Now, before we start for our first operating comment video, which is from SES in Indonesia, the video actually we're talking about securing mental health and well-being in Indonesia. In these sessions, we will learn more about the mental health throughout an event that is moderated by Pusbita Almi. Pusbita is one of SES and youth Indonesia members and also one of the alumni of the University of the University for Rooms. And in these sessions, we will talk about the importance of happiness, mental health and also well-being. And as a quick technology reminder, if you have joined us through your telephone, you will be not able to hear the song. If you are using your computer and you cannot see the video, make sure you check if the viewers is behind the other window on your screens. So enjoy the video. Now, to help the victims of violence, KDRT, bullying in school and violence in various places in our system. Every day, we meet different clients. And there is one thing that we meet there. It turns out that many of them don't know if they have a problem. They don't know if they have a sad emotion. They don't know if, for example, the difference between being sad and being like a mother. There are many clients that come with questions like that.  There we meet, we see how if they have been given education. We think, if they are sad, what should we do? If they are stressed about how to get out. So, sad is a way to promote and prevent violence. So, we don't just talk about it, but we talk more about what we can get if we are sad. So, if you are thinking that the health of the soul is two things. Two groups of people are sad, not sad. That is so wrong. Because the health of the soul is very dynamic. So, the spirit of the soul is that we want people to find the value of themselves. Find them back if they are happy. And find that if I can take care of my soul health, what can I get? How will my productivity be? Introduce my name is Nuri Santia Malia. I am usually called Santi. I am one of the co-founders of SehatGiwa.id. Before I introduce the great speakers tonight, I would like to tell you all. The majority of people here are young people. Have you ever felt that the poverty is getting worse? Especially the pressure that is on our side. It seems that the more we suffer, the more we have positive things. The other thing that we can do from ourselves to the end, we can contribute to our community, to Indonesia, the present, the future, and also the happiness. But do you know that the data shows that there are still many problems about the health of the soul in Indonesia and also in America? Imagine that one out of ten people has a health problem. The data shows that the poverty is getting worse, then depression, then the problems are getting worse. In America, it turns out that one out of five people in America also suffer from health problems. And still, like in Indonesia, the majority of people suffer from poverty. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for being here. Last night, I was still excited to help all of us here and share what the health of the soul is to all of you here. First, I would like to ask the audience from Mr. Dian, from Dr. Lina and also from Mr. Alfonz. At the moment, what is being raised by the WHO is about suicide prevention. What are your views on the death of young people in Indonesia? Okay, maybe from my point of view, the death rate in RMAJ is quite high. But the death rate is related to awareness that has increased quite a bit in the community. So, there is also a positive side. And maybe earlier I corrected it again. Actually, from the results of the Pat's Law and the Pink Pit, in Indonesia, 1 to 5 people suffer from health problems like that. Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Alfonz. From Dr. Lina, what are your views on the death rate? We know that the death rate in RMAJ and RMAJ is quite high. But we also don't know the actual death rate in Indonesia. And the death rate in Indonesia is quite high. What we are telling is that young people, in various modes, for example, they often hang themselves, and if they are still hanging themselves, then there are also various multi-factor factors that can cause a person to commit suicide. So, not just one person, it can be sad.  There are other factors that can cause a person to commit suicide. For example, there is non-punishment, there is no crime for help, there is no one who helps. There was support, Moderato also talked about it. Now, if I can, so let's do it together. We can do it together. We can help each other, empathize with friends around us, with the family, to realize that, I think I'm starting to get depressed. But don't try to diagnose yourself. Because there are certain criteria to determine that. So, let's start with being able to detect this. Then, take care of your health. And don't forget, rather than trying, it's better if we can do it together with your heart. That's right. With what the health team has done, to help the children to become a consoler for their friends. Yes. From your experience, from your experience, as a 16-year clinical psychologist, how do you feel about it? Actually, being a psychologist is not a confusion, but it is a gap from a confusion called depression. And the good news, actually, is that every depression can be very high. With therapy, with psychiatry, it can be very high.  There are changes in your behavior, there are changes in mood. So, slowly, it changes until you don't feel the pain anymore.  If you heal, you can still breathe. But if you're already feeling the pain, you don't feel the pain.  Well, for example, if you kill yourself, well, it won't come back. Moreover, if you realize there are changes in your thinking, there are changes in your behavior, there are changes in your mood, if you realize, if you need help, it can be very helpful. Even if, even if you're already diagnosed with depression, it can also be treated. That's exactly what my mother said, that you really have to find help. You have to realize that we have changes that slowly change our condition, so it's not like usually, if you like doing something, suddenly you don't like it. Usually, you like talking, you like meeting friends, suddenly you don't like it, there are changes in your behavior. Well, if we're aware, we realize, we can ask for help. Okay, so friends, so depression is really something to be proud of. To be proud of when we feel sad. Well, it's also directed by thinking about suicide. That means, when we feel, wow, it seems it's very disturbing, then we have to find help to professional. That's right. Can people not get physical pain? Can people not get physical pain? Can people not get flu? Can people not get flu? Can people not get pain here? Can pain be here? Can it be here? Can