protect civilians. As I said yesterday, it's clear that Iran is determined to so discontent and desabilize the region its own backyard. That's very clear from its actions. If this attack had been successful, the fallout for regional stability would be hard to overstate. We stand by the security of Israel and the wider region, which is of course important for our security here at home too. What we now need is for calm heads to prevail. We'll be working with our allies to de-escalate the situation and I look forward to speaking to G7 leaders later this afternoon.


The mysteries of Islam fascinate us time and time again. This is no different from the life story of the Prophet. Who was Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam, an illiterate dozen merchant who one day stumbled upon amazing Arabic rhetoric, or was he the creation of Allah's greatest light? Sent down to earth to pull man out of ignorance and bring them to the purest of truths. I Ali Burji am on a journey to discover the real story behind the Prophet, the real story behind our religion, the roots, the beginning, the cradle of civilization. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. So, Doctor, we have a lot of people coming to the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi and offering for her hand in marriage. Now, the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam clearly stated that the marriage is only appointed by Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi himself and not by him. And Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi ordered Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi to give his daughter to Amirul Mu'mineen. Now, what we can touch on this is, if you can provide just a bit of details as to how it came forth, I understand you had a hadith you'd like to share. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. As we mentioned the previous episode on the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi when he received complaints from the people, from the men of Quraish, he said, I swear by Allah that I didn't reject you and marry her to Ali, but it was Allah who rejected you and it was Allah who married her to Ali. There's another hadith which is very interesting and really we need to sort of like reflect on it. Which gives a shed some light on the status of Fatima al-Zahra, alaihi salam. It's narrated from in Qafi volume 5 page 568.  So Fatima is an exception. Her marriage is as I received according to instructions from Allah, from the heavens. So this is quite significant. Because it once again shows the importance and the rank of these personalities that they're basically they're stressing out both the Holy Prophet and Allah to us, that they are not normal people like everyone else. Exactly, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi categorically stating that he can marry his other daughters which are step daughters and he can marry himself to marry any of the women in Quraish or in Muhajir-e-Nansar. But the issue of the marriage of Fatima al-Zahra alaihi salam is out of his hand. If you like he doesn't have willaya if you like that case. So this is something which is quite significant. That Allah has instructed the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi that you, I make the decision if you like about the marriage of Fatima al-Zahra alaihi salam. And this reflects the great status of Fatima al-Zahra, the like of which we have none before or after her. For any man or woman we don't have that Allah sallallahu alaihi salam says as far as marriage is concerned I am responsible or I make the decision for this individual. We don't have the except for Fatima al-Zahra alaihi salam. In another hadith says in the book Kashf al-Humma volume one page three six three that the noblemen of Quraish or the noblemen sought the hands of Fatima al-Zahra in marriage from the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi and his reply was if like her business is goes back to Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi we have to await his instruction we have to await the instruction of Allah sallallahu alaihi insha'a yuza wujjah zawjah whenever Allah wills he would marry her to her who would be the husband and so it shows that there were numerous attempts numerous occasions when people came forward not only if you like average people but according to this al-ashraf al-ashraf the noble people normal noble men came forward to ask for the hands of Fatima al-Zahra in marriage and his response was very clear so going back to this issue that Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi instructed the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi that he Allah will decide and the Prophet always said that I await instruction from Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi as far as marriages her marriage is considered which again that goes to show basically is to point to the status of Fatima al-Zahra al-Isra of course we have when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi married his daughters when they say his daughters they're not really his daughters Zainab and Rukaya if you like they were the nieces of Sayyid al-Hadija that is the daughters of Sayyid al-Hadija's sister and did Sayyid al-Hadija's sister pass away? pass away and they were taking care of them and then they were at least in the care of Sayyid al-Hadija and when she married the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alihi they were in the care of him and when he married them to different people he didn't say you know their business is in the hands of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alihi you only said that for Fatima al-Zahra al-Isra was just out the importance and the significance of this personality and one thing I wanted to discuss is regarding a very important misconception with regards to how old was Fatima al-Zahra when she got married to Amir al-Mu'mineen as you've mentioned unanimously we all agree that she was about nine years old now nine years old one automatically will think that when you say nine year old in the street that's a baby that's a child so realistically would not be a norm for a child to marry an adult then correct me if I'm wrong would would they practice this even in Ayam Jahiliya would they marry children to adults yeah well the question is was that the norm yeah at that time to marry children of that age or girls of that age we know that from the religious point of view it becomes permissible from that age if you like to for them to marry but in the case of Fatima al-Zahra let's be specific and as I showed you the hadith which I can read from Imam al-Sadiq alaihi salam is that when Fatima al-Zahra was born talking about the case of the birth of Fatima al-Zahra alaihi salam and it said that she would grow in a day like a child would grow in a month a normal child would grow in a month and Fatima al-Zahra would grow in a month like a normal child would grow in a year so if you like her physical apart from her maturity when she was nine her mental intellectual maturity her physical growth was something of the extraordinary and it wasn't a normal growth so it was like a supernatural so by the time she was nine years old she probably didn't look like a nine years old of course we have something similar in the case of Imam Zaman in case of Imam Mehdi when he was born his aunt say the Hakima she would report that he would grow this new born child he would grow in a day like a normal child would grow in a month or he would grow in a month like normal child would grow in a