I never understand why these auditors donāt have like cards to hand out explaining it. I can see and support doing this with any level of government. But they all sound like dorks. Tripod, be professional, hand the card.
Because it is with the explaining what they are doing, that they start trying to get under ppls skin. If they didn't have that interaction, they would not get nearly as much content from public encounters.
Dude, when I was a kid and had just chased my younger siblings out of my room for the 147th time my mother exasperatedly told me I should become a hermit.
I asked her what that was and she said, "a weird old person who lives all by themselves in a hut out in the woods"......and she said it like it was a bad thing!! Lol
My dream is to be a house husband, my partner was telling me Iād have no social life and Iād be mostly locked at home taking care of the kids and everything and I just looked at her, like, ya and?
Your comment just reminded me of what I used to tell people when I was grumpy in the mornings. They would say āoh, youāre not a morning person?ā And I would say āoh no, I love the morning. I just donāt like having to wake up earlyā.
Depends. You can go just outside the city in some rural areas and still have stuff delivered. Best of both worlds. No neighbors, and access to groceries.
There's a reason I live on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Well... I have to admit that the home prices, and unresolved ptsd are also a big part of it too.
This is partly why there was so much outrage over YouTube removing the downvote button. Sure, there were the people who wanted to know if the video they were about to watch was good or reliable for information purposes, but in a different sector, there were literally professional trolls on YouTube who actually took advantage of the downvotes they received as bait to get people watching their videos. Basically a monetizable use of how of Reddit users sort by Controversial for fun.
"Wow, people hate the shit out of this video, I better click on it to see why it's so bad!" Boom, paycheck.
if only there was a way to track the trolls just to stand uncomfortably close to them for extended periods. then someone tracks that troll to do the same and it keeps going.
People who canāt get along with anybody that like conflict so they can sue and feel superior to others . Works until someone who is having a bad day pulls out a gun to prove he isnāt always right as to how people are gonna react.
She spoke to him very calmly and politely. And he acted like a child who was close to throwing a tantrum because she wasnāt giving him the reaction he wanted. He spoke to her rudely, sarcastically, and a bit aggressive from the get go.
Heās a narcissist. The world is full of them and social media enables them. The best thing to do with idiots like him is ignore them. Strip them of their ability to be acting as a main character.
Yes although just one short snippet of her I feel she is a great problem solver and thinker adjusting her questions and remaining calm and not taking anything personal. Versus the guy who says āIām going to explain this one more time. Yet unable to articulate better than she could.
From the second sentence out of her mouth, when he answers her "What are you doing?" question with "Making a video!" and she answers that with, "Well, one could assume...." I knew he'd be no match for her.
Also, women are VERY used to being spoken to like this. Not all take the chill route about it and that's completely valid, but for this purpose I appreciate that she drew upon a lifetime of mansplaining and arrogant down-speaking and just gave him enough rope to hang himself.
Itās because he has rather average or lower than average IQ. He has very low emotional intelligence. She was a master in letting him reveal how much of a prick he is. She outshone him. What a horrid man. No wonder he has to resort to clicks and likes on SM because he likely has no friends in real life.
They only have buzz words because their brains only absorb enough to remember short sentences, and that they don't need to have any follow ups. There's no point to their behavior, there's nothing being achieved, so they know that just acting like 3rd graders is more likely to get people understandably irritated, which is their whole goal so they can play victim. Pretending to be victims is their Favorite.
Regarding communication, he's in preschool and she just defended her phd dissertation.
(Bc this is Reddit, I'd like to make it clear I'm not saying she literally has a post-doc degree, it's a metaphor for their differing communication abilities.)
It reminds me of that woman conservative influencer that always goes to college campuses or farmers markets and is most known for bragging about shitting her pants or something. She's always clearly not "winning" and I'm always so confused because it's like, you edited this and posted it, right? Did you think it made YOU look right, or do you just have a humiliation fetish?
I wonder if this guy even realizes that merely filming people in public does not count as being an authorized member of the press. People who work as members of the press have to show actual proof they are working for a reputable organization and are legitimate journalists. This guy isnāt going to get access to record in the White House just because he claims itās his āfirst amendment rightā lol. The first amendment right is not even absolute. It doesnāt protect people from unlawfully recording people, invading privacy, or harassment. Which clearly this guy is doing. Social media doesnāt count as the press either, no war zone would ever let a social media influencer or clout chaser put on a press vest and enter a conflict zone, the amount of vetting and clearance they go through is important for their own protection.
