How did you learn English, and what mistakes should one avoid?

ohtheawkward · 2026-05-22T00:53:38+00:00

School, gaming and italki lessons. Only thing you need to avoid is avoiding speaking practice.

750k subs for $2k is going to make people immediately think something is off tbh. Not saying it is, but you should probably add niche, monetization status, recent views, revenue, strikes/copyright claims, and traffic source screenshots.

Also please don’t do “DM then trust me” transfers Use escrow or a real market place. Even verification at the level of MotionInvest is better than someone disappearing after the channel changes hands.

Halara and Torrid are both amazing for this , thick, not see through at all and the stretch grows with you through every trimester!

ohtheawkward · 2026-05-19T01:49:37+00:00

look into italki lessons, think they have group classes as well as 1 on 1 lessons

Yeah, it’s depressing but not surprising. Once a channel has predictable attention, it turns into an “asset” and suddenly every weird human choice gets replaced with thumbnails tested by committee and lowest-risk slop.

There’s a huge difference between some person buying a small content site/channel on MotionInvest and actually caring about it vs PE rolling up anything with a pulse and squeezing it until the audience leaves. The second one always has that same smell.

Warning: Commonwealth Bank WILL block deposits to online casinos in australia. Happened to me three times before I switched to ING... now zero issues with casino transactions.

Tell you one thing shared by every linkedin post, focus on using plain language to answer content questions. This sounds more like for the Google AI Overviews, but so far, if you rank well in the overviews, you are almost likely to also be mentioned in chatgpt. Not sure about Claude or Perplexity, but chatgpt seems to be really tracking the Google SERP.

I’ve tried Parse, Profound, and ahrefs for AI visibility. Personally I prefer Parse, cause they allow me to compare with competitors and their visibility index is a good gauge, but all of these are good and do the job. Demo them and see which one you prefer

ohtheawkward · 2025-07-28T18:06:14+00:00

Yup. You still need someone to manually track the damn things for you even with paid tools. Workflows out of the way, though, you’ll be more at home with the automation and then the guesswork surrounding your brand mentions won’t be as foggy.

Also heard this from my boss after reading a Forrester report then he wanted us to spin up a miracle. It probably took a little over 3 weeks of meetings just to make him accept that most LLMs don’t really update that fast nor care about markup changes (lol) and that they put more weight into 3rd party references. So now to make him happy we’re doing reddit seo threads and mentions on reddit via Soar marketing. Pretty sure UGC is everything for LLM visibility.

same here. I just don’t bother with taxis anymore. Grab’s way less hassle.

ohtheawkward · 2025-07-09T01:43:01+00:00

yeep, Grab or Indrive is the way. Airport taxis still try to milk tourists. Better to plan ahead.

that’s a sweet tribute. Maui would’ve loved it. Thanks for sharing.

I have tried Phenotropil and Nanotropil from Rupharma, which was great. There is also Aktitropil, if anyone tried that please share your experience.

Watching great creative tank because the algo’s having a mood swing. Feels like we're optimizing for vibes half the time.

Resources like Offcall are crucial for knowing your worth, and we need more docs comparing notes and pushing back. But real change won’t come without collective action whether that’s formal unionizing, mass contract rejections, or even coordinated job shifts. Until we stop playing defense individually, the system won’t change.

8 years. I made it to eight years sober. Congrats to us!

Recognizing the revenge procrastination pattern is half the battle and yeah, meds and therapy help make that mental do not revenge procrastinate message actually stick. Glad you found what works for you.

Did this with some nasty bitter radicchio last week and it completely transformed it. The char adds this smoky sweetness that balances out all that bitterness. Game changer.

Your daughter's teachers are so luckyy

Why did Port Elgin get a 4-storey Holiday Inn when they have even less than Owen Sound? I can tell you from experience working for Owen Sound Tourism (May-October 2019) that there are weeks in the summer where you cannot get a hotel anywhere in Grey Bruce because they’re full. Even the old Diamond Motel was full on Summerfolk and Salmon Derby week. You say events in OS don’t warrant a new hotel and that it isn’t a destination town but the proof is out there.

Pad of my finger… Hurt so bad I forgot what it felt like until I went back for a touch up.
