The first batch of LEGO Jurassic World The Fallen Kingdom sets
has been revealed today, and there will be seven System sets.
But, we're also getting three Juniors sets and three Duplo sets,
and the press release also say there will be a Brick Headz set,
books, clothing, and animated videos.
Like wow.
I knew the Jurassic World 2015 sets sold well,
but LEGO is going all out here.
I've never seen a movie get Juniors, Duplo,
and regular System sets at the same time.
Like, even Star Wars, which is LEGO's most popular licensed line,
has never gotten Juniors or Duplo sets.
Kids love dinos and LEGO knows this sells.
Many of the other sets have leaked,
but for the only three revealed today,
the regular system set is a decent $40 set for the value,
I won't get it though, since the Blue the Raptor and the Ken Wheatley and Owen minifigures
all come in the big Mansion set.
Can't wait for that one to be revealed sometime.
The press release actually mentions that more sets
will be shown at the New York Toy Fair.
The Juniors set is good for kids - the unknowing parents will overlook
its fifty price tag which is ridiculous for 150 pieces.
At most, I'd like the set to be 40 bucks,
considering the T-Rex is a big figure,
but it still doesn't look like enough play for a fifty dollar set.
It's a shame since I think the build here is really fun -
it reminds me of this Jurassic Park 3 set which I loved when I was younger,
and the baby dino is so cute.
The Duplo set is adorable, and a good deal for thirty bucks.
It's so weird to see Owen as a Duplo minifigure,
since he's more of an adult character.
I dunno.
Little things to note - I guess Mattel owns that cutesy Jurassic World kids logo,
because LEGO is still using the main logo that will probably scary away Duplo kids,
and my gosh, the packaging is beautiful for regular sets - the corner art is incredible.
Still, it's weird how the logo is just Jurassic World,
and not Jurassic World The Fallen Kingdom.
The back of the box shows how you can build hybrids,
and it also shows which dinos come in which sets -
which is useless in my opinion,
since it doesn't count the two store exclusive sets and the Juniors sets.
Anyways, what do you guys think?
Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
I'll see you guys later.
Peace out.
Bye.

Afrin | Washington, DC Has Won The War In Syria | Syria 15 - Duration: 9:30.
Hey there.
So this past week the Turkish military commenced operations against the YPG in Afrin, in the
Northwest of Syria.
My audience really wants me to weigh in, so I've been looking at Syria again after a
while.
And I've come to a really grim conclusion.
I think the US government has won the war in Syria.
For the next couple minutes I'm going to throw out ethics, morals and common sense,
and talk very simply about Washington DC's goals in Syria, and how thoroughly they have
been achieved.
Don't worry we'll get back to morals and ethics at the end.
So Syria's president Bashar Assad is still in charge of more territory than anybody else
in Syria.
This is supposedly a big failure for the US.
But in truth, Washington, DC's goal was never a better form of government, or the
welfare of the Syrian people.
It was always about sticking it to Syria, one of very few countries that has ever had
the courage to stand up to the United States and our ally Israel.
And it was also about sticking it to Syria's allies in Russia and Iran.
The Chaotic nightmare that the Syrian people have suffered over the past 7 years has served
these purposes very well.
In the US we have a massive victimization complex, and we believe everybody's winning
in Syria except for us.
Let's take a look at some of these winners.
Bashar Assad, the President of Syria, used to be in firm control of his entire country.
The news over the past year has been all about how he's "winning" but what is he winning
exactly?
Between 2012 and 2017, Turkey, the United States and a bunch of Gulf countries spent
billions to take half his country away from him.
Assad has taken a lot of it back, but his country has been destroyed, and the folks
who destroyed it are going to make sure he doesn't get any humanitarian money to rebuild
it.
He's an international Pariah, and the absolute best case for his retirement is a cold apartment
in Moscow.
Iran is supposedly another big winner.
This is absurd.
After the space for Sunni Jihadists that the US and Turkey opened up went a little further
than intended, and almost overthrew Iraq, Iran had a lot to lose.
For a minute there it looked like it might take Syria, Iraq, and then come gunning for
Iran.
The Iranian regime had to spend billions of dollars it didn't have fighting ISIS.
We learned last month what the Iranian people think of that.
The US public had a bit of brief ISIS panic before the Ebola panic pushed it out of the
headlines back in 2014.
Iran has been fighting for its life for the past 3 and a half years.
Washington, DC experts want us to believe that Iran is now about to take over the whole
region.
That's Ridiculous.
Iran has now barely crawled back to the regional position it was in in 2011, Except now there
are US bases in Iraq and Syria, and the Iranian public is just about done with foreign adventuring.
Russia isn't quite as screwed as Iran is, but they are trapped in a quagmire too.
How many times has Russia declared victory and announced their withdrawal from Syria
now?
It's got to be at least three times.
Putin desperately wants this war to be over.
Unfortunately, the prestige of his kleptocratic regime is deeply wrapped up in Syria continuing
to look like a success, so he's stuck with this ulcer, more than two years into what
he had hoped would be a brief engagement.
And now Turkey.
Sigh Turkey.
I don't know what the hell it was, Ottoman dreams, or just the urge to be a good NATO
ally for the United States, but Turkey took a lead role in the "Get Assad" project
from the get-go.
They have gotten burned hard.
The Turks were on board with the "Get Assad" project, but less so with the "Get the people
we were using to Get Assad" project.
Because all that left was the Kurds.
The prime US partners in Syria are referred to by a range of acronyms that mean subtly
different things, but Turkey just sees one acronym.
The PKK is designated a terrorist organization by both the US and Turkey, and it's been
trying to dismember Turkey for decades.
Nobody really disputes that the PKK is closely connected to the US's Kurdish allies.
Turkey is understandably really not cool with sharing a border with a bunch of folks who
just might want to erase that border.
The US doesn't really care.
So in August 2016, Turkey invaded Syria to keep these two Kurdish pockets from joining
up.
Which brings us to Afrin.
The Turks really want to deal with this larger pocket here, but they can't.
The US has a large presence here now.
Turkey's president Erdogan has talked about going into Manbij in the big pocket.
This has gotten the standard "World War III starts tomorrow!!!" folks super excited,
but that's not going to happen.
The US has liberally sprinkled Manbij's defenses with US special forces.
In this conflict women and children die every day, but US soldiers are untouchable.
Turkey didn't like the consequences when it shot down a Russian plane back in 2015,
killing a US soldier would be infinitely worse.
Tensions are high, and a mistake could happen, but I highly doubt it would lead to anything
serious.
As far as what happens in Afrin?
I legitimately don't know.
My guess is that this will work out best for Assad.
It's already had everybody looking the other way as he bit a big chunk out of the Idlib
"de-confliction" zone.
Turkey and its mostly worthless Syrian rebel allies will probably get bogged down, and
then the Syrian government will take over in a face saving agreement that allows Turkey
to claim they wiped out a PKK pocket.
That's just my guess, I could be completely wrong about that.
What strikes me about all this, is just how much the Syrian conflict means to everybody
else involved, and how little it means to the United States.
Now that ISIS is done with, the US public has lost interest, and the US government can
follow what it sees as its strategic interests.
This Afrin move by Turkey plays right into Washington, DC's hands.
We've got 2,000 or so US soldiers setting up permanent shop in Syria right now.
The great problem with Iraq, from Washington, DC's perspective was always that it had
a government that didn't want us there.
Fox News loves to blame Obama for leaving Iraq in 2011, but it was Iraq's government
that kicked us out.
Erdogan is solving that problem for the US government right now.
If Turkey manages to take out these Kurds in Afrin, these Kurds will want the US to
stay forever.
So in a very short term, burn it all down sort of way, the US has won the war in Syria.
All its enemies, and one of its allies, have been over-extended, beat up, and trapped in
a chaotic nightmare that's not ending any time soon.
The US now has a military base smack dab in the middle of the Middle East, and hosts that
desperately want them to stay.The US is the only player in Syria's conflict that is
in better shape than it was in 2011.
So yaaaay?
Let's take it back to the realm of morals, ethics and common sense.
This US victory has been a catastrophe for Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran and it will
eventually hurt the US too.
I would argue, some would disagree, but I would argue that this scorched Earth approach
might have been appropriate during the Cold War.
The Cold War has been over for 26 years.
Washington, DC's experts desperately want to convince you that Putin or Assad, or Iran's
Mullahs are the new Hitler.
