You can just start on List perfectly I have I want to say probably 4,000 plus items listed and I have thought about just getting everything on list perfectly and With my schedule right now. It's just way too overwhelming With YouTube and whatnot and everything else that I'm trying to do Do I recommend it? I absolutely do Number one all of your items are saved in one spot So if anything ever crashes or anything like that everything is in list perfectly and you could just cross post them If you lose pictures, you know that happened one year So there's lots of lots of lots of lots of good reasons to To start and list perfectly and then cross post to use the catalog for list perfectly catalog But I don't so I'm gonna say Do as I say not as I do because I'm too busy To do it the right way. I Guess there's not a right way or a wrong way But the more efficient way would be the other way There's so many perks to using the catalog that I'm missing out on All right, so I have went ahead and changed my custom skew on these items right here Let's do this guy too. Let's do a few more and then we're gonna load them up And I'll just talk to you guys while I'm doing this List perfectly I have been using it since What 2019 Yeah 2019 I was one of the I think I was one of the originals It's crazy. All right, so we're just gonna pick a few of these and get them over to Poshmark and Mercari I only cross post to Poshmark and Mercari right now One platform that I've been thinking I would like to get back on is Etsy Did I just do that wrong? Oh my goodness I did okay, here we go. It's been a while I Accidentally I click the eBay thing so I'm highlighting all of these Because I have marked them as going to Poshmark and Mercari and And now I am gonna hit this button and I'm gonna take it to Mercari and Poshmark grailed eBay Etsy Facebook Depop Kittison Shopify Instagram and I don't know what this is But you can also take your items into the list perfectly catalog So if you're already on eBay and you want to get into the list perfectly catalog, you would click this one I'm just gonna go to Mercari and Poshmark So I have selected and I'm gonna hit copy Now you're gonna see all of these items are gonna pop up in my browser so we'll give those a minute to load and Then it's gonna be really really easy everything's coming over and we're just gonna do 14 listings here and Then those items are gonna be on both Poshmark and Mercari Um List perfectly does have photo room. So that's great. You can white out your background and Lots of other features that I'm not gonna go over in this video I'm just gonna show you the basics and just kind of chit chat with you guys If you're interested in trying this perfectly after you watch this there is a referral link down below You can use that and get 30% off your first month of list perfectly my referral code is BOLO buddies all one word So I talked to you guys all the time about selling plush and Getting different eyes on your items, especially with plush Poshmark and Mercari both have totally different buyers and that goes for Etsy and other platforms as well one platform that has I've been seeing a lot of in the Facebook group people posting big money Bolo's for their plush their vintage plush is On Etsy and I'm like I need to get my plush on Etsy So maybe I'll do that eventually but right now just focusing on the three platforms because I'm doing a lot of shows on what not So yeah, if you guys want to check me out on what not I am Bolo buddies over there There's a referral link down below for that and you'll get $15 to shop if you use that It's down in the description and I sell items auction style on what not Most of my items pretty much everything starts between a dollar and five dollars. I usually don't start anything about five dollars So it's a really different business model. I usually tell you guys to list high and wait for the right buyer and I continue to believe that on these types of platforms, but on what not a lot of times I am selling to resellers and Or people who are looking for just a really good deal So it's a different platform. It's a different business model and you guys can check out some of my live shows if you're interested in learning about what not But for now, we're going to talk about list perfectly and how Well plush does on the other platforms So if you're not on McCurry or Poshmark, definitely definitely consider getting your plush there toys do well jewelry does well I do have referral links down below for both Mercari and Poshmark if you join with my referral link for Mercari You're gonna get $10 to shop and you're gonna get another Is it I think it's $20 to shop when you sell a hundred dollars worth of stuff So $30 total and then Poshmark is just $10 to shop with my referral link, but still it's free money guys All right, these are already loaded. I'm chatting away with you and not even paying attention so I have loaded 14 items to both Mercari and Poshmark, so they're all loaded here and So that's what 28 items because you double it and that's how long it took to load them and now Hashtags, what do you guys think about hashtags? I mean I do it, but I don't really know if it Helps for Poshmark, so let me know in the comments if you think it does because I think if I didn't do it It would save me a lot of time Especially when I can't spell stuffed animals. Okay, so we're just gonna go with those three I May or may not do Hashtags but over on list perfectly they have the option and then it'll cross post to all the platforms So on list perfectly you're just filling it in once Everything in their catalog and it makes things so much more streamlined. I'm doing it the hard way. I tell you I'm doing it the hard way Okay, so the colors already there I do ship on your own and I do increase the price on Mercari because I offer free shipping They are suggesting that I sell this at $19. That's fine. They can suggest that I'm not going to I also don't I do not do smart pricing smart pricing is where they adjusted for you And I don't want them to do that. I would like to go in and send offers and adjust my own price so I'm gonna list that and Now that item is listed now we are over here on Poshmark The category is gonna be kids and they actually have a toy section that has Stuffed animals, so that's great. It pulled over the size. It is not new with tags and Again, if you list to the list perfectly catalog, it'll probably pick up more of these things than cross posting the way I'm doing it Alright, I do not want it to go to Facebook. I need to turn that off So this item is now going to be listed on Poshmark there it is All right, let's do the next one and we're just gonna work our way through these items this guy Have you guys ever seen him? I picked him up at a garage sale And I can't remember what I paid for him I Should maybe have a video coming on it eventually, but it's Daggett the talking dog And he's interesting He is gonna be Let's see suggested categories. Let's just do stuffed animals. He's in fair condition I'm just gonna say and Ship on your own. I'm