What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
  • Binging with babish. I am still subscribed but I find myself interested in fewer and fewer videos. The channel started as recreating meals from tv shows and still is that to an extent but naturally he's run low on things to do. They've added other aspects that I just don't care for like anime with Alvin. I just don't watch much anime. I also feel like there is just less content.

    Another is Joshua Weissman who used to do fermenting videos and curing etc. Now I feel like I just watch him make some bread buns and then he makes a sandwich. He's made 100 burgers by now. Who cares. I enjoyed some other series he did like "but faster" or "but cheaper" but they always seem to end after a few episodes and he moves onto something else. I feel like I learn stuff from his videos but just when I'm getting a feel for a topic like fermenting he moves on.

  • How did you acquire the first 1000 words?
  • Well indeed watching movies helps. How about dodgeball! The best might be some comedy show you've seen before in your mother tongue so you even know what's going to happen. When you get good you notice which jokes they completely change because they make no sense in the other language.

  • How did you acquire the first 1000 words?
  • I like to do similar with recipes and songs. Find something I like the sound of and make it then you know all the vocab for cooking related things. With music I find a band I like and listen to an album until I know the words.

    Another good one is watching sports in the language you are learning. It's quicker because you can often infer what words are by knowing what just happened in the match. I find this a bit of a more natural way anyway. I appreciate that may not be easy for every language though.

  • The US healthcare system is broken...
  • I really don't feel like the quality of life is high in the US. How is that measured? Affordable healthcare? Well paid jobs? Affordable healthy produce? Access to public transport? Good infrastructure? Little wealth disparity? Access to education? Can someone tell me which of these the US leads in?

  • What is your favorite kid friendly book made just for traumatizing children?
  • A lot of the original versions of the brothers Grimm stories. For example Cinderella, one of the sisters chops off bits of her feet so that she can try and get into the shoe Cinderella dropped. I think the Prince only figured it out because she's dripping in blood.

  • Consumers say they're pulling back on tipping servers, drivers and hair stylists
  • I didn't say you would be screwing the boss. What you are doing by tipping is letting them away with it. I understand the expectation, I think it shouldn't exist, I think it's wrong. I also refuse to take a job like that which I believe IS the way to change it.

  • Consumers say they're pulling back on tipping servers, drivers and hair stylists
  • I really really don't agree with this. They have already been screwed by their boss, you are choosing whether to Bail the boss out or not. The dynamic will never change by continuing your stance, you'll just keep on bailing out the rich guys.

  • A cool guide to the top 10 deadliest animals for humans
  • The freshwater snails are hosts, much like mosquitos in this diagram. They host platyhelminthes. The ascaris and tapeworms are also helminths. As far as I know anyway. I can understand that they wanted to show animals in the diagram because you can actually avoid those but avoiding the snails won't actually help because the worms infect by being excreted by the snail and infecting another host(human or other), usually in water.

  • The reich stuff – what does Trump really have in common with Hitler?
  • It's not the articles that are horrifying. It's the words and actions of these politicians that should have been a political death sentence. About half of the US seem fine with lies, racism, and homophobia. Even name calling was considered uncouth and it's just mud flinging now and they love it. That's what's horrifying. It wasn't the journos who did this, it was regular normal people.

  • Hillary Clinton celebrates Donald Trump verdict with 'She was right' merch
  • It's inherent in the two party system I feel. It's analogous to that analogy about the two guys on the beach selling ice cream. They start at one end each but in the end they move closer and closer to one another in the middle of the beach or where the most people are. So the Democrats only have to be just "better" than the Republicans to look good and they definitely want to take some of the votes closer to centre.

    That being said, they have FAR better stances than the Republicans on many things.

    Edit: autocorrect and a typo

  • Is it kahm?

    It's happened twice in a row now. Can anyone recommend how to prevent it. I've had years of no fermenting problems, now twice in a row. I'm sad.
