Social media tends to recycle topics almost every week and will beat almost any and every to death. What are some that you’re SICK of seeing? One of them is this: It always sounds like they’re more upset over the fact that they can’t have him than they are they he was groomed Not to mention there’s so misinformation being spread about when they met, and how they knew each other that I don’t even care anymore The man is 30 and there’s nothing keeping him from divorcing her if he didn’t really love her Also recycled tweets like these that stopped being funny a LONG time ago: Chillle don’t even let me get into the recycled topics that go around black twitter

I do. Also if someone tells me theyve slept with so and so ill remember years later and when i bring it up to them they cant remember lol. Its not like i force myself to remember these things my mind just works that way.

Where were you on this day 21 years ago? I was in elementary school and couldn’t understand why all the adults around me were crying and sitting around the TV while we all did nothing. I remember my mom called the school to talk to me and asked if I wanted to be picked up early, and I told her no because I was having fun with my friends. When I finally got home later that day, my mom had the news on. I had heard mention about a plane crash and whatnot earlier, but the teachers didn’t really let us see any of the coverage. I saw the rerun of a plane hitting the tower and said “woah, cool” and my mom turned around and slapped me. I was only a small child who didn’t comprehend the situation like excuse me.

I moved out of my parents' house a few months ago with my best friend. I love her as a roommate, but adulting, not going to lie, is hitting both of us pretty damn hard. For one, I thought I wanted to go into teaching. I even took another teaching job offer (long story short, but at my last school, they basically cleaned house and got rid of almost all of the 1st-years including myself; go figure). I took it just to see if it was the school itself I hated last year. Nope. I hate the teaching industry-- so much so I actually declined the new teaching job offer after my 2nd week of training because I was like... I am not putting myself through this again, especially if there are lower-stress jobs out there. Well, bills need to get paid, so I immediately went back to retail management. Currently doing that now and it barely pays the bills, however, I just got a job offer for a permanent sub position that pays more than retail, I'd have holidays/weekends off, and I wouldn't bring work home with me, which is pretty ideal. The issue is, I'm kind of doing the same thing all over again which is letting my employer know... hey, this job won't be my primary focus. I'm also juggling a new relationship. It's honestly great. But sometimes it's hard to make room for my partner when I'm having a work-identity-crisis and just adulting itself. Like having to cook/clean/shower/do domestic work nearly every damn day. He is very understanding and supportive. I guess I just feel like I'm not doing enough, but that's my personality in general. I almost always feel like I need to be doing more and what I'm doing isn't good enough. Dumb, I know. I just want to have a secure job/benefits (which I'm getting with this permanent sub position), and I just want things to fall into place and to stop over-worrying. Can anyone relate to feeling like life is kind of nuts, and while all the pieces are there, they're not fitting in a neat puzzle? Especially in their 20s?

There are more than 40 million slaves. Which is higher than the amount of slaves transported to the Americas and the Middle East during the colonial period. Many of the products we enjoy today were created by slave labor like chocolate. And the world will be watching the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in venues built by slaves. Why? Because slavery is profitable. Slave traders today make more money than slave traders from the 16th-18 centuries could even dream of. North Korea, Russia, Democratic Republic of Congo, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Philippines are the top 10 countries for slavery. Slavery is also legal in the United States as punishment. The majority of slaves are women and children.

After humiliating loses in Oblast Charkiw, Russia has started to retreat from that part of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Ukranian Army has also managed to get to the outskirts of the Oblast Donezk, Luhansk and is continuing to win back territory in the Kherson Oblast. Is this the end for Russia? Where are the pro Russia girlies of ATRL at? Discuss https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62860774

A woman beheaded by a man with a sword in front of her home on Bay Area street has been named by her family as Karina Castro. Castro, 27, was brutally killed in San Carlos, California, located about 24 miles south of San Francisco, just steps away from the home containing her two daughters, aged one and seven. Her father told NBC Bay Area that his daughter had a restraining order against her suspected killer. Castro’s family told ABC7 that the 33-year-old suspect is the father of her one-year-old daughter and told the news channel that he is a diagnosed schizophrenic. One neighbour, Chapel Thorborne, told ABC 7 the distressing scene he walked into when he arrived home to the Bay Area neighbourhood shortly after the attack on Thursday. “The head was underneath the car and she was laying in the back of the car- just severed,” he said. “And they covered her up.” Mr Thorborne, who said he’d had brief encounters with the couple before the deadly attack unfolded, described how he saw the suspect with some friends shortly after the decapitation had occurred. “After he cut her head off, he came walking up, him and his two friends,” Mr Thorborne said to ABC. “And they walked right by me and they arrested him.” Officers who first responded to the scene were reportedly in distress at the devastation laid out before them, Lt Allen said. He noted that peer services would be made available to those affected by the events. “Any time someone loses their life it’s certainly a tragedy. As far as the shocking nature of it, I do know that the deputies that first arrived on scene were a little beset by the scene,” he said, adding that those peer services that were being made available to the officers would also be offered to the witnesses, “because there were several civilian witnesses.” In the day before the murder, Snapchat messages between the couple got very contentious. The I-Team obtained more than a dozen, most with language too explicit to show. She threatens to tell the world about Solano's criminal record that includes a rape conviction involving a minor. He calls her "snitch lip" and warns her "F*** around and find out." Castro fires back, "U wanna put a target on my back, ur homies gunna kno the real u" and threatens to expose his sexual relationship with another man. She adds, "Dude, go head try and take my a** out." Just hours later, they had a confrontation in the street outside her apartment -- her daughters safely inside. https://abc7.com/woman-beheading-san-carlos-california-karina-castro/12217244/

I went to the gym the other night and felt horny so I decided to walk around in just my g string in the locker room, not rushing to put on clothes. I’m not sure what the ratio of gay to straight men is at this particular gym. Felt pretty hot, guys were def staring. But today I feel like a ****.

Inspired by the big lips thread I‘d like to know ATRL‘s opinion on whether blonde guys are attractive to you? My (female) friend says she would never date a blonde guy bc blonde (to her) is feminine. As a Bleach Blonde Baby myself I think this is wrong and I actually find blonde guys hotter than if they had basic dark hair in many cases. What’s y‘all thoughts on this debate?

ATRL, would you prefer this change?

Who do y’all think is a better song writer between THESE TWO? Please stay on topic

I get that the UK is trying to be progressive by allowing a man to be queen. But I think it’s taking things too far.

I seriously cannot talk with them anything outside of school/university related things. I had a meeting with one of my old High School friend he started rambling about increasing testosterone and other nonsense. I was like "kill me!".

With the death of Queen Elizabeth there is a lot of talk of whether the monarchy will be abolished after this. Do you think if that happens that their $30bil net worth (amassed through imperialism, slavery, wars, stealing $200mil in tax payer money each year) will be put back into the hands of the people?

DISCLAIMER: This thread is not meant to criticize or hate on individual’s natural facial features. I just genuinely want to know what you guys think of full lips on men; whether you prefer lips on the bigger or smaller side. Let’s discuss I’ll start first. I prefer thinner lips on men. Not paper cut thin kinda lips, but moderately thin. I think fuller lips look great on women but look rather feminine on guys.

Probably the only show right now that gets a bigger viewership week after week The TV show event of 2022 confirmed! The Emmys were smart to not go against this on Sunday and instead air on Monday night.
