Which country do you live in? This sounds like something that could never happen in the UK or US as divorce is extremely common. I’m pretty sure you would have to have done something bad in order to be ousted here. Like abusing your partner would do it, not just divorcing them.
Also legally changing your name is fairly easy, I am sure if you talked to your University you could get them to update the records. Chances are though it would show up in a background check.
Were you born in USA? If so I think actual Scottish and Irish people would be annoyed about you calling yourself Scottish and Irish. Also just because some of your distant ancestors were Irish or Scottish doesn’t mean you don’t have German heritage, they could well have descended from German ancestors themselves. In fact it’s pretty pointless trying to resolve race down to countries, especially without DNA evidence, and it’s mostly a social construct anyway.
I never claimed to be Irish, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone from another country had more Irish DNA than me. I’ve spent time in Spain but I would never, ever claim to Spanish because of that. Likewise if I found I had Spanish ancestors 2 or 3 generations ago, I might make a note of it but still wouldn’t make me Spanish. You’re nationality is always where you are born, or have citizenship from. Being a resident is not always the same as being a citizen either. A true citizen has a passport from the nation they are a citizen of. Even then we have a term for immigrants with citizenship - it’s called being a naturalized citizen.
To be clear there is nothing wrong with being either a naturalized citizen or having ancestors from another land. What is a problem is people claiming to be something they aren’t based on their grandparents or great grandparents. If you didn’t grow up in Ireland, and haven’t been there for most of your life, you don’t have the same experience of actual Irish people. It’s not even about your DNA, which so many people can’t seem to understand. It’s about shared cultural experience.
You’re essentially insulting Irish people the way this guy is insulting you, by comparing blood and deciding who is most “pure”.
That’s now what I am trying to do at all. I am trying to make the point that shared cultural experience is more important than distant ancestors and that you don’t get the right to call yourself something because some of your grandparents were immigrants. It’s something Americans seem to get caught up on that repeatedly.
That’s the term people use to describe Americans claiming to be something else (especially two or more different things like Irish and Scottish), precisely because it’s descriptive of America’s demographics while also being irritating to American’s like yourself who want to claim to be something else. It’s no one’s fault where they are born, raised, or where their family comes from. So why try and lie about it, or twist it? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Also fyi mutts are the healthiest kind of dog there is, because they have the least inbred genetic traits. Having genetics from multiple origins isn’t a bad thing biologically speaking, it can actually sometimes be beneficial.
Yes, but you wouldn’t carry around an O2 canister necessarily, rather some kind of air filter I would imagine. I think we are a long way off making the air unbreathable though.
That is not how this works at all. There isn’t an actual medical diagnosis called psychopath. The closest we have is ASPD. I am fairly sure people with ASPD don’t have as much difficulty with empirical reality as you are talking about. Delusions are more of a psychosis thing.
I also don’t think it’s fair to judge someone on an issue like abortion when entire religions shove the idea that abortion is wrong down your throat even when being a child. The indoctrination is strong. Stop blaming the victims here.
This isn’t actually true. They offer both glibc and musl these days. Glibc is the normal one most Linux distros use. Musl doesn’t work with some things, but is still desirable to some people for various reasons. Flatpak could be used to work around this, as it should pull in whatever libc that the program needs. Distrobox would also work. Though again this only applies of using the musl libc version.
Another potential sore point is not using systemd init. There are some things dependant on systemd, though generally there are packages which act as a replacement for whatever systemd functionality is needed.
I still have no idea what’s wrong with Voids fonts though. You are on your own there!
I don’t think they are at any risk of going extinct. They are considered hyper-predators and dangerously invasive species for a reason. They have been moved to environments they weren’t meant to be in and thrived there to the detriment of everything else several times over. Sure it will kill some of them, but overall they will probably come out on top.
It’s not just about the cost though. They’re inferior to pretty much any other mid-range or high-end smartphone too. Expensive but good would be fine. Cheap and mediocre would be fine. Expensive and mediocre though? Nah.
My £250 used phone has a faster processor, more RAM, better screen (higher resolution, brighter, bigger and higher frame rate), and a higher capacity battery with faster charging. It’s a mid-range Xiaomi from a couple years ago, not a high end or flagship phone.
They should take notes from pinephone. Offers something unusual at a low cost. Since enthusiasts eat that stuff up you get extra help with software and ROMs too. Yes it’s low spec, but it’s good enough for enthusiasts to play with and is of good value as the price reflects the quality.
Plenty of other brands which aren’t Chinese are both better and cheaper. Samsung, Apple, Google, Asus even.
Do they all use cheap Chinese labour? Sure. Do you actually think Fair phone doesn’t? Even if they somehow completely avoid China for the whole supply chain, they will inevitably get cheap labour from somewhere - like Taiwan or Costa Rica. After all they are using standard Qualcomm parts, so that’s going to be either TSMC in Taiwan or Samsung in China and Korea.
According to their own website their living wage bonus is only $2.63. It doesn’t even say if that’s per hour or per day.
I was actually born in England though. I live in England. I have an English passport. That’s what it means to be English. Being born in America with an American passport makes you, wait for it, American.
I am pretty sure being born in another country, experiencing that countries education system, festivals, religions, social gatherings, material conditions, and so on counts as changing culture. This is especially true if those ancestors you guys love talking about moved over 2 or 3 or even 4 generations ago.
Also if what you say is true then according to our respective ancestry I should be pressing my boot on your neck, while eating a crumpet with butter. Would you like me to do that?
Most bread in English supermarkets doesn’t have excessive sugar. This is an American thing. We were also the guys that pretty much invented mechanically processed dough too, so it’s not like we have high standards.

Started buying bread from local bakery over grocery shops! So worth it! (slrpnk.net)
While it being a little more expensive, sooo worth it. Bread in picture is a fresh sourdough bread. Yummsy!
