This shriveled raisin of a man is not only one of the most important characters in the
Fallout universe, he's also one of the most well-written in any video game.
That's because Robert Edwin House represents one of the toughest decisions you'll have
to make in a game known for its decision-making.
Even if you haven't played New Vegas, you should know by now that Mr House has his fingerprints
all over this franchise.
Why?
Because love him or hate him, this man, he kind of is Fallout.
Think about it for a second.
Can you think of any other character in Fallout's canon who is more responsible for so many
iconic images in the Wasteland?
The man is portrayed as the quintessential visionary.
1 part Steve Jobs, 1 part Elon Musk, and 2 parts Howard Hughes.
And I killed him...
Yes, I took a super sledge and barbarically exploded the brains of 261-year-old genius
who did so much for the technological advancement of mankind in Fallout's world it would make
any one of the people I just mentioned blush (if he actually existed).
I did it at the time because I thought that it was the right thing to do, and I'm just
going to assume that most of you agreed with me, since killing House is something of a
creative pastime in this community.
Look, I'm no moral authority, on this topic or any other, but I am going to invite you to
wonder with me today.
Did the smartest man in the Wasteland deserve to go out like he did, or did most of us simply
commit a crime of passion that will ultimately leave Fallout's world just a little dimmer
in the long run?
After 5 years of making lore videos on YouTube,
I've learned that it's best to avoid definitive statements.
For instance, calling Mr House "the smartest man" in the Wasteland just now.
I'm going to stand my ground on that one though, because while the Wasteland is home
to a lot of smart people, the closest characters who might match him in terms of intellect
would be the literal brains in jars at BIG Mountain, but since they donated their brains
to science before they were done with them, it can be reasonably said that Mr House is
the single most formidable human intellect in a post-war America.
You don't predict the apocalypse using mathematical algorithms, save an entire city from nuclear
annihilation, and live to tell about it a whole two centuries later unless you have
a very special brain, and Mr House knows that.
Like most of those who find themselves in positions of power, the richest man in Vegas
is inaccessible.
Throughout the game he communicates with us the player, but always at arm's length, using either
computers or his securitrons to issue his directives.
House can make a person feel small- 1) because he's a giant face on a monitor, and 2) because
he's kind of a douche.
"You aren't going to ramble on about the virtues of life out in the wastes are you?
They are however aptly named.
For that's what you'd be out there.
Wasted."
House's demeanor might be off-putting- his words insensitive- his mustache offensive-
but what happens when you put his actions under the microscope?
Is it enough to earn him the executioners ax?
When House resurrected Las Vegas from the ashes of the old world it was a ruin- picked
cleaned by scavengers and fought over by raiders.
With the city already a battleground he made alliances with the three biggest tribes and
drove the competition out.
For some, this is reason enough to force House to the guillotine, but if you consider the
fact that every other major faction has done the exact same thing in their respective rise to power rise
No, we'll want a better reason for killing Mr House in his home in Lucky 38, otherwise
we're essentially acting no different than those raiders we condemn and butcher on the
regular.
Maybe by proving he's some sort of evildoer.
Someone who uses his influence to violate the rights of others.
Well, that might prove challenging.
You see, Mr House is an old school businessman, and what makes him unique in the world of
Fallout is that he operates his wasteland settlement entirely on the basis of contracts
and mutual agreements.
You know in all my playthroughs of New Vegas, I haven't found a single character who works
directly for House and didn't sign on willingly- and the vast majority of his "employees",
as he calls them, are far better off for having done so.
The people who work for him can quit at any time, and whether you're talking about the
Three Families who were once tribals but now operate lavish casinos, or the residents of
Vault 21 who's bizarre story led to them integrate into New Vegas society- it seems
like this guy has never forced any person or group to work with him against their will.
And I'll tell you what, from a lore perceptive, that puts House a cut above most in terms
of wasteland leadership.
This isn't to say bad things don't happen in Vegas. Bad things certainly happen in Vegas and
House has killed people, but it's nearly
impossible to find anyone in the wasteland who hasn't killed to protect life or property.
