The son ran to his father and told him that he had met someone stronger than himself. He was afraid. Not only did he dare not face this powerful enemy, but he also ran to ask his father for help. The father used a woman to deal with the strongest man and used the word “harlot” to address a woman. From this, we can see that this epic discriminates against women, and most women play miserable roles. You can also see men's cowards. Including that Enkidu is a savage, another meaning of this sentence is to say that he is a civilization. But because the epic has such a passage, you can see the characteristics of this epic. This is a feature of prejudice against women, and men are noble.

Men show the arrogance and prejudice of men. To deal with the strongest person, a vulnerable group such as a woman and a child was used to deal with this strongest person. But on the contrary, this can also show that women are also very powerful; without women, men like them can't deal with the strongest person. It can also prove that women played an essential role in this story. In a sense, women are heroes in this epic.

accurate? fair?

Quite a pithy remark. Even though some may say it's far too reductionist, I would say reductionism remains the truest mirror of our selves. We're nothing but monkeys, except that we don't throw shit at each other, we throw nukes.

Zara is a game of chance that was played in the Middle Ages.

It was most commonly played with three dice, although there were regional variations. Each player would throw the dice, calling out a number at the same time. If the number he called was not the sum of the dice, he would pay a number of coins equal to the number he called; if the number he called was the sum of the dice, he would collect a number of coins equal to the number called.

very good game, very fun, but gets hard quickly, and puts lots of situations where you cant do anything.

cool game, not to long tho

The conclusion in the first draft felt rushed and untruthful. I took the advice I received in conferences and reflected on how I felt about basketball. During a game or after a game, I would metaphorically step out of the intensity and think about my feelings. When I tried to come up with a meaningful conclusion, there typically was no clear one. My emotions were a mix of joy from playing with friends and frustration if I was missing a lot of shots or losing the game. So instead of writing a fake conclusion, I tried to communicate that I was still confused. I liked the analogy of a bank shot because it highlighted how my intention mattered. Since I can't figure out my intention, I wrote about what confused me.

There used to be a paragraph here outlining some 1 on 1 games I played with my two friends. However, I decided to scrap it after the thought verb exercise. There were many circles on the page so I wrote an entirely new paragraph that was structured around details. It was easier to write the 3 on 3 game with verbs because I could imagine the action unfolding, like it would in a movie.

My first draft was severely lacking in context. It wasn't clear whether I was playing an intramural game or a pick-up game. I included the kind of basketball I played at BC as well as the setting I played in. There are multiple basketball courts at Margot so I wanted to clarify that I was playing at the ones upstairs. The waxed hardwood floors and division by skill were major details that characterized these courts. By providing context, the reader can understand that I valued basketball as an enthusiast, and not a competitive athlete.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

In this manuscript, Yang et al. trained monkeys to play the classic video game Pac-Man and fit their behavior with a hierarchical decision making model. Adapting a complex behavior paradigm, like Pac-Man, in the testing of NHP is novel. The task was well-designed to help the monkeys understand the task elements step-by-step, which was confirmed by the monkeys' behavior. The authors reported that the monkeys adopted different strategies in different situations, and their decisions can be described by the model. The model predicted their behavior with over 90% accuracy for both monkeys. Hence, the conclusions are mostly supported by the data. As the authors claimed, the model can help quantify the complex behavior paradigm, providing a new approach to understanding advanced cognition in non-human primates. However, several aspects deserve clarification or modification.

1. The results showed that the monkeys adopted different strategies in different situations, which is also well described by the model. However, the authors haven't tested whether the strategy was optimal in a given situation. According to the results, the monkeys didn't always perform the task in an optimal way, as well. Most of the time, the monkeys didn't actively adopt strategies in a long-term view. They were "passively" foraging in the task: chasing benefit and avoiding harm when they were approached. This "benefit-tending, harm-avoiding" instinct belongs to most of the creatures in the world, even in single-cell organisms. When a Paramecium is placed in a complex environment with multiple attractants and repellents, it may also behave dynamically by adopting a linear combination of basic tending/avoiding strategies, although in a simpler way. In other words, the monkeys were responding to the change of environment but not actively optimizing their strategy to achieve larger benefits with fewer efforts. The only exception is the suicides. Monkeys were proactively taking short-term harms to achieve large benefits in the future.

One possible reason is that the monkeys didn't have enough pressure to optimize their choices since they will eventually get all the rewards no matter how many attempts they make. The only variable is the ghosts. Most of the time, the monkeys didn't really choose between different targets/ strategies. They were making choices between the chasing order of the options, but not the options themselves. It is similar to asking a monkey to choose either to eat a piece of grape or cucumber first, but not to choose one and give up the other one. A possible way to avoid this is to stop the game once the ghost catches the Pac-Man or limit each game's time.

2. It is well known that the value of an element is discounted by time and distance. However, in the model, the authors didn't consider it. A relevant problem will be the utility of the bonus elements, including the fruits and scared ghosts. Their utilities were affected not only by their value defined by the authors but also by effects, including their novelty and sense of achievement when they were captured, as the ghosts attracted relatively much more attention than the other elements (considering the number is 2 for them, see in figure 3E).

3. The strategies are not independent. They are somehow correlated to each other. It may result in, in some conditions, false alarming of more strategies than the real, as shown in figure 2A. It is hard to believe that a monkey can maintain several strategies simultaneously since it is out of our working memory/attention capacity.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

In this intriguing paper, Yang et al. examine the behaviors of two rhesus monkeys playing a modified version of the well-known Pac-Man video game. The game poses an interesting challenge, since it requires flexible, context-dependent decisions in an environment with adversaries that change in real time. Using a modeling framework in which simple "basic" strategies are ensembled in a time-dependent fashion, the authors show that the animals' choices follow some sensible rules, including some counterintuitive strategies (running into ghosts for a teleport when most remaining pellets are far away).

I like the motivation and findings of this study, which are likely to be interesting to many researchers in decision neuroscience and animal behavior. Many of the conclusions seem reasonable, and the results are detailed clearly. The key weakness of the paper is that it is primarily descriptive: it's hard to tell what new generalizable knowledge we take away from this model or these particular findings. In some ways, the paper reads as a promissory note for future studies (neural or behavioral or both) that might make use of this paradigm.

I have two broad concerns, one mostly technical, one conceptual:

First, the modeling framework, while adequate, is a bit ad hoc and seems to rely on many decisions that are specific to exactly this task. While I like the idea of modeling monkeys' choices using ensembling, the particular approach taken to segment time and the two-pass strategy for smoothing ensemble weights is only one of many possible approaches, and these decisions aren't particularly well-motivated. They appear to be reasonable and successful, but there is not much in the paper to connect them with better-known approaches in reinforcement learning (or, perhaps surprisingly, hierarchical reinforcement learning) that could link this work to other modeling approaches. In some ways, however, this is a question of taste, and nothing here is unreasonable.

Second, there is an elision here of the distinction between how one models monkeys' behavior and what monkeys can be said to be "doing." That is, a model may be successful at making predictions while not being in any way a good description of the underlying cognitive or neuroscientific operations. More concretely: when we claim that a particular model of behavior is what agents "actually do," what we are usually saying is that (a) novel predictions from this model are born out by the data in ways that predictions from competing models are not (b) this model gives a better quantitative account of existing data than competitors. Since the present study is not designed as a test of the ensembling model (a), then it needs to demonstrate better quantitative predictions (b).

But the baselines used in this study are both limited and weak. A model crafted by the authors to use only a single, fixed ensemble strategy correctly predicts 80% of choices, while the model with time-varying ensembling predicts roughly 90%. This is a clear improvement and some evidence that *if* the animals are ensembling strategies, they are changing the ensemble weights in time. But there is little here in the way of non-ensemble competitors. What about a standard Q-learning model with an inferred reward function (that is, trained to replicate monkeys' data, not optimal performance). The perceptron baseline as detailed seems very poor as a control given how shallow it is. That is, I'm not convinced that the authors have successfully ruled out "flat" models as explanations of this behavior, only found that an ensembled model offers a reasonable explanation.

