Re-uploading is stealing views. Embedding is better for sharing because then the originator still gets compensated.

stallioncock ONLINE (09/09/2015) [-] Well it's because these vids were posted that I actually googled his youtube name and subscribed to him. So if people really like him, wouldn't they read the comments to find out who he was?

zaxzwim (09/09/2015) [-] i found out about him the other day with that other post, i went and watched all his videos and thought "man, this is pretty funny, i could post it on FJ and probably get a decent amount of thumbs" but then i didn't because i'm not a gigantic faggot i don't remember why i started this but i thought i should finish it, sorry about that

goldenrodent (09/09/2015) [-] people also want to see what else someone might have to offer, so yes, there will be people who go to youtube to watch his video. Other videos included.
Also, why dont you sign in and thumb me down like a real man would.

rainbowrush ONLINE (09/09/2015) [-] Before I saw him on FJ ~a week ago, I had never heard of him. I had given him no traffic nor an ad revenue. I checked out his youtube when I found out about him. I guess that doesn't count.
It's like saying pirating music hurts the business. It makes no sense at all.

thechosentroll (09/09/2015) [-] I loved the stupid questions. Most of my teachers were idiots and my parents came to the same conclusion after a single PTA. In fact, they were actually glad when I pissed off certain teachers, because they'd been such massive cunts every time they met. So I was given pretty much free reign to talk back.
"If he told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?"
"Probably. He's a pretty charismatic guy. He could easily start a suicide cult."
"Everyone else was doing it? If everyone else jumped into a volcano, would you do it, too?"
"No, I'd be the guy who has to upload it to Youtube afterwards."
"Why didn't you go to the bathroom during the break?"
"I didn't have to go then, but as soon as your class started, I nearly pissed myself in excitement."
"Are you mocking me?"
"Depends on whether you're going to let me to go the bathroom or not."
"You forgot your textbook? Do you ever forget to eat, too?"
"Yes, actually. This open pack of skittles has been sitting in my bag for two months now. Wanna see?" I really did forget a pack of skittles in my bag for about 6 months.
"Why are you late?"
"I got stuck in traffic."
"You're 16. You don't have a drivers' license."
"I don't have a car, either. Why do you think driving here was so hard?"
"How would your parents react if they knew you backtalked me like that?"
"Who do you think taught me how to do it?"
"Do you think you're funny?"
"Yes. Very."
"And what if I called your mother?"
"She'd agree that I'm funny, then get pissed at you for calling her at work. Wanna try? You can use my phone, if you like. Here, I'll dial it for you."
Nearly failed half my classes, because I kept getting Fs for being a smartass. Thank god the teachers that taught the two subjects I actually needed in order to get into university weren't morons and I got straight As in those. So glad my parents only cared about the grades in those two.

"Fs for being a smartass"... isn't that illegal? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure not doing your work and failing tests is how you get an F in class. I have a lot of students who backsass all the time, but I don't just stamp an F on their tests or term papers.

thechosentroll (09/09/2015) [-] When someone's pissing a teacher off, they just ask them a bunch of ******** questions with no real right answer or an answer that's so long and complicated no one could ever answer properly, after which they write the F. As far as the school's concerned, I got 3 Fs in a row in history, because I couldn't answer some questions, not because I stopped giving a **** about her subject and started drawing the attention to myself when she was picking on one of my friends.

msamnesia (09/09/2015) [-]
So it sounds like your oral participation grade might of been an F. I can sadly see that happening, we have a tenure professor at my school who does that nonsense and get away with it because, like I said, he has tenure. But still, an oral question can't be the entirety of your grade. I'm sorry for your **** teacher, but there's a lot of ****** teachers and yet somehow a lot of kids still get As in those classes.
And personally, if someone was legitimately that clever with their responses--assuming they're real and not some tumblr made up whathaveyou--I wouldn't even be mad. I've gotten a few clever remarks and I just laughed and nodded. But I've only been doing this for like 2 years, I'm no where close to being cynical.

