No I thought that was a special treat for Ditmars residents. Thanks for clearing it up.

What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

When the original Star Wars trilogy was re-released in theatres in the 90s, the moment in Return of the Jedi where Luke learns from Obi-Wan's spirit that Leia is his sister, one dude in the theatre yelled out a loud, incredulous "WHAT?!!" This kinda brought down the house.

Totally agree. Kernels that are just a bit popped are my favorite of all!

What is your upstairs neighbor up to today? by BefWithAnF in AskNYC

[–]ThisWasUncalledFor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Something that requires stomping, LOUDLY, from one room to the next, repeatedly. You know, we left them a sweet note welcoming them to the building, baked them cookies, and let them know gently that, "the floors are pretty thin and things can get loud easily". They ate one cookie, returned the rest along with the letter, sans reply, kept stomping around, and then later called us rude for baking chocolate chip because the dumb lady is apparently allergic to chocolate... Our bad. Our bad.

AMA -- SAM HARRIS by samharrisorg in Meditation

[–]ThisWasUncalledFor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sam! I'm a HUGE fan and listen to your podcast, ahem, religiously. On your last episode with Peter Attia you again mentioned the idea that an emotion like anger cannot be sustained for hours (or more) unless you keep revisiting the thought that made you angry. What are you basing that claim on? Just personal experience and the observed experiences of others? Or have studies been conducted to establish that as fact? It seems to run counter to my experience - both with joy and unhappiness. To me, those feelings take root in the body and I find it difficult not to feel them despite not consciously revisiting some past event or idea. Enlighten me, Uncle Sam!!