Oh, and before we go blaming Mr House for the poverty found around Vegas, I'm going
to stop right there remind us that people only want to get into the Strip because of
what House has built it into over the years.
People outside the Strip are desperate because the wasteland is a desperate place.
Now, we can accuse House of not doing more to help those who are less fortunate than
him, but that's a whole different discussion.
If "not helping your neighbor" is reason enough to kill a man, then I think we're
all in trouble.
No, Vegas's biggest blemish isn't Freeside.
Instead, it's the fact that House gives his tribal friends way too much autonomy.
That's right, too much freedom.
Under contract, the king of Vegas isn't even allowed to step foot into his own casinos,
and neither is his robot security force.
This is what's to blame for all the shady things that go down on the Strip.
Even with all this taken into account though, House still might prove less controversial
than those looking to depose him.
It's almost unfair to compare House to figures like Caesar because
since taking control of the Strip, House hasn't been playing the game of wasteland conqueror.
By that I mean, he doesn't have dreams of an earthly kingdom or empire.
His head is in the stars.
"New Vegas is more than a city -
it's the remedy to mankind's
derailment.
The city's economy is a blast furnace in which can be forged the steel of a new rail line,
running straight to a new horizon.
What is the NCR?
A society of people desperate to experience comfort, ease, luxury...
A society of customers.
Give me 20 years, and I'll reignite the high technology development sectors.
50 years, and I'll have people in orbit.
100 years, and my colony ships will be heading for the stars, to search for planets unpolluted
by the wrath and folly of a bygone generation."
What I'm offering you is a ground floor opportunity in the most important enterprise on Earth.
What I'm offering is a future. For you and for what remains of the human race.
It's funny, House "plays" New Vegas like you would play Civilization if you were
going for a "science victory".
Interstellar colonization is the goal, and in that way, he offers a very compelling "long-term"
solution to mankind's current problem.
The problem of a fragile species on a fragile planet.
I feel like most of us end up killing House because we see him as a sort of dictator and
therefore a threat to freedom-loving people, but all sole-proprietors are dictators in
their own ventures right?
Remember, there's no evidence to suggest that anyone is "born" into Mr House's employment.
Working with him is completely voluntary.
I always just assumed that by siding with Mr. House I was signing the death warrant on Wasteland democracy,
but a vote for Mr. House doesn't necessarily mean a vote against a New California Republic.
Quite the opposite in fact. House's vision for the future, it's completely dependent on them.
And that makes him the single most power ally the republic has. Period.
During his dialogues, House might refer to himself as an autocrat, but he isn't an
autocrat in the way that Napoleon was, or Henry the eighth, or Caesar.
When I killed Mr House I wasn't dethroning a dictator so much as I was killing a powerful
CEO.
But wait, that's not right.
Apple's CEO doesn't command an army of killer robots… at least not yet he doesn't…
House has to be held to a higher standard right, because he's not just dealing in
bottlecaps is he?
He's dealing in human lives.
And this is where the scale starts to tip
in the other direction, because who's to say Mr House doesn't lose his mind one day
and decide to use his unchecked power for ill?
Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?
When I was a kid I ran the simulations, I can tell you for a fact that if a business
tycoon is given unchecked power and left to his own devices long enough- bad things will
happen.
There's a revealing moment in Fallout New Vegas where House slips and in doing so, shows
us his true colors.
The Brotherhood of Steel represents an organization in the Mojave that hasn't threatened, or raised
its hand against an independent New Vegas.
They do however represent something that Mr House finds abhorrent.
A stray variable.
A variable that if left alone, might tamper with one man's perfect formula for the future.
So, logically, the mathematician does what the mathematician does best.
He simplify his equation.
Unfortunately for the Brotherhood, that means killing every living soul in Hidden Valley.
People who stand up for Mr House will tell you that the Brotherhood of Steel were bound
to attack Vegas eventually anyway, so a preemptive strike like this one?
It's justified.
While we could sit here and debate the moral implications of preemptive strikes
I'm going to sidestep the issue entirely and just say this… the moment
House commits himself to an unprovoked attack- he ceases to be just another wastelander defending
his property in the interest of his employees.
