From the time France reluctantly ended its mandate in 1943, and particularly in the decades between the close of World War II and the disaster that tore Lebanon apart in the 1970s, Beirut was more cosmopolitan, more tolerant and, perhaps above all, more self-indulgent than any Arab city.

The New Rolling Stone Album Guide stated that the album "sports fabulously irritated lyrics aimed squarely at bourgeois Britain, undercut by thinner, less compelling music, and an uninterested- sounding Smith."Brackett, Nathan & Hoard, Christian (eds.) (2004) The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, Simon & Schuster Ltd, , p. 294 It was also described as "a more self-indulgent delivery" than its predecessor.Strong, Martin C.

However, Jarrell was greatly disappointed with Books II, III, and IV of the poem, writing the following: > Paterson has been getting rather steadily worse [with each subsequent > Book]... All three later books are worse organized, more eccentric and > idiosyncratic, more self-indulgent, than the first. And yet that is not the > point, the real point: the poetry, the lyric rightness, the queer wit, the > improbable and dazzling perfection of so much of Book I have disappeared—or > at least, reappear only fitfully.

Apart from biological factors, social factors, such a stigma in health care environments, can limit care and desirable health outcomes. In health care settings, overweight and obese women experience weight-related stigma. Surveys have demonstrated that health care workers view overweight and obese individuals as more lazy, less intelligent, and more self-indulgent than individuals with smaller body sizes. These attitudes may limit overweight and obese women's ability to receive high-quality care or limit their desire to become connected to care due to disrespectful treatment by providers.

Other sources focus on what might be interpreted as a more self-indulgent life-style. By the time he graduated he had inherited sufficient wealth to lead a quasi-aristocratic existence, involving much sport and extensive foreign travel in central Africa where it is reported that he carried out "ethnographic research", in Scandinavia, in central Europe and in the middle-east. His favourite sport was hunting (la chasse). He was also a landowner, and by 1939 was running a well managed farm- estate at Sainte-Marie-du-Mont (between Caen and Cherbourg).

This group consisted mostly of teens and young adults from the upper-class homes of Hamburg. Their objectives were originally more self-indulgent in nature, being privileged with wealth and German heritage, they spent their money on expensive clothing and liquor. The British musicologist Ralph Willett wrote that the Swing Youth wanted to emulate "the cool, languid demeanour" of British and American film stars.Willett, Ralph; "Hot Swing and the Dissolute Life: Youth, Style and Popular Music in Europe 1939-49", pp. 157–163, Popular Music, Volume 8, No. 2, May 1989, p. 159.

From that time onward, Belknap and Amanda continued to accept Marsh's quarterly payments. Amanda was considered to be more self-indulgent then her sister Carita, donning gorgeous gowns, jewelry and other accessories for parties and other events, and dubiously called the "spendthrift belle" by Washington society. The Belknaps extravagant lifestyle of entertaining Washington society, holding lavish parties, and wearing elegant clothes, created envy among both Democratic political figures and permanent residents of Washington. However, it was not publicly known that the Belknaps were receiving kickbacks until February 1876, when the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives launched an investigation, which discovered that Belknap and his wives had received about $20,000 in bribes from Marsh (approximately $394,000 in 2018).

According to Bunford, some of the more guitar-orientated songs the group recorded were included on initial track listings and were only left off the record at the last minute in favour of more electronic sounding tracks. Rhys has said that the decision to include "The Teacher" on the album was a decisive moment, as the track is "the most stupid thing on the record"—if a more downbeat song, such as eventual B-side "The Matter of Time", had been included in its place, Guerrilla would have been a much more self-indulgent album. The singer has also stated that the group's "healthy ego problems" would often result in individuals fighting to have some of their own songs removed from the final track listing of the record in favour of songs written by other members. The band chose to sequence the album like a hip hop record, with "Check It Out" as an introduction and "A Specific Ocean" and "The Sound of Life Today" as interludes.

After the initial release of Kill Climate Deniers in 2018 at Sydney's Griffin Theatre, critics and reviewers had mixed opinions on the politically controversial play and its portrayal of Australia's critical climate change issues. TimeOut appreciated the meta theatrical play's use of black humour and unique audio visual design, describing it as a "gleefully anarchic production" that raises a message about climate change in Australia. Many reviewers appreciated the use of comedy to portray a deeply important political message, Australian Stage comments on the 'ludicrous' nature of the play, and its vitality in bringing attention to the effects of global warming. Similarly, theatrical reviewer Suzy Goes See points out that the terrorist theme within the play is utilised only for good intention, and Kill Climate Deniers overall is stylistically impressive and 'unforgettably exhilarating' ArtsHub found the play "more self-indulgent than political", finding the interruptions from David Finnigan's character to be interruptive to the flow and main plot of the play, detracting from the main message which is about climate activism.

" NMEs Barry Nicolson stated: "This is the unmistakeable sound of a star being born: this is an album with something to say, in a voice all of its own." Kevin Ritchie ofNOW thought: "Occasionally Half Free can sound dense to the point of being vexing, but its vivid imagery and striking melodies keep Remy’s more self-indulgent tendencies grounded in a classic pop sensibility." Pitchfork critic Stuart Berman also responded positively, writing: "Even as its backdrop mutates from deep-house throbs to psych-rock guitar solos, Half Free always focuses your attention to where it should be: on Remy's radiant voice and vivid storytelling." Mike Opal of PopMatters stated: "Chirping Half Free‘s most compelling of its many indelible hooks, she tries to convince whoever listens 'You all have nothing here / You have so much to fear'." Tiny Mix Tapes' Will Coma praised the record, writing: "Mastermind Meg Remy’s first album for the vaunted 4AD label is bursting with vivid, cracked imagination and cool mastery of slippery pop allure.
