Absolutely fine, glad it sparked interest :)

Mainly only if you’re into film as a hobby. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff others have said about the story itself make it a good watch overall.

But it’s no better in that regard than any other teen drama movie.

It’s the way it was done that really makes it significant, imo.

Hughes had this really distinct visual style. Bright, vibrant, and kinda larger than life. He used it to take a look at slices of life that were, in the breakfast club, angsty as fuck. Most scenes are vivid, and the drama plays out in that almost candy coated world.

Since the cast was perfect for their roles, something else Hughes was great at imo, they managed to each fulfill their stereotype in a way that pops out of the screen. The very artificialiality of the cinematography and the almost cheesy costuming allows you to skip past a lot of immersion barriers and just enjoy the characters and dialogue.

Hughes was really good at that balance. The Breakfast Club is the best example of his vision. And, because it influenced so many other filmmakers and the industry, it’s an important one to watch from that perspective, even if it isn’t really going to resonate as well with someone born much later. Not that it can’t, or won’t at all, just that the entirety of teen living shifted post internet, and much of the gen Y range falls into that era.

So, yeah, if you’re into film as a hobby or more serious interest, you need to see it, and Ferris Bueler. Maybe throw in uncle buck as well as planes, trains and automobiles. Those two are kind of inverse because they’re built as comedies first, and that makes the vibe of the drama in them work different than his drama first movies (though Bueler may be debated about which it actually was as a base)

Yes

And, finally:

Man, I got a few thousand rounds of various ammo, and I need target practice. Line the fuckers up

Yeah, as part of a yearly exam for sure.

The “hold em and cough” test is for hernia, inguinal in specific. Those are possible without any specific external cause in childhood and teen years, and it isn’t something you can do yourself. You can refuse it though. Thing is, they’re better off being detected early. Should take no longer than two or three coughs.

Same goes for a testicular exam, but if you aren’t checking your own regularly, let the doc do it until you learn how to do it right. A proper testicular exam for abnormalities can take a bit longer, though only a few minutes at the outside by someone well practiced.

Otherwise, you’d only expect visual exams by most doctors.

Generally, if the young person has a penis and testicles, their primary doctor will do the exam, and that’s often a pediatrician even well into the teen tears. Young people with vaginas and vulvae may or may not have this equivalent exams done by a gynecologist, though it is more common once puberty hits afaik.

Illogic

I can be your problem, motherfucker

Dude, if you’ve got enough poo left on you to make a splash when it gets knocked loose, you have a digestive issue, not a bidet issue.

Steatorrhea is a symptom of many things. Diarrhea, while prone to spreading across the area, isn’t going to be flying everywhere, and you’re at least less likely to smear it around the way you would with a wipe.

Don’t get me wrong, you use what works for you. But your view of anal hygiene isn’t accurate

Nah, the temp really isn’t an issue. To the contrary, the cold is pleasant. Even in winter here, the water never gets that cold. I’ve used bidets at places with wells, and that’s actually warmer than what comes out of my taps since the pipes are exposed for less distance.

Regardless, the anus and perineum aren’t particularly sensitive to temperatures. You have to get close to freezing on the low end before it even resisters as cold. It otherwise is the equivalent of a cool breeze on a summer day. Even close to freezing, it isn’t exactly uncomfortable.

Well, first off, implants were not involved. The lady was known for her chesticles waaay before implants were a thing. She may or may not have had some kind of implants later in life to keep her existing measurements, but they were the same size in the oldest pictures of her as an adult. I don’t know about anything later in life, but i do know that boobs like that exist naturally, and that she started with that.

I’m not sure where folks get the idea she had implants when pictures exist like that.

Anyway, it’s kind of a tripartite thing. Music, charity/beliefs, and personality.

Musically, she’s one of the better songwriters out there. She was on par with, or better than, anyone of her generation for sure. Part of that was her ability to use her real life to make songs that resonated with a lot of people.

Her voice shifted a lot as she aged, but she was well loved for both the sweetness she could use, and her gentle vibrato. A high, almost crystalline tone that managed to never be shrill or piercing because she knew how to be delicate with it. You don’t have to like her music to recognize the skill she had with it.

