“Desperate AMC theaters will be changing its pricing. Good seats with a clear line of sight are going to cost you more. Yeah, seriously. This is an attempt to get more people to sign up for their Stubs program at $20/month. So basically movie theaters are going to work like concerts or Broadway now?”

I predict AMC will be gone two years from now.

They’ve been closing theaters for over two decades…This move is just sad desperation…It’s a shit idea, likely to hasten their demise.

I used to be a regular customer of AMC, and have many fond memories with them…I’m glad they’re no longer in my area…This would be enough to cause me to stop going.

“So much for that boycott. Hogwarts Legacy’s review embargo is up, and most gaming journalists LOVE the game… but have to disclaim J.K. Rowling or else they will get cancelled by their peers! Some say out loud that they hoped the game wouldn’t be that good so it could be ignored, but most reviewers agree that it’s EXCELLENT. Uh oh, your “friends” are going to scheme against you on Discord…”

Such a sad spectacle…

…I’m glad the game is good.

“If you play Hogwarts Legacy, watch out! A new website lets activists and game journos literally track down which Twitch channels have played the Harry Potter RPG. Then we talk about how Kotaku and Polygon seemingly got shut out of free review copies of Hogwarts Legacy. OOF.”

“In this episode, we speak to Rose, the mother of two boys, who has asked to remain anonymous.

You know what this sounds like to me?…

…It sounds like something that is not so uncommon, being way over analyzed…and tragically institutionalized…

It is said, statistically, that the overwhelming majority of kids questioning their gender, simply grow out of it…and it is a passing phase…

The very fact that there are activist organizations behaving as “professionals”, strongly suggests to me that we have another parasitic industry on our hands.

Here is a thought…

…Maybe, if we all learn to just accept individuals and roll with their changes, we don’t even need “professionals” to tell us what to do?

Acceptance of these kids should be a given…We don’t need to turn the whole thing into a circus.

Where they find their own balance, is where they find their own balance.

Rapture Anxiety: Fearing the End of the World…

“Yes, rapture anxiety is a thing. We explore how End Times dogmas can distort reality and do immense harm, especially to indoctrinated children.

CNN Article: https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/27/us/rapture-anxiety-evangelical-exvangelical-christianity-cec/index.html

This is a fully accurate description…

…The psychological scarring is real…

Even while young and in the church, I Did Not want to start spontaneously floating up into the stratosphere…That sounded horrifying…especially for people scared of heights.

This all went hand in hand with the tribulation movies [“Thief in the Night” may have been them] I’ve discussed in the past…They were literally telling us kids, that we would get our heads cut off by guillotine, if we refused to renounce “our” religion…Literally…if we were in that circumstance and we wanted any chance at “entering heaven”, we would have to endure decapitation, even if we were still young kids.

It is insane and fucked up, what they did to us kids.

It’s one thing to watch a drama about this type of thing…It’s something entirely different, when they’re seriously telling you “This is your future”.

Even if you weren’t among the unfortunate who were rounded up, you’d have to flee civilization, because “you’d be blocked from doing business, if you were christian”…If you “accepted a mark” [required to buy and sell], you’d be “banned from entering heaven”.

None of this was ever based on anything objectively happening…They merely asserted it to be fact.

Nobody should be able to get away with psychologically torturing kids like that.

The fact that many groups do this with impunity, is one of the most grotesque of glaring cultural hypocrisies.

Looking back…I knew there were members of the church salted in, who did not take everything so literal…I looked up to, and even loved of few of these people…Yet, they never refuted this bullshit, when it showed its ugly self.

…Their complicity hurts…It loaned a veneer of credibility, to that warped nonsense.

Re: “Would a loving god do this?”

From everything I know about goodness and decency, no decent being of any sort conceivable, would have a hand in the majority of what the bible attributes to “god”.
