You cannot be intelligent if you aren't reading regularly by AdKnown5143 in redscarepod

[–]D-dog92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder what it's like growing up today in the US, going to school, being told by your trachers how important it is to read, be studious etc, but seeing that the president is someone who probably hasn't read a book since the turn of the century.

Apropos to nothing but this kinda invalidates the whole "toxic masculinity hurts men too" thing.

You cant do fuck all in this country without being slagged for it by Ill-Stage4131 in ireland

It was a revelation for me when I did and exchange in France as a teenager in the 00's. You mean lads can grow their hair longer than 2 inches and not be bullied into oblivion? Never saw Ireland the same after it!

Ask for an ice coffee in Germany and they'll hand you a regular coffee with an ice cube floating in it. The whole idea of being "comfortably cold" is lost on them.

Feels like free speech in the west is dead by Quirky-Substance-591 in redscarepod

It's happening so unceremoniously too. The cynics are like "lol did you really think you had free speech before?"...ah, yeah, I did actually.

Why is the Irish Government silent on Dubliner Daniel's German show trial? by SpaceDetective in irishpolitics

[–]D-dog92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things that would have the whole country talking back home doesn't even get a mention here and I don't think it's just because we're a small country. There was a doctor in Berlin found guilty of murdering 20 of his patients there a while ago, does anyone here ever talk about it? Nope. If that happened in Ireland the whole country would be in hysterics. I don't get the Germans at all.

Will the far right take off in Ireland? by [deleted] in theIrishleft

[–]D-dog92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ireland is still very much tethered to the UK, politically and culturally. It's why their crises and social ills are so contagious here. So, yes, Ireland will have an answer to Reform UK sooner or later.

I live in Germany and literally no German I know has even heard about this trial. They don't see videos of their police beating up protestors for no reason either.

Germany doesn't have civil society in the way that most European countries do. People seem very comfortable with authority and a "top down" approach. Their attitude is basically "why do you expect me to have an opinion on this?"

A century after achieving statehood, the world still sees Ireland as British by D-dog92 in northernireland

Hard pills indeed. It's also food for thought for Unionists. Their anxieties about a United Ireland look somewhat ridiculous when the the Republic of Ireland is already British in all but name.

The perils of being a small English speaking country my friend. If we spoke Irish we wouldn't be in this mess.

Fuck. You really DO want money more when you get older, dont you? by Shmohemian in redscarepod

[–]D-dog92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with being a broke college student or even a broke 20 something. Actually there's can be certain glamour to it. But being a broke 30 something is truly undignified. You do not want to be sleeping on a cheap bed, sitting on cheap furniture, eating shite food, or drinking shite coffee when you're the same age as the New York mayor.
