  • I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wearing clothes that fit well and makes you look good, but it will be judged.

    On the internet in general and specifically on YouTube, it’s difficult for handsome people to do anything at all without being accused of doing normal stuff while being attractive just to increase monetization.

    It’s a weird kind of gate keeping, but I do understand it. There are definitely channels that only exist for that reason, and it might be annoying to see your favorite topic being used by someone who ought to be on OnlyFans instead. However, it doesn’t actually take anything away from anyone, so it’s really just a ‘crabs in a bucket’ mentality, where nobody are allowed to stand out.







  • I have subscribed to a few skateboard channels that I have followed for a long time. Not because of the tricks, because quite frankly, these guys are not the best skaters, but they make good content for old skaters like myself who don’t care much about the latest tricks.

    Ben Degros. Perhaps better known for his other channel The Vancouver Carpenter. Well, he’s also a skateboard product connoisseur, who can smell the difference between different presses of deck concave and wheel sizes.

    Jon Bishop. An old fart from UK who started skating at an old age and walks through all the basics and thoughs of beginner and intermediate tricks.

    And obviously: The Skate Nomad. Mike Boisvert. A (relatively) young Canadian dude who quit everything and set out to live the dream of skateboarding in every country in the world, while couch crashing at locals the entire way. It’s interesting to see the differences and similarities in cultures world wide from this perspective.





  • Land can be bought everywhere in all price ranges. The real hurdle is whether you can legally live there or what requirements there are, due to zoning and building codes.

    I think the easiest way to get a self sustaining home with as little legal issues as possible is to buy an already legal home with the grid connection, but then just don’t use it.

    If I were young and single again, I would look into auctions of derelict farms. Tear down the old building and instead build a small totally legal connected up to code cabin with water, waste and electricity connection. Then use the rest of land to do whatever actually interest me, while complying to the bare minimum of legal requirements for that land.