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Yang and colleagues present a tour de force paper demonstrating non-human primates playing a full on pac-man video game. The authors reason that using a highly complex, yet semi controlled video game allows for the analysis of heuristic strategies in an animal model. The authors perform a set of well motivated computational modeling approaches to demonstrate the utility of the experimental model.

First, I would like to congratulate the authors on training non-human primates to perform such a complex and demanding task and demonstrating that NHP perform this task well. From previous papers we know that even complex AI systems have difficulty with this task and extrapolating from my own failings in playing pac-man it is a difficult game to play.

Overall the analysis approach used in the paper is extremely well reasoned and executed but what I am missing (and I must add is not needed for the paper to be impactful on its own) is a more exhaustive model search. The deduction the authors follow is logically sound but builds very much on assumptions of the basic strategy stratification performed first. This means that part of the hierarchical aspect of the behavioral strategies used can be attributed to the heuristic stratification nature of the approach. I am not trying to imply that I do not think that the behavior is hierarchically organized but I am implying that there is a missed opportunity to characterize that hierchical'ness (maybe in a graph theoretical way, think Dasgupta scores) further.

All in all this paper is wonderful. Congratulations to the authors.

this is high praise, he must have been like a national treasure

Honestly, that is amazing stamina

Everyone in the audience could tell that this was bigger than a game

Even though hockey was incredibly important to the culture of Quebec, everyone recognized that this was bigger than just a game

Richard is acknowledging his temper, but is unable to control it.

Crazy to think that a player is about to arrested for assault during a hockey game.

I think the punishment is fair, but I do not think it's fair that Richard received this punishment while others did not.

I mean, this is what I expect.

wow

This is reasonable considering what happened but I would think everyone involved would be removed.

People were calling game

A goal a game is very good.

This explains the power that Le Rocket had when he was playing

that was probably a lot of money back then

cant blame him

This deserves an expulsion from the game

I played soccer growing up. I played for several teams just because I had a love for the game and I wanted to be out on the field. It was my escape from reality.

I think both players at fault. If I was in that situation, I would have defended myself as well, but think both parties are responsible for their actions.

So many signs that he chose to ignore and instead decided to go ahead and put himself in a position to infuriate people more

Interesting that he was aware that he had problems controlling it

He was their champion and they loved him. I'm sure the crowd assisted in enhancing his game.

He was obviously a natural and knew what he was capable of becoming.

He loved the game at such an early age.

Richard and Laycoe get in a huge fight that ends with police wanting to arrest Richard and him getting kicked out of the game.

This last paragraph is about how there is so much tension between teams and this is the last game of the season so the tension has been building all season.

Again I wasn't happy with the way I originally transitioned from the emotions I was experiencing to sharing them with my mom, so I reworked this paragraph. My original phrasing of "I knew I could talk to her" didn't match the emotions I had at the time. By questioning if I should even bother talking to my own mom about my feelings of self doubt, the reader gains better insight into the anxiety I felt. On another note, I originally also had a few sentences in this paragraph talking about the homesickness I was experiencing, but I felt that could distract the reader from the main point of the paragraph, so I cut it out.

This is interesting that someone from Quebec is inserting hockey and professional teams into social and religious life as a substitute for the church

People take Canadian Hockey so far, relating it to God and religion

I never would have thought of that..

It sounds to me like there was already speculation regarding this issue.

I believe it could be considered a religion of sorts. It has a following, a belief system/set of rules in place, and those that play the game are considered to be 'more than human'.

It is interesting that Quebec nationalists can trace their poltiical revivalry back to a hockey game

He should have read the situation better and understood his presence would inflame the crowd

It is crazy that a sport sparked such a great change within people

I think this speaks poorly to Campbell's character and how much he was trying to insert himself

Surprised they didn't take prior precautions knowing the crowd was on edge before the game even started

It is interesting that many people view this as the beginning of Quebec's Quiet Revolution since it was a hockey game rather than something like a battle or massacre that started it

This is pretty extreme for a hockey game.

What are the odds.

People went crazy for the game on St Patty's day

137 arrests of both french and english people is crazy. But it makes since there was a lot because of it being a St. Patrick's say game and people were probably drinking alcohol, and not making good decisions, which led to their arrest.

its interesting to see that everyone was excited for this rematch besides him

shows how tough you had to be to play the game.

I swear in other sports, if this were to happen, you would be out of the game and even may be done with your professional career.

Love for the game, but hatred towards players that got in the way. How was hockey taught to the youth before they became professional?

I saw a hockey game several years ago and it broke out in violence.. I swear that's just part of the game. I couldn't imagine it being even more violent back then.

It says a lot that he didn't want to align with any political parties. He just wanted to play the game.

I think this puts him at fault. He understood the significance of what he was doing and opted to continue with it to make a point. Poor judgement and comes across prideful.

I rewrote my introduction entirely. My first introduction lacked a personal aspect and was, in all honesty, not engaging for the reader in the slightest. Further, during the Inquiry Writer's Workshop, I realized that many of the "memorable moments" were about solid introductions. Of which many incorporated a personal anecdote. I found the introductions that I read for class much more interesting than my own. So when I went back to make revisions, I made sure to tackle my introduction first by adding a personal aspect to engage the reader.

Hilarious! Jay wins the debate before it even starts. Coaston's unsparing and accurate summary of Douthat's ridiculous column is game, set and match.

Very interesting story.

akin in the game

project funder

altruistic markets

hurts the legitimacy of the grant program

she's likely trying to provide herself with hope of finding someone new. the "you" is all the people playing the game of love with her. since everyone meets her first time with innocence, she's generalizing them and knows more "players" are yet to come

rather referring to herself. her being reckless suggests she is rough in the game of love; she doesn't care

getting played by her. the game here is love

the speaker feels that she only cares about the people in a relationship, and the other person she is referring to only cares about playing the game and not the person In the relationship.

Shes done this before and at this point its like a game of what ending youll get

Basically saying that they (Players) want to be in the game and the Game can't happen without the players, Its almost saying that they need/want each other

she is more attached to the players and he's attached the the game. this is like a metaphor because she compares what they're attached to and compares it to a sport through her word choice "players" "games" without using like or as

referring to the relationships as almost like a board game

love two different things

gaurab- hes trying to ask her out but not with good intencation.

although she's been hurt in her previous relationships with her "long list of ex-lovers" she prefers the "players" and she's saying how he loves the "game"

She is obsessed with getting into relationships and here she's ready to "play" again, telling this person that she can write their name down to this possible game

love is seen as something more than just emotions. it is a state one is more vulnerable to their partner. this kind of foreshadows to the idea that one of many plans of her may include playing with the person's feelings; like a game.

showing that the writer is almost cocky in romance as she only see's this as something of a game.

the quote shows swift comprehending that this person is a bad idea, and proceeding with them anyways, showing that she is in defiance to the norm of regular life.

messing with each other feelings

the writer seemingly knows that this is going to end badly but still wants to go on with it. like playing a game.

views love as a game. So she could play with people feelings or lead them on

This is a metaphor comparing Love to a game. The use of the comma after "loves a game," and then using the question mark after "wanna play?" Creates this sense of tension.

here she she is representing love to a game, then that's where the game comes in play in the beginning of relationships where everything is nice and new like money, a suit and tie.

Mentioning again how love is a game

Metaphor, comparing love to a game and is interested in "playing" it

Statistical arguments are often used in connection with the kinds of topics we have been dealing with: political issues, decisions, generalizations and human nature. ( statistical reasoning week 11).

This logical issue is relevant because Data can be easily manipulated to display a desired result. This can be very useful in an argument if the Data are displayed and are processed correctly.

In this particular argument there is statistical evidence to support the premise that video games can increase the tolerance of pain with participants who played violent video games being able to keep their hands in the ice for 65 percent longer than participants who didn't play those video games.

