It's interesting how youtube secretively censors 'controversial' topics by intentionally making it hard to rank in the algorithm and making it very difficult for certain types of channels to grow over 1 million. I looked at some of the old channels from big youtube self-help gurus with over 1 million subs and their channels are massively tanking. Huge channels that used to get 100k, 300k views a video are now getting just 10k and so on. It looks like youtube has punished a lot of them. Islam is one of the world's most populous religions with adherents in the billions but the biggest muslim 'influencers' are all well under 1 million subs lol.

Overall, with so much restaurant price inflation it is no longer worthwhile to visit steakhouses for casual dining when good meat can be acquired and the same thing can be made at home.

@Jade Bahr The much maligned 'Obi Wan' show had an addition to the Obi-Wan & Anakin relationship- basically Obi Wan reveals that he is very sorry for raising Anakin wrong (implying that he did not educate him properly in morality and philosophy) and he blames himself for everything. It's pretty good scene imho. ending spoilers:

He left his role as the Witcher because the showrunners weren't following the books and Geralt wasn't the 'amateur philosopher' he envisioned him to be. The actual character in the books/games has a lot of insight to human/social/political nature, sarcasm and dry humor, and talks a lot. He also 'gets the ladies'- and not just yennefer. In the games they chose to get David Cockle talk like Batman/Clint Eastwood and it worked- in the books I doubt that Sapkowski necessarily had that in mind. : This is the redesigned Geralt from the W3 which is the most familar version worldwide. Henry Cavil was a big fan of the game but didn't read the books before he sought out the role. So it is evident to me that he was trying to talk like David Cockle and play fight as such and expected the character to be like the one from the game. imho Henry Cavill was still miscast. Besides the personality mismatch (and the showrunners not following the books/games anyway)- Geralt isn't a bodybuilder either..!

+ based on what I remember from the books & the Simarillion, I think they really screwed up Galadriel in Rings of Power They made her a sword-wielding girlboss in the show with anger issues. I don't think that's how Tolkien wrote her. She was more like a high official among the elves, like a Ducchess. When the party meets Galadriel in LOTR she is essentially a world-weary ancient woman who had experienced so much, and is set to retire and disappear from the realm, to follow the massive decline of the Elf race. Kate Blanchett played this perfectly imho. The Simarillion etc. are mainly notes about her in her more active years. Tolkein, who fought in WW1 as a comms officer and in the Somme, - was deeply shattered in her heart by seeing the ecological ruin of industrialization, capitalism, and also the decimation of entire generation of British men. They would experience the collapse of the British empire and see how it destroyed the spirit of Britain and a belief of a great future. I suspect that his treatment of the Elves is a bit taken from that. The poetry of TS Eliot, his contemporary, is filled also with this pathos. Basically what has happened to Britain after WW1 is happening now with the USA!

The Eataly in NYC has far more stuff than the others outside of the city. The prices are also terrible lol.
