Purple. Purple. Purple. Uh... PULP! Purple. You know, this stuff! I did a video on my favorite color green a while back and I asked you guys if you wanted to follow up about my second favorite color. Can you guess what it is? If your number one favorite color is purple, the internet says you are sensitive and compassionate, understanding and supportive, thinking of others before yourself. This here is my mum's favorite color and since you guys don't know her, this is a pretty good way to sum her up. You can be secretive, even with your closest friends not knowing you well. What are you hiding? It better be a pet dog. Oh man, picture this. A nine-year-old girl sitting in class, minding her business. Then a teacher appearing out of nowhere and announcing something along the lines of Oh! A purple pencil case, purple stationery and a purple book! It's pretty obvious what your favorite color is. Oh, haha. Um, my favorite color is green. But even now I still get questions like, uh, why is your character more purple than green? Do I honestly need to keep showing this embarrassment of a first character design? I think purple is more appropriate for me. Random purple, fun fact number one. It is a royal color. Let me explain. Back in the old days when people could only access natural dyes, purple was by far the hardest to obtain. They got the color out of mucus glands of sea snails. Yep, snail mucus! More than 10,000 snails were needed just to make one tiny gram of purple. This was a time-consuming and expensive process, hence why the royals only decked out their rooms with this color. Some of you guys might know I actually have purple hair. Well, had purple hair. It's got a bit of green going on now. But I had purple for over two years. It was my first time dyeing my hair, and I got it in a balayage style, so it gradually went up to my natural hair on top. Want to know something else that's purple? My cheek! Sometimes. Two nights in a row I had woken up to find purple smudges across my face. What could this be? Well, it was a good sleep, that's for sure. I literally dribbled down my face, into my hair, and some of the color washed out, and onto my skin? What?! Jess, why does your character not have purple or green hair? Since you said you have colored it. But it's still brown, brown, brown, brown, brown, brown, brown. That's a valid question. I knew my purple hair wouldn't last forever, and this green face probably won't either. I'll always have brown to go back to though. Can you smell that? It's the fresh spring air. It's autumn where I am in Australia, but most of my viewers are from the US, so let's run with it. Ah yes, spring is in the air. Oh, but what is that? It's in the air. It's falling? All right! I've done a little spring cleaning on my merch store, and while I was at it, I added a couple new items for you guys. First up, the falling circles design on a short sleeve t-shirt. Magnificent! This is one of my most simple products I've made yet, but it's also one of my all-time favorites. Boom! Wobbly boy nation! And finally, a fan favorite is finally back in stock, the Jelly Jess sticker sheet. Love a sticker.  I feel ya. Link is below if you guys would like to check out these bad boys. Thanks so much for always showing support for merch drops like these. I hope you guys like them. One time my family and I traveled to the bottom of Australia, aka this little place here called Tasmania. My mum is obsessed with anything lavender related, so we for sure had to visit the massive lavender fields while we were there. Whilst waiting in the entry line, my mum was looking at their gift ware and noticed this cute, small bear, lavender soap. Hey Jess, sniff this! What have you done? I get pretty severe hay fever, so being around all that lavender in the first place was a disaster waiting to happen, but having lavender literally shoved at my nose? Photos of me on this day really do be looking like... We also got to try a lavender flavoured ice cream, cake and a milkshake. How wacky! The ice cream was definitely the highlight. Random purple fun fact to number two! Carrots were originally purple. Somewhere in the timeline, there was a mutation where it caused all the purple pigment to leave and the classic orange carrots to take over. Purple carrots still exist, of course, but it seems like they're only available in much more limited places, so yeah. Get amongst it or something, I dunno. Purple characters, let's go! We got the blob from McDonald's. Um, good start. His name is Grimace. Next, Isma, Tinky Winky, Evil Minion, Cher Bear, Walla Luigi, Leela, Barney, Count Fun Count.  Chef Elsa, Stu Pickles, Randall, Gengar, Gurgle the Fish, Lumpy Space Princess, and last but not least, can't forget... Wake up, Jeff. Random purple fun fact to number three! Dominica is the only country that has purple in their country's flag! Out of 195 countries! Ube cake! A traditional Filipino cake with a sponge-type texture. What makes it purple, though? Food coloring? Wrong, it is mashed up purple yam. My friend Angel brought some of this cake to high school once, and I got to taste it and... Te-he-hum. It was lit! A teacher then walked up to us. Whoa, is that purple cake? Yep. Om nom nom nom nom nom. Ah, yum. Speaking of food, I find it weird that there's actually a lot of food that are purple in color, but has a different color in its name. For example, blueberries, blackberries, red onion, red cabbage, red lettuce, black currant, etc. Where's the logic? Did you know that such thing is purple asparagus, sweet potato, cauliflower, carrots? You better know that one already. Corn, capsicum, and broccoli? Yeah! Sits when? If you've tried any of these purple variants, I'd love to read your reviews below, please. There are also some really pretty purple animals living on our planet, too. Just look at these birds, this snake, this starfish. Look at these fish! Look at em! But the cutest one of them all has to be the purple frog. Random purple fun fact number four. Some people believe like the word orange, the word purple doesn't rhyme with anything. Haha, false. A purple is the bottom strap of a saddle, a purple is the limp, and a nirpal is... No! Please no! This one's a bit random. But Fallout Boy's mania tour, quite the throwback. I got to see them live when they last toured Australia, and the show was amazing. They played a lot of older songs that I enjoy, but look at how it was visually. Now, I'm going to say a line, and I hope some people understand what I'm talking about. Are you ready? One-eyed, one-horned, sing it with me! Flying purple people, yeah! I swear every kindergarten class in Australia had to perform this song at school assemblies. I had a teacher that would always get in his feels when playing this song on his guitar. It was kind of like, stuff the kids, this is his solo performance. I'd also like to put out there that there is no bad shade of purple. They all get a gold star from me. Someone could vomit that lavender ice cream, and I'm sure it would look delicious. Yeah, maybe scrap that line. Random purple fun fact number five. Crying obsidian is the best block in all of Minecraft.  You okay? You want a tissue? Yes, please! If you guys have made it this far in the video, leave a comment below telling me what your favorite purple thing in the world is. Or, even better, let me know any characters I've forgotten to mention in this video. I'll respond to them over on my second channel, which the link is below.


Story is such an integral part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. It's why we have the longest surviving culture in the world. It's our stories that have survived. This project is a collaboration between Hunter Water, the University of Newcastle, Newcastle High School and our local Aboriginal community. And it's an illustrated storybook that empowers the next generation to value water as our most precious resource. Water is obviously one of our main resources and we sometimes take it for granted because we think it's going to be around forever but we just waste it a lot. The students from Newcastle High School wrote the story. So what we have is a story that's for children, by children and they're speaking to each other about the future of their water supply. The children, once the story was written, went off and worked with Studio Z, which is a work integrated learning project that runs out of creative industries. The main character is Eagle. He was trying to find out where the water was going and the kids followed the Eagle back to their home to see how it was affecting their environment and the Eagle kind of convinced them to go back to their city and to preserve water for their community basically. It's been really well received by the education community. The story is very unique because it's bringing together kids to make those critical decisions about looking after Mother Earth. It's not many like resources really that have a lot of Indigenous words. Even with me I don't really know any words so I'll be using this book to learn some. Having people from community involved in the project from the very beginning that's something that is very important for its success. Yeah collaboration is a very important part of traditional Aboriginal culture and this project emulates that cultural perspective and that collaboration has led to a very very positive outcome. A little boy can be like oh I want to be like Timmy and if he wants to be like Timmy Timmy's saving the water he's like oh yeah I want to save water too. Because if they're children they can do it why can't we it's the message we're trying to get across with the book.


