Does MoviePass work with AMC Stubs? I live in Kansas City and pretty much every theatre is AMC. Obviously it will rack up points for any concessions but does the movie purchase count at all?

I dunno - in the 80s and 90s, sure. But that attitude is dying out fast, national polls are regularly showing around 60% support for recreational cannabis legalization.

Someone that works for with my father did that. He used Nair head to toe. He was pretty pleased with himself when he showed up at the drug testing truck. The guy getting samples asked to see his hand, so the guy says sure, and holds it out. Very quickly, a fingernail was clipped and the piece put into a vile. Yea...…

I was under the assumption that you can only get fired if you LIE during your drug test. Admitting a drug problem usually doesn’t warrant termination.

I’m not a wildlife expert, but it does seem to me like that would make a difference. Binti Jua was carrying her own child on her back when she rescued the boy. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, I’d say she had a maternal feeling toward the child.

I’ve seen people liking and sharing the videos that “reveal the gorilla was trying to protect the boy” and I refuse to watch those. I know they’ve been edited to make it look like that. It’s a tragedy the gorilla had to die. I love animals and wish he didn’t have to be shot but this is not the Jungle Book or Curious…

I’m not the original commenter, but my ex-wife is a biologist, and I accompanied her on quite a few lab excursions through her BA, MA, and PhD experience. Many female animals (e.g., felines, rodents) will kill and eat their young if they experience stress post delivery. Male animals (primates, felines, etc) will…

They also called the gorillas out of the enclosure and he did not comply. What else could they do? Tranquilize him and hope he doesn’t go ape-shit? (bad pun, I know.) Wait and hope he doesn’t hurt the kid? It’s not like they marched up to the enclosure and immediately shot him. This wasn’t a split second decision,…

I doubt the gorilla was being malicious (whether they even have the capability for malice is “above my pay grade,” forgive me for trotting that one out but it’s true), but it was undeniably a hazardous situation for the child. I have yet to read anything that sways me beyond the conclusion that what happened was very…

This. Also, from the time Binti Jua became a mother, she had been trained by zookeepers to hand them her child for medical care. When she carried the young boy to safety, the keepers believed she was exhibiting the results of her training; not instinct.

I am happy for all the psychics but I think that unless we were on scene and were also primatologists we have no fucking idea what the animal was thinking. As someone pointed out what is normal handling for an infant gorilla is fatal for a fragile human.

People are really anthropomorphizing the gorilla’s behavior. I would say most people haven’t seen the full footage and are basing their reaction on the moments when he wasn’t dragging the child around.

It’s actually frightening to me how completely callous people are about the life of a CHILD. I get that gorillas are endangered but good lord.. Valuing an animal’s life over that of a little boy seems sociopathic to me, and yet it's a common reaction to this event.

Yeah, somehow I imagine the zookeeper who shot the animal was in a far better position to judge whether the gorilla’s behavior was threatening, what with being there in person and, oh yeah, having actual training in working with gorillas + real life experience dealing with this particular gorilla. I also imagine that…

I was going to say the same thing.

my PC dies early, every time... my Mac, I’ve had no major problems. I’ve messed up the OS, reinstalled it, had my stuff backed up, and it works like new... no issues. Each time this happened on my PC, the hard drive/SSD, the heat sinks, etc... all got out of whack and shortened the life of the PC... no similar issues…
