Ireland is one of the most expensive places in the world but the only jobs that can really keep up with increasing prices of everything are like, American tech companies and pharmaceuticals. So anyone who doesn't have expertise in those areas will either struggle to ever own a house or have to emigrate

Woke up early to get to my 9am lecture, it's the first lecture of the semester so I wanted to make a good start. Dragged myself out of bed, ate breakfast, walked in the cold to the bus stop, checked my emails just in case: class cancelled. Now I'm up early, and I hate being up early, and I'm not on college 
I had an argument with my dad last night where he tried to convince me that a protectorate was not a colony or a vassel of an empire, and was in fact just a military alliance
I'm starting my semester tomorrow and I was just looking at my modules and I have NO EXAMS THIS SUMMER!!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!! 
Also I don't have any lectures on Fridays which is so nice
Consumerism and it's fucking consequences. I don't understand why people are fawning over a certain brand of flask, but they are

Mom Can't Cook is a podcast I've been addicted to for the past year. It's two British guys reviewing and dunking on Disney Channel Original Movies, and they're really funny. They're also vaguely leftist, they don't talk politics much but they're progressive on gender and sexuality and stuff.
They describe the podcast as "we watched all the DCOMs over lockdown and now we need an excuse to talk about them" and I really need someone else to listen to the podcast so I have an excuse to talk about it
Oh yeah like beyblades
Yes definitely, the middle part of Stardust Crusaders is some of the worst of JoJo. Part 4 is a lot more light hearted and mostly better (I don't much like the first third but most people do). Part 5 and 6 have some of the best fights and part 7 is just straight up the best, it's JoJo without all of the bullshit that drags it down. The politics in part 7 are a complete 180 from the days of Nazis being the food guys, the main villain is the president yof the USA and his stand is basically an allegory for imperialism. Also actual literal Jesus Christ is in it
My sister got me a hand mixer for Christmas. I already have a hand mixer, in fact I just had to buy a new one recently because my old one broke. What am I gonna do with a second hand mixer. I don't need two hand mixers. Why did she give me this
I cut my hair up to around my chin and I really like how it is now
Probably in the USA people stopped caring about whether or not you were Irish some time after the 1940s. In the UK anti-irish racism continued throughout the troubles well into the 90s, and there are still some English people who have stuck with the good old tradition of hating Irish people (though much less now).
