MEthodology
If I choose to speak up, I’m approaching this, in some form, generally. Sometimes, though, I’m talking about how people feel about it, instead of facts, and THAT is a different angle. The big problem is things I may have been proficient in 20 years ago, that I’m not now. Things change.
For example, some of my views on identity a few years back was specifically from the people who claimed it 20 years ago…and in college. Things that I’d now get my backside handed to me for was exactly how they were promoting themselves at the time. I got people pissed at me about 2, 3 years ago for representing the people I knew as they were.
As it’s things I generally don’t have a passion about, I mostly stay out of it, now.
Mostly because it’s frustrating for being chewed out for being wrong when I could name names, and that would make it worse. Who likes being wrong on any aspect?
There are times I’ll take something down because 5% can’t see what I actually said for their offense over something not there. It’s taxing.

IF we’re taking the 10K hours (20 hours a week, 10 years, 10 hours 20 years)? Regencies, the Bible, Sex, music…but that’s low-level existing in the field, bare minimum.
Sometimes I’m an “expert” at how to navigate it because the people who claim to be open aren’t really, so I know better how to navigate the things they dismiss. For example, this label called “conspiracy theory”. If people don’t understand that they treat their everyday science that they currently believe in with the same rigor as a conspiracy theory, they get baffled at how people wind up in cuckooland when they themselves are 1 ft in the same grave.
I’ll give a big example of one that everyone here would think is common sense: climate change & don’t build on a flood plane. It makes perfect sense to avoid living in places that can flood due to changing erratic weather, right?
This is the potential flood plane. The entire continental US is a flood plane when water falls right, from 14,505 ft to 0 ft. There is no perfect safety, and people move and give up on places highly prone to damage to just meet it elsewhere.
When I was watching flooding in NC over Helene, a flash flood crashing through someone’s high window came across my feed from Nevada the month before.
You have to understand, I’m watching armchair climatologist talk about how people need to leave the coast to people who were nowhere near the coast, weren’t under warning of flooding, lived at 2K elevations, and are places I flee to–they were the high ground flood planes.
Again, with similar flooding happening in Nevada a month before.
It reminds me of leaving the north after back-to-back blizzards and about 2 years later being caught in an ice storm on the gulf coast 10 years later.
People think that current safety is permanent safety way too often.
But where I’m good for writing advice is when the standard advice ain’t working and troubleshooting.
I don’t have the brain power to watch him for that long even if I do break up the videos XD He has such a core fanbase now with the people who watch the whole thing.
I’m now hesitant to subscribe to any drama channel no matter how nice the person seems 
The main issue is Amazon being . . . Amazon. Defs get more on royalties when it comes to ebook even if they’re a pain to format.
Is there anything you feel like you’re expert on?
