There is a corner of "Travel YouTube" where there is no voiceover, just subtitles, and the occasional voices from servers and food/lodging hosts… and it's delightful. I notice my breathing and heart-rate slowing.
I contrast this with how I watch 'normal' videos. I have decided I need to watch more of these more often.
It was always fucking terrible. Always problematic. This isn’t a ‘modern lens’ thing. This is asshole white edgelords trying to be ‘cute’. Fuck those guys.
About 5 mins into the show, they put the #AIDS crisis front and centre. It was such a horrible time. It was the No. 1 killer of people 25-44 throughout the 90s. AZT came out in the late 80s, but it was expensive, had horrible side-effects, and lacked efficacy our modern HIV medications have.
It's interesting to see other aspects of 1990 through the lens of 2024
