Public Display of Anger

 

People watching must be one of my favorite past times. I usually can’t help but make up colorful stories about   the fabulous and mysterious lives of strangers. So the other day, while enjoying some gossip and post work relaxation with one of my closest friends, we spotted the cutest couple at the bar.

I began my story…
He seemed a perfect mix of handsome, intellect and charm. She seemed happy and they spoke closely as if they were sharing an important secret…

Back to reality…
As I began to concoct a funny secret for them to share, both my friend and I were shocked by his abrupt and explosive outburst. “Why would you ask her if everything is okay? She’s my woman… You should ask me!” the man screamed at the startled bartender. A verbal battle began to ensue and all while the man’s  girlfriend began to shrink into her chair obviously embarrassed. “ I just wanted to make sure her food was alright,” said the bartender. “Well you should have asked me!” he shouted back. Grabbing his girlfriends arm roughly he forced her to defend his outburst as well. “Am I right?” he said.

 Long story short the metro police came and forced her boyfriend to leave. But I will never forget that forlorn look on her face that screamed ‘not again.’

Actions like these are not uncommon in unhealthy relationships. Public Display of Anger is the new PDA to look out for. Set off by the tiniest thing, public anger and abuse can escalate unless something is done to combat it. In this instance the police got involved and escorted the man out of the restaurant, but there are many instances where people stand idle. What would you do if you found yourself a witness or even participant in a situation like this?

  2. I am not shocked about the new definition of PDA because nowadays, everything is being publicize. I can say that being in a bad relationship is not easy but learning from your past mistakes will make you a better person and even a stronger one.

  5. Anda yang memiliki toko online sebaiknya mulai memikirkan keuntungan menggunakan jasa pembuatan website toko online.Meskipun perlu mengeluarka dana untuk bisa memiliki website pribadi namun mendatangkan keuntungan yang lebih berlipat. Ketimbang hanya sekedar numpang di berbagai media sosial atau fasilitas beriklan di beberapa penyedia iklan maya. Sudah banyak pengusaha yang ingin mengembangkan bisnisnya dengan membuat sebuah halaman website yang mudah diakses oleh pelanggan.

    Bagi anda yang sudah memiliki pelanggan tetap dan ingin menekuni toko online yang dimiliki maka berikut informasi keuntungan penggunaan jasa pembuatan website :

    1. Memperluas cakupan wilayah promosi, sebab sudah memiliki toko resmi yang dikelola secara lebih profesional.
    2. Sebagai media yang menunjukkan anda sebagai pengusaha yang sudah profesional, sebab memiliki alamat website pribadi.
    3. Kemudahan berkomunikasi dengan pelanggan tanpa perlu terbentur toko online lain yang memiliki kepentingan sama.
    4. Lebih mudah mempromosikan produk yang dimiliki dengan pelanggan yang hafal alamat website anda.

    Bukankah akan lebih mudah mendapatkan kepercayaan pelanggan jika memiliki website sendiri sehingga akan banyak yang mempromosikan toko anda dari mulut ke mulut. Maupun dari kicauan akun media sosial yang mudah diketahui publik. Pada dasarnya investasi membeli website dari pihak jasa pembuatan website justru merupakan langkah yang tepat untuk menghemat pengeluaran dengan layanan hosting murah juga . Sekaligus tidak terlalu sibuk sebab bisa dikelola kapan saja, tertarik menggunakan jasa pembuatan website?

  12. The Algorithmic Enigma
    YouTube's algorithm, shrouded in complexity, is the gatekeeper of visibility. Its role in ascertaining what videos are suggested, and to whom, is central to the platform's functionality. Quality, relevance, and user engagement—these are the holy trinity that the YouTube deity thrives on. Views, the most rudimentary form of engagement, are often considered the currency. But the question is, can artificial views be misconstrued as genuine engagement, potentially misdirecting the divine algorithm?
