As a child, I had the strangest notions of the world
and some of my former habits could be described as relatively dubious
from the point of view of today's grown-ups
So let's indulge in some nostalgia together and let's roll up the past of little marshell
I thought that after swallowing melon seeds in my belly a tree would grow
so after eating a slice of melon I spit out all kernels neatly
Also, I often left a last bite of food on the plate - no matter what
That's why the sun never shone the next day.
#noteatenup
As a child, I was always walking to the refrigerator to see if there was anything to eat
Even if there was nothing edible around
it took maybe thirty minutes and I walked back to the fridge again to see if there was anything to eat
about 20 times a day
Now that I think about it, it's actually saddening

When I drove past the factory premises in my car
and I saw the industrial chimneys in the distance
I sometimes thought to myself
Wow, that's where the clouds come from...
Yeah, what else hehehe
and at traffic lights I was convinced
that they were controlled by people
and that there were cameras in the lights
with which they had an overview of the streets
So when I walked across the street for the first time without permission
I was really scared to get arrested
Crossed the street in red, huh?
And what is this?
You haven't eaten your plate out either!
Shame on you
Back in the days I owned a huge box of Lego parts
and I sometimes spent hours building things
only to destroy them again just for fun
But if someone else broke my buildings
the world would collapse for me
[suppressed feelings]
When the internet was still in its infancy and I went online for the first time
I never dared to type evil words in Google
Because I was worried that the police would storm our apartment
Freeze!
What did he type in?
Evil words
and didn't he walk across the street without permission?
And there's still some food left on his plate
Shame on you!
I loved the movies of the Neverending Story back then
and for a short time I really believed that
if you found the right book in our world
you really could get to Phantásia
So every time I got a new version of the book
I examined it meticulously for magical properties
When I was alone in my room
and Dragonball was running on TV
I often tried to summon a KameHameHa or float in the air
[grand master saiyajin summons KaMeHaMeHa]
Will Marshell master the KaMeHaMeHa?
Or will his parents call the doctor first?
Find out in the next episode of Marshell Ball Z!
I hated taking a nap at noon
and it was only an invention of the adults
to keep the children quiet
Whether in kindergarten or at home
at the end I was lying in bed, staring boredly at the ceiling and just waiting
FOR IT TO BE OVER!!!!
And while we're on the subject of sleeping anyway
Sometimes I got scared of the outlines created by the objects in the room
[creepy music] when the light was turned off at night
[little Marshell almost crying]
To calm me down, I used to place my Bobo close to my bed
because I thought he was looking after me at night
In the right corner...
Bobo the Plush Boxer!
[crowd cheering]
And in the left corner......
a.... a....
a chair
Eh... fight!
O.....k......
But let's come to little Marshell's most brilliant conviction:
I thought as a child you could use things like blankets or bed varnishes as a parachute
I wanted to play superhero as a child
so I tied a sheet around my neck
and jumped from my bunk bed
[I believed I could fly, I believed I could touch the sky]
And...
I broke my arm
Haven't you written down anything from your childhood into the comments yet?
And you haven't clicked on this button yet?
Shame on you!
Your Marshell

What If There Was More Than One God? - Duration: 4:51.
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, I'm Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
Just about as long as we've been around as a species, large portions of humanity have
followed some sort of religion.
These have come in many forms, but most involve some sort of creator.
In recent years, the monotheistic Abrahamic religions have become far more prevalent,
to the point where most religious people believe in just one God.
However, in centuries past, civilizations like the ancient Greeks and Romans, as well
as the ancient Chinese, were polytheistic, believing in a pantheon of Gods.
Today we'll be discussing what the world would be like if it was, truly, ruled by a
number of gods.
It's time to ask the question: What if there was more than one God?
There are many kinds of polytheistic religions.
For example, the ancient Greeks and Romans both worshiped a pantheon of Gods, each with
their own specialty and powers.
Buddhism, on the other hand, involves many higher beings called Devas, who were people
who obtained great amounts of positive karma and were reborn as god-like beings.
For the sake of clarity, this video will be focusing on the Greek and Roman pantheon-style
Gods.
Because they're fairly well known, and of course, they're cool.
Is there any better reason?
So how would the world be different if there really was a pantheon of Gods?
Well, for starters, there's a pretty good chance that the polytheistic religions would
still be around in full force today.
The Greeks and Romans worshipped very similar gods, and it's possible that both mythologies
would have lived on.
It's also possible that, if the gods truly were real, they would reveal themselves more
fully and create one true religion that all could agree on.
Another implication of this is that the Abrahamic religions would be proven to be incorrect,
since they claim that a single God exists.
