I'm disappointed that the thread from yesterday died, even after surviving to 10 AM
David Rivera
Why did you let it die user? Why?!
Noah Hill

Anthony Martin
Started the evangelion rebuilds to see if they'll get it right this time.
Damn it, I think I've been infected with the weeb curse.
Luke Jenkins
Good weeb.
Lincoln Reyes
Becoming an alcoholic.
Jaxson Thomas
Are you rich?
Nicholas Butler
No, I'm thrifty.
Jeremiah Gray
You can only call yourself an alcoholic if you have thought about drinking your perfume and/or hand sanitiser
Brandon Edwards
No, I'm not that bad.
Just adjusting my behaviour to alcohol too much, and losing control when drunk.
Evan Roberts
>losing control when drunk.
lightweight
Mason Lopez
I still get out of it thanks to charisma and intelligence checks, but it's like taking wild wasteland or terrifying presence in fallout.
Isaac Murphy
Do you get more confident or do you do silly things?
Grayson Wilson
Both.
I get confident enough to intimidate people and also outwit them while drunk.
Charles Cruz
> intimidate people
As in you are overwhelmingly confident, making people feel a bit uneasy?
Do you chat up girls while drunk?
Colton Hall
>You can only call yourself an alcoholic if you have thought about drinking your perfume and/or hand sanitiser
Have you had these thoughts, Lux?
David Smith
Not necessarily.
I seem to have a complete disregard for sex while drunk, or at least it doesn't factor into my decision making process.
I do get a bit "confident", but I think what I show people of my personality either greatly impresses or frightens them. It's more like I have less of a filter of shyness, and where they'd write me off as a boring person while sober, they'd be taken aback.
And then when I get absolutely blitzed I say and do things that I know make no sense, almost like it's an almost completely different personality.
Aaron Myers
My perfume is too expensive to waste it in such a way
Do you know people addicted to something?
Jacob Davis
>My perfume is too expensive to waste it in such a way
"Aftershave" is usually used in the context of male perfume.
>Do you know people addicted to something?
I have an internet addition - probably.
Other than that, no. I'm sure you know a variety of eccentric individuals with unique addictions, right?
Brody Russell
>america and the internet killed this woman

Nicholas Green
>"Aftershave" is usually used in the context of male perfume
Is cologne not more accurate?
Brayden Wilson
>I seem to have a complete disregard for sex while drunk
What a shame
> either greatly impresses or frightens them
So you mostly go out with people you don't know that well or you just meet people while out?
Would you consider yourself a shy person in general?
>"Aftershave" is usually used in the context of male perfume
Might sound a bit pretentious, but it's not the same thing, perfume, cologne and aftershave are different, but of course you might know better than me
>I have an internet addition
Could be worse, you could have a drug subtraction for example
You can go without internet for a while, it's just that you don't choose to do so, right?
>I'm sure you know a variety of eccentric individuals with unique addictions, right?
Afraid not,I try to stay away from such people,of course I know some who consume the occasional drug here and there but that's none of my business
Leo Wood
>shooter was actually pissed about her channel being demonetised
The memes are real.
I wouldn't say that it's more accurate, but it is just as serviceable. I was just under the assumption that "Cologne" was like "Hoover" whereby one really popular brand came to be de-facto name for the product itself?
David Clark
I'm shy as fuck.
I rarely go out, and when I do I'd need a friend to protect me from embarrassing myself, getting into a fight, or committing a crime because I think it'd be funny.
Owen Harris
>You can go without internet for a while
I don't think many people can these days.
Depends how you define an addiction, I guess. You wouldn't die without the internet but ones mental health and such may deteriorate... in which case one may die by suicide.
>I try to stay away from such people
But you came to /éire/? Confused I am.
>I was just under the assumption that "Cologne" was like "Hoover" whereby one really popular brand came to be de-facto name for the product itself
Maybe so, I'm far from an expert on it all. According to the aftershave wiki page though, people sometimes use the term aftershave wrongly in place of cologne. Don't think it matters much these days though.
