  • I really like the movie experience myself. One, it’s nice to go out (I need every excuse I can on wfh days). It’s a nice little event or date night. I also think paying to go out and being with other people forces one to pay attention, talk less, and scroll on phone less. You get more of the artist’s vision and will probably catch more details. Also, my sound system can’t be that good because I live in a condo with neighbors who would complain if I upped my sound system too much. I also love watching movies with other people sometimes. The experience with a good Marvel movie when other people cheer, or with a comedy or horror and hearing other people laugh or jump is pretty great.

    To me, the main problem is the money. Movie theaters are just so crazy expensive nowadays. Every theater needs to be a luxury experience to make it worth it. Theaters should be enforcing quiet and no cell phones, because it’s crazy to spend that much doe a night out and have someone’s little phone light or talking ruining it.




  • I guess the idea is that he’d have to be convicted of an insurrection? And then Congress or the Supreme Court would have to take him off the ballot?

    I actually get the idea, I just don’t like the inconsistency between this and states deciding their voters (like some not allowing felons). There’s a philosophical inconsistency to it I don’t like about what states control about their own elections. But I also get the fear, because red states would start removing Democratic candidates for no reason.
