@i_am_bishi @msloobylou ...the same PCC that has such famously deranged audience behaviour that they now play an entire pre-film lecture, and have to specifically ask people not to laugh at inappropriate moments during rep films? I have a lifetime membership but their audiences are not a selling point.
English
@msloobylou We quite often go to the Prince Charles now, mainly because of the programming but always seems to be such a well behaved audience.
English
The cinema tonight had an intro film by Stephen Fry which was pretty horrible. Then the first hour the place was full of noisy packet rustling. One woman ate her crisps then ripped her bag up for extra noisiness.

@SarahHermit @heyaimsarah I live above a cafe in outer London that has always been most definitely open at 6am every single day.. the English Sunday trading laws specifically only apply to shops over a certain size, it just depends on the area as to whether there's enough business to justify opening early
English
@heyaimsarah Honestly had to read your post a couple of times to get it! The UK and Europe are shut at 6am on a Sunday. Over here Sunday is a day of rest. It's actually better than it used to be. Not so long ago it was illegal to open even supermarkets on a Sunday. Nothing at all was open.
English
I woke up in Athens on a Sunday morning at 6am (miserably jet lagged). I rushed out of the apartment to go searching for coffee. The only other soul out-and-about was an old man sweeping the street.
He asked me if I was okay and if I needed help. He was deeply concerned.

Okay guys, had a few cultural shocks in Spain: > Go to the gym, opens 10am on a Sunday > Go to work from a coworking, closed > Go to a coffee shop, no wifi Absolutely unthinkable in a barely productive economy like the US, yet alone UAE. Europe is a daylight museum.

@acequeenkingpin @Someones_Niece This is what we did before ao3, ironically enough.. One reason Dreamwidth was cloned to be a non-evil Livejournal was because LJ kept censoring fic. AO3 was created in response to keep fics safe from that at least, but LJ communities then ended up moving to Tumblr rather than DW
English
@Someones_Niece Not Ao3 but dreamwidth will let you make communities where you can make rules that every post has to be locked to community members and vet them before they join.
Downside is that’s more administration than ao3, upside is more control
English
I DESPERATELY need AO3 to introduce a safe space for writers where we can share ONLY with the people we want to and lock everyone without access out of the work because it’s no longer a safe platform for writers
English
@LucyGoBag I temped 25 years ago typing up notes for the weekend on-call child and adolescent psychiatrist.. it still haunts me now that they assessed multiple teenagers who ended up with liver failure due to a cry for help attempt with paracetamol. The awareness has never really been there
English
Our teachers would drum this into us at school - but anecdotally I am hearing that young people have much less awareness about this now. It’s not a drug to choose for a cry for help. Children see it used so casually including in the Calpol years that they have no idea….

Paracetamol overdose is time critical. What are the clinical presentations of paracetamol toxicity, who is at the greatest risk, and how should it be managed? #MedEd bmj.com/content/393/bm…

@lautjeda @booksandmulder It's not Romantasy at all tbh for lots of reasons - we're just living in a really annoying era where everything is getting drowned out and mislabeled Romantasy. Things used to be very different in terms of marketing fantasy and fantasy romance until the mid-2010s and I miss it 😭
English
@booksandmulder The everlasting by AliX E Harrow makes me think of those pictures, quite romance forward but not like booktok romantasy.
English
i wish i could find a historical fantasy book that feels like this with a slowburn romance thats sort of in the background. and not those booktok romantasy books with lots of spice i keep seeing when i search for book recs
English
@bookscandles13 @booksandmulder I think probably having a look for fantasy romance authors publishing in the 70s/80s/90s/2000s instead of contemporary recs might be helpful? Romantasy didn't exist until the mid-2010s and the historical/fantasy romance genres were doing pretty well before that
English
@booksandmulder It’s such a hard thing to find especially when romantasy is everywhere
English
@booksandmulder What you're looking for is something like pre-2010s Fantasy Romance as a subgenre - this is basically what was being published until Romantasy appeared in the last decade skewed towards more YA-level writing and tropes. There are some exceptions but mostly Romantasy is the issue
English
@cloispage @karenspunisher And it's even better because Frank is clearly in SO much discomfort having to pretend to hold her hostage - he's done everything else stoicly, but that's what breaks him.. And then he immediately hands Karen the gun in the elevator because he knows she needs it to feel safe
English
@karenspunisher and i love how it was HER idea on how to help them escape this unscathed from the police. frank was just willing to let what happens, happen but she was unwilling to leave him and actually came up with the hostage plan so they could both have a way out of this.
English
one thing i love about this scene was that it had all the romantic undertones of, "man going out of his mind to protect her" w/o making karen unable to help herself too and had her actually taking part in defeating the bad guy and then outsmarting the police together afterwards
English
@LuxMeaMundiAM @BlokeOnWheels More importantly, you can get incredibly disabling neurological symptoms from a migraine without any headache at all - there's so little understanding of it as a condition that people go undiagnosed and suffer for decades
English
@BlokeOnWheels I have horrendous migraines that cause me to lose part of my vision during an attack which can last days.
If I were to try and claim PIP for that alone, I never would’ve gotten it.
These people are clueless if they think you can claim for “headaches”.
English
Again, you don't get PIP for 'headaches',(Another bullshit claim I've seen this morning) you can get it for chronic migraines if they are so severe as to prevent you from carrying out basic daily tasks repeatedly, reliably and safely. All of which will be properly evidenced and assessed before any money is paid.
English
@BlokeOnWheels Migraine isn't even technically a headache disorder is the most frustrating part - it's a full body neurological disorder that can include headaches as one symptom. People don't even know to seek diagnosis because of misinformation like this...
English
@Deco_Noir @RichardLNewby3 It only became a problem specifically with the Craig era because they bizarrely ditched the ambiguity of Bond being a code name - once they started down that whole nonsense of a childhood home and literal gravestones with his family surname, it collapsed under the weight of lore
English
@RichardLNewby3 Sometimes I wonder if the 'cinematic universe' thought process of having EEEEEEEVERYTHING connected has destroyed modern moviegoers ability to enjoy a film as it's own thing.
Particularly with Bond, I don't recall anyone caring this much about continuity in previous decades.
English
Wild that so many people don’t understand that Craig’s Bond films are self-contained. We start with his first mission and end with his last.
But even outside of that, Bond plays fast and loose with continuity. Bond dying has nothing to do with production on the next film.
Tim Vine@RealTimVine
The reason why it’s taking so long to make the next Bond film is because they’ve sat down to write it and remembered that in the last one they killed him.
English
@ArcRaiderNation @DiscussingFilm Nope he doesn't usually do nameless amnesia... but it IS however literally the most Matt Damon plot ever 😂
English
Jason Statham will star in David Ayer's new film ‘JOHN DOE’.
The film follows a man with no memory, no past & no name who soon discovers he was trained for a mission and is being hunted by the people who assigned him.

