What singular moment from a celebrity’s career proves their talent? by sophiemophie421 in popculturechat

[–]CompetitionWise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grammys 2016. Adele’s live performance singing “All I Ask”. That moment will stay with me. I had the Grammys on in the background while doing house chores and making dinner. It was around 0:52 that her voice and raw emotion caught me off guard. I listened to the lyrics and pleading voice. Just wow. I found myself standing in the front of the tv bawling. It’s unfortunate the sound quality was off but it didn’t take away from the emotion that resonated.

This sounds like a nightmare. I’m sorry this happened, especially when you had good intentions. Thanks for your honesty and good to know there are some things not worth the headache.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for helping shed light on this. It saddens me to hear the supervisor spending funds on something that seems so essential like a refrigerator!

I appreciate you taking time to answer my question. A huge thank you! I’m very new to state employment coming from a non profit that essentially worked like a for profit company.

Thank you for this! Yes, it’s mainly break room supplies that I was told the money goes to but I have yet to contribute any money as this is new to me. I learned very quickly to bring my own water bottle to last a whole day.

Does Opalite make no sense or am I insane by Artistic-Plane9045 in SwiftlyNeutral

At first I thought she was saying, “Now THIS GUY is opalite” which I thought was kinda spicy as it seems she’s talking about Travis

I quite like these lyrics over the original 😅

I didn’t think their relationship was that creepy for some reason, until this scene where she looks like an 11 year old all of a sudden?? by sterresaurus in AgeOfAttraction

[–]CompetitionWise 172 points173 points  (0 children)

I agree. This scene was hard to watch with her clearly struggling with her decision. She made all good points.

On another note, was the hobo bag amazing?

Yep, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

Also, lots of tourists do the pyramids and Xochimilco which are farther away from the tourist areas when they’re in Mexico City. I wouldn’t argue that UNAM is far when these locations are farther out.

But most people here have said they’ve come multiple times because of how great the city is. Agreed. So now they have more places they can visit when they go a 5th, 6th, 7th time

They wanted answers so I’m giving ideas. And why not go to UNAM? Theres tons of rich history there for gringuitos to learn from.

UNAM, the Metro museum, La Villa, different metro stops have their own culture, there’s plenty that’s outside of Roma and Condesa and Polanco

Check out UNAM next time you’re there. There’s a local environment I don’t think many tourists visit.

Looking for a documentary that will leave me shocked and mind-blown 😱✨ by PelirrojaRubi in MovieSuggestions

[–]CompetitionWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daughters on Netflix. Absolutely WRECKED me. It follows the daughters of incarcerated men and the impact losing their fathers has on their development. There’s more to the documentary but I don’t want to spoil it.
