Reply to comment by n33bulz in This candy store in Vancouver leaves their empty cash register drawer on display after hours to deter break-ins. by PapaCologne

Several stores in Toronto started leaving their doors open at night and cleaning out their stock because the meth heads were smashing in $5000 windows to get to the empty cash registers. It was weird walking past an empty but open store.

And yet the meth heads would smash their windows anyways because meth.

Reply to The Metro is the reason my car stays in the garage for weeks at a time. Without it, I would be driving 3-4 days a week. How much more frequently would you be driving if it weren’t for the Metro? by SuperBethesda

We’re in Brookland so we grocery shop in Hyattsville typically. I drive my car for about 30 minutes total every Sunday to do so. Not as impressive as you OP but I love that I’m only in it for 2ish hours a month now.

Everything else is metro (special shout-out H8 bus) all the way!

Reply to Why do so few American movies let foreign language speaking characters speak their own language? Why does everything have to be in English... by _wyfern_

Besides marketability, film is a visual medium, and you want to be looking at the actor, not at the bottom of the screen.

Consider Better Call Saul, and >!Nacho's death scene. Logically, all the characters there should be speaking Spanish, but you want to focus on the rage on Nacho's face as he curses Hector. Plus, not all the actors in the scene speak great Spanish, so better to keep it in English.!<
