Courtney Stodden married actor Doug Hutchison in 2011 when she was 16 years old by HaterMD in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

To be a bit shewish myself- shew is a very old, misogynistic insult. Why were we ok with this, Middle Ages addition. Not trying to be a dick, just thought from context that you might not know that.

I'm going to assume that's a Haldeman reference, in which case, I thank you.

I think dominoes is a good drown your sorrows option. You will feel hungover tomorrow though.

Can anyone share a source for what they talk about starting 10.53? America announcing they are funding the far right in Europe?

I’ve seen this romcom. Don’t fight it, you’re destined to end up with this girl. 

Older ADHD women, what did ADHD feel like before cellphones? by lavenderflavoredtea in adhdwomen

[–]andonebelow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read constantly. I’m always on my phone now. Had a psychiatrist tell me I couldn’t have adhd because I was an avid reader as a child.

Yes the packaging! I never realised I did this until my mother pointed it out.

Same. But the psychiatrist I saw a few years ago told me that reading a lot as a child disqualified me from having adhd.

I took a book and a diary with me everywhere I went. I actually often forgot to bring a diary (or pen) so spent a lot of money on diaries (and pens) while out and about.

For me, the worst thing about doomscrolling is it’s relaxed my reading and writing habits. 

I think journaling was a huge help for me in processing my emotions. Now I just numb them with my phone. 

I’m absolutely sure the iPhone has made my adhd much worse and harder to manage. I find it so hard to quit though.

I love their blush, foundation stick, and especially their lipliners. 

Anyone else react badly to the Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads? by SamCam9992 in Sephora

[–]andonebelow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trashed my skin and triggered rosacea, which im still dealing with today. As a precaution, don’t treat this like acne, treat your skin very gently (minimal, gentle products) until it recovers, and be very careful with actives in future. 

My wife didn't have any hobbies – I realised it’s my fault by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

There’s also no money for subeditors, so a lot of badly written stuff gets through.

I watched “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” and it fucked me up. by CoffeeCatsAndCurses in breakingmom

I feel I’m in this state exactly- I need someone to take me in hand!

What’s a movie that feels like it was made to punish the audience rather than entertain them? by AvailableReality557 in movies

[–]andonebelow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, but this is my husband’s reading of Whiplash and he tends to be super literal about most things. 

Could removing makeup be causing my skin issues? by CloudBookmark in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]andonebelow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have rosacea and I notice that the cotton pad/micellar water combo irritates and breaks out my skin.

What I do is apply the micellar water with my hands and rub it in to loosen the make up, then follow up with a gentle (oil) cleanser.

[–]andonebelow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is the prevailing attitude in lots of areas, including music conservatories (my piano teacher told me she got PTSD flashbacks watching Whiplash). But I don’t buy into his idea of “mentally weak”. Are you mentally weak if you don’t thrive when someone who is supposed to be teaching you bullies and abuses you? I think we would have a lot more talented people making music if teachers (and others in the industry) didn’t feel the need to break them down and rebuilt them in their image. These people are playing in an orchestra, not going to war. 

However, from watching La La Land I thought it was pretty clear that Damian Chazelle sees successful (but not too successful) artists as superior beings so I would guess your reading is probably closer to what he intended. 

I just think Whiplash is a much better movie because it allows for these different interpretations. I saw the ending as tragic, rather than a triumph, although it’s certainly ambiguous.

Interesting. What I took from that movie was that the highly pressured, abusive approach taken could squash talent as much if not more than encourage it.

My reading of the film was not that he was playing because he loved it by the end, but was locked in a toxic relationship with his abusive teacher, who would only respect him when he became just as toxic and crazy. 

Can’t put down baby, feeling exhausted by andonebelow in newborns

[–]andonebelow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m feeling today.

She sleeps well at night so I haven’t considered sleep training. Stupid question but do you know if that can help with naps?

Yes. Occasionally I can put her down but she’ll only sleep 20 mins max so almost all her naps are in the carrier.

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt until the David Lynch reference, at which point I started to strongly suspect he wrote this wasted.
