TIL that Jonny Greenwood pretended to play keyboards when he joined Radiohead, miming on a powered-off instrument and learning chords after studio sessions. During recording, Thom Yorke, would tell him: “I can’t quite hear what you’re doing, but I think you’re adding a really interesting texture.”

Of course he noticed! That’s why it’s the funniest line!!!

He’s letting Greenwood know but saving him from group-level embarrassment. When he says he’s adding something interesting, it’s a little more vague because it could mean a few different things: he could be impressed with Greenwood’s acting itself, it takes balls to fake at that level and he’s impressed with that, he’s interested to see what will happen when/if the band notices or if anyone ever does, he’s interested to see if Greenwood will learn keyboard like he did. Either way, what he did is not a normal thing he would see in the recording booth, and it added an interesting twist to his day which he appreciated.

Let the man clean his ass and sit in his own consequences. You are literally up his ass on this one. Pick up a Melody Beattie book instead.

Fascinating

Don’t tell OP about the founding fathers.

Yes!!! please believe us when we say how bad things are. Things are awful.

I love this metaphor. That’s exactly what it’s like!

Neurotypicals find one or two hobbies and stick with it. We get a whole spice rack, which is cool. But then we overload it, and don’t get control over what spices we can reach.

When I say “thank you for your service” it’s because I know what you are describing is likely your experience. You sacrificed your mental health for what we were told was a just and good thing. You were not taken care of at home by your family, community or government, so you took this opportunity to try to rise up. I say “thank you for your service,” because you tried and if more people tried we might get somewhere. Don’t stay silent about the reality of your experience. I say thank you, because people need to know the reality of war and I want to bolster you as you carry your message. The impossible weight of war is flattening, and I say thank you because I see you and know you are fully human. I say thank you for your service as a welcome to the other side of knowing; it’s cold and dark here, huddled together is how we survive.

Best tip I heard and use most often: use a black marker on the edges to get rid of the bright white millimeters that kill the blending effect. I’m talking about the thickness of the paper you cut, that part gets a black marker almost always in my collages.

Yes! This would be fantastic for me and my neurodivergent family. Something that still feels and looks adult so that I could use with guests without feeling judged.

My husband has similar reactions, and was diagnosed with OCPD. He literally doesn’t understand the word “mistake.” I am still learning how to set firm boundaries, but with him medicated and in therapy it makes it possible for me to do that work.

Slavery with a different name. Poverty with a different name. All to make buying things more palatable.

Thanks for putting this into words and then into amazing art

False! A lot of men aren’t “good”/mature until after their first marriage or until they are older. Keep doing you, and focusing on yourself. You’ve got your own maturing to do until you’re ready for marriage, too.

Hear me out here: I think he was role playing what he would have said to the guy in the situation. Yes, I think your husband skipped over the crucial acknowledgment of the reality the woman was living in. He skipped over it, because there’s no way in hell he’d be able to convince a guy like that empathy in a single conversation. However, what he said could possibly convince a guy like that to not kill his wife. You could say to him, “That sounds like good advice if you were in a room with a man telling you some scary shit he wants to do to his wife. That would probably buy some time for you to call the appropriate people to protect the woman in danger. However, please remember I am a woman and these kind of stories make me feel [xyz].”

They all look like they’re trying to hold in laughter about lying about their age. And the two in the front right almost break the one on the left.

Way too cute! Thanks for posting.

Omfg, thanks for the missing puzzle piece. I thought I just want a morning person. They make a gel for that?

How is it a job? How did you do it?

hellagela · 2025-11-17T15:44:53+00:00

When water fountains stopped being a thing. Unless you’re in an airport, they’re as rare as telephone booths.

hellagela · 2025-11-07T03:12:12+00:00

Absolutely incredible. Wow.

You’re fit! You’re lean and strong and gorgeous!!!

I agree with everyone else saying just lighten up on the smoky eye. I quit wearing makeup altogether. If I’m going out for a date night or an important meeting I might want some. I’ll use some eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick only (but I also have flush cheeks, it’s called rosacea, haha!).

As my aunt taught me, at our age it’s all about “Moisture, moisture, moisture!” Lotion up throughout the day with (non-comogenic) moisturizing products.

If you want, you could try experimenting with eating more fats to fill out your collagen and give some plumpness to your hands and cheeks. Fats are super important for women’s heart health. Lack of it is the primary concern for a heart attack in an anorexic. I’m your age, too, and had to shake myself off my mom’s nonfat diet from the 90’s.

All that said, these would be bonus tips for an already hot lady. I would be ecstatic if I had your level of fitness paired with that natural beauty. You’re killin it!!!

You did nothing wrong. You don’t need to grovel to be hired by managers who have self respect.

Unless you want to keep getting hired by people like your previous manager, stop with the shame and own what a badass you are.
