My 7 year old would be offended at the mere suggestionWhy is Jade wearing a shoes and socks combo not seen since the age of 7
Lmao sure she's read a book every 1.5 days while managing a Youtube channel and being a full time master's student.Ruby is claiming to have already read 27 books this year (on Storygraph).
EDIT: Just checked out the Ruby/Jade content and yikes… what is this caption.
She might have skimed the physical copy of these 27 books, persuading herself that it was enough as far as reading goes. Bonus point, her signature trademark, consists of including books and texts read for uni that'll plump up the final amount. She's so so smart, Oxford smart.Lmao sure she's read a book every 1.5 days while managing a Youtube channel and being a full time master's student.
Quite the contrary but okay, maybe in that elevator. Seriously though they’re both dumb just in slightly different ways.Ruby is claiming to have already read 27 books this year (on Storygraph).

There's a youtuber, The Lady in the Library, I think she calls herself, who talks about doing her PhD. I was initially a bit turned off because she talks in a very pretentious manner, but then she's done some brilliant videos about not being the smart kid at school and going into academia (like, her even going to university was apparently a surprise), and mistakes she's made during the process of her PhD so far. She's like the really honest version of Ruby.Personally I think StudyTube will rapidly go down the drains and completely fizzle out. We see the same happen to other YouTube categories. Take the so-called Beauty Gurus. The original crew has long since stopped making them. They got on with their various careers, married, have families now. But there are a few that can't quite let go and it is pretty cringe watching someone like Tiffany D, well into her thirties if not nearing 40, or Tarababyz, constantly hauling things because their lives are so empty and they need to feel that immediate satisfaction of buying something new, that passes within the day. While decluttering your makeup collection was a thing before Covid, not being able to go out in public or have to wear a mask really kicked that movement into full gear and almost everyone got a reality check. Now they have either left YT or found another odd obsession to vlog about. The Kawaii movement started to get big a long while back, but walking around in little girl clothes when you are in your late 20's was also cringe, so unless you live in Asia and do it as an actual career, it is shortlived. I don't think the US ever really got into studytube. It seems to be mostly a UK phenomenon that we watch from the sidelines, but overall have no interest in mimicking. Who knows what the next "aesthetic" or "trend" will be, but I am sure Ruby will try to hop on it, fail and like many other YTbers, will find herself lost in the real adult world with very little to show for it.
Haha, not sure. I would have thought the women in it who really enjoyed the likes of Cheltenham would be more like Ruby.The chapter about pashes is about girls similar to Ruby, isn't it?
I think it depends on how they transition and if their work is actually interesting. For example, Ali AbdaalI guess depends on the job but I am not sure most study YouTubers would be able to keep their views if they started vlogging about working .. who knows
Oh to read the sonnet Ruby might have written about this Jade's set of humongous teeth.Haha, not sure. I would have thought the women in it who really enjoyed the likes of Cheltenham would be more like Ruby.
I'd bet a VARRY VEEGAN CROISSANT that Patricia works at the restaurant and either reached out to Ruby to offer a gifted meal or, being the leeches that they are, Ruby and Jade looked at places to have lunch that week and reached out to the restaurant to beg for a gifted meal in exchange for advertising the place (hence the suspicious mention of emailing the management the day before).I watched the vlog, who is the idiot Patricia who gifted them afternoon vegan tea? As if they need this coming from affluent backgrounds.
It must be her VOCAB WARRD of the week, I’m a few minutes into the video and as far as I can tell (her accent is the worst it’s been in ages, I can’t stand it), she’s used it twice. In Ruby-speak, ”granular” just means ”I googled something I had no idea about and wrote down random facts about it in my commonplace book for ten minutes before the schedule said it was time to move to a different café because not enough people had seen me be studious and literary yet that morning.”Granular research? wtf?
have u read the "schuld und sühne" or the "verbrechen und strafe" translation. Just interested. Imho the verbrechen und strafe one is the better translation, it starts with the title which is a far more fitting translation, but kind of a move to rename such an important book....Honestly I´m glad she for once seems to be honest about her reading speed, not like with the Brothers Karamazov (I still shudder remembering the whole pronouncition debacle lmao)It took me quite a while to finish reading Crime and Punishment, even though it´s by far one of my favourite books of all time and I read a lot of classic literature in general. How fast you read something can indicate how much you like it, but not necessarily in every case. Also calling Crime and Punishment an below average size novel sounds a bit arrogant to me tbh In my german translation it has roughly 750 pages of rather small print (The Brothers Karamazov has around 1.050 pages) and to be fair reading it is vastly different to let´s say a YA novel with the same or a higher page number.

Read it! I loved it, it´s a great book
How did Jade manage to dress up even worst than her "friend"? Is that some parody of Ruby?Ruby is claiming to have already read 27 books this year (on Storygraph).

OT: I read the "Schuld und Sühne" translation by Josef Hoffmann and liked it, but I have other Dostojewski books in translations by Svetlana Geier, as far as I am aware she translates the title as "Verbrechen und Strafe". It´s the same case with "Die Dämonen"/"Böse Geister"/"Die Bessessenen", same book, different translation of the title. I don´t speak Russian and I´m not an expert in any way, but apparently the original russian can´t be translated exactly into German in those cases. In the case of "Schuld und Sühne" the title is way too morally connotated, whilst the original russian title uses the legal terminology. "Verbrechen und Strafe" on the other hand, which is the german legal terminology, lacks a certain ethical weight which the russian terminology does contain. So I think there´s no right or wrong answer. I personally prefer the title "Schuld und Sühne". All in all a really fascinating topic imohave u read the "schuld und sühne" or the "verbrechen und strafe" translation. Just interested. Imho the verbrechen und strafe one is the better translation, it starts with the title which is a far more fitting translation, but kind of a move to rename such an important book....
