"you are bad guy. But this does not mean you are _bad guy"_ is a simple way to explain this subreddit
“I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s nobody I’d rather be than me.”
Nice sploon Pfp :>
@@Kit_Marzipan thanks
yes
If I only eat villains, then am I truly the villain?
Cassandra was an oracle, who was cursed by one of the gods (I forget which, probably Athena.) To have perfect prophecies, but be seen as false by anyone she spoke to.
Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the wing guy. Flew too high, broke his wings and fell to his death
She was cursed by Apollo.
Melted his wings which were feathers held together by wax. That dumb guy
Cassandra slept with Apollo to convince him to grant her the gift of prophecy but when he found out she didn't love him, he cursed her to never be believed. Cassandra was later taken by that asshole Agamemnon as a "war prize" but when she predicted that his wife, Clytemnestra (Helen of Sparta's twin half-sister), and her lover, Aegisthus, would kill them both in revenge for him either 1. sacrificing their daughter Iphigenia to the gods before the war and/or 2. killing her first husband, Tantalus (not the one who fed the gods his own sons - that was Agamemnon's ancestor), and forcing her to marry him. Agamemnon didn't believe Cassandra and so the two ended up dead.
OP must have been thinking of the origin of Medusa when they mentioned Athena
I did say I forgot which one.
They do tend to blur together after a while.
Thank you all for the corrections.
Fun fact, The Jesse James who gave money to the widow to pay the debt collector and then stole back The money is where team rocket’s names come from - Jesse and James. Occasionally there where two other members that would show up, butch and Cassidy named after another outlaw called butch cassidy
And in the 5th movie "Pokemon Heroes" there's another pair named Annie and Oakley, referencing the famous sharpshooter Annie Oakley.
@@digifreak90 is that the one referenced in "Annie, get your gun"?
@@Scarlett.Granger Had to do a quick goggle search to find out, but yes it is.
Well that's why Team Rocket was carrying the anime
@@digifreak90 oh, interesting, thanks! So cool how much is inspired by actual historical figures.
Suggestion: Persephonian Task: A task that you originally thought you would hate and despise only to find out that you are not only good at it, but surprisingly enjoy it.
The take: Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and Hades fell in love with her. He proceeded to kidnap her to become his wife because this story happens in ancient Greece/Rome and that's just how things went back then. However, shockingly, not only did Persephone actually come to legitimately love Hades, she ruled over the underworld as his equal and, by all accounts, they had, by far and away, the healthiest marriage in Hellenistic mythology.
Not certain if it’s a modern retelling, but did hear a couple versions where she went willingly rather than being kidnapped; maybe to escape her overbearing mother
@@Nostripe361 That's a modern retelling... And is wildly inaccurate. By all accounts they loved each other. So much so that her being taken by Hades is why we have seasons. But yea... They loved each other.
@@Snowthree okay. Still it’s amazing that even nowadays people can reinvent ancient mythology. Just shows how fluid legends can become to fit a society.
Another modern retelling I found interesting was the one about Medusa being given her powers as protection after being sexually assaulted in Athena’s temple
Some other ideas:
Orphic Task: A task that's 90% done but which you know is never actually getting finished.
Odyssean Task: A task that will get done eventually, but only after years of setbacks and delays that you have no control over.
@@seanmurphy3430 You could call an Odyssean task... an Odyssey.
consider: Odyssean task - when the seemingly simple task takes a bunch of left turns and sidequests and distractions to finish, and it's not until you finish ALL the extra work that the original task can be finished
So, ADHD?

