"Men & women can't be friends," episode #4,038 Women think "there's no romantic interest" because THEY find utility in the relationship by simply having a man around. He spends time with her, he listens to her, he provides emotional support, they do things together, and she finds this gratifying on its own without any of the obligations of acting like a girlfriend or wife. The man, on the other hand, DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY and will interpret private time with a woman as her being interested in him whether she is or not. The complications between men and women that come with trying to be "just friends" are almost never worth it. Men, save yourselves the trouble, do not "be friends" with women. This will be the outcome. And yes, I did watch the video, it's all the usual retarded excuse-making. There is no other logical outcome to this. But, putting the video aside, there's no way for us to know what kind of things they did together or what would have given him the impression that they could be together. I'll give you a hint though: it's never, EVER nothing. The worst thing about this is that women expect men to simply not experience emotions and natural impulses. SHE didn't want anything more than friendship (platonic, utilitarian interaction) with him, so his feelings are categorically invalid. They act as though the man has committed some kind of transgression against them for not abiding by her vision for the "friendship." You can even find women treating this as downright villainous, claiming men think they are "owed" sex or romance, as if these natural feelings are somehow intentionally nefarious acts.

Riko Shibata: The Japanese Woman Who Married Nicolas Cage • Born in Kyoto, Japan. Her mother left when she was just 3 years old. • Her father couldn't raise her due to financial difficulties, so she spent about 10 years in a children's home. • Staff members attended her school events and graduation ceremonies as her guardians. • At 18, she left the home and worked part-time jobs while pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. • Hoping her mother would someday find her, she used her real name, Riko Shibata, in her acting career. • In 2019, she met Nicolas Cage on the set of Prisoners of the Ghostland in Japan. • Cage invited her to dinner through an interpreter. At the time, she reportedly knew only three English words: "Yes," "OK," and "No." • Their relationship moved quickly. After just a few dates, Cage told her he was looking for a serious relationship. Soon afterward, he invited her to live with him in America. • When she called her father to announce her marriage, he asked, "Who are you marrying?" She replied, "Nicolas Cage." • They married in Las Vegas in February 2021 and welcomed a daughter in September 2022. Her life story feels like something out of a Hollywood movie.

The Gen Z and Millennial generation are loaded with men who would be good fathers, and yet will never have children.

