Who'd have thought that an Archaeology dad-joke would be the thing to make me snort-laugh today.

Well done. And thanks.

It's never a bad idea to learn another language.

It's never a bad idea to learn. period...full stop.

The act of learning anything wires our brains in a thousand different ways; increases our critical thinking skills. Increases our verbosity and our ability to communicate our own ideas more effectively. It increases problem solving skills, etc...

The very act of learning is something that should be practiced every day with something, whether that's a new language, or a hobby, or being a history buff...it doesn't matter. What matters is the learning itself.

So if Russian is what is giving you that interest right now, do it. At the very least, chicks dig polyglots.

Everything this idiot says tends to be the opposite. And frankly, I can see it.

The Europe I see (as a Canadian, with immigrant parents from Portugal) is the same Europe I've always seen; It has it's share of problems, sure. But for the most part, they're older, with a lot more history to draw from, and as a result are just more level headed than the idiot teenagers revving their engine and trying to pick bar fights that is America.

Europe as a continent has been through enough shit that they've kind of, as a culture, learned to say "woah...okay...let's take a step back and look at this a bit before deciding to be an asshole." Canada kind of inherited some of that by virtue of sticking in the commonwealth longer and having a peaceful transition to independence instead of kicking our feet and threatening to move out at 16 like some bratty teenage countries did.

(Apropos of nothing, I also think that this is sort of the problem with a lot of Eastern Bloc countries. With the fall of the Soviet Union, a lot of them (Russia Included) were kicked out on their own all of a sudden and are essentially entering the teenage years of their independence)

Does that mean Europe is perfect? No...of course not. Far from it.

But they're a hell of a lot more put together and strong than the U.S. is at the moment.

Trump is projecting, as usual.

I'm talking about when I was a teenager. Neither iPhone nor android was a thing. I'm talking dumb phones

Clearly hubby got caught with a side-piece in the nest when mom came home early.

Since she had been identified as under 16, they feared “her friends will keep using Snapchat to talk and organise social events and she will be left out”.

FFS, we all got along just fine and dandy with group-chats via text message. We weren't fucking cavemen.

The fact that this is her fear (and the fact that it's a legitimate fear) proves just how much controls like this are needed. It's literally digital crack that they think there's simply no other way to communicate anymore (both her and her friends)

Whatever someone wants to do with their body is up to them (within legal limits)

To the people who say "she's selling her body", I say this:

So are you. So am I. So is everybody. A miner or oil rigger is selling their body to be used as labour for 10 hours a day.

An accountant is selling their body to sit at a desk and crunch numbers for ten hours a day.

We're all selling our bodies to corporations every day in exchange for a paycheque. If a person is comfortable using nudity for it, more power to 'em.

I honestly can't think of anything less appealing than dealing with other people forever.
