    if you really do like her, maybe its worth one last try with her as long as you really set your boundaries before hand on what you want out of the friendship/relationship you two are gonna have. if she doesnt respect your boundaries again, i would probably stop talking with her. if things are moving too fast for you then thats perfectly acceptable for you to call out, youre definitely not the bad guy and shes wrong for making you feel like that. youre only 16, youre super young, dont feel like you have to push yourself into a relationship that youre uncomfortable with. keep up the good videos👍

    I think this video could relate to me like for the past few weeks... because I feel like I was burnt out for the past few weeks and the only person that made me feel like more better is you. I watched one of the videos you made, that made me feel like there's something that I should do and should at least make, that is: opening a UA-cam channel. On that video, honestly it really motivated me. It just made me feel like, yeah I should have an identity. At the very least, I should do something in life. I can't just live a life, take a shit and study to dealth. Get a fucking job and just die in my fucking grave without any accomplishments. The past few weeks ago, I had a burnout and I just couldn't do anything and the fact that I'm quite the lazy type of person. It's a really hard for me to make things out, like I want to talk about life, but I keep on delaying on my things like, I just can't get my butts on the chair and focus, FOCUS! I mean, I just feel dismotivated, because I thought, 'Oh, there's already someone who's better than me. What's the purpose of even making it?' And you say if god could come down and tell us what to do, I'd say... I've been, I mean... I'm just a type of person who just had. I mean, ALREADY had a road to walk. I'm lucky, I should be grateful... to already had the path to go to. But I would just be lazy and not move, because I'm just lazy! I wish I could be more consistent. I just personally think through this one, I think everyone has their own struggle and your toughness, it's understandable. It's just understandable like, I'm 16 years old as well and I don't know how adult will be. But you're quite like my brother like, how he's experiencing right now. Money is one the problems, like and he keeps on scewing up on life. The difference between as a teenager and adult is responsibility. But hey! Don't feel dismotivated just yet. Youth itself is a value. Like I don't mind, I really don't give a shit. Like, if I had to quit a college that I don't even have a fucking knowledge about it. I would do so, because I could go do something else. Like, maybe something like a random waiter or cleaner or whatever shit it is. Just I got the money and maybe I'll try to manage it. But I know the problem is: It's hard to find a job without certificates... I mean, so that's the reason why our mommies are always telling us to go for a college. But is it worth it to study in something that you're not even passion about? Like, I'd rather reconsider going to college if that's so. However, if you like and is passionate in that field. Why not? Like, for me.. I'm deciding to go for some music colleges and some maybe hotel spa management or whatever it is. Still planning, but maybe I'll do my research first. Uhh, so yeah. Money is one the problems, decisions are the most key of it. I just personally think, this all. It's okay. It's not the end of your life. No colleges, still success-able. Because we're still young. So yeah, don't give up! I really hope you continue posting YT videos. It's motivating to me. ( And sorry for posting such long comment... )

As long as its good enough for me to pass this year of school or something, its all good. And when you feel like you did something bad or when you feel sad about something i ask myself this question. ''Will this still matter in 3 months or years?'' Most of the time its No. So why worry about it now? :) Just wanna tell you that you shoudnt worry about the future and school grades, Bc you and me both now that at the end of the day, Were gonna be just fine. :) ''Meditating sounds like a Alpha Male thing'' Lol

      You can still make creative stuff like texture packs, add-ons, and more. Embrace creativity, ditch the capitalist grind. AI will render humanity useless by 2027 and half the nation will be thrown into care homes. AI can't make 16x texture packs. The only career that makes sense and gives you work experience and allows you to be a man is the military. For every other career, you will need to go into hormone therapy to secure it. So become a women and inject yourself with hormones. Minimum wage jobs don't add anything to your resume and is the same as not working at all. Marketplace doesn't pay as much as it used to, but if you live with your mom, you can still get beer money.

