The guy asking questions was so much better in the second video. First he wasn’t a condescending prick, and he let them know when they were wrong, and finally offered suggestions on how to approach the questions without giving away the answers. Altogether better in myopinion..

As for privilege, okay. But a more interesting invisible population to me are those in tough circumstances who don’t get noticed because they aren’t problematic. They are in that first university too, probably glad at the chance to shine…

Boring. The quiz. But the presidents...I would just guess a random one too.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Yes, that was impressive. Maybe they are young enough to remember the presidents song. You might be able to pick him out from that. Forget the pop culture question. :lol:

What can you say when faced with such brilliance?

'Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era ban on bump stocks on guns'
“A bump stock does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun any more than a shooter with a lightning-fast trigger finger does,” Thomas wrote in his opinion. “Even with a bump stock, a semiautomatic rifle will fire only one shot for every ‘function of the trigger.’”
It carries the day for gun nuts and wannabe mass shooters.

I guess a repeater mechanism doesn't turn a semi-automatic into a machine gun any more than a shooter with a lightning fast trigger finger either.