pain be in the mirror? Can pain in the mirror? It can really be up to the oike if we can get physical pain in some psychological areas, in the mirror, surprise, feeling Now all the development of information technology all move fast. Let's try this, have you ever accepted the work of work at entertainers at ten p.m.? At 11 p.m.? At 3 p.m.? Crazy, that's because all of us are fast. We have to respond. The pressure is on the productive age. So, it becomes faster, especially on the productive age. What are your thoughts? Why do you think you need help? It doesn't feel bad. It's not easy. It's very visible. Because the foundation of a self-employed person has been bought by a multi-factor. So, there is a biological factor. For example, a person who has an enzyme in his head is a neurotransmitter. This neurotransmitter works to solve problems that we face. People talk about what their perception is like. Then, life pressure. Sometimes, it's not balanced. If it's not balanced, it can cause a problem. For example, depression, anger. That's what we have to think about. So, it's not about the situation. Secondly, it's a psychological factor. How can a child's behavior be compared to a child's behavior? For example, a child is always used to having a happy life. It's just a little bit of education. So, there is no need to hold on to it. Hold on to it and relax it. Then, there is also a disability. Because of the mother, many of her family's children are not taken care of. They are not loved. And it's also a psychological factor. And there are many other factors. Then, social factors. For example, there is a lack of socialization. Now, there are a lot of bugs. In the past, when I was little, there was a person named Khaled. He was a child. Khaled, Galasin, Tak Umpot, Klereng. Terse Pakala. Jambok, Jambok. Tak Umpot. Now, no. So, the world's age has changed. So, there is a lot of isolation. So, there is a lack of friendship. Friendship is an immunization. Like, if we are vaccinated with BCG. With us socializing with other people, we will face various characters. Right? That is our goal. How we can improve our social competence in facing various people. If we are just friends with that idea, we play in a comfortable area. So, we are all friends. But we choose which one is suitable for us. And we should be able to adapt to various types of things. That is an immunization for our mental health. By the way, Asu, who has been given it since childhood. The sign of it is that this person is crying for help. He has felt... Don't play with your friends. Listen to them. If it's like this, I have... Then, what should I do? I just kill myself. Then, friends say, Oh, you are so nice. Don't touch it. Sometimes, a saying like that is a sign. That a person crying for help is serious. So, we have to take care of it. Empathy. Empathy, we can feel what it feels like. Emotional changes and events should be taken care of. So, it's not a disaster, it's a disaster. It's an experience of chronic illness that has been terminated. Then, parents who are alone at home, no one is there. No one supports them. The economic factor is so terrible. No one supports them. It's also a sign for a person to commit suicide. Jambadian from the psychologist. Ibu from the psychiatrist. And Mas Alphonse from the community. What can be done to prevent these things? So, it's like killing yourself, increasing the number. Then, the health of the body is also increasing. What can we do to prevent these things? Maybe, actually, this kind of mental health issue is important to be discussed. Then, actually, maybe almost at all levels, we should be aware of the stigma. Because of the stigma of discrimination, of making people laugh out. If people are unique, they are bullied or bullied. So, if people want to change, we should be aware of it first. We need to develop our awareness. Then, I think, as you said, we should be aware of the stigma. For me, the brother who is now fighting suicide is sometimes a myth. For example, if he talks about killing himself, it means he doesn't really want to kill himself. Even so, all the threats of killing yourself are threats. So, if there is a threat of talking like that, it means we have to be aware of it. And, if we kill ourselves, or the people around us, when there is a threat of suicide, for example, or, for example, it's easy to read the status. If the status is low, what should we do as friends? We should be aware of it. Sometimes, the status is low, or the people talk about it makes us angry. Because we don't want to be close to the people who are low, so that we don't get bored. Because it's not comfortable to attract people. That's what makes people become more independent.  Because they really want to be alone. That's what we have to learn. Learning is the technique of being independent. Be independent, listen to it. And sometimes, it's possible to learn, like what I said earlier, empathy. We learn to validate. Learn not to try to control ourselves. Just like that. Trust me, I'm just heavier. For example, don't be like that. Or, sometimes, if the people in Indonesia say like this, Don't be like that. Don't be like that. So, we need to be present. Then, imagine the situation when you're stressed. Imagine the situation when you're super stressed. Imagine. Then, what kind of support do you expect from the people you're jealous of? That's what happens. Don't be like that. Don't be like that. Don't be like that. Don't be like that. Don't be like that. Don't be like that. What do you want to do when you're stressed? You want to get a friend like that. So, you want to be like that. For example, you start to be interested. You actually want to be interested in what you're interested in. You want to be friends with friends, with friends. So, people like that, when you start to show your interest. Because now, imagine, if you're talking about the suicide prevention, For example, from the community, that's the light. If you're talking about it, it's not heard. If you're talking about the community, psychiatry, psychology, Then, from all of them talking, the smell is stronger. Compared to just one part of fighting alone. So, the collaboration must be done. Then, we must focus on positive thinking. I don't really like positive thinking. Because, try it. Every time we have positive thinking, there must be negative thinking. If we talk about, I'm good. You're not good at that time. I've done that before. At that time, it's positive. It's always like that. It's tired. So, it's better for us to learn how to control all positive thinking or negative thinking. So, we can learn how to remote. If we do that, our experience becomes more positive. A big thank you to Isra for moderating such an interesting discussion during our Southeast Asia...


