C'mon, you should at least attempt a search before requesting help. I literally cut and pasted his descriptive text into Google and the top result was correct.

Is it only not in taste to ask for references when numbers aren't involved? It was a simple request. Bet you could have fulfilled it.

The point is to try and look for yourself too, instead of expecting to be given everything instantly with no effort - especially if it takes ONE FUCKING GOOGLE SEARCH /rant

If your one opening argument rides on being someone who watches YouTube all day, you're going to meet some questions. If someone asks that question, the wrong answer is to tell them to watch YouTube all day with you. He referenced something like all we do is watch the Maury Povich version of the Internet all day. I asked, and this is what I get.

Literally no one will even attempt to address my original concern. We love references like we love cranberry sauce on our turkeys.

I think they're afraid I'll buy some deviled eggs if I talk.

Edit:

I hold true to what I said, with the caveat that I picked the wrong fight on the wrong day.

The reference is to the shooting of Philando Castile by police in Minnesota. This is about following the news, not about being glued to YouTube (the link below is hosted on YouTube, but is in fact an ABC news segment).

You're the only person with the balls to show it. Thanks. There are so many willing to deal with what it takes but the most important thing is for people to bust out the qwerty and speak.

It rides on how good google's natural language processing is these days. If you wanna think of yourself as a hacker, you need a little bit of initiative.
