I want to agree with you but there are plenty of American products I simply cannot purchase here in Norway. Often there isn’t even an equivalent. I’m not saying what they make is good, but there are things made in USA. Walking in to a Norwegian grocery store the first 20 times had me like, ok but where is like the MAIN, BIG grocery store?

World’s (or at least, That Plane’s) Worst Dad

Thanks for nothing, Peter.

Are you sure because too many times I’ve been on a 2hr flight and there’s a line for the lav the entire time. It’s a mystery I will never understand.

A baby’s shitty diaper pales in comparison to the recently deceased evacuation of bowels of an adult human.

I used to work with a lady who, upon missing her shift, the next day the managers were all going around quietly telling staff that she died on her way to work, that she’d had a massive stroke while driving. New fear unlocked that day. But yeah I guess you don’t hear about it on the news because the may just assume car accident is what causes the fatalities.

Eras Tour, Vienna. So about… two years.

So, I’ll never get excited in advance ever again. Call me pathetic but it’s been months and I am still so upset it was just cancelled, erased, and forgotten about. I didn’t want to be greedy so I only planned for that show. I really wish I had been greedy.

Hands down my favorite part of interacting with multilingual/multicultural people.

My boss is Romanian, I’m american, we live in Norway, and speak English with one another at work (Norwegian to customers).

She uses the phrase “running around like a headless chicken” often and I’ll never tell her that I heard the longer “running around like a chicken with their head cut off” version of this, especially in the south, as a kid. I like hers more.

I am a US citizen but have been living abroad for the last 4.5 years. I can get by with Norwegian language but didn’t really feel hyper compelled to speak it all the time as English is spoken widely and well here. But especially since the inauguration it’s like, I don’t want strangers to realise that not only am I a foreigner, I’m an American. I try to be a good ambassador through my actions and words, but there’s only so much I can do to distance myself from broad brush strokes of “Americans” anymore and honestly is embarrassing. Also I feel deeply sad that I feel like I can never go home. That place just isn’t real anymore.

What shoe has these? I seek but I never find. Preferably that I can try on in Norway. So not Lems, unfortunately.

There is an amount of her assets and such that she couldn’t and shouldn’t be expected to give away. But she gave $1M to food pantries in each of the cities she toured the last 2 years and also gave millions in bonuses. And she probably didn’t feel any poorer. But I think because her dad was in finance and she started so young, many good business decisions were made so that her wealth just compounds no matter what she does.

It should be up to her and her team to allocate which charities and such she gives, sure.

But she’s an American billionaire, and is by design, not taxed as much as she should be, and that is the crux of the entire issue.

Chiming in to agree with you since for some reason you’re getting downvoted… no ethical billionaires. None.

I love Taylor Swift. A billionaire. She certainly gives a LOT back to others, the community ant large, etc. In many ways, I really believe we made the right person famous.

But there’s no justification for her to be a billionaire, she and all billionaires should be trying every day to lower their bottom line, not selling multiple copies of the same vinyl in different colors, as a small for instance.

One of the most stressful things about having kids is that it forces you to never un-know stuff like that.
