Finally, the first movie about a female superhero AND the first movie with a female lead. Kind of amazing that it took us as a society such a long time to allow women to appear in movies, to be honest. #itsgettingbetter

Gonna be funny if it flops and suddenly Infinity War 2 is based around a new character no one cares about. We might see them go full Poochie.

Captain Marvel got her powers absorbed by Rogue on the way to her home planet.

Extremely obvious CGI replacement with an actress doing an adorably bad Southern accent.

The post credits sequence where they desperately try to set up enough future plot hooks to keep people from losing interest after the logical endpoint of a decade-long arc and likely the sendoff for most of their big draws... I'm gonna real drunk for this one.

I’m at the point where I’m watching more foreign films and B-movies than I am regular Hollywood movies because the action isn’t a bunch of CG cartoon crap with no impact or weight

being on an insulin pump loving sucks lol

even if it's covered under insurance the company will lie and say it's not every month when you try to order new supplies so you will have 1-2 week periods where you run out of working sensors and insulin

fixing this costs at least several hours of calls done during work hours. every month.

As far as I'm concerned, it's just a shorthand for "be a reckless consumerist pig and feel good about it"

or like suddenly your prescription will expire because that's totally a thing that makes sense for a chronic condition so they will halt all supply deliveries until you pay for another trip to the doctor

and then when they write a new prescription the insurance company will lie and say it's not covered. again.

i just got a tonsilitis diagnosis and when the staff at my south korean clinic found out i was uninsured they were worried that the cost might drive me away

it was forty bucks for the doctor to get the poo poo off my tonsils twenty for the optional iv treatment and ten for the medicine i dont think they believed me when i said the same treatment would cost a thousand times as much in the us

It's just a cutesy new way to phrase 'personal responsibility', ie, society shouldn't care about its members an iota beyond their ability to pay for people to serve them

The Joker was wrong, and Thatcher was right, we don't live in a society, we live in an atomised post-apocalyptic hellhole where some of the raider gangs have brands and billboards.

Well no it's a real mental health concept that's good to follow (i.e. its easy to get caught up in the stress of life and what you need to do for others, learn to care about your own needs sometimes).

But it rings hollow coming from those putting stressors on people to begin with.

I got my wisdom teeth out for 5 dollars in Taiwan. There is a yearly cap of 2000 USD you spend on medical care here (for what is considered essential), and every dollar send above that you get back as a refund. US healthcare is a poo poo show.
