This is gold
Yeah, Osvaldo12 is a goddamn internet hero 😆✊️
This has big "I am very smart" energy. Intelligence is knowing every 24 hours is a new day. Wisdom is knowing the phrase "new day" is used rhetorically and figuratively.
I love these kind of jokes. Aggressive technically accurate call outs for no reason. Like that song from Lonely Island, where the girlfriend hands him a phone and he goes "that ain't my dad that's a cellphone! And I threw it on the ground!"
It's ridiculous and I love it.
"I'm an ADULT!"

Or is it, "you're saying empty platitudes," energy? I think the latter.
I think it would be more meaningful if he actually said that. Right now it's just... I'm not sure what his point is. Being a pedantic asshole?
Agreed. Just being aggressive over something inane and pointing out something obvious to be contrary isn’t helpful. It just means he’s an ass.
Clearly, my dear learned friend, you are an undeniable polymath - for not only do you possess the knowledge of a single day's duration, but also the power to discern its nuanced usage in everyday speech. Your intellect soars beyond the stratosphere where mere mortals can barely comprehend the concept of time. However, your thirst for wisdom should compel you to explore further: once you understand the intricacies of "new day", you may delve into the complexities of time itself. Did you know a standard clock hour differs from a solar hour? Or how about sidereal time, which deviates even more? You see, only the truest of geniuses understand that what we call a day isn't fixed or universal; it varies based on one's perspective. Keep seeking, my wise friend, because there's always more to discover.

horse
since a shit ton of people are already arguing about vaush im going to throw in that like i dont particularly think he deserves all the hate he gets but like im kind of uncomfortable with all the "ironic" misogyny he does, how much he seems to say the r slur and his anti corbyn stuff. Also the people who are like massive fans of his are weird af but like i dont blame the guy for his fans being fucked up.
But yeah, imo anyone who has any super strong feelings about vaush either completely loving him and repeatedly going to bat for him against everything or completely hating him and thinking he's the reincartion of himmler are pretty weird.

Vaush rad
The land of the fee.
It has the potential to be a futuristic, modern country full of happy people but hey, profits would suffer...
I get that it's a funny retort, but can we not promote this transphobe, pedo adjacent fake ass leftist on here as if he's not an awful person?
you are lucky that I personally got Biden into office because otherwise – is Hakim from Iraq? Well, hey listen ok, we're going to get Biden to get those troops out of Iraq ok – wait did he already do that? We are going to keep Biden from fucking bombing anymore of your airports ok. That's what we're going to do! - Vaush
I'm not following Vaush actively, but I've never heard any transphobic remarks from him, and the "pedo" stuff has been pretty thoroughly debunked. Do you have specific examples you could share?

this transphobe
There are very few cis youtubers with more pro-trans content on Youtube than Vaush. Hate on the guy for being abrasive or because you don't like his personality or his humor or because he sometimes has dumb opinions, but there's no need to lie like this.

I guess I'll link this and ask for specifics, because I've observed quite the opposite.
Given you seem to have taken your quote about personally getting Biden into office seriously, I think it's pretty reasonable for anyone to be questioning your take here.
There's plenty to dislike vaush for, but they always go for the dumbest shit.
I can even start em off. He never does debate prep so if he's presented with a fact or statistic he doesn't know, he forms his idea of how he thinks it should work /an explanation that fits his worldview and argues that point then looks up data to back it after the fact. It comes across as super weak, especially for a guy who acts like some supreme lord of intellect.
But then again, knowing that would actually involve engaging with his content. It's much easier to clip him out of context and call him a pedo.
The guy is certainly far from perfect, but I think he's pretty reasonable overall, and that the complains above are nonsense.
He certainly slowed up on the debate prep over time, but he's also basically stopped debating. From what I understand, his rationale was that you can't get across all statistics, and that the people he was debating weren't meaningfully backed by the data in any case so it's fairly easy to find and debunk those syats/studies on the fly, which he frequently did. I don't think it negatively affected his performance all that much.
It's a valid complaint to make, though I don't personally think it's particularly material, and certainly has nothing to do with the nonsense complaints that were made above.
Oh absolutely. In fact I started watching vaush because I like debates, but Sam seder's style was really not my jam and nobody else vibes with me. Like destiny is rhetorically effective, but cedes so much ground to actual nazis that he's hard to watch. Vaush will hold them down on the premises they throw out and expect to be accepted and it's amazing to watch them squirm.
It's sad he barely debates anymore and I also don't give a shit about his fashion arc.

Yeah. He gets heated in debates and doesn't really think what he says through. This being a shining example. He doesn't get how condescending this comment is to someone from Iraq.
