So I'm Lindsay Bida and I'm a developer at brandybrand.com and we're gonna be talking about anti-oppression which is something that's extremely important to me as I entered you know the field and I noticed that no one else sort of looked like to me. Hi everybody I'm Steve as you may or may not know I teach the best Ruby and Rails classes in the world with Jeff over there so if you need to get better at Ruby she'll give us a call. Yeah and I care about the stuff a lot so Lindsay and I put this talk together to share these concepts with you. So when we say anti-oppression what do we mean? Well so one of the things that I've been really interested in lately is applying the languages and techniques of other fields to ours so basically like I've stopped listening to all of you and started listening to people who do things like philosophy or you know the humanities stuff and I think that there's a lot to be learned from an interdisciplinary approach right so like everyone is concerned about the startup echo chamber and I'm kind of concerned about the programmer echo chamber in general not that I do anything to not contribute to that but you know whatever I'm on Twitter just like everybody else is but so I came up with this analogy that I think is pretty reasonable for how to think about other fields so in Ruby we love DSLs right like Rails is a DSL to write web apps we just use DSLs constantly for everything basically rake you know all sorts of stuff and so other languages have these domains that are not programming and so they also need to use language that addresses that particular domain so what's unfortunate is whenever we encounter a domain that's not ours we sometimes assume that we know what words mean because we use them in our regular context but in the context of a totally different field of study a word that you may be aware of means something else entirely but seems pretty obvious but it's really easy to forget so what we're going to do today basically the point of this talk is to present the ideas of social justice as a DSL for solving the inequality problem that we have in programming so you know just remember that this is sort of an overview of terminology that you may think you know what it means but you may not fully understand what happens when people that care about this stuff talk about it so you wanted to share it with you so first we're gonna start with some data so right here is a graph of the bachelor's degrees in various STEM fields so that's science technology engineering and math and we notice this red line here is computer science so this peaked around 1985 1986 right when I was born it's all your fault so you know clearly there was a lot of interest and suddenly we have something dropping off and it's so negative trend we have had some small increases recently but it's an overall negative trend and what we have right now is about 23% of women the people receiving degrees are women there's a similar issue so we talk a lot about like women in computer science we need to understand that this is an intersectional problem so this affects multiple people and multiple areas and different experiences and stuff so what we have here is sort of the race breakdown of all US workers compared to the workers in Silicon Valley and we see for Hispanic individuals in Silicon Valley they only make up like 9% and the overall workforce they make up 15% for black people it's 6% compared to 11 so that difference to goes okay that's not that much difference but then you think about it you realize that it's half and that makes it a staggering amount so there's something at work here something going on that are keeping multiple people from different backgrounds from entering this field so yeah so this is sort of the data that supports this problem and so there's this field called not really a field exactly but maybe a term that certain people use called social justice and it is essentially a DSL for discussing equality in social relations now one thing that we want to definitely emphasize so like I'm sure that a lot of you read my Twitter and so this is not necessarily about politics social justice is a term actually originates from Thomas Aquinas and it used to be a very conservative religious we need to help those who are less fortunate kind of thing so this isn't really anything to do with like my normal like raw raw smash the state stuff this is about like being humans to other humans regardless of whether they vote Republican or not there's still people and so I say that in all seriousness like this is this is a bigger topic than petty political squabbling and this is what that what it really gets down to is is like we are all people and we should be treating each other as people and that's important and it's easy to forget sometimes because we deal with computers all the time so a long time ago some of you may know that I used to read it a lot until I got really really upset and quit but there was this really great thread that happens about reddit that I think that illustrates one of the biggest concepts in this field and one of the ones that's hardest for us to understand as programmers and it was an ask reddit thread and it said what's the worst thing that you can call a white male and people were like somebody said like cracker and they're like haha that doesn't bother me whatsoever right it's like totally ridiculous that I would get upset about this word and then someone said privileged and then all of a sudden everyone got really upset no no no no I'm definitely not privileged whatsoever I worked really hard I did all my homework in high school you know yeah maybe I went to private school but like that's because my parents worked really hard and like there was this huge like no no no no no no and so it's really really amusing in general that that's that's what gets us and me upset mostly is by accusing us of this like social privilege this is like the most key cornerstone concept to understanding social inequality is privilege so privilege is how society accommodates you you know it's like sort of the things that you get when you enter a situation it's how you know you were being treated one particular way because you're presented in a particular way it's actually situate situationally affected I had a friend who he's a Korean born person he was adopted into American family and when people were reading over resumes you know he has sort of a name that people associate with him being like white but then when he comes into basically to get interviewed they look around and they say oh you know Zach and they look over and they go to this one guy you know who wasn't him and they look at him and so he had privilege in like getting the interview and stuff because he said you know people thought that's who he was but then when he's actually there you know it was a totally different situation and it's basically kind of like a luck thing you don't really sort of you don't have a control of this yes some of these things can change about you you know like your religion may change or you know other things can change as you grow but a lot of it is things that you're born with you're lucky if you know you're a white male and you're entering the computer science field just it's kind of how it is because you're sort of the norm it's what people expect and yeah so the privilege and the unprivileged live on the same planet but two different worlds the experiences that I have are completely different from the experiences that Steve has because of who we are and it has nothing to do with you know me choosing to be this short woman it's like you know this is who I am this is how I present myself I don't have a choice in that really. There's a really good blog post that happened a little while ago that you may have seen me tweet about where somebody compared the idea this idea of privilege to difficulties in video games so like if you have privilege in a situation then you're playing the same game but on an easier mode and it's not even that you'll necessarily notice that like things are simpler it's just that things are simpler and you just sort of assume that's true. Another sort of example of this like these social norms are privileges so I was at dinner recently with a lady friend of mine and the person brought the bill and he went and handed it to me and I made a big deal of handing it to her because she was paying and she put her credit card in the thing handed to the waiter and he said thank you walk back ran the card walk back out handed the bill to me and you know so like this is these kinds of things where this is like a social norm you know that like people like every day you just oh this is just the way things are and so you're treated in a special way because you happen to be male identified. So there's this really cool sociological experiment called the invisible gorilla basically these they wanted to do this study on perception so they told all these people we're gonna show you this video and it's gonna have two teams one's gonna be wearing white jerseys one's gonna be wearing black jerseys they're gonna pass basketballs back and forth to each other on the screen and we want you to keep track of the number of times that each team passes the ball to each other and so we wanted to tell us you know the black team passed the ball ten times and the white team passed the ball five times or whatever so then they show them video and afterwards you know they did this with a bunch of individuals they didn't do it in a group and afterwards they asked all of them okay so what did you think of the gorilla and they're like what do you mean the gorilla and they're like the gorilla that walked across the middle of the video and I don't know what you're talking about said most of the people so they replayed in the video again and in the middle of these jumble of people passing basketballs this dude in a ridiculous gorilla suit walks over and is like waving his arms and then he walks off the frame and so the reason that people miss this and you can see the video on YouTube if you want and I totally miss it the first time that I watched it as well our brain is not really good at paying attention to things that are in our periphery so we tend to focus on things and so especially when you prime someone with the idea that you need to count these basketballs you focus on that and since the color of the gorilla suit is similar to the color of the people on the team you just totally ignore this like blatantly obvious thing if you weren't trying to focus slightly and so this is really what a good metaphor I think for the idea of privilege so like as a person who is privileged you won't notice the ways that you're privileged because you are normal so it's a situation normal and so it's really really difficult to notice the ways that you are privileged if you have privilege in a given situation and that's one of the things that make this concept really hard to identify with and to address especially if you have a lot of it if you are a straight white middle-class male dude it's very difficult to notice all those things together so what Steve went over was his personal axes of identity and so it's all these things that sort of like make up who you are and sort of affect the privilege that you receive in what situations yeah this