The Destiny Realtalk of September 2023

[@shortgrayblesanofive3343]

We've needed loremasters like you since a long time ago

[@JustEPIC19]

For reeaaaal

[@GO-iw1tt]

Ngl him talking about life is just better than wierd internet drama

[@benjamindourney7716]

yeah i’ve listened to the OG realtalks so many times

[@SDREHXC]

Absolutely. I come back to the videos like this one a lot. Or the ones where he just shoots the shit with Dan or reckful. It’s the reason I started watching in like 2015. Back then the drama stuff was way more sporadic and spread out so when it happened it was funny and a change of pace but now it feels normal and cringe.

[@sceptre3316]

​@@benjamindourney7716 can you link to some of the older vids where destiny talks about life please I cant find any of them

[@LeastWx]

And the mind numbing political shit.

[@yupimawesome]

I like both

[@matsab7930]

Damn the first 5 minutes is so relatable. I put so little effort into school and figured out so many ways to avoid handing in homework on time. I did most of it in breaks or during other classes anyway. It set me up for a rough time at university because I had never had to work properly before, and it’s taken me years to undo the bad habits.

[@happycrimson]

i always just found that high school (or at least my high school for whatever reason) required very little effort to do well, and so now that im in uni im finding it super hard to actually put in the effort. its been two years and im still trying to undo the bad habits lmao

[@matsab7930]

@@happycrimson you’ll get there, it just takes time. I needed to explore my motivation for studying and try to find an appreciation for the act of learning. Make sure you study with other people as much as you can too; the social aspect helps and you can try to imitate what better students do to see if it works for you. Oh, and don’t skip class. I told myself I could just do all the work for the course outside of class, but trust me it can really go downhill from there haha.

[@happycrimson]

@@matsab7930 yea... my first year i made all the typical mistakes and it was rly bad. the main thing for me was that for whatever reason i refused to study anywhere other than my dorm - the only problem was that obviously once i was at my dorm studying was the last thing i wanted to do lol. nowadays i find studying in public spaces (esp a library or any space where others are also doing stuff) has solved a lot of my issues with regards to just not being able to do anything. i'm literally 1000x more productive when i want to be. and yeah - jesus christ, i skipped so many classes last year lol. so far this year ive been attending most if not all of them though so i've gotten rid of that habit thankfully... the collaborative studying thing is something i havent really thought about tho and ill definitely be trying that more. i remember in high school even just talking to the nerdy tryhard kids before any test would be a huge help. thanks for sharing!

[@chickenandksivideoreviewer9739]

I didn't even care enough to cheat. Fully checked out by 14

[@youtubeviolatedme7123]

I had the opposite problem. I worked so hard in high school just to get admitted to a mid-tier state college. I was so bitter that I gave up working hard and slacked off in my freshman year of college. I got my butt handed to me that year, and got my act together afterwards. The harsh reality is that while nobody should make unnecessary sacrifices in hopes of becoming successful, working hard can sometimes be less stressful than dealing with the consequences of slacking off.

[@heathermason7875]

i love destiny's real talks, thanks for uploading this

[@GiltleyRage]

The addies work, it's the most chill I've seen him in a while...

[@Taireyn]

Really relate to some of the comments, used to do the bare minimum in school or everything last minute, now in Uni it’s so difficult to undo these habits

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

Same, it took me like 4 months of therapy to undo my shitty habits, but now I’m able to be super productive when I want to be. I was able to catch up to all the exams I was missing, but I basically had to shut myself indoors for 9 months, my whole life revolved around gym, work and studying. Strangely enough it was easier back then because I literally had nothing else to do but to study in my free time. Now it’s a little tricky combining other different activities with study, but I found that if I have a couple of days free I’m able to use that time to plan out how to manage my time in a day, week and month and then I’m usually good

[@bruhdabones]

You should put the VOD date in the description. It would be super helpful to know when these things are from exactly

[@kingz7151]

We haven't had a Destiny real talk in so long man...

[@jeanlucbergman479]

This was only a week ago so actually we have

[@belesir8847]

love these types of streams, wish he did them more often.

[@jlspracher]

This has the vibe of a band teacher telling stories for the class period rather than rehearsing that day.

[@serronserron1320]

I never actually played drums in band class.....

[@Aryzo]

Destiny does have band teacher vibes huh

[@jamfox971]

Been waiting on these kinds of videos for a year now. This is content

[@SDREHXC]

Man I miss the Kyle days. Destiny waxing nostalgia makes me feel super nostalgic for my own earlier years. Edit: regarding the high school story Growing up it was just my mom and I so when my voice changed I used to call into my high school pretending to be my own dad. It worked for about a year and a half then one day my mom came home from work and she goes “so I hear your dad has been talking to the school” and I’ve never ran so fast in my life 😂

[@juliarusiecka2913]

ok

[@addie1080]

That's so funny, my mum didn't have a mobile so I put my mobile number down on all the paperwork and they'd check with me if I didn't show up. I would text them and say I had an appointment and never got in trouble for skipping school to meet a boy lol

[@SDREHXC]

@@addie1080 we didn’t have cellphones as a normal thing in my day so I had to run home and make sure the school didn’t leave a message on our answering machine or anything.

[@polishspy3088]

Do the vods for all those clips? It be nice to look back at those vods, I came in during the cardboard abuse era. So many bans that day

[@tiz7244]

Listen man, if you're good enough to get away with cheating through school, that's a life lesson in of itself.

[@Hawquin]

In my high school our books had numbers that were assigned to specific students and you had to return your number or they would charge you and if you tried turning in a book that wasn't your number they'd refuse it.

