What's up guys, EvilDeer here. So this is actually the second time I'm recording the second Esperanto slash World of Warcraft lesson because the first time I filmed it for some reason everything was black except for my mouse and all you could see was my mouse bouncing around the screen. All you could hear was hear me. So unfortunately I completed one of the quests. I'm just going to go back through and do everything that I did just so that I can re-teach you all the words and stuff like that. Anyway so we'll just start off with a little bit of revision. So first up what was the word for dwarf? It was nanno. Okay and what was the word for night elf? It was nokta elfo. Now by the way I had a few people in the comments go how come you didn't say nokta elfo which seems more standard. I just want to say that when you're combining an adjective and a noun in Esperanto there's generally like three different ways you can do it okay. So you can either say nokta elfo as two separate words you can combine them and drop the adjective the a so you could say nokta elfo or you could leave the a in say nokta elfo but as one word or you could even use the noun on both and say nokta elfo. Now I'm choosing to do nokta elfo just because it keeps things clear and separate. However there is a general way of choosing which one you should do. One is look at standards like what currently exists with an Esperanto. So if it's like if night elf was like a standard word that exists in Esperanto and it's in literature as nokta elfo I'd follow that because that is what's being developed over time that's how it is now but I haven't really seen night elf written anywhere else so I've just chosen to go nokta elfo. You guys can go nokta elfo you can go nokta elfo it's really one of those things where you can just choose. Now by the way you see where we are now this is kind of like the main base okay now most people like the the word for this in the game is the camp or something like that like will ferry I don't know what it is some type of camp but in Esperanto a lot of people make this mistake they transfer camp and they say kampo because it sounds similar that's a false similarity kampo actually means like a like fields that you know are good for growing food and and you've got animals on it like grass you know like rolling fields type of thing arable land stuff like that so that out there that's a kampo but this here this isn't a kampo this is a tendardal okay so tendal means tent and ardo is a suffix which means a group of so you have tendardal which means a group of tents this is basically what this is so yeah just tendardal just so you guys know someone now we're just a little bit more revision I'm not sure what I'm doing in here again um yeah so we'll just do a bit more revision the word for uh blood elf what was that it was sanga elfo what was the word for goblin it was cobaldo and what was the word for us we are bovolo so yeah we got out here hey you see these um okay so these guys are called bristle back invaders there's some enemies so we're going to kill them and learn how to say their name so bristle means like hair on an animal but like short or maybe on a beard type of thing and the word for that the adjective in esprano is hita hita and it's called hirta so that's the first adjective then it's called back now back i'm assuming it means like all this like bristle running down his back back in esprano is dorsal dorsal and you can kind of associate that with like dorsal fin because it runs down the back that's an easy way to remember it and he's an invader so to invade is invadi and the i at the end of invadi means two so it's an infinitive verb so invadi means to invade manji means to eat you haven't learned that one yet but I just want to represent like show you the i sound at the end so therefore this guy would be a hirta dorsal invadulo hirta dorsal invadulo and i've apparently leveled awesome so i'm totally dominating these guys so let's just move down this way okay let's go learn this bird over here oh no this bird so this is called a plain strider now as I already said this is a kampo this like this this grassy type area so we're not going to say plain because that's basically a plain is like you know just an open field which is a kampo and it says strider now strider as we all know is like someone or something i just kind of like walks a long type of thing but that I wouldn't really translate that I want to teach you guys some useful words so this guy looks like an ostrich and the word for ostrich in esprano is struto struto so let's go kill another camp of struto because that's what they are and again you could also say camp struto if you want but generally when you have two consonants together in espranto you do put you put a sound between them and a a vowel because that way it stops I think it's called constant crashing so just campa struto now you see we've picked up this leg meat so let's translate that shall we now I wouldn't say really like um I wouldn't like reference the leg per se when you talk about like things like drumsticks which is what this here looks like you say femur ajo okay so that's a drumstick or basically it means a thing that's made out of a thigh so femur means thigh ajo means thing and the reason we do that is because this is the best way to understand it okay so you've got fisho which means fish okay now that's a live living swimming fish but a fish ajo is something that's made out of a fish so that's like fish that you'd either shop it's the same concept there so femur ajo is something that's made out of a thigh because you're not munching into someone's thigh while you're standing there type of things like and then suddenly you're like what are you doing dude get off of me type of thing so yeah just remember that that's a mistake I see people commonly make um when they're they're speaking that's front of they say oh I just had some fish and they'll use fisho and you'd be like oh dude you're hardcore you're like a bear at the creep type of thing just rip that out of war and bite its head off no so you say fish ajo and you say femur ajo same concept now before while I was here I picked up a mission from this guy to go over there and kill some stuff or save some people I can't remember um obviously I can't pick that up anymore but I wanted to teach you some pronouns so you see this guy's clearly a dude well he could be a female with some serious facial issues but let's just say it's a dude okay this one is a girl or a very girly man so the pronoun for he is lead okay and the pronoun for she is she it sounds exactly the same as the English one except the s has got like a little hat over the top of it so you've got Lee and she now the way to say is is s thus so to say he is a tauren we say Lee s thus bovula and to say she is a tauren you say she s thus bovula now I just want to point out something here in Esperanto traditionally back in the old days we would if talking about a femur we'd actually specify femur within the action noun itself there's a suffix for femur which is you know so you could say bovino but as time in the world has evolved we've decided you don't really need to specify if it's a male or female so you say bovula however if you really really really want to specify that this is a female tauren you could say bovulino and if you really really want to specify that this is a male tauren you could use vidor and turn it into a prefix and you'd say vidor bovula but no one does that you don't really need to do that unless like unless you're writing in the text that for some reason you need to specify that this is a male female for I don't know breeding reasons or something like that not that we're breeding these dudes but that would be cool if we were anyway so we're back over here we've got some more of these do you remember their names they were well this one is a hirita dorosa invadulo very good and we have another bovula here or a bovulino okay you see this sort of fledging fledgling brave now fledgling an esperanto basically oh sorry in English fledging just means like a young bird now it's not exactly a bird but in English we use it as a cognate for this young so that's basically just yuna and brave there's two ways to say brave an esperanto you've got as an adjective you've got brava and you've got kuraja now there is a very slight difference between the two but most people don't even recognize it and I reckon over time it's just going to completely disappear anyway but brava usually means like bravers in honesty and gallantry and stuff like that while kuraja is more forceful like brave in the face of danger so just for now I'm just going to say this is a yuna kurajulo yuna kurajulo so we're going to save this one over here this yuna kurajulo from this what was the word for it again it was a hirita dorosa invadulo now I know that's a pretty long word but even in English how many times you walk around in this game and go I just killed a bristleback invader no you just say I killed that you know that mob now mob is a generic term for just something that you kill in the game so way to say that is I guess you could say estula which is a being hey dude there's someone else out here anyway so yeah now I came over here before and I found these dudes and I was meant to free them now captured brave I'll like this let's just watch this dude so he's going to free this captured brave now the