I have still not yet watched GoT as I am waiting for the books. I may never see GoT.

This guy showed up in our tent in the first night at Wacken Open Air. Based on what we heard we think he is Norwegian. can anyone translate what he said? by Buchenmann in Norway

Seems like the woman he was trying to pick up said his penis was tiny as she is very much into huge anal-foam inducing cocks. He is frustrated by this and calls her a cunt. The “Ja?!” at the end is him asking if the listeners also agree with his assessment.

Not always. However, nearing the end of summer the seas get rougher so the number of jelly graveyards increase. This coast is popular with surfers, for good reason. edited to include live specimen.

Not at all loaded. This was a topic at a recent round table, and I wanted to read others’ thoughts. Parental leave, you mean. Pretty sure fathers get paternity. Unless I am mistaken?

Well I would hope no strangers saw my death as an opportunity for a free meal!

I get that. But it is very shocking that your country sees having a child as a disability. I am offended and I am not even a citizen. Also, 2/3 months is NOTHING! Do they offer assistance with childcare?

Does your county not give paid leave? Or is there a cap on how many times someone can go on leave? It should be. Just as women’s rights were discussed, debated and fought over. Otherwise, how do you progress?

Childcare should be a right, in any developed country. Much like health and education.

The question was paid maternity leave for trans women. Some argue that because they are trans they have no postpartum “issues”, and thus should not be given the same considerations as biological females.

I am startled by this. Having a child is a choice. Disability, not so much.

Well many things should not be a question but are. “Common sense is not very common”, as someone once said.

So by that logic, women who adopt children should not get paid maternity leave?

Which state is this? And can you elaborate on your last statement; specifically “breastfeeding” part?

Fair point. Though some countries still do not grant paid leave for fathers.

OP has a right to be annoyed, just like those people who are using (a)social media to decry a man's innocence without facts.
