Now I have two methods depending on how much I care.
Either I need all available options and have them listed out like a spreadsheet, then I'll painstakingly determine which ones I like based on critera and using my feelings like a vague sensor.
Or if I don't have time for that I'll use an algorithm of some kind, like Spotify's Smart Shuffle, then I'll determine what I like based on this new "optimized" list.
Because I can't just like a random disconnected thing, no no no, I need to make sure it's something I will definitely like and maybe incorporate into my identity.
