    Not “würde”. “Eine Tasse Kaffee, bitte” would be the default. Maybe “ich hätte gerne eine Tasse Kaffee” (Note the default unit for the item Kaffee are different, as is the expected container… well, depending on the establishment.)

    I just found this which seems like a reasonable explanation of the differences between the three. I'm excited that I get to practice this all in 2 weeks when I'm in Düsseldorf! https://german.stackexchange.com/questions/22566/difference-between-ich-m%C3%B6chte-and-ich-h%C3%A4tte-gerne-and-ich-w%C3%BCrde-gerne

    “Ich helfe Ihnen gerne” or “ich kann Ihnen gerne helfen” is what I would expect. Although help is generally less generously offered :-) but that has less to do with grammar.
    Aaron Parecki
    okay how about ordering at a coffee shop... I was always taught "Ich würde gern einen Kaffee" rather than "Ich möchte einen Kaffee". Same idea right?

    The German is just like the English: “ich würde gerne mal diesen Berg besteigen” — “I’d love to climb this mountain some day” — lots of assumptions implied, and it may never happen. I’d like tech support be a bit more certain that they want to help.
    Aaron Parecki
    But isn't it also the same as:

    "Ich würde gern Ihnen helfen"
    vs
    "Ich will dir helfen"

    Or does being so direct in German sound less abrasive than in English?

    Tech support: "I'd be glad to assist you." You would if what? So this is kind of a conditional tech support line here, but you won't tell me what that depends on? What's wrong with present tense? (Or, better, drop the fluff and give everybody their life back?)
    Aaron Parecki
    Doesn't German do that too? "Ich würde gern..."

    Similarly, "I want to help you" sounds weirdly aggressive compared to "I would like to help you"

    Trump’s site Truth Social broke software rules, says copyleft group

    Aaron Parecki
    "broke software rules" is a pretty weak headline when it could have been something with much more teeth 😅😭

    Oh no, I didn’t realize my website has a lack of theme based content promotion castling web benefits.

    I just got this exact email and your tweet was the first google result for that castling phrase 😅

    I've had one since they released and I dont know that I've opened it up in about 2 years 😅
    Aaron Parecki
    I also haven't used mine all that much, but I will say the times I have used it I definitely would not have been able to rig up any other green screen.

    I made a video about how much I like the GoPro 10 and it taught me that people really LOVE to hate GoPros. 😬

    (Whether or not their opinions are based in reality)
    Aaron Parecki
    I both love and hate the GoPro 10

    Haha what does that tell you about people :D Does this mean people click on your referral link to get to the Amazon product page (of whatever you're referring) but then they just wander off to buy something else, right?
    Aaron Parecki
    Yep exactly 💯

    Interesting! That makes sense. Do you get to know which products were sold with your affiliate code? This way you could check if this is the case or not.
    Aaron Parecki
    On Amazon yes. What's interesting tho is how many unrelated products people buy when there's also a big launch. It's not just a bump in referrals on the new product!

    Fellow YouTubers, have you noticed your affiliate sales trending downwards for the last several months? Trying to figure out if it's a widespread trend or something broken on my end. Thanks! 🤓🙏
    Aaron Parecki
    Yes, but mine tends to correlate with product launches and there have been fewer in my niche the last few months so I'm not surprised.

    Thoughts on Best VPN and why?
    Aaron Parecki
    The best VPN is the one I run from my house 😊

    But for real it totally depends on what your goal of using the VPN is. I use it to access my studio gear remotely, and when I'm on sketchy public WiFi

    @aaronpk hey, is there a spec for the format of an Okta client secret? A customer wants to know how to store them. Are they guaranteed 40 characters of alphanumeric ASCII?

    Aaron Parecki
    There is actually! It's between 10-100 chars