Let's go for the challenge. Let's party on that right now. If you get a fan of people, I'll play on it. They're going to give you a comment. They're going to write a song on it. If you get a service, you benefit local agencies. There's something to do before we turn it back over to thank that in the film. That's the end of the message. Thank you all for coming to support those combat maneuvers. The adventure series, it is just a great movie. Go see it. Thank you.


I'm Shamsheed from Mauritius. I've convened my dad for his surgery at Manipal Hospitals in Bangalore. We arrived here about a week ago, while my dad had probably a shoulder at a rupture, and he had to come here for a reverse shoulder replacement, which was kind of a delicate surgery. And arriving at the airport itself, we were received by a driver from the hospital. We checked in to the international desk, which was quite of an ease and a breeze to go through. My life was made quite easy over here, because everything is just under one roof.  Under one roof you'll find everything, like from blood tests, scans, x-rays, everything. And also the apartment we had was just like just five minutes less than that walk away. For me, I could easily find myself in Bangalore, because climate-wise, accessibility, oh surprisingly as well, food, lovely. Every time I needed information, all I would do is just you know, even call like, call the international counter, and they would just give me the right information. The doctor came, told us about the surgery. Mr. Jaffer, aged 70 years, came to me from Mauritius with chronic right shoulder pain. So he sustained an injury to his right shoulder about two years back, when he was working on his automobile. An MRI showed a massive rotator cuff tear. Generally, we will be able to repair it arthroscopically. However, in his condition, the tendons were thinned out, and they were completely atrophic. Also because he's 70 years old, once you start getting older, chances of a muzzle and a tendon healing go down. He required a different kind of procedure, an advanced procedure. We call it reverse shoulder arthroplasty. So this is a unique surgery, because what this surgery does is, it takes your anatomy and it turns it down completely. When we operate, the ball of the shoulder is converted into a socket and then we convert the socket into a ball. In other words, we are reversing the anatomy. So hence the name reverse shoulder arthroplasty. This is a technically challenging and complex procedure, which has come into over from the past 10 to 15 years in the western world and about five years in India right now. With this surgery, we can bypass the rotator cuff muscles and involve other muscles in the shoulder to give him good range of motion. This will relieve his pain completely and he'll be able to carry out his daily activities, maybe even play golf and drive around his vehicles and two 24 hours after the surgery itself, it could literally eat, it could even walk.  Passed a couple of days after the surgery and I have never heard him once saying he's complaining about pain. Mr. Jaffer, he's already relieved of this pain and in a couple of weeks to months, he'll be starting his physiotherapy and he'll be regaining his complete range of motion. Manipal hospitals help us to make this routinely available to a lot of international patients. The hospitality which we offer, the range of services which are provided under a single umbrella, helps me to easily conduct the surgery and I can distance the patient within a single day. Dr. Shushal, the shoulder specialist we met, I mean from the first assessment it was really someone easy to communicate with and if he's someone who listens and I would say who takes much time even to explain how much he got into detail explaining to us the processes about the surgery. So that made us feel more confident.


Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, or welcome if you're new. And welcome back to Vlogmas. I don't even know what number this is now. So today instead of a vlog, I'm gonna share a client horror story, because by the time you're watching this video, I will be driving 10 hours from North Carolina to Pennsylvania, so gonna share a story instead. So this isn't like anything super crazy, it's just like one of the most recent things that happened to me that I just thought was kind of entertaining. One of my coworkers was going to be away on vacation, and one of her regular clients, who has been going to her for years, was about to also be out of town for like several months straight. So she came in, went to my coworker, you know her usual stylist, got her hair done, but she wanted to come back two weeks later, like a day before she was about to leave, because she wanted her hair to be as fresh as possible, since it was gonna be a while before she could come in for her next appointment. Cause she's one of those people that normally likes to come in like every, I don't know, six weeks or so. What she normally gets is a single process, so like permanent color on her roots, cause she does have gray. So she gets her grays covered with a permanent color, and then she also gets highlights throughout, and then a haircut. She has very short hair, the back is like shaved, and then it's short, kinda like the Karen cut, still short in the front, but like longer than the back, and then the back is like very, very tight short. So anyway, the appointment right before she was about to be gone, she couldn't go to her usual girl because my coworker, like I said, was about to be out of town. Let's give her a fake name for the sake of the story. Let's call her Jessica. So my coworker's trying to figure out who's gonna be able to shake Jessica because here's the thing. Jessica has been coming to the salon for years, but she is very particular. She's very particular with her hair. It's really hard to get it right. And even though she's been going to my coworker for so long and keeps coming back to her, but like even sometimes she gives her a hard time. Like there have been times where she had a total meltdown and freaked out on my coworker and like hated her hair, but then ended up loving it. I don't know. She's just one of those kinds of clients. Like she can be kind of unpredictable and she just has a really big personality. And I've heard about this client over time, but I never really had like experience with her myself. So I was like, I'll take this client, I'll do her hair because worst case scenario, I get a video out of it. And plus I'm like, okay, she just got her hair. She got all of those things just done two weeks ago.  That's fine. I'll make the extra money. Plus her hair is really short. So I know it like it's not gonna take me very long to do, but my coworker was a little bit nervous about the haircut part because like I said, this client is really particular. And the haircut specifically was something that took a while for them to get perfect. There's been issues when it comes to the haircut. It's been a whole journey. So I was like, yeah, you know, like I'm confident in my cutting skills, but I don't want to mess with that. Like you just cut it two weeks ago. I'm sure it's fine. So like tell her I'll do her color, but like let's not mess with the cut then. So my coworker told Jessica, okay, I'm gonna book you with Sam since I'm not gonna be in town, but she's great. She'll take good care of you. She has your formula. You guys are just gonna do the color though because I feel like your haircut will be good. She also booked a facial appointment right after her hair appointment for that same day. So anyway, Jessica comes in for the day of her appointment and immediately big personality. We do a quick little consultation and I'm like, well, you're happy with how your usual girl does everything, right? Like you're not looking to do anything different. We're just making sure that it's as fresh as possible before you leave. Yes, great, okay. So I mix up her root color. My coworker, she keeps like old school index cards with all of her clients and all of her formulas and she dates everything. And if she ever makes any changes, she updates the card. And she knew I was gonna be doing Jessica's hair. So she confirmed like, yes, what's on the card is up to date. And she includes also like the specific ratio too. So, you know, if it's like one quarter of this color plus half of this color and a quarter of this, like it's foolproof. So I pull out her card. I mix up the exact formula. I do her highlights. I just followed the same pattern that I could see my coworker was doing, applied the root color in between and everything seemed good. Everything was going fine. While her hair was processing, she like is one of those people that she can't sit still, which is fine. I mean, I get it. So she was just like off wandering around in the salon. Come time to rinse her color out. I cannot find her anywhere. I'm looking all around the salon because it's a pretty big, it's a salon and spa. So we have like a whole separate spa section. I'm looking all around, can't find her. I'm looking outside for her. So finally I find her, rinse the color out and my coworker didn't have a toner formula written down on Jessica's card. So I wasn't sure if she does a toner on her or if she, cause her hair lightened really beautifully.  The rest of it was just done two weeks ago. So it's still very, very fresh. So I'm like, it doesn't look like she gets a toner based on what her hair looks like when she first came in, based on the index card. So I think I just did purple shampoo and maybe I did, I think I did actually do a toner, but I just didn't do anything too dark or too ashy and I didn't leave it on for a long time.  