In that case, you're going to have to endure children non-stop arriving at your doorstep consequence-free hoping to be the 30% of them you let come in.
Which I mean, good for the kids, but it's not sustainable.

I have a cousin whose daughter has manic episodes because she is bipolar and she has had the police called quite a few times on her already. She loves her child and tries to get her to take her medicine but is at her wits end on what else to do.
Just want to offer a different perspective and maybe offer some nuance. I guess the takeaway is don't take them to pools though.
To be fair, if some stranger took a cab to your house and asked to eat your food, would you pay for their cab fare back as well?
Obviously these are extenuating circumstances, and we should show more care towards refugees and especially more vulnerable classes, but to say it is their "job" is overselling their obligation.
She isn't responsible, and I hope that was clear in my original statement. What I'm saying is agreeing with the sentiment in the original post that rather than lending support to the problems faced back home, it might conversely make things worse.
It's not her prerogative at all, just a sad observation.
Yeah, while I am happy for her and wish nothing but the best for her, is this really going to change anything back home? How many other women have the means and training to do what she did? I guess the one thing this does is highlight to the rest of the world how terrible things are in Iran, but I'm under no illusion that this is going to improve the lot of oppressed women in Iran. They might be even more restricted from attending overseas competitions.
Your spoiler didn't work for me on kbin's main site - just a heads up. Maybe put the content warning at the start rather than after the spoiler? I'm not affected fortunately (though I am disgusted), but it might help others.
Good morning from Singapore :)
That's not what second-hand smoking is. Smoking around others will cause them to suffer the negative effects of the smoke as well. This is especially bad around children.
Also, the argument that "it hurts no one but themselves" is a really weird one. Does you not wish the best for your loved one? If you saw your daughter or husband or wife hurting themselves, would it be "controlling" for you to try to get them to stop doing it?
As someone who skews quite far left ideologically but believes that people on both sides have been painted into polarised caricatures in each others' minds by social media, I wholeheartedly agree.
On the other hand, what's the harm of a content warning? If you feel like you're okay clicking on something you've been warned about, you're not any worse off.
Number 4 also seems like basic etiquette to me. You can't always downvote and move on if someone decides to be a dick and hits home. Why blame the victim and not the perpetrator? There's no reason to be uncivil to begin with.
When presenting the information to your girlfriend, please be completely honest and make sure to also show the Important Note that the researchers put at the front.
Important note: smoking may offer a limited degree of protection in some individuals against the development of a small number of diseases, outlined below. However, this information is of little relevance to public health, given that the amount of disease that tobacco may be said to prevent is insignificant in comparison with the far greater incidence of disease caused by smoking. Tobacco products kill one in two of their long-term users.
Half of long-term smokers die to smoking. Even if you think you can quit, the point of this study is to show that even having looked for benefits, they could only find a negligible amount of benefits compared to the harms of smoking.
At some point when this attracts the attention of both extremists and Islamic countries, the government has to make a decision about the practical effects this may have on their citizenry.
I don't blame them at all for feeling like maybe they should bow out of an ideological battle they really don't have as much of a stake in, nor do I expect the majority of Danes to fight it for me.
