Every film in the MCU since phase 2 builds on characters from previous films. You can't just jump into the middle and expect to know what's going on.
It's an acronym. Trump Always Chickens Out. A financial analyst used it to describe trends in the market. Trump threatens something stupid, Trump tries to do something stupid, Trump is threatened with any sort of negative repercussions, Trump Always Chickens Out.
Note that he has to personally face repercussions. Everyone else can get fucked, as far as he's concerned.
A reporter asked him about it, and he started whining like he needs a diaper change. This made it more of a story, like the Streisand effect.
Becomes? That's optimistic.
Capaldi wasn't a companion, but he was a character in the show who traveled in the Tardis when the Doctor saved him and his family from Pompeii, and they did make it a plot point (that was then promptly forgotten).
Could be a lot of things. Could be they have a spouse and they are looking for a cheating partner. Could be they are flakey and just lost track of messages. Could be they just aren't into you in a romantic sense, and you've misread your relationship.
I have severe anxiety related to texting people, and it has cost me friends because they assume I'm ignoring them. It could be that.
The best thing to do is be direct. Put your cards on the table. "Are you seeing anyone? I'd like to take you out sometime." Of course, if they are a scumbag cheater, they might just lie. The best liars will work in layers of truth. "I'm technically still married, but we've been separated for a few years."
Starting any relationship requires taking a leap. Put yourself out there, assume the best, and trust that they won't hurt you. You might get hurt that way, or you might find the greatest moments of your life.
I was about to write a long-ass response, but I saw your comment mentioning that it might be bait and I realized you were right. Our grandkids are going to have to defeat the algorith just like we slay the dragons of our own ancestors.
Australian actor starts fundraiser to cryogenically preserve son, who died by suicide after bullying
I can't imagine what she must be going through. It's a horrible and traumatic loss.
But the people selling her on the idea thay such a thing will ever be possible are ghoulishly preying on a grieving mom. Her son is gone and will never be alive again. There's no amount of money that can change that.
Yeah this is obvious bait.
Seems like an awful lot of effort for very little reward.

Get the fuck out of here. Bigotry is judging people before you know them. We know who the democratic leadership is. There are plenty of old progressives, and almost none of them are running for something. You need young people to get involved in order to replace the old people who have died.
The DNC is hobbled by oligarchs who don't want Progressives to achieve any of their goals. The GOP is bolstered by oligarchs who want Conservatives to achieve all of their goals.
I don't know if you wrote this or heard it, but it's an excellent joke.
Sure, but how about all the swims of all the people who never get attacked by sharks? This one is for attention.
I think we have enough money for both, and we don't spend enough on either.
There are a lot of things people do that kill sharks or make the waters uninhabitable for sharks. When people hear that, they think "good, I don't want to get et by a shark when I go swimmin" because that's how they talk. This is supposed to draw attention to how sharks don't actually pose a threat to swimmers, and highlight their importance in the aquatic ecosystems.
Don't worry, Putin will tighten the genital cuff and Trump will stop banging on his pots.
It's what happens when overqualified people are given a project nobody believes in so nobody is invested enough to meddle, and the end product is far better than anyone expected or thought to take credit for.