is a list of just five of them the gender sexuality race class and ability but there's a lot more at play here you know being cisgender and stuff does give me privilege that you know transgender people don't have and it's really important to keep in mind that you know a lot of these things are at play and nothing is really quite so cut and dry it's one of the things I have issues with a lot of the data that we collect about people in you know computer science because we're looking at it at a like a really base level we're only looking at it like gender as being male and female and there's a lot more going on there we don't do any studies about sexuality and there's very little data about race actually which is surprising and one short note of what we mean by ability here this is like if you have mental health issues for example or if you're handicapped not like I'm really good at Starcraft versus someone else is kind of okay at Starcraft we're talking about like physical ability there were some questions last time we gave this presentation about what ability what we meant in this context and that's actually one of the harder ones to notice but anyway so intersectionality is how all of these things are interacting at once and a lot of them lead to you know basically systematic oppression of these people and inequality and it's something that we need to really keep in mind and it's one of those things we need to keep in mind as we push forward and we you know push for more women in the field we need to keep in mind that you know we're leaving other people behind if we're just talking about women in the conversation we need to be very very aware that we are talking about increasing everyone's ability to interact in this field and it's it's something that's always kind of problematic anytime you push for like you know basically equality in any situation sometimes someone gets left behind and it's time that we stop doing that this is also a common derailing tactic of people and you say like oh well women you know don't have as much social power and they're like what about that woman who's a CEO you know that one woman who's a CEO so there's intersection between all these different kinds of things that make up like people aren't just one attribute so it's important to acknowledge them as whole people instead of you know just pigeonholing them into one particular part of their identity this is something that is really controversial on the internet and that's because nobody studies these kinds of things you may have heard people say previously like that you cannot be racist against white people for example and then there's huge arguments about what that means the issue comes from this to the isms specifically racism and sexism but also ableism and classism and all those things basically it's it's an equation of discrimination plus power equals the oppression so the reason that people say things like you cannot be racist against white people is because racism is about systemic inequality across all of society so you can discriminate obviously against any particular category of these things but if you are the if you are the dominant or the most privileged along any of these particular axes then it's impossible for you to be ism because they're talking about a bigger societal force and this is something that people don't really appreciate in many ways and this derails tons of discussions online because people get into these details about what this words actually mean so when you use the ism you're talking about broad social issues not like you know a particular interaction or one instance so okay so imposter syndrome is when people are unable to internalize their achievements you know despite any sort of evidence that they are you know really good at what they do and they think that they're basically frauds and this is something that affects a lot of us I know Steve has talked about you know sort of experiencing this imposter syndrome before I've definitely talked about it but when you're sort of like a minority in the field it's sort of kind of like crumples down on top of you too because I remember like getting a job and I'm like am I getting this job because I'm a woman or I'm getting this job because I'm genuinely a really really good programmer and basically trying to get that through to yourself and basically trying to internalize these achievements is something that's actually extremely difficult to do sometimes and it's sort of surprising there's all this evidence there but despite all that evidence you just can't accept it for what it actually is so one of the situations I love bringing up is you know going to just any sort of tech meetup and the really really problematic thing that I've ever been asked is who's girlfriend are you and even more so I've had multiple people basically ask me you know if I'm dating Steve which I'm not and it's happens over and over and over and over again and it's you know you're in a situation you're trying to present yourself as a programmer and I was like oh you know who are you dating what which man in this room are you here with him's like no I write code I this is what I do with my life and that's sort of like builds upon this imposter syndrome right because I don't feel like I belong in that situation this happened two three days ago I got lunch with someone who I know through the internet and he said like didn't I see you tweet something a couple months ago about you cutting your girlfriend's hair in the same way that your hair is cut and I shaved a bunch of my friends heads like a couple months ago but they're all also programmers and I retweet them all the time so people are like vaguely familiar with my friends group but that was the thing that he remembered was like I think that you're a woman attached to this dude not like you know anything else so it's really really common and tech events and numerous women talk to me about how this is like something that really bothers them and it should so yeah so the stereotype threat this is something that's really I'm assuming obviously I can't really experience this at all but so a stereotype threat is a very common thing where you have anxiety from you don't want to perform in a way that would reflect negatively upon your social group in general right so I think you had an example of this yeah actually the really interesting thing about a lot of studies that say that women perform poorly in math is that they prime them with gender ahead of time so anytime you get a group of people together and you say okay you know women tend to do bad on this exam and they take that exam they do poorly if you go ahead and you say you know actually there's been studies that's trying to say this but that's actually false they did that study and suddenly the difference in their performance was the complete same there was identical performance so this priming with gender and basically telling them you know this is what your your gender does and or actually they even did this you know with African-Americans because for a while there's standard I tests and it was actually 1992 when they did this study and they found that the moment you said you know your group of people does poorly they perform poorly and it's because when you say that you're putting their mind in sort of like this anxiety state you know they're not gonna perform as well anyway because they're stressed out they're like you know I'm you know my type of person does poorly oh no I have to prove this wrong you know this isn't true about me and you know the moment you put someone in that they're not gonna perform as well and yeah definitely because societies has a sort of idea that women you know aren't good at math it or it just you know the moment you bring it up again and say here take this math test now it's gonna stress them out and their performance is actually hinder from that here's one of my favorite things that programmers say that are terrible I can't be sexist because I love women so much and I love looking at them all the time that's not the variant of this is like my slides couldn't be sexist my wife helped me pick out the pictures so you know these are kinds of things that you may like run into that yeah we can like laugh about but they're often you know way more subtle right like this is the most blatant form of this argument but people do make them in more and more subtle ways as well one of the things that is really important and this has come up a lot in discussions about like conference talks gone wrong etc. is that this stuff is really hard and you should apologize honestly when you get it wrong like I don't think that there's value in making people give fake apologies due to demanding to the you know the witch hunt like if you are being a sexist jerk then you shouldn't pretend to not be a sexist jerk you should just say yeah I'm a sexist jerk I'm not gonna apologize for it I don't think it's really productive to fake me apologize I also think it's important to apologize if you do something wrong even if the other person doesn't feel wronged so one example of how I have been oppressive in the past I went to a conference and the night before somebody tweeted like I'm excited to see so and so so and so so and so and at C Plabnik or somebody had never met before I'd never been in this particular city and so I saw her in the crowd before like in you know the social event like morning coffee social before the conference so I walked up to her and said hey are you you know so and so on Twitter and she's like yeah and I was really nervous because it's weird to like talk to people on that you've never met before on Twitter and so I made some sort of like in my nervousness I made some sort of joke about like yeah I mean I didn't know if it was you or not I didn't want to be like that dude but how many blonde women are there here really and then I felt really terrible about it afterwards as I should but like even though I care and think about this stuff all the time you know it's tremendously easy to slip up and be a jerk to people and so I didn't apologize immediately even though I felt immediately bad because it already was super awkward enough for me to have this interaction and that was the reason I screwed up in the first place but later in the conference I went back and I was like hey I really wanted to apologize for what I did earlier and she's like what do you mean and I was like well I singled you out as being like you know a woman here and like that's really wrong and she was like well I don't really feel particularly wrong by this and I was like well that's fine but I just wanted you to know that like I feel bad about it and I wanted to apologize and so that's one way you know that like it helps because you never know if someone maybe she in this particular instance she didn't feel wrong but what if she'd actually got her feelings really hurt right and especially since I was speaking at that conference right like I have an extra amount of privilege from being on the stage too that I have to acknowledge yeah so micro aggressions are demeaning implications or other subtle insults against minorities these sort of happen a lot it's sort of like that everyday reminder that you are a minority and you're of deviation from the norm and that you're sort of you know