year so when he was if you like five years old at the time when they they killed his father Imam Hassan al-Askari in the year 260 as you mentioned earlier that they were looking for a small child but probably he had grown he he looked like far older than a five-year-old anyway in this case according to this Hadith from Imam Sadiq al-Salam which is narrated if I may I just look it up in here it's narrated on al-Mufadzal ibn Umar he asked about the the birth of Fatima al-Zahra it's a detailed Hadith I'm not going to go through it but it's very interesting but it would say that at the end of the Hadith that he would she would grow in a month she would grow in a month like a normal child would grow in a year and so if you like at least I can't tell you for sure that at that time it was the norm for nine-year-olds to marry but for Fatima al-Zahra she was definitely not a nine-year-old child she may have been nine years in age but she had the physique the body of a lady according to this yeah so she yes it probably whether it was a norm or not for other children we don't know but specifically as far as said the father was concerned she didn't look like a normal nine-year-old when she was nine years old and her growth was not a natural phenomenon if you like according to this which is very important to clarify so people can understand so when they hear regarding the marriage of Fatima al-Zahra they would not think that oh look for example if it's in the case of a non-muslim yeah that oh look they're promoting pedophilia oh look they're marrying adults to children you know barbaric things and whatever with regards to the marriage itself how did it come to be was was the holy prophet instructed by Allah and then the holy prophet went to Amir al-Mu'mineen or did Amir al-Mu'mineen alaihi salam come to the holy prophet yes the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala was instructed by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in fact according to one one narration Anas ibn Malik reports this and he says I was with the prophet because if you like Anas ibn Malik although um he was serving the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala and he said I realized that he went into a state which is the normal the state that he goes into when normally he receives wahi he receives revelation what state would that be would we know um a description maybe there's something physically would happen to the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala sometimes they say that you can see as if he's under um there's a weight on his body or sort of he as if he feints but he closes his eyes and he receives the instruction and um it says and then when he uh finished receiving the wahi um he said to Anas I don't know Anas I don't know do you know or Anas do you know what um jibreil has revealed to me from the owner of the arch that's from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he said no what is it and he said that Allah ordered me to marry Fatima ibn Ali Allah has instructed had just instructed me to marry Fatima ibn Ali and um there are narrations in one narration say that um um some people used to say amongst them of Bakr Omar used to say to Imam Ali you go and um um ask for Fatima's had in marriage we have asked on numerous occasions and we were rejected and he said that Imam Ali used to be shy so um after a lot of pressure from these people he went on another occasion his brother came and if you like he interceded sort of he came forward um but in any case the Imam went and asked at least he went and sat he the Prophet says he knew what he has come for okay and he asked Mazzara and they agreed in another occasion in another occasion when Imam Ali came immediately the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi said to him that I've been instructed to marry you uh to marry Fatima to you and um and the dowry for that will be 400 silver coins do you agree and Imam Ali sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said I do I agree so if you like that in both cases whether they are similar in one case Imam Ali went and sat there at the um encouragement of others to go and sit him whether he just went on his own and the Prophet informed Imam Ali alaihi sallam that he has been instructed by Allah swt to marry Fatima to him and we've got a lot of details I don't know how much time we have we probably don't have much time but we have there are a lot of details about um uh the um the act the when you're carrying out the marriage contract um and the walima if you like the banquet that they held um there is one hadith from Imam Ali sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that they held a banquet for or the walima for for marriage and um they invited all the people of madina and um Imam Ali says in that uh hadith that more than four thousand people attended uh this banquet so that goes to show that roughly the population of madina at that time was about four thousand people just over four thousand people okay and um the food which uh remained um the the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam divided up put it in in in uh large plates and distributed it amongst the people and was the setting up the preparation of the wedding was it um organized by the community or was it alone left by Amir al-Mu'minin to so it was by the Prophet and Amir al-Mu'minin so we feel like the the person who was managing managing it was the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam but for organizing for example food for the entire city yeah that would be quite yeah that will require a lot of resources and time yeah so when he came to the resources uh did Amir al-Mu'minin take care of that Amir al-Mu'minin along with all the people who would come and help obviously okay so it was a team effort basically the community helped all together well to set up the marriage rather than community they must have appointed or ask individuals to come and help you know rather than to go upended okay uh Imam Ali would go or the Prophet would go an appointment ask certain individuals uh that you should come and help with this prepare food preparation and so on which as I said for more than four thousand people the whole entire city if you like which is uh uh it's not an easy task definitely inshallah in the next session we can go into more details inshallah walhamdulillahi rabbil alamin wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Fatma al-Zara' al-Salam um it's superior to um if you like uh we have very had various hadith that superior to all men and women except the Prophet al-Mu'minin al-Salam um so not only say that Nisa al-Alamin but she has uh she has superiority over other all other men and men except with the exceptions of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam not only that in the case of marriage Fatma al-Zara' al-Mu'minin al-Salam they are the only couple in the history of mankind who are both ma'asum


Hello everyone! My name is Max, I'm from Russia and now I'm living and working in Shanghai. In this video, I want to say thanks to the International Tiffle Training Center that provided for me the ITTT 120-hour Tiffle Curse. The process of my education according to these curses was well-organized, interesting, even fun sometimes and not complicated at all. I learned basic tips about how to communicate with students, organize teaching process, prepare lesson plans and so on. Now I'm teaching English to young learners here in China and I think my Tiffle Certificate played its role when I was looking for this job. Thank you! Bye-bye!


