I was raised Catholic but was never a believer. I’m atheist.

Sorry if this is too personal, but I’ve heard magnesium can cause diarrhea. Does that happen to you? Also, what kind of magnesium do you take, and is your bruxism related to anxiety?

From the article:

Following her arrest, Manahel al-Otaibi was subjected to physical and psychological abuse in Riyadh’s Malaz Prison, and she was forcibly disappeared for five months from 5 November 2023 until April 2024. On 14 April 2024, when she was finally able to contact her family again, she told them she was being held in solitary confinement and had a broken leg as a result of physical abuse. She also said she was denied health care.

This is fucking despicable. For wearing unapproved clothing and speaking out against male guardianship?! How the fuck is this a moral way to treat anyone?

I’m glad her sister was able to get out of Saudi Arabia in time. And I hope this woman gets justice, but I’m not holding my breath.

Why did you graduate so late? How did your friends and family react? What are your plans going forward? Would you do anything differently in hindsight?

Man I’d be interested to hear about that. Any interesting insights?

Lems are great wide-toed shoes, and they’re about half the price of the Vivos I had. They’re comfy, plus also great for orthotics.

Bro…

I clench my jaw day and night, like constantly. Not intentionally, and I wear a mouthguard to protect my teeth at night, but I’m not really in control of the clenching and it causes downstream effects. Some mornings I can’t open my jaw all the way. I had the feeling of water trapped in my ear (I thought it was from using the pool at the gym), but the ENT told me it was from TMJ. At least a couple times a week I end up with a headache that starts in my jaw and teeth, radiates up my sinuses, and on really bad days, results in light sensitivity and blurred vision.

This movie sticks with me. Such a brutal, dark, nasty movie, and it made me realize Colin Ferrell had actual acting talent. I’d never seen him in anything before and had this impression that he was just a pretty boy, kinda like McConaughey used to be.

Like, I completely get why Colm wanted to cut Pádriac off, he was so dull. But he was also so open-hearted, and so I empathized with both characters.

When Pádraic follows the trail of fingers… you know the scene I mean. I lost it, just fucking bawled my eyes out. That movie pulled no punches. It was amazing but I never want to watch it again.

That snoofer is mesmerizing

Aside from The Mighty Ducks, any recommendations?

Ooh I just remembered another random sports movie I watched recently - Hoosiers!

…I mean, welcome to the internet?

That’s the dude who shot the United Healthcare CEO

I don’t have sample exchanges at the ready, but I take issue with the gigantic stickers, the unwarranted confrontational tone, and the childish namecalling.

I watched A League of Their Own last week. Very watchable, not at all flashy, and refreshingly earnest. I hate that so many modern movies are so wised up and meta, and I find myself watching older movies more and more.

Recently it’s been Ghost, Bull Durham, Forrest Gump, and Field of Dreams. (I don’t even like baseball, no idea why so many of these are baseball movies!)

Yes! The fucking stickers are so annoying.

Setting aside the content of their comments, I have often found their commenting style to be obnoxious or rude. They’re free to do their thing of course, but since I’m not into it, I’ve blocked that instance. Over time I’ve seen fewer and fewer comments from hexbear users, and I imagine that’s because some instances have chosen to defederate from them.

Robocop

Nope. I left after Snowden dropped his info.

Man this sounds fantastic!
