They think they are better than everybody else, and treat color people as trash 😢

My wife and I have moved 4.5 times (in the middle of hopefully our last move in at least 5 years) since 2020, 2 of which were cross country. My advice for anyone is break it down into manageable steps, pack one room a week and if needed hire movers to help you load/unload if friends aren’t available. It’s ok if it feels like you’re never gonna be done, trust me, we all have more stuff than we realize and that’s ok. Having a decent overlap period can help alleviate the stress, but it’ll never feel like you have enough time. If the place you’re moving into isn’t gonna be home for at least a year or two, prepare for the reality that you might not be unpacked by the time you have to move again. We lived in our most recent house for almost two years and still have a few boxes that are packed

This is me! I’m about ready to cry for you, and for me too! 🙁

Your videos have help a lot in my understanding of my husband. I would love to hear from your wife about some strategies that made your life as a couple with one ADHD partner happier and/or easier. Thanks for your content!

What a refreshing documentary! My ex-husband is married now to an former psychologist, who has decided I and our two kids have this. So I'm researching, just in case. Although I HAVE written 8 books, built up a successful career after the separation and am still working at 75. The only book I haven't bothered to publish is about a lady who just couldn't get her act together and what steps she took (in her crazy loveable way) to get organized and become a good self-manager. Tihi. It's still in a drawer. The others have been published. The easiest way is to divorce, kids grow up and leave, and then be a dedicated and delighted Single.

I like this video. 😂 my mind goes a mile a second too.

Omg I'm looking up ADHD for my son,watch this video and thinking this man has my brain when I have to do anything and I rant,people look at me like,wow she gone crazy

“I know better…and I did it anyway.”

Amazing video!

Your supposed to say “hey siri” not “Siri”

ADD/ADHD is your brains way of telling you to slow down. Instead of working less, using our phones less, or meditating more, we are told to take medication and then to keep doing what makes our ADD/ADHD worse in the first place. Big pharma just creates problems and sells solutions. Anxiety, depression, ADHD. They have drugs for all! But you know what is free and hardly gets recommended? Meditation! If the physical and mental benefits of meditation were in pill form, it would be the most sold pill in the world. Shove your big pharma pushed medication!

"Now we wait! Or... I guess... we could clean up, couldn't we?" I need to practice THIS sort of self-talk 😂 I'd watch a regular Rick's Cooking. I'd probably watch a regular Rick's Anything. Rick makes me feel better even when I didn't know I needed to.

How was it, Rick? It looks delicious!

Awesome kitchen management Rick!

My favourite chocolate cake recipe!

Now do it all with your opposite hand😂

I’ll be over for coffee and cake in about 6 hours (YVR -> YYZ) … I’ll bring the vermouth. Pro tip: Martini Bianco (sweet vermouth) is lovely drizzled over any sponge cake.

My dad made wacky cake when I was a kid. This is the first time I’ve heard it mentioned elsewhere.

Love this!!

I love how this video is designed to attract my fragmented attention span. It moves fast enough to keep me watching. Thanks for the info and the way you presented it too.

Love the cover

Alot of your complaints are rather similar to mine

Superb

you need to get a technician

I've never read it. Fortunately it was somehow never assigned to me. I've deliberately not read it on my own because of the subject matter. But what do you think of the Milgram experiment, the Stanford Prison Experiment, The blue eyes/brown eyes experiment, and the Third Wave experiment? I've read about all those and they have some dark conclusions about people. BTW, I'm going to read those books you talked about in the video. Thanks!

Yeah Lord of the Flies was a sad horrible story. It was part of our O level English curriculum! We were just schoolkids ourselves! I blame it on the authors experiences as a teacher lol . Thanks Rick as always 🙏💐

This reminded me of the Acali experiment in the 70s. A group of women and men in a boat for 100 days. The researcher picked the participants to maximize tension (from religion and from attraction) and expected a lot to happen. People got along well, except him who had ulterior motives and got under everyone's skin and nerves. Another example of mainly good people, but also of the ever present exceptions (the researcher in this case).

Thanks for sharing this! I hated Lord of the Flies in school. I read Humankind a year or so ago. Shared it with my UU minister, and she gave a sermon based on the Humankind story of the Polynesian boys within the last few months. William Golding was a sad man.

Who knew that Adventures with Bill would eventually lead me to a valuable lesson about the Lord of the Flies? 😮😎 👍

💖🙏 Thanks, I have seen some rotten things, and have read many, many books. ... I encourage other humans.

Thank you for this! I was a high school English teacher and always felt there was something off with the book choices we had to choose from to teach our students, sadly I taught Lord of the Flies to many 10th graders. I did my best to express that this book did not reflect reality and was only one man’s point of view… On another note, sad to hear your church made you feel despair in the same vein as Lord of the Flies. Sadly there are also many false portrayals of God that are not reality. I am so grateful to find nothing but God’s love, peace, hope, and reality at my church- shocking and dare I say the Catholic Church! God bless you Rick, keep up the great work. You have helped me a great deal over the years, with laughter, inspiration and practical advice.

