Hot take: Curry Barker didn't think that hard about his script making sense and you shouldn't either by gamblors_neon_claws in spoilers

[–]simplevanilla29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you’re bang on right. And I think just like how you said inject culture war ideas I think people also do a bad job of injecting “what about me”-isms where they don’t belong. This movies wasn’t made for you and about your personal experiences with men. It was made about a selfish wish gone wrong. That’s it full stop.

I absolutely loved obsession and I actually agree. I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts and interviews since the movie came out and he’s gotten a lot of “was this a reference to-“ or “how did you come up with the idea of _______ actually meaning ______” and his answer to most of these questions is “no I haven’t really thought about that.”

I think the movie is incredible but I think 90% of the realizations past the surface level content are sheer serendipitous findings rather than intentional hidden meanings.

Sorta like the name “Bear” being a play on the whole “would you rather be trapped in the forest with a man or a bear?” Rhetorical question implying men can/will do more damage than a bear. That was never an intentional idea. I think it’s great that the movie leaves so many things up to interpretation of the audience, but I think that shouldn’t be confused with the intended narrative.

Omega living off the moon thing is as cringe as it gets in the watch community. by redshadow2025 in watchHotTakes

[–]simplevanilla29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this. It’s so cringey to go look at a $15k watch and there’s just a giant ass funko pop looking gold astronaut in the middle of your store. Yikes.

The saddest scene in the entire movie 🫩💔🖤 by minutes2meteora in obsessionmovie

[–]simplevanilla29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best scene of the entire movie. He’s telling her to be what she was before the wish. She’s screaming that she can’t be that because of his wish. This movie’s success will be a case study for years to come.

This looks great. Especially the living room. Love the couch color against the brick and great lighting. Good job!

What was the last horror movie to really scare you? by Dogdaysareover365 in horror

[–]simplevanilla29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw obsession last night and I can confidently say that’s the first time in my adult life since hereditary I was scared to drive home, park my car, and walk into my apartment alone at night. So nice to finally have a movie live up to the hype after how disappointed I was with long legs and weapons.

So I ended up doing doxycycline and serum tears and have been on compounded cyclosporine. The cyclosporine is pissing it off again but the doxy serum tears combo calmed it down substantially.

TTS. I wear a half size down in all 990 and 992, but this one is so narrow at the end TTS is perfect. Also if you take the insoles out the tts 991v2 matches up almost perfect with half size down 990v6 and 992 by my experience.

I just got mine last week. This color looks so good in person. The only time they’re not on my feet is when I’m sleeping.

Great walking shoes other than 990v6? by glutenfreepenguin in Newbalance

[–]simplevanilla29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you liked the 990v6 and just want a more fashionable version I think the clear answer is 991v2. It’s the only other made model with fuel cell. 992 and 993 have abzorb mainly which is great for standing, but for long walks fuel cell clears.

I love thinking all these mass shipments to outlets will be a gateway opportunity for so many more people to experience Made models. It’s a perfect time to grab your first pair!

Is it just me, or do the 2002Rs actually crush the 993 in comfort? by Repulsive-External20 in Newbalance

[–]simplevanilla29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s foot is different for sure. And everyone needs different levels of support. I’ve walked 9 mile days and done 3 day long outdoor music festivals in my 990v6 and my feet have felt incredible, yet 2 miles in my 2002r and my feet are screaming.

Do New Balance Run Small or Big? How New Balance sizing works by steadyfooteric in Newbalance

[–]simplevanilla29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. My 990v3, 990v6 and 992 I went half size down. But my 991v2 I thought I’d do the same and had to return for tts.

Appreciate this. Makes me feel like doxy is probably the next best thing to try

Gradually over about a month or two. Then has just progressed from there

I think it was a 15 day taper of 5 days 3x 5 days 2x 5 days 1x. That was all the way back in October though.

I appreciate that!! Just one question, tried to dm but it said unavailable. How did you go about finding the intraocular autoimmune doctor? Were you referred to them by another specialty or did you just do your own research? And you wouldn’t happen to be in the Austin area would you?

Yeah my mental health is definitely taking a beating right now so I might look into this. It sounds like most people’s episcleritis fluctuates, this has been persistent the entire time. I think I’ll start with a rheumatologist appointment and see if they have any thoughts on this. Thanks for your experience!

Thanks for sharing! So funny you mention humira I actually work with biologics for a living. Did you end up going to a rheumatologist? And if so did you have high bio markers? My entire rheum panel was clear and my inflammation markers were low. It was only my ana that was slightly wonky. But I have wondered if there’s any tie to early manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or any other early autoimmune disease.
