#PSA While you have the freedom to believe whatever you'd like, reality doesn't care what you believe. Not everything is "up for debate."

@noah_anyname @beatmastermatt Whereas the friendship Mr. Beat and I share is more serious. We'll text each other and sometimes talk on the phone, and not just about work-related stuff. We are a part of each other's personal lives. That's a different kind of friend. Make sense?

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

@noah_anyname @beatmastermatt "Friends" is an ambiguous term. There are many kinds. Our personalities click well. It's good to see him. We've hung out at creator-related functions and have talked about video-related things, but we don't have each other phone numbers or anything. Hence "work friends."

@FreyaHolmer I had a similar realization about "luggage" a few years back. It's crazy how little we think about words.

@TierZoo @acapellascience I think the "school/city/country" is the perfect example. Sometimes those also come with a sense of pride, like "my team." That seems to be what other Nebula creators feel when they use the word "my" in their promotions. Perfectly reasonable.

that canceled tv show you’ll never stop thinking about…

@KnowingBetterYT I always get Red Baron Classic Crust. Haven't noticed any changes to the recipe.

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

The world would be so much better if people could learn to just mind their own business.

@TierZoo "Normal is something people are until you get to know them. Everybody's crazy."

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

@TierZoo I've been making videos for over 12 years now and have been full-time for 6 of those years. My channel has been on the decline since mid-2022. In January 2024, I leaned hard into Patreon and it did grow, but not enough. Times are tough for everyone 😞.

@skdh AI generated people have been doing quite well in scammer ads 🤷‍♂️

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

I regret not being faceless from the beginning and now I can't even pivot to being faceless because people will think I've been taken over by AI.

[Knowing Better @KnowingBetterYT]

I don't trust any faceless channel created in the last 2-3 years.

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

@Kiwi75765339 The facial expressions and body language also happen to be *exhausting* for me. They're choreographed and part of the script. If I was a faceless channel, I'd be able to be much more genuine.

(Being faceless from the start would have saved a lot of money in production equip.)

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

@beatmastermatt I usually go for "haha" or "😆" because those can be laughing on the inside.

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

The Big Bang predicts a hot dense state in the early universe. To say it‘s wrong because we don’t know whether there is a singularity at t=0 is like saying black holes don’t exist because we don’t know whether there actually is a singularity behind the event horizon

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

@KnowingBetterYT My first thought: Your fridge has a screen?

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

Hot Take: Gravity is STILL a Force!

(because the term "force" isn't actually very useful)

[Nick Lucid @NickLucid]

@IAmMrsBeat It's so bad 😢
