True story this is something this crazy guy said he did to his now wife

Jesse Watters recently remembered a very unconventional tactic that, he cracked, he once used to try and win his now-wife's favor.

On an episode of his panel series The Five last week, the Fox News host, 43, said he once "let the air out of" now-wife Emma's tires when he "was trying to get [her] to date" him.

"She couldn't go anywhere. She needed a lift, I said, 'Hey, you need a lift?' She hopped right in the car," said Watters in his story about how they got acquainted, drawing laughter and questions from the rest of the group.

The moment subsequently went viral on social media, drawing a range of reactions and criticism.

And while Emma, 29 — who worked with Watters at the time — didn't know the story before her husband told it on air, "Now she does!" he told his colleagues on The Five.

Joked Greg Gutfeld, "You're basically the Zodiac Killer."

The practice comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Scientific studies have confirmed its effectiveness for SOME conditions & people. Acupuncture is mainly a supplemental therapy.

The research on acupuncture shows that it is effective at rates higher than a placebo with most patients stating the received SOME relief from chronic pain or GI issues.

Some patients reported that their anxiety or depression is reduced as it gives time for contemplation, mediation as well as the acupuncture itself.

Acupuncture, when done hygienically and by a professional has almost NO negatives other than a tiny bit of blood occasionally.

In a meta-analysis published just a few years ago, researchers looked at all the accumulated randomized controlled trials examining how acupuncture fared in treating people with chronic pain. They found that not only did acupuncture work better than no-acupuncture control groups, but there were also significant differences between acupuncture and sham acupuncture. This suggests that not all of the benefits are placebo effects.

Lots of memes and tweets and posts and videos are popping up, assuring women that they can keep their votes secret from their husbands and boyfriends. The unspoken assumption is that lots of women are bullied, intimidated or controlled by their partners, specifically in straight couples when she wants to vote for Harris and he supports Trump. The messages assure these intimidated voters that they can vote in peace and privacy at a polling place. But a lot of Americans now vote by mail, which generally means they fill out their ballots at home, where that privacy may not be available.

Of course a balance between the two is ideal, but it's well known that both of them sometimes counterdict each other. For example cameras that track people, less freedom but more safety.
