Three months ago, Celine and her best friend, Natalie* were both laid off from the same ad agency. No
longer able to afford her $3,200 rent in Brooklyn, Celine was forced to move back into her parents’ house in the suburbs. “I’m still reeling, my whole life was flipped on its head,” the 29-year-old says. The only thing more humiliating than getting fired and packing up your adult existence into your teenage bedroom? Seeing your best friend survive the same brutal layoff and emerge unscathed. “I love Natalie but she didn’t have to lift a finger because her husband is...

Nikkei Asia ^
SHANGHAI -- China's consumer prices declined slightly in October, according to data released Thursday, while a new survey suggests economic headwinds are restraining shoppers during the country's Singles Day retail campaign. Weighed
down by falling food prices, the consumer price index fell 0.2% compared with the same month a year earlier, the statistics office said. With deflationary pressure looming over the country's growth prospects, the index had also contracted in July. It was flat in September. Factory gate inflation in October came in at -2.6%, versus -2.5% in the previous month, due to softer commodity prices. Declining aggregate demand appears...

Novak Djokovic wins U.S. Open, record 24th Grand Slam singles title

Halfway through a second set that lasted 1 hour, 44 minutes, a test of tenacity as much as talent amid a U.S. Open final as exhausting as it was exhilarating, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev engaged each other in a 32-stroke point. It
was among many such elongated exchanges between two men whose styles are nearly mirror images, and Djokovic capitulated on this one by netting a backhand. He fell to his back and stayed down, chest heaving. The crowd roared. Djokovic sat up but remained on the ground for a bit. The crowd roared more, appreciating the effort, saluting...

The trendy dating platform will now allow its millions of users to report each other for ghosting on an in-person date. The
app claims to be the first to take a clear stance on the matter. According to Engadget, the app’s updated guidelines are intended to “discourage no-show behavior through disallowing the act of not turning up to an in-person meet up despite clear plans agreed by both parties.” Stood-up singletons will now be able to use the in-app report feature to rat out offenders. A moderator will then fact-check the claim before taking action. The behavior will also now...

Around one in five people run background checks on their online dates before meeting them, a new survey says — but who has time for all that rigmarole? Some
38% of respondents say they simply “stalk” their first dates online instead. The survey of 1,000 singles, conducted in December by the Thriving Center of Psychology, comes as 127 million adults report being unattached. Despite an astounding 91% insisting they find solace in their independence, one in three admit they are not content as a singleton. Half confessed to missing physical connection, while others feel like they are being left in...

A relationship expert has defended people having sex on a first date, with almost half of Aussies admitting to doing the deed straight away. Relationship,
sex, and mental health therapist Rachel Wright, from New York, said there is no 'right time' to have sex with a new partner and going for it on the first date can quickly determine if you want to continue the relationship. According to a study, 49 per cent of participants said they have slept with someone on the first date, with those who don't saying they prefer to establish an emotional connection before getting into...

John McEntee, the former director of presidential personnel under President Trump, recalled having a difficult time trying to connect with fellow conservatives in a big blue state and wanting to create a solution to his problem. “So
I’m from Southern California. Everyone says, ‘How could you live there?’” McEntee said in an appearance on “Mornings with Maria” Thursday. “Some of the most conservative people I know live there, we’re just having trouble finding each other because of the cultural pressure.

House Judiciary Republicans are asking a senior FBI official to testify in a transcribed interview, alleging the official has signed off on many “adverse personnel actions” against conservative agents, saying they were being targeted in a “purge.” Their

When Cecilie Fjellhoy, a 29-year-old Norwegian grad student living in London, swiped right on a 28-year-old supposed billionaire diamond heir on Tinder in 2018, she thought she’d found her Prince Charming. But the supposed dream man, who called himself Simon Leviev, turned out to be a nightmare, an international con man that
duped her out of $250,000 and landed her in the psych ward. SNIP Leviev’s profile showed a man who appeared to live a jet-setting life full of stylish suits and designer clothes, sipping cocktails on exotic beaches and attending high-powered business meetings. Fjellhoy had no reason to doubt...

“Follow the science,” co-anchor Joe Scarborough said. “If
we’re telling governors to follow the CDC for a year when Donald Trump is president of the United States, shouldn’t they follow the CDC guidance when Joe Biden is president of the United States?” Co-anchor Willie Geist called it a “curious move” by Murphy who “stands alone,” no longer working with Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo or Democratic Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont. Geist also said that about 70% of adults in New Jersey have received at least one dose of the vaccine. “Good luck getting people to wear masks through Memorial...

'No dancers, flirts, or street-walkers need answer': Century-old personal ads reveal how singles looked for love in the 1900s, from a 'business gentleman' seeking 'a woman of means and refinement' to a 'wealthy woman' who 'dreads a lonely future'

Century-old personal ads reveal how single people in the 1900s tried to find love — decades before dating apps like Tinder and Bumble made it possible for men and women to seek a partner in just one swipe. Before
the age of digital dating, many people used local newspaper ads, which could be placed anonymously in by singles hoping to find love, companionship, or even marriage. While the first printed personal ads appeared in newspapers as far back as the 1700s and were still common in the 1990s, a new collection of them curated by MyHeritage.com shows just what singletons...

If you thought liberal journalists and hosts were ugly to Brett Kavanaugh, you haven’t seen anything yet. Minutes
after Donald Trump finished nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Saturday, MSNBC speculated on secret coded messages the President was sending to racists. If that wasn't enough, race hustler Al Sharpton even disgustingly singled out Barrett’s children. Using the nominee’s two adopted Black children as some sort of prop, Sharpton sneered, “Not to mention, that was the least diverse audience I've ever seen in around announcement like this.

A just-released report from the Pew Research Center sends a dagger straight through the heart of a popular mythology—the one that insists that what single people want, more than anything else, is to become coupled. So
untrue. The findings, based on a national, random sampling of nearly 5,000 adults in the U.S., showed that 50 percent of single people are not interested in a committed romantic relationship and they are not even interested in a date. Another 10 percent want nothing more than casual dates. About a quarter of single people, 26 percent, would be interested in casual dates or...

| August 6, 2020 | Bridie Pearson-Jones
Singletons looking for a date online are pretending to be more politically progressive to attract new partners, in a new trend that's been dubbed 'wokefishing'. The
term, coined by writer Serena Smith in an article for Vice, is a portmanteau of 'catfishing' where a person pretends to be someone else online and 'woke' which describes someone who is socially conscious and alert to injustice in the world. Smith, from Leeds, claims she herself was a victim of wokefishing, as her former partner had lured her in believing the pair had similar beliefs, but revealed his true self when she decided...