Hopefully that'll change soon but right now I wouldn't have any advice or tips or whatever to help you. The only thing I've read and heard from others (which to me makes the most sense) is trying to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Like you learned English as a baby by being surrounded by that language, same for me. So what I'll try and do next time I get into languages is watch shows and movies in whatever language I'm trying to learn. Maybe find a dialogue heavy scene and trying to make out the literal words spoken, then finding the written characters for them, then finding out what that means in English. But I'm gonna avoid having English subtitles on because, at least for me, I just block out the foreign language for the most part, like you're just paying more attention to the subtitles of the language you already know than the actual foreign audio. I don't know that's what I'm gonna try anyways. Again, total beginner here, so this could all be bullshit I'm spouting. If you have any advice though I'd love to hear some, you seem a bit more far ahead than myself. Just hit me up on Reddit or my email (on my channel page) if you have any useful tips or resources or anything (preferably Reddit). Here's to both of us being fluent in a foreign language someday!

One insanely nice thing they did was make special wheeled shelves for the CRT's we had brought and used in our gaming club. Had the club for several years, the gaming weekends we arranged (got to rent an entire floor for free) was among my best memories growing up.

    "want to visit 50 countries, among them Japan and Sweden" One nice thing is that both Sweden and Japan can be visited without really needing to learn either of the languages. Only time in Japan you really need the language is way out on the countryside (or small towns) or if you plan on working there, they really love paper work and there's so much of it you need to do that's in Japanese. Outside of that, they gone to great lengths to make English speakers visit. When it comes to German vs French, depends on where you want to travel. French has allot more countries it can be used it, thanks to its colonial roots. German is pretty much just stuck in central Europe Chinese has allot of people speaking it, a problem is that allot of them are also in one country (there's lots of chinese in other south-east asian countries but not sure, might count as minority languages),

One thing that sort of sucks is that almost all our ancient forests are gone, replaced by mono-culture forests. If you want to see true Swedish nature, you need to find "urskog" or ancient forests (there's less than 1% of our forests that are ancient forests). A good place to start is the video "Mapping and inventory of the last primary forests in Sweden" Such a shame, my parts of Sweden where famous for their ancient and deep forests (they inspired artists like John Bauer who became famous for his depictions of Swedish folk tales like trolls). "English in both Japan and Sweden" English is one of the 3 core subjects in school, it's also a basic requirement for any higher education (what you americans call college is our tertiary education, our secondary is what you call high school or year 10-12.

    One thing that I quite despise in the school system is the abundance of tests done. Tests pretty much ruined school, instead of learning to learn you learn to past a test that has and will have no effect on your life afterwards (only effect it might have is if it leads to passing a klass/grade or not). Only people that like tests are politicians that have an incessant need to quantify everything, so they can neatly put it into spreadsheets and databases. The finns get tests right, they use them minimally and that reflects in people's school performance.

      Yes tests are 100% not the best way to test someone’s knowledge. You study study study and then throw it all up on a test and forget everything after it’s done. So much of school is so pointless.

    At least here in Sweden, it's not really that hard to buy second hand textbooks. I still feel like it's a scam. Such a bullsh!1 thing that certain books costs a few hundred bucks. Pretty sure they massively overinflate the prices just cause they can, they know students need the books so why not bust their wallets while they are at it.

      It’s all a racket in my opinion, like you said these companies jack up textbook prices like crazy cause many students have no other options.

    2:37 Unless you are gonna live on the countryside, you can get by with little to no knowledge about the Japanese language. The large cities like Tokyo and Osaka have really gone to great lengths to make it easy for tourists to use English, learning Japanese is only really a thing you need to do if you plan on living/working there long term and/or want to be able to understand media there. I wanted to learn Japanese for a long time but due to certain weird quirks (many have some weird superiority complex where they don't think that foreigners can learn Japanese), sort of lost interest in it. I still have it on my list, it's just lost allot of priority.

      I want to learn another language no matter what specifically Japanese because I’m thinking of going to university there because the college I’m applying too in America has a program for that. So even if many speak English I would feel like a uneducated American going there and expecting everyone to speak my native language. Let me know if you ever pick Japanese back up, it would be nice to have someone to study with!

    I am doing Highschool and College at the same time, yes thats possible. And ill say that its worth it for me because all textbooks are provided. But if you already pay to go to college there is no reason you should have to pay even more. I will say that even my college teachers are way too serious even though they are teaching a bunch of highschool kids, one even refuses to give A's to anyone in the class, its so unfair.
