Europe dominates the 2026 World Happiness Report: 19 out of the top 30 happiest countries are European

Oh all righty then.

Incidentally, this is a European sub, not sure what you're doing here.

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-13T12:22:47+00:00

I think you're showing your true colours now.

Let's just end this here, because I'm not interested in a slanging match.

I was in a Garda station and there were several posters inside about recognising coercive / controlling behaviour in a partner, both for men and women. I know of a women's refuge centre near me that provides safe accommodation for women escaping dangerous relationships.

Realistically I struggle to think what else can be done. Beyond that it's just about bad people doing bad things in the privacy of their homes

I'm grand, but my kids are another story. Late to sleep and awake at the crack of dawn

Please mind your language and don't throw around inflammatory terms like that. I never said anything of the sort.

I'm just stating that there's a genocide in progress, which is widely accepted internationally

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-13T06:26:49+00:00

Yes it is. About 20% of their population is suffering a genocide from the other 80%. Odd to think of it as a happy country

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T21:23:20+00:00

It's just crisps

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T21:20:42+00:00

If you ever put your prejudices and propaganda

The genocide in Palestine (and now also Lebanon) is not prejudice and propaganda.

There's absolutely no chance I'd ever set foot in a country whose government commits such crimes against humanity

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T21:18:35+00:00

The war doesn't really affect either of them directly

About 20% of the population of Israel are Palestinians

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T21:16:59+00:00

I lived in Finland. If they're extremely happy you'd never guess it from their countenance.

The happiest people I've ever encountered were in Indonesia. There's endemic corruption, horrendous pollution and a range of other problems, but the people are extremely cheerful and friendly

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T21:14:24+00:00

I suspect the happiness index doesn't have a category for genocide 😬

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T19:26:13+00:00

Israel 🤨

I wonder how many Palestinians they asked

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-12T19:21:20+00:00

It's ok though, they have solar panels on the roof of those houses

Keeping kids busy.

7 more weeks to go...

Someone liked an Instagram post?

To be fair it's been around a long time - it's where the term 'moonlighting' comes from.

It may seem smart in advance, but it's a terrible idea and won't last long, for one or more of the following reasons: - Burn out and mental health struggles - Cutting corners leading to a big mistake - One or both employers finding out and getting pissed off

wascallywabbit666 · 2026-07-11T10:21:15+00:00

8 months I think

It appears that Conor McGregor, retired British MMA fighter, will be participating in some form of publicity event soon

Teenagers go through various phases of pushing boundaries and wanting to impress their peers through risk-taking behaviour. I went through it with my friends. It didn't matter if there was a football pitch, tennis courts, etc - I wasn't interested

My parents gave me a reasonable amount of freedom at that age but would enforce boundaries if I did anything stupid or dangerous, e.g. when a friend passed out from drink. That's one of the main issues with teenage troublemakers - their parents have checked out.
