except the cheat sheet was written by an overimaginative fourth-grader who once had the test's subject described to them

cool cool cool, so, if her doctor was using an AI chat bot, the doctor would still have been using that research, and the chat bot probably wouldn't have given you the date the paper was published or the name of the researcher, and you wouldn't have known to change doctors???

"my mom was given a very difficult to understand 7-year-old research paper and I knew the researcher through PCF and AGDQ so I reached out to them and they said the research was out of date and we should switch doctors"

that's how trust works, though? you trust someone until they make a mistake, then you lose some trust until they do the work to prove they are worthy of trust again ... and this corporate apology by itself? does not do any work to build back trust

13/10 best comment on this fucking thing

so if long term weight loss CANNOT BE MEANINGFULLY ACHIEVED, how can weight loss be part of cancer prevention?

"In a meta-analysis of 29 long-term weight loss studies, more than half of the lost weight was regained within two years, and by five years more than 80% of lost weight was regained"

UGH, I hate public proposals so much

but okay, this is pretty funny

David shows up at Rachel's show, unexpectedly

Rachel, surprised: David!

Clay, on his knees having proposed to Rachel: no, it's Clay

okay, "did women do something to you?" is Clay's best line so far

Clay is just so ... bland? like, he's basically Chris Hemsworth's character in Ghostbusters (2016), only less quirky and less funny

ugh, I get that the Golem (his name is Clay) knows her so well that he can basically read her mind, but I don't get his appeal 🤷🏻

I've always preferred nerdy guys to beefcakes, though, so that's probably at least part of why I'm more into the reedy comedy guy (who is a real person and not a Golem)

I get that they need to explain Golems to the goyische audience, but a Jewish sculptor who has never heard of the Golem?!?

Main Lady's mom is, uh, infuriating

like Jewish Mom Stereotype turned up to eleven

anyway, thanks for reading! hopefully Hallmark will make our Trans Hanukkah Hallmark Movie in the next year or two

the sisters aren't Jewish, they weren't raised Jewish, neither of them had Jewish mothers & no one pulls the Love, Lights, Hanukkah! crap of "we're half Jewish? time to celebrate Chanuka!", but it's still a Jewish story

oh yeah, there's a romance, and it's fine, but the family story is everything

he leaves them each half of the family run apple orchard that is actually failing & I was watching this going, I can't put my finger on it but this movie feels slightly Jewish?

...

AND THEN THE REVEAL: the sisters' paternal grandmother escaped the Holocaust with antiques that might save the farm
