I’m also in the UK, and also watch Forgotten Weapons. The channel’s focus on historical weaponry is certainly interesting and I’d argue distinct from the material described above – even though some of the weaponry he showcases is sometimes approaching contemporary IIRC.

But even then, there’s been a few videos where…

The book was on the show, which makes it part of the show. People only heard about it because of the show.

So no, it’s not a “nice try” it’s the perfectly legitimate explanation as to why it is inextricably linked to the show; and thus its eponymous host.

<blockquote>Jill Twiss does the work, John Oliver gets the credit. See how this works?</blockquote>

You do know that John Oliver doesn’t write all his own material for the John Oliver show, right? Nor does Trevor Noah, for that matter.

What you’re describing is “how TV works”, in particular TV where the leading…

<blockquote>Does Audrey Pence have anything to do with Focus on the Family?</blockquote>

You mean apart from making them a stop on the publicity drive?

<blockquote>Firstly, is Charlotte Pence responsible for her fiftysomething father’s decades long history of shitty homophobic views?</blockquote>

Cashing in on the political positioning those views have afforded him, would count as complicity to most reasonable people.

<blockquote>You know who else is not involved in the Pence book? Mike Pence.</blockquote>

You keep saying “sports photography”.

I don’t know what you mean by that, and it is not a term I used or is pertinent to the point I was making.

I don’t think knowing the particulars of teams, or the subject of the photograph, are at all relevant to its aesthetics and thus value as a piece of photographic art.

I do think it’s quite telling that when you tried to find images of men, you’ve found pictures which are utilitarian, boring, and ugly. The athletes look…

Surely that is a legitimately good photograph? The practically airborne athelete, the low height of the return, the action lines of the body pointing to the ball, the framing of net and the the spectator’s stand, etc?

In another context, I could see it being disregarded as smut; but in the context of “olympic…

Red State?

I mean, I found it at least somewhat interesting, but I can’t see that many people finding it entertaining...

Steven Senegal?

“What in the blue fuck are you talking about?”

It should’ve been quite clear from the words I was using.

If people were good at reading body-language, there would be no awkward social interactions ever because people would easily recognise when they’ve bored, annoyed, upset, offended another person.
All bad dates would…

You think you can read body language sufficiently; but you misread what little you read put to you in plain English, and skip the post.

Just proves my point - you’re the sort of person who believes body-language is a catch-all excuse that excuses them from being wrong in their day-to-day communications.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a critical part. What I said was that it is an ambiguous part and anyone who claims that it should be “easy” to read what another person is thinking from their body language is a liar who gives themselves and others more credit than they deserve.

They’re the sort of people who tell themselves…

Your assessments of me and what I’m revealing would have more credibility coming from someone who doesn’t wrongly believe that reading body signals is an innate quality most people possess - rather than a rare and valuable skill which generally requires a significant amount of formal training to actually make…

“I felt, when I wrote that “people don’t make this up,” I was talking to a group of adults who would be able to process that for what it was—that it by-and-large does not happen.”

No matter how you try to rephrase it, it’s still speculative tosh. The fact that you felt that by preaching to the choir you were excused…

“and since it nearly never happens that women make this up,”

“The truth is “non-verbal signals” are very, very clear.”

That’s not a ‘truth’ – that’s a conjecture at best, and one that is directly contradictory to most people’s experiences out in the real world.

Eh, no, he thinks “secretly removing a condom during sex” isn’t *workplace misconduct* - which would seem to be factually accurate unless the criticisms were being made by porn-stars or prostitutes.

And as the context of the topic is presumably *sexual* harassment, ‘stealing ideas’ certainly fails to qualify unless the…