15:00 They are indeed references to Greek mythology.
A Herculean task references Hercules, who had to perform twelve seemingly-impossible tasks - but, strong and smart demigod that he was, managed to do them anyway.
A Sisyphean task references Sisyphus, who was so evil he was condemned to roll a boulder up a hill in the afterlife - except it would always roll back down when he almost got it up, making it an endless task that is impossible to finish.
The Icarian task references Icarus, who was imprisoned together with his father Daedalus but they escaped using wings made of wax and feathers. However, Icarus flew too close to the sun, his wings melted, and he crashed and died. The story doesn't agree with apollos-boyfriend, though, as the task was not impossible - Daedalus survived - and Icarus was just flying high because it was so much fun.
The Cassandrean task references Cassandra. Apollo was hot for her, she accepted some gifts and then turned him down, so Apollo cursed her to always give true prophecies that nobody would believe her. For example: she warned about the Greek soldiers being in the Trojan horse, but wasn't believed, resulting in the downfall of Troy.
Only correction I have, Hercules is Roman mythos
Heracles is the Greek equivalent, same general story, just, different name
Is that Daedalus and Icarus story actually true because I just recently re read through the Percy Jackson books and thought it was something that was either changed slightly or completely made up?
@@EtherWolf2459I mean from what I remember from mythology that's it.
Tho what does Percy Jackson has to do with it
@@EtherWolf2459 if by "actually true" you mean that it's really existing like a real mythos in the time/culture of ancient greece and wasn't invited by Rick Riordan who wrote Percy Jackson, yes it's true.
But i mean an awful lot of Percy Jackson stems from or references greek mythology
We could do acteonian task, where you finish the task successfully and then get disproportionately punished for something that had nothing to do with the task and you had no fault at/no control over
27:34 Although I agree with the rest of the post, medicine IS supposed to taste bad so that children (sometimes adults as well) dont accidentally eat medicine that could be extremely harmful in too large doses. Again, the rest is good.
Absolutely agreed here. The reason why medicine tastes bad and pills don't come in funky colours with smileys on them is to not encourage kids to mindlessly eat it because it tastes good. If a kid happens to find some bottle with sweet syrup inside you can bet your butt they won't just consume a teaspoon full of it, but rather gulp down the entire thing.
Dude reminds me of some melatonin i had that was legit good. Like put it in fruit snack pm good. Easily could eat the entire bottle if i didnt know what would happen if i did
That makes a lot of sense, actually!

the police shoot at Spider-Man just as much as the criminals do despite the good he does. Spidey probably is justified for this 😂
My family stole some trashy neighbors’ cat when moved out. We were the ones that mostly took care of her and the neighbors didn’t get her spayed. She got pregnant once but we never saw the kittens so we expect they threw them away.
When we were moving she got pregnant again so we just took her to our new house raised her and her kittens and finally got her spayed

