James Connolly and Jim Larkin would be horrified.

I’m not even sure what dinner toast is. How does OP combine all those? Is he making a quiche?

I think I remember finding an option to dim that.

There is an Irish rural accent that pronounces it AY-ther.

Me too. Out of interest do you pronounce it ‘gif’ as well?

r/TotallyNotRobots is spreading everywhere.

See the 30 second clip on YouTube. Tate talks about books. It’s hilarious and chilling.

Well, I guess you won’t find them around here. Remember Tate telling everyone he was ‘too smart to read’.
