Waching daily Feb 15 2019

Hello and welcome to This Week in Social Justice

I'm Daisy Cousens and I'll be discussing all the biggest and baddest social

justice fails of the past seven days. This week we have why Katy Perry is in

the SJW bad books again why so-called thin privilege is suddenly

a thing and depending on how long I feel like talking about the first two topics

we may even get time for a bonus topic. So let's get started. But while I have

your attention hit that subscribe button if you haven't

already it really, really helps me out when you do that and I would love it if

you did. Ok here we go.

Singer and occasional feminist Katy Perry is the latest celebrity to slide

onto the social justice blacklist. Why? Well apparently the latest release in

her line of designer shoes is racist. Following the February 2019 of racism

being the new misogyny and white privilege being the new toxic

masculinity -- Katy has been accused of promoting blackface on her new pumps and

sandals. This would seem particularly rich considering she also released a

beige and a gold version of the shoes which closely resemble an Anglo face. But

clearly blackface is in vogue at the moment amongst the sjw's squadrons

because hey they've gone through everything else and are looking for a

fresh take on how to be offended by trivia. After the usual outrage brigade

took to Twitter to voice their displeasure, Katy released a statement

"The Rue and The Ora were part of a collection that was released last summer

in nine different colorways and envisioned as a nod to modern art and

surrealism. I was saddened when it was brought to my attention that it was

being compared to painful images reminiscent of blackface. Our intention

was never to inflict any pain. We have immediately removed them from Katy Perry

collections dot com." And so Katy Perry's design branch has become yet another

company who has mistaken what happens on Twitter as an accurate reflection of

public opinion, capitulated to the cry bullies and pulled a product that by

anyone else's standards really is just a shoe. This incident follows a sweater

released by Gucci which drew Iowan the same Twitter crowd projected their

blackface fantasy onto it even though it only covers half

face and just like Katy Perry, Gucci released a groveling apology and pulled

the otherwise innocuous sweater from the shelves. "Gucci deeply apologizes for the

offence caused by the wool balaclava jumper. We can confirm that the item has

been immediately removed from our online store and all physical stores. We

consider diversity to be a fundamental value to be fully upheld, respected and

at the forefront of every decision we make. We are fully committed to

increasing diversity throughout our organization and turning this incident

into a powerful learning moment for the Gucci team and beyond." Look poor Katy

this isn't the first time she's been in the firing line of the race fantasy

militia. In 2013 she was accused of cultural appropriation after dressing as

a Geisha during her performance at the American Music Awards the same year she

was harangued for dressing her backup dancers as mummies with heavily padded

bodies varying accentuated breasts, full red lips and cartoonishly large rear

ends on her prismatic world tour. While this was quite obviously intended to be

a statement about plastic surgery it didn't escape the screeches. Callie

Beusman of Jezebel stated that the consensus was that the end result looked

like hyper sexualized caricatures of black women's bodies. " A co-worker pointed

out to me that it's possible that this was meant to be a statement about

plastic surgery -- women bandaged up after getting implants

and lip injections, etc. That just reads very wrong regardless of intent though

these get-ups really do look like yet another attempt to commodify stereotyped

black female sexuality." Okay here's the thing public figures and companies need

to stop taking Twitter so seriously it is not real life it is a regressive

lefty safe space and consists of a comparatively small amount of very noisy

people who tweet 90 times or more a day about how terrible so-called oppressed

groups should think their lives are. They are so miserable that they want to

project that onto everyone else because they hate fun and they can't stand to

see other people enjoying themselves. Most people are not like that most

people couldn't care less about a shoe with eyes and a mouth on it or an ugly

sweater with a mouth design or a pop star dressed as a Geisha. I mean I didn't

even know Katy Perry made shoes until I made this video. I am waiting in

joyful anticipation for the day someone in Katy Perry's position stands up to

these noisy Twitter battalions and tells them where to stick it.

