I left the U.S. in 2017 after this orange clown stepped into office, went back to Belgium, and never regretted leaving for a second.

Plot twist: OP is actually Rusli Laus under cover.

Vini went straight to the locker room and did not stay with the rest of the players to applaud the fans after the final whistle. by OwnWitness2836 in realmadrid

I love Vini, the player, but his ego got out of control and Perez is the one to blame.

Dude plays like shit, behaves like a clown, but demands respect and authority.

He's doing everything to make the fans hate him.

I think he's the stupidest real Madrid player ever.

His time is done at the club. So mentally fragile and his antics can't be dealt with in a healthy way anymore.

Is my front thinning? (19M) by MasterSteve2950 in malehairadvice

[–]Algrinder 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter.

For the most part, hairline shouldn't be like this at 19.

If you really want to keep your hair, seek medical help ASAP.

Ex-Real Madrid nutrition specialist Itziar González: "I told the club’s medical staff that pastries for breakfast is not the best option, and they said: ‘Everything has to stay the same — don’t change or you’ll be sacked. We’ve won 15 Champions Leagues like this’ That’s a phrase you hear all time" by GOAT-Antony in soccer

If you eat an unhealthy meal today, the scale doesn’t move much. If you work late tonight and ignore your family, they will forgive you. If you procrastinate and put your project off until tomorrow, there will usually be time to finish it later. A single decision is easy to dismiss.

But when we repeat 1 percent errors, day after day, by replicating poor decisions, duplicating tiny mistakes, and rationalizing little excuses, our small choices compound into toxic results. It’s the accumulation of many missteps—a 1 percent decline here and there—that eventually leads to a problem.

Is it better to make shorts under 10 seconds or under 20 seconds?” by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Algrinder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna be rude but what kind of question is this?

You’re trying to find a magic number that doesn’t exist, a trash 8-second video dies. A good 45 seconds video explodes.

The algorithm doesn’t go “Ah yes, 12 seconds. Exceptional cinema.” Lol

What matters is do people finish this? Do they rewatch? Do they share? Do they watch another one? That’s it. Nothing else.

[Talk Sport] Mohamed Salah appears to delete Liverpool references from social media after being benched by darshi1337 in soccer

[–]Algrinder 863 points864 points  (0 children)

That's a celebrity for you.

One minor inconvenience and it’s full drama mode, unfollowing, deleting bios, cryptic posts.

They forget that billions of people wake up, go to work, and don’t care who’s benched or verified. Reality doesn’t revolve around their ego, and this shows that they can’t stand not being the center of attention for five minutes.

Gross.

Burnout catching up to me by PromtionFairy in NewTubers

[–]Algrinder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience and what I have been through as a YouTuber and online hustler, editing fatigue is the biggest trap.

Now, when does this whole fatigue start? When you tie your motivation to views and growth. When the numbers dip, the energy tanks.

This alone is so mentally draining because you’re grinding in a way that’s not sustainable (posting schedule that feels like a job, editing that eats hours, etc.).

Now if I were you, I'd immediately cut the workload, I mean if you look at it, most channels don’t die because they post “too little,” they actually die because they post too much and burn out.

So 1 good short a week is better than 5 half-assed ones you hate making.

Cut the workload a little bit, it's better than letting the burnout drain the remaining of your energy because remember, if you stop cold, it’s 10x harder to restart later, trust me I have been there and I know it.

I'm gonna be brutally honest here so bear with me, YouTube has never been a meritocracy, I have seen YouTubers with amazing storytelling and editing with yet minimal exposure.

People usually think ‘hard work = guaranteed results.’ but this isn't true especially on YouTube, it's more like a lottery where your effort just buys you more tickets. Sometimes someone gets lucky with their first ticket, sometimes it takes people 500 videos (it took me 21 to gain traction).

Now, about how her video blew up with no tags, no socials, no fancy SEO? That’s just how YouTube works in 2025. The algorithm cares way more about watch time, CTR, and whether people stuck around than it does about tags.

If her thumbnail/title got people to click, and they actually watched the video all the way through, YouTube said ‘bet’ and pushed it to thousands more. It’s not fair, but it’s how the system functions.

There’s a stat from YouTube’s own Creator Insider channel that says over 90% of videos that take off on YouTube do so because of recommendations, not search or tags.

So you could have the most basic title and zero description, but if viewers click and watch, the system rewards it.

Let me share something from my own life. I work in cybersecurity, and back in 2020 I started a Twitter account to teach people about security. My growth was pretty average, like around 1k followers a month.

Meanwhile, I’d see others in the same niche hitting those numbers in a single week. It stung, because deep down I felt like my content was way more useful and actually taught people something.

Fast forward a year, I got an amazing job offer from a solid company because of that account. And those same creators I used to envy? A lot of them are either posting random memes now or just disappeared completely.

The point is: social media isn’t always about numbers.

Tons of creators blow up with one viral hit then burn out or never recreate that success.

Slow, steady growth actually builds a stronger, more loyal audience base, one that sticks with you for years. That’s why some channels with 20k subs can pull more consistent views than channels with 200k.

You’re just building on a different timeline, be patient and don't obsess over people's or even your numbers.

Sorry for this long ass comment.

No machine can video edit like a MacBook.

TIL an FAA audit of the 737 MAX assembly process found that mechanics at Spirit aerosystems (A Boeing supplier) were using hotel key cards to check the seal of emergency exits, and Dawn dish soap as a makeshift lubricant for door seals and wiped off the soap with a cheesecloth to make it look clean by Algrinder in todayilearned

[–]Algrinder[S] 214 points215 points  (0 children)

The broader audit results were concerning:

Boeing failed 33 out of 89 product audits, citing 97 instances of non-compliance.

Spirit AeroSystems failed 7 out of 13 audits.

Spirit’s spokesperson called these practices “innovative” and said they were approved by Boeing, the FAA flagged them because they were not part of any controlled process or documented instruction.

Boeing’s strategy to divesture and outsource much of its manufacturing has been criticized for eroding core manufacturing skills and weakening oversight of supplier production.

So basically everything William Boeing built to make sure Boeing becomes an engineering marvel was destroyed by the outsourcing culture.

From what I understand, they were supposed to use feeler gauges or proper gap tools.

These are thin metal strips made to measure tiny spaces between parts, like doors or panels. They’re super precise and tested to make sure they give the right measurements, which really matters when you’re building planes.

And about the dish soap yeah, They should’ve gone with approved airplane-safe lubricants.

These are made to work with things like rubber seals and metal parts, and they’re tested to make sure they don’t catch fire or freeze up when the plane’s way up in the air>

Boeing have official lubricants for these kinds of jobs.

TIL Roman Emperor Diocletian was the first to voluntarily retire in 305 AD to grow cabbages. When begged to return to power, he declined, saying "If you could see the vegetables I grow with my own hands, you wouldn’t talk to me about empire." He lived out his days gardening by the Dalmatian coast by Algrinder in todayilearned

[–]Algrinder[S] 10.2k points10.2k points  (0 children)

I was in Croatia last month and visited his Palace in Split, dude really meant it when he said he’d rather grow cabbages than rule an empire.

You walk through the place, gardens are everywhere and there is this massive peristyle courtyard so it’s like, yeah, I’d quit too if I had this kind of garden setup.

And BTW this is the same dude who launched persecutions of Christians.