outside of that and like my basic example is that like doing dishes is woman's work there's a my favorite one is Obama is so articulate right which is just like straight up racism but like is not it's like people don't think it is for some reason well like backhanded compliments are one of the common like most common forms of microaggression and just for a note there is a website called microaggressions.com where you can see a huge listing of these and anytime someone is like you know give me an example of like something where you've been wrong I was like you can go to the site and most of these have probably happened to like one of the women that you know okay so frown power was basically Stetson's Kennedy's solution to racism in the 1960s he was infiltrating the KKK and kind of trying to bring them down a bit but we really need to stop kind of being silent when someone is doing something wrong and I've noticed this increasingly especially on Twitter right now which is really cool despite the fact that we're all being called like you know we're doing a witch hunt apparently when we call people out on being assholes but we should call people out on being assholes because the moment our community is basically accepting of people being dicks we're gonna end up with a community full of dicks we need to stop that and I hate to use genitalia as a pejorative but I'm gonna do it I apologize but we really really need to let someone know when they're doing something wrong because sometimes they might not know and yeah I we all make mistakes I've done it Steve has done it like probably everyone here at some point has said something that was you know inappropriate for a situation and if you just let someone know that they're doing something wrong you know they'll think about that and that's really really really important and if you know they continue it keep calling them out and then call in the Twitter army all right so we're gonna speed these last ones up a little bit because we're running a little low on time but this is a common thing from film actually that is hard for us to notice as dudes the male gaze so it's anytime the audience is put into the perspective of a heterosexual male so my favorite example of this from recent times is there was an article in a newspaper paper about like what if other sports in the Olympics were filmed like we film women's volleyball and like so like every women's volleyball photo is you know basically just like ass right like that's it like disembodied like nothing from like here to here from behind like that's in this women's volleyball I even saw one article where the it was like an unattributed woman is playing beach volleyball and it's like you don't even like deserve to have a name let at all like regardless about the textbook agenda objectification involved in that photo and so one of the women that I'm friends with said like yeah you can literally be the best in the world at your chosen field of endeavor and yet you're still nothing more than your body to most people and so this is awesome this particular photo had like men's basketball with just like you know butts in shorts and like diving and they were just pointing to you can see obviously how ridiculous it is when you're taken out of that context but yeah so now it is so I have a Francis the Allen clue and because we're short on time I'm definitely not going to read it but the key point is that technology is sort of shaping the world and it's really important that it's accessible to absolutely everyone so that everyone can be able to use this interact with it and actually create it so what we create is color directly by who we are there have been situations where you know because someone didn't take in the considerations of other people there you know have been technologies created that you know there there's the you know the face tracking stuff it didn't work with dark-skinned people that was a huge problem because you know that's a massive part of the population HP camera yeah you didn't see that story or the Nikon camera and anyone who is Asian it was like saying did you blink like clearly you did not test this with anyone that wasn't you know the people were just working on it so it's really really really important that we're a diverse community the people creating this technology so it's able to help those in the entire world because the world is not all white dudes it's a really really diverse community and we need to make sure that like no one saw that Pinterest was really popular right like everyone on hacker news is like Pinterest whatever and then all of a sudden it blew up in a huge and that's because it has certain demographical you know interests that aren't the dudes on hacker news so it's important and we don't want to give off this you know image the problem if we create all technology from the perspective of me then we tell people like Lindsay or everybody else that they don't belong here because it's a boys club or you know all that kind of stuff so it's really important to note that even the few women that were able to get into the tech field we're losing them they're dropping life fries because once they enter in there you know this sort of oppression stuff continues you know offensive sexist jokes in the office I know it seems like hey this is just a joke but these things actually seriously actually caused mental stress to people and they have you know studied basically putting you know these helmets on people to track the brain waves and then telling them sexist jokes and noticing that there's a mental stress response every time that's told so the tech field we have a really high rate of attrition for women it's actually 41% of women within the range of 10 years they will leave the tech community and 17% of men and so simply by reducing the female attrition is done by 25% we can add 220,000 people to the talent pool which is massive considering that all the companies are starved right now for talent everyone's always saying we can't find talented people we're trying to hire like crazy and it's extremely difficult it's at the base we just need to get more people in and we need to be more opening open to other people and here's another quote I'm not going to read but same general sentiment yeah yeah so ultimately we need to do better about this stuff right and like we are all working on it as Rubius especially like it's I'm really glad that we've been able to have this conversation and in general like we are discussing it and you know whatever but it is really really important I think that for all these informed mentioned reasons especially about shaping the technology of the future and so here's a couple things briefly that we can undo to continue to help in this way so the first one is to encourage anybody who has any interest at all to continue with that you know interest in computing or math or science whatever it is because often again this process of weeding out people drop out even before they go into degree programs right like little girls playing with their science kits but told they need to get played with Barbies right like that she could be a scientist someday but instead you know is not because we quashed this interest of a young age I mean I started programming and I was seven right so and you're even more impressionable then than before so contributing to projects that help learners is extremely important and Steve sort of started maintaining hack-to-hack after really a loss of why and it's really really important that we have these tools out there for learners to actually learn a lot easier I remember when I first started I was downloading code and copying and pasting it and changing things until I got it to do what I wanted it to but it's much easier now and we can make it even easier for everyone to continue to learn on their own and it's also really important to mentor those who need help getting started it it's really difficult to start programming I'm sure some of you remember it I was 12 when I started so I asked a bunch of hackers what my first language to be and they said see I was like okay so I had fun learning about pointers when I was really young and didn't quite understand what was going on but you know if I had somebody there basically helping me along the way that process would have been way smoother I didn't really understand fully what was going on until I started working on robots and that was like three years after I started programming obviously eliminating bias and stereotyping as much as possible when you grow up in like sexist white supremacists America you can't ever eliminate all of your bias like we've been indoctrinated with this stuff from a young age so it's it's not so much that we can all instantly tomorrow be totally you know oppression-free but it's important that we continue to like sharpen the sharpen the saw and continue to work on these things so like for instance my current project is to eliminate bitch from my vocabulary which has been really hard I have managed to already eliminate saying things like retarded for example like I used to say that a lot when I was in 10th grade or whatever and that's really terrible but I managed to cut it out by persistently paying attention to the things that I say and I'm a better person for it so like keeping this cycle going as like a lifelong project will help and then also we need to create ultimately a culture that makes people want to stay so not that I think that everything needs to be perfect before we bring more women into tech but if we're all a bunch of sexist assholes then why do I want to bring more women into this unsafe space right or if we're all going to do and say terrible things like I don't want to bring little kids into a programming world where we're going to treat them poorly so it's also important that we make sure that we're creating the world that we want to live in and that so that that way someday we can get there it won't be easy and it won't be tomorrow but I would like to you know someday have that world exist and so I'm a woman of my world word I'm doing this I'm trying to help and so me and Julie if she will stand up or wave her arm somewhere are starting girl develop at Pittsburgh and keep in mind that this is open to everyone it's focused on women but we definitely want everyone to be involved because both me and Julie care a lot about this intersectionality issue and so we're trying to help we're trying to bring women in we want to start up mentoring programs and everything and so hopefully we can help you know try and turn this you know downward you know trend around and get more people into the program world because programming is the best thing I do it's awesome and I wish more people could experience that so yeah thanks for listening and we're now out of time but yeah it's been awesome


It is Brett and this 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Short Box LTZ is stock number 12228ZA. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, near New and used light duty truck headquarters. This 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 has the 5.3 liter V8 gas engine. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process. It has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go and we are going to go all the way around in this video.