He becomes something more, something that might be terribly dangerous if left unchecked.
Don't forget, this shriveled raisin was once the greatest salesman in old world America.
He does an impeccable job selling us on a dream of the stars; it's tempting.
House very well might be the perfect human specimen, but if you believe that humans are
inherently flawed, and that even the best of us falls short of fully reliable- well,
maybe unchecked power in anyone's hands is a bad idea.
There's a great quote from the British philosopher Alan Watts, and it goes like this:
By that definition, House is a tyrant.
Even if he hasn't committed a crime against you yet, the mere fact that he could and has
no accountability if he does, well- you can see how that could be a problem.
As another great philosopher once said:
So back to the original question.
Does the smartest man in the wasteland deserve the death sentence?
Well, we all have to decide for ourselves, BUT, if that answer isn't good enough for
you, the closest thing the Fallout universe has to any godly authority would the developers
who made it, and well, curiously enough- they decided to weigh in.
Apparently killing the wasteland's greatest mind won't net you good karma.
Don't be quick to mistake that for an endorsement though.
If you don't at least dethrone Mr House from his seat atop New Vegas, the game judges
you harshly for it.
The ending has Ron Pearlman straight-up accuse you of siding with a tyrant.
The decision to keep Mr House around or not will depend heavily on whether you think the
wasteland has room for yet another social experiment.
The game manual itself says as much…
Ladies and gentlemen that's it.
Some complex thoughts about a complex choice in a complex game.
If you did end up killing House, try not to feel too bad about it.
His little game of Kerbal was likely doomed to fail away because… well, ya know.
Aliens.
I've been Josh.
We'll catch ya later.

CNN 10 - January 28, 2018 | President Obama`s Last News Conference as U.S. Leader - Duration: 10:01.
Hi.
I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10.
Give us 10 minutes, we'll break down international news for you.
Thanks for watching this Thursday.
We're starting with report from the World Meteorological Organization.
It's part of the United Nations that studies climate.
And it says that 2016 was the Earth's warmest year on record since scientists started maintaining
temporary records in the 1880s.
Researchers say that 2016 was seven hundredths of one degree Fahrenheit warmer than 2015.
That was the previous record holder.
The U.N. organization says it used several sources like NASA, to come up with its data,
though one of them, the United Kingdom's Met Office says the temperature increase it measured
was within its margin of error, according to the BBC.
So, the record is not certain across all measurements.
One big factor in the warm temperatures was a powerful El Nino, a natural warming of Pacific
Ocean surface temperatures that affected the climate from 2015 to 2016.
But a scientist from NASA says greenhouse gas emissions, which are given off by human
activity, are responsible for warming temperatures in the long-term.
Because of the recent El Nino event has subsided, scientists do not expect 2017 to break a new
warming record.
Yesterday afternoon, U.S. President Barack Obama gave his final news conference while
in office.
It was likely the last time he'd speak in public as president.
A lot of subjects were covered, increasingly strained U.S. relations with Israel and Russia,
the relationship between the White House and the media, a recent move to reduce the sentences
of more prisoners than any other U.S. president.
It all came up.
And President Obama was asked about his successor, President-elect Donald Trump, and some of
the controversies he's been involved in.
The outgoing leader said he and the incoming one had had constructive and sometimes lengthy
conversations.
But Mr. Obama said the best piece of advice he could give to Mr. Trump was to rely on
others around him, as the presidency isn't a job that anyone can do alone.
I believe in this country.
I believe in the American people.
I believe that people are more good than bad.
I believe tragic things happen.
I think there's evil in the world.
But I think that, at the end of the day, if we work hard and if we're true to those things
in us that feel true and feel right, that the world gets a little better each time.
That's what this presidency has tried to be about, and I see in the young people I've
worked with.
At my core, I think we're going to be OK.
We just had to fight for it.
We have to work for it, and not take it for granted.
And I know that you will help us do that.
Thank you very much, press corps.
Good luck.