Hi, my name is Ken Condon. I'm the host of a new show, Riding in the Zone. We're going to take you on a journey into the world of motorcycles. Everything from flat track and road racing to riding the open road. We'll introduce you to people and happenings in the motorcycle and community. We'll also give you insights on how to be the best rider you can be. Whether you love the speed and grace of the racetrack or the freedom of open spaces, Riding in the Zone will be a window into the wide world of motorcycle. Hey everybody, this is Ken Condon from Riding in the Zone. We have another great guest in the studio today. I want to introduce you to Paul Pelland. Hey Paul. How are you Ken? I'm doing pretty good. So you're here in the studio because you have a really unique involvement in motorcycling that I've been really impressed with and really kind of keeping up with. Can you just sort of give us right away what you do as a motorcyclist and how motorcycling really helps you to fulfill that goal that you're aiming for? Sure. Right now I am traveling the country as a patient advocate for people that have MS. I was diagnosed with MS 13 years ago and at the time I was a long distance rider. I had been competing in a lot of endurance competitions and things. And when I got diagnosed, I pictured myself in a wheelchair in a few years and so I sold my motorcycles. I quit riding. And went about seven years before I realized that I was doing pretty well. I went on medication for MS and doing pretty well. And I wanted to find something I could do to give back to the community. And I decided to start riding again and realized how much riding really kind of helped my disease state. How much I loved riding and how important it was to do things you love. So about six years ago or seven years ago I decided to document a million miles for MS. And so I traveled the country by motorcycle sharing my story to other patients and hopefully trying to convince them to find something in their life that makes them happy. You've heard of this as moto medicine, is that right? I do. I truly believe that every minute I'm on the bike, every mile that I spend doing what I love is putting my disease at bay. You know, riding a motorcycle to me is like breathing. I think I started riding motorcycles when I was 21. I had been on a few of my relatives dirt bikes years before, but it was...  I cleaned it all up, got it running and jumped on it and went off down the street. I was on the bug and within a year or so I bought another bike and another one. I believe that actually riding a motorcycle can actually do that for a lot of different conditions and health issues and I really think it can be part of people's therapy. And I suppose with other people they're not going to necessarily take up motorcycle and that's really not your point. When you go around the country and you're giving these talks they're really for not only MS people, I suppose maybe it is mostly for MS sufferers or loved ones, but you probably inspire them, I would imagine, to find whatever it is in their lives that really gives them their medicine. Sure, yeah. I make it clear I don't expect everyone to go out and buy a motorcycle. It'd be great, but no, it can be anything. It can be knitting. It can be flying kites. I'll never forget a woman in her probably late 70s in Brooklyn, New York stood up at one of my meetings and said, you're right, Sonny, you're right. She says, I used to play pool when I was younger.  So yeah, it's just find something in your life to make more important than your disease. Got it. So now tell us a little bit about your journeys that you've had. You've done, what, 300,000 of your million that's your goal? Yeah, I think I'm just about a third of a million, about 328,000 or 29,000 so far. I started off basically just riding to MS events around my house after work and things like that. Eventually I kind of talked my way into being one of the presenters at some of these events and being able to share my story. And that kind of snowballed into me traveling all over the United States. I started basically on a Yamaha Super 10 array and I rode the first one for 172,000 miles. Which ended up in the barber museum, right? It did. That's pretty impressive. It did. Yeah, I'm still kind of blown away with that. I had decided to try and do a fundraiser and set a world record with it. And the bike, you know, it finished. It had 170,000 miles on it when I started. But it finished, it set the world record and then the next day it decided it needed a nap. A little nap. So it was retired to barber and yeah, it's on display there exactly as I rode it.  So it is really cool. It was actually during an iron butt rally that I had my first attack. I didn't know it at the time. My hands had gone numb, tingling. I had bouts of confusion, lots of memory issues. And it was shortly after that event that I was diagnosed with MS. I sold my motorcycles. I bought a convertible. I had MS. I was diagnosed with a disease that would put me in a wheelchair in five years, I thought. Slowly I started to miss motorcycles and I started to miss riding. And I drove to Daytona and back to New Hampshire in three days. And that's when I realized that I could still ride. I could still do the long distance and how much I loved it. How much I felt better after getting off that bike. I tried to figure out what I could do to help others with MS. How could I use what I know? How can I, what's my story? How do I fit in? How can I give back? And it dawned on me that I was sitting on it. The ENSA was a motorcycle. And that's when I decided that I would document a million miles for MS. The bike being here tells the story that I'm trying to tell across the country and about MS and about people with challenges in life and about disability and about still being able to enjoy life and still being able to do things you want to do. I think that's, I think that bike tells that story.  It's been, you know, it's sort of been a staple of Yamaha for a little while. It's a really pretty versatile machine. It is. And, you know, when I first started this million mile thing I thought write a letter to the different manufacturers and they'd be throwing motorcycles at me. Well, it doesn't work that way. Eventually I realized I wasn't going to get any factory support. So I decided to buy a motorcycle. I thought that would need any factory support. And the Yamaha was a, you know, it had reputation of being pretty bulletproof. So to me that's important. I don't tend to do the right maintenance when I'm supposed to.  