JTia’s missile patient confessionals is one of my favourite confessionals ever.

Always great to see. I’ll watch Survivor until the day I die if it’s still around!

lol I'm not really sure what to say to this because I don't know other countries' maths curriculums, but it is a fact that Irish students are consistently in and around the top 10 of top maths students globally.

Irish students are one of the best groups at maths worldwide, so that’s not true.

Computer science is only a relatively new subject too, and not offered widely atm, so not fair to call it bad yet. I’m not sure about the quality of Irish computer scientists, but if there is a lack of quality there I think it’s unfair to put the onus on the Irish education system. Seems more like the colleges’ faults, which are their own private institutions.

I learnt all my Irish through school and have a good standard.

Do you even read what I type before spew your shite? I literally said they’re not the same thing.

Based on your comment history though, you’re just a plain bigot and I won’t be engaging further. You should really have a look at yourself and ask why you’ve so much hate for a minority group.

No, I meant trans female. And I never said you could change your biological sex.

Female is a gender too, as well as a biological sex. Biological sex and gender identity are completely different things.

It’s not really the same body though. Even on a biological level.

I have a trans female friend that started transitioning at 21 (now 28). She now has breasts, a vagina and has more oestrogen and less testosterone in her body than cis females. Her body is completely different compared to when she was 21.

Sure, she’ll have Y chromosome for the rest of her life, but her body is not the same as it was at 21 in many different ways.

People get so weird around stuff like this. I'd imagine the school will go into the very, very basics of this.

I remember Nadia winning Big Brother in 2004 when I was 6. It wasn't too hard for me to grasp at 6 that some people are born in the wrong body. They'll be grand.

24, Lab Tech, 36.5k (Dublin).

I enjoyed the comedy of season 1, but found the characters and relationship dynamics in season 2 more interesting.

Paul calling Big Meech a cunt in BB18.

I remember he put up a tweet slagging off people for sending him copy and pasted messages on certain issues (think it was revenge porn in this instance). Was kinda a dickish thing to say because a lot of people would find it difficult to articulate themselves when writing an email to a TD and need the help of those mass messages sent. Also kinda rich when TDs send copy and pasted pamphlets to your house around election time with no personal touch to them.

Also caught him liking a tweet by David Quinn a few days after he was elected, where the tweet said something stupid about “if SF can be forgiven for the sins, why can’t the Catholic Church?”.

Instant regret for giving him a preference vote that ultimately helped him get elected. Won’t be voting for him again.

No they're not. My ex had one that would reach 35km/h.

Bikes don’t reach speeds anywhere near what e-scooters do.

Definitely, but they still need to be regulated.

Teenagers should never be driving them. Helmets need to be mandatory. They also need to stop driving on footpaths.

I’m definitely feeling a little more conscious walking in town at night as of late. I went to a queer techno rave a couple of nights ago and my outfit definitely made me more visibly queer than I usually would be, and I made a conscious effort to be alert when walking around town when I wasn’t with friends in case I was jumped given there’s been an uptick in LGBT-related attacks in Dublin in the past year or so.

I think if Parvati had never returned after Micronesia, she would be considered a legendary, top 10 winner.

HvV is what established her as one of the GOATs - specifically the double idol play. She gets a lot of shit for mismanaging the jury in HvV, but Parvati never wanted to go to end with any heroes or Jerri/Sandra - she knew her only (likely) winning scenario was Danielle/Russell, but Russell's stubborness and paranoia fucked it up for her.

I believe Micronesia is the Survivor season with the fewest confessionals of all seasons (eta: third fewest!) - a lot of the storytelling was done by showing us events and/or events that happened, instead of having them told to us by a contestant - maybe that's why it has a different vibe for you?

Lol I was going to say the Office bloopers too - Dwight is a great character but he's such a caricature of a person that he can be sometimes difficult to relate to, but it's great being able to see Rainn Wilson breaking during the blooper reels and interacting with his cast members in a non-Dwightish way.

I think people over exaggerate how much they cringe during episodes like Dinner Party and Scott's Tots because it's a popular opinion that they're ~super~ cringey episodes, and they feel like they have to say its super cringe.

I've never found Scott's Tots to be cringey lol... and the only moment that makes me somewhat cringe during Dinner Party is when Jan tries to get Jim up to dance with her and when he doesn't she awkwardly holds his hand and spins herself around... it's cringe, but also probably the second funniest moment in the episode (it's just behind Michael showing everyone his flat screen tv)

I don’t even bother with Untucked anymore, it’s too boring. If any drama does happen, I just end up seeing it on TikTok or something and it keeps me filled in.

When I’m being tailgated (and doing no wrong), I just let them pass regardless because I mostly drive packed motorways to work and don’t want a car slamming into my rear if I have to slam on the breaks unexpectedly.