Ten-second trivia: In terms of when it gained independence, which
of these countries is oldest?
Austria, Morocco, Brazil, or Switzerland?
The Swiss Confederation got its independence from
the Holy Roman Empire in 1499, making it the oldest independent nation on this list.
Every winter, there's an international meeting in Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic
Forum.
It's an organization that includes politicians, businesspeople, scholars, sometimes actors,
basically movers and shakers.
They aimed to improve the world by addressing issues like poverty, conflict and the global
economy.
But the event has also been criticized as an elitist meeting that does more talking
than actual problem-solving.
Either way, the meeting that's going on right now is looking at the uncertainty of the year
ahead, like an investor or a skier might look at risk and then try to minimize it.
2016 was a year of surprises.
The word here in Davos is that 2017 could present similar challenges.
So, what are some of the risks facing the global business community?
Something that could take a nice outing and turn it into an injury, steady growth into
a global recession?
As the political and business elites gather here in Davos, 2017 could shape up to be a
year of extreme risks, and here are the biggest: U.S. going off the path and into the trees
where there's less visibility.
All eyes, if you will, will be on President Trump.
Will he blaze his own trail when it comes to trade?
U.S. involvement within the NATO alliance, and how about the U.S., for example, in the
Middle East?
How about Chinese moguls?
Economic relations with Beijing are always a little bit bumpy.
How tough will the moguls get this year?
Europe potentially going off a cliff.
One major obstacle here in Davos is the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the
resentment that's creating within the European Union.
There are major elections this year.
France, Germany and the Netherlands, and the results could push Europe over the political
cliff (ph).
So, I've chosen the ultimate route, slow and steady, hard work but less risky, with the
ultimate goal of avoiding disaster in 2017.
These are crashes are helping researches make drones safer.
These experiments are helping predict injuries caused by drone collisions.
Dummies are rigged with sensors that measure the force of a crash.
And determine if a collision will cause a neck or brain injury.
The research is key for drone regulation in the U.S.
Researchers are hoping to make drones safer.
Facing challenges concerning military conflicts, political opposition, foreign and domestic
criticism, security threats, not to mention governing a country, it is no wonder why the
American presidency is said to cause people to age faster, at least physically.
But does that necessarily mean that U.S. leaders live shorter lives than the rest of us.
It's that time again.
Time for news organization to roll out those before and after photos to show how much our
departing president has aged.
It's been dubbed "the White House effect" and it usually involves wrinkles and white
hair, or as Michelle Obama puts it -- My very own silver fox.
Maybe you've heard there's a formula for presidential aging.
A typical president ages two years for every year they're in office.
And there really is one reason, it's the stress.
No, it's not true.
They do not age at twice the normal rate.
Longevity expert Professor J. Olhansky disputes Dr. Michael Roizen's formula.
Perhaps the graying of the hair and wrinkling of the skin may grow more rapidly as a result
of stress, but it's certainly not shortening their lives.
Professor Olhansky says research shows presidents live way longer than regular citizens.
Sure presidents look like they're going downhill in photos.
But guess what?
If you take a picture of anybody eight years apart, you're going to see the same changes
in the rest of us as you see in the presidents.
MOOS (on camera): Really?
So what?
That's me eight years ago.
Do you think the grueling life of a TV humor reporter has taken a toll?
Wonder how long it will take 70-year-old Donald Trump's hair to change shades once he's president.
Though Michelle Obama seems immune from the White House effect --
The only way to date her in photos is by looking at me.
Here we are in 2008, here we are a few years later and this one is from two weeks ago.
So, in all fairness, how about the aging of a CNN STUDENT NEWS and now, CNN 10 anchor?
Is age just a number?
Certainly, an age old question, which is itself a popular adage.
Whatever you think, the only thing I'll tell you about my own age is the same truth I would
have told you eight years ago -- I'm older than your brother but younger than your dad.
Spend another 10 minutes with us tomorrow.
We've got a special edition set up looking at the U.S. presidential inauguration, specifically
the all-important oath of office.
I'm Carl Azuz.

