If it's labeled "holy" I assume a priest stuck his willy in it, so no.

I went there a couple months ago, and it seemed like all the native folks spoke Irish (Gaelic) to some degree. It was pretty surprising, I thought I'd have to go to the west coast to get away from English, but nope, signs everywhere were printed in Gaelic and even the first cabbie I encountered in Dublin was more than happy to chat about linguistics!

No EU member has English as its main language

Ireland?

Whew. 100% to all that. Cheers and hang in there, friend.

Ah, thanks. I agree now that I've gotten more context.

I was a bit on edge because some jerk tried calling me a racist for suggesting maybe this isn't the fascism it looks like (sadly, turns out it is). So I thought perhaps you were calling me a brownshirt, which is a particularly nasty insult against people of my origin.

I didn't post it, I'm just explaining what I think the author intended. But I certainly don't agree with them. I come from an immigrant family that fled the original brownshirts.

I didn't claim it was good satire. That's just the supposed purpose of that subreddit. I personally think this is pretty pathetic.

Ok, apparently there are actual hateful idiots in that thread. You didn't share that part previously. Not too shocking though. That's why I don't use reddit.

For you brilliant commenters reacting angrily, this doesn't represent actual views. /r/UnethicalLifeProTips is satire.

EDIT: Well it's supposed to be satire, anyway. I won't claim it's succeeding.

Where are these supposed US leftists who didn't vote blue, exactly? I've seen a lot of vitriol towards them but not actually encountered any.

I've only seen people who fit half the description -- e.g. users from lemmygrad or hexbear who railed against Harris but also support Putin or China.. Those probably aren't US voters.

I don't think you understand. The faction taking over won't stop with the US. They want unfettered power. They're well aware American military might exceeds the rest of the world combined by tenfold and will eventually use it to intimidate or destroy anyone in their way, after subjugating our own citizenry of course.

Oh we're making this a game? I'll guess 9:37.

 

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:
