5
I think I know too much about people I don't personally know.
6
On top of that, I think I know too much about people who aren't even relevant to my sphere of interests.
7
This is definitely due to the ease of access of media on the internet.
8
Not to say a little tea isn't nice, nah I'm saying.
9
Sometimes a little cup of that "ooh you caught who lying about what?
10
Earl Grey tea is a nice treat on a random Thursday night." Personally, I'm a fan of gossip.
11
Hold up.
12
Wait a minute.
13
Hear me out!
14
Not necessarily speaking it, but I'm one who likes to gather anecdotal information from people.
15
I believe the negative part of gossip comes from blindly believing rumors and secondhand information.
16
Of course, it's easy to fall into that bias if it's the only source you have.
17
But when I open my doors to gossip, I feel like I get to play this mini -game of: What truths am I willing to let through these gates?
18
Who believes what?
19
Who told you these facts?
20
Appreciate it if you don't tell anyone about this That's starting to sound like.. manipulation!
21
Congratulations, you may have a pathological liar in the friend group!
22
"Wow, gossip !" Listen guys, I get it.
23
Many of us were raised not to talk behind someone's back, but from experience I've found
24
that strictly following this mindset without critical thinking tends to protect those who are actually guilty of the accusation.
25
Is it gossip if it's true?
26
Plus if it leads to talking in front of someone's back.. no that sounds weird.
27
If it leads to a confrontation and clarification of any misunderstandings, then isn't that a better outcome than lingering on suppressed thoughts and feelings?
28
That being said, this really only works in a personal setting with a network of people
29
that you actually know and can directly communicate with.
30
With social media becoming a staple in modern life,
31
it has become increasingly accessible for a completely faceless stranger to know about another stranger's personal life,
32
and in turn, potentially develop a parasocial relationship with them.
33
Take it from a guy who's made a career out of storytelling on the internet.
34
On one hand, it's fun to share stories as if we're gathered around a campfire.
35
On the other, it's a little weird to have this many people at a campfire.
36
I have the mindset to not overshare sensitive information that doesn't necessarily add value to the story.
37
Overall, social media has proven to be quite exhausting for me.
38
On the side of uploading personal content, I'm terrible at keeping my following, the majority of which are strangers, updated about the current events of my life.
39
Sure, I share stories about major events that I've experienced, but not the day -to -day stuff and recent things that I've been up to.
40
For example, after I had a really bad fall from bouldering a few years, years ago where I helicopter crash landed on my ankle, I got into playing volleyball.
41
And it's become a major hobby of mine these days.
42
And also for a bit, I was heavily invested in the Digimon TCG and even competed at nationals in 2023.
43
Maybe I'll make a video about those, I don't know yet.
44
My updates are so sparse that I'm usually assumed dead until further notice.
45
Immediately after hitting the upload button, I just cease to exist.
46
I have no object permanence, I am only in this realm in short bursts of time.
47
The thing is, if I were to put myself in the shoes of someone following me, I don't think I'd care too much about what I would be posting about.
48
Is that anxious thinking?
49
I just don't think my daily life is that interesting.
50
Sure, I have this platform, but I live a pretty mundane and uneventful life, for the most part.
51
I don't party, I love being at home, I'm extremely introverted, I just like keeping to myself.
52
And when I do go out and do things, I forget to take photos and videos because I'm just.. in the moment.
53
And I'm lazy.
54
From my understanding of human behavior, we post and publish things for some level of validation, even if it's the teensiest amount.
55
It makes sense.
56
When you share something with someone, you're leaving yourself open to some level of criticism.
57
the internet, we're able to present things in a manner that narrows possible critiques to mostly positive ones.
58
When people show and tell, they usually aim for some sort of praise or positive feedback.
59
They don't try to show and get shit on.
60
Usually.
61
Admittingly, that's kind of the basis of my whole channel.
62
For years, I've been sharing stories of my life with you guys.
63
Stories about relationships, experiences during public events, butts, working in retail, you name it.
64
And as genuine as I wanted those stories to be, I can't claim that they are all 100 % free of all bias.
65
They are all true, of course, but they were presented with my truth.
66
Social media has also been tiring as a consumer.
67
So many trends to keep up with endless memes in the palm of my hand for
68
that easy dopamine hit right before going to bed and contributing to my insomnia.
69
I catch wind of so much drama between parties that have absolutely nothing to do with me.
70
Why do I care if some guy cheated on a speedrun in a video game?
71
Why?
72
It does not affect my life in any way.
73
Why?
74
If it affects yours, That's fine!
75
You can care about it.
76
I'm just wondering why I do.
77
Why did I read that twit longer about person A talking about person B cheating with person C?
78
I'm not in that alphabet.
79
I'm so uninvolved I'm like person Gamma.
80
But then, why did I proceed to look up multiple YouTube videos to get the perspectives of drama channels
81
that report on it?
82
And then, I scroll down to the comments section to read the opinions of other people
83
that are as uninvolved as I am.
84
Would that even be a meaningful conversation?
85
Hey did you hear about blah blah blah saying racial slur for the seventh time blah blah?
86
No, I haven't because I don't watch or support this stranger.
87
So are you saying you don't care about racism?
88
You don't care about sexism?
89
Poverty?
90
War?
91
Climate change?
92
AI art?
93
Endangered animals?
94
Ableism?
95
My mother?
96
There's a term in Filipino, Tagalog.
97
Chismis.
98
It means gossip or rumors and it's the base word of chismosa, one who gossips.
99
Which is what we call all the aunties at the fam jams gathered in the kitchen
100
while the dads are in the backyard drinking and the kids are upstairs playing on the Nintendo 64.
101
Thank you.
102
I feel like I've become a tita chismosa.
103
Every time I go on Twitter or X or whatever, there's that little Pandora's box of trending topics and one is usually an anime spoiler, but sometimes it's someone's name.
104
Sometimes a name I'm not even familiar with.
105
So why do I click on them?
106
Because I'm a chismosa!
107
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep!
108
We're at an era of easily accessible knowledge where anyone can share anything and everything to everyone.
109
And while I believe in many cases that's a positive thing, like the ability to teach yourself almost any skill, learning about cultures you've never experienced,
110
looking up how to efficiently clean sticker residue, unhealthily indulging in.
111
I've been drinking too much chronically online tea, and I have a little tummy ache.
112
Hmm?
113
What's that?
114
Oh no, I simply mustn't.
115
It can be scary being on the internet.
116
It's not always so easy to keep your personal info from getting leaked by these data chismosas.
117
They can get your full name, phone number, home address, social security, and just handing it out like food samples.
118
This gets really scary when you start hearing stuff about data leaks from services that you use on a daily basis, which could lead to some troubling stuff like phishing emails,
119
stalking, and even identity theft.
120
Incogni is here to help take that burden away, saving you time, trying to deal with thousands of data brokers one by one and all by yourself.
121
Seriously, I've only been using this for like a week
122
and it saved me a day's worth of time with contacting each of these companies.
123
And if you happen to know of a specific website
124
that has your personal info and Incogni hasn't gotten to it yet, no problem.

這個影片適合誰？
如果你想通過看YouTube學英語，尤其是想練習日常口語表達和批判性思維，這個影片再合適不過了。它的對話風格輕鬆自然，話題貼近生活（比如 gossip、社交媒體），適合中高階學習者模仿。無論是想提高英語發音，還是學習如何用英語清晰表達觀點，都能從中找到實用內容。
值得“偷走”的單詞和習語
- tea：不是“茶”，而是“八卦”。比如影片裡的“a little cup of that 'ooh you caught who lying about what?'”就是在說“聽點別人撒謊的八卦”。
- parasocial relationship：“類社會關係”，指觀眾對媒體人物產生的單方面情感聯結。影片中提到陌生人通過社交媒體產生這種關係，很貼切現代生活。
- sparse：“稀少的”。比如“my updates are so sparse”就是“我的更新很少”。
如何練好發音？
影片 speaker 的發音清晰，語速適中，很適合英語影子跟讀。注意以下幾點：一是連讀，比如“on top of that”中的“on top”可以連讀成“on top”；二是語調，在表達觀點時（比如“hear me out!”），語調會升高以引起注意；三是弱讀，比如“of”“the”等虛詞通常會弱讀，讓句子更流暢。跟著影片反覆模仿，能有效提高英語發音的自然度。
想要練好影子跟讀，不妨試試“shadowspeaks”法：先聽一句，暫停，立刻重複，注意節奏和語調。堅持下去，你會發現自己的口語越來越地道！
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | I've been sharing · I've been drinking · I've only been using |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've found · has become · has proven |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | is sponsored · were raised · being said |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | people who aren · one who likes · those who are |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
