Maybe if OP becomes disproportionally distraught it could be a good exercise, but then I guess my family will say I am disproportionally distraught 😁

I was never beat but I hate being late. I don’t have an issue with it at all, I’m just… not late, and I don’t see why I should practice being disrespectful with other people’s time.

Anyway, then I had kids and they’re alway always slow which makes me late for everything, so I guess that’s my punishment. I try to be zen about it.

Judging her for that is fine, not for her nude modeling.

Right, yes that was common, being named after the farm. Interesting family story 🙂

Though, being Danish, I have a national duty to say that Denmark didn’t conquer Norway, it was inherited by a king around 1400 and then developed into a full union in 15-something when the Swedes left the Kalmar Union. It was a dual monarchy, effectively one country, ruled from Copenhagen and standard Danish was no more forced on the Norwegians than it was forced on other Danes speaking a dialect of Danish.

The union was dissolved in 1814 when Napoleon (who was allied to Denmark), lost his wars and Norway was given to Sweden. After 100 years under Swedish rule, Norway was finally independent.

It’s been something of a national need in Norway to emphasize all the bad things under the dual monarchy, but in truth Norwegians and Danes were completely equal. Look up any major historical or cultural figure from the era and there’s a good chance he came from what is now Norway, most of the navy was Norwegian and so on. I understand the need to find someone to other so that the national identity grows stronger, but it’s a pity it’s become a narrative of Danish exploitation when that’s completely false.

I say equal, that goes for the political class and nobility, the peasants in both countries were of course almost completely powerless 😉

I can’t think of what Norwegian name it’s supposed to be a Danish pronunciation of, tbh. Severin?

Made me curious now, shame you’d have to dox yourself to tell me 😔

I imagine almost everyone who’s not American, like 95.5% of the world population.

Have a cup and live a little then

So many people on this thread are defending leashes, yet they don’t exist anywhere but in the US, so…

I have never ever seen a kid leash in Denmark or any country I have visited, and yet kids here don’t run around in stores acting out or disappearing.

I don’t know, they seem dehumanizing and humiliating to me. If other countries can raise kids (incl kids on the spectrum) without them why can’t the US?
