Buses are very tolerant of humans and not skittish at all. Trains are much less tolerant and they get scared easily ... Trains hate when their way of life /schedule is disturbed. Even a small deviation will be very stressful for a train. While buses are used to it. They have to deal with cars every day so their tolerance is very high. Buses are like large herbivores. You can't push them over or make them do something they don't like. You may train it but they still go their own way most of the time. Very independent. While a train doesn't know what to do when it sees a plastic bag on the tracks

French side of Youtube

Il paraît que ça manque de recommandations de chaînes francophones sur youtube qui ne datent pas de 2010.

Sans prétention de complétude, voilà mes recos de youtubeurs (chaînes actives et pas craignos) :

Linguisticae - Chaîne de vulgarisation sur la linguistique en général et souvent la langue française en particulier. Membre des linguistes atterrées, collectif auteur du tract "Le français va très bien, merci". Rageux contre l'Académie Française, comme nous toustes.

L'Histoire nous le dira - Youtubeur historien (et québécois), chaîne très riche avec des séries sur des pans complets de l'histoire (occidentale majoritairement).

Nota Bene - Pour rester dans le thème histoire, la chaîne de vulgarisation historique la plus connue du youtube francophone. Travail de recherche bien sérieux (grosse équipe) derrière chaque vidéo.

G Milgram - Mon youtubeur préféré du moment. Sa mission : s'attaquer à l'emprise des modes de pensée pseudo-scientifiques et anti-scientifiques. Tout est sérieux, sourcé, et fiable, et présenté avec humour. Tu veux savoir pourquoi l'état français utilise l'argent du contribuable pour mettre de la potion bleue à base de fémur de geai dans les éoliennes ? C'est par ici.

Scilabus - Youtubeuse sympa qui depuis ses propres études supérieures en physique a monté sa chaîne pour expliquer ou démystifier des phénomènes du quotidien par des expériences et explications scientifiques. Elle enseigne à Polytechnique Montréal aujourd'hui.

Notseriou's - Chroniques cinéma humoristiques, parfois bien nostalgique (Arthur et les Minimoys a un spinoff officiel et c'est un film d'horreur ??)

Joueur du Grenier - Oups ma liste se transforme en liste de 2010.... N'empêche que JDG est toujours là, toujours sympa. Thème jeux vidéos.

LinksTheSun - Pareil, ça c'est de la chaîne durable depuis bien 15 ans. Films, livres, pop culture....

Le Fossoyeur de Films - Allez, une dernière et après on arrête l'archéologie. Chroniques cinéma, et comme pour ces trois dernières chaînes, a grandi avec ses créateurs et se prend moins au sérieux qu'à ses débuts.

David Castello-Lopes - Plus journaliste que youtubeur, mais si vous voulez plus de tubes par l'auteur de "je possède des thunes", c'est par là. Voir aussi sa chronique "Suisse ?" sur 52" RTS, "Intéressant" sur Arte et "Historiquement vôtre" sur Europe 1

Monsieur Phi - Docteur en philosophie qui vulgarise très bien ce sujet pas forcément facile d'accès.

codependency

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

the so-called mutual pinning

[brettanomycroft]

Watching Melanie and Georgie attempt to avoid the fact that they basically just chucked the Fears into other universes to get rid of them in their own when talking to Sam is really something

i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.

The words on the sleep mask say "always watching" btw

Maybe it was Martin's suggestion for the whole "sleeping with eyes open" thing (although I hc for the sake of convenience that that only happened during s5)

I've noticed more and more in public bathrooms that people skip the handwash and just take a squirt of hand sanitizer from wall dispensers on the way out. hand sanitizer is NOT effective against most things that come out of your ass. i cannot stress this enough. i'm begging y'all. please. please please please please please use the soap.

i'm out here immunosupressed fighting for my life to not get naturally selected while people around me touch a public toilet handles and walk back to their tables to immediately eat a burger
