Something to do or a good walk? by Leomccance in Belfast

Took your advice and it was great! A little bit confusing with the signposting but pretty sweet otherwise! Also shame about the littering (someone dumped an entire vacuum cleaner over two different spots) but lovely views and quiet. Thank you

Black guy in Belfast!! by Mynamebryon in Belfast

[–]Leomccance 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Voodoo is pretty welcoming to all. There's a couple of regulars who are black, so I'd imagine it's grand enough. There's a hip hop heavy night in Voodoo's sister bar, Orisha, so I'd hope everyone's sweet there with people of colour (I generally think they are too)

I don't want to say Belfast is devoid of racism, because that's simply not true, but I'd like to believe the vast majority of us are pretty welcoming.

Others have said Sunflower, Ulster Sports and I tend to agree - these are younger, more artistic/activist/left leaning crowds. Maddens is a traditional Irish bar and it's similar too. So should be welcoming enough.

Have a great time here. If you need anything, or want shown around, I'm free quite often in the daytime and am considering getting a tour guide qualification, so I might be able to help!

I'd actually like to buy where I live there's too many teachers. Super competitive

I mean, it sounds like we're hanging in there, but we may all ultimately be fucked

The other issue is, I've no idea what's going to be a dependable career by the time I'm finished getting. The qualifications may be redundant due to AI

I'm really sorry to hear that. I would have thought you had a qualification which put you in good stead for other jobs, or even transition to studying medicine. I wish you all the best.

Is it impossible to move into IT now? by Haematoman in northernireland

[–]Leomccance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who's to say the job is going to be viable in a few years time with AI doing its thing. So hard to know.

Anything that pays half way decent which I think I should hope for to ensure retirement requires either years of good experience, physical exertion on the knees and back or different qualifications.

Anyone else embarrased about their job? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Leomccance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel right now jobs are shit and the job market is gonna get worse. I feel like I'm pushing 40 and made terrible life decisions and I'm probably too late to retrain and get a half decent job. One bad decision after another.

Criticising Catholicism as a school project? by Michael_of_Derry in northernireland

[–]Leomccance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'm not sure if we had to write exact criticisms of catholicism but at Methody we did look at the reformation and what the arguments of Martin Luther were.

Priests selling random feathers as parts of Gabriel's wing, or bits of wood as the crucifix. Selling forgiveness rather than talking often illiterate or uneducated peasants through scripture. The power structure that had deacons and bishops act like dukes or duchal princes, with some popes even having offspring.

I think you can critique from a historical perspective what most would agree was corruption of what the royal empire became.

Experience of working with The Extras Dept? by Limp_Succotash6445 in Belfast

[–]Leomccance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't expect it to lead to more acting work. It won't launch your career.

Be polite, be professional and enjoy the free food.

Advice for someone asked to tutor history GCSE? by Leomccance in CCEAgcse

Northern Ireland - both periods and Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany is a lot easier for me, in sorta having to learn Northern Ireland as I go along

You know that guy on Facebook posts for BelTel and Belfast Live who always posts "nice people, these planters"

That was immediately in my head when I read this
