I have a terrible case of dislexia. It’s better now, but foreign languages during high school where basically impossible. Not that I wasn’t learning, I just couldn’t keep up with the class.

My French teacher, who was also the class mentor, didn’t believe dislexia was a thing and made it very clear he didn’t. I always felt like he was picking on me, as if he straight up didn’t like me. He’d often call me out in front of the class, but there’s this one time that still stands so clear in my mind:

We had a test, a simple one. Just 20-25 French words we had to translate. We had one day to memorise the. I studied for hours after school. My mom spend at least 3 hours studying with me. I still didn’t know much that night, but when showing up the next day for class, I had forgotten everything. I did the test as best as I could, but knew I was gonna fail. Just like I always did.

The following day, after he had graded the tests, he was calling out everyone’s grades. When he came to me, he held up my test to show the whole class, with it being pretty much all red crosses on it. He casually added “and look who didn’t study again and chose to get an F”

It broke me. I was trying so hard up until that point. I really did. It took all my strength not to just burst out in tears. I did everything I could, it still wasn’t enough and to add insult to injury my teacher felt it necessary to shame me in front of the whole class and he wasn’t even right in what he said.

After that day, I didn’t study for the class anymore. Not even once. After that moment I choose to live up to what the teacher already thought of me. It hurt my whole school career and I still kinda blame him for that.

I choose to not own a car, making it so I have to cycle to work daily. That’s my exercise

Cat.

Cat.

The water from the tap has a certain amount of calcium in it, it’s not fat. That act of boiling water will make it so a some of the calcium carbonate will precipitate out of the water onto your kettle. This can come loose over time and with use of the kettle and form little flakes in the water. It’s nothing that’s not already in the drinking water and is perfectly safe

That bad huh? Haha

That’s pretty much what my friends said as well, but it somehow sounds odd to me. Like, “why wouldn’t you be nice and say hello to everyone there, it’s just the obvious thing to do.”

You did what? That first sentence is entirely meaningless to me. Mind explaining some more?

Good to hear you’re taking care of yourself. You’re important enough for that. Also, anything that involves large machines and such is interesting as fuck.

Oof, good luck mate. Bet you’ll still enjoy the hell out of it, even if it’s exhausting

It’d be like you trying to fill up 2 swimming pools with one hose, pumping water into each end, right?

Ive actively started doing something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now. I’ve always had a specific idea for a youtube channel, i made half assed attempts before to do something, but only last week actually started writing a script and got further than like 5 lines. I don’t know if and when I’ll be posting anything, but that’s not what matters. I used to love to write, just anything, be it poems, short stories, informative content. Over the years I kinda just stopped as I got more busy and other stuff got priority in my life. Finally I feel like I’ve found that old enjoyment again that writing used to being me. That’s what matters to me and that’s what I’m proud of.

Boy lemme tell you about tuna steaks then… XD

Thanks. I recognised that what i would call basic cooking every one just knows, isn’t nearly as much of a thing thst I thought. Even just simple techniques and ideas are a lot harder for a lot of people than I used to think. I want to show people that cooking isn’t nearly ad difficult as a lot of people seem to think.

I will do. Currently writing, editing and such will be a whole new and different beast. Don’t expect anything soon haha

Still better than calling tuna “tuna fish”

These are some interesting questions, I would love to respond to all of them but honestly to correctly answer them I’d be here typing a whole essay.

I’ve looked and haven’t found anything to my satisfaction. I found that pretty much all channels either give you too much details in way too much of a robotic way or they don’t go deep enough into a subject. I’m not gonna say I’m gonna have a easy time finding the middle ground myself, but I do feel there’s still a place for that on YouTube and at least I feel I have the required knowledge for that.

I was a vegetarian for environmental reasons for almost 11 years. I started eating meat again when I started my studies, although still very little. I feel I’d be the perfect candidate for this.

Oh definitely. I was thinking about starting the video out by saying that all technique explanations can be found in the comments, then when it comes up in the video show a number or something corresponding to the link for it in the description. Hopefully this won’t break the flow of the video and still keeps it easy for people to find more information
