I’ve shared this with my friend and neighbour who is an educator, and parent.

My former sister-in-law constantly vaguebooks. A few days ago, she just posted 6 anger emojis. Nothing else, just the emojis. She’s had a number of “Why do I even bother?” and “I’m done” and “Well I guess I’m just awful then” posts over the years. Even her own daughter has stopped responding to these.

So I guess when you’re depressed, your status is supposed to pretend otherwise? One more reason to be glad I’m not on Facebook I guess.

That could help explain why Scandi/Nordic types live so long.

Possibly, but quality and availability of healthcare should also be considered. Among advanced countries, Japan and South Korea have the world’s highest average life expectancy, greater than that of Scandinavian countries, and all have world class healthcare systems (much, much better than the US). Then there’s diet and lifestyle. And climate? Note (in this “single-point” contribution) that the high/low temperature ranges of NYC and Japan are very similar (with NYC being a little colder in the Winter), yet NYC’s average life expectancy is 5 years lower than Japan’s; obviously, a lot of factors to take into account there.

You’d think the saunas would balance that out.

Just got around to watching this one.
Loved how he was going house to house, being offered brown bread and tae, plenty of chat, getting the scéal, leaving with half a deer.

There’s nothing like walking up to a place for the first time and immediately be greeted by a friendly dog.

That’s how I ended up in a former tobacco drying barn in Conestoga, Pennsylvania, looking at a wagon – only a few days after I test drove a Tesla Cybertruck, its modern electric descendant
And that’s where I quit reading.

Same.
I do know that they drive on the left in Iceland b/c ladies riding sidesaddle back in the day. Horses were used there for everyday travel much longer than most countries did. [Ed. Note: Right-side sidesaddles are uncommon AF, and all of them are special orders/bespoke. Everything re: riding horses is done on the left b/c swords are worn on the left. Can’t mount from the right side w/a sword in yr way.]
They drive on the left in Jamaica, and most cars are right-hand drive, which can take some getting used to, and may mash up yu head. A couple weeks after returning home from a long vacation there, mom went to the passenger’s side 'steada the driver’s side of our car. We had a jolly good laugh about that.

For a year or so, I was traveling a lot for work between countries that drove on the left and the right. The best advice I heard to keep my head together was “keep the passenger closer to the sidewalk (or ditch) than you are.”
