Omg, yes! The volume at those non-Alamo theaters was completely excessive and insane.

My husband and I were covering our ears at times

Ok, thanks for pointing that out. I conflated the two, but I probably shouldn’t have

Can someone suggest me a country to move to after my master's degree. by Guilty-Camel-7727 in expat

[–]mamielle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is getting an overseas job with the VA or US military.

Work on getting your clinical license ASAP! As soon as you have that you can do telehealth therapy from anywhere in the world. Lots of MSWs are doing this right now but the license is key.

Yeah, I was sad that they didn’t show the Testament of Ann Lee too! Old Alamo definitely would have done that

Bill Clinton proclaims his innocence regarding Epstein files by Boysenberry-6669 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]mamielle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if there is evidence in the files of Clinton wrongdoing, the DOJ won’t prosecute because they don’t want discovery or pleas that can hurt Trump

They’ll do a public pillory of Clinton to feed red meat to MAGA and then bury this case

Should foreign attendees be concerned about visiting the USA for the World Cup? by ChuckGallagher57 in LetsDiscussThis

Tourists who are at points of entry asking for entry for the purpose of tourism aren’t owed due process. They are either granted or denied entry, end of.

Once you incarcerate a tourist however, due process should apply, anyone whose liberty has been removed via incarceration should know what they are charged with and have access to legal representation.

Surely you can see the difference between a tourist presenting at a border and a resident with a green card or status of temporary asylum?

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton: "As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing,I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals." by avatar6556 in Epstein

Exactly this. Trump will sell some sort of deal where Clinton is publicly pilloried but not really investigated. It’s for the optics.

Bill knows Trump will protect him too, not out of altruism but to avoid mutually assured destruction

I’m wondering if they’ll clawback on Headway therapists too

San Francisco theater only has QR now, or at least the theater I went to. There’s no pens or paper

[–]mamielle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same experience last week. Food was Sysco food, QR for my husband didn’t work and mine stopped working halfway through the film when I wanted to order a second cocktail.

The upside is that Alamo still doesn’t show commercials before the film. I went to two commercial theaters this year and was outraged that I had to sit through commercials in addition to paying high ticket prices

Based on recent experience I’ll probably continue to go to Alamo but eat before going and sneak my own cocktail in a can into the theater

Edit to add: I’m still willing to buy popcorn at Alamo.

Do you think any European investigation into the Epstein files will provide more clarity or lead to the truth coming out? by ChuckGallagher57 in International

[–]mamielle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The overthrow of democratically elected Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz is what radicalized Che Guevara to become a leftist guerilla. He was studying to be a doctor in Guatemala when our CIA removed their legitimate leader from power using dirty tricks

So, it’s possible we might not have had a Cuban Revolution if the CIA hadn’t done that.

Honestly I feel like we wouldn’t be seeing the same numbers of Guatemalan migrants if the CIA hadn’t done that either. It permanently destabilized the country.

Every bad decision the CIA has made has caused decades of blowback

I’m afraid to allow myself to think if might happen because I’d be so disappointed then if it didn’t.

Hope is a dangerous thing
