I called again after trying to understand what happened (because at the time it wasn’t clear and she was not trying to help me understand) and when I asked for a manager, she said no. The agent literally raised her voice talked over me. When I called customer service to get it taken care of and to report the system error I experienced, I was talked to SO disrespectfully. I didn’t see the issue until I went to fill up again. On the app, nothing appeared out of the ordinary after making the transaction as usual.

YouTube cracking down on this content is a great step forward in proper moderation, but there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. ![]() These videos are made solely for the clicks and can sometimes pull in tens of millions of impressionable viewers. Channels like PrankInvasion, JoeySalads, FouseyTube and others post "fake" pranks that younger viewers may feel are the real thing. Pranks that are "so bad they leave a child traumatized for life" might refer to the Daddy Of Five YouTube channel, where the family lost custody of two of their children because of the troublesome and abusive nature of their "prank" videos. "Home Invasion pranks," where content creators pretend to break into the homes of unsespecting victims, have been popular with family YouTube channels like the Ace Family and more risque content creators like Sam Pepper. This blog post also mentions a different pranks that refer to very specific instances. The Tide Pod challenge, where players attempted to eat an extremely poisonous sack of bleach because the internet told them to, was cited as one such challenge. They want to "prohibit content that causes serious harm" and limit the damage done to challenge participants. She says that some challenges like "Jimmy Kimmel's Terrible Christmas Presents prank or the water bottle flip challenge" are an important part of YouTube, but the site wants to make sure pranks don't step over the line.

"Challenges that present an apparent risk of death" and that "pose an imminent risk of injury or bodily harm" are all also not allowed on YouTube. Alien invasion prank : We teamed up to scare our friend :-) and it worked very well. ![]() This change comes after years of controversy surrounding the existence of prank channels and discussions about whether they should be allowed on the video streaming platform. The updated guidelines say that pranks " that lead victims to believe they are in physical danger or that can cause real physical harm" or "that may cause emotional distress to children" are no longer allowed on the platform. ![]() So many videos of pranks by customers have been posted online in Japan that the phenomenon is considered a social problem.On Tuesday night, YouTube announced major changes to its external Community Guidelines that target pranks and challenges. The prankster's representatives submitted a written submission to the court asking it to dismiss the complaint. The company says the prank offended many of its customers, and damaged their trust in its restaurant hygiene. It says it suffered a loss of more than 16 billion yen, or about 115 million dollars, as a result. The video shows a customer licking a soy sauce bottle in the chain's Gifu City restaurant in central Japan in January.Īkindo Sushiro says the video led to a significant drop in customers nationwide and a sharp decline in the share price of its parent company. It is seeking more than 67 million yen, or about 480,000 dollars, in damages. The Osaka-based company claims the video hurt its business and share price.Īkindo Sushiro filed the lawsuit with the Osaka District Court.

Texas put two on starting the ninth before Marinaccio, pitching on five days' rest, struck out Ezequiel Durán and Leody Taveras. After throwing a wild pitch to the backstop that put runners at second and third, Holmes struck out Josh Jung on an 84 mph sweeper.

