*During a Zoom meeting between teacher En-Kuang "EK" Lung and his student Raymond Wang on June 15, the two were watching Khan Academy videos about accounting. The meeting lasted for two hours on this fine Monday night, from 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time until 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Lung asked a question about the difference between cash accounting and accrual accounting, to which Raymond said that in accrual accounting, you pay right away. EK then said, "What do you mean 'right away'?" Raymond then thought of the Justin Bieber song by the title "]" and he spent the next 10-20 minutes thinking obsessively about how he wished the video for the song didn't have as many dislikes as it did. The video for this song has 88.7% likes and 11.3% dislikes as of right now. Raymond loves this video and is disappointed that the video has such a high dislike proportion. He also remembered that the "Sorry" video, which was published only two months later, also has the same 8:1 ratio. He had a burning desire to post a comment on the videos to mention these facts, but it was 10:10, and there were still 20 minutes remaining in the meeting. Raymond went to bed at around midnight. It was easily one of the worst midnights of the year for him. On Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time, he was unable to sleep because of sharp pain in his tooth. He had a tooth extracted last week, but it continued to hurt due to a dry socket. He was also obsessively distracted by "What Do You Mean?" and other 2015 songs.