verb for to capture an espanol is cup tea okay but to say it in past tense as it has been captured you'd say cup tea ta ita at the end means like past tense being so as in ed in English like capture urb so cup tea ta and then again kurajulo so let's just kill a few more of these old buggers and we'll just do a little bit more review while we're at it do you remember what the word for um that our main base up there of all the tents it was tendado do you remember what a single tent is if you knew what tendado is I'm assuming you know this which is tender okay what was the word for a map it was mapo mapo oh so we've got this little young battle bore here okay so again the word for young is yuna to battle is batali and the word for bore is upro so I would just say yuna batala upro now did you see I kind of I didn't say batala upro I just said batala upro because it just felt more natural you choose the one that you want to go with it's like in any language there's multiple ways to say anything so if someone says no you can't say this you got to say this way just you know double check on that because sometimes you could be saying it correct but just using a different way of saying it the problem with I've noticed with a lot of esparanas is especially those who are from like programming backgrounds they like to have one way to say everything they don't like like um it has the best way to say now I'm not picking on programmers I'm just saying that there there's a lot of people out there who will be like no this is it or it's the highway you know there's no other way that's not true in esparano especially um or in any language anyway so let's just head back over this way okay so how would you say he is a bristleback invader so you remember what he is it is Lee and what was is it is estus and bristleback invader you already know that is say and now he's a dead one so he is a bristleback invader we just learned was but how do we say he was because I'm about to kill him now so was is estis estis now did you hear the difference between those two words estus is estis was okay so the difference is ending all verbs in esparanto um the way that they determine if they're present future or past tense is you change the ending so is on the end of any verb means past tense was us means present tense I won't get into future tense or any of the other ones just now because that's a bit much for one lesson so estus is is estis is was so this is steal the money from these guys we always will learn the word for money now um is mono um if you want to specify like an individual coin you'd say monaddo aro means like a piece so monaddo is like a piece of like coins so it's a coin okay let's just head back here and we'll just do some um final revision before we wrap this lesson up because it has been going for a while I think so what is the word for um a brave person you have kudajula or you can say bravulo depending on your preference I'll just go with kudajula because it seems more forceful well not forceful just more courageous I guess so we're going to go back here well check out this dude he's got a pretty sweet gig now you know this is all thing here you see how we've got a bunch of people and they're all grouped around and they're on the defense type of formation this here is afforded to kajo okay and fortica means like um robust or yeah basically just like robust type of thing or um fortified so fort it to kajo is this here it's a fortification so they're all fortified against the enemies out there so let's just head over here because this is where we finish up with this one now do you remember what we called these guys we called them or we called it a campa struto campa struto and do you remember what struto means it means ostrich because these guys are basically ostriches um I know they don't look exactly like it but I want to teach you some useful words that you can use at you know the next universal most final meeting or whatever which I don't know what you're talking about ostriches but anyway off topic off topic so just finish up grab some of these mission stuffs here and grab that so yeah if you've liked this video and you want to see more like it um subscribe if you haven't already and share it with your friends now I constantly say share with your friends because I want to bring more English speakers into the Esperanto movement like get them more interested in the language and I think that you know gaming is a good way to go on about it it's it's a good way to learn some words obviously learning the entire language through this is going to be an insanely long process but you know that's just how it is you know I'll I'll keep making the videos if you guys keep liking them and keep wanting more obviously if everyone stops watching them I'll just cancel that and do something else that might interest you guys but yeah show me the love then I will continue onward you guys are doing awesome so far so I'll see you in the next video and if you're not there well then I might make some film with our joy out of your leg


Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm in Caster in Norfolk today about three miles north of Great Yarmouth We're going to Caster Castle to have a look at the ruins of the castle and its car collection But first, let's go back about 1,800 years. Imagine walking along this road Here would have been the walls of a big Roman fort and about here would have been the gates to this Roman fort Now there is some of it left. It was once very vast There's not a lot of it left but we can go and have a little look around so here We are Caster Roman fort. It's English heritage. It is free to visit So we're going to do this before we do the castle. So as we step in here You can see the low walls of the ruins in front of us. Now if we come to here The gates would have been, well that is the foundation of one of the gates The rest of it would have been in that person's garden. So if you have a quick look at this picture here, you can see We would have walked along there And we're just coming in these gates now. I appreciate it's quite small That picture was quite small. Let's have a look at the picture up here. There'll be a better picture of those gates So we're now walking through, would have been walking through an archway into the fort right now And if we look on this plaque here That is the gate we have just walked through or that's the foundation. It's foundation remains Here are the buildings that have been rows and rows of these going off in both directions So where those bungalows over there are probably deep beneath those bungalows. There's more of this So it's a very vast site. Let's just have a quick look along here So I'm now walking beside the Roman walls. There's something up here I would like to show you, you probably know That the Romans pretty much invented under floor heating which quite a lot of modern buildings have They'd light a fire. There's have various channels running under the floor. If you have a look here We can see some of those channels. See how you got the channels Running along there for the under floor heating So this is all there is really what we can see here under all of those houses and bungalows There's probably a lot more of this what I'm going to do now though I'm going to go back out there continue along the road and we're going to go and find case to castle So to get to case to castle is actually advisable to go by car. I'm saying that and I'm not going by car I came on the train to great Yarmouth and then I got a bus to Caster and I'm now not walking along the disused railway as I Usually do I'm walking along the disused road just here. There's a huge road. I can see the castle over there I looked on the map. There is a footpath across that field. So that's where I've got to go to find case to castle So here we are. I've just arrived at case to castle. You can see the Castle up there. There's people up there waving. So we're going to go up there Look this there is a steam engine one of those ones that doesn't power itself But it would power machinery. That's quite exciting to see and look at that. There's a steam locomotive Let's go and have a quick look at that and that was a nice surprise I thought I was coming here to see a old castle and some cars Wasn't actually expecting to see a steam locomotive. That's for railways. Caster did have a railway But it closed in 1959 Caster station. So that's why I had to come here by bus but at least in Caster In case to castle you can see steam locomotives. So here it is Built by Manning Wardle of Leeds in 1921 and its number. Its works number is 2010 Carries number 42. Paul Veronde. I suppose he works in Veronde Valleys of South Wales. So yeah, that's the works plate So nice to see a steam locomotive. It's an industrial Here we go. Maybe one day she'll be restored and she could run again Maybe they could find another one to replace that, but I don't know. Maybe she'll just stay here This must be the house of where their current owners live now. Here we are. It says warning Deep water in the moat And here's the castle It's very tall tower. I understand it's the oldest brick-built castle in the country And I'm really looking forward to seeing the views from the top of the tower. So let's go through Oh, it's this is the earliest brick-built castle in The country and it's such a scheduled grave one listed for preservation. It's essential