not a dream, important, grooming tw

I am a fan of the Korean Englishman channel, I've watched it with my mom for years because we both got interested in Korean culture and especially cuisine and they made us want to try out a lot of different dishes that they showcased on their channel and because of them, we searched up different Korean chefs and channels to pick up recipes and learn how to cook, bake and prepare different meals.

With that out of the way and that being said, both of us have seen their videos with the boys from Fulham Boys High School, where they have the kids try out Korean cuisine. So, those kids are regular high schoolers, not celebrities, who have been thrust into fame due to appearing on the channel, who are minors, who have been doxed multiple times, who have been stalked, harassed, etc. because they became so popular.

So do tell me why one of them, who is a high schooler, is being accused of GROOMING his alleged THIRTY THREE YEAR OLD girlfriend, and not the other way around? Why did a YouTuber who takes unconfirmed rumors about Korean celebrities and shares them, who has a lot of followers and influence in Korea, pick up the story about a high schooler who came to visit Korea with his class and who is a non-celebrity, and exposed him to so much hate and vitriol?

Why are Korean reporters picking up the story, without proof or mentioning how wrong their age dynamic is, and repeating it, reporting on it, attacking him, saying he used a woman old enough to be his aunt or even mother for financial gain, when that older woman was messing with a kid? Why is no one calling out and attacking her?

Why did she come out with her whole chest, name and identity, like look at me, I am the woman scorned, woe is me, I am the victim of this high schooler who I was messing with, pity me, attack him please, he turned Tinder on when he went to Korea, and with full confidence decided to share the story of what allegedly transpired with them and people took her side? She's twice his age? He's still in high school?

I am so glad that the people behind the Korean Englishman channel stood behind the boy and are defending him, because so many people are attacking him and spreading falsehoods.

They released the following statement:

I don't know why this has to be said, but the boy in question is a non-celebrity who has been doxed by the media in a foreign country because one adult in her thirties got jealous for thinking he was allegedly talking to other girls (girls his age, mind you) and who was allegedly bribing him with presents to get his attention. Doesn't matter he started talking to her first, why are we victim blaming?

She's the one in the wrong in this situation, and it's horrifying that a YouTuber who has been sued multiple times for allegedly intentionally spreading misinformation for engagement that brings in the $$$ has also caused so much hate to be spread towards the boy, the other boys and the channel who brought to boys to Korea on a summer trip, by picking up the story and giving legitimacy to the real alleged GROOMER in the situation.

U.S. official says Russian missiles hit Poland, killing two -Associated Press

A senior U.S. intelligence official said Russian missiles crossed into Poland, killing two people, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

What is happening: A missile struck a farm in Poland and killed two Polish people. Allegedly, it was a Russian missile. (I’m saying “allegedly” here because there are investigations that need to happen first. There’s a lot of stuff being published very quickly online, and not all of it can be verified yet. There’s a lot of knee-jerk reactions and propaganda floating around. Be careful.)

What this means: We don’t know yet! The governments are meeting. “ Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called an urgent meeting of a government committee for national security and defense affairs, the government spokesman said on Twitter.” says the article linked above.

Does this mean NATO is joining the fight?: We don’t know yet! That’s what the meetings are for. They will determine if they are going to invoke Article 5 of the NATO treaty.

Does this mean World War III?: For everyone’s sake, I hope not. 

I’m going to keep an eye on the situation as much as I can. Good luck, be safe, and verify your sources!

COLD WEATHER TIPS FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES WHERE IT’S COLD:

I always see posts about layering clothing, but there are so many more creative ways to help keep you warm if you don’t have a lot of warm clothes. But first, a note on layering clothing:

-Your underlayer is your WICKING layer. That means it is a layer specifically to absorb the moisture your body produces. DO NOT USE COTTON AS A BOTTOM LAYER. Use merino wool if possible, but other good substitutions are nylon, polyester and rayon. 

-Your middle layer is for insulation. You want AIR POCKETS in there, NOT tight fitting clothes. This is where you want to put your fluffy sweaters, your fleece, down, fur, flannel, or vests. If you do not have these, you can substitute with multiple layers of long sleeve shirts.

-Your outer layer is for keeping the cold away from your body. If you do not have a jacket, you can put on your thickest piece of clothing and then a raincoat over it. Windbreaker if you have one. 

ALSO

-Jeans are the absolute worst at holding heat. Use only as a last resort. 

-You can’t really ever have too many layers on your feet. Alternate tucking your layers of pants into your layers of socks to keep your ankles warm!

-Wear a hat OVER a hood if it will fit! This will keep your ears warmest.

TAKE OFF/OUT ANY AND ALL JEWELERY/PIERCINGS

-If you have a medical bracelet, DO NOT REMOVE IT. If you can, tuck a layer of clothes between it and your skin.

NON-CLOTHING TIPS:

-Raid your recycling. Gather all cardboard boxes and break them down so that they are flat. Put them on the floor to add more layers between you and the cooling house. Newspaper will also serve the same purpose.

-In an emergency, you can also layer newspaper between clothing layers. Don’t worry about looking stupid if you’re staying warm.

-If you have a tent, set that sucker up in whatever room you have decided to stay in. Stay in it and keep it zipped shut as much as you can, but do NOT cover the vent at the top. You can put the rain fly up, but make sure there is circulating air for you to breathe.

-You are probably not going to feel very hungry at times. DO NOT STOP EATING OR DRINKING. Digestion produces a lot of body heat and the food will give your body energy to keep itself going.

-The best foods are heavy and full of carbs and proteins. Eat nuts, eggs, pasta, meats, and beans. If you are on a diet, now you’re not. If you’re vegetarian… bulk up on those pastas and nuts.

-Try not to sweat. If you are finding yourself getting damp, take off the outer layer just until you start to cool slightly. Then redress! Your bottom layer should dry quickly, and being wet is dangerous.

-On that note, STAY ACTIVE. You are probably going to want to hunker down and snuggle up, but that will make your muscles cramp. Every 15-20 minutes do something that gets you up and about. Walk circles in the room, do a couple jumping jacks, stretch, whatever. Just enough to move some blood around your body. Don’t get sweaty or out of breath, it’s just a little movement.

-CHAPSTICK. ON YOUR LIPS. ON YOUR NOSE. ON YOUR EARS. ON YOUR KNUCKLES. Don’t let your extremities get dry or cracked.

SIGNS OF HYPOTHERMIA:

-Uncontrollable shivering -Slurred speech -Confusion or memory loss -Dizziness or lack of coordination -Inability to be woken from sleep

CHILDREN AND INFANTS!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

-Children WILL get colder before you. Make sure they are properly bundled up.

-If you need to breastfeed, put a blanket over the both of you and wait a few minutes for the air to warm before removing or shifting your clothing.

-DO NOT COVER AN INFANTS FACE. ESPECIALLY WHEN SLEEPING. Keep them tucked inside your own clothes when possible. As close to your heart and stomach as possible. 

-Put chapstick on children’s cheeks and clean their face often if they are crying or wiping at their nose. This will prevent cracked skin and irritation.

-Make sure your children are staying as hydrated as you! They are going to fuss and not want to drink cold things, but they NEED liquids.

SIGNS OF HYPOTHERMIA IN INFANTS AND TODDLERS ARE DIFFERENT:

-Shortness of breath  -Cold, red skin -Lethargy or listlessness

Finally:

CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS. CHECK ON CHILDREN. CHECK ON THE ELDERLY. STAY SNUGGLED. STAY SAFE.
