Hey everyone, I’d love for you all to join us this Saturday, December 9th, at 6 PM over at the Mama (located at 18 Preradović Street, NYC) to catch a screening of "Road to Guantanamo". It’s totally free to attend!
This event is put together by Group Chicago, part of Amnesty International USA, in honor of International Human Rights Day. Beyond just watching the movie, you'll have the chance to sign a petition calling for an end to torture and abuse within the "War on Terror"—basically, we're pushing to shut down Guantana.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to become a wrestling coach? Also, if you know of any good websites where I can find more info on the certification process, let me know. Thanks in advance! 🙂
I'm heading to the doctor soon... I've been spiraling lately trying to figure out what's actually going on, and the anxiety is just hitting me hard. Everything has been feeling increasingly irritated and painful over the last few days.

Look, I'm not even a huge fan of theirs, even though I was right there in the front row 🙂
But here’s my geeky breakdown, since nobody else is chiming in:
On stage, you had one massive amp, a stripped-back drum kit, an acoustic guitar, a Yamaha electric piano, a Nord Lead, and a laptop... honestly, I was looking around wondering where the guitar amp was. Then this beer guy shows up (didn't realize it was him) and starts running a fresh drum kit through a Boss digital delay. I thought to myself, "Man, you can't run drums through that, it won't even last an hour." The room fills up, the stage gets covered in fog, the five of them walk out, and the gig kicks off. The five of them play really nicely. They look like guys whose wildest night out involves a juice box. (So, slightly more intense than me 🙂). It's mostly laptop sampling. Great groove. Killer stuff. And two tracks like that—really lovely. A bit of grit on the SG (without any amps 😲), a little soul on the keys. Then the beer guy wanders in. He’s smoking and drinking god knows what. He’s just wandering around with that delay pedal in hand, tweaking it while he sings. It’s cool, sure, but it feels a bit too much like Coldplay vibes.
Most songs start out okay, but then they just dissolve into this messy, unstructured jazz.
That goes on until the final song and the first encore, which were absolute bangers 😈 🙂 killer riffs, killer grooves, killer drums 🙂
And the second encore was some acoustic thing, human beatboxing...
All in all, pretty good. A few standout grooves. And surprisingly, the drums held up. 👍
Radiohead is the better band, and Jamie Lidell is the better singer. 👍
Thanks for such a detailed report...🙂 I'm a huge fan of theirs, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it out to Chicago (money issues, as usual), so I was dying to know how it went! While I was in Chicago, I caught almost every Warp Records guest appearance (Herbert at the local club—that guy is basically God!)... So, overall, it was decent?? Hopefully, they'll tour back this way soon...
Ethan Perez28 said:If they hadn't played that final track and the opening song, I honestly would have asked for a refund.
Even though the guys are super chill 🙂 and aren't even roadies—they actually showed up on a bus 😍
So you're saying Cinematik didn't really bring the house down??! Tell me more about the vibe—how long was the set, how was the crowd, all that good stuff...😕 😲 🤔
Since nobody got back to me, I’m going to ask again... I have this patch of white skin right around my anus—maybe about half an inch away—and it tends to get red and a little itchy. I’ve been rubbing Nivea cream on it constantly, which helped clear up the redness, but that white patch is still there along with some lingering irritation. This has been going on for ages. I’m pretty young, and honestly, I’m too embarrassed to even bring it up with my parents! At this point, I know I probably need to see a doctor, but I have absolutely no clue where to go or how to handle it.
There was no opening act here in Miami, they just kicked things off at 8:15 PM and played for about two hours and forty-five minutes total. What an absolute disaster of a show!!! They’re straight-up mocking us!!!! I was actually a huge fan back in '94 when they played Pink Floyd. Go see for yourselves if you don't believe me!!!!!
On a different note, I picked up the double CD and DVD set, and honestly, I don't regret it one bit. According to $33, these recordings are from the first two shows at Lake Tahoe and Memphis. The CDs even have a few extra tracks. Definitely worth it.

When there's a misunderstanding or people just don't get me, I end up feeling pretty crappy. To cope, I tend to lash out and call them idiots or blame them for everything. Honestly, they might be right and I might just be seeing things wrong, but I hate feeling like a fool when I'm trying to have a conversation... anyway, those are just my own personal issues..
I get that, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that no matter what you post on here, you're bound to get trashed... so I was basically saying there's no point in even bothering with that kind of talk...😘
The Cinematic Orchestra (Live) is playing at Sub Pop tonight! 🙂 Sadly, I can't make it.😠 If anyone has the chance, you absolutely have to go... The Cinematic Orchestra is incredible live!!!
For me, the worst part is when I'm sitting at a coffee shop and I catch myself thinking, "Man, I wish I could just post that one meme from Reddit gold where the guy is rolling on the floor laughing." 😂 That’s the exact moment you realize you're officially hooked. 😲
I feel the exact same way...
My breaking point is usually when I'm out at a diner and the waiter accidentally spills hot coffee all over my lap, and my first instinct isn't to yell—it's to think, "If I were back on the forum right now, I'd be absolutely roasting this guy." Instead, I just sit there in silence like a loser, too stunned to say anything.
Has anyone actually tried these products before? I’m trying to figure out if this is just some high-end snake oil or if there's actual science backing it up. Is this stuff even safe to use?
hiddentrucker16 said:Sometimes I just look around and feel like everyone else is clueless while I'm the only sane one left. It happens most when I reach out to someone, looking for a little empathy, some support, or even just a kind word—not a lecture. I hate it when people try to play therapist or tell me my reactions are "too much" or that I'm "wrong" for feeling a certain way. Honestly, I’ve had my fill of people who refuse to see things from another perspective and just insist on shoving their own opinions down your throat. That’s usually when I lose my cool and think, "God, these people just don't get it." I can't stand being misunderstood, and I absolutely despise it when someone acts like they're always right when they haven't even listened to a single word I've said...
That’s not really what this forum is for... anyway, enjoy yourself..
...it feels like everyone walks around thinking they’ve got life all figured out, at least until reality hits them right in the face and proves them wrong... ...honestly, I used to be that person too, convinced that my perspective was the only right one and that I saw everything with perfect clarity... but as the years go by, I've finally realized that the only thing I truly know is that I actually know nothing at all😕 and you can never say "never"🙂 I know that every single new experience—no matter how much it sucks at the time—is going to make me a better person and give me fresh insight. I’m on a similar wavelength as wiredrider2, though I don't necessarily think everyone around me has lost their minds. Besides, what does it even mean to be "crazy" anyway?😕
... I don't really get it, but fair enough... "Love" is a noun, but does "loving" actually function as one in that sense? I mean, "to love" is a verb... and maybe "adoring" is just a more intense version of that.😕 To me, they all basically mean the same thing—it’s just about how you choose to put it into words. LOVE😘 is such an abstract concept that words can't even touch it. It's the most perfect feeling there is. There's definitely a massive difference between being infatuated and truly being in love, though. That much is true!
Hey everyone... I know this might be a bit off-topic for this thread, but I could really use some advice. The skin around my anal area has turned white, and I’ve been dealing with some stinging right after using the bathroom, followed by redness. It leaves me feeling pretty uncomfortable—just a sharp stinging sensation for about 5 to 10 minutes—before it settles down, though the redness sticks around. I’ve tried rubbing on various creams, which helped dull the redness a bit, but it's still clearly visible. Has anyone else dealt with this or found something that actually works?
