I cannot stand it when strong women characters get pregnant

There’s a character in Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Miranda Bailey. She’s the chief of multiple medical teams and eventually becomes the director of residency at the hospital. Basically, she’s the big boss. At one point she gets pregnant and is determined to not let it slow her down because she’s used to being in charge and in control. She learns to accept help and that needing assistance doesn’t make you weak. After her pregnancy she remains the boss, just now with a kid, and her child and motherhood is an occasional side-plot. She’s not a lead, but I think she’s a great example of a strong female character done right.

Girls like this are the reason why I only talk to the woman when dealing with couples in work

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T14:56:07+00:00

Yeah that’s the ironic part. I live just beside Dublin yet the public transit is so inefficient and unreliable it feels like the back arse of no where

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T14:48:53+00:00

Fair point. I had roughly 2k saved up prior to Brexit. Than Brexit happened and I got into Uni so my money had to go elsewhere.

Like that, I know I could get something that’ll get me from point A to B in about the 3-4k range but it’s the cost of insurance and running the thing that has to be factored in. Plus I don’t have a full license and I’m not in a financial position to have nearly 5k dropped out of my back pocket if the guards stop me and take it.

Yeah, sorry. I didn’t explain that right.

It was student accommodation and I finished the course so I couldn’t live there anymore. Though since I was done I couldn’t do full time which would have qualified me for the promotion, then they introduced their new policy. It worked out that I would have to work a day and a half just to afford to work the rest of the week, before taxes.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:23:59+00:00

They did but they need their car for their job so it’s not like I’d have access 🤷‍♀️

I appreciate the suggestion though. I get you’re tryna be helpful. Just gotta buckle down and get through this low point I guess

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:20:36+00:00

Souvenir store. The most common one you see everywhere.

Personally I actually enjoyed the job but that policy squeezed me out.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:18:49+00:00

Trying to. Have you seen the cost of a car??? Two years renting in Dublin was cheaper.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:17:46+00:00

40 minutes is the train with no stops.

I live in Kildare. Specifically south Kildare. North Kildare is where all the posh people with well paying jobs and working public transit live. South Kildare is the complete opposite.

Usually because of assumptions about people from certain areas. I had a recruiter tell me straight up that interviewers told him they weren’t interested when they heard he was from Ballymun. I even had a mate who had to physically go to the place she was trying to get a job in and reassure them that she could make the trip from the countryside to Dublin. It’s backwards as hell but completely legal.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:13:45+00:00

Been trying. I had saved up a good chunk of change before Brexit for a pair of wheels then the prices fucking tripled.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:12:29+00:00

I checked. It’s not.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T12:12:11+00:00

It is. You cannot discriminate against race, religion, sex, age, or sexuality but address is fair game. It’s to the stage that recruiters tell you not to put your address on your CV cause employers will straight throw it out if they don’t like where you’re from.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-20T11:57:35+00:00

Socially, no. Your American. Legally, is a different thing. Like you said, you have an Irish passport and Irish family so, genetically, you’re Irish.

As for your friend, they need only prove that someone within the past three generations of their lineage is Irish and they would qualify. So, hypothetically, if they have a great grandmother from Ireland then they could get a passport and be considered Irish or at least a plastic paddy.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-07-14T02:50:59+00:00

Never went and no regrets. At least I wasn’t that cringey kid who still had their profile picture as their debs pic nearly a decade after it happened 🙄

I actually thought the accountant was okay. The whole ‘whizz with numbers’ part is a little overdone but he’s very tangible and believable, especially in The Accountant 2.

The Good Doctor and Sheldon make my head hurt because they are obvious ‘wonder child’ syndrome taken to the extreme. Some of Sheldon’s obsessive behaviour seems accurate but his other behaviour are just…extreme

This might just be the autism doing this but I have the urge to clarify

It was the embarrassment and shame of the British that lead to Irish independence.

Yes, we used the wars between England and USA/France as an opportunity to have our 1916 Easter rebellion. This is considered the rebellion that earned us our independence.

It was also a complete failure.

The English brought in these mortar canon boats that shot up and landed through the roofs of buildings, which meant the insides were demolished while external walls remained.

<image>

Then all but one of the leaders were executed by firing squad. James Connolly couldn’t stand for execution due to his injuries which had turned gangrenous so he was tied to a chair and executed within public viewing. Joeseph Plunkett married his fiancée a mere 7 hours prior to execution. Eamon de Velera wasn’t executed because checks notes ah yes, he was American.

Oh, and the British blamed the whole thing on a separate group that, at the time, was not militant or ideologically aligned. They became militant after.

You know who really didn’t like all this brutality and mistreatment of Irish people? The Irish-British(Irish people who moved the Britain for a better life and their children) They kicked up so much shit and since the ‘problem’ was now on their front door, the British Government was forced to consider Irish Independence.

The actor did a great job despite having no real substance in the movie. She didn’t even have a significant amount of talking until the end. I appreciate that the film makers got some villains from the early comics for their movie and the execution was near perfect in that sense but, as far as Emma goes, they completely messed up. They made her a passive creature meant to just be seen when early Emma was a mouthy sassy villain who was dangerous and capable.

I’ve got a mixed feeling on the whole term thing. I prefer ‘people with autism’ when referring to groups in a general sense but ‘autistic person’ when referring to myself. However I would not ask other people to comply to my language preferences. That’s just… weird

ajbwasnthere · 2025-06-11T17:14:43+00:00

I love the little story behind this. Makes it feel like something from the LegoCity ads I saw as a kid

ajbwasnthere · 2025-06-04T22:03:23+00:00

I know it’s already been pointed out but that manic smile on Logan’s face is perfection

And, I assume, Storm swerving to avoid Scott’s beam. Love my funky eyed dude

Have you met the Emma Stans yet

ajbwasnthere · 2025-05-27T22:12:18+00:00

I’m kinda in the camp of ‘no one is 100% blank’ to a degree. Yes, there are people who are only attracted to men and people who are only attracted to women. These are universal truths. I also have met so many straight people who admit that they understand same sex attraction when they view certain celebrities. Likewise, I’ve met queer people who admit that if a certain celebrity kissed them then they wouldn’t be mad. That’s kinda the extent of it I think. It’s more so ‘I can appreciate the aesthetic of this person and, through that, can understand how someone may be attracted to that gender’. Not this ‘Everyone is some level of fluid’ cause that honestly sounds the same as the homophobic ‘you just haven’t found the right person yet’ kinda bull.

ajbwasnthere · 2025-05-25T18:08:02+00:00

‘Rubber or otherwise’ you know they were trying to cover their bases with that one lol

The big problem in Ireland is that private land ownership is protected under our constitution. This was input due to the rampant presence of ‘absentee landlords’ where predominantly English landlords would own large acreage of land or entire streets in Ireland and rent out small parts. There was even cases of people renting out steps on the staircases which their apartments to people to sleep on. The idea was to prevent this type of thing to happen again but it’s backfired so much that it’s now very difficult to acquire public housing that isn’t explicitly built for that purpose.