That's insane, Hitler's been in the ground for 73 years, but it's the only history
anybody in Washington, DC knows.
I've got a couple videos on why that's so crazy.
My government desperately wants to convince us that there's a real danger here, because
if there isn't, then it's actually Washington, DC that's the real danger.
I'm afraid that what we've done to Syria is going to be a model for the US government
going forward.
It might take few decades, but the world will start to get very sick of this.
Washington, DC won in Syria.
The United States certainly didn't.

"The Night Child" by Anna Quinn Review - Duration: 5:21.
Comes out on January 30th as well, and this is called "The Night Child". This is
an adult book. It's kind of passed off as being a thriller. Please, if you only
want to read it because you're into
thrillers then don't because it's not a thriller.
They were very manipulative in the blurb, and I will say that right now. Do not
go off the blurb. You're going to be wildly disappointed if that's what you
want going into it. What this book is actually about is the exploration of
trauma and it's lasting effects on an individual. This has to do with DID
which is disassociative identity disorder, which has also been commonly
referred to as multi-personality disorder, but that is not the accurate
term. The wrong terminology was used in this book, but I feel like it was used
purposely so that the reader would automatically know what the people were
talking about even though I feel like the writer was aware that that was not
the right terminology. It was just to open the gates for the reader to be able
to understand. However, even though the terminology was not correct, it was
approached with a lot of sensitivity and it was very humanizing to the person who
has the disassociative identity disorder. It's not seen the way that movies
portray this disorder as someone who's like a completely different individual
and they're harmful and psychotic. It is not like that at all. So if you have DID
or you are just interested in reading it, I do think that from my limited
understanding of it and interactions with people who do have this disorder
that this would be an okay book to read about it. There's also a lot of therapy
sessions in this book that I feel like were very positive and uplifting, and it
was handled very well. As far as the bad things there is some graphic sexual
abuse to a minor that's in this book. It does cover mental illness in the
workplace and it could give you anxiety about that.
So as this character discovers what's actually going on it makes her
very uncomfortable because she feels like her
altar is going to come out while she's at work and nobody's gonna
know what's going on and they're gonna think that just something is up with her.
It just really made me understand why a lot of people who have DID
don't work and they're at home. It's because these situations really do
happen and that can cause a pretty you know big stressful situation. This book
is very easy to get into even when it's shifting from place to place, like going
from the past to the present. It easily
flowed. Very connected and just seamless. Nora is a bit of a liberal, but I feel
like her viewpoints are directly connected to her experiences in life, so
even if you're very conservative and you don't like liberal perspectives I feel
like you'll understand where she's coming from and why she has those
viewpoints even if you don't agree with them. This also has a very crappy husband.
I'm just gonna tell you right now you're not gonna like the husband. She doesn't
like the husband. She believes that he's cheating on her and she may or may not
be right. You will find out in the book whether or not she's right, but either
way he's just crappy. The terminology isn't used properly,
and this book does have a bit of language in it. It also
explores just coming in to figuring out that you have the disorder and also
reliving your past and figuring out like what your trauma is because a lot of
people that have the disorders they know that it's caused by some kind of
childhood trauma but they don't know what the trauma is. So this book is
really about her trying to figure out what it is, and it's very sad, and it is
triggering for for like sexual abuse. So I would say you really need to make
sure that your headspace is good before you go into this book if
that's triggering to you or if you think that it could be triggering. This might
be one that you have to take in small doses if if that's something for you. I
was able to speed through this book in a couple of hours. I found it super
engaging, and I do think that it would be a good one to read if you're interested,
but don't go into it thinking it's a thriller because it's not and I don't
feel like the publishing company should have done that. I know that they make
better sales by calling it a thriller, but it's wrong on the publishing end
because they're making it to where this disorder is sensationalized for profit.
I just I don't like that, but that has nothing to do with the author, and
I'm not going to criticize the author for something that the publisher choose
to do because that doesn't make sense. Put the blame where the blame
goes. Anyway, that's all I have for you guys.

LEGO Jurassic World 2018 sets - They're going all out! - Duration: 1:57.
The first batch of LEGO Jurassic World The Fallen Kingdom sets
has been revealed today, and there will be seven System sets.
But, we're also getting three Juniors sets and three Duplo sets,
and the press release also say there will be a Brick Headz set,
books, clothing, and animated videos.
Like wow.
I knew the Jurassic World 2015 sets sold well,
but LEGO is going all out here.
I've never seen a movie get Juniors, Duplo,
and regular System sets at the same time.
Like, even Star Wars, which is LEGO's most popular licensed line,
has never gotten Juniors or Duplo sets.
Kids love dinos and LEGO knows this sells.
Many of the other sets have leaked,
but for the only three revealed today,
the regular system set is a decent $40 set for the value,
I won't get it though, since the Blue the Raptor and the Ken Wheatley and Owen minifigures
all come in the big Mansion set.
Can't wait for that one to be revealed sometime.
The press release actually mentions that more sets
will be shown at the New York Toy Fair.
The Juniors set is good for kids - the unknowing parents will overlook
its fifty price tag which is ridiculous for 150 pieces.
At most, I'd like the set to be 40 bucks,
considering the T-Rex is a big figure,
but it still doesn't look like enough play for a fifty dollar set.
It's a shame since I think the build here is really fun -
it reminds me of this Jurassic Park 3 set which I loved when I was younger,
and the baby dino is so cute.
The Duplo set is adorable, and a good deal for thirty bucks.
It's so weird to see Owen as a Duplo minifigure,
since he's more of an adult character.
I dunno.
Little things to note - I guess Mattel owns that cutesy Jurassic World kids logo,
because LEGO is still using the main logo that will probably scary away Duplo kids,
and my gosh, the packaging is beautiful for regular sets - the corner art is incredible.
Still, it's weird how the logo is just Jurassic World,
and not Jurassic World The Fallen Kingdom.
The back of the box shows how you can build hybrids,
and it also shows which dinos come in which sets -
which is useless in my opinion,
since it doesn't count the two store exclusive sets and the Juniors sets.
Anyways, what do you guys think?
Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
I'll see you guys later.
Peace out.

Afrin | Washington, DC Has Won The War In Syria | Syria 15 - Duration: 9:30.
Hey there.
So this past week the Turkish military commenced operations against the YPG in Afrin, in the
Northwest of Syria.
My audience really wants me to weigh in, so I've been looking at Syria again after a
while.
And I've come to a really grim conclusion.
I think the US government has won the war in Syria.
For the next couple minutes I'm going to throw out ethics, morals and common sense,
and talk very simply about Washington DC's goals in Syria, and how thoroughly they have
been achieved.
Don't worry we'll get back to morals and ethics at the end.
So Syria's president Bashar Assad is still in charge of more territory than anybody else
in Syria.
This is supposedly a big failure for the US.
But in truth, Washington, DC's goal was never a better form of government, or the
welfare of the Syrian people.
It was always about sticking it to Syria, one of very few countries that has ever had
the courage to stand up to the United States and our ally Israel.
And it was also about sticking it to Syria's allies in Russia and Iran.
The Chaotic nightmare that the Syrian people have suffered over the past 7 years has served
these purposes very well.
In the US we have a massive victimization complex, and we believe everybody's winning
in Syria except for us.
Let's take a look at some of these winners.
Bashar Assad, the President of Syria, used to be in firm control of his entire country.
The news over the past year has been all about how he's "winning" but what is he winning
exactly?
Between 2012 and 2017, Turkey, the United States and a bunch of Gulf countries spent
billions to take half his country away from him.
Assad has taken a lot of it back, but his country has been destroyed, and the folks
who destroyed it are going to make sure he doesn't get any humanitarian money to rebuild
it.
He's an international Pariah, and the absolute best case for his retirement is a cold apartment
in Moscow.
Iran is supposedly another big winner.
This is absurd.
After the space for Sunni Jihadists that the US and Turkey opened up went a little further
than intended, and almost overthrew Iraq, Iran had a lot to lose.
For a minute there it looked like it might take Syria, Iraq, and then come gunning for
Iran.
The Iranian regime had to spend billions of dollars it didn't have fighting ISIS.
We learned last month what the Iranian people think of that.
The US public had a bit of brief ISIS panic before the Ebola panic pushed it out of the
headlines back in 2014.
Iran has been fighting for its life for the past 3 and a half years.
Washington, DC experts want us to believe that Iran is now about to take over the whole
region.
