Totally stealing that perfect drive vs daily traffic comparison! It's so true. My phone chugs battery when I'm using maps in the car, but reviews just play a video in a lab. It's like they think we all live in perfect wifi bubbles with the screen brightness at 30%. Throw in some spotty cell signal and actual app switching, and that "12 hour" rating becomes a sad 5 hour scramble for a charger.

Oh man, brian_ward55, you just called me out. I will happily spend an hour picking apart why a movie monster's plan makes no sense, because for that hour I'm not thinking about my own to-do list. It's a way better kind of stress. Arguing about fiction feels fixable, you know? Like there's a right answer somewhere. Real work is just a pile of stuff that never ends. So yeah, maybe I use plot holes to hide from my own life's plot holes.