Firstly, Auriok Champion is naturally very good against the red decks of the format, clogging up the board on the ground and gaining a lot of life over the course of the game. It’s another good, flexible option for sideboards, but I don’t think it’s much more than that.Auriok Champion and Conclave Mentor are your two drops. This card will see play, but it’s not demonstrably different from the kinds of cards decks have been answering for years. My main point here is to throw a wet blanket on the doomsayers and over-reactionaries who think this gives Jund the keys to the castle of tier-0 Modern supremacy, or that Tron and Storm are now dead, cremated, buried, and shat-upon. Spell Snare just counters this, obviously.It doesn’t do nothing, but you’d have to be replacing some serious maindeck chaff to justify bringing this in just for Snaps or Cascade Lady. I’m pretty sure if you’re boarding in Damping Sphere just for those cards, I’m going to thank you for time-walking yourself on turn 2. Many think this is an answer to Snapcaster Mage and Bloodbraid Elf.Damping Sphere certainly prevents the critical-mass from occurring, but doesn’t do anything else. Rest in Peace is more difficult to get rid of (being an enchantment) and can sometimes end up exiling graveyard cards Storm was counting on to go off. Not only does she prevent Storm’s combo turn, but she even makes it extremely hard to cast cantrips at all and find answers. For instance, a Thalia, Guardian o f Thraben can often just brick Storm if they’re short on lands. This card isn’t necessarily better than many of the other common (and similar) Storm answers.If you’re able to, you’re playing Blood Moon instead. ![]() Blood Moon shuts off man-lands, fetch-lands, often-times entire colors.
![]() “We need a clinical study to show that it can demonstrate these benefits in us, as well,” says Barzilai. He told the Telegraph that the human-adjusted version of this daily dosage would work out at between 3g-6g of taurine, although this has yet to be tested. To begin with, the mice in Yadav’s study were given high doses of taurine – 1g per kilogram of body weight per day. However, scientists caution that we still need to know more about the effects of taurine in humans. “They had more blood-glucose and insulin tolerance, and they also seemed to be less anxious and fearful in their behaviour, and their memory was working better.” ![]() “Taurine supplementation reduced their body-fat percentage, increased their bone density and made their muscles function better – they had better muscle strength, better neuromuscular co-ordination and could run for longer on a treadmill,” he says. Yadav says it is notable that when taurine was given to middle-aged mice, it led to multiple health benefits. One of the reasons for this is that taurine appears to be capable of enhancing the function of mitochondria, the power factories within our cells that give us energy. Multiple clinical trials have since shown that it can offer benefit, helping them to become more active. Research suggests that it acts across multiple organ systems, protecting the brain by regulating the amount of calcium within nerve cells – a nutrient that is crucial for memory and other cognitive functions – as well as controlling inflammation in the heart and blood vessels.īack in the 1980s, Japanese doctors began giving taurine supplements to patients who had suffered heart failure, in an attempt to improve their exercise capacity. While amino acids usually help build various proteins in the body, taurine has a markedly different function. We’re seeing more and more gerotherapeutics starting to emerge.” How does taurine work in the body? “I’m very excited for any progress in this field. “As well as extending the lifespan and healthspan of animals, taurine seems to target most of the hallmarks of ageing,” says Nir Barzilai, founding director of the Institute for Ageing Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York, and a pioneer of anti-ageing drugs, or gerotherapeutics. ![]() This is based on various studies in animals or by studying cells in the lab. Similar benefits have been identified by researchers at Victoria University, in Melbourne, who found that taurine shows potential for improving cardiovascular health, as well as preventing the harmful accumulation of cholesterol and fat within the arteries. When Yadav and his colleagues examined taurine in 12,000 European adults over the age of 60, they found that higher levels were linked to fewer cases of type 2 diabetes, less obesity, reduced hypertension and lower inflammation. Taurine has long been popular with bodybuilders and athletes, who take it as a supplement to try and control their body temperature and reduce muscle fatigue during competition.īut more and more research is suggesting that maintaining sufficient levels of taurine may be crucial for health in later life. To me, it’s exciting to see if by boosting taurine, we can alter some of the ageing processes.” Why is everyone so excited about taurine? “Babies are very dependent on taurine for growth, and it’s found in very high levels in breast milk, but in old age, our taurine levels are 80 per cent lower. “With age, taurine levels in our body start to decline for reasons we don’t fully understand,” he says. Vijay Yadav, an assistant professor at Columbia University, in New York, who led the study, told the Telegraph that the findings suggest that taurine could be a way of reversing some of the biological processes of ageing. The supplement prevented weight gain, increased bone density and improved their immune systems. Similar benefits were found when taurine was given to middle-aged rhesus macaques for six months. ![]() Intriguingly, not only did the animals live longer, but they seemed to be healthier. ![]() Last week, an international team of researchers published a study in the prestigious journal Science where they showed that giving taurine to middle-aged mice increased their lifespan by 10 to 12 per cent – the equivalent of an extra decade in humans. Scientists have been studying taurine for 200 years, but its real potential has only been uncovered relatively recently. From Jeff Bezos to Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the world’s billionaires, and their quest for immortality, have been driving a renewed interest in longevity supplements over the past two years.īut for all their wacky investments – from stem cells to blood transfusions from teenagers – could the real elixir of life turn out to be an amino acid that is commonly found in Red Bull and other energy drinks? ![]() ![]() I love your points about Cooper's tone here-she is clearly whip-smart and hyper reflective on these topics, but writes in an engaging manner that invites you into her intellect, instead of wielding it over you. Hey Thomas, once again, such an insightful/honest/lovely review!! The consequence of all these antirespectable choices range from violence to death." This rage is dangerous because it can't be reasoned with, can't be forced to accept the daily indignities of racism, and more than likely will fight back, rather than fleeing or submitting. Black rage says that living without dignity is no life at all. Respectability tells us that staying alive matters more than protecting one's dignity. "Because respectability is a rage-management project, those invested in Black respectability are often deeply uncomfortable with Black rage. I will end this review with one final quote, just because I loved so many passages from this book: Cooper is unapologetic in how she centers black women in her analyses and that makes Eloquent Rage an all the more worthwhile and necessary read. While some sections felt a little circuitous, Cooper's heart and wisdom won me over every time. Overall, an excellent essay collection I would recommend to anyone interested in feminism, human rights, and social justice. Meanwhile, Black movies, shows, and books are typically seen as limited and particular." The problem is that only the experiences of white people are treated as universal. The stories we watch and read ask us to put aside their whiteness and relate to their very 'universal' human struggles around conflict with the world, the self, and others. Before we fully learn to love ourselves, all people of color in the United States learn that we are supporting characters and spectators in the collective story of white people's lives. That tucking away of my Black-girlness, even as I simultaneously tucked away my awareness of my friends' whiteness, was a survival skill that I honed, in part, by reading and immersing myself in the stories of white girls' lives. "Most of my love of Black girl pop icons and Black music lived out of sight of anyone but my mother. Another quote I cherish from this book, about representation: If you feel defensive reading her words, it may be beneficial to unpack that emotion and examine your privileges and biases. I so appreciated her skepticism about individual empowerment from a social justice framework and her constructive criticism about white women's participation in racism. Cooper weaves herself into these essays too, such as by writing about how toxic masculinity impaired the men in her family as she grew up, as well as how the political implications of marriage rates for black women affected her on a psychological level. I loved the central theme of how we should harness and honor rage and anger as anti-oppression tools that can create change and joy. It is a refusal of the lie that Black women's anger in the face of routine, everyday injustice is not legitimate."Ĭooper covers an expansive set of important issues in Eloquent Rage, so I will mention just a few of my favorite points here. To be made a fool of, to be silenced, or to stand for anybody's bullshit. ![]() Obama didn't sublimate the rage over Trump and his wife to the province of the slay. That's why it's damn near impossible for rage and respectability to reside in the same place. "Rage is a fundamentally more reasonable response to America's cultural investment in the disrespect of Black women than being respectable. A quote from a fantastic section of the book about rage vs. One of her most impressive feats in this collection: she wields a writing voice that is intelligent and incisive and academic, that also comes across as real and relatable.
