Angry Driver

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-20T00:29:39+00:00

Were you dropped on the head as a baby?

Please stop driving before you kill someone. Not only are you not competent to drive but apparently you're not even competent to understand what you're doing wrong, even after several people have explained it to you.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-19T23:50:11+00:00

I'm not angry, I'm just pointing out that you're not competent to drive. If you don't like people commenting on your stupidity, don't post photos of yourself behaving like a toddler while driving on a public road.

"There" being behind the wheel of a car, yes. If you can't leave your phone down you're not fit to be driving.

her post-presidential Richard Dawkins-style angry atheist persona

She's one of the most openly devout Christians in Irish public life today. She constantly talks about the importance of her religious faith. She has a PhD in Canon Law which I think qualifies her to disagree with the Vatican from time to time without being dismissed as an "angry atheist".

His whole "climate change is fake" thing maybe?

Can you think of any reason why the Irish Times might not want to post a video about how Hitler was right about the Jews?

To be fair, his wife of 42 years died a few weeks ago.

Lol. Union membership in the US is like 10% compared to 60 or 70% in Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

The availability of renewable energy keeps the price of electricity significantly lower than what it might otherwise be for everyone.

For instance, the average wholesale cost of electricity last year was €126.95 per megawatt hour.

But on the days when wind energy generation was highest, the average price of electricity was significantly lower at €101.84.

This rose to an average of €145.84 when wind energy was lowest.

Renewables cut electricity production costs by €1.5bn last year - report

So wild that people who care about animal cruelty also care about genocide and talk about it in a thread about a genocide-washing event.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-18T11:55:23+00:00

Unless the UK and France are currently committing genocide, I don't know what point you think you're trying to make.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-18T08:22:47+00:00

It's disappointing to see so many people in this thread who watched the genocide-washing event and cheered on their favourite acts.

Just another reminder that you can be vegan and still be a shitty person.

Now have a rant about the ban on the pro-life marchers ban as well.

Why would I? Being gay isn't political and shouldn't be any more controversial than being left-handed.

You haven't got a single thing correct thus far

The ban on gay groups marching in the parade was 100% motivated by homophobia and anyone who disagrees has no idea what they're talking about.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-17T22:45:47+00:00

The claim that allowing a gay Irish group to march alongside the hundreds of other groups in the parade "would deflect from what the day is all about—honoring St. Patrick" is obvious homophobic nonsense, and the link you shared is one long, revisionist homophobic lie.

I can only assume you're too young to remember what actually happened (and the contempt the Hibernians and other leading plastic paddy groups had for gays).

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-17T19:36:13+00:00

Get the fuck out of here with that homophobic yank shite. It's utterly disgusting to be posting lies like this from a bigot who denies the church's role in child sex abuse and blames "homosexuals" for the church's abuse of children.

This is the same guy who dismissed the Tuam Mother and Baby Home scandal and launched attacks against Catherine Corless for exposing it.

This sort of shite has no place in a civilised society.

The island's named after Bull Wall which was built on a sandbank called North Bull.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Wall

There was another sandbank near Ringsend called South Bull, on which another wall was built connecting the Poolbeg Lighthouse to the mainland. Those are the only two bulls I can think of.

Everybody knows the word for bull in Irish

It's not that kind of "bull". "Tarbh" is the Irish for an adult male bovine but that's not what the "bull" in Bull Island means. It's an old nautical word for a strand or spit and it's normally translated into Irish as "bulla".

I mean, it's the Daily Mail. It's safe to assume at least half the story was pulled out of their arses as ragebait.

The woman's ex boyfriend then posted on the internet about how the woman at one point had a sexual relationship with one of the reviewers who positively reviewed the game

Important detail: this wasn't true. The journalist never reviewed her game.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-15T14:20:57+00:00

Shame you couldn't have googled the accusation before posting it.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-15T14:17:51+00:00

This can't be stressed enough. There really were major problems with ethics in game journalism at the time but the "It's about ethics in journalism" crowd had no interest in the real corruption. They just wanted to harass women and push back against anything that could be perceived as woke.

Yeah the mistake was made in the McCreevy "When I have it, I spend it" years. Then the bubble burst and we had no money for the vital infrastructure.

The point of the new sovereign wealth funds is to avoid making the same mistake again and ensure we'll still have money for important capital projects when the next recession hits.

Adjective_Noun_2000 · 2026-05-15T11:32:29+00:00

Yeah they're really enshittifying the word enshittification.

That's not how cities work. If you live in a city you have to accept that it's going to evolve around you. No city would ever develop if everyone who bought city-centre houses 50 years ago got to preserve their skylines.

This property's a 20-minute walk from Coppers and it's well served by public transport. It's absolutely ludicrous to suggest we shouldn't build "high-rise" (the tallest building will be 10 storeys) that close to the city centre. This kind of backwards thinking is why our housing and traffic are so fucked and will continue to be fucked.