So I don't always have time to do the maintenance when it's supposed to be. So I was looking for something that I could really, you know, beat the snot out of. You kind of did. And then so replacing it made some sense. Did Yamaha help you with the second time? The second bike they did help me out. I got it as a three-year leftover. So they gave me a really good deal on it. And I outfitted it pretty much exactly the same way as the first bike. For me it made a lot of sense because with my cognitive issues from the MS I knew the first bike inside and out. So getting the second bike and everything is the same on it made it easier for me to work on it and to add all my accessories and electronics and things and remember where they are. The orientation was, and it was really outfitted. I saw it at the New York show, the motorcycle show. And you've got extra fuel. You've got all the electronics that help you kind of keep in touch with where you are. Do you have weather information? Well, I use my phone. I have apps. I have a big iPhone, the bigger ones. And I'm able to call up different weather apps so I'm able to see what's going on. Which is important for you because you're riding, you're around. I mean this is craziness. When I saw that you ride from New Hampshire where you live, wherever you're going, usually south in the wintertime, but you're riding through sometimes the beginnings of snowstorms. Yeah, I've gotten caught in a few storms. There have been times I haven't been able to make it home or I've had to get a hotel even 100 miles from my house because it was a foot of snow. Yeah, it's important and keeping track of the weather and traffic too. I travel across the country quite a bit and I'm kind of not dilly-dallying. I'm pretty much point A to point B. I've got to do a talk in California.  And of course being on the road is expensive also. I'd love to spend 20 days going across the country and back, but the reality is I don't have the funds to do that or the time. I want to talk about funding, what you're doing for sure, but since we're on the topic of motorcycles, now you've got the touring version, the Yamaha Star, right? So that's a completely different machine. I imagine it suits you pretty well for the long-haul, but long-haul hauls, right? Tell us about that. Well, so Yamaha has been kind of following me. I put just under 300,000 miles on the two tenorays. So they saw that I was kind of getting a lot of people following me and asking me my advice and things. We had been watching and I knew that they were bringing out a new long-distance luxury touring bike. And the night that they introduced it, they called it a transcontinental luxury touring motorcycle, the new Star Venture. And I actually texted to a couple of the guys at Yamaha and I said, transcontinental touring bike. I said, I think I might be the right person to put on that bike. What do you say you loan me one for a year? I'll put 100,000 miles on it. And they actually were pretty keen to the idea and it took a little while, but in June they actually donated one to my million-mile journey. That's really awesome. So I mean, I think for Yamaha and a lot of manufacturers like that, the PR that they get from getting somebody like you involved, it's priceless stuff and sometimes it gets missed that they can really get a lot of bang for their donation. Yeah, and if you read the stuff that I wrote about when I was riding the 10-rays, I talked about what things happened or whatever or a lot of things happened in 300,000 miles. And so I'm pretty honest. I'm a fairly honest guy. I tell it like it is. I like to add some humor into my stories and I think that Yamaha could see that it's a raw story and what happens with me and the bike is going to be good PR for anybody that's on board with me. So let's talk a little bit more about your goal, your journey. The million-mile thing, that came from a store, actually from something you heard that really triggered that idea of million miles. It does.  And I was at one of these events and somebody in the audience had asked the doctor, you know, when's the cure? When's the cure? And the doctor said, well, to be honest with you, I think a cure for MS is a million miles away. And I didn't think much of it at the moment, but later on I said, well, a million miles. You know, that's far, but I know people that have ridden a million miles and documented it, and that was kind of the beginning of thinking about how I could give back to the community. Originally, I was going to try to do 100,000 miles in 100 days to ride 100,000 miles, 1,000 miles every day for 100 days. And I was explaining this to somebody and they said, Paul, that's awesome, but what are you going to do next year? And I just said, wow, that's, you know, I do want to make this a longer term commitment to MS community. And that's when I put everything together and said, you know what, I'm going to start from zero and I'm going to document a million miles traveling to MS events. And so then when you're at these MS events, you become a pretty, you speak. I mean, that's really one of your things. It's inspiration to try to get people to look beyond their disease. I do. I've actually done over 250 patient events all across the United States. As far as Alaska, as far as, you know, I travel to California five, six times a year. I've never flown, I'm always on my bike.  No car, yeah. That's commitment. Yeah, it's important to me that I'm living my story.  And so it's important for me to ride to all these events. Last year, I spent 160 nights on the road. I rode 80,000 miles last year. You must have a really supportive wife. I mean, because I know you're married. I do. My wife is, she's an angel. I mean, this is, you know, this was not part of the deal when we got married. This was some crazy idea. I concocted and we had no idea where it would go. You know, it's been financially, it's been a burden. I was traveling so much, I tried to work part-time and then just about two years ago is when I realized that if I'm going to do this, I have to do it full-time. So I've really been on the road the past two years full-time and it doesn't, it doesn't quite pay the bills. So that's another thing, the funding this. So I want to make sure that we get that information out there. You have the MS 5000. Sure. That's every April? Usually, it's actually, this year I changed it and it's actually running right now. The MS 5000 is something I started and basically it's the MS Walk for bikers because we're bikers, not hikers. But it runs 50 days and riders sign up and what they do is they try to document riding as many miles as they can over the 50 days while collecting donations from their family and friends. And over the past five years, the MS 5000 has raised over $110,000 for MS and each year it's kind of growing and 100% of the donations always go to a charity. I've never wanted other riders to donate to me.   