아홉번째 생존법. 아무리 집을 숨겨도, 어젯밤 버린 '참치 캔 하나'가 약탈자에게 당신 집 좌표를 정확히 찍어줍니다. 도시 고립 시 쓰레기가 은신처를 알려주는 5가지 치명적 함정. 많은 사람들이 위기를 대비해 침대 밑과 벽장에 라면, 통조림, 비상식량을 가득 채워둡니다. 하지만 보스니아 내전과 베네수엘라 붕괴 현장에서 침입자들은 집을 무작정 털지 않았습니다. 그들은 약탈 대상을 정하기 위해 먼저 '골목의 쓰레기통'을 뒤졌습니다. 도시 기능이 멈추고 3일이 지나면, 당신이 먹고 버린 흔적이 곧 당신의 사형 선고가 됩니다. 약탈자로부터 가족의 은신처를 지키는 쓰레기 보안(Waste OPSEC) 5대 철칙입니다. 1. 쓰레기봉투 안의 통조림 캔은 '약탈 초대장'입니다. 전기가 끊기고 마트가 털린 지 일주일이 지나면, 굶주린 사람들은 길거리 쓰레기봉투를 찢기 시작합니다. 그 안에서 스팸 캔, 즉석밥 용기, 단백질 바 껍질이 나오는 순간, 그 쓰레기가 나온 집은 그날 밤 약탈 1순위 표적이 됩니다. 통조림을 먹었다면 1) 라벨을 떼어내 불태우고 2) 캔 안쪽을 최소한의 물로 헹군 뒤 3) 망치로 완전히 납작하게 찌그러뜨려 집 안 가장 깊숙한 암흑 구역에 숨겨야 합니다. 외부 배출은 절대 금물입니다. 2. 집 앞 배출은 위치를 자백하는 자살행위입니다. 집 주변에 쓰레기를 내놓는 순간, 주변 감시자들에게 생존자의 존재, 거주 인원수, 남은 식량 수준을 그대로 보고하는 꼴입니다. 쓰레기는 비닐봉지에 담아 집 안에 은닉하고, 베이킹소다나 숯 가루를 뿌려 부패 악취를 완벽히 차단해야 합니다. 배출이 불가피하다면 집에서 최소 500m 이상 떨어진 중립 구역에, 인적이 완전히 끊긴 새벽 3~4시나 폭우가 쏟아지는 날에만 흔적 없이 처리해야 합니다. 3. 포장지 소각의 함정: '연기'와 '플라스틱 타는 냄새'를 통제하세요. 증거를 인멸하겠다고 비닐 포장지나 과자 봉지를 실내나 베란다에서 태우면, 유독가스뿐만 아니라 특유의 플라스틱 탄 냄새가 바람을 타고 반경 수백 미터로 퍼집니다. 냄새는 불빛보다 멀리 가고, 공기 중에 훨씬 오래 남습니다. 비닐 포장지는 절대 태우지 마세요. 가위로 잘게 잘라 빈 페트병 안에 나무젓가락으로 빽빽하게 눌러 담아 부피를 극소화한 뒤 뚜껑을 꽉 닫아 밀봉해야 합니다. 4. 인간 배설물 처리: 정전 3일 차의 진짜 살인마. 수도가 끊긴 아파트에서 변기 물을 억지로 내리려 하지 마세요. 배관이 막히는 순간 화장실은 질병의 온상이자 악취의 발원지가 됩니다. 배설물 악취는 창문 틈을 넘어 밖으로 퍼져 생존자의 존재를 즉시 폭로합니다. 변기 물을 내리지 마세요. 양변기에 두꺼운 김장용 쓰레기봉투를 2중으로 씌우고, 볼일을 본 뒤 고양이 모래(벤토나이트)나 톱밥, 소독용 락스 가루를 뿌려 악취와 수분을 흡수시켜야 합니다. 가득 차면 공기를 완전히 빼고 케이블 타이로 밀봉해 격리 구역에 보관해야 합니다. 5. 소모품의 흔적(소음과 유리병): 맥주병, 음료수 캔이 부딪히는 쨍그랑 소리는 야간 정막 속에서 100m 밖까지 선명하게 울립니다. 약탈자들은 밤에 귀를 기울이며 '사람이 물건을 정리하는 소리'를 찾습니다. 유리병과 금속 캔은 반드시 마른 천이나 신문지로 낱낱이 감싸 충격음을 원천 차단해야 합니다. 소리 하나, 냄새 하나가 당신의 은신처 문을 열쇠보다 빠르게 열어줍니다. 결론: 약탈자는 눈으로 집을 찾지 않습니다. 골목에 풍기는 냄새와, 쓰레기 더미에서 나온 찌꺼기로 당신의 집을 찾아냅니다. 쓰레기를 완벽하게 숨기지 못하는 생존자는, 문을 활짝 열어두고 자는 것과 같습니다. 만약 오늘 밤부터 쓰레기차가 영원히 오지 않는다면, 여러분은 일주일 동안 나오는 음식물 찌꺼기와 배설물을 어디에 숨기실 건가요?

Nintendo will announce Majora mid-2027 and release it holiday season 2027. They 100% knew Ocarina was going to be a blockbuster, and Nintendo are masters with their IPs. Here's the fun theory: 2028 they announce a NEW Hero of Time entry, officially making it a trilogy.

Is Nintendo really afraid of a harmless word like “boy” and proper gendered language in the Ocarina of Time remake?

Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget. Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors. Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf. Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now. This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine. Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle. "Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours." Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.

These are some hard hitting facts.

Is the Ocarina of Time remake insanely easy or is it just me?

As a gamer society we will have to eventually wrest with the fact that the successful reception of this recent OOT remake will undoubtably fuel the flames of leering corporate schemers to remake another unnecessary game from not even 10 years ago. And it is all our fault.

Having played the original in 1998 as a kid, revisiting it now makes the time jump hit especially hard. The Legend of Zelda is literally about a boy from the forest with blond hair and blue eyes who draws a holy sword from a stone, is blessed by a holy artifact that resembles a Germanic valknut or Celtic Triskelion, representing courage, aided by the spirits of sage elders from times past, defeats an evil king who is brown from a matriarchal desert society where males are only born once every 100 years, and sacrifices his youth to save the kingdom. Having saved Hyrule, he returns to a childhood in which his heroism is forgotten. He marries Malon, the beautiful, quirky mid from Lon Lon Ranch, founding Ordon village rather than Princess Zelda, grows old and dies in obscurity, unrecognised by the kingdom he sacrificed everything to save. The story is Arthurian, Faustian and deeply Western. A modern tragedy of heroism, duty, lost innocence and the ultimate sacrifice.
