So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.

Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?

Yeah he's going to exploit the shit out of that mugshot. Bet it'll be on the cover of his newest memoir. Do they let people smile in their mugshots nowadays? I'm seriously hoping they don't at Fulton.

Anecdotal, but it seemed like 80% of the time it was the poorer folks doing this shit. Have a sister with 4 kids, super close to welfare level and her and her kids do this shit (mostly her kids do this and she just lets them). Shes just tired and inattentive all the time. What I've noticed gets her attention is when a store clerk or other customer calls them out and shames them.

So public shaming may help the problem, but in today's world some of these people may turn rabid Mama bear on you. Some stores make you count items on hangers going in and then going out. That actually might work. But I'd rather see societal behavior change instead.

Side note: My sister has worked years of retail before so no idea how tf she does this.

Used to work retail so I feel this. Crazy thing is that sometimes it only takes one or two customers (and their gremlin children) to cause this kind of chaos. I'd go into fitting rooms and shit would be thrown all over the floors. Every now and then there would be extra surprises...like food or drink containers, or used diapers, or urine in the wastebasket. Fun times.

Uhhmm this could be one of two scenarios...

People in Hawaii are deadly serious about their Spam. It is a high-theft item so places like Walmart typically lock them up.

Let me tell you how much I love to play the game of choices that I have to make very publicly and abruptly on the roads... Ashamed to say, but 9 times out of 10 I'll make the dangerous, but more convenient one.

Sucks to say but hopefully some climate change policy will eventually incentivize by law to have businesses to accomodate more things on 2-wheels.

Honestly did not know that. I guess this makes sense with cars pulling up to turn onto roadways whereas on the roads you're already visible.

Would love to use bike lanes more, but also hope they're at least consistent and have enough of a space buffer from vehicle traffic to feel safe.

Yeah I've discovered the non bike-friendly stores and venues in my area recently since getting an ebike in an attempt to be more eco-friendly. I absolutely hate it and I'll just go to another store - I'm not locking my bike a block away. Tangential rage: bike paths or sidewalks that abruptly end, pushing me out onto a 45mph road in order to continue on my way. Shitty businesses and garbage city planning to blame.

YES. I leave anything deep fried to the pros and their kitchens for cleanup.

Found the same results from eating out! A lot of times I'll just have the small leftover portion from lunch for my dinner.