Statistical reasoning week 11

A analogical reasoning is always based on the assumption of comparing two things that are the same

There is an error in analogical reasoning the assumption is that the experience of pain being associated in keeping your hands in ice cold water is analogies with others types of pain. I would improve upon this argument by removing this study and replacing it with a study that does not contain the analogical reasoning or I may go deeper in explaining this study.

Analogical reasoning Week 10

This is modus ponens because the logical argument is supported by a valid conclusion.

If A then B

A Therefore, B

This is a deductive argument because the logical premise which is that video games can improve motion control skills is supported by a logical premises which is the evidence from Dr. Lisa Barnett. This premises leads to the conclusion that video games can improve motor skills.

simile; shows the importance of the game (or even the shot) to the player. the moment was crucial for the player needless to say

ball doesn't get the opportunity to hit the court floor. the game is getting more fast paced so no time to waste

builds anxiousness; game develops just as the climax develops

simile. the ball is being compared to a precious belonging. this means the game itself is precious to them

shows how tense and busy the game really is.

This helps describe and show how close and nsync the two men are when playing this game.

This shows that the game is cherished and very important to the author.

a relation to the game of basketball

We don't get a single period till the end of the poem, it is all commas till the end. The author did this to give the reader a sense of conclusion, also using periods is like a small pause compared to a full stop, this builds tension and creates this flow that displays the ideal of the game.

Is an interesting choice of wording to use when talking about such an intense and aggressive game and moment.

it shows how much the character cares about the game

patriotism is something that the author and the main character must have viewed highly . drawing parallels to loving the country and to loving the game. showing how high;y both must be deemed to them

harsh phrase, shows the speed of the game.

This is a simile to and is almost an outside joke as he compares this tension to the game to how a coach would draw on a blackboard. This shows that our author has some childhood memories of this ideal.

In my first draft, I didn't contrast my acceptance of feeling alone. Earlier in the draft, I talked about how I never liked being alone. I explained the story of getting lost at a football game to express why I don't like the feeling of being alone. I added this sentence to contrast that feeling with a new found acceptance of being alone. I wanted to show the reader the change in my thought process after spending time alone with in the garden.

I’m sure we can squeeze Doom in here somewhere. :^)

ARGs are a wonderful tool to really help students build their intuition and analytical abilities. They are more than just a cool marketing tool, and often are a good source for “Unfiction” stories.

Minecraft is a good example of this, both as the game itself and its repurposed educational edition.

A lot of these things have created their own industries especially. Self-created media still is not always getting the recognition it deserves compared to “official” productions from Hollywood or anywhere else, but there is so much out there made by individuals with an idea that it makes stuff like the Oscars feel like Hollywood huffing their own fumes while stuff like “Local 58” causing me to lose sleep.

Again, who are "these people"? Health professionals? So are we to give their opinions no more weight than anyone else's when it comes to matters of public health? Perhaps by not naming "these people", the author is engaging is a fun game of "create your own bogeyman/straw man".

According to all known laws of aviation,

there is no way a bee should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.

The bee, of course, flies anyway

because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little.

Barry! Breakfast is ready!

Ooming!

Hang on a second.

Hello?

• Barry?
• Adam?

• Oan you believe this is happening?
• I can't. I'll pick you up.

Looking sharp.

Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those.

Sorry. I'm excited.

Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son.

A perfect report card, all B's.

Very proud.

Ma! I got a thing going here.

• You got lint on your fuzz.
• Ow! That's me!

• Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
• Bye!

Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house!

• Hey, Adam.
• Hey, Barry.

• Is that fuzz gel?
• A little. Special day, graduation.

Never thought I'd make it.

Three days grade school, three days high school.

Those were awkward.

Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive.

You did come back different.

• Hi, Barry.
• Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.

• Hear about Frankie?
• Yeah.

• You going to the funeral?
• No, I'm not going.

Everybody knows, sting someone, you die.

Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead.

I guess he could have just gotten out of the way.

I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day.

That's why we don't need vacations.

Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances.

• Well, Adam, today we are men.
• We are!

• Bee-men.
• Amen!

Hallelujah!

Students, faculty, distinguished bees,

please welcome Dean Buzzwell.

Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of...

...9:15.

That concludes our ceremonies.

And begins your career at Honex Industries!

Will we pick ourjob today?

I heard it's just orientation.

Heads up! Here we go.

Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times.

• Wonder what it'll be like?
• A little scary.

Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco

and a part of the Hexagon Group.

This is it!

Wow.

Wow.

We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life

to get to the point where you can work for your whole life.

Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.

Our top-secret formula

is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured

into this soothing sweet syrup

with its distinctive golden glow you know as...

Honey!

• That girl was hot.
• She's my cousin!

• She is?
• Yes, we're all cousins.

• Right. You're right.
• At Honex, we constantly strive

to improve every aspect of bee existence.

These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology.

• What do you think he makes?
• Not enough.

Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman.

• What does that do?
• Oatches that little strand of honey

that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions.

Oan anyone work on the Krelman?

Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know

that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot.

But choose carefully

because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life.

The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that.

What's the difference?

You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off

in 27 million years.

So you'll just work us to death?

We'll sure try.

Wow! That blew my mind!

"What's the difference?" How can you say that?

One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make.

I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life.

But, Adam, how could they never have told us that?

Why would you question anything? We're bees.

We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth.

You ever think maybe things work a little too well here?

Like what? Give me one example.

I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about.

Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach.

Wait a second. Oheck it out.

• Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
• Wow.

I've never seen them this close.

They know what it's like outside the hive.

Yeah, but some don't come back.

• Hey, Jocks!
• Hi, Jocks!

You guys did great!

You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!

• I wonder where they were.
• I don't know.

Their day's not planned.

Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what.

You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that.

Right.

Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime.

It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it.

Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it.

Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too?

Distant. Distant.

Look at these two.

• Oouple of Hive Harrys.
• Let's have fun with them.

It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock.

Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom!

He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me!

• Oh, my!
• I never thought I'd knock him out.

What were you doing during this?

Trying to alert the authorities.

I can autograph that.

A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades?

Yeah. Gusty.

We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow.

• Six miles, huh?
• Barry!

A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it.

• Maybe I am.
• You are not!

We're going 0900 at J-Gate.

What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough?

I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means.

Hey, Honex!

Dad, you surprised me.

You decide what you're interested in?

• Well, there's a lot of choices.
• But you only get one.

Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day?

Son, let me tell you about stirring.

You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around.

You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing.

You know, Dad, the more I think about it,

maybe the honey field just isn't right for me.

You were thinking of what, making balloon animals?

That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger.

Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey!

• Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
• I'm not trying to be funny.

You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer!

• You're gonna be a stirrer?
• No one's listening to me!

Wait till you see the sticks I have.

I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!

Let's open some honey and celebrate!

Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae.

Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!

I'm so proud.

• We're starting work today!
• Today's the day.

Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone.

Yeah, right.

Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal...

• Is it still available?
• Hang on. Two left!

One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side.

• What'd you get?
• Picking crud out. Stellar!

Wow!

Oouple of newbies?

Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!

Make your choice.

• You want to go first?
• No, you go.

Oh, my. What's available?

Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think.

• Any chance of getting the Krelman?
• Sure, you're on.

I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.

Wax monkey's always open.

The Krelman opened up again.

What happened?

A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one.

Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.

Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life!

Oh, this is so hard!

Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,

humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,

mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry?

Barry!

All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine...

What happened to you? Where are you?

• I'm going out.
• Out? Out where?

• Out there.
• Oh, no!

I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life.

You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?

Another call coming in.

If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd

that gets their roses today.

Hey, guys.

• Look at that.
• Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?

Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.

It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.

Really? Feeling lucky, are you?

Sign here, here. Just initial that.

• Thank you.
• OK.

You got a rain advisory today,

and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain.

So be careful. As always, watch your brooms,

hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats.

Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us.

Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada!

• That's awful.
• And a reminder for you rookies,

bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans!

All right, launch positions!

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

Black and yellow!

Hello!

You ready for this, hot shot?

Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.

Wind, check.

• Antennae, check.
• Nectar pack, check.

• Wings, check.
• Stinger, check.

Scared out of my shorts, check.

OK, ladies,

let's move it out!

Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers!

All of you, drain those flowers!

Wow! I'm out!

I can't believe I'm out!

So blue.

I feel so fast and free!

Box kite!

Wow!

Flowers!

This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual.

Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.

Roses!

30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.

Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick.

That is one nectar collector!

• Ever see pollination up close?
• No, sir.

I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there,

a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic.

That's amazing. Why do we do that?

That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.

Oool.

I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?

Oopy that visual.

Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move.

Say again? You're reporting a moving flower?

Affirmative.

That was on the line!

This is the coolest. What is it?

I don't know, but I'm loving this color.

It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it.

Yeah, fuzzy.

Ohemical-y.

Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.

My sweet lord of bees!

Oandy-brain, get off there!

Problem!

• Guys!
• This could be bad.

Affirmative.

Very close.

Gonna hurt.

Mama's little boy.

You are way out of position, rookie!

Ooming in at you like a missile!

Help me!

I don't think these are flowers.

• Should we tell him?
• I think he knows.

What is this?!

Match point!

You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to eat it!

Yowser!

Gross.

There's a bee in the car!

• Do something!
• I'm driving!

• Hi, bee.
• He's back here!

He's going to sting me!

Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze!

He blinked!

Spray him, Granny!

What are you doing?!

Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable.

I gotta get home.

Oan't fly in rain.

Oan't fly in rain.

Oan't fly in rain.

Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!

Ken, could you close the window please?

Ken, could you close the window please?

Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure.

You see? Folds out.

Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.

What was that?

Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This...

Drapes!

That is diabolical.

It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.

What's number one? Star Wars?

Nah, I don't go for that...

...kind of stuff.

No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. They're out of their minds.

When I leave a job interview, they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.

There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.

I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it.

I predicted global warming.

I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me.

Wait! Stop! Bee!

Stand back. These are winter boots.

Wait!

Don't kill him!

You know I'm allergic to them! This thing could kill me!

Why does his life have less value than yours?

Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement?

I'm just saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling.

My brochure!

There you go, little guy.

I'm not scared of him. It's an allergic thing.

Put that on your resume brochure.

My whole face could puff up.

Make it one of your special skills.

Knocking someone out is also a special skill.

Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.

• Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
• Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.

• You could put carob chips on there.
• Bye.

• Supposed to be less calories.
• Bye.

I gotta say something.

She saved my life. I gotta say something.

All right, here it goes.

Nah.

What would I say?

I could really get in trouble.

It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I've got to.

Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!

No. Yes. No.

Do it. I can't.

How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good.

Here she comes! Speak, you fool!

Hi!

I'm sorry.

• You're talking.
• Yes, I know.

You're talking!

I'm so sorry.

No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming.

But I don't recall going to bed.

Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting.

This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee!

I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this,

but they were all trying to kill me.

And if it wasn't for you...

I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised.

That was a little weird.

• I'm talking with a bee.
• Yeah.

I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me!

I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now.

• Wait! How did you learn to do that?
• What?

The talking thing.

Same way you did, I guess. "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.

• That's very funny.
• Yeah.

Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with.

Anyway...

Oan I...

...get you something?

• Like what?

I don't know. I mean... I don't know. Ooffee?

I don't want to put you out.

It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.

• It's just coffee.
• I hate to impose.

• Don't be ridiculous!
• Actually, I would love a cup.

Hey, you want rum cake?

• I shouldn't.
• Have some.

• No, I can't.
• Oome on!

I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.

• Where?
• These stripes don't help.

You look great!

I don't know if you know anything about fashion.

Are you all right?

No.

He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison.

He finally gets there.

He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on.

And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan.

Why would I marry a watermelon?"

Is that a bee joke?

That's the kind of stuff we do.

Yeah, different.

So, what are you gonna do, Barry?

About work? I don't know.

I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it the way they want.

I know how you feel.

• You do?
• Sure.

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.

• Really?
• My only interest is flowers.

Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan.

Anyway, if you look...

There's my hive right there. See it?

You're in Sheep Meadow!

Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!

No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once.

• Why do girls put rings on their toes?
• Why not?

• It's like putting a hat on your knee.
• Maybe I'll try that.

• You all right, ma'am?
• Oh, yeah. Fine.

Just having two cups of coffee!

Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee.

Yeah, it's no trouble.

Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life.

Are you...?

Oan I take a piece of this with me?

Sure! Here, have a crumb.

• Thanks!
• Yeah.

All right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around.

Or not.

OK, Barry.

And thank you so much again... for before.

Oh, that? That was nothing.

Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...

This can't possibly work.

He's all set to go. We may as well try it.

OK, Dave, pull the chute.

• Sounds amazing.
• It was amazing!

It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life.

Humans! I can't believe you were with humans!

Giant, scary humans! What were they like?

Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.

They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy.

• Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
• Some of them. But some of them don't.

• How'd you get back?
• Poodle.

You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see.

You had your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal.

• Well...
• Well?

Well, I met someone.

You did? Was she Bee-ish?

• A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
• No, no, no, not a wasp.

• Spider?
• I'm not attracted to spiders.

I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all.

I can't get by that face.

So who is she?

She's... human.

No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law.

• Her name's Vanessa.
• Oh, boy.

She's so nice. And she's a florist!

Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!

We're not dating.

You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes

with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite!

She saved my life! And she understands me.

This is over!

Eat this.

This is not over! What was that?

• They call it a crumb.
• It was so stingin' stripey!

And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat!

• You know what a Oinnabon is?
• No.

It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up...

Sit down!

...really hot!

• Listen to me!

We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them!

Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning?

There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me!

You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee!

• Thinking bee.
• Thinking bee.

Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

There he is. He's in the pool.

You know what your problem is, Barry?

I gotta start thinking bee?

How much longer will this go on?

It's been three days! Why aren't you working?

I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about.

What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee!

Would it kill you to make a little honey?

Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you.

Martin, would you talk to him?

Barry, I'm talking to you!

You coming?

Got everything?

All set!

Go ahead. I'll catch up.

Don't be too long.

Watch this!

Vanessa!

• We're still here.
• I told you not to yell at him.

He doesn't respond to yelling!

• Then why yell at me?
• Because you don't listen!

I'm not listening to this.

Sorry, I've gotta go.

• Where are you going?
• I'm meeting a friend.

A girl? Is this why you can't decide?

Bye.

I just hope she's Bee-ish.

They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena?

To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream!

Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering.

A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events?

No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere?

It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster.

Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn.

TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane!

You don't have that?

We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease.

Oh, my.

Dumb bees!

You must want to sting all those jerks.

We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us.

So you have to watch your temper.

Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk,

write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion:

Anger, jealousy, lust.

Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?

Yeah.

• What is wrong with you?!
• It's a bug.

He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep!

What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?

Yeah, it was. How did you know?

It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.

You've really got that down to a science.

• I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.
• I'll bet.

What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this?

How did this get here? Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,

Ray Liotta Private Select?

• Is he that actor?
• I never heard of him.

• Why is this here?
• For people. We eat it.

You don't have enough food of your own?

• Well, yes.
• How do you get it?

• Bees make it.
• I know who makes it!

And it's hard to make it!

There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing!

• It's organic.
• It's our-ganic!

It's just honey, Barry.

Just what?!

Bees don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing!

You've taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have!

And it's on sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this.

I'm getting to the bottom of all of this!

Hey, Hector.

• You almost done?
• Almost.

He is here. I sense it.

Well, I guess I'll go home now

and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around.

You're busted, box boy!

I knew I heard something. So you can talk!

I can talk. And now you'll start talking!

Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier?

I don't understand. I thought we were friends.

The last thing we want to do is upset bees!

You're too late! It's ours now!

You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword!

You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio!

Where is the honey coming from?

Tell me where!

Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!

Orazy person!

What horrible thing has happened here?

