Unwinding after a day

Today was somewhat a prolific day, so I’m now unwinding.

Yesterday I received an email asking me why I quit YouTubing, and I quit YouTube because they don’t pay anything.

YouTube isn’t that glamorous as people think.

When I started creating content I started from text, and now I will finish with text. For me, YouTube was a mistake.

No more

I’m not doing that damn AI work. Screw it. Will be writing my blog.

I wanted to write definitions for my website, but whatever. I will leave those which I created and won’t create new.

Just because it’s too much work, if people want definitions the can go to Oxford dictionary. Why do the same work – twice? Right?

“A.F.” is an abbreviation that can mean different things depending on context:

It is used to label years in the Gregorian calendar system:

  • Example: A.D. 2026 = the year 2026 in the modern calendar system

Key points:

  • Refers to years after the traditional birth of Jesus Christ
  • Used in the Gregorian/Julian calendar dating system

In short, A.D. is a calendar label meaning years after the start of the traditional Christian era.

  • Anno Christi (less common / historical usage)
    • Latin-based dating meaning “in the year of Christ,” similar to A.D.
  • After Christ (rare, informal/incorrect usage)
    • Sometimes mistakenly used instead of A.D.

In short, A.C. most commonly means “air conditioning” or “alternating current,” depending on the context.