This means that many of the things that occurred either wholly or partially due to these religions
would not have happened.
On the bright side, the terrible things done in the name of religion, like the Crusades,
The Spanish Inquisition, and more recently Islamic Terrorism, may not have taken place.
But it isn't all good news.
The Abrahamic religions have done a great deal of good in the world.
They increased literacy, improved the quality of life in many areas, brought about incredible
literature and architecture, and have had a huge impact on the arts in general.
Without their contributions, it's possible that certain areas of our society would lag
somewhat behind, particularly if the Gods had the affinity for war found in the Roman
mythology.
But, you may be thinking, if there really were many gods, couldn't they have done
the same things as the Abrahamic religions?
Well, it's certainly possible.
However, the Greek and Roman religions and mythologies had very different values from
the Abrahamic religions that came later.
There was much more interest in making sacrifices and worshipping the clearly egotistical Gods,
often causing war and strife just to settle differences between them.
That said, it could be that very similar things would have occurred.
There was often fighting between those who worshipped one God and those who worshipped
another.
This could potentially lead to holy wars similar to those done in the name of Abrahamic religion.
Furthermore, while many of the ancient gods were rather warlike, that doesn't mean there
was no love of culture in them as well.
Gods like Apollo, the god of Music and Poetry, and Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, would
likely be largely focused on developing science and the arts, and would likely provide support
to the great scientific and artistic minds of the world.
One rather intriguing implication is that the existence of more than one God would explain
a lot about the world.
One issue that many critics have with monotheistic religion is that it doesn't sufficiently
explain suffering in the world.
If there was one God who is all powerful and all loving, why would he allow so many innocent
people to live such terrible lives?
On the other hand, the various quarrels and rivalries between the many gods of polytheistic
religions go a long way to explain why people do suffer.
Evil makes more sense in a world ruled be narcissistic, egotistical beings with far
too much power.
Read into that as you will.
(Maybe show a pic of Trump?)
Finally, we really ought to deal with the fact that this would be a world with actual
gods that exist and involve themselves in human affairs.
The world would be a significantly less predictable place, because you never know when the laws
of physics will suddenly be turned on their head, or when you will suddenly be smote by
a lightning bolt.
If the incredible events described in the mythology continued to occur throughout history,
the story of humanity would be very different, with supernatural events being much more commonplace.
You probably wouldn't skip church if it meant you'd be turned into a spider.
So now we return to our question: What if there was more than one God?
In a world with actual gods, making predictions is more or less impossible, since their supernatural
abilities could change the world in any number of ways.
However, there are certain things we can take from this.
Philosophically, the existence of many gods would go quite a long way to explaining why
suffering and evil exist, something that monotheistic religions struggle to sufficiently explain.
Furthermore, the religions that worshipped the pantheon of gods would likely still be
the predominant ideologies to this day, since if the Gods existed they would probably squash
out any competing false Gods.
The elimination of the monotheistic religions would also likely change the world in both
positive and negative ways, although the polytheistic religions could fall victim to similar events
themselves.

What Was I Thinking: Claudia and Kelly | Million Dollar Matchmaker | WE tv - Duration: 1:46.
♪♪
I am so tired.
This is a really draining experience.
Like, it's highs, it's lows, you're crying, you're smiling,
you're happy, you're drinking wine,
you're not drinking wine. It's a lot going on.
You check people out when you date them?
I don't know. I'm not a dumb girl.
But I have dealt with some really tricky men.
I was really emotional
when we started talking about my issues with my father.
You're gonna call him.
Going through the process, I realize that, you know,
I still have some unresolved issues.
Claudia has really broken some ground here.
What I need you to understand is,
he made mistakes,
but you're not gonna marry a man like him.
I'm excited that Jorge has chosen
to go out with me on another date.
But he's a lawyer, so he's a smart man.
I had so much fun this week at the Millionaires Club.
First of all, I'm tan. Second of all, I'm so relaxed.
And I had such a great time. I learned so much.
Did she not give you body language to want to kiss?
There's a time and place,
because you're trying to see does it feel right.
The thing that I really didn't like about Sterling is
that, you know, he was just talking so much
and he wasn't listening to me.
So there's just a total difference
between hearing someone and listening to them.
This is a lesson.
It's better for you to use him as training wheels
to get out in the new world.
These are new muscles you've never used before.
There's two great takeaways from this week.
The first takeaway is to really take care of myself.
This is obviously
to take the edge off before the mingle.
[Laughs] A vibrator.
You plug it in, and you can charge it in your computer.
Yeah, that's what you want to do --
charge it in your computer.