This brings out so much rage in me. Part of the reason I don't associate with my mom's family is how they consistently treat animals. My uncle had a dog they constantly kept chained outside next to its doghouse. And when I say constantly, I mean they literally couldn't remove its collar when it died *because it hadn't been removed once in several years*. My grandparents acquired this beautiful, well-behaved Boxer. Lovely dog, well trained, kind to literally everyone (dogs and people alike), just all around a perfect pet. However, they didn't want to keep it, as they felt they couldn't manage an animal of that size at their age. Reasonable. My grandmother was asking around the family for who could take it in, and my dad (who has sworn to not let another dog in our house), even offered to drive from 2 states over and pick it up; it was that good of a dog. My grandfather, on the other hand, decided it was taking too long to get rid of, and drove it a few miles out of town and just dumped it on the side of the road with a small bag of dogfood.
This wasn't out of character for him, but it was a final straw for me. When we traveled for his funeral, I refused to attend the service. That dog deserved better than he ever did.
I'm pretty sure jack is chaotic lawful, doesn't make sense, like it shouldn't.
He follows laws, you just don’t know what ones
No, no, that's a legitimate alignment. Though, I am curious where on the Blue-Orange scale he is...
"A Chaotic Lawful character is one who would follow the rules and never stray from the system, but would abuse loopholes in those rules and make use of the system in unpredictable ways"
@@DraconicDuelist I'm pretty sure chaotic-lawful is up to interpretation. But I think that you explained it the best.
@@DraconicDuelist So, malicious compliance?
I often tell a lot of the kids I council in VOCA(Victory Over Child Abuse, a summer camp for children to heal from abuse) that the greatest act of rebellion to the world that tells you how you have to look and act to be accepted, is to learn to like yourself. Society wants you to be skinny, but not too skinny, tan but not too tan, etc etc so if you're such a rebel, tell society to fuck off and like yourself the way you are.
29:41 the only mark my friends and I left on our school was a dent in a hill by a playground. When I was in like 4th grade some of my friends started digging a hole at the top of a hill. It then became kind of a tunnel or cave. I could fit completely in it. The adults were furious and said it was dangerous. We didn’t get in trouble, but it was caved in. So it looked like someone had taken a scoop out of that hill.
Hermeian task: You're just the messenger, but due to its nature, you are in a damn hurry to deliver the message whether it is good news or not.
Hadeian task: The task of informing someone that somebody or something is dead
I would say “Mercurian” task, but Mercury is Roman.
8:00 it's not about having 'a better lawyer' it's about having a bigger firm with more lawyers who can bombard you with legal bullshit that doesn't stick but takes time and money to respond to that can just bury you in fees from your own lawyer/lawyers and if the other guy has way more money they can eventually bankrupt you or catch you on something you don't respond to appropriately
15:11 yeah, greek mythology
herculean task: hercules was a super strong demigod and challenged to do things that seemed impossible but somehow did it (the only one i can remember is slaying a hydra-) so a herculean task is one that seems impossible/incredibly difficult (but you do/will manage it anyway)
sisyphean: sisyphus was a guy who was punished by the gods for cheating death like twice(?) and forced to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity. as soon as the boulder got to the top of the hill it'd roll back down and he'd have to do it all over again. so a sisyphean task usually means a (often tedious) repetitive task that will never truly be finished (like laundry or dishes)
icarian: icarus was a guy trapped in a prison above the labyrinth with his dad (daedelus) who made wings out of wax and feathers to escape. they worked but daedelus warned icarus not to fly too low so the ocean mist wouldn't get the wings soggy and too heavy, and not to fly too high to avoid melting the wax. however icarus started flying higher and higher because it was so much fun, and eventually flew too high that his dad's warning did come true and his wax wings melted and he plummeted and Died.
cassandrean: a prophet cursed with having only true prophecies that nobody would listen to. ever.
The song 'September' by Green day is in memory of the singers father who died to cancer in September. In an interview the singer recounts telling his mother to "wake me up when September ends" after his father's funeral.
On the tea corporation thing:
It's not that you can higher better lawyers for that money, it's that on average the billion dollar company can push a lawsuit 4 times longer then the other guy, meaning eventually they would have to give in and the billion dollar corporation would win by default.
It's the same thing companies and rich people do these days against smaller competitors or people they don't like.
Monster Energy Drink does this on a daily basic. It doesn't matter if you make a drink, cables or a freaking videogame, they will try to sue you if you use the word "monster" in it! They tried with older franchises like Pokemon and Monster Hunter!

27:17 My family has done that with two kitties one owner was not giving the diabetic cat his insulin shots essentially killing him slowly. We had him for his last years. His name was Mowie.

"If you want to be villainous and overthrow the social order, do what Jesus would have done!" is a take I'm going to use in a lot of family arguments from now on.

To be fair, that only applies when you aren't being hateful by being a bigot.

