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

Reply in thread

Why do I feel more sympathy for the shooter then? Let me explain myself. I don't condone his actions, but here's the thing.. You have no idea what a stranger is going through in their life. No idea what trauma lies in their past. Going up to strangers and trying to provoke them could yield wildly different responses from person to person, and in the world we live in that could easily involve anger. Some people are barely holding it together and all they need is a jarring incident like this to make them snap. The shooter didn't provoke this situation. Yes he reacted poorly, but the entire thing would have been avoided if the brain dead YouTuber wasn't going around trying to elicit a response for clicks.

I've got three cats. All males. I like cats because they are fairly low maintenance with a high cuddle return. Especially with an auto feeder. All I have to do is scoop the litter box once a day and I get to pet them when they feel like coming and sitting with me. Watching them interact with each other is entertaining and occasionally will melt your heart with how sweet they are to each other. Here's a pic of them sitting with me while I play video games.

If I don't come into the kitchen when he cries, he'll come sit like this.

Oh he always does. He gets wet food because he's got bad teeth (something called stomatitis) where he's allergic to his own tooth enamel. We are half way through having his teeth removed. Vet couldn't do them all in one session because some are still very well seated and he'd have to be under sedation too long. It sucks big time but he's a really good boy and has been a trooper through all the vet visits. is a pic from when I was ignoring him a few minutes before.

YouTuber "bald and bankrupt" crosses the world's deadliest jungle: The Darien Gap

I don't know who this guy is but don't beat yourself up about it. There are so many YouTubers with decent content but problematic personalities/tendencies. It would be a full time job just to keep up with who is actually a dirtbag in disguise. Obviously we shouldn't be supporting these creators once we find out they suck, but you shouldn't be expected to research the creator of every video you find interesting.

Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might pay

I'm in the same boat as you with the Arlo cameras. I've got the Pro (4030) cameras. I read an article that said they kinda walked that decision back. They are going to continue the 7 day free cloud storage, so after the EOL date, which was July 1st, they'll continue to offer security updates for a year, but after that our cameras will still work but not receive updates. I'll definitely be looking for other options, but at least they'll still work. If anyone knows a good kit that lets you host the videos yourself I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Excuse me sir, but I found these in my biscuits.

He is the most chill cat I've ever known. He doesn't mind anything. I can pick him up and he's just a limp noodle. Knock something over and the other two are off the couch and up the stairs before you can blink, but he'll barely lift his head to investigate. And no he's not deaf, he can hear treats in the kitchen from the farthest room upstairs.
