Quote: EvenBobLook at this video of high school kids in the hallway at school from 1987. It's almost 40 years ago and what's the first things that you notice. Nobody is staring down at a phone. Nobody has a tattoo. But mostly there's no fat people. I watched this twice and did not see a single morbidly obese student. Today it would be about 30 to 40% of them. What the heck happened in the last 40 years. Plus these kids all look normal, they don't look like whack jobs like so many modern kids do.

Another of EB's distorted misshapen world view posts. He apparently has forgotten the hippies and the other weird movements of the past. Rock and roll, the Beatles long hair and radical fashions of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. And BTW obesity has always been around.
The posted garbage keeps on coming.

No kidding, what a revelation. Point being it wasn't prevalent in 1987 like it is today. Why would that be. What's different now that makes these kids balloon up like they belong in a sideshow circus. Examine this video again and find an obese student. There aren't any. I'm sure there were a few because every school has a few, but the bus stops I drive by today half the kids waiting are morbidly obese. What's happening now in their lives that wasn't happening in 1987.

This would have been when I was in high school. We had a "fat kid" or three, but mostly not. When I was a junior or maybe a senior I forget which we had to give our weight for gym class. In the whole class there were maybe 3 guys over 200lbs and that was mostly because they were big frame dudes, again excepting the "fat kid." Tattoos at that age simply never. You did not have tattoo shops in every strip mall.
One thing is pop. We did not have vending machines when I was in school, the Coke machine did not work until after school hours.

You mean I have to actually add the words 'unlike today' before you get it? Seriously?
"Unlike today, nobody is staring down at a phone. Unlike today, none of the students have a tattoo."
Get it now? Good grief. And yes high school students have tattoos, up to 25% of teens are tattooed.
"One increasingly popular form of self-expression for students in high school is through tattoos. Most schools accept tattoos as long as the subject matter doesn't violate their community standards."

I was in high school 20 years before you and we had 1,000 students in four grades. I do not remember one morbidly obese kid, guy or girl, in the entire student body.
We had a teacher who probably weighed 300 lb and we constantly made fun of him. Everybody called him Mr Porky behind his back.

Most schools then had 1-2 "fat kids" who were legit had some kind of problem. We had a fat teacher in 10th grade. He went on a crash program to lose weight as we saw him walking the track during his lunch period when we were in 12th grade. I bet he lost over 100lbs.

The point is how buried the youth of today are in their phones. That they live in their phones. Back then you had to actually talk to people.
As an example a few years back I needed artwork done for a logo for my business cards. After a few emails I wanted to actually talk to people. One girl said, "well, I would rather just email as I am not good on the phone." Huh? You cannot talk to someone? Today's youth have far too many like that. And that is what the point is.
EB, if you had a different point please advise.....

Wow, that surprises me. I haven't been in High School for 40 years. Any idea what percentage of High School kids have tattoos? I imagine it is still pretty small.
There are plenty of these kinds of videos on YouTube of modern day high school. I picked these three at random because they seemed to show decent "random" scenes throughout the day.
P.S., I also found plenty of videos of high school kids from the '80s and '90s, and it's all just more of the same.

It's amazing what you can find to bolster your confirmation bias if you look hard enough. You could even prove that the Earth is flat and we never went to the Moon. Keep looking, maybe you'll find Bigfoot. Here's the truth, like it or don't. "According to the CDC, 22.2% of children and adolescents aged 12–19 are obese. This is more than 1 in 5 adolescents." in the 1970s it was 5%. Up to 25% of teenagers today have tattoos. 50% say they want tattoos. And if you've never seen a group of teenagers with every single one of them staring down at their phones, you really need to get out more.

The tattoo culture seems to have started in the 1990s and just keeps getting stronger. Thus I believe the 50% feature completely. The USA military used to have strict no-tattoo policies for recruits. I had a roommate was in back probably 80s and all the guys in his platoon got them one weekend except him. He was the only guy not confined and punished the following weekend. Today they could never come near making their numbers with a strict policy like that. Same guy was in a motorcycle repair class that had a "cover them up" rule in class. Said guys grumbled and as soon as they were on break they rolled their sleeves back up to show them.
I keep waiting for the removal business to skyrocket but it has yet to do so. The appear here to stay until we get a generation does not want their parent's tattoos.
As to phones, kids glued to them is legendary. Lots of other people too, but kids the most.