I'm not your buddy, friend. He's not your friend, guy. I'm not your guy, buddy. He's not your buddy, friend. I'm not your friend. Hello! Everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Procrastinator's Podcast, the only show on the internet about friends. I am the best guy ever, and we're joined today by Monkey Jones. Oh, look at Donkey Go! That's funny. We've got Ben Stain here. Yeah, the PCP, the only show produced by friends, for friends, and only for friends. If you're not our friend, get out of here. If you're not on the Patreon, you're literally a worthless friend. Oh, wait, Monkey's calling you out. Monkey's calling you out, listener. That's true. We've also got the DeVoo with us. Hey, everybody, I saw those pictures you posted on Facebook of you guys hanging out. I guess I didn't get the invite, I guess.  DeVoo wasn't supposed to know. And at her glorious return, it's going to be a real frenescence, everybody. Lethal Aurora Mage is back with us.  We're just delighted to have you with us once again. Yeah, I'm happy to return. Beautiful. Let's do the thing that we're doing and let's clarify what the PCP is real quick.  Any clarifications? It's also a pyramid scheme, as of very recently. Hashtag PCP Pyramid Scheme, everybody. All right, well, today's topic, everybody, is friends. Worthless friends, specifically.  Okay, we'll get into the exact definition. But first, okay, so there's no worthless friends on Urban Dictionary if you can believe that. But let's just see what a friend is and we'll go from there. Nobody knows about friendship better than the people of Urban Dictionary. That's very true. Okay, here we go. Here's the top definition for friends.    I think I have a lot of friends that would fit this perfectly. What a terrible definition. If not making me cry just to be mean, it qualifies you as a friend. Then I think I have an awful lot of friends. That's true. Does anybody actually trust their friends with their internet password? That's like a recipe for disaster. You know what I remember when I think about that?   And he's making the larger point there that sometimes it's best not to trust everybody because everybody's better off that way. So I'm totally with you.    So that's why you don't want to give them the password. Was that any different from a usual Facebook post for monkey? Like, I don't even... It's been posted so many times they wouldn't know if I got hacked or not. You guys use Facebook? You're such normies. My Facebook actually got hacked this morning and my college friends were messaging me being like, dude, thanks for notifying me about that 90% off sale of sunglasses but please keep that to your... and how ironic is it that it's sunglasses knowing that it's me?  But in any case, so okay, we're talking about worthless friends. Nate, don't pretend you're not taking a little handout under the table from some unscrupulous foreign bootleg sunglasses corporation. They supply you and that's how you get your fix. They keep me in the green with these sunglasses. Keep me out of the red. Okay, so let's... I think we all probably got a different idea of what a worthless friend really is. I'm sure it'll be around the same general theme but so who's had some experience with a friend who turned out to just be of no value to you or anyone else on this earth? Oh buddy, I've got a wacky cavalcade of lovable characters to introduce you all to today. I have two. Two. Well, I think since Maige is a lady and she's also back after a long summer, I think we should let her go first. No. Agreed. Don't. Okay, let's get somebody else to give one.  So that's a pretty worthless friend. Somebody who betrays your trust like that.  I'm just saying, you know, context matters in these situations.  Yeah, of course. Great story. I think I've read that anime before.    I think I read about that on like page 17 of Humblebrag Compendium 2018. Oh, that's not a brag. Is being forgiving something to brag about, DeVoo?  It's a sign of weakness. It's like quite literally messianic. In today's feminized society, I suppose it is a virtue, I suppose it is. I think being too forgiving is a sign of weakness. I think it's a humble deficit, not a humble brag because it only leads to more pain.   I have no choice but to forgive them for all these terrible things they've done. But that's just the one example. I'll get into one so you guys haven't heard before later on. OK. Mage, can you give us one of your two? OK. But I'm leaving the last one for the last because this was super long. OK. OK, so like, there was this guy. We go way back. I think I met him when I was eight at first. And like, we have quite a history but like to summarize it, like at first he was like absolutely terrible disgusting. But to summarize it, he raped me. He was the brother of my best friend so he had to be there I guess whenever we went to hang out. Was he an older guy? Yeah, by one year. So he was, yeah. So we was around. So at first like we really disliked him but then like started to really get along with him that at one point he became the best friend rather than my best friend. That'll come up later in the second story by the way. Or should do if I don't forget. Four shadowing. Yeah, so and then we were like really, really good friends and stuff and he went to study in America for a year. Not an exchange program but like he won the privilege of studying in America for a year and was really cool. And we kept in touch and he actually sent me a manga like the death note, first volume manga for Christmas as well because he knew I was really into death note at that time. So it was wonderful. We were good friends. But then he returned and when he returned he kind of got set back a year in school because in America they were learning a different curriculum than we were learning. Sure, sure. So he ended up in my class and I was like, we can sit together during the classes we are gonna have together and like we can hang out and stuff it'll be like great. But then he never did and then he kind of started shunning me. And it's just like he got like too cool for me or something. Because I think the thing is he was always sort of... He had that American. He was an American. No, my theory is because he was always sort of like the nerd in his previous class he didn't really have much friends but then he came back and he started getting along with the other people a lot and it was like we were teens at that point I think 16 or 17 and everyone kept hanging out drinking and stuff and I'm not about that. And we went to the super special class called the Baccalaureate program so all the smart kids went there. And I got in there because I was very good at English that's the only reason I got in there. I studied everything else in the English class so I wasn't the most popular kid especially since I was into anime and stuff so I was like the weird kid. I was not popular.  You know mage, that's an excellent point I also want to add to the point that it is a big propagandized myth that nerds are like actually good people or nice people That is like the shitest meme of all.  Are you?  Stop gaslighting us on the definition of good. Are you actually here to argue that because that the chocolate chip cookies are so good that it's so sad to stop eating them, that it's not worth eating them in the first place?   There are things I think taste even better than chocolate chip cookies, but they're just a certain kind of good that aren't the same problem. All right, I guess Davoo's making like the heroin arguments. Like, is heroin good? I mean, kind of, it's kind of good, but when your whole life is wrecked because you've reached to high a peak of euphoria.  That's more of a complicated thing, right? Cause like for example, like on- My P-brain can understand this.   The beginning of every tortilla chip is great. The end of every tortilla chip is all right. And so the only way to continue the feedback loop is to keep doing more chips, right? It's a clear science.  Like, that's kind of like weird abusive marketing right there, abusive products. Is that Skinnerbox? Right, yeah.  But like, obviously with chips, the logic in science is very clear. It's salt and then the salt gets absorbed and now you're dealing with a bunch of tasteless darts. I don't know how the science works with chocolate chip cookies. I don't understand why, but I could have something like say brownies with ice cream, which I think I would write above chocolate chip cookies as in terms of taste, but I feel more sad to find out. But please stop, I'm so hungry. Okay, well, you know what? You know what? I'd say dark chocolate chip cookies are better anyway. So the question is settled. Actually guys, I just realized I made a mistake. The question actually said dark people, milk people. Oh, no, we've been racist this whole time. What are the milk people?  