I'd consider most of them to be the same quality of story as Marvel and Transformers movies, which is my point. The values are simply more popular, but there's a lot of "the good guys win because they're good" even in non-chosen ones stories.
I've noticed this is more common in non-Western media and I think China is what really drives this. You have explosions and the "good guys" winning without much struggle and they love it.
As much as people like to champion anime and manga over western media, a lot of it is just as bad as Marvel in terms of plot yet sells fairly well.
Like before the ugly guy would have to compliment the girl to have it considered harassment.
Now women tell me horror stories about "creeps" and it just sounds like a guy who is ugly and maybe an aspie is trying to be friendly, or trying to get to know an average to ugly looking woman better.
I don't see the point, sure it probably increases the electricity bill somewhat significantly, that's only like 10k worth of stuff they claim they worked extra for, or traded something for. It's not nothing, but it's almost certainly less than vacations, a boat, skiing, and so on.
But I bet the “interfere with the comfort, convenience, or quiet use and enjoyment of the transit system of any reasonable person.” does not include people screaming into their phones, or bringing a stereo onto the bus.
The funny thing about Prokop is people think he deserves to be in the NHL. Basically he's a project that's far behind the development curve of most plugs.
He has a shot because he's 6'6 and can skate, so all he really has to do is be passable defensively.
I'd imagine they'd do something, it just might not be great. It's almost too late for it to matter though with immigration and mega corps.
Realistically, we'll kneecap ourselves so the useless feel useful and we can import more consumers.
In a more ideal world, you'd get hobby stores everywhere.
Well a big part of the problem in boomers not retiring is also that it discouraged innovation. It's worse in certain industries, companies, and locations, but between credentialism and experience mattering so much you have many people who are behind industry trends setting policy and criteria. Hence why you have so many middle managers and HR people in their 30s and 40s who cannot use a computer, because the executives also struggle with computers and don't see their value.
