Sweden just kills it at every turn. If I ever return to live in Scandinavia, it will be Sweden.

Sounds like good news for those considering a boob job for whatever reason. Not really sure why all the snark. Should one watch the Janice Dickinson video if for example one is getting reconstructive surgery or is that for vanity reasons only?

Not a historian - but a major Roman geek (hence the avatar). A few fun (for me at least) facts:

No I didn't. I'm also not American. But many armies still don't allow women in combat positions, so you are leading them :-)

Im against the draft, but if it is in place then it should be males and females that get drafted of course.

Team Anne. The best I’ve felt in my life was while pregnant - at least up to week 35 or so.

Here’s to hoping the rest of the countries follow suit as well. I genuinely can’t believe how excellent militaries are at defending archaic, sexist bullshit.

I think he can appeal - but only on the grounds that he wasn’t given a fair trial, which as far as I understand, is not likely.

I’m really happy I’ve avoided all of that - I’ve only seen “fucking finally” on threads I’ve read.

Yes. Minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years - but the judges have some discretion, in particular in regards to the time he’s already served. Either way - good riddance, this was the right decision.

My biological father was extremely abusive towards my mom, and it took her a really long time to realise the extent of it. I think sometimes time gives you that perspective, especially if you’ve been “normalized” to certain behaviour. I hope he’s not doing this manipulation shit with your children - I was lucky that I…

Wow. What a piece of shit. It made me really happy to read that you left him. I hope you are ok now.

Well as long as you know where all the negativity is coming from and you don’t let it affect you. But still. Ridic. Ridiculous you have to deal with it at all.

OMG I miss Krav Maga. Of course there’s none of it here in Dubai because anything Israeli = evil, but it was so great!!! And also agree and am saddened by the rest fo your post. There’s so much judgment of parents and it really needs to end. Focus should be on the actual abusive parents, not people who like concerts…

Sorry I misunderstood! But yay for the 2 and what a perfect age gap you’ve achieved ;) It’s like the dream!

True. My kids are so lucky!

All I can say is that I really hope you’ve found happier employment where you don’t have to deal with crazies!

That’s where I am with that, too. I definitely think those tweets were dumb AF - but I’ve listened to him live twice in the last 7 months, and he is really smart, really engaging and only getting better and more aware.

Wow. You’re pleasant.

Nah, he’s pretty great ;) Not perfect - with room for improvement 100% - but give him time.