That's Ridiculous.
Iran has now barely crawled back to the regional position it was in in 2011, Except now there
are US bases in Iraq and Syria, and the Iranian public is just about done with foreign adventuring.
Russia isn't quite as screwed as Iran is, but they are trapped in a quagmire too.
How many times has Russia declared victory and announced their withdrawal from Syria
now?
It's got to be at least three times.
Putin desperately wants this war to be over.
Unfortunately, the prestige of his kleptocratic regime is deeply wrapped up in Syria continuing
to look like a success, so he's stuck with this ulcer, more than two years into what
he had hoped would be a brief engagement.
And now Turkey.
Sigh Turkey.
I don't know what the hell it was, Ottoman dreams, or just the urge to be a good NATO
ally for the United States, but Turkey took a lead role in the "Get Assad" project
from the get-go.
They have gotten burned hard.
The Turks were on board with the "Get Assad" project, but less so with the "Get the people
we were using to Get Assad" project.
Because all that left was the Kurds.
The prime US partners in Syria are referred to by a range of acronyms that mean subtly
different things, but Turkey just sees one acronym.
The PKK is designated a terrorist organization by both the US and Turkey, and it's been
trying to dismember Turkey for decades.
Nobody really disputes that the PKK is closely connected to the US's Kurdish allies.
Turkey is understandably really not cool with sharing a border with a bunch of folks who
just might want to erase that border.
The US doesn't really care.
So in August 2016, Turkey invaded Syria to keep these two Kurdish pockets from joining
up.
Which brings us to Afrin.
The Turks really want to deal with this larger pocket here, but they can't.
The US has a large presence here now.
Turkey's president Erdogan has talked about going into Manbij in the big pocket.
This has gotten the standard "World War III starts tomorrow!!!" folks super excited,
but that's not going to happen.
The US has liberally sprinkled Manbij's defenses with US special forces.
In this conflict women and children die every day, but US soldiers are untouchable.
Turkey didn't like the consequences when it shot down a Russian plane back in 2015,
killing a US soldier would be infinitely worse.
Tensions are high, and a mistake could happen, but I highly doubt it would lead to anything
serious.
As far as what happens in Afrin?
I legitimately don't know.
My guess is that this will work out best for Assad.
It's already had everybody looking the other way as he bit a big chunk out of the Idlib
"de-confliction" zone.
Turkey and its mostly worthless Syrian rebel allies will probably get bogged down, and
then the Syrian government will take over in a face saving agreement that allows Turkey
to claim they wiped out a PKK pocket.
That's just my guess, I could be completely wrong about that.
What strikes me about all this, is just how much the Syrian conflict means to everybody
else involved, and how little it means to the United States.
Now that ISIS is done with, the US public has lost interest, and the US government can
follow what it sees as its strategic interests.
This Afrin move by Turkey plays right into Washington, DC's hands.
We've got 2,000 or so US soldiers setting up permanent shop in Syria right now.
The great problem with Iraq, from Washington, DC's perspective was always that it had
a government that didn't want us there.
Fox News loves to blame Obama for leaving Iraq in 2011, but it was Iraq's government
that kicked us out.
Erdogan is solving that problem for the US government right now.
If Turkey manages to take out these Kurds in Afrin, these Kurds will want the US to
stay forever.
So in a very short term, burn it all down sort of way, the US has won the war in Syria.
All its enemies, and one of its allies, have been over-extended, beat up, and trapped in
a chaotic nightmare that's not ending any time soon.
The US now has a military base smack dab in the middle of the Middle East, and hosts that
desperately want them to stay.The US is the only player in Syria's conflict that is
in better shape than it was in 2011.
So yaaaay?
Let's take it back to the realm of morals, ethics and common sense.
This US victory has been a catastrophe for Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran and it will
eventually hurt the US too.
I would argue, some would disagree, but I would argue that this scorched Earth approach
might have been appropriate during the Cold War.
The Cold War has been over for 26 years.
Washington, DC's experts desperately want to convince you that Putin or Assad, or Iran's
Mullahs are the new Hitler.
That's insane, Hitler's been in the ground for 73 years, but it's the only history
anybody in Washington, DC knows.
I've got a couple videos on why that's so crazy.
My government desperately wants to convince us that there's a real danger here, because
if there isn't, then it's actually Washington, DC that's the real danger.
I'm afraid that what we've done to Syria is going to be a model for the US government
going forward.
It might take few decades, but the world will start to get very sick of this.
Washington, DC won in Syria.
The United States certainly didn't.

Don't Trust Me - Duration: 6:43.
this is gonna hurt my tum tum
hi everybody, I'm Amanda the G
and I am clearly not a functional adult
but I was much worse as a kid
and for some reason
in elementary school, like 5th and 6th grade
I was allowed to unsupervised make my lunch and bring it to school
let's just trust Amanda to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
grab a couple things out of the refrigerator and the cabinets
and go to school
but Amanda didn't do that!
so today, let's go through (laughing) the things I would typically bring to lunch
and taste them
I have not had these in a very long time
now I wanted
a Capri Sun
so bad
I remember dreaming of having the Capri Sun because the cool kids had the Capri Sun
and I knew it wouldn't make me cool, but it would get me one step closer!
but we never got these
like once ever did we ever get these
we had like Juicy Juice
or whatever was on sale
(excited) I haven't had a juice box in so long
I remember this taste!
this, this tastes like elementary school!
let's see what the cool people drank!
this is red berry, I thought they were both fruit punch, I clearly didn't do that right
but, red berry
that's really sweet
they're pretty much the same thing
but I kind of actually like this one better just for nostalgia purposes
the next thing that every lunch needs
is a sandwich
white bread!
we only ever had white bread because that was all I would eat as a kid
you would expect a NORMAL child to put
between these two slices of bread
peanut butter and jelly?
maybe some cold cuts?
maybe some vegetables, a little schmear of something?
something normal
Amanda did not do that!
between the two pieces of white bread
the first thing we need for Amanda's signature sandwich
powdered sugar!
now this was kept on a very high shelf
and I was 4 foot 5, 4 foot 7, in that range
so I couldn't reach it
I have vivid memories of climbing up onto the counter to reach up to the tippy top shelf
to get down the powdered sugar which I would then put back in the exact same spot
so no one knew that I had had the powdered sugar, cause I knew I wasn't supposed to be doing this
now clearly, you need a good, a good amount, not like
a little bit of powdered sugar
that's not enough!
you need a GOOD amount of powdered sugar
so the next step in making this sandwich is to take the other piece of bread
put it on top and squish it down
so that the sugar doesn't get everywhere
and then what do we put on this powdered sugar sandwich beyond that?
NOTHING!
it is a powdered sugar sandwich!
I used to eat these all the time
th- let's try this, white bread with powdered sugar (laughing)
I don't
condone eating like this, by the way
it's very sweet
and very dry
I need my juice
ohhh yeah that taste brings back a lot of memories
this is my childhood
right here
now that's not all I brought, though
because every lunch has a juice box, a sandwich, and a little side baggie filled with something
so what did Amanda put in that?
into my little sandwich bag
I would put
some crackers
I'm just gonna put a couple in here, cause you get the point
now we're starting out good
crackers
that's normal
what would Amanda add to those crackers?
chocolate chips!
of course I did
it's trail mix, people
but with crackers
but everyone knows
that every good trail mix
has 3 ingredients
so the third ingredient
is-
powdered sugar!
(laughing)
I really wish I was kidding, I needed to be controlled
(laughing) I put powdered sugar on everything when no one was looking
(sniffle) I also used to eat handful=ls of salt
actual handfuls of salt
ooohh yeah, that's the stuff
and then
you've clearly got to shake it up a little bit
so that you can get that sugar everywhere
so here we go!
(laughing) Amanda's trail mix!
I-
my body's telling me not to do this (laughing)
(laughing)
oohhh
when I laugh, I blow out powdered sugar
(laughing)
I can't stop laughing
if it- (laughing)
if it weren't for the sugar, it wouldn't be that bad
the powdered sugar just adds something it doesn't need, it would be fine if I just had like
the crackers (laughing) and the chocolate, but I'm like NO
LET'S PUT SUGAR ON IT
this
was my lunch as a child
a little juice box
a powdered sugar sandwich on white bread
and some "trail mix" of crackers, chocolate chips, and more powdered sugar
maybe don't leave children alone to make their lunches if you can't trust them
I shouldn't've been trusted
now I know that supervised, I would have made
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and grabbed like an apple and a juice box
or a pack of raisins or something
and made a perfectly normal lunch
but when left to my own devices
this is literally what I did
many, many times (laughing)
so that's what I brought for lunch in elementary school when I was left completely unsupervised
let me know if you've ever eaten a powdered sugar sandwich (laughing)
in the comments below
or is this just my weird thing?

