I feel like one day he'll be the villain in a "let's not meet" podcast episode 💀👀

so is slime bashing Aiden's wall in

I have access to every computer in your house >:)

thats the yard

welcome to the yarn

I related

nice, the yard does have non binary viewers

@@Mommydrugs fellow

Can confirm

as a queer girl also fully agree

yeah, as a certified gay femme, he's 100% right, the white shirt is way gayer

As a straight guy I’m curious to know why that is

@@silentm1082 white shirt is confident with white skin, whereas black clothes on white skin the contrast makes it easy to pull off that's my reasoning

Dag sounds like a big step homie congrats

Nothing lasts forever

We are the same

Holy shit dude, I literally have a folder full of stickers from over 12 years ago. My mindset is that I’ll find that perfect thing to stick them all on. I’ve had two cars, several computers and my mindset is that I’ll lose the stickers forever

@@davidcline1163 nothing wrong with keeping them in a binder if that makes you happy

maybe Austin was just being polite

Are there part time gays?

@@vedaryan334 yes

crazy susan hasnt taken this down yet

Someone's lost their way to fantano's channels

😂 so true

same lmao

That is the most sense I've ever heard in my life. 🤣 It just makes sense! 🤣

What drove me nuts is that his argument wasnt that Mario isn't a doctor it was that Mario isn't a person and the other three kept circling that idea but NEVER got there to call him out on it. No one is arguing Mario is a person but a person can be a doctor in their own fictive world and have the title of doctor!

Nick is picking up 10G signals in that cranium

Dr Mario isnt a doctor because Dr Mario isnt real?

i know im really late but im at this part right now and oh my god nick is actually insufferable in this argument right now

@@1drewlolhe literally isn’t a doctor

that's crazy

Honorary Doctorate, which is not the same as actually studying and earning it.

@@TwoRatsBanging yeah but he’s dr dre

@@TwoRatsBanging rip all the education doctorate holders then

This may be the most unhinged thing Slime has done yet as soon as he said it I was like "sounds about right"

@@MAJ0ROCEL0T same

Who said that you should do that? I heard about how Slime did, but not the advice to emulate his actions. You do you tho.

@@Rabbit-the-One I don't know, man. He said "that's right" and I assume he meant that's the right thing to do. We should all do that.

Bro I saw this comment before I saw the ep and thought it was a joke wtf slimes unhinged it was probably funny tho

Listen, at this point we all know Ludwig kissing guys is completely normal

@@rachelpoley3681 yeah, someday he'll kiss a girl and it will BREAK the internet.

If you shit your pants it doesn’t matter because your pants just became a diaper.

Slime is right

This was the very firest time I ever wanted Nick to shut up. He seemed so smug just arguing semantics.

@@gomjabbar6246 he also just seemed so genuinely wrong with the Mario isn't a doctor because he isn't real and thus can't be my doctor and isn't a doctor. A doctor on their deathbed can not help anyone but they are still a doctor, you can look at the basics of medicine or even just learn how to stop someone from choking and save them, but you aren't considered a doctor then. I don't know it was a weird topic, still like Nick though for sure

@@bloodwolf2609 only if you view things as how you are currently using them.

Ngl I kinda agree with him lmao

This has big Anthony Fantano comment section energy

This has been up for like 30 minutes, are you watching this at 2x speed or something?

@@EthanWalker LMFAOO such a great point

Ya, the shaved asshople rant is usually at the beginning of the episode, kinda threw off the whole vibe of the episode for me.

First things first I’m the realist

The whole segment made my brain hurt . When aimen tried to level with him I was almost brought back. But Nick has hurt my brain

nothing is real everything is permitted fiction is as true as the "real"

I suppose you would say i'm an anti-realist, but it seems like the concept of "physical" existence is an arbitrary classification. Why could we not physically classify the chemical reactions that result in dreams or emotion? what is the philosophical separation between these chemical reactions and our concepts of dreams/emotion? what separates the physical collection of data within my n64 cartridge that represents Dr Mario (animations, sounds, compiled code that handles him, etc.) from his existence as a "non-physical" character? it seems like with the realist perspective you just kind of have to draw a line somewhere. I'm not read on this though lol

