Same. I lived in France briefly, and it’s like the American accent was some kind of homing beacon for shitty dudes, especially while crammed onto train platforms or cafes.

You. I like you. (And your username omg)

As an ex-pat to Sweden, I generally find the Swedes here to be cold and introverted. Never once been cat-called in the 5 years I’ve lived here, which is nice, but also the average person is allergic to saying a simple “excuse me,” so... I will say that they tend to have a much more...casual attitude about everything…

Oh wow! To be fair, most of our medical care is free (I had a baby here, everything was completely without cost, including pre- and post-natal appointments), but even our nominal fees are nothing compared to the US.

As an ex-pat to Sweden, can 100% confirm. My husband pays around 35% income tax, and we live about an hour from Göteborg in a reasonably sized city. Yes, our sales tax is a lot higher than the US, but there’s also very much a mindset here of a purchase is an important decision, and something that should last for…

Every time I see her face, I think, “Okay, that’s it, she can’t possibly get any cuter,” and then holy hell she does. She’s got one of those faces where she just...sparkles, y’know? Like her eyes are always smiling or something. IDK, I love her to bits and wish she’d taken over the Daily Show, etc.

I was SO hoping there would be this big reveal at the end of an episode after he gets released from jail where it’s shown that he really DID do it, but alas...

My dad always had a super poofy beard, except for the couple years he worked delivering hazardous chemicals—wouldn’t fit under a haz mask, so he shaved it off. I was so upset, he agreed to grow a ponytail as compensation.

My dad was literally Dan Conner. I was so lucky in so many ways. I mean, yeah, he’s kind of conservative, but he’s one of the most giving, gentle people I’ve ever met. He was also SO much fun growing up—he showed us how to make a slide on the stairs using our mattresses, and he and my mom would sometimes wake us all…

Man I miss Parks & Rec so freaking much it hurts. It’s one of those really rare shows where it actually made me a better person, if that makes sense.

No no, you’re fine! I know it’s a hard subject for some people, and Woody Allen in general is a whole kettle of bad feelings, so I just wanted to make sure you were legit okay—never know what’s gonna get dragged up in who. :)

I’d like to believe that even in the event that he walks, that this will follow him around for the rest of his life and make him miserable forever. I mean I realize that’s unlikely, given he’s a famous man, but one can hope, right?

Honestly that’s a distinct possibility too. As I’ve said, I don’t have a horse in this race, I Just think it’s weird how genetics manifest sometimes. Like, okay, my great-grandfather was black, yeah? My dad, however, is so blonde that it’s like...white-blonde. You’d never guess it to look at him that he has an African…

That’s totally fair (and accurate), I was just wondering why you jumped all over me instead of the other like 10+ people that commented something similar. I don’t have a horse in this race, other than genetics being a helluva thing.

You alright there, bb?

Honestly it’s not just the eye color, but similarities in bone structure and whatnot. As another commenter pointed out, I think at least Nancy Sinatra has kind of slyly done a wink-wink, say no more, acknowledgement of it.

ETA apparently Mia Farrow herself has said there’s a distinct possibility…

Soooo is Ronan Farrow ever going to acknowledge that ol’ Blue Eyes is clearly his dad, and not that misshapen lump of melted burger fat?

Honestly? Deadlocked is better than what I expected—I fully expected him to just walk.

Good for you, and nothing I’ve said is deserving of such garbage responses either. It is absolutely EXHAUSTING having to constantly explain myself, my culture, and why it deserves to be protected. Seriously, I am done with people who choose to be ignorant.

Have a sunny day, I am done with all of this.

You’re clearly trolling at this point, and I won’t participate. Have a sunny day.

I’m not 100% sure if you’re just dense or a troll, but I’m done trying to explain simple concepts to people who like to pretend to be so incredibly “woke”, but in reality continue to perpetuate ideas rooted in racism and stupidity.
