Hello computer. Please fan the flames of my main character syndrome until the only space I can engage with is a virtual world that’s tailor made to aggrandize my self-image. I want to look out into a world and see nothing but myself.

The policy provided that migrants could be swiftly removed without notice to third countries that have
provided credible diplomatic assurance that they will not persecute or torture the individuals. For countries that have not provided such assurance, deportees would be notified of their destination and US authorities would assess the likelihood of perse-
cution or torture only if the individual raises such fear on their own.

“Health” section headline writers should be put in a gulag for the harm they do to society.
Matt Damon says cutting one thing out of his diet got him down to his
'high school' weight"I literally, just because of this other thing I did with my doctor, stopped eating gluten," Damon said. "I used to walk around between 185 and 200. I did that whole movie at 167. And I haven't been that light since high school. So it was a lot of training and a really strict diet." With “it was a lot of training and a really strict diet” highlighted.

STEAK-FRITES
Steak participates in the same sanguinary mythology as wine.
Steak or bifteck is the heart of a cut of meat, mythologically it is meat in the pure state, and whoever eats it assimilates a taurine strength. Apparently steak's prestige relates to its semi-awness: blood is visible in it, natural, dense, compact yet sectile; incient ambrosia can easily be imagined as this kind of heavy natter which diminishes under one's teeth so as to make one ware of its original strength and at the same time of its plas-icity in pouring into man's very blood. Full-bloodedness is teak's raison d'être: the degrees to which it is cooked are ex-ressed not in calorie units but in images of blood, rare steak

Understanding VP Titles at Large Banks
• Common Officer Level: At major financial institutions like Bank of America, "Vice President" is a standard middle-management or senior-officer title rather than a rare executive rank. ®
• Experience Level: Employees typically reach the VP level after about 6 to 9 years of experience. ResumeAdapter
• Hierarchy: The title sits above Assistant Vice Presidents (AVPs) and below Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs) and Managing Directors. Thousands of staff members across various regional branches, desks, and business lines carry this title. ®

Trump said that he is prepared to wait for economic distress to mount in Iran, backing away from a renewed round of military offensive.
Iranian strikes in Hormuz and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea continued to keep shippers away from both routes.

Context from an AOL article
AOL
A choice between an ankle monitor or self-deporting
Philbert Viaud, a Haitian resident of Columbus, left the office with an ankle monitor. Viaud said ICE officials transferred his information to a field office near Columbus and told him to go there for an appointment on Aug. 12. He said he has been applying for asylum for the past four years.
Sony Prenice, a Haitian resident, told reporters she was given the option to either wear an ankle monitor or be deported with $2,600.
She chose the ankle monitor, which restricts her to a
75-mile radius around her address. To go beyond that, she must call ICE for permission.
Annette Huelskamp, who interpreted for Prenice, said Prenice is concerned about what the ankle monitor means for visiting her family in Indiana or in case of a medical emergency, as she is diabetic.
Carl Ruby, the senior pastor with Central Christian Church in Springfield, came to the office with a member of his congregation who was called in for an appointment.
Ruby waited outside the front entrance for his congregant to come back outside.
" want the ICE agents to look out and see me praying," he said.

I think I’m missing the whole point of this article, isn’t this just what being married is? Or is my wife scamming me
"We've always wanted to do things 50/50," Max, 31, says. "We made a commitment to each other that what's mine is yours, and vice versa."
The couple got married after two years together, when Max was earning £70,000 a year working in tech, and Hannah, who works in the charity sector, was earning considerably less.
Their salaries go into a joint account and their mortgage, bills, food, petrol and other household costs are paid out of this.
Each month they take the same amount for personal spending.
If one of them wants to buy clothes, make-up or go to the pub they can do that without feeling watched and
"it means we aren't accountable to each other for those things",
says Max.
They also divide money into different pots, including savings and smaller funds for predictable spending like haircuts.

Oof
It was March 2012, and 300 residents of South Bend, Ind., solemnly marched to the Martin Luther King Center to protest the killing in Florida of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin.
A prominent figure at the demonstration was Darryl Boykins, South Bend's first black police chiet. Admired for teaching tennis and boxing to young people, he had been promoted to chiet five years earlier after winning the respect of both black and white officers in a department that sometimes divided along racial lines.
Mr. Buttigieg addressed the protesters, but seemed not to interact with Mr. Boykins. What no one in the crowd knew was that the police top brass were in turmoil — shaken by allegations that Mr. Boykins had improperly taped phone calls of senior white officers who were said to have used racist language, including about him.
With federal prosecutors scrutinizing Mr.
Boykins, the 29-year-old mayor fired the veteran police chief just before the Trayvon Martin protest. No action was taken against the officers.
Precisely what they said on the tapes of their department phone calls is unknown to the public:
Mr. Buttigieg has refused to release them, saying the matter is still being resolved in court.