Nathaniel Lewis
>but it's not the same thing, perfume, cologne and aftershave are different
Only in their composition apparently, but they are all considered to be male equivalents of perfume due to containing perfume oil:
murdocklondon.com
Personally I've only ever heard aftershave used. "Cologne" always struck me as a Yankism, and Eau de Toilette is just French.
>You can go without internet for a while
It's been a long time since I tried going without for more than a few hours.
Christian Garcia
>You can go without internet for a while, it's just that you don't choose to do so, right?
I believe that's the "I can quit any time I want to!" defence.
>Could be worse, you could have a drug subtraction
Heh.
Aiden Myers
Nah, cologne is what you put on purely for the shave.
These days aftershave is for the skin, with a perfumey smell of course, but not enough by itself.
Lucas Gonzalez
>heh
are you filthy druggie scum too?
die scum
Elijah Reyes
Fuck, meth sounds bad.
Henry Powell
I don't think you got the joke.
Owen Powell

t. Filling Station
Noah Torres
It's not as bad as heroin or benzos withdrawal
TOO BE HONEST. (desu)
Michael Phillips
>cologne is what you put on purely for the smell
*fixed*
Nathaniel Adams
But Americans say "gas station".
Thomas Turner
Both are bad.
Tyler Cox
One isn't a Yankism though.
Jayden Brooks
Both are desu.
Petrol station or garage.
I have noticed yankisms take over nearly completely, even among the older generation.
"Lorry" is seldom heard, they're all "trucks" now.
Owen Edwards
You can keep telling yourself that.
Aaron Rogers
>Americans say "gas station"
I was playing on the fact that you/he was calling out words for being foreign yet uses foreign words yourself/himself.
>Both are bad
Good post.
>One isn't a Yankism though
Are you implying Britisms are better?
Henry Allen
>"Lorry" is seldom heard, they're all "trucks" now
Does it really matter which we call them?
Gabriel Harris
"Filling Station" is the umbrella term; all other variants are regional derivatives:
Robert Bennett
>Only in their composition apparently, but they are all considered to be male equivalents of perfume due to containing perfume oil
Don't make me question what the lady at the perfume factory told me
But it might just be me not understanding the English language as usual
>But you came to /éire/? Confused I am.
You aren't hiding an addiction from us,are you?
>or committing a crime because I think it'd be funny.
I'd say that you wouldn't do that on your own?
Angel Smith
No.
Fuck English.
Fuck the school system.
Fuck RTE.
Moron.
Elijah Edwards
>Moron.
Nathan Gonzalez
>I'd say that you wouldn't do that on your own?
???
No, I'd need a friend to remind me that robbing pear orchards is illegal.
Julian Campbell
>USA
bad
>Ireland
OK
>Poland
good
>Brazil
completely perfect
James Bailey
A-any cute irish boys here? :3
Nathaniel Thompson
What do you call the place where do you buy your petrol and/or diesel?
Ryan Brown
>"Filling Station" is the yank term; all other variants are regional derivatives
And we happen to live in one of these regions where we call it a petrol station.
Gavin Adams
>Filling Station
That's not how you spell garage or petrol station.
>You aren't hiding an addiction from us
Well one has to hide something desu. And I wouldn't say it is too well hidden.
>it might just be me not understanding the English language as usual
Don't worry Lux, you are 100% right as per usual. Don't listen to them.
Blake Taylor
>>Brazil
>completely perfect
These shitposts are getting more ridiculous.
Owen Lee
So ginger, wow.
Isaiah Lewis
>Don't make me question what the lady at the perfume factory told me
I guess you'll have to decide who you trust more; a random internet stranger or a woman who works at a perfume factory.
I know, but that doesn't make calling it a Filling Station wrong or American.
Hudson Hall
What's your favourite country apart from Ireland, lads? For me it's Mexico, they make great beer and affordable guitars.
