One comment removed for not answering the question. This isn't so a question about Korean cuisine.

Hi folks, just a mod note to recommend that people be gentler with those in abusive situations. We know the intention is good, but to those within the situation, the forceful, authoritative tone can feel like a further erosion of their agency and cause the person to shut down or ignore the suggestions, even if they are helpful. Please try to moderate your tone for the person who really needs the help.

Pedantzilla: "@bluedaisy, I'm not "avoiding" the NYT - they are a garbage paper that is actively working against the American people (not to mention the rest of the world) and you should feel bad about giving them your money, so I am happy to shame you for whatever weak rationalization you want to give."

No one should be reveling in trying to shame anyone on AskMetafilter, knock that off. If you can't, please avoiding commenting.

Done!

knile: "Leuchtterm1917 notebooks"

Hey this link is broken and not sure what you meant to link to, maybe this notebook in the yellow? If not, let the mods know and we can update the original link. Edit: now that link is down, even though it was working a second ago! Bottom line, Leuchtturm1917 has notebook similar in color to what the OP was asking for.

One comment (seemingly unrelated to the thread) removed.

These are the films that check the boxes for "laugh until you cry" humor.

Hey, just a reminder that those sorts of films aren't what the OP was asking for. They want to know "What movies start with the main character dying, and then flash back to the life of that character and events leading up to the death?" so please just stick to suggestions along those lines, thanks!

Edited to add: OP of this comment asked for it to be removed in the a.m. EST of 11/29

Hi all.
We're starting to get into derail territory with the discussion of the phrase "Chinese whispers" so please drop that topic from this thread, but feel free to bring it up in MetaTalk.

No comments have been removed.

Noting that the terms "transmale" and "transfemale" are considered problematic because these are medicalizing terms associated with Trans-Exclusionary views. The preferred the terms are "trans man/woman" or "transgender man/woman". I've reached out to the member in question and edited the comment with their permission.

One comment removed for seemingly not answering the question. MeMailed OP of comment for clarification.

Winnie the Proust: "[Op, you wrote that you live across thecounty but I believe you meant to say you live across the country. If that’s correct perhaps a kindly mod could fix it for you, as it’s an important detail.]"

Yes, op connected us to say they did mean that they live across the country in California. The post has been updated to reflect that clarification.

One comment removed for being posted to the wrong thread.

Also, it's likely that the OP of this AskMe means they live across the country, not county.