In terms of her public works, she truly believed in doing good. Her book based reading initiative made sure that multiple generations of people grew up not only knowing how to read, but having access to materials that made doing so a normalized and omnipresent thing.

She was an outspoken advocate for “loving thy neighbor”. She was one of the celebrities that was behind gay marriage, and equal rights for gay people. That was also the case for trans people.

In other words, she practiced what she preached. She made a ton of money between her music and related business ventures, but she was willing to put it to work doing good things without making it missionary work. She didn’t just hand out bibles like some supposed reading initiatives do. Despite having a deep faith, she never pushed it on anyone.

And, importantly, that wasn’t just her public face. In her private life, she was well known for doing good acts for their own sake, even when nobody would know about it. But you talk to people from around where she lived and worked, and her generosity is legendary. Again, generosity without strings.

She also was known for having hiring policies with her businesses that were inclusive. Orientation, race, gender, nobody was excluded. And, again, it wasn’t just a front, because it wasn’t something she made a big deal out of. That was just how things were.

Then it comes down to her. She was a larger than life performer. When she was being DOLLY, she put forward the brighter, flashier side of her self, but in interviews and in person, she was open and honest and nice. She treated people well, and did so with no ego, and a down-to-earth simplicity that often belied how sharp she was. She had an almost self deprecating way of handling being famous, and that’s how she really was. She didn’t think of herself as being special, she was just grateful to have the chance to do something she loved and was good at.

Now, I never met her. But I know a ton of people that did. And I know a ton of people that had access to books as a kid due to her charity efforts. That’s going back decades, and it was not really a well known thing until maybe fifteen years ago or so.

Everything you hear about her from people that knew her, that had regular contact with her, it’s all about how damn good she treated everyone.

There’s places in Tennessee in specific that when people call her a saint, they aren’t just being nice. There’s folks that have been touched by her good works and place her on a much higher pedestal than she ever would have. Which kinda sums it all up. She never abandoned being a simple mountain girl, no matter how famous or rich she got, and she lifted others up along the way.

Me? I grew up hearing her music, but didn’t really become a fan until well into adulthood. I loved her as an actress, but it took me a while to “get” her music. Now, I can’t hear her sing without crying a little.

Ngl, when I first heard this thing existed I thought it was total facepalm territory, as in who the fuck would enjoy power washing as a video game?

Wellll. This fucker, it turns out.

It punches outside its weight class in terms of pleasurable time killing. Pws2, is just as good, though lacks the number of extras available. Mind you, the star wars dlc this pws2 is fucking geek heaven. Crawling all over iconic ships and machinery that’s executed in high detail is just fucking amazeballs. Pws1 has warhammer40k that’s equally detailed, if that IP is more your speed.

But just the base “game” career mode has weeks of shhhhhhhhsssshhhhhing available.

It still befuddles me how much I enjoy it. It’s totally not my kind of video game. I tend to prefer strategy or action stuff, with some racing and fighting thrown in. Pws 1&2 are essentially reverse coloring books. Dull as old people fucking as a concept, but it works.

Part of that (the cut placement) is making the prosthetics though. Yeah, you can make good looking cuts elsewhere, but the more the site moves, the more hassle it is. Facial prosthetics in particular run into trouble when they’re near the mouth or brows. So you end up with cheeks being preferred overall.

With the body, you run into issues with making something visible, movable, and believable. Gashes across the abs fail at all three, whereas shoulder and pecs are solid choices. Legs would be too, but they’re not in frame as much, and shouldn’t be without a good reason.

Everything on screen is a compromise of some sort.

Assuming that’s real, it would be totally justified to throw it against the wall and demand a real sandwich

It’s those layers

Nah, it can be annoying, but cross posting is a good thing. It decentralizes content. Not all instances are federated with all the others. Multiple communities is healthy for the fediverse. So cross posting is also healthy. Yeah, it would be nice if there was a way to collapse cross posts, but I’d rather deal with it than have things get too narrow.

Now post flooding? That can get old fast. Chill. Spread that shit out. We ain’t gotta see it all at once.
