This Video Will Have You Completely Rethink How You Conduct Yourself Online And In Person (Video)

The problem with this theory is, the more we “connect” online, the less actual human interactions we have, making us actually fairly unsocial. A new video breaks down exactly how the social aspects of human beings have evolved and transformed, showing how we’ve regressed from a social standpoint. Shimi Cohen shows exactly what’s wrong with our social structure now, and how we manipulate how we want to be presented to peers, family members, and potential mates on social media, rather than having vulnerable and genuine conversations in real time.

Check out this video below, and take a moment to truly assess how you conduct yourself, both online and in person. Top Photo by Brittny Moore. Bob Cole’s love for hockey isn’t going anywhere. DETROIT – Bob Cole, whose subtle Newfoundland accent has supplied the soundtrack for generations of Hockey Night in Canada viewers, was leaning forward on the couch.

Bob Cole’s love for hockey isn’t going anywhere

It was a warm afternoon in Detroit, but he was in black slacks and a blazer, sipping a ginger ale — with ice — in his hotel lobby. “Some people tell me that hockey broadcasting has changed,” he said. “And I’ll never believe that. It hasn’t changed. I mean, people do different things, if that’s what you call change. Cole has been calling hockey games for the CBC, in some form or another, for more than 40 years. He views his role as that of a conductor, relaying the music of what he reads on the sheet of ice through his microphone. There are some critics, and have been for decades. “Don’t be boring,” Cole said. And despite the decades he has spent in their living room, there is plenty about Cole many Canadians might not know. 1. Tornado Victim Finds Her Dog. Adorable Porcupine eats a banana on MSN Video.

Here are my top ten words, compiled from online collections, to describe love, desire and relationships that have no real English translation, but that capture subtle realities that even we English speakers have felt once or twice.

The Top 10 Relationship Words That Arent Translatable Into English

As I came across these words I’d have the occasional epiphany: “Oh yeah! That’s what I was feeling...” Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start. Oh yes, this is an exquisite word, compressing a thrilling and scary relationship moment.

It’s that delicious, cusp-y moment of imminent seduction. Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. From what I glean, in common usage yuanfen means the "binding force" that links two people together in any relationship.

#10 Canada

When I was little my sister and I always waited between velvet ropes with my dad to see the bank teller — while lines rounded, stamps pounded, and thumbs counted, bills. Sometimes we grabbed faded pink and green deposit slips — the ones printed on the thinnest paper ever — and amused ourselves drawing on them or making million-dollar withdrawals on behalf of Scrooge McDuck.

Trips to the bank were pretty boring with only three major highlights: 1) Watching someone slowly open that thick giant door to the vault with metal-prongs the size of tennis ball containers, 2) Listening to the dot matrix printer screech a few lines onto my dad’s vinyl bank book, and 3) If we were really lucky, being handed a brand new calendar for next year full of beautiful scenery shots of Canada. Yes, my sister and I would flip through those calendars in the back of the station wagon on the ride home. Dad, you were right: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 10. Thank you! Live in Toronto? Pook.
