Bundled Tutoring

Any of the above services can be bundled for a $10 discount off each hour. For example, bundling two sessions of Debate Analysis would be $140 total, rather than $160 total at $80/hr.

Debate Coaching $60/hr

Participate in a structured course consisting of five one-hour modules, covering critical thinking, debate strategy, propositional logic, and more. Throughout the course you will receive both personalized and generalizable advice on how to improve your debate performance.

Debate Analysis $80/hr

Participate in focused one-hour sessions wherein your own recorded debates are analyzed for constructive feedback and advice to help you improve as a debater. You may also participate in mock debates, staged debates, and other exercises to help you get more comfortable with debate and verbal confrontation.

Nutrition Science $40/hr

Participate in a one-hour Q&A session specifically to inquire about nutrition science. Ask questions about research design, methodology, epistemology, and study interpretation. Also, by participating you will also gain access to nutrition science interpretation cheat-sheets that will streamline and simply the research appraisal process.

Custom NixOS Builds $40/hr

NixOS has become popular in my community, with many people choosing to explore it over Windows, MacOS, and other Linux distributions. Naturally, as a consequence of this, I receive numerous requests for help regarding the Nix programming language and NixOS system configuration. So, to fast-track newcomers and to make my life a little bit easier for both of us, I'm offering to build custom NixOS configurations for interested clients.

Platforms

MASTODON

Microblogging will now be posted to my own self-hosted Mastodon instance. I've kinda grown tired of microblogging on X, where political correctness and unclear ban policies force me to constantly self-censor. I considered and ultimately rejected several alternative platforms. Eventually, I realized the solution to this problem is to simply self-host my own space―somewhere where I can be myself and speak as I please. And I recently obtained the necessary infrastructure to do this.

This instance is 100% mine, and I can't be censored or fucked with there. I invite everyone who values my content and interactions to follow me on this new platform (whether you agree with my views or not). My instance is a "single-user" instances, meaning I'm the only user. But you can still follow me! Just make an account on another instance, like Mastodon.social (alternatively, you can select whatever instance you wish from the official index), follow me, and turn on notifications.

Recommended Clients: Moshidon (android), Official (android), Tusky (android), or Official (iOS)

PEERTUBE

Im transitioning my video content from YouTube to my self-hosted PeerTube instance, because I strongly believe in freedom of speech, copyleft, and digital autonomy. YouTube has proven unreliable due to both censorship and copyright strikes levied against my channel. This shift allows me to better control my content and avoid these silly pitfalls.

Full-length videos are now exclusively available on PeerTube, while YouTube will only host clips. By registering on PeerTube and subscribing to my channels, youll have access to all content. Just be sure to enable email notifications to be alerted of new uploads. I believe that those who are truly fans of my work and want the best experience possible will see this as a positive change.

Recommended Clients: Unfortunately, I can't recommend any mobile clients for PeerTube at this time. They're all trash. Please use your browser, either on your mobile device or personal computer. Just be use to enable email notifications in your account settings.

DISCORD

The Nutrivore Discord server is an evidence-based community dedicated to debunking pseudoscience, especially in the fields of nutrition, health and fitness. Casual discourse is welcome, and includes topics such as cooking, gaming, technology, and more. Current members span many disciplines and include both students and professionals, all levels of interest and expertise are welcome.

The Discord server is not explicitly a debate server. However, we strongly encourage that disagreements be resolved using debate (preferably verbal), as long as it is conducted respectfully and in good faith. Though we also firmly believe that shaming sophistry and bad faith behaviour is a net good overall. The Discord server is planned to be replaced with a Matrix server in future.

Recommended Clients: Vencord (desktop) and Official (multi-platform)

Support

LIBERAPAY Fee: 0%

A free and open source recurring donation platform focused on privacy and transparency. It allows supporters to set up weekly donations to creators and projects. It is my preferred patronage option, as creators are not charged any fees for transacting on their platform.

PATREON Fee: 5%

A membership platform that allows creators to receive ongoing financial support from patrons in exchange for exclusive content and perks. It provides tools for managing patron relationships but takes a cut of earnings.

PAYPAL Fee: 1%

A widely-used digital payment service that enables easy one-time or recurring donations. It offers buyer and seller protections but takes a percentage fee on transactions. It is not among my most preferred payment platforms, but I understand that it is familiar and favoured by many.

KO-FI Fee: 5%

A creator-friendly platform for receiving one-time and monthly donations, with an emphasis on simplicity and low fees. It allows creators to offer digital downloads and commissions to supporters. One of my least preferred options, as the fees can be high.

CARDANO Fee: 0.17 ADA

A blockchain platform that enables peer-to-peer donations using its native cryptocurrency ADA. It offers fast and low-cost transactions but requires users to be familiar with cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges. Not my first choice, but if you prefer crypto this is what I take.
