It's possible Irish communities could retain their accent over time, although it would change and grow as they interacted with their neighbours more. Some dialects in countries once colonized by Europeans end up remaining closer to their older forms than the mother country, in terms of grammar, pronunciation or word choice, due to the isolation over time. Then again, a bunch of those end up splintering into even more subdialects and are generally agreed to sound like hot garbage to anyone from the old country. waves Newfoundlandishly

ok, nobody is coming for you. Internet bird company may cease allowing you the privilege of using their services. But that's something different.


The initial post in outrage over the teacher, and how she was dressing had me a bit baffled, and remembering a quote from Lemmy, PBUH. He was talking about how things were different when he was a kid, and one could be "Thrown into paroxysms of joy at the sight of a well turned ankle"
Like SHOCK! HORROR! Would you just look at that scandalously short skirt! And in the classroom, no less.


The later analysis reveals more nuance.

Right, but couldn’t an Irish expat community have also preserved their accent for generations, much as many Amish communities have done in the US? I mean, of all the implausible things in Fallout 4, that’s one of the less implausible.

I feel like postapocalyptic bostonions cultivating an aggressively affected irish accent is probably the most likely outcome, so cait should have been voiced by a non-irish person trying very hard to do an irish accent.

There are a whole lot of people who were diagnosed with Aspergers as children and don't really keep up with things enough to know why it isn't being diagnosed as such anymore. It's not all that uncommon.

The idea that it makes you averse to lying though is absolutely insane, however.

Oh no, that part is actually true for a lot of people on the spectrum. I can't catch the body language that tells others you're lying to me, so I will fall for halfway convincing lies unless I get other information, like "This person has lied to me before, I probably shouldn't trust them.", or "I have heard this sort of thing before and it was a lie.". So I definitely don't like lying or being lied to. For a random example, if someone tries to convince people that hating trans people and misgendering them is a completely justifiable biological thing because of autism? That's a lie and I hate that.

(Seriously though, I dislike lying to the point where I have mastered the art of not-really-lying. I'll answer a question like "What book are you reading?" with "I recently bought *book that sounds more socially acceptable than current book*" or "I really like *author*." These statements are entirely true, but not related to the question I was asked. People rarely catch that or chalk it up to me being weird, so everybody's happy.)

The European Union Commonwealth tore itself apart during the Resource Wars before the bombs dropped, but otherwise we don't know much specifically. Tenpenny is actually a British man who crossed the Atlantic, which was supposed to show how bad off Britain is.

Could be both, the most racist, homophobic and transphobic person I've ever known used exactly that logic to justify it. She was also on the autistic spectrum and used that as a gotcha whenever you called her out on her poo poo.

I know people who were diagnosed as Aspergers and still use the term as there's kinda a sentimental attachment to it.

Also, I've worked in schools for a looong time and I'm pretty drat sure that if I was found out to be posting pics of students while I was teaching on my personal Instagram, I'd have been hauled straight out and blacklisted. Although there are rules about which students can have photos taken and put in public, that's only for school things like newsletters. This is the UK though, not USA.

Japan also has VERY strict laws/rules about what information about our students we are legally allowed to disclose.

If I shared pictures of any of my students on my personal social media, I would be sacked in a second and my visa revoked. And the recruitment company that hired me/does all the foreigner wrangling would be in big trouble.

When I worked in Australian schools there were very strict rules about use of personal social media accounts. Even for school-managed social media we had to carry out privacy impact assessments before going ahead. Even platforms like Compass and Seesaw that were designed to be used in schools needed parents to opt in. The rules were taken seriously enough by everyone that I only ever heard of one case of serious fuckery and the person involved got pretty much blackballed from the entire field.

anyone pointing to their autism to justify their bigotry is full of poo poo anyway because there's a correlation between autism and identifying as trans. maybe because we can recognise that gender policing is yet another illogical arbitrary social rule that people self-impose to make themselves and others miserable? or maybe because we are very good at noticing when things are uncomfortable, irritating, and ill-fitting and need to be disregarded?

"biological realism" lol. clearly gender isn't that idiot's special interest, if it were they'd know just how objectively wrong they are.