Orphean Task: A task that is SO tempting to change one part, but you know it will fail if you do
Dionysian Task: a task you probably shouldn't do while drunk or high, but it'll be more fun if you are (and isn't dangerous to do while intoxicated).
We could do acteonian task, where you finish the task successfully and then get disproportionately punished for something that had nothing to do with the task and you had no fault at/no control over
Atalantean task: a task that should be easy, except it’s way too easy to get distracted
@@caltheuntitled8021 wait what, do you mean from Atlas literally carrying the world on his shoulders?
How's that easy but easy to get distracted?
@@Scarlett.Granger I’m referencing Atalanta. To get rid of all the suitors wanting to marry her, she said that she would marry anyone who could beat her in a foot race, but kill anyone who lost. She got rid of a lot of suitors that way, but one guy went to Aphrodite, who gave him several golden apples to distract her during the race. Atalanta ended up losing to that guy (despite being a much better runner) because she kept getting distracted by the golden apples he dropped behind him.
Thesian task- A job that slowly wears you down, replacing you with something else. Eventually you look back and realize you don't recognize a single thing about yourself anymore.

Golf isnt for rich people?! It costs $50 just to get onto the course here. And im pretty sure that just for 9 holes. Not to mention the price of clubs and balls. Disc golf however is practially free and a lot more fun.
15:10 Hey ive got one!
Odyssian task: Seems straightforward at first, but right when you're about to finish it, you get lost (at sea or otherwise) for a lot longer than anticipated
For the "Replace the grass with fake grass" thingy
While it could be done, fake grass needs to be replaced every now and then (at best every 10 years but since golf courses have cars going around, it would be way less), and since its mostly made out of plastic, good luck trying to do something about the crap-ton of plastic grass that a golf field would use.
This is ignoring that it tears over time wich means it might need replacement more often, and that it still needs to be cleaned so itll waste water either way. Also, it damages your soil which could lead to microplastics building up and causing the area to be infertile.
Basically, artificial grass is just a worse idea. In fact, i just looked up what is it made of and i got this:
"Artificial grass is made from polyethylene
polypropylene or nylon (polyamide), and fragments from this material can make their way into the soil, and beyond, in the form of microplastic pollution. The shelf life for artificial grass is estimated to be 10-20 years and the product is difficult to reuse."
15:00 herculean: making a webgame from scratch with no tutorials

cassandrean: the tutorials you've been ignoring
21:21 did they... did they censor the article byline? The part of the article that exists specifically to tell you who wrote it? The part of the article that intentionally, and with the explicit permission of the writer, names said writer? And is in no way any kind of breach of privacy that would require, or even kind of vaguely hint at maybe, possibly, needing a censor?
This is the energy I'm carrying into 2024.
Jack, how dare you, the Green Day musical SLAPS. I saw it on actual Broadway when visiting New York City, and saw Billie Joe Armstrong in one of the times he played a lead role. That was probably the highlight of that year in university.
I agree. Also Billie joe Armstrong is sos daddy
Re: "maximum threshold to how much a lawyer costs"
That's not the problem.
The problem is that the other side's lawyers will basically be entirely intent on wasting time and money to run the 'weaker' company out of funds to continue fighting and start digging into their bottomline. It's never about winning, it's about losing in the most expensive way possible for the other party.
the thing about the college student getting free stuff from a gang of burglars sounds wholesome, until he gets arrested for having all the stolen stuff and gets locked up because he can't identify the others, thus leaving them free and clear