So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. And if this video helps you make a smart and informed buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, it was helpful, and that bread sent you. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, maybe even a little bit more. The frame is in really nice shape. Just a little dusty but corrosion-wise, very little to no corrosion. Once again, keep in mind this truck has 100,000 miles on it. Just shy of it actually. Frame and underbody looks really good. The cab corners all look really good as well. And it comes with a very nice set of factory chrome step bars. Pass in your side box. I didn't see any dents or dings in there. Coming around to the back. Rear bumper, absolutely perfect. Does have the rear bumper parking sensors and the rear bumper steps. Full towing package, which includes the receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. And that tailgate is in very nice condition as well. Does have a locking tailgate backup camera. And there's that full to cover tonneau. Has the shock down assist. It's never going to slam on you. Spray in bed liner. The bed is in really nice clean condition and it does come with LED bed lights up there. And you turn those on with your cargo lamps. That bed liner goes on to the tailgate as well. And once again, bed is in really nice shape. Coming down the driver's side just as clean as that passenger's side. No major dents or dings on the box. Paint very glossy on this side as well. And this back room for full disclosure is in very nice condition. Down the rest of this side of the truck, doors and cab all look really good. And it does have the heated power mirrors, built in directional signals, driver's side blind spot mirror.  There are no rips. There are no tears on the seats. They're in really nice shape. Both the average wear on a 100,000 mile truck. Both of these front seats are heated and cooled and power. You get the factory all-weather floor mats, auto headlamps, turned out four-wheel drive and factory brake controller. You do get the tilt and telescopic steering wheel, power windows, power locks, power mirrors. You get the nice wood grain trim on there, memory driver's seat and the Bose sound system. These mirrors do power fold in. And I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. All right, you can see that this one does have 99,654 miles on it, does have a digital speedometer and compass display. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. This one comes with the heated leather wrap steering wheel. No major scuffs or scrapes on there. You do get Bluetooth and information center controls on the right, cruise controls and heated steering wheel controls on the left. This one does come with the six-speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. It does have the Chevy MyLink system with the AM, FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. You can see that this one does have the factory navigation system as well. There is your AM, FM and Sirius. And then it does have a projection manager where you can project your cell phone to the screen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. And then whatever is on your screen on your phone, you can project right to the screen on the radio. So that's a pretty cool system as well. This is also where your backup camera shows up. It does have a CD player, heated and cooled seat buttons, your dual climate controls, power pedals, stability control, that's for your cargo lamps. That's also how you turn on your LED bed lighting. And then you have your backup parking sensors. You can turn those off or backup and front parking sensors, two USBs, two 12-volt power points. And then it does come with a 110 volt, 150 watt plug-in. You get two cup holders right here. And passenger side format and seat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there, smells very clean inside this truck. The headliner is in very nice condition. And you do get home link buttons up here for your garage door security systems and lane systems, power sign, rear window button and map lights. You do get on-star and SOS buttons in the review mirror. And this one does come with the wireless cell phone charge pad. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll check out under the hood and start it up. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have, power sliding rear window with the built-in rear defrost. Once again, those seats, fantastic condition, has the all-weather floor mats back here and the carpeting is very clean as well. This truck also has side curtain airbags and there we go. And the backs of the doors are trimmed like the front and the bottoms of the doors all look really good on this truck, I didn't see any corrosion or anything on that. So we'll start it up, take a look under the hood and once again I really want to emphasize how nice this truck is for the miles on it. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that, instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Take a look under the hood, I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you will have been able to verify the quality and condition of this truck all the way around inside and out there, all those LED running lights, fog lights and the HID headlamps. And under the hood we have the 5.3 liter V8 gas engine, engine bay pretty clean, there runs very smooth. Once again this truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change while the fluids have been checked and topped off.  And I would highly recommend this truck to make quality and condition standpoint and to see more pictures of this 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Short Box LTZ in black clear coat.

Regarding your original concern, you need not fear for Taukel's health. Why, the beast has the appetite of a behemoth. Just this very morn, I found it with his nose buried in my nuts. They 100% did that on purpose, dude.


And in fact, there are lots of relationships between all these different units. For example, a Newton is a unit of force, and force, we will find, is equal to a mass times an acceleration. Which is the same as a mass times a distance divided by time squared. And so the unit has got to be kilograms meters per second squared. And indeed, one Newton is exactly one kilogram meter per second squared. So if I know what something is, if I know that a force is a mass times an acceleration, then I can figure out that the unit for force must be a kilogram meter per second squared. And I don't necessarily even have to know that that's called a Newton. So you don't necessarily need the SI name, although it'll often have a name. All you really need to know is how it's built up of these other more fundamental things. And that powerful thinking can even go backwards. Sometimes if you know that the unit very well, you can actually make a fairly good guess as to what that thing is. So for example, a Pascal, which is a unit of pressure, if I tell you that that's one Newton per meter squared, which we could turn again into kilograms and seconds and meters if we wanted to. But if you knew that, then you can kind of tell that it's a force per unit area. So Newton is an amount of force and meters squared is an amount of area. And indeed, pressure is how much force per unit area something has. So how many of the really fundamental quantities are there? Well, it turns out that nearly all of the SI units can be based off only four. The kilogram, the second, the meter, and the Coulomb. So there's this stuff called mass. There's this stuff called charge. Coulomb is a unit of charge. There's this stuff called distance and stuff called time. And out of those four, you can build nearly all the others. The only exceptions are the candler, which has something about how the standard human eye responds to light and the Kelvin, which has something to do with temperature. So these four fundamental quantities and nearly all physical quantities are related to them. Because the SI units have to be designed to be easy to measure as well as standard for everybody, they don't actually contain these four fundamental quantities. They do contain the meter and the kilogram and the second. But the SI base units don't use the Coulomb. They use the ampere, which is the unit of electric current. That's Coulomb per second. That's the one that's defined because that's easier to measure. It turns out there's also in the base units, the Kelvin, mole, and the candler. And those base units can be combined to produce all the other SI units.


Welcome back Mechanical AIR. Did you know that adiabatic flame temperature is what determines whether a certain compound can be used as a boost for your car? This makes us wonder what is adiabatic flame temperature? Before we jump in, check out the previous part of this series to learn about what combustion is. Now, enthalpy of formation for a compound, a prerequisite to understand adiabatic flame temperature is the change of enthalpy during the formation of one mole of the substance from its constituent elements with all substances in their standard states. Adiabatic flame temperature now is the temperature attained by the products of combustion when fuel is burned with air or oxygen. Adiabatic flame temperature of a particular compound is difficult to measure when the combustion of a mixture of fuel and air occurs inside the furnace and is calculated theoretically using heat balance. Hence, we first saw what the enthalpy of formation is and then went on to see what adiabatic flame temperature is.


