I feel as though I have grown out of the main channel content. The Triforce and the jingle jam are my only fix on some of the major personalities of my childhood. If I couldn't listen to the triforce once a week ish while making breakfast I would die.
Yeah... the main channel had gotten a bit too cookiecutter and hyperactive for me. I love the yogscast but only really look at triforce and sips streams now.
Didn't listen to the podcast yet, but I assume they speak about pain because of old age? So in German it would be called "Altersschmerzen" (Schmerzen without T ^^)
Feel like the reason some people hate books is because they don't enjoy reading. And when they say that they don't like reading people tell them that they just havent "tried" enough, or found the "right" book, even berate them, place them as ignorant. Making them not actualy hate books, but the people they assosciate with books.
It's kinda ridiculous that they don't have anyone come and fill in when one of them can't make it, or even do episodes with just two of them. Give us guests instead of just skipping weeks!
Because of the way language is linked to thought processes, I think creating as many "feeling words" as possible is beneficial to people. The more words we have for particular feelings, the more real these feelings can feel. Just saying you are sad holds very different connotations from saying you are depressed. Limiting these types of "feeling words" limits peoples ability to express their feelings and connect to other people, which is a large portion of the purpose of language. There's is a qualitative difference between pinto beans and black beans; having that language to differentiate between the two types of beans is more useful than just calling them both beans. Having a word for purple is much more useful than saying it's kind of like blue and kind of like red, but not the same as either of them. It is a more succinct way of explaining what it's like to see that color. I wonder if that guy who is afraid of beans is afraid of all beans, or if it's the sauce with the baked beans that gets him. 🤔
I just want to come out and say that *I could not disagree more* with Pyrion's opinion that when faced with someone who hates reading books, you should barate them in order to change their mind or steer them back into liking books. I categorically think that is possibly *the worst and most ineffective* thing you could do. Hating books or reading books is, I'm convinced, *rarely a symptom of innate or intrinsic intellectual pauverty or incuriosity,* but rather a sign that this person has been put off reading by something else (and it most certainly is not "madness" as Lewis puts it). I don't think it should be restated that, like everything, *our relationship with reading is acquired, something we learn,* not an innate reflection of our character or soul, that's bollocks. It's like illiteracy, which doesn't mean that you've never learned to read or write (that would be analphabetism), but means that you have been taught both but that because of different external factors (development of insecurities about language, lack of opportunities to practice, poor access to ressources to practice, social and economic situation, etc) your ability to do both has eroded. (At least this is the distiction made between the two terms in France where I am from, which I think is very topical in this context. Also note that France is probably the country that idolises and idealises it's language the most, to a fanatical and often ridiculous and foolish extent, but also the European country where the rate of illiteracy is the highest by far. Food for thoughts) Admit it, there are books you hated reading in school, and maybe to this day still have a poor opinion of or put off reading, because you were forced to read them, or because teachers equated not being able to or not wanting to read with bad behaviour and being a bad student. *School has an immense impact on our developing brains,* and events where teachers force us to read, turning reading into a stressfull and tedious chore, divorced of any enjoyment or intellectual satisfaction, can really wreck some havoc on a kid's relationship with reading. And I don't think trying to *humiliate* someone for having fallen out with reading (by saying they are intellectually deficient or lazy, impressing on them the importance of being cultured, etc) is at all an effective way to reconcile them with the activity, *on the contrary* I think it will only *reinforce their resentment* for it and the pressure of society to be "cultured". I feel like the notion that you should shame them is in fact more *self-serving* and a way to impress your supposed superiority on them than anything. Instead of immediately trying to either shame someone for it, or try to fix them to make them fit your ideal model, *ask them why they hate reading instead!* Try and understand where they are comming from, why they fell out with reading. Not only will it make them feel understood and like someone actually care to know where they're comming from, instead of constantly feeling under attack and obligated to justify and defend themselves, which I'm sure is how many people in this case feel, it will also allow you to offer them some actually effective help (because yes, I do in fact think that hating reading is a very regretable thing that ought to be addressed, don't go and put things I didn't say into my mouth).
I just want to say, the wheel of time series is amazing, but I think it could have been half the number of books by removing a lot of the unnecessary descriptions
I wish I could enjoy books like others do, but I think some peoples brains struggle to convert words on a page into mental imagery. I find it really difficult.
In defense of the guy who hated reading, my brother has hated reading his entire life, every other person in my family absolutely loves reading and so could never figure out why he hated it, and it wasn't until a few years ago when he was tested for aspergers that it made sense that he would struggle to read, especially fictional works
I’m from East Texas (home of the very thick southern drawl accent) and I’m not sure I’ve heard any of those phrases. I’ve heard variants, but never those exact ones. I guess I’m not country enough🤠
I understand the guy who doesnt like books, Its not that I dont like books, I just have limited time, and i have to decide between games, youtube, movies, friends, working out, playing instruments, relationships, school, work, or reading a book... and sadly reading books falls at the bottom of that totem pole
Seen a couple fellow Texans chiming in. I’ll agree that I’ve never heard those but i’ll add one. If a Texan says “bless your heart” thats our way of saying screw you buddy.
I really don't understand the appeal of Schitts Creek. Forced my way into episode 5 or 6 and I thought it was just awful. Though I did love pyrions red rising recommendation many episodes ago.
Python Mr. marvel movies are fantastic But ALL anime is for kids? ALL of Harry potter is for kids so you can't enjoy it? And for the game of thrones books, renown for their dialogue since there aren't many action scenes in the books, apparently is "laughably bad."
All those "Texan" phrases are antiquated and no longer used. To be clear they're cool phrases, not hating. I've been all over Texas and most we use now is "y'all" but I'm not a cattle rancher and I've lived most of my life in large metropolitan cities like El Paso and Houston
unless its certified gold like tolkien who the fucks cares about some random persons fantasy, particularily more modern books where the alegory is so poor
lads, i cannot remember the last page ive read never mind have interest to complete an entire book! and i know loads of people where this is the same. My philosophy with books is; if its such a good book, they'll make a film about it. the end.
The problem i have with books is, thay are almost all boreing. There not boring bucause there not good books, there boreing bucause my attention runs way out when a book gose on and on about shit thats filler and dosen't get to the point of the story. My attention runs out and i get tired when a books words mean to much if you no what i mean This is why i liked Huck Fin, it was strate forward and the American lingo was easy to read But one exeption is Vietnam books, where i like to hear how these US soldiers lose there mind
