"Sounds like neither of you watched the video. "

That's. The. Point. I neither watch videos nor read articles that suggest having boiled down a more or less complex topic to 'the real reason (singular)'. Maybe it's bad wording, maybe it's on purpose. I'll never know.

If a video title or headline claims that there is one single reason for xyz then most of the time it's clickbait.

Got rid of (most) social media. Even only reading about its toxicity makes me uncomfortable.

Why is it "hardly an answer"?

Getting everything you want at any time is part of the reason why the planet's dying. Consumerism is not sustainable. Just one example: one wants a coffee and isn't at home. Solution today: get a single-use plasticcy paper cup of coffee with an optional packaged portion of sweetener and / or cream, a plastic stirring thingy, and a plastic lid. All that goes to waste because people were led to believe that a "paper" cup is good for the environment. It isn't.

Sorry, it's aggravating to see people complain about bottle lids and not seeing what the bigger problem behind is.

We created this mess and now the least bad thing in this literal pile of garbage gets labelled 'mildly infuriating'.

You're coming up with a sarcastic exaggeration (barrels and glasses), followed by "serious question". So which is it now?

Anyway. How about refillable cups, travel mugs, returnable bottles? Stop buying bottled water if your tap water is fine. Get a soda maker if you like sparkling water or Spritzer. Clean up after yourselves, return or throw away bottles with the lid on.

And first and foremost: stop buying packaged and bottled sh*t at every possible occasion. Things like single-use / to-go cups or bottles shouldn't even exist.

We all created the landfills and ocean garbage patches and now we complain about our own stupidity, unable to drink from a bottle with a lid attached to it like we're toddlers.

If you seriously ask me for an alternative: stop creating waste. Stop complaining about your waste. And stop complaining about regulations that try to limit waste that shouldn't even be there. Big part of the problem stems from our own laziness and consumerism. Everyone is part of the problem, nobody wants to be a part of the solution. What did you even expect?

If everyone had either stopped buying bottled beverages or cleaned up after themselves, this wouldn't be an issue.

Also, y'all sound a little whiny. This isn't even a first world problem.

BOTW is a beautiful game. But the complex controls and the fact that all weapons simply break would have had me sinking hours over hours into the game.

You *have * to try Blood and Wine. Simply put, it makes up for everything before it. The bright, warm, Southern France -inspired map, great quests, and finally a homestead.

Try Witcher with some QoL mods, like easier fast travel, auto harvesting, auto-applying of oils. Everything that lets you play the game instead of plucking flowers all day.

They compare platforms from time to time, mostly indirectly. Android gets a mention concerning OS version fragmentation.

That's it, for Apple the mere mention is already too much. Why would anyone want compatibility if they also just could buy an Apple product?

Also the reason why ipads and Vision don't support multiple users: not only should you buy an Apple product, but so do your partner, parents, kids, etc.

Haven't seen a video of any of these, did I really miss out?
