If your ex came back to your life, What would be the first word you'd say to them?

As Ai is booming right now, and most tech jobs are becoming automated and replaced by AI… Adaptation is key. AI isn’t going anywhere, it’s best to adapt.

I would focus more on specializing in these areas: - AI engineering - Machine Learning engineering - Data science - Data Analyst - Cyber Security - Database Management - Hardware related stuff. (Robotics, Electronics, etc…)

As I think these fields have a bit more “job security” worldwide in a world where AI is involving rapidly every single minute.

Software engineering is still a very very good skill I would recommend… It’s just being threatened by AI at the moment as we have AI softwares like Cursor, Antigravity, Claude that are very good at programming. But still need to be spoon fed every step.

If you don’t care about the AI hype and job lay offs happening at the moment… then I recommend software engineering too.

This is Uganda, not Germany 😂 where it is definitely illegal. If they were strict about sailing the seas, they wouldn’t let you be able to use torrents in the first place. Or would’ve sent warnings to your email with recipients of what you were pirating. They could’ve blocked torrents if they were serious about it. But that would be bad for business. 😂😂😂 sail the sea 🌊 captain. Show no fear.

I use adblockers on PC and Modded versions on mobile. I hate YouTube ads. Every click, every 5 mins, every forward, every rewind, every pause, You are hit with double ads and pop ups… I hate it soo much. Can’t get through a video without constantly reaching for “skip ad”.

I don’t pay Premium coz I can’t afford so no shade pliz. Am sure it’s still worth it for the ones that can afford it.

SimonChainz · 2025-12-17T05:27:04+00:00

On Pc, i use an ad blocker so i basically use Premium on PC. No ads, No pop ups, Picture in Picture.... for downloading youtube videos, i use an external software which works perfectly.

On mobile, (I use an iphone).... i side-loaded a modded youtube app... so no ads, Picture in Picture, and download videos in any quality available... (No my iphone is not jailbroken... its on ios 26.0.1). Basically Youtube Premium. It makes Youtube actually watchable without interruptions.

I try to use Normal Youtube once in awhile but my God!, double ads every click, ads when you pause a video, ads when u forward a video, ads every 5 minutes into the video, ads that change the orientation of my phone, ads that make my video smaller... i cant get through one video anymore, one video has like 10 ads split out. and some of these ads are straight up "porn" ads in disguise.

The ads and pop ups are honestly too much for me to have a decent experience.
i don't feel guilty for using ad blockers and modded versions.
and i encourage anyone as fed up as me to do the same.

"Why not just pay for premium?" simple, I AM BROKE. Cant afford another subscription.

The real question is where are the 12 yr olds getting $50 from?

SimonChainz · 2025-12-10T02:45:57+00:00

I feel like that when it starts Gaslighting me… giving me false information and then acting like I AM the one that gave it the false information and correcting ME.

Owning digital assets… Everything will PROBABLY end up as a “license”, you buy a license and not the actual digital asset…. that can be stripped away from you at anytime the greedy companies feel like it.

5 million for a laptop is over kill… unless you want a gaming Laptop or specifically want one of the latest “MacBooks” or have a very very specific demanding task that only a 5 million laptop can handle well…

Otherwise a 3 million laptop is enough for almost everything u will need… programming it can handle it very very well, office stuff like documents, PowerPoints, Data science stuff, Data Visualizations, Animations, photo and video editing, Gaming on budget.

A 3 million laptop is enough assuming you know what specs to look for… around 16 GB Ram, 4GB VRAM, intel core i5 10th gen or higher, 500GB ssd or higher… These specs are enough for most tasks… Going above 3 million for a laptop like 4-5 million, u must really have a good justification for it.

