That’s the argument that it shouldn’t be an enforceable contract. The company is unilaterally establishing terms with no opportunity to negotiate, which is not a valid contract. Unfortunately it seems to be treated as one in our dystopia
I’m currently watching a video about the Qatari bribe of a private 747 (“free” will cost twice as much as the new Air Force one initiated by Obama and will leave with Trump) ……
Apparently Trump’s plan for his library is to build a huge hotel with his Qatari jet bribe in the lobby on a prime lot in downtown Miami that somehow was sold to him for $10 (where’s that bribe investigation ?)
Finally getting to my point …. The way to control Drump for those of us unable to pay massive bribes is to use flattery, play to his vanity and narcissism. We could sidetrack him into paying attention to that hotel and he might just forget about minor things like being president. He’ll, let’s hire some British royal guards to really treat him like royalty, keep his focus on himself
Part of the “problem” is the toll is too low. It seriously undercuts the the Moroun Family Bridge tolls so the fear is it will attract most of the traffic. Think of the poor billionaire who somehow bought a bridge
You wanted consistency? Sure Trump actually did a few things right his first term, but responded to bribes a lot more in his second
That was our one customization
I’ve never heard of anyone playing like that. My understanding was inline with the rules.
So if you hit me with “draw 2”, I can hit you with “reverse”, then next turn can make you “draw 2”
Yeah reverse really doesn’t make sense for two people
Yep, same logic as car brains, same continuously escalating arms race. Fuck everyone else
Ticket windows are always outside (where I am). You don’t even get into the lobby without a ticket
I suppose that’s where advertising the popcorn with chemical pee is important: the movie brought you in, now is the time to extract profit. But that doesn’t work if they’re not getting people in
I agree with the other guy here. I don’t go to the movies often so have no reason to keep up with what is showing. While I know how to look it up, why would I?
Yes, I am an example where advertising what is showing some place I can see it with no friction could make a difference in whether I go
Yes?
Who just walks past the movies and spontaneously decides to see a movie because they saw a poster for it at the movies?
That was a real life scenario where having movie posters visible would sell more tickets, to answer your question
I suppose it depends on your definition but you start calling it as an addiction, treating it as a problem, when it interferes with your life.
By all means, have all the sex you want in whatever variety you want, but it’s an addiction, a problem, when you decide it to the detriment of something else. It’s a problem if it interferes with work or home life or social life or hobbies, or if it causes harm to yourself or others.
There’s usually a signat the ticket booth. Maybe it’s alone, maybe title only,maybe it’s only visible from being at the window …. It’s generally not useful to pick an unexpected/unknown movie.
A good movie poster shows a snapshot of the genre, the basic plot, the main characters, all of which I might use to pick a movie
If it’s inconvenient to see my choices, If they make me go somewhere else, or goto their web site, I’m at least as likely to just leave
This may also be why they overly focus on blockbusters. Without traditional means of seeing what’s playing, I’m only aware of a movie if it’s been heavily advertised. You’d think trying the cheap route would be … cheaper
I guess I’m not the target demographic either then. I don’t think I ever was really, but as a parent of teens, if I do go in, it’s likely to be a family’s worth of tickets.
Maybe you think the rest of us are a minority that doesn’t matter but it seems short sighted to disregard potential customers
I usually goto the theater for a specific show, usually buy the ticket online ….
BUT, there are times, such as when I didn’t get a ticket ahead of time and my show is sold out, where I’m in front of the theater deciding whether to go in. It I see an interesting looking movie, I might see that. If the food advertising worked, it would have the opposite of the intended effect “why don’t we goto a restaurant instead ?”
That may be so, but the popcorn with chemical “pee” has never been what pulls in customers. The movies were always the draw, even if food was the profit. Advertising that food seems short-sighted: who cares if you sell popcorn to a higher percentage of customers but you’re pulling in fewer customers
I just discovered a new function on my car - when I listen to music, a small rectangle appears with audio controls …… apparently it a tile that can be scrolled left and right to see other data. I never would have thought to try that if I didn’t read it somewhere, no visual cues
It’s ruled by clicks, rather than usefulness or friendliness
A significant counter example is click wrap. You can’t see the terms before you buy and you can’t reject it and get your money back.
Every instance of trying to set terms after purchase should be unenforceable in any just society
