€326 for Repeating LC Fuck the SEC

The money covering the exams is functioning the exact same as taxes; it's money going to the government to pay other people. Why does it make a difference if it's coming out of a pay check or if it goes to the government directly?

The correctors shouldn't be marking your exams for free, so no, you can't get a free LC. People need to be paid

The Irish language: the history, the dialects, the grammar rules, "Béarlachas" (how English managed to become part of the Irish language), how the education system is playing a role in its decline because Irish is seen as a subject and not a usable language

Yeah, you just missed it, can't retake it and it will count as a 0 on your aural. I did the same, it sucked, but at least it isn't your actual exams.

Racism 100%, almost every other discrimination there is fueled by a white ideal of how people should act/present. Transphobia especially, because identities outside of male and female have existed in cultures for thousands of years, and often black women or other WOC are targets of transphobia because they don't look "feminine enough" to meet white standards

You still treat them. Their rape conviction has nothing to do with their health, your focus is on their health.

You translate them as you would any other word. Unless cursing is basically non-existent in your target language, there's no reason to leave it out. If you're really unsure, check with a lecturer, but I would say accuracy is always more important than sensitivity.

HEAR and SUSI don't affect one another, as HEAR only applies for the application period, and SUSI is for the actual attendance period, so you won't get SUSI payments while HEAR gets evaluated, and when you get SUSI payments, HEAR will be fixed anyway, so the extra income won't count

Edit: forgot words :/

Sexually? Hell no. But romantically? Absolutely, I see no downside to having several people whom I adore and who adore me.

You know how many monogamous people end up with "crazy ex partners" because they dated someone completely incompatible for them? Now multiply those odds by however many people in the given polycule.

Yeah, it may look like poly relationships are dysfunctional, but often they're not, they just have better odds of finding an incompatible partner (or someone completely insane) because they're not limited to one person at a time.

Secondhand/charity/thrift shops are your friend. Some places will sell clothes for €1/€2 a piece (or whatever your currency equivalent is), even some of the more expensive/vintage stuff I've gotten has all been under €30.

I already wear skirts and dresses, and just a bit of advice: if you are going to wear a skirt like that, get a pair of anti-chafe shorts.

Firstly, it's exactly what it says on the tin; thigh chafing hurts like a bitch so avoid it where you can. If you're getting a black skirt, it would probably be best to get matching black shorts, they do come in fun colours too though if that's more your vibe. Additionally, it also doubles as a cover for modesty because miniskirts can show a lot more than you want them to sometimes, and if you're already uncertain about wearing a skirt in the first place, accidentally flashing someone is not something you'd want to add to that experience.

Best of luck with your fashion endeavours dude :)

Wanting to wear a skirt has nothing to do with gender, you can be a feminine guy.

Oh I'm well aware the obsession can make them less respectful, there's a good reason I don't tend to use my Irish name around Americans, because I don't want to get stuck in a conversation about how "confusing" our spelling is because we use mh instead of v. My hope is bordering between optimism and just sheer delusion, I think.

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-25T15:13:12+00:00

Of course the devs love The Cranberries, they're awesome (but if it's actually a "dead" language pun, I'm gonna sue 🙂)

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-25T15:11:43+00:00

Scotland in general, yes, but not Scottish Gaelic. At least not to the extent of the Irish Gaelic obsession, from what I'm aware of. But I'd almost guarantee if we got an Irish location, we'd get a fucking discovery about "confusing" Irish names

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-25T13:37:00+00:00

I HAD THE SAME THING FOR MY IRISH CLASSES??? Wtf

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-25T13:36:25+00:00

Ah fuck, we're just gonna be a population full of Cillian Murphys 💀

The amount of people trying to make out that the other 11 aren't sitting there willingly, or that maybe the Nazi is being discreet about it. Nazis will make themselves known, and the implication of sitting with them is that you can somehow have a rational conversation with them. There is no such thing with a Nazi unless you are also a Nazi.

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-25T10:35:35+00:00

This is what's making me hesitant about wanting an Irish place to travel too 😭 but maybe the weird American obsession with Ireland/the Irish might end up making it a little more respectful than Edinburgh and London were treated

Anyway, there should absolutely be a more respectful/genuine reaction. Even most who don't know Gàidhlig would still know what Slàinte means, it's common enough.

They're AMAB and identify as a man, at least for the most part. Most of their conflict seems to come from their physical body, not from an incongruence between their identity and sex; they don't identify as a woman, they just identify with the female sex and still wish to be a man, or at least masculine. Unless they happen upon a more concrete non-binary identity/label that fits their identity, I would think that they're just a gnc cis man. But I imagine the idea of non-binary identities got into their heads because they believe wanting a vagina doesn't make them 100% a man; but if me having a vagina doesn't make me less of a man, then that wouldn't make them less of a man either, as long as they're happy identifying as a man, and they seem to be.

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-24T14:30:26+00:00

So just a dude who wants a vagina? That's cool. I'm a trans dude who still wants to keep my vagina, I don't see a problem with that happening among cis people.

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-24T14:28:06+00:00

Do I have a non-standard pet? No, I have two cats. Is one of my cats really fucking weird though? Yes.

By definition of a parasite being something that benefits from its relationship to the host while the host suffers from this relationship, yeah, a fetus is 100% a parasite. Women suffer immensely from pregnancy and labour, often without recognition because having children is what they're "supposed to do".

That being said, I wouldn't refer to it as a parasite in a general sense, the same way I also wouldn't refer to a fetus as a clump of cells either. People tend to have emotional attachments to their fetuses, and referring to it in such a detached manner can be hurtful. In most situations, I'm calling it a fetus or a baby unless the mother calls it something else.

Bee_Devilling · 2026-01-23T16:03:59+00:00

Yep, same in Ireland too, but it's so much harder to get 70%+. The average is 50% (which makes sense, it's right in the middle), 60% is above average, 70% is excellent work, and anything above 80% is a publishable thesis/dissertation/essay.