gonna put a hundred dollars here because it's gonna cost me a little more to ship And again, I do not go by the suggested price. I don't feel like it's accurate I Have already searched the solds on ebay and I should have I need to edit this I forgot to take that out of the title on ebay. I have a title or I'm sorry. I have a video See a video attached to photos I need to take that out because there is no video on this platform so There we go. It's updated. Now. Let's do it here on Poshmark as well Sold as is Select category Kids toys Stuffed animals No I'm just gonna leave the color out and I'm gonna put a hundred on it. I Did a video. No, it wasn't on this one. It was on a monkey on how to fluff the fur and There's a way to do that and I did a video on my YouTube channel about it But I also fluffed the fur the same way with this guy so you can see his fur looks really nice It did not look like that when I got it all right This one here. I've already sold this once and I actually got multiples So I'm just kind of picking some keywords that I think might help me sell this item Category is already in there. It's by dandy This one is like new it has the original tags, but to me Even though it has the original tags. I am not the original owner. So I am gonna Oops I'm gonna put that it's just new without tags Actually, you know what? I'm not I'm gonna change it to good Because I think I have with tags in the title It is not beige. So I'm just gonna put select color and we're gonna list it and there it is And now let's do it on Poshmark. I like to do Poshmark and Mercari at the same time you could choose to just do One or the other That one does have tags that I'm just gonna put no I don't like that I don't like saying it's new if I'm not the original owner. Just Be uncomfortable All right, there's that one it is done and Then we're gonna go over here to this little CBS Easter Bunny and I have talked before about Selling things from like Walgreens or why is it not capitalizing? It will not capitalize. That's weird I exclusives Walgreens CBS You know different places like that that are the only people that sold these items with this brand They sell people look for them. They're harder to find the rebel reseller also talks about it a lot on her channel And she is one of the people that I learned that from But also rebel is now over on what not as well and She is selling her stuffed animals over there. So go check her out. She usually goes on Let's see what days at Saturdays. I think midday Saturdays around midday. She does Her plush sales when she has them and that's over on what not she's the rebel reseller there All right, so check her out and check her out on YouTube for sure. She's incredible. This is gonna be tiger plush And well, but what it's right there and I'm just gonna leave the brand not sure And I'm not I don't know I'm weird about colors. I wish they had multicolor Again, I'm shipping this on my own. So I will increase the price because the buyer is getting free shipping. I Use pirate ship to ship my mercury orders That's just a personal preference And I Feel like on mercury items that have free shipping have a little bit of an advantage Now on Poshmark, I do not do free shipping on eBay. I do not do free shipping Just mercury and if you guys are not using pirate ship, it is free and The shipping costs are very very good very competitive. So definitely recommend you check that out If you're gonna use You're gonna try mercury mercury is also a great place to source Look for items a lot of times people on mercury are not They're not resellers. They're just hobbyist sellers. So they're selling stuff from their home And they may not know the value of a stuffed animal and you may be able to get it for a good price and Flip it for a profit. So definitely check out Poshmark and mercury for Sourcing as well All right, we're just gonna keep listing these items and Really quick easy process I'm gonna put it for 25 over here It's okay to look at what the suggested retail value is for that platform but definitely You know do your homework Let's see new works sealed and original packaging This guy is pretty cool.  I'm gonna put a hundred on him See they're suggesting 22 That could be for something that's similar it may not even be the same item It's probably not one in the original bag like I have and I do price on the high end of side the high end the high end and Then I do markdowns and I send offers. So Where is stuff toys? Oh my goodness stuffed animals Trying to talk and do this at the same time. It's a little bit difficult I never fill in the style tags. It says optional. So I leave it off But for some reason I do it on Mercari, isn't that weird? So you guys let me know if you fill in the style options or the tags All right, let's get this guy over here And here is a lovey. I do have a video that talks about loveys. These are a great item A lot of them are Bolo's They're like small security blankets and a lot of people Search for these because their kids will lose them and They need a replacement and the item is retired It's no longer in stock and they turn to selling platforms to find those items So definitely check out my video on my youtube channel Bolo buddies on Lubbys if you see these little guys that are stuffed animals with a blanket Definitely look them up Why do I sell on multiple platforms? because different eyes on different Platforms I just had somebody reach out to me and she said that she sold something She's had it for about a year and a half and I'm gonna have a video on that But real quick you guys original price. I always put zero. So just FYI That's just what I do. So if you see me doing that and you're wondering why I don't know how much it retailed for So I just put zero. So anyway a gal reached out to me and she's like, hey, do you remember that dog lot? I got from Donatella and I said yes And she bought a dog lot and you're wondering.  Well, Donatella Fadolino used to put dog lots on her youtube channel for people to buy they were items that had stains or minor damage just things that she didn't want to sell as They weren't in great condition.  