I think it's the hair style. You know how they say a lot of what makes 30-year-olds from the 80s look so much older to us than 30-year-olds now is because we associate the styling with older people? This guy looks like he was 22 circa 1950, but it's a recent photograph instead of something old-timey. It's causing some sort of new "uncanny valley" effect.
To give a serious response, though it's not "cheap" cheap, there are programs aimed at young people like Working Holiday visas (the exact name will vary) where you can live and work in a country for a set period of time. That's how my husband and I met: he did the Canadian version, we worked together, and then I did the UK version when his was over and lived in the UK for a bit. Required some saving and planning up front, but a great experience.
I figure I'd probably treat it a lot like when my dogs, one of whom is a husky, get outside time. 5 seems old enough that I don't need to be actively doing the bathing, but I'm going to fold laundry or something nearby so I can check in regularly and make sure nothing that's not supposed to be happening is happening.
Hell, I have no kids, I almost never interact with any kids, and I'm not looking for either of those things to change.But I'm still not leaving a fucking 5-year-old alone for an extended period of time in a body of water they can drown in. What if they were doing something dumb, slipped, and hit their head?When I was 5, I put on my Batman cape, put up a ladder from our deck, climbed on the roof, and was about to jump off before my Mom saw me because I was convinced I'd glide just fine.
I thought that about my boy. Then I got up and went to the bathroom, and came back out to see that the little that was left in my bowl was gone, and the bowl was licked clean.On a related note, did you know that popcorn, and its seasonings, can go through a dog so quickly that they can have All Dressed-scented farts? THAT was sure an odd and moderately off-putting discovery.
I kinda assumed he wasn't looking too closely at her feet and just assumed they were boots until it was too late, and that's why he ran over looking apologetic, but I could be wrong. Definitely a lesson to be more careful, though.
You should meet my husky. Anyone other than me gets somewhere between a sigh and a honk of annoyance. My husband may or may not take it personally that I'm the only one who gets kisses.
2/2 anything actually illegal, and no accusations from any of the victims.That all said, the fact there isn't evidence at this point doesn't mean evidence doesn't exist, or that he didn't participated/know about it and was just better at covering the tracks. I do find it hard to believe there wasn't at least some inkling about the shady stuff Epstein was up to. But as things stand right now, the usable evidence says he didn't do anything wrong besides associate with Epstein and Maxwell.
1/2 Unless something new has come out, Bill is mostly mentioned in regards to associations between him and Epstein relating to the Clinton foundation (which is a fairly common theme among Epstein and various notables, he was basically King Socialite). The most damning thing has been a comment by Epstein on how Bill "likes them young", though that's not elaborated on, so that could mean "Monica Lewinsky" young, or "illegal" young, but at least so far, no evidence of knowledge or participation in
You might recognize her from a clip that went a little viral a while back, with a couple of them, where Jeanine Pirro is saying something negative about covid vaccinations, and Jessica chimes in with something like, "What are you talking about? You're vaccinated, you're fine." and Jeanine just kinda scoffs and makes a face, since there's not much she can say to that.
They have a sort of panel... thing that they do (I don't really know how it works, I don't watch), and Jessica Tarlov is basically there so they have a "Liberal" on the panel to go with the pageantry that they're fair news coverage.She is genuinely a on that side of the political spectrum, and from clips I've seen, will often get in pretty intense/tense arguments with the others and their narratives. I think she's a moderate-to-progressive Democrat, so interpret that how you will.
A high school kid in Illinois was recording himself shouting his supporting ICE (dunno if it's genuine, just teenage edge lord behavior, or a mix of both), and our boy stops and says, "I'm going to punch you in the face now." Asshole responds, "Well, you're going to get in trouble for that," and our boy just says, "Okay." as he's winding up and takes a swing. Security saves Asshole before too much can be done, but there's still the lovely, "Peacefully go fuck yourself!" line to close things out.
It kinda depends. It's kind of like dark/offensives humour, in that you can get a good reaction from it, but only if you do it really well, which a lot of people don't.
