@opendoorforever I think a lot of this is cultural. An American wedding where everyone has 2 glasses of wine and goes home by 10PM and a European one where it's six drinks down before dessert is served are different environments for children.
@JordanbLee1389@BasedCubsFan@MatthewMKE98 Your group is pretty dangerous for you. Turkey should beat you, Australia and Paraguay are quite tough. Second is doable but if you came last I genuinely wouldn't be too surprised. A very interesting group to watch.
My wife was born in 1976. Ireland was not like this. Categorically.
I've lived in Ireland for almost 27 years. Ireland was not like this. Categorically.
Ireland is now like this. You can pinpoint where the shift occurred and what policies led to it. Categorically.
@dumbbbbbaby@thamosdeaf Granted we all get different TLs or whatever but I saw britain get a heatwave, the british bigged up their heat as different, American Twitter lost its collective mind at this for some reason and started bringing up heat deaths across the continent and then the obvious happened.
@dumbbbbbaby@thamosdeaf I really don't know what you guys expect to happen when you, rather incessantly, call an entire continent of people poor and every summer now, laugh at what is mainly the poorest and sickest dying of heat related causes.
"Haha you got us?"
@andreischwartz@UlickMcGee2024 This is a strange position to have in a nation that systematically executed hundreds of thousands of those bright and intelligent people towards a nation that never has.
@obakachantachi@thamosdeaf Like an american guy will make jokes about potatoes/drinking to me under the impression this is just friendly ribbing.
An englishman will say it with an air of genuine superiority over me as if it's 1850.
Not that either of these are common but it's interestingly distinctive.
@obakachantachi@thamosdeaf Which, to be very fair, after spending many summers and time abroad in the States, I don't think Americans are trying to be mean which is where I think that disconnect is from.
There's a distinct tonal delivery in American and UK jokes about ireland that I'd get, for example.
@strongchud@clockytgirl Are you eager to work with people who are barely literate?
The person approving this guy has to be near this moron for 8 odd hours a day.
@BenRamanauskas I like the implication that British people have that this is done out of charity.
What exact mechanism are we forcing you to defend Irish airspace through, in your mind? Guinness supplies?
