1 hour video? Ain't nobody got time for that.

Summarized by AI (ugh):

The "Shipbreakers" YouTube video explores the issue of toxic ships being illegally exported to developing countries for breaking, with a focus on the notorious case of the Norwegian ship, the Tulip. Despite being on Greenpeace's most toxic list, the ship flies a bogus flag and its first-world owners deny responsibility. Marietta, a character in the video, expresses concern over the double standard of Western countries exporting their toxic waste while refusing to accept it in their own. The video also features Mittu, a shipbreaker who expresses his longing to travel but finds contentment in the present as he watches ships come to be broken down for survival. The scene is accompanied by upbeat singing, highlighting the contrasting emotions of destruction and contentment. The video also shows the dangerous and labor-intensive process of dismantling old ships for scrap, with workers risking accidents and injury to extract valuable resources from the obsolete vessels.

But did he have millions in his bank accounts or not? He had a damn butler and took a Russian ballet crew on a sailing trip!

If he went into the world "with no money," it was still his choice. At any point he could have said "you know what, fuck this, I'm coming back to my mansion." Not everyone has that luxury.

Come to think of it, growing up I remember thinking of certain scenes, like he goes to temples to meditate, "to find himself" or "fight his demons" or whatever, or joining fight club-style events with randos, again "to find himself" or for the fun of it, who knows - and even then I was thinking "damn, I guess it's good to have that much money to act like a clueless brat!"

The command line is the natural way of interacting with a computer.

N-natural?

Plus there are many, many, many, many use cases for a computer. Even the ones you don't even think about, like bird sighting.

Yes.

Oh sure, sure. My point is that Google asked for the same thing as MS, and I mindlessly gave it to them.

I'll look into degoogling at some point.

Why do you care what other co-workers see on your work laptop? It doesn't belong to you.

.....aaaand I will never switch to Windows 11.

But then, I'm a hypocrite, because I have to create an account to use Android.

Oh yikes.

I got out of crypto stuff long ago. But I was so paranoid with losing wallet keys that I'd put them everywhere in chunks, like a medieval quartered body spread all over Scotland.

Don't leave us hanging. How did it happen?

Whoops!

I don't know, man. If you dismiss someone for anything trivial, chances are you are judging their whole character to the point of not even dating them.

Here's a highly upvoted comment:

No passions or hobbies.

No, traveling isn’t a hobby.

It's really not too different from the high heels one.

Anyway. It is what it is.
