What's the 12th?

I saw the fleg, read “straight pride” and thought mate, you’ve got the 12th.

God bless you Ellie Evans.

Super long Northern Irish history stuff, but the tl;dr version is that the 12th of July is when there's marches all over the country (the most violent ones usually happening in Belfast) celebrating when Protestant England effectively conquered Catholic Ireland in 1690. It's calmed down to a point lately but it's basically a big annual riot with routes designed to rile up the opposing side. The politicians representing the pro-UK / anti-Ireland side of things in Northern Ireland right now is super regressive - they're the ones keeping gay marriage and abortion etc illegal here.

I spend a lot of time in NI these days (best country ever) for work purposes. Last year I listened to my boss and basically hunkered down in the hotel filled with security while drunk chavs in Union Jack capes took over the streets, kinda freaked out by the stories he told of what it used to be like.
This year I went up to Derry and got massively hammered from the 11th to the 13th and forgot I had decided to go out in Belfast to document the weirdness.

Not sure where I'm going with this except holy poo poo there's still some pretty deep scars in Northern Ireland but it's the coolest country I've ever lived in.

I mean, its got so, so, so, so many flaws but I honest to God really love it. I haven't spent more than maybe 8 months total there through the last 3 years so obviously I miss a lot of the underlying poo poo that would be obvious to you, but now that my contract at my job is about to end I have been keeping a half eye out for jobs in NI just because I honestly like it there.

Assuming no Netflix, evenings is when you watch family stuff with your parents. It was a lot of Star Trek in my house.

I assume the "one hour per day" rule is more directed at long-term projects, which you don't work on all at once "until they're done"

The "left to spend" is about as much as my annual gross. Actually this is in US dollars so it's effectively 30% more than that.

Edit: Ah gently caress I'm an idiot. My annual gross is like 15 grand less than that lmao.