You'll have to wait for that video and She sold it on Poshmark. I think for the $80 or $90 range But the funny thing is she had it marked down to $44 on eBay she just kept marking it down and Well on Poshmark, she just left the price the same and it ended up selling on Poshmark for the $80 or $90 whatever it is and On eBay, it was $44. So that just goes to prove that people that buy on Poshmark buy on Poshmark, they don't even look at eBay They they could have gotten the same item on eBay for $44, but they didn't even look there. Do you see what I'm saying? So same with Mercari. Mercari is an awesome platform. I think plush. I mean especially Build-A-Bear Check out my video where I talk about Build-A-Bear plush and How much they go for on the different platforms? It's crazy It's crazy So yeah, just search Bolo Buddies Build-A-Bear And you'll see what I'm talking about I think on the thumbnail it says Mercari versus eBay or something like that But get your Build-A-Bear on Mercari for sure for sure. All right, let's keep going here. So we're going into the kids. We're hitting toys Stuffed animals and I'm much more quicker and efficient when I am not Trying to talk as I Do this it makes it a little bit difficult to multitask All right, let's go on we're working our way through these super fast Cross-posting is oh, I remember when I used to do this manually. I always Say before I started with list perfectly. I cross-posted. I Can't remember if it was like three thousand items To from eBay to Poshmark and Mercari It was awful That just sums it up. It was really bad you guys So to me list perfectly is a dream. I absolutely love it and again I know I'm not getting all the benefits doing it the way I do it but I just really wanted to come on here and get some stuff cross-posted and hang out with you guys and Kind of just show you how I do it, but also let you know how That there are other ways and I do have a video and I will link it down below That shows you how to do it the other way into the catalog And I have contemplated I don't know how many times getting all of my items into the list perfectly cataloged because I know it's the best thing and I just I just can't find the time Just can't find the time and now I'm on what not and I'm doing Believe it or not six to seven live shows over there every week every week So come and see me. It's super fun and hang out and it's live and I love it. I love it over there But I still love selling on the platforms also So just doing a little bit of everything I am cutting back a little bit on YouTube right now until I kind of find my balance Probably doing every other day. I think is what I'm gonna do. We'll see we'll see how it goes So I guess down in the comments, let me know which videos are your favorite That way I can make sure that I'm still getting out what you guys want to see I think I kind of know what your favorites are I know everybody would like to see more Goodwill bins videos and That is definitely a possibility I'm kind of taking a break and trying to list my money pile right now on what not because otherwise I'm just it's just building and building and building so I've been having a lot of toy shows I don't know if you guys remember I lost 18 videos I think it was from the Goodwill bins I lost all my footage and I basically took all of those items and I put them in totes in My basement because I didn't have the footage and I needed new footage so that I could get Goodwill bins videos out. So those items pretty much were just in my basement and I have been bringing those to What not and selling them and I am almost I'm getting pretty close to being sold out of all of that Goodwill bin stuff Now am I making on what not what I would make on eBay? No For Poshmark or McCurry. No, I'm definitely selling items cheaper But I'm selling a larger quantity of items. I'm selling more for less So I may go on and sell a hundred items in one night Which I'm not gonna sell a hundred items in one day on eBay. So Just a totally different Mindset so if you want to check out how what not works I do have a video that shows you how to list or have a show on what not and then I also have a Video that shows you how to ship on what not so those are great videos if you Watch them and you think you want to become a what not seller I do have a link down in the description After you join with my referral link to get $15 to shop and you become like able to buy come back to my Sorry talking and multitasking come back to my description and click on the one that says that you want to sell on what not and Use that referral link and it will tell what not that I referred you and it could help you get accepted quicker So check those links out alright you guys so I have now completed 28 items 14 items to Mercari and 14 items to Poshmark So let's go over here and let's say I want to do some more Should we do some more? Let's do like five more So I'm just gonna change these and again this right here what I'm doing if you were in the catalog You could bypass this step. This is something that Would already be done you would take care of this when you Put it into the list perfectly catalog So it takes me longer because I'm not using the catalog So I will tell you guys that over and over and over again because the catalog is awesome All right, here we go. So we're gonna do what five items five items, so I'm gonna go back up here and I'm gonna click on the Actually, I can just click on that there we go and let's find the five I did this one this one three four and five and Then I'm gonna hit actions Poshmark and Mercari is already highlighted I'm gonna hit copy and now it is gonna load These five items to Poshmark and Mercari so really it's loading 10 items So we're gonna go let those load. I usually wait until everything is loaded before I start trying to add information in so We'll let those load for a minute and Then I will start cross posting like I did the other ones and thanks you guys so much for being here and hanging out with me while I cross post it gives me somebody to talk to while I'm Doing this a lot of times when my items are loading if I'm not making a video I will send offers That's a great time to send offers when your items are loading Sometimes I do a bunch at a time. I'm only doing five right now. I just did 14 which was actually 28 I don't know. I think I've done 50 before which is actually a hundred tabs that pull up So while a hundred tabs are pulling up. I am busy cross post or not cross posting sending offers so that is just a good way to Pudge animals, I'm like, what is this thing called to? Multitask, I'm always about multitasking. How much can I get done in the same amount of time? That makes sense Use your time wisely. Is this guy green? He is green. All right Time is money. Whoa. No, not 3,000 time is money. See they're suggesting I put this at 31 So maybe he sells for more over here. So I'm gonna listen. I will listen if it's higher, but not if it's lower That's funny, right All right, so he is up in good and it's probably some one of the bigger ones that goes for more Who knows? I'm not gonna look. I'm just gonna list it and If you watch me, what do I say list it and forget it? That's what I'm gonna do Alrighty, we're gonna Change this to 25. We're gonna hit next and there it is Okay, now it's on Poshmark Now we're gonna go back up and we're gonna list this Mercat. It's a Mercat. Is that how you spell Mercat? Is Mercat two E's?  I don't like it. I don't want them to decrease my price I want to decrease my price A lot of people use smart pricing Let me know down in the comments if you use it or if you do not use it There you go. That's what your comment can be Kids toys Stuffed animals. No, it's not new And We go Next We're gonna turn off Facebook because I do not list anything to my wall on Facebook Could you imagine how annoying that would be to my Facebook friends? They would be like, are you kidding me now? If you I don't know can you do it if you have like a Facebook group?