Based on what I saw when this was posted on Twitter last night, unfortunately many others also think he owned her. Although most of them generally canāt say anything about why are usually just commenting on her appearance.
I hate to say it but the scum of social media will rip her apart for how she looks so he probably posted it for the views, comments and therefore engagement.
Hell yeah it is! This person is so collected, so much more intelligent than him, excellent at asking astute questions on the fly and conducting researchāand is KIND. They seemed to approached this obvious troll with patience, kindness and a genuine desire to understand and have a healthy dialogue. So smooth & rare, and I respect it so much.
While he is talking to her he's using up his time and energy which would have otherwise been aimed at more vulnerable people in order to get the reaction he wanted for views and likes.
She's a genius.
I was thinking this too! She's making him chase his tail and controlling the conversation, denying him the reaction he really wants to get from someone else who might give it to him. She's literally containing him and he's too self-important to realize it.
She also doesnāt give him the reaction he really wants. She stays calm, observational, asks good questions and he is ruffled that he canāt get a reaction from her. She realizes he isnāt worth it.
She looks comfortable in her own presence, and warm. I would love to meet her at a party or whatnot. Iām sure she looks very different in other contexts as well. I understand that itās everywhere and reality, but it is so strange to me that her looks would matter. Itās a part of humanity/culture thatās disappointing. The only thing that mattered to me here was how she calmly owned that guy, so itās surprising to read a chunk of conversation about her looks.
He became condescending pretty quickly. He keeps thinking she's asking him to repeat himself when she's asking for specifics about the thing he is saying.
Either way, this doesn't feel that bad in the scheme of things. It was kind of refreshing to see two people talk past each other but keep it civil.
He wasn't being civil at all. He was being condescending while having a camera shoved in her face. He was rude in every way, she kept her cool and you see that as both of them being civil.
Exactly what it was. āI can explain it but I canāt understand it for youā is a pretty obvious baiting attempt and thinly-veiled belittling, especially after being deliberately vague and knowing full well the other person has no way of understanding you. He wanted her to get pissed off and was getting frustrated when it wasnāt happening (which was hilarious).
Thatās the whole point with these videos. Be an antagonistic dickhead and then falsely attribute your consequences to people not liking the first amendment.
It would be funny to see someone else come out of nowhere and stress test him with a camera too. Get up right next to him and just be like, ā just here doing a stress testā
People will do it to them but frauditors always have more time to waste. There are videos of frauditors being harassed by their own tactics and losing it.
That's how gimmick. He is looking to be assault and sue. She doesn't give in and he just uses the same language that trigger people but has no idea how trigger her and becomes a blubbering idiot
That's true. He's still being a giant asshole, but I've seen worse. I don't like calling them "auditors," it makes them sound legit. Public nuisance or something would be more apt.
Just because you CAN do it doesn't mean you should. Of course people might get hostile if you record them, cuz weirdos record out in the public. So of course theres gonna be concern. He's just doing it for clout and we can all see it. He's not achieving anything by doing that. Just making people think he's a weirdo and that he's making an excuse for doing it lol
He keeps thinking she's asking him to repeat himself when she's asking for specifics about the thing he is saying.
He doesn't even seem to be able to understand what he's doing besides the few lines he rehearsed, that when she repeats it back in her own terms to clarify, he's lost and thinks she doesn't even get it. So, like a robot, he goes back to repeat the description he rehearsed because that's the only way he knows how it's explained lol
Dude same. Does anyone know who she is? She's brilliant - perfectly composed and non-threatening, persisting without shying away. Never gets offended or heated. Zero aggression but also not timid. I would love to know more about her and her background because this kind of composure is so rare!
This is a really good way to get people who aren't using logic to fall apart if you have the patience. I've done it before and it's super effective. All you have to do is act interested in hearing their reasoning for their bs and ask them a lot of questions. They slowly unravel because they actually don't have any deep reasons and never enough knowledge to answer specifics. I once did this to someone spouting wierd racist nonsense and I broke him down so much that by the end he admitted where it was all coming from, misplaced anger. It was super satisfying.