The BIGGEST Perch I've ever caught! - Floattube Sessions #7 - Duration: 5:58.
Good morning

We're going to try to catch a zander in the Belly boat
Just a couple of hours of fishing...
...to see if we can catch a fish
We're fishing with softbaits on the shallow, casting, vertical style...
Let's see if we find some fish
Let's go
Number 1 for Anja
A beautiful zander
that wants to go back!
Nice! - Yes!
Oooh big perch!

No way!
Woow! Nice Anja!
We just go to land...
...to measure it and take some pictures
No way! I thought this is a nice zander..!
No it's a very big perch
How cool, what an amazing fish
Very beautiful!
I think this is the thickest perch I've ever caught
I'm so happy!
Let's take the measurements
How big was it?

And then we'll put it back again!
Yes
Amazing perch, I have just weighed it
2 kilo and 320 gram!
2,32 kg...
I'm now going to measure the length, that's hard in the float tube...
...so I stepped out of the boat and put the measuring tape...
...in my boat
so it can lay down flat nicely, Yes this is a 50+ fish!
Look, mouth against the bar...
...and I think we can say it's 52 cm!
And do you know what that means...?

(crazy excited fisherman scream)

Woah, I will show it again on video

All undamaged, even the dorsal fin and all
Very nice, good fat belly
Yes very nice. Let's make some pictures...
..and then we let this one swim again
Yes my new PB perch...
...can swim back
it wants to go
I don't want to let go because he is so nice
There he goes
Unbelievable, new PB! So nice!
So that was it for today!
Just a couple of hours of float tube fishing
We thought we would go out and catch some zanders...
...Anja did so with a nice zander...
...but still in this pretty murky water, two beautiful perches found our lures
Of which my new PB =)

Woke up at 5:00 and couldn't sleep anymore
Back in bed and I had an idea...

Grabbed the cel to check sunrise time for today...

We could make it... if the sky is clear
Woke up Iris and invited her to our boxseat in our patio...
(BTW, music is by the Moody Blues - The Day Begins (1967), from the groundbreaking Album: "Days of Future Passed")
This is supposed to be the sun, people. The Google Earth sun.
This is the real one
The background noise is from the waves below
After the show we went down to be the first on the beach
The chairs are the hotel's
Looks like another tough day
Our room on the 12th floor
The same room Paul and Ringo stayed in in 1964
Then we went shopping...
For Iris's son's iphone
Miami Beach
Look at this amazing picture I took through the store window

Knights in Need - Crowdfunding - Duration: 2:34.
We are the Guardians of Zagreb.
A historical reenactment group located in Croatia.
Our order is made up of people of all ages and professions from
students of history and philosophy to medical workers, professors, veterinarians,
archaeologists and graphic designers.
All of us share one common trait that's brought us together:
the love for days past, for history and lost trades.
We want to transfer that interest to other people and the younger generations.
That's why we make it possible for children and adults to experience life in the Middle Ages,
to learn more about history, old skills and trades.
Our workshops encompass calligraphy, heraldry, dance, swordsmanship, archery and many more.
We participate in historic reenactment fairs and tournaments around Croatia and Europe.
We work with local tourist boards on historic events,
with schools to make teaching history more fun.
We act in documentaries and promotional videos, and we run historical events of our own.
We're an independent order, which means that were funded only by our
membership fees and our activity on the scene.
Everything we do is done from the heart
and in our spare time - after our day jobs and before our night shifts.
Everything we need we pay for ourselves from our own private resources
or we make with our own hands.
We make most of our own clothing, equipment, armour and furniture
according to existing historical evidence.
We often travel long distances carrying large amounts of valuable handmade equipment and so far
we've been very well served by our faithful secondhand van.
Sadly, our steed's broken down and the time has come for it to retire.
And that's why we need your help...
However much we manage to save or collect from our members and our engagements
it's not nearly enough for a new van and without a van
we won't be able to do our best because, well...
being a modern knight is no easy feat.
Literally.

Spina Bifida and Dating... Is It Possible? | CC - Duration: 15:45.
