Haven't watched the segment yet, but standardized tests were always an attempt to find a "one size fits all" solution to set metrics on how well students are learning over time. Since public education can't be individualized it's the only method that administrators have to gauge "success" since the opinion of parents, students and teachers are off limits.

I've never actually watched his show on HBO. I just watch whatever they put on youtube. Is there anything worth watching that doesn't end up on youtube?

I think only the serious shit they put on youtube. A lot of funny bits are left out.

Really ?

Actually there seems to be two or three videos each week. One for the main segment, one for the segment after that (3 minutes or so) and one for a feature I am unsure of the name (narrated by boom voice). As far as I can tell, the whole episode gets uploaded.

EDIT : Hummm. Only seem to be the main segment plus web exclusives. Would have sweared I had seen the other ones, but maybe it was different uploaders ?

Because the internet is run by gamer idiots. I remember the top rated comment on one of his FIFA pieces was a long rallying call for him to "expose EA"...

- no-one who supports The Donald will be watching that. Who am I kidding?)

I had my laughs with his last segment on Brexit, but that was one of the weakest he had on the show. Painting the "No" camp with the sole big brush of UKIP and xenophobia is not really gonna cut it if you want to seriously engage Euroskeptics.

people voting out are the people that are left behind and can't compete with migrants, of course they still won't be able to compete after britain leaves because of the realities of global economies but whatever

Tbh the poor have been given too much of the blame over brexit. It wasn't just them, a lot of middle and upper class 'little englanders' voted out as well.

The difference being when shit goes tits up they'll mostly be fine, unless the country goes crazy the police strike and you have feral working class people roaming the street looking to slit necks.

A fun part of my comment ~~hobby~~ ~~sickness~~ duty on these John Oliver videos, because they're all 15-20 minutes, is seeing how easily you can tell who didn't watch it really, people dropped out of this one before the three minute mark:

So are we gonna ignore the fact that the tens of thousands of homicides from blacks are killed by other blacks. Same with whites killing other white people. You know from gangs. Those guys that are stuck with the shit lifestyle from poor housing and job marketing, as well as shit education systems. That forces a number of them to a life of crime and kill the police as well as other black people. I support this too, police need to have accountability but so does the governments for not providing for poor black and hispanic neighborhoods that can prevent them from having a lethal lifestyle.

"It's a dimaryp scheme"

I have been contacted via mail by someone trying to recruit me. I excused myself but felt a little cowardly to not just straight up call it a scam. Don't remember which company it was but what I found the most striking is that, on top of being transparently a pyramid scam, the product description was the most snake oil shit ever (miracle cosmetic, IIRC) which is a recurring trend. Guess it meshes well with the whole corrupted new age "self help yourself a millionnaire by the power of your will, don't listen to reason or science or basic mathematics" ?
