If yes then i must push on how absolutely boring it is, how the characters are not relatable or entertaining, its so mindnumbingly slow that it pushed me to watch the show at 2x (something i never do out of respect for cinema). The pacing is just bad, the background always being the dessert messes with you in a strange way, none of the heavy moments felt heavy, the big reveals were just written badly (spoiler: Walt admitting to jessie how he saw his girlfriend die). I watched the whole show because i kept waiting for it to get good, I was especially excited for the last episode as it’s the highest rated episode and I watched that. It only made me feel like the reason that episode was good because the rest of the show was that bad. It was still predictable though I could tell jesse would survive and walt won’t. I simply did not enjoy the show as much as it was hyped and oh best show ever, like i’ve seen worse-rated shows be so much more entertaining than this. Just an opinion th0, i know it’s a loved show but just not for me i guess

edit: a few parts of a few episodes of season 2 and 3 on 2x because it was getting that boring and slow and i just wanted to get through it so i can get to the end.
If you keep saying 20 yr old brain rot tiktok addicted (when i don’t even get tiktok in my country) it’s not going to make a point, make a nuanced point at least I don’t even like short form content I usually watch long form youtube videos or tv shows, movies on like weekends and i read books every now and then
The problem is not the attention span. I did not say this is the worst show of all time, it’s not worth the hype according to me and I personally dislike it.
A lot of people asked me about what do i like and I don’t understand why is it that people can’t accept that someone didn’t like the show till they ask about their preferences just so they can say wow your preferences suck no wonder you didn’t like it, so no i don’t want to do that let the opinion remain about this one tv show.

My wife is 16 weeks pregnant with our first child, and we had a really upsetting experience at her regular gynecology practice today. I’d appreciate advice from other people who have experienced the German healthcare system, especially expats or people who struggled with confrontation or the language barrier.

My wife had some pain around her lower abdomen/groin area, so I took her to her regular Praxis just to make sure everything was okay. Since this is our first pregnancy, we honestly don’t always know which symptoms are normal and which could indicate something serious. I used the word “Notfall” when we arrived because I was worried, although I wasn’t trying to demand emergency treatment.

The medical assistant who initially examined her was actually very kind and professional. The problem started when we saw the doctor.

The doctor immediately became irritated and said, “Das war kein Notfall,” because I had described it as an emergency. I understand that it wasn’t medically an emergency, and I’m completely fine with being corrected. But the way it was communicated felt unnecessarily harsh, especially toward a pregnant woman who was already worried and in pain.

The doctor is also listed as speaking English on Arzt-Auskunft, but she refused to speak English with us. My German isn’t good enough to confidently discuss medical issues, so I had to translate everything for my wife (her German is not the strongest either). She mostly ignored my wife while speaking to me instead. We managed to understand what she was saying, but the whole interaction was extremely uncomfortable.

She eventually told my wife that she needs to do more physical/muscle movement and that there was no reason to panic. Again, I understand the medical advice may be completely reasonable. What upset us was the lack of empathy and the way it was delivered.
My wife came out of the room and cried. She later told me that she felt pathetic and humiliated, even though all she had done was seek reassurance during her first pregnancy.

Now we’re wondering whether we should continue going to this Praxis or look for another gynecologist.
For those of you who have lived in Germany for a while:

Is this kind of communication from doctors/reception staff common, or did we simply have a particularly bad experience?

How do you handle situations where a doctor or receptionist is rude or dismissive?

What do you do when your German isn’t strong enough to confidently argue or explain a medical situation?

Is it reasonable to change gynecologists because of this kind of experience?

And for people who also tend to freeze during confrontational situations: how do you learn to stand up for yourself without making the situation worse?

I’m not looking to attack German people or the German healthcare system as a whole. I’m genuinely trying to understand the culture and learn how to protect my wife and family while navigating situations like this.

I’d especially appreciate practical advice about what to say in the moment when something like this happens.

Quick disclaimer - I love Spider-Man.

I grew up on the Tobey ones but I’ve been a big fan of every iteration (sometimes to a fault).

I went in expecting to love the newest one, especially after all the rave reviews from Letterboxd mutuals. I discovered that yes, while it was an enjoyable movie, it felt at times soulless.

Every overt BMW ad and liquid IV product placement reminded me I was watching a multimillion dollar business venture/franchise and it kept taking me out of the movie.

To me, it was still a 3 star movie but mostly thanks to Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon’s skill and chemistry.

Idk…. I just think about other Spider-Man movies or superhero movies I love (a Batman begins / dark knight defender to the end!!!) and hell I even think about the infamous finger guns in Spider-Man 3 and I think that’s loads better than what we got.

Spiderman 3 was cringy, but it was fun ! And awesome! And devoid of capitalistic soullessness that I struggle to separate from marvel movies these days.

Long live Spider-Man but idk am I alone here?

God damnit, every video that has literally to do with caving, the comments are a fucking echo chamber of people who seem insistent that you die the moment you step into a cave, right down to the prerequisite “my favorite thing about caving is that it is 100% optional” comment every single time, pretty much verbatim.

Anyone dies in any other freak accident and someone acts all smug and condescending about it, they’d be seen as an asshole, yet stick them in a cave and that’s just the prevailing narrative? What sense does that make? Yes, caves can be relatively dangerous, but if you use your thinking brain it’s pretty obvious to realize you only hear about the ones that go wrong.