Hi everyone! I'm back again with another video and
Today's video is going to be relationships involving
spina bifida and I'm doing spina bifida specifically
video. So, uh a few days ago or about a week or two ago
probably now my friend - she has a Facebook page
for people to like give me topics and talk about in the
spina bifida video. And that was one of them. So, that is
what I'm doing today. Also, I did a poll kind of situation
on my Instagram. And I just asked what kind of videos
people wanted to see snd a lot of them said Spina Bifida
related. So, that is what I'm doing. This video will be split
into different sections. So, if you - because there are five
So, if you want to just look at a certain topic or if it's just
a certain topic that interests you more then you can do
that. Um, all of the topics and everything will be listed in
the description with a like time guide for you guys to
will be a longer video I'm gonna try to make it as short as possible but I beat
you to the top claw and there's a lot of time a lot to talk about I cannot speak
today so yeah anyway request videos down below if you have any video requests and
don't forget to subscribe on my Jesus don't forget to subscribe and follow me
on all of my social medias as well which will be listed below on at the end of
the video so let's go ahead and get started
okay now I have everything listed as far as every topic that I'm gonna talk about
I have it listed on the top right here so you see me looking over that would be
why so about the first topic is what is fun with it so I'm gonna try to kind of
explain it to you guys there are three types which I'll go over in a minute but
there are three types is fun definite and just like any other disability or
condition it does affect everyone differently so that's an important thing
to realize as well let's find out what it basically means where again it's
gonna affect everyone differently but basically in a nutshell kind of
situation it is basically where the spine and the spinal cord you're not
formed correctly and the spine does not the spinal cord isn't completely
protected with skin therefore it creates what's called a spinal sac which has
cerebral spinal fluid in it and that basically has all of the nerves and
everything because the back was not fully closed correctly to inform
correctly so that's kind of an initial what spina bifida is if you want any
other information I will include some links down below and also the exact
definition probably right here somewhere curious about the actual definition okay
- no it's the ones topic -
topic 2 is when do you tell your partner you have it and this is probably the
main point of the video but I do have a couple of things that I wanted to talk
about so the first thing is to start slow now this is gonna depend on from
person to person now your preference of when you tell them it's completely
different so it's gonna be completely different than who you know a different
person obviously everyone is different so it's kind of kind of depend on what
you want to do specifically and what works best for you in terms of when you
tell them but I would start slow I wouldn't because if there's a lot of
information to kind of take in all at one time so I would kind of ease into it
I wouldn't necessarily hide it which is my next point not to hide it but I I
would not just you know spit everything out at once because again it's a lot of
information to go through and the process especially when you know if that
person knows nothing about it it's a lot of information to kind of gather all at
one time so start slow you know don't don't rush
into it take things slow and you know pace yourself my next one is don't hide
it and I mentioned this a minute ago but you don't want to hide it because
ultimately you need to make sure that they are aware of it because if this is
going to be a long-term relationship you need to make sure that they're prepared
preparedness is probably the most important thing you know you want to
make sure they're prepared for what's gonna happen what may be extra medical
things you have to do because of it and how it affects you because it affects
everyone different so turn that to hide it if you can't you know your preference
of win now this is another big one because just because you know you might
want to tell some right off the bat doesn't mean somebody
else with it so it's important to not everyone is very comfortable with with
their condition as far as you know certain things and it may entail so it's
important that you are confident in your disability or condition whatever you
want to call it and also that you are comfortable with what you tell them no
this doesn't mean that you have to tell them all at once yeah you can tell them
certain things are comfortable with up until you know you get comfortable with
the person if that is your preference but it is very important that you know
what your preference is as far as when you tell that person you know don't feel
like you have to rush to tell them just do it at your own pace my personal
opinion would be to tell them right away but understand that does not work for
everyone so like I said you know you don't want to feel rushed to tell them
but my personal opinion would be to tell them right away so that they have time
to be prepared as the relationship goes on but that's not everyone's preference
and that is completely okay what is not okay is hiding it I don't agree with
hiding it or thinking oh you know I'm not gonna tell this person until years
later or months later I do think that it's something that they need to know
not right right away but it is something that you need to keep in the back of
your mind to tell them eventually because it is something that you know
like I said if this plan is to be long-term relationship that you need to
make sure that they are prepared my next one is encouraging to do their own
research now when I say this it means you know again it can be a lot to take
in at once and so you I would encourage them to look up certain things if they
can because I think you know them doing their own research they can do it at
their own pace they can look up certain things or not that they're curious about
or that you may not be able to explain it very well and they can get it in
of how they understand it you know they can do specific research that you may
