I tend to think of myself as someone who's nothing like a Determinator, so looking at that particular video made me feel inadequate.

That's something like it at my end-- we're definitely in PJ Eby territory of how different people hear advice.

About pep talks, mostly from people who hate them. It would probably be useful to get some counterbalancing detail from people who like them.