Like the guy named the milk. It's the carthine, it's the carthine or the milk people. Wouldn't a milk person be a woman?  That's a good point. They're the cows of people. That's not, you're not wrong. Well, I guess I'm gonna maintain my same answer from before, which is that my favorite are the kinds, the really small ones, you get in a bag. Oh, DeVu. Ben and Nate have some jungle fever over here. Well, yeah, I guess we do. Yes, we do. Should we move on to the next question? I've got it right here lined up. All right, there you go. All right, here we go. New question, at Faye88son says or asks, are you with or with not, this is how they said, are you with or with not designer babies? Designer babies. What does that mean? What do you think, everybody? What? So a designer baby is the idea of being able to genetically engineer the type of baby you want and then you just, you know.  And I'm pretty sure it would be a bad idea to start down that route with humans as well. So I'm gonna go. Well, Ben, let me just play devil's advocate on the obvious points here, but wouldn't it be great though, Ben, if we just engineered everyone to not have any chance of cancer and have, I don't know, be tall and strong and muscly and not be a better resisted disease. I was thinking designer as in purely aesthetic. If we're talking about like disease resistance, then I'm gonna say, yeah, but like having a foreign amendment against aesthetics is just, here's a, like talking about ideology, sure, but let's go one layer down towards a little bit more of practicality as to like what platforms, no matter how noble, cannot possibly win. Here's the thing, like, because when Ben said it would be difficult to go to start down that direction, keyword I wanna emphasize is start.  It's like the same thing.  And if you choose to not drink alcohol during pregnancy, you are making an effect. It's just a very simple one. It's a very simple, obvious, not complicated, not morally gray yet series of decisions that you are making.  So like the people who are against this are hypocritical. And I just don't think people are gonna be able to like, yeah, the people who are gonna stand against it just aren't gonna be able to win.  I agree DeVoo that to say it's just bad on its face is overly simplistic for a lot of reasons. But like, I see that the biggest concern that I would have is through the, like, how good is the actual process? Like, are we saying in this example that we magically have the ability to just, you know, wizardly control whatever kind of way we want our kids to come out and there won't be any side effects? I'm thinking like that the real issue will be the actual like tangible effects of monkeying around with like a zygote's DNA and like trying to control it. But yeah, I'm sorry. That's your word. I know that's your people's word. First PewDiePie and now you. How can you do this to me? What I did want to say was that, so Star Trek totally sidestepped this question in what I would consider a fairly cowardly way. And it's that, so the way that Star Trek addressed the question of genetic engineering is, so even in the original Star Trek, everyone knows Khan, you know, the famous Khan guy. So he is a genetically engineered like super Ubermensch. And that's like, and it just made him like think that like, okay, I am superior to everyone. So I have carte blanche to just like rule the human race. And there were a lot of guys like him and you know, it caused a lot of bad things to happen because he had that mentality. But like, and so basically, and in deep space nine, there is another character who's also genetically enhanced, but basically the whole thing is like, he's okay.  Exactly.  Like that's the idea here.  A much better conceit would simply be that like, well we tried, but it turns out we can't make people that much better than we already can because DNA is more complicated than we thought, you know, like fucking, you know. They're trying to avoid the question of like, okay, but what if we really do just start making every baby like pretty much perfect as it can be.  I'm watching the Merrim versus Nettro fight right now.  But it probably would have worked out okay. I mean, okay, so like he was not a bad person. He just had a big ego because everyone, you know, fed it a lot and he had to kind of sort through it. But like he did develop human emotions and an appreciation for life. He probably wouldn't have lost if he was like more than like 15 days old and had like more life experience. Yeah, like the only reason he lost is because the, you know, people assumed he was going to be a huge problem for the world, which he may or may not have eventually been. You know, the ants did kill a lot of people, but you know, he didn't really have control of that from the start. He was brought into this system. So he himself, you know, maybe he would have fixed things and like, you know, they basically just assassinated him without finding out what he would eventually become. He was only like a couple days or like a couple months old at that point, you know? Yeah.    That's, okay. We don't need to get into that anymore. So does anyone have like a strong stance against it on any kind of moral level or is it all practical? No. Yeah, human life is there to be toyed with in my mind. Okay. I see a good question here, pretty heady one. Porous sale. Is it on the Twitter or for a man? Yeah, it's on Twitter. Porous Sailing God asks, what does humanity deserve more? Alien friendship by solving global warming for us or punishing us with death for causing it? Oh, wow. Well, okay. By killing us because we caused global warming that only hurts us, what's? I think what she's asking is does humanity deserve to be, should aliens step in and help us solve the issue or should they destroy us? Because we've caused this issue and we're too dangerous. I think the destroy thing is a silly point. I would not be on board with that.  There's like, you guys are still relying on the atmosphere of the rock you grew out of, plebs.  They're interdimensional travels.  Well, you know, we'll need to fix it. Still gotta live on them. Yeah, you gotta, sorry, you could live in a ship, I guess, but whatever, people do better on planets. Yeah, no, I mean, I wouldn't really, I mean, it'd be nice if the aliens fixed it and then just like gave us the answers of these questions, but I think humans will sort it out eventually. I mean, I think we deserve the benefit of the doubt. What's her face from horror, he said? Yeah, I could influence the weather, but like if you influence it just slightly in an artificial way, it will basically cause apocalypse for hundreds of years. So now- Wait, Haru, Haru, he said that? Oh, right.  Oh, Yui, no, not Yui, Nagato, yeah, Yuki, that's right, that's right. Okay, the question of like, should we be wiped out for it? It's like, I feel like that attitude is coming from this like, because we have like committed this sin against the planets.  It's not alive. It has no personhood. It is not deserving of moral concern outside of, it is a habitat for, and I don't even care about animals. My standard of caring about something is if it has like an intelligence that is worth preserving. Some animals might qualify for that and definitely humans do.     All I care about is our environment. That's all I care about. Yeah, for our own sake. Yeah, I mean, not to like pile on and be too much of a dick, but hearing that question, it reminds me of like my parents and their friends being like, do you think that like America deserved to be destroyed by Satan for all of its sins at this point? I'm just like, okay, yeah, I gotcha. Oh, yes it does. I mean, yes, but, you know. All right, how about this one? Jade Murrow asks, how much do you value being a jack of all trades versus specializing in one craft? Oh, immensely. So, because I feel that the one field I have proven successful in videos would not have been able to be if not for having a very specific mixture of skills. Wait, let me finish the question. She goes on to say, I mean, most crafts take more than one skill to do. Right, yeah, exactly. That's true. It's all about the very specific mixture. Like you can have people with like mediocre to pretty good skills in certain things, but if combined just right, they make something great. And I would consider James Rolfe to be kind of in that camp. Like he's pretty good at writing, he's pretty good at directing, he's pretty good at editing, he's pretty good at analysis, and he's pretty good at filmmaking. I think he's kind of like a mediocre to decent filmmaker, but he would just happen to have the idea to combine filmmaking and narrative with video game review and created an all new genre that like revolutionized everything and happens to still do it better than most people. The single most important invention of the last 100 years was the induction of the video game nerd.  