Democratic Lawmaker Getting Death Threats Thanks To Devin Nunes' Memo - Duration: 3:49.
On Monday night, the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the long-awaited Devin Nunes
memo for the world to see.
The Democrats were not too happy about that because they refused to vote to release the
Adam Schiff memo, which has been written to kind of contradict and explain fully what
is included in the Devin Nunes memo.
But the memo is not necessarily the important thing right now.
What's important is the fact that Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence
Committee who has been at odds with Nunes over all of this and who has been demonized
and villainized by Fox News and Republican supporters, Adam Schiff has reported that
his office is now receiving death threats as a result of angry Republicans who want
the memo released.
That's what's happening in the United States today.
Devin Nunes absolutely played into this and now he has created a monster that he cannot
hope to control.
As of right now, as I'm sitting here talking, this memo, this Devin Nunes release the memo,
has not been released just yet.
Maybe it is by the time you watch this, but I can guarantee you based on what we know
of what is in that memo, there is nothing in there that's going to discredit the current
Robert Mueller investigation, there is nothing in there that's going to absolve Donald Trump,
and there is nothing in there that's going to result in Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton
being indicted and thrown in prison, as Republicans continue to tell us.
What is real are the threats coming against Democratic members of the House of Representatives
by psycho-crazed Republican supporters who believe that there is some kind of conspiracy
happening in our intelligence agencies to undermine the president of the United States.
What's really happening is that these intelligence agencies are doing their job.
Maybe they'll find something, maybe they won't.
It doesn't matter at this point because it is their job to investigate it.
People like Devin Nunes, Fox News, have played into this and drummed up all of this hatred
and anger among their psychotic right-wing base to the point that people are getting
death threats.
That's what they wanted.
This is what they do.
That's why Donald Trump continues to push that so-called fake news thing even after
a crazy guy threatened to kill CNN employees.
This is what happens when Republicans don't check their language.
This is what happens when they start pushing conspiracy theories that at one time were
relegated to shows like Alex Jones.
Well, now they're mainstream.
We have Republican Members of Congress, people like Matt Gates, people like Devin Nunes,
pushing conspiracy theories about a secret society within the FBI that meets offsite
to talk about overthrowing Donald Trump, even though there's no single piece of evidence
that actually supports that other than a sarcastic text message that idiots took out of context.
People could die as a result of this and the Republicans don't even care because all they
care about is trying to undermine intelligence agencies and save Donald Trump's ass.

10 Ways to Become A MILLIONAIRE in 2018 | How to Become Rich and Make Money Online - Duration: 11:56.
I make a lot of money.
I've been involved in business since I was a teenager and I've learned A LOT along the
way.
So today I wanna share with you a BUNCH of SPECIFIC tips about things that worked really
well for me, and that'll help YOU start making money TODAY.
#1.
Try multiple things.
I put my all into each thing I did, but I always did multiple things.
This allowed me to see what worked, what didn't, what I was good at and what I may not have
been as good at, and get a better feel for everything so I could decide what to pursue
and what to forget about.
It's insanely rare for someone to start 1 business, or to make 1 investment, and have
it be massively successful.
The most successful businessmen are almost always people who have been involved in business
for awhile and have tried multiple things.
If you start 5 businesses and only 1 of them is successful - then hey, you're successful!
#2.
Do things efficiently.
I was making around $80,000 a year by my last year of college even though I technically
wouldn't even have been working full time hours.
I woke up at the same time every day, worked hard as fuck for about 3 hours, studied for
about 2 hours, worked hard for a couple more hours, and so on.
No procrastinating.
No bullshitting.
No listening to music while studying.
Nothing like that.
I did things efficiently.
If I wanted to do something, I did it.
I did THAT THING.
Not a bunch of other things, but THAT THING.
I started on it and I finished it, and that was that.
#3.
Stop doing useless stuff.
Texting all day every day.
Spending an hour a night on Tinder.
Hanging out with friends who aren't productive and don't have any goals of their own.
Going to 3 parties a week.
Yeah I actually did do this stuff at one point.
Until I realized it was taking up wayyyyyyy too much time.
You don't have to stop doing every random thing, but you should make a list of some
of the things you do and figure out which ones you're just spending way too much time
on.
If you want to be on Tinder, limit yourself to 30 minutes a day.
Limit yourself to 1 party per week.
That's the idea.
#4.
Do things quickly.
I find it's better to just roll shit out and have it be a 7 out of 10 or an 8 out of 10,
to get it out there and experiment with, than to wait a long ass time for a 10 out of 10.
For example if I'm making a YouTube video, I might spend a few hours on it.
There are probably gonna be a couple typos here and there, maybe a run-on sentence or
a picture with a watermark.
And sure, I could go back and spend a few more hours fixing each little thing up, OR
I could just roll it out and then spend the extra time to work on ANOTHER video.
#5.
Save money!
You always want to save a portion of your money, however small it is.
If you made $50,000 last year and you spent $50,000, that's stupid.
You need to be saving SOME of it so that if you have something happen unexpectedly, or
if your business has a couple off-months, or if you just see something that you really
want to buy, you can afford it.
One really easy way to save MORE money is by using this something called JoinHoney.
This is a cool browser extension by our sponsor that automatically applies the best coupon
code to your purchase, every time you buy something online.
Honey is the world's most popular money-saving browser add on and it works on Chrome, Firefox,
Safari -- all the major browsers, and the best part is that IT'S FREE.
So let's say you're buying something from Macys.com.
If there are any Macy's coupon codes out there, like a 25% off because it's spring, or a buy
1 get 1 free code, a free shipping code, or any others, JoinHoney knows all of them, it
figures out which one will save you the most money, and it applies it to your order automatically.
This is really awesome and as soon as I heard about it I installed it and I've been using
it for all my online shopping ever since.
And if you're trying to increase your savings, something cool I recommend is looking at how
much you save every time you use it, and then putting that amount of money into your savings
instead!
So if you were about to buy a $100 pair of jeans and JoinHoney gave you a 25% discount
code, then go ahead and put $25 into your savings account!
There is really no reason NOT to join, i's basically free money.
It's super easy to join, and LITERALLY only takes you 2 clicks to download and start using,
all you have to do is go to joinhoney.com/basedzeus
#6.
Don't spend money.
Invest it instead.
I don't mean NEVER spend money.
I just mean limit your spending, since a lot of it is probably a straight up waste anyway.
You buy clothes that get stuffed in the closet and never worn, or you spend $800 on a new
iPhone instead of just using the one you got last year, you spend hundreds of dollars on
alcohol when you go out, you buy dozens of videogames and then only play like 2 of them,
and so on.
Limit your spending.
When it comes to investing, when I was younger I didn't fuck with stocks or low return things,
I invested all of my money into my own ventures, my own ideas.
Some will tell you this is bad investing advice, but I've never been a fan of playing it safe.
"Playing it safe is the shortcut to failure."
I don't remember if that's an actual quote or if I'm the one who said it but it's a useful
tip.
Thinking small, acting small, aren't gonna get you anywhere.
Well, they might get you an average apartment in an average neighborhood with an average
car to drive while you wear average clothes and go to your average job before going out
for drinks with your average friends who like to do average things before you grow old and
die and nobody really gives a shit because you were just another average human being.
Or you can try something different.
I highly recommend getting into investing when you're young, because at that age you
probably don't need the money anyway, so you might as well play around with investing it
and learn some things early, so by the time you're older you're way ahead of everyone
else when it actually counts.
#7.
Start a business.
If you don't have any money, then get a job first, and save up as much of it as you can,
and then use it to start a business of your own.
I recommend just jumping into it.
Learn as you go.
Don't try to read a hundred books and consult with dozens of "experts" beforehand.
Read a few books, talk to 1 or 2 people if you can, and just start experimenting.
DO STUFF.
You'll figure it out as you go.
You'll make mistakes.
You'll learn from them.
It's good to plan it out, but at some point you just have to get into it and start DOING.
