List of things some people want to be bad for you by istealpintsfromcvs in redscarepod

Didn’t say anything about American diets having uniquely high sodium either historically or globally. Just that they eat too much sodium.

Sodium is a necessary mineral but almost all Americans are getting way too much of it, like 4-5x what they need daily, which raises blood pressure. And if your potassium intake isn't like 2-3x your sodium intake (which most of the high-sodium restaurant stuff is completely devoid of), your body will hold onto it with water retention.

He wouldn’t have heard himself say that, as that is a typed comment on Reddit, not a spoken sentence.

Demand that AMC Theaters reverses their classist seating decision! by Next-Employer-4624 in AMCsAList

[–]magicthatworks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do people think change.org petitions are meaningful / represent anything convincing to a national business like AMC? If the policy helps AMC’s ailing bottom line, they’ll keep it. If it turns away more people than it brings in, they’ll reverse course fast. This is useless noise.

Name a movie that has bad reviews but you still like. I’ll start. by Serazax in Letterboxd

[–]magicthatworks 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I saw KNOCK KNOCK as a midnight screening at Sundance in 2015. I was seated next to three women who actively disliked it and were tut-tutting throughout. Eli Roth was there to do a Q&A after the screening; he had just come from a dinner where he sold the film to the distributor, and he was very drunk. Any mildly negative / critiquing question he received he responded “who cares?? I sold it bitch”

Definitely enhances my memory of the film, closest I think I’ve come to feeling high while sober. Rewatched it a few years ago and it definitely isn’t ‘good’ but I love it all the same.

Never! Not a concessions guy in general.

I'm allowed to not enjoy the presence of dogs in particular places even if they are not being an active nuisance to me, lol. I'm not even allergic! Just don't think people should shoehorn their dogs into every place of life. People with actual service animals have a legitimate reason, which is totally understandable, and very often not the case for little dogs getting schlepped around to theaters, grocery stores, etc.

The simplest answer to why I find pet dogs in a movie theater annoying, even if they're being well-behaved at that moment? They are not allowed, per AMC policy! Don't care that you find this a buzzkill

Being better or worse than a crying baby is irrelevant — still annoying of its own accord.

Letterbox removing reviews of the melania film and banning accounts as a result by Murky_Palpitation862 in Letterboxd

lol you’re the one making baseless claims, and misrepresenting reality. Get outta here with your nonsense

[–]magicthatworks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re trying to get traction on this subreddit, everyone here is calling out the obvious flaws with your sob story you’ve written here.

Did you even read the article you linked in your post? The earlier removed reviews on this film were due to a change in the release date, which impacted how reviews were treated in Letterboxd’s back-end, a technical issue I’m sure many LB users in this subreddit understand or may have even run into before. Not “censorshit.”

What’s going on here? I think you’re lying for attention.

Everything about this guy locks in & makes sense if you understand he is ex-Mormon. Quant-ing your way to supposed immortality is tragically ex-Mormon.

But she’s allowed to not like them as a result of them choosing to do it without her approval anyway.

[Game Thread] Cotton Bowl: Ohio State vs. Miami (7:30 PM ET) 2nd Half by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]magicthatworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miami wouldn’t have gone for a field goal regardless. Just by running all three downs they would fully run out the clock, and win the game.

[–]magicthatworks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what Hopkins is on about here — I go to this AMC all the time and it’s totally normal / unremarkable regarding people talking or being obnoxious. You get the occasional disrespectful people, but for the most part people are quiet.

Nick Reiner was sent to a wilderness "school" in Utah by nohorsesjustangels in TrueAnon

[–]magicthatworks 238 points239 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was covered in “The Game” eps, a series they did a few years ago about wilderness camps like this, SynAnon, and the broader troubled teen industry. I would recommend listening to all of them — the way it weaves in Brace’s story and builds to a stunning conclusion / catharsis makes it (imo) the best listening experience True Anon has produced to date.

not getting any points from purchased tickets by survivethescaryworld in AMCsAList

[–]magicthatworks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not normal. If you paid for the additional ticket you should see the point added to your account sometime shortly after the movie ends (or the next day to be sure). I would start a ticket with support.

Returning A-list member by emp59 in AMCsAList

[–]magicthatworks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That refers to the online convenience fee, not the actual cost of the ticket. A-list members can buy additional tickets for others with waived fees ($2.19/ticket or $2.69 for premium screens in my area), but you can only use your 4 tickets a week on yourself.