15:00 greek mythology indeed.
A Herculean task refers to an incredibly difficult task, as a reference to Hercules's twelve labors.
A Sysiphean task refers to a endless task that is impossible to finish, as a reference to the story of Sysiphus, who was condemned to eternally push a large boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll right back down again when he reaches the top.
Icarian refers to the story of Icarus, when escaping the labyrinth with his father Daedalus, he flew too high and the wax holding the wings together melted, causing him to fall to his death.
Cassandrean reffers to Cassandra, a girl who the god apollo liked. When she turned down gifts from him, he got angry and cursed her to always have perfect prophecies, but no one takes them seriously or believes her.
Id like to add the Orphean task. A task seemingly simple but you will likely fail at right before you complete it, as a reference to the tale of Orpheus, who went to the underworld to get his wife back. Hades let them go one the sole condition that he never look back to make sure shes following him for the entire journey out. He almost makes it, but looks back right before the end, causing his wife to fall back into the underworld for good.
This brings me happiness
1:30 Damn, his name is really Jesse James??
Prepare for trouble and make it double.
I'm so sorry, I had to do it. . .
That's where they got those names from
7:00 If only Liquid Death actually tasted good...
15:02 you asked for references.
SO.
1. Icarus was Daedalus’ young boy. Daedalus had just finished building the labyrinth that was to be used by king Minos to trap the Minotaur, but Minos, in his complete evilness, refused to let either of them out, laughing about how they’d need wings to ever leave. Daedalus thought about it and said “hey, that’s actually a pretty good idea” and made Icarus and himself wings, binding feathers to their arms using wax (the wax part is the only part we’re sure of in this scene, nowadays). Knowing how easily it’d melt, Daedalus warned Icarus never to fly too close to the sun and just stay low. They decided to take off after everything was ready, but, euphoric from the experience and completely oblivious to danger, Icarus flew higher and higher as his confidence grew. The sun eventually melted his wax and, to Daedalus’ horror, his son plummeted into the Mediterranean Sea. Daedalus, heartbroken at the knowledge that nothing could be done for him anymore, flew back home but never built anything again, in grief.
2. Cassandra was (I know less about this one) a woman that was cursed with foresight- but nobody would ever believe her warnings, and once the events foreseen happened, the people involved would always assume it was her fault. One day, she gets a terrible vision: Troy swarming with enemy soldiers, the doors wide open and a wooden horse between (sounds familiar?). Everyone assumed she was insane and made no preparations, heeded none of her warnings and, when the day came, paid no attention to a large, wheeled, wooden horse being “gifted” to them by their mortal enemy. As she foresaw, the Greeks flooded the city in the cover of night, crawling out of their statue and conquered the city. As for Cassandra, I think she might have died, either that or she was never seen again.
(I just realized, Talon1124 already gave you the details. If you are reading this, talon, I had no idea you had already done this and did not mean to steal.)
Hercules/Heracles was a roman/greek demigod that was extremely strong. His myth revolves around completing several tasks, mainly through incredible feats of strength. So a herculean task is one that requires a great effort to complete.
According to greek mythology sisyphus was a greek king that was punished after his death to forever roll a boulder up a hill. But each time the boulder would get kind of high up it would roll back down. So a sisyphean task is one that you know is kind of hopeless.
Icarus was the son of a very smart engineer who was locked in a tower for mythological reasons. His father made them wings using wax so they could fly off and escape, and told him not to fly too high because the sun would melt them. But Icarus decided that it was probably fun to fly up so he did and his wings melted and he died.
Cassandra was a priest and fortune teller that was cursed to never have anyone believe her, even though all her predictions were completely accurate.
5:58 That might count as ethical hacking, so it might not be illegal.

8:06 Yes. That is exactly what happens. Prices go way up. Even if the skill gains are marginal, it can still be 100% worthwhile for companies that size if a slightly better lawyer or slightly bigger army of lawyers saves you a few hundred million dollars just once.
15:11 you hit the nail on the head there, they're all references to Greek mythology. A Herculean task is incredibly difficult or impossible to surmount, like the tasks Hercules was given were supposed to be. A sisyphean task is monotonous, boring, and neverending, as is sisyphus's punishment for having attempted to outplay the gods so often. Icarus had his dad make wings out of wax to escape a prison but flew too close to the sun so the wings melted and he died (hence having fun with a task you know you'll fail anyway) and Cassandra is an Oracle (a person of prophecy) who was doomed to basically have no one ever believe her words.

