Not that there is anything wrong with that since I is one...

I became instantly hungry seeing this, even though I ate a decent breakfast not too long ago....
I watched Nearby by Alise Zariลa last night!
I really liked it! It was corkey and cute!

Oh, wow! Pretending not to notice that only three out of thirty players on the Italian team are Italian-born does not change the fact that only three out of thirty players on the Italian team are Italian-born. If the rules allow it, so be it, but it definitely seems odd to me if you ask me.
Your post prompted me to Google this place, & to my surprise, I stopped by and even shopped there once right after they opened. It was drive-by, impromptu shopping. I remember the prices were the lowest I have ever seen, but they are literally in the middle of nowhere. No surprise they are closing.
Check it out yourself! There are only three Italian-born players on the Italian team.
What surprised me the most was that two of the Italian players were born in Venezuela.
Two Canadian-born, the rest of the roster were born in the US.

May I ask you why? What did I miss?
After deciding to be myself, I had a lot of first and last dates, and it was discouraging, but I was no longer interested in getting into a relationship just to be in a relationship. But once we clicked, we clicked immediately, and we have been together for close to 11 years now.

It led to many successful first, second, third, etc., dates and two marriages that eventually failed, since I was pretending to be someone I am not.

My fortunes changed when I decided to be myself instead of trying to guess how to impress my date, and adjust my behaviour to what I thought she might like.

I considered a dating app as a way to get through the door and get to the first date. The rest was up to me, like the โgood old daysโ. Regardless of what led us together, dating app or otherwise, if I didnโt already have the tangible things that my partner appreciates, Iโd still be single.

And there was rarely an opportunity to impress my date's parents on the first date. Also, I might find it super strange, and as a red flag, if I met someone and they would immediately introduce me to their parents.
2/
I hear what you are saying, but I donโt necessarily agree. For one, dating app or not, being in the 90% has ALWAYS been harder than being in the top 10%. And showing off a Rolex in real life is WAY easier than on dating apps.

Latvia lost almost half of its population during WWI and all the chaos that followed.

The movie was a stark reminder that Latvians always found themselves fighting someone elseโs war, trying to figure out who were supposed to be the good guys and who were the bad guys, while it changed by the minute who were the good guys and who were the bad guys.

Last night I watched Blizzard of Souls/Dvฤseฤผu putenis (2019), one of the movies featured at the #BostonBalticFilmFestival. It was a hard movie to watch. It was about #Latvia during #WWI. One of the rare movies that didnโt glorify war.

I love how social media today allows us to criticize others anonymously.

I donโt think weโll ever see a player who can boast 11 championships in 13 seasons.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.

A great video made by college student Sam Tapper for the Resist and Unsubscribe campaign.
What will you say at the end, when your kids ask, โDad, what did you do in the war against fascism?โ
โIn the Mirrorโ (โSpogulฤซtisโ in #Latvian) was one of them. The entire movie was taped as a #selfie!
The plot was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but set in a #CrossFit environment.
So corkey but I LOVED it!

I bought a virtual pass to the #Boston #Baltic #Film #Festival, which includes 20 movies. I find a hidden gem every year by watching movies from the festival.