And while there would be much noisy outrage as a result I guarantee their

sales would go through the roof because of the majority of ordinary people

silently cheering them on from the sidelines. Enormous social justice fail

on this issue. The fat positivity movement has raged its way through the

intersectionality Oppression Olympics for a number of years now it's even

prompted its own label for larger ladies. However there is a certain complacency

to the movement that most people find quite perplexing. That is the total

acceptance of obesity and the insistence that you can be healthy at any size.

Which is just false. Nevertheless the fat acceptance movement continues to bubble

away in the halls of social justice rearing its head occasionally. This time

it's in a video by the BBC which was circulated on social media. "Thin

privilege now it's not a mythical creature or something made up if you're

thin you have a certain privilege. To everyday tasks but a thinner person can

take for granted they can leave a plus sized person like myself feeling full of

anxiety, burden and upset. Feeling as though they don't belong and don't deserve a place on the Earth.

So, public transport. What a nightmare for plus sized people. Just think, can you sit in a seat and not be met with sighs. Shopping, can you go to

99.9% of the high street and shop try on and take an outfit away that very same

day and not actually be able to go and enjoy the experience of shopping.

Grabbing something to eat just things can you pop into a bakery pick up a

doughnut and sit them and then enjoy it and not

feel that you're met with stares or comment. I cannot do that. Going to the

doctors. Are you able to go be seen and diagnose what is actually wrong with you

or the appointment turns into a weigh-in session. Okay I'm sure most of you are

expecting me to say what rubbish I think thin privilege is and how this girl

should just lose weight etc etc. However she's actually correct in her

assumptions just not in the way she outlines it in the video. What she

describes are less the results of thin privilege and more the results of fat

consequences. There also struggles that are not universal to fat people I mean

I'm a reasonably thin person and I don't always necessarily enjoy the experience

of shopping because clothes don't always fit or look good no matter what size you

are. But she's not mistaken in her assertion that thin privilege exists. It

does. But it's more bound up in what I like to call hot privilege. There is

plenty of evidence to suggest that conventionally attractive people have on

average easier lives than those who are less conventionally attractive

especially in the case of women. And while it's unfair it's totally primal.

Our brains perceive beautiful people as healthier and in the case of women more

fertile which makes it somewhat easier for beautiful women to attract a mate.

Pretty people are also beneficiaries of the halo effect. That is their

aesthetically pleasing veneer influences people around them to perceive them as

funnier, more likeable and more interesting. They also tend to be more

confident, they perform better in job interviews and a seen as more persuasive.

In the case of being fat or thin specifically fat people are most

definitely at a disadvantage. Fat people especially women are perceived as lazy,

incompetent, unattractive, lacking in willpower and to blame for their excess

weight and also they're considered a genetic risk for anyone searching for a

mate. They are also less likely to get promoted at work and they are even on

average paid less than thin people. For example in 2016, researchers at the

University of Exeter found that a woman who was a stone heavier would on average

earn 1500 pounds less a year than a comparable woman of the

height. Overweight people also work longer hours, are considered less

qualified for leadership positions and are expected to be less successful. Now

I'm not saying that all pretty people have wonderful lives or that all fat and

unattractive people have terrible lives but on average it's clear that thin and

pretty people have a distinct advantage in all levels of society and as I have

said before hot privilege is the only privilege that matters because it is

proven to be able to give you a leg up both professionally and personally and

it also masks a whole lot of personality flaws. So this actually isn't as much of

a social justice fail as usual, just simply the BBC went around explaining

themselves the wrong way. Unfortunately I have talked so long about the first two

topics that we can't fit in a bonus topic otherwise we would be here all day.

MU69 is Flat, and No One Knows Why | SciShow News - Duration: 5:39.

[ ♪ Intro ]

On New Year's Day, the New Horizons spacecraft performed the farthest flyby ever,

zooming past an object called MU69.

It's a small, frozen rock way past Neptune,

and because it's so cold, it likely hasn't changed much in billions of years.

So scientists have been hoping it can teach us about the solar system's early conditions.

Except, we may have gotten more than we bargained for.

For the last few weeks, as the first images of MU69 have trickled in,

we've been looking at what we thought was some kind of primordial snowman… but we were wrong.

Last week, NASA released a new picture of MU69,

based on images that New Horizons snapped 10 minutes after its closest approach.

