00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,640
Hello.

2
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,760
I watched a pot until it boiled, but stuff still happened.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,560
So what's up?

4
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,560
A car crashed into a house.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,560
Sorry, a car crashed into the second floor of a house.

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,240
You're not supposed to park there.

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,520
That's not where cars go.

8
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,560
There's not a whole lot of information right now, but everyone's okay.

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,800
The drivers hurt, but everyone in the house was okay.

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,480
They were downstairs at the time.

11
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,360
It's believed that this was an intentional act, which wow.

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,600
And also they think that he ramped off a culvert and flew into the side of the house.

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,200
The 20 year old guy driving the car.

14
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,720
I don't know what was going on in his head, but vroom.

15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,240
That was probably was the vroom.

16
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,560
Hey, maybe don't use Zoom.

17
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,200
Video calling company Zoom has updated their Terms of Service

18
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,960
to be able to use all of your data to do whatever the fuck they want.

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,960
In this case, probably train an AI.

20
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,120
In their Terms of Service, it now reads,

21
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,000
Zoom may redistribute, publish, import, access, use, store, transmit, review,

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,520
disclose, preserve, extract, modify, reproduce, share, use, display, copy, distribute,

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,120
translate, transcribe, create, derivative, works, and process customer content.

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,920
Create, derivative, works is the big one, but all of those, they can take your video and do that.

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800
They pinky swear that they're going to ask for your permission before they do that.

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,320
Trust them.

27
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,200
They're only the ones that can change their Terms of Service at will.

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,680
You can't change the Terms of Service at will, but they can.

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Trust them.

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,360
This is not the first time that Zoom has had some issues with

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,760
customer privacy of information and whatnot.

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,720
If you're looking for an easy, lightweight alternative to Zoom

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,000
for just like doing a quick video call with somebody, check out Jitsi.

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,640
It's free.

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,680
It doesn't require an account.

36
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,400
It's peer-to-peer.

37
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,040
It's encrypted.

38
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,680
It's just, there's other alternatives.

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,800
I am not sponsored.

40
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,960
I just, there's other options out there.

41
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,120
You don't need to use the apps that you've already heard of.

42
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,360
Ohio said no, but in a good way.

43
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,120
Ohio had a big and random vote yesterday in the middle of August

44
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,360
to vote on a measure that would have made it harder to amend the state constitution,

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,040
among other random changes.

46
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Inconspicuously timed with the fact that there is an upcoming vote to enshrine

47
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040
abortion rights in the state constitution.

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,560
Ohio Republicans were trying to make it harder to change the constitution

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,720
right before abortion rights might have been passed.

50
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,440
But voters were like, hey, what the fuck?

51
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,320
They came out in droves on a random day in August to vote on a single issue

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,760
that was only on the ballot because people were trying to be nefarious

53
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,360
and leverage the apparatus of the state to harm the people who live there.

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,440
And so this measure failed miserably.

55
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,080
It was called in like 20 minutes after polls closing because it was so decisive.

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,920
Urban, suburban and rural counties all voted against this measure.

57
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,720
It was literally a measure that was made to just make it harder to do things with votes.

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Had it passed, it would have required a 60% majority for a constitution amendment to pass.

59
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,760
It would have made it much harder to even submit the idea of a constitutional amendment.

60
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,880
And it would have essentially gotten rid of the ability to correct signatures

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,760
on mail-in ballots that were found to be not good enough.

62
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,760
Just like, hey, we're going to make voting harder.

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,520
Vote on that.

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,520
Anyway, billionaires not only shouldn't exist,

65
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,760
but also shouldn't be able to influence our politics

66
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,480
because almost all the funding received for pushing this,

67
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,480
like the organization that was really behind it,

68
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,400
was funded by a billionaire named Richard O'Lean.

69
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
And he lives in Illinois, which is not Ohio.

70
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Let's talk about the Battle of Montgomery.

71
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,080
A dinner cruise boat was trying to dock back at their pier at Montgomery, Alabama.

72
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,080
But there was a pontoon boat in the way.

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,560
A dock worker went to the owner of the pontoon boat and were like,

74
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,400
you can't, you can't be there.

75
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,520
And they were like, fuck off.

76
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,280
So the dinner boat was not able to dock.

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,120
It was just kind of sitting there waiting.

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,160
And the dock worker was starting to beef with the people who own the pontoon boat.

79
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,760
He was like, you really can't be here.