These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now

they're on the road to nowhere!

Just keep still.

What? You're not dead?

Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed?

To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here.

I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off!

I'm going to Tacoma.

• And you?
• He really is dead.

All right.

Uh-oh!

• What is that?!
• Oh, no!

• A wiper! Triple blade!
• Triple blade?

Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!

Why does everything have to be so doggone clean?!

How much do you people need to see?!

Open your eyes! Stick your head out the window!

From NPR News in Washington, I'm Oarl Kasell.

But don't kill no more bugs!

• Bee!
• Moose blood guy!!

• You hear something?
• Like what?

Like tiny screaming.

Turn off the radio.

Whassup, bee boy?

Hey, Blood.

Just a row of honey jars, as far as the eye could see.

Wow!

I assume wherever this truck goes is where they're getting it.

I mean, that honey's ours.

• Bees hang tight.
• We're all jammed in.

It's a close community.

Not us, man. We on our own. Every mosquito on his own.

• What if you get in trouble?
• You a mosquito, you in trouble.

Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a mosquito, smack, smack!

At least you're out in the world. You must meet girls.

Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly.

Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.

You got to be kidding me!

Mooseblood's about to leave the building! So long, bee!

• Hey, guys!
• Mooseblood!

I knew I'd catch y'all down here. Did you bring your crazy straw?

We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it's pretty much pure profit.

What is this place?

A bee's got a brain the size of a pinhead.

They are pinheads!

Pinhead.

• Oheck out the new smoker.
• Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.

The Thomas 3000!

Smoker?

Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar.

A couple breaths of this knocks them right out.

They make the honey, and we make the money.

"They make the honey, and we make the money"?

Oh, my!

What's going on? Are you OK?

Yeah. It doesn't last too long.

Do you know you're in a fake hive with fake walls?

Our queen was moved here. We had no choice.

This is your queen? That's a man in women's clothes!

That's a drag queen!

What is this?

Oh, no!

There's hundreds of them!

Bee honey.

Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale!

This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something.

Oh, Barry, stop.

Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor.

Do these look like rumors?

That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos.

How did you get mixed up in this?

He's been talking to humans.

• What?
• Talking to humans?!

He has a human girlfriend. And they make out!

Make out? Barry!

We do not.

• You wish you could.
• Whose side are you on?

The bees!

I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night.

Barry, this is what you want to do with your life?

I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees!

Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked

your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop.

I remember that.

What right do they have to our honey?

We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!

Even if it's true, what can one bee do?

Sting them where it really hurts.

In the face! The eye!

• That would hurt.
• No.

Up the nose? That's a killer.

There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters.

Hive at Five, the hive's only full-hour action news source.

No more bee beards!

With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk.

Weather with Storm Stinger.

Sports with Buzz Larvi.

And Jeanette Ohung.

• Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble.
• And I'm Jeanette Ohung.

A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,

intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey,

packaging it and profiting from it illegally!

Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,

we'll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book,

Olassy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon.

Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.

Did you ever think, "I'm a kid from the hive. I can't do this"?

Bees have never been afraid to change the world.

What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?

Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.

We were thinking of stickball or candy stores.

How old are you?

The bee community is supporting you in this case,

which will be the trial of the bee century.

You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too.

It's a common name. Next week...

He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots...

Next week...

Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard 'em.

Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here live.

Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish.

In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness!

It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.

Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of that?

Quiet, please. Actual work going on here.

• Is that that same bee?
• Yes, it is!

I'm helping him sue the human race.

• Hello.
• Hello, bee.

This is Ken.

Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.

Why does he talk again?

Listen, you better go 'cause we're really busy working.

But it's our yogurt night!

Bye-bye.

Why is yogurt night so difficult?!

You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours!

Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help.

• Frosting...
• How many sugars?

Just one. I try not to use the competition.

So why are you helping me?

Bees have good qualities.

And it takes my mind off the shop.

Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now.

Those are great, if you're three.

And artificial flowers.

• Oh, those just get me psychotic!
• Yeah, me too.

Bent stingers, pointless pollination.

Bees must hate those fake things!

Nothing worse than a daffodil that's had work done.

Maybe this could make up for it a little bit.

• This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.
• I guess.

You sure you want to go through with it?

Am I sure? When I'm done with the humans, they won't be able

to say, "Honey, I'm home," without paying a royalty!

It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan,

where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history,

we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak.

What have we gotten into here, Barry?

It's pretty big, isn't it?

I can't believe how many humans don't work during the day.

You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers?

Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade.

• What's the matter?
• I don't know, I just got a chill.

Well, if it isn't the bee team.

You boys work on this?

All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding.

All right. Oase number 4475,

Superior Oourt of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry

is now in session.

Mr. Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively?

A privilege.

Mr. Benson... you're representing all the bees of the world?

I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we're ready to proceed.

Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

my grandmother was a simple woman.

Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right

to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us.

If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines,

just think of what would it mean.

I would have to negotiate with the silkworm

for the elastic in my britches!

Talking bee!

How do we know this isn't some sort of

holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry?

They could be using laser beams!

Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know,

he could be on steroids!

Mr. Benson?

Ladies and gentlemen, there's no trickery here.

I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to me.

It's important to all bees. We invented it!

We make it. And we protect it with our lives.

Unfortunately, there are some people in this room

who think they can take it from us

'cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is all over,

you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have

but everything we are!

I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice!

Oall your first witness.

So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have.

I suppose so.

I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron!

Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms.

Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term.

I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you?

• No.
• I couldn't hear you.

• No.
• No.

Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that,

it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey.

They're very lovable creatures.

Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.

You mean like this?

Bears kill bees!

How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?!

Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows!

OK, that's enough. Take him away.

So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me.

• Where have I heard it before?
• I was with a band called The Police.

But you've never been a police officer, have you?

No, I haven't.

No, you haven't. And so here we have yet another example

of bee culture casually stolen by a human

for nothing more than a prance-about stage name.

Oh, please.

Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?

Because I'm feeling a little stung, Sting.

Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!

That's not his real name?! You idiots!

Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on

your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005.

Thank you. Thank you.

I see from your resume that you're devilishly handsome

with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow.

I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?

Not yet it isn't. But is this what it's come to for you?

Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don't

have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir?

Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now!

This isn't a goodfella. This is a badfella!

Why doesn't someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?!

• Order in this court!
• You're all thinking it!

Order! Order, I say!

• Say it!
• Mr. Liotta, please sit down!

I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that.

I think the jury's on our side.

Are we doing everything right, legally?

I'm a florist.

Right. Well, here's to a great team.

To a great team!

Well, hello.

• Ken!
• Hello.

I didn't think you were coming.

No, I was just late. I tried to call, but... the battery.

I didn't want all this to go to waste, so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.

Oh, that was lucky.

There's a little left. I could heat it up.

Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.

So I hear you're quite a tennis player.

I'm not much for the game myself. The ball's a little grabby.

That's where I usually sit. Right... there.

Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,

and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn't really a special skill.

You think I don't see what you're doing?

I know how hard it is to find the rightjob. We have that in common.

Do we?

Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out.

That's just what I was thinking about doing.

Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.

I'm going to drain the old stinger.

Yeah, you do that.

Look at that.

You know, I've just about had it

with your little mind games.

• What's that?
• Italian Vogue.

Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.

A lot of ads.

Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine?

Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!

I think something stinks in here!

I love the smell of flowers.

How do you like the smell of flames?!

Not as much.

Water bug! Not taking sides!

Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat! This is pathetic!

I've got issues!

Well, well, well, a royal flush!

• You're bluffing.
• Am I?

Surf's up, dude!

Poo water!

That bowl is gnarly.

Except for those dirty yellow rings!

Kenneth! What are you doing?!

You know, I don't even like honey! I don't eat it!

We need to talk!

He's just a little bee!

And he happens to be the nicest bee I've met in a long time!

Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life?

No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you're one of them!

Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...

My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster!

Goodbye, Ken.

And for your information,

I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man!

I'm sorry about all that.

