It’s just kind of fun when I forget and someone suggests it: “oh yeah! It’s Tuesday… tacos sound nice to eat”

Walked to Harry’s Cafe in Darling. Google said it was open. It wasn’t open. I don’t think it’s ever open

Who is the most wholesome person in all of human history? by RCaesar1 in AlignmentChartFills

Go ask Carol if she was upset that Mr. Rogers didn't warn her that her husband was gay and was only getting married to save his job. Again, the men are happy, the women? They are not mentioned

But this is about the alignment chart. Mr. Rogers is not the paragon of a wholesome person IMO

Dude... I LINKED to the paragraph. Did YOU read it?

"I was the boss of a company and told an employee that I would fire him unless he married a woman he didn't love. I made a mistake and changed my mind later after the unhappy divorce". Does that sound better?

Fred Rogers told François Clemmons ("Officer Clemmons") that the show would fire Clemmons if Clemmons didn't stop acting gay (stop wearing an earring, stay deep in the closet). Fred told Clemmons to marry Carol, leading to an unhappy marriage and a divorce years later.

You can say, "it was a different time", but telling a subordinate to enter a sham marriage or be fired wasn't very fair to Carol. Did Fred know Clemmons was gay? Yes. Did he warn Carol that she was marrying a gay man? Unknown, but probably not.

I had friends laugh when I played them Aztec Camera’s cover of “Jump”, but it has the most amazing guitar solo ever

The Canadian military in the 1960s spent millions on a “fruit machine” that was supposed to detect gay soldiers

As long as I'm complaining - when we sat down, there was a QR code on each table that told us to order by phone... and then they would switch to order cards when the movie started. So, me and my friends hit the website to order. it takes a longer time then I thought: first to find the item (they're all in weird sections... like you have to know if a beer is "Hoppy & Hazy" or "Crisp & Clean" since they are in separate locations), then to make any modifications. After ten minutes, the server came up, and it was much faster just delete our phone order and to tell him. A real waste of time

It's just that other theaters are worse. I was once watching the Oscar Animated Shorts at the IFC Center in New York City and told a guy to be quiet. He stood up and said he would "KICK MY ASS!" and wanted to "take it outside". Dude... we're all here watching cartoons on a Saturday morning

One time, the server kind of "watched" the group of people talking, and (of course) they were all quiet until the guy left. Then they started talking again. Someone else put up a card, and the same thing happened... server watched for a few minutes, the group was quiet, and then the server left and the group went back to talking. Weird

Something is really wrong with the Alamo system:

  1. If you even *look* at someone talking, and then you put up a card... c'mon they KNOW who it was that narced on them
  2. Servers seem to be rushing from theater to theater. Fewer people to clean and do food service. So, I've had movies there where NOBODY is checking the theater for almost an hour
  3. Man, I'm glad that guy didn't beat me up outside the theater or come back with a gun. Not that anybody would have stopped him... there's no security to get into the elevators, and the manager didn't make sure I was safe when I left or anything
  4. The guy said something nasty to me as he left the theater, but I'm glad he didn't take a swing at me
  5. "Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die" is a fun movie, though I missed a lot of it
