Microwaves designed for public use often don’t have them. I never really knew whether it’s because they don’t need them because they have more magnetrons or something, or just because they prioritize easy cleaning.

TikTok? YouTube? Blue Sky?

Even older meme!

Bad memory. It’s built-in and non-optional.

Is it usually earlier in the US? Sounds a bit on the high side for where I live too.

I imagine they can digest them just fine

Aah, parenting competence tests. The thing that SOUNDS like a good idea until you think about it for more than two seconds.

Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

I didn’t even know those trees made edible fruit!

Oh boy why are people like this.

I don’t mean to brag, but I have an astonishing lack of culture.

There aren’t many Jewish people here so by proxy I’ve never seen antisemitism in person. I’m not well-placed to talk at all.

That said, it’s hard not to wonder whether the term antisemitism isn’t being used abusively…

Initial reaction: there’s no way that’s real

After reading the comments: what the fuck

I mean so far we haven’t given them much reason to think otherwise.

I honestly haven’t watched a lot of non-dubbed content in a while, considering my mom moved in with me and she doesn’t tolerate other languages.

But my ears aren’t very sharp, so I can’t tell what’s a good mix. I’ll be honest with you, I may own a decent pair wired earbuds, unless it’s classical music, I can’t hear much difference between music qualities.

Bad color or motion handling on a TV, though, that’s an instant cringe for me.

Tbh if you only have the budget for one mix, it should be the mainstream one for 90% of viewers. If the producers wanna be artsy, go ahead, include an artsy mix with the BluRay or something.

Imagine if they did something as extreme as they do to movies with music. You basically only hear the bass and the lyrics are incomprehensible unless you have an expensive sound system? Sheesh.

By the way, normal people like me don’t even know what a compressor is. To me, even the hassle of having a speaker outside of my TV isn’t worth it. Most people are like this.

That should be optional. I don’t wish to be “immersed”. I just wanna see the story. Sure, make the “extreme” experience a possibility for those with a taste for the subtle things in the art or whatever, but don’t push it onto all of us.

Because ANYTIME there are sounds that are way louder than dialogues, of course I’m gonna reach for the remote, because holy shit.

Plus, that idea of dynamic range is what allows ads to be so damn loud compared to everything else.

Absolute madness.

Imma be honest, I don’t see why the explosion should be louder than speech. I can see the boom; I can tell that it’s an explosion. It doesn’t need to be reinforced to be through volume.

Asterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.

For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.

And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.
