Get it?

Having posted a video of Roy Chubby Brown's magnum opus "Who the **** is Alice?" only yesterday, I feel this generalisation is a slight overreach.

Quite appropriate it was too. Dumbass.

Again, so what? First, isn't this a good thing that any employee, including senior engineers, can get their voice out there and be heard. I don't see any possible downside to that at all. Second, my point still remains ~ this possibly disgruntled employee has no direct power inside of google.com... so this is all just farts in the wind. This is a complete nothing-burger. Repainting a #### on a loco >>>>>>>>> this crap.

No, I don't watch youtoobz. Sorry about that.

I suppose I'm not being fair. Dogs on the internet have just learned to use keyboards. Watching videos is probably beyond them still.

YouTube is a platform, nothing more.

You sound like a fool.

You seem to have all the answers, why are you even in this thread? Seems like you're just wasting your time.

Have you finally shown those windmills who's boss yet?

The left: "I've read most of the significant political theory regarding X and have published widley about it. I've spent years studying it from various angles and understand it's a nuanced issue with no easy answer but the preponderance of the evidence suggests Y is the most prudent course of action"

The right: "here is a yoootoooobz".

As are peer reviewed journals. You should look up false equivalency.

OK, now I feel that congress-critters/etc are "virtue signalling" 99.9% of the time. I hope you are happy now.

How often, as a percentage, do you feel congress-critters/etc are "virtue signaling" ??

The telltale sign is not the mere posting of a utoobz, it's the follow up of "I'm not summarising a forty minute rant from someone you've never heard of, listen for yourself".

I don't think I've ever seen an alleged "leftist" or "SJW" do that on this forum. Possibly not never, but it's definitely a rare beast compared to our OSJer crowd.

Clovis: I'm a dog on the internet and I don't understand things. Banging on this rectangle thing makes lines appear in front of me and that is fun. I also bark at things that move suddenly.

That's because SJW videos on YouTube are nothing but screeching garbage. Leftists really have zero credibility in the when it comes to developing ideas or intelligent thought.

Thread title needs changing to "GFY".

You know what has tremendous impact on every day life - peer reviewed journals. Every day I wake up and live my life by the way some academic with zero real world experience tells me how to be. LOL!

Do these journals frighten you though? Like when they've been rolled up because you've been a bad dog? Or are you more used to fetching them from the end of driveways? Just curious....

LOL no. You're the one who is supposed to have all the answers regarding this SJWer thingee. I'm the dude who is full of questions and ready to learn. Somehow you got it all ass-backwards... like a silly little OSJer often will.

Uh, that's what every single one of us Politards is always and only doing here... conspicuously wasting time.

You have won the thread.

This is my favourite post in some time. So perfectly sums up the right.

Your postings betray your lack of sincerity.

Okay, that's certainly one hypothesis. Maybe "leftists" realise they don't have all the necessary utoobz superpowers to back them up. But that doesn't explain why when the "rightists" inundate us with 20m+ videos they refuse to summarise or explain the arguments within in their own terms. I mean, it's a pretty obvious refusal to engage with their own citations. It often (always) comes across as though the person doing it doesn't understand citations at all.

Clovis, why don't you go and wish death on someone? That's more your style.

Peer review is dead, long live the utoobz!

Just about every bisness you go to polices speech. It is most likely why you don't get called an ass mush as you should.

A couple points.

1) Yes, the videos do tend to be long and narrative. It's important to understand the entire context though. Wouldn't want us to just "cherry-pick" our point without presenting the entire argument.
2) We do often link directly to time stamps. Usually those videos require less than 5 minutes of watching. (And I know this contradicts point 1, but still a valid consideration).
3) Obviously they're not transcribed. It's easy to copy and paste from an article. It doesn't mean the YouTube source is any less valid.
4) YouTube is much more consumable. It's easier for these content creators to create and monetize their content by creating videos. Writing articles simply isn't as lucrative.
5) YouTube and other alternative media (or was....I think their recent demonetization might force that content elsewhere) the forefront of political thought. The canary in the coal mine if you will. To ignore it would be unwise.

The old media is dying and that is painfully obvious.

One last note - citations ARE usually just links - that's how they work. They are often not repeated verbatim.

I already linked to the flaws of peer review in other threads. Plenty of peer review on it.
