Read the previous instalment of Diary of a Hitman here . I don’t come into contact with real photos much these days. You don’t, do you? Not in the modern world. It’s all screens now, that’s what I’ve observed. It shouldn’t matter to me, and it doesn’t really. I know that things change and there’s nothing you can do to stop them. And I don’t wish for the world to return to any previous state, because I know this world now. Recently I bought a PlayStation from Argos, but I’ve yet to plug it in. I had heard there was a game where you were managing supervolcanoes, quelling them, evacuating islands underneath them, that sort of thing. But after I got the device home I realized that it didn’t have a disc drive, and likely would need to be connected to the internet. I don’t have it, I don’t even have a computer,...

Cannibalism Is Bad for You, According to Researchers Who Actually Studied It

For anyone out there who was thinking about dabbling in some light cannibalism , I’ve got some bad news for you. Turns out, as reported by Reuters , researchers from Poland and the Czech Republic have concluded that cannibalism is bad for your health. Man, it’s like everything is bad for you nowadays. Led by Michal Misiak of the University of Wroclaw and Petr Turecek of Charles University in Prague, the study wasn’t trying to settle the question of whether eating people is morally wrong. We settled that one a long time ago, and there isn’t much gray area. We might let it slide if your soccer team’s plane crashes in the Andes, but we will not abide by nonemergency human consumption. Instead, the researchers took a novel approach, adopting an objective view of the human body as a source of meat and asking whether it’s even worth eating. Does it provide you with the nutrition you need? Researchers Confirm Cannibalism Is Bad for Your Health Calorica...

Weekly Horoscope: July 12-July 18

Image
The New Moon in Cancer on Tuesday is a reset that doesn’t announce itself — it just reorganizes what you thought you wanted and hands it back with better instructions. Something personal is asking to be started this week, stargazer, and Mars squaring Venus all week means the path to it won’t be smooth. Desire and drive keep bumping into each other. That’s not a reason to wait. Work around it anyway. By Saturday, Pluto trining Uranus hits exact, and something that’s been building slowly in the background finally has a name — a realization, a decision, a change in how you understand where you’ve been and why it went that way. The week opens with a clear chance to begin something meaningful and closes with a perspective that reframes the beginning entirely. Stay in it long enough to feel both ends. That’s where this week pays off. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 There’s a gap between what you...

Introducing the ‘Ocean View’ Trend That Can Help Couples Fight Better

Any time I’m near the ocean , I feel a sense of relief like a breath of fresh air. Admiring its vastness helps my own problems feel small and insignificant. This phenomenon can actually help us better navigate conflicts in our intimate relationships. Dating experts label it the “ocean view.” What Is an ‘Ocean View’ In Relationships?  According to Dr. Eli Kraiem , a clinical psychologist and professor at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, the “ocean view” in relationships describes “the ability to zoom out from the immediate conflict ensuing and see the relationship at large.” “When couples are disappointed in one another, their perspective often narrows [to] where the point of contention, such as the forgotten text, critical comment, or disagreement, can feel like evidence of a much larger problem,” Dr. Kraiem says. “When we take the ocean view, we are remembering the broader context of the relationship. This means reflecting on the history that the couple shares t...