to respect the property So here we go If I'd come here a few months ago, I expect the hydrangeas would have looked really nice so Here we are in the ruins of the castle. The moat goes right around there There's more ruined walls over there, and that's the Tower so I'm really Excited to go up there and see the views. No doubt. We're gonna be able to see across to the north of broads Everything so let's go in this tower now Always enjoy going up high up towers. It's always so much fun. So here we go We're inside the tower. Well, look at that. There's no floors Where is a floor right up there? I think we've got a lot of climbing up steps to do. Let's just see what's in this room Okay, so again more No floors quite exciting though quite feels like I'm a bit like doing an urbex exploring an abandoned building but I am actually here because I'm You know here allowed to be here so This looks like the way up the stairs There's someone I'm just gonna pause the camera a minute because a few people coming down the stairs and let them come down Then we'll go up So it sounds like we'll just come down time for us to go up Okay, it's not my actual spare case Stone staircase We hit here See into the castle. Oh I see so yeah, we know go this way up to this little room The rest of the way up is a wooden spiral staircase, so you may be able to see out there into the where we came over That's a bit hard with the mesh windows. That's pretty stuck birds coming Got a lot of climbing to do now, but I do really like going up towers In it's not quite the same But when I've gone to places like Eastern Europe, they often have lookout towers in woodlands On the highest point and I always enjoy going up them, but this is This is different. It's a historic tower which we can climb. You can see how in some places There's some newer bricks It's a thing I put in to help preserve the structure of the castle. We're quite high up now. Have a look at that So yeah, we're not at the top yet, so we're gonna keep going You can hear an aeroplane going over I saw an airfield from the bus my way up from great yarm I'm having counter to steps. It's got to be out for a hundred Come to a room. They've put a concrete floor and be more top We're up quite high. Let's continue. We want to see the views there This is gonna be Really exciting when we get to the top You have a nearly there now. Here we go. Daybreak so here Is the top of the castle? Well, there's a whole castle down there That path there That's what we'll walk along to get here. This huge road is just over there I can see the sea in the distance See the moat See a water tower There's some sort of reservoir thing there There's the car park The car collection is in that building was just like an old school, but it's in there You can also walk around the woodland. You can also walk around the woodlands and then we'll go look at the cars next Looking that way. I can see it's a great yarmouth Camers probably not picking out but I can see the river. Yeah, I can see great yarmouth power station great yarmouth minster It's a good model village in great yarmouth went to there a few years ago We'll see that have a look at Lincoln's screen now I can see The cameras we're not picking up. I can't see the main road that goes in that great yarmouth And that runs on by the railway so the train went along in now I'll see it in distance anyway I'm gonna Go down. We're gonna go and see the classic cars now I'm now doing the woodland walk here a case to castle the car collection Is in a rather huge building over there now. They were Literally hundreds and hundreds of cars and there isn't just cars. There was a tram in there There were fire engines motorbikes bikes pedal cars Or just all sorts and um, I had to walk around there The way it's kind of set out. I didn't really feel that I wanted to walk around talking to a camera Just some places It just doesn't seem appropriate So what I think I'll do what I am going to do is I'm going to insert a few images Of just some of my favorite because I cannot possibly Tell you about everything. My knowledge doesn't cover everything But there were a few cars. It was nice to see a few cars You know, I remember seeing on the road I was particularly pleased to see a trebant in there one of my favorite cars So what I'm going to do now here's a few cars or a bit of writing And or not just cars other things that I saw in there some of my favorite things and um This is the woodland walk which is another addition you can do I'm going to show you then and I'm going to go and get a cup of tea now I hope you enjoyed that little collection of just some of the exhibits in that museum There really was so much I couldn't believe it. I was really happy to see that tram. That was a nice surprise I knew there was going to be a steam loco here And obviously I knew I was coming to see a castle and a car collection I think that's a nice combination of two different things with a steam loco in the middle But it was just a really nice afternoon. So I hope you enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment And from my walk back towards Caster with the castle there in the background. Goodbye


Welcome to this video. Today you're going to learn the difference between few and a few. This is a question that a student submitted and it's a great question and I promise to make it easy for you. Of course, my name is Jennifer from jforestenglish.com and this channel is dedicated to helping you sound like a fluent, confident, natural English speaker. Now before we go any further, make sure you subscribe and hit that bell icon so you're notified every time I post a new lesson. Now let's dive in with this video. Today you're going to learn the difference between few and a few. So notice what's difference here. It's just the article a few. Now the difference in meaning between these two is subtle. Okay. So it's a small difference in meaning and a few is just more commonly used. So just keep that in mind. Now few without the article. This means a small quantity. So I could say few members of the committee were there. Few members. So this means that a small quantity of members were at the committee. It also means that the majority of the members were not at the committee. So keep that in mind. And when I say majority, I'm talking about 90 to 95 percent because few members would be, you know, five percent, 10 percent maximum. Few members of the committee were there. Now I could say a few members of the committee were there. A few, including the article. Now here's where it might seem confusing because the number of members is the same. When I say a few, it's still a small quantity of members. So what's the difference? The difference is on what you're emphasizing. When I say few members of the committee were there, I'm really emphasizing the lack of members. I'm emphasizing that the majority of the members weren't there. But when I say a few members of the committee were there, I'm emphasizing the number, although small, the number of the committee members that were there. So my focus is on the members that were there. So that's the difference. I know. Very subtle, right? Maybe even hard to really understand it. But let me give you a simpler example that everybody can relate to. So let's say you're new in a city, okay? And because of that, you haven't met very many people yet. You can say, I have few friends in this city. Or you could say, I have a few friends in this city. So in both cases, we're talking about a small quantity, right? But think about how it's what you're emphasizing that's different and how this might change the emotion that you have about the statement. Because when I say I have few friends in the city, it's really emphasizing the lack of friends that I have. But when I say I have a few friends in the city, is emphasizing the friends I have. Although it's a small number of friends, maybe only two or three, I still have two or three friends in the city. That's better than zero friends, right? So in the first example, it sounds a little more sad because you're emphasizing lack. In the second example, it sounds a little more positive because you're emphasizing what you have. So if it helps you to think of it like this, you can think of few as not many. I have few friends in the city. I don't have many friends in the city. But you can think of a few as some. I have a few friends in the city, two or three, I have some friends in the city. So they're more closely related and they differ from few. So hopefully that will help you understand the meaning. And remember, it's a very subtle difference, but that article does make a difference. So now it's your turn to practice. I want you to leave two sentences in the comments below, one with few and one with a few. Remember, few, you're emphasizing the lack, but a few, you're emphasizing the small quantity that's there. If you found this video helpful, please hit the like button, share it with your friends, and of course, subscribe. And until next time, happy studying. All right, awesome job with this video. Don't worry if you have to watch it a few more times, a few more times, two or three more times to understand that subtle difference. Okay. And think about the example, seeing them side by side will really help you get the difference in meaning. So do your examples and put them in the comment section. And I'll see you in my next video. Bye.


