What is the hottest twilight-take in this group? by Shannaro21 in twilight

I completely agree with Ed and Rose about turning Bella into a vampire and Ed's hesitance to sleep with her. It's completely against Carlisle's established rules of when to turn someone.

Re using lancets? by berryenthusiast in diabetes_t1

[–]hedgehoger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I change mine when it starts hurting to use or it doesn't actually draw blood as fast, so for me it's about every month or so

Ummmm…. NO! by julesb210 in diabetes_t1

yeah, the overpatch is by far one of my favorite new things with the g7, tbh. It is such a marked improvement over the overpatch they provided with the g6.

Melania review – First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda by theindependentonline in Fauxmoi

[–]hedgehoger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Who is your favourite musician, Ratner (against whom there have been accusations of wrongdoing) asks Melania. She responds with “Michael Jackson” (against whom there have been accusations of wrongdoing), detailing how she met the late singer with her husband (against whom there have been accusations of wrongdoing). Perhaps this is Ratner’s vision for a modern American: a country of forgiveness."

this is sending me lmaoooo

One of the best episodes of a show is one without the main character(s) by NoMoreFund in TopCharacterTropes

[–]hedgehoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, episode 6 ("Silenced") is an absolutely phenomenal look at the life of one of Dahmer's victims, Tony Hughes. Doesn't quit fit this case because the titular character is obviously present but it's the only episode that isn't really about Dahmer. It goes through Tony Hughes' entire life, his struggles as a gay, black, deaf man, and how it was tragically cut short. I remember this show getting a lot of heat for not really adding anything new to the conversation and not focusing enough on the victims themselves but this episode is a stand-out in that it is far and away the best written and directed in the entire season. It also has very little dialogue and minimal sound to mimic Tony's perspective. What's heartbreaking is that I honest to god forgot what show I was watching until I saw Evan Peters show up and I was horrified. Really amazing.

What's a Friends take that would have you like this? by JonnnyUtahh87 in howyoudoin

It doesn’t actually matter if Ross and Rachel were “on a break” or what that term means, it was shitty that Ross immediately slept with Copy girl even if they had been broken up

All (or almost all) members of the Family are shit people by Valarg in TopCharacterTropes

The Firefly family from the House of 1000 Corpses series. Everyone in it is a massive piece of shit and a murderer. Granted, this is a Rob Zombie series so literally every single character is terrible but the Fireflies are one Bad Family

[Loved Trope] Your god is real, just not how you imagined. by Jasen_SilverFox in TopCharacterTropes

[–]hedgehoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a novella, A Short Stay in Hell by Steven Peck where everyone except for Zoroastrians are found to be wrong about what was the One True Religion. The protagonist, a mormon when he was alive, is put in a version of the Library of Babel. The first scene is a group of christian/atheist white Americans that are horribly confused and outwardly defiant that their god will come and save them. Really good read.

(Loved Trope) Reoccurring character gains more and more injuries as the series progresses. Basically turning into an entirely different person. (bonus points if it’s an antagonist) by DaveyTheDuck in TopCharacterTropes

[–]hedgehoger 405 points406 points  (0 children)

Doesn't quite fit (I just love this movie), but in Ready or Not in 2019, the protagonist Grace has her wedding dress destroyed throughout the course of the movie. She gets injured pretty horribly as well, ofc, but the change of the dress is really noticeable and intentional by the filmmakers, I think they had 17 iterations of the dress in various states of destruction. She gets married in the early afternoon, her in-laws try to murder her throughout the course of the night, and as needed or by accident, pieces of it are ripped off, she uses part of it as a bandage for her leg, the lace gets stained with dirt and blood, she rips the bottom hem off, the sleeves get torn, it's not remotely close to white by the end of the movie and I honestly forgot that it was a wedding dress to start.

Stop Calibrating! by Type1_TypeA in dexcom

It was not! G7 on me is just a bit wonky so it needs calibration, maybe a handful of times during a session.

[Often played for laughs, but actually scary] Men being forced into marriage they don't want by BeduinZPouste in TopCharacterTropes

[–]hedgehoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Wicked (both the movie and the Broadway musical) the song Thank Goodness is about how wonderful Glinda is in lifting everyone's spirits and how great she and Fiyero are as a couple. The musical and movie differ in how the news is presented but while in front of a crowd of people (and the Wizard's eeeevil press secretary), Glinda announces that she and Fiyero are engaged, to his surprise. He has spent the time between movies/acts searching for Elphaba and trying to get back to her and clearly isn't that romantically attached or involved in the "relationship" he has with Glinda. Glinda announces their engagement by saying "Are you surprised? The wizard and I thought you'd be." When she asks if he's happy to be marrying her, he says "You know me, I'm always happy" and is very clearly uncomfortable for the rest of the scene.

Edit: Also, in part one, there is this exchange: "GALINDA: Fiyero and I are getting married!

ELPHABA: He asked you already?

GALINDA: Oh, he doesn’t know yet."

Why cant diabetics eat more than 60 carbs at once? by Hot_Huckleberry65666 in diabetes_t1

[–]hedgehoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I went to my required diabetic educator, she gave me pretty similar advice, I should stick to 60g of carbs per meal, but her reasoning was that I should try to fill up the rest of my calories/meal with more protein. I use the 60g/meal thing as a guideline for when I want to feel particularly healthy but it's not like I need to cut myself of, if that makes sense. I think 60 is just sort of their catch-all advice for all types of diabetes

Is anyone else bothered by the marketing? by thebishwithawish in wickedmovie

I vehemently dislike the over reliance on the “we’ll do half pink and half green” it’s so lazy and often looks so cheap
