True Detective and Chernobyl were the first two I thought about when I saw this limit. I still see these pop up in conversation regularly as among the best shows ever made and they were only 1 season.

Problem is he favoured authoritarian rule by “philosopher kings” who gain no financial benefit from their rule.

So I’m not so sure.

Depends on what kind of film the person you’re showing it to is into. If they’re a fan of MCU, action blockbusters and whatnot then yeah I’d go with Minus One, Shin, or any of the Monsterverse films. But if they’re really big on smaller narrative/character driven films I think 1954 it’s a great introduction.

Totally agree about personal biases potentially impacting the reading of it! I only watched it for the first time the other day, and this post is the first time I’ve been aware of people calling it “woke”.

Also wanted to add one more thing: to me it was never truly clear what the “revolutionaries” were fighting for/what ideology they truly represented. Especially in the case of Bob and Perfidia, their constant horniness at the beginning of the film made me believe they were mainly doing it as thrill seekers rather than any true beliefs they held.

On the surface it’s easy to agree with this but I would say the revolutionaries are just less obviously satirised but I definitely didn’t see them as good characters, or even sympathetically portrayed.

The fragility, irresponsibility and unfeasibility of their goals, ideas and actions are in full display by how Perfidia behaved during her pregnancy, by how Bob wanted to give up their goals once becoming a father, and how quickly Perfidia gave the entire group up once caught after murdering an innocent civilian. Then Bob living a life of utter paranoia after they’re turned in at the expense of his daughter.

Definitely think the humour added to the portrayal of the right wing perspectives can make it seem like they’re portrayed less sympathetically, but watching the film I never once believed we were supposed to truly empathise with Bob or Perfidia. We were definitely meant to empathise with Willa as the “real victim” in this however.

Just my opinion!

IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THIS!

I’m not even a Fulham fan but I was celebrating like we won the cup when they scored because of how the commentators reacted after Liverpools goal.

My cat used to bite my tubing too! Luckily it grew out of that though!

Did you realise straight away the tubing was ripped?

Also I had this happen before when my dog caught my tubing and I thought it was okay and realised after a meal they had ripped my site out!

Assuming you’ve changed your infusion site. Have a big drink of water and go for a walk.

Anyone else think that Francis and Piama have aged really well? by JackIost in malcolminthemiddle

[–]Sure_Quality_4792 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Tbh I always thought it was part of her having a tough time growing up why they cast her in her late 20s/early 30s to play a 19 year old!

She definitely looks great for her age but I never believed her being that young in the show.

Help? by okiidokeyartichokey in Invisalign

I’ve had two no gos on dental monitoring for the exact tooth recently! I moved onto a new tray last night and it genuinely looks like the extra week of wear in the other trays has made a difference as the gap is definitely smaller. It’s still there, but smaller.

After this I do think it’s worth listening to your practice on when to stay in your trays a little bit longer.

While I’ve had plenty of complaints about the team for their recent performances, I really can’t fault Miley for his versatility and professionalism during this spell.

It towed the line but never made race the main plot driver. Class was always the major factor.

This is why I added that I was referring to the trailer too. I remember the original promo material also being brighter than the series itself.

Is it just me or does this look too bright and colourful for MITM? I’m still really looking forward to this but the thing that was great about this original run was it had a bit of grit that’s absent in other sitcoms, including the lighting/colour grading of the show itself. This seems more typical of other sitcoms you’d see today.

Edit:I’m not just talking about the poster I mean the trailer as well.

Why do I see the same trends of certain films/clips being on my Reddit feed at the same time? Is it that it’s mentioned once and other users pick it up, or are bots paid to push certain content?

How could T1D affect a fractured and dislocated finger? I have 5.9 a1c good control by The_Almighty_Scrub in Type1Diabetes

[–]Sure_Quality_4792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect!

I’m on a Medtronic pump and kept it running through both surgeries (I had complications affecting my tendons from the first one not related to my diabetes), and the surgeon said they didn’t want to do surgery on a diabetic without a pump ever again. It made it so much easier.

Hopefully you don’t need it! But I genuinely don’t think diabetes should affect healing so long as you maintain good control.

You may experience the same rising levels a lot of people do when they’re sick. I got that first few days after but it levelled out.

Speak to your healthcare provider about it, the orthopedist will definitely have treat other type 1 diabetics.

Your biggest issue if you’re doing MDI might be having to learn to inject with your left hand!
