    Everyone with an internet connection can "afford to see a movie". Or are you asking to be able to afford to pay for a movie ticket at an overpriced cinema?

      Being judgemental is one of the great things about life, that's why it's one of the seven deadly sins

        Assuming that's a site for free streaming of movies but sometimes I just want to go to a theater and relax. I mean, granted, I probably should have made the title "I just want to afford rent" considering I'm going to be homeless tomorrow but I didn't think that'd be as funny.

        Also there’s a ceetain point where the movie thing hits harder. Rent is really expensive and people are needing to get more roommates or live with their parents to afford the super high prices but a movie is once a month is cheap and shouldn’t have a big enough impact to hurt to bad, yet it does. It’s absolutely absurd that we live in a world where people need to count their pennies.

        Also, good luck, I hope “homeless” doesn’t mean “on the street”. Keep safe my guy.

          I used to love going to the movies, but theaters are just a shit experience these days. People on their phones, people talking. Nobody has any fucking manners anymore.

                Yeah exactly. Going to a movie shouldn't need to be something that is budgeted into place.

                As for homeless meaning being on the street... yeah. Probably. I'm waiting for a few phone calls at the moment but things aren't looking good. Also doing some other stuff on the side. Posted the memes and answering comments in between so my heart doesn't explode from the stress. My watch has been freaking out about a high BPM for a while now. And I'm frustrated because this was fucking avoidable if someone did the thing I said to do repeatedly. But they didn't and here we are.

                          “Going to see a movie” or “see a movie” is pretty universally understood as meaning “to go to the movie theater.”

                            Just bought a house after years of hunting. I'm /absolutely/ building a home theater in the basement to enjoy my home media server from once I can afford it in...17 years or so, assuming society hasn't collapsed by then.

                              And, if it has, then you can just dedicate your former neighbors' homes to whatever projects you like! So much room for activities!

                                As an autistic person who sees information sharing as more valid and respectable than affirming possible ignorant perspectives for the sake of obtuse social saliency, all I see is a fact and a valid question.

                                Also valid advice for those with money.
                                If you can save money from a theater ticket to another Disney slop live action remake, and donate that money to independent artists trying to survive and simultaneously have a voice despite the Disney/warner types stranglehold over sellable cinema for most public spaces.

                                People get so upset when anything questions their current trajectory, rather than saying "oh yeah, that's a valid perspective to avoid the issue in context."

                                And gets a lot of autistic people yelled at for doing their job or trying to help, IMO.

                                Is there a reason the advice and question aren't valid? To me the only rudeness here is in the framing of the rebuke.

                                This isn't trying to one up anyone, this is an attempt to communicate, and improve people's ability to communicate.

                                I've even seen doctors excuse bullying of autistic children because the child joined discussion of test scores without pandering to the ego of people that were socially affirming how terrible the test must be, due to their performance.

                                At this point people need to start trying to understand the double empathy problem, because it's valid for more cases of communication differences than just autism.

                                Thank you for reading!

                                        Honestly I've seen little to none of that. I don't go that often, but at least like 4x/year

                                          As an autistic person who sees information sharing as more valid and respectable than affirming possible ignorant perspectives for the sake of obtuse social saliency, all I see is a fact and a valid question.

                                          Also valid advice for those with money.
                                          If you can save money from a theater ticket to another Disney slop live action remake, and donate that money to independent artists trying to survive and simultaneously have a voice despite the Disney/warner types stranglehold over sellable cinema for most public spaces.

                                          People get so upset when anything questions their current trajectory, rather than saying "oh yeah, that's a valid perspective to avoid the issue in context."

                                          And gets a lot of autistic people yelled at for doing their job or trying to help, IMO.

                                          Is there a reason the advice and question aren't valid? To me the only rudeness here is in the framing of the rebuke.

                                          This isn't trying to one up anyone, this is an attempt to communicate, and improve people's ability to communicate.

                                          I've even seen doctors excuse bullying of autistic children because the child joined discussion of test scores without pandering to the ego of people that were socially affirming how terrible the test must be, due to their performance.

                                          At this point people need to start trying to understand the double empathy problem, because it's valid for more cases of communication differences than just autism.

                                          Thank you for reading!

                                          It is the framing, yes. The second half reads as telling OP that it's bad to want to go to the theatre in a conscensing way.
