Right. I think Spotify, Youtube, Twitch, TikTok and similar services are in this position of practically unlimited "good" content.

Browsing Netflix for 2 hours only to watch nothing is so common it's memed after all..

Bolstering the bottom of the distribution in advance of inflation/recession seems like an amazing outcome to me.

Pedantic point: Plenty of people don't particularly have a passion for poopies not produced by their progeny.

I've had songs disappear/reappear and I don't notice until it comes up on a discover/radio and I realize it isn't marked as liked anymore.

I imagine it's due to licensing fuckery, but you'd think they'd keep track of the song in your favourites and reinstate it later.. infuriating. I got part way through writing a script to periodically check what has disappeared earlier this year, maybe I should go dust it off

Alternatively, read the sentence again https://brians.wsu.edu/2016/05/22/from-to/

In my experience, there is a lot of little urban legends and superstitions that young people still take part in / talk about, but it's unclear how many do it for fun and how many partially believe it. Anecdotally, I've met plenty of young people (20s) who believe the whole bloodtype/personality thing.

You asked for an ambiguous example and you got one. What do you mean you don't buy it?

Looking at what goes on inside human rights tribunals (at least in ontario), I don't see how things are just fine. If anything, the tiny population size of Canada means nothing particularly exciting ever happens in Canada..

The authour tends to write about this topic a lot. I found it more or less reasonable, but they no doubt have a bias.

Forgetting the context surrounding this quote (which makes it no where near as bad IMO but I also acknowledge other readings are reasonable), I wonder if this hypothetical would be a proper analogue:

> García Martínez describes [men] in the [Wall Street] area as "[douchey] and [egotistical], cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit.”

That's the sort of sentiment I've heard over a drink about any number of places/topics, but I don't think it should be a fireable opinion to publish. Bonus points if you can explain how above example is different without using the word 'power'.

Edit: I've also noticed others posting quotes from the book where he uses equivalently inflammatory language against men, himself, people he worked with at goldman sachs (aka: my toy example pretty much does also appear in his book), etc. My opinion is this paints the book as more of a gauche satire against everyone/everything in his life.
