The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This was debunked in studies in another thread a couple of days ago

Sorry, but just because somebody YOU label as an expert launches some study doesn't allow you to claim "debunking" anything. The conclusion that you posted is ludicrous on its face.

This particular part - from your link - is especially silly:
pewresearch.org - Violent crime is a key midterm voting issue but what does the data say
Annual government surveys from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show no recent increase in the U.S. violent crime rate.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH. Debunked, my left butt cheek.

seattletimes.com - Seattle violent crime hits year high other takeaways from new report

Seattle violent crime hits 15-year high, and 4 more takeaways from new report

Last year saw the highest violent crime rate in 15 years, with an increase of 729 incidents per 100,000 residents in 2021 compared to 736 per 100,000 residents last year.

Crime rates represent the number of crimes reported relative to the size of the city's population. The actual number of violent crimes reported increased about 4% from 2021 to 2022, according to the report.

The increase in crime overall reflects the spike in violent crime that began in 2020 and shows little sign of dropping back to pre-pandemic levels. Homicides increased by 24% and aggravated assault totals continue to be the highest reported in the last 10 years. The majority of homicide victims died from gun violence.


And this is just what people report. A lot of property isn't being reported right now Because, Why? No one's there to investigate it.

Huh. So much for "debunked". Again, tell me you live in a suburban blue bubble without telling me you live in a suburban blue bubble.
