Curry ketchup is amazing on hot dogs. Kroger, of all places, started carrying their own in-house brand of it. I've only seen the authentic German stuff in places like World Market.

Oh yeah i always put an egg in ramen. I also find that minced garlic from a jar is a great addition to almost any food.

Edit: I wish this fuckin rear end in a top hat would just die. The cops won't do anything even though he's borderline catatonic and drinking like 3 bottle of liquor a day. The hospital won't loving admit him. If none of the people you're supposed to call in a situation like this are going to do anything for him, what the gently caress.

I'm rewatching all of Indiana jones and man it would be cool to take one of those PanAm water jets he takes from San Fran harbor at the beginning of Raiders. Too bad those days are long gone.

Also these movies are immensely entertaining. I'm curious as to how many of these tropes It created vs just used effectively.

He was conscious enough to tell the police that he is not suicidal. I guess he's only drinking himself to death "by accident". They said they couldn't do anything.

We've been at this for fuckin days. We couldn't get him out of his motel room until this morning. He had already drank a fifth by 11am. Took him to the hospital (voluntarily, he was on-board with this), they said they won't admit him. They don't do detox there. There's no place we can get him into until monday. So so we're still stuck babysitting him.

edit: Which I can't even actively help with. He doesn't want to see me because he's afraid I'm mad at him and he feels guilty an ashamed. While I am mad at him, this means my other roommate, his girlfriend, my best friend, is having to do all this poo poo alone.

At this rate, she's probably going to lose her job because she's spent all week trying to save this rear end in a top hat's life.

edit: I just don't know what the point of having hospitals is of you can say "hey, here's a guy with a history of alcolism, who has had alcoholic hepatitis, has been in the onset of liver failure before, and now he's gone on a 5 day bender during which he has drank 4-5 liters of liquor" and they are like "we're not gonna admit him"

That's loving literally an emergency.

They play the tape on the Times Square jumbotron and she rampages through New York, crushing buildings and stomping on people.

I remember when I saw the first movie the very first thing my friend said to me after it ended was "What if someone played the tape in Times Square or something?". I've always thought about that idea.

Samara's psychic power is to manifest images on tape and film. This was something she could do while she was alive. She could cast images into things. Possible even people (I think she caused nightmares). But now she's a ghost, so these images are haunted by her and allow her to manifest. It's not really that dumb, and I think it is kind of a cool twist on traditional haunting mechanics.

I like the idea that someone actually went and got a camcorder and made the tape. "Okay, so after the thing happens with the freaky ladder I need you to freak out the horses, okay...... Did you get that? Hello? Jesus Christ how am I supposed to know you're working with me on this if you won't loving talk! No wonder your parents threw you down a goddamn well."

I'm guessing this is the same dude that was watering down your liquor a few months back?

Down here in Florida it's really easy to have someone committed against their will (a Baker Act), all you need is 2 witnesses. It pretty much happens all the time to drunks/junkies when they go out on a run and their loved ones don't know what to do. In your situation, though, sadly, there's pretty much nothing you can do without his consent. I'm guessing he isn't open to talking to you and his girlfriend about getting help, so that pretty much leaves you guys with the option of just not enabling him to do this under your roof.

I don't ever suggest to people to stop trying to help their loved one, because sometimes they'll die. But at the same time, for some, letting them suffer the consequences of their actions is the only thing that will convince them to get help. Alcoholism and addiction is a bitch cause there's no clear cut way to help someone. Sometimes letting them go helps, and sometimes doing everything within your power to micro-manage and save them helps. Sometimes they die despite all effort or restraint.

You could find an AA meeting to take him to, and with some luck, it'll be a good one with responsible members who are about sharing solution and helping new-comers. That's not a guarantee though, as a lot of AA has been infected with a sort of group therapy and culty self-help bullshit that has ran a lot of people off, even though it has nothing to do with the original message and mission of AA.

Thanks for replying. The current update is that he's at home now, resting. I've got some oral rehydration formula for him and he's eaten some and been drinking water.

He's done AA meetings, and up until this relapse he's been going to outpatient rehab classes. The plan now is for him to go to inpatient rehab on monday. Now that we know he's at least safe from drinking more and we can watch his condition closely, it much less stressful thatn when he was in the motel.

Because that's what it is. I cut up 1-2 hot dogs, and fry them with the (cooked) rice in some butter.

Oh wait. actually I put the cut up hotdogs in the ricewater while the rice is cooking, so that the hot dog "juice" helps flavor the rice.

Yeah man, it's a huge relief when an addict/alcoholic is in in-patient. One of the horrendous things about the disease/mental illness is that it makes everyone around the alcoholic sick too. When my brother was in treatment it gave my mom and I chance to finally breathe and not worry so much, but he got out and immediately relapsed and has just been on a rampage ever since. I got a text from my mom tonight (who just let him move back in with her cause he was homeless and hungry) that my brother had told her he owes a guy 10 grand and that both of their lives are now in danger, unless she gives him $300 to buy some weed to sell so he can magically flip it to 10k. The whole story is probably bullshit, or it isn't, but either way my mom is now in the trenches with him while I'm 1500 miles away. It sucks.

I get it though. I went to treatment 11 times (that's not counting detoxes and psych wards) before I was even able to put together 30 days clean. Everyone around me, for 10 years, was pretty much victimized by my addiction but I had no way of seeing that impact til I got to the position that I'm in now. It's brutal and it's heartbreaking. Good luck with everything and if you ever need to vent or anything you can DM me.

Growing Up Smith is a fun little coming of age film, if kinda derivative, but the more I think about it, the more some stuff feels a bit gross.

Like, part of the gimmick is that the main character's father supposedly wants the American Dream, but cannot shake the traditions and social mores of India when it comes to their kids, to the point of schlepping one of them back to India because he dared to stop a kid his age from running away. poo poo, the mother literally calls both kids whores for being in love with people other than the ones they are arranged to be married to.

Meanwhile, you've got the redneck white family that, while not understanding their strange brown neighbors (who don't eat meat!) make a much more sincere attempt to understand them than vice versa. They kinda paint said redneck family as estoeric than other white people, but it sure gives off a "wow, Indians are the Real Racist" vibe, unintentionally.
