If he starts working out after he feels comfortable with his weight he can probably eat normal meals and enjoy building a nice physique. I know people like Null - who mostly work online - have an aversion of going to the gym, but it does wonders to your health even if you're not worried about looking like Zyzz or whatever.

Churches desperately try to look cool to kids (thus becoming the least cool things in existence) instead of doing what kids actually want these days: being intensely traditional and telling people to like it or fuck off. A church should be a place for families to gather and the preacher should be traditionalist but instead they're basically either funeral homes for old folks to die in or live music venues these days.

The music thing is a totally unnecessary mistake. Old church shit (Bach, Gesualdo, etc.) is great. A bunch of beloved "mainstream" stuff is Christian-message music, especially metal (even fucking Slayer), and churches reject it all in favor of the worst greed-motivated mercenary audio goyslop ever made ("worship" music).

As an outsider to and hater of Christianity (the actual current_year thing, not ideal textual/historical versions) it looks like it's all about ripping off and immiserating the flock. Even Jews don't steal from and abuse each other like this.

For the idoobz WoW clip, level 19 is maybe two long days of casual play for a new player, like 8-12 hours. When they released the Classic Anniversary servers (not hardcore, but same mechanics/xp rate) I got my new character to 16 the first day and I don't think I played too hard, but I've played way too much WoW over the years

For the mob with the gold dragon border, that's a standard elite. Elites have a ton of extra health and usually do extra damage, typically intended for groups to take on. Elites are usually the targets of group quests and make up most of the mobs in dungeons, sometimes they're just there for flavor, it's extremely rare for them to have a valuable drop, though occasionally they'll drop an item that begins a quest. No real point in attacking them unless you have the quest for them (or know that they drop an item that starts a quest), especially not in Hardcore where you should be playing safe. They do give extra experience compared to normal mobs, but not so much that they're worth the risk. Hunters (and warlocks) can usually handle them as long as they're prepared for the fight but obviously he had no idea what an elite was

Rare mobs have a silver dragon and improved loot tables, there are rare elites but most rares are just standard mobs with a name and a special loot table. Typically nothing too special, just a piece of green gear (uncommon, the lowest tier of gear with actual stats)

I personally find it hilarious that he was playing the one of if not the most brain dead easy solo class and he still died.

I have no idea what got in to me yesterday and today, but I put on a country music playlist from Spotify. I realized the best gospel is country and the best country is gospel.


Also, this one is probably one of my favorite songs of all time.

Don't sleep on bluegrass arrangements of traditional hymns or bluegrass gospel, great part of the American songbook





 
Regarding the historical age of marriage question, there's extensive marriage records from English towns and villages (probably Europe too idk) going back a thousand years that indicate the average age was surprisingly high, like 24 or something. You might expect it to be a bit younger (or a lot younger if you're a muslim) but no, you'd be wrong to think that.
 
Please upload the August 8th stream's local recording somewhere, Rumble and Kick only got partials due to network problems.

Joe Winko was a mentally ill man who's dead because his mind didn't work properly.
Don't poison your mind with that kind of stuff, it's not good for your mental health and it's probably not good for your soul. You are alive, get busy living, you will have an eternity to be good at being dead.
Positive Poly it up, dude.

My attitude with death is not in line with other people's. I don't worship the suicide, I just appreciate when people say 'yup i am done-zo and ill see yall later'. Same with old people. But anyway, you should totally live as much as you can. It sucks sometimes that you have to work for it, but the payoff is pretty neat.
 
Null,
On your segment on 'SyntheticMan' you theorise that his lower view counts have been a result of YouTube changing how they count views.
however I do not believe any recent change has actually occurred. You may be getting it confused with YouTube semi-recently reclassifying views on 'Shorts'.

Previously YouTube only classified views on shorts as real views if the person watched more than a couple seconds however after the change YouTube now classifies views as anyone who even glances at the video even if they immediately swipe away. This has led to an artificial increase in view counts however not a decrease.
And for reference you are only paid on 'engaged views' which is people who actually watched the video.

TikTok has always worked this way, and YouTube is now just adopting their formula.

For reference here is the difference in views on the same short of one of mine.

You're right, I did get that wrong. I guess he's just CRASHING OUT and his CONTENT SUCKS NOW.

Hey now, the Quartering and Vee are also losing viewers. Actually Vee put out a video telling Synthetic Man that the reason he's losing viewers is that Youtube hates daily uploads now (Synth has never been a daily uploader). He also claimed that it has something to do with age verification and restricted videos but there are a number of problems with that theory, the main one being that it's clear his actual subscribers chose not to watch.

It's mostly that my stream is under 3 hours most of the time and I usually endeavor not to break so I'm not sure what to do when it goes so long
Click to expand...
I would make a pre-made plan that isn't specific to the given stream. Something like "If we're over 2-2.5 hours and still have a decent amount of stuff to cover break at the next section." and the intermission is something (or a pool of somethings) you always have ready to go. Wallpaper? Durry? Historical lolcow clips to interest new people? Particularly funny clip that has some meta commentary on the internet (maybe a nice Terry clip)? Elaborate 3d rendered ads for merch made by your asian wife? Pre-recorded bit so the first time no one realizes? Whatever you want really as long as it's not completely novel so regular viewers can also use the can.

Much like the family road trip we're not going to stop in the middle of nowhere a segment so even if you don't have to go right now you should still try.

Gym always professed that it was the same couple songs because he was lazy but I think he may have been more of a showman than he was letting on. Much like TV shows have the same intro, having the same intermission (and intros in Jim's case) bring some familiarity and positive associations. TV shows don't have an intro only to pad the runtime, it's to get you into the mood for whatever it is and let the people a few minutes late get in.

However I wouldn't want a set intro on MATI. That intro video on the stream for the gunt portugal beatdown was kino.
 
Regarding Josh's schizoposting about the key of Solomon
Listen, I'm just saying... maybe he was on to something