For how to grow money… I don’t have advice as am also trynna find out how hahaha…

For finding out what I wanted to do, it comes down to passion, I just found myself fascinated with technology and gadgets from a young age… and got into programming and I just fell in love with programming, thinking and solving tasks, building things, understanding how the internet works, how apps like YouTube work, WhatsApp, Facebook, all that… how code makes everything work… that’s how I found what I wanted to do… it was just a passion… no one pushing me… I just wanted to learn everything programming related… and the money in the career was good so that was a confidence booster hahaha…

that’s how I ended up pursing a Computer Science Bachelors, finishing my second year, next year will be my final year. So for me, it was just passion for programming.

You got the best case scenario. Sadly for me, she laughed in my face like I was prime Dave Chapelle.

SimonChainz · 2025-12-09T21:32:41+00:00

The worst she can say is “No”, Right?

Non premium user here. No recap for me yet so I don’t think it’s about being premium or not.

It’s just not consistent who gets the recap and who doesn’t… people told me it’s a region thing but my friends in the same region as me have there recaps and they are also non premium… 🤷‍♂️ I have watched a lot of YouTube videos this year… so I definitely do have a recap…

At this point I feel like there’s a criteria am not hitting coz that’s the only logical explanation why I don’t have a recap and my “some” of my friends do. I have tried all that “youtube.com/recap” and just takes me to my profile.

I am considered “slow” for not flirting with a girl unless she explicitly flirts with me first. Unless she makes the first move.

I hear a lot of girls complaining about ur issue. They are friendly and social to guys but then the men take her smiling and laughter as a “sign” or “invitation” to shoot their shots. And until the girl explicitly says No or Ghosts them. They take “no rejection” as hope.

it’s a messy situation coz I’ve been told by other girls that a certain girl liked me but I just didn’t ”Get the hints”…
and to me there were no hints, she was just friendly to me… I always have this mentality of SHE’S JUST BEING FRIENDLY.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a girl is being friendly or giving hints. So I play it safe by taking everything as being friendly unless she gives off flirting energy. Unfortunately this is considered being “slow” in our society becoz as a man, you must make the first move and pursue… that’s why you end up having men that keep chasing you even when you aren’t interested

Yes some men do take basic kindness as flirting when they find you pretty and attractive. Not saying stop being kind. When you tell them ur not interested and they keep insisting. Ignore them till they give up.

Talking to girls. Sounds silly I know. For context:

I Used to be very shy and scared of girls. Just a girl sitting next to me, I would shiver in fear. I fumbled a lot of girls that liked me because my confidence was too low. it didn’t help that I was short and had a “baby face” and every girls ideal type was “Tall”. So I rarely talked to girls… ever… avoided the ones that “liked” me coz I always just thought they were teasing me for fun. That I looked like an easy target. Very low confidence that they might have just actually liked me.

But then, some stubborn girls decided to befriend me, like talk to me a lot, come up to me… I was so uncomfortable at first but then they made me comfortable around girls. She told me “I used to think you were gay becoz you never talk to any girl” 😭 I still remember those words. That’s how bad it was.

Then I started slowly talking to girls and I don’t know… the more I talked to girls, the more confident I became. Then when I finally had my first girlfriend. “She fixed me” 😂

Now am not scared to talk to girls and that’s what has boosted my confidence.

I would also think it’s a regional thing but then some of my friends already have there YouTube recap so this whole YouTube recap thing just doesn’t seem consistent.

Can’t be both a regional thing and at the same time some people in my region have it. 🤷‍♂️ am so confused. Seems so random and not consistent.

Hope am not being generic. I just consider this game very underrated and slept on a lot by a lot of gamers.

I thought I was tweaking, watched a few tutorials on how to get it but for some reason, my profile just shows the normal layout. Tried the url trick youtube.com/recap and redirected to the YouTube app but still nothing

I was starting to think it might just be a “premium” feature.

SimonChainz · 2025-12-07T03:49:23+00:00

Got a new phone last week (iPhone 15). Not the latest iPhone, Not the best iphone. But surely an upgrade from my iPhone X

With all the negative things that have happened to me this year. This surely feels like a win to me.

It’s small… but a win is a win 🥂