So I've never asked for money from me. It's always been, any donations I collect always go towards a charity. I believe that what I do between my speaking and I do keynote also addresses for different even motorcycle events, seminars. I write, I'm starting to do more YouTube and stuff like that. And I believe that that stuff can be supported by sponsors and advertising and stuff like that. I think that that's where, and speaking fees, where I can earn enough income to continue. You do have the website is Long Hall, Paul. LonghallPaul.com. Also Facebook, YouTube, Twitter. Pretty much Long Hall, Paul. One word, no spaces. Otherwise you get a country western singer. Long Hall, Paul. We should probably get together. But no spaces. Long Hall, Paul, you'd be able to locate me and you can sign up for my blog. Subscribe to my YouTube channel. And actually subscribing also to your website gets people to follow you, follow along with you on your trips, right? Sure. I have live tracking even on my website. People can go and see them right here in the studio. It helps my wife too to be able to know where I am. Sometimes I'm 18, 20 hour days on the bike and it's not always self-service. So the tracking is nice, but people, yeah, they can find me. And I believe starting next year I'll be traveling to a lot of different Yamaha dealers and that'll all be posted where people can meet up with me and learn about my journey, my thoughts on the new bike. I've only got 14,000 miles on it in the past couple months. So I'll have 50,000, 60,000 miles by beginning the next summer. So it's a way that people can meet up with me and learn about what I'm doing and become part of my journey. That's awesome. What else would you want to share? These are motorcyclists in our audience and non-motorcyclists. Hopefully, you know, somebody might be family of motorcyclists and we have no idea who we're going to stumble across our show here. What would you want to share with them? Well, first of all, motorcycling can be fun, exciting. I think, you know, for me it's been, motorcycling has been therapy through different parts of my life, going through a bad marriage, bad divorce. Motorcycling was actually what I used then to get me through that and then with the diagnosis of MS, which, you know, I'm doing great. I'm on medication. I look pretty good. Most of my symptoms are hidden. And one of the things I want to make clear that not everybody who has MS is like that. There are a lot of people that are definitely suffering every day with symptoms, numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, inability to walk, blindness, bowel and bladder issues. There's a lot of symptoms that people with MS have that we're all different. Every one of us is different. So just because I look pretty good today doesn't mean this is the common face of MS. It's gotten better over the years with the medications, but there are still people who medications don't work or were diagnosed earlier before the medications that really have progressed, you know, to the point of really not being able to do a lot of functions, everyday functions. So, you know, we definitely still want to cure and I just think that it's important to note that everybody with MS is different and that's why I'm fighting. I'm fighting for the people who can't ride, who want to ride. I get a lot of people contact me who used to ride and now they have balance issues and things and I try to, you know, figure out what they can do and there are a lot of options out there for three-wheelers and different things now today that's more and more. So it doesn't always mean you have to give up what you love and also for people who have MS in other groups, you know, if somebody's a ballerina and they get MS and they can't walk anymore, it doesn't mean that they have to, maybe they can't be a ballerina anymore, but they might be able to help teach in a school or be a mentor or something. They can still be involved in what they love to do. With me, I used to compete in endurance competitions. Well, my memory is so bad, I can't do that anymore. I cannot run a long distance of rally anymore, but I can still ride. And so that's part of my message, too, is that find some way to get involved in what you love. Don't give it up for good, you know, find a way to get involved. Yeah, that's awesome. The thing about that you talk about, I'm a safety and skills guy and you just mentioned something about limits and we all have limits, not recognizing them, but not letting them hold you back and not letting them stop you from what you can do. And that's a big message that I try to also, you know, share. Right. When you talk about the sort of ability for others that have more limitations than you do, we do have, you know, this K&M Spider sort of solution now. Also, speaking of Yamaha, they've got the three-wheel thing, the Nikon or Nikon or whatever it is. Nikon. Nikon. Yeah, the thing with the Nikon though, it actually doesn't balance on its own. It doesn't lock. You don't put a lock on it. No, it's really more geared towards high-speed riding and being able to push your limits in the corners. But it will fall over if you, yeah. I remember they had some, there was a little older where you actually, when you came to stop, it locked so that you could put your... I think there's an Italian Aprilia makes the MP3 and I think that one has kind of a lock in the middle. Yeah, the Nikon is really built and I was confused too and I get excited about this stuff because I know people who are looking for that type of thing. And they said, no, this was really built as a high performance, being able to push yourself into the corners and things like