@Birdlipper Land of my ancestors? I visited my family last week lol

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

I wanna add to this that even if it only represented ww1 soldiers, we have EVERY right to still be against it commemorating the soldiers who terrorised our ancestors during our war of independence (who were literally made up of ex ww1 soldiers)

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

The moment the poppy extended to commemorate all “fallen soldiers” (including the cold blooded murderers), this was inevitable and should be expected

I’ve never considered that other countries have a name that isn’t off license or offy

today i learned that not everyone refers to alcohol as “liquor.” in the states we have “liquor stores” but that’s not as universal as i thought it was. non-american oomfs what do you guys refer to stores that sell alcohol as?

Don’t tell anyone but I am the real Cillian Murphy

@sixucls You look old enough to not behave like a spoiled child…

I’m writing my masters dissertation on Irish soldiers serving the British army during ww1 and how they were viewed by the rest of the country. Essentially im arguing that it’s far more nuanced than they’ve historically been given credit for. I don’t personally have blame against individuals but I don’t like the remembrance poppy idea because I think it’s an excuse for people to pick and choose what they want to remember

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

@hvsperus If you’re replying to ME when I’m talking about what ww1 soldiers did to my ancestors, then yes I expect you to have a base understanding

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

@hvsperus Do you know what the Black and Tans and auxiliaries are ?

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

@HerRoyalHeinous @RobLooseCannon Why did you stop? If you don’t mind me asking

I’m writing my masters dissertation on this topic so it’s interesting to me to hear modern perspectives

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

I tended to have like 1 assignment due in November for each module then another the end of the semester so having 7 in the space of 5 weeks is insane to me 😭

I’m very jealous of my bf he’s in his final year of undergrad and has none due til the end of the semester but they all carry 100% of the grade for each module which seems quite scary to me

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

? I’m studying in the UK and I’ve just finished my 4th assignment. I’ve 7 in total due before the end of this month

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

Imagine being shocked that the SAS committed war crimes my god you people live under a fucking rock

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

“On Armistice Day?” YES let’s remember because isn’t the point to remember what British soldiers have done? Or do we just want to remember the stuff that doesn’t open uncomfortable conversations about their true nature?

New photos are 'essential evidence' of possible SAS war crimes, inquiry told https://t.co/tvJQkGHJTt

@BDTammie2024 @BBCWorld Call a spade a fucking spade

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

@digitalfire__ @synjinsui My school had this policy and I ended up missing my bus after school waiting in line to get it back, so that solution doesn’t work either. I ended up just keeping my phone switched off in my bag each day

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

@WirtzPropaganda I did my undergrad during covid and they eventually had to do away with group assignments because it was just impossible

And that’s because your ADHD isn’t overly disabling on your life. You do realise that similar to autism, ADHD can be a spectrum in the way in which it can affect a person’s life quality right? There’s many ways living with ADHD can incur significant financial consequences.

@mollym1m1 My bus commute was 90 minutes and there was one bus and it left the school less than a minute after the bell rang so if I was ever late I needed to ring a parent to come pick me up and notify them I was going to a friends house to wait there

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

@icod I don’t agree with kids being allowed to use phones in school but my issue as a kid was that my bus commute was almost 90 minutes and if I didn’t literally run out the school gate the moment the bell went, I’d miss the bus (only 1 bus btw) and need to ring a parent to pick me up

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

I’m not entirely against uniforms as a concept because I think they can teach a form of professionalism that is fundamental for entering the adult workforce, but the bullying argument makes no sense to me

[ًً🇮🇪 @sixucls]

My mam always bought my uniform a size big so it’d last me longer and I still got picked on for my jumper being huge on me. Also for not having new or expensive shoes etc. If kids are gonna bully, they will find a way to do it

[Joakim 🌹🇳🇴🇪🇺 @joakial_]

School uniforms have a major advantage: they help erase social class differences. This itself can be a good reason to implement them. Also, they don’t have to be formal and uncomfortable. It could simply be a hoodie. That’s what I support.
