How's the weather where you are? And Americans hit by Debby? Anyone near any of thise crazy wild fires? Anyone having a beautiful day?

Light rain.

Going to be in the 80s this weekened! It's an August miracle.

It's breezy and in the upper 60s. It's astoundingly cool.

We got ourselves a tornado watch until morning. I should just go to bed and sleep through it but I am stressssed since I read one just touched down a bit north of here.

Jeeez lookit all those typos. This is why I normally avoid typing on my phone. Sorry y'all.

103 degrees and miserable.

97 with smog from ozone and wild fire smoke.

It’s hot and it sucks. My stepmom’s house got hit by a weakened Debbie and thankfully is fine. They only JUST finished repairs from the hurricane two years ago.
No one in my family is dealing with the fires but my vacation to Washington got canceled :(

Rainy, 62 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have the window slightly open. It's good.

It was gorgeous here today. High was about 70, sunny and comfortable, it's supposed to get into the upper 40s tonight, and this kind of weather's supposed to last for at least the next week or so. Fine by me.

it’s cold and miserable for me, sadly :-( but once this month is over it’ll be spring! and hopefully then the weather will improve

The bitch overstayed her welcome, as we had all anticipated, but we were lucky enough to dodge the flood bullet. But now a bunch of thunderstorms came out of nowhere like a fucking debby bootlicker and they are fucking self-renewing and I am like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH WHY ARE YOU HERE WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH RAIN ALREADY AND DON'T NEED THIS FUCKING SHIT KNOCK IT OFF NOW.

Do you listen to bad reviews when you choose what to watch?

Seeing the 7% on Rotten Tomatoes for Borderlands and debating whether I still want to see. Trailer looks so fun. And Cate Blanchett.

Yes technically, but in the broader scope of listening to many reviews and not ignoring the bad ones or ignoring the good ones.

When something is 7% bad it's probably so bad it's not even funny, idk

I almost always disagree with the major bad reviews. People said to never bother with Oceans 8 but I've watched it 3x now. Same with The Marvels.

Sire there are some that are genuinely awful but for the most part if something looks fun or good to me I don't pay attention to the negative nancies.

I love bad reviews because people tell on themselves a lot. It was bad reviews that convinced me to see Fury Road, cause all the people who hated it were assholes. If everyone hates it.... that's most likely a bad movie.

I ignore everything about a movie I want to see except the first full length trailer. I do a total SM blackout until I’ve seen the movie because I don’t want to know what anyone else thinks or feels about it. I much prefer to go in without any expectations beyond my excitement from the first trailer (which is usually spoiler free).
If I do hear a lot of bad stuff about a movie, it definitely sours me for wanting to see it.

I don’t look at any reviews for a show or movie before I watch it. I’ll watch a trailer, consider if it looks like something I might enjoy and go see it or not depending on that. Other people aren’t me, they don’t know my tastes so I can’t use them as a gauge on whether I’m going to like something.

I do like to read reviews or opinions after I’ve seen something though out of curiosity on how other people felt.

For me it depends on the media and 'why' its getting a bad rating.

If a film sounds interesting enough to me even with the bad ratings, I'll probably go see it anyways - but with books I've definitely ended up avoiding certain titles if I go through the non-spoilery reviews and see a pattern on why they were disliked in a selection of reviews.

if it's something I want to watch and the premise is interesting to me then NO. I don't even look at the trailer or anything. I maybe read the synopses and look at some stills, but never at the scores.
I love horror movies and people (especially critics) have shit taste for them. I don't trust anyone else but me. If the movie end up being reeealy terrible then I'm probably going to just stop it and do something else.
(I'm that anon that sometimes re-emerge to rant about how much they despised the first A Quite Place (96% on RT?????). Add Saw X to the list of reasons why I don't trust movie critics)

Seeing as Borderlands is a very popular IP the critics are going to be very harsh/lenient depending on the IP/genre itself. 7% is quite low and I highly doubt that's an objective score.
I hope it'll be fun for you if you decide to give it a watch! <3

Nah. So many things I've enjoyed got "bad" reviews and so many things that everyone raved about was a big miss for me. If you're interested in something (book, show, movie, whatever), engage with it and make your own decision on whether you liked it or not.

Reviews (to me) matter for things like electronics, gadgets, etc, where people with experience in the item tell me what works and doesn't work about it and whether it will work for what I need it for.

So I read that with mainly autism and ADHD (and maybe other conditions i don't know) some of them fall into the aesthetic camps of either really liking or really disliking lots of color. When I learned this it made sense bc my brother was the kind who found lots of vivid colors obnoxious, he would always stand out side when Mom took my sister and me into Limited Too . While I was the vivid color LOVING type.

For those who fall into either of those camps of preference.... what kind of patterns do you like?
