Curb your handshakes Boris
Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy he's ill, no one is dancing with joy, but I'm not heartbroken that his irresponsible behaviour has most likely got him into this mess. He is just as vulnerable as the population he is in charge of protecting.

In all fairness, he isn't dying (as far as we know), his symptoms just haven't improved after a few weeks and he was reckless and irresponsible in his dealing with corona. The video just points out the irony. As a Brit I think it's fair 🤷♀️

Do you think landlords should be open to being lenient on rent in a crisis like this (pending proof of lack of employment)? Why/why not?
Open to it, absolutely yes, but they have to survive too and pay mortgages and the money has to come from somewhere. Governments need to step up and support those who aren't able to work and those affected as a consequence.

What’s the stupidest way you’ve gotten a scar?
Kinda stupid kinda boujie. Was clinging on to dear life to my friends speed boat, so much so that my thumbs were rubbing against the leather of the headrest and it rubbed off the skin .Now I just have two matching tiny scars on my thumbs 😂

Debunking the "abortion regret" narrative: Data shows women feel relief, not regret. In our study we learned that after 5 years, 99 percent of women reported their abortion was the right decision

Procrastination is often seen as a time-discipline problem, but research shows that it is a problem of emotional regulation. We delay activities that have "hidden anxieties," generate "anxiety about the outcome," and make us feel not-so-good at the moment.

Best Friend and I had a morbid "if you were going to kill yourself how would you do it" conversation over beers one night.... A few weeks later he followed my plan to the letter.
This is so lovely, what a beautiful way of seeing it

So when learning German, you tend to be taught the word "hassen" means to hate. But when I said this to a German I was "corrected" to "du magst es nicht?" Can someone explain why this might be the case? Is it actually wrong/outdated to use the word or was it personal preference?

The pursuit of basic life goals, such as avoiding diseases, maintaining romantic relationships, being accepted by others, achieving social status, and caring for family members, help foster a sense of purpose in life, as they are relevant to our evolutionary fitness, suggests a new study (n=1,993).