Wyatt Perry
Don't have one. They are all filled with foreigners who don't think like us or understand our ways.
Guess France is alright though.
Ayden Diaz
Bensinmack or macken for short :3
Gavin Walker
>Mexico
>Brazil
Are all of you anime retards brown immigrants too? Would explain a lot.
Anyway on topic, probably the Philipinnes since they're catholic and basically brown Ireland with better weather.
Caleb Jackson
>that doesn't make calling it a Filling Station wrong or American
Yes it does to both.
Chase Powell
Ever been?
Dylan Gonzalez
>Bensin
Jaxon Murphy
Thank you.
Now you're just being obtuse. I can't present any more evidence than I already have.
Levi Miller
If you knew that a friend or family member were addicted to a drug or something,would you do something about it?
>Don't worry Lux, you are 100% right as per usual. Don't listen to them.
Thanks for the reassuring words
>Apart from Ireland
Might go for Luxembourg then
Jace Bennett
>complains about brown people
>picks a brown country
Austin Russell
That's what you put in the car for it to go vroom vroom ^^
You're welcome! :3
Jaxon Adams
>I can't present any more evidence than I already have
You haven't presented any evidence, other than a wikipedia article that explicitly states the Irish term is petrol station.
>That's what you put in the car for it to go vroom vroom
LIKE ZOOM
Elijah Bell
>Don't worry Lux, you are 100% right as per usual. Don't listen to them.
Not fond of your treachery.
>If you knew that a friend or family member were addicted to a drug or something,would you do something about it?
I'd likely be the last person to find out, so probably not.
>other than a wikipedia article that explicitly states the Irish term is petrol station.
Read this again: Is it wrong to call something by its official term?
Owen Carter
VN user around?
>Not fond of your treachery
I swore I would get revenge on all those who opposed Taytos.
Josiah Gutierrez
>I swore I would get revenge on all those who opposed Taytos.
Worth it.
Brandon Anderson
What's with anime/shoujo saying getting a job, friends, the power of friendship and love is important. Fuck off Japan I don't have to be made feeling worse for being a billy nomates. fucks sake, at this stage it's like listening to a culchie bog warrior talking about the wife and working and going to the pub with mates at this point. Not even worth it for the tits and legs and that anymore. might just switch to exclusively doujins and hentai
Brandon Phillips
>What's with anime/shoujo saying getting a job, friends, the power of friendship and love is important.
Because Jap boyos don't believe any of that and the Jap government and official society think if they trick them into believing it the material conditions to make it true will come about.
Same thing here.
>billy nomates
"Billy" should have no "mates" here, west brit.
Jaxson Edwards
Anime makes you feel worse about your own life 9 times out of 10. It's a strange form of escapism.
Jose Walker
Off to the shops. Want anything?
Elijah Lewis
>Same thing here.
Irish society is nothing like Japanese society in that regard.
Cooper Bennett
We're only behind the curve. What the lefties say about that is true. It's just a race to the bottom.
Chase Flores
A race to the bottom in what?
Andrew Diaz
Japan is much more collectivist in nature, Irish people tend to be much more independent with the whole needing to own your own house.
We're on the better end of the spectrum in terms of quality of life imo
Evan Lopez
>ireland
>individualist
Nolan Baker
it clearly is you braindead spastic
Luke Baker
>Is it wrong to call something by its official term?
Official according to yanks. We've always called it a petrol station so that's the official Irish term. This is on the same level as calling an Taoiseach the prime minister.
I still find the word crisps weird to say.
Benjamin Phillips
>I still find the word crisps weird to say
Then stop saying it. Join the Irish side.
Jeremiah Johnson
>We've always called it a petrol station so that's the official Irish term
That's not how "official terms" work.
Juan White
>This is on the same level as calling an Taoiseach the prime minister.
No it's not. Not only is there a language difference, but "Taoiseach" and Prime Minister aren't even equivalent translations.
Carson Morales
>Join the Irish side.