Hey, let's all take a deep breath. One more. God, it's 2 AM, and I'm walking under the West Seattle freeway, trying to get home, lost my friends, had my 18th birthday, missed the last bus. How did I get here? I remember Marco traces the perfect Cupid's bow in Ruby Woo, magenta blush and silver shadow, terracotta foundation smooth, his subtle stubble. Max douses his body with gold glitter to match his final pants. Joey sits on the couch and reads a book. While I put the final touches on my eyeliner and pull on my bell bottoms, my body births a galaxy of purple velvet stars. We load into Marco's car, stopping on Capitol Hill for snacks. Walking up Broadway, past ostensibly straight men, Max says, look at him. I do him. He's not that cute. I don't care.  A couple passes us on the glittery sidewalk. You want to have sex? Let's have sex. Marco shimmies his shoulders behind a tan muscular man. Stop it, says Joey. We're not talking to you, clearly. Marco loads us into his car. We drive down through the industrial district, silver factories loom on each block. We could be in a small city in the Midwest. The night is so quiet. Except for the hum of street lights, cars whooshing on the freedway, and street lamps casting shadows on steel buildings. And inside, there's such possibility. We park and enter a room packed with bodies.  My friends enter the mass of glowing movement while I stand wiping my brow, tasting salt. And then I'm alone. I've lost them. So I walk. Edging by the Seattle Viaduct, I see cranes flash by, swallowing yellow street lamps by the Pacific Ocean. Do you ever see things that are not there? A swimmer shrouded in blue lights, a mountain of broken glass. I'm not supposed to remember legs like tree trunks, throat and belly and feet swollen, unable to walk.  Bodies packed on bodies, packed on bodies. At home, I run my hands across photographs.  They're wearing lavender and shoulder pads and owl-sized glasses, and it is 1999. My parents migrated from Malaysia. They migrated from the Bronx so that I could leave this all behind. Forget language and forget and forget and forget to be reborn. And images translated from family oral histories. Are you ready for more? Okay. All right. Well, this one's long, so I'm gonna abbreviate. And you can read the whole thing in a way journal in January, so yeah. And I'd like you to read it. All right. And can you hear me? Great. They water-boarded your grandfather, my dad says. He sits at the Cajun table, draws insulin up his orange-tipped syringe, face impassive, focused on the medicine. A Chinese immigrant in his 60s, he's already had a triple bypass. Sleeter Keeney sings the end of you from my boombox on the floor. Our table is cloistered with bows, newspapers, and a dog-eared sassy magazine. Seattle, 2000. The Japanese water-boarded your grandfather. Older generations, they hate the Japanese, but I have no hatred in my heart. I don't mind if you go. Shoulders tense. Dad left Malaysia as a scholarship student during the 60s. This former British colony holds family roots from roughly the 1900s. I've heard fragments of this story before, but the water-boarding is new. I'm flying to visit my friend, who's teaching English in the Japanese mountainside. I'll be fine, dad. So I book my ticket to Tokyo, the most expensive part of this trip. I'm a queer hyphenate, child of a Chinese immigrant and a Bronx-born and bred Jew. 20 years old, first generation Asian-American, I've never been outside the States before. I land in Tokyo, this place of bright pink and blue neon, green billboards, and giant crossings, bullet trains, and subway packers.  So a couple people around me on the train speak English. A middle-aged woman gives me directions to my youth hostel. It's past the McDonald's. Go through Shibuya Crossing. Take a left at the Sony billboard. I'm surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of bodies criss-crossing. Everyone is Asian. My feet move, but I can't feel my legs or chest. My head is detached. I stay in a six-bed youth hostel, tucking maps and journal under my pillow at night, sleep in a sea green slip, pull up the scratchy sheets, and hope that the balmy air yields no earthquakes.  I am this tiny blip of electric blue hair in a city of 13 million. Just another Seattle alternative who wants to, quote, go find herself. It's true. Here I am not oddity. No one stares at me among the swarms of people. The friend is a guise. Otherwise my parents would never let me travel alone. Really, I'm excited to search for my people, queers and subculture. I've never been to Asia before. I wander the neon lights at midnight in Shibuya and then Shinjuku. Shibuya has Alice in Wonderland on acid, swirls of candy colors, street style in high fashion, H&M next to indie boutiques, bars and tiny pod hotels.  Shinjuku has thousands of bodies and cars and mopeds worrying by all neon and gigantic TV screens. Both areas emerged post-1945. Tokyo air raids destroyed more than 90% of these areas, killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced one million. Before the atomic bomb, Japan occupied Southeast Asia, Borneo, Burma, Indochina, including Vietnam, Malaysian, Singapore, Philippines and Thailand, World War II. The Japanese army maimed and murdered with bayonets and guns, mass graves and slow starvation. The war across Southeast Asia killed six to 10 million people. This is the Holocaust no one talks about, my dad says. My family lived in a relocation camp in Malaysia during the war, 1941 to 1945. We are haka, the guest people. My family was lucky because no one died. Wandering the streets of Shinjuku, I fall into a red-lit doorway, welcome guests of Club Rainbow.  Cheesy, but totally recognizable. I walk down basement stairs, saunter in my sunburn face and red mini dress, screaming out, I'm young and alone, there's nothing in nobody to stop me. Step out onto the dance floor and I'm enmeshed in movement, face surrounded by light and texture from crayon colored wigs, gold feathers and rhinestones. Sweat runs down my lip, attractive. I see ravers in fishnet dresses and magenta pigtails, rainbow bright with furry unicorn, strawberry shortcake and stripey tights, all dancing under disco lights. I've stepped into fruits, stretching my arms through the crowd, I find a silver wall to lean against. I try talking to the women next to me, but it's too loud. My tongue is dumb. I am ABC, American born Chinese. Fumbling against the wall, I don't know the culture and there's so much subculture. From the subways and streets and maps I'm learning, here's how to find what you need. It's too hot, I take out my bottle, splash some water on my face. Splat, my grandfather's head tilts upside down as they bring buckets and buckets to hit his face again. Wave after wave, sputtering, spitting, screaming water. It comes down his nose into his eyes, mixing with tears and snot and blood. Covered by cloth, gasp, a baptism, body strapped down to a wooden board. He came home a new man. He failed to salute a lieutenant or maybe he didn't do it fast enough or maybe they didn't like how he looked. Did it matter? He never could remember things as well, got his dates and times mixed up. My dad, who was six at the time, doesn't know exactly what happened. But we were lucky. The army interrogated, detained and killed thousands of others. Waterboarding can dilute your blood. I'm gonna skip ahead a bit. So basically next, this character goes to the countryside to attend a rave to try to find queers. Is she successful? No. Okay. All right, so this is after the rave. And the character sitting with her friend ordering breakfast. Cause when you rave, you stay up til 6 a.m. I'm surrounded by Asian women and they're so submissive. It's the culture. They love to please men. After this confession, he, the friend sits up, fiddles and flashes his camera at a couple of women standing outside the cafe window. What fails to register in a snapshot? After a beat, he turns to me. You're holding your chopsticks wrong. I glance at my hand. It is a claw bunched up pointer finger and thumb near the tip of my chopsticks. My stomach pinches, throat dry and lumpy. I say nothing. Then I shift in my seat, look over his head and pretend to scan the menu. I leave shortly after, escape his gaze and the lonely Japanese countryside. I am Asian, but not Asian enough. I am wrong and a woman trying to find home in diaspora. Here, I'm the imposter. In Tokyo, I become American in ways not possible in the States. It's not home, but it feels more like home than anywhere I've been before. Back in the U.S., I hear, where are you from? Where are you really from? And in preschool, what's wrong with your face? What's wrong with your eyes? ABC, foreign, lives on my skin. Within 24 hours, I leave the mountainside and the only person I know in Japan. Take the bullet train back to Tokyo. I am back to machines and metal and people bustling. Pink neon lights my face as I lean against the steel building in Shinjuku. I think that's brave. You came all the way here and you don't know anyone. Says the pixie face skinny blonde working at a nearby hostess bar.  Feeling free in one of the world's largest cities. At 23, she's an older woman. We chat and exchange phone numbers. We're both strangers. She's from Berlin and I'm from Seattle. Young women, what price is our safety? We're not supposed to walk solo, feel the kiss of night air, nor count the stars while dancing till 6 a.m. with strangers. We're not supposed to wander 5,000 miles from home traveling alone. The night is not ours. Adventure is not ours to claim. Yet here we are. Two young women amidst nightlife, a sparkling sea of strangers in worlds made for men, not speaking the language, not knowing anyone. Standing outside the hostess club, we're the only women. We're the only female travelers. Cleave through what we know of home and homeland. The Japanese held my family during war, put them in internment camps 70 years ago. How can I wander around and feel so free for 10 days in Tokyo? Freedom, so tired, so cliche, so freedom fries. I don't mean it like yoga woman with arms outstretched, a commercial sun salutation where ocean meets sands. This is not running through fields of red poppies.  It can't be contained in a stock image. Instead it's a mess, contradictory. Like when you're at the doctor's office, but they can't find your pulse, but duh, you do know you're alive. Veins beat, pound rhythm against your skin.  It's a queer sense of belonging and possibility to be this tiny light in a city of 13 million, in a country of 125 million, and in a continent of 4.3 billion. My last day in Japan, I walk past silver trains, kaleidoscope billboards, wander small against giant crowds. With the sound of Japanese pop and scooters coming along, daylight turns to night then it's 2 a.m. The ground rumbles, I find a street to lean against. Gonna find home. I'm just another Asian-American queer girl dreaming. Did I really think I could be like Kerouac looking for girls' visions and everything? Poor me, college student traveling to Tokyo while my aunt, a.k.a. mom's best friend, is 65 and working three jobs in South Brooklyn. I'm a tiny figure with a backpack lit by fluorescent billboards, the ground quakes new cement on top of centuries old dirt. I stumble for a few minutes and then find the street back to my hostel. The room is dark, packed with sleeping bodies. I sit on my bunk bed, breathe quietly among the six guests. I'm a tourist in Tokyo and a foreigner in the States. Asia for the Asians. That was the Japanese occupation slogan. Somehow I'm trying to find home against history. Thank you.


