Joking is a way to cope, though.

I love my baby dearly and would never do anything to harm her. I still regularly joke with other parents about posting a “baby for sale” sign outside my house. It helps me deal with the lack of sleep, poopsplosions, and, more recently, nipple-bites.

Humour is a reasonably mature coping method, and thought crime should never be a thing.

That’s fair. Although, I don’t think getting laid necessarily makes people more empathetic either.

I don’t think reformed incels are particularly more likely to show empathy to anyone than your average non-incel.

Wasn’t he a republican? And also a convicted felon.

I don’t think he has anything to do with the old or new guard in the democratic party, it seems like you’re just trying to argue in bad faith.

The Finnish word you have is also just ‘shit’ and in no way equivalent to ‘cunt’. The word youre looking for is ‘vittu’, although it is usually (mis)translated as ‘fuck’. The common translation is likely due to the prevalence of use of both ‘fuck’ and ‘vittu’ and their similar severity rather than meaning.

There are sports where women have reached or surpassed men’s records, for example long-distance endurance races or some accuracy-based competitions. Anything where raw explosive strength or size isn’t the main deciding factor. There are examples in history where women have been banned from participating in specific sports because they have been able to win in competition with men.

I think, for the leagues you listed, size, strength and speed are often key, and as such most men have an advantage over most women. I don’t doubt there could be exceptions to that rule.

I swear I tested this a bunch, restarted the app several times, and it would not work. However, now that I started it again about 30 minutes later and tried to zoom, it works flawlessly.

I’ll edit the post to let people know it’s a user problem. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ah. Well, perhaps I ought to amend it to an average Northern European, then. There are definitely no true scorpions in the Nordics, although we probably have some tiny pseudoscorpids around somewhere. Although I’ve hiked all over Southern Spain and never spotted a scorpion there either.
…which probably says more about my perceptiveness or lack-there-of than anything else.

/edited for spelling

Huh. There being scorpions everywhere except the Arctic is such a wild statement to your average European. Never have I ever seen a scorpion outside a terrarium despite having traveled and hiked extensively in various countries around the continent.

Are they truly that common in the Americas, even in more temperate climates?

I would recommend soppa365.fi for your recipe needs. It compiles recipes in Finnish from several sources. You can usually find something that works with little to no adjustment.

No one.

Our one-year-old pup was genuinely upset about having to sleep in the same room as us on a weekend trip to the countryside.

At home he sleeps in the study and kicks up a fuss if anyone disturbs him by existing in ‘his’ room after 10 pm.

Another Finn here.

Crate-training itself is not illegal in Finland. There are, however, requirements for crate size and limits on how long a dog can be kept in a crate.

My one-year-old pup is crate trained and had enforced crated naps as a puppy. He is a very active breed that tends to have trouble managing their own excitement level, especially when young. These days the crate sits open and the pup elects to sleep in it most nights, and sometimes during the day if he wants to be left alone.

In addition, he has a collision-tested car crate that keeps him safe while traveling. He treats it like his puppy crate and just snoozes through most drives.

I don’t see an issue with crate training if it is done with the dog’s needs in mind. Crate is not a convenient storage to keep your pet in, and a dog should not be left crated for an entire work day. They need space and enrichment in their days to be happy and healthy.

I feel like, for many, the choice isn’t voting for Trump if they’re disillusioned with Biden, but just not voting for Biden. I’m aware the result of inaction is likely the same as voting for Trump, but cognitively it’s easier to stomach.
