  • See, I’d get a group of friends together and just go to loudly make fun of and criticize the film the whole way through if it’s that unpopular. If you know nobody is there because they actually want to see it, then it’s not like you’re disturbing anyone’s experience. And if you are, it’s probably someone who deserves it.

    Smuggle in your own snacks and I bet it’d be worth the free admission just for the possible dirty looks you’ll get from any maga in the audience, to hell with whether they pay out the money or not – and if they ask you to leave: “but I was told I had to stay in my seat the whole time, will you still be paying me my $50 if I go?”. And if for some strange reason they do, all the better.





  • I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but “donald trump cannot [xyz] because [abc]” is not a phrase that has meaning anymore in this country, as far as I’m concerned. It’s worth less than “liberty and justice for all”, and those words are cheap here, nowadays.

    Literally how many times does this have to play out before people recognize the pattern? I have lost fucking count.

    >talking heads on TV: “donald trump cannot do the thing because it would not be allowed”

    >donald trump: does the thing anyways

    Not to mention, trying to think like Donald Trump, I can think of several actual tangible “advantages” trying to do exactly this would confer: 1. He could recruit the freshly pardoned racist murderer into his personal goon squad of racist murderers, ICE. 2. It would cause needless pain and suffering to the family of Massey, and the cruelty is the point. 3. It would invoke a media shitstorm on the left, while the right would paint it as “owning the libs” and “supporting our brave officers”, the usual horseshit. And finally, it would be further unlawfully expanding the power of the executive branch, something he has been doing literally all year.

    If I’m wrong, I’d love to hear how.






  • it’s just the usual “hurr durr anything smaller than .45 is for girls” bullshit. Usually espoused by the sort of ancient old farts who remember carrying one in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam; and who dislike the general shift to smaller bullets going faster because they don’t understand terminal ballistics.
