This is super frustrating. For the last 3 weeks, I have not been able to log into my Gmail account. It has a backup Gmail account and a phone number associated with it. Whenever I do account recovery, it looks promising and sends the authentication to Gmail, where I choose yes, feed the number in, then it wants to send a text to my phone, but says too many attempts. I let it sit for a week, tried again; same outcome. Seriously, what is going on?

The worst part is that I have Youtube Premium tied to this account, so I am paying for a service I cannot use.

I'm an old school CX debater who ended my collegiate career in the late 90s. Towards the end, laptops began to show up within the debates to give context. I have a lot of friends who are still engaged in debate at the coaching or director level at Universities and High Schools.

I recently heard that debaters no longer flow the debate, that is, take notes during the debate using a system of columns and shorthand. Also, arguments are sent via email before they are made in a speech.

My question is, are you taking notes? Does it matter what is said in the speech or just in the argument block that is emailed? What happens if an adlib argument is made that is not in the emailed block? Is this the same across all forms of debate, LD, Policy, and Parli?

I watched an NDT final on YouTube, and it appears to be the same as when I was involved. Same arguments (Ks, CPs, DA,s, T), same speed, etc. I am just having trouble wrapping my mind around how debaters keep track of the argumentation without the flow.

Thanks for any insights.
