"The Prime Minister of Northern Ireland"
The artificial division was already in place and a non-representation puppet state did the thing they were told to do without any input from the affected population. The partition away of part of Ireland, including non-unionist areas, had already happened. The ability of the British government to fabricate history with nonsensical language long predates this ("The British Isles") and continues to the modern day ("confidence and supply").

I promise you I read the rest of your crap (I promise you, the only means by which I am "uneducated" is by virtue of not having been brainwashed by the British education system which is incredibly light on British history...), but I almost didn't when you opened with this outright farcical statement. Oh and the St Patrick's Saltire is part of the Union Jack and yes, was used during the terrorism against Irish people, both government sanction and otherwise.
It isn't my job to educate you on your own history (our own history), and I suspect if you're the type of person who thinks what Belfast City Hall does on St Patrick's Day matters a tap to anyone, there wouldn't be much point in trying. The good news is that my government will happily do so in a generation or so. Irredentism is alive and well my friend, since the DUP broke the Good Friday Agreement by joining government and trying to establish a border on the island of Ireland. The consequences will be long remembered.
There is no such country as "The Republic of Ireland". You're thinking of Ireland, which is a republic.
The tricolour represents all people on the island of Ireland. Can you guess why it is green white and orange? Your decision to be offended by a flag (fleg) that was specifically designed to pander to you is your own.
St Patrick's Saltire has absolutely no connection to the saint and is at least as offensive to most Irish people as your strange aversion to the tricolour by virtue of being a British invention to place (and keep even after Irish independence) Ireland on the United Kingdom flag.
Finally, anyone who is offended by being associated with Ireland or its flag is quite unlikely to want to celebrate the life of a Catholic saint, particularly not the Presbyterian Ulster Scots (the American descendents of which would have spent something less than a generation in Ireland before being replanted in America).
The issue wasn't using the dates. The issue was the computer believing it was now on those dates.
I'm going to assume you aren't old enough to remember, but the "only two digits to represent the year" issue predates computers. Lots of paper forms just gave two digits. And a lot of early computer work was just digitising paper forms.
What the fucks an Arkansas
Are you under the impression that Macron is running for the European Parliament?
They're used to being blocked by little desert theocracies around the world. Another one isn't a big deal
Read your own article all the way to the bottom ❤️
(Also thank you for citing a fucking Gizmodo article from 2018 instead of the actual Google Code of Conduct which is the top result for "Google Code of Conduct to prove my point about laziness beautifully. Please note, you'll have to read all the way to the end again, sorry. https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/)
Gonna replace "surprise" with "emergent" and put this on a slide.
Me, jaded, having seen the state of Borneo:
Singapore isn't that big?
