Chit-Chat: Do you still believe in one another?

[Lucid]

I didn't watch most of the movies that won anything... I really liked Big Hero 6, I didn't care much for a lot of the others or just didn't watch them. My favorite movies of 2014 were Guardians of the Galaxy and The Book of Life... I hate going to the movies, it's stupid exespencive, I always just bring a giant purse and sneak in drinks and booze to compensate, gotta have popcorn though...

i think my favourite part of american sniper losing is the immediate backlash from the psycho rabid self-described 'american patriots'

I enjoyed American Sniper honestly, but it was worth watching it lose nearly every category just to see the "backlash from the psycho rabid self-described 'american patriots'" lmao.

 

[Castaigne]

The fact that American Sniper was what it took for people to actually be respectful during a movie was a disheartening experience. It was definitely a good movie but I wish people would have that same kind of respect more often :/

I watched like 10 minutes of the Oscars last night and I was super confused. I'm going back to Oscar ignorance

 

[Shining Raichu]

What do you mean that's what it took for people to be respectful during a movie?

I heard it was the same for everyone else who went to see the movie, but no one interrupted the movie at all. When the movie ended, literally everyone walked out of the theater in complete silence. That never happens, at least here. A lot of people were crying, too.

Usually the popular movies are filled with texting and chuckling and muttering and such.

[Alexander Nicholi]

I'm laughing so hard right now lmao

The pharmaceuticals want over $1K for my medication, and the insurance left us with a $966.33 co-pay

I'm dying


We have BlueCross BlueShield PPO Federal, one of the best insurance companies available, and they're paying $40

 

[Pendraflare]

An over $1k medication?! It must be some insanely rare type that can't be found anywhere else in the world... :o

 

[Lucid]

This is why this thread doesn't work anymore! Ain't nobody wanna talk about healthcare ya'll. ;<

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I don't even have any idea. I take lithium carbonate for bipolar which is old, generic, and dirt cheap; I take risperidone for a multitude of things which is also generic and thusly dirt cheap; I take atomoxetine which is not generic yet and runs between $70 and $80 but has been recently topping $90... my new medication, Abilify, is the only thing that's changed.


The biggest thing running through my head right now is how much those sample tablets we got were worth, wondering if that shit got in the wrong hands, how much it would sell for... holy crap




30 milligrams of this stuff, which isn't even an antidepressant or a mood stabilizer costs about as much as a mortgage.

Fuck.

 

[Bobbylicious]

This is why I stopped taking my meds coz wtf nty

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Our insurance is the best. THE BEST I TELL YOU.

And they're actually the ones paying the "copay"


This has got to be fucking cocaine or some shit I don't even... no. High grade coke doesn't even run this much for the amount. What is this

 

[Ice1]

that's a capitalist health care system...

 

[Bobbylicious]

It's only cocaine if u put it up ur nose

Once I did cocaine. But it was pepper. I just needed to sneeze rly bad.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Eh, I don't think the problem is so much capitalism as it is a duo of cronyism and a passive populace. If we had citizens who would stand up for competition and free business I wouldn't be paying more for a mood stabilizer than a cocaine addiction. It's all about the most people will pay and it's sad to see the limit so high. Passive, passive. Shame.


I should mention though it's not really a mood stabilizer, but in my case it's functioning as one. I forget the name but it's in the same class of drugs as my risperidone is, which is a hodge-podge group of meds that have many many functions for all sorts of things.

 

[adventuring]

It is a pity that some need to take drugs/meds so often in order to feel like a functional human being. I wonder how that came to be. Maybe it's always been that way.

Wow, Americans must have really shitty moviegoing etiquette, I never notice any disruptive behaviour here.

Meanwhile I burst out laughing at the end of American Sniper because the dude was the one part of the movie I couldn't stand and I had no idea until the very end that it was based on a true story lol
