Bro I come here strictly for your comments anymore. I've seen your profile for years and I absolutely love your takes, m8! Good on ya fellow tiny dick'd boik!
I have to disagree with the lads at the 30min mark. You're NEVER too old to have a go at anything, never to old to learn something new, take a new path and follow your passions! On another note, if you want to watch a movie that will make you cry a lot check out Grave of the Fireflies!
The absurd thing that makes me cry is old LEGO BIONICLE commercials. They were these blends between actual story content and toy ads with their own bespoke nu-metal music and they were a huge part of my childhood. I would check the website every day for a new video because I couldn’t get enough of them. The two they produced in 2007 are masterpieces that make me tear up every time.

You do have to pay for university in Germany but it´s not too expensive. Certainly nowhere close to UK or US standards. Outside of some private universities it´s largely affordable though it could still be better. As for the splitting up that Pyrion talked about it´s not that extreme and it differs a lot from state to state. The idea is that children who struggle should go to a different school but yes in reality it´s mostly classism. But the curriculum isn´t really all that different. Also it doesn´t really push someone down one path as Pyrion implied thats inaccurate. A unviersity won´t reject someone or whatever because they went to the wrong school. However some students from some schools might have to do somethign extra to get the "Hochschulreife" (basically a report that allows you to get higher education). There are also soft factors involved. Basically the "better" schools push you quite a bit to go to university. We for instance had a whole mutliple day thing about figuring out what you want to study. Almost everyone I knew from school went to university. For the vocational school far fewer people end up in university.
@@bradleymcpherson6555 Yes. Though thats actually quite high since it comes with a bunch of stuff. I have friends who pay less than 200 at some universities.
for the whole work talk. We got peeps like me, depressed and strugging through my late teens and early 20's, still am. Point is. no one should stress it. life is long and just take it slow and steady. You'll end up where you want to eventually. Or at least close enough!
So whenever the "where are you from?" discussion comes up, I change the question. For context, I teach English (I am English) in Germany and I'll always ask my students "Have you always lived in Cologne?" "Did you grow up here?" "Were you born here?"- I think it's very hard to be offended by that question.
I live in the US South, and I used to live near several tobacco farms. The people who love to hire Mexicans to work on their farms are absolutely the same people who want to "build the wall." They just aren't self-aware. Sure, it benefits them to keep their workers undocumented, but they don't just want Mexicans to stay undocumented. They want to keep them out of the US. You wanna talk about stolen jobs? These are the people choosing not to give these jobs to US citizens. They're creating the "problem" that they're so angry about, and they don't even realize it. (Partially because it turns out not to be a significant problem, but again, they're oblivious.)
The US mindset: Everyone's lazy, why pay dem libs fair wages when I can pay brown men the experience of US freedom brother. At least if dem brown folk are lazy I can deport em. Also keep dem brown folk outta mah yard, love em just as long as they on their side of dat wall. Freedom yee yee brother 🇺🇲👮🏻♂️🇺🇲 Jesus Christ its frustrating how common this is
man the “where are you from?” conversation hit close to home. I’ve taken to giving unsatisfying answers (like where i was born, where i’ve lived most my life, my mom’s ancestry, etc.) until I can say “oh, you meant, ‘why am i brown?’” and then I tell them. Fucking racists.
Same for me. I was born in Britain, speak English with an English accent and still questioned about my heritage A. because of my name and B. because I have a slightly brown skin colour from my Turkish ancestry
My favorite part of this is that I bet most of them don't even realize they're being racist, but you so thoroughly demonstrate what the question is really about. I hope it makes some of them think.
I was an odd teenage boy. I wanted to be married at 21 have 2.5 kids by thirty and i wanted to be in a full time job that i could use my long service leave by the time i was 35. . . I am 35 now and it is nothing like i thought.
Lewis really has to have read some kind of book that makes him use the word "Osmosis" all the time. Relistening to the podcast for the first time ever and it really sticks out
on the matter of education, as someone who has just finished their BA and is off to do an MA in september i can say that uk schools, like germany, absolutely do push students in a specific direction. however, unlike germany, the one direction they try and push "gifted" kids into is maths. i went to a fairly mediocre secondary school in the north so i can't speak for other state schools but there was definitely a sense that the "smart" kid path was one that focused on maths and science. triple science for example, which gave you separate grades in physics, biology, and chemistry - which is an absolutely essential gcse choice if you want to study any of this stuff at college let alone university - was only available to the upper band of students and this is a choice foisted onto you at the age of 13/14. i decided to do english, history, and law at college but that's only because i totally fell out of love with science and maths, and was very much a decision i made pushing in the other direction away from what was expected of me. the lack of funding for the humanities in the uk is at crisis point and is effecting everything from secondary schools to universities and postgraduate studies. say what you want about the german system but they have FUNDING for students who want to do more with, say, fine art or music or literature. not to mention the north-south divide in the uk. basically, we can't talk about student agency without addressing the absence of funding and support for students to truly be free to make their own choices - as the guys touch on quite well with their discussion of working class students being locked out of humanities and pushed into vocational colleges
Opening for up is brutal. I cried so hard at that because there was a 6 year old behind me when i saw it on the theater and every time something bad happened he kept asking oh is that like auntie so and so, is that like uncle so and so, and then it got to the last bit and he was like did she go to the same place daddy and grandma went to. It broke me, he wsked his mom for snacks and ahe said she had no money si just gave them the 40$ and the snacks were on me

I think there is a point where immigration can became a negative factor on society. In uk before brexit there were commonwealth, european, other and other illegal immigrants. I think a lot of uk and eu people have same attitude as theses guys, it's like a taboo subject you cannot mention in a negative manner or you are a racist. Can immigration become a problem if not controlled at all. Most negative opinions I have heard from people talking about this subject are immigrants who don't work and don't even want to work, most uk, western and central eu don't seem to acknowledge this. Excessive immigration can contribute to rise of far right mentality in public, and it is usually not a good thing.
