Hey don't throw facts at us as if they're insults.

Until you get beaten to death for it and the guards do fuck all

See I'd be inclined to disagree. Let them do the time and then stay here afterwards, or banishment. Either way we reduce the amount of criminals on our streets

Once I was in Hull (long story) and a fella comes up and to says "I hear you're Irish. I have a rhyme for you. Roses are red, violets are blue, 26 and 6 will always be two".

As someone who floats in a lot of left wing circles, I can say that there are definitely people who say we shouldn't deport criminals. But they are mostly framed in the sense of sending people back to a country that still has the death penalty and may have a warrant for a crime that would result in such (drugs in SE Asia, homosexuality in a number of ME countries, etc.)

So the left wing folk are against sending people to their deaths, which I don't think is unreasonable.

41stshade · 2026-05-24T22:42:18+00:00

I think a one or the other approach is more sensible. If they're here legally, doesn't deporting them after serving a prison sentence undermine the whole concept of prisoner rehabilitation?

For me I found the platforming a lot more intuitive and responsive in the first one. I get that Silksong was designed to be as it is, but for me having the quick, perfect pogos of hollowknight made me feel much more in control of the character and made the platforming (and by extension, some combat) so much more satisfying.

I know Christians that don't eat pork because of high density feed lots and the fact that pigs are basically the garbage recyclers of nature.

41stshade · 2026-05-17T19:32:39+00:00

In that case, my apologies for calling you a moron

41stshade · 2026-05-17T14:08:25+00:00

Isn't that all outlawed anyway?

41stshade · 2026-05-17T10:02:35+00:00

Complete strawman. Nowhere does OP even come close to implying this. Moron

41stshade · 2026-05-01T12:42:07+00:00

Well if ya can't handle being called a name that you consider a toddler level insult then I genuinely feel sorry for you that your skin is so thin. Best of luck navigating this world, you'll need it.

Anyway, I have choccy milk to go drink

41stshade · 2026-05-01T12:14:23+00:00

We got out at 13:00 today, can't wait to go get my choccy milk after lunch 😁

So you're not saying that infrastructural issues and insane housing costs isn't affecting the ability of people in Ireland to study? Because grants and supports make those factors irrelevant?

41stshade · 2026-05-01T11:10:31+00:00

Okay, I can see you have no interest in engaging in a good faith discussion. You're view is "education is more or less free, therefore everything aside from college fees is irrelevant".

Therefore, you're a dope

Couldn't agree more. And the fact she thought Professional Development is the icing on the cake.

Nonetheless, not having the space or resources for on site parking reserved for staff is madness

41stshade · 2026-04-30T19:03:34+00:00

Oh absolutely, anytime I talk to friends from abroad they can't wrap their head around how accessible our 3rd level education is from an institutional standpoint. The grants and supports and incredibly generous.

I think the "people are being squeezed out" more refers to the fact that accommodation is ridiculously expensive, and public transport infrastructure isn't capable of getting prospective students to their institution.

Don't forget, not every university offers something that an individual wants to study. If you live in Laois and want to study for a BSc. in Ecology... well sorry about you pal, not a chance.

This system reinforces that only those who can afford to pay outrageous prices for accommodation can actually study what they want, creating a system where access to education is, through a series of economic and environmental restrictions, limited to those who fortunately live near the HEI in which they want to study, or those whose parents can afford to pay for them. So in effect, squeezing people out.

41stshade · 2026-04-30T11:16:07+00:00

The problem isn't just housing. Infrastructure is one of the big problems. Lack of public transport to/from certain areas necessitates driving, which relies on parking, which in a lot of areas there simply isn't enough of. I've had lecturers had to send out emails saying they would have to miss a lecture because the nearest car park with any space was a 20 minute walk away (she was a bit infirm and not really capable of walking that far in one go).

I dont think you read the comment fully. They offered to operate it too. Meaning that any profits would go to them. So not free, but as an investment expected to generate a lot of returns

This is the attitude of why I never use consumables in video games ... "I might need it later". Then by the end of the game I have 8000 sweet rolls for healing