TL;DR: Dr. Mario *is* a doctor, and is fictional. In addition, according to this guy, realists and anti-realists have the exact same perspective. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEGIN PART 1: MARIO IS A DOCTOR a doctor is either: 1. A person who is licensed to practice medicine and has trained at a school of medicine, chiropractic, optometry, podiatry, dentistry, or veterinary medicine. 2. A practitioner of alternative medicine or folk medicine who does not have traditional medical credentials. 3. A person who has earned the highest academic degree, usually a PhD, awarded by a college or university in a specified discipline. If Dr. Mario fulfills any of these definitions he is a doctor. Let's first acknowledge Dr. Mario is a fictional person. That is, a *person* who is fictional. It's impossible to say whether or not Dr. Mario is licensed, or was educated, since those details aren't included in his lore. Therefore, despite the fact Dr. Mario is a person, we cannot use the first or third definition to determine if he is a doctor. However, if one decides the gameplay of Dr. Mario counts as practicing alternative medicine, then he is a doctor. Alternative medicine is either: 1. A variety of health care practices, such as homeopathy, naturopathy, and Reiki, whose tenets often differ from those of mainstream medicine and are not generally taught in conventional medical schools. 2. any of various medical methods and practices used in place of, or as well as, conventional medicine. 3. the practice of medicine without the use of drugs; may involve herbal medicines or self-awareness or biofeedback or acupuncture. There's no proof Dr. Mario practices homeopathy, naturopathy, or Reiki, so we can eliminate the 1st definition. The 2nd definition encompasses the 3rd, so we'll use it. So we have determined that: If the gameplay of Dr. Mario counts as "any medical method or practice used in place of or in addition to conventional medicine" then Dr. Mario is a doctor because a doctor is "A practitioner of alternative medicine...". Medicine is "the science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease." So, if the gameplay of Dr. Mario is a science or art dealing with the maintenance of health or the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease, then Dr. Mario is a doctor. Now, the goal of the Dr. Mario game is to remove all the Virus from the screen using pills. I would argue that since Dr. Mario is "curing" the virus, he is practicing medicine. Since there's no evidence this medicine is conventional, and since there's no evidence Dr. Mario has credentials, I would argue he is practicing alternative medicine. Since he is practicing alternative medicine he fulfills one definition of the word doctor. Therefore, Dr. Mario is a doctor. However, Dr. Mario is also fictional, so he's a fictional doctor. END OF PART 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- START PART 2: REALISTS AND ANTI-REALISTS HAVE IDENTICAL PERSPECTIVES now that that's out of the way, your whole 'realist'/'anti-realist' definition is stupid. whether or not Dr. Mario is a doctor is entirely based on the definition being used for doctor, because the question is: "is dr. mario a doctor?" not, "is dr. mario a real doctor?" But i'll humor you for a sec. If the question is "is dr. mario a real doctor?" then the answer is based on the definition for real and for doctor. we've covered doctor already. is Dr. Mario real? and here's where your 'realist'/'anti-realist' thing is dumb. here's a quote: "From a realist perspective, Dr Mario is NOT a doctor bc he is not a person (etc) but from an anti-realist perspective he IS a doctor. Like the “is Sherlock Holmes real” scenario- from a realist perspective, he is not. He is a fictional character so he is not real. From an anti-realist perspective, however, he IS real because he exists AS a fictional character." From this quote, the realist perspective and the anti-realist perspective are identical. The realist is saying: "because Dr. Mario does not physically exist in a conscious, living, body, he is not real." and the anti-realist is saying "because Dr. Mario exists in a non-physical, mental way, he is real." however, both people agree that Dr. Mario doesn't physically exist in a conscious living body, and that he does exist in a non-physical mental way. the difference is only their definition of the word real. so if you take away the word real, they have the same beliefs and understanding of Dr. Mario and his existence.

24:00 is my favorite bit holy shit

also a white shirt with black pants is wayyyy gayer than a black shirt with black pants

Are you saying that wearing white makes you gay I'm so confused what is this argument

@@ZaWRLD there is no "argument". white shirt and black pants are just. gay

@@chromso It's literally 2 neutral colors put together I've met a decent bit of gay guys and none of them ever wore a white shirt and black pants most of couldn't dress that well ironically

Slime is actually a psychopath

Legit

Haha ye- 😳

This would make sense _if_ Nick hadn't specifically said that he's not arguing that Dr. Mario's a real doctor in our world. I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck he was talking about

@@TehMillionkill I think the question is ambiguous tbh. posed to confuse

@@diggitydingdong Nick’s argument also falls apart because in his scenario Mario doesn’t even exist so why does it matter if he’s a Dr?

@@GarretRB "Is Dr Mario?"

X2

King shit

Me 5

Same

Are you slimes long lost sibling?

three months late but fellow techie :D

You don't need to elaborate. Aiden is hella and out of the closet gay. Ludwig is just straight; dreaming and hoping to be gay....but so very straight.

he is no longer effortlessly cool

no it’s crazy like i have so many questions

Slime is genuinely the most tool-handy yard member and I think the only one who could be a actual carpenter

can you link the VOD?