thechosentroll (09/09/2015) [-] Yes, those were my genuine remarks. And I could have easily *********** my way through the classes and gotten As. I just didn't see a point. I got into what was supposed to be an incredible high-class school (at least had the reputation of one) and it ended up being a complete ******** , filled with old, bitter teachers, who hate everything except their paychecks, so in the 8th grade, I more or less lost any interest in learning and my grades (I used to be an honor student) took a nosedive. Around the 9th grade, I lost my ability to give a **** . Just woke up one morning and it was gone. It made my grades a bit worse, but on the flip side, it helped me cheer up a bit. In the 10th grade, I realized that everything I'm learning in school is completely pointless, except for my exams, so I may as well figure out what I'm gonna need to get into university. By the 11th grade, I'd already decided on a degree and everything and knew which grades I'd need to get in, so I focused on those. Went from a D to an A in math in a year and a half, while completely ignoring the subjects I didn't need. Kept doing the same in the 12th grade, except that was the point where everyone was extremely stressed and worried about their future, which our teachers used in order to mess with us and make everyone even more nervous and afraid. I wasn't having none of that **** and went against them, so that was more or less the year when I managed to piss off almost every teacher and the year some of them (like the history bitch) tried to make it so I can't even graduate, by giving me straight Fs. Luckily for me, being the class nerd, means you've spent 12 years helping other people cheat, so cheating was really easy. I was able to cheat while the teacher was literally sitting in front of me and staring me down, because the dumb bitch never once figured to just move a bit. If she had, she'd have easily seen the pieces of paper I'd hidden under my arm. Luckily, like I said, most of my teachers were idiots.

A lot of high-end schools have this, because a lot of the teachers have locked in salaries regardless of test scores or anything, so they have free reign to not give a crap about their students.
I work at a lower-end school myself, and I like it because I have a bit more wiggle room to try new lesson plan types and be more casual with the students.
My favorite thing is the first week of school, I dress down to casuals and I sit in one of the desks while the students come in. I still look really young, and they've never met me before, so they just think I'm a student and after about 30 minutes into class if people talking **** about "this ******* teacher" I already know all I need to about each of the students so I can personalize my teaching for them.

Just link the video in the description at the very least. He even made a point that another website is uploading his videos without crediting him

dudemiesterman (09/10/2015) [-] Yeah I don't understand why everyone is so adamant about using webm. If it has a youtube video, just do the youtube video embed that is built into the website for that express ******* purpose. Loads faster a lot of the time and you don't have to worry about being an asshole.

murrlogic (09/09/2015) [-] Let me tell you one of the main reasons I failed school...outside of me being in the bottom 500 in my math class.
English is a mandatory requirement to get your AA in college. I had an English teacher who wanted us to do a report on 50 shades of Grey...Yes you read that right
My English teacher walked into the college library, closed his eyes, and after picking a random book which happened to be 50 ******* shades of Grey we had to write a book report about it
And English got progressively worse as the year went by. I got a ******* D!
>We had to write a report about Poverty...IN ENGLISH CLASS! This is a ******* Poly Sci topic at best
>Next we had to write a report on Ebonics...IN ******* ENGLISH CLASS! We learned how to speak BLACK in English like it was a ******* language we needed to learn
>Then...WE DID A ******* REPORT ON THE ******* HUNGER GAMES
Have you people ever sat down and actually read this series? Its **** . Katniss is the worst ******* female protagonist ever described to me and i've watched Legend of Korra and Twilight I know what a ****** female protagonist looks like
This is why i failed school. I was not gonna put up with this ****
This wasn't a ******* English class it was a middle school brain washing cultural enrichment seminar. Wanna know how I am not exaggerating?
My english teacher was a dyke...who talked about her girlfriend and tried to relate her t every topic we discussed in ******* class.

chuca (09/09/2015) [-] The first one was the bane of my existence in school. I always ended up writing the same ******* thing in five different ways just to reach the minimum. The only thing that taught me was if I ******** enough something that could be said simply in one sentence would sound more complicated in three paragraphs. Which I suppose is a useful skill for certain fields.

lolollo (09/09/2015) [-] If you ever encounter the "if your friends were to do x rediculous thing, would you?" line, just explain about how you have impulse control.
In psychology, impulse control is a behavioral trait in behavioral analysis which basically notes that you'll actively observe the specifics of your environment before deciding on the action you would take in that environment. It's why you'll speed going down the road, but then slow down the second you see a cop.
It's not hypocritical, its adaptive. When you were out with your hunter and gatherer buddies, looking for the fruit with the least amount of bird **** on it, talking **** about how you were "berrypickerzoned" by the village women because they only ever want to go out with the "douchey, meatheaded spear strokers" and a bear walks into the clearing. "Oh, you'll talk and joke around now, but then a bear walks in and you'll suddenly change your behavior, how hypocritical of you!"
It was both awesome and frustrating to learn about, because it also explains that ******** line teachers use to get pissed at parents: "he doesn't act that way at home!" He doesn't act like a cunt at home because he knows he won't get away with doing so. So then, Mrs. Habedashery, what the **** are you letting him get away with, and why?
