Challenge 58: Watch now not later!

So there I was minding my own business, getting on with my day and I had totally forgot about toadys new challenge. Fortunately I have some suggestions from @lost_one to fall back on :)
This weeks challenge is to watch something from your youtube watch-later tab. Obviously you may not use youtube or if you do you may not ulitilize the watch-later feature, if this is the case feel free to alter it to something like watch something you have been meaning to watch for a while. Good luck everyone, break out the popcorn and happy viewing

this is such a good idea i was just thinking the other day i should do that more often :D

taking tonight easy, currently have two lined up (from a playlist of thousands..) - one on the ethiopian orthodox church and another on the environmental impact of ai. both things i have long wanted to learn about !

I had 262 videos on my watch later, watched a few... idk if it is worth mentioning which ones but:

Where to Start with Philosophy? (100th Video Special!) from the channel Philosophytoons.

ADHD in Women from the channel HowtoADHD.
and HECK from the channel Bitesized Nightmares. ( This is the short film that Skinamarink was based off of FAIR WARNING FOR DISTURBING CONTENT, HEAVY STUFF IN THERE

And I also cleared a little bit of the videos I had lost interest in, or had too many from a subject

 

[CatLvr]

I'm embarrassed to say how many videos I have in my "watch later" list. Most of them are about art ... Or philosophy. I am gonna make a concentrated effort to watch 5 videos a day until I have that mess pared down. I'll probably still be working on it this time NEXT year!

 

[TheHolySword]

finally sat down and watched this years yugioh world championship. been putting it off for absolutely no reason. blows my mind how insane these decks are lol

I'm gonna catch those above, too, but curiosity got the better of me and I watched HECK ...

No kidding!! If you had neglectful, damaged or cruel caretakers when you were little HECK could very well trigger some -- well -- issues. Be careful.

Challenge 59: Give someone a lift

So we have done a similar challenge before where I challenged people to give someone a compliment. I thought for this challenge the idea could be either physically or metaphorically. So you could actually physically do something for somebody, this could even be giving someone a ride somewhere (an actual lift) or just helping them out with something. Or you could give someone a mental life by like saying something nice to them or giving them a compliment or making a kind gesture.

Personally I am going to write some christmas cards and give out some early christmas gift at the end of the week so I will try to include some nice messages in the cards.

I'm going to start making Christmas cards for my loved ones tomorrow Everyone will get a unique one! I might do one for my favourite Discord group too haha

a little later than monday for updating, but i got rid of more tabs...it feels so nice not having that 'work' over me lol

as for this weeks challenge, i have been holding open doors (not exactly lifting someone up but it was nice) and (especially with the xmas season) been giving out compliments. its hard not to with all the pretty shirts, earrings, and other ways people celebrate. the colours are just so pretty.

oh and someone lifted me up i was at the hospital with someone else and my ana was acting up (my morning started off sick then was like "im hungry"). i wasnt going home for a couple more hours. and this nice lady with a "comfort cart" brought me some food and water.

Challenge 60: A year in review

Well it's coming to the end of the year so how about you give yourself an end of year review. You may be new to the thread, you may have followed it from the start or you may just browse it intermitently. How have you found the challenges? how many have you completed? Which ones did you like and which ones were a struggle.

Personally I tried to do every challenge each week, granted it is easy for me because I get to set them. Some I couldn't really do like the Geocashing one but I did have a go. I do particular like the cooking ones as it motivates me to get into the kitchen.

Hello this is my first post on this thread. I'm hoping I can use this as a way to hold myself accountable to work on my mental health. I'm very new to this forum so I haven't had the opportunity to be involved in these challenges yet but I'm really excited to start and try some of the ones that come out with the new "season"

shes so nice, and i like her so much during my time at the hospital (thats not done) that i decided to make her a christmas card :) . maybe this will help lift her up like shes been doing for me

Challenge 60: Review. I guess this is somewhat easy to track down and do for me as I don't have that many challenges.

The first one I did was challenge n°54: Open Challenge, where I drew a small poster for myself, I think that was my favorite one of the one I did, maybe just because of the amount of time I spent on it, irocally more than one week. I did that drawing and a few others since. ( Now I need a challenge that will get my writing again...)

Didn't do challenge 55 ( Strong Determination Sitting), but would like to before the year ends although it will probably be very hard for me.

Challenge 56 - Pooh Pathology test, was a easy one, which is nice too, althouh the results where a bit depressing (and accurate).

Challenge 57 Food transformation: I wanted to do but didn't, guess lack of time and motivation, I still want to make my multigrain bread, I am new on vacation so I might.

Challenge 58: Watch Now not Later - Simple but hard ironically I set myself to watch more videos than I could, so I sort of failed, there are still two tabs open on my browser for that one.

Challenge 59 - Give someone a lift. - Really hard for me, as I am a loner, I isolate myself from other people, I tried to do it in small ways but idk, if I had any success.

And that is it. This year has been very hard for me and I am not entirely sure what I am going to do, I gave myself a bit of a deadline on figuring things out...

Any way, I would like to thank everyone here for the support, and feedbacks, this is a really nice communtiy

Challege 61: The GCHQ Christmas challenge

I thought for Christmas maybe we could try a collaborative effort at some puzzles. They get progressively harder and I have already solved the first 3 but we could try and work through them all together

Here are the puzzles, they are very UK centric I think


I iwll give a hint for the first one, the fist part of the word is "buck"