@mssinenomine Those monitors are notorious for causing contact dermatitis for a lot of people, it's horrible stuff and I warn everyone I hear is getting one to keep an eye on skin reactions 😕
English
Cardiologist sent me to a business not a hospital for portable heart monitor.
Me: I have allergy to some adhesives.
It's a business. One model. One type of patch. No variations. Just take it.
Soon I develop contact dermatitis, oozing blisters.
"Oh well. Leave it in the dropbox."
English
@roryisconfused He basically hit the working TV actor jackpot and got multiple BBC primetime shows complete with his own spin-off that he also produces, probably not someone you need to worry about lol
English
Was wondering cos of this guy…he’s still getting by, it’s all good, he’s alright

Chris Marshall arrives for the After Party for The UK Film Premiere of Love Actually (2003)
English
I am curious sometimes when I look at the Wikipedia pages of bands that split up in 08 or actors who faded out of things a decade or so ago how they’re managing to eat, if they’re getting by okay, what’s going on now.
English
@11111four @YourLemonLove This is absolute rubbish - it's a condition absolutely impacted by your environment, structure and life stressors as you age, not to mention hormonal changes, so obviously it can suddenly be more disabling when people have a change of circumstances or less support in their life
English
@YourLemonLove I’m sorry about how people do not take your disorder seriously and you suffer immensely due to it , however ADHD is not a progressive disorder and does not worsen with age . If you’re experiencing cognitive/neurological decline you may need medical attention
English
It actually pisses me off how people treat ADHD as just some weird quirk. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD when I was 5 and there is not a single moment it doesn't affect my life. Even with meds, it only gets worse with age and I have to keep upping my dose.
Ebsnflows💋@ebsthegreatest
The way you lot see and treat ADHD as an annoying personality trait is ableist. And I will never stop saying it
English
@OrevaZSN You're missing the point that it gives you the freedom to leave your desk during the day though.. you can still be available and also pop out for a break every so often. The real trick is to install them on a second separate phone that you can then put away in the evening
English
@0xleegenz The fact this is literally a scene of someone so utterly bored with their corporate empire that they're reduced to plotting overly complicated museum art heists on the side for a little enrichment 😂
English
@sulpheoric @birthagod And he became the unofficial liaison for the astronaut team in the book - when they apparently randomly start telling him things like their chosen deaths in the film, it's because he was the one in the book who talked to them about practical things and took it back to Stratt 😭
English
@birthagod he knows how to do EVAs because he was a tester for EVA tools in neutral buoyancy tanks, he’s literally the leading expert in everything astrophage, and he signed off on practically everything to do with the mission because he was stratt’s right hand man
English
the bit they left out of the movie that i loved from the book was that he was TRAINED to do all of these things thinking stratt was just using him as a guinea pig
i mean she was but she was also fully prepared to send his ass up there no matter what
hel 击̸@birthagod
It amazes me how ryland managed to become the pilot, engineer, and scientist on Hail Mary. stratt knew his potential from the start
English
@ChefReactions Fexofenadine is the latest generation non-drowsy allergy med, most places that sell the brand name Allevia will also have their own generic cheaper version. Loratadine is the super cheap non-drowsy generic that you can buy everywhere (but Aldi and Lidl will have the cheapest)
