Using OSINT and geolocation methods, I figure out where people's videos were recorded (when they ask me to do that)

It's back to school time! That means it's time for a reminder about how to be safe when posting photos of your kids on the first day of school. #PSA #backtoschool

By Redfin's fairly broad definition in the official rules, I believe that I would be considered a "Professional Geo-Location Analyst" and therefore not eligible to participate - or help others!

Just fyi, if you buy Chad nuggets, he frequently sends a thank you video in return. He just recorded this one for our buddy James who likes to make sure your boy Chad doesn’t go hungry.

My YouTube Year in Review is convinced I’m a world traveler because I’m watch a lot of city walkthroughs, travel vlogs, etc. More often than not, I’m trying to learn to pronounce a city name or trying to verify what a location oooks like 😝 I felt that this award seemed appropriate, though!
And “award” for being “Most likely to find the coolest hidden travel spot and share it with everyone”

Is it just me, or does Strands sound as if it’s being a bit insincere - sarcastic even? - with its opening remarks? 😅 “Fine, play another game. See if I care. Would it kill you to call your mother once in a while?”

In an upcoming video, and I talk about Lowe's and Home Depot being competitors. I was playing around w/different silly visuals to put on-screen for that part, and I got the crazy idea to make a Clash Royale style battle screen. I decided not to use it for the video, but here it is 😝

Guess who’s verified on TikTok? Not me! 😫 I have requested verification eight (!) times over the last couple years, and I’ve seen the rejection message every time. So I decided to make it into a t-shirt 🤷‍♂️

Once again, my appeal for the incorrectly flagged content was approved, but with this bullshit message that indicates that maybe the content is still somehow restricted to certain groups? 🤷‍♂️ So stupid. Hardly matters now - this video is dead in the water thanks to this.

Ugh. TikTok’s broke-ass algorithm is suppressing my video again today. The robots have imagined use of adult substances in my video 🤦‍♂️ Great job, robots.

Lots of people don't watch all the way until the end of my videos, and that means they're missing out on the occasional "post-credits scene" 😝 How many of you caught me and Chad on-screen together in yesterday's video?

Someone asked me if i knew anything about some sort of easter eggs in Google Street View related to hidden water melons. I had never heard of this, so I tried searching "google maps watermelon." The AI answer doth protest too much, methinks 😂 I didn't even mention the phrase "easter egg," Google!

If the quickness of the spread of the phrase "to crash out" has taught me anything, it's that Gretchen Wieners was just born at the wrong time. If she were in high school now, she TOTALLY could make "fetch" happen.

Ok, appeal approved - but once again it gives this bullshit message about how it’s still restricted somehow (for nonexistent substance content). Also, I’ll never get those first couple hours back, so it won’t do well on the fyp. So stupid.

Once again, Google Earth Studio is hosing up my workflow. My 10 sec clip has been stuck in the cloud render queue for nearly 4.5 hours. This clip will take under 60 sec to render! If I had the option to render locally, I'd gladly take it. It could hardly be slower, even on my under-powered Mac Mini!

WTF TikTok? My latest video is being suppressed again for alleged mentions of adult “substances” - which is totally untrue. I’m beginning to think you’re not allowed to mention Gillingham 🤪 because the last video that did also got falsely flagged 😡

josemonkey @josemonkey.com · 01/04/2025
WTF Google Earth Studio?! I have already adjusted my workflow to build in extra time, assuming that my renders (which take under a minute) will sit in the queue for an unreasonably long period, but this is getting ridiculous.

I appealed and, fortunately, they fixed it. Sort of. Now it is “available to audiences who may be comfortable with mild depictions of Substances.” Still wrong. Total bullshit. Lost hours of availability already. Ugh 😣

I swear, the YouTube AI-generated comment suggestions creep me out. Here's an example of one from today's video. The suggested reply to a viewer's comment about tools clearly demonstrates that both the content of their comment and my video were considered in trying to predict a reasonable reply.

All of my renders are roughly the same content - 10 second clips - with the only real variation being the level of detail of the Google 3D model in that area, which can of course cause the renders to take (a little) longer. But here are some render times from a couple months ago - all around 1 min:

Some days, I feel like “Things you would find at a yard sale” works as a near catch-all category in Connections. Alternatively, “Items I have in my inventory in the adventure game I am stuck in” works, too.
