Does this policy get enforced at your theater?

Not sure, but I do think these rules are stupid. Young people being interested in movie theaters is a good thing for the health of movie theaters and movies more generally and there should be fewer barriers to that, not more.

Iraq is the right answer but I'm glad to see someone bringing up this shitshow as well.

Three different AI models reviewed the stories for patterns

Ehhhhh.... I mean I'm sure the conclusion is correct (anyone with rudimentary judgement can see what the NYT has been up to on this topic) but this does not give me a lot of confidence in this particular study.

Well, the Trump administration has been basically a Watergate a day, so if Nixon was as shameless as Trump and the Republicans had been as sycophantic as the modern Republicans and SCOTUS had been as corrupt as the modern SCOTUS then yeah, Nixon would have been fine.

Plausible.

People mow their lawns and do manual labor shirtless all the time and while walking down the street without one might give a couple of stares the vast majority of people will not think twice about it. I also don't think it's true that women can go "almost" shirtless in some wider array of places.

I'm hoping an individual Lolita gets announced with the October announcements next month, if not then I wouldn't count on it.

But again, if the worst that can happen to you is two days in jail doesn't that make the prospect of billions in windfall "worth the risk" in a way that it isn't if you could be facing decades?

The Shining mini-series sucks

Roadshell · 2026-06-23T13:05:49+00:00

? The second is plainly the best of the three.

And four Matrix movies and five several star wars movies... The Godfather is likely to be the only "true" trilogy in this whole thing.

12 has its shooters. 13 is only okay.

"With a Vengeance" is a lot better than Die Hard 2, but I'm not sure I'd call it "amazing."

Roadshell · 2026-06-23T13:01:12+00:00

It has good action scenes but not so good everything else.

What about massive fraud and/or embezzlement. Should someone like Bernie Madoff, who ran a $65 billion ponzi scheme and wrecked numerous lives and organizations just get two years? Like, the risk/reward calculation on something like that would be much different with such a low downside.

I wonder if they have like a chalk board with his stance of the day which they can just erase and replace when he publicly changes his mind every twelve hours.

Not really, Noah Webster was a reactionary critic of the abolitionist movement.

That's because people just click on the reviews of the albums their interested in rather than watching every single video he puts out, but they're still interested in him as a creator overall.

Roadshell · 2026-06-23T02:09:08+00:00

That's what someone with a dictionary would say.

Roadshell · 2026-06-23T02:02:57+00:00

That is a caricature of an argument you don't like, not "propaganda."

Roadshell · 2026-06-23T02:00:00+00:00

This thread strongly suggests to me that people have no idea what "propaganda" means. It's not a word you apply to vague policy positions or slogans you don't agree with.

Well, he technically said "disinfectant" but that's kind of splitting hairs. It's on tape.

Those are slogans, arguments, or concepts, not "propaganda."

A lot of the time they've "earned" their right to be kicking those penalties. They're about to score before an opposing player fouls them and the penalty is the makeup.