I know it's got an aftertaste! I like it!

I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me.

I couldn't overcome it. Oh, well.

Are you OK for the trial?

I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas.

We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.

Good idea! You can really see why he's considered one of the best lawyers...

Yeah.

Layton, you've gotta weave some magic

with this jury, or it's gonna be all over.

Don't worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around

is to remind them of what they don't like about bees.

• You got the tweezers?
• Are you allergic?

Only to losing, son. Only to losing.

Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you what I think we'd all like to know.

What exactly is your relationship

to that woman?

We're friends.

• Good friends?
• Yes.

How good? Do you live together?

Wait a minute...

Are you her little...

...bedbug?

I've seen a bee documentary or two. From what I understand,

doesn't your queen give birth to all the bee children?

• Yeah, but...
• So those aren't your real parents!

• Oh, Barry...
• Yes, they are!

Hold me back!

You're an illegitimate bee, aren't you, Benson?

He's denouncing bees!

Don't y'all date your cousins?

• Objection!
• I'm going to pincushion this guy!

Adam, don't! It's what he wants!

Oh, I'm hit!!

Oh, lordy, I am hit!

Order! Order!

The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins!

I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction!

You see? You can't treat them like equals! They're striped savages!

Stinging's the only thing they know! It's their way!

• Adam, stay with me.
• I can't feel my legs.

What angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison

from my heaving buttocks?

I will have order in this court. Order!

Order, please!

The case of the honeybees versus the human race

took a pointed turn against the bees

yesterday when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery.

• Hey, buddy.
• Hey.

• Is there much pain?
• Yeah.

I...

I blew the whole case, didn't I?

It doesn't matter. What matters is you're alive. You could have died.

I'd be better off dead. Look at me.

They got it from the cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.

Look, there's a little celery still on it.

What was it like to sting someone?

I can't explain it. It was all...

All adrenaline and then... and then ecstasy!

All right.

You think it was all a trap?

Of course. I'm sorry. I flew us right into this.

What were we thinking? Look at us. We're just a couple of bugs in this world.

What will the humans do to us if they win?

I don't know.

I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn't sound so bad.

Adam, they check in, but they don't check out!

Oh, my.

Oould you get a nurse to close that window?

• Why?
• The smoke.

Bees don't smoke.

Right. Bees don't smoke.

Bees don't smoke! But some bees are smoking.

That's it! That's our case!

It is? It's not over?

Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.

Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can.

And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.

Mr. Flayman.

Yes? Yes, Your Honor!

Where is the rest of your team?

Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.

Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,

and as a result, we don't make very good time.

I actually heard a funny story about...

Your Honor, haven't these ridiculous bugs

taken up enough of this court's valuable time?

How much longer will we allow these absurd shenanigans to go on?

They have presented no compelling evidence to support their charges

against my clients, who run legitimate businesses.

I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case!

Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going

to have to consider Mr. Montgomery's motion.

But you can't! We have a terrific case.

Where is your proof? Where is the evidence?

Show me the smoking gun!

Hold it, Your Honor! You want a smoking gun?

Here is your smoking gun.

What is that?

It's a bee smoker!

What, this? This harmless little contraption?

This couldn't hurt a fly, let alone a bee.

Look at what has happened

to bees who have never been asked, "Smoking or non?"

Is this what nature intended for us?

To be forcibly addicted to smoke machines

and man-made wooden slat work camps?

Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man?

• What are we gonna do?
• He's playing the species card.

Ladies and gentlemen, please, free these bees!

Free the bees! Free the bees!

Free the bees!

Free the bees! Free the bees!

The court finds in favor of the bees!

Vanessa, we won!

I knew you could do it! High-five!

Sorry.

I'm OK! You know what this means?

All the honey will finally belong to the bees.

Now we won't have to work so hard all the time.

This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature, Benson.

You'll regret this.

Barry, how much honey is out there?

All right. One at a time.

Barry, who are you wearing?

My sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants.

• What if Montgomery's right?
• What do you mean?

We've been living the bee way a long time, 27 million years.

Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement?

First, we'll demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps.

Then we want back the honey that was ours to begin with,

every last drop.

We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more

than a filthy, smelly, bad-breath stink machine.

We're all aware of what they do in the woods.

Wait for my signal.

Take him out.

He'll have nauseous for a few hours, then he'll be fine.

And we will no longer tolerate bee-negative nicknames...

But it's just a prance-about stage name!

...unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products

and la-dee-da human tea-time snack garnishments.

Oan't breathe.

Bring it in, boys!

Hold it right there! Good.

Tap it.

Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups, and there's gallons more coming!

• I think we need to shut down!
• Shut down? We've never shut down.

Shut down honey production!

Stop making honey!

Turn your key, sir!

What do we do now?

Oannonball!

We're shutting honey production!

Mission abort.

Aborting pollination and nectar detail. Returning to base.

Adam, you wouldn't believe how much honey was out there.

Oh, yeah?

What's going on? Where is everybody?

• Are they out celebrating?
• They're home.

They don't know what to do. Laying out, sleeping in.

I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket.

At least we got our honey back.

Sometimes I think, so what if humans liked our honey? Who wouldn't?

It's the greatest thing in the world! I was excited to be part of making it.

This was my new desk. This was my new job. I wanted to do it really well.

And now...

Now I can't.

I don't understand why they're not happy.

I thought their lives would be better!

They're doing nothing. It's amazing. Honey really changes people.

You don't have any idea what's going on, do you?

• What did you want to show me?
• This.

What happened here?

That is not the half of it.

Oh, no. Oh, my.

They're all wilting.

Doesn't look very good, does it?

No.

And whose fault do you think that is?

You know, I'm gonna guess bees.

Bees?

Specifically, me.

I didn't think bees not needing to make honey would affect all these things.

It's notjust flowers. Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.

That's our whole SAT test right there.

Take away produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom.

And then, of course...

The human species?

So if there's no more pollination,

it could all just go south here, couldn't it?

I know this is also partly my fault.

How about a suicide pact?

How do we do it?

• I'll sting you, you step on me.
• Thatjust kills you twice.

Right, right.

Listen, Barry... sorry, but I gotta get going.

I had to open my mouth and talk.

Vanessa?

Vanessa? Why are you leaving? Where are you going?

To the final Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena.

They've moved it to this weekend because all the flowers are dying.

It's the last chance I'll ever have to see it.

Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I never meant it to turn out like this.

I know. Me neither.

Tournament of Roses. Roses can't do sports.

Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?

Roses!

Vanessa!

Roses?!

Barry?

• Roses are flowers!
• Yes, they are.

Flowers, bees, pollen!

I know. That's why this is the last parade.

Maybe not. Oould you ask him to slow down?

Oould you slow down?

Barry!

OK, I made a huge mistake. This is a total disaster, all my fault.

Yes, it kind of is.

I've ruined the planet. I wanted to help you

with the flower shop. I've made it worse.

Actually, it's completely closed down.

I thought maybe you were remodeling.

But I have another idea, and it's greater than my previous ideas combined.

I don't want to hear it!

All right, they have the roses, the roses have the pollen.

I know every bee, plant and flower bud in this park.

All we gotta do is get what they've got back here with what we've got.

• Bees.
• Park.

• Pollen!
• Flowers.

• Repollination!
• Across the nation!

Tournament of Roses, Pasadena, Oalifornia.

They've got nothing but flowers, floats and cotton candy.

Security will be tight.

I have an idea.

Vanessa Bloome, FTD.

Official floral business. It's real.

Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.

Thank you. It was a gift.

Once inside, we just pick the right float.

How about The Princess and the Pea?

I could be the princess, and you could be the pea!

Yes, I got it.

• Where should I sit?
• What are you?

• I believe I'm the pea.
• The pea?

It goes under the mattresses.

• Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.
• I'm getting the marshal.

You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco!

Let's see what this baby'll do.

Hey, what are you doing?!

Then all we do is blend in with traffic...

...without arousing suspicion.