It's not like we were doing gray blending. She gets permanent color to cover her roots and then puts highlights in between. So I'm not gonna tone her highlights to like a silvery color because then that defeats the purpose of covering the gray in the first place. You know what I mean? Everything seemed to be going really, really well up until this point. And I was like, I don't understand why nobody else really wanted to deal with doing her hair. I don't get why. Like she seems fine. She's great. We go back over to my station. I'm about to start blow-drying her. She asks me if I can cut her hair. Please, please, can you cut it? I know I wasn't down for a cut, but could you just like just clean up the back? Like just shave it really quick because I just don't want to feel anything touching my neck and I know because I'm gonna be gone for three months, my hair is gonna grow out and I just don't want it to. Like I want it to be as short as possible right before I leave. I was like, well, you're right. Technically you weren't down for a cut, but we do have a little bit of time since her hair is short. You know, it's not gonna take me super long at all to blow-dry. So I was like, we do have a few extra minutes before your facial. So I think that if that's what you want, I'm okay with that. We have time to do it still. And plus I'm like, well, if she is insisting on a haircut and I have the time to do it, why not do it? You know, it's extra money in my pocket. So yeah, sure. Now I can't just section out the front, buzz the back really quick and then that's it, leave it good to go. Like I have to blend it because I want the haircut to look good. If you're gonna have super short hair in the back and then it's longer in the front, there needs to be a transition in the middle. You know what I mean? It needs to all blend and make sense. So I did clippers in the back and I just followed what she already had. Then I took the trimmers, cleaned up her neckline. Then I took my regular shears and I was cutting to blend to make sure that there was like a nice, like it layered all nicely. Then I took my texturizing shears to make sure that everything was blended and really soft. I used four different tools to do this haircut. And yeah, it, I guess only took me about 10 minutes or so to do it all. And I didn't touch the front because she said she was happy with the length of the front. She was just concerned about the back. Totally fine. But again, in order for me to cut the back, it's not just a quick one step thing. I need to blend it all together. So I do that. She looks at it, feels it. She's happy, great. And I felt such a relief because knowing that the haircut, like I said, was like a big point of contention for her. I was like, nice. I nailed the cut. I start blow drying the front. She's saying that the highlights don't look ashy enough for her. She likes them to be really, really cool toned because her hair gets warm really fast. And she was like, I mean, it looks great. Like I love how it looks right now, but I just know my hair and especially because I'm gonna be out in the sun a lot. So I really just want them to be toned like super, super ashy and cool. So that way, as it lightens up, I want it to look like this in a few weeks. And then she was going on about how she can't use purple shampoo because I don't wanna get into too much detail because I don't, I'm trying to keep this anonymous. But because of what she does for work and where she's going to be during her time out of town, she can't use purple shampoo because it's gonna stain the shower, which doesn't make any sense. It's not true, weird, I don't know. But yeah, this whole rant about how, yeah, she can't use purple shampoo. So her hair is going to get really warm. So she needs it to be really ashy now. Which like, okay, sure, fair enough. I should have discussed that with her, I guess. I just didn't even think, if she was my client and coming to me for the first time and I wasn't just helping out my coworker and doing a very recent touch up, I would have been more thorough and I would have asked her like, okay, well, do you like the tone of blonde you have now or are you looking to change it at all? Although I did ask her, I was like, are you happy with the way your highlights look right now? She said yes. Anyway, I was like, okay, no problem. I can do the toner again and I can tone them more ashy and silver for you if that's what you want. Again, it felt counterintuitive because it's like, why are we covering your grays then? But whatever, shampoo the toner out, bring her back to the chair. At this point, we should be done, right? Because I've re-toned her highlights now, we did the haircut already. All I gotta do is blow dry her quick and she's done. So I blow dry her hair, she's looking at it, holding up the mirror, looking really, really close. And then she starts telling me the root color just looks different. Like I feel like it just looks like brassier than normal. Excuse me, are you kidding me? First of all, your roots were like a centimeter long. It's been two weeks since you last got it done. You didn't have that much root. So whatever you're looking at is what you already had before I touched your head. Also, I did the exact formula. Same exact ratio, same exact color that you always get, that your usual stylist does on you. So I told her all that. And I also said, well, now that you had me tone your highlights so ashy, anything next to it is going to look warmer in comparison. That's just like how color works. Like if you're wearing a shirt, that's technically like an off-white egg shell kind of color. And you hold it next to a bright white, pure white shirt, the off-white is gonna look really dingy and yellowy.  That's just the way it works. What you're seeing is also determined by what it's contrasting against.  I pulled up your note card. I can show it to you if you want. It's the exact same color, I promise. She's still messing with it. She's like, oh, okay. And then she was super nice at the end. She was like, I really appreciate you squeezing me in. Thank you so much. She's in the back getting her facial. I clean up. I made sure to update the front desk and let them know that we ended up doing a haircut as well. I leave before her facial finishes. The next day I come into work and I find out that Jessica paid for her appointment, you know, paid for the full thing, went home, all was good. But then either like the next morning or a few hours later, she called the salon back and asked for a partial refund because she claimed that she shouldn't have paid for the haircut since I just buzzed the back really quick, buzzed the back really quick and I didn't really technically do a full haircut on her. So she didn't think that she should have had to pay anything for that. Mind you, at the salon where I work, for certain color services, if you're getting a haircut at the same time, you get like a bundled package price. So you're not paying the same full price for a haircut. To add on a cut, it actually ends up being like a third of the price. And I originally wasn't gonna do a haircut at all. I didn't really want to because I was a little bit concerned about how it was gonna go knowing like the history. She asked if I could do it. I told her, yes, I have the time. I will do it for you. And I used four different tools. If I was just cleaning up her neckline and just taking like the trimmers and just cleaning like the little stubble around the perimeter, I wouldn't have added the haircut on. I wouldn't have charged anything for that because that literally takes two seconds and it's not a big deal. But what I did, it takes skill. It's not like that's something that anybody could have done or that she could have done herself at home or had her friend do for her. Sorry, my battery died. But yeah, so she was trying to get the haircut refunded not because she was unhappy with it. And she said that. She was like, oh, I'm happy with my hair. It looks great. But I just don't feel like I should have to pay for the cut. Like I was trying to help you out, Jessica. Because nobody else wanted to do your hair.  And even though it was supposed to just be like a shorter, easier appointment because she was just there a couple of weeks ago, it still ended up taking longer than the full amount of time because I had to go hunting for her while her hair was processing. Then I had to tone her twice. I had to explain to her about the root color. I had to do the haircut. And then you're trying to not pay. And the thing is, she knew. Like she was volunteering to come in two weeks after her last appointment. She knew that it was very soon and she wasn't gonna be necessarily due for anything. But she wanted to come in.  Like if you wanna just do the permanent color, just to tap on like the tiny little bit of grow out, let's just do that and not do the highlights. But she was insistent that she wanted the works. She wanted it all. She knew it was gonna cost full price because that's just the way that they do things where I work now. That's just the policy. That's the way they charge there. She's been going there for years. She knows that. She was aware of how much everything was gonna cost. She requested it. Like I'm sorry, I'm not gonna do work for free. Like especially you're not my friend, you're not my family member. I don't know you. You're not even my usual client. So why should I do you any favors? If I'm gonna do this work that you're asking for, then you're gonna pay for it. In the end, it ended up being fine. I got paid my full amount for the work that I did and I didn't hear any complaints after that. And I haven't seen her or had to deal with her. And I mean, she's fine. Like I wouldn't mind doing her hair again, honestly. But it was just one of those appointments where I was like, okay, I'm ready for this to be done now. So yeah, that's my Jessica story. Let me know down in the comments, what do you think? Cause I know that that's like a hot debate in the hair world. Like what's the difference between a full haircut and a trim and are they the same thing or should you charge differently for them? Do you think that Jessica was right? Should she not have been charged for a haircut? Let me know. But that is gonna be it for this video. Thank you guys so much for watching. I will see you tomorrow with a new hair tutorial and in two days for another vlog. Bye.