not be able to do because you're not them you know everyone understands
things differently and so I think encouraging them even though it may be
scary I think encouraging them to do their own
research will help because again like I said they can kind of do it at their own
pace and find a way that works better for them in a way that they can
understand it so topic number three is help though understand so what I mean by
that is explain what the condition is and how it affects you so like I
mentioned earlier it affects everyone different not everyone is going to be
affected the same so it's important that you you know you need to kind of
understand and help them understand what your condition is specifically and how
it affects you because the more knowledge they have the better they can
help you explain things like extra things you have to don't need help doing
so if you need help showering if you need help getting dressed or getting in
your chair that sort of thing it would be a good time to explain not to them as
well again the more they know the more they
can help explain your level it was fine enough and I know some people may not
know this and say you may have to do a little bit of research to figure it out
because it is kind of confusing at least it is to me but it's important that you
know the type and the level of your of the defects that you have because that
way you can you can also better understand it but also they can
understand it a little bit better as well because again like I keep saying
the more knowledge they have the better they can help now we're going to want to
talk to number four topic topic number four is be prepared for confusion and
yeah be prepared for them being confused understand that your partner that if
this may be the first time that they're hearing about it and they may be
confused it's most likely that's going to happen and it's nothing wrong with it
they just may be never heard of it before and this is a
good time to educate them and you know educate them as much as you can and
again like I said earlier make sure that they can do their own research but it is
also important that you try to educate them as much as you can that way they
can help you and kind of get a better understanding of what may lie ahead
another one is answer any questions they have as honestly as possible again not
everybody is comfortable with answering certain questions like bathroom
situation or showering things like that those are my personal topics that you
can discuss later on but I do encourage you to be as honest as you feel
comfortable being because the more that you can be honest with them it helps
them prepare for what might happen later you know for example if he helped with
showering they can be prepared for that for when you guys move in together or if
something was to happen they would already know what to do because they
would be prepared next is or educate them as much as possible so again it
goes along with them being prepared if they're educated they're most likely
gonna be more prepared for things so I would educate them as much as you know
and what you don't know you can do your own research with now we're going to
move on to topic number this is a last topic of this video so topic number five
work together a relationship between two able bodied people is hard enough so
what you need to be patient you know like I said earlier and they may not
have heard of the disability before you know there's people that have never
heard it before and it's completely fine but you need to make sure that you're
patient you know if they ask a hundred questions at once you know be prepared
for that and be patient when it happens you know because they're probably scared
and have no idea what it is or maybe we just have just curiosity question that
happens you know and so try not to be too frustrated with it
try to be as patient as you can with them because it's an adjustment for you
as well for them so try to be as patient as you can don't get frustrated with
your partner they cannot take care of you right away they have to be taught
now what I mean by this is simply what I says if they've never heard of the
disability before they might not know anything about it therefore they don't
know how to help you so again it goes along with educating them I know I'm
repeating myself but they kind of all go hand-in-hand if you think about it you
know because if you explain to them and teach them you know how things that you
have to do differently such as help getting dressed or if you have a certain
medical routine such as medications you have to take daily you know a cat things
scheduled those types of things it's gonna take a little bit for them to be
taught that and for them to get used to it so we can be patient
you know they're not robots they don't come programmed with these things so
it's important that you're as patient as you can be and try not to get frustrated
I know what is frustrating but try to be patient yeah because they're learning to
it's an adjustment for you as well as it is for them so
just be patient next is communicate now communication is probably the key to any
relationship but it's also what if you're not able bodied and you know
don't be afraid to speak up you know if they're doing something that you don't
like or they're not doing something that you need done the correct way don't be
afraid to say something you know they may get frustrated or upset but at the
end of the day it's you that matters it's the it's you that needs to care not
them they're just eating you in it you know so in at the end of the day it's
you that needs the care and it's important that it's done right so that
both of you can be held as healthy and happy as possible so I hope these tips
helped you and I hope that this video helped you if you have any further
questions or anything that you would like a specific topic any video requests
that you have of a specific topic that you would like me to include in my next
video go ahead and leave a comment for me down below and I'll research
everything and it may I may just ear tradition but yeah so thank you for
watching and if you have any other comments questions or requests go ahead
and leave it below and I'll see you guys next time bye

Dennis Prager: "I Was Wrong. Donald Trump Is a 'Great President'. - Duration: 4:11.
