YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him

People only see this with the context that this is a youtuber doing a prank.

This man is 6 fucking 5. Imagine a random giant gets in your face, you think you're about to be robbed or beaten. He advances. You retreat. He advances. You retreat, he advanced. Again, you retreat, he advances, all the while shoving something in your face. How many times do you need to tell someone to disengage and retreat before its okay to consider it a threat?

Just because this guy happened to be a youtuber doing a prank is irrelevant, imo.

Madison on why she quit

That's usually how these things work. People see others speaking out against someone, and that gives them the courage that they'll be heard.

It also helps that the current news only does to back up her claims and increase the perceived validity.

What are your programming hot takes?

If you don't add comments, even rudimentary ones, or you don't use a naming convention that accurately describes the variables or the functions, you're a bad programmer. It doesn't matter if you know what it does now, just wait until you need to know what it does in 6 months and you have to stop what you're doing an decipher it.

It's a risk worth taking.

Interestingly, the states rights debate is true, wholly.

The north wanted to keep the right to acknowledge escaped slaves as free, and the south kept sending people up there to kidnap free men and women. They were even known to kidnap free born black people and sell them into slavery.

The south also wanted to charge the north for this "service".

When people talk about states rights, remind them that the south was heavily infringing on the rights of the northern states.
