Guilty or Not Guilty

[AsBloodTurnsEverCold]

So very very guilty

Next person has a favorite movie scene they'd like to share.

 

[Minorikawa]

Guilty but it's a pretty big spoiler for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, so if you haven't seen the movie, go watch it first. Or spoil yourself.

The next person hasn't been to the movie theater since before COVID.

[Silver117]

Guilty, have you seen the price for popcorn?!?!

Next person as more than 3 streaming apps (i.e. Disney +, Netflix)

[LEROZERO]

Guilty.

Next person only watches cable.

[IsabellaRose]

Not guilty. I haven't paid for cable since it was an option to not pay for cable. Our local cable company can <expletive deleted>.

 

The next person has a certain company, store, or restaurant to which they refuse to give their business ever again.

Guilty. Many. I have never given Chick-fil-A a penny. I won't do business with Home Depot, Walmart or most of the dollar stores. Most chain restaurants are on my "not on a bet" list, but mostly because there are way too many independent restaurants to try.

I'm with @WickedCadrach.

As for her accusation: guilty, if a wank counts 

Next poster loves McDonald's.

Guilty. The YMCA. I used to use their gym membership, and despite being in an extremely red area, they made an effort to put up signage and cultivate a welcoming atmosphere. Then they changed managers, all the signage was taken down and swapped for crucifixes and swirly text about God. But what cinched it was going in with two friends of mine (workout buddies!), who are a married gay couple, and watching them get harangued at the desk over someone who wanted to start shit over there being two adult men on 'the family plan' membership together and telling them they had to get two individual memberships.  

Bonus round. The Salvation Army. I'll just let you Google why the Salvation Army can go straight to hell, but it takes no small amount of restraint for me not to flip off those bell-ringers collecting donations every Christmas. 

(I did not expect this, but I'm, like, actually shaking right now and need to calm down, )

The next person has a go-to technique they use to calm down when they are angry or upset.

Guilty. Two or three, actually, depending on where I am. The "count to ten, deep breaths" thing works when I'm just upset. When I'm very angry, I have a punching bag hanging in my garage and I beat the ever-loving shit out of it until I'm too tired to be angry. Sometimes just visualization works - imagine myself someplace special, safe, comfortable. My go-to place is actually being stuck in my old car in a rainstorm where you can't see more than two feet outside the windows and the rain is hammering on the roof so loudly even the car stereo won't drown it out. It's like being in another world, and it's from a very specific memory of mine - in that car is my girlfriend, and we have never touched each other that way before, and we are soaked from running to the car, and we make eye contact and just... everything comes together so slowly, so sensually, so amazingly perfect, so private in such a public place, parked on the street, but no one can see us... sigh. It's just such a happy place. That night was just unbridled joy, and if I have time, quiet, and privacy, I can put myself right back there. I'd go back there and relive that moment forever, if I could. Ah, first times. 

 

The next person has a fond memory of a first time doing something.

[Minorikawa]

Not guilty, and it... kind of sucks. Either I've done the thing so many times that my memory has been over-written, or I more remember the feeling of something, but most "first times" that are memorable are only memorable because they ended in disaster or led to disaster. This includes romance and relationships.

Wait! Guilty. I still remember the first time I had crab cakes. They were awesome.

The next person has a guilty pleasure food no one else seems to understand.