that. It might be a great bike for training for the track. There's a student of mine, street student of mine, that sold his, what do you have? I forget, I was an adventure bike and then he bought one. And so he's like all excited about it. He's asking me, what do I think about it? And I said, I don't really know. I'm really bringing it down. I want to ride. Yeah, I haven't ridden one either. Well, that's awesome. So again, I wonder if we're going to wrap this up a little bit. And I just want to point out everybody to go to longhaulpaul.com. Paul's got all sorts of information. He's got videos. If you want to donate, please do. There's an option to donate to the MS5000. You go there, you can select one of the many, how many riders are involved this year? There's my memory. I think it's like around 60. So it's quite a few. There's a list there. You can actually donate to a particular rider who I know a few of the people on that list. So there are a lot of options there. But I also recommend that you subscribe to Paul's channel, his YouTube channel and really kind of keep up on this. Because this is as far as a motorcyclist, if that's what you are, this is something that really brings motorcycling into it a whole other realm of how it can be this motor medicine. And I think a lot of us relate to that. You know, when we're in that funk or whatever, we get on a bike as long as it's not a distracting funk. And we can go out there and really it kind of can be a therapy, right? It is. I mean, even with the new bike, I've got five different sources of music and everything I could possibly want is on there.   I said, no, I actually don't. What do you listen to? I'm not sure. My, you know, I feel like I'm in sort of a zone. I'm in a mindfulness state. And I'm able to kind of relax.  And I'm not thinking about work. I'm not thinking about home. I'm not thinking about family, friends, enemies, nothing. I'm just riding and being in the wind. And having just the then and now. And that's exactly how I feel about it. Riding in the zone was based on that idea. I often don't say I'm my best self on a motorcycle because it does put you in that sort of meditative space. All right. I want to really thank Paul for coming today and sharing his message. And again, I really encourage you to go ahead and go to longhaulpaul.com and check out what Paul's doing. It's quite fascinating. Thanks a lot for coming. All right. Have a great day, Paul. Enjoy it.

So anyway, just a quick session to wrap up the day. Thanks everybody for coming. We had just a great turnout of people. I just wanted to share. We had... Let me refresh the page. We had 205 registrants and we've had 145 people actually here during the event, which is awesome. So thanks everybody for coming. I hope that everything was informational for you, but I got a sense that maybe we didn't have enough time. Who would have wanted longer sessions? And just respond in the chat. We could keep talking, but it did seem like some things could have gone a bit longer. Yeah. So my one thing was I wanted it to be a party, right? I wanted it to be a celebration and I didn't want us to have to sit through yet another couple days of presentations. So I guess what I'm thinking is I'll hang out in the hallway tracks after this. We could chat some, hang out. I'm ready to do that for like a half an hour or 45, whatever, just hang out for a bit and... Yeah, the hallway track was lonely. We were at the Halloween party, Neil. But what could we do to make it? You know, still a short experience, but like if people have questions or I don't know, small suggestions. Yeah. So what I did at Fedora Women's Day actually was I gave people about 15, 10 minutes and then I just gave it, no, what it was, what I said, do a 20 to 30 minute presentation, but then I gave the rest of the hour open. Matthew, do you think that was a bet? We should have done that format with this one. That worked pretty well. But... And it also means it's a lot of downtime. Like I was doing other things during that other time because it kind of invites that rather than... Okay, so 15 minutes with a 30 minute area. So it doesn't have to go that whole time because I didn't want it to be too like bulky, you know? Yeah. I think having... Go ahead, Matthew. I think... Maybe focusing more on the celebrate. I think we did this pretty well, but like celebrating the achievements of the release talks doesn't necessarily need to be a long technical talk. But everyone wants to hear more about it. I've seen all these questions. You know, everyone wants to know. So we have that. Oh, you have to be sorry. We have that urge. It's good. So yeah, maybe there's some way to continue the discussions like somewhere else or something. You know what? This is actually such a great setup for our social hour. Even though we try not to talk too much about work there, it happens a lot. So just to let you know, everyone who's watching, we do a social hour every week. So we do the times different so that we can have different time zones show up and whatnot. So it's like me and Matthew and Neil and JT, a couple other people we've shown up and we have a few stop-bys as well. So yeah, there's a place to hang out and chat about these things. But it is cool to have everyone here all at once. So anyway, just a couple thoughts I had. Anything you guys want to say? Happy Fedora, everybody. Happy Fedora 33. Yeah. Yep, tomorrow. I should talk about tomorrow. It's a good idea. We're doing a fun event and then we're going to do lightning talks and then there's Pictionary. We just hang out. So the event sign up is a wiki page that I'm going to drop for you guys right now. But really what it comes down to is I just need your email and I can forward you an invitation. It starts tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern time. And oh gosh, let's look at this calendar. I'm the worst at this. Someone's going to say it for me, please. Nope, no one wants to. All right. So anyway, it's going to be tomorrow and then we're going to do lightning talks. People haven't really signed up for the lightning talks. So please do so. I feel like it's a last minute activity to begin with. So I hope some people sign up. We don't have that many people right now. Beyond that, that's it. Looking forward to it. All right, my friends, I am going to go into the hallway and see you guys there. See you there.


What is up guys, Karma Medic here, and welcome back to another dose. Welcome back to another long study with me video to absolutely no one's surprise. I'm still here studying for exams in medical school. Today, I'm studying for the final oski exam of my time in medical school. So, pretty big and important exam. Luckily for me, I've got my coffee.  I'm gonna take my phone and throw that away on my bed. So, I'm not time to check it.  There's already 13 of you here studying, which is pretty mad in itself. If you guys wanna be part of the Karma Club, which is this Discord server that includes a study group where people from all over the world get together, study motivate each other and everything like that, then you can check out the links to my Patreon in the description down below. But without further ado, I'm just gonna say a quick hi to you guys, set up my stuff and get to work. I think that brings us to the end of this study with me. That was long. I feel like my ability to study for long periods of time has slowly diminished over my nine years of university education. I cannot wait to be done with this exam and just move on with my life and start working like a normal human being. This is my current schedule. This is where we are in our studying. Now I'm gonna cross off Wednesday the 16th of March. Whoa, and all right, I guess that is it. If you enjoyed this video, please do leave a like on it. If you want to join the Karma Club and study with all these beautiful and amazing people with me the whole time, definitely keeping me accountable and motivated, feel free to check out the link to my Patreon in the description down below or here somewhere on screen, somewhere over here. And yeah, I'll catch you guys in the next one. Thank you so much for watching. Bye, goodnight, peace.


The local San Francisco papers are investing a lot of money to try and get the service just like that started. Science editor Steve Newman reports on one person already using the brand new system.


Should I move back to Asia because I'm not fitting in here in America. That was just posted on Reddit. There's a whole discussion Let's talk about what this person could or could not do You know, this is a good question because Asia is always getting better, but America is still a better environment for getting cheddar We got to talk about it this reddit girl. She's 17 years old. She was born in America Raised in local school in China came back for high school Her parents moved back to China just left her in America in Massachusetts and she's like dude I'm in high school right now. I do not have a single friend. I don't fit in here. What is going on reddit? I need some advice. So make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications But you know one thing Andrew that has peppers from China but came over to America is smile Ah, you can get a smile. I saw us calm from Sichuan to Sicily currently sold out But check back in soon. She's in a tough situation and her parents are not here She was raised in local school in China not international school that is gonna make it difficult And she said she has a introverted personality and she's very tall. Yeah now how tall is she? Is she Zhang Ziyu from Shandong the 7-5 basketball player that's about to be on the national team I don't know but I mean she's in a tough situation. That's why she's going to the internet for help Yeah, so she goes to an international high school right now is what she says so I don't know if that's a private high school I'm not I'm assuming it's not a public high school But I guess for me first off if the OP is watching this video you have to consider that if you even have the Option of moving back to Asia for a possibly good life. You are in a good situation This is not even the worst situation You could possibly be in because a lot of people have no option to move outside of their home You're saying she possesses something. That's very rare, which is optional. Yeah I'm not saying her family situation is easy because she's apart from her parents and they dropped her off in America But clearly there's some means money in that family a little bit to have her going to school in America Now my initial thought was this I think a lot of this is a identity Issue and a social issue and a personality issue. This is not quite a financial issue I think she's gonna have great opportunities in America if she gets educated here goes to a college out here She did state that she's not a four die. She's not super rich. She's not super rich I'm not saying she's super rich, but she's not poor obviously, you know what I mean Our also parents wouldn't drop her off in America if she was poor. Is that what poor Chinese people do? It's just not a poor situation. It's not a super poor situation to be in yeah Maybe she's not balling out of control, but I'm saying it's not a terrible situation because she even has options That means clearly if she's even thinking about moving back that means she has some opportunities out there Maybe by way of her parents or some connections I think the easy answer is you're in high school stay in America Go to college get at least three to five years of working experience try hard and college try to get a good job That's gonna give you maximum Optionality at another plateau point where you could go back as an expat to China, right? If you feel more socially comfortable within that environment here's So long short answer is stay in America figure it out make some friends be more extroverted or whatever But the complex answer is how old are you what's actually making you uncomfortable? Is it how like everybody's super extroverted in America and you want to be more introverted? It doesn't necessarily mean moving back to China. You're suddenly gonna become extroverted It just may mean up. They're more okay with introverted people because the culture altogether is more introverted Right, so that's more like normalized, right? What are your connections? What are your opportunity skill sets? What is your mindset? You know if you like to stay at home and play video games you might as well just yeah You could just do it back there if you do it around your parents or here I guess it doesn't really matter because you're just gonna stay at home But I guess if you are in the two twenty percent of people I think eighty percent of people Andrew their personality is gonna maintain whether they're in America or whether they're back East however, I believe there is twenty percent of people where they are Dormant when they're in an uncomfortable environment and they need to be in the proper environment to be unleashed and become Activated there there is a portion of people that fit that description. Yeah, and if you do then by all means Go to whatever environment unleashes you right again I mean again the fact that she even has this option is not a terrible situation I understand that you feel out of place. You probably haven't met the right friend