Seven figures while semi-literate? If you say so. The way you type is strikingly close to another clearly unwell poster that posted similar grandiose claims.

Yeah no, “you think they’re hostile because of an accent”? Please. The interviewer themselves says something to the effect of “I must say I think it’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask” which then gets him to ease up about it and explain himself. Either way, not hallmarks of a great educator, at least in that interview specifically. I think someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson would have handled the question in a better manner. Anyway, not worth having an internet debate over; especially not when you’re going to get downvoted for disagreeing.

I don’t really assume since Im basing it off what I watched of the interview and come to that opinion. He just seemed unnecessarily hostile/antagonistic to the interviewer when it came to that question. Being a “great mind” doesn’t really excuse it and detracts being a good educator imo.

Great video. I mentioned it in a discussion about the strangulation porn ban in the UK; specifically the “women strangled by a partner are 750% more likely to be murdered by said partner” statistic. Someone chimes in with “that sounds like a completely fabricated stat”. I have to assume due to the name that came after Dr. That magnet interview wasn’t particularly flattering either.

Did I suggest that was an issue, that I couldn’t? Yes, I could have nearly 50% of the screen taken up by two sets of captions, one functional and one annoyingly used to try grabbing attention. That certainly is an option. Better than the EA tier “what, you guys don't have karaoke?” though I guess.

Yeah, a social experiment to see if his views and click throughs increase. Leading to increased engagement.

That is done for timing, doesn’t do a couple words at a time and doesn’t flash on and then off of the screen immediately in most cases. What am I going to talk in time with whatever content creator? It’s purely done so people can see as much of what’s being said as possible in brief moments they scroll past/hover over the video while it autoplays without audio and to drive engagement. Not for accessibility or readability.

Not sure I agree with some of the assertion made there but regardless thanks for the reply. I look forward to checking it out.

Looks interesting, was AI used in any of this?

Whatever this image is meant to be aside. As someone who relies heavily on captions, anyone who uses this shitty, engagement baiting form of “captioning” can go step on an entire bucket of legos.

Unfortunately a lot of countries only want educated/skilled migrants and those able to work. Which is perhaps unsurprising given the current economic outlook. Some countries even skilled/working migration numbers are being reduced due to housing and plain old racism.

A lot of these migrants specifically lack skills to be able to contribute or effectively integrate in their desired destination. It is what it is, which is more depressing given a lots of countries that these migrants are emigrating from were fleeced of their natural resources for years and kept intentionally in various states of conflict and poverty to facilitate this. IOM sounds like it’s squandering money and failing to provide meaningful migration pathways. Which is incredibly unsurprising.

If they said that verbatim that is super unprofessional and highly inappropriate conduct for a workplace. Best way is to pull them aside and tell them in private that you don’t appreciate such remarks. Otherwise, in a functional workplace report it to a manager/HR. That second quote alone would be grounds for a review if not more. What a fucking psycho thing to say to a work colleague. It reeks of workplace bullying.
