Le lolcow army…

[intro music]

Hey gay demons, your dark overlord trans furry here.

I'm pretty sure you already seen Kopyboat's shitshow where he dismantles each and every

one of my arguments…

(Kopy) "And also, um… no offense, but I don't really think that somebody who calls

himself a gay demon is in any position to be talking about psychology…"

*JMAA bursts into laughter*

(Jeff Smith) "Are you attacking his sexuality now?"

(Jeff Smith) "What are you, a fucking faggot?"

*JMAA bursts into more laughter*

(JMAA) "O- OK, what's the correlation between knowing about psychology and having

an actual name for a fanbase?"

These two guys, Boyd and Kopy, like to play victim a lot.

Yup.

And the funniest thing is that these two came up with the most expected and obvious response

to my video about Boyd I could ever see on my career.

This video will document with SOLID PROOF (wink wink) on the actual meltdown both Boyd

and Kopy had since I've made the Internet Hell on Boyd.

And no big surprise, they just fell for it.

[BOYD HIDING IN HIS SHELL]

Boyd has been the least vocal on this matter so far.

But what Boyd has done was basically equally bafflingly expected.

I found his shitty Blogspot blog where he just reposted my video which could possibly

lead to the hordes of 8chan retards to spam dislikes on that video.

"Have you ever wondered what sort of Mutant watches Britbong?

Wonder no longer…"

"From things I had nothing to do with, like Encyclopedia Dramatica and 8 Chan, to things

I actually did, like my blog, this very special gentleman seems to have a big ole crush on

Britbong.

This is possibly the most amazing thing I've seen in a while."

So you say you got nothing to do with ED or 8chan, right?

Hmmm…

(JMAA in video) "Nothing like a good ol' friend… and Boyd has got plenty of good

friends out there that we must give him credit for!

He's got the Encyclopedia Dramatica sysops, an 8chan moderator, KOPY HIMSELF…"

(JMAA in video) "So, what does Boyd use this friends for?

He uses them to sockpuppet his way to bring down Britbong by defaming him and doxing him

in numerous outlets."

Boyd, I know you're fucking slow, I knew you're not directly involved with the vandalizing

of Encyclopedia Dramatica, but you still got Kopy to defend you on your behalf there, so

maybe what you say falls pretty much void…

Oh no!

Now somebody is going to write an entire Encyclopedia Dramatica article about me claiming I'm

a trans furfag with a photo of someone that isn't me dressed in women's clothing!

Like, that's going to totally work!

In fact, Kopy seems to be so overly defensive of you when I just roasted you.

Sounds like a little bit of a crush you got on Kopy when you said I got one on Britbong,

isn't it?

Hmm…

[KOPY ACTING SPERG]

I said it before, and I'll say it now, the actual crush that seems to defend Boyd's

ass this much is mainly the autistic manlet known as Mark Ortiz, also known as "Kopy",

"Kopyboat" or "Krappleguy", whatever name it is, they all equally sound autistic.

Since the video was made, Kopy has found a new target to shoot at next to Britbong, and

it seems like I'm in the fire range of him and all his braindead /cow/ retards!

"I think you're giving Boyd way too much credit.

He doesn't even "stalk" Britbong."...

yet you both seem to stalk Britbong and now you stalk ME on every piece of social media

I'm currently in, like my STEAM PAGE?

Yes, seems like Kopy himself made all this butthurt rage thread on my Steam group page

trying to deny and debunk everything I said in my video.

While showing no proof or evidence, because he's such a goddamn sperg.

"Oh and don't you think it's a little ironic that someone like Dominic who HATES trannies

and furries would want someone like you (who fits boths of those descriptions) to defend

him?"

Ah, calling me a trans furry… excellent choice.

HA HA!

DAMN, KOPY, YOU GOT BAITED!

I actually said that insult a lot because I basically expected it from both of you!

