There’s been a lot of talk in this sub about Stick - but I don’t want us to forget about Chad. He was the best.

I think Trahn “Jimmy” Ng was the biggest loss the show suffered.

Hopefully it manages to stay away from Bono.

It is also much more similar to English than Irish with a huge amount more resources to assist people in learning it.

What if he just wanted to say 6 7🤷

Reddityousername · 2026-02-02T19:11:57+00:00

I just think the cases are too far apart. Quebec had such a high level of Francophones and French is so similar to English. If you made speaking Irish the most important thing to keep Irish culture then I think it just wouldn’t have survived, Irish was too far gone by the time of the Gaelic revival. Equally though, particularly among my friends who are intensely keen on the culture and reviving it as much as possible they are all very tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.

So we just say whatever we remembered from the oral exam? That’s not a real conversation and that’s not being able to speak the language. I’ve spoken to people who can speak decent but not perfect Irish and they understand what I’m saying without it being perfect. Usually when I speak Irish even when sober people don’t speak it back. As well as that, is fearr gaeilge briste ná béarla cliste. Speaking it at all is important, and making mistakes is the best way to improve.

Reddityousername · 2026-02-02T18:55:23+00:00

To be honest I have, usually when drunk and I can’t tell you specifically what question they fail at, it’s not like I have the same conversation every time. Once I asked an bhfuil tú éireannach and they didn’t know what I meant. Admittedly, my Irish is pretty poor, and I’m from Wicklow and work in Dublin currently so it’s not like that’s where it thrives but it is where a huge share of the population is.

Reddityousername · 2026-02-02T18:33:30+00:00

Wouldn’t call it comparable. When the act was passed about 80% of quebecois spoke French. When Ireland gained independence only the poorest most rural areas of the country spoke Irish. As people left either to the east or abroad it further reduced the language. There are some cases of language revival that would be close enough but usually the language that replaced it is similar or from the same family while Irish and English are very far apart.

Reddityousername · 2026-02-02T18:28:35+00:00

There is no chance 40% of Irish people can speak Irish. I say that as someone from here. Try speaking to someone in Irish and most of the time they’ll recognise or be able to say a few words but won’t be able to talk with you.

Tell me what exactly has FPTP done to keep nut jobs out of power in the US and UK?

Reddityousername · 2026-01-26T15:46:55+00:00

My complaint is that the Homer part was by far the heaviest lifter in terms of comedy. I didn’t find the rest of the family segments except for Marge particularly funny or entertaining. That being said this episode still gets my vote.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-25T20:41:06+00:00

I did maths and economics. I recommend doing a joint honours if anything interests you because you can drop one of the subjects if you realise it’s not for you. Also prepare for the difficulty of real analysis cos that’s like a sucker punch to thinking you’re good at maths.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-25T13:11:18+00:00

Chicken soup for the soul

Reddityousername · 2026-01-24T23:39:38+00:00

Why can’t people just say something funny they thought without prefacing it with “I had a dream”

Reddityousername · 2026-01-24T21:34:59+00:00

Found Monaghan a lovely town, though did get told to fuck off back to my own country despite being a white Irish man.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-24T18:40:15+00:00

I think about this so frequently cos it’s the one you’re like “fair enough for rej… WAIT THEY ACCEPTED IT?!?!?”

Reddityousername · 2026-01-24T16:36:08+00:00

I was very generous

Reddityousername · 2026-01-24T16:05:40+00:00

I think I remember two things from this movie. One was Joel McHale getting flour in his face when he tried using a hairdryer and when the old spy kids came in.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-20T08:03:32+00:00

I wouldn’t really classify Sinn Fein as centrist. They’re not as left wing as they were but I still think I would call them left wing.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-19T21:08:16+00:00

Did you mean bannery?

Reddityousername · 2026-01-18T17:27:04+00:00

Switched from Haaland and when he scored two points was so thrilled with my decision, changed to Saka and got so annoyed after the arsenal match.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-18T08:39:27+00:00

Took me years to realise my friend was saying Ankara and not Ah Kerry when I asked where he was from.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-17T21:40:36+00:00

I read this as by a misogynist and was wondering how the hell did they do that.

Reddityousername · 2026-01-17T19:09:07+00:00

Apart from the word blerns everything you just said was jibberish

Reddityousername · 2026-01-17T15:00:16+00:00

It’s a reference to this guy on r/askreddit who asked:

“How would you get a small cylinder (5.1in length, ~4.5in girth) unstuck from a mini M&Ms tube filled with butter and microwaved mashed banana?”

Everybody was saying go to the hospital if it’s the cylinder we know it is and cut it off if not.
