Websites & Channels I Use and/or Like (useful, informative, funny...)
Amazon.com. This is where I find and buy most of the things I own.
YouTube. Wow, what a revolution of knowledge and entertainment from before it existed. I have Premium and will never not. In my car, at home, at work: learning, entertained, or just wasting time.
Board Game Geek. The only site you need for board game information: reviews, ratings, categories, news, forums... It's a little overwhelming at first, but it's THE site for boardgamers who are ready to move well beyond Monopoly, and deeper than Setters of Catan.
Wikipedia. The link I put in is about how accurate it is: much more so than some teachers would give it credit for, especially when information is cited with links. Note: it's not as accurate about pop culture information as that stuff is often powered by gossip. Here's another link to how accurate it is in regards to academic material:

Tier zoo explains and evaluates animals from the perspective they're all builds in a video game server called game world called "the outside." Really clever, really informative, and really funny. I binged this site for a while. Props to whatever student introduced me to it (I honestly forgot who it was)
Just go to Tier Zoo on YouTube.
A fun website with a bunch of "would you rather question" with how many people choose each one displayed after you picked one, and commentary too. I like thinking of this stuff: favorites, hard-choice scenarios, etc...
Pitch Meeting w/Ryan George. Wow, so funny and smart. I love Honest Trailers, but this is better. Go watch Pitch Meeting. The ones on "Big Bang Theory" & "GoT Season 8" pretty much nail it for me, but many others do as well.
Cosmic Skeptic is a young British guy who is an atheist majoring in theology. He's pretty intense and very intelligent (the British accent helps with that). I have listened to YouTube videos of many skeptics, he might be my favorite overall?
This guy was raised really religious and then he found science and read and learned and read and now speaks out against religious nonsense. Really easy to digest and very interesting.
This is a seemingly good site on Near-Death Experiences. I have been interested in them for years. Stories of people who died and came back minutes later and had amazing stories to tell about what they experienced. What makes it most compelling to me is that it's so many people, from around the world, and the similarities in the stories. While I don't see any real empirical evidence of a God or an afterlife, this stuff has my attention. Still don't know what to make of it. More reading, searching.