The ad tech industry has always been changing fast but is encountering massive changes and challenges in 2019. Hi, my name is Joshua and I'm chip strategy officer at BuzzFill and today I'm going to talk about four of the most important topics. One, 5G will accelerate the growth of video ads. The high bandwidth of 5G will enable the ad tech ecosystem to load as faster. Reducing the millisecond delay that usually makes the user move away from the site. By this year, only 4 million users will have 5G. By 2024, the number is projected to grow to 1.4 billion. The forms of advertising is also changing towards video or even a return form. It's important for advertisers to get a better understanding in how to manage the video ad campaigns in a smarter way. And publishers must come up with a strategy to own more video inventories as this will drive most of the growth in the digital ads market in the future. Two, only channel is the way to go. Here at BuzzFill, we can see when a TV commerce company runs a display ad on our lock screen platform and the same product is being sold on television. That is when they make the most sales. A recent Mary Weepers report showed that 88% are on a second digital device, Wide Evolution TV, searching what they are seeing or talking about it to friends. Another report shows that a digital user owns 3.2 connected devices on average. Marketers not only have deal with new forms of ad like the video but they have to be present on phones, computers, TVs, tablets and more. Marketers will have to integrate all of their data to understand what's going on in your time to take necessary actions. Three, users will start to actively manage how and where their data is used. With the passage of GDPR and more privacy nodes in the way, we have to ensure customer data is secure and managed with a full transparency. More and more users will be sensitive to how and where their data is being used in the ad tech industry and start to actively manage it. There will be a lot of businesses offering users a platform that gives them power and need to manage at a place without any hassle. This trend will be mostly driven by users' growing needs of managing their data and privacy nodes and relationships. Publishers and advertisers should take a closer look at the trend. What's possible today might not be possible tomorrow and it will require both parties to adapt to the new reality. Four, we should aim for a better ad experience for users. The ad industry has come a long way and programmatic-based advertisers should invent new. So they were able to over-saturate users' visitor experience with unwanted ads. Which led to increased use of ad welcome. It's time to clean that up. Everyone should know less is more. Fewer ads with better UX will not only perform better, but also will be the only option available for publishers in the future.

All right, let's let's get started. I know you had to come to school in the morning Well We don't have many opportunities. So if you have any complaints tell Katria blah for scheduling this course So early in the morning Somebody has to take these classes and on Friday. It's even worse. We started 830 40 All right Since I will be attending a Conference next week in Cairo So you will have time to sleep next Tuesday and Friday morning. So as I mean if you just check the syllabus I Indicated the days when we have class and the days when we don't have class because of these conferences and this is As I explained at the very beginning of the semester on a couple of occasions the reason why we have four hours a week For several weeks in order to be able to compensate for the classes that I will be missing Because of these very very important conferences that I will attend outside of Turkey So therefore whenever I'm not here you're free to sleep but when we have classes, please come to class and Listen to me and your friends who are making in comments or sharing any information with us very carefully, so Yeah, the Middle East Always been and still being and will most probably be In the future one of the most volatile regions in the world Maybe because it is the cradle of civilizations where Civilizations that we know now today We know today had their origins and as we mentioned You know we marked on the board Some of the major characteristics of the Middle East was that it hosted was the home of three Monotheists, I mean major religions Islam Christianity Judaism or in order of appearance Judaism Christianity and Islam So at Islam had of course at an impact on the politics of region Throughout the history, but maybe more so after the Islamic revolution in Iran Iran well, it has a very long history It is one of the major civilizations in the region and we Turks had deep relations with Iranians Persians of course having built civilizations throughout history Iranians today are very proud of themselves and That is one of the major major reasons why they have such a huge impact on the on the rest of the world and of course more so on the Gulf region, so this is important to bear in mind because We will be discussing the implications of Iran's foreign policy and security policy objectives one of which of course is its nuclear program which is One of the major issues that we will be dealing with during the semester in this course and As you are very well aware of it is the topic of the simulation That we will have at the end of the Semester so During the Shah period of course Iran was one of the major pillars of the United States was one of the major actors which the United States depended on with respect to containing containing the Soviet expansion Towards the Gulf and and towards the together with Turkey and Pakistan To form a belt with a view to containing Soviet expansion Towards the Indian Ocean Gulf oil oil rich sort of Middle East so The Shah of Iran first You know knew that it played a very important role for the United States and Wanted to exploit the situation to the extent possible by way of arming itself by way of Buying state-of-the-art Weaponry from the United States in addition to the political support that it was getting from the United States I'm not an expert on Iran. I mean I don't claim to be an expert on Iranian history or Iranian politics But since I have studied quite extensively and in depth for so many years for the last 15 years the Iranian The evolution of the Iranian nuclear program. It is of course It was unavoidable for me to do some research carry out research with respect to Iranian politics as to have this Nuclear program emerge as it emerged and evolved throughout the last you know three decades more specifically although it has its sources in the 1950s as part of or as a result of Isenover policy, I mean with respect to the region as well as with respect to the exploitation of Nectar energy But more specifically as we mentioned last time last Tuesday as one of the consequence of the Yom Kippur war which was the the enormous increase in the oil prices because of the oil embargo that was applied by you know oil producing Arab countries Against the United States and which eventually caused you know three times four times and even more Increased in the oil prices Iran is a major oil producing country benefit from the situation very much Iran was not part of the picture of in the during or during the Yom Kippur war because we're talking about Shah's period and Iran was just watching the situation and Of course trying to avoid it if any There should there be any negative implications for Iran's security But one positive very positive implication for Iran was the the sort of unexpected increased steep rise in the oil prices Three times four times five times over a period of two or three years and the sudden wealth that came out of the oil prompted Iran to embark on more armament and Procurement projects as well as advancing its nuclear program. So We'll talk about all this in very much detail later on. I'm not going to dwell on the nuclear program of Iran right now, but one major implication of this was that Iran even though an ally for the United States by the way it's a Loyalty to the US some in sometimes was questioned by some of the US Policymakers well this again another story that we'll be dealing with later on but this embarking on a nuclearization or advancing a nuclear program plus Procurement of large-scale arms arms the I mean With Western countries and more specific to United States cause certain concerns in the United States and also Israel Of course, I'm not saying that what happened in Iran was because of US or Israeli policies No, this is not the case, but certain things that Iran Certain policy that Iran in Shah Pursued had some consequences for the situation in the country domestic politics When I remember again from some archive, you know research that I carried out in the US National Security Archives I remember this Correspondence between Iran Shah and the US presidents Because he because Shah stayed in power for a long period and there were a number of US presidents with whom he had a correspondence especially Kennedy for instance Advised him quite frankly openly when Shah asked for more arms more weapons because he's so You know Nasser as a threat to Iran and also radicalization in the Arabian sort of our Middle East again something That would challenge Iranian position