Everytime I think I can move on to something more challenging I mess up.

better than messing down.

Today is not good

Did you try using google instead?

Google owns YouTube. Plus, Google isn't much better. There's a skew to their results. Plus you used to be able to get thousands of results, literally every page in existence in relation to what you searched, would be on it. Now they just filter the results they think you want. So instead of getting thousands of different results, now you just get the same copy & pasted article for 10 pages. I s/ try finding a different search engine. Remember Ask Jeeves, lol?

YouTube search result is really bad. I typed in a search, for example, 1/2 the results have to do w/ the hurriance. Nothing I typed has anything to do w/ the hurricane. A quarter of the videos are based on what I've already watched, also w/ nothing to do w/ what I searched.
I sorted by time '1 week'. 1/2 the results are way more than a week old.
I noticed they deleted a lot of their older videos too. Unless your video is a couple years old or so, it's probably gone from the Search result. Even if the actual video is still on someone's channel, it won't show on results.

Remember how Google beat out the other search engines? You'd get more results. You'd get results based on what you searched for. Now Google seems no better than the competition it had beat out (Yahoo, MSN, etc.). Might as well use those.

Yeah youtube search is a mess, that is why I sometimes use Google search and choose the video option and narrow down because sometimes they include other sources than youtube itself.

Tonight I have to go to the store but I'm so paranoid about running into someone I know.

 

[DragonFox91]

So I think I found the problem why I couldn't find those YouTube videos. They were livestreams & after the stream is done it takes a while for it to post.

As long as you don't scratch your front bumper it will be all right

The way live streams that are finished show up or not is a mystery to me as sometimes they just put a total time stamp on them in place of the live label and other times they vanish for a day or two or are gone for good never to be seen again. Perhaps some live streams are moved to other channels or services. I rarely watch live streams because I'm not into being an audience for them as I mostly watch on my TV set which typing is too much trouble.

I listen to them a lot at work. There's a couple channels I really like. If I didn't have to work, I wouldn't bother. I'd be satisified w/ movies & 'real' TV. But I need something to listen to at work & I don't care listening to music. (Gets boring quick, most 'regular' music about dating and/or drugs, & Christian music's fine but not something I want to listen to all day every day)

Most of the time I'm working it is too much trouble to try and listen to music as too often I have to listen for others around me needing help and I'm working far enough from a safe place to put a bluetooth speaker to hear it at a level that doesn't annoy others. I think about 95% of the time I just sort of hum to songs I like in my mind.

 

[DragonFox91]

I just got done w/ my chores & it's already 8pm. I feel like I s/ still be working. My mind can't relax. What'd be the point in relaxing anyways since in a couple hours it'll be bedtime & time to work in the morning again? Why make $$$ when I just spend all my time working anyways & it goes right to the bank collecting dust?

Dating seems like it'd be so overwhelming. I have no clue how people work even more hours at more stressful jobs than I do plus have a wife & children to take care of. How do you stay sane & willing???

Plus half the time I'm so exhausted after work w/ eyestrain I just want to relax my eyes & end up sleeping the evening away.

This is not good!

Plus that phone call this morning was not good! I should have just let it go to voicemail & called her back. I knew who it was & know she can be difficult to talk to b/c she pauses all the time while talking & I should've just let it go to voicemail & call her back when I'm more ready to take the call. Not good!

Yo, what's up, CF? I don't think I ever came back to update.

Thanks to all those who prayed for me. I did manage to pass both my exams at once by the grace of God. I honestly am still kind of in shock, and can't believe I passed. I have applied for my Optician License, and am waiting for the State to process it.
Such a huge weight lifted off my chest. It was a tough process, and at times I didn't think I was gonna make it, but I made it! Thank you for your support, friends.

That's great, man.

Thank you for prayers for those that have prayed. I was able to make some decisions with wise guidance of others. And there may be some lifestyle changes up ahead and I still have more tests to go in the middle of October that will determine the next step.

Restless...

 

[mojoboy31]

Is it just me, or is the conversation here kinda stagnate lately? We need some new threads, or some thread resurrections, maybe....

 

[GodDoesListen55]

Sometimes I wish I could just sleep for days.

 

[sampa]

I pray everyone has a blessed Sunday with worship and fellowship!
