The Ex- Med-Student's notebook

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

Sir Walter Elliot.

When I read Persuasion for the first time I hated it. I was 17 and I thought Anne was old and boring (I've said it before, I was very much Marianne). The rediscovered love plot was beyond me. But I loved Sir Walter right away. The first chapter was excellent.

Even now, as an adult who does love Persuasion and now understands the plot, I still love Sir Walter. He's so funny! He counted 86 plain women, who counts 86 of anything?!?! He has six mirrors in his room. He only remembers he has daughters when he's worried about them needing hats. He only reads one book and it's basically his family tree! I just love him.

And it helps that he's not explicitly mean to Anne. I actually dislike Mr. Bennet more for that reason, he openly mocks his daughters and wife. Sir Walter just ignores them. I mean I guess that's still bad but I doubt Anne wants to talk to him anyway...

I wish there was more Sir Walter. I wish he monologued for a whole chapter. He is my favourite comic antagonist in Austen and the 86 plain women scene is my favourite comic part of Austen. Modest Sir Walter!

Sir Walter/Lady Bertram - this pairing would be totally fine in my opinion, she just wants to lie around looking pretty, he wants to walk around looking pretty and judging ugliness, similar lifestyles despite the different in activity levels. However, Lady Bertram would also not do anything to curtail Sir Walter's spending and she'd probably spend a lot herself (we do know she loves being elegantly dressed)

Sir Walter/Mrs. Dashwood - she also doesn't understand money very well, this is a theme, who else can save Sir Walter from debt for 16 years? Anyway, I think this relationship would quickly sour. Mrs. Dashwood is a Romantic, while Sir Walter is just vain. They would not understand each other.

Sir Walter/Mrs. Morland - I feel like she'd be similar to Lady Elliot, practical but not super happy in the marriage.

Lol, Sir Walter/Lady Susan Vernon - so much debt and so very fast, she'd have him wrapped around her finger but for evil

Okay, fun pairing: Mrs. Jennings and Sir Walter. Position this after Lady Elliot dies, she'd be an awesome stepmom to the girls, even though Elizabeth would HATE her, she would probably bring in money from trade, and she's silly enough that Sir Walter wouldn't bother her I think. They could get on if he could overlook that she's from trade (he wouldn't, but on a personality level I think it would work) (okay it's a bit mean to Mrs. Jennings she deserves better) (But I think she'd just laugh her way through it)

Clearly the answer here is to do Emma's dad.

Dont ask me how they meet since Mr. Woodhouse never leaves his house and Sir Walter would never willingly visit but this would be a disaster of a marriage.

Anne, Elizabeth, Mary and Emma would now be prohibited from doing twice as many things. (Dont do that you'll ruin your complexion. Dont do that you’ll ruin your health.)

Don't threaten to do it, go research it, and actually give it a go!!! Most of the books for old crafts are out of copyright. Even if you don't get a job at whatever you try, or hell, even of you don't become in any way good at it, just learning and trying something new is good for you, and it gives you a greater understanding and appreciation for things.
