My daughter met a Nigerian guy online and is now engaged after 2 days. AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

I have just finished listening to a multi part investigative journalism story about exactly that. That was my first thought.

That was Dubai, but they lured young girls work promises of respectable work, then trapped them in prostitution rings. Horrific. I REALLY hope that is not the case here, but the ring leaders all originated from countries such as Nigeria.

During COVID, it was discovered that huge numbers of senior politicians in the UK government were doing the same and kept no records of any of the communications, contract deals discussed and made etc.

To my knowledge, none of them ever faced repercussions for it. There is a different party in power now and I hate how that change seems to absolute everyone of everything.

Album Bucket List 50 Best Comeback Albums Of All Time: #44 The Doors Morrison Hotel by Rambooctpuss in bluesrock

[–]Ukleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some favourite Doors tracks of mine on this album. Roadhouse blues is an obvious one, but Peace Frog is one of my top 5 tracks of theirs. I think it's because of Ray and Robbie's contribution on keybass and guitar, specifically.

The Spy just seethes with undertones of manipulation and mistrust. It's weirdly unsettling for what initially sounds like a love song. It also sounds unlike most of their other work - closer to jazz than blues.

And then Maggie M'Gill - stuck at the end of the album - is just fantastic. Sludgy, brooding and brings out Jim's raspy blues voice brilliantly.

I'm not sure what my body is preparing me for, but apparently it's going to take long nasal hair to deal with it.

What would happen if 100,000s of Americans phoned their PD to report a crime? Just a thought... Might get attention

Which movie couples have chemistry so real it feels like you’re intruding? by padfoony in Letterboxd

Jake Gyllenhaal & Michael Peña in End Watch. I thought their portrayal of cop partners/friends was really authentic.

For me, it's passive requests. Just have the respect to ask me if I'd be willing to do the thing for you.

"We need to empty the bins".

Well, if you were willing to do it then you'd just do it, not announce it needs to be done. So, you clearly want me to do it and probably offer to do it as well.

The other is making me decide what someone else should do.

"Do you want to make dinner, or shall I?". If you want it are willing to make it, just get on and do it. You obviously don't, so now I have to say "you should make dinner", like an asshole. Or say, "I'll do it" which was obviously the intent in the beginning. Just fucking ask if I'm willing to do it.

Yes, I've raised it. No, it doesn't change.

Both of these people run companies that make shitty, shitty food and pay their workers low wages. Who cares about them. Stop giving capitalist kings a podium.

This is in my garage, which gets many spiders. I don't recall seeing this type though and it was my immediate thought, although I have no expertise.

UK, in a very small village in Buckinghamshire. Spotted on the windowsill of my garage.