Yeah, yeah, oh, absolutely. The greatest creation of the last 100 years, I would say, of course. You know, we're like Andrew Hussey taking pretty good art skills, great writing skills, great work ethic skills and creating something that's spec'd perfectly to his abilities and he made something amazing with it, right? So, yeah, like to do videos, to do videos like all around well, you got to be pretty good at analysis, you got to like understand writing, you got to understand like visual flow, you got to understand how to talk at least decently, you got to have the privilege to afford all the equipment and yeah, you got to have like a thin array of like a little bit of skills in many different fields and if you don't have all of them, you're fucked. That's true, that's true. Yeah, this question highlights to me why it's important not to like spend time like practicing to do a thing by doing other things and why the best practice for a thing is just to do it because like yeah, whether it's videos or comics or anything you're wanting to do, like yeah, it takes a set of skills to do a task well and the only way you're gonna like practice all of them in the proportions that you need to know them to get good at the particular thing is to do that thing because anything else is gonna be imbalanced, you know? Like if you're trying to draw a comic and you just do like figure drawing, like maybe you'll get good at drawing figures, but like drawing comics is, it involves more than that, it's all about framing, about dialogue and pacing. You want to be the best artist because there's a thousand best artists. So like if you want to be the best of something, come up with an all new combination that no one's even heard of. So I would say the best thing to do is specialize, well, well, hey, is anyone? I can hear it, I can hear it. Okay, Devoop, cut out. I think I can hear it. I would think the best thing that you should, you should specialize in one thing and you should be, and thereby become good at all the things needed to do that one thing, but yeah, I think overall, like specializing in one thing is the most important because like you're only, like that's what makes you stand out. You know, they say like do one thing and be the best at it. If you're doing all kinds of different things, you will never be the best at any of them and being the best is what it takes, you know? Being the best at what you specifically are doing is what it takes to, you know, stand out. Agreed, agreed. If you're doing, if you're mediocre at a bunch of different things, this is not the case. And when you say the best of a thing, a thing doesn't mean a whole medium. It can mean a whole genre. It can mean a very specific thing, you know?  That's exactly what I mean. Being the best at specifically the thing you're doing, like even if it's like something real narrow.  Do not steal. It's Hepatitis B DCI. Yeah, and you know, like the small but dedicated Hepatitis B fan base will go wild for it. And that's what you want.  It'll be great. Yeah.  What are you, a Hepatitis C fan, lull. We're better than those people. Hey, here's a question that's totally relevant to our podcast here from the Twitter at micoolman or mecoolman says, how do I make cool internet friends like you guys? And the great thing I like about this is it's not a question of like, how do I become your friend? This man is looking to cultivate his own circle of internet friends. And I have advice for that. I would say the best thing to do is just find a community and get engaged with it and identify the people who are investing their own energy and providing value to that group and, you know, contribute to it in whatever way you can, be it like a content creator or otherwise, and identify the people who are worth your time, hang out with them, just talk with them. It's inevitable that you get to know them because you're both there investing your time in the thing that you're doing. And yeah, I'd like my people to chill with them. The procrastinators could not have been formed in any other environment but broneism. The MLP fandom specifically facilitated a sort of hypothetical social structure of people running around sort of an ecosystem.  But like there was just enough people who were actually good that they were definitely going to find one another and hit it off really well through this highly relatable place that they're both in. So yeah, that's the only way that the PCB could have been formed. Like everything with like the kind of art that we do all sort of being synchronized. We were sort of all on the same page for a period. I mean, I wasn't in it at the time but I was following it during the pony era and doing some pony stuff myself. Like we sort of all got synchronized. We all sort of like understood one another and sort of like, yeah, we started similar projects in similar ways for similar reasons and all imbued in ourselves the extremely categorical elitism over like the people around us because that was what the brony analysis community was where there was this just giant swath of people who were other shit to make you feel better and superior about yourself. And that's the attitude that we still have basically. There's such a stigma against feeling superior to people but when you look at the landscape and you see that you really just are superior. Well, if that's not the right time to feel superior when it is. Oh yeah, believe me. If you're doing an art specifically something that you're like, it's like a new project something you've never done before and you might be really insecure about it. You don't know if you're gonna do good.   It's a beautiful thing. I see another question I wanna answer. Sure. From at underscore swagdude underscore, favorite black fictional character and I just was excited to see this question because I definitely have an answer and it is the guy with the afro in Cromartie High.  He's totally black. I mean, there's a lot of indicators but he's not like that dark skin, you know, he's really not.  He's definitely a black guy. And he's definitely what they're going for. Well, yeah, exactly.   I might be forgetting someone else right now but the one that I really think of is Princess Teata from Princess and the Frog. I legitimately love that character.  So there you go. My favorite is Nino. I think the best black character is Bobobobobobobo from this anime called show title. It's called Bobobobobo. It's called Bobobobobo. I believe. If Bobobobobo is black, then this guy from Cromartie High is definitely because they basically look like the same. But Bobobobobobobo has a giant blonde afro. So that's like. This guy's got a giant regular afro. Oh, yeah.  What is Nino talking about? I cannot believe you have not seen Cromartie High. You should absolutely watch it. It's one of my favorite shows of all time. Yeah. You would love it. Mage. What about you, Mage? Mage? I was thinking. I haven't watched much of videos lately. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. We've got a guy's love, Mage T. Is it Jamal from black to dot com? No. I never finished, but I should probably get on that. What's it called again, the show? Young Justice, There We Go. Aqualad, I think? Oh, Aqualad or whatever. Yeah, he was cool. I liked him. Wait, he can swim? I never liked him. That's shitty and not cool. But I'm sorry, I don't mean to undercut your choice. OK, other questions?  Yeah, I was on for two hours. Fair enough. Oh, I want more. Now, we're done. We don't get paid more if we make the episode longer, DeVoo. DeVoo, if you want more, talk less during the episode. OK, so thanks for listening, everybody. Remember, send us more questions. Hashtag ask PCP. Those are the questions that we just answered on the Twitter. Or become a patron. Ask questions there. We're there all the time. All the PCB guys hang out there.  We have got six already done, I think. And we've already got the next one recorded. It'll be out in a day after this comes out, I think. So it'll be right around the corner. Which one was that one? What's the new bonus? Shit, what was it? Oh, it's our one on ASMR. We go deep on ASMR, everybody. Oh, god, that's what I really want everyone to experience that one. You will.   And hey, there's merch as well.  There you go. Those are all our revenue streams. Please support them as best you can. All right, thanks for listening, everybody. And we'll see you next time. Bye. When I was a young boy.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh. I'm supposed to be working right now. Supposed to be.


