  • I have 2 films, Threads (1984) and Come and See (1985). Both are films I think more people should see, but I have a hard time recommending them.

    Threads is a film that tries to show what would happen after a nuclear exchange during the Cold War, and the plot goes almost 2 decades into the future after the bombs drop. It gets pretty heavy, initially showing burning cities, survivors dealing with dead bodies, radiation sickness, and fallout; and the collapse of civil order. It moves into trying to grow food to survive, birth defects after radiation exposure, how people are trying to survive in a dog-eat-dog ruined world, etc. Anyone who thinks dropping a nuclear bomb anywhere should see this movie, but man, it can be a hard watch.

    Come and See is a Soviet film about what happened on the Eastern Front as the Einsatzgruppen moved through Belarus. The main character of the film is a 14 year old boy named Florya who finds a gun and is drafted along with Soviet partisan fighters. Most of his home village is murdered by Nazis, and he ends up travelling through the battlefields with a small group of partisan fighters, watching them die in all sorts of horrific ways. One of the defining moments of the film is an Einsatzgruppen squad forcing an entire village into a wooden church at gunpoint, ripping children from their mother’s arms, throwing grenades in through the windows, and eventually burning it down with the whole village inside, which Florya narrowly escapes. I’m leaving out lots of details, but I think people should see it to get an idea of the brutality the Nazis inflicted on not just Jews, but the people of Eastern Europe as well, but it’s another hard watch.

    TLDR: Actually 2 movies I think people should see, but that I have a hard time recommending because both will absolutely ruin your day.



  • Alright, I came in with a good faith answer about how the English language is used, and you started absolutely shitting your pants en Français, so apparently you’re not interested in any sort of discourse, you came here to argue, so let’s fucking go.

    The balls you have to have to call me a “colonizer” is fucking insane. Are you fucking kidding me? You’re literally French, look in the goddamn mirror. Remember those Haitians you were talking about, the ones that liberates themselves? Liberated themselves from who, motherfucker? Dit bonjour aux esclavagistes pour moi.

    I don’t know why you’ve immediately perceived me as an enemy, I hate the orange fuck more than you do. Sure, American foreign policy may have an effect on you, but it’s nothing like American domestic policy. I have to deal with my tax dollars being spent on bullshit wars. I have to deal with grocery prices nearly doubling in a matter of 2 years due to dumbfuck tariffs. ICE is shooting people in the street, and the military is bombing schools overseas.

    I am not your enemy, I do what I can to resist the regime, but I have to survive. There are few good choices here. I cannot throw my life away to accomplish nothing. Far-right extremism is on the rise across the Western world; I hope you remember how you treated us when Le Pen wins and you’re trying to fight the good fight.

    two unopened packs of Zofran, a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. It’s a controlled substance but does not produce euphoria or a high that recreational drug users typically seek.

    Bruh, what the fuck even is this reporting. Zofran (ondansetron) is given to all sorts of patients for nausea and vomiting, not just cancer patients, and it sure as shit isn’t a controlled substance.
