Just because someone says you should defend the left doesn't mean you are extreme.
There are several posters here that have a very hard time trimming down definitions and words because their goal is to be right over having a valid discussion.
A Psychologist did some research on the post-Millennial generation (Gen Z or iGen):
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_teens_today_are_different_from_past_generations
She calls them the 'iGens."
She feels that her research has as isolated 11 key things that are different about iGens compared to previous generations.
For example:
iGens, more than other generations, are respectful and inclusive of diversity of many kinds. Yet as a result, they reject offensive speech more than any earlier generation, and they are derided for their “fragility” and need for “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces.”
They are more accepting and care for others but they are more likely to want to stifle what they deem as offensive speech.
Generation Z highlights:
Gen Z is smarter with money than Millennials. In fact, 12% are already saving for retirement and a significant 21% of this generation of people ages 14 to 21 had a savings account before the age of ten!Generation Z is shaping up to be a true "throwback generation," already working, saving money, and determined not to end up like Millennials. 77% of Gen Z currently earn their own spending money through freelance work, a part time job, or earned allowance. This is a powerful finding given that this is also true for about the same percentage of Millennials surveyed, who are ten years older!
Gen Z is primed to become more influential than Millennials, and it’s happening quickly. Their practical and fiscally conservative behavior is making them part of businesses and our economy even at their young age.
In other words, the speculations the SWS makes in the OP is the opposite of what the research shows. They are more inclusive, less racist, more responsible with money, and more forward thinking than previous generations.
When we explore actual research, we see that Baby Boomers like SWS are out of touch with reality and are consuming too much curated news from the tele and Pop-Media sites.

I don't usually take just one study, I would be interested if you can find a few over a period of years and a metadata Analysis. Otherwise, all we have is an indicator. Add a hyphen between forward and think DDM and perhaps one between much and curated all though that's less obvious.
Originally posted by Putinbot1If he used 'much-curated' in that sentence, it would create a fragmented syntax, as the 'too' would have no purpose. Thus, 'much-curated' would not apply in any way in the context that he was using 'much curated' in. Again:
Much-curated would be a choice. It's right either way.

The news has been curated, and they're watching too much of it. It has nothing to do with the extent that the news has been curated...
Example: If I said "They watch too much violent television," it wouldn't make any sense to say instead "They watch too much-violent television."
Originally posted by ScribbleI just copy and pasted into Grammarly it says much-curated too. Try it if you have it and no, it doesn't fragment.

Originally posted by Putinbot1I trust my own knowledge of grammar and language, as well as my ability to understand the context of the sentence, over a computer program without understanding of context. Would you be able to explain why 'much-curated' could work within the context of the sentence? The only way I could see it working is if the sentence was instead: "Watching too much much-curated news."

I'm not shitting on Grammarly, I've heard that it can be very good, but I can't trust it in this case without an explanation for why a compound word works in place of two separate words in this specific context. The compound word orphans the 'too' before it.

Wonderful!
You have two in my post.

No you wouldn't. You're interested in moving the bar so far in the impossible direction so you can pretend to be right. Someone shit on your troll thread with actual research from two sources. Deal with it like an adult instead of posting about "meta-analyses" which you clearly don't know much about.

You mean two studies on the attitudes and behaviors of Gen Z? Right. 👆

No, then it would be wrong. And it is "ddm", not "DDM" if you wish to abbreviate my nickname.
Originally posted by ScribbleNah, much-curated becomes vivid and adds a little humour, it's actually as simple as that it's the second way you can use a hyphen which is why I said it was a choice. It's a throwaway, it's actually as simple as that.

Originally posted by dadudemonActually I know a great deal about Meta-analysis, in the same way long ago I taught you about significance in statistics. Which is why I believe you still are butthurt.

Ah, there it is. No longer playing your game with me. Now you go to direct insults. Poor form. You had the option to continue the game but I guess it was too difficult for you.
Quote the thread you're talking about. 🙂