group So you're gonna have to seek out different friends and you probably want to pick a college that has a significant Asian population If you're in Massachusetts right now, you can go to any school in Boston New York, I mean a lot of colleges have a good amount of Asians West Coast to that's closer to Asia Right, I guess Seattle SF Houston LA would be your options Yeah, I would say that those would pretty much be it Um, I will say this man. Yeah, like I said some people they turn from slacker to go getter It's rare though. Most people are gonna be slackers slackers here if they're go-getters here They'll probably be go-getters anywhere. I'll say this though. I am glad that I didn't grow up with social media I think when you're a kid nowadays, you see other kids that are thriving and Flourishing to a 12 out of 10 level and whatever environment they're in it starts to make you question your own situation If you're not thriving David, are you trying to pose the theory that social media has something to do with depression? I'm shocked. Right. This is a brand-new theory And I'm definitely true and I think that uh Reddit is a is a good place to get some conversations in but at the end of the day It's better to get around people who attack a lot of things in real life Yeah, cuz I think a lot of people on Reddit to be honest are more computer-based people are more dormant Listen pleasant salad 705 OP if you're watching this video I hope hopefully you feel like that we're talking to you because literally we are talking to you This is like our comment section. This is like the comment. I would leave Sort of um, there was a lot of comments saying you're just in high school. You don't know It's a big world out there.  I'll tell you this at my actual high school I had a very very small tribe at other high schools. I had even more friends So I will say at my particular high school growing up My tribe was not even that big and I was a very active social guy And I was actually fairly popular in a way, but not feeling like I had a tribe there so what I want to say is that a Lot of people are feeling this what she's feeling is not new Literally it is that teenage angst. She's going through it She's you know feels however. She does about it social media is contributing to it She she does look at her family Maybe she's looking at pictures of her mom and dad in China live in a great life and she's like that doesn't look too bad It all depends on what you want to do Yeah, if you want to go do something super free and like you know Unconventional America is a great place for that Obviously if you could pick up your parents business or whatever we go back to China Yeah, I mean it depends because if you go back and you want to work like a local person That's probably not gonna be as good as Working on American salary and get an American job over here Somebody said please try to find some entertaining TV media or like internet role models that might inspire you To become a more even proactive and engaging person. This is huge. You got to find the role models Yeah, somehow whether I don't care whether you find it through tick-tock or you find it through Movies or whatever. I mean, you know, there's like a billion options nowadays Somebody said, you know, I'm always happy or when I'm in Asia in terms of socialization food and entertainment and activities But at the end of the day, I'm not skilled enough to get one of those extra high-paid expat jobs Because it is true if you don't want to teach English overseas Andrew You got to become like a at least like a upper-middle tier in a company to get the expat Package I got a middle solution for this lady. I don't know if it's a lady or a guy But whoever feels more happier or in an Asian environment, but can't work there Then move to just an Asian suburb in America. Yeah, or work out of Asian company There's more and more Asian companies that are opening up either Their main headquarters in America or a satellite if you like being in Asia, but you can't get that super high level High-paid expat job in Asia then just move to the second best thing Which is an Asian ass suburb in America, San Gabriel Valley parts of Queens yada yada yada And guess what Andrew America's becoming more Asian statistically year-in year out. Yep. Yep. Yep Somebody said I'm thinking about retiring at least 50% of the time in Southeast Asia soon Listen guys Asia got a lot better, especially Southeast Asia Everybody was talking about age statistics Andrew Southeast Asia is super coming up right now a ton of youth and the economies boom in The wars, you know the ex colonies have Stabilized there was internal wars. There was a lot of difficulty separating itself from the colonial powers But it looks like it's all happening now for the most part man. It's looking fun Yeah, it looks fun. Do it looks up here. Yes My friends that are in Vietnam and in Bangkok right now or just anywhere in Thailand Bali, Indonesia They have it more fun than me. It looks lit This guy said I hope to make the US better for people like you it is difficult though depending on the state I always tell people this man, and I always stress this in all the videos Andrew America is very fishbowl dependent. What fishbowl Do you live in? Like, you know people are like, oh America's this way that way? I'm like two fish bowls like if you're just two fish bowls away from somebody else You could be living in a completely different reality in 2024. Right, right, right. Um, ultimately my recommendations are this is a tall girl I say stick it out. Hmm. Just stick it out, man But you just got to analyze things mathematically like you said the hormones the emotions whatever things are surging You know what I ask her this and this is a challenge to the OP pleasant salad Did you give America a good shot yet? This is a great land. It's a great city despite all the struggles I know you get it.  Have you given America a shot yet? You're still really young and I think that's what the general narrative of the comments is Not everybody gets a ticket to America. You're in America. You do have a ticket way back home if you want to But try America first, right now now maybe your personality or your identity. You just can't take it That's understandable. That's gonna happen, but you got the option.  And it is like especially like why I think for boys and girls, but maybe girls even more it can be very emotional So just remember that Everybody's going through it, but don't just base your entire life just based off three years of high school and be like Well, I didn't make a lot of friends in high school a lot of people don't have friends in high school Go to college if you can't make friends in college Then there's an issue join a gamer club get out there put yourself in uncomfortable situations But obviously, you know, don't you know if you put yourself in too uncomfortable a situation the probability of success And that's rep is not going to be high.