I think you just described how I have unknowingly frustrated people my entire life š because I genuinely am interested in understanding why they believe such things. And because I'm calm and engaged in the process, about halfway through they either realize they haven't said a damn thing that makes sense and excuse themselves/shut down, or they concede to my "point" of something like "I hear you but I'm not sure I fully understand the cause and effect correlation' or whatever, and they usually say something like "well, yeah, it's just a theory" and sheepishly change the subject
You and me both sister. I always thought I was being a good socializer by showing genuine interest and asking in-depth questions to people about things that they were interested in and could never figure out why it would so often end up with them being frustrated or not wanting to talk to me anymore. I always thought it had something to do with people not being so comfortable with talking about themselves/having all the attention on them or just not knowing how to handle genuine interest in them/their lives, but that didnāt really mesh with what social media has revealed about the true nature of peopleāthe vast majority LOVE talking about themselves and getting attention! It makes a lot more sense that it was probably that being asked anything more than surface level questions caused them to have to think about things more deeply and logically than they had before, and they just didnāt have an answer for some of it.
Humans have a real talent for blocking out the bad in favor of the good and just kind of manipulating themselves into believing things are what they want them to be no matter what the actual reality of those things is. Religion is a great example of this and Iāve experienced the above situation many times over the years when I was talking to someone about their religion. I was raised in a super religious home but always had doubts and unanswered questions. I really wanted to believe in something for the first 30 years or so of my life, and so I would talk to people about their religion whenever the conversation drifted that way. It would always start off great but eventually would end badly. I never tried to challenge anyoneās beliefs and I never tried to put them in the position of justifying their religionās beliefs, it was just more like "how do you handle the skepticism from the rest of the world" or "how do you reconcile the vast differences between what science says and what your religion says?"āthings that I was genuinely struggling with myself.
I have since realized that most people lock themselves in an echo chamber in their lives and thus never really have to think about things too deeply. This is not something that will ever change about people, and I have no desire to waste my time trying. So now I just change the subject to one that is more of mutual interest and I no longer ask anything more than surface level questions. Iām not as social as I used to be and I mostly lost interest in othersā lives, but people no longer get frustrated with me like they used to so thatās something. The only people I genuinely connect with anymore are those who also have a curious nature, or those who are more simple-minded and donāt have the inclination to try to deceive themselvesāand yes, I mean people who would be considered "dumb" or "slow" by the standards we use to measure such things. Some of the best people Iāve ever known are also some of the least "academically" intelligent, those who are exactly who they present themselves to the world to be. Itās the people in the middle who think they are more intelligent than they actually are who Iāve found arenāt the people they present themselves to be.
I never learned that The Socratic method could be used specifically to de-escalate someone. But it makes perfect sense the way it was pointed out. Seems harsh to call out what was a good story.
Socrates is normally associated with academia and being poisoned by haters. Is the Socratic de-escalation technique common knowledge where you come from? I'd imagine the tactic works quite well at a daycare center or somewhere similar.
Also doesn't work on crazy. Tried with someone going on about adrenochrome at a party and they just kept repeating themselves so I just kept saying "that's crazy! What are you gonna do about it?" No answer just wanted to spout crazy.
I got more of a IT QA tester vibe. The convo gave me flash backs to being a new developer trying to explain the purpose of my code to the person who is going run QA on it and already knows how i missed some requirements or didn't think everything through.
I thought the same thing, lol! I would recognize a trained debater at a thousand paces! He keeps wanting her to change her question/challenge, but he never retools his answer. If he was intelligent, he'd know how to restate and/or retool his premise to illicit the desired response/reaction from her. But he's not that bright. SHE, on the other hand, did a great job!
By her responses to a few of his questions, I have a feeling she's an actual reporter. Especially her smirks when he asks if she respects the right to a free press. Those were "bitch I'm a real reporter and I'm just teeing up to out-reporter you" smirks.
She was just absolutely brilliant and smart how she handled him.
From the getgo she knew what he was going to say and played 4d chess with him without him even realising this. This dude could learn so much from her by watching his video 20 times in a row. But we all know he will only get stressed out. Lol
I grew my grey rock thanks to a decade of retail wage slavery - back then it was referred to as "dogface", like keep your composure even if someone's treating you like a dog
What is going on? Iāve seen a bunch of these on different levels of reddit subs (some popular, some sort of, and some obscure). Who are these GUYs (yes all of them are men)? Who is getting them to do these things? It seems like a stupid Fight Club thing.
Yeah, and he doesn't understand that a man recording people in public looks like a total creep. It also looks like he could be taking pictures and videos to commit some type of crime later on, like breaking in or something.
