I don't like sugary sweet Christmas movies but dig a good Christmas themed black comedy horror/slasher.

Those MAGA nuts can't touch my chill. I exist on an instance that has downvotes disabled.

Meh, I have no faith Disney will responsibly handle the screamingly obvious gay subtext to Gaston and LeFou. At best, some coy hints at it while staying minimal enough they don't have to cross the MAGA nuts

Good call. As the scene opened I thought they were siblings. The chemistry was so bad (and Luc Besson is such a pervert), I still wasn't sure after the first scene.

I'd not want Aus to be judged on Fosters for instance..

Hate to break it to you, but in the US, Fosters is absolutely marketed as the Australian beer 😂. I think the Foster's in our stores is brewed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin under license though.

I've never seen stuff like Toohey's or VB here. Next time I go to Aus, maybe I'll do a cheep beer swap and bring cans of Keystone Light, Natty Light, Miller High Life, some of our other "sex-in-a-canoe" beers, as in "fucking close to water".

(I'm in the US). I've been told by multiple friends in multiple countries that they appreciate Reese's Pieces peanut butter candies. The salty-sweet combo is unique and they don't get them often in their countries.

My other go-tos depending on who I'm visiting would be a locally roasted coffee or an over-the-top flavor bomb craft beer. Like my local brewery has a seasonal on rotation right now, "Sprinkled doughnut double spiced oatmeal stout" with a bright, colorful can. My German friend is offended but intrigued by the beers I bring. Usually he gets playfully wound up insisting they don't count as real beer.

Is... it still alive?

Free Fire (2016). Not my jam. It felt like a fan boy attempt at a Guy Ritchie story. And the shots of the main location, which takes place in a big warehouse, don't contain enough reference points so know where all the characters are at in any given moment. It was disorienting and made the fight scenes that much more difficult to follow.

Big World (2024) Chinese drama about a young man with cerebral palsy. This one is a tearjerker.

Shrek (2001) to celebrate its 25th anniversary a little early. Still such an impressive movie, I think a small, B-run studio would still be happy to put out that CGI work today.

I upvoter things I like or unique takes I disagree with that still seem interesting and in good faith.

Cremate the remains, use the ash as media for sculptures of people enthusiastically fucking. Let them end up a part of the fun.

I am unaware of a way to turn human remains into plastic. You can make hair into something like plastic though, by using lye to break it down. We would have to find some other environmentally responsible thing to do with the meat and bone bag part of the capitalist remains.

 

The game is on FS1

 

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android and when others post spoiler tags, I still see the text that should be hidden until tapped. Being able to see through spoiler tags is keeping me from engaging as readily with spoiler-filled communities.

Is there any adjustments I can do to fix it or is it something that can only be done at app or instance or Lemmy as a whole level? TY.

 

Also New York and Missouri

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
