I just experienced this. The box said they'd be just as good. They were not just as good.

Hi straight. I'm narrow.

It seems like critics are turning more and more inward, and what they appreciate is increasingly esoteric. So the stuff they like is less accessible to the unwashed masses like myself because if you're not staying up to date on the latest and greatest trends in the medium, it doesn't make sense why they rate something so highly.

Yeah audience scores are my jam. Critics have failed me time and time again.

The trick is to never look away. Stare till they notice, then keep staring. Have to get up to use the restroom? Maintain eye contact as long as possible and reestablish it the moment you're back in sight. If they get up, the responsibility to maintain that eye contact is on you. Make sure to stay within eyesight, following them if necessary. This is your chance, we're rooting for you!

This is consistent with their pro fetal-life platform.

I didn't see your comment till just now. Sorry you got down voted. People are dumb for down voting you because you asked a question. I saw an answer, so have an upvote friend :)

Sure, but whataboutism doesn't change the gravity if this situation.

Chicken dinner right here boys. Gotta be it.

Yup. News is the only instance I've blocked cause of that kind of nonsense. Luckily we got choices and can easily leave poorly-run communities without leaving the whole 'verse.

I personally do not, but I think it's a personal decision. I have a background in working for homeless non-profits. If you have a desire to really help and be part of moving towards a solution, find a local group and donate and/or volunteer with them.

The reality of handing money to someone is at best it's a band-aid, and more often you're just buying that night's substance of choice. No judgement there, if I was homeless and likely not receiving needed medical and mental health treatment, I'd be high and drunk as often as I could too. Hell, I'm high as often as I can be now. Nevertheless though, I feel comfortable choosing not to participate by handing money when asked and I don't begrudge anyone who does.
