Awhile back, I started tracking the time between the listed showtime and the actual start time of the movie. I logged them all and I would post it on Twitter. Then, Elon bought Twitter and I sort of abandoned the project (and Twitter).

At AMC (where I see most movies because it’s near me and they have a monthly pass), pre-roll/previews are 15-30 minutes long. The bigger and newer a movie is, the longer it is. Most tend to be around 20-25 minutes.

I started showing up 21 minutes late to most of them but I would usually be right on time for the start of the film.

I didn’t hear about that one almost at all and I go to the theater every week.

I only knew about it because I like the director and go out of my way to look up interesting movies.

Art of the deal.

Not banned. I chose Lemmy because I’m a big believer in the ideas of the fediverse and I want it to succeed.

I do still have to use Reddit occasionally to look up info that hasn’t made it here yet, but I don’t post or comment there.

How was it? This is my favorite food. I’ve tried t make it a few times but I haven’t gotten it right.

This is the kind of shit that leads to nationalism over patriotism. Blindly teaching kids to pledge allegiance without teaching them what comes with that or why.

Fun fact! “Fun”, actually.

Under God wasn’t in the original version. It wasn’t added until 1954 because they didn’t to be like communist countries and be seen as a secular government.

Good old fashion forcing religion on your citizens.

I found this out when researching care for my grandparent. You have to spend all of the money before they can be eligible for certain types of care. They make you get rid of it all or forfeit it.

Fez! I love the low stress puzzle game. I think it’s beautiful and smart. I love that it was made by one guy. It’s too bad he got burnt out and quit. He is very talented.

Not a cat, but I adopted a dog whose name was Doc. I started calling him Docky and that became Ducky and then he started responding to that so now that’s his name.

He has a brother named Dexter that I obviously call Goose lol

Thanks. Crazy how AMP was supposed to make it faster but instead it’s twice as slow.
