I don't remember which, but on one of my flights, we were distributed eye masks with different colors on each side. If you were wearing the red color on the outside, it meant that you wanted to be left alone. Smart and yey, free eye mask!

The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.

President says that the ambassador is "taken hostage, literally".
Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
Military says " OK, but he can't leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".

Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.

The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is "force fed" military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.

The smell of the homeless crazy person that had the habit of shitting themselves and wearing the same green winter coat even during summer. They would wander off the street every evening and you could smell their presence 30 meters away.
I remember going home every time with the smell stuck on my nostril for half an hour before I could smell anything else.
The smell was nothing I ever experienced in my whole life. I would say it was closer to cadaverine.
Its been 15 years but I can still vividly remember it.
Haunting.

Sorry to hear that. But the whole thing is hilarious

Without going into too much details, I'd say that I am in a situation reeaaaaaaaaaally close to yours. You may feel invisible, but I see you. Thank you for sharing.

I'd play the hell out of this videogame.

It is focused on the struggle of being a man in this patriarchal society, while keeping a healthy mindset and constructive conversations.

OP admitted that having this discussion changed their mind, which is quite mature in all fairness. Shouldn't we encourage this openness? And why are you so bitter?

In Muay Thai, when your opponent tries to throw a knee, they hold the back of your neck and pull you.
A knee to the stomach or plexus is really powerful, so you have to act fast.
The best defense in those cases is to hold the back of their neck in return, pull them closer so that they cannot strike, and try to throw a knee first.
It ends up with a play of the two opponents holding each other and trying to throw a knee while closing the distance.
And most likely ends up in the dead lock or "hugging" that we see in match.

I'm sure there are other techniques that involve this holding in MMA. Forbidding it would remove those techniques from the game.

Depending on your timezone, it is possibly a peak in traffic from the US, an overlap of July 4th, Reddit userbase jumping in, and the recent surge on shitposting about...sigh... beans.

I don't know where you should look, but clapping rapidly while they are pouring your drink, while shouting "Encore, encore!", should dissipate the awkwardness.

J'étais dans une boutique LDLC au fin fond de la Bretagne il y a quelques mois, et le technicien qui ma conseillé pour les pièces d'un build PC était une femme cinquantenaire. Ce n'est clairement pas tous les jours que ca m'arrive. Cette entreprise continue de me surprendre agréablement :)

I miss my hydrohommies
As for the good news : https://sopuli.xyz/c/hiphopheads

I've been genuine and visited your community.
We agree to disagree. Let's leave it at that.
You can now go back to your gentleman's club.

This meme, again?!
I do not understand the argument. Are you implying that being communist automatically pins you in the pro CCP?
My country is socialist. My family is socialist. All my friends are socialists. I love socialism.
By following the same logic, does that mean that I am considered a Nazis lover?

They would stop replying to any message, be overall unreachable, ghosting me when we planned a getaway at that date.
I assumed they needed space. I'm fine with respecting boundaries, even if it stings nonetheless when you miss them.

But stopping literally existing out of the blue?
How much time do you need? Days, weeks? Should I wait for you to contact me? Should we cancel this weekend?
No way to get an answer. No, nothing.
Just toss a coin and try to find out.

This is exactly what you said. Workout and cold showers.
Even if a cold shower is once a day, it is enough. Willpower is like a muscle, you don't have to exert it constantly, but regularly.
As for working out, you don't have to like it, to make it. This is the hard pill to swallow, but struggling is part of it, at least in the beginning.
What I find helpful personally, is to watch a coaching video. You follow the moves of the vlogger at the same pace, and only pause when you can absolutely not take it anymore. I end up cursing at the video and hating my life on the spot.

I recon that it helped me have more control on myself (like pain tolerance). But as for the ADHD you describe, I am not sure I saw any improvement personally.

All I see in your link is a very strong opinion posted on Mastodon social, but there is zero source of what the user claims. The only link posted is an article from Amnesty international.
They talk about messages with the devs but no citation, no screenshot.

Should I only believe their saying without any proof? This is wrong.