[@jansmycka4338]

Yeah, right! I watched this live and it felt a bit out of character - only to connecting that this was either first or second day of him taking Adderal

[@EviloveMetal]

[@SaucemanK]

Steven is such an anomaly. But in the best way. No other creator or figure on the internet has had such an impact on me and id argue, the internet at large. Hes just so genuine which leads to him creating some of the most relatable and honestly inspiring content ive ever seen. Plus hes amazing in the political sphere.

[@m3morizes]

10:06 I find it interesting (mostly sad) that the of all the notable alumni in the wiki, only about one or two are notable for STEM-related acheivements. The rest are either writers or actors or authors or athletes or politicians. I doubt the school didn't produce good engineers or scientists or mathematicians, but this does at least show that STEM acheivements are probably underappreciated in the general public, i.e. in open discourse or popular culture.

[@Jatischar]

STEMcels are truly the most oppressed Class

[@JuicyG_]

Because most stems go on to be cogs in a larger machine. Cogs arent all that notable

[@youtubeviolatedme7123]

A lot of brilliant STEM majors go on to research important things that people don't care about. Everyone likes to talk about how research team X discovered the cure for some disease, but nobody likes to talk about all the trials and errors by research team X's predecessors it took to achieve that. How people dedicate their entire careers to researching what doesn't cure the disease. It makes sense, though, because when people talk about the US beat the USSR to putting a man on the moon, they all conveniently forget how the USSR achieved a bunch of other space related expeditions before the US did. It's not spite, it's just human nature to focus on successes, not failures.

[@DnASingularity]

Might be confirmation bias. A politician or writer might love to be featured as alumni, for the publicity, bragging rights or just because of the more socially oriented personality type while a STEM-related one might not care for any of that, never reporting back their field of work and/or achievements.

The addy streams were elite

1:05:54 im a senior in highschool rn. I wanna listen to destiny but im to lazy lol

[@absolutenothing7094]

How come none of his classmates have reached out to him. If i foind out one of my classmates was a millionaire streamer, i'd be stoked.

[@TheStatisticalPizza]

Because he's lying about it. The first clip posted here you can see Destiny admit he didn't really have any friends in high school, but as the years have gone on he's painted this picture of himself as being a guy that was friends with everyone because he was so relatable and funny. Love his content for the most part but any early DGGers will have picked up on how deeply insecure he actually is, dude is super careful about crafting a specific image these days even though it doesn't align with reality.

[@TheOneShorter]

@@TheStatisticalPizzahe says in this video that he only had the 2 close friends but he could get along with anyone when hanging out with them. You’re reading into this a lot more than you need to

[@absolutenothing7094]

@@TheStatisticalPizza i'm sorry. I'm still confused. So what you're saying is that he was never friends with anyone,he's just lying about it. But i was talking about classmates in general,friends or not. If one of my *classmates* was a famous millionaire political streamer, i'd be excited. So how come none of anybody who knew hm and encountered him has reached out to him.

[@absolutenothing7094]

@@TheStatisticalPizza he said he never had more than a few friends in high school, but then while working at a casino he did. So how is that contradictory? Sorry, i can't rewatch the clips right now. Tell me more about this specific image. If you can point out specific instances and examples of him attempting to build an image/being insecure or otherwise majorly contradicting himself without acknowledging it, i'd love to hear about it.

[@TheStatisticalPizza]

@@absolutenothing7094 I don't have any clips saved it's just something I've noticed about him over the years. He used to be fairly open about his lack of friends when he first started streaming, but especially in the last 3 years he's started talking himself up as being someone who was quite popular and always smooth with the ladies in high school. It's not a huge deal I just don't really understand the contradictions, he's definitely done well for himself socially now that he has more fame and tons of money. I stopped watching him for a long time and started up again recently, the change is actually kinda jarring to be honest. Maybe go back and watch some of his IRL streams when he was hanging with Hasan, definitely a radical personality change.

[@coffeepot3123]

The boy is all grown up (sorta) .. I found Steven's content back in 2017 ish, and i thought to myself "Wait, isn't that the pedophile guy?", (i heard a rumor online) but then i watched his video explaining all the conservative prejudices/what they mean when they say XYZ, dialog tree etc, and i was no longer a conservative hahaha.

[@leirex_1]

School just gives you PTSD. Almost everyone I know has these types of "back to school, failing assignments or exams" nightmares. It also seems to be independent of nationality. EDIT: Whoever wrote "I never heard about it in the EU". Well there you go. I can also give you 3 more examples.

Scarlet Letter is boring as fuck, and I had to read it in high school and college. Lord of the Flies was one of the few high school books I liked. Of Mice and Men is of course a great one. We did not read any Vonnegut, unfortunately.

[@Plushiecandie]

Smh i hve nightmares abt almost dying again at least once a month, rookie shit

[@jorotroid]

5:55 TI-85? That seems like an odd calculator to have from 2003-2007. I'm older than Destiny and by my time in high school (1997-2001) the 85 was already replaced by the 86 and was discontinued in 1997. I think I maybe knew one person with an 85. So what I am getting at: if it really was a TI-85 and he stole it from another student, that student probably wasn't from a wealthy family and the calculator was probably a hand-me-down from about a decade earlier. 21:55 I also cheated by programing notes into my calculator, haha.

[@RPBiohazard]

Ti-83+ was the standard at my school from 2008-2010 lol

[@jorotroid]

@@RPBiohazard Yeah, the TI-83+ was part of the long line of TI's most popular calculators, starting with the TI-81 to the TI-84 now. The TI-85 (and subsequently the TI-86) was a different series that offered more calculus features than the 81s to 84s.

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

Same, once I graduated I had a couple of nightmares about highschool. At the time it felt so hard, but looking back I realize it honestly was a walk in the park. I used to complain about too much homework yet I was able to procrastinate for hours and then do everything either the night before or the same day I was supposed to have my homework ready.
