Sounds like too much work, honestly. People on youtube can't be fucked to click on links to other websites. It would also be a terrible business model for someone who aims to make content creation their job.
If it is just for shits and giggles, then I don't think youtube or your suggestion is that big of a deal. Then it's just a hobby that people can do when they feel like it.
What I was talking about were those people who decide to make a career out of it. That is hell. There are a select few who get lucky where it doesn't destroy their lives, but for most, it is just an unforgiving and soul destroying endeavor. I cannot imagine letting myself become essentially an ad-prostitute where I earn my money by blabbering on about sponsors every video and probably not know for sure if the company I advertise is good or turns out to be some corrupt scam or a cult some years down the line - making me look like the tool I am. I cannot imagine having to produce x amount of content with advertisement in it to uphold my end of whatever contract I have with a sponsor - essentially being their puppet until the contract runs out. And maybe I was an idiot who didn't understand lawyer-speak and now I have committed myself to be their mouthpiece for seven to ten months for free because I signed that shit. Everyday turning on the camera and dance like a monkey for my followers while my sponsor gets free advertisement.
And then gradually being recognized and getting weird people following me, finding facts about me I don't know where they got them from. Shit like that. And the pay is still nowhere close to being worth all that stress because you're also constantly paranoid about demonetization and being basically having no privacy anymore. Even if you try and cover all your bases, people will find out who you are and where you live and with whom. The more you try to hide, the more persistent they will be.
Like I said = hell.
They are all Troy Baker anyway xD
Working for youtube as a content creator sounds like my personal hell. You're basically a slave to your channel once you decide to make it your full time job.
I know the year most Disney movies came out. Not all of them, but probably more than I should know. Generally, I know the year of release for most movies I have seen.
When it comes to remembering useful things, I might as well have dementia.
The only thing I can think of is the dunning Kruger effect vs imposter syndrome but I don't think they are accurate in this case.
Because Dunning Kruger is more like when you learn about something new and become overly confident about it while people who are expert in the area are more aware of the complexity of the topic and how much thet don't know. Dunning Kruger is not necessarily about being dumb and arrogant, but more so a step in learning that tends to be a bit embarrassing in hindsight. I have definitely been there and I have had several students when they are close to graduating their degree act like they understand our industry better than I or my colleagues do. Which is okay because you probably need that confidence when you start out haha.
And imposter syndrome also doesn't really fit with it either, as it's more about feeling like a fraud in your field even if you probably aren't.
There probably are much better terms to explain what you're describing, but that's the best I can come up with haha.
I thought the omega thing was a myth that has been debunked, though? Pretty sure Dr. Russell Barkley has said several times that there are no supplements that has any real effect on ADHD.
I would have gladly left the floor to you xD personally I'm not gifted at debating. The only time I decided to push back when this guy went on his pseudo philosophical monologues was when he started talking about the Jewish question. It wasn't very fruitful. I tried to make him understand where he was heading "intellectually" and he told me I was too small minded to think outside the box. We stopped talking eventually. He was one of the biggest tools I have met in my adult life.
They are the embodiment of the saying "my last two brain cells".
Yeah... I find them to be somewhat rare in the wild, but I have met them a few times and I am always so severely secondhand-embarrassed for them that their cringe haunts me almost as much as my own cringe years later.
And I mean, I'm not talking about 20somethings acting cocky and like they know everything like some tend to do becuase that shit is just normal developmental stuff and I don't mind that. We have all been there.
It's when real adults act like attention starved, insecure dummies hiding behind fake confidence that I just crumble inside.
Once had a mid 30s guy talk about basic bitch life philosophy in a way like he was almost orgasming at his own brilliance and everybody around the table were so embarrassed for him. I don't remember what he was talking about, but like... some very basic shit and he kept acting like we were all too stupid to have had these thoughts ourselves. Probably it was something he had only just realized himself. And look, I get it! It's kinda awesome when some life-wisdom and philosophy-bah blah finally clicks for real in your head as you get older, but because of that guy I have since been scared of sharing any such revelations with anyone becuase I cannot bear the thought of ending up being the dumbest person in the room while I'm high on an epiphany that is nothing special to everybody else. Omg, I can't even think it without squirming.
I still think about that moment with the guy sometimes at night when I am going to sleep and one would think it would be a relief to force-think about cringe shit someone other than one self has done, but no. No it is isn't. It is just pain.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to be close to Elon as a family member or a friend. I would have fucking nightly panic attacks over the newest dumb shit he's done and feel embarrassed that he's my family member or friend. Like what does that say about me that I have a person like that in my life, right?
I have enough of my own lifelong cringe to carry. I can't carry other people's cringe too, man.
Then they just need to figure out how to use the non-cancer-gene from those blind naked African rats who can run equally fast forward and backwards, look like a wrinkly penis with legs and teeth and are friends with Ron Stoppable and we will have figured out a cure to cancer while regenerating body parts left and right. It'll be great.
Why do the black cats look so derpy? 😂
He must really think we are all as dumb as he is.
Very true! It does feel like playing tetris with that little box sometimes, haha.
What a wonderful community this is.
Oh well, I tried. I hope you have a nice day tomorrow.
I did talk about how we do things in my household but you completely ignored that part and went hysterical about the freezer part. I then tried to explain to you why I brought up the freezers and now you're having a conniption. Maybe you're just having a bad day or something or maybe we are talking past one another, but I was not trying to troll you. I guess that it doesn't matter what I say though, but I hope our paths will cross another time where we don't talk past each other like this.
In my household we tend to buy just enough that we know we can eat it over the course of two to three days if it is perishable foods.
If the store sells smaller packs of meat and vegetables and other perishable foods, we buy those and use them in our cooking the next few days.
We don't have a lot of freezer space and we don't have a garden, so we try and avoid bulk buying unless we know we will be able to eat it all before it goes bad. It works pretty well.
You really do not have to be this aggressive, my dude. I don't have meal planning issues, I just wanted to bring up one aspect of meal planning that doesn't always work for everybody.
People work with what they have, I just wanted to mention the thing about freezers because people tend to always assume that everybody has a lot of freezer space, which isn't the case. That is all. No need to get all bent out of shape over it.
Can't afford it atm. Not everybody is rolling in money xD
The weirdest part is that they are all concieved through IVF and all of them are biologically male, so it isn't even a sex thing for him.
Dude is so fucking weird. Like alien levels of weird. The more you look into his past the weirder it gets.
