Like, beads for making bracelets and stuff? I must admit I fail to comprehend the entertainment value, but to each their own.

Beads? Sorting? I'm confused.

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".

I didn't know a transaction could be updated after the fact. That's wild.

You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?

I hate audio dynamic range. And i also hate how they don't ensure dialogue is audible over other noises unless it's dubbed.

This last one is so bad that I basically don't watch any American content in the original language anymore, because the French dub has clear voices and doesn't force me to use subtitles. So ridiculous.

On one hand, that's handy.

On the other hand, that's so much ewaste...