Pretty much all of my business knowledge came from actually trying things and figuring it
out myself, as opposed to stuff I read in books or online.
#8.
Delegate.
You don't have to do everything yourself.
It's a waste of time.
For example I hired an animator recently to help with my YouTube videos.
Sure, I could sit here and animate them all myself.
Or I could just outline them and get the main points in there, and let him iron out the
rest.
Doing it like this allows me to roll out 2 or even 3 times as many videos for you guys
than if I did every little thing myself.
So for example if you're starting a website, and you're not that great at graphic design,
instead of spending 2 years getting good at Photoshop just hire a designer to do that

#9.
Passive income.
Passive income is anything that earns you money when you aren't directly working on
it.
For example if you invest in stocks, then those stocks can be earning you money while
you're doing other stuff.
Stocks are a relatively safe way to make some money, however unless you're really really
good at picking them, you probably won't make THAT much.
I personally buy stocks in companies that I really like, for example Amazon, Intel,
Apple, Netflix, and Google.
I think those are the only ones I have at the moment.
Amazon is my favorite and I think they're gonna keep going up long-term so feel free
to jump on that and then if you get rich don't forget to message me so you can send me a
portion of your profits.
Haha.
Cryptocurrencies are another good option if you're into riskier bets.
There are a shitload of em to choose from but if you want to get into it you should
always do your own research because there are a lot of fanboys who will give you inaccurate
info.
Another point to keep in mind is nobody really KNOWS how any particular currency will do.
There are tons of people out there who will tell you they KNOW, with certainty, and they
GUARANTEE that bitcoin or ethereum or whateverthefuckcoin "IS GONNA HIT SUCH AND SUCH VALUE BY SUCH
AND SUCH DATE!
OH MY GOD BRO!" or they'll tell you they KNOW and GUARANTEE that it's a total bubble and
it's gonna lose 42.375% of its value by the summer.
Nobody fucking knows.
People like that need to shut the hell up.
Don't listen to them.
If someone who isn't a time traveler tells you they KNOW, all that means is they don't
know and that you should ignore them.
Get into it if you want but keep in mind that they are A LOT riskier than typical sources
of passive income like stocks.
Personally I don't really deal with cryptos anymore - I think the extreme volatility is
good if you have less money to invest because you can potentially make more off of a small
investment, but once you have enough cash I recommend diversifying into other investments.
You can also get passive income in the form of things like mutual funds and CD's and bonds
and all other kinds of stuff but I think it's a total waste of time unless you already have
a shitload of money to put into it.
If you're making like 5% return for example, and you put in $1,000 then that means you
risked a thousand dollars to make 50 bucks in profit.
Which is pointless.
On the other hand if you have 10 million dollars sitting around then it makes some sense to
invest, say, half of it, to ensure that you have a safe, $250,000 a year every year income
for doing absolutely nothing.
#10.
Things to avoid.
Debt.
Don't go into debt.
Don't finance things.
You know sometimes when you buy shit and they ask if you want to finance it?
"Hey bro this new temperpedic mattress is $3,000, BUT if you FINANCE it it's really
only $100!
A month!"
Yeah suck my fuckin dick.
If you can't afford something, don't buy it.
Most people are idiots who buy tons of shit they can't afford and then they complain when
they hit one hiccup because they have no money, no savings, and tons of bills for all the
shit they financed.
If you can't afford it don't buy it.
Investing more than you're willing to lose.
This is a big one.
Investing means you're taking on risk in return for a possible reward.
Not a guaranteed reward.
If you're old enough to remember the recession from about 10 years ago you might remember
all the people who freaked out about "I USED TO BE A MULTIMILLIONAIRE AND NOW I'M HOMELESS
AND LIVING IN POVERTY!!!" like bitch what the hell are you talking about?
If you have 99% of your net worth in the stock market you're a dumbass.
Investments aren't guaranteed, so don't invest more than you can afford to lose.
Personally I don't even consider ongoing investments as money, I just consider them as ongoing
risk.
I only "count" them in my money when I actually convert them into cash, because I know there's
a chance of them crashing and burning at any time.
And I don't really care.
If the CEO of Amazon is arrested and their stock drops to 2 cents overnight, my net worth
might take a hit, but ultimately it's not a huge deal.
And finally: caring way too much about money.
If money is the #1 most important thing in your life, you need to take a step back.
Money is not everything.
It doesn't buy happiness.
In my mind money has 3 functions: (1) it allows you to live comfortably, for example you can
live in a comfortable house instead of in a box under a bridge, (2) it allows you to
buy things that you can use to improve yourself, like books, audiobooks, notebooks, a computer
so you can get on the internet, and so on, and (3) it serves as a distraction.
If I only have #1 and #2, I'm good.
But most people get really caught up on #3, they NEED money so they can buy supercars
and new clothes every other week and take girls out on expensive dates and buy expensive
drinks and all that.
You don't need any of that.
Those things are all just distractions.
They can be FUN, but you should recognize them for what they are, and not worry too
much about em.
It always makes me shake my head when I meet someone who's sole purpose in life is making
money and they have nothing else to live for.
Don't forget the stuff that's actually important!
And that's it!

How To Get Kids To Study - Duration: 15:46.
So you got the kids back in school but how do you get your kids to study? That's
today at Live On Purpose TV.
So to start into this video, I think we need to have
a little conversation right up front about what your job is as a parent. So
think about that for just a minute. What is your job as a parent? Now I get a lot
of really great answers to this here in my office. Some parents will say, well,
it's to provide for my kids and to keep them safe and to make sure that they
have everything that they need and then it goes from there on to some really
kind of cool things like, well it's to help them be happy in life and to have a
successful experience in life and to become productive citizens who
contribute in meaningful ways. Isn't that awesome?
And yes, I think those are all great answers. I'm going to throw a little
wrench in it here and we're going to back up, okay. Your job as a parent is to
love them no matter what and even if. No matter what and even if. So we can play
the even if game if you want. Even if they're not productive citizens? Yes, your
job is still to love them. Even if they're incarcerated? Yes,
even if they're incarcerated. Even if they choose a lifestyle that I don't
agree with that violates our family values? Yes, even if they choose a
lifestyle you don't agree with and that violate your family values. Are we clear
about this? Your job as a parent is to love them no
matter what and even if. As you wrap your head around that then everything else I
can share with you is going to be a helpful tool and a resource. If you
forget about your job as a parent then everything I'm
sharing with you is no more than manipulation and psychological games.
I want to be clear about that because I feel this is so important for parents to
understand their job because you don't control all of those outcomes. To make
sure that they're happy, oh, that sounds really great and and I think it comes
from the best place in your heart but it's not within your control to make
sure that they're happy, to make sure that they pass school. I had a mom here
on my couch who said, "Oh, well what am I supposed to do then? Just let him
fail?" She meant about school and I'm thinking, really? You think you control
that? What do you mean let him fail? As if she could decide whether he does or he
doesn't and sometimes we intervene way too much as parents
because we think our job is to make sure that they don't fail. Now having said
that, I'm going to come back to that probably because that's really important
to me. Your job is to love them no matter what and even if so let's stay clear
about that. Now because we love them, we want them to be happy, right? Because we
love them. What do you want for the people you love? Why do you want them to be
happy? Because we love them, we want them to succeed in school. Why? Because their
life is better if they succeed in school. Sure, it's going to impact your life as a
parent but let's get out of the way, okay? This is not about you, this is about your
kids so how do I get my kid to study or to do their homework or to turn in their
assignments or perform well in school? Okay, let's do some strategizing there.
Why? Because we love them and we want their life to rock. Sure, our life will be
better but that's only peripheral, okay. That's secondary, don't get too focused
on this is about you or it reflects on you as a parent. If that's where you're
coming from, then we need to have another conversation.
Get out of the way, this is not about you, this is about your kid, okay. And because
you love them, you want them to succeed. I know I'm probably over emphasizing that
but that's how important it is, okay? Now let's go to the strategies because
we love them, we want them to have a great experience in life including being
successful in school. Think about your own experience, how important has it been
for you to learn to do the hard things now so that you can have an easier life
later on? Yeah, that's what we're talking about here.
So depending on your child's level of maturity. Now I did another video where I
gave you a model, we talked about three different stages of maturity, you can
link to it right up here and in that video, you learned to discern what stages
my child's on. This is important because what stage they're on is going to
determine what kind of strategy you're going to use to encourage them to do
their job. If they're on stage one, you're going to use consequences and
specifically the kind of consequences that don't require cooperation.