Eagles are going to host the Giants as an eight and a half point favorite. They were a big favorite last week as well, didn't cover, and didn't even win. What leads us to believe that the Eagles are going to bounce back here and get the job done? Well, the Eagles did score a lot of points, and the Dolphins did run some trick plays that the Eagles defense was not prepared for. So I think that somewhat explains why Philadelphia has been lackluster here. And also, too, this Giants defense has been just awful. So I think Carson Wentz will be able to do whatever he wants. Keep in mind the advanced metrics say that Carson Wentz has looked like a below average quarterback. But I think intuitively, we know that he is minimum average if not above average. So at some point, he's going to bounce back. And that could very well happen Monday night at home. And then when it comes to Eli Manning, I know we want to have the feel-good story that he has one last run in him. And at the start of the year, his EPA for plate numbers were actually pretty good. And so I'm expecting a higher scoring game. I think we will see an over-total click here. But as far as who's winning and who's covering the spread, I do like the Eagles here because I think they'll be able to do just about whatever they want against the Giants. Whereas Eli Manning, they may be trying to utilize Saquon Barkley more, which is just naturally inefficient. But I like the Eagles to cover with a way over.


Grazing by non-strict herbivorous invertebrates, such as Clibonarius erythropus, Serithium vulgatum, and Eidotia balthica, has been found to have a significant impact on the growth and survival of young Cystocera species. These grazers are capable of consuming large amounts of algae, which can lead to a decrease in the number of available resources for the algae, resulting in slower growth rates and lower survival rates. This can hinder the recovery of Cystocera populations following a disturbance event, making it difficult to restore these ecosystems.

Live from San Francisco, California, it's The Cube at VMworld 2014. Brought to you by VMware, Cisco, EMC, HP, and Nutanix. Hi everybody, welcome back to San Francisco. This is Dave Vellante and this is The Cube. We're here at VMworld 2014. The Cube is our live mobile studio. We go out to the events, extract the signal from the noise. This is our fifth year at VMworld. We're here back at Moscone. It was at least one year, I think, maybe even two that was in Las Vegas. Good to be back in San Francisco. Tom Cook is here, CEO of Permabit, Cube alum. Tom, it's great to see you again. Boy, I'm thrilled to be here, David. Thank you. So it's a big, great show. I mean, a lot of storage action. Storage has always been a problem in the VMworld community. It continues to be a challenge for people. Here are a lot of stuff on VVOLs, a lot of stuff on Flash. Costa Flash is coming down. Flash, Flash, Flash has really been a big theme. You guys are at the heart of that. You've got a technology to really enable data reduction. The tailwind of Flash has been a perfect storm for you guys. So we'll talk about that in a minute. But you've got some news. We have an exclusive here in The Cube. You guys are going to get an announcement coming up next month. You're going to show us a little leg here, right? Right.  So we are previewing an announcement of a new product we have called Sandblocks that we're releasing in September. And it's an exciting deduplication compression appliance that addresses any fiber channel array. And when I say any fiber channel array, that means any Flash, any hybrid, or any spinning disk array. We're really excited about it. So, blocks, VLO CKS? That's right. And the cool thing about it, I mean, let's drill down a little bit on performance. It's at 180,000 mixed IOPS, so 7030 IOPS, extremely low latency, and addresses 256 terabytes of physical storage. So with five or six to one data deduplication, a single unit, data deduplication and compression, a single unit addresses well over a petabyte of data. And you can scale it by adding multiple units to your array and scaling much larger beyond that for both performance and for the addressability. So it comes as appliance, you drop it in. It's sort of an inline approach. Can you just describe from a customer standpoint, because you know what questions they're going to be asking. So let's unpack that a little bit. Right. So you attach it through your switch. There's fiber channel connectivity, Ethernet connectivity for management of it. And the other cool thing about the performance is you have a choice, whether you want to apply it to a loan or to a workflow, a workload or not. So if you have a workflow that really reacts well to deduplication, of course you would utilize it. If not, you can run it straight through to your array. The other great thing about it is we don't get in the way of any of the management function of the array, and we're not competing for resources with it. So it's always an inline, real-time deduplication compression device, and we think it's really exciting for the legacy vendors. Okay, so I can point this at virtually any part of my storage infrastructure. Absolutely, and you can have disparate number of arrays behind it. So this is an interesting move. So your business model to date has been, you've released an SDK, there's some integration that has to get done, but the array vendors got to say, okay, we're going to bet on the albedo technology, but this allows essentially any customer through an OEM relationship, I think, to drop this in and make old legacy storage less expensive without the impact of performance because you guys have a very low latency architecture. Let's talk about that a little bit. You certainly got the punchline there, and this came as like a reaction to broad support and requests from our customer base, the OEMs. They were saying to us, geez, we're implementing with you, but we're still 18 months away from getting to market and we're feeling the pressure today. What can you do to help us today? And so we are making this appliance available exclusively through the OEM reseller channel, and that means to their sales forces and to their resellers themselves to sell this in a preconfigured package for their customers. We're really excited about it because we think that overcomes any obstacle to adoption and really helps the incumbent array vendors to compete with those forces that become disruptive in the marketplace. Will you sell directly to the channel or are you selling through the OEM to the channel? No, it's direct to the OEM, and then they represent it through their reseller programs into the channel. So that's a very clean model. So the demand from this is coming from your OEM partners? Exactly right. So they were feeling the pinch in the marketplace from disruptive forces, the all-flash array vendors that have implemented data efficiency, and suddenly they can't meet that price performance quotient. We know they now can. With most of them shipping hybrids and into all-flash, we certainly think that this makes all the incumbent vendors very competitive. And just to give you a status on it, we're not making any of our partnership announcements today. That'll come in September. But we've been working with major vendors and we've now called six major products in the marketplace. So we're going to see this coming to a theater near you real soon. Well, it's interesting. I remember when you guys announced the strategy, really to focus on OEM, the great strategy, but we knew at the time it was going to take a long time. That's sales cycles and OEM deals take a very, very long time. Maybe you could talk about that a little bit. Why is it such a long term? I mean, it's not only the relationship, but it's many tiers of the relationship. The engineers got to bless it. They got to test it. They got to integrate it. And so it does take a long time. But it sounds like... So talk about that a little bit. But it sounds like you're now really building up a strong base and it's about to explode. So it's a great segue into a question of why did we do an appliance? We wanted to make it more consumable by our customer base. We wanted to make it so they could bring it to market immediately. Other than that, they always have to get products into a roadmap, into a development schedule, and then to a release train. So you're competing for resources there. That takes time. And of course, smaller companies have been able to kind of outmaneuver the larger companies with major product lines in that cycle. This enables the major product lines to continue on that, but to get an interim solution in or a bridge solution in today that will enable them to pass great efficiency to their customers. We think