I mean, Gods I cannot even begin to imagine that. Any time I have watched a film semi-recently though it was 1) Years ago and 2) Had about 4 people in it.

I haven't gone to a movie theater since the pandemic. Never even had the screaming kids experience, but I'm just kinda over "going to the movies" on a free day. I'll watch the movie some time later, on the computer after work and then go to sleep. There are better things to be doing on a "free" day (free from the labour I've chosen to do, but not truly free as I know monday is approaching fast) such as getting drunk, eating rear end, playing games, etc.

Technically kids are supposed to have adult supervision when watching an R rated movie but I don't know that I've ever actually seen that enforced; certainly never when I was a ten year-old. Do kids not watch R rated movies these days?? When I was growing up, there were like seven kids who hadn't seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre and those were the Weird Kids With Parents Who Didn't Let Them Have Fun. My parents took me to all sorts of R rated movies.

My local movie theater had a "student rate" that was like a buck cheaper with any student ID, so I kept my college ID card in my wallet for years after I graduated, for that purpose only.

Having neighbors who don't speak the same language as you actually kinda rules because you can tune out their conversations much more easily. You still have to put up with music occasionally, but "My Way" sounds much better in Spanish and I root for the guy upstairs in his current efforts to teach himself to play La Bamba.

I agree with the thread title, but I'd like to go one step further and just say no more loving Olympics. There's only a few thousand people on Earth who care how accurately someone can play high-speed 8-string tech death riffs, and we don't throw entire cities into chaos for them. Maybe slightly more people care how far you can throw a bowling ball or how fast you can jump over a bunch of sticks, but those people are stupid and don't count

The Olympics are famously disastrous and should either be gone or have one permanent location that's actually set up for them, but sports are probably one of the most universally liked things across all cultures, genders, ideologies etc. Meanwhile I am shocked that Metal-Archives only lists 1,910 technical death metal bands out of the 55,847 death metal bands in general, but I'm probably not doing the search right.

Make all professional sportsball players use the same fields that we build for high-schoolers. Hand out the now smaller number of tickets by lottery. Use the space saved for paintball arenas and skate parks. I don't even skate but those little bastards deserve a place to get all that energy out of their system, and that place needs to be away from me and my car because I'm doing 5 over to get home before I poo poo my pants from all the Taco Bell I just ate

I used to like the Olympics mostly because I have nostalgic memories about watching the Barcelona games when I was 8 (the first Olympics I remember). But yeah....the entire concept of 'international games' where the world comes together as one to celebrate the best athletes is spoiled when you have the "USA! USA! USA!" chest beating and dick measuring over which country got the most medals. That's not even getting into everything I've heard about the IOC suggesting that it's a corrupt mess, or the problem of building sprawling facilities for the games that are used once before sitting and rotting for decades afterwards. They should just make Athens the home of the Olympics and set up permanent athletic facilities there.

I'm not saying im full r/childfree and call them "crotch droppings" but there should be places besides bars that are designed for adults. I remember there was a show or article about this and basically the rise of the mall coincides with the closure and capitalisation of socialisation spaces. We used to have so many more spaces to hang out but a) most of them were bought and subsequently became a shopping outlet of some form or another and, b) anything remaining we drove kids away from in the 90s and 00s because "teens gathering and being social" was seen as a bad thing. This is what remains, and it sucks, but y'all voted for it (Not me, I wasn't born 😌)

Beer and Wine is just an issue with controlling consumption. There are levels to it though. Whisky and Gin are extremely respectable; tweed suit, goes to the opera level respectable. Vodka can be iffy, if you drink a Vodka tonic you can go gently caress yourself. Rum is a no go unless it's summer or you've got summer energy. Brandy is respectable, but you probably don't have any friends. Tequila is bullshit. If you're drinking some bullshit like Akvavit you need to ask yourself why you feel the need to be contrarian all the time.

China is right to blanket their cities with security cameras. We shouldn't have any expectation of privacy in public spaces so I don't know why people go apeshit whenever they put in cameras. Put the cameras everywhere, especially so we can give more speeding tickets and fine the fuckers that run stop signs to oblivion. Parking also needs to be way more expensive. At least $100 a day if you make over X yearly salary. Either that or remove all street parking and put parklets everywhere.