If they're on stage two, then you're going to use some communication along with
consequences to help encourage them to do what their job is. If they're on stage
three, you don't have to worry about it, they're just taking care of it and
you're observing from the sidelines so that's a really important thing to
review. Beyond that, here's what I'm thinking.. If you have a strong enough why,
you'll figure out the hell and this is true for you, it's also true for your
kids. Why should your kids go to school? Why should your kids do their homework?
Why should your kids turn in that assignment? If their only reason is
because mom's going to clobber me if I don't, that's not a strong enough why and
you're going to be having this for their entire school experience, okay?
Until they come up with a why. Once the kid has a why then that drives their
behavior, provided that they're mature enough to be there, that's why I wanted
to review that other video, now the why.. You know what? There's a story that
illustrates this really well and my friend, Art Coombs, who is a fabulous
author and leadership expert and speaker, shared this story with me. I'm going to let
him share that story with you. So as we help our kids to find or
identify their own why, it's not going to be the same one that we have, okay. So I
think that's important to notice. We have our own why about why our kids should
study, right? But that doesn't always translate over to them so
this is my friend, Art Coombs. Art is the author of Don't Just Manage Lead, which
has kind of a fun little quote there at the top by Paul H. Jenkins and that was
the decision either of us made but I really like the content and this one
Human Connection. Art is a really experienced almost sagely. - Yoda-ish.
- Yoda-ish. But Art, you shared a story with me about helping kids to find their own why,
would you just share that with our audience today? - Sure, I've got four children and
two of them are in junior high and my son is 14 years old and we're constantly
wrestling in our family with homework and in today's environment, you literally
can go on and you can see if they're missing assignments so a few
semesters go by and I'm saying, "Have you done your homework? Have you done your
homework?" And I'm getting yes, yes, it's all done, everything's good,
all taken care of but when the grades come out, obviously, - It would
seem otherwise. - Yes. There's other things happening. So anyway, my son and I are
having this constant sort of wrestling match
with why do we do our homework and for probably a year, I was trying to manage
him by saying go into your room, do your homework
and you're not coming out until this is done and managers love that, it's easy
way to deal with kids, it requires less effort and I was really all
about the who, where, when, how, - by when, how much, all the numbers - and all of a
sudden, it hit me and I was threatening, I was using threats, I would take away
iPhones or I resorted to bribes, I would pay them for good grades and we
- Disclaimer! We don't necessarily endorse threats at Live On Purpose TV. - Hey,
it's every parent, every parent does it. I'm going to take away, you can't
play football or you can't be on the wrestling team or you can't be in the
choir. I'm going to take away something you like, something you excel that, actually
and that's the sad part, I'm going to take it away. I'm going to take away your iPhone,
I'm going to take away your Xbox, I'm going to take away friends, I'm going to ground you
if you don't behave the way I want you to behave and to me that was
getting nowhere, absolutely nowhere. The the bribes and paying for grades, I think
helped a little bit but I still was not getting the results so all of a sudden,
it hit me I wasn't giving my son the why. And so late one night, I literally
went into his room and it was 2:00 a.m. - This is the middle of the night?
- Middle of the night and I said, "Kai, wake up." And he looked at me like I had three
heads and he said, "What are you talking about?" And I said, "Get up, I'm going to give
you the why." And he goes, "Dad, it's 2:00 a.m." and I said, "This will only take
about 15-20 minutes, come on, get up." and he got dressed and we drove down to
Walmart and I said, "Kai, I'm not trying to be disrespectful
or dis anybody. - Right, t's not what you're about. - It's not what I'm trying to
do here but I do want to give you a feeling of what will happen if you do
not study and you don't do your homework. I guarantee you, the individuals you are
going to see pushing the brooms and restocking the shelves did not in junior
high say when asked "what do you want to do when you grow up?" I promise you not
one of them said stock shelves at 2:00 a.m. in the morning but because
they made decisions early in their life, this is what they're limited to do.
Their options are here, these are individuals who chose not to do their
homework, I can promise you that." - And incidentally thankfully, that is
available. It's a legitimate option. - Yeah, and we walked
through the store and I said, "Kai, if this is what you want to do, I love you and I
hope you stock the shelves better than anybody else, I hope you really push
the broom with pride. - And as his dad, you love him no matter what and
even if? - I love you no matter what but my gut is telling me this
is not what you envision your life being like. My gut is telling me that you want
to own your own business, you want to be a consultant, you want to be a dynamic
cinematographer, you want to be a developer, there's so many things you
could do and this isn't one of them but you're on a path that leads you here."
He was quiet, we drove home, he was quiet all the way home and he said, "Dad, I'll
focus on my school better. I'll work harder." - He's not doing it for you?
- No, not doing it for me. I still think the bribes helped just a little bit. - Well
you know what? And I think the reason that's true is because we're getting
closer to providing a why that makes sense to
them. It's not about us, it's not about our why. - I do and I tried to tell him I
say, "Hey, in my job and I think in most everybody's job, if you do an
exceptional work, you get rewarded exceptionally. If I do mediocre work,
if I do what everyone else can do, I'm going to get paid like everyone else. If I
do poor work, I either don't get the job or I often sometimes can actually, it can
turn into a negative where people are now, it's going to
cost me. So, and we do that, well I have a certain amount that I pay my kids
for an A and then it drops radically for a B and it drops even more radically for
a C and then if that's D or an F, they pay me. - This is so powerful. Thank You, Art,
for sharing that story. I knew that that would fit in just really nicely as we're
talking about how do you get your kids to study or do anything else that really
requires their why, not our own. - I like to put the money so what they could earn if they
got straight A's? I stack it up into a 14 and 13
year old, it looks like a lot of money and I give it to
them and I say, this is yours, this is yours, you can have this.
This is what's on the table and then we put it in a box, we call the bank,
and then at the end of the semester, we have it, we give it up.
We reconcile the bank account. - According to the report. - According to the report
card. Now the unimportant thing is, I'm there
constantly saying "I will help you if you want straight A's. If you want
straight A's, although I'll help you, I won't do your homework but I will help
you every single night. If you want straight A's, we can do it, we can do it."
Didn't you love that story? When you have a strong enough why, you'll
figure out the how. If you're new here, please subscribe. We're having a lot of
fun at Live On Purpose TV.

Former Secret Service Agent: FISA Memo Intel Leads Directly to Barack Obama's Desk (VIDEO)
Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino went on with Tucker Carlson on Monday night following
the House Intelligence Committee vote to release the classified FISA memo.
Bongino confirmed to Tucker that only a dozen Democrats went to read the classified memo.
190 Republicans went to view the shocking memo before the committee vote on Monday.
Bongino told Tucker Carlson the investigation leads directly to the Obama Oval Office.
Dan Bongino: It is not a coincidence that Devin Nunes who has an entire scope of what
happened went back in March to the White House facility to read very specific intel that
I think will very likely be in this memo.
What am I saying by this?
That the information was likely breached to Barack Obama.
What does that mean?
That means that this information was being used by Hillary and all of this other stuff
that was in this dossier and all of this spying was probably being inserted into daily briefs
by Barack Obama.
Why else would Nunes have to go to the White House to read it.
Tucker Carlson: That makes sense and of course it was the Obama administration that pushed
for the surveillance powers over the Trump campaign.

New Grocery Store Chain Lets You Buy Health Food For The Price - Duration: 1:51.
New Grocery Store Chain Lets You Buy Health Food For The Price Of Fast-Food
By Rob Hoffman
Imagine Whole Foods at dollar-store prices�a new company called Daily Table is shifting
the power back to people of lower income, so they too have the option of eating right.
This has long been the frustration of healthy food � that for some reason eating properly
is saved for a wealthier segment of society. This isn�t the way it needs to be. With
over 30 per cent of the national food supply wasted in the U.S., there is plenty to go
around at affordable prices. This was the realization of Doug Rauch, former president
of Trader Joe�s, when he founded Daily Table. The first store opened in Dorchester, Boston
on June 4, 2015 and as the very first line of Time�s article reads in large bold text,
�Tons of items are under $1.�
Doug Rauch, former president of Trader Joe�s has founded a new low-cost health food store
called Daily Table. The first store opened in Boston on June 4, 2015.
