OK, European here, but isn’t it true that dialects (of whatever “type”) are not appropriate in a professional setting? Granted, pretty much the only dialects that exist in my country are regional since we are all the same race anyway (we have immigrants from the Balkan wars, who often speak their mother tongue at…

My personal experience: currently on one year paid maternity leave (love my country ;) ) with 2nd child (4 weeks old tomorrow). My husband works (is not on paternity leave, though he was the 1st week) + takes care of chickens, rabbits, two goats, vegetable garden and does the dishes. These are his regular tasks. For…

I’m sorry it was that bad for you. It definitely was uncomfortable for me, too, but maybe not to that extent. I was talking more about post-pregnancy, that the body recovers unbelievably. I hope it did for you, too.

Don’t worry, it’s not as terrible as it looks. I bounced back in a couple of months. I do advise, however, not to gain too much weight and to be as active as possible - you don’t need crossfit, just a brisk daily walk for half an hour, if possible partly uphill. Makes it easier to carry and more likely to have no…

This should get more stars. Marching and protesting WILL NOT help, in fact in may harm. When the left does that these people feel even more afraid, threatened, misunderstood, unimportant, unheard and irrelevant. Don’t make fun of them, don’t push them away, don’t call them ignorant/racist/xenophobic etc. None of that…

Slovenia is most often considered central Europe. Mostly because it shared a much longer history with the Austro-Hungarian empire than it did with Yugoslavia and is culturally closer to the Central European sphere than the Balkans. Slovenes had their first state in the 7th century. The 70 years we spent in Yugoslavia…

Thank you.

Yeah, I was surprised, too. I know Jezebel hates her, but I hate her, too, and I thought she looked lovely. Much better than Michelle, too, at least here (blasphemy, I know).

But the majority of Germans did not think like that, obviously. This is what happens when the elite (of whatever kind, not at all always connected with money, might be education or whatever) forgets about the masses or disregards their belief system.

For what it’s worth ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, so it’s not just the Turkish authorities saying it’s terrorism.

Maybe because three people were wounded but are all going to be all right here; in Berlin nine have died so far and 50 are wounded, so the death toll might rise even higher. Should the media also give equal coverage to my friend’s dad who was in a car crash on Monday and is badly injured?

But truly, isn’t Santa Claus St. Nicholas? As such he was born in what’s now Turkey, so he should look something like that, right? I’m really asking, I come from a country that celebrates St. Nicholas, on December 6th, so I’m not sure how far removed from that is your Santa Claus, I just know the name has the same…

I live in a subtropical region where Zika could potentially spread eventually; I’m also currently pregnant and very happy that this is my last (planned) child. On the other hand, my children might want children someday so... fuck this.

In a foreign language?

How very surprising. Not.

That’s interesting; where I come from you always know your confessor very well, unless you go to another parish on purpose to be able to confess to a person you don’t know.

This article is unworthy of Jezebel. If a woman aborts and feels no need to seek forgiveness for it, then more power to her. If a woman aborts and is wracked with guilt, the Pope gave her the possibility to get external forgiveness that might give her peace and help her to forgive herself. What does this have to do…

Not to be that person, but not all mammals menstruate. Only primates, some simians and a species of bat or something like that actually menstruate.

My point exactly and why I have never been to a gym from the time I’ve left school and never intend to return. Am active, am fit, am thin but I’m not going anywhere near those places, the irony is just too much.

I’m actually at my heaviest about now, as well as in January. I always gain weight during the summer, and I lose it during the spring, so I’m at my lightest in March and April. I don’t do it by conscious effort, either, it’s just how my body reacts to the shortening and lengthening of the day and the foods that are in…
