Why do these guys always have profile pictures that showcase their forearms? Forearms are the new car selfie with Oakleys for these people.

In general wherever you see a large group of people acting against their own interests there is some behind the scenes billionaire astroturfing going on. See also: NRA & arms manufacturers, Global Warming and fossil fuel companies, any sort of conservative political action group and billionaires.

I hope my strategy of "wear obviously homemade masks, be visibly terrified" is panning out, my plan is to shame people into taking this seriously which they are very obviously not in my area. I get some weird looks but the fear in my eyes is genuine and bottomless so I feel like I might be getting through to some people when they make fleeting eye contact with me and briefly graze the void

I keep oscillating between "lol shits hosed lets make bean jokes" broke-brain and "holy poo poo this hasn't even started yet, nobody knows what's going to happen and the world will never be the same" existential dread and I gotta say I wish I could just pick one or the other, I could find ways to cope with either of those if I didn't keep changing gears

The catalyst for this recent bout of dread was that I had to do my monthly resupply trip and noticed the seasonal candy aisle was completely untouched with "EASTER CHEAP BUY" signs up (wasn't easter a week ago? time no longer has meaning) so I took 30 seconds to check it out. They had 15 dollar boxes of chocolates marked down to like 80 cents, none of them were even close to expiring and Mother's Day is on the horizon, what the gently caress? In other news I'm full of chocolate and horror which is better than just horror I guess

please like and subscribe and smash that like button as all-consuming terror washes over your soul

I've seen the number bounce anywhere from 70-87%. The current question is asking if a SIP is good policy , while not elaborating that many people want even stricter policies in place.

not that anyone will be going any time soon, but any movie theater experience in 2020 that isn't the recliner/restaurant kind is a total waste of time considering it barely costs that much more than the big chains for a night out and the food and beverages are vastly better

direct releases always made more sense and being able to pause to use the bathroom is the instant sell alone

Flix Brewhouse did bespoke 30 minute clip compilations before every show with movies related to the movie you are about to watch. same themes, actors, directors, whatever. every single movie.

but really, apart from that, and served mixed drinks while you watch, and going to 11pm shows on Monday nights to see a movie entirely by yourself..... assigned seating was the revelation.

its kinda weird bc every other country that isn't america is usually assigned theater seating by default

we have a small 2-screen olde-school art deco-ish theater with the vertical neon sign from probably pre-40s that has tables and couches (and chairs) where you can order food including pizza, beer/cocktails/wine and appetizers and they bring them into the theater for you. it's not the greatest in terms of screen/sound but it's always a fun atmosphere in a smaller-scale place. it's often lively and affordable.

I tried to reach my chud coworkers that we're risking our lives and being paid nothing for it, boomers come in and treat us like poo poo and it's okay with corporate and they give us nothing but claps and hang in there kitties while they jack off on zoom with each other.

I think something popped today, like I pulled a muscle that I use for hope in humanity and it came off the bone completely. It's like there's some space in every american's head where class consciousness should go and it's just not there. Every state is going to cave to capital, everyone will go to work and die and be proud of it. Anyone who thinks we're going to come to our senses and enact UBI or do stricter quarantines is loving kidding themselves.

It's going to be, go to work, die.

and Americans did.
