The firebombing of Tokyo, also known as the Tokyo Air Raid, was a devastating series of bombing raids during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).

The most destructive of these raids occurred on the night of March 9-10, 1945, and is often highlighted for its extensive damage and high civilian casualties.

This event stands as one of the most devastating air raids in the history of warfare, paralleling the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in terms of destruction and loss of life.

I fucking hate being an adult

How the fuck do y’all deal with this for 60 years? Everyone tells u life gets better after high school. But HOW? Like this is the most bland depressing shit u could imagine. Work with the same 3-10 people that u have nothing in common with for 40 hours a week. Come home. Do stuff outside alone cause u aren’t in school anymore. Go to bed. Repeat.

Like there’s nothing to look forward to anymore on a day to day basis 

Alright, it’s time for a wake-up call. Being an adult means taking responsibility for your own life and happiness.

No one’s going to hold your hand and guide you through it anymore. You want friends? You want hobbies? You want excitement? Well, guess what – it’s on you to make it happen.

What Does Being In Love Feel Like?

Being in love is feeling a friendship set on fire.

It’s a feeling that fills you with a warmth and vigor like nothing else. It makes you feel a happiness and lust for everything like you never have before. That person is now a shining beacon of everything that’s wonderful. The effect that they have on you is warm comfort in which you feel that you can weather any storm. It shows you a side of yourself that can do anything, be anything, and have anything. It’s an energy that fills you with a red hot ball of life as you’ve never known it.

Dating Matters – “I Am Almost 32 and Have Never Had a Girlfriend. Is This Bad?”

forever alone

I will turn 32 in around 6 weeks time and I have recently come to realise that I have never been on a date with a girl. I have asked girls out in the past but I have been rejected. The last time I asked was almost 12 years ago. I took the rejection to heart and I decided I was better off not asking in future.

Recently, however, I have realised that most acquaintances (I have very few friends) on social media (mainly Facebook) are either in long-term relationships or married. It has made me worry that life is passing me by somewhat and that I should probably look into finding someone special.

I am an extreme introvert and I have experienced severe depression for a number of years due to trauma during my 20’s. In the last few years, however, I have worked hard to get my life back on track. I returned to university and graduated with first-class honours in modern history in September 2023. Since then I’ve been working part-time whilst spending most of my free time researching in my university library for a suitable subject for my master’s degree, which I hope to begin this September. As it will be a master’s by research, I am attempting to find a suitable avenue for investigation. Since I’m intending to focus on Portuguese colonialism in Africa, I’m also attempting to learn Portuguese. In other words, I’m keeping myself quite busy.

Recently, however, I have had creeping thoughts about relationships. I’m worried that due to my age and lack of experience, many potential partners may be put off. I’ve read articles concerning ‘red flags’ and the fact I’ve never dated anyone and have no friends may be construed as an issue for many. I have many interests and a few hobbies, but my lack of social skills could hold me back.

I’m therefore asking whether girls may be put off by this?
