Oh, my bad, thought it was only YouTube.

On Youtube there is a checkbox to mark paid promotion in a video. There will at least be the common label for paid promotion. I don’t think hiding a paid promotion is worth the risk for big Youtube channels.

I wouldn’t assume anything with only this information. Jokes about death and suicide aren’t uncommon and we don’t know how they mean it. However it doesn’t hurt to ask them and give them the opportunity to share their pain and sad songs with you.

It depends, but in most cases I can’t determine the exact minute on an analog clock. In practice, the quickest way is to choose the worse case.

Now that you have posted this on the internet, it’s probably too late to feel embarassed.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence by Steven Spielberg. Not sure if I was too young, but the emotions still haunt me to this day.

They swap cables and enjoy the music.

This is the kind of extreme solution I want to discover with a fitting search term. But personally, I still want to be able to fix bugs and update dependencies. I don’t want to lock down the project, but only the features.

Yup, but I struggle to find results about intentional usage of anti-patterns. I mean, it’s actually a good thing, but… :/

Kenshi 2, but I just want a remastered version that makes it more playable.

It’s probably “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. If you’re interested in any personal finance book, there is already nothing to learn.

None

I always choose hardcover. I try to keep the number of my owned physical books low. So when I do buy it, I want my eyes to be satisfied and they prefer the looks of hardcover. Since I usually buy secondhand books, overall it’s very cheap (although I don’t have high standards on the book’s condition).

Parts Unknown

That’s what I asked Annette.

I didn’t get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).

I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).

I learn Japanese on and off. I’m currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn’t a definite answer T_T

I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it’s a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.

Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women’s standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.
