Post a controversial opinion

Too kind (leaving aside the ursine features/

xp

dude

the article is comparing the irish brown bear to polar bears

I don't care if an Irish Turkish bearperson is brown, polar, green, purple I don't see color

bear say hi

That's nobody's business but the Turks'

thanks fro the advice everyone

most people only get two options as they age: stay at a reasonable weight and slowly the facial plumpness of youth washes away with age and you look more skeletal,

i am ok with this option

hmm... well like i said i am allergic to most alcohol (all beer, all wine, i only ever drink at weddings or when i'm out of the country and then i get a jack & coke... i think clear liquor is the only alcohol that doesn't make my throat close up and fuck up my sinuses, but i abstain anyway, never liked the feeling of being drunk).

i eat a lot of korean food. and mexican food. avocados. no junk food except some candy. hmm... ok so maybe 1 bag of tortilla chips instead of 2
thank you everyone
i hope to age well, or at least into the skeletal option

Have you considered becoming a polar bear

Job prospects for polar bears are bleak.

i hate being cold

layer of blubber essential for northern climes and winter months

I have to wear 7-8 layers in the fall & winter here in the mid-atlantic. longsleeve t-shirt, turtleneck, cardigan, sweater, bigger sweater, hoodie, jacket, bigger jacket

get a scarf.

Hate scarves and gloves tbh.

scarves are pretty great for keeping warm.

That's less important to me than the fact that I find them annoying and never wear them, even though I've been getting a scarf for Christmas one year followed by gloves the next year for most of my adult life.

I have about 6 scarves in my flat somewhere. Gloves are useless because I always lose them.

However I do live in London, which is very rarely ever cold.

i have a scarf, forgot to list it

people who do blind shoves on opening hands of poker should have their arms cuto ff

Kevin looney > Jordan bell

What the fuck is poker

Poker is an Anatolia

Kevon

poker bears

I'm not sure if this is a "controversial opinion," or if it's just unusual- it's not a challop, but I think that Vampire Weekend and the Smashing Pumpkins have a lot in common.

what is it about the blind shove, Neanderthal? because if it's about turning poker into Mario Party I have to disagree, that anyone might win a game that requires so much skill to win consistently is maybe my favorite thing about poker, frustrating as it may be

Controversial opinion? Idk but: I think it’s weird when people claim to be Irish when they were born and raised somewhere else, and especially if not even their parents were born and raised in Ireland. No one says they’re British or English if they weren’t born and raised there. No one says they’re Australian or New Zealish if they weren’t born and raised there.

it's about the struggle

or the troubles

that kind of thing

Which none of these people ever know the first thing about.

If someone with Irish roots identifies as Irish-American, or Irish-Spanish, or Irish-Anatolian, I don't really see the problem tbh.

Perhaps they didn't endure the struggle first hand but it can have been passed on down the line.

(or did you mean Irish- without the American or Anatolian attached? Cuz yeah that's p weird)

What struggle is that?

Famine, having to listen to Inglishers aping the way you speak iirc

xp

people that are of Italian descent do the same thing. Irish genes & the disposition are strong and carry over thru many generations. ime. also perhaps a history of Irish & Italians being discriminated against in USA up thru the end of WWII

"Irish genes" nah. Just genes.

Genes carry over.

Well, yeah

WOuld you identify as Irish-Murican, flappy? Would you say this out loud to people?

yeah I do

How far back does ancestry have to go before you qualify as Irish-Something?

xp good on you!

xp you mean Something-American? idk

the strong irish genes

I think the thesis is it depends on the Something the Something-American is.

Something-Anything. When u feel it u feel it.

when pressed (and o am i pressed since moving to the usa) i say im canadian but they dont want to hear that, they want to know where my ancestors are from, which i still find weird and uncomfortable to tell to people i hardly know

but its bc people cant tell where my surname comes from and hear me speak other languages
