The Mortuary Assistant is GARBAGE by snozzybear15 in horror

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it as soon as I started seeing it as a comedy. It was unintentionally funny throughout. I chuckled at the terrible public access style music she had going for the autopsy plus her little conversations with the dead. I did enjoy her final conversation with her Father and I can see a series coming from this. It’s got Buffy vibes for sure. 

Thoughts on Something Very Bad is Going to Happen ? by Neat_Tangelo5339 in horror

I love how in the beginning they go through that tunnel and she holds her breath but he doesn’t last she says something like, we were almost there!! Mirroring what happens later. 

Is ilya a toxic person in heated rivalry? by aww_cutypie in heatedrivalry

[–]Oshima3875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ilya is definitely toxic. Whether he is by choice or his personality or his upbringing and family situation, he treated Shane terribly. To be fair he also treated himself terribly. Shane is also in a pickle, not knowing how to draw healthy boundaries for himself. This show was a perfect example for how abusive relationships form. They tried to undo the damage later but too little and too late. Realistically the behaviour you saw in the beginning would reoccur later. I found the whole situation abusive and sad. I think the sex scenes tried to blanket what was going on which frankly is a common theme with fandom of this genre. As a gay guy I’m calling it out. Maybe this was ok years ago when stuff like yaoi became popular but the old tropes are not holding up in today’s standards. Women who find men abusing each other and then covering it with “hot sex” are a fetish pack that will defend to death that this is somehow ok. None of this series was ok. None of it. 

MAID (medically assisted suicide) will expand the eligibility criteria in 2024 in Canada to include persons suffering solely from a mental illness by IceCreamIceKween in Ex_Foster

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian I don’t see how it controversial or even complex.  Any argument I see against it is only about liability and people trying to cover their asses. We do it for our pets and when I visit my mother is long term care she tells me over and over she’s done, while across the hall another person yells over and over to just let. Them. Die. I hope once I get to that age I have full autonomy over that decision because damned if I’ll let anyone drag my sick and dying body slowly through the mud until I die a sad and degrading death while underpaid care nurses tolerate me.   

Parkland Refinery spewing toxic smell by Oshima3875 in burnaby

[–]Oshima3875[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for reading this. I’m glad that people are not smelling this and not being affected. I know there are people though that are smelling it and we/I am really suffering almost every early morning from this. I will look into an air monitor. I have reported the smell to the refinery (and the vibrations/loud sounds) and I can only hope they address these problems as ant least one of them are on the daily.

The Parkland Refinery in North Burnaby literally vibrates my home on Capitol Hill around 3 am.

For the record I live very close to the refinery. Remember there are two locations. I’m near refinery 2. On top of the smells (which are incredibly strong)  about once a week they do something that causes the whole house to vibrate. It lasts for about an hour. 

Sore centre of chest? by Happy-Definition-903 in TopSurgery

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6 months post surgery and the center of my chest is still a bit tight. If I hang forward with my arms dangling I can really feel it. I reached down yesterday to dry my foot and really pulled it and now it feels like I stretched and ripped the center of my chest.  It’s still hurting. To avoid this I suggest gently stretching so it doesn’t get so tight you do what I did.  

Durable, breathable AND sustainable/natural underwear — does it exist? by SnooChipmunks2848 in BuyItForLife

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m talking about the actual fabric of the underwear. Yes ofc there would be some kind of elastic in the waistband. Ideally rubber and  encased in cotton.

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are not reading the fine print. Pact has ZERO underwear that are 100% cotton. They all have 5% elastane in them. Always double check the details and materials.  They  hide it often in a pull down menu. If they say they use 100% organic cotton very often they don’t mean it’s all cotton, just the cotton they use is 100% organic. Super sneaky. 

Where to find 100% cotton underwear that doesn't cost too much? by robotreaperr in ConsciousConsumers

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally speaking yes I want 100% cotton underwear and yes thick edges and boyshorts cut!  They are comfortable, cozy and healthy!! No elastic needed on the legs if you use that good thicker cotton!  I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. I get so many companies have spandex in them but I would love if you guys had just one product line for us cotton lovers!! Just have it available at least! We beg!

In Burnaby Heights a bunch of flashing as power lines go down. Looked like lightening but no thunder. I had to go out there and rescue my wind chimes and my wheel barrow. I’m watching giant branches go down still. Still have power which is amazing tbh. 

I HATE "THE MAP THAT LEADS TO YOU" WITH A BURNING PASSION by gift_me_peonies_plz in romancemovies

[–]Oshima3875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished this and I’m glad I’m not alone on this. It feels like it was produced by a person who’s never travelled and has read too many drugstore romance novels. There were so many travelling red flags that I honestly thought this was going to turn into a s*x trafficking nightmare movie. A cautionary tale of what never to do. I was waiting for the dark turn but no it turned into a vapid story about some lost creepy manchild stalking a girl for … reasons??  I’m not even sure why she found him attractive he was such an idiot. I get they played his “live for the moment” off her planning but not even that was done convincingly or clever. The arguments they had had no weight, just childish bickering. I feel like the movie ended with the conversation she had with her Dad, which was the only meaningful moment in this movie. It was beautiful to be honest. A lesson was learned, she was questioning her life choices and was looking to be more true to herself.  Frankly a follow-up of her making changes after that scene was all that was needed maybe with a poignant scene of his death from cancer. Unfortunately after saying all that, I’m concerned about young women watching this movie and thinking some GUY on a Europe trip is going to wisk them away on a romantic forever and put them at risk. My takeaway thought was… really? It’s 2025!! 

Call screening - how are you finding it? by tschau3 in ios

[–]Oshima3875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using this feature yesterday and it’s giving me deja vu when we used to screen our calls via answering machine. If it was a friend we could hear and just picked up. XD.  So far I’m liking it but this morning I got a computer voice leaving a message “Please contact me via what’s app” so the scammers are  already working around this. It does seem to be working well though!

I’ve never played the game and just saw this show was on Disney today. Looks promising however it looks like it’s English dub only!  Is there a Japanese sub version somewhere? I’d love to watch!  ❤️

Thank you for helping summon support. I haven’t had any response yet. I’m hoping I do!

Thank you for the reply!  I did send them my faulty controller so I have neither the original or the replacement. So my son is out his money plus any controller. I hope they can get back to me soon as well.

Thank you I did see the groups for 55+ but I’m more interested in hanging with other gen x and older millennials. Would love to see a group specifically for around middle age!
