It says so much about Adam that he only has two frames of reference for anything - '80s movies and Disney. No curiosity about art and history and the amazing places he it travelling through, the people who lived there and the things they did. I'm not saying he needs to turn into an intellectual scholar, but there appears to be zero natural curiosity. Even when it comes to reading signs about what he is looking at (As @dirtnap101 often points out in his summaries)
A quick AI search on lack of curiosity in people gave me this, and boy does it sound like someone we know....
People with a lack of curiosity may display a reluctance to learn new things, a resistance to new ideas, and a tendency to focus on the past rather than the future. This can stem from various factors, including feeling like they already know everything, having an unchecked ego, or struggling with learning new things. It can also be influenced by lifestyle, upbringing, and even feelings of pain or insecurity.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

People with a lack of curiosity may display a reluctance to learn new things, a resistance to new ideas, and a tendency to focus on the past rather than the future. This can stem from various factors, including feeling like they already know everything, having an unchecked ego, or struggling with learning new things. It can also be influenced by lifestyle, upbringing, and even feelings of pain or insecurity.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Signs of a lack of curiosity:
- Resistance to new information:
A person might avoid learning new things or dismiss new ideas, even if presented with evidence.
- Focus on the past:
They may be stuck in their ways and resistant to change, preferring to dwell on past experiences rather than exploring new possibilities.
- Lack of questions:
They might not ask questions or seek to understand things they don't already know.
- Closed-mindedness:
They may have a strong sense of certainty about their beliefs and be unwilling to consider alternative perspectives.
- Difficulty learning new things:
This can stem from a lack of motivation or a belief that learning is too difficult.
- Contentment with the status quo:
They may be satisfied with their current level of knowledge and not feel the need to expand their understanding of the world.
- Feeling like they know everything:
This can be a major barrier to curiosity, as there's no motivation to learn if one believes they already possess all the knowledge.
- Ego and pride:
A strong ego can prevent people from admitting they don't know something and seeking out new information.
- Fear of failure:
Some may avoid learning new things out of fear of making mistakes or not being good enough.
- Lack of opportunity or resources:
People facing difficult life circumstances might not have the time or energy to pursue intellectual interests.
- Negative past experiences:
Previous negative experiences with learning or challenges can create a reluctance to engage with new information.
- Societal factors:
A culture that doesn't value curiosity or that rewards conformity can stifle the desire to learn and explore.
- Stress and fatigue:
Being constantly stressed or tired can make it difficult to engage with new information and ideas.
- Personality traits:
While not a universal rule, certain personality traits like introversion can sometimes be associated with a lower tendency to ask questions, although this is not the same as a lack of curiosity, according to some online discussions.
AI also had a very interesting summary on the long term effects that lack of curiosity has on a person as they age if people want to look into it.
Looks like he's dropping a load in his pants in that photo.
I think people with a lack of curiosity are truly one of my least favorite kinds of people. And they're beyond frustrating to work with too. I can't relate to people like this at all.
100000:1 odds that he doesn't even know who this guy is.
Meanwhile, Toronto slid into first while the Rays lost 2 of 3 to the Orioles and Athletics. It seems that our teams are performing to our expectations, huh, @dirtnap101?
Adam: what's the Seine?
Listen man, Adam does what he does and you can take it or leave it, got it?
Still telling this lie...
"didn't realize" - I once again gave him too much credit, thinking he'd remember or bother to look it up
Adam The Woo: "I like being dumb and doing dumb things"
Yes, Adam seems to enjoy stained glass and gothic buildings, and actually remarked on this church as he passed it today but he didn't investigate, didn't find out what it was, and doesn't research, so the chances of him actually uncovering it are small. And he's fine with that, he doesn't care, which is one of the saddest things about his international travel and his life, really.
Adam responded in a laughing way to people like this twice in his comments today. The first time I thought it was a typo. Then I saw it again, and it was exactly the same. WTF?
Oh you can be SURE he thinks about it each and every day. His massive, bloated ego wouldn't have it any other way
Has an attempt been made on Adam? He says this like he's got personal experience with how bad it is...
Oh man, he ain't NEVER going back to Paris. NEVER. (it's sketchy for an old guy walking around with a camera glued to his hand, talking to himself, with a backwards baseball cap, a Mona Lisa blowing a bubble t-shirt and prison tattoos on his arms and legs, maybe. You might as well carry a neon sign that says "idiot American")
Fans just continue to suggest this...do they watch the same person I do? What makes them think there's any chance in hell he'd do this?
Translation: this was bought to leave in the trash when I go home, but people like it so I'm considering keeping it

