I agree, but I’m concerned that this might stop some folks from seeking mental health care, when they otherwise might have.

Baxter! NOOOO

As a Texan who has no pride in their state at all and is actively making plans to move to a different state, I strongly disagree.

It was apparently in the ToS that they hold the right to run background checks on hosts and renters alike, when they choose to. Granted, it’s not an in-depth check, but any criminal records that are accessible to the public are accessible to them.

It’s funny - I’m often in charge of booking the stay for large family get togethers and trips, and I exclusively used AirBnb. However, after using their service for 6+ years, they ended up canceling a reservation I had had for months THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR TRIP. I didn’t even realize they had canceled on me til our plane had landed.

Turns out, they suddenly had a problem with a misdemeanor I had been charged with 8 years prior when I was 20 (minor possession of marijuana). They disabled my account and said I couldn’t rent through them anymore because of my criminal history. I reached out to them and offered an explanation, as well as reminding them that this was an old conviction of a minor drug possession. I don’t have a criminal record beyond that, and had been an avid customer of theirs for many years with raving reviews. They still denied me, and I’m still banned to this day. So yeah, they can go fuck themselves.

I agree that the idea of it is terrifying. I just feel like they executed it poorly in the movie. They somehow made it a little hokey.

Talk To Me. I would also say Sinister and The Conjuring are my favorites, and I also struggle to find scary movies that genuinely scare me. Watch this alone in the dark the first time. It is now my all-time favorite scary movie, and it’s fairly recent.

Burnout 3 baby!!

This is the kinda selfless attitude the world needs.

Go fuck yourself

When I was first starting as a server at this one restaurant, I swear every other phrase out of my coworkers’ mouths when they saw me during the entire first 2 weeks was, “you having fun yet?”. And everytime, I’d give a half-assed smirk and say “oh you know it”. So dumb. That phrase still irritates the shit out of me to this day.

Noo that’s the wrong direction

Fantastic game. One of the ones that has stuck with me through the years.

I have a fair amount of freckles. I don’t come from or live in an area where it’s very common.

You’re a great dude, Margot Robbie.

No, but with all of the hype and excitement around it, I thought there was something extra-special about this movie. Like an interesting/unexpected story.

Barbie.

I like Margot Robbie. I like Ryan Gosling. I like fun movies. But idk, it just didn’t really appeal to me, and the plot felt predictable. I don’t regret watching it necessarily, but I also have no interest in watching it again.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Stop this thread, and burn it with fire.

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 15 years ago - had the endoscopy and then a couple of years later, had the blood marker test to verify. My reactions to eating gluten have not been consistent, and I don’t know what to make of it. More often than not, I get the diarrhea and bloating. Sometimes I get the nausea, but only once have I thrown up from eating gluten. Sometimes I get nothing at all (not as common, but it happens).

Then there was a period of about 1.5 years where I’d get random swelling in my face (usually in my eyes and lips), and hives. My sinus cavities would often get very swollen and irritated, too. But that suddenly stopped, and is no longer a symptom.

Been to a few different gastroenterologists over the years, and went to an allergy doctor when I was having all the facial swellings. Nobody was able to explain why I have such inconsistent reactions, but they are confident I have Celiac disease.
