Will jokes about people wearing camo being invisible ever stop being funny? I don’t think so.

@NianticHelp a remote raid kicked me out after starting and told me to get closer to the gym. It was in Australia while I’m in the UK. The remote pass was used, and wasted as I can’t rejoin the party. Please advise as to my options. Sick of this happening.

Scum who killed an innocent man whilst doing balloons are caught plotting their escape when the dying man's Apple Watch automatically rang 999

Assuming you're literate, it's a selfish way of communicating. It saves the sender a small amount of time where they can 'ummm' instead of formulating a point properly. Then the receiver has to sit through it all, spending multiples of the amount of time they'd spend to read it.

solo dates hacks every man should try, at least once every year

1. take yourself to the cinema alone. buy popcorn. pick a seat you actually want. laugh, cry if you need to. no one talking to you. just you and the movie.

2. go to a cafe on a weekday. order a drink and a small pastry. sir by the window and face your phone down for a bit. watch people going to work, students rushing, cars passing, birds singing, children playing, just life moving in that pace.

3. book a nice but affordable hotel in your city. pack a small overnight bag like you're traveling. order room service or buy food on the way. take a long cold shower, wear your robe, lie on the bed and do nothing if you want. journal, watch a movie, listen to a relaxing music, sleep in clean white sheets and covers with the ac on.

4. take yourself on a saturday breakfast. wake up early, shower, wear something cute. go somewhere that serves breakfast. sit there, and order something nice. enjoy your meal, take some selfies even if you not photogenic.

5. enjoy yourself man. come on, you deserve it. you need it.

The most exhausting, unspoken burden on men in modern dating is that they are expected to be the sole architects of the relationship. A man is expected to initiate the first text, plan the dates, fund the experiences, orchestrate the proposal, and constantly drive the romance forward. We have completely normalized a culture where a woman’s mere presence is considered her "effort." The absolute second a man gets tired of being the only engine keeping the relationship moving and asks for equal romantic effort, he is instantly accused of being "inconsistent" or "low effort." We demand 50/50 modern equality, but aggressively enforce traditional male burdens the exact moment romance is involved.

In 1991 35% of 16-24 year olds had a mortgage and bought their own home.
Today it’s 1%.

And absolutely nothing is being done to fix this.

The most terrifying realization a man has as he gets older is that his grace is entirely conditional. If a woman has a career setback, makes a bad financial move, or needs a year to "find herself," she is met with sisterhood, therapy, and endless emotional support. If a man asks for that exact same grace? He is an immediate liability. He is told to step up. His partner's friends will literally advise her to leave him because he's "holding her back." A man is only allowed to fail if he can quietly fix it before anyone notices. The moment his struggle becomes an inconvenience to the people he provides for, the respect vanishes. A lot of men are walking around with the crushing realization that they were never actually loved for who they are; they were just employed for what they provide

Starmer just told Trump: You can mock me all you want, but I'm not sending British kids to die for your losing war.

a friend of mine asked a woman out after talking with her for weeks. she smiled and said... no, i’m not really interested like that, sorry. ten years ago, he might have tried again, i mean the literal sending of flowers, planning something thoughtful or making bigger efforts, that used to be called romance.

instead he just nodded and said... no worries and he never asked again. months later she told a mutual friend she was surprised he gave up so quickly, but here’s the quiet shift most people haven’t noticed: a lot of men aren’t less interested anymore, they’re just more cautious.

for years men were told persistence was charming but today the same behavior can be interpreted as pressure or disrespect, so the new rule became simple: ask once, accept the answer and move on.

not because they stopped caring but because the safest place to invest effort is where the enthusiasm is already mutual.

Lot of hate for Brit ‘Dubai Lads’ today.

And it’s glorious.

Make sure you get in touch with HMRC when you get back here, guys.

if you moved to i.e. dubai to avoid paying tax, then why should taxpayers money be used to bring you back?

A sleep-deprived Land Rover driver crashes his car at a rail crossing in Selby, UK.

A train collides with the vehicle, and in the ensuing inferno 10 people are killed and 80 are injured.

The car’s driver, Gary Hart, lives.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!
