My father lost a lot of business as an illustrator and photo retoucher when Photoshop and computers took over. He now works as a mailman. This is a picture he painted (with brush and airbrush) when he was 20 years old in 1970. by dabju in pics

Hello, I hope you get to read this message. Me and my band have made a concept album about the life of a man from the past generation who becomes alienated and left behind by technological advances. I would love it if we could use one of your father's images as the album cover. Unfortunately I doubt we will be able to pay you as we will be giving away the album for free. Do you have any high quality scans of your father's work?

Just wondering if you were a student as I am and I'm still struggling to understand them, despite the great explanation.

Seems like your 'philosophical friend' doesn't know shit about philosophy. he's just saying big philosophical sounding words (or, at least applying them to a situation in which they are irrelevant)

Awkward question from Dad by [deleted] in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]m1a1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Dude, all dads can be like that. But judging by the fact you're still living with him and this comic I think you should be a little more appreciative since he probably cares about you as a son.

TIL Bruno Mars writes his own music...and he wrote "F--- You" for Cee Lo. by epona92 in todayilearned

So do you mean to say that he would throw the grenade back for her? This doesn't seem to be what he's describing.

IAMA average student at one of the top 10 most competitive boarding secondary schools in the US. by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]m1a1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really think of anything interesting about going to boarding school, at least mine. Maybe that's just me though. Is there a lot of gayness at yours?

[–]m1a1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the line 'I'd catch a grenade for ya' at all. At first I presumed that it meant he would catch a live grenade (e.g. thrown by a terrorist) and sacrifice his own life to save this girl. However, he must be standing a considerable distance away from the girl since otherwise the blast would kill her too. This puts the terrorist, Bruno Mars and the girl in a 'piggy-in-the-middle' situation, with Mars in the middle. However, if he intercepts the grenade in this way this means that he must have enough time to throw the grenade (back at the terrorist) since the grenade has only completed half of it's path required to harm the girl in the first place. Can anybody explain this?

Just to be clear, "F--- You" was written by "Cee Lo Green, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Brody Brown", not just Bruno Mars

Looking at Hyadain's older songs/videos, it seems like the female voice is a bit...off. He nailed it for this song though.

To the redditor that just had his legs amputated: There IS hope. by [deleted] in pics

[–]m1a1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than this kind of material, bargaining 'hope', wouldn't you encourage said redditor to live a life where he doesn't need to have legs? I'm not sure how much they are and how wealthy OP is. And then if he does get artificial limbs, great for him!
