And it’s ok to strategically vote for the least bad option rather than empowering the most bad option while still acknowledging the system is broken

I mean all those in browser games required shockwave, flash, or java which basically was malware but we didn’t know better then

That’s the concept of voting with your wallet and that’s something we should do more of. Neither way is correct, but if enough people were to vote with their wallet, we could have “quiet please” and “audience participation encouraged” niches being filled by smaller theater operators instead of soulless corporate owned megaplexes.

If I had multiple bad experiences I definitely would consider stop watching movies in theaters.

If enough people stopped watching then theaters would go out of business for everyone so I understand why they are trying to crack down on disruptive viewers

I wouldn’t expect a children’s movie to be silent because kids are still learning how to act in public. The Minecraft movie is not one that would care that much about.

I also don’t think a movie theater is the place for audience interaction, a live show for certain kinds of entertainers or certain sporting events are a more appropriate venue for that.

Not that your preferences in theatre energy are wrong but I don’t agree that you ought to get to be loud because my enjoyment is not more important than yours. Some people get enjoyment out of teasing or trolling others. If your enjoyment is negatively impacting my enjoyment then it’s not acceptable in my opinion. That’s the social contracts. You can still enjoy a movie without being disruptive. Or you can be disruptive as much as you want in a private showing.

Movie theaters rely on an intact social contract for them to work. These movies aren’t filmed in front of a live studio audience, the actors can’t pause to wait for audience reactions. If I spend $20 for a ticket for a single viewing and miss a line because of people talking, being on their phone, air otherwise acting a fool. I’d be upset, I’m sure plenty of people are asking for their money back because of disruptions during the showing. If a theater becomes known for disruptions then they will lose customers and go out of business.

Talk about bait and switch headline

Chemical castration is preferable to how most people think you ought to be punished so I’d take the medication bro

I mean it points and clicks. The one major thing it needs to do. It pairs easily and works perfectly over low latency Bluetooth. Which is something you can’t say about every Bluetooth mouse or other wireless mice that use a 2.4Ghz dongle.

Yeah there are better mice for the money but you can buy the Magic Mouse and know it’s going to work, despite it being designed for style over function.

The Magic Mouse is fine, good even for gesture control. The charging port is the biggest offense imo.

If you aren’t having fun there is no shame in that. I feel the same way about Sun and Moon.

I am sure that there is a lot those games do right, like the island challenge instead of gyms and a different kind of elite 4 and other things but the early game is so boring that I don’t care to get that far.

I hate to tell you that you gave up too early but most of the good things about emerald happen after the 5th gym when you get surf (the expanded story from ruby and sapphire, the battle frontier, improved gym leader teams and rematches, etc)

Gen 3 has so many trainers so you shouldn’t be underleveled with probably the only exception being the 5th gym. The only trainers between the 4th gym and the 5th are 5 or so in the desert and the gym trainers. The gym leader also uses 3 fully evolved pokemon. If you don’t have a strong super effective move (which is likely) then that fight will be a challenge.

The rest of the game I don’t think is that hard, the 7th gym is probably the next difficulty spike but I won’t tell you.

Some pokemon are also just not good and so you probably shouldn’t bother using them. It’s not like in later games where even if a pokemon is weak you can use the power of friendship and drugs to power boost it until it can fight anyway.