in the region and also there was this Soviet threat at all times as a constant so Every single bit of threat was seen as being as exaggerated by the US presidents and and when Shah asked for more arms and or and or More support financial political support from the United States the US presidents and as I said more specifically Kennedy advise him to be concerned more with the domestic political and specific economic situation in Iran rather than the international security environment around Iran so and And you know, I cannot exactly remember exactly what the sentence was but Kennedy says forget about the foreign and sort of outside threat but just confine your attention to the deterioration in the living standards of large populations because Iranian wealth Which rested upon the sudden increase in oil prices did not necessarily make everyone rich We're not talking about for instance Norway today Norway which a Norwegian colleague of mine said was a poor country until the 60s, but then once they sort of started to extract Oil gas in the North Sea they became a rich country But this richness this wealth was almost equally distributed among the Norwegian population If you had a chance to I don't know if there's anyone who had a chance to visit Norway But if you go there you will think that everyone is shopping the same store because there's more or less a large sort of middle class Maybe 80% of population are closed in terms of living standards and and income levels because the wealth that the country somehow acquired from trade and this and oil Etc is equally distributed, but there was definitely not the situation in Iran And there was of course a group of elite or aristocracy Closer to Shah and living in big cities and who were the major Constituent or seen as the major constituents of the Shah regime, but the situation which was declining in terms of Economic living standards in the rural area in the countryside which had no Benefits from the increase of oil wealth. So this of course and again Although I'm not claiming to be an Iran expert, but I know pretty much from my readings about Iran that there is certain coalition of different ethnic groups within Iran and therefore for instance, there are certain regions One of which is Kurdistan for instance within Iran and then there are these sort of a different ethnic groups within Iran which somehow learned to live together In in if not harmony, but you know with a certain degree of stability, but this started to be somehow disturbed with the you know This distance or the the gap between you know Or within the society as it became even larger, you know and people who have not been happy with the Changing situations of course started to exhibit their Feelings toward the regime and the Shah regime knew about you know using force for keeping Things under control, but after some time we have seen that this did not help and that you know there was this Revolts or demonstrations against regime which was started in the Suburban areas primarily and also within Tehran from the marketplace and this You know event started to Advance and every time Shah wanted to put a help to it by using force it actually somehow The things have aggravated. I mean the situation got even worse because People have never Quit their ambition to topple the regime. Well some people I mean when there were these elections Just You know recently in Iran and especially after the you know second time I made in a just you know state in power There were all these demonstrations in Iran and many people analysts people who made some comments on TVs or in their op-eds in their articles and sort of try to construct some sort of analogy between The events that led up To the toppling of Shah and they thought same would happen in Tehran or in Iran I just said that was not possible because the conditions did not exist and For reasons that we might maybe talk separately the resistance movement or the Demonstrations that have taken place in the Iranian streets just last year did not necessarily lead to the same Development which took place in 1970 eight seven and nine Many years ago. So then came the Islamic revolution Of course the Islamic revolution had an impact on The greater region and also in the world that you know sent shockwaves to the rest of the world and that was Indeed Sorry, oops That was indeed first time a country of this size of this caliber of such a weight in a head under gun such a radical development and of course if you are here in the Gulf as I always say The world is all about this region and what you see is almost and pretty much if not entirely uniquely, but To a great extent is wrong. So Iranian the changes in the Iranian politics Had implications not only for the closer or immediate Neighborhood but for the rest of the region and also for the rest of the world as we will study in a moment and Sorry for that. I can't we open this? All right. Yes. Here we go. This is what we see here the implications of Iranian Revolution for of course Iran and as we mentioned Iran is an example of a totalitarian regime because it Changed the entire lifestyle of the entire population. It imposes its own sort of rules for the Entire population. It's not just an authoritarian regime But also, you know something that deals with your entire life Of course in the first place as I try to explain with this picture here map the immediate or the first impact or the the first The preliminary shockwaves are first felt in the Gulf Because not because Iran is big and the Gulf countries was Saudi Arabia is big too but it is not densely populated and this is all desert and Of course full of oil and gas, but not because Iran is big and Gulf countries are small but you know, there is a revolution here which topples a monarch Shah was after all monarch And these regimes are monarchies Well, some of our friends in the Gulf. No, don't like this term monarchy But that's how we or most people understand as to what we mean We are not necessarily trying to insult anybody here, but these you know shake tones, you know Emirates here of course were pretty much concerned because They thought say what happened to their monarchies. They did not want to be Tumbled up, of course, no one in politics would like to lose his or her post because One major reason why people entering politics is not necessarily to help with the lives of the ordinary citizen Is just to advance their own position Well, some there are some people who might be sincere in their goals in entering politics and doing politics But most of the politicians of course have this ambition to come to power and once you get there you stay there This is you know, one of the major goals of pursuing a political career anyway, you know these people were of course in power in in golf were very much concerned with what would possibly happen to them and therefore the revolutionary ideology Not maybe in themselves, but possibly with the support of Iran. They fear would topple their monarchies with their sort of position Again Iranians also had some Territorial claims this that was one another sort of concern of the countries in the region because Statical power Statical power Observe the status quo and you know There is a certain degree of stability not necessarily peace maybe or not necessarily a very warm or close relations But you know at least you can make sure that for the foreseeable future There will be not there will not be an unexpected sort of behavior, but revolutionary or revisionist powers are always Confronted with a certain degree of skepticism as to what their ambitions are and what their intentions are and therefore Countries in the region were concerned about territorial claims Of Iran and vice versa and not only them, but also Iranians were concerned Of course most important thing that comes to one's mind with respect to the islamic revolution is that the anti-western rhetoric Of mullah Iranian molas while some people in turkey think that mullah is Using the term mullah. I mean we're calling them mullah is a way of insulting them not at all I mean when being a mullah in Iran is not something simple is not something easy So therefore they are not they do not mind being called molas because We have seen in Turkish politics on Turkish newspapers or in daily political discourse Using the term mullah or just you know labeling them as molas was you know thought to be a way of Undermining them or insulting them. No, this is not the case. So here again is something that you know Depicts the situation as it is. I mean they are molas and they are proud of it now. No one is concerned No one minds if you call them Provided that they are all this on anti-western rhetoric Disturbed the West of course Again from my research, I can tell you quite explicitly that I mean most people think Islamic revolution in Iran per se I mean in itself was the primary cause of the deterioration of Relations between Iran and the West and more specifically United States. I mean the Islamic revolution in itself Just because there was Islamic revolution Iranian American relations deteriorated. No, this is not the case Because I understand and then it is quite as You know straightforward to say that the US ambassador to Tehran When there is this revolution He of course consults with the you know headquarters in Washington DC and