that's a real win for customers and for the legacy array makers. So is that how we should look at this? Are we essentially providing a bridge from the old to the new where the new is going to be fully integrated through the SDK? So talk about the roadmap for the appliance. That's entirely correct. We do expect over the next two to three year period that all arrays will be enabled with a functional and real time data efficiency, so a deduplication compression. Right now, they're not. And so there's a void in the marketplace and we think it's a great place to put an appliance in. The other thing to think about, an appliance has certain advantages. So other people have built ASICs into their storage arrays in order to handle this. In this case, there's no competition for the resources. That means we can operate at a very high level and provide great serviceability to customers right from the start. That's an important point, actually. People sometimes miss that there's no free lunch here. Either you have to throw processing resources at the data reduction or you have to take it post-process, which causes... A lot of people don't want to do things post-process. They want real time. So you're saying the appliance, you've been able to take that load off of the traditional array, which probably couldn't handle it anyway. Well, so certainly they can change their bill of materials over time, but in the near term, this enables them to keep with ROEMs, to keep with their current bill of materials and to have a more capable solution than anybody else in the marketplace. One of the things I like about having you on time is you've got a perspective on the industry. You've been in the industry for a while. You really, I mean, you've got ROEM partners, but you're independent and that you're an arms dealer to these guys. So let's break down what's going on in the flash business, the storage business.  Then you've got the sort of pure hybrids and then you've got the all-flash guys. You've got a range of pricing now from, let's say, $1 per gig or less for up to $2 per gig and an all-flash array or even higher. How are you seeing that hierarchy evolve and what can we expect going forward? So I think there's a few trends going on. First of all, in kind of the array, the on-premise array marketplace today, certainly there have been disruptive moves that have happened and people are having a great deal of success in the hybrid market space and the all-flash array. I think over the next two-year period, and by the way, I don't think it's the architectures that are winning there. I think it's data efficiency that's winning there and those disruptive forces have data efficiency and that's what they've been using to win with. But what's going to happen over the next 12 to 24 month period and I would say that's three to four quarters that we're going to see here or beyond that slightly, we're going to see all arrays get equipped with data efficiency. Very capable compression deduplication. It'll be mine or it'll be homegrown and we're going to bridge that gap with an appliance right now. So there's going to be a battle going on for that market space. We think this product levels the playing field so any incumbent can compete with those disruptive forces. Then of course they've got to contend with more longer term the hyperscale vendors who want to take data at rest and archive data and slower moving data and rest that away. And certainly there's competition there so I think the on-premise will end up being extremely competitive battlefield that maybe fewer companies will share in and win in and if it were me, I'd bet on the incumbents. I think they've got every tool in their belt to win. You're basically making the statement that data efficiency is trumping architecture and that's because the number one reason that you hear from customers that they don't buy into flashes is cost. It's too expensive. They're saying that efficiency is leveling that playing field. I think it is and I think we're going to see hybrids be the predominant product that's being sold in the market place. Not all flash arrays. Not all flash arrays. I mean that's sort of what the forecast show. And I think we're going to see hybrids for a good period of time and I don't think anyone's going to beat the incumbents on broad-based application of hybrid arrays. We had TGIL on today. Yep. And Rob Commons was saying we've got essentially hybrid that's all flash. Right. We've got tiers of flash within the all flash array. Yeah. And they're winning on data efficiency too. Yeah. He's talking about cheap and deep flash. I was like, wow, music to my ears. So that was pretty interesting. Okay.  So you asked one question earlier about the kind of development of the OEM model and how it takes time. I think it's taken a little bit more time in our view than we thought it would when we started down this road. But now what we see is the market's really quickening. And so we think over the next 12, 24 months, there's going to be data efficiency, deduplication compression everywhere. And it's the talk of the town here. All right, Tom. That's excellent. Great segment, as always. Really appreciate you coming on the queue. Thank you, David. Oh, one other thing, though, before we go. I want you to be the first in the new style trend here. And I'm wanting to hand it over to you. No storage bloat. There you go. All right. Fantastic. Alberio Sand Blocks. Actually, BLOX with an X. All right. Love it. Keep it right there, everybody. We'll be back with theCUBE at VMworld 2014. We're live. We'll be right back.

stion. Deej says aris. Are you saying that jesus wasn't real? I'm not entirely sure about that. I think that there was some core Uh inspirations for the jesus character. I don't think there was just one I don't think you could if you had a time machine and a guide who spoke aramaic I don't think you could find The jesus you're looking for if you found a jesus it wouldn't be the jesus you wanted You got it this one coming in from think that's some of your things for your final question we got says Why did birds that lived away from humans for thousands of years develop the ability to speak the time that those who lived with us didn't This is god's way What speak the time I don't Does anybody know Is he's saying that birds evolved the ability to speak Even though they weren't living near humans for their model Okay, uh, okay, right. Okay, so Well, if I could read it one more time just in case anybody else didn't get it I think I get what you're mean But they say why did birds and then Dr. T will kick it right over to you They said why did birds that lived away from humans for thousands of years develop the ability to speak During the time that those who lived with us didn't Be real simple about it certain species are not going to just spontaneously learn how to speak because they have to live with humans they You know that there's just it has to be something that's naturally selected for it has to serve a purpose We know that birds have learned how to sing or vocalize because it offers it confers as a selective advantage It's typically something across many of these species that we see that just males that sing and they're advertising to females And they're using it in a very reproductive context So that's my answer to that You got it. Yeah, thank you rich high flyer says i'm not sure if there's a god of the universe But I do know there's a god of modern day debate and his name is arin get a fan offer arin This one from kd five six 81 says keep up the great work arin. I learned a lot from you Yeah, gotta give some love to chris because he did a really extraordinary job here. I appreciate that. Thanks. Yeah Yes 100 percent same on the other side too. I really appreciate the the conversation we've had so far Thank you. This has been fantastic. I've got to say I appreciate that you guys have had the the perfect mix of Being cordial and also being passionate. That makes it fun as like it's fun. It's just nice when it walks that line It's just right kind of goldilocks of where it's passionate and yet it's not going off the rails It's it's reasonable still so I appreciate it. This has been a fantastic debate I want to say thanks everybody watching our guest or linked in the description So there are 712 people watching right now and I'm sure this is going to get tens of tens of thousands of views Folks, I've got to tell you our guests are linked in the description So if you'd like to learn more about their positions You certainly can by clicking down below I highly encourage you you can check out those links right now including if you're listening via the podcast All of the modern day debate debates end up on the podcast if you didn't know that folks It's ad-free.

