But if you’ve learned IPA you can read it just fine

See if there are evening classes you can sign up for in your area. This has a couple of benefits over pure self-study: firstly, if you don’t really know any other languages yet, having a teacher to explain new concepts for you will be a big help. Secondly, it keeps you accountable if you need external motivation to keep at something. It can also be a good way to meet new people!

If you’re going with self-study, look up what textbooks people recommend using for self-study for your target language (i.e. not one that relies heavily on having a teacher explain things for you). Obviously a textbook alone is not enough to learn a language, but imo it’s the best way to get to grips with the basics of grammar before you move on to more advanced stages. There are also plenty of online communities to help you out with any questions, especially for more popular languages.

Finally, do NOT expect to make worthwhile progress with Duolingo or apps like that. They are not designed to help you master a language. You might learn some useful vocab from them, but if you’re serious about learning a language, don’t waste your valuable time.

He’s certainly much bigger now, or maybe just extremely flattened

miniminuteman and Archaeology with Flint Dibble are both excellent archeology channels. They fight misinformation put out by grifters like Graham Hancock and share really interesting actual archaeology.

Esoterica is a fascinating channel which explores the less well-known aspects of religion and philosophy from an academic perspective.

Sebastian Lague makes very cool programming videos. He does coding adventures where he sets out to build something from scratch (e.g. in his latest video, he made a software rasteriser), going through the basics of how it works and explaining the challenges involved. The thing that sets his videos apart from coding tutorials and videos that explain how things work conceptually is that they follow his journey as he is learning himself. He doesn’t exactly go in ‘blind’ (he is a very skilled programmer and has a good idea of what he needs to do), but he also doesn’t immediately have the optimal answer he copied from someone else or prepared in advance.

Back in the day I made a meme and put it on r/prequelmemes, and then my brother came through to my room a few hours later to show me this meme his friend had sent him… while I still had it open in gimp

Receipts from the past ten years which he kept “just in case he needed to return something”

Yeah, I love it. Or maybe I’m just a dumbass bastard.

Don’t see why there should be any political opposition from the West for Ukraine going deep into Russia. Russia is the agressor invading them, after all. Anything between Kursk and Vladivostok is fair game.