What would the Irish word be in this case?
Cameron Bell
He thinks Irish people call all crisps "Taytos" when that isn't even close to being true.
Elijah Young
No, you normaloid mong.
Evan Harris
>What would the Irish word be in this case?
Taytos. Make sure you call them that over here, lest people think you are a continental who consumes an excessive amount of British culture.
Josiah Ward
I've only heard people call them crisps when speaking generally, maybe its a culchie thing
Noah Sanders
>when that isn't even close to being true
Certainly what every member of my family calls them, and all the people I knew well going to school.
You live in a city and call them crisps? Am I reading correctly?
Sebastian Russell
I don't really, but calling things that aren't proper Taytos taytos still seems wrong so I tend to call them by their individual brand name or not call them anything at all. Maybe sticking to taytos would be easier, but I also respect the Tayto brand enough that I wouldn't want to risk devaluing it. It's a difficult situation.
Then tell me who dictates the officiality of the term. If you say that it's the official term because that's what the first one opened called itself then you must also refer to cars as automobiles and tanks as landships.
>Not only is there a language difference
An Taoiseach is the official term in both Irish and English.
>"Taoiseach" and Prime Minister aren't even equivalent translations
Explain the differences between the office of Taoiseach and prime minister then. And don't say some shit like "Taoiseach is derived from the Irish for chieftain" or something because that's not what we're arguing about.
It is true though, it's been dying out in recent years however.
Angel Price
Here in Dublin they're all crisps, maybe the sheep shaggers call them Taytos because brands are the only things you can remember after eating mushies all day.
Jaxson White
No.
People who defend these kind of Britishisms which were particular to Ireland are defending what was common across Ireland 30 years ago, based on what Father Ted told them was "Irishness".
30 years ago it was all Taytos, then when there came new crisps they were all referred to by brand-names, and the only one that could compete with Taytos before the EU/Celtic Tiger era brought in foreign supermarkets with own brands was Walkers, with particular weird types of crisps like Hunky Dories or Skips called by their own name too.
Now it's all just "crisps" and calling them all "Taytos" is an inaccurate affectation, pining for a very shallow-rooted consumerist 90s Irishness.
Nolan Taylor
>particular weird types of crisps like Hunky Dories
What's weird about Hunky Dories?
Nolan Diaz
>Explain the differences between the office of Taoiseach and prime minister then. And don't say some shit like "Taoiseach is derived from the Irish for chieftain" or something because that's not what we're arguing about.
But that's exactly what you two are arguing about?
It's an entirely English structure mislabeled with an Irish terminology. That's exactly what we have today, in more than just "Taoiseach" versus "Prime Minister".
They're a more specific kind of crisp than Tayto's or Walkers - the generic type.
Caleb Green
>I don't really
So you do actually call them all taytos for the most part?
>but calling things that aren't proper Taytos taytos still seems wrong
It may very well be wrong in the strict sense, but so would using outdated words like craic instead of fun. It's what many people call them and is a word inherent to our culture, wrong or not.
>I tend to call them by their individual brand name or not call them anything at all
>I tend to call them by their individual brand name or not call them anything at all
It sounds you realise that people call them taytos but are for some reason trying to be grammatically correct or something? Be yourself (and everyone else) desu.
>it's been dying out in recent years however
Well if the youth on Jow Forums are anything to go by, then sure. Maybe all this British and Yank culture really is affecting us badly.
Jeremiah Carter
Duplicate quote should've been...
>It's a difficult situation
Elijah Anderson
>mfw looking back over the thread
I think we might have taken the nomenclature autism too far, lads.
Colton Myers
This isn't nomenclature, it's semantics.
Samuel Scott
>Here in Dublin they're all crisps, maybe the sheep shaggers call them Taytos
Thanks for helping to prove my point Dub-kun.
>pining for a very shallow-rooted consumerist 90s Irishness
Christ, it's just a word all my elders used. Sorry for not embracing the culture of the 21st century.
