People are pretentious. Asking them about their values just proves it even further. So I drew this random animation to express it. Plus, my computer tutorials weren't performing well, so I need something new and fresh! This 2-minute video might seem silly, but I am actually able to see people's character and values better by doing this simple trick. Try this out, you won't regret it.