80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,040
And they weren't responsive.

81
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,760
So he started to untie their boat because fuck those guys.

82
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,200
The group who I will refer to as the pontoonies ganged up on the dock worker

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,320
and started to fight him.

84
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,000
One of them started the whole thing with a running leaping punch at the dock worker.

85
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560
The dock worker then threw his hat into the air

86
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,760
as if to signify, you're all about to get a beat down.

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,120
And then it all began.

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120
The pontoonies were going after the dock worker.

89
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,800
And at one point it was like eight on one.

90
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,120
They were really like having a bit of an advantage.

91
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,040
But then their reinforcements arrived.

92
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
People ran down from a nearby street.

93
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,560
One dude even jumped off the boat, swam to the dock, got out and started swinging.

94
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,200
The brawl went on to consume the entire dock

95
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,680
and eventually had a whole bunch of people involved.

96
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,880
And all culminated with a dude swinging a folding chair

97
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,480
and bopping people in the head.

98
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,400
There is a detail I have left out.

99
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,640
The dinner boat was almost entirely black people

100
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
and the pontooners were entirely white people.

101
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,080
And the docks at Montgomery, Alabama have a long history

102
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240
of being a huge part of the slave trade.

103
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880
A bunch of belligerent white dudes who weren't supposed to be there

104
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,960
were blocking an entire dinner cruise full of black people from docking at the pier.

105
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,320
And they were so upset about that that they attacked the dock worker.

106
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,520
A lot of people are seeing this as cathartic because it kind of is.

107
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,280
It is a direct fuck around and find out.

108
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,360
But also, cops were there.

109
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,680
They just managed to not kill anybody.

110
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,120
Nobody died in this encounter.

111
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,880
It was scrapes and bruises all around.

112
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,480
And it was basically just, this is what happens when you're an asshole.

113
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,080
There's of course pearl clutching going on

114
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,840
because the guy that was swinging the folding chair

115
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,320
bopped a white woman on the head when she was already on the ground.

116
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,840
But she was involved in the fight.

117
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,880
And my understanding of street fights is when you get involved,

118
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,280
you best expect you're going to walk away with a concussion.

119
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,640
Weird how if you enter into an ongoing fight, you might get hit.

120
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Some people say violence is never the answer,

121
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,480
to which I would ask why does the military exist?

122
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Sometimes when dudes are being belligerent assholes

123
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,560
and go eight on one against a single dude,

124
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,640
they should get punched in the jaw.

125
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Just one man's humble opinion.

126
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,040
On this day in 1854, Henry David Thoreau published Walden.

127
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Walden was a memoir of sorts that covered the two-year, two-month, and two-day time span

128
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,440
in which Henry David Thoreau was chilling at a cabin that he built near a lake,

129
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,720
sort of in the middle of nowhere.

130
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,600
He looked at nature a lot and it seems like it was really nice.

131
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Basically, touch grass the book.

132
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,920
Lightning round. Norway will soon be finding meta about $100,000 a day

133
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760
for illegally scraping user data.

134
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,640
You can now entirely disable YouTube recommendations

135
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640
if you turn off your YouTube watch history.

136
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,920
The CFO of Tesla abruptly stepped down recently.

137
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,760
It was assumed that he was going to be next in line as CEO for the company,

138
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,040
but he's just gone now.

139
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,560
The ghost kitchen company that Mr. Beast is suing over the Mr. Beast burger stuff

140
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,160
is suing him right back for $100 million in damages.

141
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,360
Red Dead Redemption 1 is being brought to the Switch and PS4 slash PS5.

142
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,280
A 74-year-old man in Italy was killed by an avalanche of cheese wheels

143
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,960
that fell in a warehouse accident.

144
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,120
And finally for today, the US FDA has approved the use of an oral pill

145
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,960
to help treat postpartum depression.

146
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,960
This is the first pill of this kind as treatment currently requires an IV.

147
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,480
So this is nice.

148
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,280
Thank you so much for listening to today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening.

149
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,760
Head to StuffKeepsHappening.online for sources,

150
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,720
bonus content, and a cool breeze.

151
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360
Don't forget to leave a review if you do not mind

152
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,200
on whatever app you're using to listen to this.

153
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,400
It would help out a ton.

154
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,600
I really appreciate it.

155
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,560
My name is Endeavorz.

156
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,000
I'll be back on Friday.

157
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:08,960
Take care and be well.
