Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
The person who makes these science videos does it in such an entertaining and funny way that you forget that it’s a science channel. He uses homemade tools and chemicals to make explosions and fire and SO much more…
The best part is that he puts his videos up, no matter if he fails or not. In fact, he fails more times than not on ExtractionsAndIre. I’ve been watching him for years and years, and any day that he posts a new video is a wonderful day.
Undoubtedly, he’s been my inspiration to muddle through chemistry experiments without the proper background nor proper safety equipment.
“There is no point in reinventing the wheel” is my favorite saying when it comes to things like this.
If something has been done over and over again, there is no point in doing it yourself from scratch. It wastes time, money, and effort that could be spent on creating something new.
Humanity’s greatest strength is being able to add to the previous generation’s knowledge base, too!
If we had to relearn how to do the same things in the same way, in every generation, we would still be in the stone age…
When I manage folks, I expect them to steal if its already been done and especially if it’s been done to death.
This is the truth. I was being abused by a boss of mine, with him demanding to know the whole of my medical history. He also demanded doctor excuses go directly to him, and not HR as I was told,
Needless to say, HR shared that I was bitching about him and he messed up my desk, breaking an ornament and a knickknack that was precious to me at the time (I got it on honeymoon). I took photos, and HR even saw him near my desk at the time of all of that happened
It took a major civil suit to get the video, but after the judge saw it ‘my case was won’ according to the judge. It was so obvious of evidence of him breaking stuff, spitting on my chair, snapping my laptop.
I even got special consideration because my boss then gave me a laptop that was so old that I couldn’t load the required VPN software.
I’m glad I got out of a corporate run tech field. It’ll eat your soul without you noticing until it’s too late…
If talking with a woman and she asks you to rate her:
“Hmm, let’s see 9.5… nope, wait, hold on,…”
Fix a hair on her head or move your head around like you’re looking at the Mona Lisa
“Nope, 10 out of ten. Absolute perfection.”
Then smile, and look her in the eyes (or forehead if you’re shy)
The touch will help increase intimacy level, but if you lean in and she leans back, then you don’t have permission to touch her then do the head bobs like you’re examining a really nice piece of art.
Bonus points: Make sure you look her up and down with your eyes as she’s unconsciously seeing that you’re looking at her whole picture.
At least that my default on how I handle questions like that.

Bethesda's latest can't help but feel shallow by comparison.
Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? (xkcd.com)
Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that’s an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes....