Okay, it's that time of year. It's Black Friday. You're watching this month from now, but actually it's Cyber Monday, I guess. But we ordered these phones, me and my wife, because they have just such good deals. Could have gotten a phone for free. We spent 50 bucks to get a slightly nicer phone. Last year we only had to pay shipping, which was like 12 bucks or something like that for our phones. But I figure 50 bucks to have an extra phone, and I can use my old phones for other things. I plan to actually send them up as security cameras around the house, and I might do some videos on that. But the thing is, when you get new phones, they come full of junk. Installing custom ROMs fine, but usually I like to leave the default operating system, the default Android on there, for at least a couple of weeks to make sure that everything works fine. That way I know that it's not the phone that's the problem, it's the accounting problems. If I can install a custom ROM, and a week from now I have problems, is it the custom ROM, or is it the phone, did I screw something up? So I like to leave the default operating system on there, but I want to get rid of all the junk that is installed on the default. These are Motorola phones. I want to get rid of most of the Motorola applications, most of Google applications. I use NextCloud and all that stuff myself. So how do we get rid of them? I've shown in the past how to uninstall stuff and how to disable stuff, but sometimes you can uninstall or disable, and in the past I've gone in as root and removed stuff. There's a better way. We're going to look at that today. You can use the default package manager solve. I just loaded this phone up. I've already done this to my phone. This is my wife's phone. I enabled USB debugging. I'm going to log in and use the package manager to disable the installed apps. You have to know the full name of the package to disable it. So we're going to look at how to disable it, and then I'm going to show you a convenient way to search through the list using FCF, as I always do. It's such a great program. And then I'll also show you how to use Logcat to find the name of an application. If you don't know the name of it, like sometimes Google has weird names, like you think Google Pay would be Google Pay, but it's actually Google Wallet, right? So I'll show you how to figure out the name of the application so that you can remove it in case you don't know. So let's go ahead and jump right in. Okay, here we are. On the left is my desktop shell. On my right is my wife's Android phone. And as you can see, we have things like Google Pay and Google Assistant and Chrome that are installed by default. Now, if I was to look at our apps here and go to settings for certain things, actually the way most people probably uninstall stuff. So let's say I want to install this play movie. I would drag this. Can I drag it with my mouse? There we go. And normally there would be an uninstall button here. But here's the issue. There isn't one. This is one of those default installed applications. And it's there. And there's no uninstall option. Sometimes you can go into your settings and go to apps and choose one of the apps. We'll go to all apps. And we'll choose something like Chrome and force up. And you can disable that one. But some you can't. For example, let's see if I go down to, like, this... Let's see Google Play if that will... Google Pay. I can disable that. You can disable it. Which, by the way, we're going to install it. I still think it's probably taken up space. So far all these can be disabled. But we're going to try to... Here we go. Launch. They're launcher. I'm using a launcher launcher. I'm not using the motor or launcher. I want to get rid of it. So how do we do that? Well, first we need to get a list of all the applications. So how do you do that? So if I ADB into the shell on the phone and I type in PN which is the package manager, I can say list packages. Right? It's going to list all the packages with the word package before it. So what I would normally do is I would say cut. And these are basic shell commands. And I could cut. I call in that. Field 2. So it gets rid of that package. But you don't need to do that. All you have to do is type in PM list packages. It will list all packages. Then you've got to find the one you're looking for. So let's see. What I'm going to do is I will grep for launcher. Right? And so I can see Motorola Launcher 3 here. That is probably the launcher I want to get rid of. Just based on the name. And if you don't know the name or you can't find it, don't worry, we're going to go over that as well. So the command I would run would be this. We're going to run the normally you would do PM uninstall. Uninstall in the name of that package. But it's going to tell me it failed. You can't delete it. Blah, blah, blah. What we're going to do is the same command. We're going to add in PM uninstall dash dash user space zero and the name of the package. Success. And it's gone. Let's do another one. Let's go ahead and search through the packages. So I'm going to grep for assistant. Assistant. Something like that. There we go. So after the package and call, I'm going to grab the name of that. And again, I'm going to run that same command. So we're going to go PM uninstall. Install dash dash user zero and the name of the package. And we should see this Google assistant icon disappear. It's gone. It's uninstalled. We got a success. Of course, we're right in the phone shell here. We could do the same thing. Let me bring that back. Screaming off there for a second. Of course, you can run the same command. We can do something straight from my computer. ADB shell and then we can go PM list packages. And it's going to list the packages right here. So I could grep each time I want to do something. But of course, what I could do is I can use that cut command. Like I said, I can say cut at colon.  I'm going to get rid of my wife's screen right now, just so I have more room here. And let's clear the screen. So colon dash F2. And now I'm getting into more advanced stuff. I just showed you how to install it. I'm going to show you a way that I do it when I'm installing lots of packages. I just want to go through them. So there we go. Now I got a list of all the packages. What can I do then? If you have FZF installed, which should be in your package manager for most likes distribution, that lets you search through stuff. So now I can do this and it does a fuzzy find. And I can type in something like Google, right? And I can go desk clock. Let's say I want to get rid of their desk clock and install a free open source one. That's the name of the package right there. That's what I have to do. So now I can wrap that and I can say, okay, so we're doing dollar sign parentheses inside quotation that's saying, whatever the output of this command is string. So now I can do adb shell and I can do pm uninstall dash dash user zero. And what's going to happen is going to bring up a list of all my packages. Right? And now I can do one. Let's see. Magazine. Magazine, I think. I think it's the now I thought I thought the name of their news app was magazine. Okay, let's, let's see. I'm going to find one that I know the name of. Oh, how about Google calendar? There we go. I'm going to hit enter and it just uninstalled Google calendar. I can do another one. I can do Google calculator and it just installed the Google calculator. Great. Now what if you don't know the name and sometimes these names don't make any sense. Okay. So this is what we're going to do here. I'm going to bring up my wife's screen again. We've got all the apps here in the app drawer. And what I'm going to do is I am going to log into the phone. I'm going to go. Sorry.  That was just a reminder to give her medicine. ADB. And I'm going to say shell and cat log or sorry.  Right. Let's go ahead and move this up here so it's a little bit wider. Right. Let's go ahead and move this down in the bottom there. What we can do is with that just to narrow it down a little bit we're going to say grep CMP. So we're going to get all that output and we're going to grep for CMP. And now it's running. Let it run for a second. And I'm going to grab something like Google Pay. I'm going to hit that. Wait a second. Hit control C to stop. And now we can see if we look at this. We're going to look for an app name right here. Wallet. So Google Android apps wallet. So you look for the name. When you run an app it should show up here right after CMP on a line. Sometimes you click on one app and other processes start. So you find the one that looks like the most likely one. We also have a Google GSM Pay here. But I'm going to start with this wallet here. And again, let's bring up my wife's phone again. And then we can do the PM uninstall. I type that wrong every time. Install, dash, dash, user, zero. And I'm going to say com.google.android.app wallet. N-F-C-R-E-L. Boom. If I do that, boom. Google Pay just disappeared. So that is how you can uninstall these default annoying applications that you can uninstall in the Android interface. Again, the simple all you have to do is here's that command again. It's PM for package manager uninstall. But you have to set it as user zero. And then the name of the package. Like I said, if we log cat, that's going to output a whole bunch of stuff on the phone. But what we want to do is narrow it down so we're going to grep for CMP. And as applications launch and do stuff in the background, you're going to see them on here. Let me pick another one that I want to get rid of. Play movies. So there we go. I hit the button and actually it opened up the YouTube videos app here. So now, definitely want to get rid of it. No, it's right after the comp equal comp Google Android videos. And then it had a process that was calling YouTube videos. It was probably getting information from the YouTube app, which I'm going to uninstall too. So again, if I just did PM uninstall, try to run that. Let's see. It says error. But if I add to that dash dash user zero, it's gone from the phone. Again, default applications are usually installed on a partition that is not writable. So I'm assuming they're still there. They're still taking up space because even if I was to delete them from that partition, you're not using that partition for storage. So it's not really clearing up storage, but it's stopping these apps to the best of my knowledge from running in the background and doing all their things and just using up your processing battery power and reporting whatever you know from the back, you know, in the long run, sometimes it's better to install a custom ROM, but if you don't want to for some reason, and there's many reasons not to, you can at least get rid of these or disable them this way even if disabling is not an option. So thanks for watching filmsbychrist.com. That's Chris Decay. There's a link in the description. And as always, I hope that you have a great day.