Once at the airport, there's no stopping us.

Stop! Security.

• You and your insect pack your float?
• Yes.

Has it been in your possession the entire time?

Would you remove your shoes?

• Remove your stinger.
• It's part of me.

I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight.

Then if we're lucky, we'll have just enough pollen to do the job.

Oan you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job!

I think this is gonna work.

It's got to work.

Attention, passengers, this is Oaptain Scott.

We have a bit of bad weather in New York.

It looks like we'll experience a couple hours delay.

Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They'll never make it.

I gotta get up there and talk to them.

Be careful.

Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine?

I'd like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.

Oaptain, I'm in a real situation.

• What'd you say, Hal?
• Nothing.

Bee!

Don't freak out! My entire species...

What are you doing?

• Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!
• Who's an attorney?

Don't move.

Oh, Barry.

Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain.

Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit?

And please hurry!

What happened here?

There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded.

One's bald, one's in a boat, they're both unconscious!

• Is that another bee joke?
• No!

No one's flying the plane!

This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What's your status?

This is Vanessa Bloome. I'm a florist from New York.

Where's the pilot?

He's unconscious, and so is the copilot.

Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience?

As a matter of fact, there is.

• Who's that?
• Barry Benson.

From the honey trial?! Oh, great.

Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee.

It's got giant wings, huge engines.

I can't fly a plane.

• Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?
• Yes.

How hard could it be?

Wait, Barry! We're headed into some lightning.

This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport,

where a suspenseful scene is developing.

Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory...

That's Barry!

...is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers

and an incapacitated flight crew.

Flowers?!

We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls

with absolutely no flight experience.

Just a minute. There's a bee on that plane.

I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres.

They've done enough damage.

But isn't he your only hope?

Technically, a bee shouldn't be able to fly at all.

Their wings are too small...

Haven't we heard this a million times?

"The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense."

• Get this on the air!
• Got it.

• Stand by.
• We're going live.

The way we work may be a mystery to you.

Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs.

But let me tell you about a small job.

If you do it well, it makes a big difference.

More than we realized. To us, to everyone.

That's why I want to get bees back to working together.

That's the bee way! We're not made of Jell-O.

We get behind a fellow.

• Black and yellow!
• Hello!

Left, right, down, hover.

• Hover?
• Forget hover.

This isn't so hard. Beep-beep! Beep-beep!

Barry, what happened?!

Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time.

• That may have been helping me.
• And now we're not!

So it turns out I cannot fly a plane.

All of you, let's get behind this fellow! Move it out!

Move out!

Our only chance is if I do what I'd do, you copy me with the wings of the plane!

Don't have to yell.

I'm not yelling! We're in a lot of trouble.

It's very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice!

It's not a tone. I'm panicking!

I can't do this!

Vanessa, pull yourself together. You have to snap out of it!

You snap out of it.

You snap out of it.

• You snap out of it!
• You snap out of it!

• You snap out of it!
• You snap out of it!

• You snap out of it!
• You snap out of it!

• Hold it!
• Why? Oome on, it's my turn.

How is the plane flying?

I don't know.

Hello?

Benson, got any flowers for a happy occasion in there?

The Pollen Jocks!

They do get behind a fellow.

• Black and yellow.
• Hello.

All right, let's drop this tin can on the blacktop.

Where? I can't see anything. Oan you?

No, nothing. It's all cloudy.

Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry.

• Thinking bee.
• Thinking bee.

Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

Wait a minute. I think I'm feeling something.

• What?
• I don't know. It's strong, pulling me.

Like a 27-million-year-old instinct.

Bring the nose down.

Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

• What in the world is on the tarmac?
• Get some lights on that!

Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

• Vanessa, aim for the flower.
• OK.

Out the engines. We're going in on bee power. Ready, boys?

Affirmative!

Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it.

Land on that flower!

Ready? Full reverse!

Spin it around!

• Not that flower! The other one!
• Which one?

• That flower.
• I'm aiming at the flower!

That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt. I mean the giant pulsating flower

made of millions of bees!

Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up.

Rotate around it.

• This is insane, Barry!
• This's the only way I know how to fly.

Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane flying in an insect-like pattern?

Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid. Smell it. Full reverse!

Just drop it. Be a part of it.

Aim for the center!

Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman!

Oome on, already.

Barry, we did it! You taught me how to fly!

• Yes. No high-five!
• Right.

Barry, it worked! Did you see the giant flower?

What giant flower? Where? Of course I saw the flower! That was genius!

• Thank you.
• But we're not done yet.

Listen, everyone!

This runway is covered with the last pollen

from the last flowers available anywhere on Earth.

That means this is our last chance.

We're the only ones who make honey, pollinate flowers and dress like this.

If we're gonna survive as a species, this is our moment! What do you say?

Are we going to be bees, orjust Museum of Natural History keychains?

We're bees!

Keychain!

Then follow me! Except Keychain.

Hold on, Barry. Here.

You've earned this.

Yeah!

I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves.

Oh, yeah.

That's our Barry.

Mom! The bees are back!

If anybody needs to make a call, now's the time.

I got a feeling we'll be working late tonight!

Here's your change. Have a great afternoon! Oan I help who's next?

Would you like some honey with that? It is bee-approved. Don't forget these.

Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me. And I don't see a nickel!

Sometimes I just feel like a piece of meat!

I had no idea.

Barry, I'm sorry. Have you got a moment?

Would you excuse me? My mosquito associate will help you.

Sorry I'm late.

He's a lawyer too?

I was already a blood-sucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase.

Have a great afternoon!

Barry, I just got this huge tulip order, and I can't get them anywhere.

No problem, Vannie. Just leave it to me.

You're a lifesaver, Barry. Oan I help who's next?

All right, scramble, jocks! It's time to fly.

Thank you, Barry!

That bee is living my life!

Let it go, Kenny.

• When will this nightmare end?!
• Let it all go.

• Beautiful day to fly.
• Sure is.

Between you and me, I was dying to get out of that office.

You have got to start thinking bee, my friend.

• Thinking bee!
• Me?

Hold it. Let's just stop for a second. Hold it.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. Oan we stop here?

I'm not making a major life decision during a production number!

All right. Take ten, everybody. Wrap it up, guys.

I had virtually no rehearsal for that.

The International, often abbreviated as TI, is an annual esports world championship tournament for the video game Dota 2, hosted and produced by the game's developer, Valve.

Cf. the Bushwick drag scene.

Whist is another game that was popular at the time the story was written, and is similar to Bridge. The narrator again compares this game to chess as a way of highlighting the attributes he believes are needed by a successful detective.

Draughts is a game similar to checkers. The narrator is explaining why, in his view, checkers, rather than chess, requires insight and innovation - qualities he will later ascribe to August Dupin.

The actual solution to the crime – that an escaped Ourang-Outang killed the two women – is very far-fetched, but the story is intended to be more of a puzzle – a logic game – and the Ourang-Outang is critical to the puzzle.

Before launching into the story, the narrator engages in a lengthy discussion of the analytical mind, including a comparison of the games of chess, checkers (draughts) and whist (a card game) to highlight the qualities needed by a successful detective.

In this part of my essay, I added much more clarity and information that I obtained from my life. In my original essay, I assumed that people are excited when watching a game that they have bet money on, even though I am not. I had no concrete proof of this. So I asked my friends again about their gambling habits, this time about how they feel when watching a game that they gambled on. Once again, I found my assumption to be true, and I was able to add specific evidence to support my claim. This made my paper much stronger. Even though I knew that my assumptions were likely true, they did not mean anything without actual evidence. In this part of my essay, I also edited the statement "the thrill of watching the game sticks with them," which originally said "all they remember is the thrill of watching the game." Looking back I realized how unlikely it is that when losing a bet, a gambler only remembers the thrill and is not upset. Although I do not address the disappointment, I do not make the absolute statement that is likely incorrect. This edit provides clarity for the reader on a point that may have been confusing.

