Ya'll tip over there? I thought the US was the only place with that assbackward practice.

I see many folks here mentioning Dave Chapelle as a right-wing comedian, which is a joke in itself. Dave Chapelles' personal politics and much of the politics mentioned in his stand-up are not right-wing. He has a blend of center right/center left beliefs and supports progressive candidates. I understand there is controversy with his LGBTQ+ material and commentary, but that does not make all of his politics right-wing. This strikes me as coming from people who have little exposure to the black American community, where these attitudes are prevalent regardless of the individuals' other politics. It is slowly improving, but it isn't great. Frankly, I don't know why it is he continues to antagonize and harp on this for hours at a time. It is very strange and I know he's capable of much funnier material.

That isn't a bad deal at all, especially considering the costs of a single showing.

I've wanted to go to an Alamo for sometime, residual because they will have releases not found elsewhere.

That's literally what it cost last time I went, lol. I thought to myself, why did I just pay $50 for this?

I don't think I've been to a theater in 6+ years. $20+ for a single ticket, $15 for $.30 of popcorn+mystery chems, and another $15 for $.20 worth of a drink all while they pay high school children $7/hr. So that's $50 for me to sit in a dirty chair surrounded by assholes on their phones and running their mouths? I don't think that's something I'd like to pay for.

Someone once described people and tech as toddlers running around with rocket launchers. I don't remember where I heard that, but I feel it's accurate.

Am I missing it, or are they not saying what theatre's yet?

I just had to block that whole instance as well, especially because the same people mod all the subs. They literally delete me comments for being "uncivil," though I was literally just repeating back what was said to me. Those comments were allowed to stay, of course. The mod was supposedly generous for not banning me. It's cool, bro, I'll ban myself.

Thanks for the elaboration, I want aware of any of that. I agree that this wasn't an article that needed writing, lol.

I could see that in some areas. I rarely feel the need to do this myself, but there are occasions where it does make sense.
