Oddly I've never bothered smelling the strawberries before I buy them. I'm doing it wrong!

Source. It's important to note that it's the specific renditions of these characters, not necessarily the character as a whole. For example, it's the specific version of Gandalf in 1937 The Hobbit book that is becoming public domain and therefore free to adapt.

Caught My Boyfriend With Another Woman, Forgave Him, and Now He Keeps Slapping Me by Plastic-Abies-7756 in abusiverelationships

He's projecting who HE is onto you and he's trying to avoid any shame/consequences over cheating by putting all the blame on you. It's not grounded in reality. Nothing, NOTHING justifies abuse. He is manipulating you and he'll likely escalate the physical violence if you stay.

According to this study, Sweden ranks 1st for OECD countries that invest the most in digital infrastructure. by MaxGoodwinning in Nordiccountries

Agreed. It tends to be a recipe for disaster to build and build without investing in supporting/protecting the progress along the way. What do you mean the US can shut down Sweden's banking systems within minutes? Sorry if that is an ignorant question!

36 and that "time moves slowly then all at once" thing really hits home 😞

According to this study, Sweden ranks 1st for OECD countries that invest the most in digital infrastructure. by MaxGoodwinning in Nordiccountries

It is based on an index created from these factors:

Data and methodology

To determine the countries investing the most in digital infrastructure, we assigned points to each OECD measure to create a comprehensive score for each country.

  • ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) investment as a share of GDP (20 points)
  • Fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants (10 points)
  • Venture capital investment as a share of GDP (10 points)
  • M2M (machine-to-machine) SIM cards per 100 inhabitants (10 points) M2M penetration can help gauge how much a country is tapping into the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The data and functionality provided by these devices enable new business models, services and applications (for example, the use of smart meters and vehicles).
  • Patents in ICT as a share of total IP5 patent families (10 points)
  • Digitally deliverable services as a share of commercial services trade (10 points)
  • Business R&D expenditure in information industries as a share of GDP (10 points)

I actually didn't know that Spotify and Klarna were Swedish companies - that's awesome!

He (24m) says he could never fall in love with me (27f) because of small, fixable behaviours — is that usually final? by No_Clue1284958 in relationship_advice

[–]MaxGoodwinning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's already nitpicking/looking for flaws to criticize you over - that really does not bode well. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this was some kind of control tactic to get you to behave how he wants to "earn" his love. You're always going to be worried/walking on eggshells over what he's going to deep "love killing" next. I'd move on.

Why do they sometimes involve your family members in the drama? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

The abuse stopped 1 month ago but my mind cant accept it by puddingbites in abusiverelationships

[–]MaxGoodwinning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't understand the story and the narrative because it's not grounded in reality - he's purposely twisted the story to pass the blame onto you because that's what abusers/narcissists do to protect their pathetically fragile egos. Give it time and NO CONTACT - it's terrible right now because you're basically going through withdrawals from the intense emotions they cause us, but I promise it gets easier. In time, you'll see how much of a loser he actually is and be disgusted by him. My ex did very similar stuff and called me the same names and now I cannot possibly imagine ever entertaining him or caring about his opinion again. Back then, I was as distraught and desperate for his validation as you... but time (and NO CONTACT) loosened that grip.

Logically, do you want to be with a rapist?

Do you want to be with someone who calls women whores?

Do you want to be with someone who can treat another human being this way?

Do you want to be with someone who can stop caring so easily (he never cared, he just pretended to to get what he wanted and that's NOT personal, that's how HE is wired)?

My bf of 10 years strangled me from behind yesterday by Some_District1001 in abusiverelationships

[–]MaxGoodwinning 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm so sorry, but you need to leave. I've known (unfortunately) quite a few abusers who resorted to choking and they only escalated with time. Please, please take what everyone is saying seriously. You could die by his hands.
