I found an article about a German man who met a girl online in Brazil, flew all the way out there, she didn't show up, he ran out of money while in Brazil, and ended up getting stuck and just living at the Brazilian airport for about two weeks.
He got catfished hard.

Weird. I buy the premade frozen store brand ones, and about the only thing that I've tried, that made them as good as McDonalds, was using a deep fryer like a FryDaddy with peanut oil. Cooking them in pans never worked as well.McDonald's explains how to make their famous BIG, BLACK DICK using two ingredients

Florida man EXPOSES HIMSELF to middle schoolers during online math class
A Florida man “Zoom-bombed” a middle school math class in Orange County, Florida, last week, and exposed himself to the students.
The Apopka Police Department is investigating but has not yet determined who the intruder was who interrupted the Wolf Lake Middle School virtual class.
Alexis Neely told News 6 her 14-year-old son was in the online classroom when the incident took place.
“He told me that when they were in class, all of a sudden, a man came on the screen who was naked and had exposed himself to all the kids,” Neely said.
In a memo sent to parents, Principal Cynthia Haupt said school administration “handled the situation” but did not offer any details.
As the coronavirus pandemic spreads and schools are closed down, many classrooms have gone virtual. But with that technological step comes some difficulties.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, federal authorities have been warning about security weaknesses in the popular video conferencing app Zoom that allows such “Zoom-bombing” to take place. Both the company and law enforcement officials have provided suggestions for tightening security, including using the “waiting room” feature and requiring a password to enter a virtual meeting.
News 6 looked into other school systems in Florida to see how they were handling online instruction. Most were using a different app to provide instruction, but at least one — Brevard County public schools — said they asked teachers not to do live video sessions.

Opinion | "My 600-lb Life" shut down due to coronavirus. It shouldn't start back up.
In 2020, it feels strange that we are still having to debate why shows that promote unhealthy ideas about body image are — at best — psychologically damaging for millions of Americans.

In 2020, it feels strange that we are still having to debate why shows that promote unhealthy ideas about body image are — at best — psychologically damaging for millions of Americans.
The makers of “My 600-lb Life,” about Americans with severe obesity attempting gastric bypass surgery and one of the TLC network’s top-rated shows, continued filming in late March despite the health risks and compromised immune systems for some cast members. They carried on well after the public health guidance to stay at home and practice social distancing, proving how powerful our fatphobic curiosity truly is.
In 2020, it feels strange that we are still having to debate why shows that promote unhealthy ideas about body image are — at best — psychologically damaging for millions of Americans. But despite societal progress in many areas, cultural mores toward weight have not shifted much. Bias and discrimination against fat bodies runs rampant in workplaces, health care and various social settings. Estimates based on current trends suggest that half of Americans will be considered obese by the end of the decade. Even so, in 49 states, employees can still be fired because of their weight. Multiple studies show employers are less likely to hire fat women, with hiring managers less likely to acknowledge their leadership potential and career aptitude and more likely to associate their bodies with laziness and unprofessionalism.
The fear of becoming or being fat fuels eating disorders — which affect people of all sizes. But life-threatening mental and physical ailments can be harder to detect in larger people, who are sometimes told they aren’t “thin enough” to experience an eating disorder. And the media remains all too quick to celebrate weight loss as an accomplishment, despite the fact that losing weight is not in fact synonymous with becoming more healthy, mentally or physically.
It’s OK to be fat. And if reading or reciting that phrase of affirmation causes even the slightest hesitation, a number of factors could be at play. Reality TV shows undeniably contribute to these factors, but a cultural narrative this entrenched is built over time.
Hopefully, placing more empowered fat people both in front of and behind the camera and in writer’s rooms can continue to help shift this paradigm. Because sadly, like many things in entertainment (and in life), sometimes we have to see it to really believe it.

HAES bitch go away. Being 400 pounds is not healthy and not okay and it's fucking mental you'd think people who literally can't get out of bed to cook or shower without risking intense fear of falling or fit in a goddamn car are "okay". If you think people who are literally 2 months away from death being saved is bad, you need to rein in your ego and re-evaluate your life. What's this bitch look like? ... I'd guess not under BMI 50.Opinion | "My 600-lb Life" shut down due to coronavirus. It shouldn't start back up.

Article (archive)
A screenshot from Facebook currently doing the rounds on Twitter tells the story of a man who lost his cat and then accidentally ended up with both his cat and a clone. It’s perfect, and I’m obsessed.
The original post is from Russian man Stanislav Zak, made in a Facebook group for cat lovers called Purrtacular.
“Last month my cat disappeared,” Stanislav wrote.
“A week ago I found him and brought him home. Today my cat came back. Now I have two identical cats.”
The cats are identical, even for cats, which have a habit of all looking the same. (Don’t come for me, cat people – you know it’s true. I had a domestic short hair as a kid and even though I thought he was the best cat ever and unique in his own special way, I’ve met about 30 other bloody cats exactly like him.)
Stanislav’s post in the Purrtacular Facebook group (member count: 187,000) has more than 6,000 reactions and several hundred comments. More importantly, some community-minded person took a screenshot to share with the outside world and thank god for that, because this post is the only thing bringing me joy right now.
I have so many questions about this story: has Stanislav figured out which one is his? Where did the other cat come from? Are they long-lost sisters, about to perform some Parent Trap-style hijinks and hook Stanislav up with the other cat’s owner?
Unfortunately, all of these questions will right now need to remain unanswered. I’ve DM’d Stanislav on Facebook and he hasn’t gotten back to me yet. To be fair, there’s a few other things going on at the moment – a global pandemic and what have you. For all we know, the original Facebook post is old or fake or both old and fake, making me a huge dumbass for getting so excited about it in the first place.
But whatever. It rules. And I’m obsessed.
