Under that scenario, it’d make more sense to just offer lower ticket prices (which some theaters are doing, like AMC with their $5 Tuesdays).

Anyone who is going to the movies more than once or twice a month is probably not going to regularly drop $50 at the concession stand, though.

They thought it would be like gym memberships- people would buy it and then promptly fail to use it.

Shockingly, watching a movie in a comfy recliner is in no way akin to doing 30 minutes on a rowing machine.

The pay at most of these places is on the level of peanuts. I have masters degree holding coworkers who make $14/hour. At my last job my supervisor made around $22,000/year to work 60+ hours a week (seriously, my wage was laughable, but if I pulled a single shift of overtime a week I would have made more than her).…

The opioid epidemic has led to a large amount of infants and toddlers entering the system from every account I’ve heard.

We need professional, salaried specialized foster parents for hard to place kids (who essentially need a stay at home parent, thus why paying that parent a salary makes logical sense). There is a lot…

I am a social work student. I work in residential youth care, as a teen LIVED in residential youth care, and have worked in multiple settings with both teens and adults (foster care, village style foster care (when foster home are congregated in a neighborhood), adult group homes, etc).

Of my professors, I’ve had one,…

Kids don’t belong in orphanages unless there is literally no other option. Period. These shelters are orphanages for children who are mostly NOT orphans, and they are essentially hidden from the public view.

99% of the employees can be lovely, well trained staff who care about the kids, but all it takes is that 1…

I use to be 5'5" even but APPARENTLY I’m now 5'4.8.5”.

I’m estranged from my father, and it’s incredibly anxiety provoking when he tries to make contact, or people try to make me contact him. So much so that this is the reason I’m not in contact with anyone from that side of my family.

It’s to the point I’m seriously considering changing my last name.

PET PEEVE ALERT:

You’re not pregnant unless you are actually physically pregnant at the same time your wife is (ie: you are transgender or you have the first CIS male pregnancy ever, or you’re a woman named “GillMan”). Your wife is. “My wife and I are expecting” would be the appropriate expression if you want to…

I shaved my long haired cat, too. He hates being brushed and shedding triggered several mats (he rarely has mats despite his hatred for brushing), so whateves. He looks funny as heck tho.

Google told me it should regrow in around 4 months.

I don’t think so. I read the book and I’m mostly good with the show.  This season wasn’t as good as season 1, but that’s not unusual.

It wouldn’t make sense if you missed the last 2 or 3 episodes.

I don’t think he burned his house down. His wife was in it. Plus there were MANY fires that were set and I’m guessing a small exodus of key people. Emily, having come from the colonies, having been a professor, having had unspeakable things done to her makes for a good bit of propaganda for the resistance. As does…

Yeah, I’m gonna have to disagree.

I could not imagine her leaving Hannah. It is incredibly different to leave when pregnant- she was protecting one child, and had no way to protect the other. Since then she has seen Hannah, and Fred dangles the possibility of seeing Hannah again in front of her in this episode. Since…

My brother was visited by a ton of people (a lot of them just random folks who had a costume or a could play guitar, but also some local sportsball folks and branded characters). He LOVED it.

Like seriously, even if you’re just Random Person, if you can don an inflatable t-rex costume or play some cheesy kids songs on…

The nature of brain death means that it’s essentially impossible to restore the actual person. When brain cells are deprived of oxygen they die rapidly, and immediately after their death they lose the “information” they previously stored. Reversing this process is as impossible as it would be to unmelt a showman. It’s…

Yes, they’ve had sex. They used a sheet with a hole in it to make it all godly.

I felt like that scene was overshadowed by the others. It was devastating, though.

If Lutfi wasn’t a variable, I’d probably be about where you’re at.

Given the characters involved, I’d put at a 51% chance this happened, and a 49% chance this guy is delusional.
