Is Ace Ventura insensitive?

I watched Ace Ventura again not too long ago. Jim Carrey is wild in that movie, but bearably wild, unlike the sequel, which is cringe-worthy. But as an eccentric, he also seems to go overboard when he finds out the truth about Finkle and Einhorn.

I Know All there is to know about the crying game...

Yeah, he's absolutely disgusted by it. It's a whole transsexual thing that was to be frowned upon, and this PG-13 family comedy was perfectly happy to make it a major plot point, but would it be acceptable in 2019? Everyone is PC as fuck, and they'd probably get ultra offended by its disdainful approach at lgbtqueef bologna, and that makes it a little more funny. Also, even the police force is disgusted by it. This movie would be protested if it was made today.

Taking cold medications together

This is probably literally the last place on the entire internet where I should be seeking medical advice. I know that. BUT aaaaanywho, has anyone here had to figure this shit out recently? Like, this winter? If you have spent time thinking about it recently maybe you have something constructive to say. Don't worry, I will try to double check anything you say, but if anybody has recent personal experience dealing with these things, here is your big chance to share any wisdom you may have... developed? Arrived at? Won? You know what I mean.

So, that preamble was longer than my question itself will be. Anyway, I have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, and minor aches and pains. Not REALLY bad aches and pains like when you get the flu, but definitely some malaise. So, I went to CVS and got their CVS version of Tylenol with acetaminophen, a decongestant with phenylephrine hydrochloride, some menthol cough drops, and their CVS version of Robitussin DM with dextromorphan HBr and guaifenesin. (Yes, I realize that I probably just set the Trash Epics website all time record for the most spelling errors in one paragraph, despite really trying to double check every word, but please hold your applause). Right now, at this very moment, I have ALL of those things pumping around in my bloodstream. As I was taking one of the last medications, I sort of scratched my head and thought "Golly gee whillikers, am I killing myself right now by taking all this crap together?" I'm pretty sure I'm not killing myself, but maybe I should spread these things out a little more.

Anybody have any thoughts on any of this? I expect a certain amount of jokes and abuse here, of course, but if anyone really understands these things I'd appreciate your input.

Visual Themes

I've been reworking the look of the site a bit, so if you head to the bottom of the page, you can now select different themes for your TE experience. It's like the picture background stuff, which I've tried to mostly retain, but it also affects fonts and a few other details. Try it out. See what you like, and tell me what needs improvement.

What Book Are You Currently Reading?

I'm reading two. I don't normally read two at time, but since one is a film book, it's easy for me to go back and forth between the two.

Regional Horror Films 1958-1990: A State By State Guide With Interviews
Thank you to Psychobeatnik for making me aware of this. Really interesting read, there's films in here I've never heard of.

Guy N Smith's Bats Out Of Hell British killer bats book. It's a fun little read. Bats infected with virus are loose in England, biting people, and turning them into foaming mouthed psychos.

The Doctor of Democracy (A thread about politics, current events and where you get your news)

So in a world of near infinite media outlets, I daily find myself struck but what people think and where they get their information from. So I have a couple of questions for the site.

First of all who knows who I'm talking about in the title?

Second, where do you get your news?

Third, how many hours a week do you listen to or think about news/current events

Fourth, how's your day going?

Great music videos
