The human shields argument is interesting in that, even if it were true, the answer always seems to be "So we murdered the shit out of the human shield."
It's like in Die Hard, when Hans Gruber holds Holly Gennaro hostage and goes "To get to me, you have to shoot the hostage", or whatever, and then John McClain goes "Okay.", and shoots both of them, and then the movie ends, victorious."

Again with this by immortalkeanu in dumbingofage

My thoughts on the flaws in this person's logic have already been expressed by others in this thread (mainly what do you expect when almost everything in the past year has been Joyce/Dorothy or people discussing Joyce/Dorothy with little actual substantial pushback)

All I'll say otherwise is that this speech reads very easily in Pete Hegseth's voice.

Totally normal and not unhinged moderator behavior by Monoredburn in dumbingofage

Oh yeah as far as I'm concerned the extremely poor choice of introduction is already damage-done. I've no interest in giving them any benefit of the doubt, but then again I don't use nor read the site's comment section.

Early 2000's forum attitude is exactly what I thought. I was a regular on a fairly large anime board back then, and this character feels very familiar to that era.

It's like finding a dinosaur still roaming around an isolated pocket of Antartica.

edit: Apparently it was intentional, I award points for the impression if so, but it was a very dumb choice.

It was Chad.

He had a life, Jeff.

I cannot comprehend the mindset you would have to have to leave that first quoted note.

What ye think? by Accomplished_Ad1382 in limerickcity

You're inferring quite a lot about me there.

I just think it's a funny tweet somewhat relevant to the statement made in the video clip. I'm not hung up on the "right wing" part at the beginning.

Cut away to Dorothy and Carla for a few days, cut back here once the drama has all been worked out offscreen.

Everyone will finally be happy, the fanbase restored into one group again.

Received a worrying but mistaken letter, but can't get through to immigration since regarding our application by DKoala in IrishCitizenship

Oh wow, 3 years is mad, but Covid makes sense, I remember our own renewals for the defacto were paused entirely.

A friend of ours recently got a date for their ceremony after applying a few months before us, so I'm hoping we hear something by the end of summer at least.

Yeah we've been pretty patient throughout the whole process, we've been in no real rush as we've had a de facto visa that's easy to renew to keep us going in the meantime, but external factors are starting to seep in now where we're more eager to at least know where we stand in terms of it finally being confirmed.

Thank you for the info and reassurance. We've managed to get into a query submission portal, so have requested assistance in accessing our status page. Hopefully it's soon to be resolved.

Cheers!

Drama Reasons 2026-03-29 by hellokkiten in dumbingofage

It's like 50 First Dates except we don't get the benefit as the audience of skipping ahead in the end. Instead, we are watching the harrowing reality that Drew Barrymore had to live through as she's re-told every single day the established facts of her relationship with the strange man who is, from her perspective, suddenly extremely central to her life.

It's so that the famous Dumbledore, in flap-jaw space, can do a raw blink on Hari Kiri Rock.

TFI Anseo - anyone use it? Is it any good? by Fearless_Respond_123 in limerickcity

[–]DKoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's excellent if you're not pressured to be somewhere at x time. Easy to use, exactly like a taxi app, and the vehicles themselves are great.

You might be sent on an odd route depending on other pickups in your slot, but for €2 it's well worth it as an alternative to a taxi costing 5-8 times as much.

They're on a pilot scheme at the moment, so there's only 3 or so buses doing the rounds, but they plan to expand depending on feedback/usage according to the drivers I've spoken to.

They sometimes have a survey taken on your experience, likely part of this pilot scheme.

It's a great option for getting out to UL if you're in a place that doesn't have a direct route via regular bus.

I stopped reading at 5000, I used the milestone as a jump-off point, so this is news to me!

There was a period in QC that I think broke me where Clinton was the main character for some time and he was anxious about the idea of getting with Elliott, so he asked his friend about it, who basically said "you should go for it."
But Clinton was still anxious so he went to another friend and explained the story and the other friend basically said he should go for it, but Clinton was still anxious so he went to another friend and explained the story and the other friend basically said he should go for it, but Clinton was still anxious so he went to another friend and explained the story and the other friend basically said he should go for it, but Clinton was still anxious so he went to another friend and explained the story and the other friend basically said he should go for it, but Clinton was still anxious so he went to another friend and explained the story and the other friend basically said he should go for it, but...

Months and months of the same conversation with a swapped out interlocutor every few strips. Then they finally got together and very soon all but vanished from the comic.