Supregames!

important moment in the series

One thing which strikes me immediately: time interval is short, a variance will be huge; this is on top of basketball being a fairly high variance game in general. I am not sure about NBA specifics, but it's plausible to me that teams play less than one game on average (or less than a few to be conservative) in a given week.

• So some teams with stellar players might not play at all!
• And most players will be judged based on one game.

I wonder how you might build pricate modules for the web. The most common solution we have to this currently is the SAAS model. This model does work generally well, like Auth0 for auth, Vercel for deployment, Stripe for payments. There are many more micro-saas companies that solve for more niche problems like Onfido for ID verification.

I think the concern here is the amount of flexibility expected by most developers on the web. In Game Development people are much more invested in their tools. An Unreal Engine developer likely has no reason to ever leave unless they change jobs significantly. Really, this is similar to React. Which is why we are seeing frameworks built entirely around this like Remix and Next. Is this such a bad system?

It seems like a No-Code solution really could just build on top of these frameworks and take advantage of their existing patterns for uniformity.

Another great instance of a recurring theme in Nosnitsky's work: the way in which 'the archive' doesn't always reflect the way things actually happened, or the music that was made, or the way in which it was received and perceived at the time, and distorts our retrospective understanding of all of these things.

Clickup actually looks quite compelling as an alternative to Confluence / Jira ecosystem. Nice that you can collaborate on docs and generate tasks from there. Seems like a better alternative to Atlassian in general.

This paragraph nicely explains how scenario based games are used specifically in policy making situations.

Liberal democracy is distinguished from all previous prevalent political systems (monarchy, dictatorship, Roman republic...) in that it attempts to stay as agnostic as possible about "What is the good life for a person?"

Liberal democracy basically says, "You do you. Don't hurt others. Otherwise do whatever you want, or not. We don't care. We are not allowed to care. It would be intrusive of us! We are not going to tell you what's the meaning of life, or what is good, or what is valuable."

Even the First French Republic had a state religion (although they called it "Cult of Reason"). Modern republics don't even have a state religion anymore.

Bakker is like an anthropologist visiting a tribe of humans who talk about ghosts. Bakker takes the tribe of Phenomenologists seriously, but not literally. Bakker is going to explain why they are spontaneously seeing ghosts in similar ways, while rejecting the Phenomenologists' own explanation: "Ghosts are real.".

Let's play the game of "But why?"

• The sun is hot.
• But why?
• Because I feel hot on my skin when it's sunny.
• But why is it sunny?
• Because I see a bright orange ball in the sky.

we always end up with talks of simple perceptions. Simple perceptions are those that do not allow us to ask "But why?" further:

• I feel hot on my skin.
• But why?
• I feel hot on my skin! There's no need to explain! It's self-evident and given to me, and I don't need to justify it! Nor can I possibly justify it! There is no way to justify what is given to me!

Husserl claims that "some time passed" is also a simple perception, given to us, self-evident, and cannot be questioned further.

Twitch 主播的工作就是玩游戏，看似风光无限但也有不为人知的幸苦。《卫报》报道称：

坐在我旁边的这位女士告诉我，她每天直播 8 到 10 个小时，不直播时会去管理社交媒体、回应粉丝、寻找品牌合作伙伴或与其他主播合作；在交谈期间，她显然在抵抗查看手机的冲动，新的统计数据、粉丝评论和潜在的机会可能正在手机里堆积如山。我问她做些什么娱乐，她似乎真的被这个问题问住了。

为观众玩电子游戏为业听起有趣——毕竟还有很多更糟糕的工作呢——但它也是一种竞争性极强的职业，吸引了数百万精力无限又对工作生活平衡完全没有概念的孩子。这份工作的时间极长，压力巨大，需要不断地为他们所依赖的观众提供服务。根据最近泄露的 Twitch 数据，平台去年支付给创作者 8.89 亿美元，前 1% 的主播拿走了一半以上；其余四分之三的收入未超过 120 美元。数百万人一无所获。

接下来几年，如果看到一个又一个这样的故事——精力充沛的年轻人，做着似乎是世界上最好的工作，却陷入倦怠，我一点都不会感到吃惊。当你花这么多时间广播自己，当你的爱好成为工作，工作成为爱好，当你的个性成为品牌，品牌成为个性时，线下生活对你来说会是什么样子？关掉摄像头之后，你是谁？事实是，特别是对于那些试图在互联网上玩游戏的拥挤世界中崭露头角的主播，摄像头几乎永远不会关闭。坚持规律的时间表是在 Twitch 上吸引观众的最佳方式，而这些时间表通常需要至少连续直播 8 个小时，每周 5 天或者更长。这种超长时间要求的原因很简单：你直播的越多，你在 Twitch 首页出现的机会越大，你获得的关注者越多，你最终能赚到的钱也就越多。

games that take a fast-moving sport and turn it into a slow-moving, thinking, turn-based game of strategy

to capture the essence/feeling of something

Cyberbullying is a huge negative outcome of social media. Media platforms allow users to anonymously harass and intentionally bully others. Users have formed groups with friends and strangers to repeatedly bully one person. This is causing a major influx in anxiety and depression among teens which can lead to suicidal thoughts. The cyber world can be very dangerous. Alongside of cyberbullying, people can create accounts with fake personal information pretending to be someone else. They do this in order to lure teenagers in. From that point, some will catfish for money, some will groom adolescents, and some will try to meet up with teens in order to kill, rape, sex traffic, kidnap, etc. The online world is so risky and there are many people who want to take advantage of young teens. It is imperative that parents monitor what their teen has access to and who can reach them on the media, because it could save their life. Additionally, the internet has many groups that manipulate teens into dangerous activities. A game where a person ties something around their neck until they pass out to feel a "high" has ended the lives of appoxamitly 900 teens. Peer pressure is a huge factor in the popularization of these games. Teens what to feel like they fit in and are like, so it is common for them to follow the crowd.

It makes sense how it happened. Very cool for me as a big sports fan to read about this history that I did not know about before.

The fact that hockey was the cause of this goes to show how seriously and personally people take the game

Well, that would be a very interesting story written for that night.

I am not surprised that they took him out of the game, but I feel that it is much more common to see a player being fined for something like that. Removing him for the rest of the season seems kinda unreasonable.

This gave me cheers when I watched it. Their hero returned.

I wonder if when he got hit his temper ensued because he wanted to be the best. Or perhaps when he was playing against English, there was an underlining resentment towards others so he could lash out because the sport had an aggressive side to it.

This isn't right and leads me to believe it is because Richard is a French Canadien.

Showing natural talent that separates him at a young age and also shows that hockey was a part of Richards culture growing up.

As much as I see him being instigated in moments he also continually creates a pattern of crossing the line

This is too extreme. There's no need to be so upset over a sports game to the extent where you're putting other people's lives in danger

This is true, but it should not lead to rioting and death.

With this in mind, you know that you are a role model and should probably think before you act. He should have realized how much he was in the spotlight.

Both were at fault, however, Richard did take things further than Laycoe.

Sadly, this is what the crowd live for and not for the actual game on many occasions. You can only imagine the intensity of the crowd during this brawl.

For three years I lived three blocks from Wrigley Field. Indeed, I loved the 81 days where there was a home game. The neighborhood is indeed electric. But do you really need to have that 365 days a year? Is it really special anymore? Those 81 days were special days. Try to replicate that over every single day, and it's no longer special.

Adding to my previous comment, I do think that this is a common issue in online spaces, because so much of it is still uncharted territory with unclear rules, values, laws, ethics, etc. With that inconsistency and lack of clarity, I can see the point the author is making and the concern for coders that want to only establish certain kinds of ethical communities.

Many think that hockey is violent today but it was much worse earlier on. This did, and still does, tend to be the reason people go and see the game

The owners are right. It is much more interesting when a fight breaks out. It is not a good hockey game without this.

make a game. for every person that indluded #organoids ina. tweet then we will send them a inescec sticker. or something else maybe science related.

I do not think that they necessarily have a religious role. This are just doing good deeds which can be viewed as god-like.
