Self-confidence

i wish i could understand the appeal of listening to people sitting around flapping their faceholes about pointless shit

I despise this type of podcasts... just idiots (generally) rambling about themselves or shit they know nothing about.

This is why I almost exclusively listen to podcasts that are scripted, like casefile, freakonomics, this American life, radio lab, wait wait don't tell me, etc.

Before this, all too often I would find myself listening to people aimlessly chatting about what they had for breakfast and such, and I realized those that scripted their episodes made for a tremendously better listening experience.

I tried to listen to a Kubernetes podcast once, where they talk to engineers who created it. They just fucking ramble about sports and unrelated bullshit for about an hour and I never listened to another episode.

I've dropped so many podcasts where the title was promising an interesting topic, but then inside it's just these dudebros rambling about nothing. I don't understand how some of these podcasts have so much popularity.

I've literally done this like 6 times with writing. I start writing something and after like 3 sentences I say "who the fuck do I think I am that anyone would give a shit about what I have to write!?" I've never gotten past one paragraph.

I don't know why comments feel different, it's probably because I use social media to just vent my frustrations and express just how much I loath who I am. Sorry for using Lemmy as my therapist! :P

Yeah, but what's the name of the podcast?

Yep. The difference between investing a couple hours vs. hundreds of hours.

"bro that's why you bring your cooler if you're buying ice cream bro"

Every time I see these kinds of d-bags, I hear Bum Bag's "another white boy with a podcast" in my head.

Everyone starts out with shortcomings. No one is born with talent. Learning something you want to do is easier than ever with YouTube and the internet.

Think positive, take what you want.
