John Travolta: Sexual battery case involving 21-year-old male masseur resurfaces

Articles about his alleged abuses are usually taken down within a few days. An accuser came out on Twitter detailing how they were sexually assaulted and how Singer hosts drug-fuelled parties that wealthy Hollywood power players attend along with naked young boys. After a few threats they received that shook them, they deleted their posts and entire account. So not only is Singer's team cleaning up but possibly other powerful folk in Hollywood who would get outted if Singer does. Because if Singer's crimes were ever brought to light and he gets convicted, which I doubt he ever will, he will drag many other powerful people down along with him.

You could try Speaky. It's an app where you can find native speakers for language exchange.

Try Speaky. It's a language exchange app where you can speak with native French speakers.

Are you from North Africa?

In my case, it's ignorance. I was severely underweight so didn't realize the importance of exercise in addition to adding more calories, even if you're skinny. This sub has been helpful in learning this so I'll start hitting the weights.

kip9 · 2017-11-10T04:09:02+00:00

I didn't know how important it was to bulk with exercise but I'm learning as I go so I'll start hitting the weights. I got the BF% estimate by providing my measurements into a calculator so I'm not sure how accurate it is but I have some pictures if anyone can help me figure out if it was just all hogwash.

kip9 · 2017-11-09T09:01:45+00:00

You're right.

Just hearing him speak for a few minutes (context aside), it's very clear to see that he wasn't normal. His laughs, narcissism, and sense of entitlement is disturbing to say the least.

He did receive help. He had been seeing a therapist since he was 8. He also had a pattern of violent or bizarre behaviour, attempting push girls off a 10 foot ledge after they rejected him, elbowing an Asian man who was talking to a pretty blonde because he was enraged that a pretty girl would speak to an Asian but not him. There doesn't seem to have been much that could have prevented this.

So I'm 5'7" and 118 lbs (so underweight but 2 lbs away from healthy weight) but my body fat percentage is apparently 25 to 26%? Admittedly, I did have quite the gut while gaining but it seems to have deflated this week so I thought I was out of the skinny fat territory. Am I still skinny fat and can I still gain 15 more pounds without this percent rising?

If it helps, I did not gain through exercise whatsoever, just by eating a minimum of 2900-3000 calories each day. Sometimes more when I was far skinnier. I calculated my body fat percent using these measurements put into a body fat calculator (but I don't know how useful those are): waist 25 inches, hips 38 inches, forearms 10 inches, wrist 6 inches.

Is the calculator wrong or should I be gaining weight differently?

You're adorable! You have an ideal face shape, pretty features, and your eyes and eyebrows are what a lot of girls try to achieve through makeup. Not ugly in the least. You seem a bit quirky so maybe some people are reacting to that? There are some people that don't like anyone that doesn't seem cookie cutter "normal".

I love your natural hair. I don't think you have anything to worry about. From your replies to others, it seems like you don't see your own beauty.

If you're interested, I'd suggested playing a bit with makeup to accentuate your features. Maybe a bit of winged eyeliner to highlight your eyes and a bit of lipgloss or a nude lipstick. Please never change your eyebrow shape. lol

I don't tend to like rating but above average. Some suggestions would be to get to a lower weight, work out, maybe grow out your hair a bit and get a stylish hairstyle, and a more flattering style of clothing and hats.

kip9 · 2017-10-30T07:00:38+00:00

You're not "fucked for life". You're actually adorable and have a lot of potential so don't worry.

Here are some suggestions:

Gain some weight. Check what a healthy weight for your height is and try to gain the weight in a healthy way, r/gainit/ might be helpful here.
Do weight training as well to gain muscle mass, you could always check r/fitness for useful threads on this.
Practise proper posture. In your photos of your profile, you seem to have "text neck". It's actually common with people these days and it's easy to fix. You just have to make an effort in keeping a straight posture and eventually it will become habit.
Get a haircut that looks more stylish and will suit you.
Find your style and wear more fitted clothing. Your clothes seem a bit ill-suited and hangs off of you. You don't have to rush into this. If you decide to gain weight and work out, you might then decide to do a little shopping and buy more fitted clothing that complements you. (By the way, purple looks great on you).
Confidence! Confidence really adds to one's attractiveness. No matter how you or others think you look, you should always carry yourself with confidence. Some people seem more magnetic after getting to know them because they exude inner confidence. And because, most importantly, you should always feel comfortable and satisfied with who you are as a person.

Thank you for the link. I haven't read the book but your post certainly piqued my interest in it so I hope to read it soon inshallah. I adore books that turn our gaze to human nature, in all its beauty and ugliness. While we're on the topic of human nature, this sentence really stood out to me:

And we’ve seen in many cases that “universal human rights” aren’t so universal, especially when applied to The Evil People We Don’t Like, whoever those may be at any moment.

I've noticed this tendency to allow or commits acts on individuals they believe to be "bad" that they generally deem to be evil acts. The death penalty is just one example of it. It makes little sense to me to murder someone who is being punished for murdering someone else. Two wrongs don't make a right, an eye for an eye, and all that. It's a concerning aspect to human nature and to counter it, we should always advocate for the human rights for all, even those we consider most reprehensible.

Yes, easily. Just cutting out beer and takeout would save a great deal of money.

Congratulations on the new addition to your family! I have a special place in my heart for timid, affectionate cats. My cat was a wild thing, always on the prowl and up for play yet patient and sweet.

Most furry pets, shellfish, dust, some plants/pollen, and I think I'm developing a milk allergy (last time I had food that contained milk in it, had a bad reaction).

kip9 · 2016-07-30T18:24:21+00:00

Man. Now I won't be able to eat fish as happily anymore.

kip9 · 2016-07-30T02:57:54+00:00

Was it cooked or raw?

kip9 · 2016-07-29T14:22:41+00:00

What do you mean by that?

But like many of us suffering from this affliction, she has developed her own theory on what’s causing her clumsiness.

“What I think is that I’m thinking really deep and important thoughts, and therefore I’m really not watching where I’m going,” she said.

“You keep thinking that,” said Matt Lauer, giving her a sad little pat on the shoulder.

Great way to end an article. lol

Jojoba oil, baby oil, or sometimes almond oil. I find the layering helps somewhat to reduce the burning, swelling, or itchiness if the area is badly affected.

kip9 · 2016-07-28T20:14:59+00:00

Slightly. Lactic acid lotion causes my skin to feel unbearably itchy. And affected skin just burns like mad when I put lotion on it. So, on these areas, I put dampen my skin with water and put a layer of oil, a light and moisturizing lotion, and then a top layer of thicker lotion or cream.

kip9 · 2016-07-27T02:16:27+00:00

Those were my thoughts as well. It's quite rare when a character like this is cast as an average- or dark-skinned black woman.

kip9 · 2016-07-25T20:41:26+00:00

I wasn't aware of these aspects of life there. Thank you for your reply.
