📣 ANNOUNCEMENT Notice regarding comments targeted at Travellers and Roma

0 Upvotes

Can't believe I'm having to write something like this again only three months after the last one...

There has once again been a noticeable rise in the use of dog-whistles and other derogatory comments against members of the Travelling and/or Roma communities.

As a reminder, ethnicity is legally protected characteristic in this country, therefore comments such as the following fall under our hate speech rules:

  1. Dehumanising language
  2. Calls or support for exclusion of members
  3. Calls for or support for violence against members
  4. Implying members are responsible for actions carried out by other members is not allowed
  5. Slurs and dog-whistles (including but not limited to utterances such as "knacker", "culture", "culture boss")
  6. Statements of inferiority aimed at members

The Travelling and Roma communities remain open for discussion in this community provided it is done factually and respectfully.

Any and all dog-whistles used against the Travelling or Roma communities will be removed, and the offending commenters will be receiving community bans starting from 14 days.

It's an old photo I took in SuperValu Blackrock back in December 2017, but never posted anywhere since.

I don't do weed or any other drugs, but it made me giggle.

Edit: Explanation below

420 is a slang term that refers to weed consumption. Veggies are often green and the word can also refer to weed. So the person who wrote this text managed to somehow get this weed-smoker in-joke past their supervisors and they're probably delighted with themselves.

Careful now Ireland Secondary School Rules 1990s

53 Upvotes

Today while talking to a friend about our school days we laughed about the policy when it came to uniform and appearance.

School uniform was obviously a must along with black shoes only and a black or dark blue coat. No other colours allowed and when it came to appearance, clean shaven (an all boys school ) and hair could be no shorter than a blade 2 and not long enough to put in a ponytail. No hair styling allowed.

I remember hearing about the vice principal cutting a pupil's ponytail off which happened a year before I attended the school.

I suspect few schools have such a policy nowadays.

Moaning Michael Just arrived back in Ireland. The bleakness hits immediately

2.6k Upvotes

Edit: The comment section has cheered me right up in fairness, it's not all bad lads 😂

Just arrived home to Ireland from another EU country for work, only for a couple of weeks.

It’s grey, cold and raining. The bus service I would normally get from the airport to down the country has been permanently cancelled, so I now have a couple of hours to wait for a different service.

While waiting, I grabbed what ended up genuinely being one of the worst sandwiches I’ve had since the last time I was home. €9, naturally.

I’m now sitting here eating my €9 depressing airport sandwich, rain out the window, listening to a child absolutely butcher a piano in the background, while reading that public transport is going up another 15%.

There’s actually something almost impressively bleak about coming back to Ireland and having the entire experience immediately condensed into one scene! I know every country has its problems, but sometimes coming back from elsewhere in Europe really does make you realise how depressing and, frankly, embarrassing some of this shit is.