What if I told you I can get you from an idea to prototype with real user feedback? In just four days, giving you a step-by-step process is the fastest and cheapest way to validate a product. That's right, I'm not bullshitting. Let's talk about the design sprit. I've been facilitating design sprints for the last five years, and without a doubt, it's the game changer for inexperienced product team. Whether you want to set a direction for a new project, establishing initial processes, aligning your team around product or vision, gaining speed, efficiency and focus, validating assumptions, reducing risk or failures, this framework covers it. In this video, I want to walk you through what is a design sprint? What it looks like each day, tips of becoming a confident facilitator, how to build workshop slides for your team, and then later I will talk about the most important topic of them all, the dangers of not doing a design sprit. So stick around for that. Okay, so what is a design sprint? A consecutive row of workshops that support co-creation and empowerment of your team. So why design sprints? Well, design sprints help you understand essential focus areas to ideate on, turn your ideas into testable hypotheses, and make real prototypes to get feedback from real users. So how does a design sprint even work? Well, we start off the week with Monday. This is where we map and understand the problem of space. Then from there, we identify what we're going to focus on, and then we produce sketches. We use a bunch of different techniques, first from noting to then crazy aides and then solution sketches. So stage by stage, we take you through the ideation process. Then on Tuesday, we actually have a rigorous voting system to decide what is the best idea in the room. And then from there, we paint a picture using a storyboard to say, okay, if we were to make this prototype, what would it look like? What does the customer journey look like? And what are the essential parts of that storyboard we should follow? Then Wednesday, we actually build this prototype.  And then finally Thursday is the big thing, the culmination of all our work. We actually go out and test your prototype. So you can actually learn from what works and what doesn't, real feedback from real users. So when Friday comes around, you can just chill. It's Friday.   This is the Design Sprint 2.0. And it's an improved version by AJ and Smart. The original concept was actually done in five days. But I found this version to be way more efficient, saving you one extra day. Five days is a lot to steal from your team. Okay, let's talk about how you be a confident facilitator. The amount of work that could be accomplished during Design Sprint is absolutely incredible. You'll be amazed how productive your team can be, where they have a good sprint structure to guide them. To run a successful Design Sprint, focus on the following and this will make you a confident facilitator. The first thing, the big three, ask questions, jot things down and mine the clock. If you do those three things well, the whole process will run a lot more smoothly. The second is trust the process. It's a step by step framework. If you just follow this process, you'll be able to take your idea to getting real feedback so much smoother. Don't skip any of the steps. Number three, get people to commit to the sprint in advance or don't do at all. It's important you get bind from the beginning and they know what the sprint is about. If you have people coming in and out, it just does not work. Trust me, I've tried it before. No, no, no, no, no, no. Four, consent is key. So ask people at the beginning of the workshop, hey, we're about to do this thing. I'm going to move you on. If you start to ramble, is that okay? Once they have consent, you have their bite. Number five is write names on board, because if you're like me, you forget people's names. Say my name. It's actually harder to refer to them and also what they do. If you write the name of the board, you can't forget and it's clear that they are there. Cheers, Jeff. Number six, know that it's natural to be nervous and try your best to project confidence. To be a confident facilitator, you have to pretend that you're confident or at least play like a confident facilitator. Please just pretend to be confident if you cannot be confident in yourself. Number seven, give positive feedback. Giving positive feedback will help and encourage others to go brave and go crazy with their ideas. Remember, we're not here to judge, we're here for the best idea to win. Number eight, being a good facilitator requires a balance of patience and impatience, confidence and humility. Number nine, take regular breaks. Talking about a complex problem or lots and lots of ideas really take a toll. So remember to take regular breaks. Number 10, you do not have to be perfect. Learn from the process and make the sprint better. I mentioned you shouldn't skip part of the process, but if some part of the process can be optimized, feel free to do so. So those are some best practices for facilitators and to be confident, you also need your workshop slides to be on point. So you want to avoid slides with a lot of text. Create title pages before diving into each exercise. Include concise bullet points as instructions. Be more explicit about timing on the exercise. Hurry up. Show examples of a desired output for each exercise. Use large fonts. Include plenty of white space. Use color to highlight key points. Keep design elements to a big animal. Use visual aids only when appropriate. Limit the transition and animations if needed. Just subtle animations. You don't want flying things left and right. That's not point of good slide design. And finally, you've been waiting for this. Dangers of not using the desired sprint.  For example, investing too much time and money in ideas and products without validating user's needs. We've all been there. Another one is making decisions without understanding user preferences and behaviors. Just guessing. Shooting in the dark. What about wasting resources on features that don't get used? I mean, even if it's cool, who cares? Missing opportunities to gain a competitive advantage. The slow mover does not win the race. Developing products with a poor user experience. Having an ineffective team collaboration. Take longer to get to market. Silo teams and gaps in collaboration. Unsuccessful product launches due to lack of user testing. I've run 20 sprints at work and as a consultant. The number one thing I hear is, wow, we got a lot done. It's rare that stakeholders can really focus on a specific problem without distractions. Getting people in the same room for hours or days can really move the ball forward. Inexperienced teams love this because it gives them a step by step formula that brings them from problem to solution with real user feedback. They get a taste of design thinking methodologies with meeting principles that focused on getting started, not being right. I mean, you can squeeze months of work into weeks or less. Here's a stat to back up my claim. According to IBM, design thinking research can lead to 75% in reduction in design and delivery time. Often reducing a project from eight months to three to four months. Whether for research, marketing, growth design, branding, strategy, or any other discipline related to building products or exploring new markets, the design sprint method is acknowledged as a viable, efficient, cost-saving research option. Considering that design sprints help you reduce the risk, offer more efficient process to validate your ideas, remove traditional convictions and accelerate innovation. You can't afford to not try this method. If you're interested in learning more about design sprints with a detailed guide and templates, check out the link in the description.

