All the damn mastication during movies is one of the things that keeps me from going to theaters more often. Is it really that hard to go 1.5-2 hours without stuffing food in your gob?

ugh let it go. Some people don’t need to eat at the theater but want to. Movie theater popcorn is delicious and cannot be replicated at home so I want it when I go to the theater!

That’s good, because it’s an immensely unpopular and unhelpful take. Unless you’re potentially dropping $50 a week on popcorn to satiate your crippling cinema addiction.

And, again, you’re purposefully overlooking to rich tradition of movies + popcorn to just be reductive.

I can absolutely go 2 hours with a snack.

But theater popcorn and other snacks are a fun part of the theater experience for me, and countless other reasonable adults.

I’m glad that you decided not to go to the movies because of your over-sensitivity to chewing noises. That’s a reasonable way for you to deal with your…

oh my GODDDDDD get out of here with this. No, it’s not that hard. Yes, people do it all the time. Yes, popcorn and movie theatres are inseparably linked and continue to be a popular duo. No, no one is impressed that you can go to a movie and not spend any money on concessions.

i can’t even be mad. i clicked into this article. i read it. i did this to me.

BEST NAME IN THE ARTICLE: “Curl Up & Dye”

I think it sets a bad precedent to be a caregiver, someone who could hold the life of patients in her hands, and espouse such racist views.

You seem to have a misconception of the word “freedom.” It does not mean “you can do anything you want without consequence.”

Wellllllll - the First Amendment (and the Bill of Rights in general) are limits on things the government can do to citizens. It’s nice to be able to call Donald Trump a racist, piece of shit without fear of being sent to the gallows. That’s the point of freedom of speech.

This is a form of genocide. Why don’t we just start calling it what it is?

This episode’s grade is so far off, it’s funny.

White people just need to stop trying to rap.

Free speech doesn’t enter into it one way or another. No part of this story involves the Government trying to abridge the first amendment rights of a citizen.

Thats fine and dandy for those who live next to all their friends. My closest friends live thousands of miles away. Not going to my best friends wedding or saying I won’t be in it would be devastating to our friendship. It’s a part of the deal. It’s tough on my wallet. It’s ok to whine.

The thing is we should no be reasonable here. There should be no convo about this. She SHOULD go to jail and it not even a debate. I’m tired of all this “let’s have a discussion” bullshit. Some things just need to be dealt with harshly. This is one of em.

And we’re supposed to feel sorry for the white farmers losing their (stolen) land over there... NOT

You just took me back.