your own words to put in. What about the performance? I know you always try and measure performance and what you see rather than the results in terms of points, but obviously you're still on this, you're in this long windless run despite picking up some points. Has it ever been difficult to keep that faith that performances will ultimately yield the points you need? Of course you can't, we know that, but that's to be something reliable, a way of operating and measuring what's going on. And with all the challenges and all the noise and all the different things that have gone out of Falklub since I got it and before I got it, the finance and all the likes of things, we want to have a benchmark and a kind of baseline, if you like, of what we judge. And there has to be something in there, it can't just be about winning or losing, there has to be a point where you go right, OK, where are we at with the actual performance levels? And I spoke the other night about it, I don't think we've been as far as everyone thinks, you know, the winning bit does change, it changes the viewpoint, of course it does. You know, we all do it, and an average performance when you win becomes a very, very good performance, a very good performance when you lose becomes an average performance, that's just the way football is, that's the way that people view football. Our job and our professional side of it is to look beyond that, our job is to measure it and the best we can. Stats, facts, analysis and your eyes and your feel, you know, me and my staff have got thousands of games between us. But I can assure you and everyone else, there's no naivety to it, we're not just going, oh well we played well again. Of course not, you take an ugly, horrible win, and sometimes you need that, sometimes we might need that again. You know, but ideally you do it by design, ideally you do it by the team, delivering, playing well, forcing results through their quality of performance, that's the ideal world. But now and again you have to measure it by different things, and if it's three wins on the trot and their ugly hardfought wins, then you take it. But over a season's work and over years of playing in the game, usually when you're doing things right, you're playing well, that's what brings results and that's what you want as a coach, manager, the staff, etc. And the players, of course. You mentioned the control of balls and then also the noise, can I ask you about the noise? Have you had any word yet on the rolling, the latest PSI rolling? Nope, I made it clear the last time it just came when it came, so that's all I know at the moment on that one. It feels like the Premier League wants to wait almost until after this weekend, it's such a huge game. Would you prefer if a decision's been made to know right now ahead of the Burnley game, or is it right that we wait until this potentially huge game in the relegation fight is played out? Well, from the last time, I don't know what their thoughts on that were. We just got it when we got it. Whether they look at it differently, I don't know. So we'll have to wait and see with that, but the focus is beyond that anyway. We've had one knock, we know that, we've got a little bit back. Who knows what comes next, because we weren't expecting the first one, how it transpired. So we'll have to wait and see. You know, we have to keep on the realities and the current realities, where we are on the table. We've got a good point from the second half performance, sorry, against Newcastle. There's a much more positive feel to the group. That'll be our focus going into the next game. Just finish on the next game then. We're in at Burnley. It was your last one in the Premier League. It was a very dominant performance. I just wonder how do you see them right now? They've had their own upturned inform, are they perhaps a slightly more difficult or a different proposition going into this weekend? No, I don't see them as much different in the sense they're giving their all. They've got a usefulness, they've got energy about them, they have some quality. They've spent a lot of money on players to try and build on what they achieved last season in the championship. Obviously it's been a tough season, not just for them. It's been a tough season for us and many others, because the Premier League is tough. Their challenge is what it is. It's nothing to do with me now. I'm completely focused on what we do here. I'd like to think that's obvious. I always respect Burnley if a global wise will do, but the fact is when the whistle blows there'll be no respect then. We've got to look after ourselves and we've got to deliver a performance that can beat them. Hi Sean. There was a clip that's gone viral of an Argentine commentator bursting into song after Dominic scored the penalty. Where would that match with your celebrations on the touch-line internally? Well, I think I just went well done, so I'd say it's considerably different. I didn't know about that. That's maybe for someone else to answer to. I don't do much social media. It's gone very popular amongst the Everton fans. I might be hearing it. I hope you're shouting for that goal. I hope you're shouting a lot more. If you're shouting a lot more, that means we're scoring a lot more goals. You mentioned it a little bit there, but you said you don't mind previously how the goals come about. It's just getting it over the line and having something to build on it. Is that the same feeling after Tuesday? The point was similar. You take goals, you've got to find goals. Everyone wants to score perfect goals and beautiful goals and lovely goals. Of course, but what about ugly goals? We don't set pieces, which we're in pretty strong ones to be fair over the season. How many different ways can you operate to find goals and to force goals? We're forced a lot of chances, but we haven't always forced the finish. We'll take goals however they can come at the moment. You always would. But again, you want to design them if you can, but the other night we got them from Penalty. We should have had Penalty the week before. We didn't get it. We get this one and he puts it away. Whatever the way they come, we've got to make sure that we get them. Speaking about doing it by design, is the design and focus now trying to find a way to find the back of the net through open play? That's always the design, because set pieces don't really be on their valid, but they hopefully support the facts of your general play for obvious reasons. Start some facts and the difference between scoring open play and scoring set piece goals. I think we've created enough to score goals. Finding them final moments has been the question mark all season. It remains so at the minute. Working hard in both boxes, which we certainly did the other night at Newcastle. We've got to continue that thought process. Reminded the players before the game at Newcastle. It was a strange game. It didn't seem two minutes ago and we were winning four on the trot and we were scoring three clean sheets. Then it just as if by magic you're on a tough run and everyone's making a noise about it. That's football. That's life in football. Correcting that is the key. Very strong signs at Newcastle the other night of correcting that. We've got to continue with that thought process and that performance level. Beat burning last time but with less possession, fewer passes, fewer shots. Do you anticipate that they'll be different this time round? The stats suggest they've been going back to front quicker. More of a different kind of twist in the shape as well. We'll see. We'll see. My knowledge is pretty good of the stats and facts of the Premier League and what brings winning football. I'm not corrected it so far in this run but I think I've got a depth of knowledge that suggests when we do things right and we play the way that I think we should be playing. Then we can correct that so that's what we're looking to do. Thanks Alan. We'll go to Michael. Sean, the home form played a massive part in Everton's survival after you took over in January of last season. It was the same the season before. It hasn't happened to the same extent this season. Do you think the players at times are