Oh indeed...however, your team shows improvement, even fairly consistent improvement I would say.
Rays the last three months:
The Yankees?
This is what you get when your offseason plan is "sign Max Fried. That's it." A roster littered with homegrown position players that are - at best - just ok (Volpe, Rice, Wells), a starting staff that can't begin to overcome the loss of Cole in the long term (Yanks haven't produced an above-average starter that has stayed healthy for 3 seasons since never - Andy Pettitte?), and a bullpen that is made up of castoffs, journeymen and a closer who can't handle pitching in a place like the Bronx.
All I ask is one of two things: that the franchise worth over $10 billion dollars spends like it (a/k/a The Dodgers), or that if they are going to cheap out on salary and just pay 5 guys all the money, get a real GM and invest in people that know baseball and can scout properly so you don't end up with a roster full of league average (at best) players + Aaron Judge and hope for the best.
The Rays might not be in first place, but the Yankees used to be there and may never return this season. It's very bad in the Bronx right now, the org is rotten from the top down. Boone is an idiot. Players who were promising as rookies slowly get worse, then leave the Yankees and blossom. Gleyber Torres is having a career year, all he needed to do is get out of the Bronx.
I'm sure Adam is very happy, regardless of the Rays not being able to grab 1st so far.
It was the horrible fan base that made them get rid of Baby G Torres
So , the $60,000 question is : will he go to Paris Disneyland ???
Good grief! He actually goes up close to the Lafayette Monument, sees that the plaque is in French and so doesn't bother with it and moves on and starts rambling about a fictional street in a '80s TV movie.
I don't know French but I can tell from the plaque Lafayette had something to do with Washington and the American revolution, which would be very appropriate with the 4th of July a couple of days away. Instead he's going on about the first time he saw chess on tv??!
(Sorry if this was mentioned before, but I am watching this now and I am gobsmacked at his ignorance and poor planning)

Nope, I missed it. If we really went after it, we could make a pretty big list of he things he misses on these trips due to ignorance and poor planning. My 15 year old insisted on a picture with a portrait of Lafayette at Versailles because Lafayette is a favorite from the Hamilton musical (and the American Revolution). Two different worlds...
It really is crazy how good the Yankees should be but aren't. At least with the Rays, given our payroll investment, expectations should always be realistically tempered. Definitely has to be more frustrating to be a Yankees fan. My 19-y/o son is into baseball and I was telling him recently about those 2000s Yankee teams that were so good with a lot of homegrown talent.
I thought the Rays would be a playoff team going into the season and I think that'll play out, although June is a bit of an over-achievement. We're due for the lull that seems to have started in the last two series.
And Adam still has no idea who Ha-Seong Kim is just like he had no idea who Chandler Simpson or Jake Mangum were.
I hate saying this, but Adam in this photo looks like a local homeless person where I live.
Reason I say I hate saying that is the homeless person (I think he does have a place, but he can't stay during the day and is only allowed basically to sleep at the place when I've asked about him at the local library as he hangs out there sometimes (something Adam is unfamiliar with unlike the homeless man)) as I find it an insult to the homeless man.
Day 2 in Paris, down 6k views from the not very good views-level of Day 1 in Paris (within the first 24 hours)
Not to worry, eating McDonalds in France is sure to get those views a huge boost.
Stray pubes creeping up his cheek
Today’s thumbnail is extra gross.
I'm surprised he's letting people know where he's staying and of course he's got another LOOK AT ME I'M A TOURIST t-shirt...
Wonder how many times he's been approached by kids asking to "sign a petition" while they pick pocket you...

Well, those Frenchies talk funny and they eat weird things with names most 'Muricans can't pronounce like "crepes" and "fromage".
Adam trying to speak to a French person but his only experience with the French Language comes from Dexter's Laboratory
Oh god... He's complaining he can't walk down to where Princess Diana died...
Surprised he showed the "Dykes love Princess Diana" for as long as he did..
Also he's right next to a replica of the flame on the Statue of Liberty..
I mean.. I quote movies all the time but I don't make them my entire life