And after some analysis, astronomers discovered that our beloved snowman

is actually more like a pair of lumpy pancakes.

We've never seen anything quite like it, and it's throwing astronomers for a loop.

And it wasn't simple to get this picture of MU69.

At this point in the flyby, New Horizons was looking backward into the solar system,

and it saw the rock as nothing but a crescent of light.

A lot like with a crescent Moon, the unlit part of its body was completely invisible.

And the lit part was so faint that the photos had to have long exposures

to collect enough light to see much of anything.

But that also meant those images were really blurry,

which will happen when you're taking a long-exposure picture while flying by at more than 50,000 kilometers per hour.

To form this new image, astronomers stacked a bunch of blurry photos together

and processed them to get a sharper image.

Then, they traced around the region where background stars were blotted out,

which allowed them to outline the shape of MU69.

The team found that largest lobe was extremely flat,

and the smaller one looked a little more like a walnut.

And that kind of throws a wrench in things,

because until now, the early data coming in from MU69

have mostly confirmed our basic ideas about how the solar system formed.

The two lobes, frozen mid-collision, offered pretty solid evidence that, early on,

tiny, relatively round planetesimals clumped together to form larger bodies, including the planets.

But this flatness thing comes out of left field.

We've never seen an object this shape orbiting the Sun.

The closest thing to it might be Saturn's moon Atlas.

It's flat too, but it formed under completely different circumstances, in the middle of Saturn's rings,

so it doesn't help us understand how MU69 came to be.

So far, scientists don't have any strong ideas about what might have flattened these rocks.

But as more data slowly cross the several billion kilometers between us and New Horizons,

we'll continue to learn more.

Whatever hypotheses emerge will almost definitely shake up our ideas about the process that made MU69,

and the process that likely made Earth.

Objects like this can help researchers understand the past and future of our solar system,

but astronomers are also interested in a lot more than that.

On a much more massive scale, they're also decoding our galaxy's past

as a way to understand what's in store for it.

We've known since the 1920s that, unlike other galaxies, which are moving away from us,

a number of nearby galaxies are moving toward us.

They're part of what's called the Local Group and, eventually,

the whole thing will merge with other objects to form one massive galaxy.

But until now, the details of exactly how and when that will happen have been hard to pin down.

Then, last week, astronomers announced in the Astrophysical Journal that they had mapped

the motion of our two largest neighbors: the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies.

Along with the Milky Way, they hold most of the mass in the Local Group,

and their pasts and futures are intertwined with ours.

So studying them has given scientists the clearest picture yet of the Milky Way's fate,

and of its eventual collision with Andromeda.

The researchers used data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope,

which is about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.

Gaia was made to create a 3D map of stars that are mostly in our galaxy.

But it's actually powerful enough to peek inside other nearby galaxies, too.

For this study, the researchers identified thousands of individual stars in these galaxies,

then collected really precise data on their positions and motions, which, by the way,

is not easy to do: On the plane of the sky, any movement a few million light-years away is miniscule.

But it's worth it.

The useful thing about individual stars is that they can give us a detailed look at a galaxy's structure

and reveal how stars move around its axis.

The scientists were able to use the data to trace the paths of Andromeda and Triangulum

for billions of years into the past and future.

And they found a few interesting things.

For one, it looks like we're actually not poised for a head-on collision with Andromeda,

as we used to think.

When the two galaxies do have their run-in, it will be more of a shoulder bump,

where they hit each other from the side.

That doesn't mean it will be pretty though,

Andromeda is still headed for us at around 400,000 kilometers per hour,

but it won't be the smashup we expected.

The new findings also push back the date of that fateful collision to about 4.5 billion years from now.

That's around 600 million years later than existing models.

These results show that Gaia has lots of potential for exploring beyond the galaxy.

And the better we understand these neighbors, the more we can figure out about the structure

and evolution of galaxies in general.

Astronomy research can often work like a catapult:

The farther we go back, the farther we can reach into the future.

And from the edges of our solar system to well beyond the Milky Way,

astronomers are using that strategy to make sense of the universe.

