I do this too. I also fight furiously over the shared armrest on planes.

This was an excellent explanation. I vote for you as an expert witness for the prosecution!

How do you feel about Grimm's fairy tales and the stories of Hans Christian Andersen?

Absolutely. More evo psych Just So stories.

So...waffles compartmentalise things? I didn't know that. At least you and your husband weren't stuck for things to talk about over the meal!

Completely changing your diet to low carb, zero sugar also cures diabetes though.

Fuck it, I DELIVER CBT and I still feel the need to spell it out for people, lest they think it's the BDSM kind.

But at the same time as they take babies out in sub-zero temperatures, the baby needs to be completely concealed within a huge amount of clothes. And don't even get me started about how some Germans believe that draughts (drafts to Americans, possibly? air getting in that shouldn't be) cause all kinds of illnesses.

In Germany the kids travel to school by themselves from about the age of five. In cities, that can mean getting multiple underground trains, or moving from underground to tram to bus or whatever. I'm always so impressed when I see a tiny kid with a backpack that's bigger than her commuting with such a purposeful air.

I'd love to see the Abortion Support Network linked to on every Jezebel post about Ireland's abortion laws. They do such amazing work.

So many women. So many women left incontinent or paralysed because of a bullshit Church idea that C sections encouraged birth control use, and so should be avoided at all costs.

They won't, I'm seriously disappointed in Burton.

What about the international companies in the countries that you're interested in? Amazon, Microsoft, the international design companies? Find the expat forums for the cities/countries you're interested in - for example, in Germany you would go on to toytowngermany.com. Best of luck with your research!

I'm sorry, I genuinely thought you were ignorant and sought to educate you. I didn't detect anything funny in your post, so I missed that it was a joke. Never mind, carry on!

Well, that might be because they've been really uncommon for the past 30 years or so, and they were a thing in Northern Ireland, which is a different country. American Catholics provide the majority of the funding for Irish pro-life groups, which is why their ad campaigns are so slick. They even give away free ipads…

There are a number of contributing factors. The people in power are old white Catholic dudes, the majority of young people aged 20-35 have emigrated in the last few years, the majority of voters are old and conservative. Even so, over 80% of people think birth control, divorce, pre-marital sex, marriage equality and…

Asylum seekers can't travel outside the country where they are seeking asylum.

This is true, the majority of the funding for pro-life organisations in Ireland comes from the US.

Did you read it? She's a recent immigrant and doesn't have the right to travel.

True.