he asks the state Department as to what he should do I mean now that there is this revolution in Iran What will be the position of the United States because ambassadors and you will be ambassadors during the simulation ambassadors, you know, of course, they are competent people well educated Some they have accumulation of knowledge experience yet They cannot take every single decision all by themselves They have to consult especially when there is this important developments They have to consult with the headquarters the minister of foreign affairs State departments, etc. Etc. So and because there is an important Development in the in Iran the US ambassador asks as to what or how he should behave Vis-à-vis the new sort of administration the new regime because there's a whole new Top-down structure in the administration whole new regime whole new lifestyle The Shah has gone and their supporters have gone have fled the country some of them remain stay there but of course then there was this Entire restructuring of the Iranian regime and the US ambassador must who is responsible for advancing the interest of the United States in in Iran has to Get an advice or directives from the State Department and the answer is well well Revolution is their problem and so long as they are friendly to us to the United States Just keep up the good work that you're doing the way you do. So Of course, this is not the way they put it. It's a more formal way and more sort of a dramatic way In their transactions in their correspondence with Tehran and Washington DC But what is important to understand from this is that just because there was revolution in Iran The relations between US and Iran have not you know come to the point where they were and still are Since that no, but what what impacted what what affected the US Iranian relations was the hostage crisis You must remember. I mean not the days. Of course, you were not alive most probably but from your I don't know readings or Documentaries that you may have watched the US Embassy in Tehran was taken hostage for exactly 444 days and this hostage crisis Which was covered on TV channels in the United States and worldwide created this resentment in the US public in the first place and of course the administration and The and every single day bitter statements, you know, very negative rhetoric that was adopted by Iranian, you know Islamic clerical leaders with respect to Western values They they put the blame for almost everything Iran had to endure They put the blame on the Western values, etc. So this situation, you know gain much roots eventually and the hostility again Gain more impetus and We have seen what happened since that of course that was not only the hostage crisis or the coverage of this crisis the Hostage who were seen on TV channels, of course not in very comfortable conditions as you can imagine This sort of public sentiment was not the only reason because Islamic Republic of Iran Considered the Jewish state of Israel as one of its Enemies in the region. So this not only anti-western, but anti-Jewish or anti-Israeli rhetoric also Raised concerns in the United States and more specifically in Israel. So therefore we see Israel perceiving a Certain degree of threats from the Islamic revolution. I can tell you as I just you know a little bit implied in just a few minutes ago that Iranian armament and its embarkment on a large-scale nuclear Projects nuclear program had already caused some concerns in Israel with respect to its Mitra capabilities and other capability capabilities that it would acquire eventually because it is one of Israeli Long-term objectives is to not have anybody else more powerful than Israel in the region So this is quite understandable and anybody would like to see nobody around Who would be more powerful than him, so therefore The Shah had already You know started to concern the Israelis and the United States to what the real ambitions of this guy is But of course after all Shah was an ally Shah was someone who did not at least explicitly Mention or admit it any you know ambitions with respect to Israel et cetera et cetera Some people I mean this is something that I see Not many people know which is I mean this during the Shah period for instance Iran has Establish of course diplomatic relations with Iran with Israel Well to some level Not in the sense that we understand or we should understand with respect to recognition Yes, Israel the United States Iran Turkey They were all you know on the same side with of course At times some major differences yet, you know against Common threats being the Soviet Union et cetera, but Iran has never Officially recognized Israel for instance Turkey Recognized the state of Israel in 1949 Soon after Israel was proclaimed as an independent state and you know there are ways of Understanding or explaining the situation as to why Turkey Recognize officially the state of Israel, but Iran even though they had good relations a certain degree of Diplomatic relations or at least relations among diplomats. Let's say not in the official sense Iranian recognition of Israel has never come and most people don't know that but this is important because You know Israel Recognition of Israel has always been a problem as one of the major Political decisions to be made by the countries in the region So therefore this decision has not come easily when Egypt for instance Went on to recognize the state of Israel after the peace treaty because Ambar said that who took over from Nasser after the passing of Nasser he Introduced a new economic problem a program in order to offset the so-called Arab socialism which was imposed for so many years on the Egyptian economy Egyptian society which he believed made the situation worse, but the Inverse that's economic policies were of no good anyway and since the situation deteriorated you know I'm versa that wanted to Establish better links with better relations with the United States with a view to getting more arms More security and of course more specifically more economic and financial benefits So this has paid away since the ceasefire After that followed and you know that put an end to the war and in Your cup of war this ceasefire was further advanced of course with the intervention of and initiatives of Kissinger to a series of negotiations between Israelis and Egyptians which ended up in in came David and Because of this camp David there was also an accord camp David is a Is a recreational area? I think close to Washington never been there, but it is known for Inviting some tough nuts. I mean, you know possibly two politicians of Different sides who do not necessarily agree with one another and the United States wants to bring these two opposing leaders opposing views and to reconcile their differences and find a solution through Mediation and at some point maybe enforcing a certain, you know peace Solution and in that respect came David came David worked out and you know followed by the peace treaty And of course prior to that Mercedes had visited Jerusalem. That was a shocking incident in the Arab world and therefore Egypt was expelled from the Arab League Whose headquarters were in Egyptian capital Cairo and therefore the headquarters that moved we covered all this move to Tunis Tunisia actually so the Egyptian Israeli peace Somehow Set the precedent for other countries and was the first country in the Islamic world, so to speak to recognize Or in the Arab world to recognize state of Israel Turkish decision to recognize state of Israel has nothing to do with You know Religion Turkey is a secular state by constitution does not pursue a foreign policy based on religious beliefs or religious prerogatives, I mean Turkish Turkish decision of course may have been affected by its Relations with the United States by being a part of the Western world through NATO, of course NATO Membership came later, but there was this expectation To become a full member of NATO because Turkey and decided to apply for it at the beginning or just at the initial stages of Negotiations to create this Metro Pact Within the Western world so anyway all these things need to be remembered and to to understand how the situation looked like in the Middle East and how or what kind of impact all these have had on the politics of the region of course There is this Iran-Iraq war that we should not miss at all because it is a war which Claimed the lives of more than a million people on both sides. Well, it's a big number and yet actually not so much was achieved in the name of Achieving any of the objectives by either party said at the beginning We can hold Iraq responsible for the start of war Iran does not have anything to do with the Start of war because Iraq wanted to take advantage of the vulnerable situation that they thought Iran was Going through because everybody knows that post-revolution Periods are the most difficult periods in wherever revolution takes place because there is this taken over of the administration There are some internal resistance Anywhere revolution takes place and the those who you know carry out the revolutionary ideas or ambitions try to eliminate the opposing groups. So there is this internal Sort of chaotic situation Well, the Islamic revolution was no was not an example exemption to this rule, but I would say Iran did not