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.

In 1991 I left Catholicism. That was after I saw that the church, in aggregate (at the time) had yielded about $2b in settlements due to too many years and too many priests touching too many kids.

And here we are almost 35 years later, with the LA Archdiocese getting another settlement levied against them - think it was $600m or $800m this time.

Think I'm about as likely to rejoin as I am to pole vault over the Arc de Triomphe.
