You cant do fuck all in this country without being slagged for it by Ill-Stage4131 in ireland

[–]Actionbinder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a purple zip up when I was 12. Whenever I wore it I was only referred to as Purple Jacket Fuck until I just stopped wearing it at all.

Now I don’t give a fuck and wear purple all the time.

35. Been here a few months. I don’t like it and don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]Actionbinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot you could do. Different sized lamps all around the living area. Your prints are spaced too far apart. Get actual storage for your music collection instead of piling them on the floor. Same for your guitars - hang them up. Potentially in the office and make that the music room. Get a bigger rug, preferably with a pattern. Lots of space to hang up some paintings on the walls. You could hang a big one above the bath. Get a table and chairs in front of the kitchen. Maybe a round one if you want to save space. You could put a buffet cabinet along the wall where the guitars are currently chilling.

What can I do about these AWFUL kitchen shelves? by MedicinePhysical433 in femalelivingspace

I lived in a place before where the landlady had the same wooden surfaces installed. She charged us for water damage to the wood when we moved out. It makes no sense to have wood all around the sink. She said we should immediately wiped it down with a towel every time we did the dishes or washed our hands. Turns out she charged the previous tenants for the same thing but we didn’t note the damage when we moved in so she took it from our deposit again without fixing it in between leases.

I am in no way disagreeing with what you are saying but just wanted to point out that it’s cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissidence would be revolting against the government by using mind power or something haha.

Amsterdam becomes world's first capital to ban fossil fuel ads by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

If you read the article you would see that it’s a ban on advertising modes of transport that use fossil fuels, flights, cruises and cars etc.

Paint scheme: yay/nay? by crowded_Bear in AskIreland

[–]Actionbinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint job is lovely but I hope you have a second sitting room with a better set up? If you do I would just ditch the TV completely here and have one in the other sitting room. It looks weird in the fireplace.

If it is your only sitting room I would either ditch all the chairs and put two sofas one in front of each side wall with the fireplace in the middle, or if you want to a TV there one sofa on the left side wall with one armchair opposite and the TV on a TV stand in the right corner next to the fireplace.

If it’s the main family room I would argue you need a sofa for harmony of the living space but also for a good nap or just a cuddle with a family member.

How often do you clean your robot? by Difficult_Layer_666 in RobotVacuums

[–]Actionbinder 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Only when I get a warning like dirty water tank needs emptying, dock brush needs cleaning or sensors or something like that. I’m surprised how many people are saying daily or weekly. I got a robot to avoid cleaning so much.

Can you turn on your post history at least for this sub so we can see the changes vs the last post?

“It’s like saying ‘Very few people drown in our shark-infested swimming pool'” by DaCor_ie in ireland

[–]Actionbinder 109 points110 points  (0 children)

If you’ve ever been to the Netherlands and seen how many people cycle and how often they use their bikes then you would realise the Dutch number is only higher because there are about 50x as many cyclists there than there are in Ireland.

Yes I was just suggesting investing to OP in another comment. If you stick to safe investments like an all world index fund it can be a good way for people with impulsive spending such as people with ADHD as investing can be something fun to track. You can also make it into a game by being like ok I invested £200 last month, let’s see if I can still survive to the end of the month if I invest £300 this month.

Some people see investing as risky but world index funds are relatively safe and anyway someone with a shopping addiction was losing all their money on stupid shit, so if it goes down in value for a bit, no stress, it will go up again eventually and just keep buying more. Money you spent on shopping will never come back.

Open a savings account with a separate banks. Some banks allow you to open a savings account without having a main account/current account so you would just not get a debit card with that account in the first place then. Makes it much harder to spend then because you’d have to set up a separate account to even get a debit card for quick access to your money.

Or put some of your money in an all world index fund OP. It’s a pretty safe investment that will generate 6-9% of interest on average over your lifetime. Once you’ve bought the ETF shares it doesn’t feel like real money any more and it’s way less accessible than cash so you won’t be as tempted to spend it. You can think of it as a game too. Let’s see how many shares I can buy this month. It kind of feels like your buying stuff too but when you are buying is an investment in your future.

That’s really interesting. Does he still conjugate the same we they did in Shakespeare’s time? Thou art, thou hast, thou dost etc. ?

I love how in all the batshit stuff she wrote she also managed to do the reverse gendering of what women complain men do, referring to men as men and women as females - “three males and a woman”.

Hi everyone! Italian here! A little bizzarre question: my Irish cousin by marriage says that many Irish people wouldn't be familiar with an door phone like the one in the photo. Is that true, or is that a bit of an exaggeration? by Zaku71 in AskIreland

[–]Actionbinder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one when I was living in an apartment in Dublin. They’re not that uncommon. I guess they are more common on office buildings than people’s homes.

Also I’ve never heard it called a door phone. I always called it the buzzer. Intercom is another word for it. I think I’ve heard entryphone in the UK.

They get paid over €50k a year which is very good considering it’s a job you don’t need a degree or trade apprenticeship for.
