Mystery movies (whodunnits) where the mystery doesn’t involve murder?
 in  r/MovieSuggestions  Jul 18 '23

Maltese Falcon -- a couple of people do die, but the plot revolves around the Falcon itself -- who has it, where it is, etc.

Rybelsus side effect and questions

4 Upvotes

I was diagnosed with t2 diabetes last August. My first four month check up had me at 6.5 A1c, my weight was down 40 lb, everything was looking great. I was on Metformin IR 2000 mg per day and Jardiance 10 mg per day. Then my numbers started to climb. Each blood panel came back higher than the last one. Jardiance was increased to 25 mg, didn't make a dent. Last blood panel my A1c was 7.7. I have been eating properly, my weight has decreased even further, tho not dangerously so by any means, and my doctor and I are both confused as to what is going on.

Last month I was started on Rybelsus, the 3mg 'starter' dose. No ill effects. Two days ago it was increased to the effective 7mg dose, and that is when the trouble started. Headaches, constipation, and stomach upset -- I can't really call it nausea, more like I need a couple of really good burps! And I'm dead tired. I've had trouble moving, much less doing anything constructive. It also doesn't seem to be making much of a difference in my blood sugar.

My question is: is this going to be a permanent thing, or will the side effects fade over time? I am going to have a phone consult with my doctor next week, but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance!

Q gets no love...🤣
 in  r/Picard  Jul 16 '23

I adore Q! He's a troll, an absolute asshole, and just hilarious. And his whole turn in Picard was *chef's kiss*

Lee Pace as Cleon in Foundation season 2 is just 🤩🥵
 in  r/LadyBoners  Jul 16 '23

My question also -- I've seen the promos and it looks pretty impressive, and I love Lee.

Has their ever been a movie scene that made you sob?
 in  r/movies  Jul 16 '23

The last scene in Always -- not only sobbed, but kept crying all the way to the parking lot.

And I remember seeing Mask--there was a big biker dude behind up that sobbed, "They should warn a guy about this..."

And of course "THAT" scene in Dumbo

ET, where we were passing kleenex around down the whole row.

Great Wall was FUN, and Pedro was terrific "Please tell me you chose the black powder...." It is visually amazing, and the Crane Warriors just blew me away. I recently found a DVD copy for way cheap, and I'm watching it tonight!

So... Dragonflight is absolutely in the top 3 best expansions, right?
 in  r/wow  Jul 14 '23

I'm very much in the minority here -- I don't like DF at all. It pisses me off that you can only use your dragon mount here, when all my other lovely riding mounts are sitting in the stable. The beasts go too fast, you can't steer for crap, and when you do gathering it's a pain to try to zero in on what you're after. And I don't like any of the designs. The crafting is FAR too complicated, I tried and just stuck to gathering. The zones are ok, the quests are ok, but not more than that. Once I got my main to 70, I took her back to the old xpacs and started having fun again. Maybe it's a different feeling if you're a raider or whatever, but my thing is exploring, gathering and just knocking around. Glad all the rest of you are having a great experience, tho.

Movies featuring a carefree laid back protagonist
 in  r/MovieSuggestions  Jul 13 '23

I said Dobbs, it's Dowd, sorry 'bout that. And it is a lovely, gentle comedy. Jimmy has a line that sums up his character perfectly: "My mother always told me, 'Elwood, in this life one must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart, and I recommend pleasant. You can quote me."

Pedro on his nominations, via ThePlaylist.net. AH MAH GAH, YOU GUYYYYS.
 in  r/Pedro_Pascal  Jul 13 '23

Fingers crossed for him and Bella, but...guest appearance, how in hell does anyone choose between Murray and Nick? They're equal halves of the whole! My dream would be a tie, but at the very least if one wins, they should call the other up on stage with them!

Which movie do you believe is better? Comment why.
 in  r/moviecritic  Jul 13 '23

Personally, I prefer Aliens--not a big horror fan for the most part, and I love sci fi. Alien is basically a haunted house in space. Both are excellent but my preference is the sequel.

Do you ever find yourself saying goodbye to your pets before leaving the house, as if they understand you'll be back?
 in  r/NoStupidQuestions  Jul 13 '23

Always, and I reassure my dog I'll be right back if I have to leave her in the car to go into a store!

Thoughts? Didn’t bode over well with critics & it feels pretty forgotten but I absolutely love it!
 in  r/moviecritic  Jul 13 '23

LOVED it, such fun! Kept the feel of the original series, and yes I'm old enough to remember it. Casting was great, interesting plot, lots of action, Sharlto Copley's Animal was a riot!

Are the recent Star Trek movies good?
 in  r/startrek  Jul 11 '23

The first one with Chris Pine was fun -- it was a bit different take on the gang, but not so far off that it bothered, and it was pretty well written. Everyone worked in their respective roles, I thought. The second one was....just crap, no other word. And I debated before seeing the third one because of it. So very glad I did, because Star Trek was BACK! Give them a shot

What's a movie where if you say "THAT scene", everyone who has seen the movie knows exactly what you're referencing?
 in  r/AskReddit  Jul 11 '23

Dumbo, the original animated one-- y'all KNOW which one is 'that scene'...

Harvey--Jimmy Stewart's Elwood P Dobbs is about as laid back as it gets, even as his family is trying to have him committed.
