I imagine “Not much else out for a 4-year-old” is at the top of every internal Disney Pictures slide deck

Don’t even think about it

Fair enough.

Yes, I think your interpretation is that the ding about lack of morals was singled out in relation to the source material. I didn’t interpret it that way. I don’t think reviews are obligated to ensure that a point of criticism is novel to the individual piece of work with a genre. But fair enough.

I don’t think review “fretted” over this show’s morals. It asks how it exists, given its lack of morals, common sense, and fun. The latter two qualities - particularly the last - are arguably the most important part of a reality show. As you note, many other reality shows are as immoral, but I don’t really see why it…

Advertising is done because advertising works. As a society, we’re okay if people buy lawnmowers they don’t need - as we should, good job ad! - but most countries recognize the harmful/inefficiency draining effect (on their own GDPs, this isn’t some altruistic bullshit!) of people taking drugs they do not need.

all good, I was being needlessly pedantic :)

Minor quibble, the computers are only X% focused on not hitting things (because 100-X% is the other things the computer is doing to facilitate the operation of the vehicle) but you make a good point: they’re checking on how that’s going thousands of times a second with a degree of consistency much higher than humans…

This deserves more stars.

“This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time”

“Being used to something” does not inherently make something more tolerable and the assertion that it does is a lousy argument.

Money does not make suppressing basic emotional responses easier. (See also: money does not buy happiness.) Should it? It should, according to people who feel they don’t have enough of it, but they usually change their tune upon acquiring it.

It’s one of those things where it looks great to demo - as a user, you picture yourself in a perfect world, just talking to it like a human, but when the rubber meets the road, we don’t really wanna ask a pair of scissors to cut a piece of paper for us. We just want to hold them and cut, and there are a lot of…

I agree with everything you said, save “Not mention this looks stupid...you really expect people to wear a clunky lapel pin every day?”

Any player that plays a map every day for a month knows it just as well as every other player who’s played it for a month just like beginner tennis players can complain that seasoned players have a wider foundation of strategy to use to inform their play. At some point, the advantages that involve strategic familiarity…

Places that are good for cars/parking are always attractive to visitors, because they don’t have bikes there, they don’t know the transit systems as well, they tend to have less time to spend in transit so they opt for taxies and car based transit, etc. But it’s more important that a city is functional and healthy for…