Aaron judge made a comment and Brett Gardner is the one who actually started it He had two home runs yesterday They said we're gonna we're gonna break the home run record from last year, which was 267 and then gardener. So oh, yeah Judged so absolutely. I mean with the big boys we have we're gonna do it. I think they will I mean, that's the way the sport is but I'm not quite sure That that is the ticket to a championship and I think that one of the concessions to what I'm saying What a lot of people saying is that the Yankee signed DJ LeMay you DJ LeMay you is not your typical Yankee player. It's not a well on bail guy. He's not a launch angle guy He's the guy who's won a batting title takes the ball right field now He will hit a share home runs especially because the right field at Yankee Stadium But if you want to take a look And Reggie Jackson said this not Michael Kay During the hour we had after the game was rained out the other day. He said You got to change the way you hit in the postseason in big moments. He said our guys don't do that He said we have to learn to do that Marcus Tim's is supposedly trying to teach them that but if you change the way you hit Don then you are not going to break the home run record But it might be better for the long haul now for a hundred and sixty two game season You're the most home runs and they're very good pitching and great relievers They're gonna win a lot of games But in the postseason when you have the best pitchers opposing you and most home runs come on Mistakes from pitchers. You're not going to get as many mistakes. You're not going to get as many home runs You've got to make contact. You've got to move runners. You've got to drive them in I don't think the home run record is a thing that will propel them to a championship I just don't know unless you can make the adjustment going from the regular season to the postseason Can you do that? Can you are we're gonna bash our way similar to the Red Sox last year Red Sox bash their way to a division title and then they got to the playoffs and they still use their offense But they also made adjustments had quality at bats. Can you make that change? Because the Red Sox even were different during the regular season Well, they were more of a contact-hitting team They didn't strike out as much as the Yankees did right But they're also a team that didn't like he'd hit the least amount of home runs the year before right So even though they added JD Martinez They still weren't the home run hitting team that the Yankees are gonna be when they were your second year with Stanton and judge a lot of these Guys are home run hitters But what I'm asking is in that game four against the Red Sox When everybody was looking to hit the game-winning home run a base hit would have done the trick there, right? What have would have had Kimberl on rabble and I thought that Sanchez and Stanton if memory serves had a bats where I Don't think they really had quality at bats Sanchez came close to hitting it out But maybe if you just make contact hit the ball up the middle get a single extend the game That's when the Yankees are always at their best when they won four out of five championships has passed the baton, right? I'm gonna get on base the next guy's gonna do it the next guy doesn't do it The guy after that will do it not just waiting for the base is clearing home run You know the old Earl Weaver were gonna hit three run home runs He didn't want little pesky guys on the base paths getting thrown out I'm not saying you got to steal or bunt, but what's the matter with a good quality two strike? Choke up hit the ball the other way move the runner over kind of at bats that can help you win low-scoring baseball games And it could be done again Reggie Jackson a first battled hall of famer who struck out more than any player in the history of baseball his career of strikeouts He said that he would put the ball and play to the shortstop in big moments So if a guy who led the majors in strikeouts when strikeouts were not cool If he was doing that Why can't other people do it? It can be done. Well, it can be done.  Sure We just do it. Excuse me nothing Is there a is there a situation in which you can be a team that mostly hits home runs, but throughout the regular season Based on pitching situation say Tonight we're gonna play this game differently So you can start to get yourself in that mentality because when you get to the playoffs And everything tightens up it just seems to be such a disadvantage to be that team I just think the analytics play against that because to the analytics not caring of a strikeout Your your approach at o2 is the same at 3o And I always was taught michael you the same thing when you played it You know protect the play you just changed your bat when I let you go behind I would literally swing at a ball six feet over my head if there are two strikes that in atlantic Analytics does misses that and analytics will not tell you because they don't include pressure So the Yankees go to the playoffs every single year And always get eliminated in the playoffs and every year the analytics would say keep doing what you're doing Right because it wouldn't account for what the playoffs are This is where we get into the whole baseball a game has heart a game has a heartbeat all pulse all those things You can't account for that. It's not the same thing. And again, I repeat this and I always say it a lot Just being around baseball as much as I have been that home runs come off mistakes Very rarely does a pitcher make his pitch and the guy at home run Maybe Yankees stadium every now and then you have a nasty slider down and away a righty reaches out Short right field porch. It goes away, but it doesn't happen that often I think you've got to adjust and in answer to your question peter I don't think you do it from game to game Has to be a mindset and I'm not saying give up at bats I'm not saying change your launch angle, but at least with two strikes change what you do That's all you're asking and the analytic crowd. I'd love to debate somebody if anybody wants to come on You know, I'd rather have a strike out than a double play But that's not the only thing that could happen You get a sack fly a guy could boot a ball if you strike out nothing good Would you rather have a strike out than a double play if there's the bases are loaded and they're no out And the double they'd rather have a strike out they'd get the run Yes, because there's some games and that's the whole that's it But the logic is If I'm going to protect the plate with two strikes if I'm going to change my approach and just make contact My odds of hitting a home run are reduced dramatically If I'm thinking about hitting the home run. Yeah, I'm going to strike out. That's the negative byproduct But my chance of hitting home runner way up So what is what do mark de charro? We say hit over the shift instead of you know dragging one down with nobody sitting there at third base My idea is I'm approaching every a bat launch it out of the ballpark Then it doesn't matter where everybody is situated. Yes I'm going to raise my chance of striking out But the idea is to hit the home run hit them where they ain't was the old story Hit them and there ain't a lot easier when you're hitting it out of the ballpark. Nobody can catch it So that's their logic So you're looking at it the other way of you want to make contact They just want to hit the home run because that idea though. It sounds great hit it over the shift If you have an amazing year doing that amazing one of the best in baseball you did it 40 times If you if you were amazing at it, right you did it 40 times. What happened all the other times Sounds great But hitting it the other way being able to just tony guiney and choke up and hit a little base hit I just don't I don't get it Yeah, but but the thing is is that we're talking about players One of them just signed a 13 year 330 million dollar contract about in under 250 So they're looking at i've got a 25 chance of making contact But of those 25 i've got over a 50 chance of hitting it out because what's the game become walks in home runs Extra base hits nobody wants a single anymore. It's almost worthless to most of them So how many extra base hits we're paying people a non-base percentage plus slugging total bases These are the things they're looking at so Yeah, they're hit, you know gary sanchez is starting playoff games batting 170 which means he gets a hit 17 percent of the time But how much of the 17 percent are home runs michael 50 They they 45 they look at damage and I get it I understand and over the long stretch of the season you are going to win a lot of games by hitting a lot of home runs But I think the the short post season series changes the way the game is played And you know, you could go back to 2017 though You know you played the same way And they went to the seventh game of the alcs, but remember They didn't score That many runs in games six and seven when they had to because they were looking to hit home runs up Justin all their shut down and they just couldn't do it So there's got to be a way to squeeze out a run here and there So I agree with what Aaron jut said they are going to hit more home runs But the question is will they do the other things as well?

