    🎉 I'm so excited to be back on RUclips! If you are interested in my novel, it is available for FREE on Kindle Unlimited amzn.to/3ImxNiF
    Reading it would mean the world to me, and if you could leave a review, I'd be incredibly grateful.

    Welcome back Derek, you've been missed dearly! So glad you're back and doing better now, wishing you nothing but good health and wellbeing! I majored software engineering and IT with your incredible content many years ago, and I'm now well rooted in the industry. Not only that, but I also learned crochet, chess, some great vegan recipes, personality typing, statistics... Now even writing a novel! I'm forever grateful for everything you do and put out there.

    I use to put java tutorials on during my college years. (8+ years ago) Those were some stressful times for me. I was always strap for cash, always spending time at the library cause I don’t have money for books , constantly moving and sleep deprived cause of my night shift job. I stumbled upon the story telling video and hear your voice which took me back a decade. It might not mean much but I appreciate the videos. it got me through some rough times

    Glad to see youre back to your chipper self. I have a feeling youve been out of the loop as far as the latest achievements in ChatGPT as well as other AI assistants and what they can do. They can write stories for you, they can program, they can be a private tutor and talk to you in real time. This really changes how people learn and how people create stuff. So I hope to see you do content on how to use ChatGPT or its competitors.

    Any chance you could go and teach the BBC how to write a decent story. Seems Chris Chibnall and Russel T Davis have completely forgotten how to. Their current methodology is... Antagonize the viewer, force your opinions down everyone's throat. Keep pushing your opinions down everyone's throat till there is no resemblance of a plot. Sit back, look smug, then be abusive towards your audience because they didn't appreciate your ham fisted attempt to push your marginal point of view down their throat. All while ignoring any kind of real story, but we did lecture at you and you should be grateful for that.

      @@derekbanasDoctor Who has gotten so woefully bad, to the point of after 50+ years of watching I have recently stopped watching it. It has just become a podium for the BBC to preach their woke agenda. I hung in there for years, waiting for RTD to come back and fix a cannon Chibnall broke, but RTD he has gone so far off the rails himself that the show is just a lecture on why any kind of morality no longer matters and you should be OK with that. I called it quits after the first of their so called 60th anniversary "specials". I haven't seen Utopia, but I have heard good things about it.

      I started watching Doctor Who during the reboot and both my wife and I liked it. I loved the first 3, but then I wasn't a huge fan of Jenna Coleman, and I started missing episodes. When Matt Smith left, we completely gave up. You touched on something that I agree with 100%. The Woke ideas that I also disagree with is the teaching that children are always right, and they should disagree their parents. There is a mean spiritedness in the content. It reminds me of the eighties propaganda that focused on 'It's you against the world, so distrust and even destroy anyone that gets in your way." I can't really put my finger on it, but as you said there is definitely a lack of morality in it. I grew up in the farming world, where everyone was there for each other. Neighbors all knew each other and traded and just donated to help keep each other alive. Where I live most people won't even talk with each other, aside from the older people. I'm mainly only friends with people who are older than myself. I could go off on this forever, but I'll leave it there.
