My job required me to be available 24x7, though it almost never was necessary. On vacations I checked voicemail, but put on autoresponder on email where the bulk of my work came from. You needed work done, he didn't respond, you found somebody else. I think it's a bit of a shrug of the shoulders. He might have forgotten to update his voicemail. Perhaps almost no one calls him anymore so he didn't think to. Maybe he just didn't bother to care. Who cares? He's an agent you worked with, nothing more.

Motorcycles are so dangerous. One of the few things my father, a physician who worked at times in the emergency room, asked of me was to never ride a motorcycle. He saw too many young men die on them.

I suspect she was innocent, since it almost always men who commit those kinds of murders. Doesn't take a genius to figure out from what soil those gangs arose.

How idiotic. How is the US responsible for a cease fire in Gaza? Are we supposed to invade Gaza? Overthrow the Israeli Government and install our own? We're hardly saints, but if we did this with some other sovereign nation, the OP would be screaming about that too. Russian trolls. They're everywhere.

Yeah, those Warsaw ghettos are nice old buildings. Once we move the people out, we can clean them up and 'nice' people can move in.....

This will not end well for them.

Hot?

Some venues will also help you plan. They have caterers and florists they work with. We held ours at a french restaurant and had a 13 course meal with a harpist. Low-key, fabulous and with an intimate group of friends and family. I might start with where you want to hold it, then decide what help you need. If you're not planning on blowing a HUGE amount on a wedding, $6K is insane. Some people do spend $100K and for them such a wedding planner might make sense. I can't see it if you're spending a lot less. My guess is you're not planning on a $100K wedding if you're asking this question...

I work with a personal trainer who pulls no punches 3 times a week. I hate it, but it has done wonders because he makes me do shit I would never, ever do on my own.

I think he's mildly funny, but if I'm not seeing them in an intimate venue, why not just watch them on Youtube or Tiktok? Same stuff for free. He is hot, but you can get hot a lot cheaper than buying a stadium ticket.

While I am sure all of us can understand the frustration, I think this post is unnecessary. If all of your tip money was returned, then it seems quite likely that he will face severe repercussions at work. Also, it may be that if you're paying it all to the house, that they are keeping such a large portion of the guy's income that he feels he needs to play such games in the hopes of salvaging something. Hard to know, but whatever the case, "Jack" is likely to feel the full weight of the event.

The question is what kind of friend. I think many westerners think friendship is by definition two equals. My experience is that in many other parts of the world this isn't true. These relationships come with expectations that the richer/older/wiser is the patron/mentor. Note the richer part. That doesn't mean the relationship is purely mercenary (though it could be), but it does often mean that the richer one is supposed to 'help' the younger one. So, I think it isn't always either/or. Sometimes its both. Proceed with whatever caution you deem warranted and assess it in the light that both want something from the relationship and it may not be the same thing even if both are fond of each other.

Pretty sure if we dug up catholic relics and displayed them in museums with signage about the catholic burial customs there would be a lot of pissed off people. If Catholic skulls were gifted to a museum in the 60's that were used to study "characteristics of catholics", I'm pretty sure we would be appalled. They were digging up native burials into the 1900s. This isn't ancient history.

I think it's a bit perverse that the piece of colonialism that many Africans held onto was homophobia. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/mar/08/african-homosexuality-colonial-import-myth

Context helps. US museums held in the 1990s more than 200,000 native human remains. As of the 2022, only about half had been returned to their people. Human remains were still being given to museums in the 60s. Those looted graves also included funerary objects which were taken. I would personally be pretty appalled if my ancestors were being dug up and stuck in museum basements gathering dust because somebody thought their interest in how they were buried trumped any decent respect for the dead. US museums are stuffed with looted artifacts. I think it is long past time to hold them responsible for their collections. The law may have unintended consequences, but the problem it is very real and very current. I suggest anybody who is curious spend a few minutes with google to educate themselves.

Yes, those Japanese women making impossible demands of men like being treated like equal human beings whose sole purpose isn't to fluff the male ego. What Japanese man could manage that? It has been a few decades since I lived there, but I can't imagine the rampant misogyny has changed that much. Compare Korea's 4b movement and its similar origins. The Korean government has spent billions trying to improve its birthrate with no success. I guess the male legislators can't understand that no matter how much glitter they sprinkle on the cage, women don't want to go back in.

Felony Murder is a common way for criminals to get murder convictions. If you kill someone while committing a felony, the charge is often higher even if you didn't mean to kill anyone. The law for this differs by state. I'd guess it had something to do with illegal street racing which caused the deaths and led to a higher charge.

I get the nervousness, but it isn't that scary. The only real "danger" is you'll get charged more than average if they sense you're naïve. Hopefully some locals will offer up more current details. Have fun. I love the city.

Nearly Darwin award worthy.

Kids keep dying subway surfing. I'm all for good fun, but the fun ends at death. I guess I never was the type that got a thrill from doing shit like that. If I wanted to live large, I'd do this... https://www.xnxx.com/video-166qqfaf/big_dick_beefcake_assfucks_his_client_in_a_public_gym

But not very bright. What an embarrassing obit that would be.

Indeed. Both Iran and North Korea have locked up innocent tourists. If they think they might need currency for an exchange, you might become it. I wouldn't go to either of these countries.

As a public service announcement, I remind fellow forum users that you may from your profile ignore users. No point in engaging with morons on the internet. EmmetK is such a one, and he won't respond to reason. He apparently is turned on by rotting pumpkin face. Best ignored. I have, you can too.

I'm pretty sure she doesn't use any bathroom given how much shit comes out of her mouth.

I can well imagine how much Tucker wants to be fisted by Putin.