You goddamn BETTER sexualize me (respectfully, from a distance, because I'm married). I'm not putting all this effort into losing weight and exercising NOT to be looked at. Why else would I do it? For my health? So I can live longer in -gestures broadly- THIS? No.
I saw the post on Reddit via I think r/BestOfRedditUpdates or something, and just said, "Nope, not opening that one," because I thought it was real and I wouldn't be able to handle reading about it. I'm glad to find out it was a shitpost!
I kinda assume, without reading whichever studies these are, that the "better health" is because you tend to get healthier when you exercise properly, like you'd have to do to build large thigh muscles (without PEDs).Kinda like the whole "people who own horses tend to live longer" thing. They live longer, because horses are expensive, so if they can afford a horse, they likely also have the money to afford things like better healthcare, better food, better education, etc.
And Jensen Ackles plays Soldier Boy, with Jared and Misha set to appear in the upcoming final season! Jim Beavers is also in it, playing a character named Robert Singer again, haha.
I'm rewatching it now! Still have some dread knowing how it ends, but I've accepted the quality ups and downs and am just enjoying the ride now. Season 7 isn't so bad when you just go with it.
This is an out-take/post-credits scene from an episode of Supernatural, don't remember which, but in the first five seasons. The actor is just being silly to the song, and they decided to include it at the end once the episode proper had finished.
Speaking as a gay person, I'd have preferred Cas was just straight, or else was IN love with someone else, rather than yet another example of the broader "Kill Your Gays" tropes.
Well, spoilers ahead, if anyone still cares:They have Castiel (guy in the trench coat) admit he loves Dean, which he knows is not reciprocated because Dean is straight. The problem is, so much representation of LGBTQ+ characters involves tragedy, unrequited love, death, etc. And this is another example of it, and quite unnecessary when there's no reason Cas couldn't have loved him (and Sam) like a brother, something he lost among his own kind, and fitting with Sam and Dean's siblinghood.
I wasn't a big "fandom" person, I didn't do ships, and I was STILL pissed about how this one ended. Why even bother?
And ideally, RINSE, don't rub. If you have a mild soap, too, that'll help. Unfortunately, the washing will still activate it before it gets rid of it, so it has to get worse before it gets better. Also, wear layers, especially easily-removed ones, and don't wear anything like sunblock or makeup. The powder won't react to the oils like it does water, but they can hold it against your skin and then start reacting once you get sweaty or something.
Yeah, this is one of those things where if you're gonna try it, it had REALLY better be well done, because there's a long way to fall if you miss. I'm not sure what OP is on about with the stuff about people who don't think the joke was funny only thinking of the sadness of the victims and virtue signaling. I'm gay, and I love a good gay joke, but that's the thing: GOOD gay joke.This just wasn't very good.
Hell, worse than that. "Fire her, or we'll do to her the same thing we did to you, twice, which clearly worked well."
One of our friends does first-aid training. I felt so old when she told me that the younger people are so far removed from them, a lot aren't even familiar enough with "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Stayin' Alive" to use that rhythm for CPR (which were even before my time, but big enough I at least knew the chorus). So now she's started teaching them to do chest compressions to the beat of the chorus of "Pink Pony Club".
This certainly doesn't mean you need to extend them one iota of grace; fuck 'em all. Just don't let it be treated like this was something that just suddenly popped up out of the sewers with no warning.
I have to disagree, specifically because it's important to remember these people AREN'T some weird monstrous Other Thing, they're people in your community. They're people you know. You've walked past people capable of participating in all of this shit, and the slow simmer of bullshit that brought things to this point can happen again.The same reason it's important to remember the Nazis weren't actual monsters, they were regular people who did, supported, or allowed horrendous things.
For what it's worth, Vancouver Island, particularly the south where Victoria is, is MUCH warmer in the winter (by our standards, anyway). We're going to be moving there, my husband is there for work while I'm still in the interior, doing stuff around the house before we can sell it, and the rat bastard has been sending me pictures of him hiking in goddamn SHORTS while I'm scraping ice off my windshield.
Sangster also smokes. Which doesn't detract from the fact, yes, smoking ages you, but there's also other factors (likely genetic, on both fronts, alongside things like overall environmental exposure to different things).
