What point do you think I'm trying to make? Because all I'm saying is that the argument that "X is watched by a million people therefore it can't be a chore" isn't actually very good. I'm not saying that one person arguing something is a chore to watch instantly makes it a chore for everyone because that would make no sense?

Really? Because from what I'm seeing you're pretty much saying just that by declaring that your opinion overrides that of millions of other people.

A lot of people disagree with this opinion because they buy the burgers. I doubt anyone thinks they're the best, but if they didn't think they were good, they would go to Burger King, or Wendy's, or whatever. I think Friends and The Office are both loving garbage. I'm clearly in the minority on that opinion though, and yelling about how everyone who watches Friends is brain dead isn't going to convince anyone.

Arguments about subjective taste never make sense to me. Some people love cilantro. Other people hate cilantro. No one tallies up all those people to figure out if cilantro is objectively bad or good based on the number of people who do or don't like it.

At the end of they day this is real simple as it basically boils down to two options: Either the statement "this show is a chore" is just a subjective value statement that expresses a personal opinion and nothing more or there is some common objective definition of what a chore is, and if the second is the case then it seems highly unlikely that a huge amount of people would voluntarily subject themselves to something that is objectively speaking a chore unless some kind of external circumstances are at play here.

Which is why being all "well just because a lot of people watch something doesn't mean it's good" misses the point entirely, because that's not even the question under debate here.

Was reminded of this gem today

https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2017/05/18/the-inexplicable-inevitable-rise-jinder-mahal/

quote:

Adding to this historical pattern is a new goal for the WWE: international expansion. The UK Tournament earlier this year made clear that the WWE’s ambitions go beyond bringing existing talent to foreign lands, but also creating unique and homegrown (or at least localized) stars across the globe. Finding these talents has and will continue be a challenge, so the ability to use an existing talent for this purpose certainly suits the company’s goals.

I am not pretending this Sunday’s match will be a classic. It will very likely not even be one of the two most important matches on the show. But, I am always in favor of trying something, anything once.

And if Jinder Mahal can rise from semi main eventing in Staten Island to battling for the WWE Title at a WWE pay-per-view in slightly over a year, then literally anything and everything is possible in WWE.

Cilantro is a bad example because you can tell if someone finds it bad or not based upon their genes. There's a gene that causes people to experience a soapy taste with cilantro instead of whatever it actually tastes like (I dunno because that gene runs in my family). So it's objectively bad to people with that gene and subjective (mostly positive) to people without it.

They got rid of the beef fat like a decade ago to court vegetarians and their fries have never been the same since.

The par-cooking process involves oil that contains beef flavoring, they don't fry in beef tallow any more.


McDonalds posted:

Do you add any type of flavor when preparing your fries?

Yes. When our suppliers partially fry our cut potatoes, they use an oil blend that contains beef flavoring. This ensures the great-tasting and recognizable flavor we all love from our World Famous Fries®. The fries are cooked in our kitchens, seasoned with salt, and served hot to you. Still curious? Find out everything you want to know about McDonald's fries.

Also McDonald's fries live or die based on how fresh/hot they are. If you're lucky to get them straight out of the fryer they're the best drat thing in the world, but the minute they cool down you may as well be eating cardboard.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Also the best fries/chips are KFC but only in Australian because they use chicken salt down here on the chips and chicken salt is Australia's greatest contribution to food cultute and virtually unknown outside australia.
