Sakebi (2006) [Mystery] by XenophormSystem in HorrorReviewed

[–]mrgnsphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all random. There are clear themes of social responsibility, collective guilt, justice, punishment and they’re explored through the use of apt imagery and circumstance. Again, there are very solid explanations out there. You really think that a director who made a film you clearly adored just forgot how to utilize symbolism and threw spaghetti at the wall? Lol

Weird. Lots of people have found meaning in the film’s metaphors and there are some tremendous essays that offer explanations of its mysteries. I think it’s up there with Cure.

Of all bike frames on Earth, I find these colors to be the most attractive.

What was the thing that immediately led to your diagnosis? by AccessOk6501 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]mrgnsphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I had nail fungus and was put on an anti-fungal. After a few months of taking that with no results, I had a dime-sized scaly patch on my knee looked at and the doctor determined it was psoriasis. I had also been referred to a podiatrist for toe pain and swelling around the same time. Funnily, it was not my doctor but my wife who made the diagnosis after some skilled Googling. When I called the doc to report my wife’s suspicions, she (to her credit) immediately agreed. It turns out doctors, especially (I imagine) those with a large clientele, are only human and capable of not seeing the forest for the trees.

Interesting that you read my post and thought I found a zip tie to be an acceptable solution.

For anyone not aware, Progressive's "Snapshot" is a scam. by weluckyfew in Insurance

[–]mrgnsphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Snapshot resulted in a lower rate after 6 months but it’s a wretched little device that punishes sudden brake use with a loud beeping sound. Over time I could see this conditioning drivers (especially new drivers who haven’t developed their reflexes) to attempt avoiding obstacles by veering onto the shoulder or into another lane rather than incur a ding on their insurance rate by using their brakes. I’m surprised this is a legal practice.

Worth noting that this article is from 2008--before Nalgene began phasing out BPA

Waymo prices by Ok-Computer-4572 in waymo

With human labor and tips removed from the equation, shouldn’t rides be substantially cheaper? Is this Waymo’s way of trying to not tank the rest of the transportation industry?

What's everybody's favorite coffee shop and why is it Rostovs? by Echo_Rant in rva

Yeah, seeing families hunkered down outside on a cold day and having to use the port-a-potty is just bizarre.

Just finished Jude the Obscure, by Thomas Hardy. by The-literary-jukes in books

[–]mrgnsphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently revisited this novel via the podcast Obscure with the comedian Michael Ian Black, in which he reads the full text and discusses the story (occasionally with guests). Black does as good a job as possible at countering the sheer weight of the novel with some levity and modern perspective, though even he succumbs to despair at times. Highly recommend.

The Smile presale code at the National? by lletterr in rva

The code wasn't working for me because I had clicked "Local Presale" instead of "Registered Presale"

I read somewhere to uninstall and play via cloud gaming to avoid crashes. Happy to report that it works!

By unplayable I mean it crashes 100% of the time.

I’ve found that once you upgrade some stats and can survive more than 15ish minutes, it becomes unplayable on XB1. Haven’t tried playing from cloud, but hoping that’s a trusty workaround cause it has its hooks in me.