(JMAA) "...TopLane the cringy trans furry demon on Second Life here…"

(JMAA) "...my Second Life tranny avatar…"

(JMAA) "Sure!

I'm a trans furry!"

Kopy, I'm not sure if you're well aware of this, but, you're making an evidence

of yourself.

Like, you're actually parodying yourself at this point.

And if he shows proof or evidence, it's the same horseshit and probably doctored screenshots

over and over again repeated like a 15 second loop.

Wait a second… is that the Skype tranny screenshot?

Wow, Kopy!

You seem to have proven me right!

[KOPY AND HIS BRIT]

In the midst of all the shitshow Kopy was causing me, the funniest thing is that I'm

not even paying back shit to Kopy that much, yet he gets incredibly mad every time at me!

Who's been the most vocal in this case, more than me even, is Britbong, who just completely

cucked over and over again the Mr. Mark Autizmo.

(Britbong) "I thought that you had, like, connections…"

(Based Bungie) "I'LL GET YOU, DR.

VENTURE!!"

*everyone laughs*

(Jeff Smith) "I'LL GET YOU…!!"

(Britbong) "Can you give us some examples of your voice talent?"

(JMAA) *Dr. Claw impersonation* "I'll get you, Dr. Gadget…

I'll get you…!!"

*laughter*

(Jeff Smith) "See?

JMAA makes a better voice acting."

(Britbong) "See?

I think I'm gonna hire JMAA...

"

My Dr. Claw impersonation seems on point.

You know what I can also voice?

"I'LL GET YOU, DR.

VENTURE!!"

(Britbong) "Why are you making things up with no proof or backing?

Like, you could literally say anything…"

(Kopy) "I HAVE THE VIDEO…"

(Britbong) "You could say anything out of lies, and, you know, it's a bit silly, really.

But we all know you're a pedo freak that goes after children."

Kopy, please, keep saying you got proof.

You're giving me a DalasReview kind of boner here.

(JMAA) "You know, the case is, the more you say it's real, the more real it is,

it's kinda like Santa Claus, if you believe strong in Santa Claus, he's going to be

literally real."

[THE KOPY CYCLE]

Kopy seems to follow a clear pattern on what he does lately when he gets into one of these

obvious arguments with either me or Britbong.

First, he's constantly talking like he's legitly mad.

Like, he's actually salty all the time, and this is demonstrated in the numerous recordings

me and Britbong released on Soundcloud and YouTube.

Second, his so-claimed "proof" that he constantly shows is pretty much horseshit.

Kopy, don't just think I'm that fucking stupid.

Even if they are screenshots of Skype or Twitter, we still live in a fucking time where Photoshop

or the web inspector exist.

Any screenshot can be fake if you got half a brain.

Third, he enjoys repeating that so-called "proof" over and over and over and over

expecting shit to change.

Like, he really thinks that's going to completely work.

But hey, maybe if you repeat that proof 80 more times, sure thing!

It will become more real!

"Hey, Britbong!

What happened to Upraksi?"

*Kopy repeats "what happened to Upraksi" for 10 hours*

And fourth, he legitly thinks I'm not in the position of defending Britbong because

he hates "tranny gay furries", and I'm a "tranny gay furry" myself.

Look, Kopy, Britbong isn't a fucking animal.

He just liked my videos and supported my video on Boyd regardless of me being gay or having

transexual characters on my Bandcamp.

And he would just have probably known this at the time he did.

Also, Kopy, even if Britbong is an actual homophobic edgy cunt, that's no excuse for

me to stop liking his content or defending him, especially when I can take perfectly

a diss.

I'm no Social Justice Warrior who goes and thinks like "I DON'T LIKE HIM BECAUSE

HE HAS A DIFFERENT POLITICAL OPINION THAN ME! *sob*".

No.

I like Britbong's content and personality because he's entertaining and he's actually

funny.

Unlike anything that you will ever make in your entire life.

You cuck.