Thank you very much You know, thank you so much James. Yeah, this has been fun My pleasure and hold on sorry the after show This is how you guys just two last ones. This is samir for saying says sal you're smart But you don't talk at all. Oh my gosh, that's a huge dog. Is that a bear? I'm sorry to interrupt you james. That is a big one. What the heck is that? It's a great piranese He was a rescue. He walked into my house like he lived here because his owners threw him away Oh Aren't you scored? I love him scored This one from one two last ones. They snuck them in there was a compliment from samir. So sal you're smart You don't talk enough. They want to hear you talk more Syru syrupy says I Stand dr. Thompson to your point. I hear starlings in the parking lot of my work mimic car alarms Yeah, they do. They're amazing mimics So you can even get starlings to vocalize and even make some human noises too. So they're awesome That's cool. Yeah. Well sing too With that Cindy and I have an after show on my channel. Just FYI You want to do a reason or yours? I'm streaming as well if people want to come into my channel. I know I don't need to steal everyone but Happy to answer some more questions and talk a little bit with people too. So Sadly, I have deadlines. I have to meet I've got projects.  Got it. Well, we'll let you go. Thanks.

So that's amazing and want to say We hope that you enjoy the live chat as well as if you watch afterwards I know some people are like man, I didn't get to uh, you know, I don't get to watch live But I enjoy watching after we hope that it's enjoyable for you for real We hope that you feel welcome and so seriously. I'm gonna want to say just some shout outs Wolfos. I see you there in the old live chat living room speakers. Good to see you again Kata Jabril. Thanks for coming by standing for poop aka standing for truth. Good to see you Thanks for dropping in character 57. Thanks for coming by says james That's uh, what's with you and these polls man I did and I liked it quote. I did but I feel stimulated to do it now We appreciate thanks so much. We appreciate that See you stimulated not like that you sicko What I want to say magpana is good to see you there says I saw Anna Casparian Name drop modern day debate to denis prager on her show the other day Modern day debates reputation is growing james. Thanks for that I I was super encouraged a lot of people sent me that as it's true We were mentioned just in passing. We weren't the focus, but we were mentioned in passing on The young turks as well as sam cedars show because I saw sam's got a million subs The young turks has got like five million subs. So that is super encouraging. I told you guys before It's really happening. Seriously. This is a small win to celebrate I mentioned before I said believe me folks. This is like six months I started saying it maybe even 12 months ago. I started saying it. I said, hey, believe me modern day debate is continuing to grow We are going to have it such that you're going to see people big names on Twitter and they're going to say hey, we should debate and they're going to say well who where should we debate? And they'll say well modern day debate. That's what I've heard of that's neutral I'm telling you it's actually happening So we ought to celebrate that small win as it's true the brand that the modern day debate It's presence on youtube really has expanded its boundaries Which is we're not ashamed of saying we want to grow and it's not for some sort of sad Narcissistic thing of me like whoa so many subscribers That would be sad instead. It's because we have a big vision folks We firmly believe that modern day debate has an important meaningful purpose in particular We want to provide a level playing field so that everybody can make their case on A natural or neutral debate platform. You can tell I didn't get a lot of sleep last night I've been stumbling all over my words today, but I want to say thank you guys for your support seriously It's been really busy, but I am excited my dear friends. It's all going to pay off I've been putting in a ton of it's been kind of exhausting emotionally I've been trying to set up some really big debates And one of them has been it's been taking as the old phrases the old phrase the patience of job It's it's been uh, it's been so Emotionally draining as I've been listening and waiting for a response and and saying like hey, uh Hopefully we get a response and trying to set up a debate that if this debate happens It's still not it's still kind of in the air and we're not sure But if it happens, I'm telling you modern day debate will become a major It'll get major recognition and we will get probably even mentioned again on the young terse I'm not excited. It would be that big that I actually think it's probable that it would get mentioned so It would be and not just mentioned in passing but mentioned for how big this debate would be and we've got enough number of other debates as well Namely at this conference These are going to be gigantic seriously, so I'm telling you I'm not making this up Jeremy Nolan, thanks for coming by says James debate c o v i d origin Maybe we've got to be careful. I've got to be honest. I've seen some of these channels get nuked overnight I'm not joking. It looks like it's a nightmarish scenario Some of these channels. I've seen some of these youtubers Basically, they say hey, I woke up and I got an email from youtube and I've I don't have any strikes currently And all of a sudden I get an email from youtube that says hey, we looked over a lot of your videos usually because I won't say why what instigates it because Just no need to say it But long story short youtube for some reason or another Decides to review a bunch of videos on a channel and then they say You violated youtube terms of service. Uh, this would would have been three strikes had we seen it When it happened and so you're done and they just delete the whole channel So you guys you've heard about snico recently snico with a million subs On one channel. I think his other channel had like 750,000. It was huge as well Boom gone overnight So snico is one person we're going to invite to our debate con conference by the way So want to let you know about that namely we want to talk to him about whether or not big tech is unfairly nuking channels So youtube has gone scorched earth on a lot of these people. We think it's sad I frankly don't agree with snico on everything. I don't agree with I mean, you know, there's everybody I'm going to disagree with them in some way, but I wouldn't want them to be Banned from youtube because they have controversial views So that's something that we will probably talk about at our conference ironically And origami says kfc versus mcdonald's debate. Thanks for that idea origami and then greg warrenner Thanks for coming by we are glad that you are here says Greg warrenner if you guys create a market for this watch out because a bigger fish will compete with you guys Yeah, I suspect that I've always suspected that there's probably going to be People that try to duplicate. In fact, I've seen a number of Channels try to duplicate in my opinion. I know this sounds probably a little. I don't know Let me know if it sounds cringe. There are some channels I've seen pop up in the last year or two that I think that they're copycat channels. I just I'm like wow that looks a lot like modern day debate And it looks a lot like our branding and it's so to me. I think that yeah, it's true We've we've been very fortunate very blessed. Whatever you want to say or however you want to call it and We're very grateful. Thank you guys for your support Like I I feel blessed like this has been a total blast You guys have been super supportive and I appreciate that we want to encourage you I've got friends that are muslims. I've got friends that are Muslim that are atheists that are christians that are you name it I am thankful that you guys that we have transcended. I know that a lot of times it's like oh I'm not going to be friends with those atheists or I'm not going to be friends with those christians Or I'm not going to be friends with those muslims I would say folks you are missing out on so many possibly good relationships if you write off everybody from a group like that Do not succumb to that. That's a sad degenerate form of kind of psychology You can't succumb to that type of tribalism I highly encourage you be friend. I know I'm not telling you you're going to like everybody from every other group It's true. Every group's got some people that are just cringe and you don't want to be around them I'll be honest. That's obviously true But I nonetheless I've got to tell you I've had friends from all walks of life That have supported me in my hard times and I'm thankful for that and they continue to support me And I just want to say I appreciate that so we hope you feel welcome whether you be atheist christian muslim creationist evolution you name it whatever it is We are glad that you were here