What you think doesn't matter to me in the slightest, I've already decided.

A lazy person who has zero motivation to do anything. It's one of the most universal insults in Spanish, used across nearly every Latin American country to describe someone who just won't get off the couch or put in any effort. Think of it as calling someone a total slacker or bum.