[AFTERMATH]

And so, Boyd and Kopy have clearly demonstrated that they can just prove me right with their

salty business.

I find it incredibly funny that after I made my video on Boyd, and while you were both

conspiring in the 8chan /cow/ board, I still generated a bit of free publicity from all

of this.

It only seemed that it generated me a couple extra subscribers to my channel, and, hell,

even I made a cool t-shirt Boyd design which Britbong liked!

Buy my t-shirts.

During your debate with Britbong on stream, Kopy, Brit has just generated an entire ocean

of donations to his channel out of all the people who already hate your guts, and even

then, he topped the over 1000 peak viewers on his stream, which only makes it look like

you're generating him even more publicity and respect.

And what do you guys do?

You constantly stalk us on a regular basis, constantly talking shit on us and even behind

our backs on 8chan, and even to the point of trying to raid us on a constant brigade

of shitty dislikes on our videos.

Like you legitly think dislikes are going to do shit!

HA HA HA HA HA!

You see, Kopy, maybe Britbong has done some ugly shit as you say, maybe Britbong seems

to be the bad guy here as you say, but… here's the thing, and I'm going to say

it again: Britbong will always be funnier and more entertaining than what you actually

are, regardless of the ugly shit he's probably done.

And that's the main thing I value the most from Britbong.

Britbong is a really good content creator.

But more importantly, Britbong just stole your fucking girlfriend.

And sure, you can keep brigading my channel with your pals at 8chan and the sort!

That sure will work!

It only seemed to have demonstrated to totally work on "taking me down"!

If you're a regular 8chan user who just came here, be sure to hit on the "subscribe"

button to thank me for making Boyd and Kopy even more entertaining for you.

I'll see you next time, when I get doxed and I get mysterious private number phone

calls from the lolcows!

Oooooooooo weeeeeeeee!

*song cues*

Mark Ortiz mad when the brit steals cuck pussy His meltdown real fuckin bad while keep him

busy Look those little small girls pants over pussy

Guess it ain't that real bad when your name Kopy

Shaq : 'The Earth Is Flat' - tech and science - Duration: 3:24.

Shaq: �The Earth Is Flat�

Shaquille O�Neal has become the latest celebrity to join the flat-earth society, declaring

that our minds have been manipulated to accept �the lie that the earth is round.� The

big man even offered �proof� of his claims � he �drives coast to coast� and �this

sh*t is flat to me.�

Shaq, speaking on his podcast this week, was dismissive of any evidence that proves the

earth is round.

When satellite imagery that shows the earth is round was brought up, Shaq immediately

threw the evidence out of court, saying �Oh, satellite imagery � that could be drawn

or made up.�

�It�s true.

The Earth is flat.

The Earth is flat.

Yes, it is.

Listen, there are three ways to manipulate the mind what you read, what you see and what

you hear.

In school, first thing they teach us is, �Oh, Columbus discovered America,� but when he

got there, there were some fair-skinned people with the long hair smoking on the peace pipes.

So, what does that tell you?

Columbus didn�t discover America.

�So, listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this s*** is flat to me.

I�m just saying.

I drive from Florida to California all the time, and it�s flat to me.

I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle, and all that stuff about gravity, have you

looked outside Atlanta lately and seen all these buildings?

You mean to tell me that China is under us?

China is under us?

It�s not.

The world is flat.�

Yahoo Sports reports: Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving was the first NBA player

to reveal his flat-Earth beliefs, summarized as such: �Can you really think of us rotating

around the sun, and all planets align, rotating in specific dates, being perpendicular with

what�s going on with these �planets� and stuff like this?�

Soon afterwards, Denver Nuggets wing Wilson Chandler and Golden State Warriors forward

Draymond Green endorsed Irving�s flat-Earth theory, with the latter explaining away NASA�s

photos of the planet from space by suggesting everyone can manipulate doctored photos of

the globe on their phones.

