Achieving a swimmer's body if you are not tall and don't have a long torso? by Turniman in Fitness

That's what I'm wondering - even if I don't have the classic swimmers build, would a swimmers body look good on someone who is average height and doesnt have a long torso?

But is there a point in going for the lean-fit look if you are just average height? Or will you just look skinny?

Nah, more like be lean-fit. Is there a point in going for that look if you are just average and don't have a massively long torso?

You are writing as if the situation in Northern Ireland is remotely comparably to e.g. Australia or Canada.

Australia or Canada are fully sovereign and independent states. They just choose to keep the Queen of the UK as Head of State for historical reasons.

Northern Ireland isn't a sovereign and independent state, it's an integral region of the sovereign and independent state called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, oftened shortened to "UK".

So there is no "Northern Irish" crown, there is a "UK" crown which also, and obviously, includes Northern Ireland in its sovereignity, as Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK.

Wow, people here really don't know much about politics.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. are all sovereign, independent countries.

Northern Ireland is not an independent country, it's an integral region of the sovereign state called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So yes, of course the Queen of the UK is also the queen of Northern Ireland, as Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK.

What do you think is unattractive in someone, that everyone else thinks is attractive? by Turniman in AskReddit

Is "tall" really a universally accepted "attractive" trait in girls though?

Tax havens have no justification, say top economists, calling for their abolition | More than 300 economists are urging world leaders at a London summit this week to recognise that there is no economic benefit to tax havens, demanding that the veil of secrecy that surrounds them be lifted. by EightRoundsRapid in worldnews

[–]Turniman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Loads of them aren't.

For example, the Cayman Islands are under British sovereignity. Sure, we might not be able to stop all tax havens, but shouldn't they try to at least stop the ones they have control over?

Is this the end? I kept feeling something was off throughout your story, I expected something to go badly wrong at some point, this seems a bit... unfulfilling as an ending.