In today's video, we're searching Walmart for the brand new Chaos Mystery Box. I am here at Walmart and according to Sylveon on my Discord, there is a new Chaos Mystery Box today. So first of all, go check out the Discord because then you can alert me on certain things like that and hang out with all the awesome people out there. Second of all, Chaos Mystery Box. Apparently they're only 10 bucks. Usually they're more expensive than that so they did a cheaper version this time. I'm hoping Walmart has stuff so we can open them up today. I'm also feeling a little under the weather. That's why I sound a little weird. So we got to get the box though. We got to get the mystery box. Lots of good stuff, and there's what we're looking for. Chaos box, $9.98, so very cheap. Hey, I just need to get some of the cards back there. I can be back there for the first trip success. That's always a great day to ride for the first Walmart and everything you need. So let's get home and open these things up. See if they're any good because they're probably. All right guys, we're back. We have gotten four Chaos Mystery Boxes. One will be given away to you so make sure to like the video, be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know down below. Are these worth the $10 price tag or do they suck? Okay, there's really only one way to find out so I'm gonna be opening three. One will be given away to you guys as I just said. So we have a $30 price tag and we're gonna open all these up and see if we get $30 back.  Okay, I'm just kidding. They don't have to make your money back to be decent but we're gonna see if they're decent as well. Okay, before we actually start cracking into one, let's take a look at them. At the front, they are advertising the IP Mascarena card sleeves. That's cool. They love selling IP Mascarena, especially in three different star lights. Then we have Dawn of Majesty. Not exactly an exciting chase because pretty old pack, everything's been reprinted in it, including the Starlight Stardust. So there's not really that much to get excited about there. Then we have Dark Saviors, a set that's been in every mystery product. If these are the ones that are advertising, I'm not feeling too good about this. After last time though, in the Monster Box, when they were like advertising what was it, Hidden Arsenal Chapter One, I guess this is a step up. It's impossible to be worse than that. But we'll see. So they have two Monster Packs, one light pack. So I'm guessing that's like a Legendary Duelist or something. And then what if you have to count sleeves? So, okay, what about the back? We got the Dogmatic Ecclesius sleeves. Yep, there's the Legendary Duelist. It's Magic Heroes. That's probably the best light pack you can get. But still, it's a light pack with three cards. Flames of Destruction, first ed. Hopefully it's actually first ed. Normally they're unlimited in these boxes. Then Hidden Summoners is, it's iffy. It's not amazing. I will say the packaging on these chaos boxes goes pretty hard. So they do have a great look to them. The previous chaos boxes were like 25 bucks. So I guess they decided to go with the cheaper version. This is a lot like those other mystery boxes they had around the same price point. I think I have one more point. Okay, they did a couple in this same structure. This one seems like the exact same size box. Not a chaos box, it's just a regular mystery box. The question is though, are these made by the same company? I'm guessing they are. We have MJ Holding and MJ Holding. So they're just basically repackaged, rebranded, and it looks like these are probably worse. So if you get sleeves for 10 bucks, not totally sure because these were cool because they had good selection of packs like Duelist Alliance and Invasion of Chaos and stuff, but interested to see how these go. Okay, so just pulled those out for fun. Let's open these up and see, is this, remember it's only 10 bucks. There's not really that expensive compared to a lot of their mystery products. MJ Holding, not usually a good reputation for having great products. So I'm not expecting too much here, but you never know. I think they had those blue ones too with the white sleeves that everybody liked. So those were actually decent because those sleeves were actually fire. I think those were 10 bucks too. So we'll see if these are as good. So let's start off with the sleeves. We have the IP Masquerana cart sleeves. We'll be looking these up to see like what the value is. I'm guessing around five bucks. So that's half your value right off the bat. So honestly, like not horrible. And IP Masquerana is probably some of the best sleeves you can get in terms of not necessarily quality because I hear that these do not actually go that well. You have like double sleeving to make sure they don't fall apart, but people like IP Masquerana, okay. So next pack we have, this feels like the light pack, which is a magical hero packs. Not surprising. These are in the cubes pretty often. At least they're not bent like they are when they're in the cubes. All right, at least they're not like that. Okay, let's see. We have the Halfway To Forever Automata Para. And you basically never get a foil out of here. The only time I've gotten a good card it was when it was bent. And it wasn't even a good card. It was just an ultra. It was a bad card that was an ultra. Okay, so that's probably a dollar pack at most. So maybe six bucks, like unopened total for everything we have. Then we have Tactical Masters, first edition at least. Not a horrible pack. It does have labyrinth stuff and stuff like that. Let's see. I don't really think there's a pack trick on Tactical Masters. We have Runic Slumberer. Could get a collector rare and really like do pretty well with this with $10 box, you know, but then collector rares are pretty rare. One in 72. And you most likely will get a Valence World Super Rare, which is worth basically nothing. So, so far we've gotten $0 on our pulls. That's not surprising. So Tactical Masters pack is probably a $2 pack, $2.50, something like that. And then we have, okay. Oh, it's unlimited. Let's say Power of the Elements. This is good. And I remember they did an unlimited wave of this set. So probably not fantastic, though I will say the sealed value probably does end up at 10 bucks here. It's just not $10. Like if you had $10, you probably would pick these to actually buy other than maybe the sleeves. Melfi Penny, we have Tears of the Overroot. Moki Moki Adrift. Oh, Moki Moki got a retrain in there. How do I not remember that? That's kind of sick. Mary Melfi's, we have Vernasliff. Crawler. Hydrolander Orbit.  We got an Ultra. Okay. Can't be mad. Ultra Rare is very nice. So, maybe we pulled something. That is not the worst that's ever happened on a mystery box. So, okay. All right. Let's see if there's any variants in these because a lot of times they'll just be the same pack. So will we get anything different or will it all be? I gotta be careful. People are gonna freak out when they see the knife for multiple reasons. They'll say, oh no, you gotta cut yourself. Oh no, your knife needs to be sharpened. Yada, yada. Which actually did sharpen that one and it's actually been way better. Okay. Sleeves. Anything different this time? Okay. We got the Ecclesia Sleeves. So we got both that are advertised on the box. Both pretty good. Well, technically not just Ecclesia. What is this guy, Albas? Yeah. Ecclesia and Albas. Got another magical hero. So there has been a little variance. Different sleeves. We can't complain about that. Will we get, how about a Magician Soul out of a light pack? That'd be unreal. It'd be like pulling a Starlight. We have a Doppel Warrior. We have Wing Caribo. And we have Automata Pickup. Did we get that last time? Wait. No, we didn't. We got Automata Wizard Dragon.  Two packs left.  A real pack that I'm excited about. Wow. That's actually sweet. Okay. All right. Chaos box, you're moving up. You're moving up. Why isn't that on the front? That'd be way more exciting than all these other crappy ones. We have Dynamorphia. Dynamorphia Shell.  Like kind of like right now. Some more. So it's like reverse psychology. They know I'm gonna like, the YouTubers are gonna get it.  So they put the worst possible thing so that we can then pull something good. We have Dynamorphia or something average. We have Cynry and we get excited. We have Fire Opal, Ghostric Siren, and Libromancer, Magic Girl. I bet battles of chaos is probably a $3 pack. Maybe four. Okay. Last pack in the second chaos mystery box is Hidden Summoners this time, which is not horrible. Okay. It's first edition too. I like to see when they're first dead. It's better when they're first dead than when they're not. So it looks like there's one side set, one core set, and one light pack is what we've gotten so far. Ritual Foregone. Circle of the Fire Kings. I don't even know what's in this set. Oh, it's all the Nephthys stuff. Defender of Nephthys. And a secret rare. What in the world? It's a Miyakashi. Tsuchigumo, the poisonous Miyakashi. It's the level five or the synchro five Miyakashi. Okay, sure. I don't think that's a great card, but we got battles of chaos that time. That's a lot better than an unlimited poat, I think. All right, last chaos box. This has been fun. It's been fun. We had a slight surprise of something decent, man. It is hard to open these. Sometimes they're wrapped over the edge, sometimes they're not. So you gotta like find where it is. So it's kind of hard to see through the camera and I'm kind of dangerous. Okay. So far, first one I was not impressed. Second one, I was, it was like impressed by default because it was something decent. Okay, we'll see. Will it be terrible? Will it be decent? Will it possibly be good? Probably not. Let's see. Masquerina or Dogmatica? Okay. Ecclesia. So we have $15 in sleeves probably there. So that's gonna help. Where's our mini pack? I guess it's all magical hero, which if you're gonna pick a light pack, it's not a bad one to have. Light packs are all bad though because you never pull anything. Okay. And I say that maybe we'll pull something out like a magician souls. Illusion magic, quick draw, synchron. Okay. That's cool. And. Hey, we pulled something. Elemental hero Nios. It's only a super, but honest Nios. Sorry. But pulling super out of a light pack is actually very, very hard. So I will take it. I am not mad at an honest Nios. Or should I say I'm honestly not mad. But oh, okay. All right. Two packs. Let's do this one first. Oh, another battle's of chaos. Cool. You guys know how the battle's of chaos. This is like targeted at me. It's like, oh yeah. We know Ruxen likes battles of chaos. We'll put these in here. Okay. One, two, three, four. Forget the dark magician or a starlight I'm freaking out. Improved intrusion. Top share. No Ruxen special with agent of destruction. Maltzerebirth. Dynamorphous Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. We have Euridora fate. Clear new world. Skilled brown magician and ice shade. Azurine, agarine, agarine. Is this the ice shade that's actually like seven bucks? Or is that a different one? Cause there's one ice shade that's actually like $7 in an ultra. Which is amazing for ice shade cards. Okay. Last pack. What's it gonna be? How about dark savior's hat? Maybe. Oh, it's Donna match. So we got two core sets. This feels like a Euro pack too. UK. I'm assuming that means United Kingdom right there or that that could just mean something else. But I'm pretty sure this is a UK pack cause this does not feel like the ones I've opened. First, it will be able to know from the cards. I'd take a starlight start. Yes, this is definitely Euro. Okay. I'd take a starlight start us. I would not be mad. We have Tri-Mid loading. Magic and locking Ruxen special. Chronomaly, Esperanza glyph. Jarve generosity. We have Gaia armor dragon shell. Magistic, not Magispector absorption. If you guys have enjoyed the video make sure to subscribe to the channel. Also let me know down below.  We have cosmic slicer. We have Despia and we have the Despian and Proskineon. Okay. Overall, very cheap mystery boxes. So there's not like a ton to lose if you buy them. They do have a couple like, really the battles of chaos is cool. Donna Magici is not great. Some of the packs in here aren't great. Light packs, not really worth anything. Getting sleeves for half your value back is pretty nice. If I had to rate these out of 10 I'd say this is like a five out of 10. Like it's not the worst mystery box I've ever seen. It's also not very good. Like there's not a lot of high roll chances. I guess you could pull battles of chaos, get a starlight or something, but we'll get a stardust dragon or something like that. But honestly, not something I'd super recommend, but if you want to have a little bit of fun they're only $10. So there's at least that going for it.