Thank you Rick! You’re helping to restore my faith in humanity. It often feels like we are facing the sharp end of the stick

I also had the misfortune of having to read Lord of the Flies. I was in a special education program for English, mainly because of my difficulty in writing, not reading. While the other English classes got to do Lord of the Rings, we had to do this book instead. In fact, to this day my nonchalance towards LOTR is specifically BECAUSE of this. I don't like the concept of banned books, but perhaps maybe this book should never have been part of the school's curriculum. Anyway, I too have learned that humanity isn't always the selfish wasteland that the books made it out to be. Remember the Golden Rule is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" not "Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you". But man, it is hard shaking those beliefs. In fact even though I'm middle aged, I still have this "no normal people" rule when it comes to preferred association. But my concept of "normal" is more or less based on what I consider "typical life experiences" rather than behaviour or intellectual capacity. So if the typical life experiences of today's world is one of selfishness and suspicion, then I will gravitate towards those who are more selfless and open and willing to see past minor behavioural flaws.

Rick, thank you. I needed that more than I can say. And when you teared up, I found I had, too. I appreciate that you left the emotion in there. That you allowed us to see you. I’ll get Humankind. And even read it! 😏

Thanks Rick! I needed that!

Rick, about a year ago I saw a video where you explained how dopamine works, in a very simple way, I was great, but now I can't seem to find it?

Such a great video! Thanks to you, Rick, I learned something new and important today!

Thank you. I live in the US where the political system is scary. My jaded view of people was developing along. Thanks for reminding me there is decency out there.

Thanks Rick … sadly as you’ve said before the news is likely the worst culprit … my high school English teacher is likely a close second.

I never heard of "Lord of the Flies." I didn't need this to see the worst of myself or others. Literature teachers I had introduced us to authors like Camus, Hemingway, Kafka, and even Alex Haley. People are too tuned in to the worst of themselves.

This was a long story, no offence 🙂

Im 23 and read this book in highschool and loved it, i bawled my eyes out in class when Simon died.He was the one i related to the most.I thought it was senseless and cruel. Ive had many rough events happen since and they've made he hate and despise other people. Make it so hard to trust anyone. Made me wonder if the "humanity" ive heard everyone has is actually even there. Youve given me a another step up in having faith in other people again. Ill be coming back to this video alot to remind me. Thank you so much for your wisdom! I hope to hear more.

I read LORD OF THE FLIES in grade school, and it scared me about as much as a sudden attack from a bubble bath; it was dull and poorly written, and read like a bad actor portraying a British reverend screaming at his kids about how Britain will "save the dull witted savages and turn them to the lord and the Queen. ". It was foolish and stupid. I've never bothered with any of the films, and the idea of turning this waste of time into any film seemed to be a really dumb way to throw money into the toilet. Of course, I hadn't seen films like THE MARVELS, MADAME WEB, or even THE ROOM yet, so I didn't know how dumb it could get. As usual, just because critics like something, doesn't mean it's any good.

Two new books to read, and perhaps lord of the flies is a description of "civilization", given your example of the "lost boys". Cooperation is what got humankind to where are today! Thanks for sharing your perspective on this Rick.

What a great video Rick! This is what we need to see more of (now more than ever)... uplifting, cooperative, positive, hope-filled REAL stories that showcase the good side of humanity. That good side exists, and outweighs the bad, we just don't hear that much about it... and we should, and we need, to. That book sounds amazing and I'm going to pick up a copy (I do agree about the cover though, yikes!) Maybe they should replace Lord of the Rings with this book! Education is so important, no ESSENTIAL, to have a society that is tolerant and able to do *good* work together. A small thing I've been doing lately to spread "goodness" is just smiling and nodding my head to everyone who glances my way while out shopping, or at work or wherever. It's kind of sad, and very telling of society these days, how many people are surprised when unexpected kindness is shown to them in a simple smile and acknowledgement of their existance. I do have to admit, it's a somewhat "greedy" gesture on my part too, because... well darn it, it makes me happy to see the scowls on their faces turn instantly into the smiles I receive back! Gotta love that dopamine, am I right?! I always hope that feeling stays with them the rest of their day or even longer, and maybe they start doing it too. Hopefully, a whole trend will start, and we'll have a whole world full of people smiling at each other, and there will be fear no more! 😀 Hopefully...

Haven't watched the news regularly in years. Great layout btw!

Dude, I've watched your work on the red green show and with History bites, but these shorts are great! Thank you so much!!

Your counter top lights look green? Ohhhhhh.... Now I will go back and listen.... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Thanks Rick! Worst part is the guilt associated with not doing X or Y … a horrid side effect of procrastination

Combo AND none of it makes sense. I can’t get myself to start. Just start!!! OK now. OK not then, so now. Stuck, stuck, stuck. WAS making a little progress 2 months ago. So defeated. So very defeated.
