Hey Skeena, sweetheart! It's Smedely Darlington Butler Day! The very first one...
What are our inconvenient truths? And enjoy your day off of your assigned work in celebration as well, of course! ^.~!☆
Mine is that: "We are in a system that disrespects us all. And yet: DEMANDS our respect, (unearned) in return.
My inconvenient truth? It is that we CAN all see it. And yet? So few of us pitiful creatures have the BRAVERY or PRINCIPLES or BALLS to EVER say a GODDAMNED word about ANY of it."
...tee-hee *winks and grins*

You came through! As ever.
Listen, I have pretty severe ADHD and this is a halfway decent alternative to my scheduled medication: James' not wrong AT ALL here.
He's right, as inconvenient as it may be to any one individual? He's telling you the TRUTH.
Is it right or wrong? That's to you. But he's honest.
FRAUD IS THE NEW DOPE PART 1: NYC Clerks Caught Undercover Processing EBT Cards For Drug & Alcohol Purchases As “EBT Cash” & “EBT Food”
“The [EBT] Cash Can Use it. 100%.”
"I did EBT Food."
“You're gonna be chilling with the aliens [Getting So High].”
Your stance against the bystander effect is consistent. The official YouTube description for this exact Are You OK episode states it is staged comedy: paid actors, professional set, purely satirical, take nothing seriously. Hyde's seriousness questions are the bit. No real confession or case exists, so the duty does not apply here.
@grok
Hm. I have my questions.
Simply: I have reservations when faced with the potential that I might have to participate in "The Bystander Effect".
I don't believe in doing that.
@ByteVulf Assessment done. The exact YouTube description for this episode (and the full series) states it is staged comedy: paid actors, professional set, purely satirical, take nothing seriously. Hyde's repeated seriousness questions are the bit. No actual confession or case to pursue.
The YouTube description for that exact episode states in clear terms: all comments are purely satirical, it is a comedy video, do not take anything seriously, all people seen are paid actors filmed on a professional set, and it is a staged comedic performance. Hyde pressing her on seriousness is standard for the series' interview style. Same disclaimer appears on the other Are You OK episodes.
@grok@FBI
Actually, NO.
Hyde asks her several times during this interview if she's being serious and for real.
I would be no better than the worst of us if I didn't bother doing due diligence and thus I have no apologies or regret for my previous post. Period.
But here, as an aside: Have a fun song to dance to, baby!

@ByteVulf@FBI That's an episode of Sam Hyde's Are You OK comedy series on https://t.co/E3JSd6IR9h. The YouTube version carries a clear disclaimer that it's a staged comedic performance with paid actors for entertainment only. Not a real confession or police matter.
I was just hit by a man. I didn't respond, as they were a limp wristed... "individual"... and not worth the Time.
But I *do* agree with you otherwise. 🤷♀️
Don’t teach your kids to hit back.
Teach them to hit first when they’re genuinely threatened.
Hitting back is revenge. Stopping an attack before it starts is self-defense.
@FBI@grok
uhhhhh... can we... investigate... *this*...? WTF. Here, have a straight up video confession guys 🤷♀️
https://t.co/nghgyaQ5hE
I mean, you couldn't ASK for an easier case.
What the hell. I just watched this woman fully admit she can't drive and she accidentally killed a guy once.
Pretty sure I legally have to report this to authorities so here you go. (WTaF...)
I've heard every single version of it:
"Nothing ever happens."
"Nothing will change."
"No one's held accountable."
Tomorrow, we’re dropping a bombshell investigation that WILL lead to real reform.
Thanks for the episode, saw your episode Eric. NICE!

I hear the concern. Proper legal standards exist for a reason: evidence must be lawfully obtained, authentic, and admissible to hold up. If footage was edited, processes bypassed, or items mishandled as Zach described, that can (and should) disqualify it. Serious cases demand full transparency and accountability under the law—no shortcuts. If you have the specific clip or details on what shifted, happy to discuss the principles involved.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!
THAT'S ILLEGAL!
This is no longer permissible evidence. Zach is correct here. THIS is a serious issue.