as well as triage gaming. Thanks for coming by says I remember subscribing when you had 80 or what is it just 60,000 subscribers we've grown a lot. I think it's like Almost 30,000 this year. I can't remember we it's but yeah, it's it's been huge. So we are really grateful. So We are super thankful. We appreciate everything you guys It's been a total blast And we are just I'm telling you this is just the beginning of our story Moderate debate is absolutely obsessed with being fully neutral Our moderators are not going to take you know, you could see some channels The moderator will systematically jump in and take the side of one of the speakers or one of the sides in a debate And it's like, hmm kind of obvious where the moderator stands on this even though they didn't actually explicitly tell us Likewise, we're different from all of because every, you know, frankly tons of channels host debates But we're different than all of them in the sense that and i'm not joking because even intelligence squared Is a youtube channel that's bigger than ours at least in subscriber count They're they like have a way bigger subscriber count although though their most recent Debate or like their most recent videos that they release on average the mode view count or even the average Is smaller than ours and i'm not trying to brag. I'm just saying I think modern day debate is doing something different here It's fully neutral intelligence squared. I'm saying it. I'm telling you they've got videos where it's like There's clearly one side. There's a video where it's one side taking one position And you might be like, well james, you know, you could do that You could always just have another video that has one side taking the opposite position But the thing is I don't know if they keep track in terms of whether or not Let's say primarily these videos might lean politically right And maybe only like 30 percent of the one-sided videos are politically left or it might be vice versa Like maybe they're 70 percent politically left And 30 percent politically to the right in which case it's like well, that's kind of clear like you guys are kind of Seeming to like on average push a particular view. We don't do that. We don't have any interviews. We've had people offer interviews big times like sometimes big time people and we've said like Yeah, we don't really do interviews. It's got to be a debate where we can't just do it an interview because It's just not how we roll every every single stream every single video that's uploaded is going to have both sides represented That's important for us Tuss beatbox. Thanks for your channel support. Seriously. It means a lot. Appreciate you being a channel member perfect one Thanks for coming by and thanks for being a mod Thanks for your support says Appreciate that if you build it they will come as I've got to tell you I always thought and here's the thing I put out a poll on youtube recently. Let me tell you guys something I put out a poll on youtube Just I think it was like super late last night. I couldn't sleep as I told you so I can't remember I think it was like was it 11 or I don't know whatever time it was I put out a poll And I was wondering I was like what is it about modern day debate that people have enjoyed it Like what's made it fun because that's the truth. You could do something and be like Yeah, but like what is it about modern day debate that people have enjoyed like is it because like I said I In the post they said I suspect it's the quality of the speaker I think we have good speakers and if they're not great debaters they're oftentimes entertaining and once in a while Okay, I've admitted we've got to improve our vetting sometimes. It's not great I've admitted I've admitted to we've got to improve our moderating and me in particular But here's the thing I've got to tell you my dear friends I asked people in this poll What is it about modern day debate that you really like if you had to pick one thing that you like most What is it? And I was like, you know, I think that it would be that it's because we're fully neutral because that's like kind of rare It's a it's a very rare brand move Is that we're like, hey, that's us like that's our identity That's the most important thing we want to be known for is that like we're going to give everybody a fair shot We're not going to take sides And then I thought well, maybe it's because we cover stuff that the mainstream media doesn't cover This probably sounds so braggadocio. I'm not trying to brag. Sorry about that. If I seem like I am It's not that I'm trying to brag. I thought but like I said, I was trying to figure I was like, maybe it's because, you know, we cover Stuff that the mainstream media won't cover like that, you know CNN is not going to have a debate on creation evolution They might have had like a sound bite like 10 years ago back when religion debates were hot But they would not have had like, you know a two-hour debate like we do So that's one thing and likewise, they'll never have a flat earth debate Even a sound bite of it. Maybe a sound bite I've seen like little segments back when it was really popular like I saw little segments on some news stations But they'll never go as deep as we do and frankly, there are some topics that we have that they probably wouldn't cover like We're we at least cover them more often. So like let's say Aliens UFOs Whatever and bigfoot all that stuff So I would say I think that maybe it's that we cover topics that the mainstream media the news the mainstream news doesn't cover And likewise, yeah, like I mean the mainstream news like what mainstream news is going to have is islam violent We have that debate this friday night. You don't want to miss it. It's going to be huge apostate prophet and david wood Teaming up it is going to be gigantic as they're taking on Perfect Dawa and Nadir Ahmed who are both very experienced debaters as well. This is going to be a monstrous debate this friday for real So that's one thing But I've got to tell you. Yeah, my dear friends. I really appreciate all of your support And yeah, I also was like, well, maybe it's the variety of topics because we're not just politics We don't just do political debates. We don't just do religion debates. We do science debates, too You know, we talked about all sorts of the UFOs or aliens things like that creation of illusion We do everything So it's like, well, like maybe that's it. And then we also have different formats You know, sometimes we have one versus one two versus two sometimes we have a six person panel Probably going to do less of those those are probably too big But nonetheless, it's at least a big variety of types, right And most people let me check on the poll right now because you're probably like, oh, I don't know What does the poll say james the last I checked it was almost double the highest one was Most people said I like that you guys are neutral That's like the coolest thing about modern a debate, which seriously we appreciate that because we try really hard to be neutral The second one, yeah, so that's 47% the next one a distant Second was 24% and by the way, you're kind of like, oh, well, this is probably only like 100 people that voted on the poll It was 1,700 So it was a pretty good like a pretty decent sample And oftentimes a lot of people don't realize that you actually don't need nearly as huge of a sample as you might expect to Now obviously the random part is most important But if it's a random sample, which this frankly actually isn't But nonetheless with a random sample, you can actually get a pretty good Grip of things numerically even with millions of people with Significantly smaller numbers, but again, it has to be random. This admittedly is not really random. It's not random but nonetheless Everybody's welcome to respond to the poll So if somebody was really wanting to say something we also opened it in the comments where people could say whatever they wanted Which by the way, the most common thing in the comments was Modern day debate is neutral. So every like tons of channels host debates on Debates, you know, like we're not the first and We're certainly not the only one that do it does it now But nonetheless, I think people say, hey, you know what? I like though that it's it's very neutral You guys give everybody a fair shot. So We are excited to do that We believe that's a value to youtube and that youtube deserves a better class of debate channel And we're going to give it to them. That's what modern day debate is doing So we want to say thank you guys for all of your support seriously It's just honestly, it's been great. We appreciate you guys. We love you guys Thanks for your kind words standing for poop says the best part of modern day debate is james is 25 inch biceps That's funny And uh, but yeah, I appreciate that.

That's one thing I worry about to be honest So that is something I think about and it's one reason why I've been like I'm definitely not going to just jump into any debate. Omega weapons.
