I would appreciate it if a friend spent time with me or took me out for food and drinks. You could also get their favorite snack or a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or store.

I was thinking of this but we unfortunately live quite far apart. I hate to say this but I don't know their favourite snack or store. They're a friend from college so I know their go to places to eat but it's mostly student type food (all you can eat sushi, burritos, etc)

What are your proportions? Broad shoulders? hips? The general rule is to balance out your proportions so add volume where things are narrower and keep things straight when things are broader/bigger

“How will [their family] continue on without the two men they rely on?” DiPietro said in court.

estranged son*

The police chief issued a statement Saturday confirming his son was the suspect in the shooting. Drake said they were estranged and over many years he has had only minimal contact with his son. The younger Drake is a convicted felon who “resorted to years of criminal activity,” he said.

what timing....

the text makes it seem like people were shot over soccer but that's not the case at all

Video footage posted on the Het Laatste Nieuws newspaper website showed a man in an orange jacket on a scooter at a street intersection with a rifle first firing two shots, then three more, then running into a building, firing two more shots, leaving, taking a few steps back again and shooting one more time. One Belgium newspaper said a witness said the shooter shouted "Allahu Akbar" before the shots were fired.

In the video message recorded by the self-declared perpetrator, he said: "Islamic greeting Allahu Akbar. My name is Abdesalem Al Guilani and I am a fighter for Allah. I am from the Islamic State. We love who loves us and we hate who hates us. We live for our religion and we die for our religion. Alhamdulah. Your brother took revenge in the name of Muslims. I have killed 3 Swedes so far Al hamdoulelah. 3 Swedish, yes. Those to whom I have done something wrong, may they forgive me. And I forgive everyone. Salam Aleykoum."

north americans aren't "allowed" to criticise israel because that criticism gets confused for being anti-semitic and people risk losing their jobs and israel is meant to be a US ally, it's really awful that people can't call out another country's shitty behaviour. People should be able to criticise the Israeli govt, the CCP, the saudi government's treatment of people terrible without fear of repercussion

Real question: why is the us so involved with israel?

they're meant to be a main ally in the middle east for the US

most of the other countries are either allied with Russia/China/Iran/etc or too unstable

there's also massive israel lobbying in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby_in_the_United_States

When I went there it wasn’t insanely hot, but still pretty hot. I was wearing a dress with not too much cleavage and a large cardigan on top that came undone at the chest. A few old men stared and one even stopped to say something to me with a very weird tone while staring at my chest, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

wow that's really frustrating, i'm sorry that happened to you

I am a Millennial woman. For most of my life, my closest friends have been men. I believe this is because many of my hobbies are considered traditionally male (such as contact sports or history). I also studied in STEM and have prioritized my career over finding a partner whereas most of the women in my area tend to stay in the city for most of their life (go to school, work, marry, have kids, etc.). So, I fully acknowledge that a large part of my problem is my own fault.

I've found that even if I reach out to female friends, they don't respond back or reach out to me so whatever relationship there is fizzles out.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Are there topics which women commonly discuss which I could learn about so I can contribute more to conversations?

Personally my hypothesis is that the women I meet are close with the friends in their area so they don't need to maintain friendships with women they aren't close with (literally or figuratively) whereas my male friends have largely moved for work and perhaps since we're all lonely, we make more of an effort to stay in touch even though we're in different parts of the world. The solution I can think of is to stop moving around so often and stay in one place.

I really do crave friendships with women and would love someone to do Pilates with, discuss fashion or go shopping, go for brunch with, or any other activity which I do with my male friends (sports, museums, etc.). I just can't seem to get a message back.

Thanks in advance for any tips/advice.

This show is recommended and was very popular with 20- and 30-year olds who felt the show resonated strongly with their experiences working in corporate jobs.

Misaeng: Incomplete Life was the first Korean drama to film on location in Jordan, where actors Im Si-wan and Lee Sung-min shot the series's prologue in Amman, Petra, and Wadi Rum
