  1. smack dab middle of GenX... Breakfast Club was without question the first thing that popped in my mind when i read the title, no doubt it's a winner...but the argument for Heathers is pretty damn persuasive. could go either way 🤔 as someone else said...pure proliferation/proficiency of John Hughes in the genre might give him the edge.
  2. i doubt that would make any difference on the right, but it would further piss off his left flank that is already pissed and ranting about our Israel support. i'm not sure there is a winning move on the issue, it's really no different than it's been for years, if not decades. 😕
  3. Infinity Pool. felt like a two-hour Tool video. not nearly as shocking as it was trying to be. meh. Killing of a Sacred Deer. because i am now obsessed with Barry Keoghan lol. odd but nicely shot and well acted.
  4. jfc he's literally a broken person. wow.
  5. i'd be tempted to call him out loudly as a traitor to his oath and country as i walked away.

    Getting old sucks

    i don't visit this thread because DAMMIT I'M NOT OLD and also i doubt any of y'all are discussing perimenopausal symptoms lol... but thought it might be a good place to ask... anybody have experience with cardiac ablation for afib? in 2020 i started having intermittent bouts of afib that correlated with instances of high alcohol usage (i.e. parties and such) around my menstrual cycle. very likely hormone related (thus the perimenopause mention). it was inconsistent and i saw my pcp in Austin multiple times over about two years, with ekg, echo, etc...he could never detect it during those times. then we moved to Denver and the altitude and continuing hormonal changes seems to have made it 'persistent'...i was hiking at about 9k last summer and suddenly realized i felt like i was literally gonna pass out. it was pretty scary...got a pcp here soon after and boom - persistent afib. no other health issues, just my heart freaking out. i barely drink anymore, and i'm still not fully menopausal (fuck this fucking bullshit, fuck! lol). anyways...i had the cardioversion (hard 'reboot') back in November...lasted about three weeks, which is not actually abnormal. so now we're discussing ablasion. i'm feeling reluctant bc the thought of, like, burning shit and creating scar tissue on purpose inside my heart is kinda just freaking me out 😳 but i'm still pretty young...had a long meeting with cardiac specialist this week and went thru all the options... there are medications but there's longterm drawbacks there as well. and i just really don't want to be on any permanent meds at this point if i can help it...my mom had to carry around an index card front/back with all her meds so she could just remember them, and you can't convince me the toxic damage from some of that shit didn't contribute heavily to her demise. i dunno...my dad also has afib for like 10 years now and is basically just of 'live with it' mindset...but he's 76, not 53. so that's more words than i intended, but basically i guess i'm asking if anybody has had their heart cauterized and how was it? 🤔😐
  8. ok...so as Roy was looking through the 'dugout', whatever that was (looked like a tunnel to somewhere...)...there's a dead animal, a sheep? or dog?? and there was like a transparent demon face or something hovering over it for a few seconds, like in The Exorcist...y'all see that or did i hallucinate?? wtf i can't remember from S1, maybe since @Al_4_ISU just finished it you can recall...was there an obvious supernatural moment? 🤔 obviously we had the UFO in S2...i didn't watch S3-4 so don't know there, just wondering if maybe there's a small element in each season.
  9. yeah, suddenly seeing Barry...differently. heh. 😛 really liked this! love me some 'alt2k' music as well. great analogy. Ripley is on my top ten list, Damon's best work by a mile imo. i wasn't spoiled at all and was kind of oblivious i guess lol, i didn't pick up on the predation until the sister scene, where i was like...whaaaa is happening, how'd he get so...dom?!? 😄😊
  10. wait, i'm sorry, i just saw this... he doesn't like Deadwood?? i mean i've defended him in the chili wars bc my mate is from Cincinnati and i've learned to cook it and it's actually good if you can not think of it as traditional chili but more of a meat sauce dish...but fuck him if he doesn't appreciate the poetry that is Deadwood! cocksucker. anyways, looking forward to this. hmpf.
  11. if you are, you have to tell us!
  12. i mean probably? recent history does not seem to justify your confidence 🤔 but good luck everybody!
  13. lol that one lion was like 'bro, BRO, leave him alone, trust me!'
  14. y'all are cute thinking he's actually gonna provide evidence or data to backup his statement.
  15. i think that is either padding or he gained for the role...looking pretty trim last night 😛
  16. not caught up but had to come post how freaking awesome the Poor People's Store song is! absolutely love it 😄
