We've Never Done This Before

Sleep deprivation, oh sweet sweet insomnia. I have work in four hours and here I am awake.

To what Mark said about anger, I'll paraphrase from a psychologist I heard once: "healthy anger is just a boundary defense. Letting someone know you are not ok with them crossing this boundary. The key is expressing anger non-abusively." (Not using physical violence unless in defense, not yelling excessively or being over dramatic.)

The ones that get me are the commercials *for the theater I'm currently sitting in.* I'm here already! PLAY THE FILM.

I've never laughed out loud as much as I did when Wade made the Palpatine joke

Fun fact for Bob, not only is the leprachaun named Lucky, but Cap'n Crunch's full name is Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch

As someone who 1 month ago made an appointment that is 4 months from now with a specialist, and thats the soonest appointment I could get, I too am tired with the American healthcare system. Update: they informed me that the doctor is taking the day I made the appointment off. So instead of late July, it's now going to be late August. I'm exhausted 😩

So decided to look up that movie theatre story some more. This happened in India, with the customer actually being a lawyer. He sued for 50k rupees in damages, then applied another 15k rupees for other things. He was only awarded 20k rupees, though. It also wasn't that he was scheduled to work a shift starting at 6:30 PM but that he scheduled a work call for that time. So it's not that he'd be late: he'd just be able to make/take the call at the time he was supposed to, which he could do immediately upon leaving the theatre. What's significant about this, however, is that movie theatres in India start with public service announcements, supposedly a legal requirement. The theatre chain claims they have to show 10 minutes of public service announcements, yet the complainant said he counted only two public service announcements and 17 commercials. With that all said, it sounds as if the theatre itself suggested the film would end at 6:30 PM. I could be misunderstanding this and it could be that this guy just hasn't been in a movie theatre in a long time and thus he didn't realize there would be that many ads. Hard to say.

Movie theaters: “The movie is about to begin” Me: “YOU SAID THAT 3 TIMES ALREADY!!”