I Ate The Hottest Pepper In The World And This Is What Happened - Challenge - Duration: 8:19.

The Carolina Reaper is the world's hottest pepper, clocking in at an astonishing 1.5

million Scoville heat units, which is a rating used to determine how spicy a food item is,

while a regular jalapeno clocks in at a mere 100,000 to 350,000 SHUs.

The pepper is purely manmade, as nature is incapable, or evil enough, to produce a pepper

so fiery hot, and is the brainchild of a former pot grower who began to use his knowledge

of botany to crossbreed peppers.

Competitions around the world challenge people to try to eat three of these miniature peppers

with an atomic punch to see who can down them the fastest and then keep them down.

But what is it like to actually eat one of these red-hot monsters?

To find out we tasked one of our writers with sitting down and eating one Carolina Reaper

and recording his observations.

T-1 minute

Sitting in front of me are two Carolina Reapers, the world's hottest peppers.

Allegedly each one of these tiny peppers has a Scoville heat rating of 1.5 million, but

the website these came from claims that some peppers can get as hot as 2 million.

Thats fantastic, and that's sarcasm.

I don't even like spicy food.

I'm not going to lie, I'm seriously rethinking my current employment status.

The peppers actually smell kind of pleasant, almost fruity.

From what I've read online, and I've done a LOT of research, they have a slightly fruity

taste as well.

I guess that's right before the lava kicks off.

The plan is simple: I eat the first pepper and write down what it feels like, tastes

like, etc.

I've done a lot of research on how peppers affect the body so after my initial observations

I'll come back and add what was biologically happening to me.

If anything goes wrong or I feel I didn't get enough from the first pepper I'll try

the second one.

Here goes.

T- 00:00:00

They're right about the slightly fruity taste, I don't know if chewing fast or slow is best.

To be fair to the experience, I'm trying to chew the pepper thoroughly.

Definitely starting to burn though.

Post Commentary: Chiles and peppers evolved capsaicin as a defense against unwanted foraging

by animals such as mice and insects, which would destroy the plant's seeds.

The capsaicin is thus released mostly from the membrane of the fruit as an animal's teeth

tear it to pieces.

T- 00:00:10

Yep.

It burns.

It burns really bad.

Post Commentary: The capsaicin binds to TRPV1 receptors inside your mouth which are designed

to detect heat and are activated by temperatures over 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 C).

The latched-on capsaicin however causes the receptors to be confused, triggering their

pain warnings with temperatures as low as 93 degrees Fahrenheit (33.9 C), which is below

the average human body temperature.

That means your own body heat triggers the burning response, which is what makes spicy

foods so unbearable- you literally can't get away from the burn!

T- 00:00:20

I tried to speak and I couldn't.

Swallowed the mashed up pepper and my throat is on fire.

Stomach starting to burn too.

Post Commentary: When you swallow a mashed up pepper the capsaicin triggers TRPV1 pain

receptors along the esophagus and the stomach.

This might seem an odd place for these pain receptors, but makes perfect sense if you've

ever hastily swallowed something far too hot for your own good.

The pain response is meant to protect you, and teach you to be patient and wait for your

hot cocoa to cool down.

Or to not eat the world's hottest pepper ever again.

T- 00:00:30

Sweating profusely.

Girlfriend looking at me weird.

My armpits are soaked and face and neck sweaty.

Post Commentary: The human body sweats to help it radiate excess heat, it's an evolutionary

adaptation that made us the top predator in the savannahs of our ancient past.

This type of sweating however is known as gustatory sweating, and is triggered by a

perceived increase in warmth brought on by the capsaicin binding to your TRPV1 pain receptors.

Peppers also have the ability to jumpstart your metabolism, and eating really spicy food

can actually help you burn a few calories.

The increased metabolism also drives further sweating.

T- 00:00:45

I'm not sure if I'm sweating or crying, maybe both.

Girlfriend looks concerned.

I am drinking soda, I heard it helps with the burning which is intense and everywhere.

Seriously, I think I might be on fire inside.

Post Commentary: Capsaicin isn't easily neutralized by stomach acid, meaning it can continue burning

for a long time before fading away naturally.