struggling to cope with the added expectation? I would hope not. The fortress that it can become, the feel in the stadium, the noise from the funds is tremendous at times. I think we've had too many get away from us this season rather than given away. Early season I thought we were performing as well as what I've seen us perform in my time here but couldn't win a game because we weren't taking our chances. We've got to keep the performance levels high particularly when we're playing at home because I think the fans help with that. Balancing out Everton Football Club in the bigger picture when I got it it was the waveform everyone was saying it had been terrible for years. We've corrected that and then they said the home form has been terrible. Balancing that up is always a work in progress. That's for sure since I've been at the club. It seems there was a lot of noise one way or the other behind that as well last couple of seasons. Definitely I think everyone would have appreciated away from home our performance changed and we've done pretty well with that. At home we kind of lost our way early season but not because of performance levels I didn't personally feel because we couldn't score the goals that needed to win a game. So I think correcting that but no I think there's an energy about playing at home. There certainly should be. I think there is with the team, there is with the fans. Absolutely always full of admiration for the fans here because they support, they do. They travel in numbers all over the place and they go to the home games in numbers. So it's our job and our responsibility to give them what they want and that's winning football. There was an energy and a purpose to Everton at Newcastle particularly in the second half and particularly after the triple substitution. Can the players use that and coaching staff as a reference point and a blueprint for what's coming in the next few games? Well, I think there's the Lazer midfield and Arnie and them are on use as well on Ramadan as well so we've got to weigh up that and make sure they've got as much energy as they can whilst respecting their faith of course. That often offers the idea of change and freshness. We felt that was necessary three in a week as well and I think we've got some very good players in the squad. I've said that ever since I've been here. Ondrae's getting fitter and sharper. He's only really been a fitness issue with Ondrae. He's been so unlucky with sort of niggly calf injuries that have cost him but he's looking stronger and fitter all the time. Jimmy gets a wrestling knife, came on and delivered a very strong performance as well. You know, new sense of young and he's learning but he came on and worked for the team.  Young he played really well. You know, these are all ways that the team can operate. So if we need to make changes we will do. We've still got a very competitive group at the full-back positions now that Shay's fit as well. I mean, Shay played three in a week so we have to be careful with that one. That's obvious. So there's certainly nothing wrong with the competitive nature of the group. We've got injuries back as well. More or less, Arnie's on the grass with us. He's not quite fit yet but he's on the grass with us. Amadou's had a few knocks so he is tomorrow. Dobbo's making good progress now. So, you know, there is a look of the group that it's very competitive. We've got to pick the ones that are competitive on a matchday that win games and that's our job. You spoke about performance before and obviously results are what everybody sort of takes their views from. In terms of trying to give the players self-confidence and to boost those confidence levels, how difficult is that when the results aren't going your way? It's the nature of their careers. You know, at the end of the day, you don't start a career in football just by being naturally mega confident.  Everyone has a break in pre-season, whatever it may be, six, seven weeks or whatever.  It comes from confidence in a thing. It comes from resilience. It comes from knowledge. It comes from know-how. It comes from your professionalism. And we don't like any of that. So the group should be confident but it's more the freedom that comes from confidence.  You feel like you're flowing. You feel like you're moving into shape quicker. All the nuances of the game, all the anticipation of the game, when you're confident it just seems to come a bit quicker and a bit more at ease. You know, and that's, we're trying to work with the players to get them in that kind of thought process rather than that little bit of tightness that comes, you know. And, you know, the other night was a good example. You know, first of it, because look with it, just that bit of tightness and that little edge. And then second of, look freer and more open and players making more free. I can't really describe it, but more zone thinking as they call it. You know, the psychologist called it, more zone thinking where you just play it.  You're making good decisions. You're moving around the pitch freely. You're anticipating the game freely. And that's the area. That's the zone you want our players in. And we're working very hard and they are as well to get in that zone and get in that good place. And I thought second of was a very strong sign of that. And look back to previous times when we were winning games. It looked like there was a bit of freedom there. And effective, as you rightly said, plays affecting it who started and plays affecting it coming from the bench, because it is a squad mentality that we've been trying to build here. Yeah, I think. I mean, as recent, you know, recent weeks even, you know, we, it was a soft one at Bournemouth without being particularly poor, but it was soft. I thought we were very good at Monday Night. I thought we were very good against West End. They're very good performances. You score there, then, types of performances. You score a goal and you win them games. And everyone thinks that you're back on blob and everyone's playing terrifically. And they were a good sort of measure of how that works. You've got to go and repeat. You've got to get back to their performance levels and then turn the screw. You've got to score goals. You've got to score, as I was saying, it's basic form. You're scoring that and then stop it in that end. You'll never change. You know, they're the basic principles. So getting back to that is the key. And I think, as we were suggesting in the second half, you'd add that feel is, you know, that's hard to explain for people who, you know, look at these press conferences. The feel of years are being informed. I've been there all my life. You can sense and feel when it's right and all the players were the same. You know, afterwards, some of the key players and the older players, they know on the pitch and they were suggesting after this, that's when we're right. That feeling, that's when we're right. That sense on the pitch. Re-creating and finding consistency in that feeling. Of course, that's the next step of that. You know, you can't rely on a half of football. You've got to take it forwards. And that's what we're looking to do. Thanks, Mike. Any further questions in the open section? George. Excuse me. Yeah, he's a very assured footballer. That's for sure. And his ability and his knowledgeable footballer and a very good pro. And he's been very unfortunate. You know, I made it clear to him because obviously I've been an odd sort of period for him when he wasn't sure whether he's staying or going. I made it clear as long as he's here, every part of what I want to do and what we want to play and how we want to play. Excuse me. Keeping him fit has been a challenge and he's been very frustrated by that. And then once he's been fit, kind of pushing hard enough to get him truly fit, whilst not breaking him, of course, that's been important. And I think he's going now. I spoke to him just last week about wanting to get him more minutes, wanting to get him playing, possibly starting as well. And he feels good about himself. He said, yeah, I feel like I'm in a good place. So that's another player who we think can be very effective because he's a very good player.