Yeah. How much are we in? We went noming. And that is one of the things that I took. I am a hardened criminal. Yes. Mircats. That was one of our things that we did in Prescott. We went noming for you. No run, no running. Take lawn nomes off people's yards. Most of the time, you switch them with the other neighbor's yard. And I don't remember which house it came from, so I could never take it back. Corner in a minute. Is it coming? You didn't have any recycling? Yep, already got it. Oh. It's going to pick that can up.

Look at that one. Look, he's grabbing a bacon. He says, I don't think it's mine. It's mine. I'm taking it with me. Is that the same one we just caught? Oh, that's a bigger one. Life is a winding road, driving through days and nights. Won't stop for traffic lights. If I'm falling down, I will keep on searching for my highs. Who can say I lost my mind? I will keep on holding my head high. Even the sky's falling down, jumping from cliffs so high. Trust in our wings to fly. Sometimes we're crashing down, but we get up and stop from the ground. Keep on searching for my highs. Who can say I lost my mind? I will keep on holding my head high. Even if the sky's falling, if the sky's falling. Bed time for this one. I don't have my glasses, so somebody else will have to read. Would you like someone to go and fetch your glasses for you? Yeah, they're in on the counter. OK, Queen Mary. OK, so this is night-night time for cash. OK, peek-a-boo-poo. Colleen, your pillow. Everybody's just done. Peek-a-boo-poo. I'm looking for Christopher Robin. Peek-a-boo. That's E-or. All right, guys, I'm going to end the vlog here. We're getting cash in bed. We're all going to go to bed. OK, wait a minute. No, no, I'm going to read first.


When the narcissist makes you their caretaker when you are involved with a narcissist It's only a matter of time until you become their caretaker They make their needs more important than your needs They hold you responsible for their lives If you don't do everything they want you to do They will get very angry or they will give you the silent treatment But no matter what you do for them they will always want more They will always make you feel like what you're doing isn't enough They will cause you to feel inadequate They will guilt-trip you because they want you to keep attending to their needs They want you to keep feeling like you have to do more They're manipulating you to be their caretaker Where you're doing things for them that they should be doing for themselves While they're not doing anything for you in return If anything they're just making you feel miserable. They're making you feel small While you're doing all of these things for them You're the one who is always given and it's having an effect on you It's running you down You're not getting your needs met But that hasn't even been your concern Because the narcissist has trained you to focus on them They've trained you to put their needs first Where everything has to be exactly the way they want it to be And you have to make it happen for them You have to make their life better while your life gets worse Because you're not getting anything in return You've become the narcissist caretaker And you're enabling them to do what they do Because you're allowing it to continue You're doing things that you don't want to do Because you're trying to make them happy You're changing your plans You're letting go of your goals and dreams to please the narcissist So that they can get what they want And while they may value what you're doing for them They don't respect you They're just using you Because you're putting their needs first You're not focusing on your own needs Which is why you may find that you're no longer taking care of yourself in the way that you used to Maybe your diet has changed Maybe you've gained weight or lost weight Maybe you no longer exercise Maybe you don't get much sleep anymore You're missing out on things that you need Because the narcissist needs something You're constantly having to deal with their issues and problems When they should be dealing with it on their own When you realize that you have become the narcissist caretaker You need to stop Recognize where you have done more than you should be doing for them Take your power back Set boundaries Recognize where your priorities should be Your goals and dreams should be important to you You should be focused on your future You should be doing things that make you happy You need to draw a line There needs to be a limit to what you're willing to do for them And they should not be the ones who set that limit You need to set the limit You know what is too much for you They might get angry They might have a lower opinion of you Let them think what they want If they're not willing to support you on your goals and dreams They're no good for you They're not going to help you grow They're not going to help you to be better Because they only care about what you can do for them They want you to live for them They want you to ignore your own feelings and needs They want you to pretend like everything is okay Even though you may be developing health issues You may be having difficulties with your finances You don't like focusing on them all the time You may feel guilty when you do things for yourself And the narcissist may try to make you feel bad They may call you selfish Because they're not supportive They're not going to help you better yourself But it is important for you to focus on your own needs To focus on your own life Or one day you're going to look back And realize that life has passed you by You're going to regret wasting all of your time Focusing on the narcissist Because you're going to realize they're full of it They gave you empty promises They promised you a future while they never took any action to create it Because they were only focused on their own needs So take action now Take care of yourself Let them think what they want to think You need to focus on your future And being their caretaker Is not going to create the future you want It's just going to give you health problems It's going to cause you to experience financial difficulties And if they're not there to support you now Why would they suddenly support you in the future? They use future faking to get what they want from you in the present But they have no intention of following it up with action Normally relationships are supposed to have an equal exchange They're supposed to be reciprocal But this relationship isn't benefiting you in any way People who become the narcissist caretaker Think that if they keep giving and giving Eventually it will get better But it never does Take the focus off the narcissist Take a leaf out of their book and focus on yourself But don't depend on anyone else for your happiness You have the power to create it for yourself Which is why the narcissist made you their caretaker Because they wanted you to hand that power over to them But now you can take it back And use it to benefit yourself When you give something to someone who doesn't deserve it It will always be misused It will always be mistreated But you can take it back and respect it You can use it for something good You can use it to create the life that you deserve Thank you for watching I hope this video resonated with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My paypal link is in the video description Coaching inquiries You can email me at coaching.narc-survivor.co.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon
