Vimeo bans game play footage as not "Creative Expression" (Art Talk Post)

dag (http://dag.videosift.com) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:14:26 -0700

Vimeo is my preferred host - don't know why they would make this kind of decision though. Maybe they are trying to be artsy-fartsy or it could be that their bandwidth bill is biting, so they want to set the quality bar a bit higher.

Having almost been a chyron operator... fat fingered the title.

The worst is CC'ing during big events. During Gulf War II one guy was really losing it with the crews that were deploying the cruise missles. Got it wrong every time. I could almost hear him cursing.

5 Steps To Get An Idiot To Eat 7 Black Widow Spiders...

Only baby black widows are actually poisonous. Poisonous, meaning when eaten - as opposed to venomous.

RFID Chip and National ID Cards

spoco2 (http://shortfilms.videosift.com/member/spoco2) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:01:31 -0700

I'm giving this a big thumbs down:
* Ridiculously gratuitous thumbnail image with NOTHING to do with content
* Horrible 666 placards all through it that SCREAM juvenile mindset
* Rambling narrative
* Not really backed up by any evidence other than heresay and statements from people.

A big fat waste of time.

I'm not saying there isn't cause for concern in anything like this, but these sorts of tinfoil hat wearing vids do more harm than good to any reasonable discussion.

Federal Income Tax And What You Get Back From It!

NetRunner (http://shortfilms.videosift.com/member/NetRunner) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:56:58 -0700

Yes, I want freedom from the USDA -- I want my $1 cheesburger to be filled with hormones, rat feces, and mad cow disease.

Yes, I want freedom from OSHA, because I want all safety to be viewed through the lens of cost-effectiveness, with the value of human life set by the free market.

Yes, I want freedom from corporate taxes, because I can fully expect companies to pass those savings on to me, every penny of it!

Yes, I want freedom from the EPA, because clean air is for pussies.

After all, who needs safe food, safe medicine, a safe work environment, and clean air, when you might get almost a 60% raise, because surely that will pay your healthcare costs when the unregulated insurance market cancels your policy for eating a burger at McDonalds, or breathing the air in any metro area.

This is lunacy, always has been, and always will be.

People who don't believe in government shouldn't ever ask people to put them in charge of it.

Universal Health Care? Illegal aliens get it, why not us?

blankfist (http://blankfist.videosift.com) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:44:12 -0700

*promote. I have a lot of Liberal friends (from Dems to Anarchists), and the general consensus for their beef (especially with Anarchists!) with the "Securing of borders" tends to come from their detest of Capitalism. I always thought it had more to do with racism, because no one seemed to give two shits if Canadians were over here, only Mexicans. But, the more I speak with friends it seems they just want to fight the Capitalist "man".

My friends dislike the idea of private property. The stauncher of the Liberals think every person deserves the right to ALL property without it being divided. In other words, your property line is the same to them as the borders: they shouldn't exist. You're probably asking, "But, genius of geniuses blankfist, how does this have anything to do with Capitalism?" It has everything to do with the few and rich being able to purchase more land (more money = more land) than those with less money, therefore the Capitalist system affords them more entitlement and power. There's also the argument of Capitalists using debt to create a form of indentured servitude with workers. It all comes back to social and worker's rights versus the rights of the individual and entrepreneur. That's why you hear so many arguments being made that this country was "built on the backs of cheap Mexican labor." Labor being the operative word here, as if to denote that Capitalists are abusing them somehow. I don't mean to pick on you, Dag.

I know this is heavily generalized here, but to say "they're illegal and need to be sent back" pisses off people who do not think in terms of individual right to property. This is just my opinion on the matter, so I could be completely off base here.

Maggot in head

Finally a video version of "Jerry's Maggot", my favorite chapter in a book called Tropical Biology. Jerry let it grow until it came out on its own...