The NBA storyline became so outrageous commissioner Adam Silver had to address it in his annual

state-of-the-league address at the All-Star Game, clarifying, �I believe the world is

round,� and suggesting Irving was making some broader social commentary about fake

news in this country.

Which, no he wasn�t.

Irving doubled down on his flat-Earth theory this past week, before detailing his lucid

dreaming skills and informing us how an ex-teammate came to him in a dream to say goodbye.

These are all very real things that NBA players have said.

This is one wild theme to the 2016-17 NBA season, and Shaq just made it wilder when

asked about Irving�s flat-Earth theory on his podcast.

ARCHEER Essential Oil Diffuser🌷 Color Changing AROMA THERAPY Lights 👈 - Duration: 6:49.

Hi, So today we have the Archeer Aroma Therapy Essential Oil Diffuser

As you can tell, I already opened the box - this is what it came in - it comes with

a little measuring cup, the thing itself and the AC cord so now we are going to try and

put this together by putting some water in it and a little essential oil

now I have some lavender with me so we can try this out.

Alright, so now that that is done we will put the cap on

Looks like that top is pretty easy to take on and off

Yes it is So now we're going to turn this on.Alright,

it's on it booted up pretty fast

(Laughter) It did!

That started putting out the mist right away Some of them take awhile

Let me show you the buttons So there are 2 main buttons on this device

there is the mist button which you can rotate between off, one hour, two hours...and the

first button when you turn it on rotates between a variety of colors and if you continue

to press it will rotate between a brighter and a lighter version of that color that you

just selected and there are an array of colors that you can choose from even off

Yeah, it think it said there are 7 different colors

yes and you know what I noticed that this device

is really quiet yes it is I don't hear anything from over here - absolutely nogthing - don't

hear any kind of motor running so that's great if you want to just keep it in the background

- use it to meditate and not be focused on what's happening another thing I notice is

that the faux wood finish is strikingly beautiful.

Yes, it is it is actually made of some sort of plastic but and that makes it practical

and functional but it sure looks like carved wood

Aromatherapy is becoming really popular now Yeah it is popular - you can use it for relaxing,

meditating, doing yoga or just anything I use it to focus while I'm studying.

I think it's great for an office Alright, so this has an automatic shut off.

It comes in handy especially when the water runs out and when that happens there is also

a small tiny beep to let you know that the water has run out.

and you have another diffuser you've been using?

yes I think that the Archeer is a lot more attractive

a lot more aesthetically pleasing - the other one is kind of - it's really functional but

it has a translucent plastic look - kind of cheap-looking so I would say the Archeer diffuser

is something you could put into the living room.

Alright so why don't you turn down the lights so we can see these lights?

Ok, good idea There we have most of the lights out yes so

now you can see the cool purple that comes out

Oh, that is really nice so it just changed colors to...is that lime

green?

Yes I have some of the lights on

to take a look at the color change with the Archeer

I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly - it's got the 2 ee's so I think its pronounced Archeer

and not Archer and you can have it so it just stays on one

color which might be what you want to do for a night

light I find the color changing fascinating, but

it might be better to have...what do you think would be a good color for a night light?

They say blue is not that great to look at before bed...like a blue screen or a cell

phone something before you go to sleep...maybe the soothing green - a natural green color

I've seen some of these before where the mist is barely visible so I do enjoy seeing that

it is working and there is something kind of mesmerizing about watching the vapor out

of the top I guess you could run the diffuser without

essential oils if you just wanted to get the effect of the vapor, the mist

I think there are multiple purposes, multiple objectives..it is visual and what is the sense

I'm trying to think of?

The sense of smell...olfactory?

I have no idea ok it's not auditory, that's great because you

don't hear it - it has a great visual effect and I guess it is called olfactory ...olfactory

senses Alright so this is the Archeer Essential Oil

Diffuser Looks like a great product.

Thanks for watching

The Director's Blog - January 2016 - Duration: 7:05.