When you are being metaphorically given the gun and are told to make someone ELSE'S life miserable or else.
9:02 My ex and his wife take a lot of BS out on the kids, and he likes to lie in court until I present the truth via my evidence, and the thing that I do in all of our texts and interactions so he literally has nothing he can try to twist into something it's not, and so things aren't taken out on the kids, is being aggressively kind in all our interactions. I took him by complete and total surprise last year when I told him "Happy Father's Day!!" as I picked up the kids. Visibly seeing the confusion and complete inability in knowing how to act/respond is way too amusing to me. It also gives me a bit of sweet satisfaction and sense of karmic justice in knowing that, while we were married, his buddies and everyone we worked with and knew, were involved in his life...and the psycho devil of a woman with narcissism 10x worse than him that he married has ran off every single person he knew (including a lifelong friend) and taken away his entire support system, replacing it with every one of HER friends, and because of his thieving tendencies, he's no longer allowed to stay with his parents... He took away my entire support system, alienated me from everyone I knew, etc. This woman is a psycho, though. Literally jealous of not just MY kids, but even HER kids having a relationship with the man she married.. the man she wants to be their "daddy". My kids have (unfortunately) been exposed to their arguments at night due to their mobile home having little insulation and thin walls, so they've overheard quite a bit more than what they should have about her "mental illness returning worse" and their father saying things like, "you make me want to punch you in the face" and "if you don't stop, I'm going to make you stop" and hearing their stepmom crying. I don't discuss their father, stepmother, or my marriage with him with my children, but they'll tell me all kinds of crap when I pick them up. They've never had a good relationship with him because of how he treated me, and then the kids, and because they're always constantly trying to tell the kids that I'm this horrible monster who cheated on him and lied about how he treated me, and how he treated me like a "queen", but the kids are witness to how their father really is when they're there. I have no reason to say anything to him... He does all the damage himself, along with allowing his wife to treat and talk to our kids like crap. The most recent issue was that he lied and said I hadn't been giving him any of his visitation, along with any make-up time, and when I presented evidence going against that (that full years' worth of text messages showing he was lying), we were presented with having to follow the parenting-time guidelines set forth by our state instead of using our own break schedules of who gets the kids when and during holidays. He's mad because he doesn't have control. At all. I'm fine with the PTG's because it takes away his chances of saying that I'm not doing a, b, or c... I compromised more than I probably should have, but I also didn't want my kids to be able to ever say that I didn't give them that chance to figure out who he is on their own. They know. They don't want to be there. Over the holidays, he was required to meet me for exchange in the morning and again that night - on Christmas. He tried to bully me into doing 100% travel, stating that it was a "requirement" in the PTG's. He was wrong, of course, and met me accordingly. His response to me was "then don't keep wanting to go by the PTG's and instead work with me like we used to." I tried to.. but ya lied...and was caught lying. The judge seen nothing wrong in my responses to him, either. So, I think aggressive kindness is a satisfactory response to the a$$h0l3s of the world.
We should also have the Promethean Task, a task you perform knowing that regardless of the level at which you perform it, you will eventually be punished whether you did it right or not, so you perform it in a way that spites the people who will eventually punish you. (i.e. petty revenge, uninstalling useful systems you've put in place before you get fired, training your replacement incorrectly, etc.)
The best part of America's purchase of Alaska was that it only cost 2 cents an acre, we've found gold and oil on it, its a huge tourist attraction to this day, and its huge in the timber industry >.>

12:10 yeah, the bible-as-law slippery slope goes downhill real fast when you learn some of the things it says about child marriage/sex, slavery, and incest.
Perseun task: completing a task successfully, despite all the odds being stacked against you
24:51 I hate how much I always want to buy the anti-bot shirts. I've seen so many and they're incredible 😭
8:00 with suits of that scale (corp v corp) you aren’t just hiring one lawyer. You’re not only hiring a team of people, you’re also doing things like trying to compete for the best people (because law firms cannot support both sides of a case) kind of creating an auction, which when done between such huge corporations is going to make some pretty high bids. In addition, they’re probably paying for additional legal bills and fees because this case would take place in America and we love our pointless bureaucracy.
dont you mean pawyer?