Dennis Prager: "I Was Wrong.
Donald Trump Is a 'Great President'.
"My opposition to Donald Trump was wrong," said Dennis Prager, describing Donald Trump
as a "great president" whose political successes are connected to a disregard for
the left-wing and partisan Democrat news media narratives.
Prager's comments came during Thursday's episode of his eponymous radio show.
While Prager has said that Trump was his last choice during the Republican primaries, he
supported him vigorously in the general election against Hillary Clinton.
"The only way to govern [while advancing] the principles of conservatism," said Prager,
was to disregard left-wing and partisan Democrat agitation pushed across the news media landscape.
Prager said:
I was wrong.
My opposition to Donald Trump was wrong, in retrospect.
I was wrong.
I had friends who supported him, and I didn't understand them.
I said, "Are you not aware of what he said about John McCain?
Isn't that enough to disqualify the guy?"
They perceived in him what I did not perceive in him, that these over-the-top statements
– as objectionable as the statements themselves may be, and none of them defended the statements
– nevertheless, what they perceived was accurate: a man who doesn't give a damn
about what the press says about him.
That is the only way to govern.
It is the only way to advance the principles of conservatism in the United States is to
not give a damn.
"[Donald Trump] is so much better a president than Mitt Romney would've made," said
Prager, describing Romney as "tepid" and concerned with appealing to news media outlets
such as The New York Times.
A president's actions are a more important metric of presidential success than a president's
demeanor, said Prager:
Would I like Donald Trump to have Mitt Romney's temperament, or for that matter Barack Obama's
temperament?
Yeah.
So what?
I would like a whole host of things.
People are packages.
What a president does is more important to me than a president's demeanor.
He is so much better a president than Mitt Romney would've made.
Mitt Romney would've awakened every day to read The New York Timeseditorial page to
see how he's covered.
Mitt Romney gave us Romneycare in Massachusetts.
I campaigned for Mitt Romney, he would've been a better president [than Barack Obama].
Any Republican is better than any Democrat, that's just the way it is.
Having said that, Romney would've been a tepid president.
Nothing comparably conservative compared to Donald Trump.
Concerns with a president's demeanor should be secondary to broader analyses of a president's
impact, said Prager.
"He has turned out to be a great president with big communication flaws, in the way he
tweets and some of the things he says and his temperament," said Prager.
"My temperament is the opposite.
I love dignity.
I love understatement.
Okay, so be it.
So what?
I'm not sure I'd be as good a president as he.
How do you like that?
That's how good he's been."
In April of 2017, Prager invited ostensibly conservative NeverTrump news media figures
to celebrate Trump's presidency.
"Do conservatives — or non-leftists, for that matter — appreciate just how terrific
Donald Trump has been as president?" he asked.
"And how lucky we are that he won the presidency?"
"What I do know is that they ought to be deeply appreciative of him, and deeply grateful
for luck or providence, and certainly for Trump himself, that he was elected president,"
continued Prager.
"First, it is unlikely that any other Republican would have defeated Hillary Clinton.
Second, he has not only surpassed many of our expectations but also thus far governed
in a manner more consistent with conservative principles than any president since Ronald
Reagan, and arguably Calvin Coolidge."
