Most of these I just get from context without fully committing to memory. One of the things that really bugs me is all this mileage "influencers" :evil: get from "reacting" to stuff. Hardly any of these dunces actually "do" anything. A lot of it is reacting to old stuff they just "discovered."

Stupid attack forthright.

I don't think reaction videos themselves are the problem. Watching personalities whose opinions you respect can be interesting. I think it's more the ridiculous culture that's risen up around them in the clickbait Youtube realm etc. The older/serious creators wouldn't bill such content as "react" videos unless satire. But in reality, the Russian math teacher who posts daily examinations of astronomy and physics news is essentially doing react videos.

AKA the problem isn't the medium or the format, it's the conventions and horrific popular culture it's begotten. I don't ever check the "popular" page (or whatever it's called) of Youtube unless I want additional reasons to hate humanity. I don't even want to know the things that happen on Instagram, Tiktok, etc.

On one hand, these are the same complaints progressive generations have always had about new media. But on the other, a lot of it truly is vapid and expectations only seem to be getting lower. Some of the stuff I tune in to on Youtube is silly, but most of it's thoughtful and well produced (even when it is silly), and some of it's downright educational. Our viewing options are a lot better than when we were limited to whatever was on television in decades past. We just have to make good choices and hope most of the kids and dumb****s grow out of moneymaking sludge they're currently tuning into.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

I like it when people discover cool things from the past. I often ask my son, "Did you know about...?" What irks me is people making it all about them. I thought it was cool when I found out from my parents about things like Benny Goodman, Beethoven or Tom Lehrer. But they didn't break out an 8 mm camera to record me bugging my eyes out.

Yeah, the majority of the contrived, overreacted stuff is tripe. But some of the earnest series/channels actually have something to say.

I actually think it works better without the missing panel as well.
It's easy enough to infer what's going on without the additional panel but, that's the way it's presented on the creator's page so I figured it was worth noting.

Wiki
The Barbie Liberation Organization or BLO, sponsored by RTMark, are a group of artists and activists involved in culture jamming. They gained notoriety in 1993 by switching the voice boxes on talking G.I. Joes and Barbie dolls. The BLO performed "surgery" on a reported 300–500 dolls and then returned them to the shelves of stores, an action they refer to as shopgiving. This action resulted in girls opening their new Teen Talk Barbie to hear it say phrases such as "vengeance is mine" and boys hearing their G.I. Joe say "The beach is the place for summer."

I worked at Toys R Us for several years. Let me tell you, putting a Barbie back into its packaging was the most difficult task I ever encountered.

Should've removed the 48th star.
Ohio is well-known as the 17th state admitted into the United States in 1803. The land now known as Ohio was part of the Northwest Territory. Ohio was the first state carved out of the old Northwest Ordinance laid out in 1787. The others were Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.

In November 1802, the Ohio State Convention, located in Chillicothe, petitioned for admittance in the United States by approving the Ohio Constitution. Thomas Worthington, a delegate of the convention, personally delivered the document to Washington, D.C. and presented it to Congress in December. Congress proceeded to approve the action in accordance with President Jefferson’s newly signed 1802 Enabling Act, but forgot one critical thing, they neglected to ratify the Ohio Constitution.

In 1953, some 150 years and 31 states later, Ohio was getting ready to celebrate the state’s 150th birthday. In preparation for Ohio’s sesquicentennial, some Ohio school teachers headed to Washington, D.C. to obtain copies of documents pertaining to Ohio becoming a state in 1803. They thought, just as they do now, that this would be a good way to make history more exciting. Think about it for a second. Would you rather read about Ohio’s admittance into the Union in a musty old textbook or look at the actual documents? But a problem occurred because, the Library of Congress did not have some of the documents. Namely, the legislation that granted statehood to Ohio. It was quickly realized that Ohio technically hadn’t been legally admitted into the United States in 1803. This was a problem.

I left Ohio back in 1998 and moved to Chicago. But up until that point it was like anywhere else. Some good people, some bad people. I'm assuming that's still the case. I have a lot of friends that still live there and they're mostly decent people with common sense.

It's not like we're the Ontario of America, for Christ's sake.

Every time I see an NC license plate with that slogan, my read is that they run away before anyone else and are proud of it.

NC claiming First in Flight is like that kid in school who gets assigned to your group project, does nothing the entire time while you do all the work, and then at the end tries to take all the credit.

From my understanding the Wright Brother's picked NC because of the wind and air uplift coming off of the ocean and they had a nice flat stretch of land they could use. Everything else was done in Ohio.