Well good morning I'm Dave Stockwell, Medical Center Director here for VA

Northern California. If I haven't met you before and you're working for us,

welcome to 2016 VA Northern California. I thought I'd just take a minute on the

director's blog this month and share a little bit about what things we should

celebrate that we've accomplished in 2015 and look forward to a few things in 2016.

There's three things I wanted to highlight that I'm really proud of from this last year .

The first one has to do with how long patients are waiting for appointments.

You know, from January of 2015 to January of 2016 we've had a over 300 percent

reduction in the number of patients on our electronic waiting list. We're adding

clinic capacity, we had forty two thousand more appointments last year

than this year, and we're getting patients seen more timely. So a significant

accomplishment for our health care system is to be able to provide care

when the veterans in need it and I'm really proud of the work that you've all

done in accomplishing that.

Secondly, in 2015 we were one of the highest utilizers in the country of new

drugs to treat hepatitis C for veterans. In fact, more than 600 of our patients

got treatment, with new medications, that has over a 90% cure rate for hepatitis C.

This is fantastic news for our patients that have suffered with this chronic

ailment, oftentimes, for years and years and years. Now there's a cure.

We were able to meet that need and provide that medication to over 600 of our

patients last year. Finally, as far as a 2015 accomplishment, there's a patient

satisfaction survey that's administered outside the VA. One of the questions on the

surveys is, they asked veterans about their satisfaction with the health care

system and they asked a question, "Can you get care when you need it?" and we

had a significant increase in positive response from our patient's.

We've picked as an organization two value streams and we've said,

this is where we're going to put our energy for

performance improvement, our creative energy, to try and fix these issues.

One of them has to do, again, with access for care in a timely fashion.

We have a value stream that's identified 12 rapid process improvement workshops,

one each month over the course of this year. Several of them that we're going to do.

One of them is to lower the clinic cancellation rate.

So when a patient needs an appointment

and the provider calls out we cancel, we have to rebook them in the future.

That's a lot of rework, that's a lot of dissatisfaction and we're trying to

figure out what options do we have to actually lower the amount of times

we cancel the clinic appointment and have to rebook it for the patient.

Another thing that we're gonna do, is try and make sure that we have appropriate

utilization of consult requests for specialty care there's an option called

an E-consult where instead of sending the patient to an appointment with the

specialist, an ordering provider can actually get an opinion from the

specialist electronically to then determine whether they actually need to

be seen in clinic. This will dramatically reduce the volume of requests to

schedule specialty care appointments if we utilize this E-consult capability.

Finally, one of the groups is gonna look at how do we do a better job of filling

short notice open slots in clinic. So, a patient calls in and says "I can't make it to my

appointment next week." How do we go about making sure we get another veteran into

that slot so it doesn't go unused? These are all strategies we're putting in place to

try and make sure we're meeting the patient need, we're providing timely access

to care. So those are three of the things we're going to do in the access value

stream. The second value stream is about the veteran experience. As you've heard

me say many times before, I don't want our patients to feel like they've come

to the DMV when they stopped at the VA. I wanted to make sure that they feel

respected, honored, and that were finding a way to meet their quality health care

needs appropriately. We're going to continue to work on the phone call

experience patients when calls on the phone. I'm so proud of our telephone line today.

They reported that yesterday we had 1,400 and some calls. 17 of which,

were abandoned before they got to the call. It took them 15 seconds to answer the

phone and meet the needs of the veteran patients. A year ago, two years ago that

might have been a three or four minute wait with up to a 30% abandonment rate.

So we've made dramatic improvement, but there's still work to be done across our

entire system every time a patient picks up the phone and tries to call us.

We're going to try and improve the veteran experience with phone calls. We're also

trying to help educate our patients on how do you navigate the system. So we're

looking forward to building some help tools for veterans.

