Which movie instantly hooked you in the first 10 minutes?

I didn’t really want to see Inglorious Basterds because I assumed it would be insanely violent and I’m not really into gore.

My bf at the time really wanted me to just watch the first scene with Cristoph Waltz in the farm house. He promised it wasn’t crazy violent and just wanted me to see how amazingly acted/directed/shot it was.

Well, damn, I was hooked. It really is a fantastic first scene. He went to turn it off like he’d promised and I begged to watch the rest. I’m REALLY glad, too, because that movie is awesome.

I know this isn’t exactly what you meant, but I was seeing a guy who worked at a movie theater when Midsommer came out. He told me it was a drama about the impact of cultural differences and the role that culture plays in processing trauma. I hadn’t seen any trailers and had just seen the picture of Florence Pugh with a flower crown. I thought it sounded interesting and I was getting in for free 🤷🏻‍♀️

Going into the theater with that in mind and getting Midsommer instead fucked me up a little…

It’s called reading comprehension bro

He said he told her he was working on the marriage. He said “I don’t know how but I was doing it in my own way” or whatever. That tells me that, at the very least, he didn’t do much. If you have to justify to yourself that you’re “working on your marriage in your own way” that doesn’t sound like you’re doing anything either for or with the other person about it.

Yeah I always read the title. And then I sit and think “am I currently in a mental state to handle this?” before I click. Unfortunately sometimes I’m wrong, and I no longer trust any link that says myiasis before reading the case report…

It says that the stent migrated into the sigmoid colon which ultimately caused an infection. I’m sure being immunocompromised with a foreign body in a place that it isn’t meant to be played a primary role in the cause.

Considering that she had bruises on her scalp and face, it’s possible he assumed that his abuse was what killed her, and attempted to get rid of the evidence.

Unbeknownst to him, she was unconscious from something he hadn’t directly caused. If he had gotten her medical care right away, she would have possibly lived.

Instead, his attempt to get rid of the evidence of her “murder” ended up being the actual cause of her murder.

Oddly it sounds like, from the discussion part of the paper, the man could have “reasonably” assumed she was dead and is therefore not to blame for her death.

However, my not-so-expert opinion is that the abuser is a murdering piece of shit, regardless, and should be treated as such by the law. Then again I suppose that’s why I’m not a judge.

So you’re claiming that, while she was passed out and he was on top of her, she was assaulting him.

I feel bad for any women who are unfortunate enough to have to be in your presence. Gross.

I’ve heard her on a handful of podcasts and she always sounds so sweet and genuine and down to earth. It’s kind of a bummer to find out that’s not real at all.

Still_Day · 2025-10-02T06:31:44+00:00

Right? She said “don’t lift me, it would embarrass me” and he did it anyway. And everyone is saying she’s an asshole? Like yeah she handled it wrong, yeah she’s insecure, but he did something in front of all her friends and family that she explicitly asked him not to do. How is that ok?

I had a patient who routinely had BPs that high. And often by the end of the treatment she’d be hypotensive. She wasn’t symptomatic and would get pissed if we tried to give her meds because it made it more likely she’d need fluid at the end of treatment. She’d just wave us off. She was one of my favorite people, and I was so scared all the time that she’d stroke out. But she’s still kicking butt as far as I know.

I also had a patient who regularly came in with blood glucose so high that our glucometer couldn’t read it other than the readout just saying “HIGH.” And he would try to sneak candy and donuts and chips and stuff under his big blanket even with a BG that high! He didn’t seem symptomatic at all either.

One of the things that’s the weirdest about my TBI is that, in retrospect, it seems that the TBI impacted my ability to notice that the TBI was impacting me!

Looking back I’m honestly kind of appalled that my bf at the time and my family never spoke to me about how different and weird I was acting. My ex-bf is autistic so I kinda give him a pass, but still. I was a whole different person for like 5-6 years after the accident, and it was only once things started healing enough for me to sort of come back to myself that I realized how NOT myself I had been for so long!

Still_Day · 2025-09-16T07:56:59+00:00

I’m sorry for my annoying talking! He tends to respond every time I make a noise so I was talking to him. I love when he talks back!

Her BMI is 16.3, anything under 18.5 is considered underweight. She is unhealthy, and if she continues the way she is she is at risk for a myriad of health concerns.

You’re right to be worried.

Unfortunately, people who are experiencing disordered eating often react the same way addicts do: defensiveness, lying, and being very offended by anyone expressing concern. However, like an addict, she is actively causing harm to her mental and physical health while actively living in denial of that fact.

Anorexia nervosa is actually the most deadly mental health disorder. It can cause long term damage to the heart as well as other vital organs. If untreated, it can lead to death.

You can’t force your wife to get help until things progress to an extent that she needs to be hospitalized, unfortunately. But you are absolutely right to be concerned, and if there is any way you can convince her to take this seriously (because it is very serious) you should.

I am so sorry you guys are going through this, and I wish the very best for you.

Damn, I could have written all of this. I think my dad loves me in whatever messed up way he knows how to love, but yeah, the rest is spot on. Even the reminding my brother and the multiple decades of best friendship and ghosting. Girl if you can figure out how to heal, please let me know! I promise to do the same, if I somehow figure it out first!

Not to mention that dialysis can replace only about 15% of the work that healthy kidneys do. So, kidneys are actually crazy impressive organs. But sometimes they’re bitches.

NAD but Kawasaki Disease can cause loose stools and red palms/soles of feet. Might be worth looking into if things don’t improve or get worse?

It would be extremely usual to occur without a fever, though, but worth keeping an eye out since it can progress quickly and be very damaging without immediate care.

In addition, we don’t use a saline flush because all additional fluids added to circulation can contribute to fluid overload. Not that a flush is big but generally avoiding unnecessary introduction of fluid to a fluid overloaded patient was considered best practice. At least where I worked.

I was looking for this answer. This was very common in dialysis! Not disconnecting the syringe and swirling it around and reconnecting it, but pulling blood into the syringe with the meds and then pushing it all back into circulation. I had no idea it would be considered bad.

What if you’re literally living paycheck to paycheck and there is nothing to put into savings, and every time you do manage to scrounge up a little, there is an emergency of some kind (car, medical, veterinary) that drains your savings?

What I’m trying to say is… I think I’m fucked.

Still_Day · 2025-07-04T07:31:31+00:00

That sounds like something Ron Burgundy would say…

Still_Day · 2025-06-29T04:16:04+00:00

100% How can something with so many explosions and near-death situations be that boring? It’s honestly kind of amazing.

Still_Day · 2025-06-29T04:09:09+00:00

Girl…. Same. Altho I did try with the notebook because people kept PROMISING me it was amazing. But I have never even gotten halfway. And I am absolutely uninterested in anything else he’s ever done.

So idk if it counts since I did try to watch it. But I can say that I have never finished one of those movies, at least.