undergo an equally difficult period because most of the opponents possibly anticipating the power or the extent of the you know Revolutionary groups in terms of having access to power in the country They did they either fled the country have gone to Europe, Canada, United States But as some those remained did not have much power to You know display much resistance. So Iranian revolution Took its toll For some time, but I would say Iraqi ambition to benefit from the situation of course was a rather miscalculation But was Iraq the soul responsible? You know entity to blame for the start of war of course not because Iraq was encouraged by both Western countries were concerned with the anti-Islamic rhetoric of Iran and also by the Gulf countries So what we see Saddam Hussein who was no declared to be a nest man In the 1990s after the invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi forces Saddam Hussein was a Hero quote-unquote quote-unquote Of course during the Iran-Iraq war because he was supported by the West as well as the Gulf states And so therefore This Iran-Iraq war had certain other consequences other than of course the loss a large number of loss of lives on both sides the use of especially chemical weapons In the battlefield after some time we had I mean the history there is this Information that Egypt during the Nasser period had because of the intervention in the Yemen civil war They use in you know in some places chemical war chemical weapons and Iran Iraq war also witnessed the use of chemical weapons and the killings of mostly by the Iraqis and that prompted Iran to develop certain weapons Capabilities because and also a develop a certain psyche certain Political mindset which made them old war anti-western because Whenever you talk with an Iranian security analyst about for instance The nuclear program which we believe has Some weapons implications not yet. We don't See this we don't know of any nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran today but there is this likelihood that with the Capabilities that they have acquired so far they may build one in the future. They say they don't want to well Let's hope that this is true But whenever you have a chance to talk about as to why Iran you know works so Ambitiously on the nuclear issue nuclear program some Iranian analysts with whom you have a chance to talk openly frankly and Not in a very diplomatic way, but just you know straightforward one of the reasons as to why Iran Has this potential ambitions at least with respect to developing nuclear weapons capabilities because of the trauma that they have undergone during the Iran-Iraq war because they say the entire world was against us They they turn a blind eye to a blind eye to the killings of innocent Iranian people in the hands of the Iraqi Army which used extensively chemical weapons in the battlefield as well as In you know delivered by ballistic missiles. So this is one thing. I mean those who You know blame Iran they say for advancing nuclear weapons capability Or who want to prevent this from happening have not done anything against Iraq when they used illegally because Of course chemical weapons From the Geneva Convention onwards was were proscribed weapons. So we're not to be used in the battlefields Of course Iraq not being part of it. That was not something that would prevent them from using it anyway But there was this moral at least norm that had to prevent or that that had to Provoke the Western world To say something against Iran they say nobody said anything when Iraq is used chemical weapons against us That's one thing and secondly, of course this big coalition against Iran also caused these deep traces in their mindset as that Saying that they were isolated and they were singled out in the region. So These things were of course important effects or consequence of the war of Iranian revolution in the first place and of course The Iran Iraq war that followed the there was this piece after eight years of War which was sponsored by the United Nations But also very much enforced by the rest of the world which was Something that was set to be until 1988 Impossible, but all of a sudden Humeini changed his mind and he said yes to the Proposals put on the table by the United Nations and since then we see Iranian Forum policy and security policies Being one of the major concerns of the security analysts so therefore we will continue with I mean this is So far this 50 60 70s and 80s. I try to cover this in almost 40 year or so Period with its most important developments again, this is not a course on history or not a History department course therefore what we are concerned with more is the major Implications or consequence of major events So when you make your studies and readings especially for the meat term that will be held on November 12th Exactly a month from today So when you make your readings Please try to bear in mind the consequences and causes and consequence of major developments Such as the 67 war seven three war Islamic revolution and things like that. All right, so We'll have class on Friday and please Follow your email check your emails because I will be sending a couple of attachments or links that I would like you to Study before we come to class. Okay. See you on Friday

don't think they take that much it's way better than you to take 40% or 35% I think youtuber a bit bit bit of thinking about it but all right though this person sent them this donation through stream labs which is still being caught up with as well as the super chats stream labs is the best one I believe in terms of one to one like money you send money that's received so a slew dis person who asked that stream labs is probably the best one to do it through but if you wanted something that was automatic monthly it probably would be patreon or subscribe star because they're better ratios than YouTube but all support is very much appreciated Punjab from Annie is the savior of boneless orphans while the Don nurtures them they both constantly protect the orphans from Diabeto who wants to extract their leftover bone density so we can support his weight oh Punjab is a supporting character in the 1982 film Annie and it's 1995 sequel Annie a royal adventure let's see there's an Annie wiki because of course their fucking is apparently I've missed a question let's see I mean sec I'm scrolling is Annie oh I was confusing Annie with Pippi Longstocking for some reason that's a fucking blast from the past I'm looking not finding it the user John Whittle yeah I'm getting no result in the Superchats I'm afraid said hey Moller I literally just spent $25 trying to show you this question so you can answer it and you literally didn't see it either time it's not in in the listing you sure it went through cuz like sometimes YouTube can be a bit of a dick about it depending on what words are used but I can't see any from John Whittle I'm afraid in neither Superchats nor Streamlabs also Jay said Patreon is 5% I thought they were more than that honestly no you're used to YouTube fleecing you says if you click USD $10 you can see it fill up right now can you I can't see this on my screen do I just just ask it in chat and I'll answer it because it's not showing up for me unless you already have asked it in chat let me look yeah you said I read the ones below and above it but not his like I said I control after your profile and it didn't show up I think YouTube might be blocking what you're sending don't go is there any sweet words in it because I'm trying to think of why YouTube might have done that all of Clone Wars takes place before revenge of the Sith yes but the new season might not right because it's the last one it might take you that might have you know whatever episodes before during because the Clone Wars is still happening in revenge of the Sith we'll be watching the other mission impossible movies at some point at least four and five for me they are one good two awful three meh for great five great I think we intended to at one point but we didn't end up doing it but you know maybe and I don't have particularly passionate feelings about any of the mission impossibles outside of fallout I just thought fallout was really good fallout was really good we did any fact about it that it's definitely blocking what he's sending so he's just gonna give up I'm sorry about that I like I said if you can try and post it in chat but sensor whatever word you think might be getting blocked you can try that I guess Palpatine will horribly mutate and distort baby Yoda turning him into Snoke that's good that would actually be pretty dark wouldn't it that would be fucking really dark especially because they know how much people love baby Yoda they're like yeah we're gonna fuck him up and turn him into Snoke he's gonna get chopped in half I got into an argument with a TLJ defender that says the reason the Empire remnants in the Mandalorian were experimenting on baby Yoda was to get jeans to clone Palpatine and that's the film tie-in seriously it might be they may be you know who knows I mean I I don't my problem with the Mandalorian isn't that they are interested in a extremely force sensitive small child that's not my problem that's not a problem at all I certainly think they might be interested in that for who knows what research purposes my problem