It reads as parody so much that I was actually kind of enjoying it. I mean the scene with the Teslas crashing, Havana Syndrome, "Death to America, I remember it from the videogame", the 13 year old girl quoting West Wing, all the nonsense pontificating about random bullshit like Friends, the camera zooming and twisting for no discernible reason, I thought I was picking up on some deep contempt for lib neurosis and vapidness and it got a laugh out of me a couple of times. Pausing it to check out who made it was a mistake, soured the rest of the thing. It might have been ruined by the runtime anyway so no big loss.
got the Samsung buds pro 2 at half price recently and I kind of like them, but they were a bit underwhelming even at that price. I've never spent a lot on audio in general, so they were actually a big improvement, but there was no "wow" factor or anything. Plus having to install bloatware that asks for all permissions under the sun sucks (why the fuck would a settings menu want to know my location???).
I do think you underestimate how nice the noise cancelation can be though. I moved to a big city and my hick ass cannot deal with all the fucking noise. Plus I'm clumsy and end up getting wires caught on everything, which means wire stuff also becomes e-waste fairly quickly.
