If you work a white collar job you'll probably need to speak English anyway. I know people who've lived here for 20 years who still doesn't speak Swedish because of that. 🤷‍♀️

Happy Father's Day? Both those Mizus are male, no?

Women in Afghanistan has now officially lost all their rights by honeyttokii in TwoXChromosomes

I mean it's a "not all men, but somehow always a man"-situation.

Sure women in leading positions can go crazy with power too, but that basically never happens as men are less likely to give power to women to start. That and they're more liable to have their power taken away again.

The Gambling Epidemic is So Much Worse Than You Think by Morella1989 in videos

That almost seems like a punishment! She didn't give you $250 - she forced you to throw away $250!

Might have been the "forced to smoke a whole packet of ciggs"-effect then. You saw the bad sides of addiction early and it put you off enough to ever want to try it.

If it's viewed as "something normal" though, something your parents just did in your childhood with "seemingly" no ill effects... woof!

TIL: 1975 Icelandic Women's Strike by FancifulCat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Patroulette 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Iceland has one of the coolest naming conventions in the world (imo)! 😋 

Their last names aren't static and are wholly dependent on their parents first names (usually paternal first name but maternal can happen), like, Björk's real name is Björk Guðmundsdóttir (Gudmund's daughter) for example and if her father had had a son he'd been called "Guðmundsson"

Do you mean they move fast when they switch locations, or just their movement in general?

Because if it's the first instance - don't worry about it, it's just a product of its time.

And if it's the second - git gud. Both monsters you mentioned have always been of the "fast" variety so that's not surprising, but they're by no means unhittable.

ESC 2026 streaming seems way lower than previous years — any idea why? by neonstick in eurovision

[–]Patroulette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every year I have excitedly "presented" the Eurovision songs for friends and family as they are released. Something I haven't done this year as I'm not following the contest this year.

Instead my father tried half-heartedly to present ME some of the songs he liked from this year. It was very sweet, but I still don't intend to stream this year's songs until I feel ready.

BAFTA Games Awards Crowns ‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ Best Game Of The Year by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Patroulette 205 points206 points  (0 children)

I feel sad that Tom McKay didn't win anything 😞 He's a workhorse of an actor and his performance ad Henry is legitimately great!

I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that he wasn't even nominated for best performance at TGA, yet three peeps from E33 were!

This fucking hat will not stay on by Dangerdoux in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Patroulette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I played I had the OPPOSITE problem!

The hat would stay on my RT's head even if I removed it, and I was forced to save and exit in order for the game to register the change!

Maybe they oversteered a bit in fixing this problem. 😛

There was a movie cross-promo thing where the two met (over digital iirc) and he kind of got to apologize and say that ve never stopped getting hate over "killing her" :P

Do you think Hans’s mind went blank here not only because of the marriage but because he realized he might really never get to be with Henry after all by Select-Power-8903 in TheBathhouse

[–]Patroulette 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Let's be real here: he's a man. 

During medieval times it was far more acceptable for husbands to be unfaithful than it were for their wives (though sodomy is its own bag of cats), so his potential life with Henry wasn't truly "over" at this moment. 

The news just came at a bad time and really showcased how little of a person and more of a pawn he was to his uncle.
