    It's like the uncanny valley hairs-on-the-back-of-the-neck discomfort, but more general.
    Exactly, yeah.

    Have you seen the Beyond the Black Rainbow trailer? It's like three minutes of that. There's almost nothing explicitly disturbing aside from some closeups of injections, but it leaves me with this very generalized feeling of D:
    Yes. I wanted to see that but Lovefilm don't have it and I have no idea how to get hold of it.
    "Lovefilm" just sounds like a Japanese pornographic video service.

    It hasn't gone into any sort of wide release yet - I think it's still shopping around for a distributor.

    it's not that i dislike cats- it's that dogs are god tier. i would save one ugly, leprous, half dead dog over a thousand vital and healthy kittens. dogs are just the best.

    but so long as no dog is present i will happily scratch the ears of a cat. they are cute and fine pets.

    they're just kind of useless in a world in which dogs exist.

    I'm so mixed on the dog and cat thing. On one hand, cats take care of themselves. And they can be affectionate. But that affection pales in comparison to the perpetual slavish devotion that a dog will show you. It's like having a genuine best friend forever, and all you have to do is buy lunch.

    And I can pet them all crazy like instead of this mute cat-petting shit.

    Netflix.

    Didn't have it when I looked (bizarrely, it seems you can search from the Xbox app without signing up but not from their website).

    Lovefilm's selection is considerably better anyway, although that's mostly because netflix only does streaming, and neither of them are really up to much relative to the main streaming services.

    Fucking fuck, fuck doctors.

    Jesus. Called to schedule this physical/exam the day after I got the news I was being accepted into JET. Got the soonest day they would give me. Told them it wasn't soon enough, argued with them, got it sooner, had to ditch class for it but I got it sooner. Doctor checks me out by refuses to sign the paperwork until all the tests come in, one test will take 2 days, that's fair. So I go today, first day the results are in from the tests to get my paper signed. Apparently the doctor isn't here today and I have to leave the paper with a note for him and they say it will take 3-5 business days to respond, not counting weekends. I asked if they could expedite it in anyway and they said no promises. 3-5 business days, excluding weekends, could easily put me past the deadline for giving this paperowrk to JET to get accepted.

    Fuck. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

    Call them back. Tell them you aren't going to pay for the physical if you don't have your signed paperwork by the time you need it, and that you're going to call your insurance company and dispute the charges.

    Like, seriously, healthcare administrators that work in doctor's offices are eight kinds of retarded. Stop thinking of them as people, and start thinking of them as some kind of brain-damaged pet.

    Just make it clear to them that you're going to make it way harder on them to get you the paperwork later instead of now. This is a "squeeky wheel" situation.

    Cats are nice companions. They are affectionate and validating and sometimes silly.

    The doctor is supposedly in tomorrow, so if he does not call me telling me to pick up the paperwork tomorrow I guess I'll call and nag the shit out of them. Technically I think my physical was fully covered under my (dad's) medical plan. I haven't paid them anything, so far.

    Seriously, you are a customer, and they are charging you a fucking ridiculous amount of money, even if you aren't the one paying it. Be the asshole. Make it clear that it is going to be easier on them to get you the paperwork tomorrow than to wait on it. It will honestly take two minutes of the doctor's time, the only reason they're not getting it to you sooner is sheer laziness.

    I'll probably call and try to talk directly to my doctor tomorrow. He personally is a very hard working and sweet man, I'm sure if I can just cut through the bureaucratic bullshit and get to him direct it will be fine.

    Cats have a higher chance of eating you if you die than the dog. You are just a dinner waiting to happen to a cat.

    Dogs can be loyal to a really insane point. Never met a cat like that. It is really nice to have a living creature demonstrate that loyalty by just looking at you.

    That puts the scene from the movie Batman Returns where Selina Kyle is coming back from the near death in a whole new light.
