None. I have self-respect. For example. My own MAGA worshipping Trump-humping father demanded that I apologize for telling him that America sucks (in regards to healthcare). I was told to either apologize or to never talk again.
He posts infrequently but Sean Hodgins videos keep getting better. Don’t let the thumbnails fool you, he puts a ton of work into them. It’s hard to describe, it’s mostly him showing off his projects but they have an analogue/80s cyberpunk feel in the way he tells his story, the music that’s played, and how he edits the videos together.
Good Mythical Morning has been around since before YouTube even existed and they still put out good shit. Even more so, with the GM Kitchen stuff (which I actually like more; those guys are fun as hell).
I loved GMM until every episode became a food episode. I’m trying to watch what I eat and every episode being a food tier-list or guess-where-the-food-is-from really turned me off.
I still like the guys and their staff. I listen to Ear Biscuits and catch the longer-form stuff they’re experimenting with but I no longer watch GMM/GMMore daily.
Wendigoon, he doesn’t post as frequently as a lot of others but his videos are like an hour long and he researches the fuck out of a subject. He did one about the unabomber recently that he had to break into a two partner because one part was just an hour long interview with the lead FBI investigator on the case.
I was out camping in Slovenia with the scouts. We stayed in podljubelj and met an older guy (friend our campground owner, important for later) that did tours through the redstone mines and abandoned buildings in the mountains. The tour was to take 3 hours and it cost €15 cash only, so we did a quick calculation of how much we needed and got it from the atm just before the tour started.
We had a great time and got some cool memories climbing down a abandoned mineshafts and lifts while this guy was terrified for our lives😅 So the tour concludes and we go to pay him, and he almost fell over backwards when we handed him €200 which was the price we calculated + a small tip.
Turns out the €15 wasn’t per person but instead a flat rate no matter the group size. Fucking €15 for guiding a group of 12 idiots for 3 hours.
We ended up having intense negotiations with the guy for how much he was willing to take. In the end we managed to convince him to take €100 from us and we ended up giving the other €100 to our campground owner who would make sure his stubborn friend didn’t turn down “free” money.
I still can’t believe that tour was meant to be just €15
I know, I’m just providing a example to show the disparency between economic of two different countries, where as for one person the amount is minimal while for the other is significant.
(Solvenia also uses Euro, so I don’t know whats going on over there)
I’m a large, unpleasant looking man living in a red state who has a pickup truck, and a harley. I’m married to a methodist lay speaker. I have a few firearms.
So naturally I must be the biggest trump supporting, red-hat wearing, religious conservative twatwaffle in existence, there is no other option.
As a result, the actual redhat cockwombles I work with think I’m going to be OK with their racist comments, and are shocked when I’m not. The thing that helps me with these guys is the fact that they are having to work from prints that have my initials on them so they can whine about the LiBuRl all they want, and I’ll still be helping them get their jobs done.
The traits they are assuming make me One of Them™ are just incidental things. I have a battered old truck because my wife and I have either a large garden or a small farm, depending on how you look at it. A Honda Civic won’t carry the stuff I need. (Neither will a van) I have a harley because the local motorcycle dealers are pretty terrible tp deal with, but the harley dealer is nice, helpful, and act like they want to sell a bike. I’m large and unpleasant because of genetics. And I have firearms because for most of my adult life I have lived somewhere that has an hour’s response time for law enforcement, and I’ve had to defend myself in the past. None of these things made me hate any particular group of people.
My family went to Tijuana when I was about 5. My brother and I saw an unconscious/dead person being dragged into an alley and were ‘wtf?’. My parents just said uh, nevermind about that.

Chef John is literally the best! Every time some other popular YouTube cook puts out a recipe talking about how xyz is the authentic way to do it and they take half an hour to explain everything, chef john already had a video recipe for it from 5 years ago with exactly the right/authentic ingredients and technique in a 10 min straightforward video. Or he’ll have the practical way to make something that gets you 90% of the way there with half the effort and cost. And you actually end up with something good when you follow his recipes. Especially important when making food you’ve never eaten before and have no frame of reference for how it should be.
He has a video where he talks about his experience caring for his mother who had alzheimers at the end of her life. Very sad situation. His video was informative on the difficulties it presents and the perspective of trying to make it as easy as possible to let your loved on live while having to watch them regress and adjust.
