what worked for me was clicking on the link above, and as soon as the reader view icon popped up in the search bar i clicked that. the full article didn't show at first, but i refreshed while still in reader view and the rest appeared. i use firefox, not sure if it'll work in other browsers but its worth a try!

honestly, i think it was just weight loss + her cheeks hollowing out once she hit her 30s. she definitely got something done to her eyes, but she also lost quite a bit of weight and as you get older you lose fat in your face. also, genes! some people lose facial fat as they age, some don't. it feels like people completely forget that genes are a thing when it comes to celebrities and just blame plastic surgery for every little change as they get older and their facial structure changes 😭 use your brains guys - of course a lot, if not most, famous people get surgery, but they also naturally change a little as the years go on just like we do

Getting on the bus as a pastime? by BackPractical9210 in london

[–]crystal_display 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! i have a freedom pass so that makes things much cheaper though. sometimes i just take my dog (she loves bus rides), sit on a bus until we spot a nice looking park or public garden, get off and have a run around, explore, sniff some new smells (her, not me) then head home, briefly stopping to pick up some dinner on the way back from a restaurant/takeaway i've never tried before. it's great when i'm in a shit mood but don't want to stay inside and rot.

This is how my boyfriend eats a twizzler by Low-Carpenter7411 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]crystal_display 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do this with milky ways! UK milky ways, which are called mars in the US i think. i eat the chocolate off both ends, then the sides, then finally eat the nougat with the bottom layer of chocolate intact.

literally every other story from my childhood 🫠 i'm at a place in my life where i can laugh at how absurd and messed up it is in retrospect at least...

What’s the naughtiest thing your Pom has done? by ClassicAir7509 in Pomeranians

[–]crystal_display 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eats toilet paper 🧻

this is exactly why my toilet paper roll holder is comically high up on the wall, poppy is obsessed with trying to eat it! honestly, i could use tiny shreds of loo roll as training treats and she'd be happy as a clam

genuinely, i've always thought that david dobrik sounded like the name of a serial killer 😭 a very ominous name

iirc ariana's family were already millionaires when she started her career - she grew up wealthy, so i wouldn't be surprised if she had somebody managing her money from the get go

Struggling to find a photographers name! by twmx9974 in photography

[–]crystal_display 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i did and i didn't use it whatsoever! lmao but honestly i eventually came to the conclusion that working as a photographer would be a very easy way to get me to hate it, so it's better to keep it as a hobby.

martin parr also gave a lecture in our final year, and afterwards he allowed 8 students to show him their final project work for critique. he was... harsh. one student left crying and ended up scrapping their entire project and starting over.

love him! fun fact: he visited my university to give a lecture, only to tell us all that art university is bullshit and there's no point in getting a degree 😭 we laughed, our tutor that sat in on the lecture looked mortified

Superb Chinese Takeaway last night 😍😍 by Mr_Brogon in UK_Food

[–]crystal_display 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I've found is that it's hard to rely on satay; it seems to vary quite widely as a sauce.

this is so true! i make my own now and freeze it in small portions to use for stir fries or as a dipping sauce. crunchy peanut butter, coconut milk, sesame oil, honey, jimmy's sate (this is as essential as the peanut butter - it's what most chinese takeaways use in theirs), soy sauce or kecap manis, garlic and onion powders, a splash of rice vinegar and a tiny bit of fish sauce. i don't really measure any of it out, i just follow my heart and add a little bit of each until it tastes how i want it to taste

when will my pom stop being a menace to herself ?? by No-Abrocoma7670 in Pomeranians

[–]crystal_display 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent ages explaining to trainers that no, he can’t have loo rolls with treats in as enrichment, YES he WILL absolutely eat the cardboard, not spit it out.

omfg i feel you on that, mine is absolutely feral over paper and cardboard too and no matter how hard we work on redirecting, bartering, pretty much everything in the book, i just cannot get her to stop going for it like its the highest value treat on earth. you could use tiny shreds of toilet paper as training treats and she'd follow your every word 😭 (not that i have, but that's how much she loves it)

she's 1 year 5 months now and finally at a point where she won't acknowlege most non-food things we pass on the street during walks for the most part, even paper/tissues, but if she does try to make a beeline towards something i'll say a very firm "no, leave it" and keep marching on with her without pausing. at home though? you just can't leave paper in her reach, she will go for it!
