  • Critic and audience scores are more and less important depending on the movie.

    Do you want to find movies that are well done, break new ground, or include the tropes that critics love? Critic reviews are helpful.

    Do you want something that is well done in a genre that critics tend to look down on, like horror or comedy? Audience reviews are helpful.

    But any kind of score aggregation of either group is far less useful than reading a review that clarifies whether the movie includes things you like a lnd whether they are well done. A horror movie that has reviews that mention frequent jump scares will drive me away because I don’t like them that much unless they are frequent and well done. Someone else might want to see it because that is what they enjoy!


  • I lived in a suburb that had shopping and a city park in easy walking distance as a kid and it was pretty awesome. I now live in one where the nearest business is 2 miles away and it sucks. Both in the US and with wildly different experiences.

    I also lived in a fairly dense residential area that was great as there were businesses in walking distance that were fun to go to, and another where there were businesses, but they all sucked so I had to drive somewhere else.

    The real problem is the separation if residential and business zoning to such a degree that going to any business requires transportation.












  • While there are differences in textures and flavors, different kinds of tomatoes are like different kinds of apples. Someone might just not like apples or tomatoes and never find one they enjoy, and someone else might only like one or a few types.

    All tomatoes will have the firm outside and structure with liquid parts. Even with the variance on firmness and amount of liquid, they are all clearly tomatoes.


  • In addition to color variety, different tomatoes have different textures. A farmer’s market is more likely to have a grower who knows the difference than a grocery store with a small heirloom basket where the staff just pit out what they have.

    Like some are more firm, or have more juice, and with a lot of variety like apples.
