Dat accuracy 😍

*shudder*

I try hard to put myself into other people’s shoes but I find it impossible to imagine being as fuckin’ stupid as this.

Edit: I wonder if he applies the same logic to men. He looks over 24 to me.

He was an absolute master of propaganda. The best / worst we’ve ever seen to the best of my knowledge. Evil genius doesn’t even scratch the surface.

All the way through the 1920’s and 30’s he masterfully moved public opinion in Germany, shutting down the free press, hosting the Olympics while convincing the West that Germany just wanted peace, nudging the populous towards war, the works.

Edit: thankfully for us all he recorded it in diaries that survived. He was a true believer. Hitler would never have achieved what he did without Goebbels. Others played pivotal roles but fuck me that pair were something.

I think the pixels themselves are still square, they just get scaled by the player to display, a bit like looking at a 1080p video on a 4k screen.

I remember this being a thing a long long time ago when TV rips were more common and would display janky on playback unless you forced the aspect ratio but I haven’t come across it in forever.

He’s making his list, redacting it twice, you’ll never find out who’s naughty or nice.

Eye-ch-urn-ken?

Irish and we have that gutteral Ch sound in Irish so I feel like it’s a cheat code for us.

I think many, many native speakers would struggle with those too so if you’re at that level you’re doing really well. Congrats!

Native. I say suttle. It’s a dirty word from the spelling in fairness.

They’re a member of the European Broadcasting Union which, despite the name, has heaps of non-European members.

edit: Australia has been in the last few years too. Not sure how that happened but I hope they stay. Their acts are great.

I’ve only played this one a few times but I think the key is a fast reading of the question.

Today I just happened to know the answers. On ones where you don’t and have to start the process of elimination it really kills your bonus time score off.

Pleasant little one today :)

We’ve stopped calling it the famine here and now it’s “the great hunger”.

Ireland was producing more than enough to feed itself but the British landlords were forcing the export of non-potatoes and leaving us to die.

The queen at the time politically shamed the Turks into reducing their aid to us because it was higher than hers.

What’s up, Turkey? We haven’t forgotten your generosity.

Massive, massive shout out to our Choctaw brothers and sisters in America who gave what they didn’t have after the trail of tears.

For those not familiar, we have never, ever forgotten that one.

Sculpture in Cork called “kindred spirits”:

Just wanted to re-thank you. On to season two and have already recommended this to two friends. Absolute cracker.

It’s about 300+ visitors per hour averaged out over the whole year given opening times / holidays. It’s a small assed island that requires a ferry to get to so honestly not bad. IMO.

It’s also very very far from Europe where I guess a decent chunk of US visitors come from.

Oh wow. Didn’t know it had shut down. Guess I’m in the lucky gang to have seen it while it was still a tourist attraction. Definitely one of the cooler things I saw in the US.

I’m surprised it wasn’t making money. It was very busy when I was there which was in September (1998 iirc).

Lost tourist revenue from that would surely be enormous.

Edit: apparently not. Wikipedia says:

Operating costs still remain one of its biggest challenges today.

Ireland ticks most of your boxes. If any of your grandparents are Irish you can get dual citizenship. English speaking and lots of cultural crossover etc.

Closer for trips back too. Think it’s only a 5 hour flight to New York for example.
