Post a controversial opinion

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

What the fuck is poker

Poker is an Anatolia

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

Klingon?

here's another controp : English should be made the official language of the USA

Albanian, right.

Both my parents are/were Irish immigrants in the 60's. Although my Irish roots are completely adulterated with Moorish dna via a shipwrecked galleon allegedly, but I still get a bit nervous when there are some mouldy potatoes in the Ocado sack.

I don't mean 'strong' literally. genetic traits like potato noses, alcoholism, blood diseases, inherited trauma, pale skin, red hair, melancholy carry over generations after the boats came thru Ellis Island and names were anglicized

xxp

martian actually

Most Irish names are already anglicized.

Ouch crazy times

Gets complicated when ppl emigrate under forced circs imo you can expect a multigenerational hangover

In the main just1ne otm tho

But America man. Nobody in America wants to be American afaict they seem v invested in the traits supposedly inherent to their genetics strange ppl

Like I'm from a place where the families have been occupants of the same fields for hundreds of years and we don't believe in inherent traits from one generation to the next really

But we do all have three eyes idk

fwiw,I'm okay with being Oregonian.

Not a matter of "belief" though, Irish-Anatolian polar bear.

The legend grows

But America man. Nobody in America wants to be American afaict

wrong

Ok but what is American?

It'd be like those Scottish settlers in Ireland still calling themselves Ulster Scots after being there for 400 years... errrrrrr.

The legend growls
