Fantastic work! Also, nothing more attractive than someone with talent.
Internet dude try not to talk about how hot a woman is challenge 2024 difficulty level impossible
I shall not be ashamed for complimenting someone.

I can’t understand enough of this statement to determine which side you’re on, but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless.
I bet she didn’t check behind the couch! Hopefully she’ll find it.
The perils of the pressure of the YouTube algorithm. Gotta put out that weekly video, hurry hurry! She’s handled it well though. I probably would have been too embarrassed to talk about it but I guess when you host a channel you’re too visible to hide accidents like that.
I probably would have been too embarrassed to talk about it
Why?
I would also be too embarrassed to put myself out there on YouTube. Not everyone is comfortable broadcasting such devastating mistakes. I was commending her for it. I saw this video a year ago when she made it FYI.
I would be ashamed to show my arm if I had tattooed a swastika or something equally stupid on it, because that’s a mistake I had the choice not to make. But accidents aren’t mistakes, they’re accidents. Just like I lost a few bits due to circumstances I had no control over. Those are the vagaries of life and they’re nothing to be ashamed of.
I get the distinction between a conscious decision, like getting a swastika tattoo, vs something that was not intentional. She said she lost the finger while making a shelf during home renovations. I’m guessing cutting wood. I very much doubt she intentionally cut her finger off, but odds are that it was a preventable mistake.
Sharing these mistakes with others does make you vulnerable. That said, it also can serve as a teaching opportunity. Sadly, tons of wood workers from the 40s-70s were missing the tip of a finger or two. Whenever someone talks about something like a table saw in a woodworking forum these days they’ll nearly always receive advice regarding safety.
Nobody loses a finger to a power tool by accident. You lose a finger to a power tool because you made a mistake. The root of every accident is someone making a mistake. In fact, in some industries safety training bans the word accident to make it clear. Being maimed by a mistake can be a tough thing to cope with. It’s something I would have trouble being public about. It’s courage and a comfort level with strangers on the Internet that I lack.
Also, ashamed and embarrassed are not synonyms. You’re arguing with a term I did not use. Shame is a way bigger deal than embarrassment.

Everybody learns how to drive and passes a driver’s license. So I guess road accidents have all but disappeared now, right?
Because as we all know, training makes people perfect and totally eliminates risks.
Calling collisions in traffic “accidents” is just a euphemism. Nearly all of them are completely preventable and were caused by incompetence, negligence, or deliberate belligerence.
Anything of that ilk truly being an accident is a tiny minority of all incidents. Things like a tree falling on your car while you’re driving along, or an undetectable defect in a component causing your wheel to fall off.
Nearly 100% of traffic accidents are driver error. 100% of power tool accidents are user error. If you haven’t realized that car accidents are the fault of drivers, I do not want to be on the road when you are driving.
I’m not sure why you are so avidly white knighting someone I wasn’t even insulting. People screw up, it can be hard to talk about when the cost of a mistake is so high. She’s brave for doing so. This is the last I have to say about it.
Bon ross would like a word.
Bob Ross gets a pass. I feel like that’s just a given.
I think it took her a while to talk about it. She was not careful enough while using a table saw and the whole incident was quite traumatizing. She mentioned that in a video with Adam Savage.
