    Not sure why, but I did watch through this without even blinking. Maybe it is a really good ad against gambling. Also, sad that guy got into a spiral due to some people liking to watch people destroy themselves. He has great parents and a good brother. He deserves much more than this.

    Also, this vid is incredible and I couldn’t stop watching. Maybe long content is really that good, or maybe my attention span is in a good shape (for something interesting. I am easily bored if it is not interesting to me)

    Every time someone sends me a link to a Technology Connections video, I open it and think “Yeah right, I’m not watching an hour long video about humidifiers! I am curious about his conclusion so I’ll skip to the end.” Then, suddenly, it’s an hour later.

    Also someone sent me a two hour long video on exploiting goomba behavior in Super Mario 64 for glitches, and for some reason I watched that whole thing. Why?!

    Well now that depends. If it’s 10 minutes of jokes then sure. But if it’s a 10 minute lead-up to one punchline, yeah sorry, I’m in my 50’s I’m not wasting what precious few minutes I have left on that.

    It helps not having your attention span utterly obliterated by shorts and reels

    I was at an event where we were told that some locally famous guy would tell us a story about when he discovered a murder scene.

    When the event came around, it turned out that the guy wasn’t going to show up, but what they had prepared was a voice recording of the story. Also, the story was 40 minutes long. 40 minutes at an event with everyone in silence - no chit chat during the story.

    I mean, it was a good story, but it seemed like a lot of wasted time for an event where we could have gotten to know eachother better.

    I have a friend that constantly wants me to watch his stream right quick to show me some memes that are unfunny. While I’m in the middle of a boss fight in a video game.

    Just send me the link and I’ll watch when I have time.