This can make the sufferer feel as if a fire was burning inside them, and the malfunctioning

TRPV1 receptors can actually start to convince the brain the body is actually suffering from

dramatic overheating, even though body temperature hasn't much changed.

This prompts much more sweating to help regulate body temperature.

T- 00:01:30

I finally remembered you're supposed to drink milk, so I scared the girlfriend by suddenly

rushing to fridge and gulping down enough milk to refill a cow.

I don't think its helping.

I burped and I swear it felt like fire.

I might be turning into an actual dragon.

Post Commentary: Typically milk, yogurt, or other dairy product is the preferred pain-relieving

drink of choice.

That's because milk contains a protein called casein which actually knocks the capsaicinoid

off the hijacked pain receptor, helping ease the symptoms.

Non-fat milk is recommended because of its higher protein to fat percentage.

Water is always a terrible choice- as is soda- as all that does is further spread capsaicin

around the affected areas.

T- 03:00

My nose has been running non-stop but I think I've stopped crying.

Hard to tell through all the sweating.

Girlfriend asked me if she should call the poison control center or a hospital, I told

her to call a morgue instead.

She didn't think that was funny.

The pain is incredible and all over mouth, throat and stomach.

I can't even begin to imagine what it will be like coming out the other end, except I

probably can because it's probably going to be exactly like coming in this end.

Post Commentary: At this point the pain is at its peak and you might start to feel lightheaded

from an endorphin rush as the body tries to do its best to block the pain.

Certain sexual fetishes that rely on intense physical pain capitalize on this specific

response to extreme pain, which is followed by an almost-narcotic high like release of

endorphins into the blood.

In this case however, no such release followed.

Just more pain.

T-00:10:00

I've been laying on the floor for five minutes now.

My mouth feels like that time I bit into a freshly microwaved hot pocket as a kid and

couldn't taste anything for a week afterwards.

I might not be able to taste anything ever again in my life after this.

I've dry heaved a few times which was a terrible idea as some of the mashed up pepper made

its way back into the bottom of my throat and almost made me puke for real.

Girlfriend won't talk to me, she's on the couch and angrily muttering the word stupid

under her breath every few seconds.

Nose has stopped running but head feels like it might cook my own brain.

At this point, I'd welcome that and the sweet release of death.

T-00:30:00

The worst of the burning is over, but my stomach is starting to cramp pretty badly.

I hardly ever eat spicy foods and I'm not fond of them at all.

I think the cramping is my stomach trying to tear itself free of my esophagus and rip

out of my body in a desperate attempt to escape the hell I just fed it.

I don't blame you, stomach, even if it does feel like you're carving me up with a steak

knife inside.

T-01:30:00

I left the floor about 45 minutes ago and laid down in bed.

Girlfriend came in and offered me milk, then angrily told me that if I got the bed all

sweaty I'd have to do laundry.

I'd like to stick my stomach in the washer right now and clean out all the bits and pieces

of pepper left inside.

Still seriously cramping, and still definitely not looking forward to what happens on the

way out.

T-18:30:00

I was right to be afraid of what would happen on the way out.

If the pepper coming in was Mount Saint Helens erupting, then it was Mount Vesuvius exploding

on the way out.

How do people enjoy this?

Girlfriend still hardly talking to me, told me my job was stupid before leaving for work.

Left a gallon of fresh milk in the fridge though.

I went back into the dining room and realized that the second pepper is still there sitting

on a plate.

I can't believe I thought I would seriously need two of these.

Looking at it now it's only barely two inches long.

How can something so tiny hold so much evil inside it?

This isn't a pepper, it's the fruit equivalent of Hitler- this is the Hitler and Stalin of

peppers.

This tiny little weird looking pepper isn't even a fruit at all, it's the shriveled up

testicle of the Dark Lord Lucifer, full of all the fire and fury of hell itself.

We here at The Infographics Show go to great lengths to answer some of your most burning

questions- err... pardon the pun- and today we were happy to put one of our writers through

eating the world's hottest pepper for your sake.

