What Are You Doing Right Now? (195 Viewers)

Yeah. Such a weird story. He was one of those people who puts their head down and goes to work, giving cheer and a smile to everyone he knew.

Still, talk about a bizarre way to go. Instead of flying back to Liverpool training, lung surgery grounded him to driving and taking a ferry back So he drives his Lambo Huracán with his brother at midnight on A-52... presumably doing 200km/h or more, though without real evidence.

I don't know that freeway myself, but I've been told that people in Spain used to be able to drive that stretch safely at 200km/h. But not anymore. Then a tire blowout from a pothole while passing another vehicle and an explosive fireball? That's messed up.

Whether or not the guy may have been taking some driving risk with his brother at that hour, after his marriage and the season he had, it shouldn't have ended like that.

It’s definitely a tragic and shocking story, but I don’t find it bizarre. Statistically speaking, Driving is by far the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis

I agree. But Jota doesn't come off as a showboat or the cocky daredevil type by any stretch of the imagination. He could have lived a secret life, but we would have known by now ... even if he owned a Huracán.

And it's one thing to say car accidents are more likely than to actually die in a fiery crash like that. Though Antonio Reyes died under similar circumstances six years ago.

I know this is a way to make history more approachable for younger people.

But damn if it doesn't it feel like it cheapens the entire enterprise by turning it into a video advert for a board game of emperor baseball trading cards and their stats.

The graphics. The number citations. The swiping sounds.

And I know I can say this to you because you read long texts like a mofo.

Yeah, I totally get what you mean.

The attention span seems long gone. I have a co-worker who's 7-8 years younger than me. He literally stopped watching movies and not because they are bad nowadays, but because he can't watch anything for 2.5h. He moved to tv series but since recently he can't even watch 45min - 1h long episodes. All the joy he finds the reels and 10-30 seconds content. Unfortunately, he's not the only one that I know. Totally crazy. I'm pretty sure that's being applicable everywhere too, even with human connection. There is no patience and commitment. Just instant blasts of nonsense.

Btw, props on the Serbia count though.

When I see history framed like a video game like this, it makes me sad. It's really twelve steps down towards Idiocracy.

Wow. Man, that co-worker would love those autism videos (Stanley Steemer) we were just talking about here. Zero patience, zero attention span, zero interest in the thinnest frictions to develop yourself.

I'm actually quite shocked that podcasts and video podcasts are as popular as they are, because I find them long AF compared to reading the same.