Miles Morales isn't Spider-Man, is an argument that I've seen floating around the Twitter space And I've more than just tweeted about once and called it a day I've tweeted about it enough to end up in a video by a popular comic youtuber just some guy In fact this video is basically going to be a response to his video But before I continue I suggest you watch his video first and do so without being toxic towards him or his fan base If you do watch it, I recommend you only comment until after the video is done I want to keep this a civil argument despite my tendency to fly off the handle of people on Twitter YouTube is a different game and starting beef with other content creators in their communities will lead to needless infighting within the community While on Twitter, you're most likely just gonna be having an insult match with one or two people Also before I continue I want to be very clear that I did make an offhand comment about this video before watching it And therefore yes, that would mean I am asking my audience to not repeat that same error. That's my bad I'll own up to it. I thought the whole video is about my tweet before I heard it Let's finally get to the breakdown. Okay, so right off the bat guy says that Miles Morales is not Spider-Man If he were Spider-Man, he wouldn't have to keep telling us Before I actually get to arguing the main bits of this I want to quickly poke a hole in this way of thinking if I went up to you and Told you that Spider-Man's costume is entirely green your response would be No, it is not if I repeated that his costume was green over and over and you kept telling me it is not and I Decided to respond with Spider-Man's costume is green and if it was not green You would not have to keep telling us no matter who's in the right or wrong in this scenario if one side has to keep Repeating what they are saying that doesn't automatically prove whatever they are saying to be false This argument doesn't have any ties to any side either if anything I could turn this around on the other side of the aisle Miles Morales is Spider-Man if he weren't Spider-Man you wouldn't have to keep telling us that he isn't now before I get to the rest of this video. Don't hold your breath. There's no sponsorship coming. Don't worry I just I just took a pause to scare you unless it's square spit I have to address what my beliefs about this topic are I believe that Miles Morales is Spider-Man and I believe that most people who say he is Know that he is not the original Spider-Man. That is obviously Peter Parker No one within their right mind is going to tell you otherwise Guy goes on to say in this video that he knows Miles Morales isn't Spider-Man Because we call him Miles Morales not Spider-Man Miles Morales isn't Spider-Man How do I know because you call him Miles Morales and not Spider-Man? This line of thinking doesn't necessarily prove anything either. You see for every alternate version of Spider-Man There's a quick alteration or addition to the name to distinguish them from their original Peter Parker's title of just plainly Spider-Man Miguel O'Hara is Spider-Man 2099 because he comes from the year 2099 Hobart Brown is Spider-Punk not because he isn't a Spider-Man But because he's a punk rocker plus Spider-Man punk doesn't really roll off the tongue Spider-Man Miles Morales is What he is called because he is Spider-Man, but his name is really Miles Morales and They didn't come up with too cool of an alteration to the original Spider-Man name for him to use unless it's kid arachnid, but If a toy of Miles Morales is sold as a toy of Miles Morales, it's because that's what he's called to differentiate him from Peter Not because he isn't Spider-Man these characters are all undoubtedly Spider-Man We only call Miles Morales Miles Morales because that is how we address the specific version of Spider-Man so that people know What we're talking about. This is why Spider-Man 2099 is commonly addressed as just 2099 or Miguel Not because it's a moment of self-adminance that said characters in Spider-Man This even applies to Peter himself if I say Peter Parker You might think of any of the movie versions the one from the comics or even video games or shows But if I say Peter be Parker you immediately think of my favorite movie version of the character Not because he isn't Spidey But because you know what I am talking about much quicker if I refer to him as Peter be Parker If I tell you to think about Spider-Man, you're obviously gonna think about this guy not this one Just because they're referred to differently that doesn't mean they still can't fit under the classification of Spider-Man But what makes them fit under the classification of Spider-Man? Well, I believe it's two things What does Spider-Man do? He climbs walls. He shoots webs. He has a high sense of awareness He helps people and he's pretty damn strong These are all things that Miles Morales does along with almost every other person who has in some shape or form Fit under the mantle of Spider-Man, but who says Spider-Man is a mantle a classification or a group Why is he now a group of people as opposed to one because these people have clearly made it so The amazing Spider-Man is commonly known as 616 Peter Parker He cannot be ultimate Spider-Man because ultimate Spider-Man is ultimate Spider-Man who is Peter Parker from Earth 1610 and that is how you tell the difference between these two Even Peter Parker has his own alterations and titles that help him differentiate even from different versions of himself Hell even when Miles took over the ultimate continuity as Spider-Man the title went from ultimate Spider-Man to ultimate comics Spider-Man Sensational Spider-Man? That's not Peter. That's Ben Riley a clone of Spider-Man How do you know? Because he's referred to differently as Sensational Spider-Man Even if you say that Miles isn't Spider-Man because we don't immediately refer to him as such This doesn't mean that the person we're talking about isn't Spider-Man We don't have to prove this because it's already been set in stone for the people who keep us in our mother's basements Marvel Comics you can say all you want that Marvel character Miles Morales isn't Spider-Man But at the end of the day, he's a Marvel character if Marvel makes a choice about a character Then that's how it is the entire reason we complain about everything They do is because we are powerless to change the choices. They make with their characters good or bad if Marvel says Miles Morales is Spider-Man then he is such that doesn't mean that Peter isn't Spider-Man It just means that Miles is also Spider-Man just a different one It's not us making Marvel change Spider-Man from being one character into a group of characters It's Marvel doing it when we tell you that Miles is Spider-Man We're telling you that Miles is Spider-Man because that's just how it is You're probably wondering where just some guy's commentary has gone in my video I've only responded to the two points he's made so far And it might feel like I haven't given him time to breathe or even address his counter points But if you watch the video before mine like I told you to because my fan base always listens to me And they never ever ever do anything I tell them not to That was a lie You'd find out that guy just states his point about how we call him Miles And that's how we know he isn't Spider-Man But then moves on to talk about how Miles is just a token character and how that somehow proves that he isn't Spider-Man I'll play the clip for you Miles Morales isn't Spider-Man How do I know because you call him Miles Morales and not Spider-Man Miles has been around for a little over 10 years He's a pinnacle of talking characters and the proof lies in him being completely unremarkable in Spider-Man's first 10 years We got most of the major stories He's known for the Green Goblin saga the death of Gwen Stacy the sinister six and so on in Miles 10 years We've got what honestly what are his major story arcs I'm a comic book fan. I know the important moments in plenty of character stories. I've never read I don't know any of his despite people talking about Miles constantly. What are his major story arcs? What are his character defining moments? Oh, what is his character? This isn't a digger insult towards guy Nothing I say in this video is meant to be as such and I want to make that very clear He makes