is the shitty writing this one says I'm gonna save it just to see his reaction what do you think it would be this one says I want ER to scream JoJo he probably go I would picture that would be always he doesn't I think that where he like he's gonna do that annoying thing people do like children do they whisper scream oh you could do that yeah I guess we'll see the next time you have a month whenever that is assuming I get to these these bonus messages as well I really go to come back and hang out with a AO FYI Lindsay Alice released a video about getting her first book printed I think it's eFat material with Shad giving his input on the process like in a way that just like an informative sort of thing or does she say something silly in it I don't know not sure how much we'd be able to get out of that compared to like your standard media videos shit 50-50 I find I like some of them yeah it would be it would absolutely be possible to write Jar Jar into the sequel trilogy and we can get something better than what we got there is no bar for quality in Star Wars now so using Jar Jar is not a risk I agreed imagine he was in one of the ships that exploded from the Emperor doing his thing just arbitrarily we probably pissed me off I'd be like you don't get to kill Jar Jar Jar Jar Jar is I can't believe I'm saying this but Jar Jar deserves better yes he does he was a senator he was a senator that's true hey now lay off my boy Jar Jar the big the big scumeth what if what if all the Gungans had Jar Jar be the senator just so he could get off the planet and leave him alone yeah like oh shit let's make Jar Jar the senator he's a guy he'll never fucking be here and they're like you'll do great you're you're a you're decorated war vet yeah yeah that's right you go and go and do stuff in the Senate are they like it's just it's a nothing position he can't really do anything like they sent him away but he ends up actually doing a bunch of stuff I mean it's honestly truly he's part of the reason the Empire begins like he's a big part good job Jar Jar yeah got laid listening to EFAP way to start the new year really I must have been well I guess yeah that sounds odd but I'm glad we could help we're on board I mean it's not yeah not what I'd put on the on the background well I was getting hot and heavy with someone here while while while we have the sex how about you how about we listen to the soothing tunes of a podcast that I'm on like narcissistic like someone said Jar Jar was not a senator he was a representative I don't fucking know I don't remember the specific dialogue of what his position was but he gave Palpatine emergency powers I'm pretty sure he had a lot of a good position yeah someone emailed me the the rulebook for Pathfinder 2e thank you maybe I'll take a look at that later also Jose said are you forgetting how annoying Jar Jar is I know you're high from Disney sequel trilogy but come on that's the point you know is the no it's gotten so garbage that I would find it hilarious to bring Jar Jar back because there's just there is no not there isn't anything anymore it's just it okay bring you bring Jar Jar back I'll laugh at it have him interact with Babu Frick okay did solo ever show chewy swear a life debt in the film don't think so I don't think so it's hard to remember that film though Jay Longbone said anal I'm awake again give him my money I mean I don't remember when she said that but I can believe it will there ever be an e-fab meet-up I would love to meet my massive heroes also don't worry my e-fab family Wolf will return to us during the turn of the tide as Wolf the White lastly hi rags hello I'm gonna meet up it's not impossible yeah that's probably all I'd say it's not impossible but it's not planned any time soon definitely no plans for it but maybe I don't know maybe one of these days if you know it depends on what happens with us but no plans for it but it's not impossible this was an ER could we get a hard hour for the new year yes I'll have to say watch him struggle with that question so I am gonna head out so let's let's go ahead and wrap it up for now so I can get a very well obviously yeah we got through a bit of the overflow there's still a chunk left and with every e-fab that comes we shall hopefully be able to chip away and whiskey scenario rags and I shall do a couple more of these kind kinds of streams I know I see cuz when I slept once people were like shouldn't you be making videos and I was like fuck right also John Whittle it came through finally it says go to place where people bin pastes add this to the end please sorry for the long question have another Lincoln I'll try and do this as fast I can so that rags can escape how's past been work you're all right nearly there nearly there when you talked about decimate at the beginning of TFA part 3 you strongly imply that you think linguistic descriptivism means the new meaning of decimate i.e. to be greatly injured is fine because basically only linguists care about the underlying structure of words root weird roots etc language is as language does and all that so all I argue is the people are telling me that it means to take one-tenth of a thing away when that's more of a historical definition and that these days or at least modern times decimates used to just describe a significant portion of damage and even if it was not like it was more commonly used to say you take one-tenth away I still wouldn't be incorrect in using one of the many definitions of decimate but a lot of people only know of the one definition which is to take one-tenth away so what I was trying to tell people was when I described the supremacy getting decimated but technically is accurate because people saying it was inaccurate and I was like but it's not so if I could change the script I probably would use a words that is more typically understood to mean damaged rather than decimate but I just like the word decimate also he goes on to say I think the worldview is consistent on its own but I think there's an analogy to be made here between the deep structure of a word versus the meaning of a word and a character's underlying structural consistency versus their behavior I know it's a bit of a stretch but it really seems to me that anyone who thinks Luke throwing the lightsaber away as a writing error not merely an aesthetic preference should also think that using decimate to mean something other than destroying one-tenth is also a writing error but it's not it's just that's another definition it doesn't really apply to characters like you wouldn't say Luke simultaneously loves his family definitively but also abandons them like it's they can't coexist similarly to how you can't say literally means literally and figuratively like that's the whole reason rags will rail against that until he's dead I get that language changes over time but I I've got to put my foot down and and not and not accept the idea that something can unironically mean it's opposite yeah like that it's not helpful at all it's not it's like a flu also means brown is like okay now hold up like either things need to be internally coherent or they don't right the same argument that says the decimate means whatever people think it means probably also says that Luke's behavior makes sense if everyone thinks it makes sense and frankly I suspect you will strongly disagree with the latter what are your thoughts well I mean we've essentially covered it but yeah thank you for the questions everybody I think that's all super chats caught up with this still an overflow for those who feel their questions from previous streams have not been gotten to we're getting there I promise it's chipped down everyone so well because we had like three full streams of super chats that got saved instead of a dress because of all the things that were happening but I'm getting there like I said next stream is on Saturday at 7 p.m. GMT covering Ralph's Joker video will be a full roster and there are more videos on the way tomorrow we get in the next episode of infinitisms so hopefully we'll see you there live it'll be a premiere um anything you want to say before we head out rags oh I'm just glad everyone came in and I'm glad that they sat around and listened to our podcast as we caught up it's always good to be able to start these things in prompt to and have people show up and listen and we a lot I liked a lot of the super chats a lot of them were nifty to talk about I like like thinking about some of the stuff and yeah I'm glad everyone could stop in and take a look excellent yeah so we'll see you guys soon enough and thank you for watching I'm gonna be doing some editing work slash writing work and I'll probably hang out I think metal is streaming on Twitch right now so I'll be in a call with him so if you want to I don't know hang out ask him questions throw a few discussion to some's out just jump over to his channel essentially that's where I'll be and a rags do you want to say what's what's the channel you'll be on with them I will be on Arch Warhammer's channel which yeah if you don't know just YouTube Arch Warhammer you'll find him and that's what we will be there about like an hour or so is it half hour about an hour hour and a half well there you go that's we can find rags and you can find me with the metal commander I'll throw a link so that you