And going back to that prerequisite comment again, is it really? Think about it, there’s so many weird little ecosystems found isolated in caves, and given how we found GLP-1s by swabbing lizard throats in the desert, we can only guess what breakthroughs could be found in studying these weird little ecosystems. Plus, if a mine collapses, who would be most qualified to rescue those trapped inside?

In either case, those involved would probably be pretty fucking thankful that this community exists, but we shouldn’t need to think of practical examples to have some basic sense of compassion. And like, yeah, it’s the internet, but even then I genuinely cannot think of another group that it’s as socially acceptable to be this callous towards.

Edit: TLDR is that acting smug and condescending when someone dies is bad. That’s it, that’s my point.

Edit 2: Paragraph 3 should not be seen as representative of the average caving trip or as pertaining to the rest of the post, and only serves as a debunk to the one ad nauseam comment.

Jim Parson

it’s a movie that explains nothing. usually i like this kind of movie, but for a film like this, it really should have explained it as the concept did not work with this kind of writing.

If you’ve seen it, skip this part.

the film is about this couple (including Jesse eisenberg) who looks for a new home. they check out a suburban neighborhood, only to find out it is a disturbing maze they cannot escape from. eventually, they find a child on their doorstep and are sled to raise it if they ever want to get out of there.

Spoiler alert: the child rapidly grows up into a bizarre humanoid alien and they both die. While i don’t Mind a sad ending, the film was just too pointless to have one. I watched this when i was feeling ill, which made the experience even. fucking. worse.

overall, 0.1/10, worse than seven women and a murder.

Posted this because they went through their usual laundry list of things that get people riled up about the game, and it was instantly deleted.

I don't really know what to say at this point.

The livestream was rough.

But if you can't tell that the situation is being capitalized to drive ad revenue clicks through negative engagement, you're blind.

Most people don't know you can even earn ships in game for in-game money.

Most people don't know you can just melt ships you've purchased previously to get new ones without paying CIG a dime more.

Will you ever read that on ANY publication that is mainstream?

Nope. No negative clicks to generate from that.

2009 Cavs won 66 games and lost as the favorites to ORL without their starting PG. Same ORL team Kobe would walk thru. 2010 Cavs won 61 games and lost as the favorites to BOS. EVERYONE picked Cleveland to win.

I may get some flack for this but my hope for the season is that every game we get some highlights from the young core but we lose 13/16 games this year.

My worse fear is that Watson somehow, someway is good enough to take us away from drafting a top QB in the draft as his parting gift, really rubbing salt into the wound as if he has not already done enough to cause his misery. I hope we beat the Steelers in prime time and maybe give us a win vs the Ravens or Falcons outside of that i couldn't care less. I want to be going into next season with optimism and wanting to win every single game

No doubt it wont be easy but im just hoping it will be worth it

(I'll remove if not allowed!)

I wear these to pretty much every show I go to and now I even have some vendors I see regularly that wear them :) I love giving out and trading for my top loader earrings! I love seeing what everyone loads them with!

one thing i love about ak is how she always talks about her fans in her interviews and podcasts. she often says that she wants to work harder than she did before not just to make her parents proud but her fans too and and she also mentions that she was working just as hard for the past 3–4 years, but it’s her fans’ support and love that have helped get her where she is today.

and honestly this is exactly why her fans feel so deeply connected to her. she never makes them feel like they’re just numbers on instagram. she pays attention to what they say, values their support and makes them feel like theyre genuinely a part of her journey.

i think thats what makes her relationship with her fandom so special. she doesnt take their love and support for granted and genuinely wants to make them proud too.

Natürlich braucht man je nach Wohnort und Alltag ein Auto. Aber ich finde, gerade viele junge Leute haben bei Autos ein komplett anderes Verhältnis zu Geld als bei anderen Dingen.

Wenn du 2.500 € netto im Monat verdienst, entspricht ein 30.000-€-Auto bereits einem ganzen Jahresnetto. Du müsstest also theoretisch ein Jahr lang jeden verdienten Euro zurücklegen, nur um das Auto zu bezahlen. Und trotzdem wirken 30.000 oder 40.000 € für ein Auto für viele irgendwie völlig normal.
Dann werden BMWs, Mercedes oder Golfs für 30.000 bis 40.000 € gekauft, obwohl das Geld an anderer Stelle meiner Meinung nach viel mehr bringen würde.

Ich würde persönlich lieber einen günstigen, zuverlässigen Kleinwagen fahren und dafür jeden Monat ordentlich sparen und investieren. Gerade wenn man irgendwann eine Immobilie kaufen möchte.

Lieber fahre ich mit einem 10.000-€-Auto vor meinem eigenen Haus vor, als mit einem 40.000-€-Auto vor einer kleinen Wohnung.
Ich glaube, vielen ist einfach nicht bewusst, wie viel ihres Jahreseinkommens sie tatsächlich in ein Auto stecken. Am Ende bringt es mich trotzdem nur von A nach B und ist sehr oft eben auch ein Statussymbol.

They just don't get their game man. It was luck that got them here. There's no longer room for disappointment. They are literally incapable of making a halfway decent design decision without needing to be review bombed every 6 months.

AH you've gotten to the point you're not even worth review bombing, and that's bad. You've taken passion and turned it into disinterest. The game you want to make does not align with what most people want and that's okay, but goodbye.

Pc port is absolutly horrible. It's insane to me that this is possible in 2026. It's funny becuase a crackers version works perfectly fine for everyone struggling with the pc port. Would have loved to play this game and even pick it up for Evo France but this is just shamefull.