a single point about how I address a character and seemingly proceeds to back up his point with his Problems with the character relating to him being a quote-unquote token character One could say that these two arguments are related But they really aren't classifying whether a character is Spider-Man or not has nothing to do with your opinions or beliefs about said character If I hate Miles Morales That doesn't change that he's Spider-Man because not only does he tick the boxes that make him a Spider-Man themed hero But also because the company who made him says so even if they market him as Miles Morales to keep you from Confusing him with Peter Parker the original Spider-Man We'll come back to his feelings on the character later in this video I feel like the people who fight so hard for the point guy fights for are so against the idea of Miles being Spider-Man That they've forgotten that Marvel has literally set this idea in stone for now If you believe Miles isn't Spider-Man, that's kind of too bad. He is Saying he isn't over and over and over again will not change the reality The argument doesn't even affect Miles Morales alone if Miles can't be Spider-Man because he isn't Peter Then no one else can either Fan favorite Spider-Man 2099. He can't be Spider-Man Even if people love his stories and don't see him as a token character Any potential else world that wants to put a new person under the mask to tell a new and potentially interesting story Sure, but they can't be Spider-Man All we can have is this one guy and this is the only Spider-Man we can have and no more And I think the reality is is that's just Less interesting the classic trope of the copycat superhero is fun to explore Not just for other versions of Spider-Man, but for Peter as well How does Peter interact with this new Spider-Man? Does he disagree with their methods?  Does he like them? Does he approve of someone else being Spider-Man? Does he not? These are fun ideas to explore that can be tied back to the original character people love so much Via the use of more Spider-Man Let's get back to what just some guy is saying He goes on to argue that Miles has been completely unremarkable in the last ten years And the proof lies in him being completely unremarkable in Spider-Man's first ten years We got most of the major stories He's known for the Green Goblin saga the death of Gwen Stacy the sinister six and so on in Miles ten years We've got What honestly, what are his major story arcs? Well, I haven't read the original Miles run since I was younger So I decided to get into contact with someone who has Jonathan or JP money one nine nine on Twitter He is a huge Miles fan and him and I were able to work together to sum up most of Miles major character arcs from his comics Miles Morales is a young kid in Brooklyn who wins a lottery getting him into a more academic schooling environment Miles is reluctant as this places the burden of huge expectations on his shoulders Miles is then bitten by a radioactive spider while trying to take a load off with his uncle Who stole this spider in the first place as the prowler? Miles reluctantly decides to use these powers for good for one outing and then decides he isn't the guy to do it The real Spider-Man is despite how much Miles is best friend Ganké thinks he should But when Miles hears of an event involving Spider-Man, he rushes over to help. It was too late Miles believes it was his fault and his reluctance stopped him from saving Peter But Ganké concludes that maybe Peter dying was the moment Miles needed to justify being Spider-Man from that point on Miles stories about fighting to prove that he can be Spider-Man Whether it's proving it to himself by fighting his own insecurities Peter's loved ones the Avengers Shield or even his father his struggle is to prove to everyone that he is capable of meeting the expectations set Upon him he goes on to lose his abusive cat burglar uncle prowler His own mother dies and he has to wonder how to go on being Spider-Man When it's tough without the original Spider-Man being there to help him Miles has to find solace in those around him his remaining family or friends who know or find out that he is Spider-Man and work with him to give him advice and help Miles is different in the way that he's not as smart as Peter is But his shortcomings are made up for because he has family and friends to lean on when it gets hard He's not like Peter where he has to take the weight of all the world onto his shoulders all alone He has a lovable cast of characters that will be there for him when he can't do it alone That's just the first few issues of his run. Those are the major story arcs that guy is looking for Guy then goes on to mention that Miles is such a blank slate that Marvel produced several what-if stories where Miles Becomes another superhero. He's such a blank slate that Marvel comics did a what-if series where miles took on different characters names What if Miles was Captain America? What if Miles was Thor and if you got more with that you could always read his regular book What if Miles was Spider-Man? Miles being a quote-unquote blank slate is not the reason they did this Marvel did this because self-expression became a core tenet of Miles's character in the film Spider-Man into the spider-verse The writers on spider-verse decided to improve Miles by giving him his own hobby a way to express himself via graffiti art This change gives Miles a concrete way to distinguish himself even further from Peter as his art becomes his own form of self-expression This self-expression is what makes him spider-man when he takes the original spider-man suit and spray paints it into a new design That's his way of taking the mantle of spider-man and doing it his way This is his way of saying that he is Miles Morales first Spider-man second yet still spider-man nonetheless This idea of self-expression is carried over into other adaptations of the character and even the video game where the tagline isn't to be greater It's to be yourself and this idea is poorly carried out by Marvel within these what-if stories where miles Expresses himself just through other superhero mantles this idea sucks, and I'm telling you why I think Marvel did it I don't think it's because miles is a blank slate Guy continues his video by continuing to claim that miles was only created to be a black character and nothing else And that his only defining character trait is that he is black and I mean At this point it's just kind of wrong I don't really know if guy is fairly given miles the benefit of it even exploring his character or even properly Explaining miles his character or at least what miles his character writing tries to be in his video He just keeps asking for miles to not have stories tied to his race which miles has The video game the movie are the most popular adaptations of this character and neither of them use race as a plot point I'm aware that there is a BLM sign in the game But it is not related to the plot in my honest opinion Just some guy in this video provides a surface level view on miles as a character and boiling down the issue Back into the fact he's a black character and not instead closely dissecting his stories to point out their issues Guy, I hope you watch this video, and I also hope you don't mind me calling you guy at this entire time But anyway, I hope you watch not because I want to own you in an argument or whatever But because I wanted you to watch a video where you didn't have to put up with me braiding you or Acting like a fool while splashing some off-hand comments in between some kind of decent points I wanted to make a video where I've really thought about everything you said and addressed that and only that If you make a rebuttal, I would hope you do the same And I asked that my community learn from my mistake about not being a civil at first And I'll be taking actions to restrict those who don't from my fan base Even if you find Marvel's efforts to define Miles as character is shallow or Unadequate or just bad It doesn't change the fact that he is Spider-Man, whether you like the character or not. This isn't really something that can be argued about Miles Morales is Spider-Man And that's not really anything we can change right now So instead of arguing about whether he is or isn't why don't we think about ideas that could make him better instead?


