remember when the video game and film industries realized it would be safer to cannibalize proven IPs and the ratio of sequels/remasters/reboots/remakes/rereleases climbed precipitously in the 21st century? is it just me or are musicians rereleasing the same song across multiple editions of albums just so it has more opportunities to show up on your discovery feed. the algorithm needs to figure out how to punish this fr. i just got recommended a song in my discovery feed that ive already listened to like 50 times in the past week. it didn’t register as the same song because it was on a different edition of the same album (that only differed by a single song, i might add!). music historians are going to have a very hard time organizing the 2020s.

look, i get it. if the murderer with the axe showed up at your door and asked where your friend is, you don’t wanna tell him, i get it. but in a locker room, the ethical code has gotta be the formulation of universal law. every time you want to do something, ask yourself “wait, would the locker room become completely unusable if everybody did this?” i dont care if your locker room behavior grants you 100 utils and only deducts 1 from me. what i care about is JUSTICE.
want to leave your bag on the space-constrained changing bench and then walk away? remember the formulation of universal law. want to listen to music from your bluetooth speaker in the shower? REMEMBER THE FORMULATION OF UNIVERSAL LAW.
