I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me. That you now see this thread in your recent activity after you added it back to your recent activity? No one doubts that. My question is: why did it ever leave your recent activity? I think we're talking past each other.

I'm assuming it left my recent activity because no one commented on it since 2023 and so it dropped down to make room for other more recent comments on other posts. Once there was a new comment from you, it returned to the top of my recent activity. So yeah it's fair to say I have no idea what problem you're trying to solve but even so I thought I made it clear I was done for the evening. Best of luck and good night.

That's why I tested this??
Sorry you're mad, dude. You seem to use fanfare a lot more than me and I figured that you'd be invested in solving this problem with the subsite, too. 🤷

Now it shows up in my recent. It did not when none of the recent activity was by me.
Like, it should have. There was recent activity by someone. Letting me know that is the whole idea, right?
Something is weird.

Sara is horribly bullied by total assholes, including her one-time best friend... the bullying makes those kids the target of a kidnapper/possible killer... and he lets Sara go. All she has to do to end the bullying is... nothing. Is she okay with that? The directions this goes are fascinating.
Laura Galán is AMAZING in this.
Terrific little film. Serious trigger warnings for bullying, violence. Even so, this might be one of those films that people who do not normally watch horror could, with a bit of eye-covering, truly appreciate.
Pereda does something very interesting, shooting the film in 4:3 Academy ratio, rather than widescreen. The result is that Sara constantly seems boxed in, trapped.
This isn't a huge movie, just a small one with keenly-observed depth. But I will be going out of my way to see Pereda's next film.
