It's called the bill of rights fam 😂 that was the first patch, included 10 amendments I'm pretty sure 😂

I didn't realize that indigenous people in Australia were considered "Flora and Fauna" until well into the 20th century. But it's not surprising. Native Americans were not allowed to vote until 1957, which is crazy. And the Bureau of Indian Affairs is placed within the Department of the Interior, more or less adjacent to the Dept of Agriculture, still to this day. Since all matters involving Native Americans are handled by the same depts that oversee national parks, and agriculture feels a lot like classifying them as "flora and fauna" if you ask me.

Not that it's anything to brag about, but Native Americans received citizenship in 1924, and thus the right to vote. At least for the Department of Interior/US Dept of Ag, they're two different departments, not related. Although the USDA also does land management through the US Forest Service, its main focus is agriculture/trade/development. The Department of the Interior contains Bureau of Indian Affairs and a bunch of resource management agencies, including the Park Service. Agreed that it's a little weird that the Bureau of Indian Affairs is in that department, but it is something literally within the country. I think the only other answer would to have it just be its own separate entity, but considering the land management aspects of reservations, etc, it kind of makes sense to have it within the Dept. of the Interior.

15:00 The trans-atlantic accent was a speaking pattern that wealthy people developed specifically from upper class boarding schools. That homogenized environment that young wealthy people were part of their entire childhood and adolescence turned into a very specific accent. This accent would then be exposed to the rest of the country via them joining “the workforce” (white-collar or just celebrity work) as adults. It definitely trickled down a little to more middle-class people as they tried to sound more ‘cultured’ (wealthy). But eventually it fell out of fashion and now we just associate it with early-to-mid 1900s media (because the majority of people that were in those workforces were from those wealthy boarding school backgrounds.)

@@Boggythefroggy The tonality that is associated with the accent is partially due to the filtering of the voice via radio signals, but the actual speech patterns are necessary to properly recreate the Classic Radio Announcer sound. (Weird example but it’s the best thing I can think of): If you listen to Hazbin Hotel streams with the cast talking in character, Edward Bosco (original voice of Alastor) is speaking in a trans-atlantic accent, even without the voice filter that makes him sound like he’s speaking through the radio (as is heard in the pilot). Aka. If you speak through just a radio filter, it just sounds like you speaking though a radio. Speak in a trans-atlantic accent through that filter and you’ve got your sound.

It was sad as fuck because the people in there were desperate, the people working there were desperate (most of them donated themselves), and all the money just went straight up to price-gouged life-saving pharmaceuticals that people need to live but can't afford.

A good friend of mine is a public school teacher in Des Moines who has been donating plasma multiple times a month for several years now in order to make rent, and now in the summers works as a phlebotomist to get by. He told me one of the saddest days was when he was waiting to donate earlier this year and he ran into another teacher at his school who had been teaching longer than him and had tenure.

38:44 I agree with this so much. I moved to Finland about a year ago and the bureaucracy here is almost nonexistent compared to the US. Like the government officials I interacted with just believe me when I tell them something, I don’t have to prove it with a paper trail- I missed a deadline and called the office and they just extended it, no questions asked. It took me 5 days to renew my passport here (I mean I received my physical passport within 5 days). Of course the government isn’t perfect anywhere, but that antagonistic relationship Americans have with institutions isn’t something I would have ever even realized was antagonistic without living in a different country.

Not to be too dark but important to highlight just how dangerous egg donation remains today.

At a minimum there’s a huge amount of women who have donated dying of cervical cancer. It’s so tragic that women took on such risk to have their eggs wasted by a snake oil salesman

The egg thing (the faking of cloning section) - when the bosses ask for their employee's eggs, it's more than just "like taking blood," that's SA. Because, ya know, how/where they're produced. Like commanding someone to get a pap smear or smth. Even if they're not directly involved, it's fucked up.

I used to sell my plasma, and I think the reason people my have looked rough after coming out of the facility might be because they were cold. After donating plasma, a bag of saline is hooked up to the IV to replace the fluids you just lost. It’s room temp which ended up feeling extremely cold when it circulates through your body. Also, just to be clear, you do keep your red blood cells after the plasma is pulled out. As long as I was hydrated before my appointment, I felt pretty normal once the coldness from the saline wore off. I’m sure the plasma goes to a variety of places, but the facility I went to bought plasma for cancer research. The whole system is a little ghoulish, I agree, but I would probably still do it if I could. Since the needle they use is such a wide gauge, I eventually had to stop because of scar tissue build up. I still have scars at the entry points on each arm which is kind of a bummer.

this crossover has healed my soul

It's really interesting to hear about the blood banks after I just graduated from college where I gave plasma to get grocery money I dont plan on ever doing it again but it was an easy way to get some cash my roomates and I would often say were selling our bodies 😅 love the pod btw always interesting convos!

It’s wild to see the “tunnel” scars people develop when they’ve donated for a while

Yea as a college student I donate twice a week every week and make almost $600 per month, I wouldn’t be able to survive without that money, as that is about the same amount as my rent payment living in a crappy college student apartment with roommates. My roommates joke that our rent is paid by blood to our vampire landlord. Personally I’ve never really had any side effects from donating but I know people who have had bad experiences. However I do have these wicked scars on the insides of my elbows and I’ve had doctors, professors, and family members ask me if I’m using hard drugs because of the “track marks”

this was such a wide ranging conversation lmao what a fun episode!

currently working a night shift and yall the only people keeping me awake thanks a lot

I had never ever heard of sadboyz, but when scrolling through my recommendations and saw Boy Boy, I had to listen....

54:22 W means ten thousand in Chinese (wàn), so 50W is actually 500k I recently learned this!

This is about to be a legendary collab holy shit

This is 2 of my best KZread univestses in 1. I'm stoked.❤

I’m not sure if anyone pointed this out when they were talking about accents, but it’s not just other country’s accents that we struggle with. Have you talked to someone from Louisiana or Minnesota? As a transplant from the west coast, sometimes I can’t understand people in the Midwest, and it’s so wonderful. I love hearing different ways of saying things.

What Midwestern accents can’t you understand?? Most people speak with a fairly generic American accent with some regional bits added in.

@@franjkav Because I live here, I understand everyone most of the time. Sometimes there’s just expressions or words that stump me. Every time someone tells me they need to “wahrsh” something I have to remember that they mean “wash.” Even with my friends, I have to sometimes figure out what they mean with context clues.

I am so excited for this

“Do you have a defining reference? Like a movie or something?” This triggered immediate anger in me as I remember all the white people who said to me “oh, you’re Hmong? Yeah, I know all about that, I’ve seen Gran Torino” I have never seen that movie and I REFUSE to. My mom told me I have to watch it just so I can talk to white people better bc they will inevitably mention the movie to us.

Absolutely amazing crossover

25:26 that example of him doing whatever because he believed he was in an illusion reminds me of The Good Place, when they brought Simone into the afterlife, and she didn’t believe in it. She believed that she was in a simulation because of a coma or something, and she just did anything disruptive.

Shit, i used to live ON the delmar divide, Delmar was 40 feet from my backyard. Hearing a podcast i like talk about it is insane. But yeah STL is a pretty good representation of how America is failing its people right now

53:09 the simultaneous "yeahhhh" is just beautiful

I wish the Aussies never had to go back and could continue their media tour. So selfish of them tbh

When you are young you have red bone marrow which is flexible and increases healing. As you mature the red bone marrow is replaced by yellow bone marrow.

It's dumb but (A)lligator an (C) rocodile Mouth shaped A = crocodile Mouth shaped C = alligator

So sad to find out that Australia doesn’t have fences

Omg the xQc bit
