Hey, I appreciate that! Thanks!

Lmao finally dude

@@Professor-Preston i got distracted professor preston my fault...

You're forgiven. Just turn in that essay about your homework opinions already.

@@Professor-Preston yessir 🫡

Thanks!

Glad I was able to elicit something like that. I just wanted to make a really frank Christmas special since the season is more and more about feeling what I need to feel.

Yeah, I remember your profile pic! Thank you so much! I'm just as excited for Season 3 - I've got big plans!

Thanks! I appreciate that a ton!

Hey, thanks! That title is probably more catching for KZbin, but it's less aesthetic to my eyes. I'll consider it though.

Walking with the Queen, doing the Werewolves of London

@migangelmart ha! But there's a serious claim that the ghost of Lon Chaney Sr. (Phantom/Hunchback not the Wolf Man) roams Universal studios

@@daRiddler32 I did not know that 😧

Lol no

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, so, was dragged into a vacation where I got given the flu just after fighting another illness for a month straight, so I was a little low on time to give the video a second pass. Definitely could've trimmed the explanation but was out of time. I think the reason I initially made it that way was I was anxious about leaving anyone out of the know and the text saying "you already know this" as a bandaid lol You're definitely right, though, and if I had more forethought, I could've trimmed it down. As for my monotone voice, I've been told it's funny and that people see my persona as a sleep deprived professor and that they liked that, so my updated model has tiredness lines added to the eye. I'm always shooting for something kind of subdued and pensive, I guess? But maybe being subdued and pensive at all times is too much lol Anyhow, I super appreciate the feedback! I typically try to keep catch-up segments short and will continue to outside of this one blunder, and I'll start considering when and how to emote more in these reads.

@Professor-Preston no problem dude. Your monotone voice didn't turn me off at all I just thought I'd mention it. If that's what you're going for, then you've certainly achieved it, and as new viewer I didn't think about the correlation between voice and persona, it makes a lot of sense. Anwyay keep it up dude, you've gained a sub from me.

Well, I appreciate that very greatly friend! I hope you enjoy what I make into the future.

Thanks, that's super nice of you to say! I'm really glad you've been enjoying my content and I can't wait to make more! I appreciate your presence even if I can't see you ;)

That's really high praise! I appreciate it a lot!

Thank you!

true

Hey, that's super nice of you! Thanks!

Fascinating

Hey, sorry it took me so long to respond! I really appreciate it! Hopefully one day I'll be evenly rated. I guess I should reiterate that I'm not a professor and don't actually know what I'm talking about. I'm not sure how much of my analysis of Joseph is rooted in Araki's actual intentions, and I was more just talking about why I personally find the character appealing, so perhaps take some salt with my analysis.

That's very kind of you! Maybe someday I won't be hidden.

@@Professor-Preston Here's hoping, only criticism is the character art but I imagine that could get better with time.

Yeah, I'm working on improving it but everyone's called it charming so far so I'm not in a big rush. It's me and being me is my goal here.

@@Professor-Preston That is a good goal, and yeah I agree, it is pretty charming.

Sure, I think representation trumps coding, but sometimes coding might be the best someone can do (maybe, I'm not specifically educated on such matters). I think what I was trying to say was that it was good that Araki featured less typically masculine characters as it helps de-stigmatize feminine/androgynous men to some degree. Coding probably wasn't the word I was looking for here. I really appreciate the criticism, by the way. Part of why I make these videos is to get schooled as much as I school others lol

Couldn't agree more.

Thank you!

Really? I figured most people would tap out around the covid episode. I'm glad you enjoyed it! You do some pretty good work on your channel yourself.

Hey, I really appreciate that! Thank you! I'm planning on making some more JoJo videos in the future!

Yeahhh I didn't have to do him like that. Maybe I'll do a video celebrating his strengths someday.

I don't know how they had the audacity to encourage students to not only do extracurricular activities but *also* get part time jobs to help pay for college when they also treated potentially hours of homework as the norm.

also im gonna play devils advocate and bring out an argument for homework. (not that i am not your opinion, but its important to think about too) : Homework taught me as a Child to do things and spent time with things i do not inherently have the Motivation or Excitement for, which is part of life.

First, yeah, I've always had a sorta tired, melancholic side, and it's nice having an outlet for it! Second, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts! I'm setting out to start conversations and get people thinking, so I'm actually really happy seeing counter points! I did briefly mention in the video that penalized homework may be necessary to motivate kids to try studying to begin with, but I feel like there could be alternatives. Even if homework does have that benefit, the volume definitely needs to be toned down. On the wikipedia page for homework, it says, "Younger students who spend more time on homework generally have slightly worse, or the same academic performance, as those who spend less time on homework." Sadly, the citation is pay walled, so I can't double-check the study at the moment, but I think this shows that even if homework is potentially beneficial, the way most schools are doing it is wrong.

@@Professor-Preston Thank you so much for your answer! I think it is hard to argue about the amount of homework since it varies a lot per country, type of school etc but i do have to agree , that it tends to be too much. My teachers told me that i will miss school and nah bruh, i worked longer than i do now so i do agree on that :)
