What is the best way to make more friends as an adult?

Do you have hobbies and interests? If so, hop on Google and search for MeetUps in your areas. When you find one, go to it and do that activity with other people. This is a practically fail proof plan because it sets you up to do something that you like doing with other people that also like that thing… which gives you a built in conversation topic.

While you’re there, talk to everyone for a few minutes. Next time there’s a meet up, go back. Don’t put pressure on any one person but, after you’ve been a few times, you’ll recognize and enjoy the company of other regulars and, voila, friends.

The anti-vaccine movement is on the rise. The White House is at a loss over what to do about it.

There’s a pragmatic solution here:

1). Make vaccines free. The government pays.

2). Require vaccines for participation in publicly funded social programs. Schools. Social Security. Etc.

3). Allow doctor authorized health waivers to number 2.

4). Wait.

Most people will get the free vaccines either because they’re reasonable people, because the vaccines are free, or because they want government services. Those that don’t will die earlier. Eventually even stupid people will notice or they’ll be dead.

Kadyrov, head of Chechnya, in critical condition

Recently, he has deteriorated significantly, looks very swollen, and often cannot open his eyes in videos. It is believed that Kadyrov has serious kidney problems, according to Ahmed Zakayev, the former deputy prime minister of Ichkeria, who is in exile.

Sounds like someone has been taking tea with Putin.
