Oh god my eyeeeeeees. And one brain cell is really hurting right now. You poor thing.

I don’t have any constructive advice - because frankly I’m often there my self (starting a company in the Middle East is reaaaaaally practically asking for it) - but hang in there!!!! Your achievements DO add up, it just sadly can take longer for them to be appreciated. But it does not mean they dont matter!!!

Can you guys believe this is actually happening in 2015? That we have prestigious business clubs all over the world that are reserved for men only. Or elite schools like Eaton, all while we have to explain to idiots that male privilege exists, that humanisms is not a more inclusive form of feminism, that the gender…

I don’t think they’d want it :D :D :D

Yes, I know she did. But she’s also not under some specific obligation to work with Oxfam. Either way, the whole thing did make me feel very uncomfortable and look at her in a different light.

Did I say that I considered stabbings by Palestinians legal? I don’t think so.

Palestinian can freely cross over into Israel? Seriously? What cool aid are you drinking?

I haven’t read the book - but the Guardian told me it’s a story about a girl who looks like Johansson. Either way, the court sided with the author apart from one paragraph that was then deleted. :)

Well, that’s not necessarily a hard thing to do ;)

Huh? The book is about a girl who looks like Scarlett Johansson - not actually about Scarlet Johansson.

No, I disagree. He wrote a fictional book about a character who looked like her and the impact that had on her life. And the court agreed that Johansson’s claim was without merit.

Well, not really confused as such. I disagree with her decision to do it because even if Sodastream DOES pay it’s employees “good” wages, it is still on occupied land and thus contributes to the illegal actions of Israel. But that said, it’s not like you can go after every actor you disagree with politically.

Yes Churchill said lots of smart things - but also some incredibly stupid ones :-p and also, have we tried the whole philosophers kings/queens yet? No. We should. I think.

But she never made it as far as CBP :-P

Let’s hope they will follow through. My worry is that the poachers will still find a way. It is such a lucrative trade and they are incredibly sophisticated and brutal. I remember when I was in the Kruger park the Rangers told us that poachers would fly in with helicopters and machine guns. Unfortunately the…

You think she induced her own birth? That would be mental.

I don't think the US does though? I worked with immigration for a while and that was never an issue. But who knows what the whole deal is here...

I said that mostly as a joke because I remember sometime ago when a baby born on a plane got that. And always wished it was me :-P

This is stupid. She obviously didn't plan to go into labour while on the plane and many airlines let you fly at max 36 weeks and not 32. The airline is just pissed about the costs but needs to suck it up and give that kid already free air travel for life or something.

It depends how good the dictatorship is at media control and delivering on promises. Think Singapore - a benevolent dictatorship of sorts that works because of the government’s competency
