Gatts posted:Corporations like Disney and guys like Bloomberg and Bezos probably view themselves as bigger than any singular country and a state of their own I assume. The US is becoming small to them. I keep saying half jokingly that Amazon and Disney are going to be the first real world equivalents to the AAA Corps from Shadowrun. All they are missing are the private militaries and being literally recognized as sovereign states until themselves.

All they have to do is issue the Stormtroopers real guns and we’re all set. In fact, given the chicanery that goes on in the parks and Disney cruises, gently caress it. They are a state now.

ruddiger posted:I heard an ad on the radio this morning trying to get people to go out to the theater to watch Tenet and I was like tf is wrong with these psychos The hell they expect? If the studio was smart they should've delayed it until next summer. https://deadline.com/2020/09/tenet-broken-hearts-gallery-warner-bros-sony-weekend-box-office-1234575805/ To preface, theaters here are only 25% capacity. Even for an IMAX laser room that holds more people, it was the cleanest I've ever seen a theater with plenty of space between moviegoers. That said, the low capacity thing was gonna tank the numbers anyways. Just keep it running exclusively in theaters for a full year and it'll make its money back. At least it's a movie that warrants a rewatch.

It's not a rumor, it was the policy to contact security first at least at Disneyland until 2000 when a four year old boy was caught and dragged under the Roger Rabbit ride and later investigations revealed that more than five minutes passed between the accident and when actual medical services were called. The kid suffered for something like ten years in a semi-vegetative state before passing away.

I worked in a warehouse, and the policy was if there was a need to call 911, you were to call security (which meant finding a phone, which were only in the supervisors' offices) and then security would call 911.

When I worked on a 100 building campus we had a policy like this. Security calls 911 and meets responders to escort them to correct place

Rageaholic posted:Good enough to go to a theater during a plague to see? I'd say so. I went to an afternoon showing at a big multiplex. I picked the largest theater possible. There were 6 other people in a room built for hundreds. I felt like the danger was way less than I face at work every day. The closest human to me was at least 30 feet away. I wore my mask the entire time. I called it a "theater movie" because for me there's theater movies and the rest. Theater movies are the ones you should watch on a big screen if you can. For instance I did see The Personal History of David Copperfield two weeks ago, and it was amazing, but you could get just as much enjoyment out of it on a small screen as a big one. Tenet is a theater movie. Seriously the virus is real and it's hosed up but if you take precautions and see a film while wearing a mask in a giant room with 10 people or fewer what's wrong with that?? Don't be a bunch of joyless scolds.

I don't think grocery shopping has ever taken me *checks notes* 2 hours and 30 minutes. I know what a theater movie is, but I've got a 4K TV and floorstanding speakers. I think I'll be alright doing this: Regretful Humming posted:So wait for the rental and put on captions.

Maybe it's because I still have to go into work 5 days a week but I would go spend two hours in a theater. Most of them anymore let you see what seating is like before you go so you can see exactly how packed it is and if it's going to be hell or not. Like my daily interactions are with people who have driven through multiple states and sometimes come from across the border. Most of them don't wear masks and have very strong opinions about the whole mandate . I'll press my luck with a movie
