The "What's on your mind?" thread

[civiclx]

Wondering if BizCat watched a movie tonight and wondering if he'll get around to watching Den Of Thieves anytime soon. Watched it the other night myself. I was wondering the other day what it's like for actors who aren't used to being around street cats to be on set with 50 Cent? I was never a big fan of his but whatever. But Pacino and DeNiro have acted with him. They've both been in a fair number of gangster flicks and portrayed these mobsters but I don't think either of them have ever met anyone who's been shot more than Curtis lol

I know it has varied update while in enroute but it seems it wouldn't take 3 days or more to get here from New York.

hopefully it gets here.

It's really hard to make a profit on ebay/mercari/letgo etc. unless you have something really unique and are willing to wait for an interested buyer.

Thanks!
My life is so different now from what it started out as from when I first joined this website.
LoL, I would have had the money long ago if it wasn't for this website and my addiction to movies and tv shows.
As it is, this place helped me be informed of better vs worse releases and huge sales.

Wondering if I should “talk” to my store manager tomorrow after our store meeting. Because I’m tired of poor of him talking the talk and not walking the walk when it comes to advancing my career. If you don’t appreciate me, send me to another store where I will be *******

Last night, one of my family members told me that some of the movie theaters are opening, so this morning I look and see that they have, with social distancing considered for available seats.
There's only classic and fairly recent movies, No Black Widow, Mulan or anything like that.
The only movie in Atmos is The Invisible Man, which I've just seen. But Bloodshot is AVX and I wouldn't mind that.
I don't know what the rules are yet and I'll look into it, but I sure miss going to movies and am considering going tonight.

Started working for my current employer in November last year, still haven't had my 90 day evaluation lol, starting to think they're just going to pretend I didn't need one.

Was going to post this in the Vent Your ANGER thread but I've decided I can't let small stuff like this bother me. So some guy was annoyed that I had the gall to cross the street when I had the crossing signal at the same time he wanted to turn left. He mumbled something in Spanish after calling me a curse word and I flipped him the bird. I'm beginning to think everyone who drives a car is unhinged in some way. Maybe I shouldn't bother getting my license

you should join us and be unhinged

seriously I never know how to walk anymore at intersections with idiots who drive. I seem a much better and courteous driver than some.

There is a four way intersection by my house, that I cross frequently. Same thing has happened to me countless times. These fools don't get it, that just like a car, if we got the light, then we have the right away. I've had to be careful. Because these idiots will come straight at you, and almost run you over.

Was walking my dog this morning and some driver sped past me so fast, I was on the side of the road, next to a giant puddle, dog was on a tiny patch of grass with the puddle between us. Dude nearly hit me. Felt the mirror pull/push my sweatshirt. Wind from the car moved muh hair too! I started yelling after them, but they were so far gone already. Speed limit on that road is 15mph!

The Right turn on red rule exacerbates the problem. You're still supposed to yield to pedestrians and only turn when permissible - the rule doesn't grant drivers the right to blow past and only yield to cars. I've had drivers look right past me as they fly down the road.

Traffic signal color be damned if you're at a crosswalk I'll stop and hold up traffic to let pedestrians cross. Its not just common courtesy it's the freaking law. I've actually had cars behind me honk because the light was green, I Just roll my window down and wave at them. **** 'em.

Now if there's no crosswalk, it's considered jay-walking and I won't stop! Funny how much difference a couple lines can make but it is what it is.

At least the heat here means less morons blatantly walking in the street right next to the sidewalk. Funny how the temperature goes up a bit and suddenly all those people with a newfound appreciation for zombie walking are nowhere to be seen.

Isn’t it hard to cross the street in those high heels? They’re probably coming straight at you and in a hurry because of that right skirt you’re wearing

I have 760 DVDs, BDs, 3D BDs, and 4kUHDs for sale.
I need to sell them off and no idea how or where to. ebay isn't any help.

[Gold Ranger]

Since when does amazon do pre-authorizations for pre-orders that aren't out for months?
And for an entire order instead of just the item that will be released first?

You need to figure out time vs money.

You'll get the most value out of selling them one at a time on eBay, but then you'll have to list them, ship them out, and hold on to titles that don't sell.

You could move them quickly in bulk ($1 for DVDs, $3 BDs, etc.). I'd recommend just posting the lot here and make the sale intriguing by not disclosing which titles you have, unless they're all boutiques.

You could move them even quicker by taking them to a pawn shop or a video store, but you won't get much money and they might not even want to buy that many at once, especially if there's a lot of dollar store filler.

unfortunately, i'm thinkin' about tomorrow. my 2 weeks (or 15 days, rather) is up and i return to work, tomorrow. i'm hoping against hope that there won't be any bullshit. but it's retail, so i know there will be...just as there always is. and i also hope that they've got my replacement ready so i can go to the other department.

Yup, check my signature.
