New York Govenor Andrew Cuomo making unwanted advances at wedding
Anna Ruch, said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo placed his hands on her cheeks at a wedding party and asked if he could kiss her.
Ruch, a former member of the Obama administration and the 2020 Biden campaign, said she met Cuomo at the crowded wedding reception in September 2019.
Within moments of being introduced, Ruch claims, the gov put his hand on the small of her lower back, which was exposed in an open-back dress.
“I promptly removed his hand with my hand, which I would have thought was a clear enough indicator that I was not wanting him to touch me,” she told the Times.
But the governor apparently didn’t get the hint.

Man Suffers Identity Crisis After Jiu-Jitsu Trained Girlfriend Chokes Him Out
My gf and I have been dating for about 6 months. We both go to the same school, so we see each other all the time, and are both going to graduate in June. We have had a great relationship, and I have no reason to dislike her. She is a rational, level-headed, and smart woman who I absolutely trust.
My gf is trained in Jiu Jitsu and I believe she is decently good (I’ve never seen her fight). She has been training at a fancy gym consistently since she started college 5 years ago. I have zero self defense training as I don’t have the time or money to go to classes or a martial arts gym. I boxed briefly in early college but had to quit pretty early on because I got a new job.

BJJ White Belt Defeats BJJ Black Belt by Submission
According to the video owner, the ‘white belt’ was an advance grappler:
Guys, Veselin Dukov is not a beginner, he’s actually a very advanced grappler, but he is technically a white belt because he has less than 10 sessions with the Gi. The black belt shoudn’t be ashamed because he lost to a young and very talented grappler who has won the Bulgarian championships on various occasions and ended up second in the Euro ADCC trials. What happened at the tournament was, that he did the Expert No Gi, and wanted to test his skills against black belts in the Gi. Since he’s not a black belt, he obviously doesn’t have one and he borrowed a white belt from a female competitor. We asked NAGA officials if he could use a white belt and they said OK. So don’t give the BB such a rough time, he was legit.

A Brazilian footballer staged his whole career for 24 years – he could barely kick a ball. One time he was forced to play as the team had no strikers. He was worried he would get exposed, so before the game he started a fight with a fan and as a result got sent off before the game even started
He returned to Brazil and started a career as a farce footballer since he “wanted to be a footballer, but did not want to play football”, becoming friends of many footballers so that he could have a big network to be recommended whenever he needed a new club. With a physical shape similar to professional footballers, but lacking skills, his fraud consisted of signing a short contract and stating that he was lacking match fitness so that he would spend the first weeks only with physical training where he could shine. At the time he went to train with other players, he would feign a hamstring injury and, by the lack of technology at the time, it was difficult to discover that it was a fake injury. He had a dentist to claim that he had focal infection whenever any club wanted to go further in the case. By doing these steps, he went on to stay a few months at the clubs just training and without ever exposing that he was a fraud footballer.

Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford were drunk in the scene where Leia and Solo arrive at Cloud City in “The Empire Strikes Back” due to partying all night into the morning with the Rolling Stones and Eric Idle.
“Eric Idle rented me his house [during the filming of The Empire Strikes Back], but then he stayed at the house as well, and one night he invited the Rolling Stones over. You know how that happens? It was like [sarcastically] ‘Oh my God, again?’
“I said to Harrison [Ford], ‘The Rolling Stones are going to come over!’ And we had a really early call the following morning, but you have to measure the fun – Rolling Stones, or early call? Rolling Stones, or early call? And we decided on both.
