Hey y’all, so this might be a bit of a dumb question, but I saw the trailer for Werewulf and while I’m genuinely interested in the movie (which also sent me down a rabbit hole of historical werewolf cases that I also love), would it (being an Eggers movie) be a bad for someone who has never seen a horror movie in the theater? I’ve seen some horror movies on things like cable or on streaming, but regarding actually seeing one in theaters I’ve never viewed one in theaters. I also generally don’t watch super messed up or extremely disturbing movies or stories, as I feel like it would just make me ruminate negatively over what I saw for god knows how long. And the only Eggers movie I’ve seen (which I also saw in theaters with my mom) was the Northman, but I get the feeling that movie wasn’t really standard procedure when it comes to Eggers’ horror style. Again, sorry if this seems like a really stupid question to ask here, I guess I’m just curious as to what yall (who are kinda experts with his movies) would think. Thanks.

Hey y'all, i'm fairly new to the makeup world and so there's a lot I still don't know about it, so I apologize if this comes off as a dumb question. I'll be moving out of my apartment next week and go on a two day long drive back to my parents house. I'm trans so I don't want my parents seeing and making a big stink over my makeup and other stuff like clothes, so I decided to buy one of those black plastic containers from home depot and make sure nobody opens it, maybe working towards setting more boundaries with my parents as they can sometimes be nosy. However, i'm a little concerned about putting the makeup in this bin, as I don't know if makeup being in a bin that'll most definitely probably be warm or hot during the drive up will get ruined or go bad or not, and I plan on putting my clothes in there as well and so I'm also worried about it ruining those as well. But what do you guys think? Do I have to put my makeup somewhere else, or is it fine to put it in the bin with the rest of my trans stuff? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

EDIT: should probably clarify that my dad will be driving with me back home, so there's also that to consider with things.

Hey y’all, about a week or so ago I made a post here asking for advice on how to prepare my PC for transport. The general consensus I got from it was all I had to do for the most part is take the GPU out and strap the pc down during the trip. But now I have another question: how should I store the gpu for the road trip? Any advice and suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

Hey y’all, I’m going to be moving out of my college apartment in about a week or so, but while I was here I built my very own PC here that I want to bring back with me when I move out. I’ll be driving across the country, and it’ll be a trip that’s about 950 miles in total and will take 2 days of traveling. I really wanna make sure I don’t damage or mess up anything with my PC while I’m transporting it, so what should I do to prep my pc for transport across the country? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I know I made this post on another sub before, but I really really am worried now. This past weekend I went flying to LA for a family event, nothing too crazy, but then a friend of mine reminded me about hantavirus, and now I’m worried that I’m in the early stages after flying. Yesterday I could feel a sore throat developing, and today the sore throat got worse and now I’m all congested and I think that congestion is also adding to some nausea. I’m so terrified that my dumb ass decision just got me infected, and I’m going to end up dying and spreading it to all the people around me. I know that I’m probably reacting over nothing and that you can catch a whole heaping amount of things when you fly, but I’m still terrified because I don’t want to die. I can’t go anywhere to find solid answers or reassurance because news groups either “don’t have enough information” or they’re spouting the same shit they did during the early stages of Covid, and places like Reddit can’t ever make up their goddamn minds over whether or not it’s nothing and we should just calm down because it’s not able to spread as fast as Covid or if it’s all bullshit what the authorities and news are saying and that it is absolutely something to worry and panic about. I can’t fucking deal with the mixed messaging and uncertainty, am I fucking overreacting or did I somehow get near someone who had fucking hantavirus and now I’m going to be fucking dead in 40 days?????? I don’t know what to do, I know it sounds easy to just not look at the news or Reddit but it’s so damn hard to resist the urges to check so idk what else to do.

Ok so I really really really don’t mean to be one of those people who spread this sort of info around, and I know Reddit has a bit of a problem currently when it comes to this topic, but I really need help right now. I suffer from some pretty severe health anxiety that’s most likely made worse by ocd. Yesterday I flew to LA to attend a cousin’s graduation ceremony, but while I was on the plane a friend of mine on discord reminded me of that whole Hantavirus stuff that’s been going around. At first I didn’t think much of it, but then my thoughts got the better of me and I started googling. It spiraled and spiraled and the more I saw the worse it got, and now I’m fully convinced that if I didn’t catch it from someone while flying yesterday, I’ll absolutely catch it at some point tomorrow when I fly back to where I came from. I need help right now and I don’t know what else to do at this point.

I have no idea how to not be terrified of this. I know it’s mainly coming from those guys on the cruise, I know that this specific type of hantavirus is transmitted through close contact, and I know the WHO and CDC are monitoring the situation. But I just DONT KNOW what to think when nobody ever says anything consistent. Is the WHO to be trusted, or are they repeating the same mistake from covid that a shit ton of people on Reddit seem to bring up? Is the Andes strand or whatever the fuck it is hard to infect other humans with, or is it fucking easy? Is the fact that the flight attendant that was quarantined after coming into contact with one of the cruise passengers who had the virus was tested negative for it a good sign, or is it just one big fucking fluke due to how long it takes for symptoms to develop and show? Is the WHO and CDC reliable when they say the infection risk is low and travel shouldn’t be an issue, or is the fact that the CDC has been gutted mean they’re not reliable, and the fact that these passengers went on public airplanes with other people mean that ANYONE AND EVERYONE AT THE AIRPORT CAN BE INFECTED AND I FUCKED MYSELF???

I don’t know what to do and I need to get this shit figured out soon. I don’t know who to trust or who to believe, and my entire fun weekend with my family was ruined because my stupid friend on discord reminded me of a global fear now. So if anyone has anything that’ll help me get through this rough period, I really need it and I’ll forever be thankful.

Ok so this topic legitimately makes me go crazy every time it passes my mind, so I want a clear and accurate answer to this.

For context, I’m a college student at an apartment who uses a Britta pitcher water filter (been using the blue elite filters for the past year or so). I can’t afford to use something like those high end couple hundred dollar filters, and it’s too late at this point to invest in one of those sink filters given that I’m only gonna be here for a few more months. Due to a mixture of not wanting to spend more money on groceries and extreme health anxiety over microplastics, I can’t really justify buying water bottles every time I need to drink water. So I just wanted to ask: is the Britta filter that I’m using actually healthy to drink out of? Or have I been poisoning myself this entire time and just been too dumb to realize?

The only reason why I want a clear answer to this is because i can never get a definitive answer when it comes to this sort of thing. Going on places like Amazon and stuff britta seems generally well liked with people saying it’s worth the purchase, but then when you come to places like here you always hear about people saying how britta filters aren’t at all good, or how the open filter design means dust and all that shit will get in it, or how if you’re not replacing your water filter like literally every month or whatever you’ll get things like roach eggs in them. And the fact that I can’t ever get a clear definitive answer frustrates me, especially when all I want is clean and healthy drinking water and my health anxiety makes me worried that somehow, I’m slowly ruining my body purely because I didn’t choose this specific type of water filter that someone here knows about.

So I apologize if I came off as rude or dumb in making this post, but I really would appreciate it if you guys here would be willing to at least try and give me a definitive clear answer. Thanks.