�The answer here isn�t a full stomach, the answer has to be a healthy meal,� Rauch
tells Fast Coexist. �When 49 million Americans aren�t able to eat properly, and because
of it their health suffers�and they get obesity, heart disease, diabetes, in their
teenage and young adult years�this is going to be a health care cost tsunami that hits
all of us.�

Super Blue Blood Moon Signals Coming Apocalypse - End Times Signs - Duration: 2:42.
The upcoming super blood moon has evangelical conspiracy theorists saying that it could
be a sign of the impending apocalypse.
Why am I not surprised.
What is good super duper blood moon loving potato pals I'm charlotte, this is IO, and
I'm back at it again with another doomsday prophecy.
Who wants the world to end?
Hands up MEEEEHHH.
So you probably have heard about this very rare celestial event that's happening tomorrow,
January 31st 2018.
Its called a Super Blue Blood moon.
It's the second full moon in January, which makes it a blue moon, theres also gonna be
a total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon because the moon turns this really cool
red color from the earths shadow being cast on it.
And to top it all off, the thing that makes it a supermoon, is that the moon is at it
closest point to earth in its orbit.
This celestial event is so rare that it hasn't been seen in north America in more than 150
years.
The last one was in march 1886.
It seems like Christians always use rare celestial events as proof of an impending apocalypse.
According to passages from the book of acts as well as the book of Revelations, there
will be a great earthquake and an eclipse before the full moon becomes like blood.
I mean…it is oddly coincidental that there was a 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Alaska that
triggered tsunami warnings along the pacific rim.
One thing that may or may not be true about the supermoon, is that it could have an effect
on people and animals.
We know the moon affects the tides, so it may also have an effect on creatures that
are made up of mostly water.
Its called the lunar theory.
Ever notice that the root of luna and lunacy are the same?
That's not by accident.
Some people dismiss this theory as rubbish, but I do feel like the moon affects me when
its close to the earth.
I'll wake up at ridiculous hours of the night, not be able to sleep or just wake up
unnecessarily early.
I'll be anxious and really emotional for no reason.
Anyone else feel this way?
So maybe the apocalypse is not upon us, but you may feel a bit on edge because of the
moon.
If you guys are interested in seeing the super blue blood moon, it will be visible before
dawn on the west coast of the united states, and pretty much everywhere on the pacific
rim.
Elisabeth – This information is overloading my brain.
I think that is kind of the point.
Just Australian Rainfanning – Why'd you get into making videos.
I needed a job in the entertainment industry and it ended up working out perfectly.
DC Fan – I want older host please give us older host.
OK sure.
Hello darlings, it is I, old charlotte, thank you so much for tuning into IO, if you wanna
keep watching, cjeck out this video over here, apparently the bible also says the world will
end in june of 2018.
Make sure you follow IO on instagram and twitter and turn on that bell notification thingy
so you never miss a video.
See ya.

LEGO Jurassic World 2018 sets - They're going all out! - Duration: 1:57.
The first batch of LEGO Jurassic World The Fallen Kingdom sets
has been revealed today, and there will be seven System sets.
But, we're also getting three Juniors sets and three Duplo sets,
and the press release also say there will be a Brick Headz set,
books, clothing, and animated videos.
Like wow.
I knew the Jurassic World 2015 sets sold well,
but LEGO is going all out here.
I've never seen a movie get Juniors, Duplo,
and regular System sets at the same time.
Like, even Star Wars, which is LEGO's most popular licensed line,
has never gotten Juniors or Duplo sets.
Kids love dinos and LEGO knows this sells.
Many of the other sets have leaked,
but for the only three revealed today,
the regular system set is a decent $40 set for the value,
I won't get it though, since the Blue the Raptor and the Ken Wheatley and Owen minifigures
all come in the big Mansion set.
Can't wait for that one to be revealed sometime.
The press release actually mentions that more sets
will be shown at the New York Toy Fair.
The Juniors set is good for kids - the unknowing parents will overlook
its fifty price tag which is ridiculous for 150 pieces.
At most, I'd like the set to be 40 bucks,
considering the T-Rex is a big figure,
but it still doesn't look like enough play for a fifty dollar set.
It's a shame since I think the build here is really fun -
it reminds me of this Jurassic Park 3 set which I loved when I was younger,
and the baby dino is so cute.
The Duplo set is adorable, and a good deal for thirty bucks.
It's so weird to see Owen as a Duplo minifigure,
since he's more of an adult character.
I dunno.
Little things to note - I guess Mattel owns that cutesy Jurassic World kids logo,
because LEGO is still using the main logo that will probably scary away Duplo kids,
and my gosh, the packaging is beautiful for regular sets - the corner art is incredible.
Still, it's weird how the logo is just Jurassic World,
and not Jurassic World The Fallen Kingdom.
The back of the box shows how you can build hybrids,
and it also shows which dinos come in which sets -
which is useless in my opinion,
since it doesn't count the two store exclusive sets and the Juniors sets.
Anyways, what do you guys think?
Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
I'll see you guys later.
Peace out.
Bye.

YAY ANOTHER BOOK HAUL || 2018 - Duration: 13:51.
Hey guys, it's Emily! For today's video I'm doing a book haul. I do want to note
that almost every single book--not every single one but the vast majority--of the
books I'm about to talk about were either gifts from family and
friends, or they were bought at a discount/bargain price. Sometimes I feel
like book hauls give off this very consumerist vibe, but I'm not really into
that. There's nothing wrong with buying used books
I love used books! You'll see a
number of these are kind of beat-up or they're old library editions, things like
that. I absolutely love used books and just want to extol the virtues of them.
So if they look kind of funky on the cover either it's because it's a used
book in they're a little beat-up, or it's because I'm too lazy to take the sticker
off completely. I'm realizing now that I maybe should have organized my books using
almost any system other than "stick them on your bed and hope for the best," which
is what I have now... Like my reading tastes, they are a very wide variety of
genres and types of books. So I hope you're okay with that, because you're
getting a mix now! Starting out, I have nonfiction true crime, and that is
Popular Crime by Bill James. This is a library edition so it's covered in
plastic. I absolutely love library editions. They feel very nostalgic to me.
