  • It’s definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don’t often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I’ll occasionally even look at what’s trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.

    Either way, it’s not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins’s Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by “all” I mean “most”, of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.













  • I don’t think the point of their comment was “poor people shouldn’t have luxuries”. Stupid actions are stupid, regardless. But when a rich person buys a sports car it’s just regular stupid, and when somebody spends their entire savings on a sports car and starves later, that’s extra stupid, because priorities. Everybody is free to do whatever, but it’s important to admit when we do something stupid.
