Not really true.. no other breed can come to Iceland, but its true that also icelandic horses cant return if theyve been abroad. But they can and do export them.

Americans Are Sharing Their Parental Leave Stories That Show How Absurd The System Is (30 Answers)

Iceland just increased its' parental leave to 12 months at 80% pay. It's split pretty evenly between the two parents, in some circumstances one parent car have more time or even all the time. But in general fathers are expected to stay home for 4-5 months+

Unfortunately not true. The versions that we do understand have been edited, and also have translations/explanations for some of the words in the footnotes. I have seen some of the original sagas and I could barely make out any of the words

Iceland. GP visit is just under $4, free for kids, the elderly and people on disability. Phone calls and online messages to the doc are free. FAR from a perfect system, but at least its accessible to all.

Disney+ Launched In Iceland Without Icelandic Dubbing, People Didn’t Like It So Much That Their Minister Sent A Letter To Disney About It

And I am pissed as a swedish speaking Finn, that there are many films that are only available in finnish, when obviously Disney has everything in Swedish as well - Swedish being an official language here.

30 Unnecessarily Ableist Things Students Saw Teachers Do, As Shared By Twitter

At age 6 I was afraid of being underwater and would refuse to put my head in the water in swimming pools etc. The swim teacher at my school first mocked me for this, then tried to "fix" it by putting her foot on my head and literally keeping me fully underwater like that. I have no idea how long, and dont actually remember this, but I do remember the therapy sessions that followed.. Im now 35 and still panic when water hits my face.

Im icelandic, plenty of people here do this everyday. They sometimes have a special stroller on the balcony only for the baby's daytime naps. There have been zero kidnappings or anything happening to the babies.

Hey Pandas, Can You Share Your State's Or City's "Odd" Or "Strange" Covid Safety Rules? (Closed)

If you have ANY symptoms, youre not allowed to see the doctor without getting a covid test first. There was a rule where only 10 people were allowed in stores other than grocery stores. In the malls, outside the stores, it was crowded. And that was allowed. Now the max number has been changed according to store size. When you arrive at the airport, you have to have a covid test. Youre in quarantine until you get negative results, but you still gotta get to your hotel/home/whatever. Youre not allowed to take the bus and no one is allowed to pick you up in their car, but you can take a taxi. Because.. taxi drivers are immune?

Disney+ Launched In Iceland Without Icelandic Dubbing, People Didn’t Like It So Much That Their Minister Sent A Letter To Disney About It

As an icelander I can confirm that most kids dont understand english well enough to watch movies only in english. Also older people can be quite bad at english. Is it possible you only talked to people ages 18-55, most of whom were in the tourist business?

Disney+ Launched In Iceland Without Icelandic Dubbing, People Didn’t Like It So Much That Their Minister Sent A Letter To Disney About It

While its true that most of us speak english fairly well, we need the dubbing for kids. I have two 7 year olds who dont understand enough english yet and they cant read fast enough to catch the subtitles. Also basically all kids' dvds etc released in iceland come with optional dubbing, so its not like the tracks dont already exist.

Intersex is as common as having red hair. Still, we do not consider redheads an anomaly. Its a different sex, just like hair comes in more than 2 colors.

Look up 'othering' and hopefully you will understand why.
