I hope Turkey keeps the head cool. And Iran needs to figure out where those missiles come from and deal with it.

Example 1
A new employee joined my job a while back. A week later there's a company bowling night. There's the chance for her to get to know everyone better outside the office. Something I realize throughout our interactions, she's a toucher. Attractive woman close to my age, I'm single as fuck, I know better than to read into it, but I like the attention, so no complaints. She's just laughing and touching and brushing my arm every time I say something. I don't think I'm saying anything funny. But it was a fun night.
Fast-forward some time, the bowling night was the most her and I had ever interacted. She's better friends with the people she sits with. Most of my interactions with her in the office are while I was playing with her dog who would come by. The touching probably stopped after a month. Never really noticed her doing it to other people. She also had a boyfriend the entire time. I don't know what to take from that.
_______
Example 2
Coworker's friend from out of town comes to visit. We're out for a guy's night. This dude will not stop touching me. I'm polite and just deal with it, but I'm aware it's JUST me out of everyone there he's touching.
Coworker asked if we wanted to hangout again that weekend, I said sure, but I did make the note, "can you tell X, I'm not gay", I should've broached the subject gentler, but I felt comfortable jumping to that conclusion since it was JUST me he was doing it to.
I'd like to think I wasn't being homophobic, but sorry he didn't have the soft touch and cute laugh example 1 did.
______
Example 3
I befriend a couple guy and girl that I hang out with several times. All good interactions. Their relationship seems to have gone on for a few years. Super solid. One day I bring along a female friend to lunch. And then my guy friend ends up being a bit touchy in a way similar to the person described in example 1. Not as much, and there is an optics thing of course, but I'm self conscious for two reasons, "uh, dude your girlfriend is right there" and "uh, I wonder if my friend is bothered by this". Does she (my friend) mind? Is this reflecting poorly on me? At least on the surface everything was friendly, but I don't know.
I was wondering if I should've apologized to my friend for that, but I was also wondering if I was just projecting.
But I don't know, I don't know if I'm around touchers a lot.
Another time I was at a party, and one of the women there just sat on my lap. She wasn't touching me the whole party, but the sitting thing was enough of a hint for me to follow-up and we went out later that week. So I do see it as a way to show interest. But I'd like to think that wasn't the case for examples 1 and 3.
Also the optics around touching. People who do it unintentionally? Gender optics. If you're someone who does mind, how do you communicate?
Are you a toucher? How self aware are you about it?

He didn’t want to throw a bomb and kill a ton of people, thought:
Quote:The men said nothing during the brief proceeding, but Kayumi smirked and looked over at Balat as the judge read part of the complaint that said that they were acting in support of the Islamic State group. Balat stared ahead at the defense table.
According to the complaint, Kayumi blurted out, as he was being arrested Saturday, that "ISIS" was the reason for his conduct. Balat, 18, later told authorities that he had pledged allegiance to the extremist group, and Kayumi, 19, asserted that he was affiliated with the Islamic State group, the complaint said.
Officers asked Balat whether he was aiming to accomplish something akin to the bombing of the Boston Marathon in 2013, when two pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the finish line, killing three people and wounding hundreds more.
"No, even bigger," Balat replied, according to the complaint.
Don’t you love unrepentant terrorists wannabes?

It seems like, in the last decade, we've collectively moved away from those ideas and have started looking inward, rejecting anything that goes against our preconceived notions, rejecting anything new or different, rejecting anything that makes us feel even slightly uncomfortable. Everything has become either "you're on my side" or "you're against me" as if we hadn't grown up learning the world was a complicated place with many different viewpoints.

This planet doesn't need us. It had been spinning for billions of years without us. The difference is that now we are making this planet unlivable not only for us but for other species too. The best that could happen is for this failure if a species that has only brought monsters into existence to run its course.
