my sister's fiancé comes from a wealthy family and insisted on a prenup before their wedding next month. he sat her down with his lawyer and basically presented a document that said if they divorce, she gets absolutely nothing.. even if she quits her job to raise their future kids.
he told her it was just "protecting his family legacy."
she didn't argue.
she just handed the paper back and said, "okay, but we need to add a clause that says if you cheat, you owe me $500k for career damages."
y'all.
this man completely lost his mind. he started screaming that she was "money-hungry," that she didn't trust him, and that marriage shouldn't be a business transaction.
funny how men are completely logical and pragmatic when they're trying to strip a woman of her future financial security, but the second you ask them to put a price tag on their own loyalty, it becomes an emotional tragedy.
he didn't want to protect his legacy, he just wanted a free pass to behave badly without any consequences.
Unlike the much exaggerated Sati, the Chinese Xunjie or Widow Suicide system killed lakhs of women.
Widows were forced to starve themselves to death or poisoned so they didn't have sex after the husband's death. The Chinese society built thousands of arches (called Paifamg) to glorify the practice.
But literally nobody even knows about it today because information & media are frauds. Hence we must share it.
> china banned shang-chi movie
> Because they add high caste name (chi ) with shang community
> Actor belongs to shang community , so ccp banned the movie
It really was a surprised to see Americans act this way.
You see this behavior from people in developing countries a lot. Validation from foreigners, especially first world ones, counts for a lot.
One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it.
Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts.
South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc.
Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects.
Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.”
Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it.
The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.
The Netherlands actually demanded Indonesia to pay over 6 billion Dutch guilders (debt incurred by the Dutch East Indies govt) as the price for Indonesia's independence. The two sides eventually agreed on 4.3b guilders (US$15.9b today). Indonesia only finished paying it in 2003
Was watching Ind vs Pak women’s match today and I noticed the scorecard, we’re on first name basis with women cricketers and last name basis with men
it’s a small thing. it’s also not a small thing at all