Cristiano Ronaldo celebration to Paulo Dybala's Juventus goal is brilliant - Duration: 2:30.

 Ronaldo has ben on fine form this season with 20 goals scored already. The £105m signing from Real Madrid is Juve's talisman

 His presence in the team has arguably had an impact on Dybala, who came into tonight's clash having only six goals all season

 The Argentine ended a 10-game goal drought in just six minutes against Frosinone, however

 Dybala picked up the ball from Ronaldo and slammed it into the back of the net from outside the box

 And it was Ronaldo's celebration that was most telling once the ball had crossed the line

 Cristiano Ronaldo is sometimes seen as a selfish player but his celebration for Dybala's goal proved his detractors wrong

 The 33-year-old punched the air as the bak found the net and then immediately pointed at Dybala

 The pair then ran off to celebrate the strike together as Juventus took an early lead

 Last month Dybala - who plays with Lionel Messi at international level for Argentina - discussed having Ronaldo as a team-mate as well

 "I am lucky enough to have Cristiano at my club and Leo in my national team," he said

 "But it's impossible to make a comparison between the two of them or say who is the best because they are at a level on a par with each other and well above everybody else and that has been the case for several years

 "They are different, they have enormous influence because they can decide games on their own and because of the effect they have on the opposition

 "Cristiano is an example to follow in training and in his daily life, you can learn a lot from him

"

Joy. Sheer joy," Boise, 36, captioned a serious of shots of the lovebirds standing in front of a snowy landscape after he proposed

A Free Education Should Be Free - Education is Power Short | Audio Described - Duration: 1:55.

- In North America, we assume that education

is a right and that it's basically free.

In Kenya and Tanzania it's a different story.

A child's parents has to pay for them to go to primary school,

high school can cost 300 to 400 dollars per year,

where the average salary is only $2.00 per day.

Education is Power is paying school fees

directly to the schools, so that that financial barrier

is removed, students are able to go to school.

- I would not have been in school, ever

I would have been employed as a house girl.

And even, I can also be married somewhere,

if the Education is Power is not there,

because my grandfather and mother

don't have the capability of paying school fees

towards attending school.

- Less than half of students

that start in primary school

are able to actually finish

with a high school education.

So you can see that there

is an amazing need to help.

By the end of 2014, Education is Power

was supporting 35 students to high school

and post-secondary institutions.

And now in 2017, we're

supporting 100 students.

- Education is Power is

helping these students,

and we hope that as time goes by,

we are able to raise funds to help our students

attain their educational achievements.

- We want to continue to grow.

That is what our focus is.

What is the cloud-native approach? - Duration: 1:05.

Cloud native to me means bringing the patents practices and technology that

were developed by companies that were really born in the cloud companies like

the googles Facebook's and Twitter's to enterprise and it's not just about

enterprise moving into this world where they're operating like an inner company

but they're using the same technologies that enabled organizations to meet

internet scale to solve a lot of the problems that have existed in enterprise

IT from the very beginning it can be characterized by a set of emerging

technologies like Linux application containers orchestrators like kubernetes

and micro service technologies like sto as being foundational pieces that that

form this cloud native computing approach but at the end of the day it's

really about changing the way that enterprises approach their technology

moving from a world where technology is static to a world where it's delivered

as a set of services and it can move at the pace of the business

East Africa and North American Students Connect - Education is Power Short - Duration: 1:08.

- Education Is Power, we believe,

in the importance of connecting East African students

with North American students through Skype.

- Basically got assigned a project

where you take photos of where you sleep,

what you had for dinner last night,

then Kenyan students show us their photos they took.

- [Man] That is Monica's bedroom.

- And the chair and the table,

that is where I do my studies from.

- I mean they ate mashed potatoes.

I mean we eat mashed potatoes here.

- Rather than looking at that map

on the classroom wall, you're able to see these

kids from where those countries are

and ask them questions about what it's like to live there.

- [Student] When does your school start?

- It starts at 6:45.

- What?!

- [Student] In the morning?

- So when I participate

in this video chat,

it helps to interact with other people,

to whom you have never met before.

- So you can learn about what's going on

on the other side of the world.