The other great takeaway is just,
now that I've reconnected with myself,
to just really take care of myself.
The modern girl should always be prepared,
'cause some guys are "battery not included."
[Laughs] I'm...

Conversation with Melinda Gates: What Was Your Pathway Into Tech? - Duration: 5:13.
I didn't start studying computer science until college,
which I think is really common for a lot of us.
And I almost took a programming class in high school,
but a girlfriend of mine had said,
"You know, nobody takes that class,
it's just a bunch of dudes."
And so I said, "Okay",
and then I took something else with her.
And then my freshman year at the UW
I took a computer science class.
And it took maybe two weeks I think
before I changed my major
and wanted to study that.
Well, in high school I had a teacher
who was my math teacher,
and she'd gone to a convention
and seen these things called computers.
Apple had just come out with their Apple II,
so she went to the principal of the school,
it was an all-girls school,
headed by a nun, and said, "We need to get some of these
for the girls," and so she succeeded
in getting about a dozen computers.
And she just asked a bunch of us in math class,
it was an all-girl school, "So do you wanna do this thing?
We can make it really fun".
And so a bunch of us signed up.
And so I didn't have the thing
about okay, were guys better than me or not.
It was just a bunch of girls
and we were just coding away.
And then I got in college, and not very many women
in my freshman class, and
almost none my sophomore year.
And so I just got used to that in college,
I was there for three years just basically
being in classes with males,
I mean that's just kinda what you did,
and yeah, so I got hooked.
You know, it's not like it came naturally
to me immediately, but the fact that it was kinda
challenging for me I thought was really fun,
and so I kinda kept at it and it felt really rewarding
I think, because of that.
I spent a summer, a week of my summer,
at the UW DawgBytes camp, which is like just
a week to introduce girls to coding.
And I fell in love with it because it's the perfect balance
of creativity and logic.
I can't draw for my life,
(group laughs)
but you can create a lot of things just with code.
Tell us more about TUNE House and what it does for you,
and the community of support,
and we'd just love to hear more about that.
The TUNE House is a program where I guess eight
of us are coming together who are interested
in pursuing tech, and it's a scholarship program
where we live in this space.
Sometimes in tech it's difficult for us
to share our stories of failure as well as success.
And this space has been really important for that,
having that discussion.
Kind of just having that time to think about what went wrong
and discuss what went wrong and how we can improve,
in addition to celebrating each other's successes,
which is equally important.
But having that balance, and having the really friendly
and open and safe space to do that
has been really important.
Yeah, it's interesting you use the word safe.
Cause that's what a lot of women will talk to you about
in something, anything they're trying to pursue that's hard,
having a safe space to do it in, right?
Makes a huge difference
to feeling like you can move forward
and that you're supported.
And who are some of your role models?
Actually a lot of my role models were astronauts,
so Kalpana Chawla,
Sally Ride, Buzz Aldrin,
so all these people that were so brave
and they went to space
and just having that sort of
I'm pushing the boundaries of what can be done
and literally pushing the boundaries of
what can be done on Earth.
So just having that idea in the back of your head growing up
was really.
You know it's interesting so my dad worked on
the very earliest Apollo missions
like when they landed
(group laughing)
on the moon, he was an engineer that
they worked on radiators actually for the Apollo mission,
so as a little girl
he would take my sister and me and my mom
and we'd go in our pajamas to his friend's house,
who's also an engineer across town
and we'd all wait and wait by the black and white set
to watch the rocket,
of course you know it would take longer and longer
and I'd fall asleep and they'd wake me up for it,
but I think that idea that engineering and mathematics
is boundless, that you could put a man on the moon, right?
Cause then when I got into software,
that was what interested me so much
when I came and interviewed for the job at Microsoft
is they were creating something new that didn't exist.
They knew they were changing the world,
cause they're making something that doesn't exist.
And same thing when you all create a new app today, right
or any new thing that you're doing,
you're expanding the possibilities, which is pretty neat.
How important was it that quite a few of the TAs
and professors are women?
Like had it been all male TAs and all male professors,
would that have been a different experience you think?
Most likely,
actually the professor that I have for the first
class in the series, Riley Porter,
she was amazing and I looked up to her
and just seeing how successful she was,
even at such a young age was really inspiring to me.
And so Melinda, what would be
your biggest piece of advice to these
upcomings.
Stick with it.
(group laughing)
The possibilities are so endless in this field,
I mean what you can create from neural networks
to machine learning, to biology and chemistry,
to you know some new app that'll change somebody's life,
wow, just keep going.
If I was starting over again
I would definitely go into tech again, no doubt about it.
