I’m sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn’t think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I’ve just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don’t know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

    I had a lot of conversations with my dad about how glorifying people is setting yourself up for failure when there were loads of protests were going on about bringing down statues of famously racist people who did like a handful of notable things i.e. most of the U.S. founding fathers.

    I wouldn’t suggest keeping a list of names that you admire. Maybe keep a list of things about those names that you admire

      You’re saying someone that calls themselves bomber guy is cool?

      I mean hey a name is just a name, it’s just uh, not a good first impression 😐

      I like Adam Savage. I watch Adam Savage. However, be careful putting anyone on a pedestal. The claims were settled out of court which doesn’t mean anything either way. And I think all of us feeling like we have more familiarity with Adam himself would definitely rather side with him and his version of things. But that’s just bias at this point.

      Adam is most definitely a fascinating guy with a varied and interesting work experience. We can all safely say that for sure. And has overtime become a great presenter with a lot of wisdom to share. And that’s probably where we should keep it. 🙂

      Seems unnecessary to list women just because they are women.

          I don’t see what’s edgy about that. You should include people in that list for who they are and what they do. Not because of their gender.

          If you think of women who you would put on that list then suggest them. OP asked for that. Be the change you want to see.

            You seem a bit troll-y too but I’ll bite.

            The only one suggesting to add women because they are women is the edgy beb. The change I want to see is edgies being made to feel small. I have achieved based on their anemic come back :)

            The person starting this thread wants to see the world you’re suggesting I create. And in doing so has opened a whole new class of YouTuber for our dear OP to explore…the analogy about fish, fishing and teachers come to mind

        Okay, if I… if I chop you up in a meat grinder, and the only thing that comes out, that’s left of you, is your eyeball, you’r- you’re PROBABLY DEAD! You’re probably going to - not you, I’m just sayin’, like, if you- if somebody were to, like, push you into a meat grinder, and, like, your- one of your finger bones is still intact, they’re not gonna pick it up and go, “Well see, yeah it wasn’t deadly, it wasn’t an instant kill move! You still got, like, this part of your finger left!” NO I’M NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO A MEAT GRINDER. I’M NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO A MEAT GRINDER. NO. I’m making a reference to the fact that, like, if I, like, if I were to get fucking KILLED… I don’t know, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYIN’. If- if- okay, if you were to- okay we’re gonna take humans out of this, if alien Globgobglobgo 1 fuckin’ shoots a disintegrating ray at alien Globglo 2, if there’s only fucking TEETH LEFT, it’s- it’s fucking you’re dead, you’re dead.

        “If I were to put you in a meat grinder,” goddamnit, it’s so fucked up! You understand what I’m sayin’ though, I’m not actually saying that I’m going to put somebody in a meat grinder, goddamnit. Whatever.

    Brennan Lee Mulligan and, by extension, Sam Reich.

    edit: to be fair, a lot of the Dropout cast seem like pretty great human beings as well (Emily Axford comes to mind, plus she frequently played opposite Adam Conover in the series Adam Ruins Everything which is both entertaining and horrible)

      +1 to anyone on the Dropout team.

      Semi related, but Rehka’s new PowerPoint show is amazing.
