The Royal mail has issued it's new stamps showing characters from British mythology. Stamps are things you put on letters, perhaps you remember them from your youth. Just for fun here's five famous characters from each country in the UK. Which one do you like the best?

Beowulf and Grendel (England). Danish monster gets killed by Beowulf who then slaughters it's grief-stricken mother. Beowolf gets killed by a dragon.

Blodeuwedd (Wales) Man cursed by mother to have no wife. Nice wizards make a woman out of flowers for him. She betrays him and is punished by being turned into an owl each night.

Selkie (Scotland) kinda like a bad mermaid but they transform from human into seals by slipping in and out of seal skin. Like to eat people but easily recognised because they look exactly like seals.

Piskies (Cornwall, we'll class it as a country out of politeness). Little mischievous people who play pranks on travellers but occasionally help out.

Fionn mac Cumhaill (Ireland). Warrior Giant with a magical thumb of knowledge. Builds a causeway to Scotland so he can have fisticuffs with another giant.

Apparently as many as four Neo Nazis waved flags in a deserted street at night in ohio and local black Americans as many as 5 are getting armed, dressing in black wearing balaclavas and patrolling the streets. Seems like another nonsense story. Some of these political activists are grifters. 4 masked men appear on empty streets claiming to be neo nazis and the media makes it seem like the black community is under seige. I call bullshit on the whole thing just like the Jussie Smollet thing. Seen recently and activist shutting down a witness after she was testifying as to what happened in regards to a black girl getting assaulted, apparently the black girl started it.

Honestly I don't think she respects him or sees him as a man. I could never do that to my man but then I respect him and our relationship and he would never put up with all Jada did because he has self respect and is a real man.

Greetings, all. Long time, no chat.

I'm doing research for a book and would like to know what you all think about this.

If you know or remember me, you know I like detailed comments, the more exploratory, the better. GAG is a place to socialize but also to think about the world, and how we all fit together (or don't).

So, I'm asking this question as deliberately and consciously open-ended, so as not to narrow down the thinking too much, but I will say that 'objectification' is key. Write whatever comes to mind. I never delete comments unless you're harassing someone or being extremely rude. Otherwise, I enjoy an array of opinions and angles. Speak your mind, speak your peace, non-anonymized.

I will set one, sort of, parameter, though—I'm not so much interested in, have you ever been an object, or how often, but more so in terms of the hypothetical, how would/did it make you feel?

And, ladies, feel free to comment, but the poll is for the gentlemen this time.

Hope you all are well,

ta, ta

He would compliment me in ways like saying I’m so hot. I’m banging and “big fat ass”. He’d never really compliment me in any other way and not often at all. He’d say i was pretty occasionally too

But with his other girlfriend would say she had perfect boobs. And bigged them up so much. I have no idea how often or if he said other compliments but he was able to say that off his own back. But with me he couldn’t.

I’ve read that narcissists will compliment people less the more attractive they are. His friends told me this girl wasn’t anywhere near as good looking as I am and my narcissistic ex himself said it too. Is that why?

He always said bitterly I know I’m good looking. I know I have a big bum. I know I’m good etc.

What is the reason he couldn’t compliment me but he could this girl?

It's basically all in the main question line. Picture yourself at the point where you're fed up. You see he's interested, but for whatever reason he's not taking that last step to ask to be with you. What's your next move?

The UK and Europe buy a lot of military equipment from the USA, they're actually contracted to do it as part of the NATO agreement. Rising tensions between Europe and the USA have raised concerns about getting spare parts and maintenance for equipment.

There are also online rumours a lot of it comes with built-in kill switches so America can render it useless. The USA denies this, but they would, wouldn't they?

sometimes I add raw bacon to pancake batter and cook it, it's yummy

This is hypothetical. When I say significant other, I am talking about a long term committed partner.

If what you and what your significant other can do are different, please explain why.

-did you think the relationship would last long, maybe over a year?

Yes, everything would be recorded, and would be free for the world to watch, no privacy.

2nd option is full privacy, but no one to talk to irl, you can call, you will live at your current standard of living without working. And you can't leave your house

I was chatting with my crush today and I may be reading too much into it, but I feel like he sort of inadvertently hinted that he finds me beautiful.

We were chatting about random stuff and we got onto the subject of makeup (random, I know). I was saying how I take makeup on holiday but I don’t really wear it that often. I then said (as a joke), “I like to think I’m naturally beautiful”

My crush then said, “exactly, exactly” but he avoided eye contact as he said it and he had a smile on his face.

There was a similar situation a month or so ago where he said he doesn’t like talking to other people because he can’t be bothered. I said, “I must be pretty awesome if you’re talking to me then” and he said “yes, absolutely, you passed the test with flying colours” and when he said this, he looked away smiling.

Does his reaction indicate that he thinks I’m beautiful?

Elon Musk has admitted he fears he could be “assassinated” if he opens up too much on his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to axe corruption in the US government.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on February 28, the Tesla CEO opened up about being smeared by the mainstream media (MSM) and receiving death threats online.

During US President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the 53-year-old appeared to make a Nazi salute to the Republican crowd.

When asked how he was feeling while dealing with the hate, Musk told Rogan it was “stressful”.

“They actually want to kill me,” Musk admitted. “They say so online. There are Reddit forums where they don’t just want to kill me, they want to desecrate my corpse.”
