Lockdowns help highlight a lot of "just because it's what you do, not because it's actually good" things for people.
Theatres are generally awful. They are really only good if you want to do an event as a group, and not one has a space big enough to host.

The food costs too much, people make gross mouth noises when eating the expensive food, the seats aren't comfortable, things aren't clean, people talk, people pull out their bright phones, the sound levels are all over the place, you sometimes have a bad viewing angle, you pay a lot of money but still shown 20 minutes of ads at the start, you need to worry about things like bed bugs, you need to plan a specific time to go, people bring their kids to non-kid movies, going to the bathroom is awkward, colour balancing is all over the place, drunk/high people react in distractingly bad ways, and probably many more reasons.

It is illegal, but kids get most content online now. So, although many countries have laws on the books against ads targeting children, it doesn't mean that they don't.

Juul got in trouble for doing this, using ads that were definitely not specifically targeting tweens/teens on websites for Seventeen magazine, cartoon network, and Nick jr.

Edit: correction on the websites

I would say that the first 6 episodes were really good, and the last 4 are just okay; they are kinda just rushed.

1-6 could've been one season, and they should've done a 6 episode season 2 to give the post-time-skip story more time to breath.

Which is saying something, because the main quest in Fallout 4 is awful.

  • Be frozen in time for an unknown number of years
  • Get unfrozen, and watch your kid get stolen
  • Get refrozen for an unknown number of years

You learn that you were frozen for over 200 years total. It is most likely that your child is dead, just like everyone else you have ever known, so why would you look for them?

I can't complete the survey because of the questions.

Some questions are single choice but should allow for multiple, like 29.
Some questions are too broad, like question 17, "why?".

But it runs windows, so it's useless and we don't care.

You may not be familiar with Canada, it's large and diverse. There are people who go their whole lives without seeing a tree, let alone a deciduous one.