The following is a production of New Mexico State University. With the dawn of every harvest season comes the influx of invasive weeds and insects to the Navajo Nation.  Sometimes pest population control is a necessary step to assure that crops survive and are as plentiful as possible. Natural enemies will take care of some of the pests, but the rest is up to the farmer. Timely crop rotation, removal of the food that pests eat, and planting the timing of planting, growing and harvesting will get rid of some of these pests. But pesticides are often still needed to achieve economic control. The single most important step in using pesticides is to always read the label and follow the directions on the label exactly. You are responsible by law for any damage caused by pesticides to people or property. By reading the label on the pesticide container, you will have all the information you need to protect yourself and others. First, determine the pest you need to control and which chemical is best fit to control it. Selective pesticides will kill only the weed or insect that is its target. Non-selective pesticides can kill more than just the target. There are many different types of pesticides, each is named based on the pest it is designed to control. Once the type of pesticide is determined, the formulation can be selected. Formulations are either liquid or dry. There are four types of liquid formulations. Solutions are one formulation that comes ready for use and requires special application equipment. Blowables must be mixed with water. Aerosols in low concentration are often used indoors as a fine spray or mist. Liquefied gas fumigants turn into gas when applied. Some are packed in pressure containers. But before attempting to use any of these pesticides, be sure and read and understand all the instructions on the label. Pesticide labels include the following information. How to use the product correctly and safely. The brand name and the type of formulation. Active ingredients will be listed by common name and by chemical name. All other non-active ingredients will also be listed. Net contents and the manufacturer of the product will be named. It is critical when using a pesticide that you are aware of its toxicity. The label will indicate if the pesticide is highly toxic, moderately toxic or if it is a less toxic formulation. Essential first aid and physician information for pesticide poisoning treatment is contained on the label in case of an accidental poisoning. The labels also indicate which pests will be controlled and how, where and when the pesticide is to be applied. Again, it is illegal to use any pesticide if you do not follow the instructions on the label. There are a few simple but important safety measures you must take to protect yourself when using pesticides. Make sure your body is fully covered and that you are wearing neoprene gloves. These gloves should be long enough to protect your wrists. Shirt sleeves should be outside your gloves to keep pesticides off your hands. Cotton gloves are dangerous unless the pesticide label indicates otherwise. Wear long-sleeve shirts, pants and coveralls that will fit outside your gloves and boots to protect from spills. Goggles or a face shield are also necessary protection when using pesticides. After you have used the pesticide, change your clothes immediately. Wash your gloves, hat, face shield and boots every day and check gloves for leaks. Never store or wash work clothing with a family laundry. Be sure to read and follow the directions on pesticide labels exactly otherwise pesticides can be lethal. Breathing vapors or skin contact is one of the most common methods of pesticide poisoning. Pesticides can enter your skin in greater amounts than you could swallow or inhale. Pesticide drifts can be dangerous so when mixing and pouring pesticides keep them below eye level and work with the wind to your side. Operate equipment so that the pesticide drift is away from you. Keep unauthorized people and children away when using pesticides. This will help avoid accidental eating or drinking. Know the signs and symptoms of pesticide poisoning so that first aid can be administered immediately. A person with mild pesticide poisoning will exhibit signs of fatigue, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, excessive sweating, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Moderate pesticide poisoning will include all of these symptoms plus the inability to walk, weakness, chest discomfort, muscle twitches and constriction of pupils. With severe poisoning the person will become unconscious, experience severe pupil constriction, muscle twitches, secretions from the mouth and nose and difficulty breathing. If pesticide poisoning occurs call the paramedics immediately then read the label for any first aid information. Pesticide labels contain practical treatment information. If skin contact has been made remove the pesticide quickly. If the pesticide has been splashed in the mouth or swallowed rinse the mouth out immediately. Pesticides can be used safely if labels are read. Proper equipment and protective clothing is worn and directions are followed precisely. Pesticide users must also take their environment into consideration. When wind drifts occur the pesticide is moved outside of the target area and can be harmful to non-target plants, animals, water and people. Do not apply pesticides in moderate or strong winds. Use a low pressure spray to avoid drift. Pesticide runoff can kill fish and wildlife and leach through the soil contaminating groundwater. One of the most important ways you can protect your environment is with the careful storage and transportation of pesticides. The recommended way to carry pesticides is to place the container in a plastic tub or bucket. This tub should be large enough to hold the contents of the original container should it leak or break. Secure the plastic tub in the bed of a pickup truck. Store pesticides in its original labeled container. The storage building should have a cement floor. Always store pesticides away from water or streams. Always store pesticides in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. If pesticides are spilled, confine the spill by building a dyke or by soaking up the spill with sawdust or soil. Once soaked up shovel into a leak-proof container for disposal into a special pesticide landfill. Wash containers at least three times before disposal. All containers must be destroyed or buried after use. Pesticide use is a safe and simple way to control pests. Just remember that the most common mistake in pesticide use is made by ignoring one or two safety procedures or pieces of equipment. Every procedure and piece of equipment listed on the label is important. As long as they are properly used, pesticides will help produce plentiful, healthy crops today and in the future.
