Hick-hop, if you will.

I just don't think this is productive and is slightly hypocritical. Every Superbowl halftime show is lip synced, the artist doesn't get a choice, it's mandated by the NFL. I can't really criticize this shit for it.

I can absolutely criticize these fascists and pedo defenders for everything else though.

My dude, critics just value different things than everyday audiences. When you watch movies for a living you become jaded and value uniqueness more than anything. General audiences care a whole lot less about uniqueness and just want something entertaining. That's why you get off the wall stuff with high critic ratings but low audience ratings, or fairly generic but entertaining stuff with low critic ratings but high audience ratings.

Just know how to read the scores and RT is still the most useful around. Critic score are uniqueness, cinematography, and potentially storytelling. Critics also like drama much more than the average person. Audience scores are for entertainment value. But you also need to take the scores in context of genres you like. If you love scifi and a movie has a 50% audience score, you'll probably enjoy it plenty. If you hate scifi it's probably not for you at all.

For obvious propaganda pieces like this, that's how "Verified Audience" reviews will always be. In order to be counted you need to have purchased a ticket through one of RT's partners, so it's self-selecting. No sane person is going to buy a ticket to this bribe masquerading as a documentary, so it's only insane Republicans being counted towards that score.

You can select "All Audience" if you want to see everyone. It's at 29%, even after Republicans' review boosting campaign.

I actually make perfect sense given recent changes RT made. In order to leave an audience review and be counted towards the score, you need to be a verified viewer. Like, someone who has paid for a ticket through an RT partner like Fandango. The reason for this recent change was to prevent review bombing, like what happens on every movie conservatives hate. It obviously has some major drawbacks, like we can see for this movie's verified audience ratings, as only bootlickers would ever watch this garbage fire propaganda. So we only see their ratings here.

However, we can still see the all-audience ratings by clicking on the score and selecting that option. It's currently sitting at 29%, and that's even after a Republican campaign to boost the score.

So, we have critic scores at 10% (as of this very moment), which makes sense because the movie is trash and only the Republican culture warriors are giving it a thumbs up. Then only ticket purchasing viewers have their score taken into consideration for the "Verified Audience" score, so you only get bootlickers and of course they're all giving it a perfect score.

My mother still doesn't understand that passwords are exact. She thinks remembering something "close enough" should work. In other news, she's on her ~20th primary email address. My father can keep his passwords straight, but falls for every scam he comes across.

They're not driving whatsoever. They're just giving the autopilot instructions as to how to get unstuck when it encounters a situation it can't deal with. These people are not remotely taking the wheel. The car announces this to the passengers when this happens too. The article title is intentionally misleading.

People tried. They didn't even come close.

Why the fuck is she not out on bond right now, or in a cell?

Two reasons, (R) and ($).

Revanced has a patch for the official app.

"Low income", as defined by the state, is anything below $70,650 in Los Angeles county.

Relay still works too. The dev is also in talks with reddit about paid API access, but hasn't had it shut off.
