Wow, congratulations! It´s such a good feeling to land a good job and finally know what kind of money you´ll be getting from week to week.

That is so cool. I know JRR had a thing for Iceland and the language (the language and culture of the dwarves is Iceland-inspired), but I had never heard that. Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, there´s this horrid idea that if you do well and work really hard, you will be rewarded for your effort, but the fact is, I think most people just take advantage of that these days.

It´s better to stand up for your rights and demand what is fair for you.

Foreign-born Icelander here. The law was changed in 1995 so that you can become a citizen and not have to change your name. The government makes an exception for you.

I am considering changing it anyway, though, because I think the Icelandicized version of my name is beautiful and will be a symbol of such a big change…

Yeah, I thought Pa Kent was the most egregious error of the whole film. Obviously, as a parent, you want to protect your child from harm, emotional and physical. But it was so arbitrary and shitty in the way it was handled.

I always hated this one, even (especially?) as a disabled person.

First, it´s shitty. It´s badly drawn.

I got stopped by the body language in the Brooks Family. Look at the other two girls - so dejected, so rounded. You can totally tell who mom´s favorite is.

Well, I suppose not. But I have sensitive skin in general and especially in the cha-cha region. It usually lets me know when I´ve not been taking care of things properly, including when I´ve used something too harsh.

Holy Jesus. 2 days to 7 days. That is a BIG change! ::crosses legs::

Thanks for sharing, though!

I thought you were being hyperbolic. Do women actually insert a bar of soap up there?

Totally. I was disappointed to find out they weren´t talking about this Fancy. (Although I love me some Reba rather than this nice lady.)

Oh, my god. That is awful. I´m so sorry you had to go through that.

I´m a teacher, and I pray I haven´t made the kind of assumptions the author´s teachers made, that I haven´t so completely misread one of my students and made them feel the way she felt.

Hmm. I guess it could depend on how upsetting the idea of public humiliation is to you. Which is totally understandable.

I get why you´re asking that, but it´s a question of apples to oranges for me.

Neither situation is in any way good, particularly if the STD you´re talking about is incurable, but what happened with this person who discovered her husband is a troll is deeply scary on a psychological level.

He has an extreme lack of…

I can´t either, but maybe he´s ... really, really good at hiding it? I have heard that the hardcore psychopath/narcissists make an art out of lying and hiding things...

Which makes this all actually a lot scarier if he is one of those...

I just don´t understand how a man who is clearly able to make be such a wonderful partner in real life cannot find the empathy to understand what he´s done — what if someone was treating his wife or his soon-to-be-daughter this way? Would that be all right?

That is amazing. I could sort of buy it in the other pictures here, but I´m getting serious lady camisole vibes from this one. I think because his posture makes his pecs look like actual boobs here.

Oh, wow. Good for you! That is a wonderful thing.