This is Sulphur, Oklahoma tornado damage drone footage that shows a town obliterated by the tornado. The Weather Channel just focused on one block of damage, they can't get around because they'll get flat tires from nails being everywhere on the roads and roads being blocked off by debris or first responders. They usually just stick to one scene and work it. We never really know how significant the damage is around them.

I was out of the country for the last 10 days and had my phone in airplane mode the whole time because I am cheap and don't want to pay the fees for using it in a foreign country. I was vey surprised when my phone rang and almost panicked because I thought I had it turned off. I didn't realize the iphone would receive calls on wifi. The call quality was perfect and I was very surprised.

Does iPhone 14 Crash Detection Work? We Tested it
Top comment: Apple stated themselves that the crash detection feature uses the sound of airbags as one of the triggers for the crashes. In other tests people have done with them, it has proven that the airbags triggering is a key factor.
"I read that it detects air pressure changes due to the air bag going off."
"They made sure to highlight that barometer to detect airbags during the keynote."
"If you’re wearing your Apple Watch at the time of the event, dialing emergency services will be placed by iPhone but Crash Detection features will be routed through Apple Watch."
"I left my iphone 14 pro Max in my friends car with his bass really loud and the police called me back saying I called them . Turns out the phone thought the bass was someone hitting the car."
"TechRax already did it with tests that were more severe and the crash detection triggered. Your crashes probably didn’t detect enough G forces. Remember, most accidents aren’t severe enough to knock anyone out. So crash detection isn’t needed in most accidents."
"Meanwhile on reddit posts about crash detection going off on rollercoasters."
"The threshold for crash detection seems set so high, the only person devices will be notifying in an accident is the coroner’s office."

They are only robbing expensive diners.
One guy had a $100,000 Rolex stolen. This would have happened anywhere. They are targeting the rich, not the restaurant.
The bit about police hamstring to stop crime is the usual political statements.
It doesn't even make sense. The video says thieves stealing under a thousand dollars are only charged with a misdemeanor while discussing a rash of robberies of Patek philippe watches. Shaking my head
Quote: ChumpChangeHis many past videos this year have focused on stores and malls being looted and the police do nothing so the same criminals are out doing it again in no time at all. The stores have had policies of not allowing employees to engage with robbers or the employees would be fired. So it just looks like open season on the stores for criminals. But as stores go out of business or lock down their merchandise, this video explains that the robbers are moving on to fresher targets, diners on the sidewalks.

In a city of 8 million + the odds of getting robbed are quite small.
Last time I was robbed by strangers on the street was 25 years ago.
Crime in the city are like major earthquakes in California. People who live in the affected area don't think about it cause it happens once every few decades. Meanwhile people who don't live in the area obsess over the poor inhabitants who "live" with the danger.

A couple of guys at a restaurant having their Patek Philippes watches stolen, that's just life in the big apple.
She wasn't concerned because she pointed out she only wore a simulacram of the real jewelry to show off. The valuable ones were stored safely away.
Because robbery of expensive jewelry isn't some new and shocking development in world history.
Perhaps people shouldn't wear $100,000 watches in public. Or at least not be shocked there are thieves ready to relieve them of it.

Top comment: I've been active on YT for over 15 years. For the first time ever, this week I got 3 strikes for 'hate speech' and a threat that one more strike and I'm gone. I know for certain I have never said anything remotely hateful or in violation of guidelines. I never name call. I'm not disrespectful to anyone. I just state facts or ask questions. Unfortunately when you get a notification that your comment was 'hate speech', they don't tell you what the comment was, or offer any option to contest it. They don't even say they'll review it. They just discipline you. It's like someone falsely reporting that you committed a crime and the police arresting you without evidence or due process. (this comment might be my last)
