From the former USSR to North Korea, from former Yugoslavia to modern-day Venezuela, all countries that have experienced communism have mayonnaise salads as an important dish, including for holiday meals. A clear pattern seems to immerge.

Some people in other countries, such as the Anglo-Saxon world, do like this dish, but it is never universally liked, to the point of being an important holiday dish, outside of places that experienced communism.

I would like to know the history of this and how mayonnaise became so important across different cultures and continents, that seemingly have only one thing in common.

Out of pure curiosity, why would a landlord keep the water bill in their name, and also keep receiving some of their mail at a rental property? It has been at least a decade since the landlord last lived here, and numerous tenants were here in the past. The landlord has the water bill in their name and texts us when it is due. It is almost as if they want to show that they are living here in some aspect of their life.

I am looking for a minimalist style that allows for feeling the ground and articulating the feet, but I don't like the look of the super wide toe boxes of the barefoot brands. I am looking for a slim, narrow fit with a very flexible sole. I like Puma Star Vital, but I am not into the colours that are currently available. I would like plain black or plain white.

Trying to anonymize myself a little here.

I participate in a group sport a few nights a week. A new guy came for the first time two weeks ago. He was very outgoing, shook hands with everyone and introduced himself, and asked for our numbers, saying he was going to text us with information about an interesting event related to the sport. My guard was down as I have been playing with the group for a few years and consider all of us, men and women, to be friendly acquaintances, so I gave him my number, even though I would normally never give my number to a man I am not interested in.

The next day, I was surprised that he showed up at our practice at a different location, saying that someone in the group had told him about it. He was playing in a more competitive way than the rest of us, as if he were showing off, and we had to be careful to get out of his way for safety multiple times. He bragged a lot, to me and to other girls, and said he is a former professional player, plus has a high-profile career. He wore an excessive amount of cologne both nights.

He told me that he heard about our group from one of his staff members at work, and that he had been training with a certain guy who I know for a fact has been off for months due to an injury. This raised some alarm bells for me, seeming like it might be a lie.

The next day, I received a Whats App message from this guy asking what I was doing that evening. I did not reply, as he had showed some some red flags the evening before, and I had not given him my number for texting each other back and forth or dating, but because he had specifically said it would be for him to text me about a particular event. Three hours later, it still being the middle of the day while I was working, I received another text from him on my phone messaging app, asking me why I had not replied to him on Whats App. I know he also texted one other girl the day before.

He is giving me bad vibes, and I feel like I don't want to see him, and that he has changed the friendly and comfortable atmosphere we had before his arrival.
