popularity of youtube, twitch, tik-tok etc. is due to the fact that 90% of people are RETARDED studying a web page with tables and graphs is too hard for them. shit, even reading is too hard for them. now i don't buy the argument that books are better than movies - text is even more one-dimensional than video - people who say "the book was better than the movie" are just mid-wits trying to be proud of the fact that they know how to read. same as mid-wits who talk about how classical music is the best and music today sucks. but only web pages can have multiple dimensions to them so to speak. as for music it is modern electronic that is most multi-dimensional - it simply chooses not to use most of those dimensions 99% of the time. whereas classical music was using all it had - but it didn't have much - only a handful of instruments versus basically unlimited number of effects available today. when somebody used to talk about classical music that used to be a dead giveaway that a person is a poser, just like when they would talk about vinyl or vacuum tubes. today posers talk about indie and lossless audio. meanwhile i, with top 0.001% level knowledge of Audio just stream Spotify because i know most of sound quality is due to room acoustics and the rest due to speakers being too small - none of which Audiophiles ever talk about. 80% of what audiophiles discuss accounts for less than 5% of actual sound quality. 50% of what they discuss accounts for less than 1% of sound quality. 30% of what they discuss accounts for ZERO PERCENT of sound quality. like 1/3 of discussions are about things like what type of film capacitor is best ... if you want to understand the level of delusion there it's like asking which color of "go fast" stripe makes your car the fastest, while your car is a Honda Civic with base engine. of course if you tell an owner of a Honda Civic with a Spoiler and Fart Can that his spoiler doesn't do shit and he should just get a BMW already he will never go " wow you're right ! why didn't i think about this before ? " oh no, he will want to FIGHT YOU i can't believe i wasted so much time debating those rejects on Audiophile forums. you never see real Audio Engineers on Audiophile Forums for the same reason you will never see a real Automotive Engineer on a forum that discusses spoilers and fart cans for Civic. nor will you see somebody who understands how politics works on either a Republican or Democrat rally. those are all hangouts for 100% retarded, 100% delusional cretins who have zero clue and DO NOT WANT to know the truth.

youtube is for subhumans information can always be more effectively laid out in a website format than any other format sometimes video is the way to go, sometimes text, sometimes images or audio, sometimes tables, sometimes an interactive element like embedded calculator or map where you can turn layers on / off etc. the one-size fits-all approach of youtube ( and other video-based platforms ) must appeal to RETARDS like boomers who only know how to watch TV YouTube is literally just TV with an unlimited number of channels and built in recorder that is already preprogrammed to record your favorite shows for you so you don't have to think ( which boomers aren't very good at ) i can't believe i once fell for YouTube being the future - what an idiot i was ! the logic was " this wasn't possible before due to bandwidth limitations but now it is, so it's the future " uhm ... NO. that's not how it works. this is the same retarded logic people used to conclude that electric cars are the future - but it simply doesn't follow ! just because something used to be impossible doesn't mean it is the future !
ser vs estar is fucking killing me ...
i can't get over how good Babbel is it's on another level from the programs i used in the past, which is to say Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur
pepper spray is illegal in England because it's racist for white women to defend themselves against immigrant rapists i wish this was satire
that's too bad bitch, but i ain't letting you move in. you work and pay taxes so i can have my roads meanwhile i will pump and dump high school girls, thanks. image
going forward i will probably use Babbel exclusively for language learning i thought i could supplement with Pimsleur audio lessons while driving for example but now that i think of it i would rather use that time to listen to audiobooks like Robert Greene etc back when i started using pimsleur i loved it while being stuck in NYC traffic but i am no longer in NYC and i have since picked up an interest in audibooks and i don't even have time to listen to those so the assumption that i have more time for audio lessons than for interactive lessons on the computer no longer holds ... and i prefer the interactive lessons in front of the computer ... i also already want to go back to German, Japanese and Mandarin but i must not allow myself such indulgences ... Spanish is a practical matter. I heard that for some jobs in Florida Spanish is a requirement which makes sense since most people in Florida are hispanic. I remember how as a Russian in Brooklyn i was shocked when my doorman said he doesn't speak Russian. i was like Bro you live in Brooklyn what do you mean you don't speak Russian ? I don't want to be that guy myself who lives in Orlando and doesn't speak Spanish. like get a clue - the number one flight destination from Orlando airport is Puerto Rico.
