I guess he was just tired of it all.
Retires from professional #football ⚽ at the age of 29 and then goes about his hikes and mountaineering and follow some direction in life method called 'Wim Hof Method' - whatever it is or means, glad he's happy.

Wonder what this technique is called in #Photography?
Guy posted in a Fuji group with 'Minimal detail photography'. But looking up 'Minimal detail photography' yields (of course) only 'Minimalist' results. Tagging the #Minimalism and #Minimalist people too. A repost would surely help 🙂

Good luck. I wonder how people with anxiety go through it.
In a place I used to work, a colleague's visa was rejected three times. Didn't come to office for a week after that. Poor guy. I've always wondered if it was because his surname was 'Majumdar' and some clerk decided to reject it because 'must be Muslim' when he was a Hindu.

He's one heck of a hypocrite and this 'announcement' is just to appease his masters in the Center and a fraction of the voters. His muscle men are all Muslims esp. in areas like Karinganj.

Some commentator. "I think releasing Julian Assange was a political move by the Biden administration. Three days before the debate? I think they knew Trump would going to use it as an issue."