I mostly use my library now for digital editions of things, so ebooks and
audiobooks. So I don't really have physical library books with me very
often anymore. Not that I don't love my library, that's just not what I really
use it for anymore. So it's nice to have a little bit of a library back in my
home. What is this about? That is something that might be relevant to this
video. This is a look at all kinds of crimes from the 1600s to present. It's
basically all the true crime you could imagine in one book. Next I
have Jade City by Fonda Lee. This is epic fantasy. I don't know if it's
standalone or the start of the series. In this book we are in a world in which
jade gives a select group of warriors enhanced magical abilities, but
there is a new drug that has been introduced that gives all kinds of
people the ability to harness the power of this jade, which then turns the world
a little topsy-turvy when it comes to power dynamics. I am super super excited
to read this! I've heard really good things about Fonda Lee
as a writer, so I cannot wait to pick this up. Next I have more creepy
nonfiction. I'm realizing there's a lot of crime oriented books in this book
haul I hope that doesn't reflect on me in any strange ways and that I said that
I have ears the fact of a body by Alexandria Marzano less damage yes and
this is a blending of true crime and memoir Marzano Lesnar bitch she finds
out about this murder and does a lot of research into it and it forces her to
kind of question some of her beliefs she sees some of her own life reflected in
the evidence and the story that she finds through her research I have heard
amazing things about this Wow I really should have organized books cuz I've got
another murder book and that is if we were millions by MLV oh it's maybe about
a troupe of Shakespearean actors so I'm hoping for some amazing melding of
Shakespeare and modern literary fiction and thrillers into one book I've heard
some really good things about this so I'm really excited to get up okay so
honey we have a not murder ebook although I guess Jade said he was not
murdered this is a hundred nights of hero by Isabel greenberg this was a book
this someone actually recommend it to me and I think my favorites of 2017 video
and on top of their recommendation Russell from Inca fever blog he also
recommended this this is like a reimagining of 1001 Arabian Nights
except it features two ladies in love one of them in an effort to save her
lover from a would-be attacker tells this attacker a new story every night
and all of those stories feature female protagonists female heroes and if that
is it right up my alley I don't know what is next I have harmless like you by
Roman decile Buchanan this is literary fiction in which we
follow a Japanese woman who is trying to make it as an artist and we also follow
her son in like the future present tense kind of time and he's dealing with the
emotional fallout of his mother abandoning him I'm super excited about
this I don't remember if it was Joss or Russell who recommended this to me but
we were all booked shopping together actually a lot of these books are from
when we met book shopping together you should watch Russell's video about
it it like takes me back and makes me so happy with such a wonderful day so this
is one of the many I recommend it to me then next I have
one true love's by Taylor Jenkins three I've only read one book by Jenkins read
and that was the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo which is absolutely fabulous
it's amazing so I saw there's some book outlet and was like I gotta do it I'm
also pretty sure jaws said this was one of the few love triangles that she could
get behind that she enjoyed reading about I'm generally not huge on that so
I'm gonna trust her opinion there and this we follow a woman named Emma her
husband is like on assignment somewhere for like a documentary film and his
helicopter goes missing and then we flash forward a number of years and he
is still missing and she has fallen in love again and is engaged and then
harassment salmon comes back and so we gotta go from there it's always good to
have a little bit of fluff in your life so I'm excited to read this
next I have kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig this is a translated work
originally in Spanish and in this we follow two prisoners in Argentina one is
gay man and one is revolutionary and they are talking and sharing secrets and
one of them is like obsessed with film old movies and things like that which I
love I'm always excited about books that incorporate cinema into them I just love
it I'm really excited to read this but I'm going to save it because it's going
to be one of the selections for Russell's around the world book club so
I'm gonna read it then but it is on my radar and on my shelf I'm really excited
next I have Jane Steele by Lindsey Frey and this is like a Jane Eyre retelling
of sorts except the Jane in this is an assassin yep sign me up next I have and
again by Jessica Chia Ella and this we follow several characters who are
granted new bodies almost physically identical to their old bodies that their
old bodies were like ravaged by disease or had suffered some kind of accident
they're then put into these new bodies that are free of all of those issues any
scar or blemish except these new bodies don't have physical memories so one
character who's an artist I so like literally relearn how to hold a brush so
spooky things happen from there I think I'm guessing I don't know I'm excited
though next I have a constellation of vital phenomena by Anthony Mara this
follows several characters in Chechnya this came highly recommended from
Russell and I trust his opinion so I'm next I have another book that came
highly recommended from Russell and that is the association of small bombs by
Karan Mahajan this is about the aftermath of a small bomb that is
detonated in a marketplace and I think Delhi in 1986
Russell said that this had him crying within the first chapter or something
like that so I don't like prepare myself for a good cry with this one next I have
some middle-grade I have not been reading a whole lot of middle grade
lately so I thought I would pick some up and what I got is in the shadow of the
banyan tree I thought II Ratner this examines the horrors committed by the
Khmer Rouge in Cambodia through the eyes of a seven-year-old girl and I've heard
absolutely phenomenal things and really excited to kind of get back into middle
grade I hope this would be a good starting point for me next I have a book
that was a very very very special gift and that is my beloved world by Sonia
Sotomayor Sotomayor is the first Latina Supreme Court justice in the United
States and why this book is so very special to me is that it is a signed
edition my dad got this for me for Christmas it went missing and you
couldn't find it and so I finally found it and gave it to me and I am just so
excited and thankful and grateful that I have such an amazing dad and I can't
wait to read about an amazing woman next I have another book that I am just
unbelievably excited for and that is an unkindness of ghosts by Rivers Solomon
this is something that I had heard of but I hadn't actually done any research
into and I was just wandering around the books met and said what Cisco on my own
and the cover caught my eye and I was like oh I've heard of it and then I did
some reading and the names thrown around saying that Solomon brought to mind
these other authors it was like a mere Butler it was Colson whitehead this is
also blurbed by one of my new favorite Duvall and
this is a science fiction book examining collective trauma and racism and this we
follow our protagonist aster who is queer disabled and intersex and the
world in which this takes place is on a ship that has left earth like centuries
ago and basically Jim Crow has come back into being I am just so excited to read
this everything I've read now because I was doing a little bit of research about
it everything I've seen I said that it's absolutely amazing the world-building is
absolute phenomenal the writing is phenomenal I
just cannot wait to read this thanks I have women and power by Mary e beard
this is a teeny tiny little pocketbook I think it's only two essays in here I'm a
big fan of Mary beards I read her book SPQR which is a history of ancient Rome
it is phenomenal phenomenal historical nonfiction I was completely blown away
by it because not only is it's so meticulously
beautifully researched it's beautifully written it's also funny it's really hard
to write classical nonfiction like examining the Classical period and have
it be funny without coming across as kitschy or like the writer isn't really
focusing on the research Mary beard toed that line so beautifully it was
completely blown away and so this little book is basically an examination of
misogyny from ancient times to present focusing on a few historical examples of
that because beard I guess I didn't know this but she has been a victim of
vitriolic misogynist hatred online and in the real world as a fan of beard and
as a feminist I'm very excited to read this next I have a book that a lot of
you will probably have heard of and that is singing unvaried sang by Jasmine Ward
this is a 21st century Road novel examining race the United States we
follow a family the mother is black the father is white and incarcerated and
they have a son who's obviously biracial I am just so excited to read this I've
only heard wonderful things this won the National Book Award in 2017 I can't wait
I'm lastly I have a book that I picked up not knowing what I was about at all I
just know that I love this author and that is the refrigerator monologues by
Katherine and Valente I love Valente's work
I read radiance by her which I absolutely loved I read the girl who
circumnavigated fairyland in a ship of her own making absolutely loved that and
I am currently reading her upcoming release which is called space opera
that's gonna come out in April of this year all of those are wildly different
and so inventive and lush the writing is amazing I could go on and on and on and
so this book I was like I don't even know what it's about
I'm gonna pick it up because I love Valente and so doing a little
research first of all this is also illustrated it contains illustrations by
an emu always excited when they're surprised illustrations in a book I
maybe should have paid a little more attention to the cover where it
literally says illustrated by any whoo but there you go
so this follows like the girlfriends of superheroes the wives of superheroes
even female heroes themselves all people who have often been what's quote-unquote
called refrigerated and that's a term that's been used since 1999 I think by
gail simone because i think was in green lantern he comes home to discover this
female partner has been murdered by the arch villain of that particular story
arc and stuffed in the refrigerator and basically that website was all about
examining how in comics this is a very common thing women being used in
extremely violent ways to further the plots of male superheroes so this
follows all of those people who would have been refrigerated and tells the
story from their perspective and I'm just so excited by that whole concept I
think I said that was the last one that I have but I lied I found three more
very underneath all the other bugs that I've already talked about so here are
the final three first I have by Gaslight by Steven price this is first of all
huge so this is gonna take me a while to get through when I decide to pick it up
it's just super atmospheric creepy read in which we follow several different
characters whose lives in various ways are all tied up around this one
con-artist thief figure in Victorian London like one person is a detective
and then other characters their lives are just kind of like we related in some
way to him next I have the woman who smashed codes by Jason Foucault
this is historical one fiction all about Elizabeth Smith who was a code breaker
from World War one through the Cold War I am super super excited to read this I
love historical nonfiction I love badass ladies what more could you
want and lastly officially lastly I've now double checked and this is actually
the last book that I'm going to talk about and that is the book of the
unnamed Midwife by Meg Ellison this is a signed copy which is super cool Meg
Ellison was actually at the Lainey Zuma read clocks event a couple weeks ago we
got to chatting a little bit I did not realize who she was and she's
like actually my books right over there and I asked her what it was and I could
have this book on my radar for a while and she's like well some of them are
and I was like I'm picking it up I'm so excited this is set in a kind of
post-apocalyptic world in which a fever kills off most women and children and
for the women who do survive childbirth is now extremely extremely dangerous so
we follow a midwife in the society with a physically strongest dominate and
there are a lot of men who now seek to control the few remaining women so much
of this is right up my alley I love science fiction
I love examinations of gender power dynamics also I'm very interested in the
history of midwifery that's something that I was fascinated with in college
because midwives are one of the few groups of women in historical times that
had any kind of power and I talked about this a little bit in my read clocks
review which I will link through the cards and down below I am super super
excited to read this so that is finally at all the books that I have recently
acquired I am so unbelievably excited for all of them almost all of these are
things that I've had my eye on for a really long time or they come super
highly recommended by people whose opinions I trust so I'm just I'm so
pumped to take so much for watching if you like this video give it a thumbs up
hit subscribe to see more of my face you can find me on Twitter it possibly lit
and on Instagram it possibly literate and I'll see you next time
