  • This is just trying to be provocative. Firstly, Spread Eagle is not a city, it's a fishing settlement and a bay (and the area around the bay, including the smaller bays and Spread Eagle Island). Placentia is a real town, but it's not that close to Dildo, it's farther West on Placentia Bay. And Dildo is not located on the coast of Conception Bay, it's along Trinity Bay and the Dildo Arm. Conception Bay is over by St. John's.

  • The map is also just wrong on several countries, like there's no May Day in Liberia or Sierra Leone, Sudan, Mongolia, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan. And a lot more countries only have partial holidays

  • Yeah I get what the map is, but isn't really accurate to say they "skip labor day", and there is also significance to why labor day is celebrated at other times of the year in other places, like the two examples I mentioned:

    Several provinces in Canada had worker-organized labour movements that created their own labour day in September, so that is a culturally significant time for it to happen. And in Ireland, to say they're skipping May Day when there is a public holiday is inaccurate, and also fails to take into account the cultural impact of the start of May already being a traditional festival.

    It's funny that America doesn't celebrate it in May, but it is ultimately a bit US-centric to present the information in this manner when the date itself was chosen by the AFL to commemorate an American strike.

  • Newfoundland used to celebrate it in July until they joined Confederation, now they have it in September like the rest of Canada, so it's sort of weird that it's green, but also sort of weird that Canada is black, cause it doesn't "skip" it, it's just a different time.

    And the island near Newfoundland that's also green is Anticosti, truly no idea why that is included, the 200ish people that live there have it in September like the rest of the country

    I also question what's going on with Ireland, because May Day is a public holiday, it's just not necessarily May 1st, it's the first Monday of May and is also Bealtaine, calling Bealtaine "just another day" isn't right.

  • True, but surprisingly his home isn't the lodge, it's the Wellington Monument.

  • They're in the UK (they're from Belfast) so they're almost certainly just worried about being charged with actual terrorism crimes if they publicly support organizations the UK has deemed terrorist (a lady was charged for having a paraglider sticker on her backpack, the UK are completely abysmal).

    It just feels like they could have chosen to say nothing instead though, instead of repeating imperialist propaganda by condemning Hamas and Hezbollah and in the next sentence talking about civilian deaths. Like.... come on, you're doing the Zionists' work for them when you continue to link talk about resistance fighters to civilian casualties. Bad form, but what can you expect from famous people who require visas and grants from government bodies in the UK?

  • "Let us be unequivocal: We do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah."

    Weird choice to add this part guys

    Important Irish Information

    I've noticed on this website a lot of Americans like to call their president their "big wet boy."

    And I would like to notify them that in Ireland, the president (currently Michael Higgins, different guy than the taoiseach Micheál Martin) is Uachtarán na hÉireann (President of Ireland). Uachtarán means cream (like when cream rises, also why we say "cream of the crop" in English).

    All of this to say, while America may have a big wet boy for now, Ireland always has and will always have a creamy boy.

  • The most stunning part of this is the use of the term "invert," which has been outdated for nearly a century. They're deep-diving sexological history to bring back Victorian-era greatest hits of transmisogyny and homophobia.

  • When you run the installer, uncheck the boxes for updating directx or c++ or whatever. That's what is failing to download.