What's up YouTube, today's video is going to be a little different. I wanted to start a recurring segment on my channel called Wet Read, in which I talked about current events in medicine and radiology. On today's video we are going to be discussing an interesting topic that has been in the news lately, and that topic happens to be vaping related respiratory illness. There have been at least 16 states who reported 200 cases and what the CDC is describing as severe unexplained respiratory symptoms after e-cigarette use or vaping, also referred to as vaping related pulmonary illness. The majority of these patients are teenagers and young adults with symptoms ranging in severity. There has also been one death reported thus far. The CDC is not entirely sure what is causing this illness, but it doesn't appear to be an infectious disease. A lot of the cases appear to be linked with some sort of e-cigarette product use, but there is ongoing investigations on this matter. So what are the signs and symptoms? Well, they can be pretty general and nonspecific. For example, trouble breathing, worsening cough over days to weeks. Other symptoms may include fever, chest pain, weight loss, nausea, and diarrhea, just to name a few. So let's get to the good stuff. What do we see on imaging? Well, it's pretty nonspecific and general like the symptoms. As you see right here in this chest x-ray, you see bilateral ground glass opacities or bilateral infiltrates. I don't use that term, but there are bilateral opacities in the lung fields, which can be pretty much anything. Now let's get over to the CT chest. As you see right here, again, the findings are pretty nonspecific. We have bilateral diffused ground glass opacities, which can be seen in a number of different disease processes such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, ARDS, just to name a few. So what does this all mean? Well, currently the cause is unclear. Is it the nicotine cartridges? Is it the vapor itself? Is it the THC-containing solution? Nobody really knows. All we know is that there is a recent spike in lung-related illnesses in people who vape or use e-cigarettes, and the investigation is still ongoing. Little research has been done on vaping, given that it's still a relatively new thing. But what we do know is that there have been harmful ingredients or chemicals identified within these vape solutions. No specific ingredient has been linked to this outbreak, but what we do know is that e-cigarettes are not harmless. So what should you do?  That concludes this episode of Wet Read.

So one of our members recently posted about a man whom she met who seems like a really great guy except he has some issues with his hygiene and his and his car is filthy So I wanted to lean into this conversation because I once had a therapist tell me that That behaviors can be modified Personality can't be changed so in this particular case a man who has weak hygiene and a dirty car is a Behavior and that is certainly something that can be changed over time The real challenge is are they really going to change those behaviors because quite frankly? I think cleanliness both in one's hygiene and certainly the way they present their home the way they present their car Gives you an indication of how cluttered their life might be or how Unclean their life might be The thing is though there are circumstances where a person can change so for example when I moved in with my sweetheart There's a picture of her and I right there, you know, I wasn't always the cleanest person I wouldn't always put things away when you live by yourself You might have a habit of leaving the dishes unclean for a day or two. That was my habit Although I always made my bed And and when we moved in together that was something that she made a request that we always before we go to bed Make sure we wake up to a clean kitchen kitchen So that was certainly something I could change or I could certainly modify in my life as a request for my partner But when we talk about the differences between Modifying a behavior versus changing a personality the reality is is there are some personality traits that it's not our Responsibility to change for them nor are they even capable of changing those personalities for example? narcissistic behavior Somebody who is self-centric self-centered more myopic in their life that they only focus on themselves That's a behavior. That's going to require a tremendous amount or excuse me. Yeah, that's a that's a personality trait that's going to take a tremendous amount of individual work and Perspective work to actually begin to change that within someone's life So when we think about the dating mating and relating I want to differentiate between things like their character kindness fun and play Intentionality versus things like Okay, so those are things that were it's you know, someone's character isn't really a Generous person. It's very rare that they're going to change that part of their personality if they're not generous If they're not kind now the root of this might have happened from a childhood wound or trauma That makes it very difficult for them to actually lean into changing that Now the other thing that can't be changed is a person's height. Okay, that's something that can't be changed Their eye color can't be changed. However, someone's physical appearance can be changed In other words, a person can lose weight a person could start eating healthier. Those are things that actually can change So if you met a guy who's maybe a little bit pudgy, that's something that can be changed that can be modified By shifting diet. Okay. Now the thing is about the cleanliness, you know to me That's not a good sign. Is that a red flag? Yeah, that's a red flag because if a person hits 62 years old as in this particular case and unless it's situational where Maybe in the particular case that particular day. He didn't get a chance to shower He worked out and rushed out to see the person which I doubt that's the case You know, that could be a reflection of their hygiene or if their car was messy because they've just moved Someone they were helping move someone that could be situational However, my my senses these were certain behaviors for this person that is relatively ingrained Now the challenge with those of us in midlife is the older people get the more set they are in their ways and unless they have a Significant humbling event in their life When a man goes through a humbling invent in event in his life It might put him on a path of growth It might put him on a path of self-discovery or What oftentimes happens when people have a humbling event and they're unable to cope with that humbling event They begin to lean to drugs and alcohol as a way to Self-medicate a humbling event So for example in my particular case I had two major humbling events happen in my life in In when you know after going through a divorce I found myself I lost my quarter million dollar your job that directly affected my identity and in that humbling event I found that I was a My personality was a bit selfish even though I had a generous nature.  That's Connor When I my son passed away a huge humbling event It actually encouraged me to start exploring. What does it mean to love oneself? But more importantly, what does it mean to love others? This is why I wrote my book what the heck a self-love anyway a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work By the way, there's a link below to get a copy of my book By going through these experiences My my personality began to change my my behaviors began to change but I needed a significant humbling event So in the case of the person who's hygiene and a car isn't clean You know could be that maybe this person needs a wake-up call Maybe this person needs to be told like look, you know point blank in a kind loving way Say look Tim or whatever his name is you seem like a really good person with good character and I've noticed that You don't seem to take care of yourself both in your physical appearance and in the things you have in your life And it's okay if I ask you What's up with that? You know like it's okay by the way folks. It's okay to ask these questions It's okay to say I notice that you don't seem to take care of yourself from a cleanliness perspective And certainly your car seems like it's not something that's well kept. Can you share with me as it's coming up? Now in this particular case this person had a trauma in his childhood Where his mother I believe committed suicide when he was 16 years old Well, that's a traumatic event. It's not a humbling event It's a traumatic event and in that particular case and I don't know to the extent of healing and therapy He's done certainly. It's been something like 46 years since that experience It might have caused him to to withdraw within and not be capable of a significant relationship and then you have to ask yourself is This really a capacity of his hygiene and his car as an example Or is this something even deeply rooted in his incapacity to actually Be to care for someone else in his life because it seems like he doesn't care for himself Now might be that you bring this to his attention and he values you he might make a change. That's quite a possibility. I Highly doubt it though because it's such an ingrained part of his behavior But that's certainly a possibility just like when I started to clean the kitchen Every single night before we went to bed. We take turns by the way But deeply ingrained Behaviors are oftentimes either need a humbling event or it needs the awareness for this person to see Sometimes people aren't aware that that behavior within themselves is actually present So by merely bring it to his attention, it might shift the behavior might not But when we talk about personality folks, I think this is really critically important does their actions match their words That's a really important Aspect of a person's personality. Do they have victor consciousness or did they have victim consciousness? Sadly here in the United States. We are suckling on the nipple of victim consciousness It's easier to blame others instead of taking ownership for one's position in life. I Think another personality trait that's critically important is good conflict Resolution skills good conflict resume in other words if someone brings up an issue Do they have the capacity to listen to your point of view? Acknowledge your point of view and more importantly express their own point of view in a non Defensive way or at least not in a power struggle way because your point of view is true for you You know conflict resolution skills is one of the critically important personality traits for an effective healthy happy relationship in addition is is the ability to be Empathetic and empathetic isn't just I can feel your feelings empathetic is I care about my feelings too and more importantly Your feelings matter to me. That's a level of empathy and then transparency in one's life Can a person be transparent and what I mean to say is if something is material to the relationship it's important for couples to speak up and So in this particular case whether she's gone on with them a couple dates I think it's quite listen folks rather than have a passive approach to dating and relationships How about an intentional approach? That demonstrates a level of emotional maturity when you can approach the process from an intentional place What does that mean is we're like look we're spending time together to get to know one another Why are we getting to know one another? Why are we dating?  Do you want a day-in-day out relationship? Do you want a relationship where you spend time doing social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends? Traveling together teamwork building skills both in your personal and your professional life Intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy that leads to either living together getting married I guess you can live together apart too. Is that the purpose of why we're dating? I think ladies in particular. It's really important to really establish What's the purpose of dating someone dating is a vetting process to decide if this person's worthy of being in a relationship with them? You know, I had someone recently write me about moving too fast in the dating process Folks, I think we need to be moving fast And what I mean to say is spend a lot of time together in a relatively short period of time to determine if you're compatible with one another now alright, so you listen you take one month off to Basically explore another human being now we could call that monogamy if you're not having sex with other people We can call that exclusivity from some we can call that even commitment What's so wrong with that what's so wrong with making a commitment to someone for a 30-day period where you see each other a lot? To determine if you're a good fit for one another our current dating process could be a Six months to a year only to find out two people aren't compatible And if they'd actually spent more concentrated time together They would determine whether or not they're a good fit for one another. That's my invitation for folks Because you get to see these behaviors you get to see these personalities when we have a Occasional dating process when we're having long drawn out long distance relationships when people are spending more time on their Cell phones and there are face-to-face You don't really get to know a person the best way to get to know a person quickly is either go on a long trip with them Or live with them That's when you get to really know how another person operates and how two people can work together in relationship and So we look at these red flags as indicators of what will happen in the future and At the same time the best things to do when you see a red flag is address it because a red flag merely means Ask more questions and then within those questions You can determine if someone if something is a deal breaker for you Is this sinking in is this resonating? Please. Let me know Okay, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this video.

Are you going through life like a zombie? You wake up every morning without any energy.  Simple tasks take lots of effort and you wanna lie down all the time but resting never helps. If this sounds like you, you might be experiencing signs of depression which can leave you persistently exhausted. Here are six signs it's depression, not just tiredness. Number one, you're oversleeping. Do you sleep far more than usual? Most people sleep between seven and eight hours a night but if you have depression, disruptions in the neurotransmitters that regulate sleep might leave you sleeping for 10 or more hours per night. Even after sleeping for so long, you feel just as tired as before and still wanna nap more. Number two, you're undersleeping. On the other hand, do you sleep far less than usual? People with depression can have highly disturbed sleep patterns that lead to insomnia. If it takes you over an hour to get to sleep and you wake up constantly for no obvious reason, this could be another sign of depressive symptoms leaving you exhausted. Number three, nothing makes you happy anymore. Have you lost pleasure in activities you once enjoyed? A common symptom of depression is anhedonia which is the inability to feel pleasure in anything. Your most cherished pastimes become meaningless shores that you're too tired to deal with. Nothing chews you up or even interests you. Number four, you've lost appetite and weight. Do cooking and eating feel like burdens? Depression can turn daily tasks into great difficulties and reduce your desire to eat leading to dramatically less food consumption and unhealthy weight loss. This can become a vicious cycle. You're too tired to cook and eat which reduces the energy you consume which makes you even more tired. Number five, you've gained appetite and weight.  Depression can intensify specific food cravings that can feel like the only pleasure in life but they never really satisfy you and you're always wanting more. This often leads to unhealthy weight gain that can feel out of control. And number six, you constantly feel sadness and guilt. If the previous signs sounded familiar, how did you feel about them? Depression often overwhelms you with feelings of sadness and guilt that pile on obsessive negative judgments about yourself. You experience exhaustion and call yourself lazy.    You achieve nothing and call yourself unproductive. These constant judgments sap your energy and make you even more tired. Do you relate to any of these symptoms mentioned in the video?