We're in the process of creating a new patient guide,

we're structuring new patient orientation classes, and we're going to work on

making videos on our internet site where a patient can go at their own time and

leisure and get frequently asked questions about how does this really

work at VA Northern California, what do I need to do, who do I contact, what

should I expect in that process. And then finally we're going to try to institute

a new process for staff for direct veteran contact to stay close and

connected to our mission

the "Our Healthy Home" strategy that were employing this year. And so for employees

that don't get to interact with veterans we're going to create venues where, maybe on a

monthly basis, they can have an opportunity to work in an information

desk, to escort patients across the system as a navigator or helper, to give

opportunities where folks that might work in a department that they never

actually interact with a veteran where they can stay connected to here's who

were caring for, here's who were treating. We want VA care to be a

personal experience for our veterans and we need our staff to make sure they're

connected to veterans. So we're going to work on direct veteran contact for

staff the don't get an opportunity to otherwise do that. Hopefully by now all of you have

heard about "Our Healthy Home". That's the mantra we're using, the tagline, the slogan

for our new strategic initiatives. We've asked each individual employee to

incorporate a personal plan for their role in "Our Healthy Home" in 2016. Can you

imagine the positive difference for our veterans if we have the 3,200 employees

in VA Northern California, each one of them, have a small component of improving

our healthy home? It's going to be a great year. Looking forward to serving

alongside each of you. I will talk to you again soon.

DJD Art Foundation Interview - Duration: 3:55.

Hi gang, Chris Barnes here with Dickson Realty

again and I'm in front of an almost

secret location here in the tree-lined streets

of Old Town Reno

and it's not a person I want you to meet tonight

this is an organization that is

doing an amazing job here with the veterans

and the foundation's name is the David J. Drakulich

Art Foundation and they're doing an amazing job

with some veterans around the local area and doing some art.

So without further ado let's go inside

and meet some of the members.

So the Foundation is incorporating the

opportunity for artists to release some

of their - actually, I don't know how it goes

can you explain what this is

all about because this is helping

veterans but how? So veterans have been

showing their work at the Creative Arts

Festival for several years now. And

actually DJD Art Foundation inspired the

VA to open up that venue again. It had

been hibernating for a number of years

and when I started to have a

relationship with people at the VA we agreed

that we could start the Creative Arts

Festival again, about nine years ago, and

so it's been growing ever since. And now

we have a place to show their work so

what we did is invited artists who had

show their work at the Creative Arts

Festival and had gotten a placement

- first, second, or third place - they could

bring their art here and we would

display it and offer it for sale.

So we'll be their agent to sell the art as well.

Wonderful. The beautiful thing

about that is that a lot of veterans can

use the money, but it also is this

wonderful positive reflection on you

when someone buys your art.

So we would love people to come out

and buy this beautiful art.

And some of this art is pretty amazing. I was trying

to focus in on this stuff over here.

And you were saying this is all from the

uniforms that have been beat to

submission basically. Correct. So this is

combat paper - that is paper that is made

from military uniforms. And so we

bring in veterans and they cut up their

uniform. We have a machine called a

beater, that beats it literally to a pulp.

And then we can screen it and make paper.

I would imagine that in itself

is a little therapeutic just to do that

and be able to shred things.

It's cathartic. Right? Absolutely amazing.

So again the location, tell

everybody where this is located because

this is all brand new it's almost a secret

place, we don't want to keep it secret

and so tell everybody where this is again.

So we're 515 Court Street

and the house is a brick house and it is

also known by some who have been in the

community for a number of years as the

Reid House. The Reid House. That's why we

call it the Reid House Gallery.

Wonderful - is there a website, is there a

phone number? There absolutely is a website.

It is www.ArtHealsWarWounds.org

and the telephone number is 775-313-2607

And so it's www.ArtHealsWarWounds.org

Wonderful. So amazing everybody.

I would encourage you to take a look.

This is happening in our community

and, again, as our community

grows, it's astounding to see

the wonderful things that people are

doing. So thank you again ladies.

Thank you! All right, bye everybody.
