‘There’s no scientific basis to “airing out” the vagina,’ Dr Nitu Bajekal tells Metro.co.uk. ‘But we always advise it, because of our tendency to wear synthetic underclothes.’
I'm glad that's sorted then.

@pjh Based on the blurb, that reminds me of a research I read about years ago regarding women going braless. They found no negative effects, but I got the distinct impression that none of the volunteers' breasts were large enough to need support for comfort.

a woman who insisted all of her lovers give her a 'sample' to add to a collection jar she used for this purpose
Oh, fucking gross. If you're going to do this, you probably should rely on fresh "samples" and not store it. If I'm not mistaken, it's going to... grow something you don't want to put on your face.
Combine it with raw water, let it mature, GOLD MINE!

Sadly, that is probably would be a huge seller. Eew.

One of the commenters mentioned that since she's running a "business", things like the free stays would be business income. Hmm, tax audit on the horizon?...

This looks like something for https://twitter.com/forexposure_txt. Well, roles sorta reversed in this case, the artist asked the business for handouts.

@boner Wow... what a royal fucking douchebag that Paul guy is.
Yes, why don't you take the initiative to make sure that person's employer knows what a cunt she is. Try to get her fired for criticizing you and calling you a name, even though she was speaking her mind to you as a private individual and not representing Aldi at all. Publish the messages she sent you, along with her name. Now that's some real class!

Oh look... their website is 508ing.
Maybe Paul should stop being a freeloader and pay CloudFlare for the amount of traffic his publicity stunt is bringing.

This means that it’s easy to lose them.This wasn't a problem with DS cartridges, because you could just keep them in your mouth.

I have a relative who was born with spina bifida. A mild form as she can get around normally. She was in diapers until age 7 and is mildly retarded I believe due to lack of oxygen during birth.
She works and holds a full-time job though has help managing her finances.

Sounds like your typical run-of-the-mill fumes event. Not particularly unusual. Happens couple of times a month (somewhere in the world).

Passengers reported a bad odour making them feeling sick, other passengers reported lack of oxygen.
Note that “lack of oxygen” from laymen would mean anything that would make it hard to breath, which excludes decrease of pressure.
Though:

The airline however suspected an acute outbreak of flu or food poisoning reporting a check of the aircraft had not found anything out of the ordinary.
Checking the aircraft and finding nothing is unfortunately very, very common in this kind of event.
They are most often reported in Germany, but that appears to be because the BFU is particularly active in trying to investigate these events. They rarely find the cause either.

Enter Fabio, looking hopeful and ready to take the first step in his career. Fabio is a robot, developed by Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, and specifically designed to be able to hold conversations with humans. The robot is connected to the Internet and any speech is processed elsewhere before a response is sent back, much like Siri or Alexa.
Apparently, people are quite suspicious of robots offering sausages, and he scared them away.
What was that saying again, wasn't it "beware of geeks bearing gifts"?
EDIT: Bonus for sensationalist title, the shop simply didn't want to continue the experiment because its ROI was somewhat low.

A state district judge in Comal County said God told him to intervene in jury deliberations to sway jurors to return a not guilty verdict in the trial of a Buda woman accused of trafficking a teen girl for sex.
Judge Jack Robison apologized to jurors for the interruption, but defended his actions by telling them “when God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it,” according to the Herald-Zeitung in New Braunfels.

City ombudsman Anne Mieke Zwaneveld told AD: “We realised that [they] do not want to create the appearance that there is ethnic profiling but the chances of this happening are very large.”
She said it would be very legally difficult to prove officers were justified in taking people’s coats in the middle of the street: “It is not forbidden to walk around in the street. In addition, it is often unclear how such a piece of clothing is paid and how old it is.”
Jair Schalkwijk,a spokesman for a national anti-profiling organisation Control Alt Delete, believes the policy is against a previous promise by police not to target people who look like “typical criminals”.
At least someone is reacting, if only verbally...

That guy is being a total asshat. She proposed a trade exchange. It is extremely common in media and advertising. The girl may be a cunt for other reasons, but all she did was propose a trade exchange and all he had to do was accept, counter the offer or decline. Instead he made a big media stunt about it.
Bearing even agreed with the douchenozzle and this is one of the few times I have disagreed with him. What she proposed was nothing unusual.
