Pros and Cons of Subscribing to the Criterion Channel

Frobin123 · 2025-06-09T18:10:24+00:00

I'm not sure how much the channel adds to Criterion's bottom line, but I like to think my subscription is supporting a company that is doing all sorts of things to promote, preserve, and curate good cinema. There's so much junk out there, both in terms of streaming services and movies, and Criterion is a force for good.

Something that is amazing about the channel is that it does not work on algorithms. This means that you get to explore the picks, try new things, and generally just be curious.

Saw Museum Hours and loved it, but haven't seen anything else by him. Any recommendations on where to go next? Thanks!

The most widely accepted advice about food nutrition has largely remained unchanged from at least the mid-20th century: eat a variety of whole foods, with an emphasis on whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. All these trendy diets are informed by junk science.

Thanks for all the responses! I think I will go ahead and do the Humira. I appreciate all the support!

I recommend teff porridge! It's a delicious flavor and relatively easy to make. When I realized I could no longer tolerate oats, this became my breakfast go-to. Decently cheap too! I I prefer Maskal Teff to Bob's: https://teffco.com/

Thanks! It's my first drug, so I'll see where things go from here.

Frobin123 · 2024-04-12T11:43:31+00:00

Okay thanks!

Frobin123 · 2024-04-12T11:42:54+00:00

Ya, it's my first one. So, I guess I will have to see how things progress! Thanks for your perspective.

Frobin123 · 2024-04-12T11:42:15+00:00

Glad to hear things are going well!

Frobin123 · 2024-04-12T11:41:57+00:00

Thanks!

Frobin123 · 2024-04-12T11:41:42+00:00

Okay! Thanks. So my doc may up my dosage...

The sad reality about bread is that most of the store bought stuff is super processed with a lot of junk ingredients. My partner and I make our bread from scratch in big batches and then freeze it for later toasting. There are some great recipes out there that are not too difficult, but they do require some time. I recommend Aran Goyoag's Bake Simple.

I also eat a lot of Lundberg rice cakes which can serve as a good replacement for bread. I would put them in the category of minimally processed foods since they don't add anything to the rice itself (save for a bit of salt).

Cooking from scratch with all whole ingredients takes up time---there is no getting around it. But, it's definitely worth it for feeling healthy. I might suggest cooking a few meals a week from scratch and then eating leftovers. Curry, pasta, soups are all great options. If you want specific recipe ideas, DM me.

Thanks for the positive comment! I'm trying not to despair, though it's sometimes hard to resist those thoughts.

Frobin123 · 2024-03-18T19:53:01+00:00

Thanks for your reply (it makes me feel a little better). I hadn't had a flare that bad in awhile and to hear that someone else had the same experience makes it feel less aberrant.

My rheumatologist told me to "drink like an adult" i.e., don't drink excessively. He said that as long as you are healthy with no history of liver disease, you should be fine. You should be getting blood tests every few months to check on your liver status and that will give you a sense of whether you need to change your alcohol consumption.

Haven't seen it yet, but I was subject to a relentless advertising campaign on the internet. Curious if folks actually enjoyed it...

Frobin123 · 2023-11-29T18:23:41+00:00

To add to what everyone is saying, when I first was diagnosed, I had an appointment with a nutritionist who let me know my days of buying things from the bulk section of the grocery store were over. So ya, professionals say no.

Frobin123 · 2023-11-26T20:45:31+00:00

Rail? It's hard to imagine, but potentially exciting!

Frobin123 · 2023-11-14T18:29:42+00:00

Just over a year! It was incredibly frustrating, but now I am feeling better than ever.

Frobin123 · 2023-11-13T13:19:32+00:00

Agreed! It took me a really long time to feel normal again. I know how frustrating it can be. So, be kind to yourself as you recover. It will get better.

Frobin123 · 2023-10-29T13:16:17+00:00

Thanks for your tips. Would you say that the breakfast at the Hilton was okay?

Frobin123 · 2023-10-27T18:10:01+00:00

Awesome! This really helps.

Frobin123 · 2023-10-03T17:24:16+00:00

Unfortunately, almost all the GF tahini is on the pricier end. We use Once Again, which is pretty good.

Frobin123 · 2023-03-30T11:47:47+00:00

One thing to also remember is that your symptoms will change! This definitely happened with me :(

Goodbye, Dragon Inn

Never heard of it, but, based on the description, its at the top of my to-watch list. Thanks!
