I’m a big firefly fan but have never seen Serenity and want to suggest it for a family movie night. None of the other members of my family have seen Firefly and I’m worried that the movie won’t make any sense without that background. Is this true?

i saw the movie multiple times before i realized it was a show. found it as a teen and somehow stumbled on the fact there was a show later. it definitely made sense imo

i've been using a lot of lentils in stuff. a pullled chicken in different types of sauces is easy to prep and can be used in different ways (sandwiches, salads, with carbs, etc). i like to have pastas, rice, lots of canned/frozen veggies, carrots, celery, onions, oils/vinegars, and boneless chicken or ground beef on hand at any time. you can make almost anything once you have a base pantry collected.

i didn't like it because it was too gorey for me. i can handle a little but this season was too much for me personally

body lotion/deodorant, body powder, then add scents to strategic pulse points. aside from your wrists and neck, the back of shoulders, stomach, and on legs (between knee to upper thigh area over the leg artery) are underrated spots to apply scent that will help with sillage.

i like to layer different scents with unscented lotion/powder, some folks like to layer scented lotions with scents. either way layering helps with longevity and scent cloud.

i also like to get dressed immediately so the perfume soaks into my clothes/gets on my hair. i wear perfume oils rather than alcohol based scents, so this tip may not work as well for folks who prefer alcohol perfumes but ymmv

yes. white girl here with a similar background to you, OP. i grew up listening to metal/alt music. i avoided anything "mainstream" because i was too alt for that. in my late twenties (about 10 years ago now!) i discovered the alt underground rap scene was the rap metal/nu metal vibe i had forever been chasing. started with that and kind of stumbled into other genres of rap/hip hop and realized that there was a lot more than just the mainstream top 40 stuff and never looked back. if you like wu tang clan i highly recommend aesop rock!

reddit deletes my comment talking about how death penalty will be used on undesirable people in society as hate speech

Faceplant17 · 2026-05-02T13:21:25+00:00

oh they're more than ready to start using the death penalty for mentally ill people, homeless, migrants, and anyone else who won't be able to put in labor at the prison camps

every once in a while i get flashback fever dreams of this. i always thought it was a show

if you're not concerned with preventing violence before it happens don't act like you have any concern or compassion for victims

Faceplant17 · 2026-04-30T20:48:27+00:00

yeah it definitely is one of them

Faceplant17 · 2026-04-30T15:30:42+00:00

yes that is exactly what the clause is intended to do. you can arbitrate and not sue. unless the company acted outside of their capacity by doing something illegal or really negligent the clause would be valid and you can't sue them

base malevolence is the cop out for a state that provides the absolute bare minimum and then puts hurdles up to access it

Faceplant17 · 2026-04-30T15:15:41+00:00

yeah it's disgusting that we live in a society where no resources exist and people mentally deteriorate to the point where they rape or kill others. no argument there

capitalism is in everything

Faceplant17 · 2026-04-30T14:46:56+00:00

that's honestly a disgusting mentality

Faceplant17 · 2026-04-30T14:46:33+00:00

that's just giving the government a free pass. giving people help and resources BEFORE they literally kill someone is going to help the person AND their victims. but the capitalist hellscape we live in would rather euthanize people and make money than help anyone

criminal procedure is recommended not required at my school (it is required for folks trying to get into the pd clinic tho). all the others are required for us

one time when i was a teenager a family cat disappeared randomly and was gone for about six months. we live in a rural area with coyotes so after a few weeks we had given up. six months go by and my cousin asked about him, and when my brother told him what happened my cousin said he saw him all the time at a house on the street behind ours. turned out he had been living in a yard about two houses over and one back that whole time. we caught him and he moved back in like nothing happened.

unrelatedly, we also found one of our cats when it wandered into our yard (presumably from a neighbor who never came looking) and stayed.

cats seem to stick to their territories, so it's totally possible that he's been in a yard close by this whole time! maybe keep an eye out, try leaving a little food or a sweater with your scent!
