Growing up, I believed everything my church said without question.

But Tony Campolo once said that even if you have infallible Scriptures, none of us are

infallible interpreters—all churches are made of fallible people, and that really hit

home with me when I realized I was still attracted to guys despite all my efforts not to be.

See, my church had taught me that being gay was a choice, but I certainly hadn't chosen it.

They'd gotten that part wrong.

And I started to wonder, if they'd gotten the choice question wrong, had they gotten

other things wrong about homosexuality and gay people?

And so started years of me asking difficult questions and doing serious Bible study instead

of just taking people's word for things.

In my book "Torn" and in other videos, I've discussed what I learned from those years

of Bible study that changed my mind from non-affirming to affirming.

I started to wonder if maybe there was room for me to actually be in a relationship.

Maybe God hadn't actually said the things my church said God said about being gay.

But when I talked to a respected leader in my church about my questions, he said to me,

"Justin, you're falling for the Devil's oldest trick."

I'm like, "What do you mean?

What's the Devil's oldest trick?"

He says, "In the Garden of Eden, the serpent comes to Eve and says, 'Did God really say…?'

"That's the Devil's oldest trick.

Encouraging people to doubt the word of God.

And that's what you're doing: asking 'Did God really say?'"

He's not the only one who's said this to me.

I was on a panel a few years ago when a conservative radio host compared my affirmation of gay

Christians to watering down God's words on theft or adultery:

If we do not believe that God could speak clearly—let's say we're the Israelites

at Mount Sinai,

say, yeah, "God did speak plainly, don't steal, don't commit adultery, but what does that

really mean?"

That's always the danger.

"Hath God really said" the old lie from the garden.

"Hath God really said…?"

"Did God really say…?"

The Devil's oldest trick—doubting and watering down the clear words of God.

Now, look, I'm the last person to advocate disregarding God's words, if God really

said something.

But is it so wrong to ask if God even said it in the first place?

I mean, it sounds pretty damning, doesn't it?

Until you actually read the passage.

The quote is from Genesis chapter 3, verse 1.

Here's the context: God has created the first two humans, Adam and Eve,

and given them a paradise to live in, the Garden of Eden.

The garden is filled with fruit-bearing trees, and God tells the humans that they can eat

from any of them,

except for one forbidden tree.

Ah, temptation.

But things seem to be going well until a serpent, commonly associated with the Devil, slithers

up to Eve and asks,

"Did God really say…?"

But wait.

Look at the question he actually asks.

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made.

He said to the woman, 'Did God really say, "You must not eat from any tree in the garden"?'"

So wait.

Think about that question for a minute.

Did God really say they couldn't eat from ANY tree in the garden?

No!

The answer to the question, "Did God really say…?" was no!

God didn't really say that!

Only one tree was forbidden!

This really is a very crafty question.

Because look at what the serpent's doing.

He isn't questioning the words God actually said.

He's doing something much sneakier.

He's subtly adding rules God never made, so as to make God seem like an unreasonable tyrant.

"Did God really say you couldn't eat from any tree in the garden?!

How unreasonable is God?

Why bother trying to follow the rules of someone that unreasonable?"

If you're going to call this the Devil's oldest trick, then the Devil's oldest trick

isn't questioning God's rules;

it's adding rules in God's name to create an unrealistically heavy burden.

And this is exactly what some churches, like the one I grew up in, have fallen for.

Growing up as a gay teen, the message I heard in church wasn't, "Be responsible with

your sexuality," or, "Wait until you get married to have sex";

it was, "Don't be a sexual being at all,"

"Don't be attracted to anyone,"

"Don't fall in love,"

"Don't even admit that you're gay."

The best I could hope for was a life alone or trapped in a loveless marriage to keep

up appearances—

but even that wasn't good enough, because I was condemned just for being gay, even if

I never acted on my feelings.

It was an unreasonable burden: Don't eat from any tree in the garden.

So is it any wonder that lots of gay kids who grew up in churches like mine just decided

God was an unreasonable bully and walked away from the church altogether?

Contrast this with Jesus, who said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light."

That wasn't remotely the message I heard as a gay teen.

So next time someone tries to use Genesis 3 and the "Devil's oldest trick" to

keep you from asking questions about whether God really said something, encourage them

to actually read the passage.

Because the only way to avoid falling victim to "the Devil's oldest trick" is to

actually ask the question.

Did God really say that?

Maybe the answer is no.

Is Pattern by Etsy Worth It? - Duration: 10:26.

If you're selling on Etsy or considering it, you probably have heard of Pattern - Etsy

website builder.

This is not a new feature.

It was first released, I believe in 2016, so it's time I do a review about it.

Should you use it?

Is it worth it?

Let's get into it.

When Etsy first announced Pattern, I was pretty excited because I'm the website girl, right?

I love branding, graphic design, web design...

That's my background originally.

So I was really excited about the opportunity of having a professional looking site without

the hassle of setting up a website from scratch.

Right?

It would pull your listings from Etsy and help you set up a shop on your own domain

with an easy drag and drop builder.

And it all sounded delicious.

Really, it sounded perfect, but to be honest, I'm not really sold on Pattern.

So this is not going to be a video where I do, you know, why it's good?

Why it's bad?

It's a little bit biased because I am not super into it, but I don't want to just say

that and I want to explain to you why I think Pattern may not be the best option if you

want to sell on your own website and on your own domain and that's what I want to get into

today.

But first let's review the basics.

How much does this thing cost is always a very important question, right?

That's in at the date of this recording, which is at July 2018, it costs $15 a month.

The listing fees that you pay on Etsy only apply for items that you sell on the Etsy

marketplace, so they do not apply to Pattern.

You get free listing on Pattern if that item is sold on the Pattern only, right?

If you sell it on the Etsy marketplace, but also on your Pattern website, then you still

pay the twenty cent listing fee from Etsy, if that makes sense.

Same transaction fee as Etsy, so you get 3.5% of the item price.

Actually, let me correct that.

It is now 5% because the fees just increased a little bit.

So, same transaction fee as you usually have on the Etsy marketplace and you do have to

buy your own domain name, which costs, depending on the provider that you pick, but they're

mostly the same price and it's usually 10 to 15 US dollars for a full year.

So this is more or less what it would cost you.

So pretty much the same thing as Etsy plus $15 a month and $15 a year for your domain

name itself.

So what does Pattern actually do?

Right?

Let's talk about that.

So what it does is it takes your Etsy listings or any new listings that you may want to add

on top of your Etsy listings and sell only on your own website and it grabs those listings

and it adds them to your very own website on a custom domain name so people can reach

your store and purchase your products using not the Etsy marketplace like you're probably

doing now, but using your own domain, your own url, so www.my cuteshop.com for example.

It will also let you pick a theme, so when you're first signing to Pattern, you can decide

the theme.

It is pretty much just the design and the layout of your shop and there are a few options

there that you can pick from.

And then it will let you make changes to that website in terms of the pictures and the content

that you want to add pretty easily, I must admit.

It is not the most intuitive option out there.

Again, I'll talk about it later.

I think there are better options with Shopify or WordPress, but it is easy to make changes

to it and it is really, really easy to set up if you already have an Etsy shop.

So why is this interesting?

Right?

Well, it is more professional to get your own website and it is a growth strategy that

I always end up recommending to Etsy sellers as they grow out and want to expand outside

of Etsy.

And for some people, I would also recommend it from the get go, getting your own website.

So the fact that it is easy to set up and that you don't have to understand how WordPress

or Shopify work because you already have your Etsy store and you can just create your website

like this is really attractive, right?

There's also no need for stock management like you would; I know a lot of makers often

complain that once they have their own website, they got to watch out because some people

will be buying on their Shopify store and then on their Etsy and so they have to make

sure that the inventory and the stock is dealt with so that you're not selling something

on Etsy that maybe you sold out and because you sold it on Shopify.

It simplifies that as well because it really is all under the same Etsy umbrella.

By the way, if you're enjoying this video, I recommend you subscribe just below by clicking

that red button before you forget, because every Tuesday I release a new video just to

help you start, grow and profit from your handmade shop.

Why do I think that you should stay away from Pattern, and again, I'm really open to your

conversation in the comments below.

I believe that when you sign up for Pattern you're losing what Etsy does best, which is

bringing traffic to the platform for you and putting buyers in front of your products without

getting any of the benefits that you would have from a platform, a website building platform

like Shopify or WordPress, right?

So let's get into more details.

The cost to start with: you'll still have to pay the Etsy fees, right?

On top of that, you have to pay $15 a month, which is honestly a lot considering how many

features they actually give you access to for that amount of money.

So yes, you don't have to pay for hosting for example, that's included in your $15 a

month, but with WordPress

you can find hosting for as little as $5 a month.

And with Shopify it is a bit more expensive, the monthly ongoing cost, but it is because

it comes with a ton of features and flexibility and more support and generally more of everything

like you can be sure that Shopify or WordPress will grow with your business and that you

will always be able to add marketing features and add ons or plugins as you need them and

as your business grows, which you don't get with Etsy Pattern.

In terms of the design, you also have much more options available to you with WordPress

or Shopify and most themes on those platforms are really easy to modify and to play with

really into design was drag and drop builders.

So it's not like Pattern is super easy and there's no other option out there,

there really is.

There are themes that are great and that can help you get set up really quickly and make

changes without knowing a single line of code.

Right?

And I can put link below to resources to help you for that, for Shopify and WordPress if

you're interested.

Now, something else that I found a little bit disappointing was analytics, which with

Pattern you sorta get just the same thing as you were getting with your Etsy shop, which

is not great to start with.

Whereas with Shopify or WordPress you can integrate fully with something like Google

analytics and really dive deeper into understanding the behavior of your visitor on your shop

and changing your marketing strategy accordingly, which is really important if you're serious

about growing this handmade shop.

So I really want you to think longterm here and I just don't think that Pattern will be

enough for you to grow as much as you want to.

Whereas something like Shopify and WordPress, that's what they do.

That's their core focus and so you will be able to evolve and grow on those platforms

much more than you would with Pattern.

Another thing that comes to mind is that I want you to own your own website, to own your

email list, and I did a video I can link to it below about what marketing your Etsy shop

and real estate have in common and it's all about owning your business rather than renting

it.

And the concern with Etsy Pattern is what if Etsy decides to close Pattern tomorrow?

I know they don't have any plans to, but a couple of weeks ago they actually decided

to close the whole wholesale Etsy feature and you know, we didn't know about that until

they announced it.

So the idea is to not put all your eggs into one basket.

So if you're already selling on Etsy marketplace, go and set yourself up with something else

like Shopify or like WordPress so that if anything happened with Etsy or Etsy Pattern,

then you have those other options for yourself.

Don't put all of your eggs in the same one Etsy basket is my top recommendation here.

So here's the sort of conclusion, right?

Building a platform, in my opinion, the way WordPress or Shopify have done it takes a

lot of time and a lot of effort and I just don't think that this is where Etsy will focus

their effort the most.

Etsy is amazing at gathering handmade shop buyers and driving that traffic to the Etsy

marketplace so that you can take advantage of it as an Etsy seller, but as soon as you

sell on Pattern you're not really getting that traction anymore and you still have to

bring your own traffic to your website.

But as I was saying before, you're also missing out on all the features

that something like Shopify or WordPress would allow you to have in place on your own website.

So I do really think that is worth the time and it doesn't have to take long, again, I'll

put some resources below the video just for you to set up your website on a platform like

Shopify or WordPress and to use Etsy as what it is for what it does best, which is a handmade

marketplace.

So I would love to know, and let me know in the comments below: have you used Pattern

yourself or are you considering it?

What's your thoughts on it?

I'd love to know.

I'd love to get the conversation going in the comments below, and if you like this video,

sellers and handmade shop owners that you can access for free and full of guides and

ebooks and checklists to help you start grow and profit from your handmade shop.

I will talk to you next Tuesday.

Bye Bye.

Abraham Hicks - Know when you're in alignment - Duration: 10:23.

hello Abraham it was interesting earlier Peter and I were standing by the door

having a conversation and someone came in and looked at both of our name tags

and said hi Jerry he'd combined the letters of both of our name tags and

just gotten confused or thought he'd gotten confused but Peter and I both

appreciated the synchronicity of that yeah I love everything that I have heard

today and it's really changed my asking and it's evolved the whole seminar

perfect words because you're in a new place your point of Attraction has

changed not just your words everything about you has changed because your set

point has shifted your point of Attraction has shifted and everything in

your world will be different since the last time we spoke I've been meditating

every day and using the guidelines that you've shared in the coaching that you

showed with the meditation and I've seen a lot of changes in the quality of

relationships and interactions and just found a lot more satisfaction throughout

each and every day and a lot more satisfying moments and as I hear you

talk about the state of alignment and being in alignment and accessing the

power that creates worlds part of me wonders how much the time am I really in

alignment we want to ask you a question and we think this is something that all

of you will be able to answer tip one is ask step to source answer step three as

you get into alignment step four you stay there often Step five is when

there's contrast you're not mad at yourself so it's the step five that we

adore most of all because that means life is doing what life will do to your

advantage and you are letting the advantage be yours so here's our

question to you let's say that you've been doing as you described you've been

meditating you know you're tuned in and you're feeling higher degrees of

satisfaction more during the day and then something happens that clearly you

don't want to happen and if you could have chosen if somebody had said do you

want that or that you wouldn't have chosen it necessarily your conscious

mind would not have said bring to me but there you are in the middle of

it but now you're not upset you're still in the satisfying mode because your

feelings satisfied in what the contrast is now producing in terms of evolution

we'll say it again Step five is something went wrong ordinarily you'd

have a little fit you don't feel like having a fit because before it went

wrong you had prepared the atmosphere so now life can show you something unwanted

and since you're still in the receiving mode the solution occurs in the moment

that you turn your attention to the problem can there be anything more

satisfying than that that's what tuned in tapped in turned on

athletes do when they're in the middle of something everything that could go

wrong is because they have opponents trying to make sure that everything goes

wrong for them and in their attunement to source energy they anticipate and

find ways to turn what their opponent considered a problem into something

that's a solution or a score for them are you following us a little bit in

this we like it so much when you reach the place where you can embrace all life

because until then you want to do what almost all humans want to do you want to

sort the environment into piles these are good piles these are bad piles these

are good people these are bad people these are good intentions these are bad

intentions and then you get this war against these things that you do not

want that just acts as a self-defeating mechanism all of the days of your life

you were not born to be against things you were born to be for things you knew

that the contrast would produce desire within you and that than the desire once

you consciously realized it that then you would be for it and so you're all

rolling along you're doing really good at that we just want you to reach this

place where when something happens that you think you're not for

that you don't lose your connection that you're able to see it through the eyes

of source it's fun to play with you it's fun to watch you it's fun to know you

it's fun to know who you really are our eyes are on the vortex version of you

everything that we know about you is the vortex version of you

every thought that we think about you is the vortex version of you what thoughts

are you thinking about you are they the vortex version of you are they the now

reality version of you are they the defensive version

are they the protective version are your thoughts about you and your world and

others around you are they satisfying thoughts are they defensive thoughts are

they thoughts that feel like satisfying all the way to love or they thoughts

that feel like dissatisfying all the way to hate when you reach the place and

you're there where you don't ask the world to change in order to deserve your

love you just find a way to love it anyway what happens is you stay in that

Step five position where contrast will show itself to you because it is

essential to evolution and evolution is what you are all about that's why you

came you are an eternal being you came knowing that there is no ending

to that which you are so how do you reconcile that if you are an eternal

being in a contrasting environment isn't it essential that you find a way to

embrace the very contrast that is essential for the eternal nature of your

being and isn't it the opposite when you say this is right and this is wrong and

all people should agree with this rightness or wrongness isn't limiting

the variety of the universe moving backwards and isn't expanding the

variety of the universe moving forward it's either expansion or it's not which

is it are you proponents of expansion are you

proponents of more because we want you to know that's who your inner

being is the mantra of the non-physical universe of that which man wants to call

God that which we call all that is the mantra is more because nothing else is

logical and fortunately humans don't have their hand on that lever the more

is a sure thing all you can do as an individual is pinch yourself off from

this life force that is flowing to you and through you and when you pinch it

off it feels sucky and when you allow it it

feels wonderful and as you come to consciously manage that life becomes

sublime do you feel like you followed most of this today we do do you feel

like satisfaction is the key for you we do do you think you know the difference

between the satisfying feeling and one that isn't we do do you think that we're

asking you to stay in satisfaction all the time no just know the difference and

lean that way and the more you're aware and the more you lean that way the more

of it you will feel and the more you will fulfill your intention in coming

here so now think about what we just said think about what we just said in

the last 10 minutes and then think about this you are Source Energy and you

existed in a vibrational state of being and you made the deliberate intention to

focus some of that consciousness into this physical body and you intended with

everything you are to have joyous expansion while you are here and now

it's time for you to find ways of fulfilling that intention you said I'm a

lover and I'm gonna go forth and I'm gonna love and I'm a creator and I'm

gonna go forth and I'm going to create and I am strong I'm not vulnerable I

don't need to be protected or defended I have the resources that create worlds

flowing through me and so my life will do for me just what I knew it would do

it will produce personal intentional desires

within me and when that happens I will feel a feeling everything's ill eration

certainly a feeling of satisfaction and then I will follow the lead of what my

life has produced for me it is your intention not just in this body but

forevermore to live happily ever after and it is our promise to you that once

you make your transition in a non-physical

you'll recall that and you'll experience it and you will embrace it fully our

part with you is it we all agreed that we would find some conversations to make

it possible and probable in fact certain that you can live happily ever after

while you're here in this body just like you intended and if you don't care who

gets the credit and you don't care who else does it or doesn't do it you'll

just be fine and you'll accomplish it sooner than later we've enjoyed this

interaction immensely there is great love here for you which is very

satisfying to us and as always we remain in your vortex

you

EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE (ft. Jordan Peterson and Jay Shetty) - WATCH THIS NOW! - Duration: 13:40.

The number one mistake that people are making in life today and it's

just so unbelievably obvious is they're living life in the middle you know 99.9%

of the people that watch or listen to this content are living in the middle

there they're hedging and making excuses and justifying why they are not 100% happy

it's because like every other person out there besides a few select people

they are living in this middle ground and I just say the middle and

when I think about how you win in business and entrepreneurship the most

of all in life it's by understanding the macro and micro opportunities and

executions if you really understand how to break through how to be in that zone

how to really win the game it comes down to a strategy that looks

like this are you balancing your ego with your humility are you balancing

your ego with your humility do you really think that you're the

greatest of all time and you can do it and that also you're a piece of shit

and nobody cares when you're gone

when you become 18 nobody tells you that it's now

gonna be your job to parent yourself

and by parent yourself I mean it's your

job to make yourself do the crap you don't want to do so you can be

everything that you're supposed to be and you're so damn busy waiting to feel

like it and you're never going to my son never feels like getting off his DS

that's my job

get off the damn DS

Kendall clean up the Barbies

if you're gonna have a nude party in my bathroom at least clean it up

God chew with your mouth closed we're on a barn for crying out loud

all right dinners coming get out of the pantry

As parents when you were a kid

your parents make you do the things you don't feel like doing

because you won't

ever

not now not then not ever and even when you

get good at something you'll figure out something else you don't want to do and

then you'll plateau out and you'll get bored now I hate this job

but will you look for a new one?

You'll just bitch about that one

it's very very simple to get what you want

But its not easy

My standards are mandatory because you get your standards right so

the reason my standards are set so high is because I don't want to leave

it up to my own devices, my standard is one more minute on the

treadmill my standard is one more person I can reach that big one more phone call

one more something and so for me I raise them every single year

but the way I get to do it as I link it to my reasons and so goals are really empty to me

I have a thing on goal-setting but like my big thing is that you show me

someone with compelling emotional gigantic reasons I'll show you someone

who's changing their standards all day

A wise person once said the tragedy of life is not death but what we let die

inside of us while we're still alive we think we're the victims but actually we

should be the suspects because it seems we've killed more dreams than rejection

we've given our ambitions a life long sentence it's trapped deep inside of us

it makes no sense it's been locked for so long we've even forgotten its name

everything we do today feels like it's all the same our dream

is like a prisoner trapped within us a vacant listener

your vision until someone comes and says you don't see your own potential it's

like we all need our own intervention a moment with a mentor a coach or a guide

the type that sparks a light deep inside our minds and then they ask us what's

your passion we shrug it off and say that stuff doesn't happen and then they

push us a little further probe us to think deeper they're always focused on

helping us find the hope inside of ourselves let me ask you would you let

someone who had incredible potential die right next to you

you would never do that

so why do we let them die right inside of us

that's why the missing link is a coach

a coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear and has you

see what you don't want to see so you can be what

you have always known you can be

some of us get given people some of us get given lessons

but all of us get given moments to change the trajectory of our lives

we can't imagine Kobe Bryant without Phil Jackson

we can't imagine Serena Williams without Patrick Mouratoglou

we can't imagine Tom Brady without Alex Guerrero

it's not about what we take it's about what we leave behind

Maya Angelou said

"People will forget what you said they'll forget what you did..

but they'll never forget how you made them feel"

Picasso said that

"The meaning of life is to find your gift

and the purpose of life is to give it away"

coaches can be

found in books mentors can be found in schools guides will be found throughout

life we don't have to be in the same room to understand their point of view

we don't have to know them for them to show you the way we just have to have

the burning desire to learn

behind every great person is a coach that we may not even know

A name that we may not recognize a face and we may never see

A lot of people have gone further than they thought because someone else thought they could

You know there are very clear reasons that we have for doing the things that

we do and there's also very clear reasons

but maybe not obvious as to why

we simply won't change you know one of the things that I've been fascinated

with since I began my career is

why do you know what to do but still won't do it

and people say oh I want to lose weight I want to get healthy I want

to be successful I want to do all of these things but then we see them not

taking the simple steps to actually make that possible and what we're talking

about tom is such a bigger conversation there are such deep-rooted issues and

deep-rooted events and deep-rooted pains and traumas within us that it's not as

simple as do this and then you'll be skinny

do this and then you'll be successful

it's really runs much deeper than that

transformation gets thrown around a lot

and I love the definition the way Krishnamurti defined it

he said when you begin to understand what you are

without trying to change it

then what you are undergoes a transformation

so what he's saying is you know don't

seek to just disregard everything that you've been through and what's got

you here where you are now because it's what we try to do right we just try to

take a new road don't disregard that but instead try to understand it try to

understand who you are as opposed to trying to just be different because when

you can understand who you are and why you are that way

that's where transformation happens

and then once you understand that piece

change is so much easier

The circumambulation that yoni talked about was this continual circling

in some sense of who you could be you

might notice for example that there are themes in your life you know when you go

back across your experiences you see you kind of have your typical experience

that sort of repeats itself and there might be variation on it like a musical theme

but it's like you're circling yourself and getting closer to yourself

as you move across time that's the circumambulation

Remember that for a second we'll go back to it

okay so imagine that something glimmers before you

it's an interest that's dawning and you decide well first of all

you're paralyzed you think well how do I know if I should pursue that it's

probably a stupid idea and the proper response to that is you're right it

probably is a stupid idea because almost all ideas are stupid and so the

probability that as you move forward on your adventure that you're gonna get it

right the first time is zero it's just not gonna happen

and so then you might think well maybe I'll just wait around until I get the

right idea and which people do right so they're like 40 year old thirteen year olds

which is not a good idea so they wait around until

it's Waiting for Godot

until they finally got it right but the problem is you're too

stupid to know when you've got it right so waiting around isn't gonna help

because even if the perfect opportunity manifested itself to you in

your incomplete form the probability that you would recognize it as the

perfect opportunity is zero you might even think it's the worst possible idea

that you've ever heard of anywhere highly likely highly likely

Nietzsche called that a will to stupidity which I really liked

because he thought of stupidity as

You have to take it into account fundamentally and work with it and so and so you can

take these tentative steps on your pathway to destiny and you can assume

that you're gonna do it badly and that's really useful because you don't have to

beat yourself up it's pretty easy to do it badly but the thing is it's way

better to do it badly than not to do it at all and that's

the continual message that echoes through these historical stories in

Genesis it's like these are flawed people they should have got the hell out

of their house way before they did and they go out and they stumble around in

tyranny and famine and self betrayal and and violence and but it's a hell of a

lot better than just rotting away at home and that's the that's great so

that's good and so why is that well okay so you you start your path and you think

that you're heading you know towards your star and so you go in that

direction and then because you're here the world looks a particular way but

then when you move here the world looks different and you're different as a

consequence of having made that voyage and so what that means is that now that

thing that glimmers in front of you is going to have shifted its location

because you aren't very good at specifying it to begin with and now that

you're a little sharper and more focused than you were it's it's going to reveal

itself with more accuracy to you and so then you have to take

you know it's almost like 180 degree reversal but it isn't because you know

I mean you've gone this far and that's a

long ways to get that far but that's a lot farther than you would be if you

just stayed where you were waiting and so it doesn't matter that you overshoot continually

because as you overshoot even if you don't learn what you should

have done you're going to continually learn what you shouldn't keep doing

and if you learn enough about what you shouldn't keep doing then that's

tantamount at some point to learning at the same time what you should be doing

so it's okay so it's like this now what's cool about it though I think is that

As you progress the degree of overshooting starts to decline right and

we know that there's nothing hypothetical about that

as you learn a new skill

like even to play a song on the piano for example

you overshoot madly you're making all sorts of mistakes to begin with and then the

mistakes they disappear the fact that you're full of faults doesn't mean you

have to stop and thank God for that that's a really useful thing and the

fact that you're full of faults doesn't mean that you can't learn and so you can

posit an ideal and you're gonna be wrong about it but it doesn't matter

because what you're right about is positing the ideal moving towards it

if the actual ideal isn't

conceptualized perfectly well first surprise surprise because like what are

you going to do that's perfect so it doesn't matter that it's imperfect it

just matters that you do it and then you move forward so that's really that's

really positive news as far as I'm concerned because you can actually do

that right you can do it badly anyone can do that so that's useful

Public Speaking is Like Singing | Public Speaking Tips | Improve Public Speaking - Duration: 2:27.

This tip from Sunderban Bangladesh yesterday i had one program here I've

come here to give one talk and it was a blend of speeches and two to three

performance by singers and i noticed one very good band came on the stage they

were three people in that band and one by one everyone started speaking now

many times we have seen that people even if you're a singer they speak for a few

minutes before they start performing their songs and I noticed when they were

speaking they were very nervous they were not looking confident all three but

when they started singing oh my god they were completely different personality

they rock the stage people were dancing on their songs there were

awesome singers but why why suddenly when they started singing

they were completely different people they were confident and why

when they were speaking they were not and I answer to this why is very simple

because like singing even speaking is a skill they have learned singing skills

that's why they were confident while singing they have not learned speaking

skills that's why they were not confident when they were speaking on the

stage speaking is a learnable skill in singing we learn sa ra ga ma we learns

nodes in speaking we learn body language we learn vocal variety we learn

how to take and when to take pause in your talks and not only we learn

in singing we learn all this and then we practice in speaking we also learn and

we practice even if you learn no one in one night can become a good singer no

one can become a good speaker in one night we have to learn and practice

again and again but you know what if you don't like singing it's okay it's not

going to spoil your career but if you don't like speaking it doesn't matter

whether you like it you don't like it you have to learn speaking because if you

want to be a leader in your life you have to separate yourself from the crowd

stand alone and speak start learning speaking this is

What is Affiliate Marketing And How To Succeed With It in Online Business? (Rachel S. Lee Interview) - Duration: 4:33.

How's it going everybody! It's Devin Howard from SaveMoneyTricks.com and,

right now, I'm here with Rachel S. Lee of the DailyCommissionsClub.com.

So, I know that our viewers and I have a bunch of questions for you about affiliate

marketing and the different opportunities that you can have as an

affiliate for a marketing company, so, first, can you go into a little detail

and tell me what is Affiliate Marketing?

Yeah! So, Affiliate Marketing is when you make a commission of promoting some other company's product or digital products even

Wow! Okay, so, I think what a lot of people are wondering about

Affilliate Marketing is "Doesn't really work?!"

"Can you really earn money from it?"

The truth is less than 3% of people actually

end up making money online but it's because they're not actually serious

about it or not committed. There's so much resources and trainings and

strategies out there, it's just being in the right mindset and motivated enough

to actually take action on implementing what you learned

But you've had success as an affiliate for marketing companies, correct?

Yeah, but it wasn't always like

that in the beginning. I definitely struggled for the first few years but

then I realized it's just because I needed some more patience, I needed to

dedicate myself to learning a little bit more and testing things, and finding out

what works for me. So, what did work for you? What tools did

you use? What companies have you partnered with? Give us the inside scoop

on how you have achieved success as an affiliate for marketing companies.

Yeah. definitely! I mean, in the beginning, I definitely did try to be an

affiliate for some companies I did not have success with, partially it was my

lack of implementing but also maybe it wasn't the best product to promote with

the best commission structure, so, it's really important to find a really good

product that people want, so, you're not promoting something that nobody wants.

I also really like recurring revenue models. So, instead of just making a

commission one time from promoting something, I like models where every

single month you're making a commission, if that is that make sense, guys!

I mean, it's like you want to get a lot of traffic you want to collect leads and

you want to make sales but you might as well be making continuous passive income from your efforts.

Another thing is having a good sales funnel,

a good sales page to drive traffic to, so, you don't have to do all

the work and selling, and, I also like multi-tier commissions.

So, instead of just making that commission off your direct sale, I also like to make

commission off of other affiliates efforts too.

Okay, cool! So, you've mentioned having a sales funnel, you mentioned recurring income, you've mentioned

two-tier commission earning potential.. What company offers all that?

So, there's some different ones, I do prefer digital programs like online marketing tools

that online marketers need or entrepreneurs need. I did recently find a

sales funnel website building software that does have all of that, it has the

great product that a lot of people and business owners need, it has recurring

revenue model and has two-tier commission structure and it's in an

everlasting niche of online marketing and website building softwares.

There's new websites being put up every single day, so, I might

as well get your commission from promoting it.

Well, I know I'm interested! What company is it?

Oh ,well, I really like this one called BUILDERALL. I've had a lot of success with it. I have promoted others sales funnel

softwares or website building softwares before and gotten results but with

BUILDERALL I seem to get faster results because the price point is so low, the

commission structure is some high comes with so many features, so, my numbers

don't lie! BUILDERALL is working out reall well for me!

Wow! Well, that's exciting news and I'm sure that's something that our viewers will be really interested in

exploring a little bit more, so, I'll be linking to the BUILDERALL website right

down there in the description and if you like this interview and you'd like more

Why Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is finding it EASIER to sign players ? ● News Now ● #LFC - Duration: 2:25.

JURGEN KLOPP believes Liverpool's success in Europe last season is a key factor when

trying to lure new signings to Anfield.

The Reds made it all the way to the Champions League final before being beaten 3-1 by Real

Madrid.

They had blown away Manchester City and Roma on the way to the final in May, as they bagged

47 goals during the competition.

That broke the all-time record for most goals in a Champions League season beating Barcelona's

45 from the 99/00 campaign.

And having forced their way back into contention on the European stage, Klopp believes it's

easier to sign players.

"We are really back among the top clubs in Europe," Klopp told the Liverpool Echo.

"That's a big achievement.

Nobody is really interested but it is.

"We feel it when we sign players now.

It's not that we come and say: 'By the way, Liverpool is not as bad as everyone says and

the club is still existing, we're still here.'

"We are on the screen now for all the players in the world.

They watched us last season, they watched us the year before, they saw what we did.

"It's much easier to convince, actually we don't need to convince them.

"With Virgil van Dijk it was like this, with Naby Keita it was like this.

Before that it was the same with Sadio Mané and Mo Salah.

"We only spoke about football - that was enough.

That's a good sign for us.

Of course we now have to carry on in that way."

Klopp has strengthened Liverpool with the signings of Alisson, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri

while Naby Keita also completed his move.

And James Milner believes the strength in depth will help Liverpool be successful again

this season.

"There are so many players here and so much quality and competition for places," Milner

recently told Liverpool's official website.

"They're here for their quality and pushing everyone as well.

Daya's Addiction - Orange is the New Black Season 6 Review and Reaction (OITNB) - Duration: 10:11.

and this orange is the new black season 6 review we're gonna be talking about

daya's drug addiction I am a recovering drug addict so I have a little bit of a

reaction to how they portrayed it so make sure you stay tuned what is

everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but

focus on the solution and welcome back to another video where I'm talking about

orange is the new black season 6 it's a great show I love this show and if

you're new to my channel I am a mental health Channel and I also talk about

addiction things like that I've been clean from drugs and alcohol for six

years now and what I try to do with these videos is I try to make it so when

we're watching this different type of content you know whether it's YouTube or

Netflix or movies or TV shows whatever it is like what lessons can we learn

from it so as a drug addict in recovery something I'm always doing whenever a

show depicts drug addiction I always want to see like are they doing it well

are they perpetuating a stigma are they perpetuating any kind of misconceptions

about drug addiction the things like that so I want to talk about what

happened in season six of YTN beep alright so there will be some spoilers

not like major spoilers but whatever go watch the show come back whatever you

got to do anyways so died in season six she is dealing with the wreckage of her

past like this is something that all the characters are dealing with I'll link up

in the info card the last video I did like one of the overarching likes themes

of this season is like dealing with stuff like these bad decisions that you

made and dealing with the consequences and stuff like that

so anyways so dire she ends up getting charged with a bunch more stuff which

pretty much extends her her sentence for indefinitely right and this is a result

of the prison riot and things like that she's actually the one who held the gun

in the first place they kind of kicked this thing off after poussey died but

anyways so in this season you know there's different blocks and things like

that and that's not too much of this video but

gets introduced to a new character referred to as daddy and she used to be

like a pimp for like a better word on the outside but now on the inside she

works right underneath barb who pretty much runs that block and she peddles

drugs specifically prescription opioids I believe like the primary drug is

oxycontin alright so anyways like one of the things that's messed up in this

season is like now that there am at like a lot of these women are getting beaten

by the CEOs and stuff like that so daya has been getting beaten and daddy comes

up to her and she's like yo I got some pills for you and and she's just playing

nice with daya like and in prison well you gotta kind of be wondering like what

are you trying to give me like what do you want in return and things like that

pretty much was just you know multiple times then finally Dyer takes the oxy

and this kind of sets off a series of events so dye develops an addiction so

we'll talk about that in a second the first thing that I want to talk about

like how they depicted it and this isn't the show's bad like the show didn't do

anything wrong but when I was watching this my girlfriend I just told her like

I find it really interesting like you see it coming from a mile away like as

somebody who is in recovery and as somebody who watches like different

shows and movies and things like that like once this character gets introduced

to drugs you know that they're gonna become addicted and what I was telling

that girlfriend it's interesting like not everybody develops an addiction like

so many people out there like if you go to some of my other videos like a lot of

the negative comments like think that I'm like saying that oh if you touch

this drug you're gonna become a drug addict and like that's not the case

that's not the case at all like 1 out of every 12 people develops a drug or

alcohol addiction like it's not the case at all but I find

it interesting that shows make it seem sometimes like okay you tried this drug

now you're hooked and that's kind of what happened with diet I'm like it'd be

kind of interesting if diet took these medications to deal with the pain after

getting the snot beat out of her by the COS and then she stopped using up all

right that would be interesting you know what I mean

that's just like me being nitpicky stuff like you just you know it's coming

and in a sense that kind of does perpetuate this stigma and I think it

might be why so many people push back on this whole I don't give opiates or

opioids to anybody especially who are in chronic pain because there's kind of

this idea that anybody who tries them will become addicted that's not always

the case let's talk about dyers addiction so as a recovering drug addict

like so much of it like it was real like they did a great job showing it and

here's why for those of you who aren't educated about addiction and you're not

an addict in recovery or anything like that I hopefully share this video

because they showed what can happen like this isn't just like making a bad choice

so if you get into the mind of the character of diet light things have been

going bad for her for a long time so she is the child of you know a mother who

you know always was dating drug dealers and things like that so like from a

young age dai has already been around it and one of the leading risk factors for

developing an addiction is being around that stuff costly when you're out of

young age that's one thing that she had going for the next one is her baby so

not only did she get him pregnant by a co but this dude just straight up and

left okay so that's another thing right next she had to give her baby up for

adoption okay next after that I guess an

additional sentence added on to her original sentence and there's much more

that I can't even remember right now but these things start stacking up so in

prison especially in this character situation I could see how hope is lost

right when you're feeling hopeless and the three weeks is people use drugs or

drink alcohol is to get a feeling to get rid of a feeling or to have an escape

and I can see daya having all three of those if not just to get rid of a

feeling and to have an escape right like you're stuck in prison you're gonna be

there forever so I can see diet just saying screw this like I'm just gonna

used well it's like well I've avoided it I have a Mike drugs and things like that

but whatever I'm gonna start using and abusing these drugs like the only thing

I'll say that the show could have done a little bit better is if they show it how

this thinking like sneak up on you but what dies it was a really really fast

progression okay and one thing okay so I guess there is one thing I don't think

that they did very well dier was like physically dependent on

these drugs after a very short period of time that doesn't really happen you got

to be abusing drugs like an excess for a while like even if you're getting a

standard dose it's gonna take a while to become physically dependent your body

has to change its internal chemistry to think that it needs this substance in

order to feel well and for daya like her full-blown dependency happened like in a

matter of days maybe maybe weeks but she was dependent very very quick

so anyways play ends up happening is the supplier ends up not being there anymore

right well he's still there but he can't

supply drugs anymore for whatever reasons there was this little rat

infestation joke that they played and that's not the point anyways so they

can't really get these drugs anymore so anyways daddy intz up showing daya

the secret stash of barb so barb for those of you don't know she's like the

head gal in charge Riley she calls out here it's like she's like the ringleader

she is the head boss okay so daddy ends up giving daya some of the secret stash

from this little cleaning closet okay so daddy is faced with this dilemma

because so many people are feeding and I'm gonna talk touch on that in a second

so many people are Femi and she ends up giving a diet a little bit of barb stuff

but when daya wants more and daddys not getting more daya ends up making the

insane decision to go in there and steal from barb okay

and like this is very real like this is real like when you become addicted to a

substance you put yourself in danger right you put yourself in danger in ways

that you would have never done before because you need it so bad so dial was

literally literally putting her life at risk to go steal drugs not only that but

she was putting daddy's life at risk by going to steal these drugs from barb

like barb could have put a hit out on them

like that okay so that is very realistic like I don't think people understand

like people like oh do since just a choice like we do so many things that we

know is wrong that we know is dangerous but we do it because we don't know what

else to do okay so they portrayed that really well like she went to

lazy lanes but anyways I think the other thing that they did really well was

showing all of the other inmates who are struggling with withdrawal and how they

were costly nagging daddy for drugs when are you getting them when are you

getting them what's going on and you could see them getting more restless and

they're getting more irritable and you know they're getting very angry and

things like that yeah that's some real stuff like I went to a detox center and

like it's like that you know like costly people were at the nurse's station like

trying to figure out ways to manipulate and get different drugs and things like

that oh I need this you don't understand they get very angry and agitated you

might have already seen this like maybe a pharmacy counter like if somebody's

prescription didn't go through they get really agitated so I think orange is the

new black did a good job with that overall I think they did you know maybe

yeah maybe we'll give it a 7 they did a 7 out of 10 on depicting addiction and

things like that I just had a few little crimes many ways I hope you like this

analysis if you did like please give it a thumbs up let me know if there's any

other characters or storyline so you want me to breakdown I got a couple

other ones that I'm doing this week but I would love to hear from you but I

would also like to hear from you if you think they did a good job showing

addiction on here alright again if you like this video please give it a thumbs

🥚 The Shocking Truth Between Free Range, Cage Free and Pasture Raised Eggs? - Duration: 5:38.

Hi, It's Dr Sam Robbins,

I think eggs are a great source of protein.

The yolk and white each about 11 amino acids and when combined together, (as it's found

in nature) is a complete protein with an extremely high "Biological Value".

This also means all of you silly people who are eating only the egg whites, are missing

out on half the amino acids and most of the nutrients.

The yolk, even though it has all the fat and cholesterol, does NOT increase your "bad"

LDL lipoprotein cholesterol.

It actually increases your, "good", HDL lipoprotein cholesterol.

And the best way to eat eggs are raw, but since most won't do this - you should have

the yolk runny and soft - you don't want to "over heat" it and change the fat structure.

Thus, soft-boiled or "sunny side up" would be ideal.

Eggs are great for building muscle AND losing fat.

Great for your brain.

And, fantastic for optimizing your hormones.

However, the problem is that most eggs come from unhealthy chicken and thus, the eggs

are also "unhealthy".

So, you think you're doing the right thing by eating eggs that say:

"Cage Free" "Free Range"

"Vegetarian Raised" "Pasture Raised"

Etc.

And yet, the prices vary greatly and at the end of the day, you're getting lied to.

So today's video will quickly explain the real truth behind the "marketing scams"

of the food industry.

And I'll also reveal the BEST and only type of egg you should be eating.

I'm Paying More, So It Must Be Better When I was having the conversation with one

of my fitness friends, he said "I only get cage free, it costs more, but it's worth

it.

It's better for the chicken, the environment and it's a healthier egg as well"

And I said to him, "yeah, that's what THEY want you to believe - but this isn't

the case.

It's not even close!"

Cage Free - Not!

This simply means that the chickens are not in "boxed cases".

However, they're still confined in very small and closed off quarters inside a building.

They get no sunlight or access to the outdoors.

Their days are spent without any movement, standing in their own filth.

Free Range - Not!

According to the USDA regulation, "free range" only means that the chickens are

allowed "access" to the outside with no specifications as the quality or the duration

of that outside exposure.

In this situation, the chickens are still crammed in large warehouses.

However, there is a small door on one end that opens to a few feet of outside dirt space.

But the sad truth is that the chickens never even know that door exists and couldn't

get there even if they wanted to.

Vegetarian Fed - Bad!

This is a newer term that is appearing on egg cartons.

People read it and think, "Wow.

The chickens must be fed healthy vegetables and grains."

Ummm…no.

A chicken is a natural carnivore.

It eats on flesh.

It also likes to eat bugs and insects.

It is NOT a vegetarian.

A "vegetarian raised" chicken is completely raised on industrialized feed (probably GMO)

and is never allowed outside.

EVER!

This is actually the WORST form of egg.

Pasture Raised - This Is It!

So, this is the type of eggs I eat, including animal protein.

Although it does not have any current regulations, it is being used by sustainable farmers to

mean chickens raised in the outdoors… in the pasture.

Thus, this is what you actually think about - chickens outside, doing their own thing

in nature.

This is what you want to buy if you are shopping for eggs.

And yes, this does cost more - but it's well worth it.

Another thing to remember is that all of these other ones I mentioned today - "cage free",

"free range", "vegetarian" and so forth - well, you're paying way more for

the LABEL, even though the egg is not any healthier.

So either get the cheapest eggs you can find if you don't care …. or only get Pasture

Raised.

Everything else is a scam and waste of money.

However, I want you to remember that when you eat something, you're eating what IT

ate too.

If the animal ate unnatural foods for its species, GMO sources and so forth, it changes

the hormones and structure of the animal and protein and thus, you're getting junk.

This is true for vegetables, carbohydrates, fruits and fats and ALL foods.

If you put bad fuel in your car, it's not going to run optimally and it'll cause things

to break down much faster.

So try your best to put the "best fuel" in YOUR body - Eat as close to natural as

possible.

If you found it helpful, please give it a "thumbs up" and "share the health"

with others, so they can benefit as well.

Are You A Mouth Breather? If So, It Could Harm Your Health - Duration: 3:02.

You've probably already heard several jokes about it, but as it turns out, breathing through

your mouth is actually more harmful than you might think.

Some people breathe through their mouth all day, but others only have this habit at night,

when they're asleep and don't even notice they're doing it.

Apart from this, breathing through your mouth can bring several negative consequences to

your health, such as:

It reduces your lung's ability to absorb oxygen which can have serious long-term health

consequences and might even affect your blood pressure and heart health.

Since our nose filters and moistens the air we inhale, breathing through our mouth means

we're allowing microbes and other impurities to enter our system.

When we breathe through our mouth we dry it out, promoting acidity and increasing the

risk of plaque buildup and cavities. We also become more likely to develop gingivitis.

People who breathe through their mouth can bother others around them since they're

more likely to snore.

This condition may be caused by a nasal obstruction, or even a a habit developed during infancy,

and has several long term health risks. If this is you, here are a few valuable tips

to help you get rid of this habit:

Try sleeping with your head elevated by using an extra pillow. By placing your head in a

higher position you're opening your air passages and preventing snoring.

Aerobics and yoga can also be beneficial for people who breathe through their mouth since

they encourage inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. They can

be even more beneficial for people who are overweight and tend to adopt this bad habit.

If you suffer from allergies and a stuffy nose, try removing anything from your bedroom

that may be causing allergy attacks. Items such as carpets, rugs, and old pillows could

be worsening your breathing at night.

You can also try and break the habit by paying more attention to your breathing. If you need

to, put little notes around your home and workplace to remind yourself to breathe through

your nose.

If you normally breathe through your mouth while you're asleep you can always tape

your mouth shut to force yourself to breathe through your nose. It may be a little uncomfortable

in the beginning, so try moisturizing the skin around your mouth to keep it from hurting

when you remove the tape.

As we've said before, some people may have problems breathing through their nose due

to an obstruction, like a deviated septum. In these cases, you should consult a specialist.

Try to follow our tips, and with practice and patience you'll be able to break this

bad habit!

What Is Angels of Death? | First Reaction - Duration: 6:00.

Well, that's just not happening.

The show can't end this early.

This is going to be one of those shows where I seem to be at odds with a lot of people

I know.

Alright, here We Go.

Yeah I'm not wearing my jacket today, because if you didn't notice it's a freaking scorcher house outside.

and I'm surrounded by hot lights, yeah it's just really warm. In here. So, coat's on a rack.

It'll come back eventually.

Welcome to Angels of Death, the anime based

off of the RPG Maker video game released by Hoshikuzu KRNKRN and it's exactly what I

feared it wouldn't be.

At least at first glance.

The story starts out with a young girl named Rachel, who's brought to a hospital for

counselling, but wakes up in a seemingly abandoned building.

Not much is known about how or why she got there, especially because she seems to be

suffering from amnesia.

#PlotConvience.

Not only does she not remember how she got into this predicament, but even when she seems

to remember things at the end of the first episode….she doesn't appear to care.

This leads to the scene I showed at the top of the video.

I mostly have a problem with this because while I rather like a variety of versions

of this emotionless doll architype that she is, I'm not sure that I'm really sold

on one whose sole desire is death.

What's worse is that I question this desire heavily.

But we'll get back to that.

So she meets up with this guy with a scythe named Zack because she infringed on his supposed

territory, one particular floor in this weird Zero Escape-esque building.

He fails to kill her initially when she's still without her memory, but he eventually

catches up to her while she's being molested by another one of the building's patrons.

In a very psychopathic-like fashion though, he loses his desire to actually murder her

when that apparently is exactly what she wants.

So he makes her a deal.

They work together and attempt to escape the building that they are trapped in.

Once they make it out, THEN he will kill her, and she agrees to these terms.

But this is where I question her commitment, because if death is really what she wants,

there are a myriad of ways for her to get that, quite quickly.

Also, if any part of the narrative becomes exceedingly dangerous for her, well who's

to say she can't just back out of the deal?

This lends credence to a theory that Rachel doesn't actually want to die but is just

manipulating Zack to help her escape.

Or maybe it's not that she wants to die or not, she might not honestly care, but hey

if she can get out then bonus!

The story seems to be relying heavily on this aura of mystery surrounding the two protagonists

and their situation.

We don't know Rachel's motivations or true desires and while most of Zack is like

an open book, there still remains the question of who he is and how he got here.

This is what seems to keep most people invested, plus of course the biggest question of all,

where is "here"?

The building seems like this sectioned off place in reality, a location that doesn't

actually exist except to fulfil someone's twisted idea of the world's largest and

deadliest escape room.

Now again, this is based off a game and, as a game, it probably has some far more interesting

mechanics to have it all make sense. That just didn't translate into the anime all that well.

Hell, just telling the player that it's in their best interest to stick it out so that they can see the ending makes

more sense than the narrative reasoning of Rachel's not breaking her arrangement with

Zack because she's a good person who keeps promises despite them being completely opposite

of her stated desires.

Really there is a lot here that's just not making me all that interested.

After several episodes, I keep asking the question of, "WHY?"

quite a bit…mostly, "Why should I care?"

Like I have no doubt that fans of the game, who know the context of the situation already,

will enjoy this.

Unless they think it's a poor adaptation, but that's entirely a different thing.

Those people will tell me that I'm bailing far too early, and they might be right!

But a psycho with a scythe and a girl who wants to die but maybe not really?

Yeah, this just isn't my thing.

For this season, after a few episodes, I give Angels of Death a pass.

Though I fully understand that I'm in the minority!

In fact I don't think I've talked to someone yet who has watched the show who doesn't

seem to get far more enjoyment out of it than myself.

So even if it's not my thing that's not to say that you might not find enjoyment here,

but I just don't have a desire to watch too much more.

Maybe I'll change my mind down the road, but for now, I'm moving on.

Sorry fans.

Currently, it's available for legal streaming over on Crunchyroll and the original game

can be purchased over on Steam, which might be the better way to experience the story.

I'll put the necessary links and coupon codes into the description for your convenience.

Thank for joining me on this First Reaction.

Let me know down in the comments what you have been following this season.

And thank you to my patrons, who make these videos possible.

Until next time, WATCH MORE ANIME!

And stay frosty everyone.

Later.

California Is Burning Down And Trump Blames It On Environmental Laws - Duration: 3:39.

In case you weren't aware, the state of California right now is currently being ravaged by wildfires.

There are fires across the state.

Seven people so far, as of right this second, have lost their lives.

Buildings, homes have been destroyed.

Countless miles, square miles of forest have been destroyed.

And the President of the United States blames the whole damn thing on environmental loss.

This is what Donald Trump tweeted out on Sunday with regards to those wildfires in California.

"California wildfires are being magnified and made so much worse by the bad environmental

laws, which aren't allowing massive amount amount of readily available water to be properly

utilized.

It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean.

Must also tree clear to stop fire spreading."

So Donald Trump, instead of saying it's being made so much worse by, I don't know, climate

change, which is what all of the scientists are out there telling us right now, he says

it's because California's wasting water by letting it just go into the Pacific Ocean.

Now let's not forget that the state of California's actually still currently ina drought.

They never really got out of the massive drought that they were in many years ago were that

started many years ago.

It just eased up a bit for a while.

No, there's not enough water to go around to just be squirting it all over these fires,

that's why they got out of control.

There's no environmental laws preventing fire fighters from doing their jobs.

And most importantly, the answer isn't to just cut down more trees.

I mean, the logic there is, "Well you can't have a forest fire if you don't have a forest."

No.

That's not how this works.

You are the dumbest human being that has ever served in the Oval Office.

The reason we're having these wildfires, and we had some in Colorado about a week and a

half ago that nobody even talked about, is because of climate change.

Can we stop, can we just stop for a minute listening to idiot politicians about weather

phenomenon, about climate, and things like that and maybe instead focus on what the scientists

are telling us?

People like Michael Mann, who is out there every day trying to help educate the public

about what is happening in the world, what is happening to our country, what is happening

to this planet?

Can we put a little more faith in them, and their words, and their studies, and their

reports, and their works than we do these brainless politicians who are saying, "No,

it's because the environmental laws making al the water going into the Pacific Ocean."

That's not what's happening.

But it also shows us another thing, it shows us that Donald Trump, even after all the catastrophes

of 2017 still doesn't know how to respond to any kind of natural disaster when human

beings, American citizens, are losing their lives.

He is unfit to be president of the United States based on his responses to these disasters

alone.

You don't even have to look for the 25th amendment or into any of the investigations.

You want proof that Donald Trump is an illegitimate, unfit president?

Just look at how he's responded any time these climate related events have happened and American

citizens have lost their lives.

Oops, Britney Did It Again: The Pop Princess Forgets Where She Is at Brighton Pride | Billboard News - Duration: 1:27.

When you're a pop superstar as successful as Britney Spears, it's easy to get confused

about where you are at any given moment. And that's what happened to the pop queen

at Brighton Pride in Preston Park in Brighton, England this weekend.

What a legend! Brit was there to wow legions of her LGBTQ fans with the tour

of her Las Vegas show Piece of Me.

But as the singer prepped to take the show throughout the whole United Kingdom,

she temporarily forgot where she was while onstage at the event...

and had to ask her backup dancer, Willie.

Fans have been having fun with the moment on Twitter. Katherine posted:

Another fan on Twitter suspects Britney might even get lost in her own house yelling,

You can find more fans' reactions on Billboard.com. And I would love to know your thoughts,

so let us know your take in the comments. Until next time,

Trump Is Right That Corporate Media Sucks, He's Just Wrong About Why - Duration: 4:26.

Donald Trump's attacks on the media are absolutely dangerous.

This past weekend, he decided to attack Don Lemon on CNN who had an interview with Lebron

James, who as most people know has started his own school that's going to give all kinds

of stuff.

He's going to guarantee them college scholarships, full rides if they graduate, top of the line

computers, brand new books.

He's going to offer counseling and whatever family's need to the students who are there.

Basically doing what most rich people in this country dare not think of, which is helping

the less fortunate.

Donald Trump has a problem with what.

Don Lemon on CNN interviewed him, so Trump attacked Lemon on Twitter as a low IQ individual.

Somebody who's not very smart, which is a typical attack that Donald Trump launches

against African-Africans.

Later on in the day, a caller on C-SPAN, inspired by Donald Trump, said that he was going to

murder Don Lemon.

Now the reason I bring that up is because yes, Donald Trump's tweets about the media

are dangerous.

They're disingenuous and it's going to end up getting more people killed because yeah,

people have already been killed inspired by Donald Trump's hatred and violent talk against

the media.

Here's the part that is not so clear.

It's not as cut and dry because the corporate media sucks, right?

I think that's something that most people in this country probably should agree on.

Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, they are all awful.

Does that mean that every word spoken on those networks as Trump claims is fake news?

No, unless of course you're talking about Fox, but MSNBC and CNN, they actually do a

pretty good job reporting the politics of the day, but that's where it ends.

Whenever they get into the realm of foreign policy, there is no difference between CNN

or Fox News.

They really want the same thing and that is war.

Trump actually tweeted something to that effect this weekend.

Here's his tweet, "The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People

only because they know it's true.

I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People.

They purposely cause great division & distrust.

They can also cause War!

They are very dangerous & sick!"

All right.

Everything in that tweet with the exception of the sentence that they can also cause war

is an absolute lie.

Trump hates the media because they dare call him out, because he can't bully them into

submission because they are willing to stand up to him in terms of his corruption.

That's why he hates them.

If he wanted to, if he had any intelligence, he would hate them because anytime they get

the opportunity, they will beat those drums for war.

CNN was the biggest cheerleader in the United States for the Iraq war.

They wanted that thing to happen more than even the people in the Bush administration.

They didn't cause it though, contrary to what Trump says, but they damn sure made most people

in this country support it.

Here's the thing, they're not talking about climate change.

Chris Hayes admitted that a couple weeks ago on Twitter because it's a rating's killer.

They're not talking about these massive wildfires out in California or at least not in the way

that they need to be covered.

Rachel Maddow basically does nothing other than talk about Russia, which yeah, it's important,

but there are still other stories happening every single day.

These media howletts are not telling you about it.

They're not telling you about all of the judges that Trump is packing the court with or the

dangerous drugs that the FDA let slide through.

There is a massive trial going on right now in California over Monsanto's Roundup causing

cancer.

How many corporate media stories have you seen on that?

How many corporate media stories have you seen on the opioid crisis, huh?

So yes, the corporate media sucks, but not for the reason that Trump says that they suck

because they're actually pretty good when it comes to covering him.

But when it comes to covering literally anything else, there is no distinguishing between those

three major cable news networks because they are all equally as bad.

How Martial Arts, BJJ and MMA get Twisted • Martial Arts Journey - Duration: 7:54.

When you take a look at some martial arts - while their choreography may look amazing,

for a person who has done functional combat sports, or someone who understands the reality

of self defense - sometimes the question of what do these practitioners expect from their

elaborate movements, may come up.

While it may take years to master these beautiful looking techniques, an experienced fighter

knows, that most of them are not applicable in a real life fighting situation, yet often

enough, masters of these complex martial arts believe that they are actually capable of

fighting, and they bathe in glory of their organization and many students.

While observing all of this we are often left to ask - how do things in these martial arts

get so twisted?

And do these martial arts masters actually believe the effectiveness of their abilities?

Hi, my name is Rokas, and in this Martial Arts Journey video we will take a look at

how martial arts and combat sports get twisted.

While I was a student of Aikido I always had a doubt if it would work in a self defense

situation.

When I would express that doubt to my instructor, he would become upset about me having a lack

of faith, and he would tell that I simply need to train more, and that Aikido takes

years of practice until it becomes effective as a form of self defense.

This was also what I read online in the Aikido community, when I was seeking answers about

the same question.

I became obsessed about training, doing extra training all the time, and asking my training

friends to strike harder, and did my techniques as hard as I could.

Yet we were still doing basically the same static techniques, just with more energy,

and I continued to believe that all I need, is just more techniques, to know all possible

defenses against all possible attacks, and since I did not know all of them, my doubts

were justified.

Wanting to remove the doubt, I decided to add a more fighting oriented art into my training

regime, and thus I started practicing Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Yet while I was able to pick up the complex movements quick enough, because of learning

all the complex movements in my Aikido training, and I trained very intensively - the doubt

stayed.

When asking my instructor about this doubt, I was told pretty much the same as what my

Aikido instructor told me - just train harder, question less and one day you will get there.

That when I will be attacked in the street, if I have trained enough, I will be able to

use it all.

Yet while I was attacked more than once in the street during that time, even after 3

years of dedicated training, my techniques did not kick in, and I ended up just randomly

punching the attackers to defend myself, and then ran away.

All these complex techniques that I learned never showed up in a self defense situation.

Years passed, and I devoted even more years to training Aikido.

I even became a full time live-in student in an Aikido Dojo, with a high ranking instructor,

where I spent three years doing intensive training.

While there I was told, that I should invest into spontaneity, and not expect too much

out of static techniques, still there was no pressure testing and high resistance training.

When addressing my doubts, I was just told to believe that if one day I will be attacked,

my training will naturally kick in.

The doubt never went away still, but with time I learned to push that doubt away, and

eventually I made myself believe that I reached that point of training, where now I know how

to defend myself, and if the occasion happens where I will need these skills, they will

appear naturally.

As years passed I was not confronted by a situation where I would have to test that

theory, and I ended up opening my full time Aikido Dojo.

While self defense was never the most important part of my teaching, I believed that I knew

enough about what self defense is, and that I was capable of teaching it.

After all, I was a second degree Aikido black belt who spent years of intensive training

in martial arts.

I learned many excuses along the way, such as: "Well, there is not a big chance you

will get attacked anyway", and the good old: "Just train this way long enough, and

these skills will kick in naturally when you will need them.".

I learned to pass on the same justifications that I used for myself - as knowledge, and

when I was asked to, I even taught a women's self defense seminar based on these untested

skills that I took over.

Me being the head of a Dojo, a black belt who has been training in martial arts for

many years, my students rarely questioned me, and I did not feel that I could question

my instructor for the same reasons myself.

After all, he trained for even more years than I did, with some of the most famous martial

arts instructors out there.

If he says it's effective self defense - it has to be.

Luckily enough, my mind was interested enough in truth to eventually start questioning,

and a few years later being exposed to brazilian jiu jitsu helped as well to realize I was

looking at the wrong places.

Yet I know from experience how easy it would had been for me to stay in this nutshell of

believing that I know the answers.

People believed me, and that should had made me right, yes?

Even if somebody disagreed with me and saw through my plot holes, I could have easily

given them one of the elaborate justifications that I collected through many years of searching

for them, in order to silence the doubts.

Luckily enough, I didn't…

Yet I know how easy and comfortable it would had been to do it.

Now I am sharing with you this story to present a personal experience and example of how easy

it is to twist your understanding of martial arts and self defense, even after devoting

dedicated years into it.

While watching a martial arts master presenting a demonstration of complex techniques, or

explaining his misguided understanding of fighting or self defense to others, for a

person who really understands what these realms are about, sometimes it may be difficult to

comprehend whether this master believes his own tale, or if he does it for business purposes,

to convince people to pay for his teaching.

From my experience and observations of spending a decade in the traditional martial arts world,

almost being in that situation myself, I tend to believe that most of these cases are based

on an elaborate, from generation to generation passed on justification system, where a master

ends up believing it, because at the beginning there is nothing else for him to choose from,

than believing his own master and his tales, given the authority, and after years of dedication

to the practice, it would simply cause too much discomfort for the now 'master' to

admit to himself and others, that what he invested so many years into, is not really

what he thought is.

As human beings we are creatures of comfort.

We will sometimes end up going incredible lengths to justify something, instead of facing

the truth.

While in the long run it would be more beneficial to us to face the truth, it would cause great

discomfort to us in the present moment, and thus we avoid it with everything we've got.

Now, not to say that this attitude applies only to traditional martial arts.

More and more often the question of whether focusing entirely on the sports aspect of

brazilian jiu jitsu is not hurting the self defense aspect of it, is raised by some of

it's high ranking practitioners, including such legendary figures as Rickson Gracie.

Many MMA practitioners firmly believe that practicing just it, entirely takes care of

their self defense knowledge, forgetting to address such questions as multiple attackers,

weapons and prevention.

And while personally I've experienced much more clear headedness and honesty in the combat

sports realm, it is not to say that it's entirely safe from at least a degree of delusion,

that is often common in traditional martial arts.

When considering all this, it is important to take a step back and to double check ourselves.

To review our strong beliefs, and everything we say to ourselves and to our students, and

to check why we are so sure about what we say to ourselves and others.

It is so easy to adopt the thoughts of others as truths, just because they were told to

us by authority.

It is so easy to believe an answer, just because it is comfortable to us and it fits our current

beliefs.

But when we are talking about something as sensitive as self defense, we carry a huge

responsibility to both ourselves and others in terms of safety, and sometimes even matters

of life and death.

If we do not critically consider all of our beliefs and thoughts, we may end up doing

someone a big, and even dangerous disfavor.

And even if we put life and death matters aside, having a lack of critical and honest

thinking may dramatically limit our personal growth and actual abilities.

It is important to respect and admit that some martial arts masters devoted years of

sweat and training to develop the beautiful looking, choreographed movements and skills

that they possess.

All the energy and dedication they've spent to reach their level of achievements should

not be taken lightly and disregarded, even if it does not entirely fit with truth.

It may still represent their discipline in seeking their goals, even if in the wrong

places.

Yet that being said, we also have to understand the importance of what effect we have upon

our lives, and the lives of others, by not questioning ourselves and our authorities,

and even if the truth is uncomfortable, we must come to face it sooner than later, until

it faces us.

So before I end, I leave you with a question.

Do you relate and identify yourself in the story that I've told?

And did you come to the moment of questioning - your own journey?

Thank you for watching the video.

I hope you've found some important points to ponder in your martial arts journey as

you watched it.

How reliable is fingerprint analysis? - Duration: 5:50.

A heinous crime has been committed at Vox.

Somebody keeps drinking the single source Ethiopian yirgacheffe coffee I bring to the

office for myself.

I rounded up five suspects from around the office and fingerprinted them

to see if I could find a match from a print I found on my mug.

Is fingerprint analysis reliable enough to pin somebody to this unspeakable crime, and

more importantly ... uhhhh ... how do you actually do this?

To help me figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do I brought in an expert.

My name is Peter Valentin.

I'm an expert in crime scene reconstruction and forensic science.

A fingerprint is probably the most important piece of information when we don't have a

known connection between the victim and the offender.

We have to find something that people leave at scenes relatively easily and something

that is unique enough that finding it and identifying what it is will lead us back to

the person.

In order to find a fingerprint investigators will either use a physical component like

a powder–

So not cocoa powder?

Cool cool cool.

Or a series of chemicals that make a print visible on a surface.

Our fingerprints have ridges and furrows that align to create unique, recognizable patterns.

There is a what's called a loop right here, you have ridges that are coming into the pattern

and then coming back out.

Here's another loop right here.

There's arches,

and there's whorls and those those three categories alone comprise at least 95 percent of the

fingerprints that are in the database.

Everyone's fingerprints have unique features that differentiate them from everyone else's.

For instance this ridge splits into two here and this ridge has a break in it.

These patterns remain the same throughout a person's lifetime, which makes them a

powerful identification tool.

My fingerprint is pretty easy to spot.

The pattern looks like a 1998 Chrysler Sebring.

Investigators rely on the characteristics of a print to find a match using a method

called ACE-V.

First they analyze the print and the surface it's on to see if it's viable for examination.

This one's great.

This one, not so much.

Then, they take the suitable print and compare it against known fingerprints looking for

points of similarities and differences.

For example both these patterns are whorls and bifurcate right here.

Investigators look at these traits and try to gauge if there's enough points of comparison

to declare it a match.

Finally, a qualified peer reviews their conclusion to verify the match.

After using high tech software to analyze the prints from my mug – I'm kidding this

is just some stock footage I downloaded.

I think I finally found a match.

But, ok, even when it's done by professionals... how reliable is fingerprint analysis?

It's a useful tool that obviously has value, but I think it's problematic to overstate

its value especially in a criminal justice context.

One accuracy study found that examiners made false positive identifications in .1% of cases.

Which means identifying a print as a match when it's not.

That doesn't sound too bad... unless you happen to be one of those false positives.

Brandon Mayfield, a lawyer from Oregon, was one of those unlucky few.

He was falsely accused of the 2004 Madrid train bombing because the FBI made a false

positive match with a partial print found at the scene.

Mayfield seemed like a good suspect to investigators because he had recently converted to Islam

and was the lawyer for a man who attempted to join the Taliban, which in the wake of

9/11 were all red flags for the FBI.

There was a bias that existed because once they tentatively identified the unknown fingerprint

as belonging to this individual who he was and what his background was made the identification

seem stronger than it actually was.

He didn't have a valid passport.

So it's a little implausible on the face of it that he was handling a bag of detonators

in Spain.

Fingerprinting was so powerful that it just sort of it trumped everything else.

Mayfield was even given his own analyst who examined the prints, and even they agreed

that it was a match.

That's an interesting thing about bias because, you know, everybody's assumption

is that the experts are biased toward the side that they're working for.

Here was a guy who was working for Mayfield and yet he corroborated the evidence against

him which turned out to be incorrect.

The FBI released a 330-page report about where their analysts went wrong, and it's pretty

much a case study in a lot of the potential downfalls of fingerprinting.

They cited things such as,

ignoring differences between the prints, lack of independent verification, the pressure

of working on a high profile terrorism investigation, and letting bias about the suspect affect

their analysis.

Their report summed it up by saying "in any human endeavor, there is a potential for

error."

You know I would suggest learning from history and realizing that none of these things are

going to be error free.

So there's going to be mistakes and errors and screw ups.

But also evidence is inherently probabilistic.

So even though it's not a perfect tool, until a more reliable technology emerges,

law enforcement will continue to utilize fingerprint analysis.

And I won't ever be fully certain of who stole my coffee.

Until I catch him on this new surveillance camera that I installed.

Dessert Pizza: How Much Is Too Much? || Really Dough? - Duration: 9:11.

(angelic singing)

- [Scott] How often do you eat this thing?

- Never, I just lick my finger when I make it.

- My name is Scott.

I live and breathe pizza.

But Mark is a pizza purist.

- This is not pizza. (buzzer)

It's not pizza. (buzzer)

I'm about to kick you out.

- I'm trying to bring him the craziest pizzas I can find.

They all claim to be pizza, together we'll settle,

are they they "Really Dough?"

How often do you get flowers, 'cause this is like,

you don't have seating back here.

- No, I do in the summer time.

- You do?

- That's what I was trying to do.

Get this ready for summer.

- Dude it's not, the weather's disgusting.

- I don't think it's happening today.

- Are you doing any different pies for the summer?

- No, pretty much keep it the same thing.

- Yeah, you ever think about switching up,

do a little tiramisu, cheesecake, like some kind of dessert?

- No dessert.

Pizza and calzone, leave me alone.

(dramatic music)

- I mean every time I eat pizza

I need to follow it up with something sweet.

- Yeah, actually there's a place in the city in Gnocco.

- Yeah, I know Gnocco, in the East Village.

- Yes, it's actually one of the places

I went to right before I opened.

I wanted to check out their ovens.

And I happened to have a chocolate pizza there.

- Like dessert on a pizza thing?

- Yes.

- I've had — so I've had that. To me it's not a pizza

because it's just stuff on a dough, on a crust.

- How 'bout this?

Why don't you just run and grab one?

And we'll figure it out.

- Why not?

By the time I get back you better be hungry.

- Yep.

- The sweets.

(upbeat music)

I'm really excited to test Mark's limits

with a dessert pizza.

So I'm gonna get one of my favorite ones

in the East Village at a place called Gnocco.

Hey, Federico.

- Yo, what's up, Scott?

How are you?

- I'm doing alright.

I came by to grab a dessert pizza.

I wanna like bring one to Mark in Brooklyn

and figure out if it's a pizza or not a pizza.

- Alright, let me finish this

and we good to go, my friend.

Let's go.

- Sounds good.

You just leaving that - Oh man.

- for somebody else?

So I took my seat on the patio

and pondered my pizza predicament.

I know by now that Mark is a stickler.

- A pizza should look better than it tastes.

Sauce, cheese, and dough.

Make it really good, no exceptions.

- But what's not to like about chocolate pizza?

(upbeat music)

- Alright, it's gonna be three, it's gonna be two,

it's gonna one, let's go guys.

So we get the dough, a couple of slaps

and nice round sugar, now we stick it in,

very high flame.

Now we start counting.

Three, two, one.

Here we go, this is what you having.

Two big spoon of chocolate spread.

I put it little bit too much.

Don't tell my boss.

How 'bout some ricotta.

Alright.

It's little bit of strawberries,

blueberries, blackberries, red berries.

Anything you guys have.

More sugar.

Hazelnuts, pignoli nuts.

- Oh boy.

- Yeah, Scott, this is our dessert pizza.

Enjoy my friend.

- I will, well you gotta eat it with me.

- Absolutely not.

- What are you talking about?

- I don't eat desserts.

- Oh, snap.

You did not just say that.

- Yes.

- Alight fair enough.

Alright, I want to eat this.

- OK.

Please let's go it.

- Yeah.

I want to get the right one.

Ah, that one's gonna fall apart.

Use that hand.

I'm looking at it and just staring into its eyes

and just like whoa.

Can I kinda fold it?

Can you fold it?

Is that part of the definition?

Oh just ooze.

(laughing)

Without a doubt we've got a crust.

Instead of a sauce its got this hazelnut chocolate spread

and then we do literally do have cheese on this

with the ricotta cheese directly on top.

And then a counterpoint with some fruit, controversial.

And some nuts, also controversial.

But I feel like controversy tastes delicious so why not?

You gonna join me with this?

- Oh, it's not really my favorite.

- It tastes like garbage.

- Oh, I got the bigger one.

- You got the crunchy one.

You did get the bigger one.

- Oh, man.

Great.

- It's OK.

- Mm.

Oh bro, it's too sweet.

- Wuss. Come on man.

- I'm not dessert person.

Oh, sweet wine.

Whew!

- [Scott] OK, why is this a pizza?

- [Federico] Because it has the same dough of the pizza.

- I've had your sandwiches here with the pizza dough.

- They're fantastic.

- Yeah, they're not a pizza right?

- No, they sandwich.

- OK, thank you.

- We have cheese like ricotta.

We have a spread like tomato sauce, we use Nutella.

- [Scott] That's your sauce?

- Yes.

- The vast majority of the flavor

is coming from what's on top of the crust.

- Absolutely.

- And not the crust itself.

- [Federico] Absolutely, on this pizza, absolutely.

- You may as well spread that stuff on a napkin

and call it a day.

- It's gonna be fantastic.

- Is that all you need for something to be a pizza?

- This is New York 2018

and we need to just give something different to the people.

I think with pizza going through new situation.

- It doesn't read to my palate as pizza.

Because I'm used to pizza being this warm thing

with ingredients that have been cooked on top of it.

So to me this is straight dessert.

And I love it.

I love eating it.

- Because for me, tomato and cheese on the pizza dough.

- That's your definition of pizza?

- [Federico] Oh yeah. - Tomato and cheese?

- Yes, I mean that's how we were born

and raised in Italy, you know what I mean?

- Sauce, cheese, and dough, no exceptions.

- For you, for Federico, is this a pizza?

- This is just a dessert, you know what I mean?

- Definitely people are gonna look at this

and it's gonna say pizza to them.

To me it's a little bit on the edge.

Sure, oh.

We all know what really matters

and that's what Mark Iacono thinks

so we gotta get one of these and bring it to Brooklyn.

And find out for real.

- The question is that, does he have a good dentist

to eat all this Nutella?

(upbeat music)

- Alright Mark, put the cheese down man.

I got the dessert pizza.

- [Mark] Mm, that's the chocolate pizza.

- Initial impressions though before I slice into it?

- Where's your cutter?

- You're already ready man.

- Yes.

- [Scott] I'm gonna give you the big slice again.

- [Mark] You need to work on your geometry.

- Dude, pick your poison.

- I'm goin' with.

- I see mine already.

I love it.

You and I don't go for the same slice ever.

I love it.

You're thinking you're still hungry.

Oh, you're loving it.

So what do you like about it?

- What's not to like about it?

It's chocolate, it's strawberries, it's nuts.

- But the strawberries make it any less of a pizza?

- Yes.

- Would you put strawberries on a pizza?

- On a dessert pizza.

- Is there an element of this

that's acting like a cheese to you?

Or an element of this that's acting like a sauce?

- [Mark] No.

- So you don't get pizza out of this.

- Mm mn.

- So you're confirmed.

This is not a pizza to you.

- Yes, it's a dessert pizza.

- But you just said this is not a pizza.

- No, it's a dessert pizza.

- OK, so give me definitively, pizza or not pizza.

- It's not a pizza.

(dramatic music)

It's dessert pizza.

- What do we have to do to this to make it a pizza?

- Get rid of the chocolate sauce, the strawberries,

the nuts and put tomato sauce.

- There are recipes from like the 16th century

that use the word pizza to describe desserts.

They describe flattened doughs that are sweetened doughs

and it seems like that predates a savory pizza.

That doesn't sway you at all toward this being pizza.

- Well this is a pizza dessert.

- A dessert pizza or a pizza dessert?

- Dessert pizza, pizza dessert.

- Same thing?

- I'm about to kick you out.

(laughing)

- The decision is in.

The dessert pizza from Gnocco is absolutely delicious,

but it's technically not a pizza.

- It's a dessert pizza.

- It's a dessert pizza, there you go.

You can check this thing out for yourself

at Gnocco in the East Village.

Thanks so much for watching Thrillist,

check us out next time on "Really Dough?"

- Cheers.

- I'm making a mess, but I'm loving it.

- It's really really good.

- Honestly, it is good.

- I like what they did with the strawberries.

- I gotta say, my favorite part of this is the nuts.

- You are a little nutty.

- I'm here for the money.

- Scott, let's finish this.

- Right here, right now.

- Let's settle this bull (bleep) one time.
