Yeah no, “you think they’re hostile because of an accent”? Please. The interviewer themselves says something to the effect of “I must say I think it’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask” which then gets him to ease up about it and explain himself. Either way, not hallmarks of a great educator, at least in that interview specifically. I think someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson would have handled the question in a better manner. Anyway, not worth having an internet debate over; especially not when you’re going to get downvoted for disagreeing.

I don’t really assume since Im basing it off what I watched of the interview and come to that opinion. He just seemed unnecessarily hostile/antagonistic to the interviewer when it came to that question. Being a “great mind” doesn’t really excuse it and detracts being a good educator imo.
Great video. I mentioned it in a discussion about the strangulation porn ban in the UK; specifically the “women strangled by a partner are 750% more likely to be murdered by said partner” statistic. Someone chimes in with “that sounds like a completely fabricated stat”. I have to assume due to the name that came after Dr. That magnet interview wasn’t particularly flattering either.
Did I suggest that was an issue, that I couldn’t? Yes, I could have nearly 50% of the screen taken up by two sets of captions, one functional and one annoyingly used to try grabbing attention. That certainly is an option. Better than the EA tier “what, you guys don’t have karaoke?” though I guess.

Offbeat@lemmy.ca•Man who took Hamilton bus on joy ride 'did a great job' driving, left no dings, say policeEnglish
46·11 days ago“He even went as far as to deny someone looking to board with an expired bus pass,” police said in the news release.
Holy shit that is funny.
Yeah, a social experiment to see if his views and click throughs increase. Leading to increased engagement.
That is done for timing, doesn’t do a couple words at a time and doesn’t flash on and then off of the screen immediately in most cases. What am I going to talk in time with whatever content creator? It’s purely done so people can see as much of what’s being said as possible in brief moments they scroll past/hover over the video while it autoplays without audio and to drive engagement. Not for accessibility or readability.

Whatever this image is meant to be aside. As someone who relies heavily on captions, anyone who uses this shitty, engagement baiting form of “captioning” can go step on an entire bucket of legos.

3·12 days agoI somehow stumble across 30 rock compilation videos on YT. Hilarious looking show, already grabbing the first season. One of those shows I’ve always heard about but never got into, much to my regret.

Casual Conversation@piefed.social•Wow Mr. is that a smile?English
34·13 days agoIf they said that verbatim that is super unprofessional and highly inappropriate conduct for a workplace. Best way is to pull them aside and tell them in private that you don’t appreciate such remarks. Otherwise, in a functional workplace report it to a manager/HR. That second quote alone would be grounds for a review if not more. What a fucking psycho thing to say to a work colleague. It reeks of workplace bullying.

Lemmy.world Support@lemmy.world•Why am I seeing posts from blocked instances?English
3·14 days agoYup, it would be much better if it just blocked all users from the instance as well. Or it at least gave you the option for the shittier instances.
This user came into a post about a doordasher posting that they had gotten punished by the company after complaining of sexual assault. Bennyboy posted to the effect of “everything is assault these days” and went on to assert that the woman in question was “probably shit her job and made it all up”. They are quite literally a “nice guy” if their flipping out didn’t make that apparent already. Edit: I’ll just leave this here




Seven figures while semi-literate? If you say so. The way you type is strikingly close to another clearly unwell poster that posted similar grandiose claims.
