Went through hundreds of boxes this morning in storage, and I must have breathed in a gallon of dust. I've been coughing and tasting dirt all damn day.

According to the article, unless I misread, he was cured of HIV, not AIDS, which is a pretty significant difference. It's good news, no doubt, but someone's life expectancy is hardly affected by HIV at this point, whereas AIDS is still a death sentence.

It's still a huge piece of news, I think, and something that gives hope to many.
Like the article says at the end, a cure is not something that's coming today or tomorrow, but, again, this gives us hope.
The Alamo Drafthouse is awesome. They play this before their movies.

I love the Magnited States of America.
I hate texters and whatever in the theater, but that's douchy.
She's obviously lying, but if someone needs to use a cellphone to find their seat, I'm fine with that. Otherwise they're tripping over people, and causing more of a ruckus.
On the Alamo blog, Tim League said she was warned twice about it, and they kicked her out when she texted for the third time.
They also regularly put out PSAs like this before movies. One has Danny DeVito threatening to rip out your tongue if you open your mouth during a movie. So the "I didn't know" thing is fucking bullshit. Or she's one of those awful people who show up to a movie 10 minutes in.
Here's what he wrote:

As many of you know, I really can't abide people who talk during a movie. A couple of years ago I was accosted in the Village parking lot by a patron who was warned for talking in a movie. I've nearly come to blows more than a few times over the years with rude customers over the same issue.
When we adopted our strict no talking policy back in 1997 we knew we were going to alienate some of our patrons. That was the plan. If you can't change your behavior and be quiet (or unilluminated) during a movie, then we don't want you at our venue. Follow our rules, or get the hell out and don't come back until you can.
Recently, we had a situation where a customer persisted in texting in the theater despite two warnings to stop. Our policy at that point is to eject the customer without a refund, which is exactly what went down that night. Luckily, this former patron was so incensed at being kicked out, she quickly called the office and left us the raw ingredients for our latest "Don't Talk or Text" PSA. You can check it out below, or come to the Alamo this weekend where the video will be playing before all of our R-rated movies.
Ma'am, you may be free to text in all the other theaters in the Magnited States of America, but here at our "little crappy ass theater," you are not. Why you may ask? Well, we actually do give a f*$k.
Sincerely, Tim League founder/CEO Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
All you have to do is wait a little while for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. When you're the one who is late, it is reasonable behavior to do as much as you can to not inconvenience those around you further. Using your phone as a light is selfish.
Ehh, really just depends on the film. If it's a brightly lit scene it's easy to find your seat. If the whole first half of the film is set at night it can be very difficult.Quote:

So my ex-wife and I spent the weekend together cleaning out our old house as the auction date draws near (just TAKE THE HOUSE, PLEASE!), and we both told each other that we're seeing other people. And we got along just fine and had fun hanging out.
Weirdest divorce ever.
You had divorce sex didn't you?Quote:
